Chapter 6: Gossip Girls
Kupo3.0: So, how's the cookie?
Passerby: -munch munch- so… good… what's –lick- the frosting?
Kupo3.0: Ah, it's made from real oranges
Passerby: Oooh… -chew-
Kupo3.0: So… while you're currently intoxicated with the happiness of cookies, I'll ask you: what's your name?
Passerby: Mmm…oh, uh, showblwpaphlkjda –bite-
Kupo3.0: Damn it, stupid thick frosting!
Disclaimer: I own Passerby and the cookie… and gum….its minty! What, Kingdom Hearts? No, sadly, it's not mine yet. Not enough duct tape.

Selphie was laying on her bed, twisting the ends of her hair around her finger in an attempt to get it to flip in like a normal person's. But then again, she thought as she accidentally kicked the phone off her bed, nothing in her life seemed normal anymore.
When she heard a knocking at the door, she shot up and ran to get it. She didn't want her mom to get it and try to have a half hour greeting with Tidus: she needed to talk now.
Opening the door, Tidus looked shocked at his friend. In all her yellow pajama and bunny slipper glory, she tugged on his arm and dragged him to her room faster than lightening.
After being pushed into a chair, Tidus looked up at Selphie with a confused expression. She hopped on her bed and sat Indian style, clutching her elbows.
Tidus turned the chair to face her a little better and asked, "Selphie, what's going on? You're freaking me out here."
Selphie rocked back and forth with her nervousness.
"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone, okay? Anyone! It's a secret, but I'm so confused, and my head is killing me, and I just need a friend to help me make it out, alright?"
Tidus apprehensively looked at her and questioned, "Are you going to be okay? I mean, I'll do what I can, but…"
Selphie, "Oh my gosh, thank you Tidus! You're the best. But as far as being okay… I don't really know, I mean, I need to talk to Sora more and"
Tidus clenched his jaw and started to get up while saying, "What did he do to you, I swear, I'll kill him!"
Selphie had to push him back down and explain, "Nothing, he's great. But this is kind of about him.
Selphie took at huge breath and said, " I think that Sora saved the galaxy and traveled to different worlds to fight off the Heartless and rescue Riku and all life from losing their hearts, because the island vanished and Riku was swallowed by darkness and Kairi's a princess of heart so all the bad guys wanted her light and they kidnapped her, but then Sora teamed up with a duck and a dog to search for them, and they met up but these bad dudes in black cloaks showed up and screwed everything again so they had their memories fixed and saved people, but since Sora's memory got fixed everyone that knew him had their memories changed and something with the island totally vanishing ended up with us not remember these two years that they were gone correctly and protecting the intergalactic world order."
As she stared Tidus in the face, he was lucky to be sitting because otherwise his legs would have given out. If she had a camera at the time, the photo of his face would've been worth millions. But now wasn't the time to think of get rich quick schemes.
-xXx-
Selphie sighed after talking to her friend for two hours about the plausibility of the situation.
Tidus swallowed to wash down all the saliva that had built up from his gawking.
Selphie tousled her hair and said, "Well…?"
Tidus stood up and walked to the doorframe, leaning against it while saying, "Selphie… I think you're crazy, or gullible. Either that or they're crazy… as in, psycho, not normal, okay?"
Selphie looked at him with pleading eyes, "Tidus, I thought, I thought you'd understand… I just needed to talk with someone, and"
Tidus cut her off. "And nothing Selphie. I'm not going to turn you in cause you're my friend, but seriously. These guys need help. Professional help. Hell Selphie, I can't believe they'd suck you into this crap. But there's something wrong with such an elaborate story. They're freaking crazy."
Selphie jumped up and grabbed his arm, "You can't tell anyone."
He shook her arm off while saying, "I won't tell about you, but I'm definitely saying something."
He ran towards the front door and Selphie trailed after him, pleaing, "Tidus, wait."
He was walking backwards on the sand shaking his head while yelling out to her, "There's only one word Selphie, and it explains it all: mental!"
His figure passed the corner towards the beach, leaving the girl crushed in her doorway staring down at her bunny-clad feet.

Kairi rose from bed, rubbing her head. She heard loud voices last night, but other than that her sleep went undisturbed.
She hummed as she got out of the shower. Peeking out a window to see the weather, she saw sunshine but also a new person on the beach.
Ramming herself into slip-on sneakers, she bolted out across the beach to see who the person was.
Sitting with her arms wrapped around her legs looking at the ocean (which was surprisingly rough that day), the girl flipped her long hair, revealing a friendly yet pristine face. Clad in a flowy white tunic over a swimsuit, she turned towards the redhead sprinting across the sand.
"Konichiwa (A/N: sorry about spelling XD)," the girl smiled at Kairi, flicking her hair back out of her face.
Kairi leaned forward with respect towards the elder girl replying, "Konichiwa."
There was a brief period of awkward silence, but it was long enough.
The new girl chuckled and said, "I can speak English too, I didn't know what you all spoke."
Kairi sighed, "Okay, phew. I've forgotten a lot of my Japanese, so, uh, arigoto."
Squinting through the sunlight, the new one cocked her head and said, "So, you got a name there, red?"
Kairi rapidly responded, "Oh, yeah, sorry, I'm Kairi. I'm guessing you're new here. Don't worry, you'll fit in when school comes, it's not for awhile though."
The other replied, "Oh, ha, you think I'm in high school don't you? Sorry, I'm a little older than you, 20. By the way, name's Mizuki."
Kairi giggled while explaining, "Oh, oops. Yeah, I'm almost sixteen, not that much of a difference."
Standing around for a minute or two, Mizuki was tying back her black locks while joking, "So, aren't you going to fill me in on the important stuff here? Guys, friends, beach? Or are we just going to sit here and be formal all day?"
Kairi smiled and said, "Of course… you're really nice Mizuki. C'mon, let's get in the water. Lesson one: we live in the water here, you'll be needing lots of swimsuits."
Her beautiful laugh rang out while pulling off her tunic. "Okay then, we can go shopping too. Score, first day and I already have a friend to tell me about boys AND take me shopping."
They giggled while working their way into the waves that were large, crashing, and adventurous.

Kupo3.0: Ta da! Sorry it took a week XD As penance, here's my superheyigot17reviews fireworks! -large fiery explosions-
Passerby: -with tongue still glued- Shawhkolnof brekdornkob
Kupo3.0: You make no sense.
Passerby: -whining- Nofkopshnorkdot!
Kupo3.0: Ugh! Am I ever going to know your name!?!?
Author's Note: That's a real question at the end there. I'm not sure whether to reveal the name I've selected for Passerby. I've heard that some people like the mystery of the random sketchy girl while others have been waiting for this. Let me know in reviews! Thanks much -
