"Sorry to keep you waiting." I said

"Nah!" He turned to me and smiled. "I'm used to it. You always kept me waiting," he teasingly added. I burst in embarrassment and faced on the other way. He stopped laughing and tried to apologize. "I'm sorry. Am I supposed to say 'Don't worry I just got here.'?" He said, imitating a girl's voice.

"Geez I hate you! You always find a time to tease me." I said while I pout. He then took my hands and faced me in his directions. His face started to come closer as his eyes stares at me warmly. I closed my eyes and prepared for the moment.

We kissed.

His soft lips and his warm breathing, I felt them all when we kissed. The scenes replayed on my mind over and over again wishing it will not come to end.

"Will you marry me?" he then asked while he kneeled before me.

I opened my eyes and heard a loud bang on my door. I saw myself on the floor of my bed. Aqua was the one knocking my door. "What happened? I heard a loud noise coming from your room," she said while I sighed and remembered the kiss.

"Reality." I said to her vaguely while I opened the door.

"Reality? What the hell does that mean?"

"Reality just hit on me." I sighed and said in a monotone expressionless face. "I'm fine Aqua. I'm going down after I fix myself up. Don't worry about me." I added while I pushed her out and close my door.

I walked across my room and look at myself in the mirror. I saw my hair completely messy and my face completely drowsy. I slapped myself and lay on my bed screaming. Aqua heard me from downstairs and said to herself, "She said she was okay but then here she is screaming her hearts out. That girl sure is weird."

I touched my lips while I remember the kiss we shared. I blushed and sat up. I slapped myself while my face was completely bright red. "Idiot! Idiot!" I said to myself many times. "Don't get so worked up with just a dream." I scream to myself I then lay again on the bed exhausted and hurt from my very own slap.

It was just a dream. I said to myself while I almost cry from regret, regret that that kiss has never been real.

"Besides that last part is completely out of proportion. Everyone can suspect that as a dream." I tried to joke myself out of my sadness but I can't clearly hide the feeling that I know that scenario will not happen between us anymore. "I even bet that he already had his first kiss after all those 24 girlfriends he had." I added while Xion's faced flashed in my mind. "I just had to ruined everything, didn't I? I think I stepped on another land mine AND I HAVEN'T GET OUT OF THE FIRST ONE!"

"Wow you're early," he said wearing his special green jacket with a t-shirt underneath saying "Struggle!" and a pair of denim pants and his trusted old sneakers.

"I got up early." I smiled and stand up to greet him.

"You're wearing casual today," he remarked my hoodie t-shirt and pants combo. "I thought you're going to wear something like a one piece dress or a skirt at least."

"It's not like this is a date date. This is just a date besides I'm more comfortable with this." I said completely blushing. "If you want I'm going to get changed." I added, on my way out.

"No." he said and took my hands. I blushed and remembered my dream. "Kyaaah!" I screamed on my mind and closed my eyes. "You're right. You don't need to be formal about this. I just expected that you will wear something like that. All my ex-girlfriends always wear like that whenever we go out. I just thought all girls act like that."

I opened my eyes and said. "They wanted to look cute in your eyes, that's why they wear like that." Even I wanted to be like that. But you don't notice things like that.

"That's not the basis of being cute," he said while smiling at me. "Look at you, even you don't wear a dress or a skirt you look cute or rather beautiful."

My eyes widened and my body started to warm up. I'm blushing. I can't believe Sora would say something like that. I forgot this is the reason why many girls fall inlove with him.

"Thanks." I said coldly but still blushing.

"Wow," he exclaimed looking at me with those shocked eyes.

"What?" I asked being uncomfortable with those stares. "Did I say something wrong?"

He shook his head and grinned. "It's just this is the first time I heard you feel happy on my compliments to you. Whenever I something like that when we were still dating you always brush them off."

Is that what I'm doing? I thought even I'm not saying it directly he will know that I'm happy that he is saying that. I guess he got the wrong idea. It made it look like I'm not happy at all.

"I'm sorry."

"Come on. That's alright. But tell me one thing. Whenever I said those things are you happy?"

I nodded and replied softly. "I just don't know how to reply properly that's why I always did that."

"Then that's settled then." He took my hands and dragged me in one of the rides. "I'm happy that you did."

"Geez I can't seem to get that bear stuff toy." I said while I positioned my gun against the stuff toy. Wouldn't it be romantic if I ask Sora to get it for me?

"Is there something wrong with my face?" he asked while he noticed that I'm looking at him. I shook my head and pouted. I can't say something like that. I know he's going to laugh at my face. I can't even imagine myself saying that. "You want me to get that for you?" he pointed the bear while I missed my aim from the bear from shock.

"Look what you did! I almost got it." I shouted at him while I pointed the bear.

He laughed at me and smiled. "Then I will get that bear too. Let's have a contest shall we?" he said while he asked a gun for himself from the owner.

"That's not very romantic." I said, pouting. You should have said 'then I will get that for you'. You dumbass!

"If you want me to get that for you then say it to me. I can't read minds you know." He said while I continue to ignore him. "Just say to me that you're very weak at this game and you'll need my awesomeness to get the bear then I will get it from you."

"I'm not THAT weak! I will show you!" I retaliated while he smirked all according to his plans.

"See. I told you I will get that bear." He boastingly said while I hugged the bear.

"After a few gazzilion tries." I whispered to myself.

"Thank you for coming in this booth," the owner bowed and said to us. We stayed from that booth for almost two hours and spent all of our money just to see who will get this bear. We even hit EVERYTHING from that booth except the bear but because of our pride and childishness we didn't take any of it unless it is that freakin' bear.

"Let's take the Ferris wheel Kairi," he said and took my hands.

But there is something wrong with me this day. I don't know if I expected too much or the things that we have been dong aren't romantic at all.

"Ticket for two please."

"Here's your ticket. Please enjoy the ride." Sora took the ticket and we sat on our seats.

"Hey why did you get quiet so sudden?" he asked. I shook my head and hugged the bear a little tighter. "Is it because you lost to me?"

"No! I'm not that immature you know."

"That's the Kairi I remember," he remarked and laughed at myself without a reason.

"Weird!"

Why isn't there a thump thump in my chest? We did things like a normal couple do every time so why am I not happy? Other than the 'or rather beautiful' remark he said earlier I never blushed nor my heart beat raced. We held hands. We laughed together. I even hugged him after he got the bear but I didn't feel anything at all as if it was normal to begin with.

This is not what I expected our date will be.

"Will you speak?" This silence is killing me," he said in a serious yet calm tone. "Please," he added with a weak smile.

"Sorry, I'm just thinking." I said and smiled at him.

"Thank you for coming with me. I thought that you will decline my invitation after our past relationship and all."

"Actually I'm kinda surprised at first but I thought it's bad to have a bitter resentment right?"

"We haven't had one," he said sounding serious again.

"Pardon."

"We haven't had a date before. It's either Selphie or the whole gang ruining it. They always barged on the last minute and you always let them. It feels like you don't want to have a date at all," he said with a weird expression on his face. He's like a child pouting and wanting a toy he doesn't have.

"You really don't like answering important questions," he said and stayed quiet for the rest of the ride.

Sora's expression changed and resembled a child being extremely happy. "Thanks. If this happen often I think we can rebuild our broken friendship."

I trembled and squeezed my juice to let go of my anxiety. I saw him shocked on his own words. He slowly chewed the portion he just bite and looked at me. "I'm sorry." His shaky voice managed to say.

I can't smile and faked it. I can't just say that it's okay, I'm over it. I don't want to treat my hardships as nothing. Those pains are etched deep deep inside my heart.

He looked down and gulped. "Why don't we date again?" He muttered silently.

Does he mean that incident? I still can't believe that he took that question seriously. This date really isn't what I expected. I thought this is a real start for us but this isn't a start.

This is an ending.

"Thank you for riding our Ferris wheel," the operator bowed and said.

"Hey."

"Y-yes?" I barely answered, dropping the teddy bear.

"Gotcha!" he exclaimed while laughing at my face. "I never thought you will take that seriously."

"You gotta be kidding me." I sighed and looked at him in awe. "If is this about not answering your question from before. I'm sorry."

"Huh? What question? From before?" he asked.

"You don't remember?"

"I do," he said with full of confidence while I lose my balance. Where does this conversation lead to? "You're thinking seriously. Let loose and have fun. I just did that so you could feel what I feel whenever you did that." he put his face closer and squint his eyes and stare at me. "This is how you look."

I burst into laughter and said. "I don't wanna look like that."

"So don't look like that ever again okay?" he patted me and gave me a smile.

I don't really get it. But I don't want to find an answer about it either. But if this feeling means that I have completely moved on then I'm glad. I could act like his bestfriend again without being awkward about it.

[A/N]

I'm back. Do you still remember me? I'm sorry for not updating for almost three months. I got my share of problems. My netbook broke, I lose my will to write and I got sick and I'm still recuperating. I didn't have a chance to enter this school year because of my sickness. :(

But I have good news for you. I'm updating weekly again, every Saturday and if feeling generous even Sunday. I also had an ending in my mind.

Sorry for all this run down but I'm writing again full speed ahead!

Next Up: Part-Time Panic!

Has Kairi really moved on? Or is she really just thinking that?
