"Oh, Yuna?" I said trying to make out the whole face in the dark.
"Yes, couldn't sleep, you?" She asked taking a seat beside me.
"Yeah, something like that, " I said more to myself than to her. I pocketed the Oathkeeper that was still firmly in my tight grasp.
She accepted my answer. She brought her knees up and rested her chin on them as she wrapped her arms around her legs. Then she looked toward the stars.
"Tidus told me that once they all blinked out," she said referring to the stars "and Riku, Kairi, and you went on a big adventure. She said still looking at the stars.
"Yeah," I said looking at the stars also.
"I like this place...more than the place I used to live," She said the last five words quieter than the first.
"Yeah," I muttered. A moment of silence passed. I glanced at her. She was about to burst into a fit of giggles.
"What?!" I said completely looking at her now.
"Is the only word you can say, yeah?" She giggled between words.
Now I also burst into laughter. It didn't seem that funny, I just hadn't laughed in a long time.
"Hey guys, what's so funny?" Kairi asked as she came into view from the darkness.
"Hey Kairi!" I was so glad Riku wasn't with her "It's nothing, just laughing to be laughing," I answered her question from before.
"Hello Kairi," Yuna smiled at Kairi. Which was returned by Kairi. Kairi then took a seat on the other side of me.
"Do ya'll play Blitzball?" Yuna asked.
"Only occasionally," I said as Kairi shook her head no.
"Tidus and Wakka play it a lot though," Kairi added.
"Yeah," I said. Yuna and I both got hit by another fit of laughter. Kairi stared at us confused.
Just then a bright light shined in front of me and made me shut my eyes tight. Even though my eyes were closed, I could still partially see the blinding light through my eyelids.
"Owf," A girl's voice said and a light weight landed in my lap. I opened my eyes to see a skinny blonde headed girl, with her eyes squeezed closed in my lap.
"Rikku?!" I looked over to see Yuna smiling big looking at the girl in my lap.
"Yunie!!" The girl opened her eyes, which turned out to be green and squealed. The two girls hugged in a tight embrace. I would have been doubling over in laughter because two girls were practically in my lap hugging, but I was surprised , I'd never seen someone pop out of then air before. The two girls finally remembered they were not alone.
"Rikku this is Sora and Kairi. Sora and Kairi this is Rikku." Yuna introduced us.
"Hey!" She smiled brightly at us. She didn't move out of my lap, which surprised me a little. She kept her eyes on me until Kairi spoke up.
"I'm dating someone named Riku, just like your name!" Kairi said to Rikku. ' Oh great..' I thought sarcastically. I sighed, but of course, Kairi didn't notice.
There was a pause from Rikku. "You're dating a girl?" She asked surprised. Yuna and I burst out laughing and couldn't stop till a couple of seconds later.
"No, he's a guy, " Kairi said sounding a little annoyed.
"Oh, okay, good!" Rikku said perky again.
"Oh man," I said yawning "What time is it?"
"Probably around 2:00" Kairi answered.
I slid Rikku off my lap and stood up and stretched. "Good night, ladies, nice meeting ya Rikku," I said, then turned and headed toward my house.
"Wait up!" Rikku said following after me, then followed by Kairi. Yuna lay back down on the beach.
"Can you show me a place to stay?" Rikku said falling into step beside me.
"Well, I guess you could stay at my p-" I glanced back at Kairi remembering she was there. I didn't want to give Kairi the wrong idea. "My friend Kairi's place, if that's okay with her,"
At first Rikku looked a little disappointed because she knew what I was going to say, but her perkiness returned. "Is that okay with you?" She asked turning around so she was walking backwards.
There was a look of disgust on Kairi's face, but only for a second. I wasn't even sure I saw it. "Of course!" Kairi smiled. "It's this way," and started toward her home.
"Bye Cutie," Rikku kissed me on the cheek and ran to catch up with Kairi. Kairi looked as surprised as I felt. 'That was new, the only kiss I had ever gotten from a girl was my mother. And I just met Rikku. Oh, and Kairi's face, what was up with that? She looked a little...angry. Weird.' I watched as they disappeared into the darkness.
I heard laughter from the direction of the beach. It was Yuna.
"What's so funny?" I called out to her.
"I am laughing at Rikku," She said between giggles. "She's always like that,"
"Really?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah. You should see her when she's mad. She curses in her native language, Al Bhed. It's hilarious!"
I felt my cheeks burn as the word she called me sunk in, and right in front of Kairi! 'At least it's dark and Yuna can't see me blushing.'
"Are you still tired?" Yuna asked me once she stopped laughing.
"Not really, I just said that 'cause I was bored and I thought sleeping would get rid of it." I said.
"Same here, what do you do for fun around here? "Yuna asked me, finally falling into stride beside me. I slowed my pace so my longer legs wouldn't ware her out.

Author's Note- I know this chapter isn't that much longer, but hey, the shorter the chapters the more chapters, right? Heh heh anyways...REVEIW! Please. And thanks to those who reviewed last chapter. I'm not telling any of the relationships I have in mind (well, except for the first reviewer, which is taken) so just wait my story out and see what I have in mind!! R&R!
Editing Note- Today is...um 6/8/04 ... I think. LOL. I fixed it up as best as I could without totally changing it so the people who have already read it before wouldn't be confused. If that makes any sense...
