Jean: NNNOOO! I just deleted what I wrote for the past hour! NNNOOO! (Headache)

Sora: So it's going to take more time?

Jean: NNNNOOOOO! My work is ruined! All because of a stupid mistake! And continue with the story. Can't believe I have to write it all over again. (Still moaning for the one stupid mistake)


The next day…….

"You're finally going to meet him." Riku said while driving the car.

"I don't know. It's too good to be true." I said, looking at the glass window.

"C'mon! You've been like a month since you met him at the Balamb chat room, okay?" asked Luna, sitting at the back of the car again.

"You talk to him all the time. Surely you know him." Said Riku, looking at me this time.

"I know, but he doesn't me. What if I meet him and I'm not what he expects?" I asked on my thought. "Maybe this whole relationship's just better for cyberspace."

"Listen, okay. You have to go for that dance, and that's the last thing I want you to do." Riku said, drinking some water from his bottle when stopped at the red light.

"This Savior guy isn't going to stay on that one place for long, all right?" Luna urged.

"If it helps, I'll be your escort. Deal?" asked Riku.

"Really?" I asked, with excitement.

"Yeah, Riku will do anything for the spare part money, and you have to pay him a few dollars and he'll do that-" Luna paused when I looked at her, mentioning about the money.

"I'm just kidding." Luna said, and let out a nervous laugh.

"You rock Riku." I commented, and when the green light flashed, the car began moving again.


At the restaurant……

"Now who's that brat stealing my salmon?" asked Cloud angrily. He was trying out his new recipe for his salmon again. Steamed salmon, that's what Cloud said. "And I wonder who ate that all up. I have to suffer the dire consequences if I don't give Penny the food on time and I don't want to be fired."

"Kairi! I need more salmon, and pick up my dry cleaning!" Penny yelled.

"Kairi! I need more ketchup!"

"Kairi! Where's the salmon? I've waited long enough for it. Wanna Cloud to be fired or not? Call him to hurry up!" screamed Penny. I'm sick and tired of being her dog.

"Why do you have to act like her slave?" asked Riona.

"Easy as ABC. No Penny, say goodbye to Balamb." I said, continued wiping the tables.

"That stinks." Mumbled Riona.

"Tell me about it, then." I asked.

Meanwhile, I saw Sora, Tidus and Meg coming into the restaurant, and overheard their conversation. I tried to avoid him as I can.

"Geez! It's hot out there." Complained Tidus.

"Damn, a girl hits that. See, it's so impressive!" Meg said, cooling Sora.

"So, what are you and Paine going to the Halloween party as?" Tidus asked.

"I don't know if I'm going to Paine." Sora said, raising his shoulders.

"You're not going to the party with Paine? Who else you want to go with?" Tidus asked.

"I don't know. It's a mystery." Sora said, laughing away.


After school at the patrol station……

"Thank you." Said a customer, after receiving the change from Sora's father, Mr. Hikari.

"You're welcome, Miss." Greeted Mr. Hikari, seeing the lady moving to her and drove away.

At the same time, Sora went into the mart and saw his father busily doing something.

"Sora, I need you to come with me." He said, Sora followed his father to the office.

"Sora." His father said.

"What's up?" Sora asked. Mr. Hikari opened one of the drawers from the table, and showed him the brochures everything about Balamb Garden.

"What with all those Balaam brochures whatever they are in you bedroom?" asked his father angrily. Sora snatched the brochures away from his father.

"What are you doing in my room?" asked Sora angrily to his father, glaring at him. "I'm trying to keep my options open!"

"You don't need options! Everything's all taken care off." Argued his father. "Look sonny, we have been working on this programme since you were 6. You are going to play soccer, graduate….." his father began rattling what Sora has to do.

"……and you will finally manage the business with me. Your future is in my hands, and you can't stop me now." Said his father. "So don't mess with the plan!"

"Wouldn't think of it." Said Sora rudely, staring at the ceiling.

"There's another customer, go make him happy." Ordered his father, Sora went to the customer.


After serving the customer……

After that, he went to the mart, only to find Jean waiting for him. Jean was different from the other girls in school, besides me and Luna. She carries a book everyday and wore braces (I have not started wearing braces, but soon. My teeth has problems, but not too serious, don't worry.) People around her refer her as a geek, and most people classified her as a nerd. She was also Sora's childhood friend when she and he were 4.

"Hi Jean." Greeted Sora. "How's Science Club (This is not my real extra activity, and try to guess my real extra activity. I will have a prize for the winner.)?"

"Yeah, okay and----" she paused for a moment and left the patrol station. "Never mind. I've got homework to do. See you later on the phone."

"Bye!" Sora greeted, and as she was leaving, two cars covered with mud drove in.

"Sora!" Namine greeted as soon as she was out of her car.

"Hi Namine." Said Sora. Just then, Lulu came out of her car and pushed Namine to the side.

"We need our cars washed." Said Lulu.

"Yeah, look!" Namine nodded her head. Both their cars were covered with mud, and the smell was driving the customers away.

"Dirt." Mumbled Lulu under her breathes.

"What did you call me just now?" asked Namine, in a foul mood.

"Nothing." Lulu rolled her eyes.

"One second ladies, all right." Sora said, writing something on two pieces of paper and passed it to them. "Take this inside when you're done. Thank you very much." Said Sora, passing them the tickets and leaving for the mart.

"Oh my GOD! He's such an angel!" Namine squeaked.

"He's cute." Lulu said admiring Sora.

"I know that." Namine said.

"So you're going to pay the dirty car washes, huh?" asked Lulu, looking at Namine in vain.

"Excuse me, who do you think you are, the dirt police?" asked Namine meanly.

"Yes!" Lulu shouted boldly.

"Look, miss, do you know how fast your dirt was going?" asked Namine.

"You should have stop with the dirt police." I said in the middle of their conversation.

"Kairi! What are you doing here?" asked Namine and Lulu together in dismay.

"Just saw your cars there while buying some spare parts for Riku's car. His car just broke down just yesterday." I said, being innocent.

"Speaking of cars, you should get going, because Mum's looking for you." Said Lulu.

"Well, where is she?" I asked.

"She's at home, 'baking'." Said Namine. I went back home as fast as I could, and saw mum at the baking machine suntanned-ing herself artificially.


"You want to see me?" I asked. She was lying down, with those ugly things-like goggles on her eyes. It looked, stupid.

"Yes." She said. "Oh----my. Did you finish completing your errands?" she asked. "Because I need you to head for the restaurant and take the night shift."

"Tonight's my night off and it's the Halloween dance party in school, and--" Penny cut off my sentence and interrupted me.

"Others need you to go to the restaurant to mop the floor, wipe the tables, the windows, the bowls, plates, everything, TONIGHT!" she yelled.

"But I really need to go for this dance. I need that, and it's very important to me. Please Penny, let me go." I pleaded.

"You need to earn your tuition money for university." Penny argued. "You got to clean the table."

"I'm a straight A-student. I work 7 days a week, like 24/7 and I'm taking extra AP class. I never asked you for anything in my life with you. Please let me have this dance." I begged, this time, on my knees.

Penny sighed, and went out of the bathing machine. "Sweetie, now that you are old enough…..there is something I've always want to tell you, and I think you are ready to hear. You're not very pretty, and you're not very bright. I'm so glad we had that talk." She insulted me.

TBC……


Jean: Uhoh! Kairi's is being insulted by Penny.

Kairi: WAHHHH! (Crying to the toilet.)

Jean: Okay, don't forget to look at the next chapter; I worked on this the whole day. Bye and laters!
