Chapter Four: Ahh! There's Sand in My Pants!

You know what, I'm really getting into this story, I mean I have a line I want to use in this story pretty soon, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do so. It involved 1337! Haha! I don't care if I still only have 2 reviews, even though I'd love more! Anyways, get some choco-fudge ice cream and some of that new Dr. Pepper stuff, get reading!

At the end of the day, only a platform had been started of this gummi ship project, even though, for some reason, Donald had a sort of mini-instruction manual.

"This is going to take a while." I grumbled as I plopped on to the white sand as the sun was setting.

"Looks like it." Riku added, plopping down as well.

"I don't see why we don't just continue working on our old raft." Kairi suggested, catching Sora's attention. I mean, a guy smacking himself on the head is a pretty obvious sign that someone's having a Homer Simpson "D'oh!" moment.

"Thanks Kairi." He moaned as the five of us sat at the waters edge. "If you had told us that earlier, we wouldn't have had to wipe ourselves out, making a wooden gummi!"

"I just thought of it, so don't yell at me!" she quickly snapped back.

"Stop yelling!" Donald interrupted.

I plopped on to my back and stared up at the pink sky. "This is just about worse that everyone back in school." I muttered, using my Kyo bag as a pillow.

"Hey, you'd still be dealing with your friends if you weren't so obsessed with us!" Sora snapped at me.

"What's gotten into you lately!" Kairi returned, defending me. "All you've been lately is this grumpy, horrible…creep! You're being mean to everyone!"

"You can't blame her for being obsessed with our story, you know." Riku added, defending me as well. "We're all pretty interesting characters."

"She got her world destroyed!" Sora complained. He stood up and looked down at me. "Her heart is dark!"

"Not my fault that you guys are so freakin' awesome!" I yelled back at him.

"QUIET!" Donald shrieked, causing the yelling to fade. He got up as well and stormed over to Sora. He pulled out his staff and waved it angrily at him.

Sora looked down at Donald, the Keyblade appearing in his hands. Riku threw a small stone at Sora.

"You're going to fight your own friend?" he commented. "That's a bit of a crazy thing. Both of you know each others strengths and weaknesses, so it's pretty pointless.

I picked up a rock sitting next to me in the sand and whipped it at Sora. " Wow, I never knew you got like this." I hissed. "I even know that inside of you, there's a happy, teenage boy who just isn't who he used to be." He turned his attention to me. " You heard me, I said that you're not the Sora that Kairi, Riku and Donald here know. I barely know you in a personal way, and I know that this isn't you."

He lowered the Keyblade and sat down, looking out at the water. The Keyblade flashed and vanished as the water came in covering the rubber of Sora's shoes.

"Lots of things have changed." He muttered. "I may as well be one of them."

"That doesn't mean you have to change for the worst!" Kairi added. "Sora, Anna's right. It's not in you to act so…so…"

"Bitchy." I continued. Sora turned and glared at me as if I had just cursed at him…Wait…I did.

Riku got up and moved down closer to Sora, Donald and Kairi joining him. I stood behind them all.

"You need to get back to being you." Riku ordered, "I changed, and so did Kairi, but we changed for the better. I mean, you even told me to think more positive, and I do now. It's almost like we switched."

"C'mon, Sora." I added, nudging him in the back with my foot. "Do you honestly think that I'm this much of a threat?" He glanced at me. "I mean, I was freaking out about Riku's hair. I was scared when I found Donald in my bag. I'm afraid of Charmin Bears and badgers. I don't like the color maroon or garages with too many cans of paint. I have constant nightmares about getting phone calls from dead animals. I'm not very threatening!"

It was quiet…Then…

"RAAA!" Sora belched at me, hoping to freak me out, only making me fall back a bit with this look of complete…"Whaaa" on my face.

The four people in front of me started laughing noticing the look on my face had to be something like a…something weird.

"That wasn't funny!" I growled, noticing that Sora had the expression of a fishy thing on his face. My cheeks budged out and I found myself in a pudgy face. I found myself laughing only to collapse on the ground, remembering that a bunch of my friends home would make those kinds of faces at me.

Sora nudged me in the arm. "Lighten up," he laughed, "It was only a joke." I managed a smile, despite my realization of my homesickness. Is if possible to get homesick when you don't exactly have a home anymore?

"Okay, okay." I replied, as the Sora standing over me, helped me up. I noticed Riku smirk, causing me to grin like a freaking idiot only for—

Splasssh!

I found myself lying in the shallow water of the ocean, a face full of sand and sea water.

"Which one of you did it!" I roared in a sort of amused way. All four of them just kind of looked at me, as if I had only tripped. (Watch it be that I did, that'd be pretty funny.)

"C'mon, let's get you out of here," Riku said, bending down, and giving me a hand. I grabbed it, and right when he started to pull me up, I pulled him into the water. He looked at me, with this completely aggravated look on his face and began to laugh. "How'd you know it was me?"

"You were smirking." I added, noticing that Donald was jumping in after us.

"Donald!" Sora cried, going in after Donald. Kairi seemed to catch on to all of the hilarity (for some reason or another it was really funny) and ran into the water as well.

A few hours later, we all head back to the other island, where once again, I spend the night with Kairi…and Professor Hojo…Oh my god, I still can't get over that, I mean, it's Hojo! Spooky, weird, and almost creepy Hojo, the one who was all creepylike? Yeah, that one. The one who somehow attracted skanky ladies, and yet I'm still not sure why…I think you may get the point.

"Anna, we have to get to bed." Kairi told me as she started up the stairs.

"Why?" I asked, unsure. "It's only 9:30."

"I have school tomorrow!" Kairi quickly replied.

"That doesn't mean that—"

"Yes, you do."

Oh, come on! I get sucked into a video game, and I still have to go to school! This isn't fair! I end up getting thrown into a world where there is a never-ending battle between light and darkness, and I still have to go to school!

"Oh, come on! I get sucked into a video game, and I still have to go to school! This isn't fair! I end up getting thrown into a world where there is a never-ending battle between light and darkness, and I still have to go to school!" I complained to Kairi, as the words continued to blurt out in my head.

And so began my schooling at that very, very tiny school of Destiny Islands…I hope their food doesn't suck!
