Sorry..didn't realize that!

Oh yes, about the chapters. There are going to be one chapter per day, and one event in the convention in that day. I have events for the first two days (I forgot my third idea..actually I have one..but I'll probably forget it) but none for the rest of the days (at the moment). So, if you have an idea I'd like it if you suggest it!!!

Another thing (just to take up room XD)...One reason I made this fan fic because I too am in love with an animated character...two of them actually. ::glomps Riku from KH and Daisuke from DNAngel:: T.T why must they be animated?

Chapter 2: Day One: Cosplay Contest

Kairi sat in the bed of the hotel room thinking to herself. Aerith was busy getting ready in the bathroom, and Selphie was out preparing for the song. That left Sora and Kairi in the room. "So, how should I sum this day up so far? First, I come here all happy, hyper, and ready to eat lots of pocky." Kairi thought. "Then the hotel clerk lost our rooms, and so now me and Selphie, or using proper english, Selphie and I are forced here to stay in a hotel room with two strangers. I don't mind Aerith..in fact, she's really nice. But Sora.."

"Hey Kairi," said a familiar but very annoying voice behind her. She turned around and saw the anti-eye candy she was forced to stay with that week. Of course, she was referring to Sora. "Why did you dress up as Yuffie for the convention?" he asked.

"Because," she angrily sighed, "She's independent, fun to be with, and can get any guy she wants."

"Oh, so basically you dressed up as her because your no fun to be with and can't get a guy?" Sora asked, being one hundred percent serious.

"Baka!" she said, hitting him over the head with a rubber mallet.

"Where did that come from?" he asked, rubbing his head.

Kairi looked down at the mallet. "I don't know."

"Seems like a Kodocha rip off," Sora said cunningly.

"Shut up!" Kairi yelled at him, once again hitting him with the rubber mallet. She stood up stiffly and stormed out of the room. "Stupid baka," she said to herself as she walked the hallways. "He's nice to Selphie, but he keeps picking on me! I hate him, and he insults Niwa by dressing up as him!"

"Hey Kairi!" said yet again, a voice from behind, with the following of running foot steps. She didn't need to turn around to recognize that it was Selphie. Selphie caught up and started breathing heavily. "I finally found you! I have bad news.."

Kairi sighed. "What is it?"

Selphie looked at her feet. "Well...I lost the karoke CD for the contest today."

"You what?!" Kairi exclaimed. "Oh dear, what are we going to do!?"

"I don't know," she said, starting to cry a little.

Kairi looked at her friend with a 'your-a-hyper-idiot-but-your-in-pain-so-let-me-comfort-you' look on her face. "Don't worry your head over it. We'll think of something to do."

Selphie shook out of her sad mood and perked up. "I know! I have an idea!" she said jumping up and down. "I have an idea! I have an idea! I have an idea! I have an idea! I have an idea! I have an idea! I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!!"

"Just tell me it already!" Kairi snapped

Selphie tried to calm herself down. "We can do a skit!"

Kairi giggled and smiled at her friend. "That's a perfect idea! Let's get planning!"

---Meanwhile, back in the hotel room---

Sora looked down at his feet as he sat on the bed. "She hates me."

Aerith sat next to him and she put more purple hair dye in her long brown locks. "How could she not? I mean, you pick on her so much."

Sora laughed and laid back on the bed. "Can you blame me?"

Aerith giggled. "I guess not."

"Come on, we need to get ready for the contest," said Sora.

Aerith nodded. "Right."

A group of around one hundred anime fans were packed into an auditorium. They were all gathered there for the cosplay contest at hand. Kairi peeked from back stage at all the fans and gulped. "I didn't expect this many people to be here. This isn't good.."

Sora snuck up from behind her and grabbed her shoulder. "What, are you afraid of people?"

"Shut it Sora!" Kairi yelled at him as she pushed his hand off her shoulder. "I don't need this from you."

"Sorry, I didn't think it was your time of the month," he said under his breath.

"Baka!" she yelled.

"What, no rubber mallet?" laughed Sora.

"I'm going to go meditate!" she yelled at him as she stormed to the other side of the room and sat on the floor in the meditating position. It was true that some times Kairi got stage freight, but meditating always helped that. Meditating helped her relax, and be with Niwa. See, in her world of relaxation and fantasies, she can choose where to be, and who she wants to be with. The usual place is at the beach on and island. She would be wearing a purple bikini top and long beach skirt that danced in the wind. And then, Niwa would be there next to her, holding hands, leaning on each others shoulders, or sometimes...something else.

Sora glanced over at the meditating Kairi. He saw how happy she looked, and he just continued to stare. "What is she doing?" he said to himself.

"Oh, she's mediating," said Selphie from behind. "Kairi usually does that to relax."

"I guessed that," said Sora. "But why does she have that look on her face? I never saw her like this before."

Selphie giggled. "It's 'cause she's in her happy place."

Sora raised an eyebrow at the hyper active child. "Happy place?"

She nodded. "That's right. In Kairi's happy place, she's content with the guy she's in love with."

Sora's heart skipped a beat. "Kairi likes someone?

"Yep," Selphie nodded. "You would never believe who."

Sora felt his face turn hot, very hot. "I-I-It's s-someone I k-k-know?" the boy stuttered.

"Well, you should know who it is. You are dressed as him."

Sora looked down akwardly at his clothing. Brown shoes, grayish blue pants, black and white collared shirt..who could that be?

"You silly buns," Selphie exclaimed. "She's in love with Niwa from Riri's house!"

"Niwa?" he said rather loudly. "But he's animated! He's not real!"

"I know," Selphie said in a quiet tone as she began to walk away. "But you can't help who you fall for."

Sora waited until Selphie was away from his hearing range. He glanced over at the meditating Kairi once more and looked at his feet. His face remained the same, but his eyes went sad. "Yeah...you can't help who you fall for."

"Five minutes until show time!" said a voice booming over the microphone speakers. "Five minutes!"

Kairi stood up, now relaxed completely, and walked over to Selphie. "Ready?"

"Ready!" she said as they did there secret hand shake.

"Let the randomness be with you Selphie!" Kairi giggled.

"And let the randomness also be with you!"

Over on the other side of the room...Sora walked over to his sister. "You nervous?"

Aerith smiled. "Kind of, but not that much."

Sora smiled back and nodded. "Good. I'm going to go get the material for the opening scene."

"Okay, you go do that."

The loud voice boomed over the speakers once more. "Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, put your hands together for our cosplayers!" The audience cheered and w00ted (which was actually needed). "Let me briefly go over the rules of the contest. Cosplayers must make their own costume from any anime, manga, or anything referring to Japanese culture. This means no power puff girls, or anything like that. You can either walk on, preform a short play, or sing a song. Good luck!"

"Oh gosh, I'm nervous again," said the shaking Kairi. "I can't do this."

"You can do this! You're an awesome actress, and your costume looks awesome." Selphie comforted Kairi. "Your going to be great!"

Kairi looked down at the floor and nodded.

"Now," said the booming voice. "First up we have the walk ons!" The crowd cheered as the curtain opened, and the people without a song or skit walked out. A few moments later, the walk on cosplayers came back stage and the curtain once again closed. "And now, we have the skits! First up, we have a comedy duo...put your hands together for NIWA AND HIJIKI FROM RIRI'S HOUSE!"

The fans cheered as Aerith walked on stage, hair fully dyed purple. "Welcome fans, I am Hijiki!"

Selphie stared from the corner of her eye at the stage. "Where's Sora?"

Kairi was staring at the celing. She wasn't paying attention. "Huh?"

"Never mind..."

Aerith waited for the clapping and cheering to die down. "Let's see if we can do this again without the huge clapping and obnoxious cheering...Hi everyone! My name is Hijiki from Riri's house!" The fans didn't bother to listen, as they continued to clap, laugh, and cheer. This caused Aerith to create a sweat drop. "I guess I was wrong. I'm just way too good looking for people not to cheer and clap!"

Then, all of a sudden, Sora came out on stage. He was wearing a fake purple wig, a mini skirt over his pants, and he stuffed balloons in his shirt. "Hi everyone," he said in a high pitched tone. "My name is Hijiki. I think I'm sexy, but I'm really not. I think my brother Niwa is way better looking than I, Hijiki! Only thing guys like about me is my overly huge drawn boobsicles!"

"Baka!" Aerith yelled in character, taking a needle from her pocket and popping the balloons in Sora's shirt.

"Aww.." pouted Sora (as Niwa) as he took off his purple wig. "But they looked so good on me!"

"Whatever," Aerith said, rolling her eyes. "Anyways, we are going to show you what we do on the set of Riri's house!" Sora pulled up two chairs, and faced them towards the audience. Aerith sat in one, and Sora sat in the other. They sat in silence for awhile as the audience stared at them and wondered what they were doing.

"Which, as you might have guessed, is nothing," said Sora.

"You baka!" Aerith yelled at Sora. "Take off your skirt."

"Sheesh," he said, following the orders. "You think just once I could cross dress, but noooooo!"

"My gosh Niwa, stop hogging the spot light. I'm the star here!"

"Boobs?!" Sora said, perking up.

Aerith pulled out a frying pan and held it over her head. "I didn't even say anything close to boobs you moron!"

"Why must you insult me?" Sora pouted. "You know you want me."

Kairi perked up from back stage. "That voice is familiar."

"Yeah, no duh Kairi. It's Sora," laughed Selphie quietly.

"Oh, him. I thought it was someone else."

"Baka!" Aerith yelled once more "We're brother and sister!"

"As far as the audience knows," smiled Sora.

Aerith hit Sora on top of the head with the frying pan and dragged the body off stage. She came back on stage and smiled to the audience like nothing happened. "Well, that's all the time we have for tonight! Good night folks!" She walked off stage and blew a random guy in the audience a kiss. Then, the curtain closed.

Selphie jumped up and down and hugged both Aerith and Sora. "That was amazing! It was so funny, just like Riri's house! How did you do it?"

"Improvise," smiled Sora.

"On next," said the booming voice. "Is another duo! Yuffie and Leon folks!"

The curtain opened and Kairi set a chair out and sat in it. Then, Selphie came up to the microphone. "My name is Squall, but I rather to be called Leon. If you call me Squall, then I'll stab you with my gunblade."

"What's a gun blade anyways?" asked Kairi.

"It's a gun with a blade I guess," shrugged Selphie.

"Anyways, I'm Yuffie! I am a fun good looking teen!" exclaimed Kairi, making a peace sign.

"I don't think thoughs are the words to describe you," Selphie muttered under her breath. "Like we were saying.."

"Or were about to say,"

Selphie shot a fake anger look at Kairi. "We're going to tell and show you how we met and became the next Sunny and...Sunny and...well, whoever that two hundred year old lady who changes her hair way too much's name is."

"Right," Kairi said, standing up and taking her place at the microphone as Selphie sat in the chair she was sitting in. "One day, I was at a party."

"Yes," said Selphie from the chair. "And Yuffie was a good girl and said 'I'm not going to drink anything!'"

Kairi continued to smile at the audience as she reached over to strangle Selphie. Of course, Selphie moved the chair and caused Kairi to fall over.

Aerith laughed as she watched from back stage. "This is funny!"

"Anyways," said Kairi (as Yuffie), standing up. "As Yuffie continued to dance and not drink at the party, a shaded figure in the corner was staring at her."

"Wow!" exclaimed Selphie. "I'm a shaded figure in the corner of this party, staring at a random girl. Am I a sixty year old man pervert? And why am I sitting in the corner and not dancing or not drinking. Am I a loser?"

"My goodness!" said Kairi, interrupting Selphie. "That man is staring at me..I know! We should start a rock slash pop duo singing group together!"

Selphie stood up and walked over to Kairi. "Hi, my name is Leon, not Squall."

"Hi Squall!" Kairi waved.

"LEON! MY NAME IS LEON!" yelled Selphie.

"Sure, whatever you say Squall."

Selphie breathed angrily. "Like I was saying...Do you want to start a rock slash pop duo singing group with a random stranger..AKA Leon?"

Kairi scratched her chin. "I don't know anyone named Leon, but how about I start one with you Squall?!"

Selphie smacked her head and forced a smile. "Sure, why not."

"And that is how Leon and Yuffie became the famous group called...ahhhhhh," Kairi thought for a moment. "What are we called?"

"We are called Squffie!" exclaimed Selphie.

"Squffie? What does that stand for?"

"...Squall and Yuffie."

"Ha!" yelled Kairi. "So you name IS Squall!"

"I'm going to go," said Selphie, walking back stage.

"Wait up!" Kairi said, running after Selphie as the curtains closed. They could hear the audience cheer and clap from behind the velvet red drapes.

Aerith walked up to Selphie and Kairi and hugged them both. "That was wonderful!"

Kairi giggled a bit and hugged Aerith back. "Thank you! We made it up at the last minute."

Sora smirked from behind Aerith and said "Oh, so you guys are procastinators?"

"For your information, we were going to sing a song, but we lost the CD," Kairi barked at Sora.

"Right, I bet you just realized you can't sing and came up with this," smiled Sora.

"Why you little," Kairi threatened.

"Let's not argue tonight, okay?" said Aerith. "I'm getting a head ache."

"They won't announce the winners until tomorrow, so let us go back to the hotel room," suggested Selphie.

"Alright," agreed Aerith.

"Fine with me," said Kairi.

"Whatever they said," Sora said.

So they all walked together out the door from the back stage and made their way to the elevator. Aerith, being the oldest and tallest, pushed the button to go up. The elevator soon came, and they all walked inside when they heard a voice from behind yelling..

"Wait for me!"

They all turned around as saw a tall boy with silver hair dressed in a purple top and baise pants. "Oh, it's just Riku," Sora said with no emotion, pushing the hold button inside the elevator.

Riku caught up and jumped inside the elevator. "Thanks Sora."

Selphie gleamed up at the silver hair teen with aqua eyes. "You know him Sora?"

"Yep," Sora said cheerfully. "We met at a convention a few years back. So, how did you like our skit?"

"It was awesome, you guys did really good. I couldn't stop laughing!"

Selphie moved a bit closer to Riku. "What about our skit?"

Riku shrugged and scooted away from the sugar high girl. "Same comments." Selphie smiled up at him.

"So," Kairi said, observing Riku's outfit. "What are you cosplaying as?"

"That one girl from Love Hina, Kitsune," he stated.

Kairi coughed and said under her breath, "Number One Rule of cosplay, cross dressers will freak the audience out, so don't do it."

The elevator stopped at the fourth floor. "This is my stop," Riku said, saying his final parting words. "See you later Sora!" he yelled as he walked off the elevator.

"See you!" Sora called back. The elevator doors closed.

"So, is that your boyfriend?" Kairi smirked. It was her time for pay back.

"I'm not gay!" exclaimed Sora.

"Is Riku gay?" Selphie asked.

"Why do you ask?" asked Aerith.

"Because, Riku is one hundred percent Japanese hunk beef!" Selphie drooled.

Sora laughed at Selphie's behavior towards the aqua blue eyed Riku. "To my knowledge, no he is not gay."

Selphie smiled. "Oh, okay!"

The elevator stopped and the four room mates got off. They started walking towards their room when Kairi stopped. "I'm going to walk around and check things out in the dealer ship room. I want to get there before it closes for the night!"

Aerith nodded. "Alright, I'll keep the room open. Don't be out too late!"

Kairi waved and ran off. "I won't!"

So, the remaining three walked into the room. Selphie took her place on her bed and turned on the television. Aerith took her place on her bed and closed her eyes. "Sora, you take a shower first. I'm going to work on the project."

"Project?" Selphie asked in curiosity.

"Yep, it's top secret though," smiled Aerith as she pulled out a note book and a pencil.

"Okay," Selphie said in disappointment.

Sora stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He unbuttoned his shirt and let it slide off his body onto the floor (same with his pants). He waited until the water was just right, and he stepped in.

Sora had always loved the water, ever since he was a little kid. Before his dad died, they both used to go to the lake and swim. Sora's dad would always be the evil snake, and Sora would be the heroic water fox. But thoughs fun times were over...How would you describe water? It's like being in your own world, yet being in the water world at the same time. It's a place where you can be yourself, and be a different person at the same moment.

But if you were planning to take a short shower, day dreaming wasn't an option. So, Sora shook his head and put the provided shampoo in his hair. The red dye had already washed off. Just as all the shampoo had gone away from his head, Sora reached for the soap...only to realize it wasn't there.

"Arg!" Sora screamed as he turned off the shower and put a towe around his waist. He opened the bathroom door and walked out to the two brown hair beautys. "Who took the soap?!"

Selphie shrugged. "I think Kairi used the soap to clean off her sneakers."

Aerith glanced over at Sora. "Would you mind getting dressed? There are virgin eyes in here."

Sora smirked at his sister. "Alright," he said, letting the tower slip from his grasp.

"IN THE BATHROOM!" Selphie and Aerith yelled together.

Sora laughed and walked back into the shower. He dried off and got dressed, then walked back into the room. "Better?" Aerith nodded. "Alright, where is Kairi?" Sora asked. "Is she hiding?"

Selphie looked around the room. "She isn't here."

"Come to think of it," said Aerith, "She hasn't come back. Sora, would you mind going to look for her?"

Sora groaned and walked towards the door. "Fine, I guess I will. I can give her a piece of my mind."

Selphie gasped. "If you do that, then you'll die! You can live without your brain!"

Sora shook his head and walked out the door. "She said she was in the dealer ship room, that's on the second floor." So Sora walked towards the elevator and got in. It lead him to the second floor. But when he went to the room, there was a sign that said it was closed. "Great," he muttered to himself. "Now what am I going to do?"

Suddenly, Sora heard a voice that belonged to a girl. It was singing a forgien tune, and it was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He was memorized by it, no, hypnotized. It was like a vixen or siren, and with every word she sung, he took a foot step closer to the voice. Sora soon found himself in the hotel lobby, where he saw a girl dressed in a green top and jean shorts sitting on the edge of the fountain. She continued to sing, not noticing he was there. The purple night sky casted a mysterious glow upon her, which only made Sora come closer.

"Deteakure, Deteakure. Watashi achi no. Negaingo tomo, sono kolo aho. Hitubosu aba. Kame hu, Kame yo," she sang. Her voice rang like ten thousand bells, but yet, it was quiet enough so a mouse can listen and not have his ears hurt.

Sora blinked and realized who the girl was. He clapped. "Bravo Kairi."

Kairi turned around and blushed. She wasn't expecting someone to listen. "Oh um...hey Sora."

"I didn't know you could actually sing," Sora laughed.

Kairi's anger level started to boil. "I guess I'll let that pass."

"So," Sora said, sitting next to Kairi on the fountain. "What was that song about?"

Kairi shrugged. "Something about a magical turtle. My granny used to sing it to me when I was little. She said that whenever I was sad or angry, that song would always cheer me up. I don't know what the words mean, but it's just the mood of the song."

Sora stared at her for a moment. "Sounds lame."

"What do you know?" Kairi yelled angrily.

"Sorry," Sora said. "Just ignore it and come back to the room."

Kairi shrugged. "Okay, I guess I'll come back."

Sora smiled as he and Kairi started walking towards the elevator. "Good. Oh yes, by the way, you stole the soap."

Kairi blinked and looked at Sora with a confused look on her face. "The....soap?"

Sora shook his head as they both walked on the elevator. "Nothing, forget it." They both leaned against the elevator wall as it went up to the fifth floor. But soon, Sora broke the silence by saying, "Hey Kairi?"

"Yes?"

"During your skit...

"Uh-huh?"

"...it was snowing in Brazil."

Kairi blinked and looked at Sora. "Snowing in Brazil?"

"Yes," Sora said, putting on a fake coughing act. "It means your....erm....bra was showing."

Kairi's anger level went up again. "And why were you looking at Brazil in the first place?"

Sora's face went a little red. "Ahh...."

The elevator door opened and Kairi yelled, "YOU PERVERT!"

Sora took off in the direction of the hotel room. "I can't believe I have to live with her for six more days!"

"I can't believe your talking out loud!" Kairi yelled, chasing Sora and shaking her fist in the air.

'Things to do this week...' thought Sora.

'Things I hate about Sora,' Kairi though.

'First off, he's annoying.'

'Number one, Pick on Kairi.'

'Also, he's perverted.'

'Number two, Tease Kairi.'

'And last, he always makes fun of me! He is so mean!'

'And number three,' thought Sora as he opened the hotel room door and shut it behind him so Kairi couldn't get him, 'Get Kairi to notice me.'
