" Rikuuu…Riiiiiikuuu…Riku!! " I blinked and then looked up at who was calling my name…. Sora.
" Huh? "
" I've been calling to you for three minutes, something on your mind? "
" No" I shook my head " I'm just tired…what do you want? "
" English project, Zexion just announced it. " Oh…well crap.
" Aaand we are allowed to have partners-"
I rubbed my eyes with my thumb and index finger. " Yes, Sora. "
Sora grinned " I knew you wouldn't say no." As he said that the bell rang and people shot up and ran chaotically out the door. I sighed and stood up and started to collect my books as more and more people began to leave. I hated walking in a crowd, so uncomfortable.
" What's taking you so long guys?" Kairi said as she walked in.
" Riku's tired so that means he's gonna be extra slow today. " I slapped him lightly upside the head.
" I'm the one that's always waiting for you doofus. " I walked out the door then to my locker. Sora and Kairi did the same, but after they got their next period class books they came over to me. We were all silent as I put my books away; there were very few people in the hallway. Kairi was the one to break the silence.
"Don't you have to work today, Riku? "
I groaned " Don't remind me…" I shut my locker to see Sora standing there…with his mouth gapped open. Was there something on the front of my locker? I glanced over at it, it had some phone numbers on it but that was it. " What? "
" You have a job?! All these years we have been best friends and you wont tell me when you get a job?! " Oh ya…I forgot Sora was there. Kairi and her big mouth, I flashed a look at the red haired girl and she gave me an apologetic look. I then started to walk.
" It was never important enough to bring up. "
" Tell me where you work so I can come visit you! " That's, what I was afraid of.
" The Pizza Tree House. " Both Kairi and Sora gave me a look that screamed ' Where the heck is that? '. " Its on the other side of the Island, I work so far away cause for one they pay very well. Why do they you ask? Because its is a little kids place. It's a pizza place with an arcade and a play place and etcetera…"
Kairi and Sora made a ' o ' face and then continued walking to out class…, which sadly was art.
Coincidentally out teacher was Demyx, an Organization member. Of course, half this school was made of Organization members…and why exactly were we going to a school that was pretty much filled with our worst enemies?
" Okay class. " Demyx clapped his hands once very loudly as we all took our seats; I sneezed. " Today is best friend day. I'll just get to the chase, you have to draw or ' make ' your best friend. You can work in-groups or individually, you have forty-five minutes to work. If you don't completely finish it is an automatic zero, understand? Good, go work. " I didn't like Demyx as out art teacher because oddly enough he was too strict with us, probably because he had a chance to make me and Sora's school life miserable.
As people started quickly gathering their things to make sure they finished on time. Sora looked over at me. " Our best friend eh? " Sora grinned " Demyx can we have an inanimate object as out best friend? " Demyx gave him an odd look, looked at me then back at Sora.
" Riku is a object? "
" No! No! I mean like for example…my gloves. " He wriggled his fingers. Demyx sighed.
" Can my Keyblade be my best friend? " Demyx frowned
"No Sora, that's a weapon, not a best friend. Better hurry, times a tickin'. " Demyx walked away to help other students who needed it. I turned back to Sora.
" Were you really going to make your gloves? "
Sora giggled " Yea…just as a joke though. " I raised an eyebrow
" Demyx! " Demyx looked up from his desk. " Can I have a object? " Demyx shrugged
" I guess so…sure. "
" My best friend was Sora, till I got replaced by gloves, so I'm deciding to replace him. I grinned then got up from my chair and walked over to find something. Sora followed me over.
" What are you doing? "
" Finding a best friend. " I said it in a way that said ' Duh, what did you think? '. On the other hand Sora looked half amused.
" I was kidding about the gloves…"
" I know…" I rummaged around for things. I ignored Sora's constant whining till he realized I was and went off to start his own project.
- Ten minuets later –
I searched for something to use for what seems like forever. I was about to give up and draw something until I tripped over something and almost fell. I caught myself and regained my posture, slightly embarrassed I inwardly cussed at whatever I tripped over. " Stupid thing…you're- " I looked to see what I tripped over and then grinned. " …perfect. "
-Another 10 minuets later –
It was perfect and not to mention…all mine. Sora came shortly after I showed Demyx my project, he gave me a B+. Anyway Sora came over to me, sat down and showed me what he made. It was a (badly sown) Heartless animal.
"Marluxia taught us in Home Economics how to sow with a sowing machine. " He would…
" Its really cute, Sora. " Sora beamed.
" Really?! I worked really hard on it. " Sora said proudly.
" I can tell. " I smiled
" Well…what did you make, Riku? " Sora looked around for it. " You DID make one right? " Oh I did, it was beside my chair, the side Sora couldn't see. I picked it up and set it on the table, Sora started at it for a long moment. " Uh…what is it? "
" Its my best friend…" I thought for a moment " …Dennis. "
" Dennis? " The thing I had tripped over was a box, a white perfectly square box. I took a Sharpie and drew faces on it.
" Do you not like Dennis? "
"No. " Sora said blandly. I pulled Dennis close to me and hugged him.
" Well I do, I like Dennis. " Sora rolled his eyes.
" Okay then. " That was pretty much my goal at first, to make Sora jealous…but now…Dennis…is- The bell to go home rang before I could finish the thought. I dropped it, picked up Dennis, grabbed my back pack and went to my car. I put Dennis in the passenger seat and buckled his seat belt.
" I don't want you to get hurt Dennis. I know, you don't have to say thank you. "
" Riku! " Kairi yelled as I went to get in my car, I turned around to see Kairi running toward me.
" Yea? "
" Are you ok? " I blinked
" Yea, I am, why? "
" Sora said you acted strange in art class after you made your…'new best friend' ? " I laughed.
" Dennis? No Dennis is not my best friend. I like Dennis. " Kairi giggled
" Like? As in… friend? Cause you know…Dennis is a box. "
"Dennis is more than a box. " I glared at Kari, got in my car and drove off.
-After work…which means is a home –
I walked inside there ran into my room after saying hi to my mom. I changed into more causal clothes then went down stairs. Leaving Dennis peacefully on my bed.

Yes Riku! Dennis is more than just a box!! Anyway...Riku drank a Diet Coke cause that's what...ahh I never remember which one, Kelly or Jenn ( which ever one plays Riku and Demyx) likes Diet Coke, she said it was he anti-dug. She said that herself on a deviantArt photo of her...cause she was always holding a Diet Coke. Lol anyway...this will be in two parts.... if you didn't realize, this is a one of a kind pairing...a Riku x Dennis. If you don't know who Dennis is ( seriously....) then watch The Sora Show on Youtube. Google it, the first thing that comes up is the video. This pairing is just for laughs lol.
