Hey, y'all! I have no homework! You know what that means: MORE UPDATING TIME. -throws confetti- Wewt. Okay, let's get started.

Disclaimer: I am not even old enough to drive, do you think I own Kingdom Hearts?! Well no. I don't own it. I also don't own Twister or Battle Ship.

Chapter 4: Where's Sora?

"Why, hello, Roxas!" Kairi squealed and yanked me in as soon as I rang the doorbell. She slammed the door behind me and grabbed my wrist. Before I could protest, she pulled me into the living room, where the party would mostly likely be taking place.

Kairi let go of me. I rubbed my wrist and placed my present on a table that had been set up. The whole room had been transformed. Multicolored ribbons hung everywhere. All the fancy and breakable items had been removed. The only furniture left was a couple of tables, some chairs, and the couch. One table had chips and dip, cherries, and other snacks on it. The other was for presents. My present was the only one sitting on the table.

"So...where is everyone?" I asked, sitting down on the couch.

"You're the first one here," she replied. "Sora's coming right?"

I sighed. "Yes, Kairi. Sora is coming."

She smiled. "Good." The door bell suddenly rang. Kairi ran to get the door.

--------------------------

Finally, everyone showed up. Hayner, Olette, Pence, Selphie, Riku, Namine, Tidus, Yuna, and ...not Sora.

Five minutes had already passed and still Sora was nowhere to be found. Kairi insisted on waiting for him before starting the party. As time went by, I kept stealing glances at Riku. The way he acted earlier was so weird. He acted like he was upset to hear me say I liked Namine. But now he seemed fine. A little pissed off because of Sora, but fine. I felt relieved that Riku was back to normal.

Five more minutes went by, and there was still no sign of Sora.

Ten minutes.

Fifteen.

"Where the hell is he?!" Hayner yelled, impatiently.

"Yeah, it's not like him to be this late," Yuna stated.

Everyone started talking and yelling about Sora.

"Okay, everyone! Listen up!" Kairi yelled, getting our attention. "Sora may not be here yet, but let's just get started on some games, okay?" She started getting out a couple of board games. My eyes locked onto Twister.

"Oh, Kairi..." Selphie said, a little saddened that Sora had not come yet.

"I'm sure Sora has good reason why he isn't here yet," Tidus started.

"Yeah." Riku and Pence both agreed.

"I'm sure you're right, Tidus." Kairi said, smiling.

And so, we started playing some games. We had two different games going on. Battle Ship was being set up, as was Twister. Pence and Tidus were playing against each other at Battle Ship while Olette watched, and the rest of us were starting to play Twister. Kairi didn't participate. She was staring out the window, looking sad. Twister was going to have to wait.

I walked up to where Kairi was sitting. "I'll see if I can find him." I told her.

"No, Roxas. You don't need to." Kairi began.

"No, no. It's fine. Besides, Sora was really excited for the party, so he must have gotten himself into trouble. Or something. So, I'll go find him. Alright?"

Kairi smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Roxas."

"No problem." I replied and headed out the door.

Before I opened the door someone tapped my shoulder. I turned and saw Namine.

"Let me come with you. Kairi said it was fine." Namine said.

"Uhh...okay." I replied and we both walked out of Kairi's house.

-------------------------

We were silent for some time. Namine seemed lost in thought. I had nothing to say. So I thought of where Sora could be. I wanted to say something though, to break the awkward silence. "So, Namine.." I started.

"Hmm?" She looked at me.

"..." I was at loss of words. Why? Because of her eyes. They were so gorgeous. Call me corny, but they were. They were such a beautiful shade of blue...

"Yes?"

"Oh, um, uh..." I could feel my face turning red. "Where should we..uh...look first?" Remember the mission, Roxas. Find Sora.

"Well, first let's see what his mom has to say." Namine suggested.

"Yeah. Good idea." I complemented her. Namine turned her head, but I saw she was blushing. I smiled.

Before long, I spotted Sora's house. Namine and I walked up the porch and rang the doorbell. To my - and probably Namine's - surprise, Sora answered the door!

"Sora? What the hell are you doing?" I asked rather rudely.

"Roxas? Namine?" Sora asked, bewildered.

"The party!" I shouted.

"Kairi's waiting for you!" Namine said.

Sora gasped. "What?! What time is it? Oh man, she must hate me! Oh man! Roxas, Namine. Could you do me a favor? Tell Kairi I'll be there. I've got a surprise, but it is on it's way."

"What do you mean?" Namine asked before I could.

"I bought some tickets to see a concert. I could only afford two, and I wanted to do something really nice, like..." Sora stopped, slightly blushing.

"So, you're going to ask Kairi out to a concert?" Namine asked.

Sora nodded. "But the tickets won't get here until later."

"Why don't you go to the party and come back and get the tickets?" I asked. Sometimes Sora can be so stupid.

"I don't know when the tickets will be here. I only know it's today." Sora replied. "Can you tell Kairi that I am sorry and I'll have a special present for her?"

"Alright, alright." I said.

Sora beamed. "Thanks Roxas!" He shut the door and Namine and I turned to walk back to Kairi's house.

I shook my head. "Jeez, Sora can be so stupid,"

Namine laughed. "Heheh, right."

I suddenly remembered something. "Oh, hey, Namine?" I looked at her.

"Yeah?" She asked, looking directly at me. Once again, her eyes captivated me.

"Well..you know how you called me earlier?" I started after pausing to look at her eyes. "Do you think you could tell me what was so important? Or do I have to wait until after the party?" I pondered.

Namine looked down. Her face saddened. "Oh..." Namine said softly.

"I-I can wait," I rushed, sensing her sadness and discomfort. "You can tell me later, okay?"

Namine met my gaze again. "Alright. Sorry."

"No need to be sorry." I said, smiling.

Namine smiled back, and immediately I blushed. I continued to look into her eyes, though. Namine had a grown slightly red, also. We stood there, staring at each other.

"Hey!!"

The moment was interrupted as I heard a voice. I turned to see who it was. I saw a familiar spiky haired brunette racing to catch up to us. Sora. He was looking very pleased. "I got them!" He shouted. "I got the tickets!" He caught up to us, but instead of stopping, he raced on. "See you at Kairi's!" He called.

"Come on, let's hurry." I said to Namine as we quickened our pace. Man, Sora had ruined that perfect moment. I could tell Namine was going to say something. It was completely ruined. I glanced at Namine, who looked up. I smirked, still blushing. She did, too.

Silently, we made our way to Kairi's.

------------------------

"Now it's party time!" Hayner yelled as soon as Namine and I opened the door. "Let's get rid of these kiddy games and start the real ones!"

"Yeah!" Pretty much everyone agreed.

"Okay, now that Sora is here, we can actually have some fun." Kairi said, pleased. She wasn't at all mad that Sora had missed a half an hour of her party. I didn't know why. I love thing, I suppose.

Sora hadn't given Kairi her present yet. He was probably waiting for the best moment. Plus he wanted to kiss her, too. Man, oh man, Sora is probably going through a lot pressure.

Kairi grinned at the girls. That made me nervous. "Uh oh..." I mumbled. Pence gulped. All of us guys were nervous about that grin. Except Sora. He was clueless as ever.

"Let's play 'Spin the Bottle'!" Kairi yelled out one of the most famous games teenagers play.

It was going to be one heck of a party.

End of Chapter 4

Yay! Cliffhangers!

I wanted to start the games in this chapter, but you are going to have to wait. Plus I'm, kind of tired. Yes, yes, I am so evil. Well, keep the reviews coming!
