Author note: Here is chapter 2. Hope you all enjoyed chapter 1.
"You got her a collar for me?" Sora asked, not amused by the attack. "That isn't very funny. By the way, if you had asked, I probably would have just put it on."
"Yeah right," Lily broke in. "I have seen Kairi try to force you into a tie. Not Pretty."
"Oh yeah," Sora remembered. "Guess the attack was necessary."
"Is everything alright in there?" Selphie yelled into the hallway.
"It is now," Riku yelled back. "Come on Sora. Grab your gift so Kairi can open the rest of ours."
Sora grabbed his gift, and headed into the other room. Thankfully, his gift was large to cover the collar that was now around his neck.
"Here Kairi, open mine first." Selphie said, forcing a box wrapped in stars, into Kairi's hands.
Kairi unwrapped the box and opened it. "Ohh" Kairi cooed as she took out the gift. "Look, it's a teddy bear holding a paopu star. That's adorable, Selphie. Thank you. I love it."
"I'm glad, it took forever to find." Selphie smiled.
"Mine next!" Tidus yelled, handing Kairi an odd shaped gift.
Kairi opened the gift and an amused look came over her face. She held up the gift.
"You got me a super soaker?" Kairi asked.
"No, I got you a Super Soaker 5000!" Tidus cheered. "It is the best one there is."
"So this year, I am going to p'wn all of you in our annual water fight." Kairi smiled, obviously liking Tidus's gift even more.
"Nice going Tidus," Wakka said. "Now none of us stand a chance of winning against that thing."
"That's right," Kairi joked, before laughing evilly.
"That was scary." Namine said. "Here open mine next."
Kairi took the flat gift, wrapped perfectly in flower wrapping paper. She tore open the wrapping paper revealing a beautiful painting of the moon rising. The moon was purple and reflected on a multi-colored blue and purple ocean. The moon was framed with four beautifully painted dark palm trees. Above the moon there was a shooting star.
"Oh Wow, Namine," Kairi stated, "This is amazing. Did you paint it?"
"Yep!" Namine responded with a smile. "I painted it a couple of weeks ago. It took so long and I added the star just for you, by the way."
"This is just amazing!" Kairi exclaimed, just staring at the painting in astonishment.
"Mine next," said Lily, who was standing behind Kairi.
Lily handed Kairi a small rectangular box, tied with a sapphire blue ribbon. Kairi carefully untied the ribbon. By the way that Lily had handed her the box, she knew that the contents were fragile. As she opened the box, a gasp escaped her lips. Inside there was a single ruby red rose that had been dipped in gold.
"Lily," Kairi stated, while holding the rose, "This is beautiful, but it had to have cost a fortune."
"It really didn't cost that much," Lily assured the red-head. "We got those in last week and I thought of you when I saw that one. Besides, I used my employee discount on it."
"Man, did everyone finish their shopping for Kairi last week?" Sora asked from the edge of the couch, still holding the silent lovebirds. Sora was glad that they hadn't given away what they were yet.
"Yeah," was the unanimous answer that he got back.
Kairi put the rose back in the padded box before delicately putting the box in the coffee table. Selphie came over and moved the box to the dining room with the other gifts that had already been opened.
"Ok, whose gift is next?" Kairi asked, looking at the three boys still holding gifts and Roxas who was sitting next to Namine.
"I want to be next," Sora stated with a grin.
"Alright," Wakka sighed. "You can be last. I guess that it's my gift next." He handed Kairi a large bucket shaped gift.
As she opened the gift, she started to laugh. Wakka had given her a bucket that contained 1000 empty water balloons, two faucet fillers, and a balloon bag for her belt.
"And YOU complained about me giving her a super soaker!" Tidus yelled behind Wakka.
"Now you boys have done it," Selphie laughed. "Kairi is definitely armed for the water fight now."
"I think that I'm going to be staying on her side this year. I bet it will be safer." Namine explained.
"Thanks a lot, you two!" Sora, Riku, and Roxas yelled, at the same time, while Kairi had a very devilish smile plastered on her face.
"My gift is next." Riku said, grinning at Sora, who just rolled his eyes.
Riku handed the birthday girl a small soft gift wrapped in dark blue wrapping paper. Kairi opened the gift to find a bright purple leash.
"Umm Riku, I don't have a dog." Kairi stated, confused.
"I know that," Riku responded back. "Sora come over here."
"Do I have to?" Sora complained, while hiding behind his gift.
"Yes, you do," Riku enforced. "Now put that down and get your butt over here, before I kick it over here for you."
"Fine," Sora sighed, as he carefully set his gift on the coffee table. He went and stood by Riku.
"I got you a leash for your wild child boyfriend here," Riku told Kairi, with a grin, while pointing to Sora's neck.
"That's so funny," Selphie laughed.
Kairi got up and moved over to Sora. She reached up and clipped that leash to the collar.
"Sit," she commanded, and Sora went along with it. He sat down where Kairi had been sitting, not that he had a choice.
"Good boy," Kairi praised, as she patted his head, while sitting down his lap again.
"Geez Sora," Roxas started, "She's got you whipped. Glad I'm not like that."
"Hey Namine, I got you something too," Riku said turning to the blue-eyed blond.
"But it isn't my birthday," Namine said as Riku handed her a gift similar to the one that Kairi had gotten.
Namine opened the gift, only to start laughing. She held up another leash except hers was pale blue in color. About that time, Roxas felt something click around his neck. No one had noticed that Lily had snuck around behind him. He now had a pale blue collar on, just like Sora's purple one.
"What the heck?" Roxas screamed, as he whirled around to face Riku.
"Well," Riku smirked, "Kairi needed one and so did Namine. You boys are a trouble to keep track of. These leashes will help with that."
"Besides, I think it looks cute." Namine said, batting her eyes at the blond boy.
"Fine," Roxas sighed in defeat. "I'll wear it for a little while, only to humor you."
"And you claimed that I was whipped." Sora laughed at his spirit self.
"Don't make me run you into the counter again." Roxas growled.
"Hey break it up!" Selphie broke in. "Kairi still has one gift to open. This is the one that I have been waiting for."
Riku pushed Sora's gift closer to Kairi. She removed the sheet that had been covering the cage.
"They're so cute!" Kairi squealed upon seeing the lovebirds, which started to make noise at that point. "I can't believe you remembered that I wanted lovebirds."
"It took me a while to remember," Sora smiled, obviously proud of himself. "These were the only ones who were acting like lovebirds."
"They're from me too." Roxas added.
"So Kairi," Lily asked, "What are their names?" She had asked the question that everyone was thinking.
"Well I was thinking the girl is going to be Dayla, and the boy is going to be Tayo." Kairi smiled while holding Dayla.
"Those are adorable names," Namine sighed, while holding Tayo. He started to peep which got Dayla talking.
Suddenly, Tidus appeared behind the girls. "I want to hold one!" He yelled, causing both Namine and Kairi to jump. At that point the lovebirds flew from their hands.
"Tidus!" Sora yelled, "Why did you do that?" As the others ran around chasing the two escaped lovebirds.
"Everybody FREEZE!" Kairi yelled, and everyone froze.
Roxas was standing on one leg on the coffee table. Riku and Lily were standing out of the way, shaking their heads. Namine was next Kairi, and was very calm like her somebody. Wakka was sitting on Tidus since it was his fault the birds had escaped to begin with. Selphie was choking Tidus, with Wakka's help. And Sora had stopped mid-air.
"First of all," Kairi started, "We all need to calm down before we can catch them. And second. How are you stopped mid-air, Sora?"
"Umm, I can't really explain it," Sora answered. "It just sort of happens."
Kairi smiled at Sora and it made him forget what he was doing and where he was. All he knew what that he was falling.
CRASH!!!
"Oww, that hurt too." Sora exclaimed after falling on the coffee table. Sora hitting the coffee table caused Roxas to lose his balance and to fall.
"Ahhh!" Roxas screamed as he fell. Luckily he landed on the couch. But not before hitting his leg on the table.
"Oh Roxas! Are you alright?" Namine asked, running to his side to make sure nothing was broken.
"I think so," Roxas managed to answer. "Sora, I am totally going to beat you later."
"Nobody move!" Kairi yelled again as she stepped over Sora, who was at that point was laughing on the floor.
Everyone's eyes were on Kairi as she knelt down and picked up the two scared lovebird.
"Come on Dayla. You too, Tayo." She said softly, as the lovebirds climbed onto her extended fingers. "It will be alright. Big stupid Tidus can't get you."
Kairi sent a glare at Tidus. Thankfully Selphie had stopped choking him so that he could get the full impact of the glare.
Kairi put the lovebirds back in their cage, after giving them kisses, and covered it with the sheet. Covering the cage gave the birds a sense of security so they could calm down.
Kairi then turned her attention to Tidus. "Don't ever do that to them again. OK?" She growled at him, before smacking him in the head.
"Ok," Tidus managed to squeak out before Selphie also smacked him upside the back of the head. "Now apologize!" She demanded.
"Kairi, I'm really sorry I scared Dayla and Tayo. I was just really excited to see them." Tidus apologized.
"That's ok, Tidus. I forgive you." Kairi replied, smiling again. "They didn't get hurt, so no harm."
"Hey Kairi. How bout we got to the island for the rest of your birthday?" Namine asked.
"Bet that is what you all were planning already?" Kairi guessed. "Selphie, is ok to leave the gifts here?"
"Yeah, I was already planning on that," Selphie said. "Come on guys, let's go get the boats ready."
Everyone but Sora and Kairi ran off to get their boats. "Are they ok?" Sora asked the red-head as she tended to her pets.
"Yeah, they just got scared." Kairi answered as she gave them food and water for the night.
"Come on Kairi," Selphie yelled from the doorway. "We got your boat ready too."
Kairi and Sora headed out the door and got into their boats. Then the party moved to the island.
