--Meanwhile, at the Smoothie Bar...
Sora: (crying) She's a slut! A total slut ya know. I mean how many girls do you know that sleep with Ech-ech-echidnas! Huh?! I didn't (hiccup) think so!
Smoothie Tender: Sir. I think you've had one too many...
Sora: I'll tell you when I've had enough! Gimmie a strawberry banana one...on the rocks!
Smoothie Tender: There's a strawberry banana smoothie right in front of you sir. You never finished it.
Sora: I'll tell you when I finished it! (takes a huge drink) I'm d...BRAIN FREEZE!
Customer #1: Are you okay?
Sora: (crying) What am I doing? I'm sitting here complaining about Kairi and her new boyfriend when I've got the best thing in the world right under my nose....a strawberry banana smoothie. (takes a drink) For some reason, I feel like I'm forgetting about something. Where am I?
--Riku runs up to the bar.
Riku: Sora? Are you okay? You don't look too good.
Sora: Hey, I know you! Does anyone else notice that his hair is silver?! That is sooo awesome!!! I bet you dye it! Lemme see. (reaches towards Riku and falls off stool)
Riku: (picks up Sora) Come on. Let's go.
--Riku takes Sora to the restroom to wake him up with some cold water.
Riku: (splashing cold water in Sora's face) Are you okay?
Sora: Yeah, now I am. Thanks.
Riku: Sorry I stormed off. Did you drown your sorrows in smoothie because of me?
Sora: Well...no.
Riku: (pause) Oh. Well, why?
Sora: Just like you predicted, Kairi appeared when I least expected it.
Riku: (pause, gulp) Oh.
Sora: With her new boyfriend, Knuckles.
Riku: Oh.
Sora: She said she was completely over me. And that I was jealous. And he called me Tinker Bell. And he's an 'animal'...
Riku: That's enough.
Sora: She said I wasn't over her and that I was jealous.
Riku: You already said that.
Sora: Oh, did I? (sniffs) She's over me already! They made out in front of me. Right in front of me. And worst of all, I think that slut my have, well, you know.
Riku: Slept with him?
Sora: Yeah. WHORE!!! (cries) She doesn't even care about me anymore!
Riku: I do.
Sora: I know, but this is different.
Riku: That slut has moved on. And so should you.
Sora: I have. I'm with you.
Riku: No. You haven't. You're still hooked on her. Maybe your love for me was just your mind trying to separate yourself from Kairi. To "get over her."
Sora: What? No.
Riku: Maybe. This wasn't meant to be. Maybe you aren't ready to be with someone else because you really still want to be with Kairi. (a single tear falls down his face) Never mind me. I'll go now. Go get her, Sora.
Sora: No! Riku. No. It's not like that. I really do love you! I do. It's just that, well, Kairi seems so different, so much better without me. She got over me so quickly. I sat there and broke her heart and now she's back better than ever. It's like she's better off not having me. And maybe I am a little jealous, but whatever feelings I have towards her, are now only as a friend. There is someone else that I care about much more. And his name is Riku.
Riku: Do you mean that?
Sora: (embraces Riku's hand) Of course I do. I...
Riku: (interrupting him with a passionate kiss) You love me. Good. (pause) And I love you as well. (pulls him close and they both begin to kiss)
