So here I am…again…yeah…read the chapter and…stuff…

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

"Is it that obvious?" asked Roxas, pulling off his hood.

"No, I just read your mind." I shrugged. "Literally. You wanna spar?"

"You're on." He said, walking out into the middle of the arena. I followed him out and we stood a little bit away from each other. I evilly smiled at him. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve.

The battle began. Roxas charged at me but I quickly did a back flip and landed on thin air. I smirked at his stunned expression. "Haven't I told you people not to underestimate me?" he just stared. "Obviously not." I dove at him from the air and knocked him off his feet and his weapon out of his hand. I smirked at him again. "I win."

"Ouch." He muttered from the ground. I laughed and offered him a hand up. He took it with an evil glint and pulled me down, but unfortunately I landed on top of him. There was a big fat awkward moment which was interrupted by someone clearing his throat. We both looked at the same time and I shouted happily, "RIKU!!!"

"Am I interrupting something?" he asked, glaring at Roxas.

"No!" we both said hurriedly, backing away from each other. I looked into Riku's face and saw the jealousy that was brewing there. I felt a little stab of hurt. Would Riku really think that I would cheat on him? Didn't he trust me? I pushed it to the back of my mind and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Kinda."

"What is it?"

"We sorta…kinda…need your help. The world is the Land of Dragons and the general will not let the other girls into the army." He blurted out.

"Say no more." I said waving a hand in front of his face. Then I thought of something. I turned to Roxas. "Why don't you come with us? We could use your help."

"But I-"

"Please?" I gave him my best puppy dog eyes. He sighed. "Fine."

"YAY! MORE PERSONS TO TORTURE ENDLESSLY! WHOO!" I walked towards the door. "ONWARD!"

"Is she always like this?" Roxas asked softly.

"YEP!" I shouted from far away. "ARE YOU PERSONS COMING OR WHAT?"

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

So we got to the Land of Dragons which is really China but who really cares? Anyway, once I…um…explained the situation (involving many death threats and some censorship) to the general, and he quickly allowed us into the army. Hehehe. Anyways, when we got here, there was a slight awkward moment where I caught Roxas staring at Jill when she wasn't looking. I did not feel the obligation to mention this to her, so now it's my little secret. Heehee. Okay so now we're back to the present and here we go!

I walked around the camp and stopped at the field on the edge of the campgrounds. I could have sworn I saw someone come out here but I didn't see anyone. Then I felt someone tap my shoulder and I whirled around. It was Roxas.

"Is there a particular reason for scaring me halfway to hell?" I snapped at him. He shrugged. "Not really. I just came out here for a walk and then you followed me."

"Cause I had a question."

"Fine, then ask."

"Do you like Jill?" I asked quickly. He gulped and looked away. "Is that a yes?"

"Maybe."

"Seriously?"

"Kinda."

"You're evading the question."

"Fine. Yes, I kinda do." He admitted.

"There, was that so hard?"

"Yes."

"That's sad."

"I know."

"For how long?"

"How long what?"

"Have you liked Jill?"

"Umm…fine, if you must know, since I saw her. Happy?"

"Quite. Can I tell her?"

"No! Please don't, Jen!" he looked at me with pleading eyes. "Please?"

"Ugh, fine." I sighed, "But she'll want to know."

"But you still can't tell her."

"Oh, I won't tell her." I said with an evil grin. "You will. I'll go get her right now!" I said, getting up and running towards the camp.

"What? No! Jen, wait!" called Roxas as he ran after me.

"OH JILLIE! ROXY HAS SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!" I called out, laughing at Roxas who was trying to catch me. I ran into Jill. What perfect timing!

"You called?" she asked, her arms crossed and her eyebrows raised.

"Yes! Roxy here has something he needs to tell you!" I said, pushing him towards her. Then I ran off, smirking slightly.

"Screw her…" Roxas muttered.

"So, what was it you wanted to tell me?" Jill asked, looking Roxas in the face.

"Umm…w-would you like t-to take a w-walk with me?" he stuttered, his hand rubbing the back of his neck and looking nervous. Jill shrugged. "Sure." Roxas's NEO heart (haha I love calling it that.) leaped into his throat and he led Jill out into the field. She sat down in the middle and looked up at the sky. "Nice night." She said offhandedly.

"Yeah." Roxas said, sitting down next to her. Slight awkward pause while they both stared at the sky. Then Jill pointed up and said, "Look!" Roxas looked up in time to see a star shoot past them.

"You can have it." She told him. "I'm good in the wish department." He smiled at her and closed his eyes, concentrating on his wish. Jill looked over at him. "Whatcha wish for?" she asked.

"I can't tell you or else it won't come true."

"Now that's a load of crap. Now tell me."

"Nope."

"Aw, come on! Please?" she asked with a PDL (puppy dog look.). He sighed. "Fine." He stalled. "What if I said you wouldn't want to hear it?"

"I would say, 'why would I not want to hear it?'"

"Um…well…" he looked at the ground. "I guess I don't want to mess it up." He mumbled.

"Mess what up?" asked Jill. "You're really confusing me now." Roxas sighed and looked her in the eye. "C-could I show you instead?"

Jill nodded. Roxas gently cupped his hand under her cheek and gave her a kiss…on the lips. He parted and looked down. Jill's eyes were wide and she stared at Roxas for a minute before realizing that he was talking to her.

"I probably totally messed that up right now and I'm sorry but I just can't deny the fact that I like you and…" he stopped when he heard Jill giggle. He stared at her as her giggles turned into laughter and she threw back her head, laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her cheeks. "You're…laughing???"

"Of course I'm laughing!" she choked out, "I just find out that the one video game character that I like a lot just told me that he liked me. What, you thought I was going to hate you or something?"

"Kinda." He said without thinking. Then he realized what she had said and was very tempted to smack himself in the face. She gave a fake gasp and shook her head. "What kind of a girl do you think I am?" she asked. He grinned and held her hands in his. "The kind of girl that's perfect for me."

"Aw, that's so sweet." Jill said, grinning with him. "But not as sweet as this." She leaned in and kissed him back and yatta yattta blah blah blah. Moving on!!

I saw the pair of them out in the field and did a little happy dance for my successful attempt at matchmaking. WHOO! GO ME! Then I saw someone walking towards me. That someone, which made my heart leap as I realized this, was Riku.

"Hi!" I said when he was near enough to hear me. He jumped a bit, but calmed down when he saw who it was. "Oh, hi Jen."

"Whatcha doing out here?"

"Just…thinking."

"'Bout what?"

"You…and Roxas." He said with a hint of hurt in his voice. If he felt hurt, I was crushed. He still thought that I would cheat on him?

"W-what about us? If this is about the Coliseum, then just let me say that it was just a friendly battle! I didn't mean anything by it. Anyways, you don't have to worry about that, cause if you hadn't noticed, he's currently in love with Jill."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he's kissing her right now. But that's not the point. You really thought I would do that to you, Riku? I thought you trusted me."

"I do, but…"

"Obviously you didn't stop to think about how I felt before you accuse me of cheating on you. It really hurts to find out that you think I would go that low."

"Jen…"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" I shouted, tears streaming down my face. I tried to brush them away, but Riku caught my hand and held it in his. I glared at him.

"I'm sorry, Jen." He said, his eyes pleading, "I wasn't thinking straight. I guess just seeing you with another guy like that makes me so jealous. I want to be with you Jen. And don't think of you like that. Please forgive me." He was almost begging me now, but I was really mad and hurt and I didn't want to listen.

"Then what do you think I am?" I growled while trying to pull my hand out of his. He responded by pressing his lips against mine. I tried to pull away, but Riku pushed the back of my head with his free hand and held me there. I gave up struggling, and kissed him back. He parted, and said softly, "I think you're wonderful."

I looked into his face. All I could see there was Riku pleading with me to forgive him.

"Riku…do you really want my forgiveness?"

"More than anything." He whispered.

I smiled. "Then I forgive you."

"Really?" I could see doubt in his face. I pulled him down so that his face was right in front of mine and kissed him passionately. He returned this kiss, wrapping his arms around my waist and holding me tight, as though he never wanted to back off. My hands were on his chest, and I could feel the fast beating of his heart. We parted and I looked him straight in the eye. "I want to be with you too."

((The next morning))

"No way."

"Way."

"I don't believe you." Sarah said with her arms crossed. "I'm gonna need to see some proof."

"Kay." Jill said as she walked in the direction of Roxas's tent. He was already up and out waiting for her. "Hey, Jill. What's up?"

"Sarah didn't believe me when I told her that we were together. She says she wants proof." Jill told him. He laughed. "Then let's give it to her, shall we?" he asked, putting an arm around her shoulders. She smiled and hugged him. "You're the best, Roxas."

He just smiled broadly and steered her back to where Sarah was standing with Heather, Veena, and me. Jill said, "You want proof? We'll give you proof." Then she pulled Roxas down to her and kissed him. He happily returned the kiss while Sarah, Veena and Heather's jaws dropped and I cheered. "WHOO! GO PEOPLES!" They broke apart and Jill grinned at me. "Nice to know I have supporters."
