Chapter 2: Many Meetings

Lucil woke up bright and early, already to meet up with her new friend, only to realize that she hadn't asked her brother yet. She got dressed and quickly ran down stairs to find her brother unpacking some more things. "Nicolai?"

"Yes Lulu, what can I do for you?" he asked with a concerned look on his face. Any time she would start a question with his name it almost always meant trouble.

"Well there is this kid I met at the beach who wants me to go to that island across from it, to meet some of his friends and play..."her voice seemed to trail off as if she already knew he was going to say no.

"And you would like to know if you can go over there, am I correct?"

"Umm...well, yeah. So can I? Oh please Nicolai, please please please. You know if I don't I'll be the saddest girl in the whole world. You know that right Nico? Oh please can I go?"she pleaded as if it was her last day alive.

"Well I don't know..." he said sarcastically."Okay, but be home before it gets dark, you hear me?" demanded Nicolai.

"Oh yes thank you thank you thank you! I love you so much Nico. You're the best! I can't wait till Riku gets here. Oh thank you." dashing out of the room she continued to thank him until he could no longer hear her.

Sigh "Some things never change."

Later...

Riku finished eating lunch and decided to head over to Lucil's house to see what her brother had said. Not knowing that she had an early breakfast and an early lunch.

Lucil's house...

Lucil sat on livingroom couch patiently waiting for Riku to show up...when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it, I'll get it!" but Nicolai beat her to it.

"Yes can I help you?"

"I'm here to see Lucil, is she home?"

"Move it Nicolai." pushing past her brother. "Go unpack some boxes or something. Hey Riku, guess what? I can go." she said bursting with excitement.

"Whatever. Have fun and be back before dark. You hear?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I heard you the first time. Come on Riku, let's go!"

"Okay, stop pulling me!"

Sigh "Kids." said Nicolai as he went back into the house.

On the beach...

"So how do we get there?" said Lucil.

"By boat silly. Duh!"

"Oh right. I knew that."

"No you didn't!"

"Yes I did. How did you know what I was thinking?"

"Whatever."

On the island...

"Come on Sora get up. Riku's coming and he said he's bringing someone new here." said the small little red-headed girl.

"Really? It must be that girl we saw to days ago."

"What girl?"

"Oh yeah you weren't with us that day. We saw some new girl with some older guy in white. They were talking with the mayor. We heard him welcoming them to the islands. They must be new here. Just think Kairi, now you have another girlfriend to play with. That must be who Riku's bringing!"

"Who's Riku bringing?" said a strange yet familiar voice from behind Sora, which caused him to jump five feet into the air.

"Hey don't do that!"

"You had it coming to ya."

"Hey Riku. Who's this?" said Kairi.

"Oh yeah. Sorry, this is Lucil. She and her brother just moved here."

"Hi." She said a little shyly.

"Hi Lucil. I'm Kairi, and this fool is Sora."

"Hey I heard that. I'm no fool."

"No, your not a fool." said Riku sarcastically.

"Thank you."

"Your just annoying."

"Say that again."said Sora indicating a challenge.

"Is that a challenge?" Everyone burst out laughing, and when it finally died down Riku spoke up again. "Hey Lucil, why don't you show them that locket you showed me?"

"Yeah. You guys have to see this." she took off her golden locket and opened it once again to reveal a small, but bright white flame.

"Wow!" they said in unison.

"Where did you get that?"Sora said bursting with excitement.

"My mom." Lucil answered.

"Where did she get it?" Sora continued to ask.

"I don't know. She gave it to me when I was a baby. I guess...I never really asked her." She closed the locket and held it in her hand, as a quick image of her mother flashed in her mind. Her mother was just like her, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful smile.

"Oh yeah. Riku did you introduce Lucil to Selphie and them?" Kairi interrupted.

"No."

"Well we should. Let's go!" Kairi ordered.

"Yeah. Me and Tidus have a match today, and I'm gonna win!"

"A match? A match for what?" Lucil broke in, curious to learn what they were talking about.

"Our battle skills of course! I guess Riku didn't explain that either." Sora said with a little anger in his voice.

"Hey, I haven't known her that long! We didn't have that long to talk."

"It's okay, I can learn." Lucil said trying to stop a oncoming fight.

"Come on. I'll tell her on way over." The group of four walked to the other side of the island, to a cliff for Sora's match. Riku and Sora were arguing over who would win, while Kairi explained matches to Lucil, who quickly understood.

"Wow, that sounds like fun!" Lucil said enthusiastically.

"It is fun! Hey maybe with a little training, we can set you up for a match soon!" Sora answered her.

"Okay! So who's gonna train me?"

Silence...

"Well, I guess I could do it. If that's okay with you Lu?" Riku spoke up.

"Great! Just one thing, don't call me 'Lu' it sounds like a guy's name."

"Right, sorry."

They continued to walk until they reached a familiar Brunette(I guess), red head and dirty blonde boy, known as Selphie, Wakka, and Sora's opponent Tidus. Selphie was looking out at the sea, and Wakka was playing with his blitzball and coaching Tidus for his match.

Kairi ran over to Selphie, dragging Lucil along with her. "Selphie, come here."

"Kairi hi!" Selphie answered.

"Selphie, I want you to meet someone. This is Lucil."

"Hi." Lucil said happily.

"Hi, I'm Selphie. That kid over there, with the red hair, that's Wakka. The blonde kid is Tidus."

"Hey guys!" Lucil said aloud.

"Hey." they answered in unison.

"Alright. We're done with intros, let's fight." They took their positions, while the others watched and cheered from the sidelines. Sora was grinning, in the usual way. While Tidus looked more serious. The match was about to begin. You could see the sparks fly.

(A/N: This reminds me of Mortal Kombat a little.)

"Come on Sora, show him who's boss." Riku cheered.

"Tidus, focus! Don't lose control, ya!" Wakka stated.

"This is so exciting!" Lucil said, not taking her eyes off them, until Riku spoke up.

"There are a lot of exciting things here." Riku said smiling at her.

They watched as the fight went on. Sora landed a few good blows, but Tidus was always there to get him back. Sora faked him out, and WHAM!!! right in the stomach. Tidus flew back in the air into the oncoming waves. He was defeated. "Owww!! That hurt Sora. Why'd you hit me so hard?"

"Hey that's how the game's played. You're a sore loser." Sora said as he did his victory dance. All he could hear now were the congratulations from his friends.

"Way to go Sora, nice match."

"Good job."

"Nice moves."

"Why thank you my lovely fans! You know I would never disappoint you. Now who wants an autograph? Oww!" he said after Riku whacked him upside the head.

"Don't get so cocky. You have a match with me tomorrow. Remember?"

"Oh yeah I forgot about that, champ."

"Yeah Lucil. Riku is the champion of all of us. He never loses!" Stated Kairi.

"Really?" she said astounded.

"Yeah. Cool huh?" Riku said.

"Yeah!" Lucil answered.

"Hey guys. It's almost time to go. We'll see ya tomorrow ya? Selphie, Tidus, let's go!"

"See you. Nice meeting you Lucil." said Selphie.

"Yeah bye." said Tidus.

"Bye!" Lucil said as she waved goodbye to her new friends.

"Hey let's go watch the sunset, I promised Lucil." Riku said breaking the silence.

"Sure let's go!" They walked over to their usual tree on the cliff and looked out at the ocean, and the sunset. The sun was half way set so that the sky was lit up with the brightest colors of yellow and orange to pink and purple, to the darkest shade of blue. From the opposite side you could see the moon rising, with some stars already out. The four friends sat on the tree trunk gazing at the sun.

"You were right," Lucil said looking down at Riku, "the sunset here is amazing."

"Told you so."

"I never said I didn't believe you."

"Whatever."

"Hn." Sora and Kairi just sat there and laughed at them, and the laughter continues.

A/N: I have to say, I liked this chapter a lot better than the first. That one was more of an intro. This one had more "love connections" hint hint, or does it? jk please R&R. Peace out!

Sneakpeak: Chapter 3- Where the bond began and ended

"I sure miss those days." Riku stated.

"Me too." Riku turned around to see the beautiful golden blonde haired girl walking up to him. "What are you doing out here by yourself?" she asked.

"I was just thinking about stuff...past events...the fact that your leaving."
