I've been super busy, getting ready for school and all, so that's why I haven't updated in a while. School starts tomorrow for me and I am actually pretty happy about it. It gives me something to do, other then writing this fanfic :). So, I figured that I would update before I go back to school.

Chapter 3
One week after Naminé moved, things started calming down. Riku was still upset though. Everyone, including Tifa was hanging out at Roxas's house. Tifa had been staying with Olette because she told her parents that she was on a school vacation for 10 days. Olette's parents were nice. They never questioned why Tifa stayed with them, which was somewhat unusual. Everyone was sitting in Roxas's front yard, talking about random things.
"So…Tif, have you ever tried doing DDR?" Selphie asked.
"No…but it sounds fun." She exclaimed.
"It is! Kairi is like the master so she can teach you. By the way, it stands for Dance Dance Revolution." Selphie explained.
"Hold on!" Roxas yelled, running around the house. 5 minutes later, he came back. "Follow me!" He ordered and once again, ran around to the back of his house. When Tifa saw Roxas's backyard she gasped.
It's so big. She thought.
" I set DDR up in the cabana." He pointed toward the tent like structure. They started walking in but stopped when they heard a splash. Pence, being an idiot, had walked on the edge of the pool. Hayner had pushed him in when he wasn't looking. Everyone but Pence was laughing hysterically. He spit the water out of his mouth and climbed up the pool latter, His clothes clung to his wet body. Pence walked by Hayner, who was laughing with his eyes closed and pushed him in.
"Ooops! Silly me. I must have slipped." He growled. Hayner came back up coughing.
"Hey! NO fair! I didn't make you cough!" He pouted.
"That's because I had enough common sense to hold my breath." Pence said running into the cabana. Hayner growled and got out.
"I call playing against Sora!" Kairi yelled and pulled the brunette up.
"Kai, you know im not good at this!" Sora whined as the music started to play.
"Suck it up. We're doing this to show Tifa how to play." In a matter of minutes they were dancing. Kairi grinned at Sora. He was definitely loosing. Finally it had ended. Sora was panting and Kairi was fanning herself. The two were watching the scores.
"Kairi you got an A!" Selphie squealed. "And Sora you got a…C. Well, they can't all be good." Selphie sighed.
"HEY!" Sora glared at Selphie who simply shrugged. He sat back down still sending Selphie the death glare.
"Tifa, want to try?" Kairi asked.
"Sure!" She stood up and stepped onto the mat. "I think I get it." When the song ended they watched the scores.
"Kairi you got another A!" Selphie squealed again. "And Tifa you got a B…on your first try?" She gasped. "Even I don't get B's when I first start out!"
"She beat me?" Sora went wide-eyed.
"Ha ha! You got beat by a girl!" Tidus laughed. Seeing is that he was sitting on the back of the couch, Sora pushed him off.
"Ow!"
"Actually, he got beat by two girls!" Olette chuckled. Sora now sent her the death glare. She stuck her tongue out at him.
"Sora, your just a sore loser!" Roxas poked him.
"Am not!"
"Are too!" Kairi, Olette, and Tifa said.
"Am not!"
"Are too!" Selphie, Tidus, and Roxas said.
"AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!" Hayner, Pence, Riku and Wakka yelled.
"Forget it!" He grumbled. "Anyway, it's your turn Selph!" Sora said pushing her up. They all took turns for the next few hours. Soon it was 6:00pm.
"We have to go Tifa." Olette looked at her watch. She nodded and stood up.
"Thanks for showing me how to play!" Tifa called over her shoulder.
"Your welcome!" Kairi yelled.
Hayner ran up to them. "I'm coming with…that is if you don't mind."
"Not at all." Olette smiled.
Sunday"Tifa, Olette! Look!" Kairi shoved a paper in their faces. Tifa grabbed it and read it.
DDR Competition
Sunday June 18th, 2006
12:00 PM
North Destiny High
Winner gets to bring 3 friends
And compete in Twilight Towns DDR Competition.
"Kairi you could win this for us! We could see Nami!" Olette squealed.
"I know!" She yelled. The 3 jumped around. Selphie then ran up.
"I take it Kai showed you!" She laughed.
"Yep!" Tifa said.
"I say we all try out, that way, we have a better chance to win!" Olette suggested.
"Do you doubt my winning?" Kairi placed a hand on her heart and acted like what Olette said, hurt her. Olette rolled her eyes.
"Oh my god! You guys, its almost noon!" Selphie yelled, looking at her watch. It read 11:55.
"We have to run if we want to submit our names." Tifa started running. The others followed. They had just made it.
"Let's move people!" Tifa shouted, watching the slow pokes run up the stairs. They put their names in the box and sat down in the auditorium.
"Welcome folks to the 3rd annual Dance Dance Revolution competition! Who ever wins this will go on to compete in Twilight Town. We will randomly select people's names out of this box. First up are Tifa and Yuna!" The two stood up and shook hands. They stood on their mats and started the song. Yuna ended up getting a C, while Tifa got a B. "The next two are Kairi and Selphie!" They shook hands and stood on their mats. Two hours later it was down to Kairi and Yuffie.
"DON'T LET HER WIN!" Olette screamed from her seat.
"COME ON KAI!" Selphie and Tifa tried to start the wave, but they were told to sit back down. It was all up to Kairi. The scores started rolling. Everyone stared at it. When they stopped, they both landed on A's. Now…it was the judge's call. Kairi and Yuffie gulped.
"Well, both Kairi and Yuffie did excellent, along with most of the people who tried today. I'm going to have to choose…Kairi!" He yelled giving her a trophy. Olette, Selphie, and Tifa ran up to see their friend.
"We get to see Nami!" They shouted. The judge handed her an envelope.
"Thanks!" Kairi said. "I'm taking you three with me." She hugged them.
"When are we leaving?" Selphie asked.
"It says here, next Sunday" Kairi said referring to the card that was in the envelope. "The competition is on Monday night and we stay until Wednesday." Kairi read.
"I'm going home right now to tell my parents!" Selphie ran out the door.
"Same with me. Are you coming guys?" Olette asked.
"Yeah." Tifa walked down the steps and she and Olette started walking but stopped when they noticed Kairi wasn't with them. Kairi thought she saw chocolate spikes, out of the corner of her eye.
"Hello? Earth to Kai…you coming?" Olette waved her hand in front of Kairi's face.
"Nah…I'll catch up later though."
"Okay, Bye!" They waved and ran home laughing. Kairi turned around and was face to face with Sora.
"Oh my god! Give me a heart attack why don't you." She growled.
"Sorry." He laughed. "I saw you win the contest. You were really good." She blushed.
"You saw?" Kairi stated more then asked.
"Yeah, but I can't believe your not taking Riku on your trip!"
"Oh that's right! Sora, this is going to sound a little mean but do me a favor and make sure he doesn't know!" Kairi begged.
"Why?"
"Because he'll be heart broken and I have a plan." She smirked. Evilly.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Well, what is your plan?" He asked.
"Operation: Bring Naminé home."
"You really think you can bring her back?" Sora asked, doubt drowning every word he just said.
"Of course I can! I think…"She sat on the school steps. Sora did too.
"I'm sorry Kai. I'm sure you will bring her back home. Oh, I won't tell any of the guys either."
"Thanks." Kairi hugged him. Her cell phone beeped. It's a text from Olette.
Come to my house now!"Olette wants us to go to her house. Come on!" Kairi said, pulling Sora along with her.
Olette's House"Kairi! I got an email from Naminé! Read it!" She pushed her toward the computer.
Hey Olette, guess what? My parents are letting me move back home because they think im so miserable! (Which I am) But…there are a few conditions. 1. You guys need to pick me up. 2. I need to stay with one of you and 3. Behave. (Sighs) Please don't tell Riku! I really want this to be a surprise! I have to go now. Talk to you later!
Love Nami
"Well Kai, looks like you don't need that plan of yours after all!" Sora laughed.
"This is perfect though! I can ask my mom if she can stay with us, which will be a yes, and we're going down there anyway, because I won that contest!" Kairi yelled.
"This is awesome!" Olette said, rereading the letter just to make sure it really said she could come home.
"We get our friend back!" Selphie jumped around.
"She can help me with my problem again!" Tifa exclaimed. The others looked at her. "What?" She asked.
"How long do you think you have before you parents figure out that you're not on a school vacation?" Sora asked. Tifa frowned. She sat on Olette's bed.
"Not that much longer. It's already been 8 out of the 10 days, but knowing them, they will just forget. Speaking of vacations. Olette and I can go with you Kairi."
"Same here!" Selphie said.
"I'm pretty sure I can go. I just need to make sure. I'll ask when I ask about Naminé living with us." Kairi said. "See you later." she called. Walking out of the room.
"Wait for me!" Sora yelled, running after her. The 3 others shook their heads.
"Sora is like a lost puppy." Selphie sighed.
"You just figured that out?" Olette joked.
"I wonder when they will get together." Tifa said.
"Yeah, it's obvious they like each other." Selphie replied, looking at her nails.
"That's not all that's obvious. What's up with you and Tidus?" Olette asked.
"Nothing much…except he asked me out last night!" She smiled.
"Oooh! You two make a cute couple!" Olette squealed. Tifa wasn't the type to 'squeal' but she tried and her voice cracked. The other two burst out laughing. Tifa scowled.
Walking to Kairi's house"Sora…this is random but what do you see in the future?" Kairi asked out of sheer boredom.
"That was random, but I see Naminé moving back, us finishing 10th grade, and you and me together." Sora closed his eyes. He hoped he didn't sound too stupid. Kairi's eyes widened.
"What?" She asked and turned around to face Sora. His cheeks were bright red. He had enough courage to repeat it though.
"I said I see you and me together." Sora smiled. Kairi did too.
"Same." She sighed and hugged him. He hugged back. Sora looked down at her. She looked up at him. Their faces grew closer and then their lips met. A few moments later they parted.
"Uh…well, c'mon. We're here." Kairi dragged him in her house. "Hey mom?" Kairi called out.
"Kairi? Hello. Oh, Hello Sora."
"Mom, you know how Naminé moved to Twilight Town?"
"Yes."
"Well her parents are letting her move back here, but she needs a place to live. Do you mind if she stays with us?"
"Why of course not! You know Naminé is always welcome to stay with us."
"Great! We just need to pick her up." Kairi said.
"In Twilight Town? That's three hours away." Mrs. Mitsuki frowned.
"But this is where the fun begins. Remember that DDR competition earlier?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I won it. The prize was that you get to compete in Twilight Town. So while Olette, Selphie, Tifa, and I are there, we'll just pick her up and bring her home when we leave."
"I suppose you can go. When are you leaving?" Kairi handed her the card
"Next Sunday. Oh dear."
"What?"
"I can't drive you." Mrs. Mitsuki said.
"That's okay. Olette's mom is driving."
"Okay. Your father and I will set up the guest room."
"Thank you!" Kairi yelled, hugging her mom. The two ran outside. Kairi then called Olette.
"My mom said it was okay. Naminé can stay with us!" Kairi yelled, causing Olette to pull the phone away from her ear.
"Awesome! I'll email Naminé back, telling her we'll be there next Sunday. K, I'll talk to you later. Bye!""So, what do you want to do?" She asked Sora.
"We could go to the beach." He suggested.
"Okay. Let me go change." She ran back into the house. 5 minutes later she appeared with her pink two-piece on and a towel in one hand. "Are you going to your house to change?" She asked, looking at his shorts.
"Nah, besides, these are swim shorts."
"Okay…and your towel?"
"I'll take yours." He said, grabbing her towel and running to the beach. Kairi shook her head.
"Now you're going to get it." She mumbled running after him.
Okay, to tell you the truth, I didn't really like this chapter. I did like the ending though. I was kind of at a loss of what to do, so my friend gave me the DDR idea. Next chapter we go to Twilight Town, so watch for it. BTW: Thanks for the reviews! They're what keeps me writing this story. Oh and sorry about any spelling mistakes you see. I checked it as best as I could, because I was kind of in a hurry.
