Chapter 2: Long time no see

Five minutes later Riku returned with a short red head, who was skipping up to their table. The red head was wearing a black shirt that said 'Who said I like boys?' and she was wearing black pants with a bright green outline on them. Her pants had on many chains and they jingled to the rhythm of her walking. Her hair was up into a ponytail. The redhead sat next to Sora.

"Hey Shawna," Sora said and gave her a hug, "I'm glad you're back, Riku here has been causing all kinds of trouble." Shawna smiled and giggled.

Riku playfully pushed Sora out of his chair. As the brunet got up his face was beet red and he mumbled, "if only you…."

"Oh Riku, leave him alone. If I know you, and I do, then I know you having been behaving," Shawna looked at Sora, "Who is it this week?... Heather or Mollie? I can never keep up." Sora shrugged his shoulders, "Damn I told you to keep tabs for me!"

They all starting talking about the newest movie in the theater. Shawna complained because it was a definite date movie and she didn't have one. Riku chuckled and replied that it was too bad she was not into men or he'd defiantly bring her to the movies as her date.

Sora laughed and nodded his head in agreement, his face color returning to normal. 'God, why does he have this sudden affect on me? I wish it would just go away, it's making things very uncomfortable.'

"….yeah well, I'm glad to be back from that wicked evil place, they call dad's house," Shawna said looking at her watch, "oh crap! I was supposed to be home an hour ago. Cloud and Leon are going to KILL me." Shawna stood up and hugged Riku for a long time. When she hugged Sora, the redhead whispered in his ear, "you better tell him soon, or things are going to very uncomfortable."

Shawna got up, said her final good-byes and race out of the restaurant.

"No wonder she's on the track team. Leon must be making her run a lot." Riku said sitting back to eat the food that just arrived. 'Sora seems a little... distant. I wonder what's bothering him.'

Sora picked up his food to eat, lost in his thoughts, 'how the hell does she know? Is it obvious or is it a girl thing?' Sora questioned himself until he saw a hand in his face.

"Earth to Sora?" Riku said waving his hand in front of Sora's face, "are you finished analyzing the meaning of life or are you done eating?"

"Both…." Sora grinned, "hey lets go-" Sora's cell phone cut him off.

"Hello? Hey mom. No. Yes. Fine, but only if she gets locked in the cellar…sorry. Yep be there soon." Sora hung up, "sorry Riku forced to baby-sit Adrian, mom's going on another date with Dylan."

"Yeah, I hear you; I too have a date, with Mollie." Sora's face fell at the mention of another date. "Alright let's head out."

The two boys got up and grabbed their skateboards and headed towards their own houses as the sun started to set.

Thanks again you guys. Now you need to push that button and review. Good reviews or bad ones, I'll take them both to help me improve. PLEASE REVIEW!
