Author's Note:
O.o I wonder if anyone reads this part of the fanfiction.... -=sensing extreme doubt=-
Uhm, yes, well. -=clears throat=- I saw Terminator 3 on Independance Day. Oooo, I loved it. I love Arnold Schwartsneggor-whats-his-name. It was hilarious, too. And John Connor? He was just as hot as ever. I mean, in T2: Judgement day, he was only about twelve, but I thought he was pretty damn cute when I was young. I didn't see the whole film, but just enough to give me nightmares. Anyway-
If anyone's intrested, I might put down a URL to a site where you can see my fanart for Symphony Remix. I can't promise you quality art, because really, I don't know if I'm any good. But if you're intrested, send me some pics, and I'll glady put them on. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Sora: Wow, this is probally your shortest message.
Riku: I have to admit, this is the most intresting and the most appealing article you've attached to this little fanfic.
Kiyda: ......
Kiyda: -_- Well, thank you very much Mr. Bitchy pants and Count Fok-ya-lot! When the hell do I get to write when you two get down and dirty and shit?! Where's my fun!? When do I get to put the little part where Leon kisses Yuffie with an ultimate passion?! -=shouting to the heavens=-
Sora&Riku: O_o????
Kiyda: And what about Cloud?! And Kairi?! ...okay, she's a bitch gone nice, let's drop that - AND HIKARI?!?!! She's so friggin' alone! When is she and I are gonna get our men?!! And where the hell is CID?!!!
Sora: O_o BEHOLD: Author gone nuts.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter 8. Whoops
Sora's panting began to slow as Riku's did when they both began to realize what Sora had said. Hikari and Kairi were watching them, waiting for something else to take place similar to a soap opera. They just stared at each other, slowing their breath to a normal rate....
"Wait....Sora, what did you-" But Riku was cut off.
"Y'know, usually my customers like to sit down at the table when they wait for hours for me to drop by with their drinks," snapped a familiar voice.
Riku and Sora both snapped their heads up to see Lulu, their waitress, hovering above them with a tray holding four glasses of brown clear liquid in ice.
"So I pretty much recommend, ladies," Lulu shot a look at Hikari and Kairi laying on the stomachs across the table, "to sit down. The same goes for you two bastards. Whatever you were doing, it better not have scared the customers away."
Riku and Sora quickly resided into their seats, neither of them looking at each other as Lulu set their drinks down on the table.
"Okay, the silver haired girl had the Vanilla Coke - very nice color of hair, by the way -"
"Thanks. It's natural."
"- And Dr. Pepper for the pink tutu-"
"Thank you."
"- And lemme guess....the lover boys wanted the cokes," Lulu finished. Both Riku and Sora twitched at the name they were given as Lulu placed them each a beverage.
"So, I guess I'll be back in a few minutes with your god forsaken pizza. So if you leave before I get here, I may be forced to hunt you down along with my boytoy and kill each and every one of you, got it?" Lulu ordered. All four them stared at her. "I'll take that as a 'yes.'"
With that, the goth girl left their table to take care of other matters. Yet, Sora and Riku remained the same: not looking at the other, silent, moody, ready to shoot the other's head off. Riku sat with his hand resting on his right cheek, trying to avoid the temptation to look at Sora. Sora set his head in his arms while leaning against the table, looking to the right so he could also avoid the temptation to gaze at Riku. Both still seemed extremely peeved at the other.
'Stupid Sora,' growled Riku in his thoughts. 'Damn, fokin', stupid idiot. Everything's so damn predictable, my ass. I hate stuck up, snobs like him. Always so bored with life like some Prince or King. Always so positive like everything will be okay. Bored but too fokin' cheerful. Why the hell did he have to go and say that?! Can't he just be settled with fear and surprise like normal human beings?! He's like those idiots who always read the summary and flip to the back of the book to read the end of it instead of actually reading all of it from the beginning! Just who the hell does he think he is?!'
'That fokin' Riku,' cursed Sora in his thoughts. 'Why the hell did he have to go and push me! Why the fuck does he always tease me?! What did I do to him?! What, do I have "Pick on me" written all over my face?! Just what did he think he was doing, forcing himself on me like that!? WHAT A STUPID FOKIN' IDEA!! I hate people like him, always so jumpy, bitchy, mood swinging! So stuck up and snobby like a prince or king! Just who the hell does he think is?!'
They continued to ramble and blabber on and on in their thoughts for at least half an hour as Hikari watched the two, perplexed, as they both growled without realizing it. Hikari presumed they were probably thinking about shoving the other off the cliff, and she became depressed. 'Those two... they're such good friends, and they just met! Then the other goes all snobby and the other insane, forming storm clouds above their heads. But what's a little rain between friends, anyway?' wondered Hikari.
"Well, what do you know? You guys are still here!" declared a familiar voice. Hikari glanced up to see Lulu holding a large platter with a rather large pizza dish on it. She juggled that in one hand and a stack of four plates in the other. The one holding the large platter was succumbing to the weight.
"Hey, Lulu, lemme take care of dat!" exclaimed a warm voice in a Jamaican accent.
A tall young man with tan skin in an orange T-shirt and kacki shorts appeared, and immediately, he lifted the platter from Lulu's hand and plopped it onto the table.
"Thanks, Wakka," appreciated Lulu, setting the stack of plates between Sora and Riku, causing the river between them to become wider.
"Heh, no problem," declared Wakka, tightening his headband wrapped around his outrageous red hair. "I getta prize, right?"
"Mmmm, I could either chain you to a wall and have my way with you or..."
"Geez, not one to appreciate help, eh?"
"I could just give you a free slice of their pizza on my account," Lulu provided him with the choices. She glanced at Hikari with a smile. "That's okay, right? I mean, if it weren't for my boytoy-"
"Heeeyyy.... that's Mr. Boytoy to you, moody-" interrupted Wakka, shortly as he adjusted the tall gauntlet on his left arm.
"...right, if it weren't for my MR. BOYTOY -" Wakka interrupted yet again.
"Yeah, and don't forget it -"
"- riiiiiiiiiight, anyway, your pizza would've been -"
"Road kill-"
"DAMMIT, WAKKA!!!" shouted Lulu at her boyfriend, before shortly turning back to Hikari. "ANYWAY, your meal would've been destroyed and you would've had to wait at least another 30 minutes before I came back with another. So what I'm asking for is that you give one slice to my boyfriend, and I'll pay 1/12 of your meal, 'kay?"
Hikari nodded. "Right. I got it. Sure. Wakka, you wanna sit with us?" asked Hikari. Wakka scratched the back of his head, and rolled his eyes back as if trying to search for a good excuse.
"Well, I'd love to, ya, but you see, I have some friends wit me," declared Wakka.
"Dammit, Selphie, let go of my arm! I can't feel it, anymore!!" snapped an annoyed voice. It was followed by the giggle of a young girl.
"Tidus!" chimed the girl called Selphie that Tidus dragged. Dressed in a navy sleeve less shirt and jeans, Tidus came trudging along with a girl with short chestnut hair and big lime green eyes latched onto his arm.
"'It'd be fun,' he said. 'It'd get me to relax,' he said. 'And Selphie, you'd like to come along too, ya' he said. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???!!!" shouted Tidus as he stopped right behind Wakka, causing him to jump at his yell.
"Hmmm? Tidus?" wondered Hikari, tilting her head to the side to see beyond Wakka. Hikari grinned as Tidus's angry expression fell. "Tidus! It is you! What are you doing here?"
"Hey, she's really pretty!" declared Selphie, loosening herself from Tidus's arm. Hikari noticed the girl and smiled cheerfully and appreciatively.
"Thank you!" thanked Hikari. Wakka blinked at her, noticing for the first time that she actually was quite beautiful. Wakka leaned over to Tidus who stepped up beside him.
"Dis de girl you were talkin' about?" asked Wakka. Tidus gulped.
"Yeah," he replied, bluntly. Yes, this was the girl Tidus had told Wakka about, being confusing as a millennium puzzle. But what surprised Tidus was not the fact she was here, but the fact she was here with someone else. 'It shouldn't be so shocking. I mean, look how beautiful she is! It's be scary if she wasn't all that popular,' Tidus told himself. He glanced down at the silver haired boy and the brunette boy. 'One of those boys has got to be her boyfriend or lover. And one of them is probably jealous. They don't seem to be friends, either.'
"So you're name is Selphie?" asked Hikari.
"Yep! And I'm a master of the nunchakus!" declared Selphie. Hikari blinked once, then grinned and stood onto her feet.
"Wow, that's so cool! I've heard of them, but I've never actually seen anyone use them before!" exclaimed Hikari, excited.
"Well, guess what, baby, I'm all yours! I'm probably the best master of the nunchakus you'll see in a hundred miles!" declared Selphie, smiling. "What's your name, by the way?"
"It's Hikari. Hikari Jenova."
Selphie blinked. 'The light... her name means "light"...' perceived Selphie. Suddenly, Tidus's words interrupted her thoughts.
"So, what are you doing here, Hikari?" asked Tidus, blushing slightly. Hikari smiled, cheerfully.
"Well, since we skipped lunch, we were just having a little something to eat before we hit home for dinner," Hikari explained. "That, and I wanted to check out this club's Karokee."
"Well, can we join you?" asked Tidus.
"Sure! I mean, you wouldn't mind that, would you...Riku...Sora?" wondered Hikari, getting nervous.
Both Riku and Sora instantly shot a dirty look at Tidus as if each of them were ready to pull out a shot gun and blow out his brains if he said one word. Tidus stared, beady eyed. Then Riku and Sora shot a threatening glance at each other and turned around to avoid the other once again.
"Oi. Uhm, they really don't mind. Don't...Don't worry about them! C'mon! Sit with us!" urged Kairi.
"I don' kn-" Wakka was interrupted by Selphie as she bounced over to sit in- between Kairi and Hikari.
"Yay! Thanks allot!" Selphie chirped as she hugged both Hikari and Kairi with love! (A/N: O_o?)
"So what's up with those two guys?" asked Wakka sitting between Sora and Kairi. Kairi shrugged, and Hikari decided to work on a synopsis.
"Welllllll, it's a really long story, and I'd rather not explain it," Hikari spoke to the three new comers. She stroked a hand through her hair and smiled sadly. "But I guess you'll have to find out when the rain clears up between them."
"Huh?" wondered all three of them and even Kairi who had no clue either. Yes, Hikari had just stumped the world.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Welcome back, Yuffie! I need your help with the customer, so could you please put on an apron and attend to table Beta?" asked Aerith. Yuffie stumbled past her, waving a hand limply in her general direction.
"I'd love to, but I got a paper dued tomorrow. Plus, I haven't even started on the-"
"I'll give you fifty bucks," offered Aerith, not amused by her act.
"AND THAT CAN WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW!!!" shouted Yuffie, throwing her suitcase backwards. Fortunately, it missed Aerith's head by a hair, and unfortunately, it slapped the customer who had just entered the restaurant in the face.
"Yuffie!" snapped Aerith, noticing the near-death-experience.
"I'll be right on it!" shouted Yuffie as she dashed to the back of the restaurant to where she kept a change of clothes. In no time flat, she bounced out dressed in a camouflage flares and a tight long sleeve evergreen shirt the ended an inch above her belly button. She tied on her head band, strapped on her boots, and wrapped an apron around her body, tying the string both at her waist and around her neck. She bounded to Aerith's side and flung her arms in the air as she shouted -
"TA~DA!!!" squealed Yuffie, grinning. "Best Female Ninja at your service!!"
Aerith glared at her, then shoved a small notebook and pencil into her hands. "Right whatever, just take care of tables Beta, Omega, and Zima," Commander Aerith ordered Private Yuffie. "I'll take care of the rest. Report back to me if they give you any trouble. Don't go just pulling out your ninja stars you did like last time-"
"He pinched my butt-"
"-And I completely understand your reasons, but we need customers, not less. MORE. Got it. Now head out!"
With a pencil in one hand and the notebook in the other, Yuffie made it to her first table of a young couple and their daughter. She smiled at the child that waved to her.
"Hi, I'm Yuffie, and welcome to 'Gainsborough Burrow!' What would you like to drink!" asked Yuffie. The couple let go of each other's hands and glanced up to her, smiling.
"Um, yes, well, she'd like a Pina Colada, and I'd like beer-"
"I thought you'd be the DD," interrupted the wife. The little girl continued to the draw into the paper that draped the table. (A/N: You know, one of those table cloths that's totally made out of paper? I sat at one in the Macaroni Grill and was able to draw everything I wanted all over it.^_^)
"It's just one beer, honey," confessed the husband.
"Uh-huh, that's what you always say," declared the wife, folding her arms over he chest.
"Look, why don't you be the Designated Driver this time?" suggested the husband.
Yuffie darted her eyes between the husband and the wife.
"I've been the last DD for about five times already! It's my turn to get a drink."
"But I've had a rough day at work! I need one!"
"What, and you just assume my day was all happy, happy , happy!? I had to deal with two kindergarten classes today! TWO! All because one teacher decided to get in a car accident..."
"So?! I had to deal with three cases today in the criminal/drug devision and one was called guilty!"
"Ha! Like you need to blitz for only three measly cases-"
"And you need to get wasted for only a couple of mere children!"
"Mere children!? One of them threw up in a lil' girl's hat, two boys got into a fight, and a child dropped his pet snake down my dress! I have enough to deal with!"
"But two of my cases were delayed and the other was found guilty. And now...now any innocent man was sent to the death...because of me!!" The husband began to weep, attracting the stares of the other customers. The wife leaned over and wrapped her arms around her husband and tried to comfort him.
Yuffie stood there, wondering what was she supposed to do. Oddly enough, she felt a tug at her apron. She glanced down to find the little girl with the tall menu. She smiled shortly, then quickly changed her expression seriously. She pointed to the menu, then glanced up.
"Give Mommy a diet coke and daddy a Sprite. I want Hawaiian Punch, 'kay?" ordered the little girl. Yuffie blinked, confused at first, then she sketched it down.
"Uh-huh. Anything else? Bread sticks and some sauce?" asked Yuffie. The little girl nodded.
"Yeah, that'd be good. And give daddy and mommy lasss lass-"
"Lasagna?"
"Yeah, and me some spaaaaagetteh and meatballs..... got it?" asked the little girl glancing up from the menu. Yuffie finished the last note.
"Yep, got it! Thanksies!" appreciated Yuffie as she hit her next target. A table of male teenagers. Oh, whoop de doo. After groaning, she tried to put on her cheerful smile and tried to approach them with kindness. Well, she tried.
"Heeeeeeeyyy.. oh shit. Whatever," Yuffie groaned as she rolled her eyes, raising her notebook to sketch down orders. "Hi, my name is Yuffie. May I take your order?"
"Stop it! You're gonna make me mess up my drawing!" exclaimed the shorter boy. Yuffie blinked, wondering if she was seeing things right. The shorter boy with blonde hair was being kissed to death, all over his face by the taller boy with brown hair. They both seemed to be at least a few years older than her and still young. In fact, all of them looked a few years older like they were college students. The other two were a black haired and a Hawaiian with extremely tan skin. The Hawaiian smiled up to her as the black haired wrote into the table paper/cloth.
"Oh, hi! We'd just like four beers, please! Budlights, thanks!" declared the Hawaiian teenager. Yuffie nodded, placing the order down.
"One question: no cat calls? No butt pinching?! No feeble attempts to get a date with me ?" asked Yuffie, chewing on the end of her pencil. The two stared at her, confused.
"Welllllll, no. Uh, we're sort of-"
"Gay," answered the black haired, bluntly. Yuffie blinked, then tackled them with love and understanding! (A/N: Something I would do.)
"You're my favorite customers!! I'm throwing in a free appetizer!" exclaimed Yuffie. The Hawaiian blinked, then slowly answered.
"Uhm....yes....well...okay..." he commented.
"I told you. Girls just find homosexual's wonderful. It's not a statement; it's a matter of fact," declared the black haired teenager as he narrowed his eyes at his Hawaiian lover.
"Mmm, I guess," agreed Hawaiian.
Yuffie left her second table for her last. Hopefully, it was someone normal. Someone sane. Someone who knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted it. Someone that didn't hesitate to order her around. Someone blunt and quiet. Someone like-
"Hi! I'm Yuffie, and welcome to 'Gainsborough Burrow!' How can I be of service to you?" asked Yuffie, bright and happy.
The customer pulled down the menu to look at her. It was Prof. Leon.
They both gazed at each other, surprised, until they narrowed their eyes in glares. At once, they spoke.
"It's like you're stalking me."

Aerith glared at her, then shoved a small notebook and pencil into her hands. "Right whatever, just take care of tables Beta, Omega, and Zima," Commander Aerith ordered Private Yuffie. "I'll take care of the rest. Report back to me if they give you any trouble. Don't go just pulling out your ninja stars you did like last time-"
"He pinched my butt-"
"-And I completely understand your reasons, but we need customers, not less. MORE. Got it. Now head out!"
With a pencil in one hand and the notebook in the other, Yuffie made it to her first table of a young couple and their daughter. She smiled at the child that waved to her.
"Hi, I'm Yuffie, and welcome to 'Gainsborough Burrow!' What would you like to drink!" asked Yuffie. The couple let go of each other's hands and glanced up to her, smiling.
"Um, yes, well, she'd like a Pina Colada, and I'd like beer-"
"I thought you'd be the DD," interrupted the wife. The little girl continued to the draw into the paper that draped the table. (A/N: You know, one of those table cloths that's totally made out of paper? I sat at one in the Macaroni Grill and was able to draw everything I wanted all over it.^_^)
"It's just one beer, honey," confessed the husband.
"Uh-huh, that's what you always say," declared the wife, folding her arms over he chest.
"Look, why don't you be the Designated Driver this time?" suggested the husband.
Yuffie darted her eyes between the husband and the wife.
"I've been the last DD for about five times already! It's my turn to get a drink."
"But I've had a rough day at work! I need one!"
"What, and you just assume my day was all happy, happy , happy!? I had to deal with two kindergarten classes today! TWO! All because one teacher decided to get in a car accident..."
"So?! I had to deal with three cases today in the criminal/drug devision and one was called guilty!"
"Ha! Like you need to blitz for only three measly cases-"
"And you need to get wasted for only a couple of mere children!"
"Mere children!? One of them threw up in a lil' girl's hat, two boys got into a fight, and a child dropped his pet snake down my dress! I have enough to deal with!"
"But two of my cases were delayed and the other was found guilty. And now...now any innocent man was sent to the death...because of me!!" The husband began to weep, attracting the stares of the other customers. The wife leaned over and wrapped her arms around her husband and tried to comfort him.
Yuffie stood there, wondering what was she supposed to do. Oddly enough, she felt a tug at her apron. She glanced down to find the little girl with the tall menu. She smiled shortly, then quickly changed her expression seriously. She pointed to the menu, then glanced up.
"Give Mommy a diet coke and daddy a Sprite. I want Hawaiian Punch, 'kay?" ordered the little girl. Yuffie blinked, confused at first, then she sketched it down.
"Uh-huh. Anything else? Bread sticks and some sauce?" asked Yuffie. The little girl nodded.
"Yeah, that'd be good. And give daddy and mommy lasss lass-"
"Lasagna?"
"Yeah, and me some spaaaaagetteh and meatballs..... got it?" asked the little girl glancing up from the menu. Yuffie finished the last note.
"Yep, got it! Thanksies!" appreciated Yuffie as she hit her next target. A table of male teenagers. Oh, whoop de doo. After groaning, she tried to put on her cheerful smile and tried to approach them with kindness. Well, she tried.
"Heeeeeeeyyy.. oh shit. Whatever," Yuffie groaned as she rolled her eyes, raising her notebook to sketch down orders. "Hi, my name is Yuffie. May I take your order?"
"Stop it! You're gonna make me mess up my drawing!" exclaimed the shorter boy. Yuffie blinked, wondering if she was seeing things right. The shorter boy with blonde hair was being kissed to death, all over his face by the taller boy with brown hair. They both seemed to be at least a few years older than her and still young. In fact, all of them looked a few years older like they were college students. The other two were a black haired and a Hawaiian with extremely tan skin. The Hawaiian smiled up to her as the black haired wrote into the table paper/cloth.
"Oh, hi! We'd just like four beers, please! Budlights, thanks!" declared the Hawaiian teenager. Yuffie nodded, placing the order down.
"One question: no cat calls? No butt pinching?! No feeble attempts to get a date with me ?" asked Yuffie, chewing on the end of her pencil. The two stared at her, confused.
"Welllllll, no. Uh, we're sort of-"
"Gay," answered the black haired, bluntly. Yuffie blinked, then tackled them with love and understanding! (A/N: Something I would do.)
"You're my favorite customers!! I'm throwing in a free appetizer!" exclaimed Yuffie. The Hawaiian blinked, then slowly answered.
"Uhm....yes....well...okay..." he commented.
"I told you. Girls just find homosexual's wonderful. It's not a statement; it's a matter of fact," declared the black haired teenager as he narrowed his eyes at his Hawaiian lover.
"Mmm, I guess," agreed Hawaiian.
Yuffie left her second table for her last. Hopefully, it was someone normal. Someone sane. Someone who knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted it. Someone that didn't hesitate to order her around. Someone blunt and quiet. Someone like-
"Hi! I'm Yuffie, and welcome to 'Gainsborough Burrow!' How can I be of service to you?" asked Yuffie, bright and happy.
The customer pulled down the menu to look at her. It was Prof. Leon.
They both gazed at each other, surprised, until they narrowed their eyes in glares. At once, they spoke.
"It's like you're stalking me."
