Chapter 24: Teddy Bear

Sora, Roxas, Namine, Jen, Hayner, Pence, Olette and Catherine were still fast asleep. The sun was rising and made its ray penetrate trough Namine's windows. Sora and Roxas woke up. Sora sat up and stretched himself. Roxas only yawned. Sora looked at everyone except for Roxas. They were still sleeping. Roxas checked his watch; it was already ten in the morning. He stood up and tried to walk to the bathroom without making any noise, but he fell walking on Namine's foot. She merely opened her eyes.

"What was that?" she asked still sleepy.

"That was Roxas tripping on your foot." Sora said. "It's ten in the morning, I think we should prepare for our day."

"You're definitely right." Namine said looking at Roxas who was standing up from his fall. Roxas only made a fake laugh.

"Roxas, you know she already saw you." Sora said smirking. Roxas only rubbed his arm and murmured something to himself. Namine only giggled. Jen woke up from Namine's giggle. She sat up and watched the other ones who were still sleeping. Roxas walked inside the bathroom leaving Namine, Sora and Jen with the rest of them.

"I'll go to the bathroom in the hall." Sora said taking his stuff and walking on four legs to the bathroom. Jen took her stuff and waited in line in front of the bathroom door that Roxas was in. Namine stood up and started taking her stuff. The phone rang and she went downstairs to pick up the phone.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hello dear, is Xemnas here?" the voice asked.

"No he's not here. Do you want to leave a message for him?" she asked.

"Yes dear, who is speaking?"

"His daughter. So what is your name?" she asked. The voice only laughed.

"My apologies, this is his partner, tell him that I called and that he calls me back. Okay dear?" the voice said.

"Of course sir, well goodbye." Namine said hanging up.

"Who was it?" Hayner asked yawning. Namine was frightened.

"Oh it's you Hayner, sorry I thought it was a kidnapper or a robber." Namine explained herself.

"Don't worry, it's only ol'Hayner!" Hayner said smiling.

"So who was it?" he asked.

"Someone for my dad." She replied. Hayner only stared for a couple of seconds before heading upstairs. Namine stayed there all alone passing her fingers in her blonde hair. She looked all around her, she was alone with her friends. Her mom was always out and her dad was always working. She headed upstairs to join her friends. Roxas, Sora and Jen were already dressed. Hayner was in the bathroom in the hall and the others were still sleeping. Namine looked at her three friends they were sitting on the floor watching the others.

"I guess we'd better wake them up." Namine suggested. Sora grinned.

"Nice thinking Nam!" he said. Roxas got to wake up Pence. Sora woke up Olette and Jen woke up Catherine. Pence, Olette and Catherine all sat up and stretched.

"What time is it?" Olette yawned. Sora pointed to the clock hanging on the wall.

"Oh.." Olette let out. She stood up, grabbed her stuff and went in the bathroom. Hayner came back from the bathroom all dressed wearing some pair of green and black shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Sora sat on his wheelchair waiting for everybody to be ready.

After half an hour

Everyone was ready to go. Sora was downstairs on his wheelchair waiting for the others to come down. After they all came down they exited Namine's house.

"Where are we going Namine?" Catherine asked.

"We're taking my dad's limo." Namine said standing in front of a limo. The driver looked very serious. She opened the door and headed inside the limo.

"Come on! We're getting lunch since it's already noon." Namine said. Roxas entered followed by Jen, Sora, Hayner, Pence, Olette and Catherine. They all sat and enjoyed the little ride. Sora was amazed, he had never been in a limo. He was checking out everything at his disposal. Roxas too was being like Sora. Hayner only enjoyed the ride of his lifetime sitting beside Olette. Pence was taking pictures at the inside. Jen only tried to stay calm even though she was excited for this ride. Catherine looked outside the window looking at the amazing view there was. Namine only giggled at Sora and Roxas.

After the ride they all came out and entered the restaurant. They all sat at two different tables. Hayner, Pence Olette and Catherine were sitting at one table and Namine, Sora, Roxas and Jen were sitting at the other table. A waitress came to Hayner's table and they started to order. A waiter came to Namine's table.

"Excuse me waitress!" Namine said trying to get her attention from the other table. The waitress turned around seeing Namine.

"Oh Namine!" the waitress exclaimed. Everyone only looked at her.

"Can you put these two orders on my tab please?" Namine asked.

"Yes sweetie! How have you been?"

"Great and you!" Namine asked.

"I'm perfectly okay. Are these all of your friends?" the waitress asked.

"Yeah but there are others who went to camp." Namine explained.

"Kairi is not there I see." The waitress remarked. She started taking orders and the waiter too. They both went behind the doors leading to the kitchen.

"So you know her?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, Kairi and I always go to this restaurant when we're together because we met here." Namine explained.

-Flashback-

A little blonde girl was sitting at a table with her parents. Her parents were discussing some business matters and the little girl decided to leave the table. At another table, was a family. Her parents were ordering and a little girl had a tight grip on her teddy bear. Her short auburn hair made her eyes bring out their lavender color. She looked at her parents and then all around the restaurant. She saw a blonde girl walking around, exploring the building. The auburn haired girl decided to go see the blonde one.

"Hi!" the auburn girl said.

"Hi!" the other one said.

"I'm Kairi and you?" Kairi asked.

"I'm Namine." Namine said. She looked at the teddy bear Kairi was holding.

"Do you want to be friends with me?" Kairi asked. Namine nodded. Kairi handed out her teddy bear to Namine.

"Here, keep it safe for me." Kairi said. Namine only stared at the little auburn haired girl.

"No it's yours, besides I have plenty of toys at my house." Namine said trying to give back the teddy bear to Kairi.

"This is a sign of our friendship! We'll be friends forever!" Kairi said. A smile curved into her little pink lips. Namine took the teddy bear and they both went to their separate tables. While eating they were smiling at each other.

"Mommy, daddy! That girl over there is my friend!" Kairi pointed.

"Aww, you made a friend all by yourself." Her mom said. Their parents joined Namine's parents to talk about their daughters. Namine and Kairi got to play together while their parents were talking.

-End of Flashback-

Namine go out of her daydreaming. She smiled looking at the building that reminded her of her best friend. She had just told her story about how Kairi and she met. Sora looked at her and grinned.

"So many memories.." Namine started.

"Do you still have the teddy bear?" Sora asked.

"I still do, it's somewhere safe." Namine replied.

"So that's how you two met. Pretty impressive, and you've been best friends since that day." Roxas said.

"Yeah, I believe that friendship will last forever." Jen said.

"I have an idea!" Namine exclaimed.

"Shoot!" Sora said.

"Why don't we go shopping after eating and buy a teddy bear for Kairi? Just to remind her of our friendship." Namine suggested.

"That's a great idea Nam! We'll go shopping for the teddy bear after that." Sora said. Roxas nodded.

"At least we could shop for clothes while we're there." Jen said. Roxas glared at her. He hated shopping no matter what. Jen only smiled at him.

Hayner, Pence, Olette and Catherine were still waiting for their orders.

"It's starting to be long." Hayner complained. His stomach growled and Olette stared at him.

"What? I'm hungry." Hayner said. Olette only giggled.

"Well at least, I'm enjoying what I'm doing while waiting for our food." Pence exclaimed.

"What are you doing?" Hayner asked curious.

"Look!" Pence said showing to Hayner. Hayner laughed joined by Olette and Catherine. Pence smirked looking at the other table. Pence had his digital camera and looking through the pictures he had taken. He had showed Hayner, Olette and Catherine the one where Sora and Namine were sleeping at the beach together.

"When Kairi comes back, we'll show her the picture." Pence said.

"But it has to be in a special way." Hayner said.

"Come on guys let's do it!" Olette said.

"Aw please, leave them alone, they're just friends." Catherine said. The waitress came and brought them their drinks. Hayner took a sip from his drink which was coke.

"I'm still waiting for the food." Hayner complained again. Olette only patted his back.

"Stop Hayner, be patient." Olette said. She took a sip from her iced tea.

At Namine's table, they got their drinks and now they were waiting for their food. Sora had a fork and a knife in his hands. He was getting desperate.

"Sora calm down!" Jen said.

"But I'm tired of waiting." Sora pouted. Roxas was now getting desperate just like Sora.

"Roxas, stop you too." Jen said trying to make him stop.

"No wonder they're cousins." Namine joked.

The food came to Hayner's table. Hayner picked up his fork and started eating. Catherine and Olette only looked at him in disgust.

"Do you really go out with him?" Pence joked. Olette only glared at Pence who was eating his food. They were all eating quietly.

At Namine's table, they had just got their food. Sora and Roxas started pigging out on their plate. Namine and Jen were gently eating their food. They were embarrassed by Sora and Roxas. Everyone was looking at their table, they got beet red from embarrassment.

"Guys! Could you eat like humans please?" Namine pleaded. Sora and Roxas started eating gently.

"Sorry girls, we were famished." Roxas explained. Namine only looked at them and returned to her plate.

"So after this we're going to the mall?" Roxas asked his mouth full. Namine only looked at him in disgust.

"Eww Roxas! Don't talk with your mouth full." Namine said. He let out a fake laugh and swallowed his food.

"So we're going to the mall after this?" Roxas asked again.

"Yeah, we're going shopping!" Jen high fived Namine. You could hear Sora groan.

"What is it Sora?" Roxas asked.

"We're going shopping! I hate shopping." Sora explained.

"Too bad for you!" Namine teased.

Hayner was listening to the other table's conversation.

"What? We're going to the mall?" Hayner asked to Namine.

"Yeah! Plus I need to something real important." Namine explained.

"Aw man.." Hayner and Pence groaned. Olette and Catherine giggled.

"Yay! We're going shopping!" Olette exclaimed.

"Oh yeah!" Catherine exclaimed.

Namine and Jen giggled as the four boys groaned again.

"Now eat your food quickly so we can get to the mall." Namine ordered. Sora was now eating very slowly. Roxas wasn't eating at all. Pence had already finished and Hayner was eating normally. Namine, Jen, Catherine and Olette had already finished. They were waiting for the guys.

"Roxas eat! Even if you don't eat doesn't mean you're not going to the mall." Jen said to Roxas and forced him to eat. He finished his plate. Sora was now eating fast. He thought by eating fast they would get rid from the mall faster. They all finished and Namine left the money plus some tip. They exited the restaurant and they entered the limo.

Sorafanluver: Yay! Another chapter from me finished!
