A/N: Sorry for the long wait...I have a BUSY LIFE outside of writing fanfics and I hope you all understand that...

...Anyways...

Alright! Here's the chapter when all the boys get mad and decide to try and break one of the girls' study groups with Satoshi. Will they succeed?

Is Love Joy or Sorrow?

Chap. 23 Operation: 'Get our Girls Back'!

"WHAT!" Roxas could not believe his ears.

"That's right!" Namine' smiled, "We have that huge science test tomorrow, remember?"

"But...but what about our...date?"

"Oh, well...I was thinking, if it's alright with you, that we could wait to do it until later tonight."

"B-But...we were going to start it now."

Namine' laughed, "Don't worry. I'll be sure to make it up to you."

Roxas couldn't help but frown, "...Namine'..."

She leaned up to give him a quick peck on the lips and assured him, "It'll be okay. We're just studying, you goof."

"I know," he admitted defeat, "Well, you have fun with that..."

"Okay!" she waved, "See ya later, I'll give you a call when we're done!"

"Yeah...bye."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"She did what?" Riku was a bit surprised.

Roxas nodded, "Yeah, and by the look on her face, it seemed like she didn't even care about our date at all."

"Kairi did the same to me earlier..." Sora sighed.

Tidus exploded, "See! I told you this was going to happen! They've been caught under Satoshi's 'spell' and don't even notice us anymore!"

"Aren't you taking this a little TOO far?" Riku suggested.

"No! Don't you feel the same about Natalie?"

"Well, I-" he stuttered for a bit, "I...I guess...I'm somewhat jealous."

"...and I think it's time for some sweet revenge, boys! Don't you?"

"Revenge?" Sora was puzzled, "How?"

"We just turn the tables on them and make them jealous instead," Tidus grinned, "It's brilliant!"

"I don't know..." Roxas rubbed his chin in thought, "What girl could we find who would help us?"

"Uh-well...I'm not quite sure."

Tidus' plan wasn't quite perfect yet, but the next day at school everything would fall into place.

...or so it seemed.

A long-haired brunette walked down the school hallway with her head down in despair.

Sigh..."I'm never going to pass my English test tomorrow..."

Suddenly four boys popped up in front of her, making her scream.

"Eeeep! Who are you guys?"

"Hey," Riku greeted, "You're new here, right?"

"Um...well, yeah, I came here about two days-"

Tidus interrupted, "We overheard that you were worried about a test. We could help you out!"

"Oh...really?"

Roxas and Sora both nodded, "Of course!"

She grinned, "Thank you very much!"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Okay, boys..." Tidus said in a scheming tone, "It's time for 'Operation: Get the chicks back!"

Sora sighed, "Can we just do this already?"

"You got it!" he rang the girl's doorbell.

She opened the door, having her backpack on her shoulders and ready to go.

"Hey, boys!"

"HI!" they all greeted.

Once in the car and driving toward their destination, the girl asked them, "So, who's house are we studying at?"

"We'll head over to mine," Riku answered, "But first..."

Sora continued, "...we'd like you to meet our girlfriends, if that's okay."

"Um...all right!"

This is perfect! Everything's going according to plan, Tidus thought to himself as a huge grin spread across his face.

This whole time, Roxas was feeling a bit uneasy, Namine' is gonna kill me for this!...But, I have to fake that I'm happy about it...it's the only way we can do this...

"Here's Kairi's house," Riku pulled in the driveway.

Once they all were by the doorway, Sora volunteered to ring the doorbell.

Kairi answered the door, of course, "Sora! Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Sorry to interrupt your guys' study group, I brought the whole gang here."

"Um..."

They all came in, the girl included. Namine' and Natalie were in the room, but Satoshi and Selphie weren't.

"So...where's your study partner?" Tidus asked them all.

"He went to get some snacks in the kitchen with Selphie," Namine' answered.

"Oh..." Don't freak out Tidus...keep your cool...they're coming right back.

It was Roxas' turn next, "Hey, have you guys met?" he asked the girl.

"It's nice to meet you all!" she smiled, "I've seen you around school before. I'm new there."

"Yup," Riku added, "...and we're going to help her study for tomorrow, since we know what to expect from the teacher's and all."

"All of you?" Kairi asked.

Sora nodded, "Of course! The more people helping her, the better!"

Kairi was feeling quite awkward...and a bit jealous as well. The other girls were a bit confused, too.

"Oh!" the girl almost forgot, "...How rude of me. I forgot to mention my name. I'm-"

"RISA?" Satoshi had come back with Selphie.

Risa looked over at him, "Hiwatari!"

She ran up to him and hugged him, "I had no idea you were here!"

All the others' mouths gaped open.

"You...you know him?" Tidus questioned.

"Of course!" Risa replied, "We go to high school together in Japan."

Satoshi continued, "And we were both planning to be foreign exchange students."

"But we never knew we'd end up being in the same place. This is a great surprise!"

"At first I didn't want to, knowing I might not see Risa for a long time, but now I guess that's changed."

"Hiwatari?"

Satoshi looked down at Risa from hearing his name, "Hmm?"

"I missed you," and with that, she leaned up and kissed him on the lips.

"WHAT!" Tidus frowned, Could this plan get any worse now?

"Yeah...greatplan you had, Tidus," Riku told him sarcastically.

"Plan? What plan?" Selphie looked at them suspiciously.

"Well...that is...oh boy," Tidus looked down in defeat.

Selphie was about to start asking questions when-

"Hey, girls," Satoshi spoke, "I think I'll help Risa with her studying. I'm sure the guys can help you all out just fine."

Natalie was one in shock, "But, wait...I thought-"

"Well...it's just as I thought," Riku crossed his arms.

"What are you talking about?"

Namine' asked, "Why are you guys acting so weird?"

"You ruined our anniversary date!" Roxas snapped back.

"Always hanging out with your study group and not me!" Tidus told Selphie.

Sora glanced at Kairi, "We don't go on many dates anymore. I never see you around!"

All the boys faced away with disgust.

"We...didn't mean to hurt you," Natalie spoke up.

"Please. Can you forgive us?" Selphie pleaded.

The guys didn't respond.

Kairi got an idea and had a mischievous smile, "Girls...you know what to do."

They all nodded, spun their boyfriends around, and locked lips.

After pulling away, the boys grinning in satisfaction all said, "WE FORGIVE YOU!"

A/N: It's cheesy, I know XD I was running out of ideas heehee
