The movie went for about three hours and at the end of it, Kairi's hand was sore and Riku's hand sweaty. They had eaten so much junk food that Riku actually wished her could eat some vegetables.
"Is anyone else CRAVING something healthy?" Sora asked, lying up-side down on the couch, clutching his stomach. Kairi, who was on the floor, groaned and Riku burped. Sora stood up, "I'll take that as a yes."
Kairi rolled over onto her stomach, "Want some help Sora?" Sora shook his head but Kairi followed anyway. Riku sat on the couch alone and started to clean up the pillows. He propped them all neatly on the couch, making sure they were all equal. When that was done, he stepped into the kitchen and saw Kairi slapping Sora's hand away as he tried to take the food from the platter Kairi was making.
Riku crossed his arms, "I thought you were meant to be making the platter, Sora." Sora looked up, not noticing Riku's presence. Kairi was madly chopping at the pineapple.
"Sora can't make the platter because he doesn't even know what this is." She held up a banana sending a loud laugh thorough the house from Riku.
He looked at Sora, "Well if you can't tell what a banana is," He waved the piece of fruit in front of Sora, "Then of course Kairi should be making the salad." The trio sat there for some time, watching Kairi set up the platter that was about to be destroyed by health-hungry teenagers anyway.
"There, finished!" Kairi help up the platter which was so beautifully prepared that Riku was thinking about not eating it. Despite the beauty of it, Sora grabbed a handful of fruit and shoved it all in his mouth. Kairi flicked him on the fore head, "Don't be such a pig!" She hid the plate from Sora and offered Riku some. He smiled and took some pineapple and strawberries.
"Hey guys! No fair!" Sora jumped off the seat and ran around to Kairi and Riku where they all began to really eat too quickly for their own good. When they had finished, Sora put the plate into the sink and clapped his hands, "What do you guys want to do now? Kairi and Riku shrugged in unison so Sora grabbed both of their hands and pulled them into the room next to the living room. On the floor, was a black box with two micro phones attached to it.
Sora let go of their hands and turned the Television on, "Who's up for karaoke?" Riku's eyes widened. He couldn't sing even if his life depended on it! His voice was like a screaming walrus being cleaned with sand paper! Kairi, on the other hand, jumped. "I am! I can kick your butt!" Kairi, Riku thought, would have a voice like an angel, just to suit her personality.
They both turned to Riku, Sora asking, "What about you?" Riku shook his head, "Uhh, no thanks, I have a sore throat." That was true; all the coughing from the horror movie really hurt his throat.
Kairi was given the red micro phone as Sora took the blue one. He set it up and soon they were both standing up to sing a song called 'Hear me out'. Riku himself had never heard of it, but Kairi and Sora agreed to do it so he assumed they knew it.
All's fair in love and in war,
You get what is coming,
That's it,
Say no more.
Kairi's voice was beautiful, she added a click into it to keep time and Riku was lost in the melody that Kairi was singing. He moved to the next couch so that he could get a better view of Kairi's face.
Some time things aren't fair,
And who's for the blame?
Look in the mirror,
And we'll play your game.
Riku crept up behind Sora and put a hand on his mouth. Sora turned around to protest but Riku shushed him and pointed to Kairi. Sora stopped struggling as soon as Kairi's voice reached his ears and sat on the couch next to him.
All is one and one is all,
So just hear me out,
I'll stop on your call-
"What?" Kairi dropped the microphone and turned around to see Riku and Sora staring at her. She pushed Riku's shoulders. "That's not fair! You guys!" Riku stood up.
"Awww come on Kairi, Keep singing!" Kairi crossed her arms and pouted. "You guys are mean." She poked her tongue out and sat on the couch. Sora giggled, "You look funny when your mad, Kairi." Kairi couldn't help but laugh. No matter how hard she tried to keep her face mad, she erupted into giggles.
Riku pointed at the clock, "Is that REALLY the time?" They looked up at the brass clock with a wooden cat on it, it read, 12:34. Sora nodded. "That is SO not fair!" Kairi stood up and brushed the crinkles out of her dress.
"What time did you have to be home, Riku?" Riku looked up and pulled at note with his mother's writing on it from out of his pocket. "Mum says 4:00 the latest and AFTER 2:00."
Kairi tilted her head to the side, "That's strange; I've never gotten a time that I wasn't allowed to home before. I wonder why they did that." Sora's face went blank. "Maybe they're…I don't know. Celebrating Christmas in they're own little way?" Riku hit Sora on the back of the head. "Don't EVER say that again."
Kairi giggled and turned to Sora, "Sora? Where is your toilet?" Sora stood up and pointed to the corridor, "third door from the kitchen"
As she got up to leave, Riku took her seat next to Sora. "What have you got planned for the rest of the night with us?"
Sora shook his head, "I have nooo idea." Riku laughed and commented on how 'well organized' Sora was. When Kairi walked in, Riku wondered what kept her so bright, what kept her shining so bright through out the night? She didn't have any tired looks about her even though it was so late that Riku could nod off right now.
Kairi dropped her body heavily on the couch. She moaned, "Ahh, I'm dead!" Riku looked at Sora who stood up and walked over to a small brown box in the corner of the room.
"I almost forgot! I got you guys a present!" Kairi took a seat next to Riku, suddenly very energetic from the mention of presents. First, Sora pulled out a small black rectangle box with a silver ribbon tied around it in a messy bow.
"Sorry I'm not very good at wrapping," Sora apologized while Kairi ripped the bow away and opened the lid of the leather box. In the box, a beautiful silver necklace with stars and flowers glittered and reflected in Kairi's blue eyes.
"Oh my god Sora, It's beautiful! Thank-you!" She propped the neck lace on the couches arm and leapt into Sora for a hug. While she got off, Sora pulled another box out of the brown chest. This present was the same but instead of a silver ribbon, it was gold. Sora tossed it to Riku and he opened it.
Riku got a bracelet with silver links all joining to a silver plank. On the silver plank, it had Riku's name carved into it. Riku put it on his wrist and held it up to observe.
"Heh, Awesome!" Riku turned to Sora, "I would leap into you for a hug, but we can't forget that I am a guy. So I won't." Sora and Riku laughed while Kairi checked the clock on the wall.
One o'clock. We'll have to leave in half an hour.
While Kairi was lost in thought, Sora jumped up and screamed, "Oh crap." Kairi snapped out of her thoughts and paid attention to Sora. "I completely forgot!" Sora bolted off and Riku shrugged at Kairi.
When Kairi and Riku followed Sora, they were hit by the stench of burnt something. They couldn't decide what. They turned the corner and saw Sora standing there with a fire extinguisher.
"I think they're okay. I wouldn't eat them though." He said, a sheepish grin on his face.
"What exactly are they?" Riku asked stepping up to the oven to peek inside. The foam fizzled down, revealing little black blobs. Sora pulled the tray out, "They're muffins!"
Kairi pulled back and held her nose, "Ugh! Disgusting!" Sora put the tray on the table and picked on up. They were as hard as rock. Sora giggled and threw one at the floor. "Not a crack." Riku said, inspecting the muffin. Sora laughed and threw one at the cream wall opposite the kitchen.
Incidentally, it went straight through. Leaving plaster marks on the floor. Sora's face dropped a few tones of color and his eyes went wide. "Oh crap. My mum is going to KILL me!"
He ran over to the wall and fingered at the plaster, it crumbled underneath his touch and fell to the floor. Sora glared at the muffin which was sitting innocently at the other end of the hole. Sora looked around, trying to see what he would do to cover it up. All the time mumbling to himself, he picked up a family portrait and placed it over the hole. He clapped his hands together and pushed the fallen plaster underneath the couch and stepped back.
He sighed, "There, back to normal." He turned around, "Hey Riku, shouldn't you be walking Kairi home by now?" Riku and Kairi turned to face the clock. They both shouted in unison, "What?!" The clock read: 1:45. Riku turned to Sora, "But the other clock…" Sora cut in, "The other clock is half an hour slow."
Kairi and Riku didn't stop rushing until they were out the door. Kairi and Riku turned around to say one last fair well to Sora. "Thanks again Sora" Riku said, leaving Kairi to say something. "Yeah, I had a really great time and thanks again for the beautiful necklace." She fingered the necklace which now rest on the neck.
Once Sora closed the door, Riku and Kairi descended the stairs and into the cold night, Riku could see Kairi's breath forming a small cloud in front of her mouth. He grabbed her hand and her neck snapped to face Riku. She was confused but when she realized her was looking at something she looked in front of them. A group of people with angry faces and crossed arms began to snigger at the two.
She whispered to Riku, "Do you know them, Riku?" He tugged her hand and pulled her closer to him. "No," He spoke, his voice sounding bitter and mad, "But I know they're not here to say Merry Christmas."
