"Don't do it," Kairi sobbed, crunching her fingers into his shirt, "I can't risk forgetting about you. We're meant to be together, Sora." His eyes glistened softly as he held her in his arms, "Fate will bring us back together; don't worry about it. We have to do this, Kairi. They know too much-- this is for the greater good of the universe." She held onto him tighter, "But I don't want to forget you..." Sora placed a hand on his chest, "Our hearts are connected. We're going to meet again someday. I'm going to find you."

"How are you so sure?" Sora sighed, "Because its us." She hung her head down, "How did it come to this? Our lives will be so different." Sora looked around him with fiery eyes, taking in the horrid scenery, "If we don't do what we have to do, the worlds will end up in ruins. Do you know what could happen if everyone had abilities? Now let's do this before he wakes up." Kairi looked at him one last time before whispering, "One more kiss... one last time?" A tear fell from Sora's eye, "I love you, Kairi. Don't you ever forget that." She nodded as he pulled her in for the most heartbreaking kiss, sudden light surrounding them.

Roxas gasped, trying to catch his breath afterwards. Namine placed a hand on his chest, "Roxas sweetie, are you okay?" He slowly nodded, trying to remember where he was after that vision. Ah, yes. They were still in Bodhum, celebrating Sora's birthday. They all sat at a table outdoors next to a bar, socializing and dancing. "Did you just have a vision?" Namine whispered softly. He nodded again, so Namine pulled him aside, "What did you see?"

"Sora and Kairi," He breathed, "They're going to get separated; Kairi's going to end up forgetting him, and..." Namine raised a brow, "And?" Roxas looked afraid, "Sora said the worlds could end up in ruins." Before Namine could respond, Selphie pulled on their arms and pushed them onto their seats, "Time to open Sora's presents!" Hayner tapped his chin, "Why are you excited? They're Sora's presents."

Selphie stuck her tongue out at him, "Does it bother you that I like to see my friends smile?"

"You guys didn't have to get me anything," Sora rubbed the back of his head nervously, only to find tons of presents shoved in his face. "There's some from your fangirls as well," Yuffie brought in another sac, "They told me to deliver it to you." Sora sweatdropped, "Uh, yeah, since I can't open all this in one night, I'll just open the ones you guys got me."

"Open ours, first!" Selphie and Wakka dragged a large present with them, neatly wrapped thanks to Selphie. It was tall, which made Sora curious. He looked at his girlfriend, and raised a brow, knowing she could read their minds. She mouthed, 'Guitar' to him, and his eyes widened, "Selphie, Wakka, no..." Wakka slapped his back, "Just open it, yeah?" Sora obeyed and ripped the paper, gasping in shock, "No way!"

"Yes way!" Selphie squealed, "We split the cost, and we know how much you've wanted an electric guitar!"

Sora looked a little teary, "But this costs so much..." In his hands, was a box, but had a clear wrapping that showed off his new beautiful Les Paul guitar, with a dark pattern in the corner. Now Tidus and Yuna handed him a present-- still large, but smaller than the guitar. "Want me to tell you what it is?" Kairi whispered. Sora shook his head, "Let them surprise me." Sora opened it, and found a shiny new skateboard with his name written in the back, and it was covered with memories he and his friends had shared ever since they started attendting Twilight Academy.

"Wow," Hayner whistled, "And I thought it was going to be something inappropriate; after all, it is Tidus." Everyone started clapping for Tidus as he bowed before them, but then pulled Yuna to him, "But Yuna paid for most of it!" Everyone boo'd and started throwing scraps at him for fun, giggling in the process. Hayner and Olette tossed him a smaller present. When he opened it, he punched a fist in the air, "Final Fantasy XIII! YES! And, oh my gosh, Kingdom Hearts III?! Hayner, this isn't even out yet!" (A/N: I had to. xD)

Hayner smirked, "You're talking to me, Sora."

After everyone else's presents, it was finally time for Namine and Roxas. Their's was the heaviest, and the most artistically wrapped. Namine was in on it, of course. Sora shook it, but he nearly dropped it, "Damn this is heavy! What is it?!" He asked eagerly. Roxas shook his head, "Open it." Sora did so, and found a technologic looking case with a lock. Roxas tossed him the keys, and Kairi placed a hand on his shoulder, "You're going to love it."

Sora jerked the key into the slot, and slowly opened the box. He closed his eyes and heard everyone gasp, so he snapped them open and gasped in disbelief, "Roxas, Namine, NO!"

Roxas grinned, "It's from my family back in Shinra, too. Namine designed it." Sora gripped the handle of his new sword, and stared at it in awe. It was bright blue, yellow and white in colour, just like his other one, but this time, this one was way more elaborate. It had more swirls to it, and it looked deadly. Tidus' jaw dropped open, "DAAAMN. Selphie, Wakka, your electric guitar just got pwned."

"This is..." Sora watched his sword glisten against the light, and felt its cold metal, "Thank you!"

"There's one more," Namine took a box from the table and handed it to Sora, "It's from mom and dad." Sora unwrapped it, and found a dark outfit inside. There was a note from his foster father, and read that these garments were no ordinary pieces of clothing. It was his old soldier uniform, still in perfect condition. "Sora's gonna look badass!" Rikku cheered. He smiled and looked up at the sky, thanking his parents.

Tidus jumped up on a table, "AND NOWWWW..." Hayner began a drumroll on the table, "ITS TIME... FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND'S PRESENT!" Everyone ooo'd with giggles. Sora blushed and looked at her, "You didn't have to get me anything, Kairi." She stuck her tongue out at him, "You're my boyfriend; of course I did." Sora suddenly flashed her a goofy grin, "So, uh, what did you get me?"

Now it was Roxas' turn to jump on the table with Hayner and Pence, joining Tidus as they began to sing, "Girl you know I-I-I, Girl you know I-I-I, I been feelin', wake up in the late night been dreaming about your lovin' girl! Girl you know I-I-I, Girl you know I-I-I, don't need candles and cake, just need your body to make... Birthday sex, birthday sex ohhhohohohhhhh!! G spot G spot G spot lemme hit that--" Some of the civilians started laughing with them, but stopped when the couple started getting angry.

"I-I think I'm just gonna give it to him in private, then." Kairi decided, blushing madly in the process. "Ow!" Tidus screamed in a freakish tone, snapping his fingers. Her friends awww'd in disappointment, but respected her decision. The rest of the night was spent partying by the shoreline, where a DJ was set up. There were teenagers everywhere, dancing to their hearts content. There was even some fire dancers for more entertainment.

By an hour past midnight, a bunch of people had crashed in the sand, snoring loudly. Everyone had gone to bed in their hotel, except Sora and Kairi, of course. "I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight," Sora let out a small laugh before interlacing his hand with Kairi's. She giggled, "Neither will I."

They walked towards the dome with the fireworks-- clearly it still wasn't off. The person controlling it was fast asleep with a blanket over their head, vulnerable to anything. The couple walked through the technologic, transparent barrier and was immediately surrounded by the colourful lights. They watched them in awe, admiring the fireworks and bright neon patterns. "Wish I could see everything from above," Kairi clasped her hands together.

Sora walked in front of her and bowed, extending his hand towards her, "Why don't we?"

She smiled before taking his hand. He immediately pulled her to his chest, and closed his eyes. They were quickly raised off the ground, and up to the top of the dome. "S-Sora!" Kairi gasped, "We're going to get--" He silenced her with a finger to her lips, "No one's watching." She grinned and snuggled closer to him, placing her hands around his neck, "Is this a dream? I can't believe any of this is real."

Sora laughed half heartedly and kissed her, "Did that feel real?"

"It's too good to be true," Kairi sighed, "I can't believe you're all mine." He held her tighter as they flew in circles, "There's no one else for me, but you." She began laughing, "You're so cheesy." He then looked at her seriously, "But it's true." It was quiet for a moment until Kairi began fumbling with her pockets, and pulled out a small, but long box. She gave it to Sora, who kept an arm around her waist while opening it.

It was a necklace with a silver crown, shining against the lights. Sora pouted, "Kairi, its beautiful, but how much did this--"

"It doesn't matter," Kairi took it from the box and placed it around his neck, "Happy Birthday, boyfriend." The brunette held the crown, "I'm never going to get used to you calling me that." She began to tease him, "Shall I start the pet names?" He shivered sarcastically, "Okay, nevermind!" It was quiet again, but this time Sora broke the silence, "Kairi, please excuse my dating skills. I haven't really done it before, to be honest, so I don't know how to act very boyfriendy. But I really do want to try; I want to show you how much I love you."

Kairi let out a soft laugh as he twirled her around in the air. She looked down at the beach and placed some of her hair behind her ear, "You're doing a great job so far." He flashed her a bright smile before leaning in to kiss her again, but a firework prevented him from doing so, "Ah, beautiful but deadly in here. Shall we leave?" Kairi nodded, and as Sora began to lead them out, another firework sent them slamming thorugh the transparent barrier and into the water outside. Sora's head plopped out of the water as he began screaming frantically, "Kairi, Kairi, where are you?! Are you okay?! Are you-- mmph!"

Someone had grabbed his leg and pulled him into the water. It was dark, and someone pressed their lips to his; he knew well it was Kairi. They both flicked their heads up for air and giggled. Someone called them from the shoreline; they spotted two figures, one of them in a white sundress-- obviously Namine. The other one must be Roxas.

They swam towards the land and shook themselves, trying to get the water out. Namine gave them some towels with worried looks. Sora accepted one, "You carry random towels with you?" Roxas shook his head, "I saw a vision of this happening." Kairi scrunched her hair and looked at Namine, "Something wrong?" She bit her lip, "Yeah. This isn't the only thing Roxas saw."

-

The four sat by the balcony of Sora and Roxas' room, staring at the beach while discussing the newly seen vision. Kairi twiddled her thumbs, "This again, huh?" Roxas rested his head on one of his hands, "It seems it hasn't changed from before." Namine hung her head down, "So I guess, we've been following the path to destruction." Sora scoffed, "Are you implying that me and Kairi getting together just brought us a step closer to our demise?"

"Dating or not," Roxas sighed, "It wouldn't have changed. It's our powers, Sora." Said brunette slammed his fist onto the table, "I really can't deal with this anymore. Nothing is going to happen, Roxas. I don't see any signs of the end of the world." The blonde narrowed his eyes, "We are the end of the world. By all means, this is our fault."

"No one's gonna find out about our powers; as far as I'm concerned, no one knows but us. And its going to stay that way. Now can we just live our happy lives without worrying about this?" Namine looked off in the distance, "That, we can do. But we also have to stay alert. We need to be ready for anything." Roxas groaned, "I was a normal teenager before this year started." Kairi's eyes saddened, "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault," Sora ran a hand through his hair, "It's not any of our faults. We were born like this, and we can't do anything about it. Let's just consider this as a little warning; keep our guard up, that's all. We don't need to tell anyone, and we don't need to worry. We're going to be just fine." He turned to his girlfriend, "No need to be scared, Kairi. And who exactly has the power to take us down? Roxas can see it, Kairi can read it, Namine can change their mind; I'll just act as your protective wall. We have a pretty kickass superhero squad here."

"Superheros destined to bring the worlds to ruins," Roxas laughed half heartedly, "Ironic."

After leaving Bodhum, classes started again back at the academy. Roxas still tried to train everyone's abilities every now and then, just in case. Kairi kept questioning Sora about Roxas' vision, fearing that they would be seperated. She began to stop asking when he had convinced her that no force in the universe could break them apart. He just loved her too much; not too much, but the perfect amount. He was like the ideal boyfriend, minus the lack of experience and the powers.

Kairi sat in the girls lounge one day, toying around with facebook again. It seemed Sora had changed his relationship status to 'in a relationship' ; Kairi smirked and began to comment.

Sora Strife is in a relationship. (a few seconds ago)

Kairi Hikari: aww Sora, you have a girlfriend? Why didn't you tell me?!

Sora Strife: LOL i love you ;)

She blushed; he had said it many times, but she could never get used to it. All those times she really wanted him to say it before, just seemed like nothing now. This was really happening; she and Sora were finally together. Thinking about it always made her feel all giddy inside. She then got a request to list Sora as her husband. She laughed; what a jokester. She accepted, of course. It was just for kicks.

Sora Strife and Kairi Hikari are married.

In under two minutes, there were 48 comments. Roxas was the first, "Godfather. First child." Then Selphie and some of the girls began complaining that they weren't invited. Tidus, on the other hand, advised them to use protection. Tch, typical Clearwater. On Sora's side of his account, a bunch of fangirls commented with sad faces, and some sarcastic best wishes. Some even took it seriously. Kairi rubbed the back of her head; what if people really did think they were married? Not that she'd mind, but...

"Why didn't you tell me you two were married?" Namine teased as she walked in with some sketchbooks in hand. Kairi sweatdropped, "Damn news travels fast here." Namine shrugged, "You're pretty popular, Ms. Hi-- pardon, Mrs. Strife. How are you my new sister?" Kairi giggled, "We really could pass as real sisters. We kinda look alike, but you're the prettier one."

"Ha, you're funny," Namine said sarcastically with a witty smile, "But I do agree with the real sister part; its just like Roxas and Sora. I swear they're twins. Are you sure Roxas is an only child?" Kairi tapped her chin, "Well, rumor in my family has it that he had a twin brother that died." Namine pouted, "How sad. And suspicious... I'll be sure to ask him about that later."

A knock was heard from the window by the entrance and Tidus and Wakka frolicked around while throwing petals, singing the bridal theme a little off tune. Kairi laughed and opened the window even more. She grabbed a football from a table and chucked it at Tidus who caught it but fell from the pressure. Sora laughed from the sidelines as he began walking in, "Ah, look at my wife, so very athletic and gorgeous."

"Look whose talking," Kairi teased as she placed a chaste kiss on his lips. People around them began whistling and clapping, then wandered off to their own business. Sora climbed in through the window and waved to his sister. "There's such thing as a door, you know." Kairi stifled a laugh as his arm snaked around her waist. Sora smirked, "Yeah, and there's such thing as being cliche. The window is way more romantic and badass. Only losers use the door."

And as if it were planned, Roxas just walked through the door. The couple giggled; the blonde was confused. "Why is the Strife couple laughing at me?" He asked his own girlfriend. Namine ran up to him and hugged him, "Oh, don't worry about it. What brings you here, Roxas dear?"

"Well," He got down on one knee, and began fumbling with something in his pockets. Sora slapped his eyes and laughed. Tidus and Wakka watched from the window, as well as a few people that were in the lounge. Namine was giggling; she knew Roxas well enough to know that he wasn't going to propose. This was just a slam against Sora and Kairi. "Namine, my one, my only," Roxas tried not to laugh when he pulled out a paper from his pocket, "Will you go with me to the Musician's Ball next week?"

Namine accepted the slip and began to read it. She pretended to get all teary and nodded, jumping into his arms. Tidus and Wakka ran in with the petals, tossing them in the air. Everyone cheered while laughing in the process. Just in the middle of it all, Sora got a text message from Marluxia. His heart stopped for a split second; the superior must've heard about the news a long time ago.

He read the text, and was ordered to meet them in the meeting room. Sora slid his phone shut and sighed; it was finally time to tell Marluxia off. "Sora, you okay?" Kairi asked. He nodded, "Yeah, I'm just gonna go quit the Organization." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving. Kairi stretched out her arm to discuss it with him, but he was already halfway out the door. She bit her lip, but smiled afterwards. Sora was tough-- handling Marluxia was practically nothing to him.

When Sora arrived, he had a smirk on his face which Marluxia despised. Zexion covered his mouth with his dark sleeve again. It was questionable why the boy wore a black sweater during summertime. "He knows why he's here," He stated the obvious. Everyone else in the Organization looked bored, yawning and narrowing their eyes. Sora walked towards the center and looked up at Marluxia, "Before you boot me out, I'd like to say I quit."

"Trying to make yourself look good for the record?" Marluxia scoffed, "You're the third one out. Why is everyone ditching us for meaningless girls?"

"Because," Sora turned serious, "This Organization is led by a fake." Terra and Ventus high fived and gave Sora a thumbs up. He continued, "Marluxia, this Organization just puts up an image that doesn't show who we really are. Parties, events, whatever. There's no love in it; you can never tell who wants you for popularity or just yourself. This is pathetic, its nothing but a superficial group. I'm pretty sure everyone else here agrees."

"Damn straight." Riku gave him a firm nod. Sora shrugged, "Guess I had to set things straight. Expel me, do whatever you want. At least I know what the real world is like. I know what love is like. You're just someone who seeks a position of authority."

"About time we had someone like you, Strife," Riku gladly jumped off his chair and slapped his back, "I'm leaving." Marluxia crossed his arms, "Why stand up now? Why join in the first place?" Ventus decided to speak, "Because you were intimidating. We were too scared, too unsure about what would happen if we left. But now we see that you're too scared to do anything. We're all leaving, Marluxia. And you're scared-- we can see it in your eyes."

The pink haired senior sighed, "Fine, do whatever the hell you want." Sora grinned before walking out the door, "I hope you learned something today, Marlie." And with that said, the Organization was over.

-

"Tidus, calm down, it's okay now." Sora slapped Tidus' shirtless back, but the blonde proceeded in hyperventilating in the corner. It was gym class, but this time, the class was ordered to meet at the indoor swimming pool. All the boys were changed into their blue uniform swimming trunks, and the girls were just too nervous to walk out. Sora, Riku and Roxas tried their best to comfort Tidus, who was still scared out of his wits.

It wasn't the water, no. You see, everyone in Twilight Academy needed to take a blood test earlier that day; there was a new disease going around called Geostigma, and the school board was just making sure their students were safe by taking blood samples. Tidus was horrified of needles; he still couldn't get over the fact that there was a bandage on his arm, and his actual blood was sucked out. "Tidus," Sora rolled his eyes, "Seriously, suck it up. It didn't even hurt that much. It's over now."

"That was hell." Tidus clutched his arm and let his lip quiver. Sora groaned and tried to endure his friend's whining; he never enjoyed people complaining. And now, he didn't like himself because he was complaining about complaining. Augh, life was confusing.

"Sora, are you okay?" Riku asked, "You look kinda pissed." Sora shook his head, "N-No, it's just..."

"Hey!" From afar, walking out of the changeroom, was Sora's girlfriend, dressed in her uniform tankini. She waved at him with a huge grin on her face, and she looked excited to go for a swim. "Damn." Tidus suddenly snapped his head up, "Have fun trying to calm your hormones to that." Sora rolled his eyes, "Please, I'm much too high for those kind of thoughts." Tidus twitched, "Okay, either you're on drugs, or you're gay."

"Or I just love my girlfriend too much," Sora walked up to Kari and gave her a hug, then turned his head to Tidus, "I'd wait forever for her." Tidus suddenly smiled softly, "Now that, I respect." Kairi aww'd and kissed his cheek, "You're the best, Sora." Before Sora could reply, the coach had blown his whistle and made everyone do some warm-up laps. Majority of them had already known how to swim, living on islands and all.

"Come on, Xion," Riku extended a hand towards the girl while he stood in the pool, "Don't be scared. The water's great, and I can help you with your strokes, if you'd like." The short dark haired girl nodded and slowly walked in, being held by Riku. Selphie squealed, "Xion and Riku, huh?" Roxas looked proud, "I'm happy for them. They're pretty cute together." On the other side of the pool, Tidus begged Kairi for a race. "Isn't your arm bothering you or something?" Kairi asked.

Tidus suddenly shivered, "Uh, yeah, right. Nevermind then." Sora chuckled and jumped into the pool, plopping his head up and shaking it. Kairi did the same, but on the lane beside his. "Say, why don't we have a little race?" Kairi asked with a competitive grin. Sora pouted, "Kairi, sweetie, let's not do something that will make you cry later." Kairi's jaw dropped, but she realized he was kidding, "Okay, fine, then why don't we make it a little more interesting, huh?"

"And by that you mean?"

She whispered in his ear, "A little contest between controlling water and super speed." Sora gasped, "But you're always the one against using powers in public!" Kairi shrugged, "It's okay, no one will notice. Coach isn't even here, and everyone else is just chatting. Most of them haven't even been in the water. And there aren't any cameras in here; let's just have fun, Sora. Loser buys ice cream. What do you say?"

He closed his sapphire eyes with a smirk, "3...2...1."

The two darted for the other side, Sora controlling the water to push him forward and push Kairi back. Kairi did her best to overcome the pressure before her and used her speed on her limbs. The two nearly collided in the middle, causing Sora to get a little off balance, and Kairi using her speed in anothr direction. Sora flipped upward and suddenly felt his head hit the floor. Kairi's back slammed against a wall as she landed on her butt.

Everyone in the class fled by the change room doors, shocked at what just happened. Three quarters of the water in the pool was now all over the place, and Sora and Kairi were found washed up by a wall. To everyone else, the water suddenly just bolted up like a nuclear bomb. To Roxas, everything was clear. He walked towards Sora and Kairi with his arms crossed and an angry expression on his face, "You're in big trouble."

"Yes father."

"I canot believe you two did that," Roxas sighed in disappointment as he took a bite out of his ice cream bar. He, Namine and the Strife couple sat by the clocktower in need of a break. Sora placed an arm around Kairi's shoulders, "Oh Roxas, let it go. No one even knows what happened; they just thought something retarded happened with the pool floor." Roxas combed a hand through his hair, "Well, okay, fine. But that's the last time you're using your powers for unecessary things."

"Why so worried?" Namine let the soft breeze run through their hair, "So far, they haven't been caught. And its been sixteen years in the making."

"Well its better to be safe than sorry." Roxas tossed his empty popsicle stick into the air, not worrying about any people below. Kairi rested her head on Sora's shoulder, "Its good we're being safe, but we have to let go sometimes, Roxie. Everything's perfect right now. Nothing to worry about." Sora agreed, "Yeah, look at us. In love, by the sunset that never gets old, having the best friends in the world."

"The Organization is done," Namine continued, "And the best thing is, even after all the training and the incident this afternoon, no one else knows about our abilities. Kairi's right; there isn't anything to worry about. Except exams coming up, of course." Sora huffed like a child, "Augh, you had to remind me! Thanks!" His sister giggled, "You're welcome my dear brother." Roxas joined the giggling and felt the suns rays hit his face, "Nothing to worry about."

Hollow Bastion, Underground Laboratory

"Master Ansem," A man adressed his professer, "The blood samples from Twilight Academy have been checked, and four of them seem to be out of place." Said man named Ansem spun around from his chair, "Unusual? Please explain, Xehanort." The light haired man proceeded in doing so, "Their blood cannot be classified as type A, B, O, or AB. The cells act in a different manner that we cannot explain. There's no virus-- but the cells alot stronger than the other blood samples that we have examined."

"Is it comparable to any theory or research?"

"There is one," Xehanort took in a deep breath, "The statistics match your theory of supernatural abilities."

Oh, finally, the actual enemy reveals himself ;) And for those of you who thought that the last chapter was the last; it isn't! xP Just because they got together, doesn't mean the story's done. Something 'interesting' has to happen, of course! We haven't even gotten to the action part yet ! x) You got a little glimpse of it in the beginning; suspense like, huh? I wanted you to have a taste of the future drama :O

Anyway, guess who sprained her ankle again? Yes, I'm so clever. It was almost fully healed, and of course, me being me, the accident prone one, I sprained it again. But at least it wasn't volleyball this time :). It was laser quest o.o For those of you who don't know what that is, its this thing like paintball but with lasers, and the room is nearly pitch black. You have to shoot people with lasers, kinda like modern warfare 8D So yeah, not even 10 seconds into the game and I already sprained it. x) I did come in 5th out of 20 people though :D. Modern warfare really paid off xD

And on april fools day, my band friends did the oddest thing that embarassed the band guys. They put like pads and tampons in their instrument cases just to embarass them-- one was even shoved in my best friend's flute xD Now he wants to burn it, and he never wants to play his flute again. Ah, gotta love band. And of course, in the author's note, there has to be a part about Final Fantasy XIII :D

I'm on chapter 9 now, and I would have gotten further, but my cousins from america came over and we started over from the beginning, just to see the epicness. Apparently, when we were exploring Bodhum, there's some guy that looks like a drug addict xD. And have I told you that I recently fell in love with Hope Estheim? Now don't get me wrong, Sora's still in the picture, but Hope is such a cutie x3 (im sorry you have to hear this my male readers xD) I searched for a Hope plushie all over this asian mall yesterday, and he wasn't there :( They didn't even have any FF13 stuff yet! Very disappointing.

Oh well, at least I got a bunch of notebooks. You should know I have this little obsession with buying notebooks-- go in my room and you'll find a whole crapload of notebooks filled with ideas for my upcoming stories :) Speaking of upcoming stories, 'Teenage Wasteland' will be released soon after Ordinary Freak :D. Yes, I changed the name. A little more catchy when its called Teenage Wasteland, eh? And I'm thinking after Teenage Wasteland, if I still have fans (LOL), I'm going to write a story about Sora's whole journey being a dream. It didn't exist, and he ends up waking in Tokyo, Japan, where he has no idea what the hell is going on. What do you think? I just need a title-- little help please? x)

Oh, and before I forget, I think Jared Someone wanted me to mention something. He calls them stalkers, but I find that a little offensive, so I'll just call them internet ninjas :). But apparently, someone found out about my future story plans with Jared, and we didn't even tell anyone about it :O. I'm just wondering, if you found out that Jared and I were writing a story together, and you're reading this right now... how'd you find out? x) Not that its bad, its cool actually, but I just want to know how you figured it out ;)

Yeah, this all started when I typed in my username on google. You guys are so awesome! (insert heart here) Even on facebook you give me compliments-- gah, I can't express how grateful I am to all of you. I love you all so very much! When I write a book, the dedication is going to all of you. Well, not that it already isnt now... everything I write is dedicated to you :). Ah, here come the tears xP But anyway, this is a pretty long author's note, so I'll stop boring you and get to the good stuff; replying to your awesome reviews! And btw, did you all hear about hannah montana in kingdom hearts? I DIED. IN A BAD WAY. xD

ChuckleBunny: aww, here come the virtual tears. When I read your review, I was overflowed with happiness. It all means so much T.T

Artism: ooh, hardcore gamer I see :D and don't worry if you review or not, at least I know you still care :) that really means alot! And now, we get a glimpse of whose supposed to hurt Sora and Kairi D:

Noami G: -teary anime eyes- th-that really means alot T.T and as you can see, the last chapter wasnt the last xD Something has to happen! :D

frozenflower716: well if it isnt Vanessa with the new final fantasy xiii? What chapter are you on? Am I the noob again? xD I'm gonna catch up to Philly dip, but then again, you might beat me to it :O

xoxoTwilight269 (lazy to login): LOL love that username right there. And indeed, I played final fantasy x2 and so far I must say I only liked the beginning cutscene xD I got stuck, but final fantasy xiii kicks ass! it looks amazing, and it IS amazing!
