" I want that one!"
" Are you sure?"
" Mmhmm"
" He'll take the sea-salt ice-cream!"
" Yay!"
" Thank you!"
Sitting in the small round table for four, they ate their desired ice-cream. Hikaru had chosen the sea-salt ice-cream, a local favorite in the kingdom. Kairi had chosen a low-fat chocolate ice-cream, and Riku choose his favorite vanilla mint ice-cream. Sora, on the other hand, decided not to eat any ice-cream. She was opposed to the idea of thinking and eating, and she had a lot of thinking to do.
" Hey Sora! Why didn't you get anything?" Riku asked after eating some of his ice-cream.
" Huh? What did you say?" Sora said crawling out of her daze.
Riku smiled and shook his head, " Nothing."
" Anyway! Who else got their uniform today?" Kairi asked trying to change the subject. There was no subject to begin with, but a nice conversation would probably end their boredom.
Sora's eyes went wide, " Oh crap!"
"What is it Sora?" Riku asked with concern.
" I forgot to tell the school to get me a male uniform!" Sora whispered. She lay low upon her arms until she finally lay her head on them with defeat.
" Shit, you're right." Riku said looking worried.
" Language! You are in the presence of a young child and lady!" Kairi growled playfully, although she really meant what she said.
" Hmm, what lady? All I see is you and Sora…" Riku said playfully.
" Watch it!" Kairi hissed. Riku chuckled.
" I'm just joking, I'm in the presence of the two most loveliest ladies in all of destiny islands," Riku announced with a chuckle.
" …What lady?" Sora said looking around.
" Sora!" Kairi giggled.
Sora smiled. She was no longer a she in the eyes of others. After much debate she finally won, and headed to her house. There she spiked her hair and put on a t-shirt and shorts. She also replaced her sandals that made her feet look girlish and petite, with oversized shoes.
" Anyway I probably should go home and call the school before they bring me a female uniform!" Sora said lowly.
" Alright," Kairi smiled. Riku looked at both of them.
" Sora, I think you would look much lovelier in a female uniform…in fact I think guys would be jumping for the chance to date you!" Riku explained.
Sora blushed," I'm not looking for a boyfriend…at least not yet! Besides what would people think? They knew me as a boy, I doubt they'd like me as a girl."
" Sora, you're still they same person as a girl or a boy! This time guys would just think you are very attractive!" Kairi smiled.
Sora blushed more, " Like I said, I'm not looking for a boyfriend!"
" Oh well there goes my chance!" Riku said leaning back in his chair. Both girls giggled. " You leave me heart broken, Sora!" Riku announced in a somewhat dramatic fashion.
" I'm sorry, you're just not my type!" Sora said flamboyantly throwing her hand in the air.
Riku chuckled, " I'm serious Sora."
Sora's blush returned only with ten times the force, " You mean…?"
Riku nodded, " I think you should wear a female uniform!"
Sora's face faltered, and if it were not for the chair she would have fallen, " Oh!"
" Riku's right! How long do you intend on keeping your gender a secret Sora?" Kairi asked.
" I just thought I'd always be…a boy, I guess. I think people would prefer me over some girl…" Sora trailed off.
" You aren't a boy Sora," Riku said somewhat angry.
" I know …but…"
" There isn't any buts, okay Sora?" Riku growled, " You are a girl…and I'm really tired of you hiding behind boy's clothes. I've been forcing to be nice this entire time, but now I think it's time to talk about this at your house!"
Sora stood up angrily, " I'm not taking you to my house just to get yelled at okay?"
Everyone started to stare, and Kairi noticed this. She smiled and tried to wave out their stares with her hands. It wasn't working well.
" Okay so you want me to yell at you here?" Riku shouted at Sora.
" No! Just leave me alone!" Sora shouted back.
" Guys!" Kairi hissed, " You guys were fine a minute ago!"
" Well I'm, sorry but I really hate seeing Sora pathetic like this!" Riku shouted.
" What do you mean pathetic?"
" Mommy!" Hikaru cried. Sora turned her attention on the sobbing child.
" Nice one Riku!" Sora hissed. She picked up the child from the seat and carried him off outside the shop.
" What the hell is wrong with you?" Kairi hissed. She dragged him outside the ice-cream shop, not believing how embarrassing the whole situation was.
" The attitude she has! Damn it! She refuses to acknowledge that what ever happened is gone! I don't care if it's what she was the most comfortable in, I hate seeing her pathetic like that! She beats herself down for something she can't help to be!" Riku explained in a fury. " I want her to be happy for once!"
" Riku," Kairi began trying to find the words to best describe the situation, " I understand how you feel…but it's her choice you can't possibly force her to be happy with who she is. Someone took that away from her, and maybe someday you might give it back, but for now just be patient. This isn't something you can resolve in five minutes, and by arguing no less!"
" So what do I do? Watch how with each passing day, she becomes less and less of a person because of her gender?" Riku glared.
" Riku I want to see her happy with who she is just as much as you do," Kairi explained, " But for now I think the best thing for all of us is if you would apologize to her."
" Oh yes, Sora! I'm so VERY sorry for trying to make you happy!" Riku said sarcastically.
" You aren't helping!" Kairi shouted.
" Neither is she!" Riku said pointing toward the street even though Sora was long gone before they stepped out.
" Riku! Please! Just do it!" Kairi begged.
" Fine! Let's go to her house!"
