"Kairi?" Sora asked as he made his way outside onto the porch where his crush since kindergarten sat. The evening air seemed to have cooled down even more than this morning. Kairi sat on the porch, her arms around her, trying to shield herself from the cold. Her deep pink hair blew gently in the wind, and her sapphire eyes stared blankly into the night sky. Tonight the pitch black night sky was light with billions of sparkling stars, and as Sora took a seat next to Kairi, a shooting star streaked across the night sky. All that could be heard was the soft sound of Kairi's cries. Sora leaned out so he could get a better look at her eyes. Through the darkness he could see her sapphire eyes, corrupted with salty tears.
"Sora." She whispered through her tears. "Do you remember the paopu fruit we shared?" Sora smiled as he leaned closer to her.
"Yes" Sora answered simply. He leaned back, seeming to examine the stars, but truthfully he was remembering the day they shared a sweet paopu in a cave on the island.
"I always believed…" Kairi whispered through the night. "After we broke up… that paopu fruit was a big joke." Sora let his head fall. Was she trying to tell him that it was still over between them? It didn't matter now. He doesn't have her anyway, so what does he have left to lose? Sora leaned over, pressing his lips to Kairi, leaving them there for a moment.
"You didn't let me finish!" Kairi laughed. "I used to think that until tonight. Could you ever take me back?"
"Kairi, you're my soul mate!" Sora smiled. "So… I sorta can't live without you." And for the second time that night, the two soul mates shared a passionate kiss.
"Aw!" Namine and Roxas' voices ring out. Kairi and Sora turn to find Namine and Roxas holding hands in the doorway. Sora and Kairi both blushed and turned to each other.
"You're so cute!" Sora smiles, kissing his girlfriend on the cheek.
"Alrighty I'm bored" Roxas frowns shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Same." Namine smiles shyly.
"Let's get out of here ok?" Sora asks the group. "Double date?"
"Let's do it!" Kairi smiles jumping forward. The four set off to depart into the night, bursting out the front door Kairi and Sora run down the block, starting to travel up the hill.
"Guys wait up!" Roxas called. He had noticed a depressed Axel sitting on the porch. "Namine go wait with Sora and Kairi ok?" Roxas made his way over to Axel, who was staring blindly into the distance.
"Hey Axel." Roxas tried.
"Go away Roxas" Axel cries faintly.
"Listen Axel, It didn't work out between us, but you'll find somebody, I'm absolutely positive." Roxas encourages.
"Just go away" Axel whines.
"Alright Axel, just remember… one day" Roxas smiles before leaving. Roxas races back to his girlfriend, and turns around one last time, to see Axel smiling up at an old friend of his named Xion. He knew he'd find his guy… or girl some day. Two guys, two girls walking into the night, after having the best, and most confusing, night ever. Finally everyone was happy, and it only took four years, one night, and one crazy frickin reunion to make it.
