CHAPTER 19
VIVA LAS VEGAS: (DAY 4) Say Cheese!
(Started: September 22nd Ended: October 20th)
"Dear Diary,
I'm scared. Ubberly scared. Majorly ubberly scared! Yay ..I know...that's' really scared. Why am I scarred? I saw Sora two times this morning. Why is this weird you ask? Because I just woke up five minutes ago. I don't know what to say to him! "Hey Kairi! Good Morning!" "I LOVE YOU!" Won't work! What am I supposed to do? Do I get flowers? No ...that's the guys job. Maybe I can-"
"Hey Kairi!" Cloud exclaimed rather loudly. Kairi stumbled back at the surprise entrance. He sat on the edge of her bed and gave her his biggest smile. "Did you confess your love for-"
"SHHH!" Kairi hushed him. She put her finger over her mouth and used her other hand to cover Cloud's mouth. "Don't say it out loud!"
"Fine," Cloud laughed. He crawled a little closer to her and crossed his legs Indian style. "Guess what happened to me this morning?"
"Oooh what?" asked the interested red head as she crawled out of her covers to reveal her pajamas.
"I said 'Good Morning' to Aerith..."
"And?" Kairi smiled as the two began to gossip.
"She said good morning back!" Cloud exclaimed with his boyish smile.
"No way!" gasped Kairi.
"Yes way!" Cloud smile as he fell back on her bed. He lifted up his head and eyed her diary curiously. "Watcha writing'?"
"Nothing," Kairi said dully as she attempted to hide her diary.
"Yes it is!" he exclaimed as he quickly grabbed the book. He turned to the book marked page, the page of which she was writing on, and started reading. "Hmm...you've never done something like this before, have you?" Kairi shook her head and stared embarrassingly at her lap. Cloud smiled as if he were her older brother and rubbed his hand through her hair. "Poor, poor Kairi," he laughed sympathetically.
"I knew it," hummed a familiar voice from the doorway. "I knew you didn't like Kairi." Kairi and Cloud turned around to see the gothic girl known as Lulu smirking at them at the doorway.
"How long have you been listening in?" Cloud gulped as a light shade of pink rose in his cheeks.
"As soon as Kairi shushed Cloud," Lulu announced as she went over to her bed and sat down. "I knew you guys wouldn't notice me so I decided to speak up." The raven hair beauty pulled out some black nail polish from her bed stand and continued talking. "So...you like Aerith?" she asked Cloud.
"Tell anyone and-" the angered blonde began.
"Don't worry," Lulu gloomily mumbled as she blew on her nails. "Hard to believe but I'm not like that. Anyways," she turns towards her pupils. "I came up to tell you everyone's going swimming. Be downstairs by twelve okay?"
"D'accord," Kairi answered in French. She motioned for Cloud to get out of the room, which he immediately did. Then Lulu shut the door and started rummaging through her suitcase. Kairi yawned and tore out a piece of paper from her diary. "Selphie!" she yelled as she crumpled up the paper and threw it at the sleeping Selphie's head. "Wake up! We're going swimming!"
"I'm not feeling too hot right now," Selphie mumbled in the 'I-have-a-tummy-ache-hear-me-whine' tone of voice. "Wake me up after you go swimming okay?"
"Alright," Kairi nodded sympathetically as she rolled out of bed. She started doing as Lulu was doing, rummaging through her suitcase for her bathing suit. "I bought a bathing suit just for this trip! I can't wait to-"
"You know what Kairi?" Lulu asked sarcastically as she pulling out her black one piece. "I don't care." She went into the closet to change and slammed the door shut.
"Gomen," Kairi nervously babbled. She went back to her suitcase and she found it. "My bikini!" She gleamed as she hugged the two piece. "Hurray up Lulu! I found my bathing suit!"
"Keep your pants on!" Lulu yelled from the closet.
"I'm not listening!" Kairi smirked as she pulled down her pants and giggle hysterically. She observed her bathing suit for a moment before putting it on. It had purple and white stripes on it and looked like a typical bikini. The crimson hair girl laughed once more. "Opera says 'having stripes on your bathing suit make your boobs look bigger!'"
"It's true you know," Sora said from somewhere. Kairi looked around with a confused look on her face. She looked under her bed and saw Sora's smiling face. "So...how's life?"
"Sora!" Kairi blushed. She looked at him and then at herself.
She was on the floor. With only a shirt and panties on. Two year old panties. With a panda on them. A panda that was eating a donut. And she wasn't wearing make up...and she hasn't showered.
And Sora was right there under her bed smiling like he just played the best joke on the face of the earth.
'And this is what I'm supposed to confess my love to?' Kairi thought as her gaze remained on Sora. "Sora?" she asked with a lovely smile on her face.
"Yes my lovely?" Sora asked back with the same type of smile.
"GET OUT OF MY BEDROOM YOU PEEPING TOM!" Kairi screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Oh my," Aerith giggled from downstairs. The brunette was in the process of making lunch for the traveling students. "Sora has gotten Kairi mad again.
"How do you know that?" Riku asked from the top of his newspaper.
"I did share a room with them back at the convention," Aerith nodded as she went back to the meal. "Silly love birds."
"No," Kairi whined like a little girl.
"Come on Kairi," Tidus crossed his arms.
"I refuse!" Kairi exclaimed while glaring down to the dirty blonde. Everyone was starring at her. The crimson haired girl had her feet dangling in the water which she claimed was too cold to swim in. Even if it was over one hundred degrees outside.
"Oops!" Sora laughed as he grabbed Kairi's arm and pulled her into the water. Kairi let out a scream before she hit the water and the noise was drowned. Like she was gonna be.
"Sora!" Kairi tried to scream under water. She couldn't swim! And he pulled her into the deep end. What a fucktard. The scarred teenager hung onto Sora's neck as if her life depended on it. Which it sort of did at this moment. "Why did you do that? I love you!"
The teenager stopped and realize what she had done. Oh snap...she said it. She really said it. She looked nervously at Sora and blushed. How was he going to respond? Was he going to-
"I love you too!" Sora proclaimed to the backyard as he carried her out of the pool. "Come! Let's start a new life together!"
"Hurray!" Kairi smiled as she hugged her new lover.
They left their class and started their new life. Over the next few years they quit school and got married in a Las Vegas wedding chapel. At the age of twenty three Kairi had their first child. It was a boy and they named him Jim. Because that day Kairi had beef jerky. They celebrated by gambling away the babies college fund. Later in their twenties they had two more kids. They named them Nina and Danny. But then tragedy struck one day when Jim got ran over by a car. The two lovers decided to move to Arizona to get away from Vegas life.
Then a few years later they died. The end.
But as you could see...that was all a day dream experienced by Kairi. She shook her head and realized she wasn't dead with three kids. Kairi was in the water playing Marco Polo with the rest of the gang.
"Marco!" Aerith yelled with her eyes closed. Kairi turned around and realized the predator was right behind her. Oh. Shit.
Game Start.
"Polo!" Kairi screamed before jumping under and swimming away. Yes, unlike her day dream, Kairi could swim. She swam until she reached the other side of the pool. The human fish lifted her head above the water to observe what was happening now.
"Marco!" Aerith yelled in a slightly more frustrated tone. Luckily Kairi was on the other side of the pool by this point so she was safe to yell...
"Polo!" Kairi giggled. Giggling is bad. Giggling attracts the attention of the Marco-er. Aerith heard Kairi's giggle and began swimming towards the corner of the pool. Note: Corner. Can't get out of. Game over for Kairi. She slowly tried to stand up and get out of the pool.
"Fish out of water!" Aerith cried while pointing at Kairi. Everyone turned towards the girl and stared.
"Dammit!" Kairi cried. She jumped back in the water and pouted as she closed her eyes. It was her turn to be the Marco person now. She sighed and opened her mouth to say the M word. Then it hit her.
She never was the Marco person before!
"M-marco," she stuttered. The urge to open her eyes were strong.
"Polo!" a few voices scrambled at once. Her brain was in a frenzy. Did she hear Cloud go underwater? Did Tidus come up? Did Aerith swim away from her? 'What the hell is going on!' she thought.
She decided to try again. "Marco!" she cried confidently as she swam a few steps forward. A few answered and the sound of splashing water filled her ears.
"MARCO DARN FUCKING DAMMIT!" The frustrated teen yelled out. This time only a female voice answered. No splashing. Then something came to her mind.
"FISH OUT OF WATER!" she exclaimed as she opened her eyes. She looked up and saw everyone had snuck out of the pool and inside for lunch, leaving her outside like an idiot.
"I hate life," the now emo girl sobbed as she picked up her towel and made her way inside. Everyone was sitting around the table in their swim suits, smiling innocently as if nothing had happened. Kairi groaned, glared at the group, and took her place at the table in between Sora and Wakka.
"I hope everyone likes what I'm making," Aerith cried from the kitchen. The brunette had her hair down (for once!) and she was wearing an apron over her swim top and shorts. "I decided to try a new recipe."
"Whatever it is," Cloud winked from across the table. "It will be delicious."
"Well I hope so!" Aerith laughed in hope, completely ignoring Cloud's form of hitting-on. She showed everyone the pan. "Grilled cheese!" (A/N: No clue if they eat that in Japan...just to tell you)
"Well it smells good enough," Tidus nodded as he starred at his reflection on a spoon.
"Alright," Aerith grinned, once again in hope, at the students. She set the first two plates down in front of Riku and Sephiroth. "Dig in!"
The two silver hair men looked at their plates and drooled. Smelling the aroma just made their mouths water. But the look itself wasn't promising. Was grilled cheese supposed to have a purple tint?
Before the two had time to eat, Selphie came downstairs with her hand over her stomach and an almost pouty look planted upon her frail face. Riku raised his eyebrow in concern and faced her. "What's wrong Ms. Selphie?"
'Calling her by her first name ey?' chuckled Kairi silently.
"I really don't feel well enough to go out tonight," Selphie mumbled sadly. She attempted to bow with the little energy she had and mumbled, "Gomen everyone."
"What do you think you have?" Aerith asked ,concerned. The mom within her took over as she rushed over and felt her forehead. "Your head is a little hot. I'm guessing it's more in your tummy though!" She wiped her hand on her apron and started to ponder. "I probably could take my night off tonight to look after her."
"No, no," sighed Riku. "I would hate to trouble you and risk you getting sick." Mr. Yoshizawa flashed his famous smile (the one that won over Selphie) and said, "I'll use my night off to watch over her. "Yoroshii?"
"Yoi," Aerith smiled sweetly as she went back to looking after her other sheep. "Alright then. We're gonna go leave in about two hours." She picked up the rest of the grilled cheese and set it in front of every student. "So I want you to hurry up, eat, and get ready alright? Now then-"
"Wait a moment," Sora mumbled just loud enough for Kairi to hear. "Does this mean Aerith is going to drive us all down to the strip?"
"I guess so," Kairi nodded as she took a bite of her lunch.
"Kairi?" Sora whispered to her. The vibrations of his voice made her ears tingle.
"Hai?" Kairi blushed as she set down her sandwich.
"Bring your bible, cross, and holy water," Sora told her. Kairi looked at him and realized he was being serious. "And all your good luck charms if you can."
"Why?" Kairi was almost afraid to ask.
"You'll see."
"My Aerith," Cloud smiled like an idiot in love (which he kind of was). "Your driving is so wonderful. Let's have sex."
"Nani?" Aerith yelled from the front seat over the loud sounds of Vegas street life.
"Nothing," Cloud gazed at Aerith once more with his dumb smile.
"God," Lulu mumbled from the back seat. Everyone was holding onto their neighbor as if their life depended on it.
Which it did.
Any who..."I know I don't talk to you much," Lulu resumed her prayer to the holy one. "Or at all...but I got to say I love you. And life. And the bible. Got to love that bible." She closed her eyes shut. "Please don't let me die."
"Nice one," Sephiroth whispered as he planted a kiss on top of her raven head.
"How many charms did you bring?" Sora asked Kairi from the very back.
"I only brought my heart shaped pillow," Kairi told him. She hugged her pillow in comfort. "I didn't think our lives would be at stake."
"What does the red light mean?" Aerith asked the car. Everyone's eyes dropped.
"STOP!" Wakka yelled.
"No that can't be it," Aerith continued to think. She hummed a little. "Oh I got it!" she snapped. "It's like bulls and how they get faster when they see red. It means go faster!"
"NO AERITH!" Tidus gasped as he got thrown back in his seat.
"So heart shape huh?" Sora smiled as he put his arm around Kairi. The fact that a cop was trying to chase them through the now jammed Vegas traffic didn't concern him.
"Yes," Kairi blushed. She clutched her pillow tighter now that they weren't moving. "It's my lucky pillow."
"A heart isn't even worthy of you," Sora whispered in his famous 'I-am-Sora-how-may-I-seduce-you-today?' voice."My little Kairi."
Kairi gulped and hide her face with her hair. She couldn't let Sora see her blush. "Sora?"
"Yes Kai?" Sora smiled.
Kairi held her breath and closed her eyes. This was it. She was going to tell Sora she loved him. It might not be the most romantic but the time felt as right as ever. "I-"
"We're here!" Aerith sang as she parked the car. Kairi looked around confused. When did they start moving again? Aerith, as well as the rest of the group, gathered out of the car and looked up. They were at the Excalibur hotel.
"Alright student," Aerith giggled as she resumed the role of Riku. "Tonight we are going to tour the strip by foot instead of by car!" This was followed by groans. "You'll get a better experience that way. We're gonna go through a quickie of this hotel. Now this is the Excalibur hotel and it's shaped just like a castle-"
"Damn," Kairi mumbled. She looked up at the lighted up castle and sighed. "I missed my chance." She kicked the ground softly with the sole of her flip flop and followed the group. The crimson hair girl stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked up at the castle before they entered. And then our heroine mind wandered off somewhere...
(Inside of Kairi's mind)
"Day after day," Kairi sang while looking at her stone castle painted with the sunset lights. "Time after time" a tear rolled down her face and she let her hand hang out the tower window. The tower she was stuck in until her step mother found a suitor for her. "Before the joy and before the dreams. I have to find you and finally see what I am worth."
"Miss Kairi?" Selphie, a servant girl who brought her meals, asked in concern. "Are you alright? I snuck you an extra turkey leg for you."
"Something has changed within me," Kairi closed her eyes and tried to ignore the food. This was the last time she was going to see anything until the next morning. As night came a shadow would be casted around her tower room. She will live in darkness with the demons that tried nightly to attack her castle. "Dark surrounds me. My heart is not the same. Strip me of my life for I have nothing else left."
"Why do you sing so Miss Kairi?" Selphie asked. She placed the tray of food on the dresser and went over to the princess. "Why are you so full of sorrow?"
"Why?" Kairi continued to sing as streams of tears rolled down her face. "Why do you cry so little girl? There are no cuts or scraps upon your legs. But why oh why is there a silent slash upon my heart."
"As your servant," Selphie crossed her arms as she lit a candle and shoved the tray of food towards the purple dressed princess. "I demand you eat."
"Selphie," Kairi raised an eyebrow to the young brunette. Then she let out a laugh as she watched the sun set for the evening. "Thanks."
"I better go," Selphie bowed to the princess as she noticed how dark it had gotten. "I'll see you in the morning." She winked as she gave Kairi a goodnight hug. "I'll try to sneak you extra French toast."
"Thank you," Kairi hugged the perky girl while using her soft voice. Shortly after Selphie left, leaving Kairi to do what she did every day, night, morning...everyday and every moment.
Stare out her window. Though it got old after you've stared at it day after day, the view from the castle tower was nice. The grass was greener then it ever could be and the night before had given it a blanket of dew. And although it was night, the moon always made everything glow. "Some day my prince will come," she sang to the moon. "Some day we'll meet again and away to his castle we'll go," Kairi smiled and she brushed her delicate finger around the frame of the glassless window. "To be happy forever, I know."
"You have a wonderful voice," yelled a voice from below. Kairi stopped singing and gazed at the lake below. Someone was sitting upon the shore of the lake starring at her. She could tell from the voice it was a man but that's all.
"Who are you?" Kairi yelled out to him.
"Finish that song and I'll tell you," cried the voice. Kairi shrugged and continued.
"Someday when spring is here," Kairi sang out to the moon and her new strange visitor. "We'll find our love anew."
"And the birds will sing," sang the male at the lake side. Kairi stopped for a moment and smiled sweetly.
"And wedding bells will ring," Kairi sang a little more softly and with more feeling.
"Someday when my dreams come true," the stranger and the princess sang together.
Kairi smile like a regular girl and yelled out, "Alright now, I finished. Who are you?"
"An old childhood friend," the man bellowed out. He climbed upon a horse and waved to her. "I'll come back and visit."
"Wait!" Kairi yelled out to him as he started galloping away. "I don't know your name."
"Ust ahe O-a!" The stranger called from afar. Before Kairi could call back he was gone.
(And then suddenly...)
"Look Kairi!" A hand grabbed her shoulder. Kairi turned to see Tidus smiling like a little boy.
"What is it Tidus-chan?" Kairi giggled at the embarrassing nick name. Tidus pointed and Kairi looked. There before then stood a giant purple dragon. "Oh...That's pretty neat."
"No not that," Tidus rolled his eyes. Kairi sighed and realized how much of a girl Tidus could be. "Look! Over there are two girls I totally hit on yesterday.
"You interrupted my day dream for that?" Kairi yelled. And then once again (after hitting the blonde boy) she went back into her dream like state.
(Inside Kairi's mind...Part two!)
She did as he asked of her. Kairi had been waiting for over a year. Sitting in the same clothes for fear he wouldn't recognized her without them. Barely eating because if she did she might miss him.
Kairi was in love with a perfect stranger.
"You do realize you only fancy him because he is the only boy that has ever come to visit you," Selphie told her master as she cleaned Kairi's back with a wet rag. "Right?"
"No," Kairi shook her head and pulled away. "It's more then that. I think I know him."
"That's silly," Selphie giggled. She pulled the hair clip that held Kairi's long crimson hair away and let the locks fall to the floor. Then she started brushing with a silver comb. "You've been up in this tower since you were seven. Who could you-"
"He claims he was my child hood friend," Kairi told the brunette. "Before my dad met the widow queen and forced me to become a princess." She sighed and looked up at the blazing hot sun. "Problem is ...I don't remember him."
"That'd be a problem," Selphie grinned as she brushed the last tangle out. She set the brush back and decided to chat a while. "But how do you know he'll come and see you again?"
"He promised," Kairi answered. "And I trust him."
"You trust him?" Selphie questioned as she got up and gathered her meal tray. "A perfect stranger whom you don't even have name exchange with?"
"Yes," Kairi simply answered. Selphie sighed as thought she had lost hope. She left the room in silence.
"I was wondering when she would leave," cried a voice from below. Kairi's face was as bright as the sun. She went over to the windows edge and looked down below. There again by the lake's edge was the perfect stranger. The princess smiled and waved. "So who was that?"
"Selphie," Kairi yelled back. "She's my servant."
"So your some kind of princess now?" questioned the stranger. He crossed his arms and leaned against his horse coolly. "Your such a baka."
"Baka?" Kairi whispered. "Only one boy has ever gave me the name baka as a nick name." She pointed to the now familiar man and yelled. "Your Sora!"
"You didn't know?" Sora smiled to her. "Jeez baka."
"How did you know where I was?" Kairi yelled to him. "When I left the village I told no one where I was going. So how-"
"I followed you," Sora starred into her eyes. "And when I lost track I did everything I could to find you again."
"Sora!" Kairi yelled as she jumped out of the tall tower window. She flew through the air as if it was nothing. And like a feather she landed in the brunette's arms. "I missed you so." The princess cried into his chest.
"Me too," Sora kissed her forehead.
"Oh golly Sora I-"
(Snapping back to reality..)
"Wait," Kairi questioned her day dream. "Since when do I say 'golly'?"
"Hurray up Kairi!" Cloud exclaimed from the hotel exit. Kairi looked around.
"Damn it!" She pouted as she ran to her group. "I was day dreaming the entire time! I missed the tour!"
"We're at our next stop!" Aerith smiled. "MGM Grand!"
"If Selphie weren't sick right now," Tidus voice arouse. "She'd go-"
"OH MY GOD A GOLDEN LION!" Kairi, Sora, Wakka, and Tidus all yelled out loud at the exact same time, mimicking the sick yellow obsessed girl. They looked at each other and let out a laugh.
"Settle down!" Aerith laughed, knowing it was true. "We only have time to shortly stop here. So does anyone have any ideas of what we could do?"
"I know!" Wakka exclaimed, his attitude not matching his black hair. "We could take a group photo!"
"That's a wonderful idea!" exclaimed Aerith. She looked inside her bag and started searching. "Everyone gather around the lion!"
Everyone did as they were told. The group sat on the fountains edge. The foundation acted as a mote to protect the golden lion from danger. And it was beautifully illuminated by the lights in the background and the night sky. Aerith took out the first camera. "First we're going to take a photo with Cloud's camera. What do you want everyone to do for your photo?"
"Hmmm," Cloud thought. "First I want you to switch places with Sephiroth. Have him take the photo."
"Damn you Cloud," Sephiroth grinded his teeth.
"Yeah go suck my balls Sephy," Cloud smiled innocently. Sephiroth spit at him and stood up. Then he and Aerith switched places. "Now I just want everyone to yell 'EVERYONE LOVES THE SPIKY BLONDE ASS!' and smile."
"Oh dear," Aerith whispered nervously.
"For once," Sephiroth commented behind the camera. "You said someone remotely interesting." Cloud flicked him off and Sephiroth rolled his gothic eyes. "Ready? One...Two...Three!"
"EVERYONE LOVES THE SPIKY BLONDE ASS!" everyone yelled with the reaction of hundreds of tourist such as themselves staring at them. They all smiled and waited for the flash to go off. After it did everyone found themselves cracking up.
"Your crazy," Wakka laughed. The class nodded in agreement as they held onto their stomachs
"Now then," Aerith stood up and switched places with Sephiroth. "Next we'll take Lulu and Sephiroth's picture since they are sharing a camera." She smiled brightly to the two unsuitable couple. "What do you-"
"No smiling," Lulu interrupted.
"No saying and retarded phrases like 'cheese'," Sephiroth answered right away.
"Just sit there," the gothic pair answered in unison.
"Or to sum it up in a nutshell," mumbled Wakka. "Emo."
"Alright," The pink wearing brunette forced herself to smile. "If that's what you want." The brunette looked into the camera. "One, two, and three!" The flash went off and the picture was took. "I hope that turns out well you two."
"Take ours next man!" Wakka exclaimed, going back to his original accent. "I so want everyone to give a peace sign to the camera."
"I think everyone's turning gay," Kairi thought out loud. "I swear they are."
"That sounds fun!" Aerith smiled. "I want to be in this one!" And shoved the camera at a random tourist. "WILL YOU TAKE OUR PHOTO?" The brunette spoke in very loud English, followed by large hand gestures. The tourist nervously nodded and Aerith took her place between Lulu and Sora.
"One," the tourist started counting down.
"Everyone smile," Wakka told the group.
"Two."
Kairi extended her arm and hand slightly to the side of her. Then she held up her index and middle finger to make a peace sign. This was all followed by her glorious model like smile.
"Three!"
The flash went off once more. Aerith stood up and took the camera back and let the tourist go on their merry way. "Sadly Tidus didn't bring a camera so next I'll take one with Sora's camera."
"And it's digital," Sora gleamed. Aerith starred at him and didn't bother asking the same question. "Oh. How about we put our arm around whoever next to us and smile? I suck at creativity."
"You do huh?" Kairi smiled to him. "So what was Riri's House about?"
"Many hours of porn, coffee, and not taking of my A.D.D. medicine," Sora replied. He put his arm around her shoulder for the picture.
"Sure," smiled Kairi as she looked up into his blue glowing eyes. 'Have I been acting different? I feel that I have," Kairi thought to herself as she assumed the pose for the photo. 'Have I become slightly...nicer? Strange things happen because of love.'
"Three!" Aerith chanted the magical photo words. The bright light went off and nearly blinded the oshiego's. Aerith looked down at the camera (because it was digital) and looked at the photograph. "Oh my that turned out lovely."
"Just like you," whispered Cloud very loudly.
"What was that?" beseeched the mother like figure.
"Nothing," smiled Cloud.
Aerith shrugged and look at the last camera in her hand. "I guess we only have Kairi left." She smiled to her friend. "So what will it be?"
"Well," Kairi answered. "I want everyone to act like themselves. Photos are meant for memories. I don't want it to be some phony thing, you know?"
"That is so true!" Aerith exclaimed. "So everyone just act like yourselves!"
"Sounds fine to me!" exclaimed Sephiroth as he grabbed hold of Lulu, who wasn't doing anything but frowning, and flicked the camera off. "Sephiroth are angry."
"That sounds majestic!" declared the blonde ego maniac blonde named Cloud. He leaned back and laid on his back as though he were a model. Then he let the camera see a pouty smile for it to take. "The camera loves Cloud."
"For Selphie!" Tidus yelled as he jumped on top of Wakka and started giving him a knuckle sandwich.
"For Selphie!" laughed Wakka as he tried to do the same.
Kairi smiled and was proud of her idea. It made her happy inside knowing everyone was enjoying it. "It's going to turn out to be an awesome photo." she said. The crimson grabbed Sora's arm and hugged it while smiling into the camera. 'This is all I can say right now, I'm afraid,' Kairi thought. 'I'm just madly in love with him.'
"Hmm," Sora smiled with an evil grin on his face. "Act like yourself huh?"
"One," Aerith started counting. Sora used his free arm to grab Kairi's head. "Two," Aerith chanted. Sora moved his face towards her cheek. "Three!"
"Dear mental diary,
Photo turned out excellent. I asked everyone to act like themselves and Sora kissed me on the cheek. That's one step closer right?
From,
Kairi
PS: ...SCORE!"
"Riku-sama," Selphie coughed from under her bed sheets. "Will you get me some soup? I do love ramen noodles you-"
"No," Riku answered, not even glancing up from his magazine. Selphie pouted and coughed some more.
"But I'm sick Mr. Yoshizawa," Selphie coughed some more as she tried to make herself look even more pathetic. "And I promise ramen will-"
"Selphie Tilmitt," the silver hair man groaned as he gently set down his magazine. "We both you are faking sick. You lucky I covered for you."
"You just wanted to spend alone time with me," Selphie grinned as she sat up in bed.
"So you are admitting you are faking?" Riku snapped back. Selphie looked stunned and started coughing some more. The man grinned. "I knew it."
"You can't blame me," Selphie pouted. "We've been going out for a long time! And I-"
"Your underage," Riku yawned. "I'm not giving you sex."
"I wasn't going to say that!" Selphie blushed. She looked at her lap and tried to find the words she was going to say. Riku saw this and came over and gave her a kiss on the lips. The brunette smiled once more as her aikouka sat beside her. "I was going to say we've been dating a long time and the only alone time we spend together is when I dress up as an adult! I only want to-"
"What if Aerith was the one who was going to look after you?" questioned the older male.
"Then I would have made a quick recovery," smiled the fourteen year old evilly. Riku laughed a ran his fingers through her hair.
"Your beautiful," Riku kissed his gakuto softly and looked into her moonlight eyes. "You know that?"
"I've been told so Yoshizawa," Selphie smiled and kissed him back. Riku playfully glared at her.
"You know that bothers the hell out of me," laughed the adult kindly as he pulled the protecting covers away from her. "Call me Riku or I'll never kiss you again."
"We both know you can't keep that promise," grinned the yellow wearing, walking sunshine.
"Again," Riku kissed her. People say that when you kiss it taste like lemons and is as soft as a marshmallow but in reality all your going to taste are their lips (if your doing any tasting at all). What Selphie liked about Riku's kisses were that they tasted like all the fruits she's ever consumed and were as soft as a cloud. Riku pulled away. "Your the person who knows me best."
Then they started doing what regular couples did when they were alone. They whispered sweet nothings followed by endless minutes of lip touching. They held each other in their arms and gazed out the window as if they were going to die in that very spot if they moved.
"Riku-sama?" Selphie whispered in his ear. Riku nodded for her to continue. "Do you love me?"
"Yes," Riku answered without thinking. "I do."
"Would you die for me?" the self conscious teen whispered once more.
"Twice if I had to," Riku smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Would you give up your family for me?"
Riku looked at her. "What's with the questions? You know I love you and am risking a lot to be with you."
"I know," Selphie smiled as she planted another kiss on his nose. "I just like to hear these things."
"Of course," Riku half laughed. "I sometimes forget your only a teenager."
"...Riku?" Selphie whispered softly. He nodded and awaited more questions. "Would you do anything for me? Give anything to me?"
"You know I would," Riku answered.
"Then give me you!" Selphie suddenly yelled. She embraced him and dared herself to never let go. "I'm ready to be one with you! I've experienced enough. I know what it is to be an adult!"
"Selphie!" Riku yelled as he pushed her away. "I understand that you feel like an adult and I do not doubt that. But the fact is you aren't one!" He sighed as he stood up and left the room. "Your just going to have to wait for that."
"Okay," Selphie nodded as she gazed at the doorway. "I'll wait."
Evil grin.
"For now."
