Sora swallowed a little as Kairi seemed to be completely aware of what he was talking about. Way to go, he thought to himself. Now you’ve done it. He was waiting for things to go awkwardly silent again, and he was racking his mind to find a subject that didn’t seem lame. However, before he could do so, Kairi hung her head and tears fell from her eyes. This shocked the brunette completely and he stared at her for a moment, unsure of what to make of this. Then he just acted without thinking. He took her hand in his and used his other hand to lift her head and make her look at him.
”Why are you crying?” he asked. ”It’s not your fault. I mean, I’m not uncomfortable. At all. I wasn’t before… Just… I was… I dunno…” His voice trailed off. Then his mind caught up with what his body was doing. He quickly released her chin, but kept her hand. ”Kairi… I have to ask. What were you going to say at the festival? Be honest. I really want to know.” He was desperately hoping that she’d tell him the truth and that it’d be what he wanted to hear. He wanted to tell her so badly that he felt… that they were more than friends. But he wanted to make sure he wouldn’t ruin their friendship first. He wanted Kairi by him always, whether she was a friend or something else. And he didn’t want to risk losing her by any means.

Meanwhile, Jack was over with the swamp monster when Blink came over. He looked at the mummy as he mentioned Sally and the doctor. Jack smacked his own forehead as he was surprised he’d forgotten. Between all the commotion of the Transpooker and such, they’d completely slipped his mind. Blink told him that he would go to the graveyard and look for them while he enjoyed the party. The boy started off, but Jack excused himself from the swamp monster and took off after him.
”Hold on there!” he called, catching up to him. ”I don’t want you to go alone. Here, take Zero with you. Zero!” The dog perked up at hearing his name, then barked and floated over to the two. ”You need to follow him and look for Sally and the doctor. If anything bad happens, you come straight to me, understand?” The ghost nodded happily, then flew a circle around Blink while yipping excitedly. Jack gave a nod to thank the boy, then had to return to his conversation with the swamp monster. He didn’t want to get on his bad side, or else he could find some nasty bit of pollution next to his bed the next day he woke up…

((Jack may not be in the next couple of posts. I think I'll have plenty to put as Sora alone...))

Sora
The Keyblade Master

Sora’s brows automatically raised as Kairi started to speak, saying exactly what he wanted her to say. Still, it came as a shock. He stumbled around for words and couldn’t find them. Kairi loved him. Kairi loved him! His face grew bright red as this realization ran through his mind, repeating in rapid succession. The crimsonette squeezed her eyes shut, obviously afraid.
”Kairi…” he started, still struggling to find the right words. He just gave up and said what he felt was almost obvious. ”I love you too.” The words almost felt foreign to him. Was he really saying this? Yes, yes he was. And he was happy that he was. So she felt that way about him, and he felt that way about her. At least that was out in the open now. But what did that mean for them? He didn’t care at the moment, as Kairi was still crying. He pulled her into an embrace and held her tightly.

”Honestly, you’ve got to stop crying…!” Sora told her softly, chuckling lightly at the end. He let her go and put his hands on her shoulders at an arm’s length away. He looked right at her, his eyes not wavering from hers. ”I don’t know why you’re so upset. It’s okay. I’m just… surprised, really. I mean, I never thought…” His voice trailed off. How surreal this was began to come across in his mind. After all, Kairi was so… perfect. Why would she ever like him? He was dorky and not too smart. But Kairi was the prettiest girl in school and got great grades… He didn’t deserve her. She deserved to be with someone else that was better than him. So why had she picked him?
”I just never thought you’d like me… I never thought I was good enough for you.” he admitted finally. His eyes dropped to the ground, thinking still. Should he had said that? Yes. He wanted her to be happy, and if she was just saying this to make him feel better or something, then he didn’t want this to become a relationship. He wanted her to be with whoever made her happy, which he really couldn’t believe was himself.

blink nodded and smiled.
"Thanks Jack" he said walking off with Zero by his side.
As he came closer to the graveyard gate he sent some vines to pull it open.
When he and zero passed through he clicked his finger and the gates closed behind him.
He walked around for a bit looking for them.
He turned around to notice someone behind him.
"Who are you?!" he said.


((Okay so who's sally?))

((Can i bring mildred into it now?))

Blink and Mildred

The blond girl looked back at blink and smiled.
"Dont you remember me?" she said looking into his eyes.
She walked up to him and held his hand.
"Its me Mildred, i was your childhood friend when we were four" she said smiling.
her smile turned into a frown "Then that one time i came to see you, your parents had sent you away, i was confused at the time," he took him over to a tree and sat him down befor carrying on "And i always though your parents were nice people, why did they send you away i wondered, it bothered me for years, i never forgot, and recently i managed to persuade my parents to move to destiny island." Mildred hugged blink.

Blink watched as she explained everything.
"But.... i.... dont remember" he said frowning.
"I think Namine can look at peoples memories, even lakayna can, lets go ask them, but first i have to find Sally and Doctor finkelstein" blink said standing up and carrying on his search.

Sora
The Keyblade Master

Sora felt surprisingly good now that he and Kairi were together, an item. He thought it would be awkward for a long time, but it wasn’t. They still acted the same around each other. He was very thankful for that. Then Kairi admitted she didn’t know what to do and that she’d been waiting so long for this that she didn’t know what to do now that it’d happened. He kind of felt the same way. He smiled down at her, then his brow furrowed in thought.
”Well… let’s go have some fun!” he decided brightly. ”I mean, it’s still Halloween, and we need to spook some more people! Come on!” He kept a hold of her hand and pulled her along through the crowd, looking for someone to scare. That would probably prove to be difficult, since the denizens of Halloween Town were generally scarier than any of the outsiders. Still, it was Halloween, and he was in the Halloween spirit, if there was such a thing.

The couple made their way to the center of the square and to the fountain, where finally Sora stopped. He looked around at everyone, trying to find someone. Everyone was having such a great time, and it relieved him to see that. His mind wandered to Naminé and Marluxia briefly, but he figured they were fine. Kairi was calm, so that had to mean Naminé was too. Finally, Sora spotted two small children exchanging eyeball lollipops, completely unaware of their surroundings. A mischievous smirk appeared on Sora’s lips and he turned to Kairi quietly.
”Found some targets to scare,” he whispered. ”Come on, let’s see what you’ve got!” He let go of her hand and beckoned her to go first to scare the young children, if you could call them that. Kairi was easily scared, or at least in an environment where she was expecting to be frightened. He wanted her to overcome that and show that here, when scared, no one got angry or meant any harm. That would relax her further and they’d have an even better time. And what easier targets were there then two little kids? Plus, he was there to back her up if she needed it.

Meanwhile, Zero had followed Blink into the graveyard. He kept quiet and floated several feet above the boy to look around for any signs of Sally or Doctor Finkelstein. The ghost dog was caught completely by surprise when Blink spun around and demanded to know who was there. He flipped around as well and growled at the newcomer, but then stopped when he saw that it was a girl about Blink’s age. The dog whimpered in slight confusion. She seemed to know him, but he didn’t know her. Zero didn’t recognize her either, and he would know everyone in Halloween Town since he was always around the Mayor and Jack. So the dog floated there listening to the two as they exchanged words. Then Blink stated that he needed to find Sally and Doctor Finkelstein before he could find out who this girl was, so Zero nodded and floated down to the girl’s side. He decided that he would stay by her and monitor her actions, so if she did anything out of line, he could alert Blink or Jack.

Thinking of you, wherever you are.

Kairi

Princess of Heart

After a moment of thinking Sora decided that they should go have some fun. He said it was Halloween after all and they needed to spook some more people. Kairi laughed and nodded, "Okay, let's go have some fun!"

Sora kept a hold of Kairi's hand and pulled her along. The couple then began making their way through the crowd. The Princess felt the happiest she had in a long time. She was still worried about Naminé, but she didn't sense any danger so she remained relaxed. After a bit the Keybearer stopped and the crimsonette looked around, spotting two small children exchanging eyeball lollipops. The brunette turned to her with a mischievous smirk and whispered that he had found some scare targets, and for her to show him what she got. "O-Okay," the red head said with a nervous laugh, "I'll do my best." In a place like this, where she knew frightening things lurked around waiting to pop out at any second, Kairi could get easily scared. So because of that, she wasn't so sure she'd be so good at scaring others. But she and the rest of her friends had managed to scare the towns people, and the two children did seem unaware of their surroundings, so that gave her some confidence. She gave Sora a quick smile, then left his side and began quietly sneaking up on the kids. Slowly and silently she came up behind them and when she decided she was close enough, Kairi leaned forward and shouted, "TRICK OR TREAT!!"

We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.

Thinking of you, wherever you are.

Kairi

Princess of Heart

Kairi watched as the children in front of her jumped and shrieked in fright. That grabbed the attention of some of the citizens, and to the crimsonette's surprise they stared laughing, clapping, and cheering. The Princess blushed a little, smiled, and gave a bow. She grinned when she saw Sora applauding as well. The brunette went to her side and told her she had done great. The red head smiled at his praise, "Thanks Sora!" He then told her that there was nothing to be scared of, that it was all for fun and laughs. Kairi giggled and said, "Yeah, I see that now."

The Princess smiled as Sora handed his pack of candy to the kids for being good sports. Kairi laughed when she heard one of them complain that it was "boring candy". She thanked them for the fun and they ran off. After that Sora turned back to Kairi and said it was her turn to find someone for him to scare. "All right!" the crimsonette laughed. She locked hands with Sora and began to lead him through town. A little near Jack's house the Princess saw a girl, that looked to be around their age, with her younger brother. The girl was standing there tapping her foot, waiting for her brother to finish adjusting his costume. Kairi turned to Sora with a smile and whispered, "How about them?"

We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
