Anby: Yes you guesed it, or looked at the chapter number...Ch.5 is finally here! YAY!

Last Time:

"Why are we geting all of this stuff anyway?"

"We've been planning on having a sleepover for ever.Everybody is coming too. Its going to be a lot of fun!"Riku was still smiling, and seeing him smile made Sora smile too.

"Sounds like fun!"Sora said glad they were spending such a fun time together.

"Come on we gotta hurry okay!"Sora was startled when Riku grabed his hand and pulled him towards the pillows.Whatever the pillows were going to be used for. Blushing, Sora followed Riku. He really didnt have a choice.


A New Paradise Ch.5

They had finally made it to Riku's with all of their things succsessfully.Dumping everything by the door, they filed into the living room. Soon they brought out some snacks and put some in the fridge.Sora was still contemplating on what the flashlights and pillows could be for though.

"So what are we going to do first?"Selphie asked from the end of the couch.

"Anybody have any ideas?"Tidus asked.Riku gave his cat like grin and stood up.

"Any one up for Any Ghost?Or are you all too scared."He said placing his hands on his hips and leaning forwards.

"Oh!Good idea Riku!"Yuffie got up off of the floor and stood by Riku.

"But who gets to go first?"The two looked at eachother and smiled evily.

"Hmmm I dont know Yuffie."They both laughed.Riku whispered something in her ear and she shook her head agreeing with him.

"Hey Cloud and Leon could I ask you something?"She said looking worried.Cloud bounced up off of the floor, but Leon just sat where he was.

"Come on Leon. You have to come too. Please!"Yuffie said looking like she was going to cry.Leon frowned and got up walking over to her.

"YAY! Come on you two!"She led them out of the room. Everyone else had confused looks on their faces. Smirking Riku told them what was going to happen.They all laughed evily at the genious plan.Geting up quietly they tiptoed over to the bathroom.

"NOOOOO! YOU CANT MAKE ME!"They heard Cloud yell. Yuffie was pushing him into the bathroom with her foot as best as she could.Leon popped up behind Cloud.

"Come on Yuffie! You seriously cant make me stay in here with this dweeb!"He said grabing onto the doorframe.

"Im not a dweeb, you dweeb!" Leon turned to glare at Cloud which was a mistake because Yuffie was able to shut the door.They heard Cloud scream as Yuffie turned off the light and locked the door from the outside.Leon was mumbling about how it was Clouds fault they were traped.Then they heard arguing and yelling.

"Might as well carry on with any ghost while your in there!"Riku said placing an ear up to the door.Cloud squeaked, he hated any ghost. He didnt realise thats what they were going to make Leon and him do.

"Were not letting you out untill we hear any ghost!"Yuffie said through the door.Cloud whined and Leon mumbled some more.

"Fine you meanies!"Cloud said through the other side of the door.He backed up and pushed Leon up to the mirror.

"You can do it Leon, okay!"He was too afraid to look into the mirror.Leon grabed Cloud by the hips and turned him so he was in the front now.Cloud blushed but was glad Leon couldnt make it out in the dark. Instead he held onto Leon's shirt.

"AHH I dont wanna Leooon!"Cloud burried his head into Leons shirt obviously scared to death allready.Leon rolled his eyes.

"Are you really that scared Cloudy?"Leon asked him calmly.Cloud nodded his head in Leon's shirt.One minute they were fighting, the next they were geting along better than ever.Leon scooted closer to the mirror and looked into it.

"Say it with me Cloud, okay?"Cloud just nodded again not wanting to look into the mirror still.

"Any Ghost, Any Ghost, Any Ghost, Any Ghost, Any Ghost, Any Ghost, Any Ghost."They said it loud enough for the others to hear outside of the bathroom.Then Cloud looked up into the mirror only to be faced with a figure outlined in white.

Outside everyone heard two loud screams. Yes two. Leon had actually gotten scared, or he did it so Cloud wouldnt feel bad being the only one screaming.They decided to open the door so their friends wouldnt die of fright.Cloud came running out while Leon just walked out laughing.

"See anything man?"Wakka asked Leon.

"I only think Cloud got a little carried away. Its only his reflection!"Was all he said before turning to Riku and asking who was going to go next.

"I guess I will go, Sora can come with me."Riku said facing Sora, who was behind him.

"Ready then Sora?"He asked him.He nodded and they walked into the bathroom.Yuffie closed the door and turned the light off after them.When she did Sora backed up and accidentally bumped into Riku.

"Oh, sorry Riku."He said moving his arms around trying to find something to hold onto.He reached out in front of him and found something rather warm and soft.He moved the tips of his fingers to the side and touched lips.He jumped blushing and began to remove his hand. Another hand was placed over his, keeping it in place.This made him blush an even darker shade of red.

"Sora."He said softly.They both started geting used to the darkness in the bathroom.

"U-um, s-sorry again Riku."He stuttered his hand still on Riku's.

"You apollogize too much."He said quietly.

'But I should be the one apollogizing.' At least thats what he would have said if it werent for the bathroom door opening and light pouring in.Riku quickly let Sora's hand fall from his.They both turned to see Yuffie.

"You guys didnt get scared then?"They both shook their heads no and exited the bathroom. They continued any ghost for another half an hour or so then stoped, going back into the living room.

Leon and Cloud were geting along a little better. They actually sat next to eachother for a while without arguing, but it seemed Riku and Sora were avoiding one another. Sora was sitting next to Kairi, and Riku next to Tidus.Every once in a while they would find eachother staring and quickly look away.

It was only nine when a boom of thunder sounded and rain started to dribble down on the windows.Sora and Selphie sat on their knees on the couch.It made it easier to look out the window and watch the storm. Riku turned on the TV after a while to see if it would get any worse.Surely enough with their luck the bad part hadnt even come yet.

"Hey guys this isnt too good. Come look."Everyone returned to their sitting places in the living room, from watching the storm out of the windows.All eyes were on the screen watching the red spots spread across their town. Tonight no one really would sleep after all.Cloud and Riku left the living room after the lights flickered, to get the flashlights, batteries,and some candles.

"Just in case."Riku told them. Then he remembered his mom was still at work.

"Kairi do you have your cellphone."She nodded diging in her pocket.Pulling it out, she handed it to Riku.

"What do you need it for?

"Mom."Was all he said to her before opening the phone and dialing his moms work number.

'Come on mom, pick up.You have to come home before the worst hits.You will just end ip at work all night.'After the phone rang for a long time, the operator picked up saying that the phone was disconected.He shut the phone and handed it back to Kairi.

"Thanks Kai."Riku smiled weakly.

"Is your mom okay?"Looking down Riku shrugged.His mom was one of the only people he had left in his life besides his friends and Sora.Kairi sensed something had to of happened and got up.

"Come on, lets go talk in the Kitchen okay?"He followed behind her slowly.

Riku hopped up onto the counter and kairi sat at the island.

"Whats wrong."She asked him, starting to play with her nails.

"Life."He said glancing out the window as a flash of light darted across the sky.She let out a breath and looked over at him.

"No, really. We all know life has its faults at times."She said knowing life couldnt be the real reason.

"Im just worried. My mom could be trapped at her work all night.Then theres other things that have been on my mind. I feel like I allways say the wrong things to people, exspecially Sora. He appologizes to me, but I should be the one saying sorry."She looked up and smiled with a knowing look in her eyes.

"So you like him then."Kairi said not bothering to even ask him.He looked up again.

"Of course, he's been my friend for ever."She laughed and shook her head.

"No. I mean you really like him dont you?"Riku looked up at her and blushed. Did he really like Sora like that, or was it just another trick life played on him?He had too much on his mind to even start thinking about that, even though he would like to. Maybe Sora liked him. What if he like Sora.He said he wouldnt think about it, but the thought crossed his mind and stayed.

"I... I really dont know how to awnser that."

"You dont have to, I can tell you do." She said cheerfully and bounced out of the room.His eyes widened.She could tell?Hopefully it wasnt that obvious to Sora.


Anby: I stoped it there for a reason, it's going to be continued in Ch.6. You can wait if Im allready half done with it. This chapter wont be the funny long one though, as you probably could tell. Hopefully the next will. As long as I get a few reviews I will be happy and continue making Ch.6 funny and longer. I feel so mean making the people who are reading this wait.I am very grateful you are too.

Should I start doing parts of the chapters in POVs to make it easier to understand?I dont know so Im asking you guys what you think. Doesnt matter to me because I cando it either way.

Please review?
