DISCLAIMER: NO I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS—STOP REMINDING ME!

A/N: BLAH BLAH..my internet has been like—NOT WORKING and weirding me out cause I hope I wasn't the one that broke it—LOL. maybe I'll just blame someone else..but whatever, SHH.

Riku got out of his car and glanced up at the house, it looked the same as the last time he'd seen it. Riku swallowed some excess spit in his mouth and took the first step up the path, What am I doing here? He thought taking the second step nearer to the house. He looked up at one of the windows and saw the one person he had wanted to see. She walked by the window, not noticing him cause she was on the phone, just the sight of her made him feel better. A small smile crept on his face now, Riku shook his head and proceeded to walk back to his car, then turned around again towards the house, then stopped again and walked back to his car—THEN came back again. He stood in front of the door staring at the lit up doorbell.

"Ok..just relax—breathe." Riku shook himself out a little as if it would calm him down and took a deep breath. He reached forward for the doorbell…

"NO. I can't do this—" he pulled his hand back to his side and began stepping off the porch.

"You're such a weirdo." Riku heard and spun around to look at the door. No on was there, the door was still shut.

He heard a girl laughing coming from his left and snapped his head in the direction. He saw Selphie standing behind the open window; she seemed amused.

"How long have you been there?" Riku asked feeling a little embarrassed but did a well job on hiding it.

"Oh not long. I came to close the blinds, but saw you walking around out there. What are you doing?" she crossed her arms across her chest.

"Uh…" Riku tried to find an excuse. Say I'm the paperboy? NO. I don't even have newspapers with me. DILIVERING PIZZA—but I left the pizzas in the car and I'll run back to it, and then just take off! BRILLIANT. No—kinda mean AND stupid. He took too long to come up with the excuse; he stopped when he finally realized she wasn't standing at the window anymore. He let out a sigh; stuffing his hands in his pockets he took a step forward toward his car.

"Where are you going?" Selphie asked, now standing behind him.

"Oh—I thought you left. I was about to—" a gust of cold morning wind blew by and Selphie rubbed her arms, she was getting goosebumps.

She interrupted, "Let's go inside." Riku thought she must have been cold. She was in a pair of Hollister shorts and a loose tank top (her sleeping clothes? Nice.) She took his hand, when she noticed he wasn't following, and led him inside.

Riku looked around, the house inside was a little different—new couches, new drapes, recent family pictures hung up on the walls. Riku breathed in, he loved the smell of Sophie's house. The house was a two story home, the inside walls were different colors in each room, depending on which design they decided to decorate it with.

"Hello Mr. Riku, you're back?"

Riku turned around and was greeted by the maid, Roxanne. "Oh—hey Roxie. Uh—I'm just stopping by to say 'hi' to Selph."

"Oh—you know," she leaned in a little bit to whisper in his ear, "She and her boyfriend, Joel, broke up last month."

"Oh? Over what?"

Roxanne glanced upstairs and then answered, "No reason—Selphie claims to have just 'gotten tired of him'. But—if you're gonna make a move I say you do it now." She winked and then left the room.

Riku smiled a bit then saw Selphie reappear at the top of the staircase; "You wanna just come up here?" she called down to Riku.

He shrugged, "Why not." He sauntered up the stairs at a slow pace trying to act 'cool' and not too excited or nervous, though he really was.

Reaching the top Selphie greeted him with a small smile, "So, tell me why you're here again." She turned and began walking to her room. She had changed into another outfit, this time a pair of jeans and a (SHOCKER) yellow HCO tee. Riku examined her, she had blonde hair now about an inch or two past her shoulders and bangs; she no longer flipped her hair out in the USUAL unusual way. (A/N: I think that made sense. Lol) She wore make up now, eye liner/mascara and mixtures of green eye shadow that REALLY brought out her eyes. OK..i'm gone fore months and I come back to find Selphie's become SUPER HOTT? YESS. I feel bad for Joel, though she did break up with me too—whatever. She wasn't as hott as now—

"Riku?" Selphie cocked up an eyebrow and placing her hands on her hips she shifted her weight onto her left foot.

"Huh?" Riku blinked a few times.

"Quit staring." She laughed and continued applying on her 'war paint' (A/N: it's make up. Lol—that's what my dad calls it).

Riku laughed feeling kind of dumb and at down on her made bed. She changed the sheets, they used to be yellow but now hot pink. The room changed, her walls were no longer orange but a light green; there were drapes over her windows now that were a lighter shade of green; and she had new pictures around the room. One picture caught his eye, it had Joel in it. He was in his football jersey and all suited up; he was holding his helmet in his right hand and the other arm around Selphie's waist. She was in her cheerleading uniform and holding both pom poms. Cheer leader and Football player. Typical. But they broke up—why would she keep it? Riku walked around the room and looked at the pictures, trying not to have his gaze fall back on Selphie.

There were so many pictures; she must enjoy coming back and looking at all these memories. There were pictures of almost everything, Home coming game, cheer leading camp, pictures taken at school for no reason, out at clubs (fake ID's involved), Easter, birthday parties, house parties (Selphie was chugging down a bottle of 'ALCOHOL' along with all the other girls), and so on. Riku jumped when Selphie turned on the stereo, her CD was playing "Mr. Brightside" (the killers).

Riku turned around and saw Selphie opening the window shades. She turned and saw Riku watching her, "Heh..it was kinda quiet in here, if you don't like them I have other CD's."

Riku shrugged, "Nah..it's ok."

Selphie smiled and walked over to him, "Soo, you going to tell me now or what?"

"Tell you what?"

Selphie rolled her eyes, "Why you're here, nerd."

"OH. Yeah—have you talked to Sora since…um. I left?"

She gave him a weird look and then answered, "No I haven't. I don't see him around that much anymore."

"ok.." he at the ground, "I'm just coming by to see how you're doing and all."

"Uh huh…or is it cause you heard about me and Joel breaking up?" Riku looked up at her shocked and she laughed, "I'm joking." She walked over and sat down on her bed, "So where'd you go? I haven't seen you at school for like—I don't know, a few months now."

"You really want to know?" He sat down in the chair at her desk.

"Uh..yeah—I wouldn't be ASKING you if I didn't."

"…Rehab."

Selphie blinked a couple of times, "I'm sorry, what?"

Riku chuckled; it wasn't funny, "REEE-HAAB." He said it slower.

"I'm not DUMB Riku, I just wanted to be sure I heard it correctly." She tossed a pillow at him.

Riku laughed dodging it swiftly, "I know, I know. I'm just kidding."

"So—what were you in there for?"

Riku cleared his throat, "Uh.." he took in a breath and exhaled, "Your gonna laugh."

She laughed, "DUH. Just tell me."

"For drugs." She laughed. "SEE. I TOLD YOU."

"I didn't say I wouldn't!" She kept laughing, "GOSH, idiot. What were you doing drugs for anyway?"

Riku remembered, "…uh." He lied, "I don't remember."

"See. Drugs kill brain cells." She giggled. Riku chucked the pillow at her nearly knocking her off the bed. "HEEEY!" she screamed and began throwing all the pillows on her bed at him. Four our of six pillows hit him, some were even thrown back.

They stopped out of breath from all the running around and laughing. Riku dropped himself onto the floor and Selphie did the same. The two looked at each other and began laughing again. The stereo was still playing, now "Replaceable". PERFECT…stupid song decides to play NOW? Riku shifted,

"So you want to tell me why you and J—" Riku started.

Selphie sat looking down at the ground, she cut him off, "Uh. Just know he was a big jerk who's ego was like a BILLION times bigger than his brain, and I think I'm starting to kinda want—someone else." Her face still was downcast but her eyes traveled from the floor up to meet Riku's. He got it. He smiled and crawled forward towards her. Two inches away from her face…an inch away..their eyes closed…and—the phone rang. Riku let out a loud sigh and drooped his head down.

"I don't have to answer it—"

He lifted a hand "No. Go ahead." He sat up and started at the wall across the room. Maybe that was a good thing..why was I going to kiss her anyway? She left me—for Joel. For all I know, she could have already been dating him BEFORE she broke up with me.

Selphie got to her feet and watched him as she picked up her phone, "Hello?"

"Ey selph, wanna hang out later?"

"Joel?"

Riku looked up at her.

"YEAH. Who else?"

"I thought we talked about this—"

"I know, but I'm not going to give up. There's gotta be SOME WAY I can change your mind."

"Look—I'm busy right now, I can't."

"Busy doing what?"

"THINGS OK."

"Selph—C'MON. Just—" he sighed, "I need a better reason than THAT."

"Better reason than WHAT?"

"A better reason as to WHY you broke up with me."

"DO I REALLY NEED ONE?"

"YEAH SELPH—I've gotta know."

She rolled her eyes; Riku still watched her, "Whatever. I'll talk to you later Joel—"

"No Babe, NOW."

"Don't call me that!"

"What?"

"ARGH, THAT. Gosh—BYE Joel." She hung up.

Riku, still on the floor, looked away from her then said, "Should I go?"

Selphie forgot he was still there, "No." she set the phone on the end table, "Um..if you have to sure. I mean, whatever." She ran a hand through her golden hair.

"Heh..i don't have anywhere important to go—"

"Then you wanna stay?"

Riku looked up at her, "…You want me to?"

Selphie smiled mischievously and began walking slowly backwards, which confused Riku, until she reached the door and still walking backwards pushed against it 'til it was closed. Riku grinned understanding what she meant and chuckled slightly as he got up. It's like I'm pretending that never happened..maybe that's what I'm already doing—on purpose. He walked casually over to where she was and placed his hands on her hips.

Roxanne walked up the stairs and looked down both hallways, she walked over to Selphie's bedroom door and before placing a hand on the door knob there was a thud against the door.

"Selphie? Are you ok in there?" She asked knocking on the door.

"YES. YEAH! I'm fine Roxie!" she heard Selphie call back a little drowned out by the loud music in the background.

"Are you sure?" She tried the doorknob; it was locked. Roxanne raised an eyebrow but decided to just leave—her shift was near over anyway. She went back downstairs and continued cleaning the second living room.

A/N: YES, I've run out of ideas and decided to write a little more about Riku, too. Probably some more on Yuffie and Tommy, eh? Hah ha. Oh yeah—I keep reading these summaries, and I am VERY SLOW, so someone fill me in on what OC and OOC means. Lol—and perhaps I should add in a few more characters, WHO'S NAMINE? Lol—HENCE THE NAME RETARDcupcake.

You guys that reviewed. THANKS! Did I mention I HEART YOU ALL? Har har.
