"I can't believe Riku ditched us." Kairi pouted, her shoulders slumped. All three of them had shown up to the festival together but Riku had vanished not long after they arrived. After waiting twenty minutes for him to come back and then scouring the entire festival for him, that was the only conclusion they could come to.

"I can." Sora mumbled under his breath. His older friend had threatened him with this for years, but he never thought he would actually go through with it. It was a ploy to make him confess his feelings to Kairi but at the moment he was more mad at Riku than anything else.

As they continued to circle the festival, unsure of what to do, they heard a booth attendant ask, "Don't you want to win something for your girlfriend?"

They had both been waving them off and correcting them all day but Sora was looking for some way to vent his annoyance and answered, "Yeah, sure. Whatever."

Kairi raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"

Sora took a handful of darts from the attendant, answering, "Pretending these are Riku's head." He held out the darts to her, "Want to join?"

"Gladly." She nodded and took a few of the darts.

They both walked away with silly small prizes and a smile on their face, feeling a little better about the situation and finally beginning to enjoy themselves. After going on some rides and playing a few more games, they retreated to the play island to watch the sunset.

Once they finally kissed, Sora admitted begrudgingly, "I have to thank Riku…"

Kairi sighed, "I guess I do too. But… that doesn't mean we can't play our own trick on him first."

"I like the way you think." Sora grinned, leaning in to kiss her again.
