A/n: Sorry I took so long, I decided not to write anything until after the trip, not to mention laziness hit from time to time…. Also, the songs/speeches were : Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech, 'Moment 4 life' by Nicki Minaj, and 'What Time is It?' by the HSM cast, not to mention the jingle from the old Disney World (or Disneyland, I forget which one) commercials.

Chapter 25: Summer Bay Resort

The trip to Florida was long, that was for sure, but Sora, Kairi, and Riku found ways to occupy their time. Instead of riding with Dom and Angel, Joe had insisted on saving Dom's family the trouble and decided to take them himself, he brought his girlfriend with him, too, but she was sleeping at the moment. Riku was playing 'Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep' on his PSP while Sora watched and pointed out what Riku should do next. Kairi was listening to music on her pink iPod (Angel: "WHY PINK! And why does SHE get an iPod", Dom: "Cause I said so! Anyway…")

"You went the wrong way."

"What?"

"You're supposed to go back, not in the water."

"I thought I was supposed to go toward Captain Hook's ship."

"Well, you're not."

"Okay… I can't get back up."

"What do you mean 'I can't get back up?' It just showed you how to glide."

"I mean my glide isn't working."

"Here, let me see… you're right, glide doesn't work… well… try jumping from this rock to that one. It'll probably take a few tries but it should work."

That was the only conversation going on in the car, even if Sora and Riku were talking about a video game. Surely enough, after a few good tries, Riku finally managed to get from one rock to the other; he also managed to find a new area that had a large rock-like mountain thing, but that took a few more tries to get up to the top. After that, they had to go have a boss fight with Captain Hook. They played that until they finally reached Florida, also reaching one of the craziest times they ever had.

…

As for the suite, they had one in the same resort as Dom and everyone else, so they could go over and hang out with them anytime.

"Wow! I love this room!" Kairi squealed as she flopped down on one of the two beds.

"Yeah, it is pretty cool." Sora said, glancing around the room.

"Sora! Come look at this!" Riku called from the living room of the suite.

"What?" Sora asked when he came out of the room he and Kairi were in.

"Flat screen T.V, man!" Riku exclaimed.

"Sweet! Good thing we brought the PS2!" Sora said.

"And the 360!" Riku responded.

"Wait, when did we bring that?" Sora asked, not remembering packing the 360.

"I did the night before we left." Riku said.

"Oh…well, that's good news." Sora stated.

"Oh my goodness!" They heard Joe's girlfriend, Christina, say.

"What?" Sora asked walking over to the doorway.

"Aw, look at the birdies!" Kairi exclaimed, having come out of the room she was in a little after Sora did.

"What are they doing? Kissing?" Sora asked.

"I don't know, I think they're just touching beaks." Riku said. They had found some towels folded in the origami form of two swans 'touching beaks' and forming a heart shape between them.

"Summer Bay Resort is one interesting place." Joe stated walking into the room and flopping down on the one, king size bed. He grabbed the origami towels, examined them, and then started taking them apart.

"No! Don't do that!" Kairi exclaimed.

"Why, there's one in the kitchen that's just like it." He stated, still taking the one in his hands apart.

"Yeah… but it's smaller." Kairi said after giving the kitchen a glance and seeing the same origami made out of the dish towels.

"It's still the same." Joe said.

"Yeah, but… fine, forget it, never mind." Kairi said.

"Maybe we should go see what Dom and Angel are up to." Riku stated.

"Yeah, good idea… but do we even know what room they're in?" Kairi asked.

"Good point…wait, you and Sora have Dom's number in your phones, so one of you can just text her." Riku said.

"Okay! Sora, you text her." Kairi said.

"What? Why me, why not you?" Sora asked.

"Because, I don't feel like texting anyone right now," Kairi whined, "plus, she's your girlfriend, so text!"

"You suck, you know that." Sora said, pulling out his phone and texting away.

"Where are you?"

A minute later he got a response from Dom.

"On mars, where do you think I am?"

He smiled, 'Same old Dom.' He thought as he texted back.

"I mean what building and suite are you in?"

"…Why?..."

That text got Sora a bit worried.

"What do you mean 'why?', so we can come see you, why else?"

"…Nothing, never mind…Building 107, Suite 306."

'Okay, that was weird.' Sora thought as he told everyone else the newly acquired information.

…Dom's side of the story…

Dom's trip went a lot like Sora's except that she and Angel were listening to music on their Mp3 and iPod while Dom's…acquaintance, Camille, listened to Dom's PSP.

They were just getting to the parking lot of their suite when Dom got the text. She smiled as she texted back, which Camille must have noticed.

"What are you smiling about?" Camille asked, she then noticed the text Dom had received.

"Ohhhh, we haven't even gotten into the room yet and you're already inviting boys over!" Camille said loud enough for everyone in the car to hear.

"What's it to you!" Dom shot back.

"Connie, I hope you know that your daughter is trying to invite some unknown boy over!" Camille said in a still loud voice.

"For your information, mom already knows who he is, so it doesn't matter what you say, I won't get in trouble. Also, he's not unknown." Dom said.

"You're still inviting a boy over!" Camille responded. Meanwhile, Angel sat in between the two in pure agony at their constant bickering.

"Okay one, who said he wanted to know this info for that specific reason, and two, even if it was for that reason, who said he was coming alone?" Dom asked, knowing fully well that he was most likely going to bring Kairi and Riku.

"Okay then, text him and ask why he's coming." Camille said. Dom opened her mouth in protest, but instead, the only thing that came out was a grumble of the word, "Fine."

When the response to her text came, Dom showed Camille the text with a look that said 'told you so'

"See, he said 'we'." Dom stated.

"Anyway!" Angel said as Dom's step-dad parked the car, growing tired of the two arguing girls and trying to change the subject. Dom looked at the building number, and, having already been told the suite number, texted back to Sora, then got out the car, allowing Angel out, too. They all grabbed their bags and headed up to the suite.

…Meanwhile, with Sora and the gang…

They arrived at Dom's suite just as Dom and everyone else other than Camille were about to leave back out somewhere

"You could've told me you were leaving before we came all the way over here." Sora stated.

"I just saw you coming from the building across the street." Dom said. Sora froze, Dom was right; his building was right across the street from hers.

"Still, that was wasted energy that we may never get back." Sora said.

"Yeah, anyway, you know you have three options; you can come with us, stay here, or go back to your own suite." Dom said.

"We'll head back!" Riku and Kairi said in unison, all the while turning around and walking away.

"Well, bye rude people!" Dom shouted after them, which only earned her a distant 'Bye!' from Kairi, while Riku gave her a wave while still walking away. They then disappeared into the elevator.

"You sure I can go with you?" Sora asked.

"Of course, what's the worst that could happen?" Dom asked.

"Your parents wouldn't be alright with it." Angel answered.

"Oh…right…I knew that… yo yo Ma!" Dom said, shouting the last part while running into the suite, then coming out a little afterwards with a big goofy smile on her face.

"She said yes…kinda…" Dom said, and then her smile calmed down as she shouted: "Let's do this thing!"

"Yeah man!" Angel said.

"Couldn't have said it better myself!" Sora said, and with that they all raced to the car laughing and joking around like idiots.

….….…...

Dom: Hello peoples! Good chapter, yes!

Angel: You better say yes or else…

Sora:*grabs Angel's shoulder* Don't kill anyone, Angel!

Angel: Get your hands off of me!*Shakes Sora's hand off her shoulder* I was gonna say; or else you suck, but killing sounds better!

Dom:*sighs* Why'd you get her started, Sora?

Sora: What? I thought she was gonna say; or else I'll kill you!

Riku: Well, now you know that she wasn't, anyway, everyone, let's get this over with!

Kairi: Including you, Carlos!

Carlos: Why me?

Angel:*smirking evilly* Because we said so, Carios.

Carlos:*Glares at Angel* How dare you call me that!

Dom: Anyway, let's get on with this, I was in the middle of a very good Red vs. Blue episode, and I'd like to get back to watching it, if you don't mind.

Riku: You don't even play Halo 2, so why are you watching Red vs. Blue?

Dom: Who said I have to play the game to watch Red vs. Blue?

Riku: …True…

Kairi: ANYWAY!

Dom: Oh, Right! *clears throat* everyone! Even though we're a little late with this, on the count of three! 1…2...3!

Everyone: Happy 4th of July! *all sing* God bless the U.S.A!

Dom: See you next time! And if you want to see something funny about the 4th of July, then go to my profile and I'll have a link for you, it's Red vs. Blue, but it's pretty funny. Bye!
