142 Snapshots
I Just wanna say before I start the chapter... My computer is down, and I'm on my sister's laptop... I'm trying as fast as I possibly can to get my computer fixed, but it could take a bit of time... I hope you all don't mind :D But, I am going to write this chapter, and hopefully, this will be my first and last time having to updating on my sister's computer. I hope you enjoy!
Snapshot #10 ((requested by wikki6))
The tangled up mess with Riku hovering over Selphie was the result of her wanting him to jump rope with her..
The picture was so unique, everyone who saw it, could only stare in shock.
It was a mangled pile, consisting of only two people, even though the two were so mashed together, it looked like ten. There was pale and darker skin, silver and brick brown hair color, yellow, and jean-blue... All combined and mixed into one big swirl. The funny thing was... It was Riku and Selphie. Two of the absolute most abnormal people for it to be... So strange, yet so incredibly obvious it was funny.
Selphie was flat on her back... Sort of, but her head was anyways. Her hair spread out on the sides, surprisingly very beautiful when it was straight. Her hair was about shoulder length, all thrown out of it's pony tail. Her eyes were wide with shock, her mouth open just slightly. Selphie's yellow dress, over the years, turned to a yellow halter top, and jean shorts. Jump roping was her excillent way to totally stay active, and she seriously reamed on everyone to stop watching boring T.V.
That was Selphie for everyone... Her cheeks were colored extremely red, here mind wondering how this all happened.
Riku on the other hand was smiling slightly, yet was blushing a lot... Too much to be normal for Riku. His hair had fallen around his face, almost blocking him from the camera, but the wind picked up at the perfect time, just as Sora and Kairi had snapped the picture. They'd been laughing no doubt, but for sure Riku didn't care. That's possibly why Selphie was so confused. Usually he cared a lot when Sora made fun of him...
Back to the point...
Riku's eyes were also unusually soft and kind, instead of competitive and cruelly funny. His clothes were normal, jeans, shirt, and vest, along with tennis shoes and arm band type things. But his hair, of course, hadn't been made longer, but he cut it short again, just like before the whole adventure started (AKA... Kingdom Hearts I)
It was a beautiful and mouse - quiet day. The sea gulls were being almost as sweet and great as swans. The sun was at it's highest peak, shining and glowing radiantly, trying to burn and make things sizzle, but in a peaceful way. Tranquility of the water swaying back and forth on the shore, and a few kids on the island, making haste of the things that Selphie, Riku, Tidus, Wakka, Sora, and Kairi had brought and put there... The boats, the secret place, the trees, the treehouse... Everything. They had let people come, as it was a free island to roam about, but they didn't mind the new generation to come along.
It was the perfect day for a perfect couple...
Rain. All there was was rain. Pouring, dripping... Everything was wet.
"Selphie!" They all whined when they got to the island. Apparently, it had been a fine day, a little muggy, but fine nonetheless, when they had set out on their canoes. But, when they get to shore, the began to downpour completely. There was no way to stop it, it was just one of those spur of the moment rains.
"It was fine when he left!" She defended herself. "Besides, a little rain never hurt anyone."
"A little doesn't..." Sora yelled over the pounding drops. "But a lot does!"
"Quit whining! Let's just get someone where dry..." Kairi smartly replied, stepping between the two, and on her way. Riku, Tidus, and Wakka all shrugged and followed. Sora smiled at the girl and followed aswell.
But Selphie could tell they were all irritated with her. She would follow, but not go to the tree house. She figured she'd prove her point, and leave them alone.
"Where's Selph?" Kairi finally asked when they were all dry. She sat down, where Sora joined her side, sliding his hand into hers behind their backs.
"I'm not sure." Riku shrugged and sat down also, in between Sora and Kairi, just to annoy them. He figured something had to be up for them sitting that close.
"Someone should go find her, ya?" Wakka asked, eying Riku carefully.
"Why me?"
"We all know you have a thing for her." Tidus laughed jokingly. He and Selphie had gone out when they were around fourteen, but they decided it would be better if they stayed friends. When Riku returned at eighteen, Tidus figured something was up. Riku never had anything for Selphie, infact they were barely friends. Sure, they'd fight sometimes for combat reasons, but otherwhise it was pretty 'hi.' 'hey.' 'bye.' 'see you later.' And that was their daily conversation. Nothing more, nothing less.
But, Selphie had matured. Not so hyper, and more like Riku as the years went by that she missed him a lot... But, she never told anyone that, they all just thought she had grown up.
Kairi of course knew, and they knew she'd know... She simply covered it up by saying girls matured twice as fast as boys. Then, they got on a sexist rant. And that was the end of that theory.
"I do not."
"Took an awful long time to answer." Sora laughed.
"Hey. We all know you have a thing for Kairi!"
"Damn straight." He blushed, pushing Riku out of the way to sit by the girl. Kairi's cheeks arose in color, making her turn to head away from the spiky haired boy.
Riku sigh and stood up anyways. He looked out of the treehouse, only to get bombarded with what felt like a bucket of water. "Ahh!" He tripped back into the treehouse, and shook his head, getting everyone wet.
"Riku! Cut your hair! It's like the shaggy dog..." Tidus laughed.
"God, not as bad as it used to be!" Sora laughed. "It bothered me."
"Just cause I don't spike my hair, doesn't mean my hair ain't absolutely freakin awesome!"
"Go find Selphie, ya?" Wakka pushed him out, making him have to jump off the edge. "Selphie!" He screamed over the rain.
"Riku?" He turned around to see Selphie in her yellow halter, and jean shorts, the pony tail weighing down with water.
"What are you doing out here?"
"Proving a point!" She screamed.
"Only you!" He laughed.
She smiled at him, her head cocked slightly to the side. Her eyes sparkled, and Riku noticed the rain was letting up just a bit. It was now a heavy drizzel, and the others jumped down.
"Selphie, you're very wet." Sora pointed out.
"Thank you captain obvious!" She laughed. Despite the fact she matured, she was still Selphie.
He stuck his tongue out at her, and turned with Kairi, Wakka, and Tidus to walk around the island. The rain had let up extremely fast, and was now sprinkling in the small sunlight coming through.
"I didn't think it was possible for rain to stop that fast." Riku laughed.
"It probably isn't... But, since it has... Come jump rope with me Riku."
"No way!"
"Yeah..." She smiled and walked over to the chest on the dock, opened it, and grabbed out a completely dry jump rope. "Please?"
"No! Jump roping is retarded."
"Don't say that! You're stupid wooden stick is stupid."
"No.. Selph, I'm not gunna jump rope."
"Riku! Jump rope with me, please!" She stomped her foot, glaring, the sparkle in her eyes turning to a glint. But soon she smirked wickedly. "You can't jump rope."
"What?" He laughed. "Of course I can!" But, his voice didn't sound entirely sure.
Her tone turned seductive for just one moment. "Prove it."
"Fine!" He stomped over to her and glared. She stepped closer to him, making him look away to hide his blush.
"Ready?"
"One rope?"
"I only have one rope... Besides, its much more fun to rely on another person to get you through the jump."
"Whatever, go ahead."
She started the rope up, and Riku seemed wobly at first, but got the hang of it fairly quick. She needed a plan, because she could see the smirk on his face already. Soon, she moved her hands infront of both of their stomaches and criss crossed. Of course, Riku got confused and tripped.
Selphie didn't really think of Riku tripping that incredibly bad. She tripped as well, and fell back on the dock, hitting her head slightly. He fell ontop of her, but held himself up about an inch or so above her. He fould feel her chest and stomache go rapidly yet in a slow manner up and down, from breathing so hard.
"Hey Selphie?"
"Yeah?"
"I told you I can't jumprope."
"Hey Riku?"
"Yeah?"
"I should tell you that I love you..."
Instead of replying (which made Selphie awful sad for only a split second) he pushed his lips into hers and slipped his tongue into her mouth. The shock allowed him to do that, but as her eyes closed, she got more and more relaxed and wrapped her arms around his neck. He picked the extremely light girl up with one arm and got up.
Sora and Kairi snickered as they ran off, laughing and giggling as they pleased.
For Riku and Selphie... It was the beginning of something so great... It was better than jump rope...
WOOOO HOOOO GIANTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!!! Sorry... I just had a spazz there... You know everyone had such little faith that a wildcard team would win...
