CHAPTER 23

getting better and better

"Fine I'll try, but not yet…" Selphie gave in.

"Good!" Olette smiled.

Selphie turned her head to Olette and grinned, "Don't think you're going to get out of talking to Hayner tonight at the bonfire!"

Olette sighed.

"Oh Namine!" Kairi chanted, "Let me do you hair!"

"Why?" Namine asked raising an eyebrow to her friend.

"Why?" Kairi started, "Because you've got such pretty blonde hair! Please let me do your hair?"

Namine shrugged, "Sure, whatever."

Kairi giggled and got to work, softly brushing Namine's hair.

"Hey, what time does the bonfire start?" Selphie asked.

"2 hours!" Olette smiled widely, "I can't wait!"

Selphie grinned, "I Already know that."

Olette blushed, "I don't mean Hayner."

"Jeez," Kairi complained, "Enough bickering! I'm hungry, so how about be get out of this old dorm building and get some ice cream?"

"What about my hair? You can't just leave it half done!" Namine pouted, crossing her arms.

"How's a quick pony tail?" Kairi suggested.

Namine shrugged, "Sounds good."

As soon as Kairi was done, they all grabbed their wallets and left.

They all bought their own ice cream and sat down together at the table under the big tree.

Olette smiled wide and licked her ice cream, "I love strawberry!" she giggled.

"What's the point of having sugar if it tastes like healthy food?" Selphie shook her head in wonder.

"Hey, I like strawberry too!" Kairi huffed.

Selphie shrugged, "I just don't get it!"

Olette giggled some more and held out her strawberry ice cream to Selphie, "It's delicious! Here, try some!"

Selphie made a sick face, "Gross, like I would ever!"

Olette frowned at Selphie and pulled it away from Selphie, "You're never going to like it if you never try it!"

Selphie stuck her tongue out at Olette and the others just laughed.

"I like chocolate!" Namine giggled and licked her ice cream.

Selphie smirked, "I say Vanilla is the best!"

"You like almost anything with sugar in it!" Kairi laughed.

"Don't you think you've picked on me enough!" Selphie whined.

"Not really!" Olette crossed her arms.

"You're just angry at me for picking on you!" Selphie laughed.

"Of course I am! It's a never ending marathon with you!" Olette snapped.

Namine and Kairi covered their mouths, "Uh-oh! Olette snapped. Better watch out Selphie!"

"Watch out for Olette!" Selphie smirked and pointed at Olette, "That Olette?"

"Will you just shut-up?" Olette stood up and clenched her fists unknowingly.

Selphie stood up in front of Olette and made a girly girl pose and waved her hands in front of her face, "Oh Hayner!"

"What?" Hayner asked walking up to the girls.

Olette squealed in shock and 'accidentally' punched Selphie down to the ground. Not knowing what she just did, she awkwardly laughed and waved.

"Damn! I didn't know you had a back bone!" Kairi exclaimed.

Namine laughed hysterically, "This day just keeps getting better and better!"

Hayner laughed awkwardly, totally bewildered, and scratched the back of his head.

"Wh-what?" Olette made a strange face and looked down on the ground in front of her, and there was Selphie; rubbing her face and looking up at Selphie as if she where asking 'was-that-just-you?'

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Olette got down on her knees next to Selphie and tried to help her up.

After she was helped to her feet, Selphie just kept rubbing her face muttering, "Ow…Ow…Ow…"

Namine still couldn't stop laughing and had to use Kairi's shoulder so she wouldn't fall down.

Kairi looked behind her at Hayner and smiled, "Come to watch the show with us?"

"Uh, Nah…That's okay, "Hayner laughed awkwardly slowly backing away; "I just came to say hi…uh, bye!" And with that he took off in the opposite direction.

"Hayner…" Olette sighed, and then scowled at Selphie.

Selphie wide-eyed her and backed up a bit, "Don't look at me! You just slugged me!"

Olette sighed deeply and sat down, "Now he thinks I'm a freak."

"No he doesn't!" Kairi assured reaching across the table and patting Namine on the shoulder.

"What are you girls still doing here?" A long brown-haired tall man said from behind the group, "It's 30 minutes till the bonfire, don't you girls think you should be putting up your tents and getting ready for the bonfire down by the lake?"

" Leon!" Kairi clapped, "And where have you been this whole time?"

Leon rolled his eyes and sighed, "I was home.->sleeping. But old-man-Cid called and obviously can't handle you campers by himself."

"Well, it's good to see you again too!" Selphie crossed her arms.

Leon took one look at Selphie and laughed, "What happened to your face?"

Selphie huffed and pointed at Olette.

Leon clapped his hands and laughed more, "Good job!"

"H-hey!" Selphie pouted.

"It Yuffie here too?" Kairi asked.

Leon nodded, "Yeah, but anyway, you girls really better get going!"

"Wait!" Olette stalled him, "Not before you meet Namine! She's new and just moved near us in twilight town!"

"Yeah, great. Nice to meet you, bye." Then Leon shook his head and walked off.

"Ignore him; he's just not in a good mood. He's cool." Selphie assured the confused Namine.

"Now that you've meet Leon, wait till you meet Yuffie!" Kairi smiled.

"Yeah! Yuffie and I are like soul twins! We do everything the same!" Selphie grinned widely.

"Oh god…" Namine sighed, "Another Selphie…"

"Yuffie's still cool, don't worry!" Olette assured.

"Hurry up!" they heard Leon shout from a distance at the boys.

"We better go get our tents set up and stuff now!" Olette laughed awkwardly, "Wouldn't want to get on Leon's bad side!"

With that, they spent the last half-an-hour to get their tent and set it up; they all decided they'd just share the over-sized tent Selphie bought. When they were done, they put their sleeping bags inside and thought they'd help Leon finish piling up the wood for the bonfire.

"Stupid, old hag!" Leon complained, "He makes me do everything! I shouldn't have even come!"

"Well, we're happy to see you!" Kairi laughed.

"Where are the boys?" Olette asked.

Leon pointed to the two large tents over in the opposite direction, "They're sharing those tents over there. They went to go help Yuffie gather…" Leon sighed, "Gather the sugary foods and soda."

"Uh-oh!" Olette, Namine, and Kairi laughed.

"SWEET!" Selphie exclaimed.

Leon simply rolled his eyes and threw the last piece of wood on the tall pile of wood that would be burnt for the bonfire.

"Finished!" Kairi threw her hands up in the air and they all cheered.

"Yay!" Namine squealed.

"Finally!" Selphie danced in circles.

"Great!" Olette squealed next to Namine.

Leon slapped his forehead and went off to find Cloud and Aerith, the couple Yuffie dragged along with her.

"Girls…" Leon moaned, already knowing it was going to be a long four days till camp was over.

"I wonder if everyone else came too!" Selphie jumped around.

"Who's everyone else?" Namine asked.

"Well-" Selphie started but was interrupted by Kairi.

"Cloud and Aerith! Only the cutest couple ever! They're also close friends of ours!" Kairi smiled.

"So you're all friends with Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Cloud, and Cid?" Namine questioned.

"Right! Except for Cid, he's too old!" Selphie laughed.

"How'd you meet them?" Namine asked.

"They go to school with us, and normally help out around camp every year." Olette told.

"They still go to school?" Namine asked surprised.

"Yeah, they're in tenth grade, one grade above us! Except for Leon, he's in eleventh grade." Kairi told.

"Alright, I get it now. No more questions!" Namine smiled, glad she was feeling less confused.

"It's finally getting dark enough for the bonfire! We should get our flashlights, just in case!" Olette told. They all went and got their flashlights and sat next to their tent, which was about 10 feet from the pile of wood for the bonfire, and waited for the everybody to show up.

"Yay! We're here!" Yuffie shouted from a distance with a box full of sugary food in her arms, "It's time to get this bonfire started!"

To be continued!

A/N: That was fun to write! I had a lot of fun with this chapter! My original plan for this chapter was for the bonfire to start right away and talk about Olette seeing Hayner and Selphie talking to Tidus, but I guess I'll have to save it! I also didn't plan for Leon, Yuffie, Cloud, and Arith to show up till Another story 2, but oh well! I guess it's better and more fun this way! I HOPE YOU LIKED IT! I sure had lots of fun writing it! Enjoy the last chapters until Another story 2! Buh-bye till the next update!

Oh yeah, that reminds me, the top reviewer of chapter 22 is (may I have a drum role please?): FlowerLady-Aerith!
