-----Shelby's POV-----
I stared –wide-eyed- at the….thing in front of us. Sora and Skye had started to panic so I decided to do he only thing I could think of doing. I summoned my wooden staff and started to whack the living hell out of what Sora had called Guard Armor.
Sora and Skye were starting to help and trying to not be hit by the detachable legs of the body. Sora did a side swipe with his keyblade and one arm exploded into hp recovery items, and we all ran around trying to collect them all.
Skye was low on hp and I had no items, nor did I know magic so we were at the mercy of Sora. I heard Skye yell to Sora, "I'M GONNA DIE AND IT'LL BE ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"ME!"
"YES YOU!"
"WHY ME?"
"YOU GAVE ME THOSE DREAMS AND YOU ARE DRAGING US ALONG ON THIS WILD GOOSE CHASE!"
"I DID NOT!"
"Oh."
"Would you two stop fighting long enough to help me?" I screamed. I threw an extra potion I had found to Skye and hit Guard Armor's left leg, making it explode.
Skye had finally started to pay attention but I think it would have been better if she had been oblivious to what was going on because when she turned around Guard Armor hit her, knocking her out.
While I worked on the last leg Sora took the torso. When we were finally finished we walked over to Skye. I rolled my eyes and screamed "OH MY GOSH IT'S ORLANDO BLOOM!" instantly Skye was standing up, looking around.
Sora gave me a weird 'what in the heck' look and I waved it off. When Skye realized I was kidding she glared at me. I sat on a bench and went into deep thought. Skye had obviously realized that and was being extremely quiet.
I suddenly broke the silence. "Something is……different." Skye nodded. I thought a bit more then looked up at Skye again. "I am not sugar high." Skye gasped.
Skye looked to Sora then back to me. "I'm gonna go back to the hotel." I nodded and looked to Sora with a questioning look. "I'll go back too." I nodded. As they walked away I looked towards the bell tower. I could see the sun set perfectly from on top of it. I smiled and went through the Gizmo shop to the ladder that led to the top of the bell tower. I climbed up and sat on the top. I sighed as it got darker…and darker…and darker. I lay back on the tower and looked up at the sky. It was a clear night and there were too many stars to count. Suddenly, I heard a voice.
"Hi." I sat up quickly and looked behind me.
I gasped. "Y-you are-."
"Riku." My mouth was hanging open.
"I saw you in my-."
"Dreams?"
I narrowed my eyes. "Are you a psychic or something?"
"No. I just knew because…you were in my dreams too." We both blushed.
"So, umm…"
"I saw you with Sora."
I raised an eyebrow. "You know him?"
He smiled. Wow, his smile… "We are best friends."
I nodded slowly. "So why aren't you helping him?"
"Why aren't you sugar high?"
"Why are you stalking me?" He didn't say anything; he just looked into my eyes. His eyes were a brilliant cerulean blue. I suddenly hated the color of my eyes- a dark forest green. I closed my eyes and looked away.
I felt his hand go under my chin and turn my head so I was looking at him again. I opened my eyes and he stared into them again. I gave him a questioning look. "Your eyes…" He paused, "They're beautiful."
I blushed. "No there not. I hate the color of my eyes."
He frowned. "Well I happen to love the color of your eyes." His hand was still cupping my chin. I wondered what the look in his eyes was. I hadn't known him long enough to know. He stared into my eyes a while longer then smiled and dropped his hand away from my chin.
"I have some things to do in another world. Maybe I'll see you some other time?" I nodded, unable to speak for some reason. He pushed a few loose hairs from my face –letting is fingers graze my skin- and gave a small, sad smile as he walked away.
After a few minutes of staring at the spot he had just been in I climbed down the ladder. I headed towards the hotel. As I walked back I had a few random thoughts. Why is it that the guy of my dreams (literally) has to me so hott? What was that look in his eyes? Has he been having those dreams as long as I have? Two weeks? Is there a ice cream stand around anywhere? I had reached the hotel and walked to the room I shared with Skye- the red room- and found her sitting on her bed talking to Sora about…something.
"Hey." I was partially deep in thought and they noticed.
"What did you do while you were gone? Oh no, they didn't leave the lock off the liquor cabinet somewhere did they?" Skye asked in a panic.
I answered a quiet "No" and plopped down on the bed. "I'm fine."
Sora and Skye glanced at each other and stood up. "Whatever you say." They walked out the door and walked towards the bell tower. They sat in silence for a while and watched the stars.
After about thirty minutes of awkward silence Skye stood up. "I'm getting tired. I think I'll head back now." She pecked him on the cheek and skipped happily towards the hotel. Sora sat stunned. He put his hand over the spot Skye had kissed. "Wow."
Shelby: YAY, RIKU!
Skye; YAY, SORA!
Ice cream man: ICE CREAM! GET YOUR ICE CREAM!
Skye and Shelby: -gasp-
Cabbage man from Avatar: the Last Airbender (which we don't own): CABBAGES! GET YOUR CABBAGES! –to self- this place is SO much better than Omashu.
