Chapter 17Interesting Goodbyes

Yuffie, Selphie and Kairi forced all of their things into their suitcases. The fateful day had come-the end of their vacation. It had certainly been interesting. But in their own ways, each was glad to be going home. They did miss their parents, although no one would say.

"It's been a great time, though." Selphie said, throwing in another shirt. Kairi sighed as she looked at the wall over her bed.

"Yes. It was good to come here." she agreed.

But the hardest thing was to say goodbye. Goodbye to their new friends. And a few of the guys had to do it alone. They had to say goodbye right.

"Here's my adress." Riku said, handing a slip of paper to Rikku. "So you can write..."

"I won't lose it! I promise. And as soon as I get home, I'll write you a letter."

"But you'll have nothing to write about." he said, laughing a bit.

"You never know. I might." she said slyly. The two began to walk down the shore, cause Riku had to go pack still.

"It was real fun, right?"

"Yeah." The two stopped dead in their tracks. They wanted to say so much, but it was hard to know how. So they just looked at each other until Riku notcied it was getting late.

"I gotta go." he mumbled almost silent. He was just going to walk off when he found him self walking quickly forward, touching his lips to her cheek, and then running. Rikku smiled as she watched him run.

"I knew it." she mumbled. "I like you too, Riku."

They all stood near the parking lot where Selphie's dad would pick the up. Rikku, Rinoa, Lulu, and Aerith waited with them, saying their last goodbyes. Rikku hugged Kairi, Selphie, and Yuffie.

"You guys were great!" she said.

"We'll miss you Rikku." Kairi whispered back.

"Keep in touch." Rinoa said, smiling. Leon smiled back. Yuffie felt a pang of jealously. Lulu just scowled, being her usual, passive self. The van to take them home pulled up, and they began the near impossible task of loading all their lugage into the back. Sora and Kairi were the last ones to get in. They turned back to wave to the girls.

"Bye for now." Sora called.

"Maybe we'll see you come back next year!" Aerith called. The two nodded and got back into the van.

"Touch luck, you guys! The only place left is in the back!" Tidus called, sitting in a seat. Kairi and Sora crawled into the back, where Cloud was already asleep and Riku was listening to his headphones. Kairi sat by the other window and Sora next to her. They started off, going down the road and facing a looong drive home. But most of them passed out in twenty mintues. Sora rubbed his tird eyes and looked next to him. Kairi slept gently on his shoulder. He smiled and setteled to sleep himself.

Don't try to live so wise

Don't cry cause you're so right

Don't dry with fakes and fears

cause you will hate yourself in the end.
