Kairi sighed lovingly as she took her normal seat in the cafeteria.
She was lost in her thoughts, and couldn't notice her sister waving a hand in her face. "What's up with her?" Aqua munched on her french fries, crossing her arms. Yuffie jumped up, and punched her fist in the air, "Kairi Lockhart is in love!"
A bunch of boys gasped, but didn't bother to disturb her due to her dreamy state. Namine, knowing french fries were one of Kairi's favourites, whiffed it in her face. Kairi still couldn't notice, feeling the need to sigh in delight. Namine's jaw dropped, "Gosh, she really is in love."
"And she's fallen hard." Xion double coated the word 'hard' with her fine tipped permanent marker. Larxene nearly gagged at the smell of the permanent marker, but let it go once she felt someone snake their arms around her waist. Yuffie looked bewildered, "No."
"Yes." Axel winked, "Just yesterday." Aqua's eye twitched, "So that's why you missed the dance last night. You were too busy... I'm sorry, doing what?" Larxene winked, causing Yuffie to shiver. "Augh. No more, please." Kairi sighed, and Namine had tried nearly every single tactic to try and pry her from her dream world.
With a final punch on the arm, Kairi shook her head from her thoughts. "Oh, Namine. Didn't see you there. Were you saying something?" Namine gave her sister a devious smile, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "What happened?" Kairi's smile grew wider as she sighed once again, "I've just met--"

"-- the most amazing person in my life." Sora leaned on his lunch tray, lost in thought, holding back the line. Roxas pushed him forward, regardless of the complaning students. He led his brother to some food, and took some for him because apparently, he couldn't do it for himself.
After paying for his lunch, and leading him to a nearby corner, Roxas slammed his tray down to the floor. "Hey!" Sora yelled, "That was my food!"
"Well I couldn't get your attention any other way could I?" Roxas yelled, and nudged Sora in the head, "What's with you? You've been acting all spacious lately." Sora giggled, and ran towards a pillar and spun himself, "I'm in love, Roxas!"
The girls in the cafeteria gasped, but didn't bother do rant about it since Sora was too caught up in his moment. "What?" Roxas asked, "First time I've heard you admit that. I mean, I knew you liked Kairi but-" He was silenced by Sora's hand to his mouth, as he pushed him through the doors towards the staircase.
"It's not Kairi." Sora whispered angrily, "Well, I like her too, but..." Sora bit his lip and headed towards the second step of the stairs to take a seat. "I met someone at the dance yesterday." Roxas groaned, "Aww, Sora. First the dream girl, then Kairi... now there's a new girl?"
"Yes, and she's amazing... sensetive, beaitiful, mindblowing... and so, mysterious." Sora had goosebumps just thinking about her. Roxas ran a hand through his hair, "I normally should do something about this, but I have no idea what to say nor do. So. Uh... are you unsure about what to do?"
Sora nodded. "Then... why don't you have a look at your lucky dream charm?" Roxas suggested, rubbing the back of his head. He felt a chill run up his spine as the atmosphere began to grow dark. Sora's eyes his behind his bangs, and he clenched his fists. Through he gritted teeth, he muttered, "I. Can. Not. Find. It. It. Is. Missing. It. Is. Gone."
Roxas backed away; his brother was really scaring him. The air around him grew cold, causing him to shiver. "S-Sora. I-I'm sorry to hear th-that. U-Um..." Racing through the doorway, Roxas began screaming his lungs out. Sora, on the other hand, became suddenly depressed as he sunk low to the ground, his face buried in his knees.
Bringing up his dream charm wasn't the best thing in the world.
When Sora joined the Organization for dinner that night, he still carried the dark aura with him. It got worse throughout the day; up to the point that the flowers near him began to rapidly wilt and die. Sora's lips were formed into an upside down upright curve. He took his seat with his arm crossed, slouching in his seat.
"Sora?" Yuffie jabbed him with her fork, "We're having pork chop... it's your favourite." Sora narrowed his eyes at the piece of meat on the table, as it began to slightly burn on his plate. Riku's eyes widened, "Hey, can you take out your emo powers on something else?"
"What happens to be wrong with Sora?" Kairi asked with worried eyes. Roxas shook his head, "He's lost something very dear to him."
The dining hall was quiet for awhile. Sora stood up from his seat and kicked the chair back into the table. "I'm not hungry." He spat before he left the room. The Organization hadn't said a word; no one touched their food. Sora's burnt pork chop continued to burn, as smoke began to rise from it.
"Axel." Ventus crossed his arms, "Stop burning Sora's pork chop." Axel's eyes widened as he shook his head violently, "I-I'm not doing anything." Everyone's eyes widened as the pork chop burst into flames spontaneously, causing Riku to go on a mad dash towards the fire extinguisher, taking out the burning pork chop.

Sora plopped onto his bed, and punched the matress below him continously. "How could I lose you?!" He yelled into his pillow. If he lost his charm, he'd lose his dream girl. It was a charm that proved she was real; proved that she was with him regardless that she wasn't there in person.
He lost it. It was gone. Not forever, but it was gone. He felt like his world was over, and nothing could solve it now. Someone knocked on his door, and didn't bother to ask permission before going in. Roxas came running in the room, running to his side. "Sora, you seriously haven't been this upset before. Tell me what's on your mind."
"I lost her." Sora punched his pillow, "I can't believe I lost her." Roxas laughed and fell back beside his brother. Sora raised a brow, "This isn't funny, Roxas." He placed a hand on his forehead, "I know, but your logic is."
"What exactly do you mean? I've lost her charm... she's gone now." Roxas jumped up and turned his brother right side up. He pointed past his crown necklace and poked his chest, "Please, don't you remember what she told you? I'm always with you? Hellooo?"
Sora sat upright, "I still don't get it." Roxas sat next to him and poked Sora's chest again, "Your heart, dumbo." Roxas twirled around, and began reciting the lines Sora had once told him his dream girl had said with a high pitched voice, "Sora-Wora, don't forget, I'll always be with you. In here; remember that."
Sora crossed his arms-- his brother had made a point there. He hated it when he was wrong, as he huffed and crossed his arms. "Well, I guess... it's not over, is it?" Roxas shook his head, "It's never over!" Roxas' watch beeped, as he fell to the ground on his knees, "NO! I'm missing Teen Titans! It's ovverrr!!"
Sora laughed and looked at his ceiling. Maybe... I should let it go. She's not gone forever, is she? I really shouldn't be sulking about it... I guess I was... overreacting... Roxas quickly stood up, and headed for Sora's door. "I hope you sort things out, bro! I gotta get to the TV before Axel and Larxene start making out in front of it! Catch you later!"
The door slid, revealing a nervous Kairi standing by the doorway. Roxas smirked and winked at Sora before running past Kairi. Her eyes were filled with worry, something he never enjoyed seeing Kairi with. He smiled and ran a hand through his hair.
He outstretched both of his arms at her as she ran into them, snaking her arms around him. She buried her face at the crook of his neck, and whispered how worried she was. He didn't pay attention much to what she was saying; he was too relieved for that.
That's right... there's still Kairi, isn't there?
-
"Kairi, the more I think about this, the more I think this is a bad idea."
"What? It's a great idea!" Kairi took a seat in the cafeteria and put up a sign that read, "Prince Charming Test". "With this, I'll be able to find the guy I danced with at the ball." Namine rolled her eyes, "Won't random guys just pretend to be your prince charming?"
"Of course not." Kairi scoffed, taking her seat, "They'll have to answer a series of questions. And whoever gets them all right, will obviously be the one I danced with." Kairi flipped a small sign that now read, 'Open'. She gave Namine a reassuring smile, suddenly receiving a line of hyperactive boys in front of her.
"Ms. Kairi, I'm the one you're looking for!" They all yelled at their own will. Their hands were clasped together, begging Kairi to take in at least one of them. Namine rolled her eyes again, and crossed her arms. "I highly doubt this will work, but since I can't stop you anyway, I might as well let you go along with this."
"Sora, the more I think about this, the more I think this is a bad idea."
"Are you kidding?" Sora kicked a box off a table, and set down a large sign that read, "Mystery Girl Test". "This idea has absolutely no flaws, it's full-proof." Roxas crossed his arms, "Won't random girls just pretend to be your mystery girl?" Sora shook his head.
"Nuh-uh. I'll ask them a series of questions, something only my mystery girl would know, and if they get them all correct, then that's obviously my mystery girl."
"Do you plan on dating this girl once you find her?" Roxas pressed, placing the palm of his hand against Sora's table. Sora blushed, and stayed silent for a few moments. "What ever happened to your darling Kairi?" Roxas whispered.
"I'm not going to date the mystery girl. I just..." Sora looked off in the distance, resting his chin on the palm of his hand, "Want to see her again, and know more about her..." Roxas rolled his eyes, "Yeah, sure. You keep telling yourself that. But once you and that girl get married, Kairi's gonna be crying for the rest of her life."
Sora shot him a dirty look, "Look, Roxas. We're not gonna get married; and if we did, doesn't Kairi have a mystery man she's searching for too?" Sora crossed his arms in satisfaction; he knew he had won this time. He expected Roxas to huff and stomp away, but he stayed and gave Sora a devious smile.
"That's right... Kairi has a mystery Prince Charming too... maybe it's a really hot guy? Maybe it's a really funny guy? Maybe he's really the one for her. Aren't you going to be... jealous?" Roxas teased, taunting his brother as he paced around him, "Don't you wish that prince charming of hers was... you?"
Sora shook his head, disallowing any thoughts of Roxas' suggestions to flow into his mind, "No, now cut it out! I have some business to attend to."
-
"Look at that." Namine clung onto Roxas' arm. He had his headphones on, and were ripped off by Namine, pointing at the cafeteria. Roxas shook his head violently, and focused on what she was pointing at. He sighed, "Oh, geez."
Before them was Kairi on one side with a line of fanboys waiting to be interviewed. On the other side, was Sora, with a line of fangirls desperate to answer his questions. Namine squeezed Roxas' arm harder, "How could this have happened? Sora and Kairi were supposed to be together..."
"Do you... think I'm hot, Kairi?" Sora asked with a false laugh. Fortunately, Kairi disabled Sora's 'Twenty Questions' rule, and returned him with 3 more questions. He had approximately two questions left, given the one he asked now.
Kairi laughed, "Guess." Sora cringed; he absolutely hated it when Kairi gave him the answer 'guess'. The rule was to give an answer-- and Kairi chose to leave it a mystery. Though, he considered most of them to be 'yes'.
He crossed his arms, "So you do think I'm hot?" Kairi punched his arm, "I said, 'guess'." Sora returned the gesture, "That's not fair!" Kairi giggled, "Figure it out yourself." Sora groaned, "Hm... what's your favourite... flower?" Kairi replied swiftly, "Roses. Ha, you have one question left."
"..."
"Aren't you going to use it now?" Kairi asked with curiousity. Sora shook his head with a serious face, "I think I'm going to save that one." He then sent her a smile, "Why don't you ask me some questions now?" Kairi nodded, "Do you... think I'm cute, Sora?"
"Guess."
-
"Look at them." Riku cringed the railings of the staircase, "All lovey-dovey. Why can't they just go out already?" Xion nudged his arm, and began to write in her notepad, "They're both searching for someone else. It won't work."
"Screw that. I'm playing matchmaker."
Xion whacked him, "Don't. If fate wants them together, then fate will get them together." Riku crossed his arms; even though Xion's words were only in writing, they meant alot. He found himself blushing as she clung onto his arm, watching the scene below.
Kairi skipped into the living room the next morning, only to be greeted by a drowsy Riku and Xion. "Where is everyone?"
"They're in the meeting room." Riku replied coldly, "They said Xion and I weren't invited." Kairi inwardly laughed; she knew exactly what they were all up to. "How can you hold a meeting without the superior? It's just wrong! It's not right! There should be a rule against-"
He stopped his ranting once Xion fell asleep on his shoulder. Kairi began to take out her cell phone for a picture, but Riku had stopped her by throwing a pillow at her direction. It was blocked by Sora, who seemed to have popped out of nowhere.
"Good morning." Sora yawned and plopped down on his normal spot on the loveseat. Kairi gave him a mysterious, yet worried look when he wasn't looking. Even though he appeared to be happy sometimes, she knew Sora was still a little upset about losing something important to him. She didn't know what it was; but she intended to find out one day.
Roxas came running in with Namine in his arms, carrying her bridal style as they both fell onto the couch. Axel and Larxene came in with their hands intertwined, and was followed by Zexion reading his book. Terra placed an arm around Kairi's shoulders, "So, do you wanna come with?"
"It's gonna be so fun this year!" Yuffie came in doing a summersault in the air, and landing perfectly on her feet. Kairi raised a brow, "Where are we going?"
"Kingdom Hearts Amusement Park."
omg. another late update =O
Sorry about that. My friends and I had to go to this orientation for our high school, and it went from 11:00am to like... 2:00pm. Then, my friends and I decided to crash at my house for awhile and watch the movie 'White Chicks' (which I found was hilarious), and that lasted up to like... 5:30pm. Then, I had to practice for singing lessons, then actually go to my singing lessons... then I got home at about 9:00. I ate dinner, started writing this chapter and an hour later...
