--They walked a few blocks to the Olive Garden. When they get there, they sit at a booth near the back.
Riku: Thanks, for dinner.
Sora: No problem, I owed you one.
Riku: Actually, I owe you. You saved be from Kingdom Hearts, helped me walk when I couldn't...
Sora: But you gave me somewhere to stay. Plus I did kinda kick you.
Riku: Don't remind me.
Waitress: So, boys, what will you be having?
Riku: I'll have the Seafood Alfredo and a GUN TO KILL YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS F***IN' RESTAURANT! Ha, ha, ha. No, I'm just kidding. I'll the Seafood Alfredo and a Dr. Pepper®.
Waitress: Oh, okay.....and what will you be having sir?
Sora: I'll just have the Chicken Parmisana and a Lemonade.
Waitress: I'll be back with your orders shortly. (leaves)
Sora: What the hell was that? Riku, are you okay?
Riku: Of course, I'm fine. Just letting off some old steam. I'm okay. Well, anyway, sorry about the fight back there with the jerky.
Sora: It's all in the past. This is nice; dinner with a...friend.
Riku: Why the long pause?
Sora: I don't know.
Riku: So...what do you want to talk about? We've got a good 20 minutes before our dinner comes.
Sora: Yeah, well...um.....so what are we gonna do after dinner?
Riku: Huh? Um, well, we can play PS2 and watch some movies. I got some new DVD's. We can watch something like...like The Matrix.
Sora: Let me guess, cuz' you're an idiot and you're my boyfriend?
Riku: You like that song too? Cool. I didn't think you'd get the joke.
Sora: (thinks: "If only it were true, Riku. If only you were my...")
Riku: Hello? Destiny Island to Sora?
Sora: Huh? Sorry. My mind drifted. Um, PS2 and the Matrix; sounds fun.
--As they sit there, the awkward pauses go on. The waitress returns with their dishes.
Waitress: Here you go, and here you go. I hope you enjoy.
Sora: Thank you.
Riku: Domo.
--They eat quickly and both put their leftovers in "doggy bags". Sora pays, they leave, and start to walk home.
Riku: Domo arigato, Sora.
Sora: You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it. It makes me happy.
Riku: Huh? What makes you happy?
Sora: To see y...other people happy.
Riku: I really think there's something you're not telling me Sora. You seem like you're covering up your original thoughts with other words. Does this have anything to do with what happened the other day? Do you think that I'm going to judge you, or something? I'm your friend Sora. Tell me, what are you hiding?
Sora: (sarcastically) You see right through me Riku. I'm fine. Don't worry. So what game are we gonna play first?
Riku: Um, how about The Sims?
Sora: Sure.
--Once they get home, they go to the "party room" and start to play the Sims on PS2.
