A/N: Hey, thanks for the reviews!!! But, considering only 1 person asked for a spoiler, I guess that 1 PERSON gets it and that's it. :D oh well.
Anoywho, I've got some important stuff to tell you all in the bottom authors note, so read it. but for now...
ENJOY! (p.s. none of the stuff I have to tell you is bad news, don't worry :D It's actually really good.)
P.S. There's a new, AWESOME story I've been reading called "The Light Within The Darkness" By XFireFistAceX! It's RikuxNamine, so if anyone's interested it'd be a great story to read! Thank youz!
CHAPTER 29
The sun the next morning rose early in the A.M. Rays of light shinned through the white curtains that hung over the window in Namine and Riku's room meekly as the time reached 8 A.M. Namine turned over on her side, and to her other side as she faced Riku and yawned, inhaling and exhaling deeply, blowing some of Riku's hair left and right. The waking up process for Namine was always slow. Riku, on the other hand, was a light sleeper, and usually was the first one up.
Sitting up and stretching his arms into the air while Namine continued to sleep soundly, he flung his feet over the side of the bed and they reached the white carpet quietly. He stood up and stretched once more before grabbing a pair of jeans and a shirt to get dressed in for the day. While he did so in the rather large bathroom within the room, Namine was slowly coming to senses and opening her eyes lazily as she turned over, again, (nearly falling off the other end of the bed) and sighing as the light from the sun gleaming through the window met her eyes.
She covered her face as a poor attempt to block off the rays and sat up, yawning and stretching as Riku exited the bathroom and back into the main room.
"Morning!" He greeted loudly, catching her attention and gaining all attention.
"How long have you been up?" She asked, taking time to notice he was already ready for whatever they had planned for the day.
"Ooooh…" Riku scratched the back of his head, "Maybe 15 minutes…"
"What time is it?" Namine asked a second question.
"8:20 A.M." Riku answered.
"Ahhhh!" Namine whined, falling back into the bed. "Why do you get up so early? I bet nobody else has even started to wake up yet."
"I'm sure Roxas is awake." Riku sat on the end of the bed next to Namine's body. "I saw him at 5 in the morning."
"You were up at 5:00 A.M?" Namine seemed disgusted.
"It was a little hard to ignore his screaming," Riku laughed, "Leave it to you to sleep though something like that."
"What was he screaming about?" Namine sat up again next to Riku.
"Something about a skateboard." Was Riku's reply.
"Another one?" Namine got up and headed for the bathroom, saying "He's insane" before walking in and shutting the door behind herself.

Roxas was already out and about on his brand new skateboard, riding down the boardwalk next to the beach where he could watch the sun rise while he rode. He couldn't help but notice that things were so peaceful in the morning, besides the annoying birds chirping in his ears. He'd been up all night, no sleep. Not since the plane here. And oddly, he just wasn't tired. In fact, he was more awake than ever! More so!
His eyes were fixed on the horizon (which wasn't too safe considering he was on a piece of wood with wheels), but every once in a long while he'd stare off at the beach to watch the early rising couples who trotted about and flirted.
After a while, his eyes caught a familiar looking two people near a big boulder right next to the tide sparing it out with loud words even he could hear from the distance. Phrases like "Shut-up!" "Quit it!" and "Get out of my face!" 2 of which the boy was shouting, while the girl was a bit quieter, but still obviously furious.
He stopped his board to he could walk up a little closer to get a better look at who it was. And, just like he'd guessed, it was Kim and Fa'an. (A/N: It's Fa'an, not Va'an. I got the name from Princess Ai off my fav. charecter. The loner guitar player that randomly shows up and looks like a hippie. I love him)
Roxas couldn't help but stare as Fa'an raised his hand to her, like he was going to hit her, and she flinched, covering her face with her arms as a sheild.. It was the first time he'd ever seen her act even slightly scared of anything. Roxas wanted to say something. Anything to stop Fa'an but he lowered his hand on his own, and walked away. Just like that. That was it.
Kim stood up straight again, and screamed "I HATE YOU!" as loud as what seemed humanly possable. Roxas almost had to cover his ears. Fa'an simply ignored her, continueing his walk to wherever-it-was he was headed.
Roxas couldn't elp was wonder... Had this happened before. Even though he didn't strike this time, did he before. Will he later on? How dare he even try.
Roxas didn't even want to know what might happen next. So, pretending like he'd never seen a thing (or trying to) he hopped back on his skateboard and rode back the hotel where he'd get some shut-eye for once.
He needed it...

Wakka was just minding his own bussiness. He really was.
It's not his fault he just "Happened" to See Namine's dad and Brittany (A/N: No, I'm not changing the name) strolling around in town while he just "happened" to be up at 5 a.m. just to follow them there.
Yeah, he knew what he was doing. Yeah, he knew it was wrong. No, he didn't care. Why was he doing this, you ask? No clue.
Spying. That's what he was doing. Spying.
But, what else was there to do at 7 a.m. in the morning?
Wakka was relativly bored, for the most part. Until they started makin' out.
Wakka balked.
Oh crap.
Oh god.
Holy heart failure.
This wasn't good.
Wakka imidiatly got up, turned the other way, and started walking back to the hotel feeling ill and scared all at the same time. He was ill because, well, 2 people he considered to be "old" he just caught making out. He was scared because Namine'd ether be too sad to even look at anyone of so mad that she'd kill the one who found out first. Him.
That'd teach HIM to spy again.
Now he had a problem; Tell Namine himself or let her find out on her own. Ether one was a death sentnce, for all of them.
Then he had this brilliant (or so he thought) idea. Tell RIKU instead. Then HE could tell Namine. Or, he could tell Roxas, who'd tell everyone else and it would get around to Namine some other way.
Or... He could just keep his mouth shut and stay out of it.
Too bad he had such a big mouth.
000
Roxas was nearly in his hotel room when he spotted Kim walking down the hallway towards him. He quickly jumped out of the way so she wouldn't see him, and watched her as she entered the room next to his that was supposedly empty. What was she doing going in there? Roxas crepped closer for a better look, and saw Kim and Fa'an inside the room from a crack in the door.
... What in the world?
Oh no, don't tell him... When Kim took the tickets, did she get one of the rooms too? Jeez, he was in for it. Now, if Namine knew, she's think he's purposly "sold" the tickets to Kim.
Wonderful... Could paradice get ANY worse?
This was supposed to be a vacation.
Roxas was walking away to his room next door, to fed up with himself to watch the two at the moments till he heard a scream and watched Fa'an exit the room and walk away. Roxas imidatly went to the room Kim was in to see what happened.
But when he peaked inside the room, she seemed fine... A little ticked, but that was normal. He couldn't help but fully open the door to her room and walk in slightly, leaning against the edge of the doorway and asked, "What was that all about?"
Kim looked up at him suddenly. First, she was shocked by his sudden appearence, then that expression quickly turned into a scowl when she realized who it was. "What do you want?"
"I already asked." Roxas refered to his previous question.
"It's none of your bussiness." Kim looked away from him and got up, grabbing a thing or two from the end table and walking for the exit, but Roxas stoppped her.
"That Fa'an kid-" Roxas couldn't finish.
"Roxas!" Kim gave him a look that made his blood run cold, but then her features wavered into an almost pained look. "Go away."
"Kim-" He was cut off again.
"I don't need sympathy," Kim started, "Especially from you. I can handly myself."
Roxas didn't say a word, instead watching her disapear down the hallway.
He sighed, made one last effort to call her name, but no one came.
"Roxas!" Riku was running down the hall towards him just then. "Have you seen Namine?"
"No." Roxas seemed more stubborn than usual.
"Hey, you okay?" Riku asked, looking around a moment for answers and got nothing.
"I'm fine." Roxas tried to act not so flustered (my fav. word XD) "What about Namine?"
"She ran off somewhere." Riku scratched the back of his head. "I can't find her."
"Did she run away from you?" Roxas snickered.
"No," Riku rolled his eyes, "She probably just goofing around with Kairi and Selphie."
"Did you check the beach?" Roxas leaned against the wall.
"No," Riku laughed, "Good idea."
Roxas sighed and closed his eyes. "No... problem..."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Riku eyed him.
"I already said I was fine." Roxas opened is eyes and shot him an anoyed look.
"Whatever, man." Riku then ran off.
Roxas sighed and went off to find his new skateboard. Now, where'd he put that thing...

"I knew it..." Sora sighed. "Namine won't be happy..."
"I'm not telling her." Wakka waved his arms around.
"Why not?" Tidus and and Olette both asked at the same time. "You're the one that-"
"It's not MY fault I just happened to be there!" Wakka whined.
"Uh, yes it is." Pence set his camera on the table they were sitting out side that belonged to the hotel. "It's called spying."
"Who says we even need to tell Namine?" Sora set is elbow and the table and rested his head into it. "Can't she figure it out by herself?"
"Wouldn't that be a little-" Tidus was cut off. (A/N: Jeez, everyone's being cut off today :/)
"Harsh?" Sora asked. "No. If you hadn't been spying, she wouldn't found out on her own anyways."
Olette gave him a look. "But we're her friends. We're not supposed to keep secrets."
"Because we're her friends," Sora started, "we're not going to tell her. I'd rather her Father say something first."
"Whatever you say." Tidus rolled his eyes. "Master."
Sora grunted.
Wakka was having a party in the background.
Riku suddenly showed up and joined then, sitting in the chair next to his best friend. "Anyone seen Namine?"
"No." They all said at once.
Sora, who was next to him, sat up straight again and asked, "Why?"
"I can't find her." Riku told. "I saw her this morning before she left with kairi and then-- nothing."
Sora pondered a moment. "Oh, that's right... I haven't seen Kairi much today ether."
"Wanna help me look for them?" Riku asked.
"I've got nothing better to do." Sora got up and left the group with Riku.
Everyone else sighed, laughed, and then split up themselfs.

Namine and Kairi had wandered deep into town, looking for something entertaining to do. Namine was looking for her father at the same time, though.
"Isn't that cute?" Kairi squealed and pointed to the item of her desire inside a glass window just outside the store.
Namine laughed. "We've been out here for hours. Everyone's probably worried."
"They'll live." Kairi shrugged it off and entered a coffee shop with Namine, where they sat down at one of the tables just to talk.
Just then, Namine's Dad and Brittany walked into the store. (A/N: again, not changing the name.)
They were flirting. Yeah... Looked like and every day, love-struck couple. It pissed her off. Since when does her dad just pick up some random woman off the streets and not tell her a thing?
Namine sighed, trying to forget about it (It wasn't good to just ASSUME things) until her dad spotted her and greeted her. "Morning, sweetie!" Some of the people around them giggled.
Namine didn't look at him, and Kairi sighed. "Dad..." She barked.
Her dad rolled his eyes. "Fine, Namine. Cut the attitude."
"Attitude?" Namine looked up at him coldly. "I should have every right! You and-" She looked at Brittany, who frowned, and stopped herself, getting up with kairi and Leaving without saying another word, or giving her father a chance to say anything else.
She couldn't decide wether she was pissed of depressed.
Maybe a little of both.

Riku wrapped his arms around Namine's waist from behind, catching her off gaurd. "I looked everywhere for you."
Namine relaxed when she realized it was just Riku, and she hugged his arms. "Sorry..."
"Something wrong?" He let go of her and she turned around to face him.
"No, I'm alright." Namine said.
"Namine, hurry up!" Kairi shouted from ahead. "We should get back to the hotel before it gets too dark out! It's like 9:30 PM!"
"We should go." Namine began walking at Riku's side back to the hotel.
"Everyone seems upset today." Riku sighed, grabbing her hand as they neared the building.
Namine smiled softly at him. "I'm not sad."
"Mm Hn." Riku grunted, not convinced. "Well see."
"Was that a dare?" Namine snickered.
"What?" He looked at her funny.
Namine laughed at him, and then sprinted back into the hotel with her toungue stuck out, pressing him on and he chased after her.
If at least for just a moment, he could make her forget about her problems.
Let tomorrow worry about itself.
+TO BE CONTINUED+
