Author's Note: Here's chapter 10! Read and review please!
Chapter 10: HalloweenI woke up that morning and looked at the calendar the minute I woke up. Thank goodness Halloween was on a Saturday this year. This year was the last Halloween to spend with my friends. I hopped into the shower quickly and started to shower. I turned on the radio. My favorite song came on. I can imagine Sora and I slow dancing to this song. I didn't have time to dream right now. I hopped out of the shower and got changed. I wore a red long sleeve shirt with jeans. Today, I had to go to Namine's hose to help her and Selphie set up for the party. I got into my mom's car and drove to Namine's. My mom was sick today, so that gave her the day off. Plus, we didn't have to worry about her not making money for the day. We had a lot of money. I got out of the car and went inside of her house.
" Hey, Kairi." Namine greeted and let me in. Roxas and Selphie were setting up the fake webs. " I know that you're scared to death of spiders, so you don't have to set up the webs."
" Thanks." I thanked Namine. I grabbed one of the pumpkins on the counter and began to carve it.
" Hey, Kairi." Selphie said cooing.
" What?"
" Namine said she saw Sora last night and invited him and Riku to the party."
" Namine!" I freaked out. " You invited Sora and Riku?"
" No, Roxas did. Why? So, what if you like Sora? You've talked to him before. Oops!" Namine just realized she said that in front of Roxas.
" Kairi likes Sora?" Roxas asked.
" Please! Don't tell him! PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!" I begged in front of Roxas.
" Okay, I won't tell him."
" Thanks Roxas! I owe you!" I sighed in relief.
I went back to carving the pumpkin. I asked Namine how did she want me to do the faces. She wanted them to be scary. I began to carve the eyes to make them scary. I kept on thinking about Tuesday. I can't believe I almost kissed Sora! How embarrassing! I'm still wondering about why he wanted to rehearse the part where Romeo is dead. He wasn't good at pretending to be dead? No offense, but it's easy to play dead. I wonder if he just wanted the kiss or if he just wanted to practice that part. Oh well, I just kept quiet and continued to carve the pumpkin.
" Kairi? Are you okay?" Namine asked putting a hand on my shoulder. " You've been awfully quiet for the past 20 minutes."
" I'm just…thinking."
" About Sora?" Selphie teased.
" Maybe." I blushed. " I was thinking about Tuesday."
" When we saw Sora at the pretzel shop?" Selphie asked.
" No, when I saw him after we shopped."
" What happened?" Namine asked.
" Well, he asked me if I wanted to rehearse lines with him, I said yes. So, we go into my backyard, and he suggests practicing the ending where Juliet kisses Romeo before she kills herself. So, here I am holding Sora's head while he's pretending to be dead. And then, comes the kissing part, and I almost kissed him." I explained. Selphie fainted and Roxas caught her before she hit the floor.
" You WHAT?" Selphie yelled.
" I know. But the thing that makes me wonder is why did he want to practice the ending?" I asked.
" I think Sora likes you." Roxas answered.
" Did Sora say anything about liking Kairi?" Namine asked Roxas.
" No. Well actually, he never said anything about liking Kairi, but he talks about her a lot."
" Really?" I asked blushing. Sora, talks about me? Am I dreaming? " I wonder if he's a good kisser."
" He must be if he's hot." Namine answered.
" Hey! I thought I was the hot one!" Roxas whined.
" No, you're the fat, stupid one, with a big mouth." Namine laughed as Roxas pouted. " I'm kidding!"
I grinned when Roxas laughed with Namine. I was so happy when they became a couple. Later in the day, we all got into our costumes and put make-up on to make us look scary. I put on white make-up for my face, outlined my eyes with black, put on mascara to make me look evil, I put bright, red lipstick on and then put in the fake teeth that my costume came with. Selphie was wearing a wig and put on a bunch of scary make-up. Namine was going out as Larxene from our favorite sitcom, "Organization XIII." (A/N: I made that TV show up!) Roxas went out as Darth Vader from Star Wars. By 5pm, Riku and Sora arrived. Riku came as Captain Barbossa from Pirates of the Caribbean and Sora came as a vampire too. Namine lowered the lights and let the glow-in-the-dark decorations come to life. The music turned on too.
" Now, let's party!" Selphie yelled and threw up a bunch of candy. " Woo!"
I walked around a bit and danced with Namine and Selphie for a few minutes. I looked into my pocket and realized…I couldn't find the car key! My mom will be pissed if she finds out I lost her car key! I got onto my hands and knees and went crawling around for the car key. I crawled under the table where the food was set and somehow ran into someone I like.
" Kairi?" It was Sora! What was he doing under the table?
" Uh, Sora. I can't talk right now, I'm looking for…something." I started freaking out, but calmed down when he held up a key. " My key! Where'd you find it?"
" Over near the bathroom. I guess you dropped it when you went to change into your costume."
" Uh, yeah. I guess I did. By the way, I really like your vampire costume. It's so unique. It's not like other vampire costumes."
" That's because I handmade it."
" You're good. Hey, if we have kids, I mean if you have kids, then you can make clothing for them." I blushed in embarrassment. That's when I realized we were still underneath the table. " We should get out of here."
" Right." Sora agreed and we got out from underneath the table. " Oh, and what did you mean by, 'if we have kids?'"
" Oh, you see, about that…" I struggled. " I made an error in my saying."
" Okay." Sora grinned. I looked over and heard Namine announcing karaoke.
" All right everyone, time for karaoke! How 'bout we have our vampires tonight sing for us first!" I knew Namine was doing this on purpose. Selphie pushed me to where we could sing. I took a microphone and looked at the song we were going to sing.
" Riku! I can't sing!" Sora whispered to Riku. Namine turned on the CD and the lyrics came on. Sora began to sing.
Sora: Livin' in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Kairi: I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
Sora: Ohhh
Kairi: To all the possibilities, ohhh
Both: I know…
Kairi: That somethin' has changed
Both: Never felt this way
Kairi: And right here tonight
Both: This could be the…
Start of somethin' new
Kairi: it feels so right
Both: To be here with you…oh
And now, lookin' in your eyes
Kairi: I feel in my heart
Sora: Feel in my heart
Both: The start of something new
Sora: Ohhhh, yeah
Now who's of ever thought that…um
Both: We'd both be here tonight…yeah
Kairi: Oh, yeah, the world looks so much brighter
Sora: Brighter, brighter

Sora: By my side
Both: I know that somethin' has changed
Never felt this way
Kairi: I know it's for real
Both: This could be the…
Start of somethin' new
It feels so right to be here with you…oh
And now…lookin' in your eyes
I feel in my heart the start of somethin' new
Sora: I never knew it could happen
'Til it happened to me
Ohhhh, yeah
Both: I didn't know it before
Kairi: But now it's easy to see
Both: Ohhhh

Sora: Feel in my heart
Kairi: The start of somethin' new
Sora: The start of somethin' new
Kairi: The start of soemthin' new
Sora: Somethin' new
The others clapped when we finished the song. I glanced at Sora. He was a good singer. Why didn't he sign up for Choir class or why didn't he ever audition for musicals for drama? I walked over and sat on one of the chairs and drank some punch. Sora came and sat next to me.
" You know, you did really well." I grinned.
" Thanks. You did too."
" Why don't you ever tell people that you can sing or why don't you ever audition for drama?"
" You see… it's because I thought that everyone would think I'm weird because they say I'm the Blitzball dude. The only reason I auditioned for Romeo and Juliet was because…Kairi, I…" Sora began to say something, but Riku came and interrupted him. " I'll talk to you later.
" Okay."
Late at night, I got changed and drove home that night. I was so exhausted. I walked into my room and got into bed immediately. I kept on thinking about Sora and I singing tonight. I sighed and fell asleep.
Author's Note: Phew! That chapter took me FOREVER to write! Review please!
