There was a few moments of awkward silence as Kairi and Sora continued down the sidewalk.
"Um.. Kairi, are you ok?" Sora asked her, his voice filled with concern for his friend.
"Of course Sora, why wouldn't I be ok?" Kairi said, putting on her fake cheery voice, which of course, was completely obvious.
"Well.. You just seem upset or something.." Sora said, he hoped nothing was seriously wrong with Kairi.
"Sora, I already told you, I just had a.. really, really long day." Kairi said, returning back to her newly found glum voice.
"Ok.., well we're here." Sora said, slightly upset that Kairi seemed to be avoiding his question, or at least giving an un-truthful answer.
Kairi looked up to see a medium sized, house, made out of wood and painted with egg-shell-white paint, a tiled roof, along with sparkling clean windows with dark blue shutters, and a big blue door.
The lawn was fresh cut and springy, and a short white fence wrapped around it. And near the fence gate, was a white mail box with a picture of a humming bird on it, along with the number '93'.
It reminded Kairi of one of those perfect houses you might see in a movie, or T.V. show.
Sora walked ahead of Kairi and held the door open for her. "Thank-you." She said politely as she stepped inside.
Sora took her on a tour of the house, before bringing her to the Den/Office.
"You can sit down if you want." Sora said, gesturing to a big white couch.
"Oh sorry." Kairi said embarrassedly, noticing that she had been standing in the doorway, motionless, for about a minute or two.
"So what do you want to work on first?" Sora asked, as he fell back into the couch, and rested his school bag beside him.
"How about Math, do you have anything to work on?" Kairi asked, as she sat down on the other side of Sora.
"I think so." Sora Said, rummaging through his school bag and pulling out a piece of paper.
Sora and Kairi worked on homework for about 30 minutes or so, before Sora decided that they should take a short break.
"Hey Kairi, do you want to take a walk to the park, it's just down the street?" Sora asked.
"Sure, I'll go." Kairi said, happy to have a break from homework.
"Ok, hang on, I'll bring my skate board, maybe I can teach you how to ride it!" Sora said enthusiastically, as he ran up the stairs to his bedroom.
Kairi was sitting patiently on the bottom steps as Sora came running down with two skateboards, two helmets, and some knee and elbow pads– just in case.
"All set, let's go!" Sora said.
He held the door open for Kairi once again, and they began their way down to the park.
"Here we are." Sora said, pointing to a big sign that read: Twilight Town, Public Park In big red letters.
Spring flowers were scattered all over the grass, butterflies fluttered all around, Children played in a big sand box, and big willow trees hid people from the sun.
"Where are you supposed to ride your skateboard?" Kairi asked, knowing that they wouldn't go to far trying to ride them on grassy hills.
"There." Sora said pointing to a long winding cement path that ran through the park. Kairi wasn't sure how she had missed it.
Kairi looked to the left of the path and noticed a young couple kissing on a bench, they looked slightly familiar, but she just brushed it off and turned her attention back to Sora.
Sora handed Kairi a helmet and a pair of knee and elbow pads, she put them on quickly, eager to ride a skateboard for the first time.
"Now watch me." Sora said as he hopped on his skateboard, he rode halfway down the pathway and came back, of course not without doing a trick or two to impress Kairi.
"Now you try." He handed her his extra skate board and began telling her what to do.
"Put one foot on the skate board, make sure you feel secure." Kairi did so.
"Keep your other foot on the ground, and kick off, keep moving your leg to keep going."
Kairi pushed off with her foot and practically glided down the path.
"Wow Kairi, you're doing great!" She heard Sora yell.
She turned around and began heading back to where Sora was, but due to the fact she was so distracted by Sora's pride in her, she didn't notice that she was headed for the park bench where the young couple still sat, kissing.
"Ah!" Kairi yelled. She fell flat on her face, right next to the young couples feet.
"Sorry!" She said to them as she spat out a mouthful of grass.
"I should have been more..." But Kairi stopped in mid sentence, for she had notice that the kissing couple was none other then Roxas and Namine.
"Oh my gosh!" Kairi shrieked, returning to her feet.
Flustered and embarrassed Roxas and Namine quickly pulled away from one another.
"Kairi, what are you doing here?" Namine shrieked with an uneasy voice.
"I should ask you the same thing." Kairi put her hands on her hips and gave Namine a quizzical look.
Sora quickly ran over to Kairi. "Kairi are you okay?" He panted.
"I'm fine, thank-you for asking, but why don't you ask these two what they've been up too?" Kairi said, pointing to the embarrassed pair.
"Roxas, Namine? What are you two doing here?" Sora said, completely unaware of what Kairi had just witnessed moments earlier.
"I caught them here, kissing." Kairi said looking at Namine, Namine hung her head down.
"What?" Sora said, obviously confused.
"I'm sorry, Sora, Namine and I have to go home." Kairi handed Sora his skateboard and knee and elbow pads.
"But Kairi, your school bag is still at my house." Sora said.
"Give it to me tomorrow, before school, okay?" Kairi said, grabbing Namine's hand tightly.
"Okay then.. See you later Kairi."
Kairi pulled Namine out of the park by her hand, she had some explaining to do.
