Hmm. I wonder how you put bold and italic in your text? It needs to be an HTML file =/ Oh well, I'll just worry about that later.

Sorry if the story is darn crappy so far, but still. be nice. It's my first fic, you know. And I hope to get lots of reviews. At least five! So please R&R.

After a few minutes or so, Sora, Riku, and Tina walked down from the stairs. Riku had a black Calvin Klein jacket, baggy black pants, and a black ivy and eight quarter cap. The other boy had a red sweater on top of his regular clothing and a red-white cap stuffed on his head. (Imagine. with all that hair.) Both boys were frowning.

"Tell me. Why do we have to wear these again?" Sora asked.

"You two are from a famous video game. People will be all over you in a sec."

"We're from a- what?"

"Never mind. You'll just have to wear my things for now. It's just boy stuff that my dad bought me, so it wouldn't be that bad."

"Wouldn't your dad complain to your mom for letting us stay?"

"Dad goes to work at 6 in the morning till 11 at night. He wouldn't mind."

"What about other family members? Like. siblings?"

That made Tina jump. "CHRIS!" Then she realized that her little brother had started daycare afternoon to night just a day ago, thanks to Mom. Her mother knew that it would be a burden for Tina if Chris stayed home all the time. Besides, it seemed as if Chris enjoyed daycare.

The boys were staring at her, wondering why she had yelled out.

"It's nothing. Chris has daycare," Tina shook her head and smiled, "Now, let's go!" The girl pulled on Riku and Sora's arm to drag them outside.

The trio had been around for a while and even watched 'Matrix: Reloaded' while at it. They were talking about how cool it was, when Tina stopped in front of the local game shop. Riku and Sora stopped too and looked up at the gigantic poster pasted up at the window.

"30% off on the release of Kingdom Hearts 2. Pre-order now," Riku read. He shrugged and looked to Tina, "What's Kingdom Hearts?"

It was going to be too hard to explain right now, but she HAD to get this offer. "Even if this is a bad idea, we still HAVE to go in. Look, guys. Don't reveal your name or remove your hats - anything that will show your true identity. Alright?"

"What's that supposed to me- hey!" Sora watched Tina walk into the shop and looked to Riku.

"I guess we have to tag along then," Riku said and followed Tina. Sora sighed and did the same.

"It's too crowded in here!" Sora shouted to Riku over the noise of the people.

"We need to find Tina," the older boy said and looked around.

"Okay," Sora responded and looked for the girl as well, bumping into people quite often. He was pushed and fell once or twice, but said nothing to the person who shoved him. When he finally found Tina, he pouted, seeing that Riku got there first, talking to her. Soon, the girl left and Riku turned to Sora.

"She wants us to stay at the arcade or look around, while she shops a bit," Riku said, "I have some money. It's a bit different here, but she told me what is how much." Sora responded by heading over to the arcade, Riku following.

They stood fascinated by the DDR, watching several players dance, taking turns in line. Riku then looked to Sora and smiled, "You want to give it a try? I think I got the hang of it now." Sora nodded and they stood in line for couple more minutes, while studying how to play the game. By the time it was their turn to play, they were confident about themselves.

Riku inserted some quarters to the slot and chose the hardest level, along with "Paranoia: Evolution". (One of the hardest EVER.) Surprisingly, both of their feet moved so quickly and well-coordinated to the rhythm and received almost all perfects except a few greats. After they completed that song, they chose "Paranoia Remix" at the hardest level. This time, they got all perfects. Sora and Riku walked off the platform when they were finished, satisfactory smiles on their faces. They were about to go find Tina, but several kids crowded around them and asked how long they've been playing, how are they so good, and much more questions. The boys answered them truthfully, making the crowd even more amazed by their skills. Finally, they asked what their names were.

"Uhhh." Sora murmured. Luckily, Tina interrupted.

"Excuse me, pardon me." She muttered as she dragged the boys out of the crowd all the way to the exteriors of the shop.
"WHAT were you guys doing in that crowd?" Tina asked furiously.

"We played some of that DDR game, and then they came to us to ask questions because we got all perfects and greats," Sora answered.

"We answered the questions truthfully, but they finally asked for our names," Riku added.

Tina sighed and said, "I guess it's not your fault. I was wrong to let you guys play games in public. You two learn too fast." She smiled at that and they walked off to the nearest boba shop.

Sorry. I was playing DDR right before I wrote this chapter. xD I think it was okay, because I could imagine Sora and Riku beating everyone's arse in the games. Stay tuned. for Chapter 5!
