A/N: To be honest, this started out as a one timer. The problem is that I couldn't fit my plot into one chapter and resolve it… Unless some of you want to read a chapter that has 60k words in it… Wow, this 14-year-old is on a roll!Anyways, I still haven't figured out exactly how many updates per month and I promise that I'll give it to you guys as soon as I work something out about my schedule. The queen of England always invites me to her tea parties.
I'd like to give a big thanks to all those readers who supported me in this story! I couldn't have done it without you guys vouching for me every day! Well, more like every week… So back to the story. -8989™
-Vanilla Ice Cream With An Angel-
Sora just couldn't believe what he just saw.This has to be a dream.But the red Ferrari parked in front of them begged to differ.
Roxas freaked out in front of the car muttering something about how could his baby lose?
Riku sat in silence besides the freaked out blonde. His face hardened and expressionless.
Despite their difference in behavior, they were all thinking of the same thing.
How could we have freaking loss… In three minutes?
The sounds of doors opening from the car in front cat their attention. A devilish looking pyromaniac stepped out from the driver's side and rubbed the back of his flaming red hair. Slamming the door shut, he leaned on his side of the car, looking back at the trio.
"Never doubt a pyromaniac's driving skills. Got it memorized?"
Roxas was the first to break from their I-still-can't-believe-we-just-lost trance and stepped out of the Mercedes. He stared at the driver leaning on his car for a moment and gasped in disbelief.
"A-Axel? Is that you?"
The red haired teen grinned. "The one and the only-"
He was just about to ditch out his infamous quote "got it memorized" when he was cut short by a flying hug, knocking the air out of him.
"Dude when did you come back?" Roxas' arms were still wrapped around the red head. Axel's family moved to Radiant Garden a few years ago. His parents were trying to find a school that he couldn't burn down in less a year. To their dismay, Axel's parents found none. Hoping that their old school forgot about the fire hazard a few years ago, they brought their family back to Destiny Islands.
"Uhh… As grateful as I am to see you too, don't you think you should let go of me now before anyone gets the idea that we're gay?"
"Oh… Right… I was just really excited to see you back…" The blonde awkwardly dropped his arms to his side and took a step back and looked at the remaining guys sitting in the black car, gesturing them to come out and meet his old buddy.
The two redundantly stepped out from the SLK 320 and walked towards the so-called "gay" couple.
"Hey guys this Axel. We've been friends since… Since forever." After introducing themselves and getting to know each other better, the shotgun seat of the car opened. And out stepped an angel.
When the setting sun hit her face, it glowed of radiance. Lighting Sora's world aglow. The blue orbs with a purple tint in her eyes shone like amethyst crystals. Her auburn shoulder length hair flew as the wind played with her hair. Wow. Just wow.Sora was a loss for words.
She shut the scissor doors delicately and took a quick glance towards Sora's direction. Realizing that he was staring, Sora quickly turned away hiding the red on his cheeks. She giggled.
She giggled.
"Why aren't you introducing me to your new friends Axel?" The girl insisted. "Well I'm pretty sure you met the blonde shorty over there." Axel gestured Roxas, only to earn himself a playful shove. "And these two… They're… Err… His friends." How ironic. Telling others to get stuff memorized but he doesn't give a shit himself.
"Sora and Riku." Roxas corrected. Sora made a mental note to thank Roxas for shoving Axel.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Kairi." Kairi… A unique name… After all, she definitely is a unique girl.
She took another glance in his direction and smiled. Sora melted. He was already sweating under the hot sun, but nothing too much he couldn't handle. Until she smiled at him.
She smiled at me. SHE SMILED AT ME. SHE FUCKING SMILED AT ME!
He was still lost in his thoughts about whether how dazzling she looked when someone interrupted him. And it was none other than the angel herself.
"You okay? You seem like your melting under the sun." Her eyes stared deep into his with concern. Melting like a snowman under a hot summer day. He quickly found his voice and managed to mutter something about the warm weather. Sure. Talk about the weather Sora. Smooth.
"I'm pooped after racing you guys. Anyone up for ice cream?" Axel blurted out, saving Sora from further embarrassment. The blonde shrugged. "Sure. Which place are we going to?"
"Naminé's. Her aunt owns the place. I hear they give discounts."
Sora smiled at the thought of ice cream. Nothing like a nice cold, refreshing bar of ice cream to beat tropical weather.
"Naminé, a-as in the girl with blonde hair?" Funny, but it isn't like Roxas to start stammering about a girl.
"Yeah, we planned to drive there for refreshments after school. Then we bumped into you guys, so why not go together?" Kairi ignored the blonde kid's question and walked up to her cousin's car.
"Last one there buys ice cream!" She giggled, music in Sora's ears, before sitting in shotgun and closing the door.
"You up for another race?" Axel clearly doesn't know what affects taunts have on Riku. Before the pyromaniac was even able to say "get the fuck in your car and lets end this", he found Riku facing him with a dark expression on his face.
"Get the fuck in your car and lets end this." With that, Riku cracked his neck before turning around to get into the car parked behind. Touché.
Sora repeated what his friend just said in a more friendly way. "Race you guys there?"
"Loser buys the ice cream. Got it memorized?"
They had to drag the screaming Roxas into the car.
Sora thanked the blonde lady, Serah as she introduced, when she handed him his vanilla ice cream. Because of Naminé's call informming her aunt; the five newly bonded friends were able to get free ice cream.
Roxas refused to get out of his Mercedes no matter what they said about ice cream not going to bite back when he tries to eat it. Axel was forced to stay and convince Roxas to get out and get some fresh air at least. Later on, the red head was forced to hold the blonde in a headlock and threatened him to either get out or have a very important part of his anatomy removed. Roxas finally gave in, after trying many times to bash his captor's face in with no luck.
Riku was leaning against the driver's door and sulked, muttering about "how could I fucking lose again" as he put it.
The brunette pulled out a chair made out of vines from under a table and sat there absent-mindedly eating his ice cream.
The sun was already halfway drowned by the ocean waves, casting various shades of red, orange, pink over Destiny Island. Clouds in the sky resembled puffs of fire blazing in the background. Its breathtakingly-
"Beautiful." Said a voice with equal quality. Sora looked beside him just in time to see an auburn haired girl sitting down beside him.
Sora tried to find something witty to say in his 17 year old head, but all he came up was an "Umm, yeah. I think so too." He mentally face palmed himself for being so useless.
Kairi didn't seem to notice and continued on with the conversation. "You know, I really miss these sunsets. The ones we had at Radiant Garden were never as breathtaking as the ones we see now."
We. As in you and me? Or is there someone else here…
Sora quickly scanned the area, and found that nothing but a few seagulls were close by. Okay… Sora. Calm down. No need to get excited just because the auburn haired girl referred to you and me in the same sentence.
"Y-Yeah…"
"Nothing beats eating vanilla ice cream on a hot summer day." The girl leaned back and contently sighed.
"Wait… You like vanilla ice cream too?" Sora wasn't surprised to find his cheeks getting hotter. Even with his mouth half-full of ice cream, Sora still wasn't able to get rid of the feeling that the temperature around him was rising.
He looked down at her hands and sure enough, there was a vanilla flavored ice cream bar in her tender fingers. She giggled. "Well, if I didn't, would I be enjoying this out here with you?" Oh. Right. That was obvious. Such a stupid question to as-… Wait a minute! Did she just say something about enjoying ice cream with me?
He managed to smile sheepishly back, trying to break the awkward moment. "I've tried others, but none of them taste as… Refreshing." Kairi nodded. "Yeah, I can't imagine a day without vanilla ice cream."
They rested in their comfy chairs and enjoyed the rest of their ice cream
Time flies. When nobody is paying attention, it just speeds by and avoids those who are trying to kill it. After the event in the ice cream shop, Sora just couldn't find any room in his head to polish off his homework. So he just pushed his textbooks aside and lay across his bed, interlacing fingers behind his head.
Still going over the dreamlike events in his head, Sora didn't see his cousin Tidus walk in. "Hey bro. How was school these days?" The shorter teen said with mock concern. Sora knew that his cousin was not a bit interested in what he did, much less than his school stuff.
"Schools' ok."
"Meet any cute girls?" Normally, Sora would've shoved his cousin out of the room and slammed the door in his face for being such an ass. Normally. However, today wasn't as normal as he expected so he just groaned.
As much as I enjoyed it, this kid doesn't need to know.
"So you did meet someone special. Who is it? What does she look like?" Tidus sounded like a girl begging her friends to tell her the newest school gossip.
"No…" Sora muttered under his sigh. His cousin seemed to have read his insincerity off his face. "When did you meet her?"
"Just after school where me and a few friends were hanging ou-" Sora's reply got cut short by a 'whoa-mama' shout coming from his cousin. "You guys had a date?" Sora took this as the cue to throw a pillow at the kid standing in front of his bed, which he narrowly dodged. "I never knew you had game bro!"
"Yeah. Yeah. Think whatever you want. And it wasn't a date. It was boiling out there so they suggested to get some ice cream.
Tidus chuckled. "Okay. I'll believe that." After getting another pillow thrown at him, this one nailing him square in the face, he left his cousin staring at the ceiling on his own.
Yeah. We just happened to get ice cream together. And she just happened to sit next to me outside. While we watched the sun set together.
The more he thought about this, the more it sounded like a date to him.
A/N: So what did you guys think? I managed to introduce a bunch of characters that will be used in the story later. The mysterious red car was driven by Axel. Kairi just happened to sit next to Sora. Oh, I can tell this is gonna get fun! XD
I admit that I used reference from Redeeming Endeavor's Milk and Marshmallows for the ending. It was just so tempting to write like that…
A big thanks to Shire Folk for helping me find my unnecessary typos in the first chapter. And please review and give your opinion on the story so far and suggestions on what should happen in the future and how I should improve my grammar and writing techniques. Thanks! -8989™ c:
