The Adventures of Riku and Sora
A Blue Dragon Fic
IV
Tidus ran in a panic screaming blindly down the hallway. So fast, that his necklace flew off.
"NOOO! My lucky jackal's tooth! I can't do a thing without my lucky jackal's tooth!" he ran back and started feeling around for it, but felt a head of hair, instead.
"AHH! The ghost of Freddy Krueger!"
"Calm down. Tidus, its me."
"Kairi?"
"I was in study hall when the lights went out."
"Didn't you leave with everyone else?"
"I wanted to get in extra study time!"
"You mean you wanted to stay alone at school and do weird stuff!"
"What!? Tidus, that's ridiculous! Why are YOU here?"
"Uh, well, I kinda . . . "
"That's what I thought. Where are the others?"
Tidus' eyes began to adjust to the dark.
"I lost them when I was running around in a blind rage."
"A blind rage!? Like that time in the supermarket when you found out that Barney wasn't real?"
"First of all, I wasn't in a blind rage, I was just surprised. Second of all, Barney IS real!"
"Suuure. Tidus, tell me where Riku and Sora went."
"They're brave! They're probably marching to the principal's office right now to find out what's going on!"
***
Sora and Riku cowered in a corner.
"Riku, if we don't make it out of here alive . . . I just wanted you to know that . . . "
"You remember that time when you had to kiss that girl with braces, and they got stuck to your lips?"
"You swore you'd never speak of that!"
"And pictures of that scene mysteriously appeared around school?"
" . . . Sora I'm going to have to kill you."
"Better you than whatever monster is around here. Hey, if you kill me you'll be in this place all alone . . . "
"Oh . . . Sora, remember that time when we got locked in that closet, and played hide and seek to pass the time?"
"Yeah! I kept forgetting to check in the closet!"
" . . . right. Anyway, I kinda cheated."
"Go on."
"You remember how that one coat seemed unusually big?"
"Riku, how could you!?"
"I didn't think you'd think it was that bad!"
" . . . "
" . . . "
"Shouldn't we be trying to find Tidus?"
"Yeah, whatever"
Sora and Riku walked down the hallway and their eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness.
"You watched that commercial with the car in Hawaii, right?" Sora asked at random
"Yeah, so?"
"Why DO they have interstates in Hawaii?"
"They're planning on-"
"No no" Sora interrupted.
"Give me an answer that requires the use of thought."
"Well, maybe the highway is only inside the state, so its an interstate."
"But on our island, the highways connect to all kinds of continents, but some of 'em are still called interstates."
Riku started thinking harder.
"Well, maybe at the border of the two states, the road becomes the interstate of a different state."
"But its all one road! It can only belong to one, Riku! It can only belong to one!"
"Have you ever been to the border, Sora?"
"That's beside-"
"ANSWER the question!"
" . . . "
"As I thought. Then the roads are probably split somewhere, you just assume they're connected."
"Does this mean you won the argument, Riku?"
" . . . I'll let you off easy."
"Your point makes no sense, Riku!" Sora began arguing.
"SORA! Haven't you ever heard the quote: "Live and let live"?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sure you know the meaning."
"Not really."
"You said you've heard it before."
"You're putting words in my mouth, I just said I had heard it." Sora retorted.
"Sora, it means if someone lets you off easy, then you have to refrain from attacking them again!"
" . . . What about when you were suffocating Lisa that one time? She could have stabbed you in the stomach with that kitchen knife, but she didn't, even though you were killing her! She let you live, but you kept trying to murder her!"
"I wasn't trying to murder her, I was just giving her a little hug!"
"LIES! She was turning blue!"
" . . . so I'm a little passionate."
"I bet you don't hug your mother that hard."
"Why would I. You and Tidus are the ones in love with her."
"Riku, I do NOT love your mother."
"Sure, sure. Want me to give you her number?"
"She lives across the street! Besides, I don't date people with cheesy children!"
The two bumped into Kairi and Tidus.
"Thinking about dating someone else, are you Sora?" Kairi asked.
"Kairi!"
Sora pulled who he thought was Kairi up and kissed her on the cheek.
"Kairi!" he said again, hugging her.
" . . . uh, Sora, we're not friends like THAT" Tidus said.
"Ahh!" Sora shooed him away and grabbed the real Kairi.
"I thought it was Kairi!" Sora said defensively.
"Sure you did, Sora."
"So now I have competition?" Kairi asked.
"I think he gets it from his father." Riku added.
"What are you talking about? He has a kid!" Sora screamed.
"Who?" The three of them asked.
"ME!!!"
" . . . "
" . . . "
" . . . "
"Why are you guys so quiet?" Sora aksked.
"It adds to the mood." Riku said.
"I have an idea!" Tidus interjected.
"Lets look in Riku's locker!"
"Uh, its to far." Riku said.
Suddenly the lights came on and everyone found out they were right next to Riku's locker.
"Cool!" Tidus slammed it with a fist and it opened.
"No! The world isn't ready for what's inside!" Riku yelled.
Tidus started reading the plays that Riku had written for drama class.
"Mr. Chuckles and the three stairs, A New Dress for Doctor Wigglesworth, and . . . " Tidus stifled a laugh.
"Don't laugh when you hear it!" Riku warned.
"The Final Revelations of Kitty Jimbo and Weasel Bob!"
At first Kairi, Tidus, and Sora tried hard to stifle laughs. Then they fell on the ground and started cracking up completely.
"Don't laugh! Someday the world will see the brilliance!"
"Weasel Bob!" Tidus yelled as he laughed more.
After they had a good laugh, the three got back up to look at a very upset Riku.
"I'm sorry Riku, but-It was too funny!" Tidus said.
"It wasn't funny!" yelled Riku.
"It was genius!"
"Like the time Sora filmed my mother and father in a room for three hours and sent it to Playboy?" Riku asked sarcastically.
"Yeah! But-Hey! That was Wakka!"
"Sure."
"We don't have time for this!" Kairi interrupted.
"We have to get to the bottom of this."
"I think this is the lowest level-" Tidus started.
"Not literally, you clodhopper." Kairi said, slapping Tidus on the back of the head.
"We'll go to the office and find out what's going on!"
"Oh" said Tidus, Riku, and Sora at the same time.
Kairi led the way and they all went down the hallway and turned the corner to go towards the office.
A hand came out of the locker and pulled in Tidus, but no one seemed to notice. Another hand grabbed Kairi, but Sora and Riku for some reason didn't hear her tortured screams.
Finally, the two went into the principal's office and saw a figure in dark clothing in the principal's chair.
"Reveal yourself!" yelled Riku and Sora at the same time.
The figure jumped at them but crashed into the wall, and the black cloth fell off of it.
Riku and Sora gasped.
"Scooby-Doo!"
The small dog stood up.
"And I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids and . . . "
The small dog burst into tears and jumped out of the window.
"That was weird." Riku said.
"And pointless." Sora continued.
The two turned around a found Tidus and Kairi by the doorway looking angry.
"What about us!? You forgot all about us!?" Kairi yelled.
The two looked at each other.
" . . . anyway, lets get out of this window. The drop is only about two feet." Riku said, ignoring them.
The four exited out of the window and walked across the nighttime grass and onto the sidewalk at the back of the school. The walked home from their.
"We almost went crazy!" Tidus screamed.
Riku laughed.
"Yeah, you be our official entertainer/jester if anything like that happens again."
"I deserve a better role!"
Everyone started laughing.
"Good one, Tidus, but save it for the escapades." Sora said, patting Tidus on the shoulder.
" . . . "
They walk off until you can't see them anymore, and you hear Sora's voice.
"I didn't look for my dad today! My mom's going to send me to bed with no supper and make me sleep in the basement!"
*chuckles can be heard*
"It's NOT funny! Last time I told them it was illegal, they said the government was lying!"
*Chuckles stop and crickets start to chirp. You still can't see anyone and can only hear their voices*
"Last time I slept there, I found three strange men!"
*the cricket is quiet and you can hear the sound of people running away from Sora and the screeching of the tires of cars.*

AN: I hope Sora finds his father soon . . . or else ALL of Destiny Islands will be in chaos. In the next one, Tidus sees the guidance counselor, and Wakka tries to get Selphie to play hooky with him in Destiny Islands Private School.
