Thanks to...

Knight-Dawn (LOL, you're more than welcome to skip a few, y'know. I've skipped, what, twenty chapters of yours now? :P Can't stop reading it, though... Good to hear! May I ask where you went or would that be too stalkerish? 1. I know, I know, but it's the only depressing prompt in the first ten!

Hey, the guy's eighteen and only human... XD Y'know, she might have planned that one in advance... I can see her doing that... 3. That one was fun to write! Oh, yes, Roxas is jealous and just can't quite admit it to himself... LOL, yes, she did, and Riku's likely to tease her about it forever...) for reviewing, and

"Mm." Xion giggles suddenly. "If I go back to the Castle, I should take this with me—to remember you."

Riku's mouth goes dry.

"I'd love to see Saïx's face if I showed up with it," she laughs.

...Riku wonders what Sora's face would look like if he found out...
