Fast Food Madness: The Epic Return V2

Sora felt his head lowering, his chin almost touching his chest as he felt himself getting drowsier. He almost murmured an apology to Kairi, since he felt bad for leaving her alone. However, he couldn't find the strength to speak, so he slipped out of consciousness without saying what was on his mind.

 

A few minutes passed, and all Kairi heard was the TV. But when she turned her head to look at the boy sitting beside her, she saw his chest rising and falling, his eyes closed. She knew instantly that Sora had fallen asleep, and she smiled a little at the realization. Even if he didn't want to, he would be better once he woke up. At least, she hoped so.

 

Sora slept without realizing that Kairi was looking at him, or hearing the television on in the background. The medicine had him completely knocked out, the drugs so powerful that it felt like he would be asleep for a long time.

 

A few days later...

Kairi sat on the couch in Namine's living room, a content smile on her face from the converstation she was having with her blonde friend and Riku. Her older best friend came over to spend some time with her at her house, but she instisted later that they go to Namine's since she was alone for the day. As for Sora and Roxas, Riku hadn't said anything more than that Sora was hanging out with him today. Kairi was glad for that, since things had been different the last couple days; ever since the night Sora left her house, she had been worried about him. She hoped he was okay.

 

Namine sat on the couch with her friends, her eyes wandering to the three glasses of water she had gotten for all of them. "It's a shame I don't have any snacks on hand," Namine told Riku and Kairi, a weak smile appearing on her lips as she looked to them. "I would have made brownies if I knew you guys were coming over." Brownies...that reminded her of the day almost two weeks ago, when Sora and Roxas had stolen her brownies and she had forced them to make dinner for her and Kairi.

 

Kairi's smile grew. "Brownies? Good thing Sora and Roxas aren't here," she said, giggling once the words left her lips. She remembered instantly the things they did when they were in search of the treat not too long ago.

Riku arched an eyebrow at Kairi. "Do I even have to guess?" he asked her, having a hunch that he already knew what Kairi meant by what she said. He always knew Sora loved dessert, so he was sure Roxas was the same.

Kairi laughed softly again, shaking her head. "Probably not," she admitted with a smile. Riku knew how Sora was just as well as she did; it was probably a no-brainer.

 

"Everyone came over here, and as soon as Roxas and Sora heard I had brownies, they tore apart my kitchen looking for them," Namine told Riku, a laugh leaving her lips at the memory of it. It had been very entertaining to watch, especially since she knew they didn't have a chance on finding them when they were in a completely separate room.

 

Riku rolled his eyes, knowing that it had to be something goofy like that. He pushed his hair out of his eyes as he looked to Namine and Kairi. "I'm guessing they did, right?" he said. Those two were persistent; it was easy to see that. They had to have found the treats eventually.

Kairi nodded, her smile growing a little. "We didn't tell them outright, but Namine had to deal with a little torture from Roxas in order to find out," she told Riku, glancing at Namine halfway through the sentence. Her friend had to deal with "tickle-torture" for a few minutes before the boys discovered where the brownies were.

 

"Ugh, that was definitely torture," Namine said, recalling the tickle-torture that she had gone through. "I don't see why Roxas had to interrogate me; Sora could have gotten it out of you, since you knew where they were." Actually, by that point, Kairi had put them in a new hiding place: the fridge. But no, Roxas had tickled Namine and forced her to tell him the location of them.

 

Kairi shrugged, her smile still on her face. Sora had been as equally as persistent as Roxas, but the blond was the one who took the initiative to get it out of Namine first. "All that mattered to them was that they got a hold of them, and they did," Kairi said, looking away from Namine and to Riku. "Of course, that was after I hid them in the refridgerator, where Roxas already looked."

Riku smirked. So Kairi and Namine tricked them? Clever. He was sure the scene must have been amusing.

 

"That wasn't the best part of the day, though," Namine said with a smile, remembering the other trickery they had done to Sora and Roxas. She looked to Kairi, encouraging her friend to explain how they recorded Sora and Roxas in the kitchen and then sneaked away with the footage.

 

Kairi met Namine's gaze and she nodded, understanding where Namine was going with this. She looked back to Riku as she started to speak. "You remember how I made Sora and Roxas clean my basement when they stole my brownies?" she asked, remembering briefly that it was mentioned before. She saw Riku nod and continued. "Well, this time, we made the boys cook dinner, and just happened to film it."

Riku's eyes widened, his smirk turning into an amused smile. "You're kidding," he said. Sora? Cooking? Was that even possible? They actually had footage of that?

 

Namine smiled at that, nodding her head. "The boys tried stealing the camera so they could delete it, but they couldn't do it," she said, remembering how Roxas had fallen under her "spell" to the point where he didn't care about the video at all. It was strange that the boys hadn't tried getting the recording back, though; it had been almost two weeks since they captured it, after all. "I have it in the closet." The memory card was in the camera, a place where it wouldn't be lost.

 

Riku shook his head, a chuckle leaving his lips. "You have to show me this," he stated. He was very interested in that footage, and since Sora and Roxas weren't here, what better time to watch it than now?

Kairi smiled at Riku, looking at Namine and shrugging. They might as well. After all, Riku seemed awfully amused. Wait until he sees the video, she thought silently, glancing back at her older friend.

 

Namine nodded once, rising up off her seat on the couch. "I'll get it," she said, starting towards the closet on the other side of the living room. She was excited to see it again herself; she hadn't watched it on tape yet.

 

Riku watched Namine approach the closet, his eyes finding Kairi. He gave her a look of disbelief, shaking his head. He never knew she and Namine could be so sneaky. Perhaps things had changed while he was gone.

Kairi only chuckled at Riku's expression, the girl shrugging again. What could she do? It was a one-time opportunity and she and Namine just couldn't refuse.

 

In a few minutes, Namine had the camera hooked up to the television so that they could all watch it without crowding around her video camera. She pressed a button on the device and the video started to play immediately, the girl glancing at it before she returned to her seat to watch the rest of it.

 

Riku leaned forward in eagerness, immediately seeing Sora and Roxas in the kitchen with aprons. He chuckled instantly at the sight, also noticing that Roxas was chopping vegetables while Sora stood by the oven. Oh, this was going to be great.

 

"Alright, Roxas, you know the drill," Sora said to his best friend as they walked towards Namine's street. "You distract her, and I'll search for the video camera." That morning, the two of them had gotten together and planned to steal the embarrassing footage that the girls had stored at Namine's house. Today, they were finally taking action and destroying that video clip.

 

Roxas nodded once. "Got it," he said in acknowledgement. He would find a way to distract Namine somehow. He was pretty good at thinking on the spot. After all, he didn't have much time to think about it anyway, considering they weren't too far from Namine's house.
