Author's Note: Yay! It's finally time for the gang to go to Mexico for Spring Break! I might put more RikuxSelphie moments in this part of the story than SoraxKairi. Sorry, but you know what they say, "save the best for last," but I might put SoraxKairi moments. Anyway, review, and if I put Spanish in this part, inform me of any mistakes I make, I'm only in Spanish 2. Enjoy!

Chapter 20: Bienvenidos!

I tapped my foot impatiently on the floor as I waited in line to check-in at the airport. I've been standing there for like, 15 minutes. How long could it possibly take to check into an airport? I sighed in relief when it was finally my turn. It was about time! I have to hurry or I'll miss my flight. I had the guy put my luggage on the machine that moves your luggage. (A/N: I don't know what the machine's called!) Once he gave me my airline ticket back, I walked over to the waiting room where my friends and the rest of the class that was going waited. I took a seat next to Selphie and turned on my I-pod. I started to listen to Jesse McCartney's new song, "Right Where You Want Me." (A/N: Just to let you know, I'm CRAZY for Jesse McCartney!!!! Don't sue please!)

" Hey, Kairi." I looked and saw Sora take a seat beside me. " Cool I-pod."

" Thanks. What form of entertainment did you bring?"

" Most of my mangas and my PSP. Did you want to sit together on the plane? We don't have assigned seats."

" Sure." Sora? Asking me to sit with him? This is so far the best Spring Break in my entire teenage life.

" Kairi, is that Jesse McCartney you're listening to?" Selphie just heard what I was listening to.

" Yeah."

" Oh! Let me listen." I gave Selphie the tiny earphones and then she squealed.

" Um, okay. I think you've had enough of Jesse for now." I blushed with embarrassment and took the I-pod back.

After waiting for about an hour, at 7:30 pm, the plane finally arrived and began to let us load onto the plane. I grabbed my backpack and followed the others through the hallway and into the plane. We walked through the first-class seats and then went into the normal seats. I took a seat next to the window and then Sora sat next to me. Everybody on the plane then did what you normally do when the plane takes off. Eventually, the plane people shut up and finally made the plane take off. It seemed so exciting! I haven't been on a plane since I was 16, when my mom took me to China for my 16th birthday. The bummer about this plane trip was that it was going to take about 11 hours to get there. (A/N: They're flying from Japan.) Oh well, that means more time with Sora.

" Kairi, check this out." Sora said as he showed me something funny in one of his Naruto Mangas. " Funny, huh?"

" Yeah!" I couldn't stop laughing.

2 hours later

It was on going 9:30 pm. We're scheduled to land at about 6:30 tomorrow morning. I grabbed on of the pillows and blankets that came in the plane. I leaned my head on Sora's shoulder and fell asleep for the night. I felt Sora's head rest on mine too. I guess you could say that we fell asleep on each other.

The Next Morning

I woke up the next morning and saw that we were just landing in Mexico City right now. It looked so cool just from the plane. Sora looked amazed too. As the plane finally landed, I gathered my backpack and stood up as soon as they allowed us to. It's going to be so nice once we get to the hotel. I hope that the hotel has a pool. What good is a hotel without a pool? My point exactly. Sora began to walk in the corridor and I followed him and walked through the hallway and into the airport. This was so cool! Everything was in Spanish! During our tours, our tourist will speak in Spanish and then my teacher will translate it to English.

" Hola, tu eres atractiva." My friends and I watched Riku flirt with a Mexican girl.

" Como te llamas?" The girl asked.

" Me llamo es Riku, y tu?"

" Yo soy Marissa."

" Riku! Come on! We have to catch the bus to the hotel!" Roxas called Riku.

" Adios." Riku said as he walked over to the rest of us. I saw as Selphie looked like she was getting a little pissed off.

" Selphie, you look like a steamed vegetable. Are you all right?"

" Yeah, I'm fine. It's nothing." Selphie said even though I knew she was lying.

I followed the rest of the class to the bus stop where the bus will take us to the hotel where we'll be staying at for the trip. After about a fifteen minute ride from the airport, we finally checked into the hotel. No wonder we had to raise so much money, this hotel looked awfully fancy. They said it was one of the fanciest hotels in Mexico City. My teacher then divided us up into our hotel rooms. I was sharing a room with Selphie and Namine was sharing a room with Olette. My teacher gave Selphie and I each a card key for our hotel rooms. I grabbed my bags and we took the elevator to one of the top floors. The rooms looked so nice when we got there. There was a balcony just outside our room too! This is such a nice hotel room! I dropped my luggage and plopped onto one of the hotel beds. There was a knock on our door.

" Who is it?" I asked.

"It's Sora, I was just wondering if you and Selphie wanted go to the pool they have. Me, the guys and Namine are going."

" Sure we'll be down soon. Come on Selphie, we're going swimming."

" All right!" She agreed.

We changed into our suits and walked down to the pool. It was such a big pool. It was so big that it could fit everyone in there at once and there were about 50 students that went on this trip. I took off my towel and got into the pool. It was cold, but not too cold. We swam for about a few hours and then got out because I was getting all wrinkly. Plus, I wanted to see the town.

Selphie and I went back to the rooms and got changed into our clothes. We then met Namine and Roxas outside of the hotel. The four of us began to walk around the town. It was pretty interesting and a really nice place. Mexican people kept on greeting us. I guess it was because we came from Japan and they might've been interested in meeting Japanese people, especially that one girl Riku flirted with at the airport.

" Hey guys! Wait up!" Riku called from behind.

" What's up?" Roxas asked.

" Can you believe it? We're in the land where people invented spicy, cheese enchiladas!"

" Is that the whole reason you came on this trip was for enchiladas?" Selphie asked.

" No. I also came because I heard that there were a lot of hot girls here in Mexico."

" Oh well, hey, where's Sora?" I asked looking around.

" He's back at the room. He said he needed time for 'thinking'."

" Well, who cares? Come on, let's get enchiladas, I'm starving!" Namine said pulling on Roxas's hand.

" All right then, enchiladas it is!" Roxas agreed.

" OH YEAH!!! MY FAVORITE!!!!" Riku went nuts and ran to the restaurant we were going to.

Sora's POV

I'm so confused about my feelings right now. I can only just stare at the ceiling and think about my feelings for Kairi. I'm not sure whether it's love or just a crush. I've had crushes on girls, so I know what it feels like to have a crush on someone, but I 've never felt this way about a girl before. It's like, Kairi's perfect. It's like, she's the one for me. It's like, I don't like her, I love her. It must be love then, if it's not a crush, it's love. I stood up and walked outside the balcony of my room and just stared out into the bright, blue sky. I didn't expect to kiss her at the pep rally, but it wasn't real either. It was an accident. A girl like Kairi deserves a magical first kiss. I want to take her out on a date tonight, but what am I supposed to do. I want this to be the perfect date for her. I turned my head and saw Riku walk in with a styrofoam box.

" Where've you been?" I asked as I lay back on my bed.

" Out at lunch. I brought you back some enchiladas." Riku said handing me the box.

" Ah! Riku I need help!"

" Are you struggling with your emotions again?"

" Yes I am, but I also need some other help!"

" What's up?" Riku asked as he put the enchiladas in the little fridge we had.

" I want to take Kairi out for the perfect date tonight, but I don't know what's a "perfect date" for a girl. Come on, Riku! You've dated millions of girls! Tell me what a perfect date is!"

" I know this is going to sound strange coming form me, but the perfect date is a date that comes from your heart. Don't take her out on a date. Plan a date. Make a special dinner for just the two of you under the stars at night. It's perfect! It's romantic, relaxing, and it's free. You don't have to buy anything! Oh, don't forget candles so she can see your pretty face."

" Make a date?" I had no clue how to "make" a date. Whenever I would take girls out, I would just take them to a movie. " So, how do you do that?"

" That's the whole point! Make it the way you and Kairi would want it! Plus, I can't help you anyway, I have date preparations to make."

" Who's the girl this time?"

" Marissa, that girl at the airport. I saw her at the restaurant and asked her out. So, she and I have a date tonight. Good luck with yours though." Riku said as he walked out of the room.

" Thanks." I just sat there on my bed staring at the ceiling. What would Kairi want as a perfect date?

" Kairi…" I muttered to myself.

Author's Note: Ooh, what's Sora planning for Kairi? How is Selphie going to accept the fact that Riku likes another girl? Find out next chapter!
