Author's rant: I admit I suck at both battle scenes and dance scenes. I've been listening to Avril Lavinge's I'm with you and Clay Aiken's I will carry you. Let me tell you. They are good songs though most people say they're sucky. Okay, enough of that. On with the fic. The title for this chapter sucks too
.
Chapter 4: The Grand party

"Kari! Come on!" Kevin and Darien were eager to get that over with. "Selene, get her." Darien ordered. Selene rolled her eyes and sighed. She walked to the bathroom and dragged Kari out of there. "What are you so ashamed about, Kari?" She asked. "You look fine, okay. Now, let's ditch this party before they notice." Kevin whispered to his friends.

"No one's leaving this party before planned." Riku and Skye had caught their daughter and her friends. They all flinched. "Um... we don't want to be here." Kari whined. Riku rolled his eyes. "Kevin, Darien. You two are so blind." Skye crossed her arms. "Kari and Selene are blind too."

"Blind to what?" The four teens asked. Skye and Riku pointed at something behind them. They turned and saw a group of teens. Kevin and Darien were almost about drool at the sight of hot chicks, as they would say. Kari and Selene walked toward the guys and started flirting. Their two other friends were to the girls and flirted with them too.

Riku and Skye saw that Kairi, Sora, Yuna, Tidus, Leon and Yuffie were on the dance floor. "I hope you would want to dance, Skye." Riku chuckled. Skye sighed. "Alright, seeing that I can never say no to you."

They got on the dance floor and started waltzing like their friends. Kairi giggled. "I know you two can do better than that." Sora taunted. "Here they go again." Yuna sighed. Tidus, Yuffie and Leon shook their heads. "Please refrain from making them get embarrassed." Skye said, still waltzing with Riku.

"It's either we torture them or we get out of here." Riku said.

"We can all stop dancing now. My heels are killing me now." Kairi, Skye, Yuna and Yuffie said at the same time. Riku, Tidus, Sora and Leon sweatdropped. "Those four think alike, don't they?" Leon asked. Tidus nodded. "Hey! Where's Kari and her friends?" Yuna asked. "Flirting. What else do you think she's doing?"


"Kari!" Selene seemed to be looking at one certain guy. "What, Selene?" Kari hissed. "Um... just look!" Selene pointed at the same guy she was staring at. Kari turned and saw him. He was spiky blonde and resembled Cloud Strife, but appeared to be his son. "That's my brother, Matt. By the way, I'm Rena Strife." A girl walked toward them with Kevin and Darien following her.

Rena was wearing a blue spaghetti strap dress. She had emerald green eyes and short blonde hair. "I'm Kari and that's Selene." Kari introduced, "And you know Kevin and Darien already."

Rena giggled. "I can introduce you to Matt if you want."

Selene, Darien and Kevin shoved Kari forward. "Go." "Why me?" Kari complained. "Because you have a better chance." Selene mouthed. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you two talking in a special code now?" Kevin asked. "Come on!" Rena grabbed Kari's wrist and dragged her over to her brother. "Hey bro."

Matt glared at his sister. "What now, Rena?" 'Cute. But, he kinda scares me.' Kari thought. "I want to introduce you to Kari." Rena shoved Kari toward her brother. "... Hi Matt." She said nervously. "Hey Kari." Matt said coldly, he hardly knew her.

"I'll leave you two alone for now." Rena sped off. "Rena,. What is my sister up to now?" Matt groaned. Kari shrugged. "Dunno. She's probably trying to help you." Matt turned to look at Kari. "Help me to do what?" Kari shook her head. "Never mind." 'Should I flirt a little with him or go?' She asked herself. "Do you want to dance?" Matt asked her. "Sure." Kari nodded.

Those two started waltzing. (I've told you before. I suck at those scenes. Use your imagination or think about that scene when Squall was dancing with Rinoa. Imagine them dancing like that.) Neither Matt nor Kari stepped on each other's foot. "You're really good at this, Matt." Kari commented. "Thanks, you are too, Kari." Matt replied.

Somewhere else on the dance floor...

"Those two look good together, don't they?" Selene asked, dancing with Kevin. Rena nodded.

"I wonder what they're talking about." Darien said, trying not to make a fool of himself while waltzing with Rena. "Is it me or is this getting boring?"

"I wish they put on better music." Selene said in a bored tone. Rena, Kevin and Darien agreed."Where's Kari?" Skye walked toward them with a worried look on her face."Over there, dancing," Kevin jerked his thumb behind them at the dance floor, "And this is Rena. The guy Kari's dancing with is her brother." Skye smiled and walked away.

"Looks like they're at the flirting stage already." Selene smirked and crossed her arms. She was right. They were flirting. "I'd thought it would take longer for them to reach that stage." Darien muttered."She's good at it then." Rena smiled. "Hey! I've got an idea!" Selene exclaimed. The other three huddled up to listen to her.

A few minutes later...

"Great idea!" Rena whispered excitedly. "But, is it gonna work?" Darien asked.That got them thinking hard.

"It did work for Kari's parents. If they're meant to be, it'll work." Kevin stated."Let's give the plan a try. Where should all of us meet on the islands?" Selene asked."The beach." Rena said. After that, she started giggling so hard.


If you read the prequel to this, you'll know what those four are up to.
