Okay, now that we got THAT sorted out—
Cheater…
Oo …uh, sorry?
Sora: Oo What are you two, a married couple?
Little confused Sora…to have a joint account, you have to be commited…something you are far too young to understand…
Sora: Okay, you and me are the same age, and rainy is THREE years younger than us BOTH.
Exactly… :sniff:
:sigh: Listen, let me write my chappie and we'll work this through! We'll go to Joint Account Counseling…
…okay…
There…now, CHAPTER TWO OF BEFORE THE DOOR! 8D- - -
Before the Door
Chapter 2
Neki and Reni snuggled themselves into Sora's bed and waited for Momma to come and tuck them in.
Neki sighed comfortably. "Do you EVER think we'll find the best muffin ever?"
"Sora's hair…" Reni said hypnotized by the single, brown, shiny, luster-full, beautiful, delicate—
Get on with it.
Hehe, sorry!--strand of Sora's hair.
"Sora's hair is not a muffin…" Neki said sharply to the younger girl. Then her eyes widened. "…but what if it IS!" the two girls gasped and stared at each other wide-eyed.
"As soon as momma tucks us in…" Reni began.
"…we'll pounce…" Neki finished, nodding solemnly.
Just then, Momma came into the room with a plate of cookies and two glasses of warm milk.
"Hey babies!" Momma called sweetly. Then she giggled. "I've ALWAYS wanted to call my children that, but Sora hates it." She sighed. "You girls are going to keep me young." She set the plate on the table beside Neki. "How are the babies feeling?"
"We're feeling great, momma!" Neki answered, and Reni nodded in agreement.
"So, where are you two from?"
"We're from…Sleepy Hollow!" Reni said happily.
"That's a movie title…" Neki stared at her friend like she was crazy, at that probably wasn't too far from the truth.
"Uh, Sleepy Eye?"
"That's a town in Minnesota."
"Well, it's an International Secret!"
"Oh really?" Momma asked, slightly amused.
Neki rolled her eyes, "Ja, 'cause we don't remember where we came from. We ended up on this really small island, and then swam to that island where we met Sora, Riku, and Kairi, and then they took us here."
"You swam from that very small island a mile away from the play island?" Momma asked, slightly concerned.
"We swam!" Neki proudly assured.
"No we rode dolphins!"
"Well, technically those were sea turtles that started taking us the wrong direction."
"Really? I thought they were horribly deformed dolphins."
"We swam halfway, and rode sea turtles halfway!" Neki concluded.
"Oh! You poor dears!" Momma gasped. "You must be tired, I'll let you sleep! Tomorrow we will have pancakes for breakfast! You both are skin and bones!" she whimpered, holding up Reni's skinny little 5-year-old arm. She stood, tucked them in, turned on a Power Ranger Nightlight, and left the room saying, "Nighty night, babies!"
The instant Momma closed the door, Reni and Neki sprang up, standing on Sora's bed like ninjas. They jumped and dodged rolled when they hit the ground.
Reni pressed her ear to the door. "Don't hear anything." She moved to the wall to the right of the door. "Nothing! Let's go!" just as she was reaching for the doorknob, she heard smacking sounds…along with crunching and liquid. She turned around and sighed irritatedly. "Neki! Eat the cookies later! …And save some for me!" she grabbed the plate away from the cookie crumb covered Neki, set it on the bed, and dragged the older girl out of the room.
They pressed themselves against the wall, and slid along it like secret agents. When they neared Momma's room, they heard the TV playing a soap opera.
"Oh crud…she's in her room! She'll see us pass by!" Reni whined softly to Neki.
Neki shook her head, and put her hands on Reni's shoulders, looking her square in the eye. "No she won't!" and she shoved the young girl into Momma's room, and dove to the other side of the door, hearing Momma gasping, and Reni shrieking. Neki made a mental note to let Reni have an extra cookie when they got back.
She crept down the stairs, and into the living room. Sora was sleeping on the couch. Army crawling, she made her way to behind the couch.
Neki heard footsteps. They were quick, tiny, and light. She sighed in relief, it was only Reni. As the said girl came running quietly down the stairs, Neki hissed, "Aren't you supposed to be distracting Momma?"
"I am!" Reni defended. "She's going to…" she gulped. "French braid my hair…" Neki gasped.
"But you look ridiculous in a French braid and you can't stand people pulling your hair!" Neki admired her friend's bravery.
"Yes I know…I have to get a brush and some rubber bands from the bathroom, but I thought I could help with the investigation if I came down here…" Reni walked over to Neki and Sora.
They tugged lightly on a chunk of his hair. Nothing. Neki sniffed it. Nothing.
Reni looked at it thoughtfully and stuck it in her mouth, but then spit it back out. Neki looked at her like she was crazy.
"I don't think it's a muffin…"
"Yeah, let's get the rubber bands and go to bed." They gathered the hair supplies, and as Reni walked into Momma's room, Neki dove to the other side.
Next day…"Hi Sora!" Riku greeted at the front door, and Sora let him come in.
"Riku, those girls have kicked me out of my room, and I swear the Rene—"
"Reni."
"Whatev, I swear she had to have tried to eat my hair!"
Riku sighed. "Sora, either you're dreaming, or you've gone completely insane! Reni's too girly to be a cannibal!"
"Looks are deceiving Riku!" Sora said pointing at his face.
"Rude to point, Sora," Riku reminded, patting the boy's head. "We should get Kairi and invite them to play with us."
Sora glared, "But they're pure evil!"
Neki chose that moment to run down the stares, see Riku, and glomp him.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKUUUUUUUU!" She squealed, hugging him around the middle.
Riku poked his Neki-belt. "Oh yeah, she's pure evil!" he whispered to Sora sarcastically while Reni made her way down the stairs with a very odd-looking French braid.
"Gah, this is hurting my head!" she whined, scratching furiously at the hairstyle. Then she got down on the ground, pressed the top of her head into the ground, and pushed herself along the ground like a dog does.
"Omigod she's the anti-Christ!" Riku sarcastically remarked quietly to Sora.
"Will you quit it?" Sora asked angrily.
Momma came down the stairs fully clothed, and beaming. "Hey babies!"
"MOM!" Sora yelled embarrassedly.
"Since Neki and Reni's clothes are in the laundry and the colors are fading, I'm going to go shopping for clothes for them!" Momma started squealing. "I get to shop for little girl's clothing! I picked out some outfits from Sora's wardrobe for you two to wear until I get back! Any particular colors you have in mind?"
"Um…Red, black…white…" Neki mused. "Guess that's it…and maybe a kitty shirt! I like the kitty!"
"Blue, gray, purple…brown…" Reni listed. "I really don't mind what you get me!"
"Okay babies! I'm off! Riku, make sure Sora doesn't burn the house down." And she left.
Sora ran to the window, opened it, and screamed, "THAT WAS ONE TIME AND ONE TIME ONLY!"
Reni and Neki stared at him, "One time and one time only?" they asked in unison, while Reni scratched her head furiously.
"Here," Neki said, untying the rubber band and weaving out the braid. Reni's hair was very wavy now.
"How about we go get the gang and we can all play on the islands!" Riku suggested.
"No!" Sora whined.
"Okay!" Reni and Neki chirped. And they ran upstairs to get dressed while Riku wrote a note telling Momma that if they were gone when she came home they were at the Island.
Later…"I'm wearing Sora's clothes!" Reni squealed, hugging herself in her blue and green horizontally striped long sleeved shirt and jean shorts. Neki was busy putting Reni's hair in a high ponytail.
"Yes, yes…" Neki agreed. "…now I just have to find out how to wear Riku's clothes now…" she stared down at her blue-gray "I Love Moose" tank top and long jeans. "Put my hair in a braid will ya?"
As Reni turned around and started braiding Neki's hair, Riku yelled from the bottom of the stairs, "SORA HURRY UP!"
"SORRY BUT NEKO—"
"Neki."
"—NEKI TOOK MY 'I LOVE MOOSE' SHIRT AND I WAS GOING TO WEAR IT!"
Neki and Reni started laughing so hard they almost choked on their own spit.
As soon as Sora came out in his white shirt and shorts, they left the house and walked around to get the gang. Then they all got in the little boats Wakka's dad had made for them, and sailed to the island's shore.
Neki, Wakka, and Riku jumped out and ran in the shallow water around the dock, while Reni, Selphie, Kairi, Sora, and Tidus played "Who can get on the dock the fastest, Tidus winning of course.
Selphie skipped down to the end of the dock singing some song that started, "Wishing on a dream that seems far off!"
:gasp: Shii's song!
Hehe, yah, I forgot to say I don't own Power Rangers or Shii's song…Tidus caught up with Wakka and had a wrestling match; Sora, Riku, Kairi, Neki and Reni all got together and stood at the water's edge.
"So you guys swam halfway here just to look for some muffins?" Riku asked after the two new girl explained their story.
"Yep…" Neki shrugged. "It's pretty calm water, we weren't in much danger."
"But what if you got tired?" Sora asked.
"Oh we weren't!" Reni assured. "We were on a sugar high, and the fear of Crash and Burn urged us to swim even faster!" She flashed a little peace sign.
"It's still dangerous." Kairi pointed out.
Neki sighed. "What do you guys do for fun around here?"
"Tease Sora." Kairi and Riku said in unison.
"Hey!" Sora said. Then he blinked. "You guys DO tease me all day!" he pouted and Kairi and Reni squealed. Then they stared at each other.
Then they pounced.
"OW!" Reni shrieked as Kairi pulled her ponytail. She grabbed Kairi's wrist and bit her arm.
"OWIE! STOP!" Kairi grabbed Reni's other hand and began bending her wrist back.
"HEY HEY HEY!" Reni smacked the other girl's hand out of the way, and kicked her shin.
"YEOUCH!" Kairi squeaked, and she reared her arm back, but Riku grabbed it and dragged the redhead away. Sora was dumbfounded and stared straight ahead.
Neki helped the little one up, and glared at Kairi. "YOU'RE A BEAVER! YOU ARE A BEAVER!"
Kairi gasped. "I AM SO NOT A BEAVER! YOU'RE A BEAVER!"
"YOU'RE A BEAVER WITH NO IMAGINATION!"
"I WON'T DENY NOT HAVING AN IMAGINATION, BUT I AM NOT A BEAVER!"
"YOU'RE A BEAVER!" Reni and Neki screamed.
"WHY THE HECK ARE YOU CALLING EACHOTHER BEAVERS!" Riku roared. "Okay, if you are going to fight then at least use some respectably good names!"
Kairi sniffed and walked away. "I'm going to play with Selphie! T.T.F.N: Ta ta for now!"
Riku and Sora shrugged. "See ya Kairi!" Reni and Neki looked at each other gleefully. It was just them and the two boys.
"Is there anything fun to do around here?" Neki asked, inching closer to Riku by the second.
"Ummm—" Sora began.
"I was talking to Riku, not you So-chan."
"I AM NOT SO-CHAN!" Sora yelled as Reni glomped him screaming, "SO-CHAN!"
"Uh, there's our secret spot…" Riku shrugged. "It's not that secret."
"Riku! That is SO secret!" Sora whined detaching himself from Reni.
Riku stared at Sora like he was crazy. "Sora, older kids go in there and start moaning and kissing a lot all the time!"
((A/N: If you didn't get that, think about it.))
Sora opened his mouth and pointed a finger, but then dropped it. "Fine…but they aren't members of the club!"
"Sora, for the last time there is no club."
"THERE'S A CLUB DARNIT!"
"Fine…" Riku came over and poked the two girls in the foreheads. "Voila, you are both now apart of the 'Random-Non-existing-Just-Making-Sora-Happy' club." He said flatly.
Reni and Neki squealed. "YAY! Let's go to the secret spot!" and the two girls followed Riku and a satisfied Sora to the secret spot.
After they ran down the dark entryway, the two girls gasped. "Wow! This is so neat!" Neki said in awe.
Riku picked up a slightly sharp rock. "Here, we can draw on the walls with these." And he and Sora both found empty spaces of wall or rock and began to draw. Reni and Neki found two sharp rocks and found a blank rock to decorate.
"Hmmm…I wonder what we're doing tomorrow…" Reni mused, drawing a picture of a rabbit. She made it white and gave it a pocket watch and glasses.
Neki leaned over and saw the rabbit and giggled. "I dunno…" she finished the tail of a striped cat with a really big smile standing on its head. She looked up and saw a weird door . "Hey, what's that?"
Riku, Sora, and Reni all looked at it.
"Oh, that's always been there." Sora said. "We can't open it so don't even try."
"Okee!" Reni chirped standing up and running off to a new canvass to draw on.
About three hours later, all of the children were playing Hide and Go Seek tag with the lazy paupu tree as the base.
"Okay! I'll be it!" Neki yelled jumping up and down, and she went into the little sea-side shack to count. After counting to Fifty, she crept out.
"Hrmm, where is everyone?" Neki mused softly. She saw the secret spot entrance and snapped her fingers. "I bet someone's in there!" She ran over there, and entered the cave.
Neki walked down the winding hall into the main cave. Once she was inside, she searched around and concluded that there was no one in there. As she was walking out from behind a rock, she spotted the Door again. Sure Sora said that no one could get it open, but she thought she'd try…
She dug her fingernails into the crevasse between the wood and the stone, and pulled. She pulled even harder, and it budged only about an inch. Grr, she couldn't see inside yet. She pulled even harder and it moved about three inches. Peeking inside she saw a lot of black…just black. That was it. Some looked like it was moving, but she thought it was her eyes playing tricks on her.
Deciding to wait until she found everyone to tell them, she turned around, but in the process she tripped sideways, and landed on the door, shutting it.
"Oh shoot!" Neki cursed. She shrugged. For now, she would continue the game of Hide and Go Seek Tag. She stood up and ran out of the cave, and off to find everyone. However, in the efforts of finding everyone, she forgot about the door entirely, and came back to Sora's house at three in the afternoon.
