Thank you reviewers! I'm watching Edward Scissorhands right now. I swear, that's the best movie ever. I love the inventor! He's so cool! Ahem, anyhow. Things might seem to get rather random in a second, but I swear it's vital to the plot! Plot, lol, funny word.
If you haven't already, go read Dimitri Plabato/Drake Dragon's story (http://www.fanfiction.net/profile.php?userid=463773). It's pretty good, so KYLE will be sure to read it and review. *icy glare* Right? If you guys have stories you want me to read, then just tell me and I will read it as soon as I can find time.

Kairi cautiously opened the wardrobe, peeking inside and gasping at what she saw. Seven beautifully regal dresses were hanging inside. Each was a different color and several had intricately embroidered hems. "Wow.." She breathed as she admired the dresses.
The Heartless leaned forward and picked out the simplest one, handing it to Kairi for further inspection.
"This one?" She asked, examining the beautiful material.
It was jet black, nearly sleeveless with the skimpy dual straps. When Kairi held it up to herself, she was surprised to find that it appeared to fit, cascading down to touch the tops of her feet loosely. The bottom hem had a gothic pattern embroidered around it in snow white thread, adding an elegant feel to it.
Excited, she quickly stripped and pulled the dress on, already liking the feel of the fabric. She stood up straight in front of the mirror, inspecting how well it fit. It felt as though it had been made for her, stretched comfortably across her chest and stomach, and reaching the floor with out really touching. The dual straps rested against her shoulders, more of a decoration that for support. She noticed now that it had slits up the sides, admiring how elegant it seemed to make her legs look.
Excited, she spun to face the Heartless. "It's beautiful! What do you think?" She spun around to show it off.
She tried not to show her surprise when the Heartless gave her an enthusiastic thumbs-up, blushing slightly and turning back to the wardrobe. She noticed a chest at the bottom, opening it curiously to find it full of various styles of shoes. She found a pair of black boots and set them aside, looking around until she spotted a dresser in the corner, matching the style of the wardrobe.
She walked over to it and pulled open the top drawers, finding it full of boxers and underwear. Closing it, she opened the drawers next to it, this one full of bras and more boxers. (A/N- Just to let you know, it's nothing weird or whatever, it's just that boxers are really comfy! Some people don't seem to comprehend that girls like to wear boxers. Sorry, I just get a lot of blank stares sometimes when I try to explain that to my friends..) Closing that drawers as well, she moved on to the next one, doing a victory dance in her head when she found what she was looking for, the sock drawer.
She pulled out a pair of thigh-high white stockings, pulling them on before she tried on the boots, pleased with the cozy fit. Smiling, she stood back up and turned to look in the mirror. "Hmm, something's missing.." She trailed off, looking hopefully at the Heartless.
The Heartless examined her for a moment, form shifting as it switched outfits to match her once again. A moment later, it shifted again, wearing the same outfit, but now with a chain around its neck, a buckle locked firmly in the middle of it.
"Wow, that's an unusual necklace, but I kinda like it. Where is it?" Kairi asked, looking around the room for it.
The Heartless skipped excitedly over to the bedside table, pointing at the top drawer frantically. Kairi walked over and pulled it open, digging through the dusty contents until she found the necklace, holding it up to the light as she dusted it off. Slowly, it began to shine, the metal of the chain showing through. The buckle rested on a strip of black leather, like it had been cut off of a belt and attached to the chain. Kairi could sense that it had some sort of sentimental value to someone, so she quickly undid the chain, binding it around her neck as a choker and clipping it back on. It fell loosely against the base of her neck, accenting her slim figure.
She turned again to look in the mirror and nodded in approval. "I like it!" She said to the Heartless, who was smiling widely at her.
Kairi thought for a moment, pacing around the room. "Hey, can you take me to the library?" She asked, remembering the mess she and Ansem had made in the battle against the Heartless the day before. The replica nodded and motioned for Kairi to follow, quickly scampering out the door and leading her down the hall.

Sora and Riku ran out of the castle gates, able to hear Cid's frantic yelling from all the way inside the garden. Squall, Cloud, and Aerith stood around outside the gates, Aerith trying to contain her laughter and Squall shaking his head in disapproval.
"What's going on?" Sora shouted over the loud curses coming from the small gummi ship that appeared ready for launch.
Cloud turned to face Sora, crossing his arms over his chest. "King Mickey got a new type of smaller, less detectable gummi ship, and Cid said he would teach Yuffie how to fly it. As you can hear, it isn't going well." He motioned over to the small ship, shaking violently as Cid came storming out.
Riku laughed briefly, ducking as several tools came shooting toward his head.
"Shuttup, kid!! You try teaching that Almighty Ninja how to fly that thing!" He yelled, picking up a booklet that was lying on the ground beside the tool case and climbing back inside.
All was quiet for a moment before all hell seemed to break loose, Yuffie's shouts mingling with Cid's curses.
"WILL YOU STOP PRESSING THAT BUTTON?!" He shouted, the engines flaring angrily as the ship shook.
"Oh! Get off!! I can do it!! Stop whining!!!" Yuffie shouted back, the ship hovering several feet before the engine died.
Yuffie hopped out, storming past Cloud and stopping to stand beside Sora as Cid came stomping out behind her.
"You don't have to make this so hard!" He cried, flipping violently through the book.
"I'm sorry! It's just really hard to focus when some old guy is shouting in your ears!!" She shot back, huffing angrily and turning away form him.
"Some old guy?!" Cid threw down the booklet and stomped on it. "Look! Right there! Just follow the damn instructions!" He cried, pointing down to the book pressed firmly beneath his foot.
"Hey, maybe I can help. I learned how to fly a gummi ship, and maybe Yuffie could focus better with someone her own age.." Sora said, scratching the back of his head as he looked up at Cid.
Cid eyed him for a moment before resting his hands back on his hips. "Whatever, kid. Let's go." He said, shoving Sora and Yuffie back aboard the ship.
Tidus and Wakka chose this moment to burst through the castle gates, skidding to a stop right behind Aerith when they heard the shouts coming form inside already.
Riku burst into laughter at the confused looks on their faces, Aerith following his lead and Tidus and Wakka exchanging nervous glances as they looked around at their friends.
"Stop doing that! You- OH! You little-! You're gonna blow the damn ship up!!" Cid cried.
"No I'm not!! Stop griping!! HEY! I can do it myself, Sora!" Yuffie shouted at the two males, the ship rocking violently as Sora tripped over Cid.
"Yuffie, just press this one, no, don't touch that!! There ya go, now- Ah!" Sora shouted over the racket of Cid's complaints."
"Hey, kid, help me here!!" Cid cried, the ship bouncing violently.
"What are you- HEY!! Stoppit!! Let me GO!!" Yuffie shouted, a loud thump sounding as her foot collided with the hull.
"Ah! There! Yuffie, you just- NO! Look! Cid, where'd ya put that booklet?" Sora scrambled violently to hold onto Yuffie's arm as he grabbed the book.
"See?! There! Right THERE! It's not that difficult! You just- HEY!" Sora cried, the ship calming down as the onlookers held their breath.
It was quiet for a moment, then Cid's voice cut through the short intermission, fresh obscenities reverberating off of the castle walls.
It was silent again.
A few moments later, the gummi ship rose off of the ground, hovered several feet in the air, turned around, and set back down.
Yuffie came bounding back out, skipping and jumping wildly in her victory dance. "OH! Did you see that!? I did it! I told you I could!" She hopped around Squall, pulling happily at his clothing.
Sora and Cid stumbled back out, collapsing in relieved heaps on the ground, shaking hands.
"Good work, kid." Cid huffed, trying his hardest to ignore Yuffie.
Sora huffed and waved in reply, unable to believe he had succeeded in getting Yuffie to listen to them.
Tidus and Wakka looked curiously at Sora and Cid, "Did we miss somethin'?" Wakka asked, tossing his blitzball up and catching it as he waited for a reply.
Everyone laughed, turning to return to the castle for lunch. Yuffie still hopping around them and shouting.
