One or two more chapters left. I know I said that a few other chapters before this one, but I never know 'cause it's like a movie in my head that plays for this story, and I just write it down for you guys. But alas, please read and review, my wonderful readers.

Kairi walked over the fair grounds and over to the teacher's room across it. This time, she made it in about three minutes. Either the pressure of the pictures hurried her up, or the fact that Veronica wasn't there to keep them back with her not wanting to crack her heels. But who would wear heels when they're going to be working in the first place?
Inside the room, she walked slowly to the sink and took out a towel Mrs. Celestial let her borrow a few days ago. Kairi soaked it under the cold water then wringed it out to wipe her face with. She looked into the mirror and her face was back to normal. Now that she had time away from everyone after her dream. The next thing she knew, there was a knocking sensation at the door.
"Hey Kai! You ready?" Sora, once again.
She walked to the door, opened it and answered, "I thought you were going to wait."
"I was, but I got bored of listening to Riku and his talks about Veronica."
"Seriously, he won't talk about her even if it were for his life." She stared into his eyes. "There's something else on your mind, what is it?"
"You know, Kairi, it's really scary when you do that? How exactly do you do that?"
"Stare into their eyes and you'll see what their thinking."
"Ok, so why I'm really here: what's on your mind?"
"What do you mean?"
"'Cause I know you won't tell me about your dream if someone else is there, so here right now? Will you tell me?"
She gave a slight nod and they sat down in Mrs. Celestial's desk. About fifteen minutes later, she finished and Sora looked a bit too surprised.
"What? Like you said, it's only a dream." She accused him for being a hypocrite.
"I'm not a hypocrite… well maybe I am when it comes to this. But I got a few things for you, I'm not a pig, I'll never sell Riku out like that and even if we go to Paris together, what are the odds that we'll see Veronica there too."
"Ok, thanks. At least we died together." The two stood up and walked out the room.
They walked to the stall where Riku was staring into the frames. Apparently, the 'stall' really turned out to be a tent.
"You two lovebirds ready for your pictures?" he asked them.
Sora and Kairi put their arms around each other's shoulders and started laughing.
"What? What happened?" Riku asked.
"Mrs. Celestial told us to tell you that you need to go with Veronica and get more beans." Kairi told him. His jaw dropped in great disappointment.
"But she ate them all, why can't she get them alone?"
"'Cause Mrs. Celestial says you guys look good together." Sora coughed out.
"Even though that's not true." Kairi added in her own that's-way-too-funny way.
"Now go on, friend, Veronica awaits you."
"I hate you two." Mr. Silver Hair said to them. "In fact, I despise you."
Kairi gave out a small giggle. "Which one's worse?"
And Riku gave a growl. "I'm just leaving, I hope you're happy." So he walked away, into the growing crowd of the School Fair.
Another body came out of the crowd, in straight direction towards them. Mrs. Celestial came up and said, "So it looks like you guys finally told Riku about the jellybeans."
Sora and Kairi took their arms off each other. "Yeah, wasn't that hard to do so." The boy said to her.
"He would've fallen for anything if we say you said so." The girl added herself.
Over By Riku's Car:
"Ohhhhhhh, can I drive?"
"My car?" Veronica nods her head like crazy. "Yes." Riku hands out the keys and right before she can take it, he pulls back. "No."
"So do you know where you'll be taking us?"
"Yes."
"Where?"
"There." Riku pointed to a shop that said 'Candy Shop' on the top.
"Oh."
"Yeah." Small talk, literally.
"So are we going to stay on one word sentences for the rest of the time?"
"No."
"Huh?"
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."
"Whatever."
"Exactly." They seriously hated each other. They didn't talk to each other the whole way.
So when they reached the Candy Shop, Riku signaled Veronica to come with him inside. He came up to the register so he can just ask and get this over with as soon as possible.
"Hi! How can I help you and your lady? Are you looking for a box of chocolate for her?" The woman asked.
"Actually, we're not together. We're not even friends. We're just here on a school assignment."
"Oh, I see. A forced date."
"Like I said earlier, we're not even friends. We're here so we can get some jellybeans for the school fair."
"Ok then, how much?"
"(Hidden number here), is that fine?"
"Yeah, about $10.75." Riku gave up the money he gained so unfairly from his mom. It took him about a year to get all that. "You look sad, why?"
He started sniffling in between words. "It took me one year of my life just for all that."
The woman stopped for a second and she leaned forward. "Here, take back seventy-five cents. Tell no one, my dad would be so mad if he found out." So Riku soaked it all up, said his million thanks and left with (hidden number here) jellybeans in the bag.

Haha, I love torturing you guys by saying (hidden number here). It's fun, but it's mean. If I didn't have to hide it, then you wouldn't even have seen that. Oh well, story nearing the end, so enjoy the anticipation while you can!
