Disclaimer: humming ... ... ... Oh! Hi!!! I wasn't expecting you so soon. Okay, fine, here we go. I own the characters with names that are not Sora, Riku, and Kairi, also known as Sam, Randy, and Kari. Thanks for the reviews! Keep 'em commin'! Okay, I know there have been a lot of weird things going on as far as typos are concerned, but no more. I'm still trying to figure out this site, so I'll try to get this done better. Little reminder. If you ever see in this story, it means the end of a person talking, and different one takes over. Friendly reminder! This chapter is a little boring too, yet it's important, so don't skip it. Also, if you have nothing better to do, and are a fan of FFX, FFVII, and FFX-2 as well as many other games of the sort, check out my other story: Close Encounters of the FFX Kind! It's funny... I think. Anyway, talking to long now. Back to story. I hope this chapter is a little more exiting than the last one! But, I'm not making any promises.

Thomas here! Still. After we spent way to much money on clothes we headed for home. I think it was about...5:00 or so. We still had time to watch our movies. As a matter of fact we were on the credits of the second one when Rose walked in the door. "Hi guys! I'm home!" She looked tired. Her hair was all messed up, and her make-up was coming off, but, I've seen her worse. It was 8:00 right on the nose.

"Good timing." I said.

"Thanks!" she said. "So, how did it go?"

"Not bad, got the clothes, rented movies. Nothing to interesting happened." I was trying to decide weather to tell her Riku met Burns or not. "And we saw a couple kids from your class!"

"Oh really? Who?"

"Nobody, really, just Burns, Megan, and John."

"Wait a minute... you saw Burns? As in Mike Burns? As in my classmate, Mike Burns? As in the holder of the look of death for many a new kid, my classmate, Mike Burns?

"Well..."

"THOMAS!!!"

"I didn't mean to, he kind of trapped me. He only met Riku, anyway. It's not a total tragedy, is it?"

"Thomas, remember what I said? One bad experience could brand them for life! We could totally mess up the game! These guys can NOT leave the house for a while."

"Fine!"

"Fine!" she yelled back

I couldn't believe it! Riku had met Burns! Burns is a very influential person! He's dark, evil, and... okay, truthfully, kinda cute, but not really. Not if you have known him for as long as I have. Since, I have only gone to this school for two years I have known him for two years. Two years can kill a lot in a person's perspective of life. Anyway, now that Riku has met Burns, it is pretty likely that he will want to learn more. And Burns wanting to learn anything is really, REALLY bad.

It was already pretty late, 8:00 to be exact. Only two hours until we had to go to bed. We turned of the DVD player, from the movies Thomas, Sora, Riku, and Kairi were watching, and turned it back to normal TV. Dad was working late that night, so according to my mom is was find-your-own-dang-supper night. We just put a pizza in the oven. We watched a bunch of shows, I don't even remember what they were anymore. Then, 9:30, on the nose my mother comes up the stairs.

"Bed."

That was enough for us. It had been a long and tiring day, and we were all ready. Sora, Riku, and Kairi all went into my room, and Thomas and I started to brush our teeth. I could tell he felt bad. I had yelled at him pretty bad.

When we were done I told him, "Thomas, I'm really sorry. It wasn't your fault, I'm sure you did everything you could to keep Burns from meeting any of them. So, I'm sorry I yelled at you like that.

"Hey, no big, okay?

"Good? All forgiven?"

"Sure. All forgiven."

Then mom popped her head in the door. "Hey, kids. Do you want to go school shopping tomorrow? I know that school is gonna start in three days for you guys, so I figure we better do that before I have to go back for a teacher workday. You're friends can come too, if they want."

"Sounds good to me!" said Thomas.

"Okay, I have nothing better to do," I said.

"Good, okay kids, good-night."

"Night!" we yelled after her.

"Night," we said to each other in unison. I grabbed my cat, walking down the hall, put on my pajamas, and went into my room.

"Good night, guys."

"Good night!" they replied.

Then Sora asked, "Hey, Rose, can we talk again tonight?"

"Sure! Go right a head." They started into conversation, once again. Then it hit me... 'School shopping... tomorrow. That means... oh, no! Burns!' Then, I was out.
