Chapter 3-A Very Big Surprise Indeed

Point of view: Kairi

I should have known that Riku would leave me like Sora. As tears began to fill in my eyes I spotted a piece of paper that was placed at the side of the bed.

It read:

Kairi,

I am sorry I had to leave you. Unfortunately, there is something I want you to know the darkness is back and they are looking for someone who has the power to stop them. I need your help Kairi because I am being held by them and soon I will be forgotten. That was not me last night, but an image of me that I sent to you for help. Please help me.

-Riku

I began to cry how could he leave. He was gone and now he needed my help when I had no way to get off this damn island.

Something had caught my eye. It was under the note. It was a gold crown that was broken down the middle and it was missing the other piece. 'Where had this come from.What is it,' I thought. I don't understand why he did not write about it in the note.

I must build a raft to get off the island and I have to save Riku. Also could Sora be in danger as well. God I hope not.

Soon I found myself crying about thinking of what would happen to Sora. I loved him and did not want him to get hurt. I have missed him more then you could think. His smile, laughter, and voice I hear in my head but in reality only silence could be heard. Nothing more than a dead dream.for now.

I looked at my alarm clock next to me and saw it was 4:37pm in the afternoon. I was late to Selphie's surprise party. How could I do this I was her best friend plus I did not know I slept that long.

I grabbed a blue sundress that had tropical light blue and dark blue flowers on it. I then put on my blue flip-flops and ran downstairs to grab a coat. As I opened the door I could see rain pouring down like the sky was crying for me.

****

Soon I arrived at Matt's house, drenched from head to toe with water.

"Thank God you're here Kai. Selphie would have been pissed like hell if you had not come." Said Matt with a sign of relief.

"Sorry I over slept last night and I had a visitor."

"Who was this visitor?" He said with a curious expression on his face.

"An old friend."

"Ok, well I still have to setup. Can you help?"

"No problem."

The party began at 5:00pm and ended at 11:00pm. Everyone was there already except Selphie and Tidus for he took her out to a late lunch because it was her birthday today. He insisted on treating her. You probably know why.

Everyone was racing around to put the finishing touches for the party like cups, food and last minute decorations. Now everything was ready except for our guest of honor-Selphie. She was twenty minutes late. I was going to kill Tidus if she did not show up. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door.

"Coming." Matt said excitedly. "Places everyone." He said n a whispering voice so Selphie would not hear him.

Matt then opened the door where Selphie and Tidus stood standing. She did not look to thrilled for she looked like she was freezing her ass off and so did Tidus.

"What took you so long?" She said as she tried to shake off all of the water that was on her.

"Sorry I was on the phone." Said Matt as he gave her a hug. His face looked like it was ready to burst out laughing. (A/N Think of an anime face just wanting to laugh.)

"What's wrong and why is it so damn dark in here."

"SURPRISE." We all shouted at the top of our lungs.

"What the hell." She said with her mouth wide open in shock.

"Happy Birthday Selphie." I said while walking up to her with a big smile on my face. "I thought you would never come." I said this as I gave an evil glare to Tidus who was right next to me.

"You totally got me Kairi. I had no idea this would happen. Looks like my day is turning out to be better than I thought because I could not find anyone except Tidus who took me out for a late lunch. Thankx again." She said as she gave me a hug.

"No problem, that is what friends are for."

****

The party was great. There was dancing, eating and games, but I still had Riku and Sora on my mind. I was daydreaming of the day Sora left. 'Could he really be in danger and how could I help Riku.' I thought.

"Kairi, you ok. Kairi.Kairi." Said Selphie waving her hand in my face back and forth as I finally came back to reality to realize this. "I have been calling your name for the last five minutes. Are you ok because you have been very quiet and kind of out of it."

"I'm sorry I was just spacing out. You know me." I said this as I gave her a big smile.

"Kairi do you want to come play truth or dare with us?"

"Sure, sounds good."

"We are going to play in the Secret Place just because it is better in there."

****

We arrived at the Secret Place soaking wet again. The rain was still pouring down. This place brought back so many painful memories and I have not been back for almost two years. I then spotted the picture of Sora and me exchanging papou fruits. I felt like crying but I bit my lip and held back my pain driven tears. 'Why did I come I should have known I would break down like this.' I thought as Matt, Selphie, Tidus and I sat down on the cold ground ready to play.

"Ok we ready." Said Matt.

"Ya we are." The three of us said.

"Kairi truth or dare." Said Tidus

"Dare." I said hoping to get an easy one.

"I dare you to kiss Matt." Said Tidus trying to keep himself from cracking up.

"WHAT THE HELL." Selphie said looking very pissed off.

"Relax Selphie it's just a game." Said Matt.

"Do I have to." I said not wanting to start any trouble or have Selphie be mad at me.

"Yes or you have to run in the party naked." Tidus said with a very enjoying look on his face.

"Fine."

I hate Tidus. When this is all over I am going to literally kick the stuffing out of him. As I leaned in to kiss Matt, I began to fell a strange feeling that I never had for Matt before. He looked so handsome and hot. The kiss was short and quick but still I liked it. 'What the hell am I thinking I love Sora.'

"Was that so bad." He said

Silence.

Everyone burst out laughing except Selphie who was still very very pissed off because I kissed Matt.

"My turn." I said hoping to get my revenge on Tidus. "Ok who should I pick Tidus, truth or dare."

"Truth." He said confidently.

"Let's see-Do you have a crush on Selphie and you must be totally honest."

Tidus then went as white as if he had seen a ghost. He was going to kill me after this was all over.

Silence.

Tidus was beginning to sweat uncontrollably. "Ok, I do have a crush on Selphie." As he said this Selphie's face went as read as a tomato. Matt did not look to pleased about his answer and I just started to laugh rolling on the ground. How sweet it was to get revenge.

"Matt it's your turn, truth or dare." Said Tidus.

"Dare."

"I dare you to.."

All of a sudden a figure came running in. It was Wakka. "You *panting* would not *panting* believe who is here. *panting* It is Sora. He's *panting* finally back."

Sorry to leave you hanging once again. What would happen when Kairi hears this. If you want to find out read the next chapter I will post soon. Hope you like it and please review. Later.
