A/N: HI! I am so, so, so sorry for the delay on this! But, here it is: the first of a two-part chapter! Oooohh!

I'd just like to thank, thank, and thank again the lovely person who left me a review - ya warmed my heart, friend~

Anyway, here is Chapter III: Part 1!

Chapter III PART 1(!):

Riku was wandering around the town, committing mental suicide thanks to the events of last night. Expressing your love for a pregnant guy then ending up face deep in sand. Yay. Every 16-year-old's dream...

At the same time, Manaka was walking down the town and saw Riku, and his very, very Organisation XIII coat.

Preparing to lose all self-respect... and on with the day! she thought.

"Ohai!" she exclaimed, right in his face. "N1C3 T0 M33T Y0U."

"...What, now?" Riku asked, in a tone that just said "I've-just-expressed-my-love-for-a-pregnant-guy-and-ended-up-face-deep-in-sand". Yes, that fact was that easy to tell, just by the tone of his voice.

The girl opened her mouth to say something, but promptly closed it.

"Damn. ...Uh, I mean... Damnz0rz," she said, trying to keep up the l33t-facade.

"G2G. Bai," she said, before running off.

Riku blinked at the proceedings, but let's face it, worse was bound to happen, so he just continued on his way, spreading the saddest, joyless joy ever. Yay.

At the same time, at the town entrance, Axel, Demyx and Luxord were coming through the town entrance.

"Uh... Hey, Axel?"

"Yeah, Demyx?"

The aforementioned Demyx looked confused, and a little scared.

"...Did I just... say words?" he asked no-one in particular, before the confused look intensified by around 30% and he wandered off.

"Hey, wait up!" Axel called.

Luxord just stayed quiet in the background, mentally cursing his luck for getting stuck with those two.

Hm... I wonder what the odds of them spontaneously combusting are...

Seeing a nearby and strategically placed Lexaeus burst into flames, Luxord smiled lightly.

Maybe they're better than I thought...

Meanwhile, Sora was still looking for his boyfriends. He had searched high and low, until he came to the cliffs bordering the town. He was wandering around them until he saw someone looking down to the town.

With no common sense at all in that so-called teenage head of his, Sora approached the figure from behind.

"'Scuse me, have you seen a walking, talking dog or a walking, talking duck?" he asked, under the impression that that was a perfectly normal question to ask.

"A-HA! I found you!" the figure exclaimed, whipping around.

"Oh *beeeeep*, Xemnas!" Sora exclaimed, before he set of running as far as those oversized feet could take him. He ran, desperately trying to avoid imminent doom *dun-dun-DUN!*, down the descending slope back onto flat land, frantically running for the town.

Having got quite some distance between himself and Xemnas, Sora ran into the town centre.

"Sora? What's happening?" Riku asked, seeing Sora's state.

"I... well... ah..." Sora jittered, bouncing up and down, the adrenaline rendering him unable to form proper sentences. He turned to see Xemnas gaining on him, to which he screamed. Loudly.

"VE GOTZ NO SECONDZ LEFT!" Sora exclaimed.

"...What?" Riku asked.

"CHEESE IT!" were the only two coherent words that left Sora's mouth after that, before he grabbed Riku's are and charged away, proclaiming "I'MMA GONNA DIEZ!" at the top of his lungs.

Oh dear...

A/N: So, there it is~ Once again, sorry I took so long! I've had this chapter written for ages, but I never, ever had the time to post it =( But, thankfully I have more time now!
