Chapter 3: Back Home

Not much to say here. I got a snow day today!

"Ugh... My head..." Selena shook her head and looked around. "What the?!" She was back in her room. 'A dream?' Then she saw Riku. "It wasn't a dream! Riku! Riku! Wake up!!!"

Riku groaned and opened his eyes. "Where are we?" He glanced around.

"We're back in Selena's room...?" Rachel stared. "Where's my bow?"

"It probably works like the Keyblade." Mike stood up.

"Yes! We've escaped the evil grasshopper!" Ame cried happily.

"No you haven't." Tiffany pointed to her shoulder, where the cricket was sitting.

"I'm a cricket! Not a grasshopper! How many times must I tell you?" Jiminy shouted.

"What's with the racket? Tiffany, Ame, your mothers called and said you guys could sleep over..." Selena's mom walked in. "What's this?" She said, eying everyone suspiciously. "Where have you been Selena?! I was worried sick about you!"

"Um... Well... You see... My KH game went crazy and... Well... We got sucked into it... And... We're really sorry for being gone for so long!" Selena hugged her mom. "I was afraid I'd never see you again!"

"Don't lie to me Selena. It's not nice."

"But it's true!" Rachel cried. "We were fighting Heartless and everything!"

"What is this 'KH' you're talking about Selena?" Riku asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"OK... Well! What other proof do you have?" Selena's mom asked.

Selena pulled the Angelblade out. "Um... How about this?"

Her mom stared. "Can't argue with that proof. You really were in a video game."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!?!" Riku shouted.

"Could you explain?" Jiminy jumped onto Selena's shoulder.

"Oh! Well... In this world, you both are video game characters!" Selena smiled.

"So we don't exist here?" Riku asked.

"Basically." Tiffany sighed.

Selena went back to her game. "Huh?" The PS2 was on standby. "That's weird... Mom! Did you turn this off?"

"No. I tried, but the thing didn't work, so I gave up." Her mom walked to the doorway. "I bet you guys are hungry. I'll make something."

Selena looked at her clock. "It's 8 already? I thought we were traveling in game time..."

"I can't believe I'm a video game..." Riku moaned.

"Shut up." Mike snapped.

"You're getting annoying." Tiffany sighed.

"I'm gonna ask my mom if she can explain to your parents what's going on." Selena strolled out of the room. She poked her head back in. "And don't touch ANY of my stuff." She ran to her mom. "Do you think we can go back to the game tomorrow?"

"But you don't know how to get back!" Her mom yelled.

"I have a feeling the Angelblade is the answer! I need to go back to finish the game and save Kuro!"

"Kuro?"

"Well... He's a character I met in the game. I want to play it because the adventure's different!"

"If you want to so badly, then fine. Make sure you pack what you need, though."

"Thank you so much mom!" Selena hugged her. "Oh! Make sure you fill everyone in." She ran upstairs to her friends.

"What'd she say?" Riku asked after she had closed the door.

"She said go for it!" Selena pushed Mike and Riku out of her room. "I need to pack and everything! You should too Mike!"

"Everyone ready?" Selena asked the next day.

"Ready!" Everyone called back.

"Then let's go!" She pointed the Angelblade to the screen and there was a bright flash.

"Ouch..." Selena stood up and rubbed her arm. "Must have hit it on something." She jogged out of the alley. "I guess I'll have to find everyone." She walked into the Accessory Shop. "Um... You wouldn't happen to have seen some of my friends, would you?"

"Nope." Cid shook his head.

Riku ran into the shop. "Selena! Found you!"

"What's up?" Selena asked.

"Where's everyone else?"

"I guess we got separated. No biggie." Selena started walking out of the shop.

"Selena!" He ran after her.

"They're coming at you out of nowhere." A voice said when they were outside.

"Who are you?!" Riku yelled.

"And they'll keep on coming at you, as long as you continue to wield that key." Selena smiled.

"How did you know what I was going to say?" Squall said startled. "Never mind. Now... Let's see that key."

"Riku, you be a cheerleader. I'll take care of this guy!" Selena summoned the Angelblade. "Can't wait to beat the famous Squall Leonheart!" She hit him in the stomach with the back of the blade and kicked him in the face. "Take that!"

"Yuffie!" He yelled.

"Gotcha!" She jumped down behind Riku and poked him with a needle.

"We just poisoned your friend over there. Either you come with us willingly, or we'll force you, but Riku may die in the process."

"No fair!" Selena put the Angelblade away. "Fine! I'll go with you!"

"Since we can't have you causing trouble along the way..." Squall hit her in the head with the hilt of his sword. He caught Selena before she hit the ground unconscious. "Let's go Yuffie."

"You sure we shoulda lied like that to her? I mean, she might wanna kill us when she wakes up."

"I know, but it was the only way." Squall turned and started walking to the Second District. "It'll be a while before either of them wake up."

"He better not wake up!" She pulled Riku onto her back. "I used my best Sleeping Venom on him!"

Squall smiled. "Let's not test how long that poison works." They hurried to their hotel.

That's it! Hope you liked it. Sorry for the lack of randomness. I'll make the next chapter funnier! Promise! Well, review! Bye!
