Just the Four of Us

by PoH07

"Besides Kairi and Riku, there was one other girl I was friends with. The four of us played together all the time!" A mixture of drabbles and short stories set in a canon divergent AU, about the misadventures of Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Naminé while growing up together on Destiny Islands.

Chapter 5: Movie

"Sweetheart, I'm begging you, don't go swimming!"

"Relax, Lizzie! For the last time, there's no such thing as a kelpie!"

"Oh no, oh no, the bad music's starting!" wailed Naminé, diving under the blanket that she, Sora, and Riku were sharing.

"Was that its tail? Guys, I think I saw its tail in the water! THE MONSTER IS COMING!" Sora screamed.

Riku refused to scream or cry. He was the leader of the group, after all, and the sleepover was being held at his house. Watching the movie without their parents' permission had been his idea. He would maintain a brave face in order to keep his friends calm and he would certainly not let a silly movie scare him…

The kelpie's ghostly head sprung from the waves and lunged for the foolish teenager floating in the water.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!" Within seconds, Riku had joined his friends under the blanket.

Needless to say, their first sleepover did not involve much sleeping.
