Blade of Light: Super Awesome Amazing Incredible Vegetable Special!

Authors Note:

Hey all! Well, I'm to burnt out right now to do any real writing because I am incredably burnt out (and its incredibly painful to write because I've done SO MUCH OF IT in the past few weeks…grrr I HATE writing essays…), but I figured I shouldn't leave you hanging for the next week with no Sora and Riku, so thus spawned the Super Veggie Special. This technically came from a conversation Chelsea and I had in health a few weeks ago about the seventh chapter (where Sora quotes Chelsea about veggies), so I thought hey, why not make a small side story about vegetables while I try not to go crazy from school! AND there will be a small preview of the 7th chapter! W00t! So, here's your amazing vegetable story with a side of DRAMA!

(I really don't mind if you just skip the weird vegetable story because it sort of doesn't make much sense even if there is some cute SoraRiku fluff (which you won't be seeing until much later in the actual story, MWAHAHAH)…yeah...just go ahead and skip to the preview.)


"Hi my name is Sora, and this is the really hot and amazing…I mean this is my best friend Riku, and today we're going to talk about Vegetables!"

Sora looked over at Riku to see the silver haired boy staring at him with a wistful look on his face.

"Pst…Riku its your line"

"Since Riku is to busy staring at Sora, I'll be taking over for him!" Roxas said as he pushed a drooling Riku aside.

"Hey! Roxas you can't take Riku's place! Your favorite vegetable doesn't contrast with mine like his does and besides, you aren't as hot and sex…I mean you aren't my best friend!" Sora whined as he tried to push Roxas off camera. "Besides, NO ONE likes cauliflower! Its just a broccoli wanna be!"

Upon hearing this, Roxas stormed off the stage muttering something about how broccoli should be annihilated.

"Anyway before I was RUDLY interrupted by that broccoli wanna be, I was about to introduce our first Vegetable guest star, Riku! Riku's favorite vegetable is carrots, why is that Riku?"

"I…uhh…well…because carrots are the best paring with broccoli of course," Riku said flashing a mischievous look at Sora, "which just happens to be your favorite vegetable, am I right?"

Sora blushed as Riku put his arm around him, "Well…yeah…"

"And why is that Sora?" Riku said in a seductive voice.

"Because they are like little trees! They're sooooo cute!"

"You really are clueless aren't you?" Riku said, an exasperated look on his face.

"Um…clueless about what?" Sora asked giving Riku a confused look.

Riku sighed and rolled his eyes, "About this," Riku pulled Sora into a deep kiss.

They finally broke apart, each gasping for breath.

"Riku…"

Riku smiled at Sora, "I've been wanting to do that for a long time."

Sora reached up and kissed Riku again, absorbing the warmth of his body. They remained standing there until they heard a small cough behind them. Sora broke away from the kiss to see his sister standing behind them.

"Kairi, I…"

"Um…no I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything. But I thought we were doing a special on vegetables? Everyone is waiting for you."

"Oh…uh…yeah…about that…"

"We're sorry Kairi, we just got…er…caught up in the moment, vegetables sure are…um…fascinating." Riku said pulling Sora closer to him.

"Riikuu…not now, we've got to host a show!" Sora whined.

"Oh alright, host your show."

"OK, now that all of our guest stars are here, lets get this vegetable-extravaganza going! And here they are now, our guest stars! Joining us is Roxas, Xemnas, Axel, Cloud, Leon, Kairi, and Saïx!" Sora turned to everyone, "Ok, first question, what's your favorite vegetable and why? Broccoli wanna b…I mean Roxas your up first!"

Roxas glared at Sora as the microphone was passed to him, "Well my favorite vegetable is cauliflower because well…I guess it's the antithesis of broccoli and could beat it any day."

"Thank you broccoli pose…Roxas, Xemnas your up next!"

"Spinach, because it will make me all powerful!"

"Axel?"

"Radish because it reflects my fiery nature, its got a sting to it, ya know?"

The "guest stars" listed off their favorite vegetables one by one, Cloud (artichoke), Leon (leek), and Kairi (turnip) until there was only one guest star left.

"And finally Saïx, what is your favorite vegetable and why?"

"Well I would have to say that my favorite vegetable is Asparagus because it's the best and most powerful of the vegetables."

Axel snickered, and Saïx turned and sneered, "What's so funny, traitor?"

"Oh, nothing, just the fact that you like ASSparagus is all. I think it's quite fitting."

Saïx glared at Axel and launched himself at him. As Saïx and Axel began to fight, two security guards came up and separated them.

"Uh…ok, now on to the final event, the Tomato Scout oath!"

"Wait, what?" Riku said, giving Sora skeptical look.

"The Tomato Scout oath! Don't you want to be a Tomato Scout with me Riku?" Sora asked, putting on his cutest pout.

"Oh, ok, I'd love to become a Tomato Scout with you Sora."

"Yaay! Ok everyone ready?" Sora said, turning to Kairi and the others.

"There's no way I'm becoming a Tomato Scout," Cloud mumbled, getting up from his chair and stalking off stage, a few moments later he reappeared being dragged back on stage by Tifa. "But Tif…"

"Nope, you're doing this, just deal with it."

Riku, looking angry at the disturbance in Sora's show, turned and glared at the rest of the guest stars.

"Does anyone else have a problem with the Tomato Scouts? 'Cause if they do, they are gonna have to face me!"

"Oh like that would be hard," Roxas sneered, glaring at Riku.

"Oh shut up broccoli poser, does anyone else have a problem with the Tomato Scouts?"

Wanting to get this over with, the rest of the guest stars shook their heads no.

"Good, ok Sora, take it away."

"Ok everyone repeat after me! I solemnly, solemnly, solemnly swear to be a good tomato. I will endeavor to do what is ripe. I promise to be firm, yet soft and juicy. I will honor the Great Tomato and do her will, even if it means fighting against the Government. Doop doop doop. Sing tomato, sing tomato, sing tomato, sing!"

After everyone had repeated the Tomato Scout oath, Sora turned back to the camera, "Ok everyone, that's all the time we have left for today! Thanks for watching the super vegetable special! And now the preview of Chapter 7!"


Riku looked down into the crystal with disbelief, "It can't be real," he thought, "Sora wouldn't forget me."

"Its as real as you or me, this is no illusion."

"You're lying!"

"I swear to you, I am not."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because I showed you the truth, there are no lies between us. I showed you the truth because I felt that it was important for you to know. He doesn't really love you Riku."

"No…your wrong…Sora loves me."

"Then why isn't he out looking for you now? Why is he sitting happily around a table with others while you are prisoner in this fortress? Face it Riku, you no longer exist to him."

"But…no I can't be true…why…why would he forget about me?"

"The heart is a fickle thing Riku, you can never trust it. The door is always open Riku, if you ever choose to join us. If you ever want revenge, just come and talk to me. If there is ever anything you need, just ask, we're you family Riku, we care about you."

"I…just want to be alone right now…"

"Very well, I'll have Saïx show you to your room. No reason to make you stay in the dungeon, seeing as you're family."

As if on queue, Saïx walked into the study and waited for Riku to follow him. Riku took one last look into the crystal before he left.

"Good bye Sora," he thought trying to hold back his tears, "Even if you've forgotten about me, I'll never forget about you. I'll always love you, no matter what."

He followed Saïx out of the study and down a wooden paneled corridor. Riku almost ran into Saïx when he stopped outside a fancy looking double door.

"Here's your room, will you be needing anything else?"

"No…thank you."

Saïx left as Riku opened the door to see a large well-furnished room before him. Across the room were several large picture windows that overlooked the city. Riku closed the door and walked across to the windows. His mind raced as he looked out over the dark, rainy city. He glared as he became angrier and angrier that Sora had betrayed him, no broken his heart. As Riku stood at the window, darkness began swirling around him, and before he was completely engulfed by it, a single tear ran down his face.


"AWW, Riku, you though that I didn't love you anymore?"

"Well, you weren't exactly busting you butt to try and find me, how was I supposed to know what you had been through I was stuck in that dungeon!"

"Ok, Ok, but seriously I'll always love you, ok?"

Riku smiled, "Ok, Sora, and I'll always love you."

Sora smiled up at Riku and gave him a quick kiss, "Alright, well that's the end of our Super Vegetable Special, thanks for reading!"


Blabbing:

Wow…that turned out A LOT weirder then I thought, although I was happy that I could sneak in some SoraRiku fluff among the vegetable weirdness. This is what happens when you're stressed out over school, your brain gets fixated on vegetables. Again, I'm sorry for not being able to update, but right now I just don't have the brainpower, I promise to write a ton for you guys this summer! So, I hope you at least enjoyed the small preview of chapter seven, review if you want Thanks for Reading!

Oh, and the Tomato Scout oath belongs to Jason Webly, I included it on request by Chelsea because she is a Jason Webly fan and I thought it fit in with the general theme of vegetables.
