7:35am
The trees that morning made a hushed, soothing sound as the wind moved its way through out Destiny Islands.
*EEE EEE EEE EEE---*
"Uh--!" Kairi rolled out of bed in a heart beat and clicked the alarm clock off. She waited a few seconds for her heart to stop pounding. There was no sign or any noise from Riku and Sora outside.
"They must be at the island..." Kairi said drowsily and itched her head. She had the most wicked bed-head hairdo in the world.
It took Kairi her usual amount of time to get ready. Today her scarf was being good and it only took her three times to get it right. "Mooooom...." Kairi dragged her feet down the hallway, listening to the low mummer of the t.v and the crackles of breakfast being cooked.
"Yes, lazy girl?" Kairi's mom smiled at her; they all ways joked around and called each other names. Her mom had the same red hair as Kairi, only longer and in a big braid. The apron Kairi had made for her last Christmas was tied around her mommy's waist. That all ways made her cheerful to see.
"Umm..can I borrow..300 munny...?" Kairi fidgeted with her fingers and tilted her head in an attempt to charm her mother. Her mommy's eyebrow arched as she slid two pancakes on a plate, "Why? What happened to your paycheck?"
"I have it..! It's just not enough--!"
"For what?" Her mom leaned over and placed the plate of food in front of Kairi. She was half taking her seriously, half dozing like parents often do when money is the subject. "Oh...never mind...." Kairi shook her head and took a big bite of her food.
On her way to the shop, Kairi watched the sky. And neglected to notice the tree root in front of her foot. "--!!!" Kairi thudded onto the ground face first. "Aaaah..! Why do I keep getting hurt each morning??" As Kairi got up, she noticed the munny that was in her pocket lying where she tripped.
"Only 20 munny..." She murmured in a sad tone. The was way not enough to buy Oath Keeper for Sora. The moment she saw it, she knew she had to get it. But..it probably wouldn't do much good other than a paper weight. Kairi giggled at that thought and started to pick up the munny off the ground. "Yup. That's what he'll use it for. But still...." The last munny was placed into her pocket. "I have to get it for you."
Dry leaves tumbled by Kairi's foot as she neared the antique store. Maybe she could persuade Ms.Biggs to have her pay for it over a period of time. That'd be way easier than to get 1,000 munny.
"--Or maybe I can work for free until...well...um..." Kairi stuttered in the middle of her proposal to Ms.Biggs.
The old lady smiled at her when she paused to think. When Kairi noticed this, it gave her a bit more encouragement. "What I mean is..I really want Oath Keeper...but I don't have the munny. So I'll take it out of my paycheck-" Kairi added quickly, "I'll even give you my birthday munny! And Christmas..!"
Ms.Biggs raised a shaky hand to silence the young girl. She had heard enough and saw plainly that her employee was sincere. "Kairi, I will tell you my answer before you go home today. I'll need some time to think about it... Now...please clean up today. Some young kids came by today and made a mess out there..." Ms.Biggs excused herself after instructing Kairi of her chores.
"Well...at least she didn't say 'no'..."
***
"Are you going to be here forever, Kairi? We missed you at the island..!" Sora pouted as he leaned heavily on the front counter. "Don't do that Sora, it's old and you might break it." Kairi swatted him off with her hands, "I won't be here forever...just until I get some munny for your birthday." She smiled and started to dust the cash register; that was the one thing that collected the most dust.
Kairi placed the feather duster down and rested her chin on her hands while leaning on the counter like Sora did. "So what brings you two over here?"
"Didn't you say that thing is old..?" Sora blinked, tilting his head confused like he often did. "Well yeah. It's sturdy enough...but knowing you Sora, you'll find someway to break it." Kairi giggled.
"Hey! I'm not -that- clumsy!" Sora motioned with his hand to make a visual point and knocked over a case of old dolls. "Uh-! Sorry..!" At once he got on his knees to pick up the mess while Kairi just watched, amused and content.
"Sora.....you're impossible."
The voice from across the room gave Kairi a tiny surprise. "...Huh..? Riku..! I didn't notice you were there. " She blinked a few times and watched the older boy petting Wedge on the head. For once the bird wasn't spazzing and cawing like it all ways did when Kairi tried to pet it. Wedge practically leaned into Riku's gloved hand, cooing softly.
"Soo..are you guys looking for anything particular?" She may as well try to make a few munny for the store. That'd make Ms.Biggs happy.
"Mmmmm...give me a few minutes. Maybe I could find something." Sora itched the back of his head and glanced around the store. Riku gave Sora a warning glare. "Don't buy anything you don't need." "I know, I know..!" He waved at his best friend as if to make the words of advice disappear. Kairi watched her friend try to make his way carefully through the shop. But with those big ol' shoes....
"Uh-oh..! Wait Sora, don't move!!" Kairi exclaimed and waved her arms in a panic. "Huh? What?" Sora turned around and a chain reaction started when his foot bumped into one of shelves.
Kairi groaned, covering her ears to try and block out all of the crashing noise. "Just like a bull--"
"--In a China shop." Riku finished the quote for her. He was so use to Sora's clumsy ways that he never bothered to be surprised anymore. After the last two displays toppled over to meet their fate, Kairi opened one eye, then the other. She surveyed the damage that happened within a few seconds. "Oooooooh...!" Kairi sighed and let her forehead bonk against the front counter.
"Er....uh....I'm...sorry...." Sora apologized quietly while looking around at the mess he made. A rubber ball rolled across the floor and bumped into Riku's shoe. That finally caused him to look away from his new friend Wedge and look at what Sora did.
"Heh..baka." He kicked the rubber ball with deadly accuracy at Sora's head. It bounced off, making the spiky haired boy squeak, and rolled away into the shadows.
It took some...well...a lot of time to clean that place up again..but it eventually got done. Thankfully the two stayed to help her; otherwise she'd be there well past ten o'clock. After that, however, Kairi made a mental note to never let Sora in again.
The sun was beginning to set and the sky was turning into that pink/orange sherbet color again. So many times Kairi had seen the sky at this time, but she could never get tired of it. This sun set, however, inspired an unrestful feeling in her instead of the usual contentment.
Stairs creaked one by one as Ms.Biggs proceeded at her usual slow pace. "My...Kairi...this place looks better than usual.... It's like you took apart everything and shined it up."
"Heehee. Okay...so I won't pummel Sora for what he did after all..!" Kairi thought and smiled to herself, not telling Ms.Biggs her little secret. At the last stair, Ms.Biggs placed her hand on the wall and let it trail along it to keep balance. "I really don't like these stairs...they take too much out of me..." Ms.Biggs said randomly and sat down in her big comfy red chair.
Kairi watched the old lady adjust the glasses she wore and couldn't help but love her. She reminded her so much of someone she used to know.... back when she was a tiny little kid. Kairi shook her head to excuse that faded memory. All she cared for right now is getting that star for Sora.
"Oooh...oof.." Ms.Biggs adjusted her tired old bones and forced a smile. "All right you, we have business to discuss...right? I had a feeling you'd want this for yourself." Kairi noticed that the star was laying peacefully on the left arm rest of the big red chair. "It's not for me.." Kairi started to explain, placing her hand over her heart, "It's for my friend Sora. I know he'd really really like this."
"How kind of you, dear. I know your friend would treasure this...so...let's say I give it to you for....20 munny."
".....Really???" Her mouth dropped open, then closed quickly. "Wow! Are you sure??" Kairi's heart fluttered. What a kind old lady this Ms.Biggs is! "I have just enough, too! How did you know??" The 20 munny that Kairi had in her pocket was quickly pulled out and laid on the counter before Ms.Biggs could have a chance to change her mind. "Heehee!"
"It's all that I gave you for last weeks work." The old lady said with a shrug, "You have to tell me how your friend likes it though."
"For sure! Thank you so much, Ms.Biggs. Really. I mean...this is absolutely great!" Kairi kept chattering away happily for a while until she realized it was getting dark. "Uh-oh...Shoot...I gotta go..my mom will eat me alive if I'm home late. Thanks again Ms.Biggs! See you tomorrow!" Kairi managed to give the old lady a gentle hug...even though she really wanted to give her a great big bear hug for her kindness.
On the way home, Kairi jogged at a steady pace. The chilly air was so refreshing against her skin after staying all day in that time-worn place. With the biggest grin on her face, Kairi took out the prized possession Oath Keeper and gazed at it for a few moments. "I got it... I really got it..!" A happy chuckle escaped her lips and Kairi hopped in the air in celebration. At the next turn, her home came into view. Trees were everywhere, waving softly in the wind's breeze and making the shadows dance.
"I just can't wait to give it to you, Sora..."
