Chapter 21
Destiny Island Pier
Maria opened her beautiful navy blue eyes only to find that she was alone and not wrapped in Leon's arms she rubber her left eye and let out a very soft yawn. She began to wonder where he had gone off to; she got off her bed and checked in the bathroom.
"Anyone in here?" she said as she slowly poked her head in but to her disappointment he wasn't in there. She then headed downstairs in the hopes that he'd be down in the living room or perhaps the kitchen getting a snack or something.
"I guess he left," she said grabbing a water bottle from out of the fridge and headed back upstairs to her room she got onto her computer and began checking her e-mail as well as surf the web Maria was a mean typist probably the second best in the world but she never took that comment seriously.
"I'm becoming bored of this she said as she shut down her computer, she threw herself back onto her bed and just laid there looking out her window at the setting sun which was a bright orange-red color she was just about to close her eyes when she was hit on the cheek by a small grey pebble she took hold of it and examined it before going over to the window to see who had thrown.
"WHO THE F……" she stopped herself suddenly when she seen who had thrown it.
"Hi Maria," Kairi said happily with a smile on her face, "sorry about the pebble, I didn't hurt you did?
Maria dropped the pebble out the window it landing in the soil around the roses, "No, I'm fine anyways what's up Kairi? The blue haired girl asked.
"I was wondering if you and Leon would be interested in coming to the Destiny Island Pier with Sora, Riku, and I," Kairi asked
"I would like too, but, I don't know where Leon is at the moment," Maria said to the red head
"Leon is right there on the porch swing asleep," Kairi said pointing to the sleeping from of Leon. In an instant the blue haired girl raced downstairs and was at the front door in no time, Kairi was surprised at how fast she was.
Maria looked on as Leon slept on the porch swing, his head resting on his arms with on of his legs dangling on the porch concrete. The blue haired girl was glad that she had found him. She leaned in closer to him and whispered into his ear. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled once his blue haired girlfriend came in to view he outstretched his arms and caught her in a hug. They were both laying on the swing which couldn't handle how much they were rocking it; it came crashing down on the floor.
"Oops," they said together
Kairi laughed at the two, "so now that you know where Leon is, do you guys want to come with us?" the red head asked again.
"Yeah, I can drive us there," Maria said happily
"Cool," Kairi said as she sped away on her air track rollerblades, "I'll be back with Sora and Riku"
Maria ran inside and grabbed her cars keys, Leon glanced at the jangling keys with interest, "I never knew you could drive," he said.
The blue haired girl smiled, "of course I can, but I enjoy getting a ride with Fayt so I don't do much driving"
"I see," he said
Maria opened the garage door revealing a very nice BMW volts wagon; she opened the driver's side and unlocked the other doors with the automatic lock. The couple got into the car; Kairi appeared again this time with Sora and Riku.
"How are we supposed to fit in that? Sora said pointing at the little car. Riku lightly backhanded the brunette teen, "don't be so rude," he said
The trio piled into Maria's tiny car which resulted in Sora lying on top of Riku and Kairi, "this isn't too bad," Sora said
"Well it is for us," Riku said as eh pushed Sora abnormally large show out of his face.
The blue haired girl started the car and began to back out of the driveway, she then turned the radio on the second the radio came on their ears were a very loud rock type song Maria quickly lowered it and blushed.
"Sorry about that I like to rock out loud sometimes," she said
"I think I'm deaf," Sora said covering his ears
Maria was giving directions on how to get to the pier thanks to Kairi. The light up ahead had just turned yellow and the blue haired girl wasn't in the mood to wait so she stepped on the gas and beat the light before it turned red.
"Are you crazy?" Leon asked
"What? I didn't feel like waiting," she said
Maria didn't hear the direction the red head had given her because she was too busy talking to Leon.
"TURN LEFT!" Kairi shouted
Maria made a sharp left turn just as the light turned red, the car screeched, everyone except for Maria and Leon let out a little screech of fear. Once they were back on track the blue haired smiled and apologized.
"Sorry guys," she said keeping her hands firmly on the steering wheel
"Gross your shoe just went into my mouth!" Riku said angrily
Kairi continued to give Maria the directions soon enough they came up to a brightly lit and lively pier. "Have you guys been here before?" Sora asked
"No, I never knew this place even existed," Leon said admiring the bright neon lights that were brightly lit. Maria stepped out of the car as did Leon; Sora flew out of the car once Maria had opened the door to let them out.
"You alright?" she asked
"I'm fine," he said picking himself up off the floor, you guys didn't have to push me out you know,"
"We know," Riku and Kairi said in unison
Leon grabbed hold of Maria's hand as they made their way to the pier the three followed from behind. Lots of people were enjoying all the pier had to offer which included a great selection of game booths, a snack bar, gift shops, carnival rides and the ocean view.
"This place is really nice and looks like a lot of fun!" Maria said happily
"What should we do first?" Sora asked looking around
"How about we play a few games," Kairi said looking at some of the games
Most of the games were pretty full and to crowded, a group of high school looking girls could be heard screaming with enjoyment and delight as they played while some of the others were cheering they're friends on which was pretty annoying. There was a test your strength booth which was being crowded by a bunch of immature guys some were acting rather childishly. Some were claiming that they got the bell all the way to the top and some were just acting plain stupid.
"What is with these people I know they're having a good time but really," Leon said as he continued to hold Maria's hand
"There's a game over there that's not to crowded," Riku said pointing to a shooting range game
"I wonder why this game isn't so crowded," the red head said as she made her way to it
The booth operator welcomed them kindly and asked how many were going to be playing.
"Five of us," Leon answered
"That's five fol please," he said
Each of them handed over one fol a piece to pay for the game; Kairi was the first one to try. Her aim was pretty off and she didn't hit much of the targets she did however win a consolation prize. Sora was a little better than Kairi he missed a couple of the targets, Riku was better at this than the two but he also missed a few of the targets. Leon missed only two targets.
"This game gets tricky towards the end," Leon said
"I think I can handle this just fine, I bet I can hit all the targets," the blue haired girl said with confidence and was also very sure of herself.
"I bet five fol you can't hit them all," Sora said digging into his pockets, everyone was so sure that Maria would miss one they all bet five fol including Leon.
"Watch and learn," she said picking up the gun
She closed on eye and took aim, firing the gun like a pro hitting every target that came into view, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty. Maria hit every single target without fail, the booth operator was very impressed as was everyone else, the blue haired girl won the grand prize which was a silver necklace with a gun hanging on it not to mention twenty fol.
"How's that?" she said looking at her friends
"Sorry we doubted you, but how are you so good at this?" Leon asked
"My father used to take me to the shooting range when I was younger, I was very interested so he taught me," she said, "And about that twenty fol, I think we'll use that to buy some food because I'm getting hungry"
"Fair enough," Leon said
Maria placed the toy gun back down onto the booth counter and took her prize respectfully and happily she placed it in her pocket. They rejoined the crowed of people and began to make their way to the food court. The blue haired girl watched some of the other people play the games with excitement. A certain thing caught her attention a little boy and girl playing a whack a mole game.
"That's not right, you have to time your hits," the little boy said to the girl
The little girl waited for the mechanical mole to pop up before she clobbered it with the toy hammer she cheered in excitement at her accomplishment.
"I did it, did you see that?" the little girl said happily
The blue haired girl smiled at the two something about that made her feel sad. Sora rushed over to the line followed by Leon and Riku, Maria and Kairi went to get a table.
The tables weren't exactly clean, some had gum on them and others were just plain dirty luckily the girls found a table near the railing on the edge overlooking the ocean that was clean enough.
"How are things between you and Leon?" Kairi asked placing her head in her hands; Maria wasn't expecting her to ask something like that.
"Everything's going great we have so much fun when we're together I really enjoy it. He always makes me laugh and he always listens to what I have to say he's a really great guy I should consider myself lucky," she said looking down into the dark ocean.
"That's good to hear, I'm glad for you," the red head said
"What about you? I've seen how you are with Sora," Maria said smugly
Kairi began to blush out of embarrassment, "It's not like that, Sora and I are just friends" she said calmly
"Really….?" Maria said
"Yes, really," said Kairi
"Well if you say so," the blue haired girl said dropping the subject, "Just make sure you don't wait to long, otherwise some other girl might get to him"
Kairi just smiled at Maria before looking into the star flooded sky. Maria checked the time on her cell phone because of the fact that the guys were taking quite a long time buying the snacks.
"Wonder what's keeping them?" Maria said to herself
"Well the line is pretty long," Kairi said pointing to the long line of talking people some of who were being obnoxious by talking loudly and acting stupid on purpose. The blue haired girl sighed heavily, "I really hate people who act like that, it annoying". Over in the snack line Leon, Sora, and Riku waited very patiently for their turn to order.
"This line is crazy, and I think a girl just groped me," Sora said
Riku sighed, "I feel sorry for the girl's hand. Leon couldn't help but let out a light chuckle. Sora looked at the two older guys angrily.
"Hey, what are you trying to say Riku?" the spiky brunette said
"Nothing," he said
"So how are things between you and Maria?" Sora asked smiling
Leon smirked, "things are going great between us, I really love being around her she's great," he said with passion.
The lined had moved up a little it was almost their turn in line. Sora couldn't help but notice that a particular girl with raven black hair keep looking at Leon. "Hey Leon that girl over there keeps staring at you, do you know her?" Sora asked. Leon's eyes widened at the person who was standing right in front of him.
"Hello Leon, long time no see," the girl said
Leon was a little choked he cleared his throat and returned the greeting, "Hello….Rinoa"
Sora and Riku looked at the girl then looked at Leon.
Maria and Kairi were still engaged in conversation, Maria noticed that the guys were coming back, "It's about time," she said. Sora was holding a tray full of cheesy nachos he failed to notice that there was a rotting apple core on the boardwalk floor he stepped on it and went flying into the air.
Maria and Kairi let out roars of laughter; Sora was on all fours he peered up at the two girls his hair was covered in nacho cheese and chips he did his signature smile, "anyone want any nachos?" he said pulling a chip out of his hair.
