Chapter 12- Moving Out and Moving In

"I wonder what happened to Shawn's face," Selphie said after class.

"Looks like he got slapped," Riku pointed out. I was trying not to grin but it was so hard. They seemed to notice too.

"Why are you so cheery?" Cloud asked.

"That grin is awfully big," Sora said. I looked up and started to laugh.

"Er..." Amanda said confused.

"Uh, Kai, are you okay?" Namine asked. They looked at me worriedly. I started to calm down some.

"Are you calm enough to tell us?" Sora asked. I nodded. I held up my right hand.

"What are you doing?" Cloud raised an eyebrow.

"I slapped Shawn," I confessed.

"Not that he doesn't deserve it, but what did he do this time?" Amanda asked.

"He's Zorro," I informed them.

"He's Zorro?" Nam asked wide-eyes. I nodded.

"How'd you find out?" Sora said.

"Sarah and Cindy were talking about it," I told them.

"Way to go Kai!" Riku said giving me a high five. I smiled returning it. We went through the rest of the weekdays with ease. Saturday came along. The day we would start helping my family move in a couple streets up.

Blake, Cloud, and Sora helped Alexa pack and load her stuff into Sora's truck while I went with my parents to help my uncle and aunt. We drove to their new house... more like mansion in my eyes. The place was in one of the better neighborhoods, one of the best in Destiny City. My parents said it had six rooms, five bathrooms, three car garage, family room and living room with a swimming pool and hot tub in the back yard. Sadly, this house was smaller then their pervious one. Since Alexa's mom came from a rich family, they could afford this living.

"Hey Kiddo, long time no see," Uncle John said as I walked in. My 37 year old uncle greeted me. Him and my mom looked a lot alike. Both have red-brown hair and green-blue eyes. It really came to me that I have my moms hair and dads unique blue eyes.

"Hey uncle Johnny," I smiled up at him. My aunt Juli came up behind him. She didn't look at all in her 30's. Her green eyes, the one Alexa got were very young and alive looking. Juli was tall and slender with beautiful long brown hair. She smiled at me.

"Good to see you again Kairi dear," Juli said.

"Same here," I replied.

"The moving trucks won't be here for a while so if you want to take a look around, go ahead," John said.

"Alexa's on her way, they just called," Juli informed me. I nodded and headed inside. Everything was pure white, except for the floors, they were hardwood. I wanted to see what Alexa's room looked like but I wasn't sure which of the five rooms belonged to her. I examined the downstairs while I waited for everyone to get here. They had a huge kitchen and dining room. I could only imagine what Juli was going to do to this place. It was kind of funny that three people would live in a house this big, but I guess if you have the money, you have a right to show it off.

"Kairi!" Alexa's voice rang through the empty downstairs. I ran to the entry way where everyone stood.

"Hey," I greeted them. I decided to introduce my friends, well three of my many friends to my uncle and aunt. "John, Juli, this is Cloud and his brother Blake. They live next door. This is my boyfriend Sora, who's been staying with us for a little over a couple months now."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Juli said.

"Like wise," Sora said.

"Hey Alexa, go pick a room out," John said to his daughter.

"Okay! Come on guys." Alexa started to run to the stairs. The four of us followed her. The upstairs was ridiculously huge. (A/N: If you guys have seen Freaky Friday, the way the upstairs hallway and rooms are set up like that... only imagine this tons bigger) Alexa led us to a room that faced the front of the house and had a balcony. This room was probably as big as Sora's room, my room, and the extra bed room combined.

"This is going to be your room?" Blake asked looking around.

"Yep!" Alexa chirped.

"We've got company!" I heard my mom call from outside. We all went to the balcony. Namine, Amanda, Riku, Tidus, and Yuna were talking to my parents.

"Up here!" I called. Everyone looked up and waved.

"Come on Cloud, let's go get Alexa's stuff," Sora said. Cloud nodded and the two left.

"Let's go meet the others," Alexa said heading inside her room followed by Blake. I stayed where I was. "Come on Kai."

"I'll be down in a bit," I told them. They both shrugged and left. I was looking out at the fantastic view. The ocean was in perfect view just above the swaying palm trees. The small roof tops were seen in the neighborhoods below the hill of the nice houses. I saw a few large moving trucks coming down the street, so I decided to go downstairs and help move.

After a couple of hours, we got a lot of the upstairs stuff done. We decided to take a break. Mine and Alexa's moms were bringing back sandwiches from my house. Our dads were going grocery shopping for the food they'll need for a week. Everyone went through out the house to explore. I was heading upstairs to help Alexa with her room until I heard her out on her balcony talking to Blake who was in the front yard.

"Alexa!" Blake called up to her. I peeked in the doorway. Alexa looked down below.

"Yeah?" she replied.

"I want to tell you something."

"Okay... go on."

"Well ever since I first saw you with Kairi, I couldn't keep my mind off of you. I've gotten to know you and Alexa..."

"Y-yeah Blake..." She sounded kind of surprised to hear this. I smiled because this seemed like a remake version of Romeo and Juliet.

"Alexa, I think I love you!" Blake said with as much confidence he could build up.

"Blake! I feel the same!" she called down to him.

"Are you serious!" I let out a small laugh at the shocking tone of his voice. Alexa nodded. "So... so does this mean something?"

"I hope so!" Alexa said.

"Yes!" Blake yelled excitedly. I smiled. My cousin got a boyfriend. I had to tell Cloud. I started running down the stairs. As I got to the bottom, I saw Blake running down the stairs. As I got to the bottom, I saw Blake running inside. I watched him run up the stairs as I kept running. What a dumb mistake not watching where I was going. I bumped hard into someone and fell to the floor with a thud, along with who ever I ran into.

"Ow!" I said. I looked up to see Amanda in pain too, but we both let out small laughs.

"Kairi! Guess what!" she exclaimed as we helped each other up.

"What?" I asked.

"Tidus asked out Yuna!" Amanda smiled.

"When did this happen!" I was somewhat shocked but very happy for the two.

"Just now! Out in the backyard," she told me.

"Ha, now everyone's paired up," I grinned.

"What do you mean by everyone?" Riku asked who was walking in from the living room with Cloud, Namine, and Sora behind.

"Well Tidus and Yuna. Also at the same time, Blake and Alexa got together," I said happily.

"It's about time Blake said something to Alexa. He was driving me nuts at home talking about her," Cloud said. Namine gave a small laugh.

"I thought it was cute," she said. I smiled at her. My parents, uncle, and aunt walked in.

"Kids! Lunch time!" my mom called as they walked into the kitchen. Like a bunch of animals, at the mention of food, we all charged into the kitchen to eat. During lunch, the new couples were introduced. My uncle and aunt seemed to think Blake was a very good young man. That was good that they approved.

After lunch, we went back to moving things into the house. We all got assigned rooms. Sora and I did one extra bedroom upstairs, as well as Cloud and Namine, Tidus and Yuna and Blake and Alexa. Riku and Amanda were doing the bedroom downstairs. The men brought in the heavy furniture while the women worked on the master bedroom.

"I need a job," Sora said as we were organizing one of the bedrooms.

"That was random and why do you say that? I mean you do have money. Your parents send you some every month," I reminded him.

"Yeah, but it's not exactly enough," Sora said looking at me.

"Huh?" I asked confused. Sora shook his head and laughed a little. He walked up to me.

"Let's just say it's time to grow up," he said. "Whether or not you like it, it's our last year in school before college. The real world is getting closer. Graduation is in about seven months."

"Yeah I know." I looked away and out the window. He knew very well I wasn't ready to start a life different from what I was used to from the time I was little to this school year. Truthfully, I was scared of the future and what it held. It's possible I won't see anyone after graduation. We all have our own destiny, I was just afraid of what my destiny has in store for me. I sighed.

"Hey," Sora caught my attention. I looked at him.

"Yeah?"

"You know I'll always be here for you. I really love you and I know nothing will change that." He hugged me. He placed his chin on top of my head. I closed my eyes and took in a breath.

"I know," I replied. "I love you Sora." He let go of me and looked down at me.

"You can count on me. I'll always be here," Sora said in a reassuring tone. I nodded slowly. Something came into my head.

"I have to go talk to Juli. I just thought of something," I said.

"Alright," Sora nodded. I walked out of the room and down the hallway. My mom and Juli were laughing as they were fixing up the master bedroom. I knocked on the side of the open door. I got their attention.

"Oh, Kairi come in," my mom said smiling. I walked in.

"Hey Juli, I have a question," I stated.

"Go on," Juli said.

"Well, I know New Years isn't for another two months, but um, do you think we could throw a party here?" I asked.

"We were just talking about how this house would be a good place for parties," my mom said. I smiled.

"Yeah," Juli agreed. "We're going to have Thanksgiving here, and actually we were planning on having a new years party. You man invite some people, but I don't want it to rowdy."

"Oh, don't worry," I said.

"Go ahead then," she smiled. I hugged her.

"Thanks," I said before leaving. I was walking to the room I was supposed to work on. John and my dad were walking into the master bedroom with a huge dresser. Sora came out of the extra room as they walked in.

"Where are your parents?" Sora asked. He had his cell phone in his hand.

"In the room," I pointed. He nodded and went into the master bedroom. I shrugged it off as I headed to tell my friends about the New Years plans. I walked to the railing and saw inside the room Tidus and Yuna were in. They were talking. I walked around to the other side of the hall. Their conversation was clearer.

"You need to laugh more Tidus," Yuna said.

"What do you mean? Like this? Ha, ha, ha!" Tidus said. I laughed because he sounded like Santa Clause. Yuna was laughing too. (A/N: When I was playing FFX and I saw that, I had to add something similar to it in here some how lol)

"No, you know, just a regular laugh. I've heard it before. I love your laugh," Yuna said. It was quiet for a second. Suddenly Tidus started cracking up, along with Yuna. I walked into the room. They were both collapsed on the bed laughing insanely.

"You two are so weird," I laughed. They both looked up and started to calm down enough to talk.

"Hey Kairi," Yuna giggled.

"What's up Kai?" Tidus smiled.

"Just came to tell you a new years party is being held here. You two are invited," I said.

"That sounds fun!" Yuna said. I nodded.

"I have to go tell the others," I said walking out of the room. As soon as I did, I heard them laughing again. I shook my head and laughed. After I told the other four, Alexa ran down the stairs towards me.

"Kai!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah?"

"Mom says since my furniture won't arrive for a while, I can paint my room! Can you drive me to get paint?" she asked.

"Yeah sure. Um, let me go ask Sora if I can take his truck," I said.

"Got the keys." Alexa dangled Sora's keys in her hand. I took them. "I already asked."

"Wow," I laughed. "Got money?"

"Yep! Let's go!" Alexa pulled me out the door to Sora's red truck. We both got in and I drove us to the store. Once we got there, we headed to the paints. I was looking at the blues.

"There are some cool ones over here," I said.

"I already found the color I want." She held up a dark pink color.

"You really like pink don't you?" I smiled. She nodded. We got enough cans to paint the room. The two of us stopped by my house to get paint brushes and plastic covering to cover the floor. Luckily we kept all this from when we painted what's now Sora's room. I decided to bring Princess with us. We arrived at Alexa's house. I held onto her leash so she wouldn't run.

"Alexa! I have a present for you!" Juli called from upstairs. We headed up the stairs and into the master bedroom where everyone was standing around the bed.

"Yeah?" Alexa asked. Everyone moved away from the bed. Sitting there was a puppy.

"A three month old black lab," John smiled.

"Oh my gosh! I love the puppy," Alexa shrieked excitedly picking it up.

"What are you going to name her?" Amanda asked. Alexa held her up.

"Fluffy!" She smiled.

"Oh, by the way, here." Juli gave Alexa a bright pink collar. Alexa put the collar on Fluffy before putting her down. Princess looked at the small pup. Fluffy barked and tried to jump on Princess. We all laughed.

"Thank you so much mom and dad! I love you!" Alexa hugged her parents. They both kissed their daughter.

"Why don't I take Fluffy and Princess outside while all you," Juli pointed to all of us. "Paint Alexa's room."

"Alright." We nodded and we headed downstairs to Sora's truck to gather all of the painting supplies. Once we had everything, we started to paint. The ten of us took a couple hours to finish up painting the room. All of us stood in the middle of the dark pink room.

"We defiantly didn't do bad at all," I said.

"This was actually pretty fun," Namine smiled. We all gave each other ups. My mom came into the room.

"Wow, you guys did really good," my mom complimented us.

"Thanks," we replied. My mom smiled at us before looking at Sora.

"The answer is sure," she said. I was really confused.

"Thank you," he nodded. My mom was just about to leave when she turned back into the room.

"Oh by the way, dinner will be ready soon," she said before leaving. We cleaned up the room before getting called downstairs for dinner. They ordered pizza.

"Alexa, you're going to be staying with your aunt and uncle one more night while your room dries," Uncle John said.

"You'll be staying in Kairi's room tonight," My dad said. Alexa nodded. I was confused on why but I didn't bother saying anything. Instead I ate my slices of pizza in silence. After everyone, we all headed home. Alexa took her new puppy with us, so she could get used to being with Alexa. Once we got home, my parents made up the air mattress. Sora decided to stay home while Alexa and I went to walk our dogs.

"Glad to have a new home?" I asked.

"Yes and no. Yes because I love our new home. No because I wont be staying with you guys anymore,." Alexa said.

"Well you'll see us at school and you could stay over anytime," I smiled. She smiled in return. We were walking by the beach area. Some venders were out on the sandy sidewalks. Two very recognizable voices were talking near by. I looked up to see two of my group of best friends standing by a flower vender.

"You look beautiful tonight," Josh said. His very dark colored hair was grown out slightly but it still looked good. He had a dark blue long sleeved button up shirt, dark blue faded baggy jeans and black skater shoes.

"Thanks. You look good tonight as well," Lissa said shyly. Her hands were placed in front of her. She was wearing a light blue fancy shirt, a long black skirt that goes to her shins and black flip flops. Her honey colored hair was pulled into a half pony tail. Josh turned to the vender.

"Can I get that rose." Josh pointed to a peach colored rose. The vender handed it to him and Josh paid for it before handing it to Lissa. She held it to her nose and took in the sweet scent.

"Thank you! It's so pretty," Lissa smiled.

"It reminded me of how you blush and you look so beautiful and delicate as that rose," he responded before kissing her lightly. They took each others hands before walking across the street to a restaurant.

"Aw, that's so cute," Alexa said.

"Yeah it was," I grinned. "Finally everyone in the group is paired with someone and is happy." Alexa laughed. We decided to walk back home. The sky was darkening and a few stars were starting to shine in the light orange, purple, and pink sky. As we were starting to walk to the house, Blake ran out of his.

"I'll leave you two alone." I brought both dogs inside. The two chased each other in the doorway, scaring Precious up the stairs. I got some strawberries out of the fridge before heading upstairs to my room. Precious was sitting on my desk top looking out my window. I decided to check up on Blake and Alexa. They were talking and Blake pulled Alexa closer to him before kissing her. I smiled before turning around. I got my pajamas and turned to walk out of my room.

"Hey," Sora said walking out of the spare bedroom. He walked up to me and kissed my forehead. I smiled.

"I'm going to take a shower," I told him before heading into the bathroom. I took a nice warm shower. After I went into my bedroom and sat on my bed watching TV. Alexa came in.

"Hey Kai," she smiled.

"Hey," I laughed a little. She sat down on the air mattress by my bed. "I saw you and Blake outside."

"Hee, hee," Alexa blushed a little. "He's so sweet."

"He's a great kid," I agreed. I started to brush my wet hair. There was a knock at the front door.

"Can you get that Kai?" my mom called from her room.

"I'll be right back," I told Alexa getting up. I headed down the stairs. Princess followed me to the door. I held her collar while I opened the door.

"Hi. I'm going to be staying here," he said. He had bags in his hands. I wasn't sure what do say or do for that matter.

A/N: hee hee. Cliffy! Who could this mystery guy be? I know! But for you to find out, I need those reviews... so let's hear them!
