I haven't had time to write Reviewer's Corner because I've got chapters to update, and the end of Sora's Goodbye will be written earlier than expected. But I've read your reviews. You guys are so awesome! People loved certain parts of the story and so on. That is awesome. Well, time to get on with the final parts of the story.
Several days later, Riku's date with Oarah came. But he helped Hurky plan out her new house. Her younger brother called and asked if he could live with Hurky, but she told him no.
"There's no way that my brother is going to live here." said Hurky, standing where her future house was going to be. "He got me kicked out of Balamb!"
"But why did you choose across the street from Riku?" asked Sora.
"Because Riku, Kairi, and Ryo live on this street. It's nice to have friends for neighbors." replied Hurky.
"I can't believe that Ryo bought a house here!" said Riku.
"Yeah, so that I can be near my hunny bunny!" said Ryo.
"For the last time, I'm not your hunny bunny!" cried Riku.
"Well, with Hurky and Ryo living around here, the more, the merrier in order to prank Old Man Baker!" said Sora.
"Why do you guys have to pick on that poor old man so much?" asked Ryo. "He's nice! He stopped by my house to give me a fruit basket as a housewarming gift!"
Sora's and Riku's jaws dropped.
"He gave you a fruit basket?" cried Riku.
"Um, yeah, with some really tasty mangoes!" replied Ryo.
"Hey, where's Nobody?" asked Kairi.
"She went back to her home world." replied Sora. "She was getting homesick."
"Without saying goodbye?" asked Ryo.
"I guess." replied Kairi.
Riku sighed. "Oarah called me last night to tell me that her reality show camera crew will be hanging around us the whole date!" he said.
"That sucks!" said Hurky as she drew the blueprints to her house. "At least we don't have to ask you how your date went because we're going to be watching it on TV!"
"But the worst part is, it's going to be live, all over the islands!" whined Riku.
"Ew." said Sora., I Love Lucy style.
"Well, I better go." said Riku. "I have to get ready for the date."
And he walked off.
"I think it was completely ridiculous that Ansem had to steal Riku's car in order for Oarah to get a date." said Kairi. "All the boyfriends she ever had all cheated on her!"
So, Riku got ready for his date, and walked to Oarah's house. He didn't think to get her flowers or anything, so he picked flowers on the way to her house. Most of them had roots and dirt sticking out. Finally, he knocked on Oarah's door and a short girl with severely tanned skin, really, really long blonde hair (it was orginally silver, like Ansem's, opened the door.Ansem wasn't that old, Riku found out later), wearing a short skirt and a goofy looking shirt, and really high heels.
"Hi, Riku." she said in her dull voice.
"Here, I brought you flowers." said Riku as he handed Oarah the flowers.
"Thanks." said Oarah. She just threw them into the living room. "Come on."
Suddenly, her camera crew all followed them.
"Meet my camera crew, Riku." said Oarah. "This is Frank, the boom guy, and Bobby, the camera guy. They're going to be following us around for the date. I've got my own reality show. And, this date is going to be live, all over the island, commercial free!"
Two brown haired guys, both wearing baseball caps, and wearing t-shirts and shorts, one holding a camera, and the other holding a boom attached to the camera,said hi. (If you're wondering what a boom is, it's a long stick with a microphone attached to it, so there's sound. I know, because I was in a video production class!)
"Are we on now?" asked Riku.
"Not yet, kitten." replied Oarah. "My mom's introducing the audiences at home."
Meanwhile, Sora, Kairi, Hurky, Ryo, Donald, and Goofy were sitting at Sora's house, all eating cup ramen noodles, and watching Oarah's reality show.
"My daughter, Oarah, has finally gotten a date with someone since her last boyfriend broke up with her six months ago!" said Mrs. Bon Sorton, in a van loaded with video equipment.
"What are you talking about?" shouted Sora. "It's been a year! I know, because it was the eighth grade!"
"Do you think Riku and Oarah will take off into a relationship?" asked Mrs. Bon Sorton. "Let's find out!"
"...and three, two, one!" said Bobby, the camera guy.
Riku and Oarah reached the theater, and tried to decide what to watch.
"So...what do you want to watch?" asked Riku.
"Darkness!" said Oarah.
"What?" asked Riku.
"I mean, The Superdork Movie." replied Oarah (I actually own Superdork. I did a short movie where I played Superdork. It wasn't very successful among my classmates, though. Only three people watched it during screening.)
So, Riku got two tickets to The Superdork Movie and watched it. But Riku kept hearing Oarah mutter the word, "Darkness." Riku ignored it and they left the theater and went to dinner at an outdoor cafe.
"So, how's your bagel?" asked Riku.
"Delish." replied Oarah as she munched on a bagel.
"So, what was your dad like before, you know?" asked Riku.
"He used to take me to the circus every weekend, tell me stories, family outings, let me dye my hair..." replied Oarah.
"How old was your dad?" asked Riku.
"Thirty nine." replied Oarah.
"Dang, he was young!"said Riku.
"Yeah, he was only twenty five when I was born." said Oarah. Suddenly, she bursted out the word, "DARKNESS! I LOVE DARKNESS!
Oarah began to jump around, saying "DARKNESS, DARKNESS, IT'S THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD, KITTEN!"
Mrs. Bon Sorton showed up. "Uh-oh, she forgot to take her medication this morning!" she cried, watching her daughter bounce around the cafe, scaring away the other customers.
A team showed up with tranquilizers and shot Oarah. Riku slowly backed away, in embarrassment, and went to Sora's house.
He walked in and sighed. "What a waste of time." he said. "She went completely crazy!"
"Eh, it's OK." said Hurky.
"Hey, to lighten things up, let's go to the theme park, with the roller coasters!" said Sora.
"WOO!" said Riku. "LET'S GO!"
So, they all went. Ryo was scared of the roller coasters fora minute, until Riku talked her into going on the highest one.
"I can't believe I'm doing this!" called Ryo as the roller coaster was clinking upwards, hundreds of feet into the sky.
"You're gonna love it, trust me!" said Kairi.
The coaster reached the point where it's about to go downwards, then it went down and everyone started screaming. The coaster went through the loop-de-loops and upside down turns. Finally, the ride was over and Ryo was yelling to go on it again...
Hurky: Well, this is the second to the last chappy. The final chappy will be up in a few days. In the meantime, I'm going on this coaster.
Amusement park guy: Hey, you got in without a ticket!
Hurky: Look, isn't that Ansem?
Guy: Where?
Hurky: Psyche! (running off)
Guy: Hey, come back here!
Hurky: Until then, laters!
