*Walks in quietly.*

Um…hi…remember me?

O.O;;

OK I haven't updated in…….ages.

First of all I was busy, but that isn't my excuse. My excuse is…

I didn't want to.

Eep, don't kill me!

I felt like discontinuing it, since I had my Key To My heart fic to work on, PLUS I'm working on an original story for Fictionpress.com but it's so hard to get reviews on that site! They are my main goal to finish, this was just a fic for fun, and I wasn't very serious about it, until, people kept reviewing…and at first I was a bit pressured, but finally I told myself that I had to work on it….so I'm trying to, ok? So

So I'm sorry for the extremely long wait. ^^;

Next to all ze faithful reviewers out there: What can I say? Most authors tell the reviewers that R&R their stuff that they rule and they're really thankful that they review…..I can't really say anything that they wouldn't normally say but I can say this:

Thanks and…please bare with me if my updates are kinda slow! X.x

Chapter Four: Kairi Plus Puppies Equals Disaster. Prt 1

Riku sighed a bit has he turned in his sleep. Though his eyes were closed and darkness was all around him, he was aware of what was going on. Despite the fact that he was now a girl, with the craziest hormones ever, he was quiet peaceful in his bed right now…it was so calm…and soothing…and quie-

"Riku RIKU! Wake up, WAKE UP!"

Never Mind.

Riku snapped open, and as his surrounds seem to come more clear, he saw that in front of him, leaning over, was the grinning face of Kairi, her eyes shining and her hands clapped together. Well Riku was surprised.

"Aiyeee!" he shirked has he sat straight up, bonking heads with Kairi, who yelled out in pain, a hand on her hurting forehead, Riku was in the same situation, but he was also glaring at the groaning Kairi.

"Hey…what's the big idea? Can't a guy get some sleep around here?" he snapped not in a good mood, after what had just happened. Kairi raised her eyebrows and shook her head, on hand on her hip.

"You mean girl," at this Riku rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. Kairi shook her head, and made a tsk tsk sound.

"My! Aren't we moody today?" Riku only grunted, and turned his head, making his wispy silver hair whip his cheeks gently. Kairi shook her head once again, but continued with what she was saying.

"Anyways, ya hafta get outta bed now and hurry up and eat!" Riku frowned, and turned to look at the digital clock that was on his night stand. It was only 12:00 PM.…scratch that… so it was pretty late…but that wasn't the point. Riku glared at her.

"Why?" he snapped, and Kari grinned, a mysterious grin….a grin that Riku had learn to despise. He glowered at Kari and fiercely shook his head.

"What are you planning?" I'm NOT drinking anymore of your junk unless it's the one that'll turn me back into a guy! Got that?! So whatever-" Kari cut him off with a loud groan and shook her head.

"No no no! It's not THAT. Just get dressed, and come downstairs. Selphie and I will explain….oh and there's some new clothes in the bag, by your door." she said pointing to a black bag on the floor next to the brown door. Riku rolled his eyes, and lazy waved his hand in a shooing motion. Kairi sighed, and turned, shaking her head as she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Riku's lips turned into a small grin as he rested his head back the nice soft pillow and snuggled back deep into the covers, sighing in content, happy for the peace and quiet.

"AND DON"T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT GOING BACK TO SLEEP!" boomed Kairi from down the hall.

* * *

Selphie frowned, her hands on her hips.

"Where is she!?" she snapped, and Sora who was eating a bagel covered in cream cheese, glanced at the angered Selphie.

"Caum dowf Shelphfie." Sora said through bits of bagel stuffed into his mouth. The two of them were stilling in the kitchen of Riku's small island house that he shared with his mother, and where supposedly 'Rika' was staying. Sora was wolfing down two bagels and a glass of milk that Riku's mother had offered him Selphie refused any food from Riku's mother and tapped her foot angrily on the wooden floor, wondering when Riku would hurry up and change already!

"I have every right to be angry! He-er- she," she quickly looked at Sora hoping he didn't catch her mistake. He didn't. In fact he wasn't even listening to the angered Selphie. This got her even madder, which wasn't such a wise thing to do at the present time…but as usual Sora was only being…well Sora.

"Sora!" Sora nearly choked on a mouthful of bagel and turned to glare at Selphie who glared back, her fists clenched.

"If Riku doesn't hurry up and get changed then we can't do this…..am I the only one who cares?" she snapped. It was a good thing she didn't hear Sora mumble "you are the only one who cares" or he would have been choking on something much bigger then bits of bagel…a fist of an angry Selphie perhaps.

"And where is Kairi?!" exploded Selphie again. Sora rolled his eyes while she went on. "She said she only had to step out for a minute! It's been…" she glanced at her wrist, then realizing she didn't have a watch made her even more upset, that she stomped her sandaled feet on the hard wooden ground, and started muttering other random problems.

Sora decided to ignore her little outburst. Just then there was the sound of someone approaching the living room. Selphie immediately snapped out of her foul mood, and grinned as Rika's voice could be heard down the hall, and she didn't sound very happy.

"Kairi! Do you R-" Rika abruptly stopped in mid sentence as she reached the kitchen.

Rika blushed.

Selphie gasped.

Sora went wide eyed.

The thick and extremely awkward silence that filled the room, was broken by Sora choking on bits of bagel, his eyes still wide. And then Selphie exploded.

"RIKA! Have you no SHAME!?" shouted Selphie.

Riku was standing in the kitchen, with only a pair of jean shorts on, and a bra. In his hand, he held a maroon colored tank top, which he obviously had a problem with. But that was the farthest thing from his mind now, as his eyes fell on the choking Sora, who's eyes were like saucers.

Oh dear god, not again…. he thought, so shocked that he couldn't move, while Selphie was shouting at him.

Sora, quickly grabbed the whole carton of orange juice on the table, and gulped it down, then with amazing speed, zoomed out the room, almost falling over his chair, then almost falling over his two legs.

"See you outside!" he muttered, his eyes glued to the floor as he sped out of the house, his face redder then a beet.

Selphie was still shouting.

"-and first the bathroom thing, now thi-" Riku gritted his teeth, as he slowly floated back to reality, Selphie's scolding ringing in his ears. Poor ears.


"Argh, shut up!" He snapped, and surprisingly Selphie fell silent, yet a glare was planted on her face.

"Do you have a thing for Sora seeing you half naked or something?" she snapped, her hands folded. She actually looked serious. Riku blushed, and a sick feeling arose in his stomach.

"Are you insane? Wait. Yes you are." Selphie made a face.

"Why'd you come down here? You're not even dressed!" Riku glared and crossed his arms, unaware of the fact, that he looked more feminine then ever. Selphie noted this and smiled to herself.

"You are not serious! Do you expect me to wear this!?" he shouted, in his new light voice, holding up the maroon tank top. Selphie blinked.

"Well yeah I do. I don't think they'll allow you into the mall with just some shorts and a bra." Riku flushed.

"That's not what I meant! I mean, the neck on this thing, is too low!" Selphie grabbed, the tank top and inspected it. "Nope, looks fine to me." Riku fumed.

"It does no- Wait. Mall?" Selphie nodded and grinned.

"Yep! Kairi, and Me are taking you shopping, on the nearby island, so you can get some new clothes. We can't just keep on giving you ours! Oh and Sora is coming too." Riku only stared. He never knew anything around here anymore. Selphie grinned.

"Well what are you waiting for? Put on the shirt!" she said with a grin. Riku rolled his eyes ad sighed a light sigh. He knew he wasn't going to win this one. Muttering he put on the tank top. It was more comfortable then he thought it was going to be, and it fit right on his female chest. He kinda liked it. Not that he would ever admit it…

Selphie nodded. "Yep, just like I thought. It looks good on you." Normally, if someone gave him such a compliment, he would shrug, or depending on who it was, glare. But now, he felt his cheeks shyly flush with color, and Selphie giggled.

Why why why me? Why do hormones hate ME so much?! he wailed inside his head.

Selphie grabbed his hand, and prepared to drag him out the door. "C'mon! We still gotta find Kairi! I don't know where she could have gone!" Riku scowled.

"Hey! I haven't even eaten anything yet! I'm starving!" he protested. Selphie scowled back, and grabbed a left over piece of bagel from Sora's plate.

"Here!" she snapped, and stuffed it into Riku's delicate mouth. Riku gagged, and clamped his hand over his mouth, trying to keep the bagel in. Selphie nodded, and headed towards the back door of the house, and Riku followed her still trying to swallow the bagel. It was a bit hard and cold, and the cream cheese that had been smeared on it had lost it's flavor, and it tasted…a little funny. But funny in a good way surprisingly. He liked the extra taste.

Suddenly Selphie stopped, and turned around, an uneasy look on her face, as she heard Riku swallow the last of the bagel.

"Oops…" she said softly.

"…what. Is. It. Now?" hissed Riku, his sea foam green eyes flashing. Selphie gulped.

"I think that was part of the bagel that Sora spit out when he was choking…" Riku's eyes went wide.

He was speechless.

For a moment anyway.

"SELPHIE!" he said, in a high pitched roar. Selphie scampered out, dodging Riku's death grip, and ran out the back door, Riku right behind her.

* * *

"Oh, there they are!" chirped Kairi, spotting Selphie and Riku running towards them. Sora went wide eyed (again.)

"Uh…why is Rika throwing rocks at Selphie?" he asked in a small voice, blushing when he saw the silver haired girl again. They didn't exactly get off on the greatest start.

Selphie ran up to them, with Riku scowling after her, both we panting hard. Selphie was the first to catch her breath.

"Um Kairi. What's what?" she asked, pointing to the figure behind Kairi who giggled. Selphie frowned, and Riku looked with interest. Sora lost the red blush in his cheeks from seeing Rika, and instead started to grin.

"Kairi found something on the island!" he exclaimed, and Kairi beamed. Selphie wrinkled her nose.

"Kairi, that something has four legs. And a tail. And it's drooling…ew…" Riku, gracefully put his hand over his mouth to stifle a giggle. It came so easy to him, for a second, he was surprised, but then realized Kairi was explaining something, he turned his attention to her.

"This lil' fella, was lying in the sand!" she exclaimed pointing to the adorable golden hair covered puppy, who looked a little dazed, and damp, but all in all happy, and it was sniffing furiously to see if the new humans who arrived were ok.

Sora turned to Kairi. "Fella? It's a guy?" Kairi nodded, and smiled.

"Yep. I checked." Everyone sweat dropped.

"Anyway…" prompted Selphie. Kairi, nodded.

"uh huh, so well, he didn't have a collar, and I want to keep him! He's SO CUTE! Isn't he Rika?" She picked up the golden and shoved it into Riku's face. Now, Riku did not like dogs. Scratch that he didn't like cute and fluffy pets. But to his surprise, he willingly took the puppy in his arms and gave it a hug.

Sora grinned. "He likes you." Riku smiled and nodded.

"Well I AM a likeable person…" he said with a very annoying high pitched giggle. He felt like stuffing a sock in his mouth and shoving it down as far as it could go, especially when Sora frowned and tilted his head, studying Riku.

Suddenly Kairi clapped her hands together and grinned.

"Well! We better get going now!" she exclaimed. Riku rolled his eyes, Sora sighed and Selphie shared her grin.

"How come Wakka and Tidus aren't coming?" He whined in annoyance. As if on cue, they heard two familiar voices from behind them.

"Yeah right. Like we'd be caught dead going to the mall with a bunch of girls!" said Tidus through laughter. Sora glared at him, which was much more of a pout. Riku caught himself glancing at Sora's baby soft cheeks, and felt his skin tingle.


" 'ey…Rika? You ok?" asked Wakka, who suddenly appeared two inches away from his nose. "You're face looks a little red, ya? Don' tell me you got sunburn' already!" The comment made Riku's face turn even more flushed, and Wakka noticed this. He merely winked.

From the corner of his eye, he spotted Selphie and Kairi, biting their lips, trying not to laugh. He inwardly scowled. Then he spotted Sora staring at him curiously, they made eye contact for a few seconds, until the brown haired boy quickly turned to say something to Selphie.

Kairi grinned at the boys. "Well, if you don't want to come get outta here!" With that being said the two boys scrambled away, Wakka shooting one last grin at Riku before he left. Selphie, seeing this hid a smile. Kairi clapped her hands together and beamed at Riku, Sora and Selphie.

"Well!" she said, her regular cheerful voice, "Lets get started, shall we?" she lead the way to the bridge that connected the tiny island to the rest of the town, holding the adorable puppy in her arms and Sora, Selphie and Riku were trailing behind her.

How could the four teenagers, plus one doggie know they were walking into disaster?

Ack okay okay! Don't get mad at me! I know, I know, that long of a wait and I wrote such a crappy chapter. But it's just part one, chapter five will be part two. Insane-ness is guaranteed to be ahead in future chapters, (And in the next one) Riku/Sora stuff, and a bunch of one-sided Wakka/Rika plus Kairi and Selphie trying to fix Riku and of course making things worse. Oh the fun ^^ I promise chapter five will not be as bad ^^ please believe me! LoL, adios!
