The Master of Prunes

Chapter Three

Riku sat in the corner of the Secret Place, resting his muscles. Then Kairi came in.

Mind if I... join you? Kairi asked.

Riku said.

Kairi walked over to him and sat behind him. Mind if I give you a massage? she asked.

Riku said.

You're supposed to say no if you want me to give you one when I ask that, Kairi said.

Riku said confusedly.

Kairi placed her hands on his shoulders. She began to rub them, and then she pounded on his back with all her force. Riku choked, and Kairi gave him the heimlich maneuver.

Then she continued massaging him, and she smiled. Her eyes lit up, and she massaged faster and faster. She was massaging at the speed of light!

Riku choked again, and Kairi laughed, massaging him quicker and quicker. He choked and choked, and she massaged and massaged. Then they both stopped.

Kairi laughed, pounding on Riku's back with all her force again. She pounded harder and harder.

Riku vomitted, and Kairi gasped loudly. Then she snorted. Riku beamed at her and laughed. They both laughed.

They laughed harder. They laughed for fifteen minutes, then thirty, then forty five, then an hour...

That was not funny, Riku said. But they continued laughing idioticly and stupidly for another hour.

Sora stormed into the Secret Place, his eyes bulging and a handful of burnt mushrooms in his hands. He threw them into his mouth and swallowed them.

What're you doing, freak? Kairi said, jumping to her feet.

What are you doing? Riku said in a singing voice. He stood up also. OOOOOH what are you doing... FREAK!

An enormous performance stage appeared with two large speakers. A loud yet catchy beat played, and Riku broke into song. The beat went faster, and he danced.

What are you doing today! he sang. OOOOOHHH what are you doing, hurray!

What the hell do you think you're doing, freak? Kairi said to Riku.

Riku sang loudly. Sora plugged his ears with two mushrooms.

Would you quit it, freak? Kairi yelled at Riku.

What are you doing today! Riku sang. OOOOOH what- are- you- do- ing TODDDDDAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!

The stage vanished, and so did the two speakers. Riku bowed, and Kairi kicked him in the shin. Sora clapped in applause.

ENCORE! ENCORE! he yelled at the top of his lungs, grinning.

What are you doing, freak? Kairi said seriously.

They all laughed for an hour, and Kairi said, That wasn't funny.
