“Ya okay?”
Selphie grunted, “my legs hurt. The tree scratched them up.”
Wakka smiled, sympathetically. “Wanna ride?” Selphie grinned, and nodded.
Wakka bent down and allowed the girl to climb on his back. Once she was secure, he took off running. Selphie shrieked, hugging his neck tightly.
Tidus fumed as he watched the two. “You okay?” Tidus jumped, looking at Yuffie, who was giving him a queer look.
“What?”
Yuffie shrugged, “you looked upset, that’s all.”
Tidus stared at the dark-haired mainland girl. Did he look upset? Why in the world would he look upset? Tidus just shrugged it off with a smile, “nah, I’m okay.”
Yuffie was still unsure, but nodded, seeming to believe him.
Tidus stared at the fading form of Wakka, with Selphie bouncing on his back. I did feel mad. Whatever for? It’s not like I like Selphie, so why would I have an almost jealous feeling?
“TIDUS! YOU’RE GETTING LEFT BEHIND,” Tidus jumped out of his thoughts and ran for the others.
“Thanks Sora.”
Sora grinned, “it seemed like you were in la la land.”
“Hmm,” Tidus nodded, “my thoughts were in the clouds.”
“LA LU LA LU!”
“Oh no!” Riku groaned, “they’re singing again. Head for the hills.”
Sora and Tidus looked at each other and started to laugh.
“Oh no! They’ve got Wakka doing it,” Riku pointed. Tidus and Sora looked and cracked up. All three girls had Wakka pinned down, and he couldn’t get free. It seemed they were giving him a deal. ‘If you sing, we’ll let you go.’
“Should we help, or watch . . . ” Tidus started.
“Or mock . . . ” Riku added.
“Or laugh,” Sora finished.
“Watch, mock and laugh.” All three boys said at the same time, cracking up.
“Do it!” Selphie jumped on Wakka’s chest, seeming to forget the pain she was in a few moments ago.
“No way,” Wakka shouted, trying to throw the three girls off.
“Please,” Kairi bounced on his legs when he tried to kick.
Yuffie just laughed and played along, hoping this Wakka was a good sport. She was sitting on his hands.
Sora, Riku and Tidus snickered.
“If you don’t, we won’t get up,” Selphie threatened.
Wakka groaned, “what was it again?”
“We won’t you to sing a song. Hmm, I know if you don’t I’ll have Kairi to take of your shorts and give them to Tidus to wear on his head,” Selphie giggled, seeing Wakka’s face turn blood red.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Oh, do you want to try me? Now sing!”
“What is it with you girls and singing?” Wakka rolled his eyes, trying again to get free.
Wakka yelped when he felt Kairi’s hands at his waistband. “I’ll sing! I’ll sing, don’t take my shorts off!”
Kairi giggled and took her hands away. “Okay. It starts, LU LA LU LA.”
Wakka sighed, he knew the song she was talking about. It wasn’t the type he’d normally sing. Not that he ever really sang.
In a quiet voice Wakka started to sing the ridiculous and confusing song.
“LU LA LU LA The piano is a melody in the world's field of blooming dreams
Believe in the broken clock and who's side will time be on?”
“Why is my heart waiting so much for that tender-hearted someone? Tell me a wonderful future,”
“ MOONLIGHT, MOONLIGHT SLEEPIN,” the girls yelled out with Wakka.
“LU LA LU LA The girl of awakenings will kiss the apple of memories and In a book opened with sorrow and longing, the bell meant for the two of us will ring Because I want to hold you tight my dear one”
“Don't cry any more”
“GOOD BYE SADNESS,” Kairi and Selphie belted out this line. Yuffie was hyperventilating from laughing too much.
“The words on the mysterious door read "Ear-playing-tricks Cake"”
“WONDERLAND!” The girls were besides themselves with laughter, but they still managed to get the words you were supposed to yell out.
“Welcome, to you”
“FAIRYLAND!” Selphie bounced harder on Wakka’s chest getting into the song. Wakka grunted and half glared at the girl.
“It's the magic of love”
“LOVE'S ALL THE WAY!” Kairi was the first to notice, Sora, Riku and Tidus watching them and turned blood red. They were acting a bit foolish. Oh well, Kairi shrugged, she didn’t care.
“Every day, the temptations of wheat, so fluffy”
“CAKE FOR YOU!” Tidus snickered at Wakka, he was actually getting into the song, yelling at the proper moments.
“Eat, for tonight is”
“TEA FOR YOU!” Wakka finally noticed the guys watching, mocking and laughing at his and the girl’s display, and choked on the word ‘tea,’ turning blood red. But he forgot about it when he felt Kairi once again reaching for his shorts, and continued to sing, throwing a glare at the dark-haired girl.
“A tea-party in the constellations”
“The chorus of angels at the window is to you, just your ear playing tricks?”
“The voice saying "I love you, I love you"”
“LU LA LU LA To the piano the world is a tiny melody that is dreaming dreams”
“A waltz of prayers overflows from the fingers and it feels oh so nice”
“My heart is always honest, a quiet greeting of sleep”
“Because it is a secret wish”
“HOLLY, HOLLY WHISPER” Yuffie’s eyes were watering. She’d never had this much pointless fun before. She was just being a kid with some other people close to her age.
“LU LA LU LA Everywhere the stove, even when the crescent moon rains down from the heavens Is thawing and giving a HUG to the freezing traveler's heart”
“A path of light in the clean air, if I walk along without straying”
“WELCOME PLEASURE” Wakka stopped caring that the guys were watching and started to enjoy himself. He even started to laugh at the faces Selphie and Kairi were making. He couldn’t see Yuffie, seeing as she was sitting at his head, on his hands, but he was sure she was making funny faces as well.
“The words that appeared in the eyes read "Ear-playing-tricks Cake"”
“WONDERLAND!” Riku looked at Sora and smiled. The boy looked like he was having the time of his life, watching the four in the sand sing. Shaking his head, he wondered what his sister and Sora’s sister were on when they wrote this song. It made no since whatsoever.
“Welcome, for you”
“FAIRYLAND!”
“The joys of love”
“LOVE'S ALL THE WAY!”
“Every day, the adventures in wheat, so exciting”
“CAKE FOR YOU!”
“A simple happiness”
“TEA FOR YOU!”
“With a big smile The chorus of angels at the window is to you, just your ear playing tricks?”
“The voice saying "I love you, I love you"”
Wakka sighed, “It’s done, the songs over,” he yelled. “Now lemme go! ...KAIRI GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SHORTS!”
Kairi started to pout, “ahh, but Tidus wants a Wakka shorts’ hat.”
Sora and Riku were snickering, watching as both Wakka and Tidus turned blood red, throwing glares at Kairi.
“GET OFF!”
Kairi ‘hmphed’ and got off Wakka’s legs. Yuffie let his hands free, and Selphie gave him one more bounce before getting off his chest.
The seven teens turned around when they heard someone laughing. “CLOUD,” Kairi shrieked, running and glomping her brother.
“Whendidyougetbackhowlongareyouheredidyoubringmeanything?”
Cloud hugged his little sister back, shaking his head in amusement, “okay fess up, who gave her sugar?” Everyone laughed, but didn’t fess up. Kairi was hyper even without sugar.
Cloud looked down at his sister’s head, and patted it fondly, “now say that again, but remember to breathe.”
Kairi giggled, “I said: When did you get in? How long will you be here? And,” Kairi grinned sheepishly, “did you bring me anything?”
Cloud smiled, “oh well I got in a few hours ago, and went to visit Squall, then came here to see my baby sister.” Everyone made kissy noises when he mentioned Squall’s name. It was a well-known fact that the two liked each other. But they were both too stupid to admit anything.
Cloud blushed, “hey, is that how you treat a guy you haven’t seen for ages?”
Kairi giggled, “sorry, go on.”
“Well, I’m here for good.”
“Really!” Selphie beamed up at her brother. Cloud used to live with his mom on the mainland, and would come over every summer to visit Kairi and his older brother Rin, who had custody of Kairi ever since her and Cloud’s dad died. “Um . . . why?”
“Oh my mom’s got a new boy toy.” Cloud rolled his eyes, “we don’t exactly get along, so I called Rin and asked if he cared if I moved in with you two.”
“Yay!” Kairi started to jump up and down, “oh back to my earlier question: Did you bring me anything?”
Everyone laughed at that. “What,” Kairi exclaimed?
R&R Please!
