Cloud: Does that mean I actually have a role in one of your fan fics?
Lili: Yes it does!
Cloud: What about Riku?
Lili: He's tied up in my closet...I mean n.n; He's a cross dressing freak in this fan fic.
Cloud: Why can't I be the cross dressing freak!
Lili: ...I think your fans would stab me with pointy sticks if I did that.
Cloud:That would explain a lot...like why girls glomp me all the time.
Lili: Yeah whatever..:glares at Cloud:

Authors Note: Why must mess up my text? I mean my gosh! I make sure my text is wonderfully perfect..AND THEY GO AN SCREW IT UP! Let me correct a few errors that made while inputting the last chapter. (im just skimming over the chapters now but I'm sure theres more than this:)
-Lilisama will get stabbed by the staff- That's supposed to be Lilisama will get stabbed by the staff.
-"Neer heard of it"- WHAT THE CRAP! That's supposed to be "NEVER heard of it" ...bastards
and I swear there was more...but I can't find any by just scanning over them. Oh yeah, as always :D Thank you for the reviews! I'm sorry for the lateness of this chapter. First I was sick...and then I was trying to finish 'When You Walk Away' then I went to a Theatre Festival (where I had a creepy stalker and this hot guy became my friend... . ya). Now I can get on with the juicy goodness of this story! (ill talk more about the festival at the end of this chapter)
Oh yes, about the convention part of this story. Usually conventions are 3 days long, not 7. And there events like every waking moment. You wouldn't usually just sit in your room watching anime...but the romance side of the story is better if I did it this way. OH YEAH! I'm getting a new puppy! Her name is Lexi and she's kawaii!
Chapter 7
Day 6: Squffie Concert
Kairi was sitting on the bath room sinking with her diary in her lap. She glanced over at the running bath water and let out an angry sigh. Then she began writing furiously in her diary.
Dear Diary,
Yesterday was bizarre. First this girl called and Sora was like "Oh no I don't want to talk to her!" Whatever that's about. But that wasn't the strange thing! The weird thing was that I thought I was falling for Sora (E triple W!)! WRONG! For the DDR tournament, I lost and so Sora said that I had to spend the entire day with him! Who knows whats going on there. The point is that I don't have any feelings for him (except utter hate).
Love Always,
Kairi
She closed her diary and slammed it on the counter. "Luckily he's letting me in the bathroom alone. This will probably be the only time today I have some peace and quiet!"
Kairi jumped down from the sink's counter and started to strip herself of her clothes. She turned off the running bath water and slowly sank into the perfectly warm and calm water. The girl had began her morning bath. "It's hard not to think about Sora," Kairi thought to herself. "He's really one of a kind. He's weird and childish but it seems like he's hiding something. Behind thoughs teasing eyes is a really kind person..I can feel it."
Kairi splashed herself in the face. "Who cares!" she yelled. "It doesn't matter what he wants to be...it matters who he is!" She grabbed the soap and began to lather the lavender smelling bubbles across her light and soft skin. Then she took her mango scented shampoo and scrubbed it into her soft auburn hair. After a few minutes, she drained the tub and wrapped a towel around her body (covering up any naughty parts). She rubbed the steamed mirror so she could see her reflection.
She grinned from ear to ear. "I have to look absolutely perfect for the concert tonight!" she squealed. "I still can't believe they booked Squffie! There so famous!" Kairi shook her head out of her dreams and reached for her clothes.
"Oh no..." Kairi groaned. "SELPHIE!" she yelled. "Is Sora out of the room?"
"Yeah," came her muffled cries from the hotel room. "He got tired of waiting for you so he went to breakfast."
Kairi, knowing she was safe, barged out of the bathroom. "I left my clothes on the bed."
"Better hurry up then," smiled Selphie, who was busy looking at what Riri's House episode she wanted to watch next. "Sora's gonna return soon."
"Yes," Aerith said gleefully. "And I'm not sure how he'd react to the way your dressed."
"Right," Kairi said as she grabbed her clothes. "I'll go change then."
Just in case Sora was about to barge in (like they always do in these type of fan fics), Kairi ran into the bathroom and shut the door. She examined the outfit she was planning to wear for that day (not for the concert). It was a nice purple jacket, white tank top, and jeans. Pretty simple. Of course Kairi didn't like the whole brand name thing anyways. That was just the kind of person she was.
She quickly came out after dressing and displayed her outfit.
"Very cute," commented Aerith.
"Aww!" wailed Selphie. "My Kairi looks so adorable."
"Sexy," wooted Sora from the corner. It was obvious that he came in and no one told her. Kairi became a little bit irratated. "The exact thing I would want someone hanging out with me to wear."
Kairi grinned cunningly. "I'll go change then."
"Sheesh Kairi," Sora smiled sweetly at her. "I was joking. You look good and not in the 'I'm pervert so lets have sex' kind of way."
Kairi raised an eye brow at Sora's attempt at being nice. "Thank you?"
"Your welcome!" He grinned.
"This is so cute," whispered Selphie to Aerith. "The two love birds are having a moment!"
"Love birds?" asked Kairi with a yelling anger.
Aerith nodded. "You two would make a lovely couple!"
"In his dreams!" Kairi pointed out.
Sora looked shocked and he gasped. "How do you know about thoughs?"
"Let's watch Riri's house!" Selphie said out of the blue.
"That sounds enjoyable," smiled Aerith. "A little breakfast at the TV show!"
"I thought it was dinner at the movies," smirked Sora, knowing he was right.
"Let's just start the episode," Kairi said as she plopped down on the bed in between Aerith and Selphie. Sora, being the only one still standing, sighed and plopped the DVD in.
"Welcome to yet another episode of Riri's House!" cried the ever so energetic Hijiki. "As you know my name is Hijiki!"
"They know!" cried Niwa. "They know this is Riri's House and they know your name is Hijiki! Stop with the introductions."
"Stop being so negative Niwa!" said his sister with a smile on her face.
"That one guy asked you out, didn't he?" asked Niwa.
"Yes!" she screamed happily. "His name is-"
"We can't name anyones real names in order to keep our real IDs!" Niwa whispered.
"So the characters on Riri's House," Selphie said. "Are talking about their real lives?"
"Seems so," added Aerith.
"Right," Hijiki said nervously as a sweat drop formed. "His name is...ahh...Sky!"
"Better then his real name," muttered Niwa.
"So how is your girl friend Niwa?" smiled Hijiki.
Niwa sighed and sat down on a bus bench. "Don't ask."
"If you don't like her then why don't you break up with her?" Hijiki asked her brother as she sat down next to him.
"I don't want to hurt her feelings," he admitted. "She really likes me..."
"Wow this is getting way too serious!" Hijiki exclaimed. "Back to the random! Today on our show we have...a random drunk man!"
The sound effect of clapping could be heard along with the entrance of a man. He was wearing a red dress cloak thing with a sword over his shoulder. On his side was a giant bottle, which probably contained beer. He had greyish black short spiked hair and he wore sun glasses, giving him a mysterious effect.
"So hello!" Hijiki smiled. "What's your name?"
"Auron," grunted the man.
"That's hot," screamed a random fan girl kitty cosplayer from the audience.
"What do you do for fun?" Niwa asked.
"I don't know," he answered.
"..You suck! GET OFF OUR SHOW!" Hijiki yelled as she punched him off stage (Naru style!)
"...Let's just end the episode there," Niwa laughed as he held up a 'THE END' sign.
"That was interesting," Selphie said as she gave out a real laugh.Kairi sat in her seat and frowned a bit. Selphie (of course) saw this and smiled to cheer her up. "What's wrong Kairi?"
Kairi continued to frown. "The characters are talking about their real lives on the show."
"So?" asked Selphie.
"So," added Kairi with her frown on her face. It was so solid that it looked like someone had painted it on there. "That means Niwa really has a girl friend."
Sora smiled, also trying to cheer her up. "Yes but as you heard, he doesn't want to be with her. I bet he'd want to be with someone like you!"
Kairi raised a eyebrow and pouted. "How would you know?"
"I'm just guessing!" he stuttered.
"It's not like I could be with someone that famous anyways," Kairi said with a fake happy look forming on her face. "Maybe it's good that he is with someone." A tear formed on her face without her knowledge. "Oh look at me. I'm crying! This is really pathetic."
"Your really upset," Aerith asked. "Aren't you?"
"No!" she exclaimed. "Who gives a damn about a celebrity? It's just wishful thinking that I could ever be with him!"
"That's the spirit!" Selphie exclaimed. "I think.."
"Let's just ignore everything I said and have a happy time today!" Kairi smiled. "So, Selphie, who won the bet during the Dance Dance Revolution thing. You or Riku?"
Selphie smiled a huge smile. "I did of course!"
Knowing the next part would be good, Kairi scooted closer towards Selphie. "What did you bet him?"
Selphie smiled and said, "That if I won that he would slow dance with me tonight!"
Kairi looked sad for a brief moment and then exclaimed, "That's awesome!"
All of a sudden and out of the blue, there was a knock on the hotel door. Everyone got up from their conversations and turn their heads towards it. "Hello," said the voice on the other side of the door. "Is Sora in there?"
Sora's eyes went wide and he began to hide behind Aerith. "No! You have the wrong room."
"Oh shush now," Aerith said. "Yes Sora is in here."
"Really?" exclaimed the voice from behind the door. "Can I come in and see him?"
Kairi turned around and saw Sora's face. It looked like a puppy dog that was about to get a bath. Knowing this Kairi assumed that it was the girl she talked to on the phone yesterday. She wanted to find out more about why he didn't want to talk to her. "Sure you can!" Kairi said as she walked towards the door. She took one last glance at Sora, who was shaking his head at her, basically begging her to turn around. But she just smiled and opened the door.
There stood a girl in a white dress. She had long blonde sandy hair and a lovely smile to go with it. If you saw the girl on the streets, you'd swear she was a model. Her lips were a shade of peach pink and her eyes were mysteriously blue. The girl smiled at Kairi. "I'm Namine."
"I'm Kairi," Kairi greeted as she held out her hand. "Sora is over there behind his sister."
Namine shook Kairi's hand and ran towards Sora. Once she got there she gave him a big hug. "I missed you so much Sora! You said you were going to Junchi-con not this one!"
"Really?" asked Sora innocently. "That's not what I remember."
"Oh who cares!" Namine exclaimed as she hugged Sora tighter.
Selphie raised her eyebrow at the two. "What, are you his girlfriend or something?"
Namine smiled up at Selphie, still holding a grip on Sora. "Yep! My name is Namine!"
"You mentioned that," mumbled Kairi.
"You look familiar," Selphie said as she examined Namine's face. "What school do you go to?"
"Destiny Island Junior High!" she exclaimed. "Why?"
Selphie looked happy and shocked at the same time. "That's where we go!"
"We?" asked Namine.
"Yeah!" Selphie happily put. "Me and Kairi go to D.I.J.H! Kairi's the president of class 2!"
"Wow! I didn't recognize you!" Namine exclaimed. "I'm in class 6!"
"It's super that you know each other," cried the muffle voice of Sora. "But will you get off me Namine?"
Namine nodded and did as she was told. "Sure!"
"Are you staying in a separate hotel room?" asked Sora.
"Of course! I would never violate you!" Namine confirmed.
"That's not what I meant," pouted Sora.
"This is fun," Kairi said as she sat back and watched the scene.
"Okay Sora, we have to hang out all day!" Namine said as she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket. "I have the day planned."
"Sorry Namine," Sora said. "Today I said I'd hang out with Kairi."
"She can hang out with us," smiled Kairi. Then she thought to herself, 'That way I can find out more about these two.'
"Let's just check the downstairs of the convention until the concert!" Namine suggested.
"Sounds good," Kairi exclaimed.
"I guess..." pouted Sora.
"So let's go!" Namine exclaimed as she pulled the two out the door.
The room was hot, and smelly, and was fun of crazed anime fans. The cosplayers ranged from Sailor Moon to Final Fantasy. In the middle of the room contained a large circle of slutty girls that held signs up that said "Glomp Me."
"Oh!" Namine exclaimed as she ran towards the group. "I'm going to glomp them all!"
Once Namine left, Sora turned towards Kairi and asked her a question she didn't honestly suspect. "Why do you like Niwa so much?"
Kairi raised an eyebrow. 'That was out of the blue,' she thought to herself. She opened her mouth and said, "It's none of your buisiness."
"That's fair," he answered. "But what if, hypothetically, Niwa liked you?"
Kairi sighed at the stupidness of Sora's question. "One he's animated and two he has a girl friend," Kairi answered.
"I mean Niwa's voice and you heard that he doesn't like his girl friend," Sora convinced her.
Kairi paused a moment and looked at Namine glomping random fan girls. "Well I don't like living in the world of 'what ifs' but I'd be very happy."
The two sat in silence for awhile as they leaned against a wall. Time seemed to slow down and all noise disappeared. It was like a moment in a movie where the background dissolved and only they remained in the frame. "Kairi, I have something to tell you..."
Kairi nodded. "What is it?"
Sora started to blush and say, "Kairi I..."
"HI SORA! HI KAIRI!" Namine interrupted as she glomped Sora. "Let's go to the viewing room! I heard this cute anime about this duck is showing."
"Okay," sighed Sora.
"Piggy back ride!" screamed Namine as she climbed on Sora's back and they headed down the hall.
"Note to self," Kairi said as she lagged behind the two. "The relationship seems rocky. Namines hyperness seems to over power Sora's...Sora-ness."
In a few minutes they were seated in a dark room similar to a movie theater. The screen was showing a cute girl in a yellow dress with brown hair. She sort of resembled Selphie. At the moment she was in a ball room dancing to classical music. The room was bright with sun shine and the room glowed like crystals.
"May I dance with you?" asked a boy behind her. His eyes were dark and mysterious unlike his appearance. He was dressed in a nice dress shirt fit for a prince and white dress pants. His hair was snow white but that didn't minus the fact that the girl thought he was very handsome. Being very shy though, all she did was nod.
"This is so cute!" exclaimed Namine with a whisper.
"Seems lame to me," yawned Sora.
"I agree," said Kairi.
So the two danced to the classical music. But to interrupt the dance, the fire alarm went off and the over head sprinklers. The girl gasped and quickly left the room. "Wait!" The boy yelled after her. He ran after her but all he found was a little yellow duck. Then the ending theme music played for the show.
"That was so adorable!" Namine squealed.
"More like stupid," Sora and Kairi grumbled in unision.
"That's enough for me for today," smile Namine as she took Sora's hand and ran off. "Let's go upstairs and get ready for the concert!"
"That Namine..." Kairi mumbled as she ran off after them.
"How about this outfit?" giggled Selphie as she walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing a yellow mini skirt with a matching long sleeved shirt.
"Really bright! People will concentrate on your outfit more then you!" Namine laughed as she covered her eyes. This lovely lady was currently in a white t-shirt with slits in the sleeves. It was white with the nine of hearts printed on it. She was also wearing pink jeans to match.
"The outfit is okay," Sora commented.
"It's you," mumbled Kairi.
"I'll change," exclaimed Selphie as she walked back into the bathroom.
"We're going to be here forever," grumbled Sora. He wasn't in anything fancy. He was only wearing a black and white collared shirt with jeans.
"Tell me about it," Kairi grumbled along. Her outfit was most unique of them all. She was wearing black boots and a black frilly skirt. To go along with it she wore a purple tank top. Her accessories contained hooped silver earrings along with fishnet gloves and purple stockings. Of course it was a concert they were going to. It was suspected to dress like this.
"How about this one?" Selphie asked as she once again walked out of the bathroom. The hyper girl was now wearing plain jeans along with a vintage yellow top with beads outlining the edges. Her hair was up in pigtails and she was wearing a yellow and white striped beanie on top of her brunette hair.
"Perfect," Kairi clapped.
"Sexy," coughed Sora.
"Needs something," Namine mumbled as she grabbed a necklace from her pocket. She gently wrapped it around Selphie's neck. It had a golden chain and a golden heart charm at the end with a single white stone in the middle. "Not it's done!"
"Good!" Selphie exclaimed as she sat down on the bed with a tired sigh. "I have to look awesome for Riku tonight."
"Oh gosh. Girl talk," Sora grumbled. "I'll leave the room until your ready to leave."
"We won't be long!" smiled Namine as she glomped Sora. "Besides, you can't go away! Your way too cute for that!"
Kairi sighed and stood up. "Everyone has someone," she mumbled. "Yet all I have is an imagination."
"What was that?" Namine asked.
"Nothing!" Kairi exclaimed. "Let's go on down to the concert."
The room was dark and full of people dressed funny. Lights were flashing all around in many colors and everyone was dancing to the live music.
"In my head," sang Yuffie while playing a green guitar.
"Your annoying as hell," sang Leon while playing red drums.
"But in my heart," they both sang together. "I'll always love you."
The song finished and the fans jumped up and down clapping their hands. Yuffie and Leon posed for a few seconds and then Yuffie took the microphone from the stand and held it in her hands. "Hello you wonderful fans! I'm Yuffie and this is Leon! We are Squffie!" More cheering and clapping could be heard. "Thank you, thank you. That was 'one eyed love'! Do we have any request for our next song?"
"Mission Control!" yelled a random fan from the mosh pit.
"Don't move!" yelled another random fan from the audience.
"Take me to level 3!" yelled Namine with her hyper attitude. (A/N: These titles are just random things I heard on TV. And these lyrics are random thoughts that come into my head.)
"Did I hear 'Take me to level 3?'" smiled Yuffie. "Well lets go with that one!"
"Don't cry near me," Yuffie sang as she strummed her shimmery guitar.
"Feel what I'm feeling," Leon sang as he softly beat his guitar.
"Don't try to understand," Yuffie sang as the music became more intense.
"Parents today don't give a damn," they sang together as the music reached its climax.
"This is so cool!" squealed Kairi as she danced a bit. "Never did I think I'd be in a Squffie concert!"
"I know!" Selphie happily cried as she jumped up and down.
"Level one is for the happy folks in the land of perfect," Yuffie screamed in the microphone.
"Level two is for thoughs who steal attention with a smirk," Leon screamed.
"Take me to Level 3 for people just like me!" sang the audience along with Squffie.
The song shortly ended and the fans cheered once more. Yuffie began to talk on the microphone again, taking request.
"They should play 'Steam'," Riku suggested to himself. "That is the perfect fast dance song."
"Oh I agree!" exclaimed Kairi. Riku, Kairi, Sora, Namine, and Selphie were all in a tightly packed group listening and rocking out to the music that played.
"They should play a slow song," winked Selphie to Riku. No one noticed but Kairi once again formed a sad face at the mention of these words.
"That'd be cool," Riku commented, completely ignoring Selphies affection.
"I personally like the song 'Lady Bug'! It's so catchy!" Namine exclaimed.
"Yes," agreed Sora. "But the lyrics are so pointless."
"Yeah!" Kairi exclaimed. "They only say 'Fly me away on a magic carpet ride and maybe I'll fall asleep in your arms'. It's pretty cheesy."
"I like cheese!" exclaimed Selphie and Namine together.
Kairi blinked and looked at the two. "It's strange how-"
"-alike they are," finished Sora.
The song that was playing while they were talking finished. "And now to finish off tonights concert," Yuffie exclaimed. "Were going to play a slow song for the love birds out there! Give it up for 'That One Moment!'" The music that was playing turned very soft and a couple of people grouped up to dance.
Selphie glomped Riku and wrapped her arms around him. "Dance with me!"
"Okay," smiled Riku as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Kairi tried her hardest to smile though her heart was eating her alive. Without telling anything, she ran from the room and into the halls to be alone.
Namine noticed. "Kairi's sad, I can tell. She just ran from the room."
"..." said Sora
"Oh!" exclaimed Namine. "You can go in the hall and dance with her. That would cheer me up!"
Sora smiled. "Anything would cheer you up."
"I know it would!" she exclaimed once more. The blonde beauty pushed Sora in the direction of the door. "Go dance with her!"
So there Sora was roaming the halls while he could be dancing inside. But of course he didn't want to slow dance with anyone in that room. The person he wanted to dance with...
Sora turned around at the sound of someone crying. There leaving against the wall was Kairi. Her face was red and her eyes were full of tears. Sora was utterly shocked. He crept up and put his hand on her soft shoulder.
"What's wrong?" he asked gently.
"Go away," Kairi mumbled.
Sora smiled his Sexy Seductive Cheerful Sora Smile 2000 ™. "Not until you tell me what's wrong."
"...I hate this song," she muttered.
Sora formed a sweat drop. "That's it?"
"No!" she screamed with tears screaming down her face. "I hate this song! I hate every slow song possible! They are all evil!"
Sora gave Kairi a sympathic look and a quick hug to follow. "Tell me what happened."
Kairi didn't know why Sora was so comforting. She didn't even know why she was enjoying that moment. She didn't understand why he was cheering her up or why it was working. All she did was let herself slip away in that one hug while she cried into Sora's chest.
"Kairi?" Sora asked.
"My dad," Kairi answered slowly. "My dad died a few years back in that one war. The last time I saw him was..."
"Was?" Sora asked once more.
"During a slow dance in the 'Goodbye' father-daughter dance they had," she cried. "Do you know how painful it is to have your last moments with someone you love to be so hurtful?"
Sora didn't answer for awhile. "No," he said. "I don't. But I can imagine how hard it is."
The tears gradually stopped flowing so hard but they kept on coming. Kairi wrapped her arms around Sora and continued to cry into his chest. She could imagine how wet his shirt was by now. "It is hard, very hard."
So there the two stood, arms linked around each others bodies, listening to the slow music play softly in the background. It wasn't exactly a happy moment, but it was a magical moment all and all.
Authors Note: Hurray! First I'll talk about the festival. I had this really creepy british stalker and these two hot guys CJ and Jake were awesome became my friends and junk (along with this skater guy and a cool little asian dude named squeeky).
