I sat on the bench outside with Roxas.
"What I can't believe is that you figured out the secret before I did. I mean, I'm the smart one!" I told him.
"Says who?" he replied, grinning at me.
Zidane came out, blushing heavily.
"Garnet... she... she..." he huffed.
"She... she... What?" Roxas imitated, wiping fake sweat off his brow.
"We're kinda in a relationship now..." he mumbled.
"YOU LUCKY SON OF A BITCH!" I yelled.
"Oh man, Rusty's gonna kill me now..." Zidane said.
"Why?" Roxas asked, shaking Zidane's hand furiously.
"He's... kind of her dad..." he added.
Roxas deflated. Kairi came out of the gym. She saw me, and smiled.
"There you are!" she said.
"Um... Hi?" I said unsteadily.
"Come on, hon! The slow dance is on, and I don't wanna miss it!" she said, dragging me back into the gym.
Did she just call me 'hon'? She only calls Riku that, I thought.
Roxas
"Do ya think that truth serum makes fake truths instead of spoiling secrets?" I asked.
"Naw. Squall had some, and spilled his feelings for Rinoa before their relationship," he answered.
"Oh."
"Why'd you ask?"
"'Cause Kairi looks strangely uncomfortable around Sora."
"Riku's gonna kill your brother when he finds out," Zidane said, tail swishing around.
"How about if he finds out?" I countered.
"If. If is good," he said. I opened my phone, and checked the date. It was the middle of December.
"Holy sh*t," I said.
"What's wrong?"
"It's December."
"So?"
"They've hung up the mistletoe," I said.
"How's that a-We gotta go back inside," Zidane said, rushing to the door.
If they've hung up the mistletoe, then Sora's gonna... You bastard, Roxas. How could you not see this coming? I thought.
There was a huge crowd of people gathered in a circle. The whole room was silent. Zidane pushed through the crowd, and I followed. We made it through, and we saw my brother lock lips with Kairi.
"OH MY GOD!" I yelled.
Everyone looked at me. I went to Sora, grabbed his stupid collar, and dragged him outside, Squall and Zidane not too far behind.
"WHAT THE HELL, DUDE!?" I shouted.
"Sorry... I accidentally slipped us under it..." he muttered.
"Accidentally? ACCIDENTALLY!? You just jeopardized your entire life!" I said.
"How? Riku's not gonna know..."
"You stupid idiot! Kairi's in a relationship with Riku because she loves you! You are a fricken' Keyblader! She is a stupid Princess of Heart! You gotta let nature take its course! You gotta make the accident-" I stopped in mid-sentence.
"Accident?" he asked.
"Oh, crap. Now I gotta tell you," I said, knowing I'd have to.
"Here's the scoop. Kairi's gonna be in an accident exactly one week from now. She'll have amnesia, and forget Riku altogether! You just changed the path of time! Now the war's going to full f*ckin' scale!"
Sora just gaped at me.
"I'm so stupid. Namine's going to kill me..." I muttered.
