The Red Head's Room

I really liked this chapter for some reason. Hahaha.

Kairi's room was... kind of pink. Two of her walls were pink while the other two were white. Most of her furniture was pink, white, or gold. Her room was actually pretty big, not as big as Namine's but she didn't expect to see many other people with rooms the size of hers. Kairi's bed was in one corner near a large window. Above her bed was ribbons hanging down with little yellow, star-shaped fruit. They hung right about the head-board that was mainly white with some gold accents here and there. The blankets and sheets on her bed were different shades of pink and white while she had one small yellow star-shaped fruit pillow in the center. Her dresser was near the door, each handle on it was a little golden crown. The dresser was also white with some gold accents here and there, like on the head-board of the bed. She had a large hazel colored bookshelf lined with many books and some little toys and other things. On the same wall as the dresser was small closet with two doors. Namine was amazed at how simple the room was but how complexed it looked.

Kairi went straight to the closet and began fishing out as many fancy dresses as she could. Hmm... She's pale.... so maybe something like light pink or light blue. Do I have anything white? She was thinking as she sifted through her closet some more. While Kairi was doing this, Namine was staring off at all the books the red head had. She noticed that there was a very small plush in the shape of a star, just like all the other ones in her room. "Do you really like these star-shaped.... thingies?" Was the only thing that could leave the blond's mouth.

She jutted her head out of the closet to see what Namine was talking about. "Wha?" She glanced at the star. "...Oh! Those! They're call Paopu Fruits. They actually are really good. Sora's given me a couple..." Her voice trailed off as she was back in the closet searching for dresses.

Namine continued to study the bookshelf reading over some of the title like Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, plus she noticed some books on princesses. She had always wanted to read some of these stories but she never could. She traced her fingers over the gold lettering on the red book that read Alice in Wonderland. Slowly she moved her finger up towards the top, as if she was scared that making noise would get her screamed at.

"Hey, Namine check out these ones." When Kairi said that Namine had actually jumped. Luckily Kairi had so many dresses in her arms that the red head couldn't see anything. Kairi walked to her bed by memory and dropped off the load with a sigh.

"Just sift through these, I'm sure you'll find something." When she finished her sentence she sat down on her bed to study the blond.

"Uh... okay." Namine walked to the bed and began her search. The first few she saw were actually quite nice but Namine felt like if she didn't wear something impressive, someone would find out.

"Hey... Nami, so how do you know Roxas?" Kairi questioned with a bit of a smile on her face.

Namine got a tingling feeling go down her spine at the question. She ignored it and continued to search through the dresses. "He... Uh... We were friends when we were really little... I just happened to meet him tonight."

This peeked Kairi's curiosity. "Oh really? How'd you guy meet again? Secret plans together? Running away together?" She was smiling during the whole thing.

"Huh? No, no! I just had left my 16th Birthday party and went to the park. Roxas was there and making fun of me while I was swinging. Stuff happened, my dress got dirty." She didn't want to make eye contact with Kairi, who had apparently lost interest in what Namine was saying after she said her 16th birthday. "Your birthday is today?! Mine is too! That's so weird!!" The red head was now laying on her stomache looking down at Namine as if really intrigued by the blond girl.

"Yeah... My father made me have one. He needs to impress the guests so he can keep doing business with them." Namine had found three dresses already that would seem suitable for the party.

"Business? Is your family rich or something?" Kairi questioned.

Again, that word. Family. Ugh. Namine answered the red's question simply with a "Yes."

Kairi's eyes widened a bit and she flipped over into her back. "Woooooow! Seriously? That's so awesome! So how come you ditched that party?"

"Everyone there is just after my dad's money... They think that becoming friends with me they'll get it. Although..." She thought of Cloud for a moment. "Some of the people aren't so bad..." Then she though of all the other rich kids that were pretty nice. "Actually a lot of the kids around my age weren't too bad. Some were a bit scary though." She gave a little laugh and realized that she really hasn't expressed herself very much these last 5 years. No one at school would talk to her, Her dad didn't care for her, her mom was... Gone, she had no one to talk to because she was always held up in her cage. She liked these feelings, they felt... real, not fake like the ones at the party.

Namine was holding onto a pale blue dress while she was going over her thoughts. She didn't even realize Kairi saying that it looked like she found one.

"Oh? Huh?" She held up the dress and stared at it for a while.

"Nami?" She heard then Namine snapped out of her daze.

"Sorry, yeah I think this'll be perfect. Hey Kairi, do you want to come to the party with me when I return?" Namine had finally looked up at the red head after avoiding eye contact for so long.

"Wow, really? Are you sure I can?" Kairi's face had lite up at the thought of going to a fancy party like that.

"Sure, why not?" Namine replied with a smile just as bright as Kairi. This... warm feeling.. I really like it. She thought after her smile.

"Hm.. Well I don't want rich guys hitting on me... Do you think Sora can come? Maybe Roxas too?" Kairi said as she ran to her closet to find a dress for herself. (She only took out dresses that she thought would be good looking on Namine before)

"I'm sure it couldn't hurt." Namine laughed as she watched how fast Kairi was searching for a dress.

Kairi flipped her head out of the closet and stated "You know, Nami, you could change while I'm doing this, we're both girls."

The blond realized she was still standing there holding the dress. She slid off her white dress and started to put on the blue one. She got it half way up when she heard a knock on Kairi's door. Then she heard the door knob turn and slowly open. Namine froze like a deer in the headlights. Sora had his hand on the door knob and a cookie hanging out of his mouth while Roxas had his hand up like he was knocking with one hand and the other holding a bottle of water half full. Their were facing each other looking like they were arguing. They turned their head towards the room to notice the half undressed blond. (She was wearing a bra so they didn't 'really' see anything!) It was completely silent in the room except for the sound of Kairi rustling through her closet. Namine's face was the reddest it had ever been and she could feel it.

Kairi stuck her head out again and to ask "Hey, Nami, why is it so..." Before she could finish the sentence she realized that there was two extra bodies in the doorway and three of the newly formed foursome where blushing madly. Plus the fallen cookie from Sora's hanging mouth.

"OHMYGOD! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!" Kairi screamed, ran to the door, closed it and made sure it was locked.

Namine began shaking a bit then fell to her knees trembling. Her face was still red, but not as much as before.

"Nami, I AM SO SORRY! I should've locked the door! I really didn't think that they'd come up here! Whenever they're over they always stay downstairs! When we're done, I swear I'll hit them both so hard for you!" Kairi went to the blond girl as fast as she could and tried to comfort her.

All that was going through Namine's head was ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod, what just happened? Who walked through that door? T-that... That was... Sora.... and Roxas..?! They just saw me..... oh god. oh god. oh god. She couldn't believe what just happened to her.

She snapped back to reality when Kairi had touched her back. Namine flinched.

"I.... I think it's.... best.... not to EVER speak of this again." Namine said almost in a whisper. She started to laugh a little, which made Kairi give her a weird look. Sure, Namine was scared, but in her mind the only way to make this better was with laughter. And it did. Soon after the look, Kairi began laughing too.

"Alright, but I'm still gonna hit them for you, okay?" Kairi said with a grin. "Anyways, I found the perfect dress, so let's finish changing."

Namine nodded then stood up and finished putting on the dress. She decided to keep her white choker on because it didn't get dirty, and it still looked pretty good with the dress. Kairi only took a few minutes to change, fix her hair and do a little make up. Namine gasped at how beautiful she looked. Kairi told Namine to come here and she fix her make up and hair. She replaced her crown with a white bow.

"Namine, you look great!" Kairi exclaimed and gave her new friend a hug.

"You do too, Kairi!" Namine replied, returning the hug in the process.

Kairi unlocked the room and escorted Namine out towards the stairs.

"Sora! Roxas! Get over here! Pronto!" Kairi shouted.

The girls heard some shuffling and they boys wispering back and forth whose fault it was for the whole door scene.

"Kairi! I swear Roxas made me open the door! He said that if I didn't, He'd beat me!" Was the first voice that the girls heard followed by "God, stop being like that Sora! You were getting bored sitting downstairs without Kairi!" They arguing with each other again while they walked to the stairs. They kept eye contact with each other while arguing so they didn't notice the girls.

Kairi whistled while looking down at them from the top of the stairs and said "Sora, I know for a fact that Roxas would only beat you up if you were being an idiot, stop lying!"

The boys looked up at the girls and blushed faintly. Kairi's dress was a strapless pink dress that faded into a white color. The dress ended just below her knees and looked almost like flower petals on the hem. At the top of her dress was a medium sized bow on the right. Namine's new dress was lite blue with one strap on the left side. The dress ended just above her knees while the hem of the dress looked like lace but wasn't. It has little white beads along the lace-like hem.

The boys in unison just said "Whoa..."

Kairi and Namine walked down the stairs.

"Alright, boys! We're going to a party!" She said with a giggle as she waltz by them.

"Wha..." Was all that could leave Roxas' mouth. He has still mainly staring at Namine.

"Really!? AWESOME!" Sora jumped up at the thought of it.

"Wha.... Wait! What about our clothes?" Finally left Roxas' mouth. He realized that he was still staring at Namine so he finally looked away. Namine felt her cheeks get warm when he was staring.

"Its not like you can't wear my dad's suits. GO CHANGE INTO THEM NOW!" The boys ran upstairs in a hurry, they didn't want to be on Kairi's bad side. Namine was amazed that they would follow her orders so obediently. Kairi flashed a smile to Namine "Boys are so easy!~" She said with a giggle. Then she went into the kitchen to tell her mom about going to a party and that she'll be back in a while.

The boys were ready (and looking sharp) so they all left in Sora's car.
