A/n And this popped into my head while I was breaking my back at Rio Reforestation. This one has a TWEEST!
Disclaimer: Riku? (looks around) Nope. Nevaeh? (Talitha Koum hugging a struggling Nevaeh) Nope.

Lesson Three: Friends Always Tell the Truth
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Riku...?"
"Yes Heaven?"
"Do you know where my hair tie went?" Nevaeh inquired, as her usually bound hair was now flowing freely over her shoulders and fell down her back in ivory waves. "I can't find it anywhere."
"Maybe you misplaced it." Riku replied, reading a book via moonlight on top of the ledge of Merlin's roof.
"Me? Misplace something? HA!" Nevaeh laughed haughtily, throwing her head back to the stars. "Mr. Riku, you're too much."
"It could happen."
"But I know it didn't."
"Did you ask everyone? Maybe Kairi has it." Riku replied, nonchalantly turning a page.
"I have interrogated Miss Kairi, Mr. Sora, the strangely-shaped talking animalia (aka King Mickey, Donald, and Goofy), Mr. Cid, Mr. Axel, Miss Aerith, Miss Yuffie, Miss Tifa, Mr. Leon, Mr. Cloud, and some strange-looking silver-haired fellow with one wing and a masamune. None have seen it."
"Then you probably lost it."
"I still haven't questioned you, Mr. Riku." Nevaeh rounded on Riku, eyes ignited in flames; a hint at something dreadful. "Did you take my hair tie?"
Riku's face was expressionless. "And what, pray tell, would I need a hair tie for?"
"...Mr. Riku, your hair is quite the envy of all the women...I wouldn't be surprised if you spent time fawning over it yourself..." Nevaeh commented, eyeing Riku's silvery locks mischievously while Riku glared at her.
"Ha ha...but no."
"Mr. Riku...why do I get the feeling you're not telling me the truth?"
"I dunno..." Riku folded the corner of his book and set it down, looking up at Nevaeh. "And I don't have it."
"I still don't think you're telling me the truth...besides, my instincts are never wrong Mr. Riku!" Nevaeh exclaimed as she took a seat beside the silver-haired boy and stared him down. Unfortunately, this failed to get a reaction.
"I don't have your hair tie Heaven."
"Mr. Riku!" Nevaeh yelled in frustration. "Don't friends always tell the truth to friends?"
"I am telling the truth." Riku said simply, backing up a little to distance himself from his potential cause of death.
"Don't lie to me." Nevaeh said dangerously, but her golden eyes were amused, ready to pounce on him if he slipped up.
Predatory orange met brilliant aquamarine.
"I didn't take your hair tie."
Nevaeh scanned her eyes over him once more, before sighing.
"I suppose..." Nevaeh said carefully. "You're telling the truth."
"...How 'bout I help you look for it?" Riku offered, standing up and holding out a hand. She scowled and got up by herself.
"Fine, but I don't know how much help you'll be Mr. Riku."
"I'll find it; don't worry." Riku said as he jumped off the roof, landing perfectly on his feet. He walked off, but not before fingering a plain black hair tie in his pocket.

A/n Okay, yeah, I know, short. But it hit me over the head and I had to type it before I black out from a concussion. But this was fun. Don't forget to review!
