Chapter 9: The Party
Sora and Roxas left Soras' house around 6:40 p.m. As they stepped outside they saw the last glimpse of the sun as it set and the beautiful red-orange colors of the sunset faded to the blackness of the night sky.
When the shore of the main island came into view Sora realized something "How are we going to get there?" he turned around to face Roxas. "Can't we take your boat?" he asked. Sora shook his head no, "It's too small" he said sighing. "After a year without being used I barely fit in it." he finished.
"Great" Roxas spat sarcastically. "Then how will we-" he was cut of by the sound of someone running toward them. He looked back and saw Kairi and Namine running towards them.
Kairi was wearing a short-sleeve, light pink dress which fell just above her knees. Over it was a long-sleeve, red sweater which ended above her stomach. Her red hair had been pulled back into a bun and above her right ear was a white rose.
Namine was nothing less. She still wore her white dress, but under it was a long-sleeve, navy blue shirt. She had also put on a pair of black pants with a blue and red flower pattern along the left side. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail.
Sora and Roxas could help but stare in awe as the girls reached them. They giggled when they saw the boy's reactions and walked the last few feet. Kairi stood in front of Sora and Namine in front of Roxas. "What do you think?" Kairi asked. "Y-y-you l-look, I m-mean, wow" was what Sora managed to say.
Roxas just smiled at Namine and that's all she needed. She sent him a smile back and then looked around. "Where's Riku?" she asked. "I guess on his way, we haven't seen him." Roxas answered.
"Here he comes!" Sora exclaimed looking behind Kairi. Sure enough a tall figure began approaching slowly in the distance. From there all that could be identified was silvery flowing hair reflecting off the moonlight.
As it got closer the group could finally see Riku's face. He was wearing his usual yellow vest, only now he also had on a black short-sleeve shirt under it. His pants were as well his normal jeans.
"Didn't you go all out" Kairi said sarcastically. "Well excuses me!" he spat out. "None of my clothes fit me anymore, I haven't been home in over a year and I grew like half a foot." the rest of the group was having a hard time keeping themselves from laughing.
"Anyway," Sora started "getting back on task, how are we going to get there?" he asked. "I don't know about you guys but Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, and I all got new boats a few months ago" Kairi informed the group. They all stood there for a moment before Roxas got an idea. "Maybe I could summon a portal that we can use." the blonde stated. "Can you still do that?" Sora asked his nobody with a surprised tone. Roxas shrugged his shoulders. "It's worth a shot." then he held out his hand and concentrated on the island.
Sure enough a dark portal appeared before the group and they all followed Roxas through it. When they exited they were standing before the Seaside Shack. "We've got ten minutes to get the place set up before everyone comes." Kairi said in a proud tone. "Let's do it!" she exclaimed and ran toward the shack. Sora ran right behind her while everyone else decided to walk.
Kairi opened the door and looked around to see what was left to do. To her relief not much was left after everything they had done the previous day. All that needed to be done was set up the buffet table. Namine and Kairi worked on that while the boys looked at the CD's to figure out what order to play them in.
With in five minutes everything was ready and not a moment too soon. A few minuets after they finished Tidus and Selphie came bursting through the doorway (more like Selphie dragging Tidus into the room) with Wakka not far behind.
Selphie was wearing a short-sleeve yellow dress that resembles the overall one Sora remembered her wearing the day before the heartless attacked the island a year ago. The only difference was that her current dress was a little longer. She chose the natural, non-make-up looked, and her shoes were a new pair of black sandals.
Tidus had on a pair of jeans ripped at the knees and a yellow shirt with a navy blue vest. Black Nike's with white symbols covered his feet. He had grown about three inched taller in the past year and Sora and Riku couldn't believe how much he had changed in one year when they first saw him.
Wakka on the other hand hadn't changed a bit. He wore a tan shirt with a blue bandana around his head. His hair was swerved in its usual, unusual position. His pants were baggy, white, sweats and dark blue sandals on his feet.
"What's up man?" Wakka greeted everyone. "Who are they?" Tidus asked when he noticed Roxas and Namine. Sora walked up to Roxas and Kairi to Namine. "These are our cousins" Sora lied easily. "How come we've never seen them before?" Selphie asked. "Their from another part of the island" Riku answered quickly. "Well anyway it's nice to meet you." Selphie said extending her hand. The three quickly shook and Tidus and Wakka did the same. "Any relatives of Sora and Kairi are friends to me." Tidus smiled. "Welcome to the fun island, ya." Wakks told the two. "Thanks" the nobodies replied simultaneously.
After all the greetings Sora spoke up, "Come on! In case you all forgot we're here to have a party." and with that being said Riku made his way over to the radio and played the first CD. It was Nickel backs 'All the right reasons'. Of course Sora and Selphie were the first to begin dancing randomly and eventually the others, minus Riku and Roxas, got into it as well.
Half an hour into the party Sora took a break from his 'dancing' and told Kairi to come with him. She was more than happy to follow Sora and get him alone to pop the question. He led her into the secret place and stopped in front of two very familiar drawings. The ones they made of each other when they were little, the only thing that had changed was the poupu they had drawn for each other.
"Kairi, can I ask you something?" Sora hesitated. "Anything" she replied in a loving tone. Sora took a deep breath and gently held her hands. "Will you…be my girlfriend?" he asked at last. After he asked her eyes seemed to light up brighter than ever before and she lightly grabbed his hands back. Grinning ear to ear she gave her reply "YES!!" she exclaimed, wrapping him into a tight hug. He smiled and hugged her back. They were brought out of their romantic moment bye the sound of soft laughter around the corner.
"You can come out now" Sora stated casually. Selphie, Tidus, Wakka, and Riku came out from the shadows and stepped into the moonlight with Sora and Kairi. Sora looked around and noticed the missing pair. "Where are Roxas and Namine?" he gave Riku a confused look. "I think there having their own 'moment' " he smirked.
-With Roxas & Namine-
They were looking at the moonlight reflect off the ocean in front of the poupu tree. Roxas turned to face Namine, much the same way Sora did Kairi. He took her hands and looked into her eyes that seemed to glow in the light of the moon. "Namine…" he was trying to build up the courage to ask.
"What is it?" she asked in a soft innocent voice. 'If Sora can do it so can you' he thought to himself. "Would you…be my…girlfriend?" he finally asked turning bright red. Namine's entire face just lit up. Roxas was shocked when he realized what Namine had done.
When reality hit him he found her face closer to him than ever. Then he felt a relaxing warmth on his cheek. 'She kissed me!' he screamed in his head. As she backed away Roxas could only stand in shock as he deciphered what just happened. "I'd love to" Namine said in a loving tone.
Roxas finally snapped out of his trance-like state and smiled at her. They both leaned closer to each other and their lips met. At that moment to them nothing could be more prefect.
-Later-
It was now 9:05 p.m. and the party had just ended not to long ago. Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka had all left for home while everyone else stayed to clean up. Sora and Kairi stuck each other like glue; the same could be said about Roxas and Namine.
Altogether it took them about twenty minutes to get everything picked up. "Time to go home" Kairi said a slightly sad tone in her voice. "Right" Roxas said extending his arm to open another portal. They walked out and onto the main island. "Would you like us to walk you home?" Sora asked Kairi and Namine as they began walking away. "That's okay." Kairi replied. "Riku's house is in that direction anyway. Besides…" she said playfully. "Starting tomorrow we'll be seeing a lot more of each other" both girls giggled before grabbing each of Riku's arms and pulling him down the street and out of sight.
Roxas looked over at Sora, who was currently staring out towards the ocean. He seemed relaxed as the cool ocean breeze brush over his face. "Sora?" Roxas asked softly. "Tonight was a good night, wasn't it?" he said more than asked. Roxas let a smile grace his face as he remembered the kiss. "Yeah, it was." he walked up be hind Sora and joined his daze.
Suddenly Sora felt weak again and fell to his knees. "Sora!?" he heard Roxas call. Roxas knelt down beside the tired brunet and patted his back. Sora looked up and gave a weak smile. "Thanks" he said and slowly stood up.
When they started making their way home Sora and Roxas both felt that something was wrong. "Who's there!?" Roxas exclaimed. They heard a faint laugh and quickly spun around.
Both boys' eyes widened when they saw the owner of the laughter. Standing before them was an old man with pointed ears. The only hair he had was a pointy grey beard on his chin. His eyes seemed to glow a foul yellow color and his grin was just as evil. The man wore snow white glove over his hands and a large, heavy, black coat that fell to his feet. Under the coat was a white dress shirt; it was unbuttoned just low enough to show his chest. Finally he had on a pair of plain black pants and black boots.
"Who are you?" Sora almost whispered at the sight of the man. The strangers grin widened as he answer in a harsh, raspy voice. "I am Master Xemnort."
