Chapter Nine—The Wonderland Hippies

Sora got on the train with his other teammates. They had a game in Wonderland, which was going to be very interesting. He sat next to the window and the train took off.

His friend from the team, Soubi, was listening to a CD player in the seat across from him. Soubi was a couple years younger than Sora was and was still in college. He usually flirted with the Blitzball cheerleaders that traveled with the team everywhere they went. The Hornets were a pretty small team compared to what Sora had in high school.

"Hey Sora…" A girl named Brittini sat down next to him. She was one of the cheerleaders. She had long, black hair and wore tons of makeup.

"Hello." Sora leaned back in his seat.

"Are you ready for the game?" She smirked.

"I think so. The Wonderland Hippies are… kind of scary…"

She laughed. Brittini talked to Sora whenever she had the chance. Sora kind of suspected that she liked him, and he didn't want to deal with that. A lot of girls lusted after him, which personally he couldn't stand.

"So how's your family doing?" Brittini asked innocently.

"They're great. My sons' birthdays are in two weeks." He hoped to make her disappointed by saying he had children. However, she didn't seem to mind.

"Aww! You have kids? How old?" Like she didn't know already…

"They will be nine. They're twins."

"How adorable!" She squealed. Sora took out his wallet and showed her some pictures of him and the family. He made sure to show her as many pictures of him and Kairi too, just so she'd get the idea that he wasn't interested in her at all.

"You know, I was pregnant once… but I had a miscarriage…" She sighed. "Oh well…"

I believe it… Sora thought.

"So um… you married?" Brittini asked stupidly. Sora wanted to strangle her!

"Yes, very happily married." He smiled. She was quiet at first, but for some reason just wouldn't give up on him.

"Must be nice to not have sex anymore. I would die." She giggled.

"What a whore!" Sora thought to himself.

Kairi and Namine hung out that day while the kids were at school. It had been a while since they'd seen each other, so they were glad for the opportunity. Not only that, Orett came along too. They went to a restaurant.

"I just don't understand Roxas anymore." Namine sighed sadly.

"What's going on?" Kairi asked, placing her hand on Namine's.

"We just… don't agree on anything…"

"I love being single." Orett said randomly.

"Yeah…" Namine paused, "sometimes I just want to rip his guts out!" She was acting bipolar. Kairi's eyes widened.

"Wow, you don't want to go that far… I get mad at Sora all the time without him even knowing it… I guess I know how you feel…" She sunk down in her seat.

"It's just… I feel like him and I don't connect as much as we used to." Namine was starting to cry. "I'm afraid of getting a divorce…"

"Whoa! Calm down!" Kairi jumped up. "Divorce? You two have to work this out!" She should take her own advice.

"I heard from Riku the other day." She changed the subject abruptly.

"Riku? Really?" Kairi asked, interested.

"Yeah. He works in a bar on Destiny Islands."

Kairi hadn't seen or heard from Riku since they left college. Does time really pass that quickly?

She was also considering going to Destiny Islands for the twin's birthday just like Sora suggested. It would be nice to see her family again and the place she grew up. She hadn't been there in years…

"And the Twilight Town Hornets win once again!"

The crowd went wild. Sora and the rest of the players shook hands with the opposing team and rounded up to stretch.

"That was easy!" Soubi shouted out. Sora tried to hush him a little so the other team that was passing by didn't feel bad. (A/N: it's happened to me) Soubi had a lot of pride.

As they were walking back to the train, Sora nearly fell over. A few of the cheerleaders from the other team appeared in front of him jumping up and down and begging for autographs.

"There you go." Sora smiled as he gave the last paper back to the girl. She hugged him without his consent, but he decided to be nice and hug her back.

"Come on, Sora!" Called the coach. Sora picked up his bag and got back on the train with the others.

"You're such a pimp!" Said one of his teammates. Sora shook his head in refusal, but they continued to tease him about all the girls that flirted with him.

"Oh come on, they only like us because we have money." He turned to the cheerleaders sitting in the back. "No offense."

"What are you talking about, Sora? I like you because you're very sweet… and hott too…" Brittini ruffled his hair playfully. Sora scooted over a little more towards the window. He couldn't wait to get home…

"So Sora, when we get back to the hotel, why don't you and I go down to the pool, eh?" She asked. She just didn't get it.

"Look, Brittini… I think you're a really nice person, but I just don't like you in the way you think I do, okay? I'm married." Sora said as calmly as he could. She merely giggled and grabbed hold of his arm. Sora pulled away.

"You know you want me." She teased, leaning her head on his shoulder. Sora was ticked now.

"Please get off of me…" He tried to keep his cool, but she just wouldn't listen…

A/N: She's such a whore! Grr! Might I also note that KH2 was SUPPOSED to be out today… but no, they had to destroy my hopes of getting the precious game for my birthday… oh well… it comes out during spring break now, so I guess that's all I'll be doing during that time!
