A Vacation To Remember
So how did everyone like my cliff hanger?
Ok so it was pretty obvious but mwhahaha
I tried
Well on to the story!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own KH
CLAIMER: I do own Rose
As for your question Absie- You shall see, maybe this chapter. But probably not, it shall be soon though
Did You Forget?
"Sora! It is you!" The girl ran up to him, wrapping her arms around his stomach. "Oh my gosh Sora I've missed you so much!"
"Selphie, your choking me!" Sora gagged, his lack of breath barely allowing him to breath.
"Oh I'm sorry. I kind of got carried away." She released him from his bear hug and stepped back allowing Sora some breathing room. "So do you want to walk?"
"Walk? It's almost dark out." Sora looked at her strangely, That was kind of sudden…
"Oh come on you sissy, we have a lot to catch up on." Selphie grinned; she knew that he couldn't refuse.
"Nine years worth of stuff to catch up on." Sora added before standing beside Selphie, "That's a lot of talking."
"This is why we must walk." She insisted, starting to head back the way she had come from, "Now come on now don't lag behind."

"You look pretty when you sleep." Roxas whispered through the crack in his sister's door. He watched as his sister laid there, her auburn hair now messy. Her hands rested under the side of her face and her body was turned towards him. For a brief moment, he imagined his little sister Rose lying right where Kairi was.
Flashback
"Bubby, why do the angels not watch over us why we sleep?" Rose asked at the breakfast table
"The angels always watch over us." He replied, not really taking her question seriously.
"My angel doesn't. I acted like I was sleeping and then looked for her. She wasn't there, I guess it's cause I'm not pretty when I sleep." Rose played with her cereal some more, letting the cheerios float around the milk. A look of disappointment clearly adorned her tiny face.
"You're beautiful when you sleep Rose." Roxas said, messing up his sisters bright pink hair, "Your angel will always protect you."
END OF FLASHBACK
Roxas continued to look at his sister as she laid there. "Watch over her angel." He whispered before shutting her door, "Watch over my sister."
-----
Selphie and Sora continued to walk; they had been for about an hour. They exchanged stories about people they knew, well most of the people they knew. He had been avoiding the topic of one person; he knew it would come up sooner or later.
"So you haven't had a boyfriend here? That surprises me." He said, grinning.
"Sora, I could never." She said, rather shocked at the statement.
"Why not?" He asked, rather confused.
"Because…I…I…." She bent her head down to look at the ground as the continued to walk, "I couldn't forget about him."
"You mean Tidus?"
"Yeah, Tidus."
Sora laughed, "Remember when we used to play house at the little hut we made by the beach?"
FLASHBACK
"Let's play house!" The little girl suggested. There were three of them there, they all sat in the sand, drawing pictures with little twigs from trees.
"Only if he's your husband!" A little brown haired boy said, pointing at a blonde kid that sat next to him.
"Ew, that's nasty! Why do I have to be?" The blonde haired kid objected.
"Because you like her." The brunette said, sticking out his tongue. "Can I be a teenager if we play house?"
"Of course you can. Now come on sweetie we have to make the house!" The little girl said, grabbing the blonde's hand. The boy's face turned cherry colored as she pulled him along. "Why don't you want Sora as your husband?"
A small giggle could be heard, "I love you!" she said, letting go of the boy's hand, "Not Sora silly. Now come on!" She ran up the beach towards the little hut the three had made.
"I love you too Selphie!" He yelled, following close behind her. "We should stay married forever Selphie. That would be fun!"
"Of course we can stay married forever now hurry up!" She stopped in front of a little brown hut, big enough for about 4 people. "I'll hang my jump-rope here!" She placed a small yellow/orange jump-rope onto a tiny hook and sat down. "Now what do people do when they're married?"
END FLASHBACK
They both walked in silence, Selphie still had her head bent down towards the ground.
"Yeah I remember." She finally whispered, breaking the awkward moment.
"Those were some pretty good times, I remember when you told Tidus you loved him. He was so shocked, I was about to break over laughing. I mean, we were only 5. I thought you still had cooties." He looked over at Selphie, giving her one of his goofy grins.
"Has he had a…you know… girlfriend?" Selphie asked.
"Well…uh…. there were rumors but…."
"Rumors? About what?"
"That he had a girlfriend…"
"Who were they about?"
"Tidus…"
"No I meant the girl."
"I didn't know her. She was from the other side of the island, I think her name was Yuna."
Selphie looked up and started laughing, "Th...th…that's h…his…c...cousin!" She finally managed to let out between all the laughs, snorts, stutters, and giggles.
"He never told me that!" Sora whined, placing his hands on his hips, "Why golly gosh you think he would've told me!" He let on another one of his cheesy grins, "After all I was his best friend."
"Well this is my stop." Selphie said, looking up at the big house.
If big house could even describe it, it was a mansion! It looked like it had to be at least 3 to 4 stories tall with windows lining the entire thing. Towards the two middle stories was one big glass window with a large lit of chandelier centered in the middle of the building. It's front was blocked by many large white columns which were about as round as a large tree.
Sora merely ignored the size of the house, though Selphie new he wouldn't be to much in awe. He had a house about the same size in Destiny Islands, maybe even a little bigger.
"Nice place, well I'll see you tomorrow or something."
"You can stay the night? Cloud still lives with us so you can just stay with him."
"What makes you think I want to stay with that wretched thing?" Sora smirked, "Besides it's almost 1 in the morning."
"Oh don't worry, my parents are still awake. Come on, I can't let you off that easy. We still have so much we have to catch up on." She said, making sure to emphasize the word 'so'. She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house, not giving him a chance to object.
"CLOUD!" Selphie screamed up a large staircase, "Sora's here!"
A bunch of loud banging sounds could be heard in multiple rooms from all around the house, her parents had obviously heard her also.
A blonde haired boy ran down the staircase, his hair stuck up in random directions, almost like Sora's but a little more contained, "Sora? Wow it is you!" Cloud came up to Sora, hugging him tightly, "Man I haven't seen you in ages. You got so big."
"Just to remind you Cloud, you're still bigger than me." Sora said between gasps for air, "And strong…er."
"Oh, heh, right." He let go of Sora, letting him some air to breath.
"Sora!" A blonde haired lady said, running up to him. "I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too Mrs. Larxene." She gave him a quick hug, and then let go of him, "So what brings you into Twilight Town? I know you parents would never move away from Destiny Islands."
"Vacation." A red haired man said, walking into the room, "Why else would his parents come here."
"You could at least say hi." Selphie muttered towards her dad, he could be rude sometimes.
"Hello Mr. Axel."
"How many times do I have to tell you, just call me Axel. The word Mr. makes me sound old."
"He was just trying to be polite. Goodness your grouchy, go get some sleep." Larxene ordered, pointing up the staircase.
Axel muttered a few indistinguishable words and headed up the stairs, "Nice to see you Sora."
"Same for you." Sora looked at the man as he walked up the stairs, the two never really got along very well.
There were a few moments of silence before anybody decided to speak again. It was rather strange, seeing someone you never thought you would see again, and then them being in your house.
"Well it's rather late out; I guess guys should get some rest. You can sleep in Cloud's room Sora. He has a futon in there."
"Night Mrs. Larxene/Mom/Mother." They all said, heading up to their rooms.
"I should probably call my mom." Sora said when he reached Cloud's room. "You got a phone?"
Cloud through the phone across the room to Sora, he still hadn't spoken a word
"Night Sora." The blonde boy finally spoke up. You could tell he was tired by how low his voice was.
Sora dialed the number, telling his parents he would be staying with an old friend. He layed down across the futon, pulling a blanket that layed on it over him, "Today has been a strange day."
-----
Sora was on the verge of falling asleep, his eyes drooped slowly beginning to shut, he was so close….
"Sora are you awake?" Selphie whispered from the hallway.
"A little." Sora said in a low voice, he was rather tired.
"Sora, I just had to know. Did you forget?"
"Forget what Selphie?"
"About me."
Silence once again filled the room, had he forgotten.
"It's not that I forgot Selph, its just..." Sora sat up, he was wide awake now, "It's… I could always remember you, remember what you looked like in all. But slowly, Tidus didn't like talking about you anymore. It brought him…pain." Sora's voice lowered.
FLASHBACK
"Hey this is Selphie's jump-rope!" Sora said happily, pulling a jump-rope out from under Tidus's bed.
Tidus looked at the jump-rope then quickly grabbed it from Sora, "Don't talk about her! She's not here anymore ok!" Hurt and anger clearly filled Tidus's voice.
"I'm sorry Tidus it's just…"
"Shut up!" He screamed, tears swelled up in the blonde boy's eyes, "Just shut up!" He stormed out of the room, making sure to slam the large door behind him.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Sora, are you ok?" Selphie asked, looking at the expression across Sora's face.
"He…he…wouldn't talk about you. He refused to. Every time someone even mentioned you he'd get angry, he'd get…depressed. So we all ended up losing your name. Even in memories when people would say your name, it was just like a blank spot in the memory. It's almost as if… he wanted us to forget… he wanted to forget. If that makes any sense to you."
"But in general, you didn't forget about ME…right?"
"No, I guess we didn't."
"That's all I needed to know." She said, shutting Cloud's door, "Night Sora."
"Night Selph."

Ok so I know the Roxas/Kairi sleeping part was a little strange but I'm SLOWLY revealing Rose to you…very very very slowly…
She won't be coming up for another few chapters or so though :)
Well make sure you keep reviewing… Ellie loves reviews.
The more reviews… the faster I make the next chapter
Oh and I'm sorry it's taking me so long to get up some of the chapters. It's just I've been trying to right some other fics but they all end up being crappy, weird, freaky, or they don't make sense. I'll try to put new chapters in more often because I'm going on vacation soon. Hope your enjoying the story though :)
