Kurisu woke up the next morning in Riku's bed. She had entirely forgotten how she had gotten there. She scanned the room, surprised at how clean it was. She had always assumed that guys' room were naturally dirty. She scanned the floor but found nothing that would make it look 'unclean', except for the fact that Riku was curled up on the throw rug in the middle of the room with nothing keeping him warm but his clothes. It was still rather early, so she decided not to wake him. Instead, she took a throw blanket and placed it over him. He shifted under the blanket, absorbing the warmth. After that, she slipped on her shoes and left. She had wandered the beach, watching the incoming waves.
After wandering for about an hour, she sat there at in the middle of the beach, watching the sun slowly rise. She always loved watching the sun rise; it gave her such a warm feeling.
Then, almost out of nowhere, she was tackled from behind. She was surprised to feel herself face down in the sand. She turned to knock over the boy who had attacked her and examined him. He had spiky brown hair, which was now covered in sand, and sapphire blue eyes which many girls seemed to be entranced in, but not her. She recognized him as another good friend. "Sora-kun!" she yelled, tickling him. "How dare you attack me from behind?"
Sora laughed hysterically, pleading for her to stop the tickling. After she decided that that was enough torture, she sat back.
"Sorry, Kurisu-rin" he laughed, "I couldn't resist. Besides, I am your favorite hero."
"You wish." She jeered.
Sora gave his famous puppy dog pout, making himself seem sad. "Aw, you made me feel sad."
"Come on, Sora-kun," she petted him on the head, "You know I was just joking."
After talking, they decided that they were going to race. Sora was determined to beat Kurisu, since he could never beat her before. Just as they were about to start, a familiar voice could be heard, "Wanna make this a threesome?"
They turned to see who it was and weren't very surprised. "Riku!" they both yelled in unison. Riku always knew when there was a race, and never missed any of them. He was the current reigning champion and planned to keep it that way. They had agreed to race, all three of them. Kurisu then counted down, "Ready, Set, Go!" And with that, they were off.
