Author's notes: The only reason I put Riku and Selphie together is so Riku will understand that's Selphie's the slut not Skye. This is the chapter when Riku and the slut break up. There's a little fist fighting in this chapter between Selphie and Skye. The other reason why was because I wanted to torture and leave you readers at a cliffy.

"I thought it would take longer for you to notice that I was here." Skye hissed. 'What's Skye doing here? I don't get it. She's not the type who would crash a party.' Riku simply didn't know what was going on. For once in his life, he was clueless. "I know you want Riku back! You slut!" Selphie screamed.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world
Slap!
Skye's right hand slapped Selphie across her face, leaving a huge red mark. "I'm not the slut, Timitt." Selphie punched Skye. "Grr. Why you?" Skye didn't seem to feel that. "How can punch with those weak fists of yours, PrEtTyGirl?"
Riku was shocked. He was going out with the person who broke him and Skye up. "Selphie, is that true?" He asked.
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame Don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled
"No, she's lying, Riku! Don't listen to her!" Selphie screamed.
Skye cracked her knuckles and stood there, waiting. "Leon, what is she doing?" Sora asked. "If I know Skye, she never attacks first. She waits for her opponent to make the first move." Leon replied. All eyes were on Selphie and Skye. Selphie dashed and punched. Skye dodged and did a 360-degree spin, knocking the slut of her feet.
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
"Had enough yet, Selph?" Skye asked. Selphie stood up, "Not a chance." Riku was gonna stop the fight, but Sora and Tidus held him back. "Let go of me!" He yelled. "Sorry, 'Ku. We can't. Not until the girls are finished." Sora said. "Yeah, you have to stay put and watch." Tidus added.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
"Skye's not bad at all." Yuffie said in awe. Selphie kept punched and Skye kept blocking with one arm. Then, Selphie did a spinny kick and Skye did a couple of backflips to dodge. Once again, Selphie dashed to punch Riku's ex. Skye moved her right leg back a little, so her body did the same and Selphie's fist missed by a centimeter. "You're not even trying to hit me." Skye stated the obvious.
Without the mask where will you hide
Can't find yourself lost in your lies
I know the truth now
I know who are
And I don't love you anymore
"She's so... fast." Selphie panted. "Out of breath, Timitt?" Skye asked. Instead of replying, Selphie punched her with some of the strength she had left. Skye stopped it with one hand. "You can't beat me up. Not with fists like those." She grabbed her wrist. Selphie took that moment to kick her. Skye noticed before Selphie's leg was halfway to her face and flipped backward again.
Unlike Leon's niece, Selphie was so out-of-breath. "Why'd you have to be from Balamb Island?"
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
"Why'd you have to be so jealous, Timitt? That's what everyone here doesn't understand." Skye said, brushing herself off. "Shut up!" Selphie hissed. "Admit it, Selph. You were the one behind Seifer's attack two months ago and you were the one behind the break up." Kairi said impatiently. "Heh. PrEtTyGiRl. That name gave a clue to person's identity. The only person who cares about their looks and talks to Riku about them is you, Selphie." Leon said coldly.
"And we have all the proof we need anyway." Tidus said, holding up the photocopied papers. They had it all figured out. Selphie took several steps and looked shocked. "'Lil Miss I'm-Jealous has finally been caught." Seifer walked out of the shadows, covering the scar he got from Skye.
"I told you, Selphie. Your jealousy would lead you down the wrong path." Mrs. Timitt snapped. "Shut up!!" Selphie screamed, "Argh! Fine, I admit it! I am the person who did all that!" Riku looked at Selphie, "Why did do all that?"
"Because I wanted you to notice me!" She screamed. "Well, you chose a bad way to do it." Sora muttered.
Leon gave her a death glare; "You should have kept Skye and Riku together. You're not Riku's type. Apparently, Skye is." Skye turned around and walked away.
A week later...
Riku was having his seventeenth birthday party. Everyone on the island was there except Leon, Sora, Kairi, Yuffie and Skye. "Where could they be?" Yuna asked. She's wearing her gunner outfit. Tidus shrugged. "Dunno. The last time I saw them they were at Skye's a few days ago." He's wearing black shorts and white shirt.
"Why would they be there? They said they'd come. I remember that." Rikku said. She's wearing her thief outfit. "I hope they have a good excuse. Skye and Riku have to get back to together. They love each other. I can tell." Yuna muttered. "Sorry, we're all late!" Yuffie screamed.
"What's the excuse today?" Wakka asked. Sora sweatdropped. "We have a surprise for Riku and Skye's part of it." Yuffie shoved Skye forward. She was wearing a blue skirt and white tank top. (A/N: All the Final Fantasy characters are wearing their regular outfits.)
"Hope Leon's almost done setting up Sora's drums." Kairi said in a worried tone. "What drums?" Tidus asked. "Just wait." Sora smirked. "Hey! Come on! It's ready." Leon said.
The five of them headed to the plot of land facing everyone else. "Okay. We've got a treat for everyone. These kids are gonna perform a little something for all of you. And it's dedicated to my brother, Riku." Kadaj gave the microphone to Skye and whispered to her, "You were the only girl that's ever made my little brother happy. Do it again." She nodded, "Don't worry, Kadaj. I will." Kadaj disappeared into the crowd and everyone fell silent. Leon started playing along with Sora's drums following. Skye was the main vocal. Yuffie and Kairi were the back up singers.
You're the kind of friend
Who always bends when I'm broken,
Like remember when...
You took my heart and put it back together again.
I've been wasting time with clueless guys but now it's over.
Let me tell you why...I'm through...I've got someone new who's just like you!
Everyone was surprised at their performance. Yuna's jaw dropped, "I never knew she could sing that good." 'Oh my Gawd! They're really good.' Rikku started dancing along with the music. She was one of the first to. 'So, that's what they've been doing the past week, practicing.' Tidus smirked.
You're it, You're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
But you're it...You're the Ultimate you.
Leon knew his niece poured her heart out through the song. 'I hope Riku understands that the song's her message.' 'It's working. I think Riku understands it.' Yuffie and the two other girls continued singing. Riku smiled and muttered something.
You're the kind of guy who's hand's in mine..
Sends shivers, up and down my spine.
You took my heart and put it back together again.
I want to do to you, what you do to me
You're the kind of guy that blows my mind...
But now it's my turn, You've been right in front of me.
Everything I need, why didn't I see?
Soon, everyone started dancing to the song. Yuffie and Kairi let Skye sing most of the song except the chorus in which they had to sing together. "I really like this song now." Ellone said to her father.
You're it, You're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
But you're it...You're the Ultimate you.
A few seconds after they sung the chorus again, Leon saw his cue from Skye and did a solo-guitar. Everyone stopped and stared at him. "Leon can do that? How come he never told us?" Tidus complained. "Whoa! Score one to Leon. Zip for Tidus. That's the cool scores." Selphie said. "Hey! What are ya doing here?" Wakka asked her.
She shrugged. "I came to apologize to Riku and Skye. So, here I am. Wow, Skye does sing good."
You're it, You're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
You're it, You're the Ultimate,
It's automatic I'm sure of it.
No lie, So don't even try
To tell me that you're not the guy.
Cuz I've been waiting all my life for someone just like you,
But you're it...You're the Ultimate you.
Yuna gasped. She knew what Skye was saying through the song and looked at Riku. Skye's eyes never left him. 'Yes! Thank Yevon! She loves him!' Tidus looked at Yuna and grinned, "You figured it out, right?" She nodded, "Of course. But, does Riku feel the same way?" "Ya, I guess so. But, he's the type to hide it inside of him." Wakka replied.
You're it...you're the Ultimate YOU!
As the song ended, the crowd burst into applause. Kairi turned and looked at Sora, who looked like he was near-death, "Sora, you didn't get that tired when we rehearsed it last night." Sora groaned, "Hungry. Need food." Skye shook her head, "Well, it would be worse if you were the one singing."
Sora let out another low groan. This time, Leon glared at him, "Idiot, get up. If you wanna eat, get up." Sora got up and ran. Yuffie giggled, "At least, it worked." Quietly, Skye slipped away from the group to the Racecourse. It had an old wooden bridge that breaks easily and a wooden tower. The rest was palm trees and a beach.
"It looked like the message didn't go through to him." She said to herself and sighed. She heard a loud footstep and turned around quickly. "Relax, Skye. It's only me." Front of her was Riku. "Hi Riku. What's up?" She asked. Skye didn't look at him but she felt his eyes on her. "I..." But, Riku was interrupted by Selphie. "There you two are. I've been looking all over of you."
"What are you doing here anyway?" Skye asked, lifting her head to look at her. "Look, I wanted to apologize because of what I did." Selphie said in an innocent voice. Riku and Skye looked at each other, "Apology accepted." Selphie jumped and said, "Well, okay. See ya!" Then, she ran off. Riku and Skye sweatdropped. "That was a quick change of personality." Skye said.
Riku nodded and turned to her again. "I understood the song. Did you really mean it?" She smiled, "Of course, I did." Riku wrapped his arms around Skye, "But why me?" She giggled, "As I said before, you're the ultimate, Riku. If you want me to prove it..." Before she could finish that, Riku kissed her. That one had more passion than the others they shared did. Skye wasn't surprised that she was kissing him back. She loved him for crying outloud.
Finally for what seemed like forever, they broke the kiss. "Skye?" Riku whispered. "Yeah, is there something you want to tell me?" She asked. "I love you too." Riku whispered in her ear.
"Whoo-hoo! The couple's back together!" Sora yelled. Kairi hit him on the head, "You blew our cover!" Those two jumped down from the palm trees with grins on their faces. "Come on! I bet you're hungry!" Sora ran ahead. "We'll race you." Kairi said. "Okay. Ready! Set! Go!"
Riku and Sora ran off. Both were tied. Skye came second and Kairi was last.
