Hey guys. This chapter is only about half the length of my other chapter which is pretty dismal so sorry about that. I'm going to try and update this story regularly but I'm not that good at sticking to dead lines so I'm making no promises.

Disclamer: I own nothing in this story.

"Riku just hear me out for a sec..." Sora was trying to convince Riku to go the road trip that he was planning but there was on big problem, and she was walking towards them right now.

"There you are! I've been trying to find you two for ages. It's like you guys were trying to ditch me." Selphie's face was like one big smile which looked really weird next to the two guys' blank faces and the fact that they were at school.

"We were trying to ditch you but we clearly didn't try hard enough." Sora was joking of course but there was definitely a hint of seriousness in his voice.

"Why are you always so mean to me?" Selphie then slapped Sora across the face causing him to reel over in pain.

I think it needs to be explained that Sora and Riku's friendship with Selphie is a weird one. They all act like best friends and do best friend things like come to each other for advice and stuff but at the same time Sora and Riku (Sora especially) found her to be unbelievably annoying so they often avoided her.

"Maybe if you didn't bitch slap me whenever I make a joke," Sora had recovered from the slap although there was now a red hand print on his cheek.

"But you always make it sound so serious," said Selphie while doing a sort of puppy dog pout.

"C'mon Selphie when have I ever been serious about anything? I've never said a serious word before and probably never will. Now Riku I'm being serious about the road trip. It will be awesome and you have to come." Riku was about to make a remark on the stupidity of what Sora had just said but decided to just leave it or they would be there for ages and lunch only lasted 45 minutes.

"Okay I'm in. It sounds like a pretty awesome idea but how are we going to afford this?" asked Riku.

"Ah, this is where I show my brilliance. I have savings of around 4000 munny and thanks to the different odd jobs I do I have calculated my yearly earnings to be about 2000 munny...after deductions. Then if I get a proper part time job then I will be able to earn another 2000 munny onto the original 2000. Finally thanks to educational scholarships I get another 1000 munny a year to spend on whatever I want.' Sora concluded his speech with a bow.

Riku was always amazed when Sora used his brains and showed how much of a genius he could be. Thanks to Sora's laidback personality and his many blonde moments no-one ever thought he was smart but in fact he was one of the smartest students in his class.

"Oh my god that's awesome! I can't wait to go on this trip with you two! It will be so cool with just the three of us going!" Selphie was jumping up and down in excitement and it was all Sora could do not to cringe at the thought of being stuck on a road trip with Selphie.

Sora decided that he had to stop her now, "Selphie you're not going on the road trip," he said bluntly.

"What? Why not?" asked a shocked Selphie.

"Well first this was meant to be a 'bro' trip with me, Riku and my cousin going. No girls (This was a lie). Secondly because I never invited you, you invited yourself (this was true). Finally, and I can't stress this enough, I don't want you to come because you will annoy the crap out of me (this was very true).

"Fine then, I didn't want to come anyway. It sounded like a shit idea." With that she stormed off. Even though Selphie had said she didn't want to go she tried many times to invite herself on the road trip. She even went as far as claiming it was her idea.

Now that Selphie had left Riku turned to Sora and asked, "Sora I know you did a really good job with your calculations and all but I see a problem."

"And what might that be my friend?" asked a curious Sora.

"Well if six of us are coming on the road trip and we are going to go to all the worlds I don't think that you will be able to afford it." While this was a very good point Sora didn't seem to hear.

"Who will you bring on the trip?" asked Sora trying to change the subject.

"What? I don't know." This question had caught Riku off guard.

Sora continued as if Riku hadn't spoken, "I was thinking that you could take Xion." Riku gulped at this suggestion but still Sora continued, "Actually I was thinking that you should ask her out now seeing as you have liked her for ages. Plus this way when the time of the road trip comes around you will have been dating for a couple of years and there will be no doubt that she will come." Sora knew that if he kept talking about Xion he could distract Riku.

"Sora you aren't going to distract me. Now tell me how you will pay for it," demanded Riku although his face had gone a bright shade of red at the mention of Xion's name.

"Hah, but I have distracted you! You had no idea that this whole time I have been leading you into a trap," Sora gloated victoriously.

Riku was confused, "What? What trap? You haven't led me anywhere. We are standing in the exact same place as before."

"Figuratively, I was meaning figuratively. Jeez let me finish next time. Now shall I continue?" Sora couldn't help but feel that Riku said that deliberately just to steal his thunder.

"Go on," sighed Riku while motioning with his hand.

"I will tell you how I am going to pay for the trip but only if you ask out Xion first." Sora had a very mischievous grin on his face.

"What?" asked a shocked Riku.

"They're the rules," Sora said plainly.

"But that's unfair!" started Riku.

"Hey I don't make the rules I just enforce them"

"But you did make the rules," said a very frustrated Riku.

"Whatever. Are you gonna ask her out or not?" Sora was very nonchalant about the situation.

"Fine, I'll do it," sighed Riku in defeat.

Riku was totally unprepared for what Sora did next and was ready to kill him for it. "HEY XION, RIKU WANTS TO ASK YOU SOMETHING! CAN YOU PLEASE COME OVER HERE?" Once Sora had finished yelling to Xion, who was about 30 metres away from the two, he turned to Riku who was giving him a death glare, "You're welcome," added Sora with a whisper.

After a walk that Riku swears went in slow motion Xion arrived at the two boys and said, "What did you want to ask me Riku?"

"Oh... well um you see Xion I was kinda wondering if maybe you wanted to go see a movie with me? I understand if you're busy or don't want to..." Riku was going to continue before Xion's giggling cut him off.

"Sure Riku, I'd love to go see a movie with you." Xion had a beautiful smile on her face.

"Cool." Was all Riku could say.

"Well I had better get back to my friends bye Sora. See you later Riku." With that Xion walked back to her friends leaving a dumbfounded Riku with a stupid grin on his face.

"Well wasn't that great." The sound of Sora's voice snapped Riku out of it and reminded him why he went through all that.

"Now tell me this big secret that I had to risk public humiliation for." Riku was on the balls of his feet wondering what the amazing secret might be.

"Okay fine. Remember how I said my cousin was going to come with us?" asked Sora.

"Yeah," said Riku suspiciously as he wondered where this was going.

"Well he's loaded so he was going to pay for most of it," said Sora.

Riku sweat dropped, "You mean to tell me that you got me to ask Xion on out risking public humiliation, my pride and my manhood all for that?"

"Yep."

"I hate you Sora."

Well that's the end of chapter two. The next chapter will be when they start the trip...hopefully. School is going to start very soon so i don't know how often i will be able to update this story but i will still try to do it once a fortnight.

I would also like to make a special shout out to YourPreciousHeartless who has written my first ever review. Thanks for the positive feedback and i would love to receive more reviews from other people. I would especially love to get some constructive criticism on how to make it a better story.

Cheers guys
