Chapter Two: Destiny Islands
You know what? I'm not a creature of the night like C-dawg, but neither am I a MORNING person. I'm what you would call a... "Afternevening" person. Afternoon+evening=afternevening. Makes some sense right? ON to my POINT behind my ranting, you see, the morning sun has this THING with my eyes, to be blunt: I CAN'T SEE. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is my little dilema. I'm awake, probably in my bed on a Sunday morning...er afternoon more likely, and the god forsaken SUN is shining through my god forsaken WINDOW making my god forsaken EYES hurt like the dicken's... Only there's just one itsy bitsy problem with my assumption... I don't remember havin' the sound of WATER rushing in my room... Ok, eyes, suck it up, we need to "see" what's up.
A person would NEVER believe how hard it is to open my poor poopy brown eyes, but somehow I manage, and when they adjust to the bright as all hell sunlight, I'm completely taken aback by what I see. I see... Man, I have NEVER had to go pee so damn bad in my LIFE! Well wakin' up to the sound of water, and then SEEING nothing BUT water can have that effect on people. Especially ME. I jolt up, takin' a quick look around, then dashin' for the nearest bush, I answer nature's call. Hello nature, so NICE OF YOU TO CALL ME RIGHT NOW! You couldn't like call me in about ten minutes?! Or at least until AFTER I figure out where the HELL I am?! But no, you have no curtesy for us simple life-forms, DO YOU?! Figures...
After relieving myself, I went back out from the behind the bush and sat back down in the sand. Yes, that's right, SAND. If you can't put the facts together by now, I'll just go right out and say it. I'm on a BEACH, by the looks of it, perhaps a small island. But the ocean is really beautiful, reminds me of Riku's eyes... Wait a sec... Where IS Riku?!
I jump to my feet, that horrible sinking feeling hitting my stomache like a 60 pound weight. Last time I checked, we were BOTH sucked into that big ball of "blackness", so where the HELL is HE?!.... he... he didn't...? NO!! POOR RIKU! I fall to my knees and pound at the sand. I knew it! I AM cursed! DAMN! He was a hotty too!... WAIT! Thou shalt not give up on Riku- kun! I BELIEVE IN YOU RIKU! After this thought, I search around the beach for his form, dead or not, hopefully not...Around this time, my initial shock has gone away, and now... here comes "Katie's Spazmatic Screaming Attack."
"Riku? ... RIKU?! RRIIIIIIIIIIIIIKUUUUUUUUU!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU RIKU?! YOU BETTER NOT HAVE DIED! Did you? IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!! If you're ALIVE, GIVE ME A SIGN! WHISTLE IF YOU'RE ALIVE!!" I hear no sound, but I won't give up, maybe he can't whislte! "If you can't WHISTLE, then... uh... CLAP!" I hear no clapping. "RRRRIII~IIIIIKUUUUUUUUUU!!!"
"What in the hell are you rambling on about?" ... could it be? ....Riku?
"RIKU!" I yell happily, turning quickly and imediately wrapping my arms around his waist. "Riku! I thought you were DEAD! I'm so happy you're ALIVE!" Probably not for too much longer if I keep squeezing him like this... And now... I realize what the HELL I'm doing, letting him go and looking at the ground, my face turning bright red, I can't help but think to myself... Gosh Kay, didn't know you had it in you.
Regaining my composure would be the respectable thing to do right about now. BUT, I'm Katie Smyth, as I stated earlier, and I'm not too awful respectable. Standing up slowly I glare up at Riku, while he gives me a confused look. I have some questions to ask, and I'm GOING to get some answers. "Riku..." I grab his shoulder's suddenly and his eyes go wide in fright. "WHAT IN ALL THE HELLS OF MAYFIL HAPPENED BACK THERE?!" I shake him feriously, laughing inside my head-- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!-- at how his face looks as shere confusion and fright overtake his once confident expression.
My common sense finally returns to me as I'm glaring at my poor victim of my "Spaz Attack", and I let him go turning my back on him. "Uh... excuse me. Sorry, I got a little carried away."
"Yeah, I'll say. I don't think I've ever seen you like this Katie." Hey... I know that voice, don't I...? OF COURSE I DO! That's...?!
"Courtney, don't agg her on will you? I know how you two get..." Riku scolded.
I stare at her... there she is, just STANDING there, while I'm freakin' out about EVERYTHING... hey, SHE'S ALIVE!! "It's YOU!" I point dumbly at her.
"OH! It's ME!" she mocks... typical Courtney. Nevertheless, I rush up to her and begin to make ABSOLUTELY sure she was really there, after all, I KNEW that Riku was there, I just hugged him. Now if you're thinking that I'll do the same to her as I did Riku well you know what? You're HELLA WRONG! Instead, I poke her. ".... We just get through a MAJOR dilema in our lives, considering our WORLD HAS JUST BEEN DESTROYED, and all you have to do when you see you're BEST FRIEND ALIVE is to POKE ME?!?!?!"
"Uh... you got a problem with that?"
"No not really, if you had hugged me like you did Riku, I'd think there was something wrong with you."
"Good then it's settled."
"No not really, you still hugged Riku. You practically GLOMPED him. This calls for unending and unreasonable amounts of teasing!" Aw... SHIT!
DAMMIT!! Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? WHY ME?!?!? WHAT DID I DO?! Oh, yeah, that's right, I'M JUST ME!!
It hits me then, and I fall once again, on my rump in the sand. Oh my god... What did she just say? Could it really be true? No, I won't believe it... It just can't be...
"Oh, c'mon Katie, I was just joking about the teasing thing!" Courtney tries to comfort me, thinking that what she said about Riku is what upset me. Don't get me wrong, it didn't really add to my pile of problems that have been addin' up lately, but that's not exactly what's on my mind at the moment.
"Riku? Is it true? Is our world really destroyed?" I ask him, I would ask Courtney, but for some strange reason I figure that I'll get a more detailed answer from him. I watch him for a moment as his face goes a little sad and he avoids eye contact with me, well, there's my answer. "But... how? Why? Who?" Gee, I think I'm actually hyperventalating... I feel sick as well... Am I going to pass out? No, I refuse, it's not in my nature to be too surprised about something to pass out. I WILL NOT pass out.
"Katie, are you ok? Are you going to pass out?" Courtney asks, seeming to let all humor subside from her usual character to worry about me.
"Uh... yeah, probably." I say honestly as my eye-lids close and I feel myself fall backwards.
