"Your personalities; The fact that you're nice, funny, kind and adorable. So, it makes you a girl's dream." Kairi said starting her in-love voice again.
"Wait, you didn't put smart? Are you saying I'm dumb?" Sora questioned her back.
"Oh, I forgot. You're smart too."
"And you call me forgetful."
"You are, but you still are smart. Remember that time where you forgot your combination to your locker."
"But then I remembered I had it sewn into my pockets!" He yelled in defense.
"And to remember, you have to forget."
They reached inside the hallways where Tidus and Wakka were talking about blitz ball again. Riku and Selphie were in the nurse's room because he hurt his hand trying to tap her on her shoulder while she was jump roping really fast.
"So, they're together now, mon?" Wakka said in his accent.
"Wanna go in to see? Or just stay and watch?" Tidus asked with great excitement.
"If we go to talk to them, they won't act normal, probably. Let's just stay out here so that we'll see what really happens."
"Well Sora, science is up next. Want to get our books now?" Kairi asked.
"Sure! Let's meet back here when we're done." He answered. So the two split up, going their opposite directions since their lockers were apart. Kairi's locker was past the pool door while Sora's was by the art room. The two boys saw them split, and saw a chance to ask a friend what was happening.
"Sooooooooo, Sora. You and Kairi together now?" Tidus asked him as he practically jumped over the boy.
"Tidus! You gotta stop doing that! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" he yelled back.
" Aw nearly. I was trying to really give you one." Wakka and Sora just stared at him. "Ok, ok. I was kidding. So are you going to answer my question?" The blonde and the orange haired boys turned their heads to face the brunette.
"Yes, I will."
"Theeeennn."
"Then I answered your question. See, it was 'Are you going to answer my question?' and I did!" Sora said cheerfully.
But as for Tidus, his voice turned into his father's, who was a military captain, "Seriously now, boy."
"Ok, ok, just don't go stricto-o-mano on me. I said I love her, but she said she wouldn't tell me until the School Fest tonight. Sucks, I know."
"Yeah, when the fireworks explode!" The other boy staring once again, for the military uptight boy, is suddenly talking about fireworks. "What? What're looking at me for?"
"Nothing." They were able to manage their laughter.
"If you think I'm funny for suddenly talking about fireworks, then you're dumb. See, if Kairi is going to tell Sora at the School Fest tonight, and there's gonna be fireworks—"
"Yeah but how does this relate back to fireworks?" Sora interrupted.
"Yah, mon. Get ta da point!" Wakka joined in.
"Ok, but a great story takes time. Let's see, hmm," He turned around and started to go through few files he kept in his bag. Sora and Wakka tried to lean over and see what he was doing. "My confidential, 'kay? So here it is. Fest files, entertainment, fireworks, and… fireworks engineers. Kairi is friends with—"
"— Selphie and Alyssa."
"When did she become friends with Alyssa? Whatever, back to the subject. Both girls know how to work fireworks and they're gonna be shooting them."
"So Kairi might ask them to put a special show for you Sora. Aw how romantic!" Wakka said. But he never spoke of romance like that, which made his sentence sound really weird.
"Again, whatever. So tell me now, what do I do?" Sora asked.
"Just wait 'till the fest. The time will come." The other boys said in unison.
Outside In the Field and Pond:
"So this is where the fest is going to be Mrs. Celestial?"
"Yes Kairi. And you see the that big empty gap in the flower bed?"
"Yeah. What about it?"
"That's where the porch swing is going to be. You know, the one you donated to the school so we could buy one."
Kairi and Mrs. Celestial were conversing about the Fest and where everything is going to be placed. A few of the kids were setting up the stalls, while others were looking over the fireworks and making sure they were safe. Kairi, Veronica and a few other people from her crew were in charge of contests.
"So I hear you and Sora together now?" Veronica finally asked Kairi in her content voice.
"Hey, I haven't heard you like that since… well, ever!"
"Yeah I use a lot now though. So are you going answer my question?"
"Ok, yeah we…aren't official."
"What! I'll tell you what, we'll block off the swing for you guys, ok?"
"Huh, no you don't have to. We're not that important that you block off something for us."
"Honey, de nile is in Egypt. But we're in America right now."
"Hey, I told that! And I'm not in denial. So how much jelly beans are in the jar?" Kairi said and asked.
"Huh, I thought you were going to count them!"
"But if I don't know, and you don't know, how are we going to know who would win?"
"There's only one way Kairi." Veronica said real glum.
She Kairi got down on her knees and begged, "NOOOO! Not that last resort! We know we put over 1000!"
"Kairi, I don't want to do this also, but just think, it's for others, not us."
"Fine, fine, fine. But if anyone asks, we're making sure that's the number." Hence that, the girls opened the jar, took out the beans, and started counting.

Hey sorry guys if it took me a while to update, had too many parties to go to. So thanks for reading even if it sucks. It tells a lot of what going to happen in later chapters, I think. Hehe, I got Veronica and Kairi to be friends, and I got them to start counting beans! Oh, and see if you can guess how much beans there are. Here are some clues: more than 1000, but less that 1500. It's an odd number but if you add all the numbers together, it equals eight. First person to get the closest or on top wins… just wins. But you have to review if you want to enter! See ya then!
