Chapter 7: "In a Party, Invisible."
The sun is slowly moving along crystal blue sky, Clouds moving and changing in perfect harmony with the shifting tides. The shining sun highlighting the beach each grain of sand sparkling and glistening.
It's a beautiful day for everyone even Sora. Everyone is at play in high sprits and this time nothing is holding Riku back from happiness not even his parents can stop him.
A beautiful day like this calls for hanging out with friends in where else then destiny islands inner city 'Night Gale'. So Sora, Tidus, Wakka and Selphie decide to brake away from their regular stuff like blitzball, dueling and racing and hang out around 'Night Gale'. They hop onto Wakka's car (technically its not Wakka's car it's his parents old junk heap that just happens to be called a car) and drove off to the city. (I bet they got lost...shut up other self! They did not get lost)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wakka: Oh man! I think were lost! *pulls over on the curb and takes a look at the map* (told you they got lost!)
Sora: How do you know were lost?
Selphie: The fact we've been passing the same intersection for the past...3 HOURS!
Sora: ...Wakka turn that f* radio off! We've been listening to your damn Jamaican music for the whole trip now!
Wakka: Hey it's my car en I can listen' to any music I want man! *turns the volume up*
Sora: f* this!
Selphie: Sora! Wakka! Stop it!
Sora: UH! Give me that damn map! *swipes the map away from Wakka*
Wakka: Hey!
Selphie: *looks at the map with Sora* Wakka you idiot you've been reading the map upside down!
Wakka: oh! I was wondering what 'dnalsi erihppas' was...
Sora: Hm...From the looks of this it says here we're in 'Sapphire Island'...
Selphie: What?! 'Sapphire Island'! That's south of Destiny Islands! That's a completely different island!
Sora: Damn it Wakka!
Wakka: Sorry man! I knew we should have asked for directions...
Selphie: Forget it! Wakka turn this car around we're heading home!
Sora: But we haven't even seen to 'Night Gale'!
Selphie: Sora just keep quiet!
Tidus: *yawns* where are we?
Sora: Gosh you slept through that?!
Tidus: hm...looks like were in Sapphire island just go to the first house to the right and straight on for 10 minutes and we'll be in 'Night Gale'...

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Night begins to set in and the moon and stars replace the now disappearing sun. Now the sky was a beautiful blue and the city lights have been turned on and everyone is enjoying themselves. Along the city sidewalks Riku and Kairi walk, passing and admiring the beautiful and exciting sights and sounds of the city. "Hey Riku I have an idea" Kairi told Riku. Riku seemed uninterested and rather just go to a restaurant and eat. Kairi holds Riku back by the arm, as he was about to walk in to a restaurant called 'Dencios'. "come on Riku let's go there instead" Kairi begs as she points to a club just across the street. "Please! It will be fun!" Kairi begged even more. "But your not even 18 yet." Riku replied. "Come on! I'll be 18 in a few hours or so," Kairi said as she pulled some more on Riku's leather jacket. "Fine since it will be your birthday soon..." Riku said in a submissive voice. "YAY! Come on!" Kairi exclaims as she struggles to pull Riku into the club.
Inside everything was wild and exciting there were people everywhere. In the background the song "renegade master" was charging everyone in the club full of energy. Everyone was dancing except for...Riku. ""come one Riku! What's the point of being in a club when your not even gonna dance!" Kairi said as she pulled furiously on Riku's arm but unable to even move him an inch from the seat. "I said we could go in but I didn't say anything about dancing...did I?" he replied teasingly. "aww...pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeee!" Kairi begged putting on her most pitiful face. "Fine! Maybe for a few minutes" Riku replied submitting to Kairi's will...again. They danced through the night and believe it or not Riku was a great dancer and he was actually enjoying himself. Kairi was so happy that Riku wasn't feeling forced to do what he seems to enjoy. It was 11:45 pm and Riu and Kairi finally stopped to rest. Riku who doesn't seem to be tired at all sat himself down and was about to order 2 root beer floats when Kairi nudged Riku. Riku then seemed to get Kairi's point and ordered 1 root beer float instead. After they finished the drink "Hey I'm going in again wanna come?" Kairi asked this time not forcing Riku. Riku replied "Nah I'll rest a bit more..." So Kairi stood up and made her way to the dance floor.
A man with teal hair, wearing a black leather vest and black pants, about 18 years old and roughly the same height as Riku started dancing with her. She didn't mind it until he started getting a little too close. He was already trying to get his hands on her when Kairi started to struggle away. The man held her by the wrist unwilling for her to leave. "Come on baby don't leave yet." The man uttered as he pulled Kairi back. "NO!" Kairi screamed but the man didn't care. When Riku noticed this he immediately stood up and made his way to where they were. "Hey! Didn't you hear her! She doesn't want to dance with a jerk like you!" Riku said and pushed the man away from Kairi. "Hey! Why I oughtta" the man yelled out as he was to punch Riku. Riku with no problem caught the man's fist and twisted it, breaking the man's wrist instantly. The man yelled in pain but wasn't about to give up. He attempted to throw Riku another punch with his other hand but Riku caught it again and this time he twisted the man's arm back. Now Riku was behind him with the man's arm in his strong grip. Riku held the man's shoulder pulling him back in a submission move and said "So...are you gonna leave her alone or do you want your want me to snap your other arm as well?" "Alright alright I'll leave you two alone" the man yelled in pain. "good" Riku replied and let the man go. Just as he did the man swerved to face Riku and in a threatinig voice "you haven't seen the last of me!" and he stormed off the club and he rammed through several bystanders. Everyone stared at the man leave and then switched their attention to Riku and Kairi then after a minute of staring everyone was back to dancing. "Riku thanks for helping me out back there" Kairi said as she moved closer to him. The music began to slow down into a romantic song. "no problem..." Riku replied as he looked at the other couples start dancing slowly. "Hey, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?" Riku asked as he motioned his hand in front of Kairi for a dance. "um...sure but I don't know how to.." "don't worry just move to the song" Riku cut off Kairi and started dancing with her. When Riku danced with Kairi it seemed like each step they made was so natural. Riku was a great dancer and when Kairi was in his arms it wasn't obvious on how bad she danced anymore. Then the spot light was on them. (try to imagine one of those balls where everything is dark and the spotlight was only on the price and princess dancing in the center and in their sight they can only see themselves dancing) Kairi hed her head resting on Riku's shoulder, and both of them had their eyes closed. Riku opened up hid eyes to look at his watch '12:01'. He then leaned into Kairi's ear and softly said "happy birthday Kairi...I love you." then he lifted Kairi's head and kissed her. At that very moment the long silence disappeared when everyone around them started clapping for the two...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
While Riku and Kairi were going through this let's see what was happening with Sora and the others were going through at the same period of time...
Their long arguing, pummeling, yelling and complaining finally got them to 'Night Gale'. Selphie had fallen asleep from all the fighting while Sora was contemplating the map and Tidus was...well still sleeping. Wakka was driving around the crowded city streets when suddenly the sound of blasting music came out from a club they had passed by. Wakka saw Riku being pulled by Kairi into the club. "hm...I wonda what all the commotion is about...oh well" Wakka said as he continued driving along the road. Selphie had awaked and started yelling and complaining again.
Selphie: HEY! I said that we were going home! What are we doing here?!
Wakka: Hey Tidus and Sora wanted to go and you were outnumbered.
Sora: Yup!
Selphie: but...but its way pass my curfew!
Sora: Don't worry! I used Wakka's cell to phone our parents that we were going to stay over at Wakka's place!
Selphie: but! Oh fine...we're here we might as well just enjoy ourselves.
Wakka: now that's the spirit!
Sora: So where do you wanna go?
Selphie: Hey how about over there? *points to a near by karaoke bar*
Sora: Hey that looks like fun! Let's go over there Wakka!
Wakka: All right!
They pulled up and parked a block away from the karaoke bar. "Hey what about Tidus?" Selphie asked the other two, as they were about to leave the car. "We better wake him up" Wkka responded. "HEY TIDUS DO YOU WANT TO PARTY OR WHAT?!" Sora suddenly shouted at Tidus's ear. At this Tidus springed up and hopped out of the junk heap um...I mean car! They walked in the bar and took a seat. They ordered some drinks and started talking. Sora didn't pay attention to the group's conversation but instead all his attention was on a girl singing on stage. The girl was singing a rather odd but catchy song called "My World"; she was good Sora had to admit.
The girl looked...very...um...unique?! Yeah that's it! The girl looked very "unique"! She had long, straight brownish blondish hair, or you could say she was a brunette in other words with a side wards dark blue cap. Her skin was rather pale but still colored with the blush she had on her face when a man on the other table gave her a wink. Her eyes were a bright blue that complimented her whole outfit. She was wearing a camouflage print shirt with a necktie. And to top it all of she wore long blue jeans. (I molded this character out of 'Avril Lavigne').
When Sora looked at the man the girl was facing he became depressed. "must be her boyfriend or something..." Sora thought to himself and returned his attention back to the girl on stage. "...I'm off again in my world." Were the lines that ended her song and it all followed off by loud clapping and hollering. When the girl stepped of the stage everyone was crowding around her, probably asking for autographs even if she wasn't famous, complimenting, admiring and swooning over her...
Wakka: Hey Sora! What do ya think?
Sora: huh?
Selphie: Gosh he didn't even listen a bit to our important conversation!
Sora: uh...sorry what did I miss?
Selphie: Well we were arguing at "what came first the chicken or the egg?" Thing.
Tidus: Well I still say the egg came first!
Selphie: NO! the chicken did!
Tidus: What makes YOU so sure?!
Selphie: Well...what makes you so sure?!
Wakka: So Sora, what's your opinion?
Unknown to the group Sora had disappeared into the crowd of people during their conversation. He pushes and pulls himself through the crowd trying to reach the girl who caught his eye and his heart. When he finally did reach her the rest of the crowd had spread out back to their seats. "um...hi!" Sora says in a nervous voice. Just then a voice that came from the entrance called out "Get over here now!" So the girl rushed replied "um...excuse me but sorry I have to go now..." as she pushed her way through the crowd and to a rather grown man in a coat. "but...wait!" Sora cried out but unfortunately the sound of horrible amateuristic singing and the people talking, booing and yelling muffled away his voice. Sora let out a sigh and walked back to the table. "Hey where's Selphie?" Sora asked Tidus and Wakka. But because of the horrible singing in the background they couldn't hear a thing. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?! SELPHIE IS SINGING AND WE CAN BARELY HEAR YOU!" Tidus yelled out to Sora. Sora had no reply and just stood up and left.
When he went outside to have a little breathing room there he saw her, the girl that had enlightened his once gloomy heart, The girl whose voice was the response he got after his heart had cried for help, the girl who he had just fallen head over heels in love with. Unfortunately Sora had no idea what her name was and the girl didn't even know Sora existed. It seemed like she was in an argument with the elder man in the parking lot. Sora could hear each of their words clearly. "Your hopeless! You won't amount to anything if you neglect your studies just to sing!" the man yelled. "I can sing well you should support me!" the girl cried back. "SUPPORT YOU?! Why should I bother?! You aren't going to become some famous pop star! You'll be a lawyer like me and your brother!" the man yelled furiously. "Why should I follow in your footsteps?! I can lead my own life!" the girl yelled back. "Fine I'll leave you here! You can probably just live your own life here in the city! Go try to make a living by singing! But I assure you that you will never be able to make a living the way you are!" The man yelled as he made his way to his car. "FINE I WILL!" the girl cried out to the man who is now driving away. The girl started to cry and ran back into the karaoke bar. "Hey! Um excuse me!" Sora tried to call the girls attention but with out taking notice she stormed in to the bar. Sora again let out a sigh and walked back in. He made his way back to his friends. "Hey Sora! Where have ya been?" Wakka asked as Sora sat himself down. Sora had no reply. "Well you missed my best performance yet" Selphie proudly remarked. "Right...I bet." Tidus said mockingly. "Well I don't care about your opinion!" Selphie replied proudly. "Hey Sora I have an idea! I dare ya to go up there and sing!" Wakka exclaimed. Sora had no reply. All his friends were coaxing him to go on with the dare. Accepting defeat Sora stood up and made his way on stage. In his thoughts... "hey this would be a great way to get that girls attention! And I know the perfect song!" So Sora went up on stage and started. "hey this is for you!" Sora exclaimed winking at the girl he admired. The girl blushed at the sight of the sweet boy's goofy expression.
"What are you doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Still in your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive" He began the song.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)" He sang as he walked around the stage.
"I saw your face in the crowd
I called out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could be what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life" then he stepped of the stage with the mic in hand.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)" He starts walking around. All the girls in the room were swooning over him.
"I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm screaming
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through" He walks towards the girl.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible" circles the chair the girl was sitting on.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible (Wait..I already am)" And with the final line sung he slowly leans toward the girl.
He leaned towards the girl and kissed her lightly on the lips. The girl had a sudden rush of electricity through her body and she blushed like mad. At this everyone in the bar were clapping for Sora not only for his great voice and performance but also at him kissing the girl. Sora leaned away and walked back to the stage to return the mic and take a bow. People crowded around Sora, mostly girls. But Sora wasn't listening to all their admirations and compliments. He was searching the crowd for the girl he longed to get to know. He pushed his way through the crowd to meet the girl.
It was about 12:01 am when the karaoke bar closed. The friends were the last people out. Wakka, Tidus and Selphie were playing around with Sora. Unknown to the group the girl that Sora had admired was now crying in a cold alley.
Wakka: Hey Sora that was a great performance!
Tidus: Yeah! And who was the girl?
Sora: I don't really know her.
Selphie: I can't believe you sing that well!
Sora: heh thanks.
Wakka: Looks like Sora has a crush on another girl!
Tidus: Gosh Sora! Once you see Kairi with Riku you suddenly forget about her and chase another girl!
Sora: I did NOT forget about Kairi!
Wakka: oh really!
Sora: I just accepted the fact that Kairi and Riku is a couple and I should just move on.
Selphie: That girl was very pretty she's perfect for you.
Just as they were about to get in the car they heard sobbing coming from a nearby alley. Sora, curious, walked over to the alley. "um...hi" Sora said as he walked into the alley. Ther he saw the girl sitting on the cold ground with her head tucked in between her knees crying. The girl had no reply. Sora stepped closer and asked, "Are you...um...okay". The girl was silent. So Sora stuck out his hand to the girl "Come on I'll give you a ride home." The girl looked up and said "no..." "Why?" Sora asked. "I'm suppose to be fending for myself...and besides I don't want to go back to my home..." the girl replied solemnly. "Well you can just stay over at my house for the night" Sora said in a high-spirited voice. The girl looked up again and took Sora's hand. Sora was smiling and happy that the girl came to her senses and he helped her up onto her feet.
They walked out of the alley with their hands together and made their way to the junk heap- I mean car. Tidus and Selphie had fallen asleep and Wakka was about to fall asleep as well until the sound of footsteps got him awake and he started up the car...

While Riku and Kairi were going through this let's see what was happening with Sora and the others were going through at the same period of time...
Their long arguing, pummeling, yelling and complaining finally got them to 'Night Gale'. Selphie had fallen asleep from all the fighting while Sora was contemplating the map and Tidus was...well still sleeping. Wakka was driving around the crowded city streets when suddenly the sound of blasting music came out from a club they had passed by. Wakka saw Riku being pulled by Kairi into the club. "hm...I wonda what all the commotion is about...oh well" Wakka said as he continued driving along the road. Selphie had awaked and started yelling and complaining again.
Selphie: HEY! I said that we were going home! What are we doing here?!
Wakka: Hey Tidus and Sora wanted to go and you were outnumbered.
Sora: Yup!
Selphie: but...but its way pass my curfew!
Sora: Don't worry! I used Wakka's cell to phone our parents that we were going to stay over at Wakka's place!
Selphie: but! Oh fine...we're here we might as well just enjoy ourselves.
Wakka: now that's the spirit!
Sora: So where do you wanna go?
Selphie: Hey how about over there? *points to a near by karaoke bar*
Sora: Hey that looks like fun! Let's go over there Wakka!
Wakka: All right!
They pulled up and parked a block away from the karaoke bar. "Hey what about Tidus?" Selphie asked the other two, as they were about to leave the car. "We better wake him up" Wkka responded. "HEY TIDUS DO YOU WANT TO PARTY OR WHAT?!" Sora suddenly shouted at Tidus's ear. At this Tidus springed up and hopped out of the junk heap um...I mean car! They walked in the bar and took a seat. They ordered some drinks and started talking. Sora didn't pay attention to the group's conversation but instead all his attention was on a girl singing on stage. The girl was singing a rather odd but catchy song called "My World"; she was good Sora had to admit.
The girl looked...very...um...unique?! Yeah that's it! The girl looked very "unique"! She had long, straight brownish blondish hair, or you could say she was a brunette in other words with a side wards dark blue cap. Her skin was rather pale but still colored with the blush she had on her face when a man on the other table gave her a wink. Her eyes were a bright blue that complimented her whole outfit. She was wearing a camouflage print shirt with a necktie. And to top it all of she wore long blue jeans. (I molded this character out of 'Avril Lavigne').
When Sora looked at the man the girl was facing he became depressed. "must be her boyfriend or something..." Sora thought to himself and returned his attention back to the girl on stage. "...I'm off again in my world." Were the lines that ended her song and it all followed off by loud clapping and hollering. When the girl stepped of the stage everyone was crowding around her, probably asking for autographs even if she wasn't famous, complimenting, admiring and swooning over her...
Wakka: Hey Sora! What do ya think?
Sora: huh?
Selphie: Gosh he didn't even listen a bit to our important conversation!
Sora: uh...sorry what did I miss?
Selphie: Well we were arguing at "what came first the chicken or the egg?" Thing.
Tidus: Well I still say the egg came first!
Selphie: NO! the chicken did!
Tidus: What makes YOU so sure?!
Selphie: Well...what makes you so sure?!
Wakka: So Sora, what's your opinion?
Unknown to the group Sora had disappeared into the crowd of people during their conversation. He pushes and pulls himself through the crowd trying to reach the girl who caught his eye and his heart. When he finally did reach her the rest of the crowd had spread out back to their seats. "um...hi!" Sora says in a nervous voice. Just then a voice that came from the entrance called out "Get over here now!" So the girl rushed replied "um...excuse me but sorry I have to go now..." as she pushed her way through the crowd and to a rather grown man in a coat. "but...wait!" Sora cried out but unfortunately the sound of horrible amateuristic singing and the people talking, booing and yelling muffled away his voice. Sora let out a sigh and walked back to the table. "Hey where's Selphie?" Sora asked Tidus and Wakka. But because of the horrible singing in the background they couldn't hear a thing. "WHAT DID YOU SAY?! SELPHIE IS SINGING AND WE CAN BARELY HEAR YOU!" Tidus yelled out to Sora. Sora had no reply and just stood up and left.
When he went outside to have a little breathing room there he saw her, the girl that had enlightened his once gloomy heart, The girl whose voice was the response he got after his heart had cried for help, the girl who he had just fallen head over heels in love with. Unfortunately Sora had no idea what her name was and the girl didn't even know Sora existed. It seemed like she was in an argument with the elder man in the parking lot. Sora could hear each of their words clearly. "Your hopeless! You won't amount to anything if you neglect your studies just to sing!" the man yelled. "I can sing well you should support me!" the girl cried back. "SUPPORT YOU?! Why should I bother?! You aren't going to become some famous pop star! You'll be a lawyer like me and your brother!" the man yelled furiously. "Why should I follow in your footsteps?! I can lead my own life!" the girl yelled back. "Fine I'll leave you here! You can probably just live your own life here in the city! Go try to make a living by singing! But I assure you that you will never be able to make a living the way you are!" The man yelled as he made his way to his car. "FINE I WILL!" the girl cried out to the man who is now driving away. The girl started to cry and ran back into the karaoke bar. "Hey! Um excuse me!" Sora tried to call the girls attention but with out taking notice she stormed in to the bar. Sora again let out a sigh and walked back in. He made his way back to his friends. "Hey Sora! Where have ya been?" Wakka asked as Sora sat himself down. Sora had no reply. "Well you missed my best performance yet" Selphie proudly remarked. "Right...I bet." Tidus said mockingly. "Well I don't care about your opinion!" Selphie replied proudly. "Hey Sora I have an idea! I dare ya to go up there and sing!" Wakka exclaimed. Sora had no reply. All his friends were coaxing him to go on with the dare. Accepting defeat Sora stood up and made his way on stage. In his thoughts... "hey this would be a great way to get that girls attention! And I know the perfect song!" So Sora went up on stage and started. "hey this is for you!" Sora exclaimed winking at the girl he admired. The girl blushed at the sight of the sweet boy's goofy expression.
"What are you doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Still in your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive" He began the song.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)" He sang as he walked around the stage.
"I saw your face in the crowd
I called out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could be what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life" then he stepped of the stage with the mic in hand.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)" He starts walking around. All the girls in the room were swooning over him.
"I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm screaming
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through" He walks towards the girl.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible" circles the chair the girl was sitting on.
"If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invisible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible (Wait..I already am)" And with the final line sung he slowly leans toward the girl.
He leaned towards the girl and kissed her lightly on the lips. The girl had a sudden rush of electricity through her body and she blushed like mad. At this everyone in the bar were clapping for Sora not only for his great voice and performance but also at him kissing the girl. Sora leaned away and walked back to the stage to return the mic and take a bow. People crowded around Sora, mostly girls. But Sora wasn't listening to all their admirations and compliments. He was searching the crowd for the girl he longed to get to know. He pushed his way through the crowd to meet the girl.
It was about 12:01 am when the karaoke bar closed. The friends were the last people out. Wakka, Tidus and Selphie were playing around with Sora. Unknown to the group the girl that Sora had admired was now crying in a cold alley.
Wakka: Hey Sora that was a great performance!
Tidus: Yeah! And who was the girl?
Sora: I don't really know her.
Selphie: I can't believe you sing that well!
Sora: heh thanks.
Wakka: Looks like Sora has a crush on another girl!
Tidus: Gosh Sora! Once you see Kairi with Riku you suddenly forget about her and chase another girl!
Sora: I did NOT forget about Kairi!
Wakka: oh really!
Sora: I just accepted the fact that Kairi and Riku is a couple and I should just move on.
Selphie: That girl was very pretty she's perfect for you.
Just as they were about to get in the car they heard sobbing coming from a nearby alley. Sora, curious, walked over to the alley. "um...hi" Sora said as he walked into the alley. Ther he saw the girl sitting on the cold ground with her head tucked in between her knees crying. The girl had no reply. Sora stepped closer and asked, "Are you...um...okay". The girl was silent. So Sora stuck out his hand to the girl "Come on I'll give you a ride home." The girl looked up and said "no..." "Why?" Sora asked. "I'm suppose to be fending for myself...and besides I don't want to go back to my home..." the girl replied solemnly. "Well you can just stay over at my house for the night" Sora said in a high-spirited voice. The girl looked up again and took Sora's hand. Sora was smiling and happy that the girl came to her senses and he helped her up onto her feet.
They walked out of the alley with their hands together and made their way to the junk heap- I mean car. Tidus and Selphie had fallen asleep and Wakka was about to fall asleep as well until the sound of footsteps got him awake and he started up the car...
