R&R! New chapter goes up after three reviews!
Chapter one: If I ever forget...
He ran a careless hand through his spiky brown hair, lying on his bed.
"Why didn't I tell her...?" He mumbled to himself, staring at his ceiling.
But then his phone rang, a text message awaiting his presence, and then, with the pouring rain outside his small house, he smiled. Only because the text message said, 'I love you.'
He ran out the door and sprinted to her house, but as he saw the moving truck roll away down the peaceful street, he cursed himself.
‘Idiot! Why did you let her leave?!’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sora! Sora you lazy bum, get up!" His friend shouted, shaking him violently.
"Ah! I'm up, I'm up! Relax Riku! Now what's the matter?" Sora murmured, rubbing his eyes.
"It's Kairi! She's coming back!"
"She what?! Stop fooling with me, Riku.”
"I’m not kidding you. I know it’s hard to believe…after all, it’s been five years."
“Weird. Well, I’m heading out. Keep me posted. See ya tomorrow.”
Sora left the beach slowly, rowing his small, decrypt, wooden boat towards the shore of town. He watched as his house snuck silently onto the horizon ahead, and as he gazed into the never ending twilight, he uttered four words, “I love you too.”
Riku shook his head, sending the water from his hair, and onto the sand. He gazed into the twilight, setting a gentle hand on his knee. He stood after a few moments, holding his wooden sword in his right hand. Wading into the water, he heard a quiet, almost silent, splash behind him and spun around, hitting an off-guard Tidus, and he fell into the water. Riku sighed, putting a bandaged hand to his forehead. He held out his other hand to his friend helping him up.
“So Kairi’s coming back huh?” Tidus asked, flinching as Riku raised his hand up onto the top of the small boys head.
“Yeah. Sora really missed her you know. He waited five years. I don’t think I’d last that long.” Riku said, removing his hand. He held his wooden sword again now, using it as a walking stick.
He chuckled as he heard successive splashing on a young girl’s incoming, and as she jumped on Tidus, Yuna wrapped her thin arms around her lover. Tidus tip his head back and kissed her, running a gentle hand through her brown hair. Yuna took him down to the ground and began kissing him repeatedly on the water’s surface. Riku twitched his eye and raised one eyebrow.
“Hey, you two. Keep it G rated while Riku is in the water. I’m leavin’ now anyways.”
They hardly acknowledged this comment, and continued on as Riku stepped onto the white sand of his favorite beach. He didn’t have too long to admire it though, as Alana, his girlfriend, tackled him and took him down to the sand. They embraced for a moment, and Riku thought warmly, ‘This day rocks.’
Sora threw himself on his bed, flipping his phone open and tapping the AIM button. Hopefully Kairi still had the same screen name. He scouted for her screen name, and, sure enough, there it was. He clicked on it, opening a chat window.
Oathkeeper289: Kairi?
Heart-of-light653: Sora?! Oh my god! I haven’t talked to you in ages!
Oathkeeper289: Yeah! Is it true? Are you coming back?
Heart-of-light653: Yeah!! My dad just got a job transfer! We’re going to live there for the rest of our lives!
Oathkeeper289: Oh God! That’s awesome! When are you back?
Heart-of-light653: Tomorrow, actually. Around three.
Oathkeeper289: Great! I can’t wait to see you! I’m gonna go. Lylas!
Heart-of-light653: Lylab! Bye!

Sora was so excited that he nearly threw his phone. The girl he loved was coming home, and was never going to leave! Could this night get any better? Sora walked downstairs and to the door, but was surprised that the doorknob turned before he touched it.
“Surprise!” Sora’s mom and step-dad yelled as he stepped onto the deck.
Sora followed their finger’s directions, revealing a black BMW, sitting in the drive way. He swore his mouth dropped to the ground. He turned to his parents.
“You trying to bribe me?” He asked with a smile, his step-dad throwing him the keys.
“Is it working?” His step-dad asked, with his famous lop-sided smile.
“Pretty much.”
Sora jumped in the car and put the keys into the ignition, rolling down the window.
“I’m taking her for a test drive,” He said with a grin, “Y’know, a good test to be sure she’s working right.”
His parents just smiled and waved and Sora drove off to Riku’s.
“OH MY GOD!” Riku shouted, staring wide-eyed at Sora’s new automobile.
“Shut up and get in.” Sora said, “What’s a test drive without your best friend?”
Riku laughed at this, jumping into the car. He glanced frantically around the car, stealing a laugh from Sora.
“Oh yeah. It’s flawless.”
Sora started the car, taking off down the vacant street.
Kairi finished packing, glancing at the conversation she and Sora had had, which was still open on her lap-top. She smiled at it, opening the menu and saving it. She remembered what he had said on the day she left now, more than ever, as she began reminiscing.
FLASHBACK
“Sora, come on! I have to leave!” A young Kairi yelled, dragging the young boy through the water and onto shore.
“Kairi…I need to talk to you about something.” Sora said, his face a tint of pink.
“What?” she asked, her face only inches from his now.
“Um…forget it. When you get back to Destiny Islands, remind me and I’ll tell you!”
“And If you forget what you were going to say?”
“Kiss me.”
She hugged him.
“Deal.”
END FLASHBACK
She smiled at her fond memory. ‘I hope he forgot what to say!’
