Fyrie Mystic's Note: Hey it's me again

Fyrie Mystic's Note: Hey it's me again. The story that I am posting is going to be a couple chapters long. I hope that it isn't too long without enough action. It is a song fic to Skin by Rascal Flatts. I love this song and decided to write a story to it… (I did however change a couple words in the song to make it fit the stroy right.) It might seem to some of you that I have a thing against Kairi, but I just want to say that I love Kairi. She is one of my favorite characters, but most of my stories seem to fit her and that is why I seem to abuse her… It really isn't planned.

Anyway, on with the story. Oh one more thing… I am going to be putting in time markers that I hope will help clear up any confusion that might arise with the spacing of time. Also, to my knowledge, most proms occur at the end of May so is about the time the one in the story is going to take place. I really hope that the time markers help clear up the time issues that might happen.

Disclaimer: I own neither the characters nor the song that I used for my story.

Skin

2nd week of April

Kairi eagerly walked down the steps of Destiny Heights High School. She couldn't wait to get home and get changed for her date that cool April night. She was opening the door to her house when she tripped over the doorstop.

"Hi Mom. I'm hom-ahh!" She yelled as she fell. Her mom came running when she heard the crash.

"Kairi, are you ok?" Her mom asked upon seeing her daughter sprawled on the floor.

"Yea, I think so." Kairi muttered while trying to free herself from her bag, which was trying to choke her.

She managed to get untangled from her bag and ran to her room to get ready. "Hmm, what do I want to wear tonight?" She muttered to herself as she turned on some music. The song that came on was 'What Do Ya Think About That' by Mongomery Gentry.

"Oh I love this song!" She screamed as she started dancing around her room. She stopped suddenly when she saw her brother standing in her doorway.

"Kairi, what are you doing?" Riku, her brother, asked, staring at his younger sister. She flashed him a bright smile. "What does it look like, Riku? I'm rockin' out!"

"I can see that, but why?" Riku laughed, his silver bangs sliding into over his eyes.

"Cause I can and its fun. You should learn to have more fun." Kairi joked while pulling her brother into a hug before spinning him around in a couple of circles with her, as she continued to "rock out".

"I do have fun." Riku tried to counter

"Reading and constantly studying does not count as fun, Riku." Kairi threw back.

Riku suddenly stopped dancing, "Kairi, you know that I love reading and one when I am smart and rich I will have fun and you will be begging to hang out with me." Riku joked.

"Ha Ha, very funny Riku. Now get out of my room so that I can get ready for my date." Kairi laughed, while pushing her brother towards the door.

"Ok. Ok. No need to be pushy. I'm going. Just remember to be careful and take your pepper spray." Riku laughed before dodging a shoe thrown in his direction.

"Now, back to what I was originally doing." Kairi sighed while rummaging through her closet.

She finally decided on a sea green faux wrap shirt, denim pencil skirt, that landed a couple of inches above her knees, and black boots that went to her knees. She had finished getting dressed and putting on her makeup when she heard her mother calling her.

"Kairi, dear, your date is here."

'I better hurry before she decides that she is going to embarrass me again,' she thought to herself while taking one last look in the mirror and grabbing her purse.

"Kairi, you better hurry up before Mom breaks out the naked baby pictures that you know she has stashed somewhere." Riku called with a joking but serious tone to his voice.

"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" Kairi yelled while rushing down the stairs, hoping that her mother wouldn't have time to get to the pictures.

"Hey," She greeted her date. "We better get going before she gets the camera, again. You remember what happened last time; we almost never got to leave.

"Yea we better go." Her date laughed.

"Bye Mom. I'll try to be home by 1." She yelled as her and her date ran out the door.

Kairi and her date made it out of the house before her mom got a hold of a camera. She looked over at the blond haired boy as her was driving to the carnival.

"Sorry bout that Roxas." She laughed, while sitting in the passenger seat of his 1957 Ford Thunderbird.

"What is there to be sorry for?" He responded, while sneaking glances at the red-head beside him.

"For the way my family was acting. That was just so embarrassing." Kairi stated, feeling a blush creep onto her cheeks.

"Don't worry about it. My family would have acted the same if not worse. They would have been fawning all over you." Roxas said while grabbing her hand to comfort her. "You do remember that I have three sisters, right?"

Kairi laughed. "Yeah, I remember. They were really nice the last time I was over. I don't know how you survived. What are their names again?"

About this time, their car pulled into the parking lot at the carnival. They parked and Roxas helped Kairi out of the car. He gentle grabbed her hand and led her towards the entrance gate.

"Well, my oldest sister is named Tifa. She is off at training, but comes home on some weekends. She is going to make a great cop someday. Then there is Yuffie. She is basically as crazy as someone can get, but she is a blast to hang out with when she comes home from college. And then there is Namine. She is my twin, but never fails to remind me that she is exactly 2 minutes older then me. But, man can that girl draw. You should ask to see her drawings some time." Roxas boosted.

"Aww, so that makes you the baby of your family?" Kairi broke in with a giggle.

They had just finished getting their unlimited passes for all the rides at the carnival.

Roxas thought about her question for a moment, before joining her in laughing. "Yea, I guess it does, but so are you."

"Yep, it is just me and my older brother. He is also in college and plans on being an engineer. But I guess being the babies of our families just makes us perfect for each other." Kairi smiled, before playfully smacking Roxas in the arm and running off towards the bumper cars, with him close on her tail.

A couple of hours and a bunch of dizzying fun rides later, found Kairi and Roxas in the short line for the Ferris wheel. Kairi looked up at the massive metal wheel that loomed above her.

"Are you sure that thing is safe?" She asked with a death grip on Roxas' arm. He noticed a tinge of fear in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Besides if it wasn't, they wouldn't have it here to ride on," Roxas stated confidently, pulling Kairi to him to comfort her.

Roxas looked at Kairi with a smirk in his bright blue eyes. "Don't tell me, you're afraid of heights?"

"Yeah, a little," was the answer he got back.

"Well, we don't have to ride it if you don't want to."

"No, its ok. People always say that the best way to conquer your fear is to face it head on. So that is what I am going to do," Kairi gulped. "I'm going to face my fear head on."

At this point, they were next in line for the ride. They crawled into the carriage and sat down next of each other. Roxas reached over and grabbed Kairi's hand as the ride slowly began to move, stopping ever so often to let people on and off. Once all of the baskets were full, the Ferris wheel kicked into its normal speed.

"Are you doing ok, Kairi?" Roxas asked the girl next to him.

"Yeah, actually I am. This is really not that bad. It's kinda fun." She replied as a smile slowly grew on her face.

"Good. I am glad that you're having fun."

"I really am," Kairi smiled as they moved closer to each other. Kairi gently leaned into Roxas and laid her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her petite frame.

All too soon the Ferris wheel started to slow down and started stopping to let people get off. But when it was their turn to get off, the Ferris wheel kept going.

"It skipped us!" Kairi stated, shocked.

"Yeah… I guess it did," Roxas laughed. "That might have something to do with the 20 dollars I slipped the operator to let us ride longer and all by ourselves."

"You did what? That is so devious, but so sweet at the same time." Kairi giggled.

They rode the Ferris wheel for at least 10 minutes in the comfortable silence that had grown between them. Finally Roxas spoke, "Hey Kairi?"

"Hmm," Kairi responded with her eyes closed.

"You know that the prom is coming up and I was wondering if you would accompany me to it."

At this, Kairi opened her indigo eyes. "Of course I will." She responded before pulling Roxas into a sweet kiss.

Getting off the Ferris wheel, Kairi grabbed Roxas' hand and pulled him close to her as they walked to his car. They didn't let go of each other's hands the entire car ride back to Kairi's house.

"This was such a fun night. I had such a great time." She smiled before giving him a quick kiss and getting out of the car and headed into her house.

Kairi changed into her pajamas and crawled into her bed and quickly fell asleep.

Roxas drove home with a wide smile on his face; he couldn't wait for the month of May to come. When he got home, he changed and got into bed, and also quickly fell asleep.
