ok! i'm back with the next chappie! i know the story's mood has switched from serious to cute & funny, but i think the characters would cat like that, so, that's how i wrote it.
it's been hard for me to focus on this ff, cause i'm in the process of writing my naruto ff also (which i'm excited about), & i've also got 2 other story ideas that i'm working on (both of which i'm excited about), so it's been touch for me to sit down & write this ff lately. i guess this is what comes with being a writer...oh well. at least i haven't had writer's block yet!
Chapter 88 - aka The Whipped Cream War
“Knock again.” Kairi insisted. “Kairi, we’ve knocked twenty times already! They’re not going to answer!” Anna exclaimed as she beat on the door. “We could break the door down.” Bethany suggested. “No, Bethany. We can’t break Wakka’s door down. We’d have to pay to have it repaired then, and I’d make you pay for all of it. We’ll just use my keyblade.” Anna whipped out her keyblade and pointed it at the door, and they heard a click. “Yes!” Kairi twisted the doorknob, but it wouldn’t budge. “I think you just locked it up.” she said. “I bet the door’s already broken. Maybe it’s jammed or something.” Anna sighed. “See? It’s already broken. It’s fine if we break the door down.” “No, Bethany! It is not fine to break down the door! Look for an open window. I’ll climb through and let you guys in.”
The five girls searched the front and sides of Wakka’s house for an open window. They had gone over to the house five minutes earlier and had been knocking and banging on the door the entire time, but no one answered the door. They didn’t hear anyone inside, either. “I found one!” Emily called. Anna, Kairi, Bethany, and Selphie ran around to the left side of the house where Emily was. “But it’s kinda high up. Maybe if you stand on my back…but that’d still be too short. We could throw something at the window, they’ll hear it, and then they’ll look out and see us!” Emily said. “Uh, Emily, we shouldn’t do that. That’s what guys do to girls they want to talk to when they want to be all romantic.” Anna reminded. “Oh, right. Never mind.” “That’s romantic on Earth?” Kairi asked. “That makes no sense.” Selphie mentioned. “I know. I would be upset if a guy was throwing rocks at my window. What if he broke my window or I opened it before he noticed, and he accidentally threw a rock at me and I blacked out? I think it’s stupid, not romantic.” Anna said as she looked at the window for a moment. “Only you would think of that, Anna. Only you.” Kairi smiled.
“If I jump up and grab the window sill, I should be able to get in. Just don’t stand under the window. If I fall, I don’t want to land on you guys.” “Anna, isn’t this a little dangerous?” Emily asked. “You’re no fun, Emily! She’ll be fine, right?” Bethany said. “Yep. I won’t get hurt, Emily. I do stuff like this all the time. Well, except I normally am not climbing in people’s houses through windows. Okay, so I don’t normally do this kind of stuff. Just go to the front door, and when I get inside, I’ll come let you guys in.” They nodded and waited.
Anna jumped up and grabbed the edge of the window sill. She pulled herself up and through the window. The other four girls went back to the front of the house. Anna jumped down to the floor and looked at the room she was in. Five things caught her immediate attention. Those five things were five boys, being Sora, Riku, Wakka, Tidus, and Alex. Wakka was on his bed, Tidus was on a couch, Alex was on a mattress on the floor, Riku was in a chair, and Sora was simply on the bare floor. They were all asleep, and none of them were wearing shirts. “Why does this awkward stuff have to happen to me?! And why are they sleeping?” She mouthed as she tried to devise a way to get to the other side of the room, where the door was. She had to get around the bed, around the mattress, over the chair, around the couch, and over Sora to get to the door.
She silently and slowly walked up beside the bed, and then slid between the edge of the bed and the mattress. Next, she put her hand on the side of the chair and stepped over Riku’s legs. She stepped up on the arm of the couch and hopped over the back of the couch. Then, there was Sora. He was sprawled out on the ground like he’d been flung there. He abruptly swung his arm out and almost hit Anna. She covered her mouth s she wouldn’t gasp, since he surprised her. He then swung the other way. Next, he started kicking his legs back and forth at the same time, and mumbled the words to “Under the Sea”. His arms were now straight above him, weaving up and down. Anna had an extremely hard time containing her laughter. Then she remembered the girls were waiting on her. She took a long leap and silently landed on the other side of Sora. She quickly opened the door, walked out, and shut it behind her.
As she went to the front door quietly, she breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the door for the other girls and told them to be extremely quiet. “Does Wakka have a video camera?” She asked Kairi and Selphie. “Yea. He keeps it over there in that desk.” Selphie said and pointed to a computer desk. Anna went over and pulled it out of a drawer. Before she shut the drawer, she saw a tube of glitter in the back. She grabbed it and hid it inside the leg of her boot. “Why do you need the camera?” Emily whispered. “Sora’s upstairs singing in his sleep. I think Wakka might’ve been talking, too.” “You’re going to get a video of them while they’re asleep?” Kairi asked, a little surprised. “Oh yea. It’s hilarious.”
She led them to the bedroom and motioned for them to be completely silent. Anna turned on the camera, and started recording. She held it so that it was facing herself and said quietly, “This is what guys look like when they’re dreaming after a long week of little sleep and lots of stress.” She opened the door slowly and made the camera zoom in on Sora. He was still singing “Under the Sea”, but now he was dancing more too it. Emily clamped her hands over her mouth to keep from laughing. Suddenly, he fell limp and stopped singing. Anna turned the camera to Wakka, who was shaking his head. “No, I don’t want it. No, I don’t want that one! Cause I don’t wear pink! No, I don’t wear skirts, either! Why don’t you wear it?! Huh? Uh…n-no…No, I said I don’t like her. Yea, she’s hot, but that doesn’t mean— hey! You can’t tell her I said that cause then she’d know I really like her! I did not! I did not say I liked her! I said I really like fur! Puppies are so much better than hot girls. Cause puppies are cuddly, that’s why! You can hug them all you want and it’s okay! Do that to a girl and you’ll get arrested! I want a puppy…” Anna turned the camera to Alex just in time to see him accidentally roll off the mattress. He hit the floor with a thud, said “Oww.”, and rolled over on his back, but he never woke up. She moved the camera’s focus to Riku. He was slouching in the chair silently and motionless. Anna turned it back to Sora. Now he was singing something about “it’s a pirate’s life for me…yo ho and a bottle of rum” as he swung his arms from side to side. He suddenly switched the song to another one he obviously learned at Atlantica, because he rolled on his side and started wiggling with his arms and legs straight out, like he was swimming as a merman. He started singing pretty loud, and it apparently reached Riku’s ears. “Shut up, Sora!” He moaned as he exhaled, though he kept sleeping. Anna managed to step over Sora and face the camera to Tidus. He was curled up on the couch, hugging a pillow. He had a hard expression on his face. Anna went back to the doorway and zoomed out so that the camera could see all the boys.
“Take the camera and have it watch me. When Kairi gets back, zoom out so you can see all of us.” Anna whispered to Selphie as she gave her the camera. She whispered something to Kairi, and Kairi quickly walked off down the hall. Anna made her way back into the room and went over by the Wakka, Riku, and Alex. She poked Riku’s stomach, but he didn’t budge. “Oh my gosh! Ouch! I forgot how solid his abs are!” She whispered as she clutched her finger she had apparently bent back on his abs. Kairi then came back, holding a can of whipped cream and a bag of cookies. She tossed the can of whipped cream to Anna, who shook it up and popped the lid off. She squirted a pile of it in each of Wakka’s palms and then did the same to Alex as she grinned. Then she got to Riku, whose arms were now resting on the sides of the chair. If she put whipped cream on his hands, it would just slide off onto the floor. She thought for a moment. Then she smirked. She shook the can some more and then drew a huge smiley face on his torso. She then put little circles of the cream on each side of his face. She got Kairi’s attention, and then tossed her the whipped cream can. Kairi set it down, and then tossed Anna the bag of cookies. Anna put two cookies on Wakka, Alex, and Riku’s faces, directly on their eyes. Kairi finished putting whipped cream on Tidus, but instead of putting the whipped cream on Sora’s hands, she did the same thing Anna did to Riku, because Sora’s hands wouldn’t quit tapping on the floor. Anna then sent Kairi to go grab a different camera to take pictures of them. Kairi shortly returned and took pictures of Sora and Tidus, and then Anna took pictures of the other three. She gave the camera to Bethany, who took a few pictures of the entire scene.
Next, Anna motioned for the girls to cover their ears as best as they could. They did so, and then Anna walked over to Wakka’s huge CD player. The speakers were some of the largest she’d ever seen. Kairi picked out a hard core rock CD out of his collection and put it in the player. Anna waited for Kairi to get back to the door and cover her ears. Then Anna turned the volume up as loud as it would go, and pressed play.
Hard core rock blasted through the speakers suddenly. The girls laughed as the boys shot up and covered their ears with their hands. Then they – except for Sora and Riku – realized there was whipped cream on their hands, and now in their ears. “Turn it off! Turn it off turn it off turn it off!” Sora shouted. Anna hit the “stop” button and then fell on the floor, laughing hysterically. “Why there heck is there whipped cream on my hands and my ears?! And what are five girls doing in my room while we’re all sleeping?” Wakka asked as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands. Anna was laughing too hard to even answer. “Oh, shut up. We all know you don’t mind girls being here at all.” Tidus said as he yawned. “He’s still singing!” Anna said as she pointed to Sora. He had somehow slept through the commotion, and was still singing and waving his arms around. Anna fell on her side so that she was now lying on the floor completely. “Can she breathe?” Alex asked. “Not really, but she’ll be fine. Always is. I can’t believe he slept through all that.” Riku said as he looked at Anna and Sora. Suddenly, he fell limp again, his arms above him, with his palms up. “Kairi, quick! Whipped cream can!” Anna managed to say. Kairi found the can and tossed it to her. Anna swiftly put a mound of the cream on each of Sora’s hands. “Blow on his left ear, when I say go!” She told Kairi. Kairi nodded and knelt down on Sora’s left side.
“Go!” Anna said. They both blew on his ears and moved back. He covered his ears with his hands, and then rubbed his face, smearing whipped cream over his face. “Anna, you are so evil.” Riku told her as he grinned. “Yea, you’ll think she’s even more evil when you look at yourself.” Selphie mentioned. Riku looked down at his chest and saw the white smiley face of cream. “That’s great.” He commented sarcastically. “Sora, wake up already!” Kairi said loudly. Sora didn’t move. “Kiss him!” Wakka suggested. “Are you serious?!” She asked. “Uh, well, sorta.” “I’m not kissing him when he’s got whipped cream all over his face!” She said as she looked at Wakka. Then she turned back to Sora just in time for him to cup the sides of her face, pull her closer to him, and kiss her.
“They’re so cute together!” Emily smiled. Anna stopped laughing and smiled too. “Did he seriously just kiss her when his face is covered in whipped cream?” Bethany asked. “No, Bethany, he’s whispering something to her mouth, and he’s covered in hot sauce.” Anna replied sarcastically. “That was random and sarcastic at the same time…” Tidus mentioned. “Very funny, Anna.” Bethany stuck her tongue out at Anna, and Anna stuck hers out at Bethany. “He did it to get revenge on her. He woke up a second ago.” Tidus said. Sora let go of Kairi, who pulled up and felt her face with her fingers. “Soraaaa! I’ve got whipped cream all over my face!” She pouted, although she couldn’t help but smile. “Anna, I have a feeling you were the one who started all this.” Riku told her. “She planned the entire thing!” Emily said, knowing Anna would probably get whipped cream all over her. “I did not! I sorta just…winged it.” She admitted with a laugh and rubbed the back of her head. “She did!” Emily added.
“You’re in for it!” Sora said. “No! You can’t kiss me! Cause Kairi’s your…yea…and I’m not…and that’d be weird and…okay I’m gonna stop cause we all know what I mean. Point is, you can’t kiss me! Ha!” Anna said as she stood up and put her hands on her hips triumphantly, like she’d beat him. “Um, Anna?” Selphie started. “Huh?” “Riku…” She finished. That was all that needed to be said. All the boys stood up and started walking towards her. “But you guys can’t kiss me! Cause…yea. Like Sora, none of you, well, except—” “For me.” Riku said. “We aren’t gonna kiss you, but you better believe we’re gonna soak you in whipped cream.” Sora added. “What about the cookies?” Bethany asked. “Bethany! Now they’re gonna throw a ton of cookies at her or something!” Kairi said. “Cookies? Where?!” Sora exclaimed. “On the floor, now. She and Kairi put them over your eyes when you were asleep. Then they took pictures of you. But Anna told Kairi to do it.” Bethany said, knowing Anna was going to suffer punishment of cookies and whipped cream in some way.
Sora bent down, picked up a cookie, and started eating it. “I want one!” Emily said. He tossed her a cookie he found on the floor. “Now, Anna. Punishment time.” Tidus said, bringing them back to the topic of importance. “Are you guys serious?” She questioned doubtfully. “Serious as ever.” Alex answered. Anna stared at them, and then started backing up. She ended up beside the window she’d come in from. She pushed it all the way open, and then sat on the window sill. Then she fell backwards, flipped in the air, and landed on her feet. “That was awesome, Anna! Wait – no! Get back here!” Sora yelled as she ran towards the beach. She looked back at them and waved, and then kept going. The girls ran down to the front door and tried to leave that way. “The door’s jammed again!” Selphie said, still filming. “Not for long.” Bethany refuted. She then proceeded in breaking the door down. “Let’s go!” She called back as she started running after Anna. The girls followed.
“What are we gonna do? Let her go?” Alex asked the other guys. “Let Anna get away with pranking us like that? Heck no. We go after her. Wakka, go get all the whipped cream you have. Sora, get the cookies. Meet me and Alex outside. Tidus, supervise Wakka and Sora so they don’t get in another food fight.” Riku ordered. “What?! We don’t need supervision! It’s only been two fights we’ve been in!” Sora exclaimed. “You got in two food fights, both of which resulted in five bags of cookies wasted. Now go.” “But I’ve already got cookies.” Sora told him. It was true. Sora had already collected all the cookies that were in the room, and had started eating them. Riku ripped the bag out of his hands. “Go help Wakka! Tidus, come with us.”
still, i await it anxioiusly.
