Konnichiwa! It's Saturday! *loud cheering and confetti comes down from
ceiling* Instead of cleaning my room, I'm gonna try to get another chapter
up! BEWARE! This chapter is L-O-N-G!
Chapter 8
Kali ran as hard as she could to the water. Kai was right behind her.
"GO KAI!" Popuri yelled.
"What do you mean 'go Kai'? I believe you mean GO KALI!" Gray shouted right back.
Kali grinned as she ran the last few feet into the water. She and Kai were racing to the giant rock near the end of the dock. They had gotten Cliff on the rock so he could see who would get to the rock first (A/N- yes I know, Cliff says he can't swim at the swimming contest in the actual game, but who cares?). Kali ran until the water was up to her knees, and then dove in. Kai was still behind her, but closer than he was before. Kali started to swim under the water, rather than above. She could move faster beneath it. She could hear Kai's arms hitting the water as he swam, still behind her. Kali could see the rock getting closer, and closer. . .
A streak of purple sped past Kali on her left. Kai was swimming as fast as he could to pass Kali. She put on a burst of speed, trying to get past him again, but it didn't work. Kai touched the rock about three seconds before Kali.
"HA! I win! You loose," Kai shouted and climbed onto the rock. Gray put his hands on his head and fell dramatically to his knees in the sand. Popuri stopped screaming, looked down at him, and rolled her eyes. Kali surfaced slowly.
"I will have my revenge, don't you worry," Kali assured Kai and grabbed onto the rock.
"How did you win, Kai? Kali was doing much better than you," Cliff asked as he dangled his feet in the water. Kai smiled and flexed his arm muscles (LOL I FORGOT WHAT THEY'RE CALLED!).
"I call it . . . practice," Kai said and shrugged. Kali pushed him off the rock and into the water.
"And I call it showing off," she declared as Kai came back to the surface, sputtering. He shook the water out of his ears and climbed back on the rock.
"What time are you going to eat with Gray? It's already. . ." Kai checked the watch that he strangely still had on. "4:30 PM." Kali gasped.
"OHMYGOSH! I still have to take a shower and do my hair and paint my fingers and paint my toes and find an outfit and. . . ."
"KALI SHUT UP! You have time! Dinner at the Inn starts at 6, so you have an hour and a half," Kai reminded her. Kali breathed slowly a couple of times and jumped back into the water.
"Okay, I am going to get ready, so see ya guys later," she called and swam out of the water.
"Good idea. I'm going home to change. I'll get you here at 6," Gray said and walked off the beach. Popuri looked at Kai and Cliff out in the water.
"What am I gonna do?" Kali thought for a moment.
"Well you could come inside and help me pick out something to wear if you want," Kali suggested. Popuri's eyes lit up.
"Okay!"
Kali lead Popuri onto the boat, where almost all of her clothes were.
"Okay, my clothes are in here," Kali said and pointed to her suitcase. "You can pick from anything in there. I'm going to take a shower now, so I'll be out in a minute or two." Popuri nodded; already absorbed in trying to figure out whether Kali should wear a dress or a skirt. Kali turned on the small shower's water and made it hot. She climbed in slowly and let the water take all of the salt from the beach off her back. Her favorite kiwi smelling shampoo was on the side of the shower stall, so Kali grabbed it and squirted some into her hair. She rinsed it out and then squirted kiwi conditioner into her hair. She also rinsed that out, and started to wash her arms. 10 minutes later, Kali stepped out of the bathroom in a robe.
"Okay Popuri, what did you find?" The only answer Kali got was an evil grin from Popuri.
~~~*6PM, at the beach*~~~
Gray's jaw nearly hit the ground when he saw Kali. Her bandana wasn't on for the first time, revealing her light brown neatly French braided hair, done by Popuri. She wore a light purple eye shadow and clear lip gloss. Her clothes were a long, dark purple silky skirt and a powder blue v-neck shirt.
"I-I . . . uh . . . wow," Gray muttered and blushed. Kali grinned widely.
"You like? Popuri did almost everything. I did my own make up, though. I guess it's a little too fancy for the Inn, but . . ." She broke off, looking at Gray curiously. "Hey, you changed. Cool shirt." Gray was wearing a black shirt under a jacket resembling one of Kai's. His pants were also black.
"Yeah, actually Kai helped me pick something out," Gray confessed and took Kali's hand. "Let's go."
Kali and Gray walked silently hand in hand to the Inn. Gray opened the front door when they arrived.
"After you," he said and motioned with his free hand. Kali giggled.
"Why thank you!" Gray took Kali's hand again after they walked in. Kali was tingling with excitement. They sat down at an open table and picked up menus.
"Oh, I knew I'd see the two of you here eventually. You guys are such a cute couple," Ann said as she walked over. "Tonight's karaoke night! It's free, too, so if you want to sing, just go up to the stage when it's time. Do you know what you want?"
"Yeah, I'll have water and pasta," Kali replied and handed Ann the menu.
"I'll have the same thing, please," Gray said and also gave Ann the menu. She smiled at them and walked away.
"Oh, goody. I love karaoke! I'm gonna be the first one up there," Kali told Gray. "I used to do it all the time at Kai's restaurant back home." Gray nodded.
"So how do you like it here so far?" he asked her. Kali smiled. "It's great! Everyone's so nice. Kai was right when he told me there would be a guy here for me." Gray turned crimson. Ann came back with their food and placed it on the table.
"Here you go. Karaoke starts in five minutes so be ready," Ann told them and walked over to Karen, who was sitting at the bar. Sure enough, five minutes later, Ann grabbed a microphone and walked to the stage that was set up near the kitchen door.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Ann began and laughed. "Tonight is karaoke night! If anyone wants to begin besides Karen, please come to the stage now."
Kali stood up. "That would be me," she said to Gray and walked to the stage. Ann gave her the mike.
"What song do you want?" Kali whispered it in Ann's ear. Ann nodded and smiled. "Okay, start when the music starts! Good luck!" The music began to play in the back round. Kali took a deep breath and opened her mouth to sing.
"I've got it all, but I feel so deprived.
I go up, I come down, and I'm emptier inside.
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
and why can't I let it go?
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' up thinking there must be more to life.
Well its life, but I'm sure.
There's gotta be more . . .
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment, I'm halfway out the door.
Onto the next thing, I'm searching
for something that's missing.
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' up thinking there must be more to life.
Well its life, but I'm sure.
There's gotta be more . . .
There's gotta be more...
I'm wanting more.
I'm always waiting on something other than this.
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed?
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing down every temporary high
to satisfy me.
Cuz the more that I'm
trippin' up thinking there must be more to life.
Well its life, but I'm sure.
There's gotta be more . . . more to life. . . " Kali finished singing as the music slowed and stopped. The room was completely silent.
"Um. . . I wasn't that bad, was I?" Kali asked the audience awkwardly. A roar of applause followed. Kali walked off the stage and was surrounded by people. She eventually made it over to Gray, who was staring at her, amazed.
"What do you say we go back to the beach?" she asked him and grabbed his hand. He nodded and led her out the door.
"Wow. I had no clue you could sing like that," Gray said when they were outside. Kali shrugged.
"I used to take voice lessons. I loved singing but I ran out of time to do it." Gray nodded. The rest of the walk was quiet. They walked over to the Lodge's front door.
"I had a really good night Gray. Thank you," Kali said and blushed.
"I did too. You'll have to sing for me again," Gray said and smiled.
"I can do that," Kali said quietly and looked up. Gray was getting closer and closer . . .
Their lips met. Kali grabbed onto Gray's shoulders to keep herself from collapsing because her knees were shaking so much. They pulled apart a few seconds later. Kali giggled.
"That was my first kiss," she said and giggled again. Gray looked at her in amazement. "What's wrong with that? I kept it until I found the right guy," Kali said and smiled. Gray blushed and kissed her again.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Kali," Gray said.
"Yeah. . . Bye . . ." Kali said, a little dazed. She walked inside and screamed.
"KAI!!!! HE KISSED ME! OHMYGOSH!" There was a loud thump as Kai fell off the couch.
"Sheesh, took long enough. It's 1 AM, get some sleep!" Kai moaned and climbed back onto the couch. Kali danced around the couch for a few minutes.
"Hey wait, where do I sleep?" Kali asked, but Kai was already snoring.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*scream* I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD THAT IN ME!! *happy dance* the song Kali sang is 'There's Gotta be More to Life' by Stacie Orrico. It's my favoritist song ever. I took out some of the lyrics though, but it would take to much room. Please R&R! It took me 2 ½ hours to write this chapter! DO I NEED TO THREATEN YOU WITH MY MONKEYS AGAIN?? I think that was one of my good chapters ^_^ let me know!
