A/N: I know I put that the more reviews I got, the quicker I'd update. But I kinda got lazy, if you know what I mean. Procrastination. But anyways .. HAPPY LATE 2005! I'm so happy that it's a new year. Last year was a rough year for me, but I don't know about you all! I hope that by the end of the year this story will be finished and I'll have a couple other running! I really want to do an Inuyasha, Fruits Basket, or another Kingdom Hearts one! Maybe a Final Fantasy one, but I'm not so sure.
Anyways, I finally saw Mean Girls on Valentine's Day. Wow, those girls are a little snobby. Reminded me quite a bit of Queenie. o.o; But I decided I was going to blend in Regina's personality with Queenie's, so now Queenie is going to start being more of a bitch. Poor girl. But no, no need to worry, this isn't no Mean Girls fanfiction. (: Because I'm 'nice' like that.
Oh yeah, MY BIRTHDAY IS APRIL SECOND! REALLY SOON:D SO BUY ME SOME CHOCOLATE. OR SOMETHING!

"Kairi, wake up."
".. .. .. .." Kairi could feel her eyelids slowly opening as a blurry visage greeted her. A tall, muscular frame stood above her; gazing down at her curiously. Due to her vision still blurry from waking up, she couldn't quite make out who the person was standing before her. All she knew was she was laying on her bed in her room because of lavender color that could easily be pointed out. Why I am in my bedroom? Whose voice is that? It sounds familiar .. .
"Kairi, did you hear me? Stop being such a gummy."
Out of natural reaction, the girl's slender upper body shot up right away from the laying down position. That wasn't just anybody's voice; it was her father's. But .. of course, it couldn't have been. Her father had died when she was younger. However, the voice couldn't been mistaken for anybody else's and her childhood nickname was 'gummy'; something only her, her father, and mother knew. There was only a few explainable reasons. One, she was hearing things and was still drowsy from fainting. Two, her mother had wrecked her voice box in some way. Three, she was going nuts.
As soon as Kairi's vision had quickly cleared up and everything around her became sharper and much more clear, the pit of her stomach dropped. The man indeed standing before her, was her father. Flushing through a couple shades of white, she laid herself back down into her previous sleeping position but keep her occulars wide open and focused on the man the was standing before her bed side.
"I-I'm not being a gummy, dad .."
"Dad? Gummy? I called you dummy, dumb ass. What the fuck is screwing with your mind?"
The voice of the man changed, as well as his image. No, it was not the warm, caring, and loving man she had once known as father. It was Riku; all opposite. Her mind had only been playing with her. Aggravated and frustrated with hope letting her down, she released an irritated sigh and slowly sat back up as she rubbed her temples with her two fingers. How delerious she was becoming. Honestly, how had she mistaken the Ice King for her dad?
"Why are you here Riku?" Kairi asked irritable.
"I brought you home since the school nurse couldn't get in contact with your mom. I was at the nurses getting ... ... some ice for a headache when she asked if I would mind carrying you home and staying with you until you woke up and your mom came home," Riku said. "Of course, who could blame her for asking me? I am the best athlete in our school and I could carry five of you at once. But I'm sure I won't be able to do that if you put on another pound or two." Bragging, he began to flex his muscles.
"Out." Kairi lifted up one of her arms and pointed one of her digits at her maple framed door. Her dark and flawless cinnamon colored eyebrows furrowed angrily.
"What?" Riku paused from flexing, wearing a blank and confused facial expression.
"I said get out. Go back to school."
"I'm supposed to wait here until your mom returns," he curtly smiled.
"OUT!"
Leaning to the side of her bed, she grasped the first thing that came in to contact from the floor with her hand. Out of luck, it happened to be her 452 page text book for her English class. As soon as she repositioned her eyes on Riku, his hues widened and before she knew it, he was scrambling towards the door. Normally in a situation like this she would have not thrown it but so annoyed by the boy and his remarks, she drew back her extension and tossed the book at hit him.
"GOD DAMN IT, YOU STUPID WENCH!"
The book went flying at him and hit him in the thigh; only temporarily stopping him. Not completely stunned by it though, he swiftly exited through her door, slamming it behind him. She could hear him make out the words "bitch," "whore", "non-thankful", but she just giggled. Luckily for him she didn't scream rape. Otherwise, the local fisherman on the beach would have been there within seconds. And those fisherman weren't actually the stereotypical scrawny old men.
It took a couple of minutes before she heard her downstairs door open and close. She'd glanced out her window from her bed and could see a stalky, angry figure marching away from the house and back towards the direction of the school. Relaxed that she knew he wasn't going to come back upstairs and kill her with a pan when she was sleeping, she sighed relieved and leaned back into her pillow, closing her eyes. Dad, if only you could see me now. I'm as happy as ever and I can take care of myself. I'm not that petite little 5 year old that I used to be ..
As Kairi began to doze off into a peaceful slumber, the last thing she saw in her head was a smiling man who stood before her bed, smiling gently and then patting her head softly as if she was a young tyke. But was it really in her head?

Kairi sighed as she sat back in her computer screen, gazing at the conversation window. Yeah .. sorta makeover. A few hours after Riku had left, Queenie had stopped by with some of the girls. Apparently they'd gone shopping without her, but that didn't stop them from buying her new clothes.

"Oh, Kairi! What is this .. filth?"
"My clothes .."
"Ugh, they all look saggy .. and .. ugh! Sona, hold these. Amy, toss those. Mariah, go out to the car and get some of the stuff you bought. Help her Cinny," Queenie said as she kept plucking off clothes from her hangers.
"O-oh you bought me some new clothes?"
"Yeah, of course. Can't be caught dead in any of this shit if you're going to be seen with us from now on."
"Oh."
"Oh yeah, total cost of your clothes, accessories, makeup etc. only totaled about four hundred, eight something. So it shouldn't last you long. We'll go to the mall after school on Monday."
"O-oh, wow. Thanks .. "
"No problem. Mariah! Don't set the bags on the bed, you idiot. Bring them over here and hang them up.

RING! RING! RING!
Snapping out of it, she rolled the chair across the room and picked up the phone from the receiver. It was Sora, so she wasn't going to do the "Hello, this is Kairi speaking." thing.
"Hello?"
"Hey!"
"Hey Sora," Kairi softly smiled as she rolled her chair back over to the computer. Now that Sora knew that Queenie had given her a total revamp, she felt nervous. What if Sora didn't like her new look? What if he wouldn't like her anymore because of it? What if he said he didn't want to go on another date with her? What if he avoided her! Kairi felt so sick and found herself frowning from the indecent thought.
"Did you hear me?"
"Oh, sorry! I was ... thinking."
"Do you want to go with me tomorrow to the beach? Some of the guys are having a party .. But we don't have to go together if you don't want."
"No, I wanna go! I mean, with you of course."
"Great. But yeah, Tidus and Wakka are gonna be there .."
As Sora began to talk more about the party and the details, Kairi focused her eyes on he brightly lit screen. Yuffie and Selphie were both online, but she refused to talk to any of them. Queenie was online, too but on away. For some reason, she felt that Queenie didn't like her that much. It was probably only because she was dating Sora. Yeah, she betted that it was that. But she wouldn't bring it up with Queenie. She didn't want to the girl turning their backs on her or yelling at her or getting her fingers crushed by the girl's high heels.
lonely2nite has sent you a message.
Will you accept or decline?
Who's that? Figuring it was one of the girls from the group, Kairi grasped her mouse and moved it over to the 'accept' button. She clicked it, and within seconds the message the person had sent it, appeared on her screen. For a moment, Kairi studied the message. Then all of a sudden, she interrupted Sora.
"Hey can I call you back?"
"Yeah. Is something wrong? You don't sound well."
"I have to call Queenie quick."
She could hear Sora sigh.
"Yeah, okay. Bye."
Before she could say a goodbye response, Sora hung up. She had a feeling she'd upset him somehow but that wasn't the case right now. Deciding to feel guilty later, she clicked the 'end' button and then clicked it again. She dialed Queenie's number; knowing it from when the girl had wrote it on her hand.
"Queenie? Hey. I need to come over. It's an emergency."
