YUA: Gods, people! I'm so sorry for taking so long to update this fic. First, I had writer's block, then I had to go to camp, and---bah, so what...On with the story! And I'm sorry for so "conveniently" forgetting African American. I'm sorry, it's just that during that week, I was looking in my German book and it mentioned those same ethnic groups. SO, that's what was in my head. I'm not racist.

In Your Dreams!

"Mmm...tired..." I think that hangover is definitely taking hold of me. Is it morning? Guess so, seeing as how light is shining through the window. I take a quick look around, and notice that I'm sleeping on the fold out bed in the bonus room. Why am I---oh, that's right. Rikku's here.

"Philip! Rikku! Breakfast!" Damn, my mom is up this early? What time is it? I don't really care.

"Coming!" Rikku's voice rings out, and the door to the bonus room burst open.

"Hey! Your mom said---gah!" She turns away, while I just stand there, wondering why.

"Sorry! I'm really sorry!"

"What?" I look around, trying to see why she's reacting like this.

"Hang on a sec!" She runs out. Ok, now I'm thoroughly confused.

"Here!" She reaches her hand in without actually coming in, and tosses me a pair of my own jeans. Jeans? Uh-oh...I look down, and notice I'm only wearing boxers...oh God...

"Should've known..." I whisper to myself as I hastily put the pants on, making a mental note to bring my own clothes in here before I go to sleep again.

"Are you decent?"

"Um, yeah...sorry."

"Your mom said breakfast! C'mon!"

"Don't run down the---" I hear a large thump and sigh.

"---Stairs. You alright?" She sits on the floor, rubbing her head while smiling nervously.

"What's for breakfast mom?"

"Pancakes!" Hmm...I wonder how Rikku will react to them.

"Pancakes?" She inquires as I walk past.

"Trust me. You'll like'em." I sit down at the table, as does she. In front of her, are the round discs of dough called pancakes.

"Are those the pancakes?"

"That's them. Try one."

"How do you eat them?"

"Well, look at this." I take two of them, and stack them on one another. I lift up the first, putting syrup on it, and then putting syrup on the top one.

"What's that stuff?"

"This is syrup. It's...um...well, I don't know what it is, but it's good." Her face turns skeptical, but she takes two, and does the same thing I did.

"Now, all you do is cut triangles out of them, and eat." I do the said action, making sure she gets the idea.

"Oh, I get it! You people eat things in such strange ways!" I guess that might be true. She follows suit, cutting off a triangle, and eating it.

"Well?" She puts up a finger, telling me to wait. She chews, and finally downs the piece of food.

"Wow! That's great! Thanks Mrs...uh, Mrs..."

"Dito." I say.

"Ditto?"

"Dito."

"Dieto?"

"Dito!"

"Mrs. Dito!"

"Anytime!" My mom cleans up, and goes upstairs do start her daily routine of chores.

RRRRIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!!!

"AAAIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!" Rikku screams and falls out of her chair, while I burst out laughing.

"W-W-What was t-that?!" She pokes her head up and looks around.

"It's a telephone." I get up, still chuckling, and pick the receiver up off the cradle.

"Hello?"

"Sup Phil! It's Joseph. You busy today?"

"Nah. Ain't got nothing planned."

"Great! Want to come down to the beach?"

"What...!! Um..."

"Me, Toree, Chris, and Emily. Why don't you bring that girlfriend of yours?"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Whatever. So are you coming?"

"Uh...hang on a sec." I turn to Rikku while trying to keep my reddening face hidden.

"Hey, Rikku...you, uh, feel like going to the...um, beach?"

"Swimming? Sure!" I was hoping she WOULDN'T have said that...

"Yeah, we'll come. See you there." He hangs up.

"Now I can put on my normal clothes!" I'm assuming she's referring to that red shirt thing and those shorts.

"Um..."
