A/N: Well, its warm here and the heat seems to help me write! Yay summer!

Disclaimer: Bad lawyer, bad! Leaves mes ALONES!!

What the hell were you thinking?

Sora's thoughts: ARGH! That Roxas, surely by the end of this curse I'll break every bone in his body!!...Well at least the dress is done. And good riddens!

"Ow!" Sora cried out as, for the millionth time, a needle pricked him.

"Sorry sorry! Hold still!" Rikku growled as she fixed the last gimmicks on the dress.

"Careful Rikku, if you poke her any harder she'll bleed on the dress" Selphie stated while lounging on a chair.

"Yeah yeah"

"Ow!"

"….Done!"

Sora pouted as he looked at the mirror. He looked…cute.

'Well it could be worse' Sora sighed.

The dress was a little darker than baby blue, with a dark but thin net over it. The top was ruffled and sleeveless, and it stopped just below her knees.

"Aww! Its so cute!" Kairi grinned as she looked up from her magazine.

"I…guess" Sora said hesitantly.

"Ok than! Now….Take it off!" Rikku said quickly.

Sora nodded and, without Rikku's help, went to the dressing room and removed the dress.

"Oh, that's gonna leave a mark" Sora whispered as she look at all the little red dots where Rikku poked her.

He heard the girls in the other room chatting happily about something. With a shrug Sora stepped out of the room with her usual attire, only to land on the floor with a thump.

"Sana, Sana, Sana!!!" Selphie cried then paused. "You alive?"

"Ow"

"Okay!!" Selphie cheered completely ignoring the other girl. "Call Riku!"

Sora stared at Selphie with an odd expression on his face.

"Why?" Sora asked.

"To get he to give thee a ride to thy humble abode" Selphie said in a slow accent.

Sora looked outside, it was pretty dark out.

"Sorry we can't give you one. Kairi has tennis now and I have…an experiment to do at home"

"Does it have to do with poor defenseless animals?"

"Yes"

"I'll call" Sora said pushing the girl off him and held his stomach. "God, Selphie I swear. All my insides are rearranged"

"Good for you!" She said in a high pitched I-don't-care-how-you-are-feeling-just-get-your-tail-out-of-here tone.

Honk Honk!!

"That's my ride" Selphie cried jumping up. "Thanks again Rikku!"

"Anytime"

The hyper girl bounded out of the door with a second glance at Sora.

"I better go too Sana. I can't miss practice" Kairi said smiling. (The tennis court was close by so she can walk there)

"Bye"

"Bye"

Kairi left. That left Sora and Rikku in the room. Then just Sora.

"I'll get started on sizing this" Rikku said grinning "Adieu"

Sora thanked her and waved as she left.

'Well I guess that leaves me and the phone'

Sora, after fumbling around in his pockets, pulled out the cell phone.

'Dial, dial, dial. Then wait and pick up' Sora thought absentmindedly.

Doooo…dooo…doooo…dooooooooo. Hey, this is the Riku. Can't get to the phone for one reason or another, call later!

Sora frowned softly, it was a long way walk to his house and it was getting very dark. Sora dialed again with the same result.

"What could he be doing?" Sora whispered.


Riku snored softly as he slept. It was dark and he was bored. Sadly, Sora's calls went unanswered.

Doooo…dooo…doooo…dooooooooo. Hey, this is the Riku. Can't get to the phone for one reason or another, call later!

"Riku? Hey, I was wondering if you can come get me around now. I'm stuck here without a ride and I don't think it's a good idea to walk…So call me back, 'k?"

Rina lifted her head from Riku's warm chest, automatically responding to Sora's voice. But made no attempt to wake Riku, instead she laid back down with a yawn. Sora remained forgotten.


Sora sighed and clicked his phone shut.

"So unreliable, that Riku is" A voice from the top of the stairs voiced Sora's thoughts.

Sora looked up at Roxas with a small smile on his face.

"Sounds like someone I know" Sora said hinting.

Roxas grinned a grin that revealed he wasn't at all offended by the comment.

"Get up; I'll give you a ride"

"What?!" Sora cried shaking his head. "N-no! Not a chance! I'll just walk!" Sora turned quickly and grabbed the door knob.

Sora didn't even here Roxas go down the stairs or walk up next to her. Roxas seized Sora's hand and gentle pried her hand off the knob.

"It isn't my style to let innocent girls like you to walk in the dark. You might..." Roxas grinned slyly "get kidnapped"

Sora had a flash back on the time when Roxas catnapped him and frowned.

"The only person who would kidnap me is you Roxas"

"You never know" Roxas had a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. "You don't know the way"

"Of course I do! I lived here all my life!...um"

'Ah, shoot!!' Sora mentally kicked himself while Roxas gave him a quizzical look.

"All your life? You have been here for maybe a few weeks"

"Ah! Well…I have visited" Sora said tripping over his own words.

Roxas shrugged and grabbed her arm.

"It still isn't my style"

Sora protested as Roxas dragged the girl to the garage.

"Hush up, its just a ride home"

"Yeah, but with you!"

"I don't bite"

"But you stare"

"There's no harm in looking"

"Its creepy!"

Roxas opened the garage door and flicked on the light. Sora paused and couldn't help but mouth the word 'wow'.

"Beauty' isn't she?" Roxas touched lovingly at dark blue Mercedes (A/N: I have no care for cars).

"Sure" Sora said eyeballing the car.

Roxas snickered.

"Who's staring now?"

Sora blushed.

"Its inanimate. That different"

Roxas nodded and opened his door and sat down, then reached over and opened Sora's door.

"Where do you live?"

"3452 Victor Trail" Sora said absentmindedly as he hopped in.

Roxas smiled and turned on the car. The engine purred like a cat getting its favorite can of wet food.

"Enjoy the ride"

And Sora did. It was a warm night, the stars were out, and Roxas was going at just the right speed. Sora was enjoying himself while looking out the window, and Roxas kept his eyes on both Sora and the road, grinning.

As quickly as it came it was over. Roxas stopped at Sora's house and turned over to look more directly at Sora.

"3452 Victor Trail… And look, you haven't died yet!"

"Feh" Sora said still smiling. "My mind is slowly but surely disintegrating as we speak"

"Sure it is" Roxas chuckled. "Now I only ask one thing of you before you get out"

Roxas locked the doors.

"I want a kiss"

A/N: Wow, I ended this fast! SC is next! Yay warm weather!
