Starting theme: Full Moon Theme Song
Riiku snapped awake, and she sat up in her bed and looked out the window. Still dark, she looked over at her clock it read: 5:59 a.m.
She got out of bed and headed down to the kitchen. There was a note on the counter it read:
Dear Riiku, I went to work don't bother waiting up I'll be at work till 10:00 p.m. Love momGreat she thought just what I needed!
Riiku walked back up stairs, in her purple nightgown with lime green stitching, she had to get dressed. She walked into her bedroom and started to undress, she then pulled on her short purple dress she always wore.
********************************
As Riiku headed into town people still stared at her, they still weren't over Hayne's death yet. She walked right past everyone head held high, but she stopped when she reached the Accessory Shop. The woman turned around and smiled.
"Oh, Hello Riiku! How are you?" The Woman said
"Oh I'm good Mrs. Porter" Riiku said
"That's good!" Mrs. Porter said
Riiku saw that there was a girl in the back of the shop; she looked about 15 with long brown hair but there was blonde in it. She had hazel eyes (she saw this when she turned side ways) and she looked about 2 feet smaller than Roxas (one foot smaller then her).
"Um…Mrs. Porter who's that?" Riiku asked pointing to the girl
"Oh she's my daughter Andi Porter." Mrs. Porter said smiling
"Oh…" she replied
Andi came over as soon as she heard her name said by her mother. Her mother turned to her muttered something in her ear and wondered off into the back of the shop. Now Riiku was left with Andi.
"Hi." Andi muttered
"Erm….Hi Andi" Riiku muttered back
"What can I help you with?" She asked
"Um I just came to see the new stuff…" Riiku said
"Well then….here they are!" she said
Riiku looked down at all the rings, anklets, bracelets and necklaces. How beautiful they looked in the sunlight. The jewels in the silver and gold and other metals sparkled in the light and made them look oh so beautiful. Riiku looked up at Andi because she had muttered something.
"Excuse me?" She asked
"Hm….? Oh I wasn't talking to you…" Andi replied
Riiku looked at her for a long time before going back to looking at the many accessories in the box. Riiku looked up again 5 min later. Andi didn't look too happy about having to work.
"Andi?" Riiku said
"Ya?" She replied
"You see there's this group of kids starting to form together and I was wondering if you'd like to join in." Riiku said really fast
Andi stared at her for along time before looking side ways and shrugging.
"Nothing better to do around here. Might as well" She said
She went into the back and talked to her mom about going with a friend of hers. Her mother looked at Riiku and smiled, she then told her daughter something and Andi came bouncing out of the shop.
"Ok take me to this group!" She said
"Um…ok" Riiku said leading her to the hill
Riiku was bored and lonely most of the time when she wasn't with her friends. Her house was always empty and she didn't have a boyfriend or brother to look after. So she spent a lot of time on that hill they made the hang out. So when she wasn't there she was out looking for new kids to hang out with. Andi just happened to be one of them.
The girls walked to the train station and hopped onto the next train to the other part of town, where Twilight Hill was. The girls walked around that part of town, visiting the wonders of it. The Fountain, The wall that balls come out of, the tunnel that howls. They even got some sea salt ice cream, all before heading up the hill. When the girls got there only Roxas and Axel were there.
"Hay guys!" Riiku called
The boys turned to see who'd called to them and when they saw it was Riiku they smiled and waved. Riiku studied Axel a bit more then usual, he'd been disappearing every night for the past few weeks she'd known him. At first it didn't concern her, but then he came back with a cut on his arm and other injuries.
"What?" he asked when he caught her staring at him for the 5th time that afternoon.
"Nothing" she replied
By this time everyone was there and everyone was talking and waiting for the sun to set, even Andi was talking and laughing. Riiku looked over at Roxas; he was sitting on the railing and staring at nothing. Riiku got up and sat beside him; he looked over at her and smiled, but it was one of his sad smiles not one of the ones she liked.
"What's wrong?" she asked
Roxas looked at the others, they were in a group talking, and he then looked at Riiku. He smiled again and shook his head.
"I wish I could tell you…" he said in a sad tone
"But WHY can't you tell me?" she asked
He stared at her in silence incidentally thinking if he should tell her or not.
He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again and turned towards the now setting sun.
"I…I promised I wouldn't tell…" he said
"But…" she mumbled
Roxas smiled but he didn't look at her, he kept staring at the setting sun. Riiku looked at the others; they were further down watching the sunset. Riiku looked at the setting sun and then back at Roxas.
"Stop medaling, Riiku" it was Axel's voice
Riiku turned her head to the left only to find Axel standing there; staring up at the sky. He didn't look at her he only looked at the sky.
"I don't want you medaling in my life…" He said
Riiku looked at him in shock; it really hurt to hear him say that. He looked at her and she saw in his eyes that he was just trying to protect her. But from what she didn't know…
Riiku nodded and Axel smiled.
Andi came up behind Riiku and hugged her.
"Thanks for taking me here," She said "and thanks for letting me be your friend!"
"It was no problem Andi….." was the last thing Riiku said before heading home
"Riiku!" someone called
"RIIKU!!!" they called again
Riiku turned around and Roxas and Axel came running up to her.
"What's up?" she muttered
"Nothing…..Nothing at all." the two boys said together
Roxas grabbed Riiku's hand and Axel put his arm around his two best friends.
