Happy April Fool's Day everyone! Yes I know it's late…just think of this chapter as a super early April Fool's Day gift for next year. Oh yeah, I'm on top of things! And I am proud to say that as far as this story goes what you see before you I can gladly call the PERFECT (yes, I said perfect!) chapter ever! It has humor for all of you that love that, action for all of you who love that, fluff for those who enjoy that stuff, actual romance for my lovers out there (not like mine specifically but…oh you get it), and then Fury freaking out which I know you all love! Read and enjoy! I hope it makes you laugh!

*Wait one quick fun fact (if you don't care you don't have to read) - In France on April the First they have their own version of the American holiday where they basically cut out paper fish and discreetly (or not so much so) tape them to other people's backs XD Their holiday translates into something like April Fish Day (Bonjour to any French people out there, I absolutely love your language and am taking francaise as one of my classes!)

*Riku*

I heard the rustling sound of someone rolling over in the bed to the right of mine for, what, the eleventy-seventh time? I couldn't really blame her though. It had only been two days since Stardust had torn that poor man to shreds. When I find her I'm going to make her pay. The past two nights Lauren had woken up in the middle of the night crying or screaming…or both.

Lauren restlessly turned over again in her bed and, sighing, I rolled over too so I was facing her bed.

"Can I help you?" I asked her quietly. She groaned and face-planted into her pillow.

"Iiiii caaannnn'ttttt slllleeeeeeepppp" She moaned, sounding like a zombie. I waited…and waited…I finally opened my mouth to reply when she took her face out of her pillow and smiled at me. "Tell me a story Riku!"

"Huh?" Does not compute. Lauren rolled her eyes

"A story! You know, like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves-

"That sounds inappropriate"

"Or Cinderella-

"What is that?! A sickness?!"

"Or Sleeping Beauty-

"That would be you if you would actually just go to sleep!"

"Ok you know what forget it!"

"You were serious?" Lauren gave her duh-you-stupid-idiot look.

"Are those real stories?" Lauren sat bolt upright

"I've never heard of any of them…." Lauren frowned

"You're an awful story teller"

"Well my sincerest apologies" Lauren laid flat on her back with a huff, her sheets whirling around her. Hmmm what story can I tell…?

"Do you know what today is?!" I asked her, causing her to look at me curiously.

"March 31st?"

"Well actually it's one in the morning so technically it's…April Fool's Day!" Ta-daaaa, Riku the Amazing Story Teller has done it again! Lauren frowned again

"I liked your commenting on my story ideas more" she pouted. I sat up and crossed my arms

"Well I'm sorry I couldn't please you Princess" I said sarcastically, really- I'd had half as much sleep as I'm used to getting over the past two days because of her. Shouldn't she be looking for ways to entertain me? I couldn't help but smile as I thought of what things she could do to entertain me…heheh

"What are you smiling about?" My fantasies shattered and I racked my brain for something logical to say

"I'!" I ran out of the room, no, sprinted for my effing life out of the room.

*Lauren*

He's starting to act more and more like Sora by the day.

I know. It's so sad isn't it?!

I don't…really…care

Now what?

He went to the training room.

So?

Let's follow! And when we get there we can pulverize him!

...Sure why not

And without further ado I slid out of my bed, retied my shorts, un-twisted the straps on my tank top and off we/I/us went.

When I got to the training room Riku was in the BGB (A/N: Big Glass Box where you fight virtual Heartless for those of you with the memory span of a goldfish!). I snuck over to the control table and peeked over to see Riku fighting Heartless and giving it his all. He had probably only been fighting for maybe five minutes but he was already sweating…and he was shirtless.

While angels sang to me from the heavens above Fury took control of our (?) hand and turned the level up ten notches. My beautiful song was cut off abruptly when Riku was knocked to the ground by an over-sized Neoshadow. Fury merely separated herself from me so she could keep her hand on the control.

"Hey!" I quickly summoned up my blades before attacking Fury, accidently hitting the controls while I did so. I tackled Fury to the ground and we began trying to murder each other like teenage twin brothers.

"A little help out here!" I heard Riku shout and I quickly threw Fury off of me and turned the BGB off. I ran into the BGB, stopping a few steps into it. Riku was standing towards the center, panting, shirtless, sweating, and with a small cut on his cheek which was oozing blood. The angels resumed their singing.

He looked exactly like that hot actor playing the war-beaten hero in every girl's favorite movie. He looked hot. No, that didn't do him justice. It was more like s-

I can hear you!

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and ran up to my se-Riku. I quickly ran up to Riku…riiight.

"Are you ok?!" I asked him, rubbing a droplet of blood off his cheek with my thumb. He gave me a tired smile.

"I'm good" I hugged him tightly.

"Good. If you were hurt I would've had to exile Fury forever." Riku collapsed to the ground theatrically.

"Aaahh it hurts so much!" he gripped the area over his heart and rolled over, moaning in pain.

"Oh be quiet you" Riku grinned, like an actual full-toothed grin. My insides melted. My brain too

"Hello? Hey Blondie snap out of it!" Riku clapped in front of my face, trying to get me out of my trance. Purely on impulse I put both hands firmly on each side of his face and pulled him into a long kiss. Heh impulse, we'll just go with that. He kissed me back hard, pressing his mouth against mine with such intensity it was like borderline need to be near me. He gently bit my bottom lip, silently asking. I hesitated just a second…before opening my-

"Oh my god you two stop it! Stop it right now! It's like I'm not even here!" Fury screamed, hitting such high notes it made my ears ring.

"It'd be better if you weren't" Riku pointed out calmly, pulling his mouth away from mine, but keeping his hands around my waist. When did those get there?

Determined to find something to distract myself from Fury's shrieking and what Riku had just done to me (and my teenager hormones yes I'll be honest) I summoned up my Keyblade and murmured a cure spell next to his cheek. He gave a small smile and rubbed the blood away from where the cut had been, thanking me with his eyes.

"You two disgust me" Fury said, shaking her head back in forth. I ignored her and looked at Riku

"Can my battle rugged warrior handle one more fight?"

"Hell, when you put it like that how am I supposed to say no?"

"You aren't" I explained. Riku chuckled before summoning up Way to the Dawn.

"Alright, bring it on!" Riku walked out of the BGB over to a wider area, expecting me to follow. I walked up to Fury and held out my hand.

"This is my way of making it up to you." She rolled her eyes, still grumpy.

"If I wanted to kick Silver Haired Bastard's ass I would rather do it as my own being."

"But this way he won't see it coming." I pointed out slyly. Her eyes met mine. Slowly she smirked and got a vicious gleam in her eye.

"Let's do this"

"But no maiming or murdering" I told her, holding my hand just out of reach.

"Take all the fun out of it why dontcha?"

"I try"

*Riku*

Lauren came out smiling in a very Fury-ish way. Odd. I looked around to see no Fury. Now if Lauren wasn't my girlfriend I would've suspected that she and Fury had formed one person so they could totally kick my ass. But Lauren was my girlfriend and she was in a good mood, as sleep deprived as she may be. So she wouldn't do that to me right? Right?!

"Ready to get this show on the road?" Lauren called from maybe thirty feet or so away.

"Bring it!" I yelled, positioning my blade in my hand so that it felt comfortable. Lauren started running, without a blade in either hand and then, when she had maybe fifteen feet to go between us she summoned up Fury's black sword and her eyes turned the color of fresh blood.

Lauren/Fury jumped into the air, flipped, and brought her black sword down hard on the floor of the training room. A jolt of black lightning sparked up from the ground in a vertical wave, heading straight for me. I just had enough time to mentally scream you chea- before being hit by the wave. I managed to absorb the attack with my wonderful blade, but was sent flying backwards. I flipped backwards in a large arc before landing on a thin beam over top of the weight area with grace I never knew I possessed.

I quickly collected myself before running across the beam, not focusing on the skinny path, because that would make me fall. I was maybe a few steps away from the end of the metal when everything went black. Damn.

*Lauren*

I was preparing myself for Riku's attack overhead when suddenly everything went dark. I felt the vertical pupils in my red eyes widen to take in the scene, but before I could really absorb my view Fury pulled herself out of me, causing my vision to go dark.

At the same time as she announced "The power's out, I'll go see what I can do" I heard Riku cry out before a series of painful shouts and the sound of falling metal echoed through the room. A dull thud ended the noise.

"Riku!" I sprinted in his direction, tripping over a fallen dumbbell, which turned out to be fortunate because my right hand landed on his ankle. I heard the strained sound of his breathing and quickly scooted closer to him, using my hands as my eyes.

When my hands felt over his chest they stopped abruptly. I found the problem. From what I could tell one of the weights had fallen right on Riku's bare chest, probably breaking a few of his ribs and maybe piercing a lung in the process. I leapt to my feet and began to pull with all my might at the weight, but it was just too heavy. I'd never been one to possess great upper-body strength. Riku's breath was coming in short gasps now and he let out a short groan of pain.

"I'm sorry Riku I'm trying!" my eyes were watering now, the feeling of helpless desperation seeping into my body.

"Move over" Fury nudged me aside, hitting my hip with hers. She single-handedly picked up the weight a tossed it a few feet away almost casually.

"Now I will go see what's going on" I heard her say, before her footsteps faded off. Riku made the mistake of breathing in deeply, cutting of the breath as his injuries attacked him. I bent back over and lightly placed my hand on his chest.

"Cure" I said before experiencing a wave of dizziness, the black lightning wave had used up almost all of my magic and the cure spell finished it off. Riku groaned before cautiously sitting up.

"Are you ok now?" I whispered, my voice traveling easily in the dark.

"Yeah I'm alright; I think my ribs are just bruised now" Hs voice sounded thick, sort of sticky…

"Oh my god Riku!" In one fluid motion I leaned against a metal bar and pulled Riku somewhat into my lap. Sure I can drag the teenage boy across the floor but can't pick up a stupid weight.

I swept his sweaty bangs away from his eyes and kissed his now-wet cheek gently. He made a move to get up but I held on fiercely.

"Please don't tell me you're one of those guys who thinks crying is a sign of weakness" I used to think like that, but now I know better. We are all just human, even the guys…no matter how strange they are. Riku remained silent. "Well I don't care if you cry on a regular basis" I told him firmly, running my hand through his silver hair before tracing his muscles as they went down the side of his arm with one finger. He let out a weird combination of a sigh and a moan ("Mmmm").

"What? You don't agree with me"

"No not that, it's just you don't have any idea how good that feels, especially after almost being killed by a stupid weight" I experimentally ran my finger down his arm again. I felt him smile against my neck. "Yeah, just like that"

I kissed his hair gently before running my hand through his hair again, running down to the very tips of the silver where I knew it to be almost white. Then my hand glided over to the right spot on his shoulder, a spot I knew for a fact was sore from routine Heartless fighting. I massaged the spot gently with my thumb. Riku did that weird little sigh-moan thing I was coming to like.

Next I moved my hand over his shoulder and, reaching over his arm, I traced the curve of his neck gently, moving as far over as my hand would allow. I then proceeded to run my index finger along his jaw line, then his cheek bone, up to his forehead where I brushed his persistent bangs away from his face. I gently ran my hands over his smooth eyelids, brushing past his dark lashes. I ran my finger over the bridge of his nose, down his other cheek and to his mouth which was opened just slightly in a relaxed sort of way. Finally I traced over his soft lips before pulling my hand away.

I felt his head tilt up towards mine and I carefully leaned down, not wanting to screw this up in the dark. My lips landed against his perfectly (thank god). My hand reached down to grasp his, holding it gently while Riku's hand tightened over mine. I used my free hand to pull my hair away from my face. If my blond locks got in the way of me and Riku's alone time nobody would be happy. Me, the Boyfriend, or the Hair. He tilted his head, deepening the kiss, before gently tracing my lips with the tip of his tongue. I felt an intense shiver travel down my spine.

Riku smiled against my lips before going back to kissing me. I, on the other hand, mentally frowned. Sure pleasure was a haze that covered my brain and erased all bad thoughts, but my boyfriend was obviously holding the upper hand in this kiss. Now how to change that…

Then, out of nowhere, a bright flash of light went off, followed by a click, and then following that the lights came back on. Riku and I jumped apart and looked around in shock.

There, standing just outside the training room, were the entire remainder of people on this ship. Even Fury!

*Riku*

I blinked at them in surprise. What the fuck is their problem? They are all grinning like total idiots…ohhh ok, so you guys saw me and Lauren kissing. Big deal guys that's just the most incredible thing ever. Stick around; you'll see a lot more of it.

Then Sora held up a camera. A stupid, silver, shiny, digital, top-of-the-market camera. He waved it back and forth over his head.

"I'm sending this to your fan club back home!" He yelled cheerfully. Yes I have a fan club, so does Sora in fact. Yeah mine's bigger but hey, we can't all be as lucky as my stupid friend. "Alright everyone on the count of three! One…two…three!"

"APRIL FOOL'S!" Everyone cheered. I glanced at Lauren, an amused smile on my face. I frowned though when I saw how outraged she looked. She leapt to her feet, summoning the Oblivion and Fenrir.

"This was all just a practical joke?! The lights too?!"

"Hey stuff happens when the lights go out!" Tidus pointed out. Heh true

Lauren broke into a run, going straight for my stupid friends. "Riku could have DIED! All because of your stupid PRACTICAL JOKE!" Everyone yelled and ran for cover. I just chuckled to myself, still sitting on the ground. I didn't think I'd ever seen Lauren so mad…and it wasn't directed at me! Score…hey wait a second…was Sora serious about sending that picture?! Those crazy girls will eat me alive!

"SORA!" I jumped up and charged off in the direction he had run. Lauren hadn't gone after him, but man oh man he was gonna have a reason to fear for his life now!

Hahaha this was basically just a filler chapter, not really anything important. I still hope you all enjoyed it though. I actually came up with this chapter while I was still half asleep this morning on vacation to North Carolina. I almost made this an entirely different one-shot story but I figured it had too much in common with ITWILTL (in common=Fury and Lauren). Well I hope everyone liked it! My next chapter will probably be filler too but I think it'll be pretty interesting. Happy April Fool's Day '10 (and '11!)

Oh and in the spirit of pranks and funny and that sorta stuff I've got a question that does inspire a little creative thinking:

Let's say Sora did send that picture of Lauren and Riku kissing to Riku's oh-so-obsessed fan club back home. How do you think they would react? Simple answer or a few paragraphs, up to you. The best/funniest one (or maybe the only one I get…we'll see) I will post at the beginning of my next chapter!
