[thunderedge]

Leon: *hands Cloud a plate of food* ....You might not like it, just warning you again.
Leon: *hands one to Aerith and Zack too* *leaves to the kitchen*
Aerith: :]
Cloud: *looks at it for a minute*
Cloud: What did he say this was again?
Aerith: *shrugs* It's good though. I've had it before. Last time I had to threaten his house to try his cooking.
Cloud: *tries some*
Zack: *digs in heartily*
Izzy: (Zack will eat anything. XDD)
Aki: (I can tell XDDD)
Aki: (he seems like one of those characters XD)
Izzy: (heck, well, he had to get used to Aerith's cooking XD)
Aki: (ooohhhhh yeaaah haha)
Yuffie: *pushes Leon out of the kitchen, with a plate in her hand* You're not getting out of eating with us~!
Leon: H-hey!
Yuffie: Sit and eat!
Leon: ....
Yuffie: *pushes him down, and shoves the plate into his hands*
Yuffie: *skips off to get her own food*
Leon: ....
Cloud: *opens his mouth to say something, then catches Tifa's look and swallows*
Izzy: ("Don't talk with your mouth full." XD)
Cloud: it's good.
Izzy: (he's still like a kid in some ways)
Aki: (yeah)
Leon: ....thanks.
Aerith: *happily eating*
Aki: (somewhere else, Sora's walking briskly away, stabbing things XD)
Tifa: *eating*
Leon: *poking at his own food, moving it around with his fork*
Tifa: *leans forward* Something wrong, Leon?
Izzy: (I think Cloud was so hungry he didn't notice XD)
Leon: Hmm. No. Not really.
Leon: ...*goes back to poking his food*
Tifa: hmmm...where's Sora? He didn't come back yet?
Tifa: I'm sure he'd love to try some.
Leon: ...I think he went to kill things.
Tifa: ......
Leon: He's had some. I made him some when he was sick.
Sora: ....
Riku: *catches up*
Sora: .....*drags Keyblade on the ground*
Riku: ....what's wrong?
Sora: Just bothered.
Sora: It was the same feeling before I apparently got Geostigma...It also...
Riku: ............
Riku: What do you mean?
Sora: It also...I...
Sora: The same impending doom feeling.
Riku: ........
Sora: It didn't bother me before...but...
Riku: I...felt something too,
Riku: I'm not sure what.
Sora: yeah..
Sora: I also..
Sora: Feel something else.
Sora: Really familiar. Roxas is getting worried, too..
Riku: ..........
Riku: Familiar....how?
Sora: ...The Nobodies.
Sora: Not...that they should be a problem..
Riku: No, but why...
Sora: *shrugs* It's weirding me out.
Sora: I saw him die! I felt myself kill him...it's too weird.
Riku: ........
Riku: There have been a lot of strange things happening if you think about it...
Riku: people who should be gone...
Sora: ...Y-yeah.
Sora: But, still. It's weird to me.
Riku: The whole thing is weird.
Riku: The question is why.
Sora: ...The Heartless are back, why shouldn't the Nobodies?
Roxas: ....It's pretty simple.
Sora: ...*jumps slightly*
Izzy: (...XD)
Aki: (^^; )
Izzy: (haha....I'm just remembering that Roxas doesn't...like Riku. XD)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Roxas: ....I can't believe you're my Other, still.
Sora: hee hee. *nervous grin*
Roxas: *sighs* But...if the Organization comes back..
Sora: You won't join up with them, again, will you?
Roxas: Of course not!
Roxas: ...And if he puts on that cloak again, I will strangle him! *point to Riku*
Roxas: He got me in a hell lot of trouble!
Riku: ...*glares*
Roxas: ...waitaminute
Roxas: If the Organization is here..
Sora+Roxas: AXEL!
Sora: I hope Axel's okay~
Roxas: Same. But, really, if Riku puts that cloak back on because he thinks it's cool, then I'll strangle him.
Sora: If he doesn't strangle you first.
Sora: He's amazingly strong!
Roxas: ...you think I don't know that?! He gave me Hell when we fought!
Riku: ...will you stop talking about me like I'm not here?
Sora: If he puts the cloak on, I'll also strangle him, since it means he'll leave again!
Roxas: Hah!
Sora: *TACKLEGLOMPHUGS RIKU*
Roxas: *snickers*
Sora: *hugging Riku*
Riku: ...I'm not gonna leave again, so you can stop hugging me as if I were.
Sora: ....
Riku: I can't...breathe.
Sora: oh!
Sora: *lets go*
Riku: *gasps a bit*
Sora: ...If you leave, I WILL hunt you down. And the ending result WILL NOT be pretty. hmph.
Sora: *crosses arms* but I know you won’t~ <333
Riku: *smiles a little*
Sora: *GASP* YOU SMILED
Sora: :OOOO
Sora: :DDDDDDDDDD
Riku: ....huh? *didn't notice*
Sora: RikuRiku smiled!
Sora: *grinning widely*
Sora: *pokes Riku* iwannavisitkairi iwannavisitkairi iwannavisitkairi
Riku: All right! I said we would. But don't you think we should resolve things here?
Riku: I mean...you don't want to put her in danger, do you?
Sora: ......
Sora: She knows how to fight.
Sora: And I won’t let anything happen to her!
Riku: Yeah, but...
Izzy: (He doesn't like the fact that he's losing the argument XD)
Aki: (XDD)
Sora: ....can we at least VISIT her?
Riku: Okay.
Riku: ..........
Riku: Wait.
Sora: ?
Riku: But Aerith crashed the Gummi Ship...
Riku: ....into Cerberus...
Sora: ...I have my own Gummi Ship! You didn't know?
Sora: I built it myself!
Riku: ....
Sora: With all the items I found in the warp gates
Izzy: (he's totally thinking, "I want my own gummi ship! I'd name it Highwind!" XDDD)
Aki: Sora: I named it Highwind for you, by the way
Riku: ..........
Izzy: (*giggles*)
Sora: ...and there was no "your mom" joke involved in naming it.
Sora: LETS GO~
Riku: Ha ha. ---
Riku: We should tell everyone before we leave, they'll worry!
Izzy: (haha, it sounds like he really doesn't wanna go XD)
Sora: GOOD BYE TIFA, AERITH, LEON, CLOUD AND EVEYONE ELSE!
Sora: y'know what!
Izzy: (it's not really that actually, I think Riku just worries too much)
Sora: ...Roxas, you stay here and tell em! *drags Riku off*
Roxas: ...
Riku: *is dragged* .........
Sora: And Highwind has the best laser system!
Sora: And it's SUPER fast
Riku: *sigh*
Riku: Okay, I get it.
Sora: AND THE BEST THING ABOUT OUTER SPACE IS
Sora: SPACE PAOPU FRUITS!
Riku: ...WHAT?
Sora: There's paopu fruits in space!
Riku: .....somehow I don't think you could eat them...
Sora: Oh, I tried.
Sora: I think they make better decorations for Gummi Ships!
Riku: ....
Riku: really...
Sora: I'll get you one!
Sora: They come in funny colours too!
Sora: Like Red and Green and blue, and purple too
Riku: .....
Sora: And you don’t seem to want to come, so we can wait.
Sora: Or I can go.
Sora: Or whatever.
Riku: No, I'll come.
Sora: You sure? You don't have to...
Riku: Yeah.
Riku: I'm sure.
Izzy: (he's just a bit disturbed by the space paopu fruit stuff XD)
Sora: Okay~~!
Sora: ..........Destiny Island's gonna be too warm...hang on~!
Or I can change at my house...
Sora: Let us be off on our universe adventure!
Sora: Together!
Sora: *goes up the stairs to the Gummi Ship, and pulls Riku along*
Riku: *can't help it, laughs a bit*
Izzy: (Sora just acts so silly sometimes XD)
Aki: (ohh. He knows XD)
Sora: *presses a few buttons and grabs the wheel* Go sit on one of the bean bag chairs or something~
Riku: *sits as close to the front as he can and makes sure there's something to hold on to*
Sora: ....I'm not THAT bad a flyer..
Sora: I was just really excited that time...
Sora: I didn't know it'd leave a lasting impression.
Riku: What? It's just a precaution...>.>
Izzy: (haha, he's getting a bit paranoid)
Aki: (haha)
Sora: ....Fine, you drive. >:D
Riku: You sure?
Sora: What, don't know how?
Izzy: (XD I don't think he does, actually...)
Aki: (haha)
Sora: I can teach you?
Riku: All right.
Sora: *grins* come over to the wheel, you know how these work. Just like the videogames in Hollow Bastion~
Izzy: (he always, like, used that teleporty thing before XD)
Aki: (...cheater XD)
Izzy: (haha true)
Riku: Like this?
Sora: *nods* yep~
Sora: Just think of this like a video game.
Sora: We play those all the time.
Sora: They steer the same.
Riku: Except that you can crash in a video game and not suffer any bodily harm...
Sora: >:D Curaga's built in.
Sora: Blue button is take off. :]
Riku: ........
Sora: Red one is land, since I made that mistake before..
Riku: hah.
Sora: Green is accelerate.
Riku: What's this one do?
Sora: Which one?
Riku: *points to a purple button*
Sora: Best part!
Sora: Laser ignition~
Izzy: (XDDD he's wayyy too happy about this)
Aki: (XDD)
Riku: .....just what did you outfit this ship with, anyway?
Sora: Triple Laser Canons, gift from Captain Jack.
Sora: Ice laser
Sora: 4 fire lasers
Sora: The swirly blue and yellow button over here..~
Sora: Spins the ship
Sora: it's pretty fun.
Sora: And keeps you out of danger
Sora: THIS SHIP HAS AEROGA
Sora: WHICH IS AWESOME
Riku: *trying to remember which button does what*
Sora: it also has a kitchen, 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and storage
Sora: ...Okay, swirly button swirls the ship
Sora: simple and easy to remember.
Riku: ...I got that.
Sora: Red, think of that meaning stop, so it lands the ship
Riku: Purple is lasers, green is...
Riku: accelerate.
Sora: Good, good :D
Riku: Blue is take-off.
Sora: Yep!
Sora: We don’t need a crappy raft!
Sora: >:D No raft could blow things up
Sora: Three, two, one!
Sora: *presses the blue button*
Riku: *grabs the steering wheel*
Sora: Oh yes, if you get tired of the all awesome, enthralling, EXCITING ship driving, there's autopilot~
Sora: Voice activated. ^^
Riku: I don't think I'll get tired of it
Sora: That's good~
Sora: LOOK FLYING HEARTLESSSSSS
Sora: shoot them >:DDDD
Riku: *presses the purple button*
Sora: *grabs the lever and the Heartless get blown up*
Aki: (there's a lever on the side, to aim XD)
Aki: (forgot that one ^^)
Izzy: (oops XD)
Sora: Here's something else!
Sora: Give me the keychain to your Keyblade.
Riku: Huh? Why?
Sora: I wanna show you somethin'~
Riku: ....*gives it to him*
Sora: *connects it to a little chain on the wall*
*the Gummi Ship grows a Way to the Dawn key blade outside*
Riku: *stares*
Sora: *does the same to the other side with his own keychain*
Sora: There, a kickass gummiship~
Riku: Which way now?
Sora: *thrusts his arm forward and Oblivion stabs a few heartless outside* Go North East~
Riku: .......
Izzy: (there are no compass points in space! XD)
Aki: (I'm aware >:D )
Izzy: (XDD)
Riku: What?
Sora: ....head left.
Riku: ...right.
Sora: left.
Riku: No, I meant, right, go left....never mind. Left. Yeah
Riku: *goes left*
Sora: :3
Sora: Third world on your right~
Sora: You'll see the paopu tree growing out of it..
Riku: How could I miss it?
Sora: You'd be completely stupid if you DID manage to miss it.
Sora: Anyone could find it X3
Sora: GREEEEEEEN~ *pressed green button*
*Gummi Ship speeds up*
Riku: .....
Riku: We're almost there, you don't need to go faster
Sora: *sharply jerks the wheel to the right and presses Red*
Riku: *almost falls out of his seat*
Sora: Donna toki datte, Zutto futari de, Donna toki datte, soba ni iru kara~
Izzy: (haha <3)
Sora: *puts it on lock*
Aki: (XD)
Sora: I see Paopu treesssss
Izzy: (I guess "sannin de" doesn't have the same poetic quality, oh well)
Aki: (hmm?)
Izzy: ("three people", as opposed to two, "futari")
Aki: (haha)
Aki: (Riku will only have to guess who Sora's referring to, then XD)
Izzy: (awww XD)
Sora: Shizuka ni, deguchi ni tatte~
Sora: *grins, as he opens the door*
Riku: *gets up and automatically checks himself for something broken*
Riku: ...ow, my neck...
Izzy: (whiner XD)
Sora: Curaga...
Riku: It's not that bad, but thanks
Sora: Mm..
Riku: *walks up to him* What're you waiting for?
Sora: I was just thinking. *grins and hops off the ship*
Riku: *follows*
Riku: Where do you think Kairi will be?
Sora: I've got no idea. We can ask the Mayor.
Sora: Or mum.
Riku: Yeah...
Izzy: (oh right, their parents. XD)
