Who: Riku and Sora
Where: Celadon
When: January 17th
Summary: It's Riku's birthday, and Sora, being the sap that he is, has opted to celebrate in the most bombastic way.
Rating: G

[Riku had been so busy working out PGC logistics that he'd lost track of the time. Flying and teleporting across Johto squeezed the energy right out of him, so by the time they made it back into town, he'd collapsed like a rock, unaware of what tomorrow would bring.

When he first wakes up, he doesn't even notice that there's something new on his head. Instead, he marches right up to the door of his room, gasping when confetti sprinkles down over his head. Then and only then does he notice the party hat strapped to his head.

Realizing just what's going on, he storms into the hall shouting--]

Hey, Sora!

It's true. I'm a leech.

Now c'mon. There's more stuff to open, lover boy.

Lover boy... hah.

[SIGH. Okay, fine, he'll start moving again towards... the next door! Because it's close.]

[ feathers! Altaria feathers! falling from the skyyyyyyyy ]

[Ack! What the heck? Riku shields his head with his hands, swatting the feathers away...]

Sheesh. How many prank rooms are there?

Trade secret.

Ugh... This is gonna be a long day.

[Shaking off the last of his feathers, he stomps over to the next door and nudges it open. Please have something a little less embarrassing this time...]

[ very much so! it's a bucket of water. 8V ]

[SPLASH! The water reduces Riku to a human mop, his hair clinging to his face. Growling, he wipes his bangs out of his eyes and tosses the bucket back at Sora.

Think fast!]

[ ducks!

and then he starts laughing. oh Riku... you look like a wet dog! ]

[So... what if he shakes himself off? What then?

It's kinda silly of him, but darn it, he'd rather not be drenched, thank you very much.]

What next? A room rigged with tar?

[ he'll wipe his face and deeeeal. ]

Nah. Tar's too hot. I don't want you to get burned or something.

Oh, so you do have a heart.

[Pffft. Well, time for yet another door. What horrors await?]

More than one - if you count Roxas and Ven.

[ do you really want to open that door, Riku? because it's more glitter. all pinks and reds. have fun getting it out of wet hair. ]

...Wait, what?

[It's all he manages to get out before the glitter showers over him, transforming him into a pretty princess...

He's kinda lost in Sora's response, though, so he doesn't even put up a fight.]

We... Forgot to tell you that, huh?

[ ah ha ha, oops. ]

I'm pretty sure you did.

[At least, Sora sure didn't. If Ven ever brought it up, it's slipped his mind at the moment.

Sigh. This is getting weirder by the second.]

How's that even work, Sora?

[ he shrugs! Sora doesn't quite know how it works. 8T ]

Ven needed a place to sleep so I guess at some point I offered my heart as a place for his to rest. Don't really know much beyond that.

[ which is true. 8V ]

And Roxas? Roxas is - or was - my Nobody. For some reason he had to come back to me. Again, I don't know why or how.

He's gonna wake up, right? He has to.

[Yeah, he might've picked up that stuff about Roxas, but that's not important. Ven is and, darn it, hearing this is distressing. So distressing that Riku's grabbing one of Sora's shoulders and staring him straight in the eyes.]

Ven, when he was here, didn't seem worried. So, I'm not worried. Of course he'll wake up again...

I just don't know when. Soon, though. It has to be.

Right... But that's Ven for you. It takes a lot to bring him down.

[And at that, Riku slumps, gazing off at the nearest wall. Funny how just a year ago, Ven was still hanging around, and now it's just them. What a drag...]
