"Beep Beep Beep."

Kairi's alarm clock chimed.

Kairi rubbed her eyes and reached for the off button on her alarm clock, but accidently knocked it off her night stand, causing it to break.

"Cheap piece of plastic." She mumbled, crawling out of bed and picking up the broken pieces.

Her eyes directed themselves to Namine's bed, it was already made and empty.

It had been three weeks since Namine and Kairi's big fight, and things still hadn't been patched up, in fact things were worse then when the fight first started.

Of course, Kairi had only tried apologizing once.

The day they had the fight, after Namine came back from when she stormed off, to who knows where, Kairi tried to confront her, but Namine replied by chucking fruit at Kairi's head.

That's when Kairi decided that it would be best if she gave Namine some space.

Kairi couldn't stand fighting with Namine for this long, but Namine seemed perfectly fine with it.

Kairi got dressed in a hurry and ran out the front door.

"Hi Kairi." Sora waved to her.

"Hi Sora, ready to go?" Kairi and Sora had been walking to school together everyday since the big fight.

"Yep." He said a little nervously.

"You okay?" Kairi asked him.

"I'm fine.." Sora said, fiddling with his thumbs.

It took them about five minutes to get to school, and they still had an extra six or seven minutes to talk in the halls before classes started.

Kairi was putting her books in her locker, while Sora stood beside her, just staring.

"What are you staring at?" Kairi laughed.

"Me? Um.. Nothing." Sora was visibly nervous about something, and it looked as if his palms were sweaty.

"Okay then.." Kairi laughed.

"Well.. Actually Kairi.. I wanted to ask you something.

"Yeah?" Kairi closed her locker shut and turned her full attention to Sora.

"Well.. Er.. I was just wondering ifyouwouldgooutwithme!" Sora blurted out with difficulty.

"What?" Kairi had not understood a word Sora had just said.

"Okay, Sorry, let me try that again." he took a deep breath and began speaking.

"Kairi...will.. You.. Go out with me?" Sora said slowly.

Kairi was definitely caught by surprise with his question, but in a good way.

"Yes." Kairi said.

Sora's eyes lit up. And he seemed to be less tense.

"Want me to walk you to class?" Sora asked, holding out his hand.

"Sure." Kairi smiled and put her hand in his.

"This has to be one of the best days of my life." She thought, of course, Sora was thinking the exact same thing.

Down the hall..

A teen-age girl with long dark hair stood in front of the mirror in her locker and applied some lipstick.

"Tifa!" She heard someone shout.

Coming her way was a tall, hyper, blonde girl, known as Rikku.

"Morning Tifa." Rikku said cheerfully.

"Hey Rikku." Tifa said, while making faces in her mirror as she applied more lipstick.

"What's with all the make up?" Rikku asked.

"Well if you must know, I was planning on asking Sora out today."

"Didn't you hear? He asked some other girl out today.. Oh what was her name..Oh yeah! It was Kairi." Rikku stated. (A/N: Wow.. Word travels fast, don't you think?)

"What! The new girl? Sora asked her out?" Tifa yelled in outrage, lipstick smeared all over her face.

"Tifa.. Tifa calm down.." Rikku said worriedly, when Tifa got angry, it would be best to stay out of her way.

"Don't tell me to calm down!" Tifa barked

"I'm sorry!" Murmured a frightened Rikku

"I'm not gonna let some new girl waltz in on my territory." Tifa said slamming her locker closed.

"..W-What are you gonna do..?" Riku stuttered.

"What are you stupid? Break them up of course!." Tifa said with a devious smirk.

"How?" Rikku asked.

"I can help." An 'unknown person' cut in from behind them.

Tifa spun around.

"Who are you?" She asked.

Ending notes: Well.. I was gonna make this chapter longer, but I decided to leave you all at a cliff hanger.

Questions you can answer in your reviews:

1. What do you think Tifa will do to break them up?

2. Who's the 'unknown person'?
