(A/N: Hey people! Its CirciFox81314 here bringing chapter 12, yes I mean, 12 of Kingdom Hearts: Destiny Shine High! Will Penelope be able to handle Joshua?

Penelope: Look, I know I can't. This chapter goes to Friday, right?

CirciFox81314: *Nods*

Penelope: I knew it. So…

Joshua: CirciFox81314 doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or the TWEWY and Final Fantasy Characters in this story. She also doesn't own any music in the story. All she owns is this story's plot and her OC's and Penelope.

Penelope: DAMN IT! I WAS GOING TO SAY THE DAMN DISCLAMIER! BUT NOOO! YOU HAVE TO BE A JERK AND JUST SAY IT! AND I'M AN OC TOO! DO I HAVE TO BE PUT OUT?!

CirciFox81314: Careful! We're still in the back-up building and if this place breaks because of one of you, YOU ALL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE OF BOTH BUILDINGS.

Sora: Sorry I destroyed the main building on my Sugar and Caffeine rush…

CirciFox81314: It's not your fault Sora. It isn't Beat's fault either.

Penelope: HE WAS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT IT UP!

Beat: Whoa, chill, yo! Jus' calm down.

Penelope: *Hits Beat on the Head with Twilight: Breaking Dawn* I WILL NOT…calm…down…?

(Penelope notices the Twilight Book.)

Penelope: AUGH! *Throws the book across the room, which makes the book hit Joshua.*

Joshua: OW! What did you hit…me...with?

Zexion: Oh…there's my book.

(Zexion gets the book from Joshua)

Saki: You read the Twilight series?

Zexion: I ran out of things to read, and these were the only things I haven't read that I could read.

Penelope: But Twilight? Really?

Zexion: Don't worry about it.

Penelope: I hope Joshua has read Twilight-

Joshua: *Types digits into his phone making a random object smack Penelope.* Why would I read Twilight?!

CirciFox81314: One of my friends has read the Twilight series and she prefers the books over the movies.

Neku, Roxas and Vanitas: STOP TALKING ABOUT TWILIGHT!

CirciFox81314: *Blinks* Okay…?

Neku: This isn't the time to talk about Twilight, okay? Don't blame Zexion for reading it!

Saki: I read Twilight myself, but in my mind, I changed the plot as I read to make it less stupid.

Neku: Did anyone listen to me?

Yami: *Walks in with her Plot Bunny Suit* Look everyone, I'm a Plot Bunny!

(Everyone looks at Yami)

Neku: What the hell?

Roselyynn: *Face palms* Yami, I thought I said it was immature to wear a Bunny Suit at the age of 15!

Yami: *Gets P.O. and summons Mysterious Abyss* I LIKE BUNNIES!

Roselyynn: Come on, Saki. Let's get her. (Summons Divine Rose)

Saki: On it. (Summons Sweetstack)

All the Kingdom Hearts, TWEWY and Final Fantasy characters in the room: THEY CAN USE THE KEYBLADE?!

CirciFox81314: I forgot to mention one thing- When Roselyynn, Yami and Saki's memories were unlocked, it unlocked their ability to use the Keyblade. It took FOREVER to choose Saki's, but I finally came up with having her use the Sweetstack Keyblade. It looks like Ice Cream!

Sora: ICE CREAM!

Saki: *Whacks Sora on the head with Sweetstack* Shut up and stop talking.

Neku: …*Thinking*…SHE STOLE MY WORDS

Yami: Dem-Dem…Will you help me?

Demyx: Okay! (Summons Arpeggio)

(Roselyynn, Yami, Saki and Demyx begin battling)

CirciFox81314: *Sighs* let's go up to the second floor before we drown because of Yami and Demyx.

(Backup Building- Second floor)

Riku: When will we begin chapter 12? I mean, this shouldn't just be an Author's note the whole time.

Larxene: YEAH! 12 IS MY NUMBER!
CirciFox81314: Technically this is your chapter if you consider the Character Profile chapter as the-

Larxene: Okay, you're already boring me!

CirciFox81314: Yeah, just wait. I appreciate Xero the Pyro, Xdreamromance,

KingdomKeepersGirl and XxKenseyXx13 for reviewing! I appreciate it!

Axel: Agreed.

(A loud splashing noise is heard downstairs)

CirciFox81314: OH NO! ROSELYYNN AND SAKI! (Runs downstairs)

Axel: Won't she drown?

Penelope: No, Authors won't die from attacks in Author's Notes.

Joshua: I can't wait anymore. Chapter time!

Penelope: Who made you the boss?

Joshua: Shut-up.

Roxas: YOU TOOK MY LINE!

Joshua: *Sighs* Um…the chapter?

Riku: Okay. And…chapter time!

CirciFox81314: I also apologize for the ridiculously long AN. I think in the next chapters, there will be very little.

Chapter 11: Try Not to Lose

(Penelope's POV)

(Math Class)

I always get done with Math Class quickly. I also brought more books to read in class when I'm done. But then again…what if Joshua annoys me?

Wait…I'm getting too ahead of myself. Why would Joshua annoy me in MATH class? Mr. Saïx will probably be after him. Wait, to me THAT would be an AWESOME thing. But still…Joshua IS a good student and I doubt he'd try getting into trouble…WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THIS?!

I should be reading. So I rummage into my book bag and I pull out a book called "The Secret Garden". (A/N: Penelope also read this book in my other story called "The Princess of Light and Darkness".) I remember that Grandma gave me this book when I turned 11. It's one of my favorites. She even put a note in it that said, "To Penelope, my sweet granddaughter. I hope you like this book! I remember reading it to your mother when she was a little girl like you. And you will always be my only and my favorite granddaughter. Love, Grandma."

I think this book is really special. It reminds me when Grandma first gave me this book on my birthday. And when I read it, I imagine the story in my mind…

I begin to read the book and I hear Riku whisper, "What are you reading, Penelope?" I look at Riku and smile. "I'm reading "The Secret Garden". My grandma gave me the book when I was little." I whisper back.

"I think it's a really good book myself. I have a copy ay home." Riku indicates. Then he goes back to schoolwork.

Riku is sweet. I just don't like seeing his violent side and I don't like it when I lose to him at something. But I think I could beat him at one thing- Blitzball. I AM Hollow Bastion's Blitzball Champion! Whatever school I was at, nobody could beat my team because of me. I'm that good at Blitzball. I don't know if this school has a Blitzball Team, but since it's a Private School, I doubt it does.

I can imagine playing Riku at Blitzball and I could FINALLY beat him at something. Or maybe…I couldn't…

The bell rings, snapping me out of my deep thought. Well…P.E. class is next...AND IF JOSHUA ANNOYS ME I WILL…Wait…Do something mean and it's the end of the line for me. Damn Joshua.

(P.E. Class)

"Okay class, today we're playing Blitzball! It'll be Boys vs. Girls." Then I hear some girls whine. (A/N: For my story, since I have no clue how Blitzball is played, it will basically be Soccer for this. I know I'm stupid about some games.) I smirk. "Lucky advantage for me, Part of the reason I got to come here is because of my high skill in sports."

I see Roselyynn, Yami and Saki smiling at me and I smile back. Aw man, Riku is going to lose so badly. "Boys, Girls, separate to two sides of the field," Ms. Merida orders.

The girls separate and the boys separate to twp sides of the field. Then the ball is placed in the middle of the field. "5…4…3…2…1…Begin!"

I go towards the ball and I go so quickly that no one catches up and then… "One point for the…Girls…? Wow…that was fast." I notice everyone is staring at me in shock. "What? Is something wrong?" I ask as I go back to my side.

"Who was the one who scored the point?" Sora asked. Roselyynn, Yami and Saki walk up to my side. "Penelope." Riku blinks in shock.

"That was Penelope?! How is that…?" Riku begins to ask but can't finish. "I'm actually pretty good at Blitzball." I say with a smile. "Um…okay?"

Then the rest of the game is like how it was the first round and the Girls have a MAJOR lead. Then... "Uh…Penelope, maybe for the next five minutes remaining in our P.E. time you can watch the game." Ms. Merida indicates.

"What? Why?" I ask in shock. "Its fine, your team has a HUGE lead of 32 to 0 so I think it would be best to sit out." Merida indicates. I frown before going to the side and "watch" the game, which in my definition is ignore.

In the last five minutes, the boys score 5 points and then… "Okay, P.E. is over! Everyone go line up." I'm quiet and then I hear a familiar voice say, "Look, its Peneloloser!" I remain quiet.

"Shouldn't she be called Sonic the Hedgehog?" A girl asks. "No, Peneloloser is better because Penelope is a complete idiot." Jo Dee states.

"The one saying idiot is the idiot!" I yell, remembering this song I heard once (A/N: If you've seen Cirno's Perfect Math Class, you know what I mean. I've seen two versions of it! :D).

"You're the idiot, moron." Jo Dee states before walking off with her Clique. I decided I'm skipping Lunch Break today.

(10.5 minutes later)

(Destiny Islands Beach)

I sit on the shore of the beach and I see the Play Island. I remain quiet thinking about the insults Jo Dee gave me.

I know none of the insults are true, she's just a bitch. But still, I feel really hurt. And I FINALLY beat Riku at something but still…I probably should be alone for a while.

(42 minutes later)

After a lot of thinking, I head back to the Main Building to get to the Music Room.

(18 minutes later)

(Music Room)

"Hello again class!" Ms. Ariel greets. I'm quiet as I think but my thoughts are interrupted by Melody.

"Penelope, maybe you can play the class a music piece?" I think for a moment and nod before going to the piano. "I'll play the song "Vector to the Heavens"." I indicate.

As I begin playing the song, I hear other instruments as if they're playing on their own. (A/N: Vector to the Heavens is the song used for Xion's Final Battle and I was sobbing as I beat Xion. Roxas: Who wouldn't cry? She died in my arms… Xion: Roxas don't be sad. Penelope: Where have I seen something like this before?) I feel as if my heart is breaking but, I don't see…wait, I cried when I beat Xion on 358/2 Days…I mean that was really freaking sad…

I continue playing the song, even if it is making my heart tear into pieces.

(A/N: *Sniffle* I admit it, I mourned over Xion's Death, even if she is a video game character! I was just so sad! Everyone else but Vanitas: *Sniffle* Vanitas: What is everyone crying about? Joshua: ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?! Vanitas: I don't see why everyone is crying. Joshua: *Has a very P.O. look on his face* THAT IS IT! *Types digits into his phone making random objects hit Vanitas* Vanitas: Ow…WHAT THE HELL?! Joshua: If you want to know, play 358/2 Days, now! Vanitas: You aren't the- Joshua: NOW. Vanitas: Okay, okay. Sheesh. (20 minutes later) Vanitas: *Quietly sniffles* Penelope: YOU'RE CRYING! I KNEW IT! Vanitas: Shut up. I'm not crying there's just something in my eye. Xion: I see you're crying Vanitas! CirciFox81314: We better get back to the chapter before a fight breaks out.)

I feel tears dripping from my eyes. Do I HAVE TO GET EMOTIONAL OVER A SONG, I MEAN REALLY! Oh no…Here comes the flashback…

(Flashback)

(Friday, November 13th)

(Nobody's POV at the moment)

Penelope is sobbing as she is beating Xion on her game. "XION! I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THIS! YOU ARE TO YOUNG TO DIE! YOU HAVEN'T EVEN LIVED FOR A YEAR!"

(End of flashback)

Damn it! This song reminds me of that fight. What bothered me is that at the beginning scene, Xion turned into Sora and she said, "You're next, Roxas…" And that creeped me out because it was like Sora and Xion are related! Wait…what? I mean, in a way, they're TECHNICALLY related because Xion is Sora's imperfect Replica and Sora is Sora and…Wait what is the point getting to?

I continue playing the song and I can hear sniffling in the background. This song is sad and beautiful and strangely, I can hear Zia crying.

"Why did you have to die Xion?! I cried so hard when I played the game!" Wait, ZIA PLAYED KINGDOM HEARTS: 358/2 DAYS?! WHAT THE…?

My song lasts for 10 minutes and 26 seconds. (A/N: When I wrote this part, I was listening to Vector to the Heavens Extended and around the end, the image of Xion vanished and it made me cry… Xion: *Sobbing* NOOOOOO! Yami: WAAAAAHHHH! Demyx: *Sobbing* (Yami and Demyx are hugging) CirciFox81314: Aww…Yami x Demyx moment! Penelope: And…BYE!)

The music stops as I finish playing the song and I look at everyone and suddenly, Riku hugs me and I start suffocating because he is squeezing me REALLY tight! "RIKU…I CAN'T BREATHE…" I moan.

Riku releases his embrace for a slight second to let me catch my breath and THEN HE HUGS ME AGAIN! I think Riku likes hugging me. And now I'm thinking of one of my favorite animes…WAIT WHAT?!

IT WAS BECAUSE OF VECTOR TO THE HEAVENS BECAUSE CLANNAD WAS SAD! (A/N: I swear where do I get my inspiration? Clannad is one of my favorite animes… And it was sad… Penelope: Really? You had to think of that? CirciFox81314: I had really odd urges… Joshua: Um…what? Penelope: Don't worry about it. Her urges make her think of REALLY odd things such as the Paffendorf Dances (I mean the TWEWY (Lucky Star Mix), Kingdom Hearts (Lucky Star Mix), Pikachu Paffendorf Dance, Vocaloid Paffendorf Dance and the Lucky Star Paffendorf Dance. I know I'm weird.) And… Joshua: Oh…I get it.)

I'm getting a strange feeling I'm going to be controlled to sing something… "ZIA! WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" I ask through thought. "I'm sorry…I haven't heard this so long…" I hear Zia indicate. "Heard WHAT?!" I ask angrily.

"The Clannad Theme." My eyes widen mentally. "NO! Everyone will cry!" I yell through thought. "Well that's your own fault for playing Vector to the Heavens, isn't it?" Zia asks.

"NO! YOU WILL NOT POSSESS ME AGAIN YOU…" Shit. She's done it. "Riku…please let go of me." Riku releases his grip and I feel as if I'm being controlled to clear my throat. I HATE IT WHEN ZIA POSSESSES ME! I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE IS ABLE TO DO IT!

I begin singing the Clannad Theme by FORCE. I cannot believe Zia would go this far. I mean, I like the theme, but REALLY? I can't sing this…but then, after a bit, I finish and I feel guilty.

Zia releases her curse on me and…RIKU HUGS ME AGAIN! It's like he WANTS to suffocate me!

"Riku, WHY DO YOU KEEP TRYING TO KILL ME?" I ask in worry. Riku releases his embrace. "Am I hugging you too tightly?"

You have to be kidding me. You have to be FUCKING kidding me. HE WAS UNAWARE OF HOW TIGHT HE WAS SQUEEZING ME?! Well…I can't blame him. I played a sad song and then I was possessed to sing the Clannad Theme so… Yeah…

I feel stupid.

(A couple of hours later…)

(5:00 PM)

I'm watching Clannad on my Computer. It's all thanks to Zia too…I feel stupid for playing Vector to the Heavens…

"Hey Penelope….That song you played earlier…It was really beautiful…" I HEAR Xion indicate. I remain quiet. "That was your battle theme, Xion." I think quietly.

"Oh, and Riku wanted to see you." Xion indicates. I tilt my head. "He did?" I ask.

"Uh-huh! He did." I blush. "Um…okay so do I go visit him in his dorm?" I ask. Xion nods.

"Uh…but I'm in the middle of an episode…" I indicate. Xion turns off my computer. "Now you have some free time, so GO!" Xion yells before shutting my laptop.

"But Xi-Xi…" I begin to say sadly. "Riku's been worried about you since you didn't come at Lunch, AND you seemed sad about something." Xion states.

I remain silent. "Penelope…PLEASE?" Xion asks. I sigh in defeat. "Oh okay…I'll go talk to him…"

(Dorm Hall)

The next thing I know, I'm out in the Hallway. I look at Xion who winks before closing the door. I'm silent. What if Riku will be mad? Well I have to face him so…here goes nothing…

(Outside Dorm 14)

I knock on the door to Sora and Riku's Dorm and I hear the door creak open and… "Penelope!" Then I feel as if SOMEONE is hugging me again.

"There you are, sweetheart! You had me worried." Riku indicates. I'm losing my breath. DOESN'T HE KNOW HOW TIGHT HE HUGS ME?!

"RIKU…SUFFOCATING…I…CAN'T…BREATHE…" I say as I lose my breath. Riku releases his hug and I am able to breathe again.

"Sorry about that!" Riku tells me. "Its fine, I guess…Little harm done."

Then Riku smiles. "You can come in. Sora is hanging out with Kairi. I hope he finally confesses that he likes her! Not that I used to have a crush on her or anything…"

I giggle. "You liked Kairi?" Riku nods. "It's hard to NOT like Kairi, but it's easy to not like Jo Dee."

I smile softly even though I shiver mentally at the thought of Jo Dee. I mean, am I an idiot? She was the reason I skipped Lunch anyway…

"Hey Penelope? Are you alright?" Riku snaps me out of my though. "Oh yeah…Just fine." I answer quietly.

"I DID say you could come in? Are you too shy?" Riku asks. "Am not!" I yell in anger. Riku giggles.

"Then come on!"

(Dorm 14)

Then I walk into Sora and Riku's dorm. I notice that Sora's area is a mess while Riku's area is much cleaner. "Uh…what happened?" I ask.

"Oh nothing. This happens often. I wish Sora would at LEAST clean up." Riku indicates in annoyance. I giggle.

"And what annoys me EVEN MORE is that I always have to clean Sora's mess up. It drives me INSANE!" Riku yells angrily. "Uh…why doesn't he clean up?" I ask. Riku didn't notice what I said.

"And he SAYS he'll clean up but NO he completely forgets!" I try to tap my Boyfriend on the shoulder in hopes that it'll snap him out of it. Sadly, my attempts fail.

"If he says he'll clean up, why doesn't he just clean up as soon as he says he'll clean up?!" Riku asks angrily. "Uh Riku, the wall can't answer that question."

Riku finally snaps out of it and blushes. "What…? Oh…Sorry!" Riku yells in surprise. Penelope smiles.

"Nah, it's alright. I've ranted about stuff before." I indicate. Riku tilts his head and asks, "You've ranted about stuff? How come?"

"Ugh…It's too hard to explain…" I say in annoyance. Then both Riku and I are quiet. "Well…you know Winter Break is coming up, right?"

"Yeah, so?" Riku smiled. "I was thinking about…" I cut Riku off. "I'm going back to Hollow Bastion to spend time with my Mom and my Grandma. I'm pretty sure Roselyynn, Yami and Saki are coming back too."

Riku blinks and sighs. "Oh…really?" Sheesh, has he become possessive over me or something?

"Uh yeah, why?" I ask. "Don't worry about it." Riku answers sadly.

I blink. "Okay? So maybe I…" I begin until Riku cuts me off.

"Maybe we can go out on Friday." What did he just SAY?! Oh no… I remain silent.

"Uh…why?" Riku looks offended. "What? You don't want to go out? Why?"

"I never said I didn't want to go out, I asked why you want to go out." I growl in annoyance. Riku indicates, "It's been a while since we last went out and our last date was on Friday the 13th at Prom."

Seriously? CAN'T HE WAIT UNTIL VALENTINE'S DAY?! It was a couple of days ago.

"Hey Riku…We didn't go out that long ago…" I indicate. Riku stares at me in shock before glaring. "So? You've been mostly avoiding me today." Riku states.

I blame Jo Dee.

"Riku, I kind of want to go back to watching my Clannad episode." I indicate. Riku tilts his head.

"You've seen Clannad?" Wait…HOW DOES HE…? Has he watched Clannad?

"Yeah, I've seen it." I answer. "I watched it with Sora and Kairi last summer." Riku tells me.

Ah. I don't get WHY he'd watch it. No matter. I should get back to what I was doing.

"Okay? Well I'm going to go back to my dorm." I indicate before ALMOST leaving the room until something gets my arm.

"Hey…Why are you leaving so soon?" I hear Riku ask sadly. "Isn't it obvious?" I ask in annoyance.

I look at Riku and he seems rather…sad. I KNOW what's wrong, but he REALLY doesn't need to interfere with me leaving…Or does he want something?

"Penelope…maybe we can get some Sea-Salt Ice Cream?" Riku asks. What is…oh wait; it's that Ice-Cream Bar that Axel, Roxas and Xion like, right?

"Why?" I ask in anger.

Riku looks upset. "Do you hate me or something? I was just asking if you wanted to get Ice-Cream or not." Sheesh, he REALLY must enjoy taking time off my schedule. Damn it, I don't have time for this.

"I don't hate you. I'm really just not in the mood for Ice Cream right now." I growl. "You're just saying that so you can avoid me again!" Riku yells.

I think he just read my mind.

(A/N: I know I shouldn't put this in NOW, but I wish Penelope was nicer to Riku. She still hasn't warmed up to him yet, so she's still really cold. And Penelope doesn't hate Riku either, she just gets annoyed when he's with her 24/7 and it makes her want to punch him. So…That is all.)

"…I know…I bet you're mad I said that…" I say quietly. Riku hugs me again after releasing my arm and his head is resting on my shoulder. And I hear soft sniffling and I realize I made Riku cry.

I didn't mean it! I swear he can be such a crybaby. Not that he cries much or anything…And now that I think about it, it's usually my fault he starts crying.

"Penelope…I'm trying to be a good boyfriend, but I don't know why you hate me…" Riku says softly. Didn't I tell him I didn't…wait…?

I remember something. I DID make up to Riku one time in Music Class when my true Light shined…And I still act like a black-hearted bitch so maybe…

"You did nothing wrong, Riku. It's my fault for being so cold all the time." I indicate. "What do you mean?" Riku asks me.

"Maybe we can get some Sea-Salt Ice Cream." I answer. Riku slowly releases his embrace. "Really? Okay!" Riku says happily.

(A/N: SORRY FOR THIS AGAIN, but strangely, Penelope kind of reminds me of Tomoya from Clannad. I don't know why, they really don't have much in common, but still…It's weird. Don't mind me; let's just get back to the Chapter!)

Riku smiles at me before he holds my hand as we leave.

(17 ½ minutes later…)

(Destiny Islands- Play Island- Paopu Fruit Tree)

(Riku's POV)

Penelope and I are watching the sun slowly set as we eat our Sea-Salt Ice Cream. What I don't understand is why Penelope has been so cold lately? Jo Dee has been meaner to her than usual as well…

And I wish I could spend more time with her…because over Winter Break, my Parents were going to stay for Christmas, but then this important business trip came up, and now I'm unable to spend time with them. And Penelope said she'd go back to Hollow Bastion for Christmas, but I'm worried she won't come back to our school.

"Riku…I'm sorry if I keep being really mean…I know I skipped Lunch and the reason was because I wanted to be alone after Jo Dee was mean to me again…I swear she just wants…to get rid of me."

I look at Penelope in surprise. Jo Dee has been being mean to her again and she didn't tell anyone in the first place…She must have been too scared to say anything.

"Penelope…Is that why you were being so cruel earlier?" I ask. Penelope nods.

"I've always been bullied over my good looks and the things I like. That's why I usually stay in my shell. When I was little and people were being mean to me, Roselyynn, Yami and Saki defended me. I knew I could trust them as friends, and I was right. When I was coming here to this school, I was scared the same things would happen to me like usual, so I was more hostile than usual because I felt as if I didn't belong with everyone else. When I met you guys…I thought that you would be mean to me, so I decided to avoid everyone…But then…it was different than I thought…" Penelope tells me.

I didn't realize that her life was that cruel to her.

"Penelope…I didn't know that life was that hard for you…" I say sadly. "It isn't your fault; you've probably never had as hard of a life as I have." Penelope indicates.

"So what? I don't get why Jo Dee is always so mean to you." I say to Penelope.

Penelope's eyes softly shine. "She's jealous that I get to be with you, that's why. She just wants you to be hers, but not because she loves you. It is all in the matter of popularity."

I sigh. "By now, Jo Dee doesn't quit bothering me. She has been annoying me since Kindergarten."

I look at Penelope. "She's probably become obsessed with you by now." Penelope indicates.

I go silent for a minute and I see the sun at it's lowest as the moon starts to appear. "Look…isn't the sunset beautiful today?" I ask.

Penelope looks at the sunset as well. "Yeah…maybe we should be getting back now." Penelope answers as before she finishes her Ice Cream.

I take my last bite of it as well before heading back to the Main Islands to the School grounds.

(1 hour later)

(A/N: Let's change something for a bit, shall we?)

(Dorm 14)

Sora and I are both ready to go to bed but first…

"Hey Sora, have you told Kairi you like her yet?" Sora looks at me and blushes. "Uh...no…?"

"Sora, you've had a crush on her for YEARS now. What if you never tell her?" I ask. Sora is turning red. "Sorry…I WAS going to tell her but I didn't get the chance to." Sora answers.

"You always say that." I indicate. "Do not!" Sora yells. "Well you spent time with her today, so why didn't you tell her?" I ask.

"I didn't get the chance to because Kairi began to hang out with Selphie, Naminé and Olette so I had nothing to do!" Sora moans.

"Ah. I'm going to get some sleep. Goodnight, Sora!" I say before getting in bed. "Night Riku." Then the lights turn off before I fall asleep.

(Dorm 13)

(Penelope's POV)

I feel no guilt right now. I admitted to Riku that I had a really hard life, and I was worried about his reaction, but he felt bad for me. And maybe…I can be a BIT nicer?

Well not to Joshua or Vanitas (Well, maybe I'll be nicer to Vanitas). I still hate them! I wonder how tomorrow will turn out for me.

(Time skip to Friday)

(Nobody's POV at the moment)

(Keyblade-Weapon Mastery Class)

Everyone was silent as Roselyynn, Yami and Saki went up to the front of the class. They apparently acquired the Keyblade after regaining memory.

Light flashed and their Keyblades appeared. Roselyynn wielded the Divine Rose Keyblade, Yami wielded the Mysterious Abyss Keyblade and Saki wielded the Sweetstack Keyblade.

Everyone gasped. "YAY YAMI!" Demyx shouted. Then the three girls went back to their seats.

Penelope was glaring at Joshua like usual and then… "Penelope, Joshua, will you please show a Battle Example outside for the class?" Mickey asked.

Penelope's eyes widened. "AW COME ON! WHY DO I HAVE TO BATTLE HIM? Penelope angrily shouted.

"You were looking at him." Mickey answered.

Penelope sighed.

(D.S.H.S. Field)

Penelope had Leviathan summoned and she hoped her battle wouldn't end like the first one did.

"Okay…begin!"

Penelope glared at Joshua and he smirked at her. "What's wrong? Are you too afraid to fight?" Joshua asked.

"No, I hate you." Penelope answered.

(Battle begins)

(Battle Theme: Working Together (A/N: It WAS going to be the battle theme for the End of the World from Kingdom Hearts, but I decided to use this instead!))

Penelope waited for Joshua to attack and apparently Joshua wanted her to attack first. "Not this again!" Penelope thought to herself.

"Fine, I'll go first. FIRE!" Penelope shouted and fire went towards Joshua. Penelope thought it would hit him but then she remembered something and Joshua sidestepped and the fire hit a tree.

Penelope got P.O. "That's it!" Penelope quickly charged and strung a combo and Joshua managed to avoid each attack and he struck Penelope with Light.

"OW!" Joshua giggled. "You're really stupid when it comes to attacking, kind of like a Bull when it charges."

Penelope glared. "SHUT UP!" Penelope yelled before a dark aura shrouded her and she blasted a Dark Firaga spell at Joshua. Joshua had to quickly dodge.

"Sheesh, I didn't know you could do THAT." Joshua stated.

(A/N: So what just happened? Penelope is the Guardian of Light, Balance and Darkness so the dark part of her ability activated her dark side.)

"So what? It IS a part of my abilities, moron." Penelope indicated with annoyance.

Joshua then stuck another beam of Light at Penelope. "Nnn…QUIT IT!" Penelope growled angrily.

"I can't. This IS a battle, isn't it?" Penelope got highly irritated. "Quit taunting me!" Penelope growled.

"Me? Taunting you?" Joshua asked as if he didn't know. Penelope got really mad and an aura of light and darkness shrouded around Penelope.

"That. Is. IT!" Penelope yelled before shooting beams of light and darkness at Joshua. She managed to take major damage off of him.

"Alright you two, that's enough." Mickey indicated.

(Battle and Battle Theme ends)

"You're kind of strong, but I wasn't using my full power on you." Joshua indicates. Penelope sighs. "I knew that. I don't know my full power yet either." Penelope says softly.

(I hour later)

(Destiny Islands- Play Island- Secret Place)

Penelope stared at the walls of Sora, Riku and Kairi's Secret Place. As usual, drawings from the past were there? But how DID the drawings get there?

It could have been a part of the past. But the past was still frozen. Penelope then began to question why she had to keep memories away from everyone. It was opposite of what Naminé did with Sora's Memory.

Penelope was silent before muttering, "If I'm a part of this world now…Why can't I remember about the World I lived in? Were my memories sealed too?"

Penelope then said, "Now I know how Roxas and Xion used to feel about not knowing who they are…"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Penelope?" Penelope heard Riku ask, which startled her.

"EEK! Where did you come from, Riku?! You scared me!" Penelope cried. Riku giggled. "You ran off all of the sudden! Besides, aren't we going on a DATE today?" Riku asked.

Penelope was quiet. "What? I don't think I agreed to that." Riku pouts.

"Aw come on! Can we please go on a date? Please?!" Riku asks. "Riku…I'm not in the mood…" Penelope answers.

"Then you must be too scared to go on a date with me." Riku states. Penelope blinked. "What?! I AM NOT SCARED!" Penelope shouts.

"Okay, so will you go out with me?" Riku asked. Penelope nodded. "Okay, let's go bowling tonight!" Riku indicated before walking off.

Penelope smiled until she realized something. "I think he just used REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY on me!" Penelope yelled angrily.

(A/N: Joshua: *Giggling* Penelope: Shut it, moron. It's not funny! CirciFox81314: Uh…I thought you guys weren't supposed to appear in Author's Notes now… Joshua and Penelope: What? CirciFox81314: …)

(5:00 PM)

(Dorm 13)

Penelope was humming softly to Xion's Theme (A/N: It's sad yet pretty.) as she got ready for her date with Riku. She wasn't wearing formal clothing though. She wore a purple short skirt, a white tee shirt with purple lining, purple tennis shoes and white knee socks. Penelope also had her hair tied up into two ponytails.

Then there was a knock at the door and Xion answered it. "Hiya Riku! You kept Penelope waiting!" Xion indicates.

Penelope blushed. "What? You know how patient I am, Xion!" Penelope snapped. Xion giggled. "Of course I know! I was just messing with you, Penelope!" Xion indicated.

Riku smiled. "Well c'mon, Penelope! Our bowling game awaits!" Penelope smiled. Then the couple walked out of Dorm 13.

(Outside of Dorm 13)

Riku and Penelope were holding hands and walking out of Penelope's Dorm until a voice said, "Hey Penelope, be careful with bowling against Riku. He's really good!"

Penelope and Riku turned to see Sora.

"Sora, we're just playing a friendly game." Riku indicated. "You know how riled up she gets when losing to you, Riku. AND I want to come too!" Sora moaned.

Penelope sighed. "Sora, it IS our date." Sora looked sad. "Aw come on! Can I please come?! PLEASE?!" Sora asked.

Riku thought for a moment and then looked at Penelope. "Can he come too?" Riku asked Penelope.

Penelope rolled her eyes and sighed. "Alright, he can come too!" Sora smiled. "YAY!"

(1 hour later)

"Riku…I THOUGHT ONLY SORA WOULD COME!" Penelope yelled at her boyfriend angrily.

Apparently, Axel, Roxas, Xion, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Vanitas, Kairi and Naminé ended up tagging along as well and Penelope was really mad.

"Sorry, don't blame Sora for being Sora!" Riku indicated.

Penelope glared at Sora. "Ugh. Let's go bowling…"

(Destiny Islands Bowling Alley)

"Alright. We're here. Yay." Penelope said in annoyance. "Hey Riku, Rox, Xion and I are going to play a separate game." Axel indicated.

"So are Terra, Ven, Van and I." Aqua indicated. Riku smiled. "Okay! I'll pay for it."

Penelope looked at Sora, Kairi and Naminé. "What are you guys going to do?" Penelope asked as the group walked in. "We're going to be Cheerleaders!" The three answered in sync.

"Yeah? Good for you." Penelope growled.

(1 and 1/2 HOURS LATER)

Riku and Penelope were playing their 5TH FREAKING bowling game. Why? For one thing, the games kept going by too freaking fast AND they kept tying and at this point, Axel, Roxas and Xion along with Terra, Aqua, Ventus and Vanitas were watching their game as well.

Penelope hoped she'd win (A/N: Sadly, that's not gonna happen.) this game.

"You go first Penelope." Riku said to Penelope. Penelope smiled. "Alright! Here goes nothin."

Penelope rolled the ball and it struck down eight pins. Penelope smiled before going again and…she hit one pin.

"I got nine! Okay, your turn Riku!" Riku smiled before focusing and then throwing his ball and he got a STRIKE!

Riku smiled. Penelope's eyes widened. "Shit. I hope the rest of the game doesn't end up like this."

Poor Penelope was wrong. Strangely, Penelope kept getting 9 pins and Riku kept surprisingly kept getting strikes sooner or later, it was down to the last turn.

Penelope sighed before closing her eyes and rolling the ball, and…she got a strike!

Penelope let out sigh in relief. She then looked worriedly at Riku and thought, "I know he'll kill me if I do this, but I have no choice, really." Penelope closed her eyes before tripping Riku, and, he dropped the bowling ball, which rolled towards the pins and...

RIKU GOT A STRIKE AGAIN!

Everyone else began cheering and Penelope went silent as Riku got up. "Wow, Riku! That's the first time you ever got a Perfect Game!" Sora yelled.

"Yeah, I'm kind of surprised myself! Penelope did well herself…Wait…where's Penelope?"

(Destiny Islands- Play Island- Secret Place)

Penelope managed to teleport (she used her psychic powers for the first time in a while.) to the Secret Place and…she was crying?

(A/N: Well THAT was unexpected! She would've just punched Riku or something! No seriously. I'm not kidding.)

"Damn it! He's always better than me at almost everything! I'm just so freaking TIRED OF IT!" Penelope angrily shouted before throwing a rock, which hit Destiny Island's Keyhole (That door).

Penelope still was upset and more tears dripped down her face.

"Hey Penelope, what's wrong? You just left all of the sudden." Penelope turned and saw Riku and snarled, "What are YOU doing here?"

Riku had no clue what was up with Penelope at the moment. "Hey…What's wrong?" Riku asked.

Penelope didn't answer, but she turned away, trying to hide the tears in her eyes. In response, Riku walked over and looked at Penelope's sad face.

"Why are you crying? You're stronger than that!" Riku indicated. Penelope sniffled. "So? I've seen YOU cry before." Penelope told her boyfriend.

Riku instantly blushed. "HEY! Don't say that!" Riku yelled. Penelope giggled.

"I think I'm calmer now by your reaction, Ri-Ri." "DON'T CALL ME THAT." Riku growled.

"Oh…sorry? Anyway, I was wondering…I remember I brought one of my Wii Games here with me to school, but I left my Wii at home so maybe I can play it at your house?" Penelope asked.

"Sure! How about we go back to school to go get the game?" Riku asked. Penelope nodded. Then the two headed back to school.

(52 minutes later)

(Destiny Islands- Darkness Manor- Foyer)

(Penelope's POV)

"Hey Penelope, mind telling me why you brought your DS, your DSi, your 3DS and all your games as well?" Riku asked.

I blush. "In case I rage quit on my game again, I brought these just in case I wanted to play something else." Riku got close to my face and asked, "Are any of them two player?"

"Yeah. Why?" I ask in annoyance. "Just wondering, anyway, come on, Penelope!" Riku then got a hold of my arm and we went to the Games Room.

(Darkness Manor- Games Room)

I was quiet as I ejected Super Smash Bros. Brawl from Riku's Wii and I put my game in.

"Hey Penelope, what's your game called?" I suddenly hear Riku ask.

"Oh, my game? It's called Xenoblade Chronicles." I answer. "I've heard of that. Sora has the game." Riku indicated.

I look at Riku and begin playing the game for a while until I get to the specific part I can't beat. (A/N: It's the first boss. It took me a while, but I finally beat him. HE IS SO DANG HARD!)

"UGH! That stupid boss! Why does he have to be so damn hard?!" I angrily ask.

"Hey? Do you need help?" Riku asks. "Nah. I can beat this boss myself!" I answer.

"Alright, but just know I didn't warn you." Riku indicates.

(30 MINUTES LATER. (A/N: WHAT THE…?! Well, that must be taking a while.))

It's already taken me…I dunno, I lost track of how many times I've tried to best the stupid boss by now. Riku's also vanished, so I'm left alone.

I about attempt the boss battle again until I hear, "Hey Penelope!"

Then I see Sora and Riku in the doorway. "Riku, why is Sora here?" I ask.

"Invited him. Why? Is it a PROBLEM I invited him, Penelope?" Riku asks, scaring me a little.

"Oh, uh…no?" I answer. Riku smiles. "Okay, it better not be!" I blush.

"Damn it! Why is he so freaking hot?!" I think mentally before I realize what I just thought.

"Oh my Keyblade…I AM STARTING TO BECOME A FANGIRL!" But I don't realize Sora beat the boss for me until I hear Sora say, "All you have to do is activate the chain attacks by clicking down twice on the remote. Since you were so deep in thought, I took the opportunity to beat Metal Face for you so here you go!"

I go quiet as Sora hands me the remote.

"Hey Penelope, do you want to watch some anime or something?" Riku suddenly asks.

"Oh…yeah, okay!"

Tonight is going to be longer than I anticipated.

(A/N: *Pant pant* Man that took a LONG time! But I'll say one thing, this is the last time the Author's Notes will be extremely long.
