Author's Note: Yes, I'm working on this story again - I've finished one of my other ones, so I have time to work on this now. The plot line is pretty long, for me at least. I'm guessing 30 chapters, but could be more. Plus, there's going to be a little contest at some point for a little something, lol. Kairi and Selphie were way to out of character for my liking, so I hope this chapter's better.

Disclaimer: I don't own Facebook (If I did would I be writing this?), Kingdom Hearts or Blitzball. Wish I owned a blitz ball though, they're pretty neat…

Chapter 3

It's not a fair, it's an awesome!

Friday…

Selphie and Kari we're in Kairi's house - in her room to be exact. Selphie was setting up her sleeping bag, talking about the fair that they were going to in the morning.

"And then we have to get cotton candy -"

"And candy apples." Kairi added with a happy sigh.

"And go on all the rides, and play the games, and see the horses, and," Selphie continued with the list of things they had to do, continuing on into the lists of rides she wanted to go on.

Not much had changed since the skate competition early in the week - Sora and Riku said hi to Kairi and Selphie a few times in school, (well, mostly Sora said hi, and Riku just gave a bit of a wave), causing some girls to get jealous. Since the other four went to a different school, they didn't see each other or hang out, but through Facebook they got each others MSN to stay in touch.

Kairi and Selphie did what any teenage girls would do at a sleepover - put on facial masks, watched a romantic comedy while eating (and throwing) popcorn, and stayed up past midnight. They were tempted to prank call some boys, namely Sora and Riku, but decided against it - they probably had caller ID, and Selphie added that Riku kind of creeped her out now that she knew him a bit better.

Kairi had a laughing fit at that - "So many girls think he's cute, and your scaredof him?"

"I didn't say scared!" Selphie said, throwing popcorn at her best friend. "He just creeps me out a bit!"

Around one-thirty the girls went back up to Kairi's room to attempt some sleep - they would have stayed up later, but Kairi's mom was yelling at them to get to sleep if they wanted to go to the fair in the morning.

Kairi had been asleep for what felt like five minutes when she was being shaken awake my Selphie.

"Whatt?" Kairi whined in a half asleep voice. "I feel like I've only slept five minutes…!"

"20, actually." Selphie's voice said. Kairi opened her eyes to see the room was still pitch black - the clock read 1:52 am.

"Why'd you wake me?" Kairi demanded, throwing off her blankets - she felt like a million degrees.

"You were talking in your sleep and sweating." Selphie said innocently. "I thought you were having a nightmare."

Kairi noticed her skin was in fact, slightly damp with perspiration.

"Not again…" She muttered, flopping back on the bed.

"Not again what?" Selphie asked curiously, then jumped up onto the bed, landing on Kairi's knees. Kairi cursed loudly.

"Selphie!!" Kairi hissed, sitting up sharply.

"Sorry…I can't see anything." Selphie scooted to the foot of the bed. "Anyway, what do you mean 'not again'?"

"The past two nights I've been waking covered in sweat and I'm boiling hot - feel my forehead!"

She grabbed Selphie's hand and pressed it against her forehead. Selphie actually pulled back with a light,

"Ow!"

"See?" Kairi said. "It's like I'm on fire or something! And then I usually have really weird dreams too…"

"Weird…" Selphie said, frowning. "Now that you mention it…I didn't want to say anything, in case you thought I was weird,"

"Which you are," Kairi put in.

Selphie ignored her. "But when we went swimming at the beach two days ago, I felt…different when I was in the water. Like I could feel it more…I felt like I could almost control it if I wanted to…the same thing happened when I was in the bath yesterday and the shower today…it's really creepy…"

"Maybe we're having extreme PMS or something…" Kairi said, but failed to keep the fear out of her voice.

"I hope so…"


"Let's get some cotton candy! No wait, Candy Apples! No, no let's go on the Zipper!"

Kairi grinned at her hyper friend - she was kind of scared to see what would happen after Selphie had cotton candy - she hadn't had any sugar yet, but the excitement of the fair had put her in a hyper mood.

"How about we go to the games booth for a bit?" Kairi suggested.

Selphie looked a bit sad they were doing something 'as boring' as the games booth, but Kairi added,

"Then we can get cotton candy."
Which cheered her oddly hyper brunette friend up.

They had only taken a few steps towards the games booth when they saw two familiar faces playing a basketball game - Sora and Riku.

"Hey, why don't we go say hi?" Kairi suggested. "Unless your too scared of Riku." Kairi added mockingly, causes Selphie to give a pout/glare.

"I'm not!" She bravely walked over to the scary Riku, Kairi following behind.

They reached them just as Riku got a basket in.

"Hey guys." Kairi said, trying to sound casual.

Sora smiled at the two. "Hey Kairi, Selphie. How's it goin?"

"Same old." Kairi shrugged.

Riku got another basket, and the man called out (in a very carnival-ish way),

"Jumbo prize! The young man wins a jumbo prize! Which one would you like, Sir?"

"Nice shot, Riku." Selphie said - Kairi smirked, knowing Selphie was trying to prove she wasn't scared of him.

"Huh?" Riku seemed to just realize they were there. "Oh, thanks. You wanna pick a prize? I don't want anything - I was just trying to prove I could beat Sora's score."

Selphie's cheeks tinged pink and she started to protest, but Kairi cut in.

"She'll take the panda." Kairi hid her laugh as her normally hyper friend blushed red as she accepted her favourite animal in a stuffy form.

"You girls been here long?" Sora asked.

Kairi shook her head. "No, just got here about fifteen minutes ago."

"We were the first ones here." Sora said proudly, then looked like a little kid as he added, "We got to go on the rides without any lines!"

Selphie and Kairi laughed while Riku smirked at his friend.

"Hey, isn't that Hayner and Roxas over there?" Riku asked, pointing over their heads to some gun game.

"Yeah, looks like them…let's go say hi!" Sora bounded off towards them, leaving the other three to catch up.

"Damn…he's got more energy then…" Riku paused, trying to figure out what could possible have more energy then Sora.

"Then Selphie after eating cotton candy?" Kairi put in and Riku nodded, giving a light laugh.

"Exactly."

Once they got to the gun tent, they saw it was like a shooting range game, but without the real guns obviously. Roxas and Sora were talking, while Hayner was firing at the bottles, giving a groan of defeat when he ran out of time and didn't get any down.

"Damn! This game's impossible!" He sighed.

"And that's why I won it." Roxas said, waving a little stuffed penguin in Hayner's face.

"Shut up. Your mean." Hayner folded his arms while the others laughed.

"Apparently Naminé's here, too." Sora said. "Roxas said she just went to the washroom - there she is." He added as Naminé walked towards them, looking slightly intimidated by the large group.

"Hey Nam." Selphie said cheerfully. Naminé smiled and returned the greeting.

"Soo…guess we might as well all hang out?" Hayner asked, suddenly over his defeat at losing the game.

"Sure." Riku shrugged. "Funner then all being by ourselves."

Next to the gun booth was a duck one - and who was walking up to it but Olette. The seven teens headed over too her, and she gave a grin and wave.

"Hey! How's it goin' guys? Having fun?"

Hayner seemed extremely surprised by the comment - he was expecting some sort of a cat fight, and was pretty sure at least one of the guys agreed with him.

"Yeah!" Selphie nodded enthusiastically.

"How abut we all grab some lunch? Just let me finish up." Olette said, turning back to the duck game.

"Good luck," Naminé put in sweetly.

You all know the game - there's a pond full of plastic ducks that rotate around the circular pond. You pick up a duck and depending on the letter on the bottom, you get that size prize - S - small, M - Medium, L - Large, and J is jumbo.

Olette was looking at each duck going around carefully, trying to decide which one to chose. Though the air was relatively hot and there was no wind, but a sudden gust of it blew some ducks over, revealing their letters. The second they bobbed back to normal, Olette grabbed the one she had seen marked with a J - the air was completely still again.

Olette took her prize - a giant, green duck, and turned to the others with a slight frown.

"Lucky that gust of wind came." She shrugged it off. "Let's grab some lunch!"

So the eight headed towards the food area, which was just beside the games area. Though all around the fair ground there was ice cream, candy apples and slushy stands, this area had several stands that sold more…food like food. The smell of pizza and hamburgers was enough to make their mouths water. They claimed a picnic table, and each went to get their own food.

After a few minutes, the eight were back at the picnic table, each with their own food, though Sora seemed to have almost a mix of everyone's - a hot dog, hamburger, pizza slice, onion rings and candy apple were on his plate, while a stick of cotton candy was in his hand.

"Where does he put it all?" Selphie muttered to Kairi, eyeing Sora's tiny physic. Kairi giggled and shrugged.

"You know I'm sorry about before." Olette said to the girls.

"You've already apologized online." Naminé pointed out.

"Yeah, PMS gets the best of us a lot of the time." Kairi said.

The boys all stopped eating and stared at them.

"It's called girl talk!" Selphie scowled. "It's not going to eat you or something!"

Olette laughed and hugged her overstuffed duck.

"I still can't believe that gust of wind just happen to come at that second! There hasn't been any wind since - and I was thinking at the second about how I wish I could have seen the bottoms of the ducks…"

Kairi and Selphie looked at Olette, wondering if they dared ask - on one hand, they would sound slightly crazy. On the other hand, they would find out if anyone else had been experiencing the same things.

"Uhm have any…weird things been happening with you lately?" Kairi asked timidly.

"Like…?" Olette asked, biting into her caramel covered apple with sprinkles.

"Oh, I don't know…like weird heat flashes in the night or something?" Kairi asked, trying but failing to sound casual. Everyone was listening to the conversation now.

"No…but now that you mention it, I can't sleep without my fans on."

"That's not so weird." Naminé shrugged.

"Yeah, except that I have four fans, and they all have to be directed right on me when I sleep."

"Okay that's kind of weird." Naminé said. "But I've had weird stuff too - I have the opposite of heat flashes, I wake up in icy sweats and I'm freezing."

The boys stared at them for a second.

"What? You think we're crazy?" Selphie snapped.

"No. Actually I've been having something weird too…Don't laugh, but I can't sleep without the lights on. Like all of them."

Of course, everyone laughed, but tried to stifle it.

"Strange - so four of us are going insane." Naminé said.

"Five!" Selphie chirped in. "I'm insanely attracted to water."

They all laughed at the way she said it, though her face was dead serious.

"Well since Sora admitted his embarrassing secret," Riku laughed at his friend. "I guess I can say mine - I can't sleep unless it's pitch black - like dead black, I have to unplug my clock and turn off my computer, just because it has a green light on the power button that glows."

"Six people insane." Olette laughed, raising her slushy as if to a toast.

"Seven." Roxas grinned and folded his arms. "I get static shocks super, super easy. See?" He poked Hayner's hand, and Hayner jumped when the static hit him.

"Ow! That hurts, you know!" Hayner said, rubbing his hand.

"And it's stronger then a normal shock, too." Roxas added, poking Hayner again.

"Cut it out!"

Everyone looked at Hayner, who was rubbing the spot Roxas poked.

"What?" He asked calmly.

"Come on, Hayner, seven us are insane." Sora laughed. "What have you got to make eight?"

"Nothing." Hayner said stubbornly. "I'm normal."

The seven 'insane' people looked at Hayner doubtfully.

"Fine, but it's not that crazy." Hayner said, cracking his neck back and forth. (You know that thing he does.) "When I wake up in the morning, all the stuff in my room's shifted around, as if there's been earthquakes in the middle of the night - this morning my drawer had actually fallen out of my dresser."

"So we're all declared insane!" Roxas said, and they all laughed.

"No, insane would be if all of this starting happening on the same day." Kairi laughed. Suddenly everyone stopped and stared at each other.

"On three say what day this started." Sora said, as they all stared at each other.

"One, two, three…"

"Two days ago." Everyone said in unison.

They all stared at each other in awe.

"Okay this is actually kinda freaky…" Naminé said.

Hayner shrugged. "Coincidence. When were done eating, let's head over to the rides, okay? I challenge you all to see who can go the longest without puking!"

"Deal!" Everyone said in unison, then laughed.


While walking to the rides five minutes later, the eight passed a band stand. Music was playing, and the girls were trying to remember who the artist was.

"Oh, uhm…I know this…uhhh…Jesse McCartney!" Kairi said, snapping her fingers - then suddenly shrieking, as she saw a spark emit from them. The gang stopped to look at her - she was staring at her hand in slight fear.

"You guys saw that, right??" Kairi asked. The three other girls nodded, but the boy shook their heads no.

"Watch-!" Kairi snapped her fingers again, and a spark appeared again. However, when she tried a third time, nothing happened.

"Probably just the trick of the sun." Riku shrugged, and they continued towards the rides.

"But I swear I saw…" Kairi frowned, staring at her fingers.


After going on about seven rides in a row, Sora was found trying to hold down his lunch.

"Whew - passed! Not the first one out!" Sora said triumphantly.

"Hey guys," Roxas smirked. "They shouldn't call this a fair - they should call it an awesome!"

Everyone groaned and shook their head at Roxas' joke, then started walking towards the House of Mirrors.

"Hey, c'mon, it was a good joke!" Roxas said, then ran after them.

Once he got to the house of mirrors, he instantly realized the others were hiding on him. The main giveaway? Mostly the fact there were at least 12 of each person reflected on all different mirrors, and in different shapes and sizes.

"Hey guys, where are you?" Roxas called out, but the others just laughed and ran around the maze, causing reflections to shift around and some to disappear.

"Guuyyss!" Roxas whined, then started running around trying to find everyone.

Laughter echoed around the house, and shrieks from the girls. Roxas noticed Riku's reflection in one of the mirror's, and saw Riku stumble and suddenly fall with a loud,

"Shit!"

And suddenly, everything was pitch black.

There were screams from the girls, and Roxas spun around on the spot, trying to see something, anything. He wondered if the girl's were screaming from fear, or if something bad had happened.

"Guys! Is everyone okay?" Roxas asked, staying in the same spot.

"Hey!" Hayner's voice called out. "Pitch black in the house of mirrors…someone say bloody Mary three times!"

"NO!" Four girls screamed in unison. Roxas figured everyone was alright, there was just a power failure or something.

A sharp wind rattled around Roxas, causing him to shiver, and wonder how wind got in the house of mirrors. He didn't feel nervous in the slightest, but knew the girls probably did.

Roxas heard someone's footsteps nearby, and asked quickly,

"Who's there?"

Naminé's squeal of surprise met his ears, and with it his skin felt icy cold.

"Just me, Naminé." Roxas said.

"When are the lights going to come on?" Riku's voice sounded farther.

"You're the one who tripped when they went off, maybe you pressed a button or something!" Roxas called.

"Ow!" Sora's voice echoed through the darkness, and suddenly, there was a shine of light to Roxas' right. He blinked - it didn't look like artificial light - it looked like natural, real, white light - and it was surrounding Sora in a white ball. Roxas noticed a cut on Sora's cheek, and Hayner was standing beside him.

"Sorry Sora, I didn't mean to hit you, I couldn't see." Hayner said.

In the blink of an eye, light was suddenly restored to the House of Mirrors.

"Everybody alright?" Sora called.

Riku walked towards them and nodded, laughter on his face.

"What's so funny?" Naminé asked, looking a bit shaken.

Riku pointed behind him with his thumb. "The girls."

Kairi, Selphie and Olette were walking slowly, close together, looking extremely nervous.

"I was only kidding about the bloody Mary thing." Hayner laughed.

"Well don't! It scared us!!" Olette stomped her foot and hugged herself.

"Sora…what was that light around you?" Roxas asked, quickly changing subjects.

"I…don't know. Hayner scared me when he hit me, and there was the sudden light…"

"And did anyone else feel that rush of wind? And the icy air?" Kairi added, and the nodded.

"Guys…something really weird is going on with us…" Selphie said fearfully.

Author's Note: That was fun to write! I like the way it turned out for once. I actually got this idea last August when I was at the fair, trying to win the duck game and get the Mickey Mouse teddy. Anyway, hope it wasn't to long, I was going to go longer. Please review and tell me what you think - too long, to short, just right, doesn't matter, too boring? Give me some feedback : ) And just so you know, all the weird things that are happening are related to their new element powers…
