Author's Note: Here's chapter 21! What did Sora plan for Kairi? How will Riku's date with Marissa go? Find out right now! Oh, and review too!
Chapter 21: A Night to Remember Riku's POVI stood there straightening up my clothes right in front of he door to Marissa's house. I also had a bouquet of flowers. I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Her mom answered and I told her, in Spanish, that I was here to pick up Marissa for our date. Her mom called her and Marissa came down looking all dressed up. Boy, she looked hot right now.
We walked along the streets of Mexico City. It was only 4:30, so it wasn't dark. I didn't want to stay out too late, so we decided to go to dinner earlier than normal. We sat at a table in the same restaurant that I asked her out in. I knew that she was Mexican, but I decided to give this a try.
" So, do you speak English?" I asked.
" Yep."
" Whoa!! You really do speak English!"
" I'm bilingual. I speak Spanish and learned English from my previous boyfriend, who was vacationing here from California for two weeks." Marissa said simply.
" You speak the English perfectly." I blushed.
" Thanks."
" Marissa!" I heard another girl's voice from behind me.
" Vamenos!" Marissa said as the girl came and sat next to Marissa. The girl actually looked kind of hot.
" So, who's this?"
" This my friend, Laura. She said she was really interested in meeting you. Um, Laura, this is Riku. She speaks English too."
" Really?" I asked in shock.
" Yep." Laura answered.
" Que la gustaria beber?" The Mexican waitress asked us in Spanish.
" La taza de root beer por favor. Y tu, Riku?" Laura asked.
"La…taza de…Pepsi por favor." I struggled to speak in Spanish.
" La taza de Sprite." Marissa said.
" Bien." The waitress left with our orders.

Sora's POV
I walked outside on the patio to make sure everything was perfect for mine and Kairi's date. I wrote a note and had someone deliver it to her. Hope fully she got it, because I worked hard for this and paid a waiter and a chef $100 each just to cook and serve us dinner. I grinned at the sight of the patio table outside of a fancy restaurant. It was all set up with a candle in the middle.
" Perfect." I said to myself. " As for Kairi…"
Kairi's POV
I was lying on the bed watching Spongebob in Spanish just right after I took a shower. I heard a knock on the door, but when I went to answer it, there was no one there, but there was an envelope and it said it was for me. I opened it up and it said to meet someone at the patio of the fancy restaurant that was here in the hotel. It also said to dress up. What was this person planning? Oh well, I can't say no to an offer.
I changed into some nice looking clothes, grabbed my card key and walked over to the patio near the fancy restaurant. It was 7:30, so I was on time, but I didn't see anyone. Instead, I saw a table for two, with a candle in the center, and a cherry blossom tree right beside it. I sighed and stared at the table. I'm surprised that the person that planned this wonderful dinner wasn't here. Or were they?
" You finally made it." I turned my head and saw Sora leaning against the door. I blushed and put my hair behind my ears. " I've been expecting you."
" You've been planning this?" I asked in shock. He grinned and nodded. " This really nice!"
" So, shall we eat?" Sora asked.
" You bet."

Riku's POV
The waitress came back with our orders. Marissa ordered Fish Tacos, Laura ordered Chicken Enchiladas, and I ordered 3 orders of spicy enchiladas. Once I got my enchiladas, I began to gorge them down like they were going to run away from me if I don't eat them quickly. I also asked for a bottle of EXTRA SPICY sauce and poured it all over my enchiladas. I then started to eat. The enchiladas were REALLY SPICY, but I was able to handle them, I could handle any kind of spicy food. I continued to gorge down my food.
" Riku, slow down." Marissa suggested. I blushed with embarrassment.
" So, Riku, tell us about Destiny Islands." Laura asked me.
" Well…" I began to say, but I felt a bubbly sensation in my stomach. " Excuse me for a moment." Before I knew it, I was rushing into the bathroom.
5 minutes later
" Sorry, you were saying?" I asked as I sat back down.
" You were going to tell us about Destiny Islands." Marissa answered.
" Right." I said and began to talk about Destiny Islands.

Kairi's POV
" So, how's your meal?" Sora asked me.
" It's really nice, thanks." I said as I continued to eat. " How long were you planning this?"
" Well, at first I wanted to 'take' you out, but then Riku suggested that I just 'make' ourselves a date."
" A date?" I asked while blushing.
" Yeah. Something like that."
" Well, I love this more than anything." I grinned and put my hand on top of Sora's.
" Hey, did you want to take a walk around the town?" Sora asked.
" Sure." I agreed as I stood up.
We left the patio and started walking along the streets. It looked really nice outside. The restaurants, shops, and trees were all lit up. The stars were out tonight, so it looked really beautiful. As we walked, Sora grabbed me by the hand and we walked together hand-in-hand. We also saw a bunch of booths in the streets and a dance floor. I guess it was street fair because I could also see people buying things too. Sora and I decided to check it out. There was booth that we walked by that was selling pies. We decided to share a slice of pecan pie. I took the pie over to a table that near a cherry blossom tree. I love cherry blossoms, I forgot to mention that. As we ate it, we listened to the music that was playing. A slow song then came on and people began to slow dance.
(A/N: The song that's going to be played is "Kissing You" from the Romeo and Juliet movie. It's played during the party.)
Pride can stand
A thousand miles
The strong will never fall
But watching stars without you
My soul cries
" Kairi?" Sora asked me.
" Yeah?"
" Did you want to dance?" Sora grabbed a hold of my hand. I felt like my heart was going to drop.
" Sure." I blushed.
I followed Sora onto the dance floor. I put his arms around my waist and I put my hands on his shoulders as we began to dance. I wasn't that close to him, but as we danced, he pulled me in closer to him. It was almost like he was pulling me into embrace. I rested my head on his shoulder as we danced under the cherry blossom tree.
Heaving heart is full of pain
Love, love
The aching
'Cause I'm kissing you, love
I'm kissing you, love
" Kairi, I have to tell you something." Sora said as we continued to dance.
" Yeah?"
" I've…always liked you, no, I've always really liked you, no, no!" I broke out of our embrace as I could hear Sora getting frustrated. " I've always loved you!" Sora said as he wrapped his arms around me again. I was so shocked I couldn't move. " Ever since 9th grade."
I continued to stare, but then being the shocked person I am, my eyes started to wonder around wondering if I'm dreaming or not. My eyes then wondered right back into Sora's. I stared at Sora as he slowly leaned in and gently kissed me on the lips. I became spaced out. Sora kissed me? I looked back into his eyes and he placed his hand on my cheek. My shocked looks turned into a grin.
" I always loved you too." I said softly.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Sora grinned and then slowly pulled me into a passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and made the kiss more passionate. Sora massaged my back as we danced a bit. I broke the kiss after a few seconds and touched my lip slightly. My first kiss? I couldn't believe it! I embraced Sora as tears rolled down my cheeks. Then, I grinned and rested my head on Sora's shoulder as we continued to dance. This was so far the best night of my life.
'Cause I, oh, I'm kissing you
I'm kissing you, love
It was getting late, so we decided to head back to the hotel. Once we got there, Sora walked me up to mine and Selphie's room. I gave him one quick kiss before going into my room. Selphie didn't seem too cheerful at the moment. I wonder why? I sat on my bed and began to change out of my clothes and into my pajamas.
" Where've you been?" Selphie asked out of the blue.
" Out…on a date."
" Ooh, who was the lucky guy?" Now Selphie was getting interested.
" Sora." I blushed.
" Oh my gosh! How'd it go?"
" Well, we had dinner, and we went dancing, and…"
" And what?" Selphie was going nuts.
" He kissed me!"
" Oh my gosh! It's about time! I can't believe he asked you out and kissed you!" Selphie and I were now jumping for joy.
