Subject: Wha-wha-WHATTT?

Nami, m'dear.
Today was the /wackiest/ day of my entire LIFE. And this includes that day that Axel and Reno made out on the beach. I shall begin to give you a full report. -clears throat- As soon as I have replied to all of your pondering.

TaKe! DoWn sounds flipping GENIUS to me. I personally believe number 2 and 4 are at the upmost of urgencies at the moment. Zack is an idiot who should have his motorcycle liscence revoked! And you won't have to sleep under my bed... you can have my bed! XD Your 'rents can sleep in the guest room... and Cloud can sleep in Tifa's room ;D ;D ;D

And I really, truly believe... that this dude likes you. XD TAKE A PICTURE OF HIM. I WANT TO SEE WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE. -flails- AND HE BLOWS IN YOUR EAR? Dude. DUUUUDE. Definite giveaway. Right there.
What's his last name? Wait, what's his REAL name? -plots to Facebook him- Your babies will have silver-hair! :D~ How cute.
-flees-

So. Onward with daily occurences. And yes. You are included.
It was lunchtime. I got to our table first with my food and sat down. I was just about to start eating when somebody bumps against the table, sending my tray over the edge of the table and onto my lap.
"What the--" I started, but a very disgusting image intruded into my mind. Selphie was leaning so far over the table I thought her spine was going to break. Wakka had his hand under her shirt and moving up. They were making out... and not the little tongue-stroking kind. Full-blown making out, slobber everywhere, making disgusting noises. If you thought Axel and Reno scarred you for life, think again.
"Kairi, your food is--" I heard Sora say behind me, but I guess then he noticed what was happening on our table.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," I said in a very small voice.
"Look away, just look away," Sora said, and he turned my head in a different direction.
We remained ignoring the current situation until Tidus came to save the day.
"Wakka! Selphie!" he yelled, his face in utter disgust. "What the hell! Some of us want to eat! Go in the bathroom and continue what you were doing!"
It's a good thing looks can't kill, because Tidus would've been brutally murdered. Selphie and Wakka skulked off.
"And I thought the school chili was nasty," said Roxas, who'd just come to join our table.
Yuck. Yuck yuck YUCK!
And my food had spilled a little on my lap. Sora got me a wet napkin and luckily, nothing stained.
"How's Namine doing?" Roxas asked me.
"Is she coming up here for the beach trip?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, about that..." Tidus started. "Zack told Tifa to tell Yuffie to tell me to tell you guys that there's been a slight change of plans."
"Whaddya mean?"
"It's going to be blazing hot tomorrow, so he moved--"
"Are you serious?!" I yelled. Tidus looked at me, alarmed. "He moved it up?! He knew I was trying to arrange it so Namine could come with us! He knew that!" My voice broke and I quickly stopped talking.
Tidus reached out and touched my hand.
"Look, Kai, we know that you miss her, and you can still be friends with her, but you're going to have to accept sooner or later that Namine can't always come with us on everything anymore."
I jerked my hand away and stood up violently, knocking my chair over. Then I ran out of the side entrance and into the courtyard. I folded my arms as I heard the door open again after me. There were running footsteps, but they quickly slowed to a walk and stopped.
"Kairi?"
It was Sora, of course.
"What?" I said frostily. Tears were starting to swarm in my eyes and making my vision blurry.
"C'mere..." He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. I hugged him and started crying. He put his arms around me and held me as I sobbed into his chest.
After a while, my bodily fluids started to run low, and I finally stopped crying.
"Feel better now?" Sora said softly. I nodded and let go of him. I rubbed my eyes and attempted to smile.
"Bleh, I bet I look awful."
"Not at all," Sora smiled. Then he saw how I looked at him and his face got red. "I mean--! It's just-- you look fine, you look fine!"
I laughed at him.
"Let's go inside," I said. "I'm starving." My stomach grumbled, as if to give emphasis to my words.
"Y-yeah, let's."
Sora meekly followed me inside and started to scarf down his food once we sat down. Tidus and Roxas gave him a questioning look.
"Sora, why is your face so red?" Tidus asked.
"HAWWWWWT!" Sora exclaimed, pointing to his burger that was overloaded with hot sauce.

So. You are right about Sora liking me. ;~; It's confuzzling me. Now that I see you're right... I've noticed that he /does/ look at me a lot. XDD Oh god. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!

So tomorrow, we're having that beach trip. Which should be total... fun. I guess. How am I supposed to keep Tifa and Zack apart?! GIVE ME TIPS, WOMAN. An overnight trip to the island is just too risky! DX Oh dear oh dear. And what am I supposed to do about Sora... what if I don't like him? How do I know if I like him?! AHHHHH! Save me! -runs and flails about-

ILY.

Subject: Re: Wha-wha-WHATTT?

Kairi, darling, I knew Axel and Roxas were extremely queer for each other. Like, I knew it from the bottom of my BEING. And your lovely little comment made my day. Oh yes it did.

...Fine, you won. I attached a picturre of what he looks like in this email. AND BE GRATEFUL BECAUSE I HAD TO STALK HIM AT TRACK PRACTICE TO GET IT. Old Man's real name is Riku.......something. I don't know his last name; people just seem to either call him "Riku", "Hey Man", or "Hottie". The last one I will never understand. At all. And just because he blows in my ear doesn't mean he likes me. I mean, hell-oh, Cloud blows in my ear to annoy me. It's just a way to aggravate me. Also, Kairi, if you ever mention silver haired babies again, I will personally hitch-hike to Morrowind to kick your ass. But I still love you, of course. :]

Ohmygod, Kairi, I'm so sorry baby. D: I'm going to see if Cloud will drive me in next weekend. I promise I'll see you soon--promise. As for Tidus, he was being a jerk, but he had a point. I won't be there to do everything with you guys, but Zack didn't have to up the date of the beach trip; that was an asshole move. However, at least you FINALLY realize that Sora likes you. Good grief, girlie, it surely took you long enough. I knew he liked you in third grade when he offered to lend you his sneakers when you forgot your's in gym. NO ONE borrowed Sora's lucky sneakers. No onnne.

As for my day, well, it was pretty monotonous. However, some kid named Seifer was hitting on me, according to Olette. The interesting thing? OM came to my rescue....kinda. Hence this story:

I was sitting there, minding my own business in class, doodling inside my art pad. I must say I looked quite smashing. It was picture day, and I wore my black jeans and that white cashmere sweater you bought for me last christmas. And I even went as far as to put a HAIRCLIP in my hair. Cute, right? So, I was sitting there and this tall, blonde guy walks up to me and sits down at our table. I mean, one could call him 'cute', but the faces that Pence, Hayner, and Olette were shooting him told me that he was someone I shouldn't talk to.

"Hey cutie," he finally said, breaking the tense silence at our table. I blinked and glanced over at him, offering a small smile.

"Hello," I replied nicely, trying to be civil. I mean, he hadn't done anything to me--why should I be mean? He then snaked his arm around my shoulders, and I squirmed. Okay, so he wasn't nice anymore. Hayner and Olette started to yell at him, but the guy simply ignored it.

"I'm Seifer. And what is your name, beautiful?" he smiled over at me, and a shuttered, trying to pull away from him.

"Just let me go, plea--"
"Hey Seifer. Let her be," a new voice tang out, and I turned my head to look over at my savior. Okay, so it was Old Man. Maybe not my knight in shining armour, but a knight in tin foil; it worked for me. Sneering a bit, Seifer removed his arm and walked off, leaving me and Old Man there in silence. He smirked at bit before winking and replying: "You owe me."

I deadpanned and watched him saunter off, blood boiling underneath my skin. What the HELL. Kairi, I swear, I hate him.

AS FOR YOUR BEACH TRIP. Flirt. with. Zack. You're cute, and everyone loves a redhead. He'll stop hanging with Tifa, Tifa will get angry, and then she'll run into Cloud's arms.

To my darling Nami,

Currently, I'm packing for tomorrow. Blegh... I'm really nervous. XD I feel like something's gonna happen. Like... not something bad. Something'll just change.
-shaves Zack's head bald for jerk-o move-

Dude. Is Roxas like. Bisexual then? Because he likes/liked you, yet he goes around with Axel and does God-knows-what... -shivers at thought- EW EW EW. -flails- NEW TOPIC.

And. ZOHMYEFFINGOD. That dude... is SO. GORGEOUS. HOT. SEXY BEAST. -drools over keyboard- WHY WON'T YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?! I feel it. I feel it in my olllldd bonessss. He likes you. He /has/ to! Why else would he save you from creep-o?
Don't trust that dude. Don't ever go near him again! D: And of course you looked drop-dead gorgeous. Since when didn't you? :)

So you'll come soon? God, I can't wait. I really miss you, Namine. And I can't even imagine how much you miss Morrowind. At least I have friendly and familiar faces.
I completely forgot about that... oh my god, how old were we, eight?
Namine, do you really think Sora could like me?
I mean, I'm scared that as soon as I let him see who I really am, he'll run away. Fast. In a different direction. Towards Selphie. XD

Speaking of which... Wakka and Selphie are still going "strong." You know, no talk, all mouth and tongue and... saliva. It's naturally quite disturbing. Tidus has used his natural bluntness to sometimes stop them, but Sora and I don't dare to say anything. Sora because he's a naturally, lovable, goofy wimp, and me because I'm slightly afraid of Selphie's backstabbing ways. I'm afraid she knows a little too much about me than what I entrust her with...

Did you steal my green Rainbows?! XDDD I can't find them anywhere and I have this uncanny feeling you took them. But no fear! Brown Rainbows are here! -insert superhero theme-

FLIRT WITH ZACK?! Have you gone completely off of your rockers?! I'm like, 99.9% sure he does NOT find me attractive in any way other than attractive as dupe. WHY DID HE PICK US AS HIS VICTIMS? WHY?

I'm taking my laptop so I can give you an update every few hours. Hopefully I can hijack into somebody's interwebz on the island. :]

I love you! BYE!

Subject: .......I am mad at you

Kairi, darling, if you feel something is about to happen, it probably will. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF FEMALE INTUITION. I know we've spoken about this before, Kairi darling, but you always seem to distrust it. It knows you besssssst.

......If my Roxie-Foxie is bisexual, I might cry. Dammit, how am I suppose to feel if I decided to make a move, but know he could be cheating on me when he goes to the movies with friends? Oh dear, this situation is too much.

...............KAIRI, YOU HAVE BETRAYED OUR SISTERHOOD. WHOEVER I HATE, YOU HATE TOO, REMEMBER? Thinking that Old Man is sexy is defo going against our moral code. He doesn't like me, and I do not like him. Get it? Good? Good? Great. :D

Of course I'll come soon! Maybe for Spring Break. I'm pretty sure Cloud misses Zack as well. I seriously still don't understand how the two of them were best friends. My brother, bless his soul, is a kind spirit, which Zack is....not. Hence the pie smashing incident. Also, dearest, Sora will NOT run to Selphie, you understand? A, you are much prettier and smarter than Selphie and b, Sora isn't that stupid. I'm sure he'd know when he has a good person in front of him or not. So, I wouldn't worry that much. :3

.....That is so disgusting. Guys only like Selphie because she flaunts her non-existent chest and hips. I mean, hell, Axel has more hip that she does, and he's an eighteen year old male. Wakka just can't get any, so he settles for Selphie. I mean, hello, the guy went out with me. ....Although, Tidus once told me it was to make Roxas jealous. IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK.

-Whistles and glances at feet- WhatEVER are you talking about? ....OKAY, FINE. I DID IT. BUT THEY LOOKED SO CUTE WITH MY BROWN TRENCH COAT. -Flails- I'll mail them back to yoooou. I promise.

FLIRT WITH ZACK. Cloud's dating status DEPENDS on it. I depend on it! If Tifa realizes she loves Cloud, Cloud will drive in to see her, and I will beg for Cloud to take me, and then I can see you. UNDERSTAND MY LOGIC? ;D

And you better get Internet. My mom says I'm more glued to this laptop then before. Gee, mom, I WONDER WHY. -.- Anyways, work was hell? Old Man promptly....ignored me. Yes, you read correct. There was no liquid spilling, no tripping, and no making fun. Instead, he kept talking to this really pretty blonde girl who was uber tanned and toned. She looked like an airbrush model.

Blah, I have homework to attend to. Despite it being Friday, the 'rents insist I do it before going anywhere. Olette invited me to go listen to a local band called 'Way to Dawn'. Cheesy name, but I hope they have good music.

With love,

Nami.

Subject: ...:O -shield!-

Namiiiiiii! I am currently on the island, sitting in a dry spot with my laptop plugged into one of the two power outlets on this island. :D

I don't! -splutter- Not... always... XD Not usually, that is. I guess. I think. OKAY, YOU'RE RIGHT! -huff-
Is he bisexual? XDD He might be. Hopefully he's not just flat-out GAY, because that would make you.... well... -coughing fit- XDD

WHAT? WHAT?! How can I hate a sexy dude like that who likes my little Namine... :] -runs for the hills-
Zack and Cloud is like... the most unlikely friendship I've ever heard of. Cloud is calm, stoic and talks softly. Zack is outgoing, obnoxious and talks loudly. It's so... weird. XDD Remember how they became friends? Zack stole Cloud's PB&J and Cloud started crying because it was his special sandwich. Then Zack gave it back. Zack really looks after Cloud, doesn't he? (:

Well... we went on that oh-so-lovely beach trip this morning. -.- Tifa woke me up at six freakin' A.M. so I could tell her which sundress looked best on her… of course she didn't think about asking me last night. -.- So I got ready with the hour left remaining (yes… it took an hour for Tifa to be satisfied) when there was an extremely loud HOOOOOONK outside.

"There they are!" Tifa cried. Her white-and-lavender sundress twirled around, and for once in her life… it actually made her boobs look average sized. I'm a genius. She grabbed our beach bag.

"You know, Tifa… I don't feel so good. Maybe I should stay home." I sat down on my bed. She spun around and glared at me.

"I know what you're doing!" she snarled. I jumped backwards. "You're trying to get out of this because you're going to miss Namine. Well, you miss her either way, so you're coming with us, whether you like it or not."

I gave her my scariest glare as she grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the stairs. HOOOOOOONK.

She threw the door open, her smile without a doubt dazzling the whole van. I don't want to imagine how I looked on her arm… my scary glare had only worsened by the size of the full van.

A door opened and several limbs poured out.

"Hey Teef!" Zack hollered.

"Uhm… how are we gonna fit?" Tifa asked quizzically as Zack jumped out to help us. He was wearing big swim shorts (thank God…) and a loose, white t-shirt.

"Good-morning, starshine!" he greeted me with a malicious grin.

"I brought sharp barbeque knifes," I said in a monotone voice. "Knifes that can cut through fat, muscle and bone."

"She's grumpy," Tifa said quickly. Zack looked at me with wider eyes, tossed our bag in the back, and helped Tifa step in the van.

"It's a little full, so you'll have to sit on somebody's lap," he hinted as he disappeared in the van with a grin.

"Yeah!" I yelled. "Cuz I can totally get in all by myself without dismembering somebody's arm."

"Hey Kairi!" Sora yelled enthusiastically.

"Oh. Hey." I didn't mean for my comment to actually mean anything, but Sora looked eager enough to help me. Then again… he's always high off life, the freak.

He jumped out of the van and screeched to a stop when he saw me.

"You look…" he stammered, and his face turned red, "…uh… really cute."

Whistling came from inside the van.

"Shut up!" Sora yelled at his cronies.

I was wearing a green halter sundress with a second, longer layer that was white. I'd braided my hair into two short braids. Although I was sure my expression was far from cute, his comment made me smile.

"Thanks, Sora."

His face was still bright-red as he helped me in the van. He put his hands together so I could put my foot on them and get in the van correctly. He jumped in after me as I almost bumped my head looking around the van.

It was one of those vans that had the driver and passenger-seat up front and then a separate section for other passengers. There was only one large sliding-door. The seats came almost in a full circle, if it weren't for the door… The circle was Squall with Aerith on his lap (it was really really cute…), Zack with Tifa on his lap (she looked too freaking happy…), Yuffie, Wakka with Selphie on his lap (ew, but thank God they weren't kissing), Tidus, Roxas, and one empty seat where I assumed Sora had been sitting. I'd started to wonder who'd take me on their lap when I realized two people were missing. So I looked at the driver and passenger seat… and screamed in horror.

"WHO THE HELL DECIDED IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO LET AXEL DRIVE?!"

Axel turned around and grinned at me. Reno, sitting next to him, stuck his tongue out at me and his thumb.

"Axel is actually not bad a driver," Wakka commented.

"'Not bad' my ass…" I muttered.

"Did you mean that literally?" Axel asked, his face feigning innocence.

"Oh, hell, it's ON--!" My hand flew to my foot and I'd just grabbed my flip-flop when Axel decided to back up out of our drive-way as fast as he could… causing me to fall unceremoniously on Tidus' lap.

"HOLY HELL!" Zack hollered. Everyone clung to their seats for dear life as Sora quickly shut the door. Axel took no note of anything and sped on.

Apparently I was the only one who took concern with Axel's insane driving… because Zack kissed Tifa's neck once as he put the seatbelt around both of them. I got disgusted and looked away.

"Psst," Tidus whispered in my ear.

"What?" I hissed back. "Do you want me to get up? Sorry if I'm too heavy for you."

"You're not too heavy for me and you don't have to get up. I just think you should sit elsewhere."

"What?"

"Look at Sora's face."

I did, and he looked strangely sad as he stared at the floor of the van. He was the only one not talking.

"You know… he's been head over heels for you his whole life."

-pauses story so Namine can rejoice in victory-

"What?" I said blankly.

"Shh!" Tidus hissed. "You're hopeless if you didn't notice anything."

"Thanks for the compliment," I snapped.

"Anytime."

Louder he said, "Dangit… my seatbelt looks broken…"

"You suck, Tidus." I looked at Sora. "Sora, does your seatbelt work…?"

He looked at me, surprised.

"Uh... yeah… yeah it does…"

I stood up, wobbling because the van was very unstable, especially with the red-haired maniacs behind the wheel. (…That makes it sound like I'm a maniac too. XD) Sora grabbed my elbow, gently but firmly, so I wouldn't fall.

"Careful," he said, his lips curling up in a grin. I made a face at him. He shifted his legs and put his feet apart. I turned around and quickly sat down so my butt wouldn't be wagging around in his face. He took his seatbelt and put it around us, carefully clicking it into place. I sat leaning forwards for a few minutes. I was silently freaking out, Nami. Did I want this to continue? Or did I want things the same as they'd been before? The answer to question 2 was hell no. With you it would have been good, but without you… the past month had been miserable.

So I leaned backwards gently until I hit his chest. He took a sharp intake of breath, jerking me along with him. Then he exhaled slowly. My body went along with him as he breathed in and breathed out, creating a peaceful rhythm. Tidus watched us from the corner of his eye before turning to Wakka and start talking about some stupid blitzball game. Aerith was happily talking in her quiet voice to Squall, who seemed amused. Zack was resting his chin on Tifa's shoulder, staring at her face in this dreamy way. My mind traveled to a memory that was eight years old, us being seven, the older kids eight, Reno and Axel nine. Who would've thought of this situation here? Certainly not I.

I recognized the Rock Path as we hit rockier terrain. Several minutes later, Axel made a very messy park. Aerith, Squall, Yuffie, Selphie, Wakka, Tidus and Roxas all started to pile out. I fumbled a while for the seatbelt release button.

"Sorry," I stammered.

"Don't be," Sora said.

I finally found the damned button and we got out of the van. Which, I must add, stood crookedly on the middle of two parking spots.

"You call this a park?!" I yelled at Axel. "The white lines mark separate spots, dumbass!"

"Not my problem," Axel called over his shoulder, leading the way towards the boats. I stood by the van for a few seconds, fuming at his casual response.

"C'mon, Kairi," Sora laughed. "Don't let Axel get you mad."

I sighed. "You're right."

"Aren't I always?"

He ducked laughing as I swung my arm in his direction.

"They're gonna leave for the island without us if we don't hurry," Sora said.

"Come on, then!" I grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the docks. Luckily, Squall was merciful (unlike Zack, who was trying to push off the boat so we'd have to jump on the boat and hopefully fall in the water), and let us get on. By the look of Axel's scowl, I think he was planning on dunking me underwater.

After we'd tied up the boats by the docks on the island, we clambered out and started to set up camp. There were two other skulky teenagers, but I'm pretty sure a collaborated effort of Zack and Axel scared them back to mainland. After that, we had the whole island to ourselves.

"Uh-oh…" Tifa said, releasing Zack's hand.

"What?" I snarled, a little peeved by the sight of them holding hands.

"I accidentally left our tent at home."

Dear God. Something in her innocent voice and large eyes made me think she hadn't "accidentally" left it home at all.

I secretly looked at her hand; she was still wearing her abstinence ring.

"Where am I supposed to sleep then?"

"With Selphie?"

I gagged loudly.

"Can't I sleep with Aerith?" I hissed.

"Didn't know you were into lesbianism, Kai," Zack joked.

"Go underwater and walk to mainland," I snapped.

"She's sharing a tent with Yuffie, though," Tifa pointed out.

Selphie started to walk in our direction, so we shut up.

"What's wrong, Kairi?" she said in that annoying, nasal voice of hers.

"Nothing," I said, trying to smile at her, but I felt it twist into a grimace. "Tifa just forgot our tent."

"Ohhh," she said. Then she giggled. "You can share /my/ tent, Kai. We can talk all night long."

SHNIKEMSHTICKEMPLUR.

"Sounds fun," I grinned.

I then helped her set up her tent. She was blabbering to me about her and Wakka… like I cared.

By the time everybody had camp set up, it was 10:30 A.M.

...I HAVE TO GO. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TAKE MY BENCH AND ITS DANGEROUS TO TYPE NOW.

TO BE CONTINUED.

DUN DUN DUNNN.

LOVE YOU.

KNEW.

IT.

Hahahaahahaha! Tidus has just HAPPILY fufilled my life-long dream. I KNEW Sora has loved you ever since, well, EVER. But no, don't ever listen to little Namine because she never knows WHAT THE HELL SHE IS TALKING ABOUT. -Deep breath- But Kairi, ohmygosh, I can't believe this! -Squeals in excitement- You actually sat on his lap! Ohmygosh, I bet he was the color of a tomato or worse. And Axel probably set the entire thing up and AND AND AND AND--

Kairi, I can not begin to express my joy. OHMYGOD, KAIRIANDSORASITTINGINATREE, KISSINGLALALAA -Falls over-

......EW. Gross. Selphie and you in a tent. Ewwwww. She BETTER NOT BE TAKING OVER AS 'BEST FRIEND'. Kidding, doll, kidding. I hope your evening went a lot better than mine. First of all, operation TaKe!DoWn has met a few problems.

1, Old Man/Riku is very sexy when singing in a band. Yes, you heard me. I called him sexy, but he's still a JERK. Anyways, this was basically my second time encountering him today. Not fun. I will begin to explain this topic in further detail:

"Nami, you look amazing," Olette said in a breathy tone, just having walked up the five thousand flights of stairs to reach our apartment. She was dressed in a cute khaki miniskirt, black halter top, and darling kitten heels. Her usual brown, wavy locks were pulled into a high ponytail with a few messy strands in her face. Classy, without the trashy as you would say. Offering her a weak smile, I glanced down at my own striped black and grey sweater dress and nervously adjusted the belt around my waist, "Think so?"

"Know so," Hayner interjected, slinging an arm around Olette, which caused the brunette girl to blush deeply. He had previously asked her out that day, but Olette was still a little bit shy around him when it came to PDA. Pence was standing behind the couple, munching contently on some BBQ chips and waiting impatiently for me to walk out of my apartment. With a sigh, I locked the door and tossed my hair to my back.

Yes, Kairi, I actually wore my hair DOWN and not brushed onto my shoulder. Be happy for once.

All four of us piled into Pence's car, me being in the front and Olette and Hayner having the back to themselves. Pence and I tried to make conversation and ignore the moaning and sucking noises coming from the backseat. It was basically disgusting, but not nearly as bad as watching Selphie and her manwhores suck face. After a rather silent drive--from Pence and I--we pulled up into the coffee shop and unloaded ourselves from the car. Once inside, I ordered a mocha latte--yum--and boredly counted how many couples were in the room. Closing my eyes, I leaned my head against the booth cushion and started to fall asleep. Maybe a good twenty minutes later, my ears picked up someone announcing the band, and suddenly a soft, velety tone caressed my ears. I didn't even want to open my eyes as soft cords of bass guitar mixed in with the heavenly voice, but they slowly cracked wide as Pence jabbed me with his elbow and hissed, "Sleeping is rude."

Hah, never thought that 'lil Rolly-Polly was a prude. Whatever. I slowly dragged my vision over to the stage and felt my jaw drop to the ground.

Old.

Man.

Was.

The.

One.

With.

The.

Sexy.

Voice.

And.

Mad.

Guitar.

Skills.

Needlessly put, I couldn't stop gawking for the rest of the night. And when he caught glimpse that I was there afterwards, he smirked and made an effort to embarrass me and my expression. I WAS NOT OGLING HIM, DAMMIT.

....Okay, maybe a bit. BUT I STILL HATE HIM. Moving on.

2, I think Cloud is falling for some chick he met last week. I neglected to tell you because I didn't think she was a big threat until I saw them making out in the parking lot of our apartment when I came home tonight. And, uh, it was pretty gross. AND CLOUD HAD SOME FREAKISH GROWTH SPURT I FORGOT TO MENTION. Like, he's maybe around 5'10 now. ....In, what, two months? Or something ridiculous like that. Anyways, this chick is one of those really spirited people that you hate to love and she's super pretty, too. Actually, she realllly reminds me of Tifa, minus her rack and backside. Her name is Riona Heartilly and, apparently, they both are into playing acoustic guitar and writing song lyrics, although I'm positive her's are much happier than his. Haha, speaking of emo lyrics, I wrote Cloud one and told him he should compose a tune. It went like this:

Am I not emo enough?

Are my wrist not open?

Do I cry too much?

I am not outspokeeeeeen.

I will never laugh.

I won't try it harder.

Why am I so emoooo?

I bleed, I steal, all of my sister's eyeliner--

I write, poetry, about her best friend's sister--

And yeah. He basically shot me when he saw that. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, KAIRI. We worried about Tifa so much that we forgot that Cloud has a penis and is kind of attractive. -Flails-
