"Field trip?"
"Yes." the teacher answered as she handed white-coloured papers with black print on it. "A field trip to discover the wonders of history."
Sora raised an eyebrow at the teacher, then peered down at his paper. "'A trip to Museum Village'." he read out loud, with Kairi leaning over towards him.
"'Museum Village'? What's that...?" she asked. Sora shrugged at her. "'Students will learn how History has changed over the course of the years by experiencing the way of life in each century.' So, we have to wear funky dresses and stuff?" She asked the teacher.
"You'll have to go to find out, Kairi." she said to her, a grin on her face. "It's free, anyway."
"True," the brunet next ot her agreed. "I'll probably go, only if I ask my mom."
"I'm not sure if I am." the blue-eyed redhead told him.
He turned to her, "Why not, Kairi?" he asked.
"I'll have to beg my mom..." she said, with a little laugh. "She's kinda scared I might hit something."
"It's not like you're the one driving." he replied to Kairi's reasoning. "Besides, what're you gonna hit?"
She sighed after giggling at Sora's "driving" joke. "I know! My mother does not realize that I'm SO over my fighting problem. She's really freaked out when the school called my house about the Seifer incident."
"'Fighting problem'?" he asked her, not caring about Seifer. Really, who would?
"You know what I mean, Sora." she said, a reluctant sound emmited from Kairi.
He gave a confused expression towards his friend. "No, not really."
"Let's put it this way, hon. I use a lot of things as punching bags."
"Interesting." he replied, turning to the paper. He read, "'Students MUST be in a group of two or more.'. So, we need partners?"
"I...guess. If I can go, will you be my partner?"
He slightly widened his eyes at the red-haired girl. "M-Me? But you have so many other friends in the class...I mean, why me?"
"You don't really talk to anyone else, and besides, I'd want you as a partner."
At first, he was totally in awe that Kairi would want to be partners with him. "Why?" he asked himself, but then an answer popped up suddenly in his head.
"Kairi's fallen for Roxas's charm."
Was this guy a mindreader, or what? Not really, he was just...very observant. Half of the time, Sora and Kairi would talk about his blond twin. It was one thing he couldn't forget, though, because he'd fallen for Kairi's. He wanted to say, "It's cuz you wanna talk about Roxas.", but he wouldn't act cold because she liked him.
It wasn't nice.
"Alright then." he answered her, a small grin on his face. "I'll be your partner."
"Thanks!" she said, then gave him a hug.
He was determined to go on this field trip in "Museum Village". And he was also determined to redeem himself in Kairi's eyes.
So, later that night...er, day...
"Mom, please, can I go?" Sora asked the blonde woman, who was looking at the paper with bright, green-colcoured eyes. "It's for the wonders of history."
A blonde eyebrow arose on her face. "But, Sora, honey, I thought you hated History."
"Er..." he replied, not wanting to say something like 'But Kairi's going, and I'm in love with her!'. "The teacher made it look interesting."
"She probably did." Rikku mumbled under her breath. "Gosh, what's with you recently, son?"
"He's gone insane." Roxas called from the other room.
"Roxas, oui crid ib. Ed'c huha uv ouin picehacc. ("Roxas, you shut up. It's none of your business.")" she called back at him.
Sora gulped. Rikku was obviously in a bad mood. Or was it just at Roxas? That was pretty understandable.
"I...well, Mother, I'm still a young, growing, freshman boy. I think I can grow out of my childish dislikes." the brunet boy said to her, with an intellectual tone.
"...Alright. I guess I can let you go, Sora." she answered, engraving her signature into the white-coloured paper. "It's not too far off, anyway."
"Thanks, Mom." he showed her graditude with a smile on his face. And in his mind, he went "YES!!"
It's only if Kairi can go, right? Afterall, Sora still hated History.
"Yes!" she cried. "I can go!" Kairi punched the air in triumph when Sora had asked her in History.
"That's great, Kairi!" Sora congratulated the grinning Kairi with a high five. "So, we're partners, right?"
"Mhmm." she nodded towards the brunet boy. "I already told everyone who asked me, so don't you go choosing another partner, m'kay?"
"Alright..." he said. Sora was happy that Roxas had another History teacher. He wasn't quite sure why he did, but he did. And that's all that mattered right there to Sora.
"Say, is Roxas going?" the red-haired girl asked the blue-eyed boy. He cringed at her question, because that was when he was feeling happy about Roxas not going.
"No." he replied somewhat callously, but apparently, Kairi didn't catch that.
"Why?"
"He has a different History teacher. I dunno why."
"Oh." a sign of disappointment was in her voice. She sighed, "But I always have you, right?" she perkily reassured him, disappointemt appearing to be long gone.
His unfeeling demeanor quickly deteriorated away. "Yeah."
"Alright. We'll be staying there for most of the day." she said, reading through her permission form over again. "Would we need extra clothes?"
"Maybe, just in case I pour ketchup on you, or something." he joked, shrugging at the girl.
Her cerulean eyes widened. "You wouldn't!"
Sora snickered at Kairi, "Maybe I would." he replied. She glared at him.
"I'm bringing extra clothes."
Ahh...chapter's done. :D Wow, before I was just blank, empty, and non-abundant with ideas. Now, I know where this is going.
:D I feel special. XD Review repliessss...
Who goes first? Malcolm Yuy, of course. -turns to otehr readers- Just because it's predictable after nine chapters he's getting first review. -turns back to Malcolm Yuy-
Anyways, I love WHAN. :DDD And thanks for...really liking this fic! Makes me feel special. And I guess this field trip will get Sora outta those branches (Sora being the deer, and yeah...your sad imagery. xD), because he HAS TO GO TO MUSEUM VILLAGE!! With Kairi. :D I might actually say he's the father, but I'm a bit late for that. I'll squeeze that in somewhere along the plot. XD And Demyx...yumm...Cherry-flavoured Tootsie Pops. Those are my favourite too. XD Thanks for the review!
nupinoop296- Gah. I knoww...kinda. Well, I do too, but that's the point of this kinda..xD Roxas will get love...eventually? I'm not sure. XD Your welcome for updating, thanks for the review!!
lebrezie- Woah, you're a new one. :D I love the reviews...XD Sora actually doesn't think he is. He just..happens to make friends with a lady. And he just happens to be a man. I'm not sure how that goes. And your frequent attempts on the bfictional word "Al Bhed" are hilarious. ("Al Ban Ninja or something." that was a quote from you. :D) I hope you had commited that to memory. And yes, these made the stats go to thirty-two. Equal with Memories In Pieces (my other AU fic). I think Roxas has no clue as to whether Sora likes him or not...y'know as a brother/friend. Thank you for loving this story...it's really nice of you. :D AND NAMINE CAN GIGGLE. Believe it! (I -heart- Naruto...lawl.) Well, thanks for the...eight reviews. It was probably cuz of you and nupinoop296 that I got twenty-three emails Thursday night when I checked. LAWL. Thanks a lot! (ZOMG YOU BEAT MALCOLM YUY'S REVIEW REPLY LENGTH!)
The Cute One-You mad at me? Awww. Tha'ts mean. But I updated this last...HEY! I updated this two days ago! I think I used a lot of brainpower to update this. I THINK I DID. Not sure what you think. LAWL. Anyways, Are you not so mad at me no more? I updated. They're going on a field trip! If you'd like to complain that this chapter's real short, please cite the text above this very...longe...intimidating...review-reply paragraph. :D And Affinty's not up yet. I don't think it will be till... Well, thanks for the review! I'm so glad you read another one of my stories! :D
Dude, that was a lot to type out. -wipes brow- Well, I'd like to ask. Has anyone watch "Horton Hears A Who" yet? That movie was HIH-LAH-REE-US. I LOVE Horton. And I was like "ZOMGZOMGZOMG!" when I heard Jojo, because I heard form another author (Er, read) that Roxas's VA was gonna play as the "emo who" (He's actually Jojo, and he's constantly misunderstood by his father, because he doesn't wanna be mayor.). And I was like (to myself) "That's kinda typical, considering that Jesse McCartney plays all the quiet characters. I like his voice and all. :D (Japanese Roxas's VA has a hotter voice, btw. ;D) And yes, he sang a little at the end. "Can't Fight This Feeling" by Kevin Cronin or something. I WANNA FIND THAT SONG, BUT I CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE!!
(A Note: For those people reading Memories In Pieces, I've decided to put that on hold, because I'm just simply -cite the text above replies-. And, I'mma come out with Prologue, so that's up now. You'll have to wait a while till the actual chapter comes out...I SORRY, I know. Blame it on school. LAWL.)
-sighs- Well, this was tiring. I'm not sure if I spelled that right. I'm not sure if I have said everything I wanted to. BUt, last thing.
Review? Please? Really? I'll update slower. and SLOWER. AND SLOWER. AND SLOWER.
I don't think you'd like that. So, please, review.
