A/N: Thank you so much for your patience guys. I've had a lot going on in my life (Getting into college to start on my Game Art degree, job searches, and martial arts). I plan on doing a chapter once a week so hopefully, you won't be so long without a chapter again! And, I don't own any characters or places. Random information: Clans have titles for each member; recruit being the lowest in rank. Pwn'd is a game term like you just got your butt handed to you or anything like those terms. And yes, the name of the chapter is a bit of a spoof of Jersey Shore if anyone who reads this knows about that. :P
Chapter 6: The Situations
Sora pulled at his brown hair as he look at the private message Ariae had sent him. Picture? A picture of himself? Oh God.
Riku patted his shoulder. "I'll get the camera." He said with an evil grin. Sora grabbed him before he could even step away from the desk.
"You. Will. Do. No. Such. Thing." Riku pried Sora's hands off of his shirt and shook his head at Sora's crazed expression.
"What's the big deal?"
Sora tear-dropped. "I'm thinking about the Mika-slash-Selphie situation. The Kairi-wants-a-picture-of-me situation is going to have to wait."
"Well tell Kai that." While Sora turned around to do so, Riku tucked his digital camera into his pocket. If his first plan didn't work, he'd make this new one did work, damnit.
"All done. Now, what the fuck do we do about this?" Sora turned in his desk chair to face his best friend and little brother. Riku looked deep in thought, but Roxas shrugged.
"Selphie is a little crazy. Approach her with caution." said Roxas.
"...Or we don't approach her at all." Riku said slyly.
"What are you getting at Riku?" Sora asked, his arms crossed and face serious. He knew that tone of voice. Riku had a plan. Little did Sora know, Riku had not one but two plans for the brunette.
"We let it slide, pretend to not know. This Faeron... We want her to fall for him instead. Two birds with one stone. What do you think?" Riku smiled smugly at his deviant plan.
"That's awesome! That way we can get the annoying people out of the way. Kairi will be mine!" Sora laughed maniacally and Riku joined him. Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Whatever guys. I'm getting back To Lumi and Kai. You two are freaking me out."
"Oh shut up and get your ass back to mining recruit!" Sora mock commanded his brother. Roxas flipped him the finger and went back to his room. Sometimes he wondered if his brother was switched at birth...
Back in Kairi's room...
"Whatdidhesay? Whatdidhesay? What. Did. He. Say?" Namine bounced up and down at the edge of the bed after Kairi sent Sora the private message.
"I got reply! He said... 'I'll see what I can do. ;)' Oh God, what have I done? I'll have to send one back!" Kairi fell out of her chair and had a little mini-freak-out (as Namine had come to name it) on the floor, consisting of pulling at her hair and flailing about.
"Hush Kai. I know the perfect one to send once we get his." Namine stepped over the flailing Kairi and pulled up her pictures on her computer. She picked out the one of her cousin at her house two weekends ago. She was in her favorite outfit: A nice plain black shirt and jeans with her auburn hair loose around her shoulders. She was smelling a flower from one of the bushes in Namine's backyard. Her eyes were looking down the flower in a sense of wonder, and the flower was a brilliant blue which brought out Kairi's unique shining blue eyes.
"This is the one I think you should send." Namine took a step back from the desk and Kairi finally stopped flailing long enough to look.
She squinted then turned back to her cousin. "Are you sure Nami?" Namine nodded and minimized the picture.
"We'll send it as soon as we get his picture. And not until then."
"Oh oh, he sent another message. 'Here's my email: Sora(dot)Strongheart(at)keymail(dot)com' I need to send him mine..."
"Give him the professional one you made for when you give your email to colleges. Not the one you;ve had since you were thirteen."
"Yes Mother. 'Sinclaire(dot)Kairi93(at)boggle(dot)net' And... sent. So much for not sharing private information. Now he knows my last name." Kairi drummed her fingers on the desk impatiently.
"Take a chill pill Kai, and let's play. We know his last name too. Just forget about it for now." Kairi sighed and nodded and dove back into WarScape.
Back in WarScape...
Faeron has joined the clan chat.
Ariae: Hey Fae!
Lumi: Hi there Faeron. I'm Ari's cousin. :)
Faeron: Hello my dear Ari. ;) And hello to you Lumi.
Fainn: ...
Godric: Hey dude. I'm Fainn's brother.
Geir: Everyone's on except Mika... Guess that quest will have to wait.
Fainn: We can't do it without her?
Geir: We need her Fainn... God.
Godric: I agree. We'll schedule it some time this week. What do you say guys?
Ariae: Sounds good to me. It's always good to do something as a clan. :)
Lumi: I can join you guys too. I'll be near a computer next week.
Fainn: Even though I'm the leader... I'm fine with it.
Faeron: Sure.
Geir: Gee, don't sound so fucking enthusiastic Fae. Save that excitement for next week.
Faeron: Lady Ari, can you accompany me while I cut down some trees for my fletching skill? It's lonely here.
Ariae: Sure. I don't see why not. :)
Fainn: Ari, I need you to stay here.
Ariae: But you guys seem to have it under control. Everyone is mining...
Fainn: But... you have the highest mining level out of all of us. You mine faster.
Ariae: You're right. Sorry Fae. :(
Godric: I'll join you Fae. I need to brush up on my fletching anyway.
Faeron: Err... Thanks.
Geir: Cockblocked. xD
Lumi: Can I come along too? I just need the logs from woodcutting. ^^
Godric: Sure! The more, the merrier!
Geir: I love how no one acknowledged my comment.
Fainn: Ha. Ha. Ha.
Geir: :D
Back in Sora's room...
"Hey, Sora. Grab me a soda will ya?" Riku asked as he slid the digital camera from his pocket at angle Sora couldn't see.
"Sure. Just watch my character for me." Sora clicked a few extra times on the rock he was mining then went downstairs to the kitchen.
Riku quickly plugged up the camera and began shuffling through the pictures on screen, trying to find the perfect one to send to Kairi. Even though Riku would never admit it to anyone, even himself, he was excellent at match making. He would have Kairi and Sora falling even harder for each other before the end of the summer. Then they would be planning their wedding.
He finally found what he was looking for. It was one of Sora from a few weeks ago at the county fair. He was wearing comfortable jeans, a band t-shirt, and his favorite torn sneakers. He was leaning over the railing to one of the rides but he was looking right into the lens of the camera with a big grin on his face.
Riku quickly uploaded the picture then stashed the camera right as Sora came back in the room and tossed a cold soda at him. Riku caught it with one hand. "Thanks. Gimme a sec on WS. I need to check my email."
"No problem man."
Riku brought up Sora's email. Of course he knew the password. That's his best friend! And so he sent the picture to the new email that was added earlier. 'Kairi Sinclaire' was the name next to the email address. It had to be the same Kairi from WarScape. After attaching the picture and writing a few lines, Riku sent the email.
"All done. I'm back." Riku smiled smugly as he exited Sora's email.
"Welcome back." Sora said, all his attention focused on the pixeled Kairi.
Back in WarScape...
Lumi: I'm in the Dwarf Woodlands but I don't see you guys. :(
Godric: Over here.
Godric has waved to Lumi.
Lumi: I see you! :D
Faeron: Good evening Lumi. :)
Lumi: Oh cut with the bull poopie.
Godric: Lmao!
Faeron: I'm sorry to have offended you miss.
Lumi has rolled her eyes at Faeron.
Godric: Damn... Pwn'd noob.
Faeron: Sorry Lumi. Honestly.
Lumi: Just keep it real.
Godric: I like your style Lumi.
Lumi: Hehe. Just don't like the whole 'role-playing' thing too much. I feel like it's so fake sometimes.
Godric: I have to agree with you. I'd rather be myself at all times.
Lumi: Same here. :)
Back in Kairi's room...
Kairi looked over Namine's shoulder, smiling like the Cheshire cat. Namine's cheeks began to heat up as she began to realize what was going through her cousin's mind. "Kai, don't."
Kairi stood up on the bed and yelled, "Double date!"
Namine covered her face, knowing she was blushing madly by now. "Oh hush! That's not even funny!"
"Lumi and Godric sittin' in a tree..." Kairi sang as she bounced around and jostled all of Namine's things on the bed.
"Kai! Shut up! I don't even know him that well!" Namine hid her face in one of the pillows she had propped up around her.
"It won't be long Nami, and you'll have your first boyfriend." Kairi ruffled Namine's hair then jumped off the bed. "But I still need to figure out Fainn and Faeron..." She felt a pillow hit the back of her head.
"You're such a WS whore." Namine joked and gave her a wink.
