A/N: Riku for the win

Here it is Saturday night and I'm standing here, probably looking like an idiot, a stood up idiot. I get a call from some girl named Xion, who is in fact in a year lower grade, she said she liked me, asked to meet me here. I showed up on time, so where is she? This better not be one of Seifer's jokes. If it is...

"Sorry I'm late, I had to pick up some stuff for my mom before she'd let me meet you here. Are you angry with me?"

I turned to her and it was Xion, and because she was wearing a V-neck black shirt that had sleeves that reach your elbows and cute little grey kaprees and black ankle boots, because she was actually cute and looked nice, I said no, I wasn't mad.

She smiles, "Oh, good. Okay, what movie do you want to see?"

I look at her, "Uh, not sure. You pick."

She fidgets lightly, "Oh, okay.."

She's so shy.. She reminds me of how Kairi used to be. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I pull it out and check the message. Well speak of the devil herself.

Message From: Kairi

Hey Riku! My parents are out, come over? ;D

Reply To: Kairi

Sorry, Kai, not today. I'm busy.

Message From: Kairi

What could possible keep u busy? U do nothing!

Reply To: Kairi

I'm on a date, leave me alone.

And after that I shut my phone off, not even bothering to see if she replied or not, and I know I mad her angry, and I'd probably pay for it in some way or another..

"Are you.. ready to go?" Xion asks, holding two tickets to a movie I didn't hear her pick.

I smile the best I could, "Yeah, all set."

She smiles, "Good, okay, um.. Follow me then, I guess.."

I could visibly see how shy this girl was, how much effort she's putting into keeping conversation with me. She is sweet though. I check my watch, only five-thirty.

"Hey when does this movie start?" I ask.

"On the board out there it said five-forty so I guess we're early.." she replies.

I nod, "Okay, that's fine. I'll be right back, I'll get us some food, what would you like?"

"Oh.. Uh.. Just uh.. Just popcorn will be fine.." she stammers, blushing lightly.

I nod and go back into the concessions stand and wait in line. To fill time I turned my phone back on. And sure enough, there was a message from Kairi.

On a date? With who? U can reschedule right?

I didn't even answer, I just turned my phone back off and got the large popcorn for Xion and I headed back into the theater.

Once the movie was over Xion and I were standing outside the theater, by our cars, and I ask, "You already have a car? How old are you?"

She blushes slightly, "Oh, I'm sixteen, just turned sixteen last week.."

I nod, "Good enough," then I smile, "Well, I had a really good time tonight."

She blushes a little more, "Yeah, me too."

She turns to get in her car and I catch her attention one last time, "Hey, I'd really like to do this again."

She blushes more than Kairi right then, but she nods, smiling shyly, "Me too, just, uh.." she scribbles on a paper and hands it to me then gets in her car, calling back as she pulls out, "Just text me and we'll set up another date..!"

I chuckle softly, Poor girl said date like it was a time bomb. I got in my car and turned my phone back on. Five messages.

From: Sora:

Hey, man! Whatcha doin? :)

Reply To: Sora:

Nothing. Just got done with a date actually.

From: Mom:

When you get home there's pizza in the fridge. I won't be home, late night office call, Susan didn't show up.

Reply To: Mom:

Kay thanks, drive safe, come back safe really, now. :/

From: Kairi:

No reschedule?

Come on Riku who's the girl?

Who r u dating now? Whats her name? Talk to me Riku.

Reply To: Kairi:

No reschedule. I went out with Xion, and you better leave her alone.

I sigh and start the car, Should have known Kairi would be like this. I drove home in silence, well I had the radio on, but that doesn't really count anyway. I sang along quietly to some Linkin Park song I don't remember the name of.

The ride home was short and I pulled the car into the driveway, and as I suspected, Mom's car wasn't there, so I parked and locked up and went inside. Once inside I sigh and pull my shirt off, I'm tired. Too much drama going around me.

I laugh light at myself and drop my shirt on the couch and I head into the kitchen where a box of my favorite pizza is waiting and I open it. Not a slice missing. Mom hates my pizza.

I smile, "Thanks."

I grab the entire box and settle on the couch and turn the TV on. My cell phone was ringing so I picked it up and answered, "Hello?" as I stuffed a piece of pizza into my mouth.

"Riku."

Kairi. I sigh, "Yes?"

"Why did you diss me for new girl?"

That settles it. She's pissed.

"She asked me to see a movie with her, I had no plans then, so I said yes, and you know what, Kairi? I had a great time." I reply, kind of angry myself, because of her sudden anger against me and or Xion.

She huffs, "I'm sure you did, but you shouldn't have dissed me, Riku. I thought you liked me.."

Is she crying?

"Kairi?" I ask, "Hey, are you all right?"

"I forbid you to see her!" she growls.

I frown, "You...forbid me? You can't be serious...!"

Suddenly I was filled with anger, "Kairi, you don't own me!"

I hung up right then and there. Kairi and I really need to have a serious talk, because, God help her if she thinks she owns me..
