Chapter 9: "Shopping With Kairi and Other Stories"

"Riku?" Tori's voice called.

Riku's eyes fluttered open to see Tori, Sora, and Kairi standing above him.

"About time you woke up, you lazy bum." Kairi chuckled.

"Heh, sorry. I got back kinda late." Riku said while struggling to get up, after all, it had been a while since he had gotten up at this hour and wasn't really much of a morning person anymore since everything with kingdom hearts, darkness, and the nobodies.

"It's alright." Sora said.

"Anyways, me and Tori here are going shopping!" Kairi announced.

Tori mouthed the words, "Please kill me now" to Riku. Riku only mouthed back, "I feel so sorry for you right now".

"Well geez, you're alot of help." Tori thought to herself.

"Anyways, let's get going!" Kairi said cheerfully.

Kairi started to drag Tori out of the room.

"But Kairi, I want to stay here and sleep in!" Tori said while desprately trying to cling to the doorknob.

"Come...on...Tori!" Kairi said while trying to pull her. Finally, Kairi managed to get Tori and got her outside.

"Wow, who knew Kairi was that strong?" Sora said with a sweatdrop.

"Umm...never mind." Riku said.

"What's up?" Sora asked with a confused look.

"Umm, let's just say I did a little bit of research and found out that Bre is actually a shapeshifter."

"So that wasn't Kairi?"

"Yep."

"...So...very...confused."

"I wonder if Tori knows?"

"Probably not, Riku."

Outside...

"AHH! WHICH ONE IS KAIRI?" Tori screamed.

Both of them started to laugh and Bre changed back into her actual form.

"Sorry, I just had to do that to you, Tori." Bre said while trying to stop laughing.

"sniff sniff"

"DON'T CRY, TORI! BECAUSE YOU'LL CRY AND THEN I'LL CRY, AND THEN WE'LL ALL CRY!"

"Umm, I was just kidding."

"Oh..."

There was a silence between them.

"Anyways," Kairi finally said, "where too?"

"I don't know, you know the place better than me." Bre replied.

"Okay, I'll lead the way!"

Kairi started running towards the shopping district of Twilight Town, while Tori and Bre tried to catch up.

Back over at the hideout...

"Sora." Riku said.

"Yeah?"

"About last night...I'm sorry."

"It's alright. Besides, Tori is the first person you've really fallen in love with. I guess I can kind of relate with Kairi, but-"

"I know. 'Don't throw everything away over some girl you just met', right?"

"...Pretty much."

"Sigh. Maybe I went a little overboard then."

"Not exactly. I mean, she really does seem to like you, and you didn't smother her that much."

"...Right. Sora?"

"Yeah?"

"Was it hard when you told Kairi you loved her?"

"A little. Why?"

"Because when I told Tori...I almost couldn't do it."

"But she sang some really annoying song for a couple of minutes to make you spit it out?"

"How did you know?"

"Kairi did the same."

"...Okay then."

"Phew, he bought it." Sora thought to himself.

Back at the shopping district...

"Tori..." Kairi said.

"No, I'm not trying it on."

"Pllllllllleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeee!"

"No!"

"You looked cute in that skirt, why won't you wear this dress?"

Kairi had picked out a sky blue dress with spagetti straps for Tori to try. Only thing was...

"I hate wearing dresses."

"Why?"

"Because they're a pain in the ass."

"How?"

Tori just looks at Kairi with a blank stare and walks away, and Kairi starts to follow her.

"Tori!"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Can you try this-"

"No."

Kairi finally realized that this was going nowhere.

"But Tori, it's so pretty!"

"Kairi, I swear."

"Tori...sniff sniff."

"Grr..."

"Please?"

"Sigh. Fine."

Tori gets the dress and walks into one of the dressing rooms.

5 minutes later...

"You done, Tori?"

There was no answer.

"Tori?"

Still no answer.

"...Tori?"

Kairi opens the door, only to see that Tori had escaped through the ventilation duct.

"I should've told you she's good at escaping stuff like this." Bre said finally.

"Now you tell me." Kairi said.

Inside...(sorry if there's so many of these this chapter, there will probably be a few more so just hold on)

"Cough cough. Now I think I know how Snake feels when he does stuff like this." Tori said to herself.

Yes, we are talking about "Metal Gear Solid", so sue us.

(a lawyer comes in)

...I was kidding.

(the lawyer groans and before he walks out says "I'm still getting paid!")

Anyways, back to the story...

Tori finally finds a light at the end of the duct.

"Don't you mean tunnel?"

Well, I would've said that, but it's cliche.

"...Whatever."

Tori continues on into the light, only to find out that it lead to the dumpsters out back, and lands in them.

"Worst...place...to land, ever."

Well, would you have rather had me say that you landed in a pit of attack dogs?

"No, thank you."

Thought so.

"Yeah, plus it would've been a really crappy ending to a story, don't you think?"

Pretty much, but half the people wouldn't care though. They would just laugh at your gory death.

"Don't remind me...say?"

Yeah?

"Can we have that pit in the next chapter?"

It's really not up to me.

"Then who?"

Umm, my imagination, perhaps?

"...Okay."

(Tori runs off)

Anyways, this is probably where I should end the chapter before it gets even more rando-

(Tori comes back with Momiji in his bunny form)

-.-;;; Try a little harder.

"Man, I could've swore I got the right one. YOU LIED TO ME!"

"Eek!"

Momiji hops away while Tori chases him.

"GET BACK HERE!"
