Hey guys I am really sorry to all of you because this chapter is extremely late. I could use excuses like school started and I was getting heaps of homework or something like that but then I'd be lying because even though I got lot's of homework I was never that busy. I am hoping i will have the next chapter up really soon to make it up to you guys for being lazy but I'm not going to make any promises just in case. Anyways enjoy the new chapter.

Disclaimer: I own absolutely positively nothing about this story except for the idea of going on a road trip. However I do wish I owned Kingdom Hearts.

3 years later. Sora and Roxas became bestfriends with Kairi and they all met up with each other whenever they could. Riku and Xion became a couple and have been dating ever since Sora set them up and still to this day Sora claims that he must be a love guru to start such a successful relationship. Sora, Roxas, Riku and Kairi had formed a band called 'Insert Band Name Here'. They became popular with their hit song 'Oblivion' which got in the Top 10 hits in multiple countries. The band earned the group lots of money and fans but all three boys decided they would rather live a regular life and although they stopped touring the worlds and writing new songs they performed every so often even though it was usually just a small gig at the local festivals and celebrations. Having earned plenty of money and finished school Sora and Roxas plan a going away part at Roxas' beach house on Destiny Islands to start them off on their self-proclaimed 'greatest road trip of all time'.

"Roxas, how long before everyone arrives?" Sora asked for the umpteenth time day. He was bored because the cousins were throwing themselves a little going away party at their beach house in destiny islands and they had finished setting up 4 hours before anyone was going to arrive.

"A couples hours before the party starts but Riku, Xion and Kairi will be here soon so just have another potion and relax." Roxas casually threw a potion to Sora and also grabbed one for himself. "I think Ventus said he was going to come by as well and possibly bring some more drinks."

"Cool that will mean we can have our own drinks stash. Actually you won't because you're still under age but I will." Sora taunted Roxas because while his 18th birthday was only a couple of weeks away he was still too young to drink legally unlike Sora whose 18th birthday had been a few months ago.

"Oh haha you really think that will stop me drinking?" asked Roxas.

"No, but it's still fun to tease you about it." Sora took a mouthful of his potion and looked around the beach house. He kept looking at everything they had set up until his gaze reached the small stage area they had made. "Still don't get too drunk because we still have to perform tonight."

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that, thanks. If anyone needs to watch how much they drink though it's you. I mean can't have you slurring your words and failing to play lead guitar."

Just then the doorbell rang and the two stared at each other having a silent battle over who would have to open the door. "Rock, paper, scissors?" challenged Sora.

"Ok best seven out of twelve," replied Roxas.

Sora was totally perplexed, "Why that number?" Sora's voice was filled with confusion.

"Why not?" countered Roxas.

"Ok let's go. Rock, paper, scissor!"

They were both equal with 4 games each and were about to play another game when they heard and very familiar albeit angry female voice. "You two better not be playing rock, paper, scissors to see who opens the door!"

"Shit. Now what do we do she is going to skin us alive," said Roxas.

"Don't worry cuz just leave is to me." With that Sora silently crept up to the door placed his hand on the door knob. Roxas thought he was about to open the door but instead he locked it then sprinted back into the lounge room where Roxas was and dived over the couch.

"What the hell kind of a plan was that! She's only going to be more pissed you idiot!" Roxas said in an angry whisper at Sora and by the look on his face you could tell he was stressed.

"Well you weren't doing anything and if we waited any longer she might have actually tried opening the door which would have had us both stuffed." Sora defended himself as best he could while still whispering.

"Yeah but now we have absolutely no way to save ourselves." Roxas was whispering very fast now and a sweat had broken out across his face.

"Oh yeah I didn't think about that." Soon Sora had the same worried look on his face and both Sora and Roxas jumped when they heard a third voice very clearly.

"Why are you two hiding behind the couch and whispering instead of opening the door?" When both boys looked up they saw a red headed girl standing and much to their surprise she was smiling. In fact she didn't even look slightly annoyed which only made the two boys even more fearful.

"Roxas, what do you think here plan is?" Sora kept is eyes on Kairi just to make sure that she didn't attack when he wasn't looking

"I don't know but the correct thing to do now is to back away and not let her out of your sights. I have a feeling that she will strike when our backs are turned." Roxas had the same wary look on his face that Sora had.

"Umm you guys know that I can hear you, right?" Kairi had a confused look on her face as if she didn't understand why they were acting the way they were.

"Oh sorry Kairi we were just joking around. We thought you were mad because we didn't open the door for you," said Sora with an apologetic grin.

"Yeah joking," Roxas laughed nervously until Sora elbowed him in the gut.

"I couldn't be mad at you two yet. We haven't seen each other for months so come on give me a hug," said Kairi as she spread her arms out wide to hug the two boys. They all moved in to have a group hug and as Kairi's arms circled around the two boys they realised the grave mistake they had made.

"WAIT KAIRI NO!"

"KAIRI IT WAS ALL SORA'S FAULT. PLEASE DON'T PUNISH ME!"

Both boys were screaming because Kairi's arms had trapped them and her hands had grabbed the waistbands of their underwear.

"Please Kairi please don't do this," begged Sora.

Kairi's grip on their underwear tightened, "Maybe next time you'll actually open the door instead of locking it and forcing me to go round the back."

"So that's how she got in the house."

"Sora this really isn't the time to be amazed by obvious facts."

"Come on, you can't actually have known the whole time she snuck round the back to get in the house."

"Well how else was she supposed to get in."

"I don't know she might have been so angry that she was able to break the lock with her bare hands or maybe she has ghost powers and walked right through the door. That would explain why she was able to sneak up on us."

"What the hell is wrong with aghhhhhh" At that moment Kairi became tired of their bickering and gave them both the mother of all wedgies. This was such a big wedgie that the waistbands of their underwear were halfway up their backs and both boys were wondering how Kairi could be so strong.

Kairi let go of Sora and Roxas' underwear and they both let out a sigh of relief. "Now maybe next time you two idiots will actually open the door for me instead of playing rock, paper, scissors," after waiting for the two 'idiots' to apologize to her for not opening the door Kairi continued, "Great now that that's settled where can I get a drink? I'm dying of thirst."

"In the kitchen, it's just through there." Sora pointed in the direction of the kitchen and waited until Kairi was out of earshot before turning to Roxas, "do we really want to bring her along?"

Roxas paused for a moment before answering the question, "I'm not sure. Maybe if we leave early enough tomorrow we can leave her behind and save our ass's…literally." All of a sudden an angry sounding voice came from the kitchen.

"What?! Did I just hear what I think I heard?" the tone of Kairi's voice was enough to make Sora jump.

"Umm it depends. What do you think you heard?" Sora sounded extremely nervous.

"I thought that I heard you two talking about leaving me behind" Kairi still sounded angry.

"I don't know why you think you heard that because Roxas and I were just saying how much we missed you and stuff." Sora spoke quickly only making it more obvious he was lying.

"Aww I missed you guys too," Kairi came out of the kitchen with a drink in hand and she was smiling, "I especially miss messing with you guys." The look on Kairi's face told the boys that she was never really mad and had been messing with them the whole time. Both Sora and Roxas just about passed out from relief.

Riku and Xion arrived just after Kairi did and all the old friends had a quick catch up before the party started. All the guests had arrived at 9:00pm and the party was going full blast by 10:00pm.

11:30pm

"Hey everyone how are you enjoying the party?" Sora's voice rang throughout the house thanks to all the speakers that were hooked up to the microphone that he was speaking through. After waiting for the drunken roar that sounded something like 'yes' and 'hell yes' mixed together. "Good now I'm sure you all know that all the hosts of this party are also all the members of 'Insert Band Name Here', another drunken cheer, and what sort of hosts would we be if we didn't play at least one song for our closest and dearest friends. This time a deafening cheer erupted as Riku and Roxas walked onto the small makeshift stage and stood in their places next to their instruments.

"This is a song that I am going to dedicate to a very special girl. She is the coolest, funniest and most odd person I know and no matter where we are she somehow manages to be able to sing and dance without a care in the world. Of course I'm talking about my best friend Kairi."

The crowd of party goers went wild as Roxas started to play the drums and set the rhythm for the song. Sora picked up his electric guitar and started to slam down a riff while Kairi prepared to sing backup.

"She works for the weekend, mixed tape of her favourite bands, tearin' up the radio, lost in the stereo's sound."

Sora was strumming powerfully on his electric guitar as he serenaded the microphone with his voice, every now and then looking at Kairi and smiling as she started to move to the rhythm. On the third or fourth time that Sora looked at Kairi, she looked up and their eyes met. Kairi's face lit up into a massive smile and she started laughing while she danced and Sora guessed it was either because she was having lots of fun or because she was drunk, most likely both.

"She's dancing alone, I'm ready to go but she's so, Lost in stereo, lost in stereo, She's outta control, so beautiful, in stereo, lost in stereo."

At this stage everyone at the party had started dancing to the music, while cheering and shouting at the same time. Sora was extremely happy because there was something about playing music that can cause you not to have a care in the world. He felt like it didn't matter if he was the worst musician in the world, if he had fun and enjoyed himself when he played guitar or sang then everyone else would have fun and enjoy it as well.

"And I've been, Waiting, for so long, But she'll never know, I'm losing hope, 'Cause she's so, Lost in stereo, lost in stereo."

As the song finished, the beach house filled with a deafening roar from all the screams and cheers from drunken partygoers. Kairi ran onstage and gave Sora a huge hug before moving on to talk to the other band members. Sora was just about to go join his friends when he felt someone grab his wrist. When he turned around he saw his cousin, and Roxas' older brother, Ventus.

"Hey Ven, What do you want?" asked Sora.

"You need to come with me so we can show some losers how real men play potion pong." Ven's words were slurred which proved that he was drunk.

After a couple seconds thinking about just how much Ventus had had to drink Sora came to a decision, "Okay let's go. Show me where these losers are."

After a short walk to the back patio Sora saw a ping pong table which had been set up for a huge game of potion pong. It had massive triangles of cups set up on either side of the table and then just a couple cups placed sporadically around the table. At one end of the table Sora saw the two 'losers' who were actually some of Sora's friends from school named Tidus and Wakka.

"Hey you two girls ready to play?" Tidus challenged Ventus and Sora and before Sora could respond Ventus dragged him to the table. Once they were at the opposite end of the table Tidus began to explain the rules. The rules are first one to run out of potion loses. If both team members either pass out or spew they lose. The ball has to land in the cup with only one bounce and lastly the extra cups are filled with mega-potion for an extra challenge." Tidus then seemed to pull a ping pong ball out of thin air. "Let's play!"

I promise that actual trip will start soon maybe one more chapter before they start.

Ok now a more serious thing is that i would really appreciate it if you guys took the time to review this story. It doesn't have to be a massive review, it doesn't have to be a good review because some of you may not like the story. What I would like though is that if you don't like the story, can you please tell me why so i can try and fix that problem. Or if you have any advice about what i could do better or just what I'm doing wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys :)
