* SCENE X *

______________________________________

--Once they reach the island, they notice it in shambles. Houses are torn apart and children sit in the sand crying.

Paper Boy: EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! MASSIVE HURRICANE DESTROYS DESTINY ISLAND! MANY LEFT DEAD AND INJURED. HURRICANE CONAN TAKES 49 LIVES. READ OBITUARIES FOR DETAILS!

Riku: Here's a hundred yen. Gimmie a paper! (shuffles through paper to the obituaries) Oh, God! Sora, I don't know what to say.

Sora: Riku, what's wrong? Is there something you're not telling me?

Riku: I don't know how to tell you this, but your parents...are dead.

Sora: What? Let me see! (grabs paper) Oh, my God! They are dead! My mom, and my dad! Nooooooooooooooo! My sister! Huh? My sister? I had a sister? NOOOOOO!!!!!

Riku: No, you tard! That's just some girl with the same last name.

Sora: Oh, no! Riku! Did you see this?

Riku: What?

Sora: Your parents. They are both dead!

Riku: Oh, yeah, I skimmed over that section. I kinda forgot about them. Oh, well. You win some you lose some.

Sora: Don't you care! They were your parents!

Riku: Parents-shmerants! I told you before; I'm evil! Oh, yeah, one more thing.

Sora: What now?

Riku: On the front page it says that all your property was destroyed.

Sora: What? My home?

Riku: Yeah. You can stay with me at my tricked out pad. PS2, XBOX, Dreamcast, and that crappy Game Cube, I've got it all.

Sora: Okay, but do you have a shower and a clean change of clothes?

Riku: Of course.

Sora: Well, let's get cleaned up and go to the Olive Garden. I promised you dinner, remember?

Riku: Of course.

Sora: Tomorrow we can go shopping so I'll have my own clothes.

Riku: Of course. And we can sell all my parents' clothes for extra money.

--They walk to Riku's house and notice that something's missing.

Riku: My room's gone! At least all the video games are in the "party room."

Sora: Well, let's go in.

--They enter Riku's tricked out pad. Sora walks to the bathroom and immediately takes a shower. Riku, not knowing where Sora went, goes upstairs and cleans up his parents' room. He gets out a fresh pair of pants and underwear.

Riku: Sora? Sora, where are you? Oh, well.

--Riku walks downstairs to the bathroom to take a shower and.....

Riku: Oh, Jesus Christ! Why didn't you tell me you were in here!

Sora: Oh, God! I'm sorry! I'm getting out and getting dressed right now! Sorry! Sorry!

--Riku turns and runs out of the room. Sora quickly gets dries off and calls for Riku.

Sora: Riku, I need a change of cloths.

--Riku tosses some cloths into the bathroom. Sora changes and leaves the bathroom. Riku takes his shower then puts on his fresh undies and pants. He exits the bathroom.

Sora: (Putting on shoes) Um, I just want to say sorry Riku and...

Riku: Don't worry about it. It's just a simple mistake. I am a mature young man. I even dabble in art. It's completely in the past.

Sora: Really?

Riku: Really, really.

Sora: Thanks.

--Riku looks through a wardrobe and pulls out a red shirt and some socks. Sora, finally relieved of his embarrassment, looks over at Riku. He notices that he has no shirt and looks away. The embarrassment returns. However, the feelings he wasn't sure about for Riku were beginning to surface. Riku buttons his red shirt and puts on his socks. He grabs some black boots and combs his hair. For a finishing touch, he pulls on a long black coat.

Riku: Are you ready, Sora?

Sora: Um, just a sec. (staring at the very sexy looking Riku) Okay. Let's go.

Riku: So where are you taking me?

Sora: To the Olive Garden.

Riku: Oh, yeah.
