A/N: Yay! I'm glad you all liked the last chapter! I liked writing it!

Hee hee, my friend Kim's still mad at me for putting her in my story as a bad person. She still can't stop saying, "I can't believe you did that!" At first, when I told her she'd be in my story she got all exited then I told her she ended up being Riku's ex-girlfriend and she couldn't stop telling me how unfair I am. We like to laugh about it from time to time.

Anyway, I'm still happy you liked the last chapter! Since I was only updating once a week I made the chapter twice as long as it normally would be. REMEMBER TO REVIEW! Thanks! On to Chapter 25!

CHAPTER 25

I LIKE YOU

They didn't care that they were too tired to reach their tents. That night was the most magical night in their lives, and even though they knew they were never going to hear the end of it from Selphie in the morning, at the moment they didn't care. All they need was each other.

So that's how the night ended for them, falling asleep on the sand in each others arms. It was so perfect.

The next morning was surprisingly COLD! It had Selphie up so early she surprised herself. Sure, Selphie was always the first one up, but come on! 5:00a.m. was just ridiculous!

And to make matters worse, everyone but her had a sweater!

Why me? Selphie thought to herself before sitting up in the tent.

She crawled over to Kairi and shook her back in fourth, "Kairi! Wake up!" She whined.

"Ungh…Shut-up, Selphie." Kairi moaned, pushing Selphie away.

"But I'm soooooooo board!" Selphie whined more.

"Entertain yourself, don't wake me up." Kairi mumbled before falling back asleep.

Selphie sighed and sat there for a while, thinking up stupid ideas for what she should do. It was too early to eat anything, and on top of that she'd already eaten EVERYTHING. Waking up Yuffie was a bad idea, a really bad idea. And the water was probably freezing, so that took away the idea of swimming.

Selphie gave up; there was nothing to do at 5:00a.m. in the morning. Not a thing.

She wrapped a small blanket around her shoulders and laid back down, in a poor attempt to fall asleep. It didn't work very well.

Her mind drifted off into space for a half an hour. She must've thought about everything. She thought about friends, her favorite T.V. show, going back to school, how camp was this year, what they would eat for breakfast, how cute Olette and Hayner looked together, ext.

She'd never really thought so much in her life, she never got a chance too. Sure, she must've have a million chances during summer on destiny Island, but Tidus and Wakka would always pull her away from what she was doing or she'd pull them away from what they were doing.

The girly probably wouldn't be very happy with Selphie in the morning. Selphie, for some reason, avoided Tidus the entire time last night, even though the girls pushed her about it constantly.

She sighed in the blanket. Tidus probably thought she hated him for taking her first kiss like that. The only time she'd even been near him since then was when Pence was taking a picture of everyone.

Then a sound coming from outside the tent snapped her back into reality. It sounded like someone was there, someone very noisy. She was surprised Namine and Kairi didn't wake up, and who knew where Olette was.

Then the noise came again. It bugged Selphie so much that she got up, taking the blanket with her, and peaked her head outside of the tent only to come face-to-face with Tidus.

"Tidus?" Selphie questioned in a shocked tone, she wasn't expecting to find him.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I woke you up…" Tidus looked shocked too.

Then Selphie noticed he was hiding something behind his back, and she grinned, "What do you have?"

Tidus looked even more shocked and continued to hold whatever he had behind his back, "It's nothing! I just… found a cool looking rock is all."

"A rock?" Selphie rose an eye brow at him, then grinned, "May I see it?"

"No!" Tidus answered simply, tightening his grip on the so called 'rock' behind his back.

"Why not?" Selphie pouted, it was now becoming obvious that it wasn't just a rock.

"Because…It's mine!" Tidus defended.

"Lemmie see it!" Selphie said before jumping out of the tent and o top of him. They landed on the ground just outside the tent with Selphie on top of him. In fear of the thing behind Tidus's back getting crushed, he threw it to the side before they hit the ground.

But before Selphie could realize it was right there for the taking, all she noticed was just one thing. She was on top of him.

They both blushed deeply before Tidus pushed her off softly, "Don't do that!" Tidus whined, and then realized he'd thrown the thing that was behind his back and Selphie could grab it if she wanted too. But before he could get to it, Selphie was already sitting up sight with it in her hands.

Oh god… He thought grabbing his head and blushing deeply. She wasn't supposed to see it yet!

Selphie just sat there for a long time with it in her hands a Tidus watched in horror. Although, he thought the shocked look on her face was kinda cute.

In Selphie's hands was a square, black box with the words To Selphie from Tidus on it.

"Please don't open the box yet…" Tidus pouted, but Selphie ignored him.

She lifted the lid to the box slowly and set it down next to her as she looked inside the box. The box was filled with assorted chocolates, each one was different and they were all Selphie's favorites. Every kind of chocolate she liked was in there.

Then she noticed the note tucked neatly in the side. It was almost completely hidden, Selphie almost didn't notice it.

Selphie's eyes glittered as she looked back at Tidus and smiled. He smiled weekly back at her, "Heh heh, surprise."

He noticed that she hadn't read the note yet. Good, that meant she probably didn't see it in there. That was what he hoped for too, he hoped she'd be too distracted by the chocolate the see the note.

But he was wrong, she saw the note and it was the first thing she took out of the box when she looked back down at it.

Tidus could only watch when she unfolded the note. Her eyes continued to glitter as she read what it said;

Hey, Selphie,

I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to take your first kiss. Honestly, I feel really bad about the whole thing. I guess it was my fault; nobody should be blaming it on Hayner. Although he could've pushed a little lighter! Anyways, I just thought I'd make it up to you buy getting you all your favorite chocolates. I made a list and Yuffie went back into town to get them for you. You can thank her too, I guess. It's funny how I know all your favorite chocolate, huh? I hope it doesn't make me sound like a stalker, or something lame like that. The truth is…I don't know how to tell you but…I LIKE YOU……A lot. Sorry about the sloppy writing, I hope you can read it.

From Tidus.

P.S. I meant everything I wrote.

"Wow…" Selphie whispered to herself. This sooo made up for that stolen kiss, and what better way to tell her than with a note and all her favorite chocolate! It was hard to believe in was Tidus that did all this. But that didn't change fact, he still did. And she was grateful, for everything.

Tidus sat down next to her and sighed deeply, "You weren't supposed to see it yet." He complained.

"Oh, Tidus!" Selphie cheered and jumped back on him after setting the box down.

"I told you not to do that!" He complained more as she hugged him tightly as they laid on the ground for the second time.

"I like you too, Tidus!" Selphie told as she hugged him tighter. He smiled hearing her happy words and hugged her back, although he was nearly being crushed under her.
