Pisces

Today is a new day! And sadly, a new girl. My first date ever, in the history of my life, was bad. No wait, scractch that, horrible. So as I put my clothes on, I can't help but feel, ehh, what's the word? Depressed. Soon enough the car horn sounds and I head downstairs to meet my flaming driver. I get into the car and I place my book on the floor. He smiles at me and he steps on the gas. I decide to look out the window and I see that we are escaping the neighborhood.

"Axel, where are we going?" I ask.

"To your next date, stupid."

"Which is where?"

"A cave."

"A...cave."

"This girl is apparently a real live wire, so she likes to hunt for treasure," Axel explains.

"Oh come on! Why do all of the girls I get seem to be freaking crazy!" I shout at the roof of the car.

"This girl can't be that bad. Sooooooooo...enjoy it?"

"Ugh, kill me now. Please, smash your car into that brick wall and kill me now," I beg.

"I'm not killing my buddy. So no," Axel says, disappointing me.

Soon enough we get there and I see the girl waiting for me. She was...attractive. Axel slams on the breaks and if we were in a cartoon, he'd turn into a wolf and howl. This girl was drop dead gorgeous. I get out and I head towards my lady. As I got closer and closer I could see her better and better. She had blonde hair in some kind of odd fashion. Some of it was beaded, some of it was pulled over, and some of it was hiden in a blue bandana. As for her eyes, they were an energy filled green that took in everything in the room. She wore a yellow bikini top with a green skirt that had two yellow pockets on it. Along with that she had on a pair of blue and white shoes, a scarf that went from red, to orange, to yellow, and two pieces of cloth that tied around both arms like sleeves. She sees me and she waves happily at me. She runs over and grabs my hand to meet me.

"Hi! I'm Rikku!" She says cheerfully.

"Hi, I'm Roxas."

"Nice to meet'cha. Ready to go?" She asks, doing a pose at the end.

"Whenever you are."

"Alright!" She says jumping in the air. "Let us go!" She says pulling me toward the cave.

I turn back to see Axel smiling, glad that she is kinda like Selphie, yet sad cause we left without him. I stick my tongue out at him and he just looks away. When I turn back, I see that Rikku is still pulling me and soon enough we get to a bunch of equipment. She lets go and digs into the backpack and digs something out. Eventually, she finds what she is looking for and throws it at me. She throws a yard of rope, a flashlight, and a bag of trail mix at me. Then, she puts her snack in her pocket along with her mini flashlight. Rikku then heads into the cave.

"Wait! Hold on a minute!" I say stopping in front of her, making her stop. "Where's your piece of rope?"

"Don't need it. I've been doing this for awhile, so I know exactly how to do it and stay save without to much equipment. Don't worry about me," she says tapping my cheek.

"Okay then," I sigh.

We walk further and further into the cave and eventually Rikku begins to talk to me. She was either shy at first, pissed at me for stopping her earlier, or was really into this.

"So, have you ever done this before?" She asks.

"No."

"Well congrats. I think we're gonna hit the motherload!" She says, jumping again.

"How do you know that?" I ask, curious.

"I just get this feeling right before I, or my group, finds treasure. So I am just guessing."

"Oh, okay. How old are you anyway?"

"Nine plus ten. Nineteen. Now lets go!"

Soon enough we get to this large opening that leads to a large waterfall at the end. Rikku squeals and she runs forward. I run after her, not wanting to get left behind by my date. Soon enough she stops and I see what she's looking at. She wasn't looking at the waterfall like I was. She was looking at a blue glowing sphere. The aqua colored sphere was in the middle of the opening in the cave. It wasn't gaurded like in the movies, it wasn't even surrounded by plants or anything. It was just laying there, ready for the taking. She runs forward and grabs it and she holds it up to the ceiling to see it better. I look at her funny as she does all of this. She then walks over and sits on the edge and gets her snack out. She motions for me to come over and I do the same.

"I know this wasn't the date you were expecting, but you had fun, right?"

"Yeah. It was rather interesting," I tell her, smiling.

"Good! I know that our 'dinner' is just a slight snack, but you have to pack light. Hahaha!"

"True, so true," I reply, taking a mouthful of my trail mix.

"Sigh, this is the best place ever. I got an awesome treasure, and it's got a waterfall! Two good things in one!"

I nod my head and she smiles at me. She then turns her attention to her prize.

"What is that thing anyway?" I ask.

"A sphere."

"Well, is it made of sapphire or something?"

"No, a video is inside of it."

"Really!" I ask, totally surprised by this.

"Really. We can't watch it now, but the guy that works the machine can show me later. I'd love to show you, but I won't be seeing him for a few more days," she explains.

"Oh."

"It's okay!" She says, hugging me.

"Thanks."

"If it makes you feel better. Watch this."

She places the sphere in her pocket and she jumps down. I look down and I see that she is flipping and running on the cave walls. Man this girl is nuts! But...interesting at the same time. She then appears behind me and I almost fall, but she catchs me. She giggles and she pulls me up so I'm now standing. We head back out of the cave with Rikku's precious prize in her hands and I can see Axel watching us the whole way. Rikku then takes a seat and she pulls me down. I guess we are gonna be talking right here for the rest of our date.

"So, Rikku, what else do you like to do?" I ask.

"I like to laugh and stuff like that," she says while playing with her sphere.

"Nice. Um, what sign are you?"

"Do you mean like sun sign?" She asks, standing up.

"Yeah," I say, standing up with her.

"Pisces! I have the fishy sign!" She says giggling, and then acting like a fish.

"Well fact. Rikku has the fishy sign."

She giggles at this and she then holds my hand and swings it back a forth. I smile at this. Maybe she was just shy at first. Maybe we really do have a connection.

"So, Rikku, if you could live in another world, what type of world would it be?"

She thinks long and hard before answering. "I guess it would be the world I live in everyday."

"Huh?"

"I like to pretend that this world has more to it. That monsters are lurking in caves and that I fight anything that'll get in my way."

"Oh."

"Yeah. It sounds weird to everybody, but I can't stand living in the real world. It's to boring and bland. I like my world better."

"Well, this world can be kind of strange and boring sometimes," I quickly say.

She gives me a big smile and she starts to walk away. Oh crap, I think I offended her. I follow her and she explains that she has to go. She also says that she enjoyed our little adventure/date. She then waves me a goodbye as she leaves. I wave to her and I head towards the car. Axel looks stunned and I know that I am gonna have to explain it all to him.

"Wha-what happened? Why'd you let her get away?" He asks.

"She had other places to be. I'm not gonna hold her hostage. Unlike you."

"Ha ha, very funny," he says starting the car.

"Hey, can we run by Mickey D's or something. I'm straving."

"Didn't you eat with her?"

"No. It was kinda like a quick get together, and not like a date if you ask me. Anyway, please?"

"Fine. I'm getting hungry myself," he says, holding his stomach.

I smile and I get my book out. I turn it to the next page and I begin to replay the date over in my head. I then start my creative process.

Rikku: Pisces
Age: 19
Good: Active and outgoing. Can do tricks that most gymnastic girls can't do. Nice body.
Bad: Is more focused on her 'work' than anything else. Doesn't really say much to me. No connection?
Pisces Personality: Pisces live in two worlds, the real world and the world where they see what they want to see. They want to avoid the pain and suffering that inhabit the real world. Their temperment is hard to pinpoint. They can also be very lazy when doing things that they don't care about.
Other Things About Rikku: Has her own little world that she lives in everyday.

As we pull into McDonalds, I see Rikku again. She was talking to a friend of hers, and after that they soon got in the car. Axel hands me my food and we pull out. While heading home I can't help but think, why are all of this girls not for me. Axel gives me a strange look and I plain out ask him.

"How come all these girls hate me?" I ask while munching on my burger.

"They don't hate you. They just weren't for you."

"Sigh..."

"It's true! Selphie liked you a lot, I mean a lot a lot, but you didn't feel the same way I guess. You may like her, but you didn't show it to much. And as for Rikku, you and her seemed better as friends. You need to stop putting yourself down. It's not right," Axel explains.

"...Thanks. I...I feel a lot better."

We soon arrive at my house and I see Leon walking down the sidewalk for home. He must've visited Rinoa late today. I get out and I tell Axel goodbye. I walk towards my younger brother and I ask him what's up. He gives me a smile which tells me that it was okay. Before I head inside Leon stops me so we can talk on the porch.

"What's up?" I ask.

"How'd your date go today?" He asks in return.

"Okay I guess. I don't think she was 'the one' for me. But then again, it could be me misreading her signals."

"I'm sorry, Rox."

"It's fine, but thanks anyway."

Leon gives me a smile and he reaches for the knob. He turns it and he then speaks. "Come on, dad's being calling me nonstop asking if I had seen you or not."

"Okay."

So we head inside to rest up for the next day. Where I go on date number three, and Leon heads back to the hospital.

Okay, sorry if this chapter was a little boring, but I didn't know what to write with her. Nothing really came up except for how she hunts for treasure and spheres. As for her dress, I chose to do her Final Fantasy dress, rather than her Kingdom Hearts. Why? Two reasons. One, even though I find her outfit adorible in KH, I wanted Roxas to think she was gorgeous. Two, she's a fairy in there and I could've simply made her human, but I chose not to. Anyway, that's really about it. Got nothing else to say today other than I am sorry that it took so long to update. Again. Review please.
