Anby:Finally Ch.3 is out! WOOHOOO!Hope you likeies.
A New Paradise- Chapter 3
Riku opened his eyes to sunbeams pouring in through the window. He looked at where Sora was when they fell asleep. There was only a blanket they had somehow obtained during the night. Riku ran a hand through his hair and yawned.
Wondering where Sora had run off to, he pulled the blanket around his shoulders, he got up and went into the kitchen. Sora was standing by the counter cooking something in the microwave. As the plate went around, so did sora's head. Riku laughed at him. Sora jumped and turned around.
"What are you doing?Your going to get brain damage watching that thing."Sora pouted at him and shook his head.
"No im not. Its fun, you should watch with me!" Riku walked over and stood by Sora thinking that this was stupid. Sora set the microwave for five minutes. The light lit up and the plate started to move around. Both pairs of eyes following it.
After about ten minutes of microwave watching they stoped. So it had been fun and they did it a second time.
"Told you so."
Its so strange how the simplest things could be so fun.Ok very weird, simple things could be fun.Sora punched him playfully in the arm. Riku sighed hitting him back. Sora pouted making Riku laugh. Sora seemed to be good at making him smile.
"Sooo..."Sora seemes to hold 'so' for an long time. He used to do it all the time when they were little too, bad habbit of his. Just like his hyperness at times and his pouting.
Remembering so many things about Sora was easy for Riku. He noticed everything the brunette did and how he acted. How Sora could make him smile even when he was sad.The adventures they made to the garage, where they used to beleive a kid eating monster lived.
Life was good then and it sucked when Sora left. All he had left was his mom, and memories of the swordfights and treasure hunts. Now it seemed as if he had never left. Its almost funny that Riku could remember all of this, they were best friends though.
" RIKUUUUUU!"Shouted Sora into his ear. Probably really loud coming from Sora.
"Huh!Wha-ow my ear!"Riku said holding a hand to his ear. Sora smiled.
"Sorry, but you were zoning out for a second there. I was gonna ask if we were going to do something today. It looks nice out." Poor Sora must have been bored because Riku had gotten up at twelve. Who knows what time Sora got up, probably really early. He used to allways go to sleep late and get up early, unlike Riku. Sleeping in on weekends was what Riku loved even though twelve wasnt too late or too early.
"Oh...sure if you want to. You could meet some of my friends too." Sora took the plate that had been sitting in the microwave for about half an hour now out, and placed it on the counter. Glancing over Riku got a glimpse of what looked like chicken noodle soup.
"Uhhhhh, is that soup? Cause' it looks nasty." Riku scrunched his nose and nodded towards the bowl.
"Meanie!Not my fault I cant cook!" He pouted again, but they both new he couldnt make anything besides poptarts. Grabing the plate Riku took it and dumped the contents of it into the garbage, placing the dish in the sink.
No way he was going to let Sora eat that.What if he got sick? Its happened before. He was jealous because Sora got to stay home while he went to school. All Sora did was sleep, play video games, or eat every so often. Going over to Sora's house everyday with his homework started geting boring, even though he always enjoyed staying with him while he was sick. Then after a while he got better and things got fun again.
"Why did you do that im hungry!"
"Sorry, but you cant eat that, that plate had a bug on it before." Lame exuse. He knew it, but Sora would probably beleive him though. And he did too. He started running around the room and screaming "BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG!" He hated bugs.
Riku wraped the blanket around his head to block out Sora's screetches. He sighed and left the kitchen to go get dressed. When he came back Sora had changed too. He was sitting on the couch with his arms wraped around his legs.
"YAY! Your done, can we go do something now?"By now it was around two. Hyperness seemed to be geting to Sora allready.
"Yeah Im bored.Sorry about making you wait too.We can take my car if you want.I kinda feel like driving."At least Sora didnt kill himself running around the kitchen. He had calmed down a bit about the fake bug plate too, but the hyper-hyper stage could set in anytime with Sora.
"Its okay, I dont mind. If you wanna drive you can, only not if you want to.We went to bed pretty late, so dont drive if your too tired." Sora worried too much sometimes. Riku was now very awake from their morning activities.
"Im fine now, I'll drive. Not really tired now. I just want to go do something fun with you here. Its your first day here and already its allready kind of late."Riku smiled, and held out his hand to Sora.
"Sha'll we go then Sir Sora?"Sora just laughed at him and replied.
"I do say that would be wonderful!" Grabing his hand Riku pulled Sora up from the couch and they walked arm in arm out of the house. They didnt have any trouble except for the door which they had to go sideway through. They finally had to let go and get into Riku's car. When they were in, the buckled their seatbelts and Riku started the car with the keys he pulled out of his pocket.
"To Clouds then!"Riku said cheerfully looking at Sora.
"Cloud?" Sora asked him. Riku shook his head yes and pulled out of the driveway.
"One of my friends. Hes cool, you'll see him when we get there. In the meantime would you like to pick out a CD to listen to?"Sora looked confused. Riku handed him his CD case he kept in the car. Sora fliped through each page looking at each band, then fliping to the next page.
"What do you feel like listening to Riku?"Sora said probably unable to find one to listen to himself. Keeping his eyes on the road Riku smiled. He turned for a second before laying his eyes back on the road.
"Hmmm. How about the Bedlight For Blue Eyes cover of Jumper?Its really awesome. Its in the B's"Riku said .He kept his CD book in alphabetical order. It made it a lot easier to find a the CD he wanted to listen to.
"Really! I love that song!Bedlight For Blue Eyes rocks too!"Sora yelled, and started bouncing up in down in his seat while he said this. Hopefully the hyper-hyper stage wont set in while they were in the car. That would be a problem.
Sora fliped to the B's and found Bed Light For Blue Eyes and took it out. He handed it to Riku not knowing if he wanted him puting it in the CD player or not. Driver calls the shots usually.
Taking the CD Riku pushed the button to open it and pushed it into it.He glanced at the road again then skiped totrack3. The music started playing the intro.
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies, you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand.
I would understand,
The angry boy, a bit too insane,
Icing over a secret pain,
Sora layed his head back and watched the sceenery go by the window. It really was a good song. The cover was even better.
You know you don't belong,
You're the first to fight, you're way too loud,
The flash of light on the the burial shroud,
I know something's wrong,
Cause'everyone I know has got a reason, to say, put the past away,
I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut tiesfrom all the lies, you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand,
I would understand.
Well he's on the table, and hes going to code,
And I do not think anyone knows,
What they are doing here,
Breathing in slowly and leting it out, Riku sighed. A lot of songs remembered him about something that happened, or someone.He looked over at Sora watching out the window.
And your friends have left, and you've been dismissed,
I never thought it would come to this, and I, I want you to know,
Everyone's got to face down the demons,
Maybe today, we can put the past away,
Wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut tiesfrom all the lies, you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would undertand,
I would undestand,
I would understand...
Can you put the past away, wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
You could cut ties with all the lies you've been living in,
And if you do not want to see me again, I would understand
I would understand...
(Bed light For Blue Eyes cover of Jumper, by the Third Blind Eye)
"Like it?"Riku said looking at Sora again for a second.
"Huh? Oh, yeah its really good.Even better then the origional I think." Yawning he faced Riku.
"Were here."Riku said while he pulled up into the driveway of a really nice house. All Sora did was stare and look confused.
"Is this where Cloud, lives?" He asked wanting to go take a peek inside.
"Yeah, wait here I'll go get him 'kay?"Sora frowned he wanted to go too, but maybe he will some other time.
"Hmmhmm." Was all he said before Riku left toget his friend.After about twenty minutes they came out and Sora gat a good look at Cloud.He was as tall as Riku,really blue eyes, and hair spiked naturally it looked like, but his hair was blonde.
They started runing towards the car.They stoped just as they got to Sora's side of the car, and started talkimg about something.A few glances were given to Sora as well.Sora pressed his face up to the window, and Riku tapped on it.Rolling down the window Sora smiled.
"Sora, Cloud. Cloud, Sora."Cloud reached his hand out to Sora.
"Nice to meet you Sora."Sora took his hand and blushed.Cloud tilted his head and grinned.
"Nice to meet you too."Pulling back Cloud and Riku went to the other side of the car. Riku put the seat up so Cloud could get in the back. Whe he did he got buckled. The care started again, but they didnt go back the way they came.
"We gotta go pick up a few more people."Riku said and pushed play on the CD player.The next Bed Light For Blue Eyes song came on.Cloud leaned forward so he was in between the two front seats.
"Are we listening to Bed Light?"He asked.
"Yup.Any song requests people?"Cloud rasised his hand and bounced up and down.
"OH OH OH RIKU PICK MEEEEE!"Riku flinched and covered the ear he yelled in.
"Ok, but stop yelling in my ear your just as hyper as Sora gets."Cloud laughed and scratched the back of his head.Sora laughed too.
"Sorry Riku.Can we listen to The Promise?"Track 5, Clouds request everytime he listened to Bed Light For Blue Eyes.
"You allways want to listen to that Cloud.I will put it on anyway so Sora can hear it."Sora smiled at Riku and Cloud shouted with happyness.
"YAY FOR PROMISE!"Cloud shouted into his ear and made Riku flinch yet again.
"Well I dont have to put it on if we have your screaming to listen to."Cloud looked horrified.
"OKAY OKAY- I'll stop now!"Sighing Riku put Track 5 on.
I can tell by the look in your eyes
The way you disguise, the way you feel about me
Waiting for this moment to collapse
You know I tried to, Oh God I tried to break through
And everytime I look into your eye what do I see?
Inside of me?
Waiting for this moment to collapse inside my mind
This time we will run to anywhere you choose
I'll give you more than all
I'd slit my throat for just one glimpse into your heart
I can't take this anymore, the constant games you've been playing
Everytime you look my way, all the words you try to say are fallin apart.
Where does that leave me?
Why is it that everytime I close my eyes your there?
(Bed Light For Blue Eyes- The Promise)
After about three minutes and eight-teen seconds the song ended. Sora looked at Riku again. He looked over and smiled at him. Sora blushed and turned his head to look out the window.
"Where we going anyway Riku?"Cloud asked.
"To pick up Leon." Riku smirked ths was going to be fun.
"TURN THE CAR AROUND NOW RIKU OR ELSE!"Riku flinched for the third time and Sora did too.
"No way Cloudy!I told him we were coming to pick him up and he says he cant wait to see you!"Riku laughed while he said this.
"Now I cant lie to a friend like that now can I?Besides you two get along so well!"Sora sat in his seat looking confused.
"Who's Leon."Sora asked. Cloud frowned.
"AN IDIOT JERK-WAD DUFUS!"
"Stop being mean Cloud. You know you like him!"Cloud glared at Riku.
"I DO NOT!I should kill you for saying that! Though if I did we all would die and Sora doesnt have anything to do with this. It wouldnt be fair!"Crossing his arms Cloud frowned again.Sora hid a laugh behind his hand. Riku was laughing out loud, and ocasionally stealing glances at the frowning Cloud and the gigly Sora.
"Were here Cloudy!"He pulled up next to the drive way and turned aroud to face Cloud.
"ShouldI go get him, or would you like to have the honor of doing so?"Cloud glared at him. Riku took that as a no and he got out of the car to go get Leon.
When he got to the door he thought about whats going to happen.
"Those two better play nice." He said to himself outloud and rang the doorbell.leo awnsered.
"Ready to have some fun with Cloudy, Leon?
Leon smiled and looked towards Riku's car.
"Wouldnt have it any other way!"
Anby:This chapter was fun to write. I made it longer because I had to make you guys wait for ever.I listened to Bed Light For Blue Eyes while I made it too. That ishow I got the idea of putting in two songs by them, ones a cover though.Im allready working on the next chapter. Hopefully it wont take me as long to put Ch.4 out. I think its geting better with each chapter.If you want to listen to Bed Light For Blue Eyes songs, you can go to Purevolume.You can listen to Jumper, The Promise,Dig On This, and other songs by them. There are a lot of bands on there so you can listen to other bands too.
