Later that afternoon, Riku got tired of his video games and decided to go hang out at Sora's house, where he was shooting hoops with their spectacled friend, Hurky, on Sora's driveway. Sora was now really interested in joining the basketball team ever since his dad put the hoop over the garage door a few months back. He was also finally starting to go through his growth spurt. He was now 2 inches taller than the tallest girls he hung out with, Hurky and Alexa, who were both the same height, but Hurky stopped growing at 16 and she was almost 18, while Alexa was ready to stop growing since she was almost 16.

"I really don't think you can do a slam dunk." said Hurky as she crossed her arms and tapped her foot.

"Just watch me." squeaked Sora. His voice was also finally starting to change, but very slowly. He picked up the basketball, dribbled it a few times, and jumped to the hoop, but couldn't slam it into the hoop.

"See?" asked Hurky smugly. "Riku can do a slam dunk!"

"That's because he's using a ladder!" said Sora.

"Oh really?" asked Riku.

Sora and Hurky jumped.

"OMG, I didn't know you were there!" said Hurky.

Riku took the ball from Sora, dribbled it, and slam-dunked it into the hoop.

"Damn..." said Sora amazed.

Riku laughed. He took the ball that was bouncing on the ground and spun it on one finger. "Where's Ryo, Alexa and Kairi?" he asked.

"You should know where Ryo is, since she's your ultimate fangirl." said Sora.

Riku smacked Sora upside the head.

"Ow!" said Sora as he rubbed his head.

"Yeah, but she hasn't called or stopped by today." said Riku.

"She went to the dentist for her check-up, then she had some errands to run." spoke up Hurky. "And Alexa and Kairi are at the mall, getting some last minute deals on stuff before the prices go back to normal."

"Hmm. Figures." said Riku. He tossed the ball to Sora and sat down on the bench to the side. "I just wish that Rep would go back to Balamb Garden and just leave already. He's really getting on my nerves."

Hurky winced. She was a former student of Balamb Garden, but she moved last year and was denied her request to remain there. She didn't mind going to school with Sora and everyone else, but she really didn't like being a new kid and a senior at the same time. No one she ever knew had to transfer to a different school their senior year.

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like Riku called to them.

"What up!" he called.

Sora, Riku, and Hurky turned to find Rep, standing in the driveway. He dug his hands into his sweatshirt pocket and walked over to the three of them.

"Well well well," he said. "If it isn't Sore-ass and Turkey-jerky."

"Shut up, Rep." said Sora.

"Yeah, get a life!" said Hurky angrily. She really didn't like having her nickname being insulted.

"I have some news for you, bro." said Rep, ignoring the comments shot at him. "Mom, Dad, and I were having a conversation this morning, and we called Balamb Garden. I've decided to stop attending there and come to Destiny Islands High."

"Why?" asked Sora.

"To experience high school life." Rep plainly said.

Sora rolled his blue translucent eyes. "Yeah, sure." he said sarcastically.

"Hey, Sore-ass, I've noticed your voice is finally changing!" said Rep. "What happened? Did a frog crawl in there and die?"

Sora glared at Rep as he threw his head back and laughed.

"Rep, just go home!" said Riku.

"Fine." said Rep. "Just be home in time for dinner."

Then, he walked off.

"Why is he like this?" asked Hurky.

Riku shrugged. "Beats me." he said. "But there must be something that caused him to be the way he is."

Meanwhile, back with the Organization, Marxene and her daughter, Larxene, now 23 and in the Organization, reported to Axel and Vexen fora small meeting.

"So, anything new with those twins?" asked Axel.

"Nothing really." answered Larxene. "But Rep has decided to stay on the islands to destruct Riku."

Vexen turned to Marxene and glared at her. "The older twin to destruct the younger twin?" he asked. "I thought they were supposed to work together to destroy the worlds!"

Marxene stared down at her hands. Finally, she spoke, but in a tiny voice.

"Rep drank the-" she began.

"Speak louder!" said Axel. "We can't hear you."

"Rep drank the entire bottle of the serum when he was born, but Riku only drank two-thirds." she said.

"Riku wasn't thirsty?" asked Larxene in a questionable voice.

Her mother shook her head. "Riku was too squirmy. He moved his hand so fast, that he knocked the bottle out of my hands and it broke." she explained.

"Why didn't you report this to me, Larxene?" demanded Vexen angrily as he pounded his fists on the table.

"You could have just made another one." said Axel.

"I only had enough for two bottles." said Vexen. "So that was why Riku was only evil for a short time. He'll never be pure evil like his twin!"

"I'm sure there are other ways." said Larxene.

Vexen shook his head. "There was only one way that I knew of." he said disappointingly.

Later, Riku left Sora's house and went home, where Rep made another annoucement over dinner.

"I also forgot to tell you that I got my learner's permit to drive." said Rep to Riku.

"And?" asked Riku. "I got mine at fifteen and a half. Now look in the driveway! I've got my own car!"

"Well, can you be a dear brother and let me take a few tries in your car?" asked Rep innocently.

"No way!" said Riku.

"Riku..." said Riku's father sternly.

Riku sighed. "Fine, I'll let you take test runs in my car." he said.

"Great!" said Rep happily.

Riku sighed. He didn't know what he was getting into...
