Well, here's the last chapter(which is the longest one). Hope you enjoy it and it succeeds to make you laugh. :)


The plates which had been used to contain the teenagers' servings were stacked in the kitchen sink. Having just placed them in there, Sora decided he would clean them when he felt bothered, though he still had the courtesy to clear the table for his guests. They had all now finished their meals, but were still very happy from the romance which was remained in the atmosphere. Kairi, Naminé and Roxas remained in their seats while Sora stood in front of the sink. His friends were gazing at him in the thankfulness they felt towards him for inviting them over to have such a brilliant night.

Kairi got up from her seat, treading over to her boyfriend who had his back to her, standing beside him with a grin to wrap her arms around his neck. "You're so amazing, Sora," she told him earnestly. "Thank you so much for arranging this fantastic night, and for buying that food between us."

Sora smiled widely as he turned to gaze down at his girlfriend. The hug he was receiving from her was increasing his happiness by heaps. Using one arm to return the embrace, he stretched his other one out to dive his hand into the nearby carrier bag, which was still where he had left it on the kitchen worktop. "That's not all I bought for you, Kairi."

"You got me something else?" Kairi's expression filled quickly with surprise, the smile vanishing from her face whilst her eyes widened. Her ears hadn't been prepared to hear that Sora had spent more of his Munny on her than she expected him to. "You didn't have to get me anything else, Sora. You've spent enough on me with all this food-"

"Then I hope you can still enjoy this!" Sora cut her off suddenly, taking the wrapped-up sea salt ice cream he had purchased for her from the bag to hold it out proudly in front of her amazed face. "Here you go!"

How bright Kairi's expression had become was lit up even further by the sight of the treat he had revealed to her. A sea salt ice cream was indeed a cool, refreshing dessert she really enjoyed, but after all he had spent on her so she could have a lovely Chinese meal, she couldn't believe that Sora had willingly given away even more of his Munny, just to bring her something else to eat after their meal. It was another one of his countless ways to show how much he loved and treasured her, leading her to feel how all the love she for him inside her heart was endlessly growing larger by each second.

"Sora..." she exclaimed softly, removing her arms from Sora for a moment to take the ice cream from him - before joyfully throwing them around him even tighter than before. "Thank you for getting me this! You really didn't have to do that!"

"Of course I did, Kairi. You're my girlfriend and I love buying you things. I know how much you love sea salt ice cream." Sora was now holding Kairi with both his arms, lifting her up from the kitchen floor and gazing into her beautiful, blue eyes. "I just hope you love me more."

"Why would I love anything more than you, silly Sora?" Kairi shook her head in disbelief. She was humoured by what the boy had just teasingly wanted her to confirm, even though he already knew it himself. A few giggles escaped from her lips - which soon joined up with Sora's for the young couple to share a kiss of true love.

From the table, Naminé was admiringly watching her friends make clear how they felt for each other. It was in the way every other loving couple did together, and she and Roxas were no different. Learning that Sora had bought Kairi a sea salt ice cream had brought a new level of excitement for Naminé, beliefs in her head that Roxas had done the same. She couldn't see any reason why her loving boyfriend who had spent a good amount of his Munny on her tonight would pass on buying her a treat she really loved.

"Did you get me a sea salt ice cream as well, Roxas?" she asked hopefully. She directed her ecstatic expression towards her hero, who was still sitting with her at the table. She was expecting him to place in front of her the signature wrapping paper that held the refreshing treat she truly believed he had purchased for her.

Deep alarm begun instantly to fill Roxas' expression from what Naminé had just innocently asked him. Quickly turning his head away from Sora and Kairi, he faced his girlfriend with wide eyes, panicking a little over the fact she was waiting for him to hand over something he hadn't bothered to buy. He knew it was a question he should have been expecting, especially since Naminé had seen Sora give to his own girlfriend something he had purchased for her which the blonde really liked herself. Roxas was only now realizing there was a chance he was going to disappoint her. He had managed to make her so happy with the free meal she had dined on, and now he was going to let her down-

Wait! Roxas thought in realization. The whole reason I didn't get her a sea salt ice cream was because everything she would enjoy tonight would be free. She'll be so amazed to know that the food she's just eaten didn't cost a penny! That'll be a better surprise than one scrawny ice cream!

"Roxas?"

With a smile of new confidence spreading slowly across his face, Roxas shook his head at his girlfriend, who was now confused as to why he was silently changing moods on the spot. "I'm sorry, Naminé. I didn't get you an ice cream."

The blonde girl's puzzlement ceased as she was taken over by surprise, her eyes not only widening, but filling with disappointment. She was unable to believe what Roxas had just calmly told her. Sea salt ice cream was a wonderful dessert which she really loved. He had obviously seen Sora purchase Kairi's while they had been at the takeout, and yet hadn't gotten one for her, telling her this instead without even sounding apologetic. She was beginning to feel down over how her boyfriend had chosen not to buy her such a treat - until she reminded herself in her head that he had bought her a fantastic Chinese meal. That was something he had used his Munny on so that the two of them could have a romantic dinner together - as far as she knew. How could she be angry with him so being so kind and selfless, just because he hadn't bought her one ice cream? Even if it was something she loved, she didn't love it nearly as much as him.

Getting up from her chair with a smile to stand behind her where her boyfriend sat, Naminé lowered her head to be next to his, wrapping her arms around his neck. "It's alright, Roxas," she said. "It doesn't matter, because you got us a lovely meal, and I loved every scrap of it. Thanks for buying it for us. I really appreciate you spending your Munny on me, just so we could share a lovely meal together. It was so romantic."

Roxas' cheeks were deep red from the affection he was receiving from Naminé. He glanced up at her in delight from how she was not upset with him, the grin on his face softening. He managed to turn his head away from her to gaze at the other couple in the room. He could see that Kairi was more interested in the ice cream she was eating than in them. But what caused his grin shrink a little was that Sora was giving him the same frown which he had been giving him since he had told the brunette at the takeout that he wasn't going to spend any munny on Naminé. He was obviously still annoyed with him, especially since Naminé still believed that he had actually purchased the meal for her. Roxas was continuing to struggle to see why Sora was being all huffy with him for bringing himself and his girlfriend a meal which didn't need to be paid for. He managed to hold his grin on his face, however, deciding now was the time to show the other boy how much Naminé would appreciate what he hadn't done for her.

As he stood up from the chair, Roxas felt Naminé's arms sliding away from his neck. He turned around to send his grin directly down at her, now able to embrace her warmly. First, he was going to tell her the 'good' news of how their meal hadn't cost anything, then move in to plant a deep kiss onto her lips.

"And you know what was really awesome about our meal, Naminé?" he asked excitedly.

"What?" Naminé's blue eyes were lightening up even further. What she was about to be told was sure to be something she would be very happy to hear. She didn't realize that Sora was sending a horrified and panicked look towards them. She just simply hugged Roxas back tightly, gazing up at him lovingly.

"I didn't spend a single penny on our food, this evening!"

Naminé froze from the words which Roxas had proudly cried out to her, every one of them taking an instant effect on her. Her smile was wiped from her face, driven away that the amount of shock that was becoming visible in her expression. What her boyfriend had just revealed to her was something she had not been expecting, having believed all evening that he had spent an amount of his cash to make her happy. Her eyes were still locked onto him, but they were widening in the new emotion Roxas' revelation was putting her through. She removed her arms from the boy and took a few steps away from him, too taken aback to notice Sora and Kairi were gaping towards them. They were just as stunned by what Roxas had blurted out (despite Kairi being the only one of them to learn about it now).

"What?!" Naminé exclaimed loudly, breaking the silence. "What d'you mean, Roxas? I don't understand when you say you didn't pay a penny on our food! I thought you bought-"

"That's just it; I didn't!" The grin on Roxas' face widened with even more pride. He didn't realize the way Naminé was reacting was a reason for him to panic. "The takeout was doing two-for-one deals on sweet and sour chicken with chips! And since we were sharing ours together, I decided to let Sora pay for his and Kairi's so that we could have ours for free!"

"I did tell you to pay half for the one meal while I paid for the other half!"

Everybody turrned to Sora, for what he had crisply reminded Roxas had attracted their attention. He could tell by how Naminé's emotion had changed that she wasn't taking Roxas' piece of news for her the way he had been certain she would. He wanted the shocked girl to be aware that he had been completely against her boyfriend's unfair decision.

His frown deepened as it remained locked on Roxas, who was looking at him calmly with that same stupid grin. "I told you that we should spend a bit of Munny between us! But you were so desperate to keep yours and let me spend mine!"

"Yeah, so you could buy your girlfriend a meal." Roxas gestured his arm towards Kairi, who was in shock from learning how selfish he had been that evening. Turning away from the stunned couple, he gazed again back at the person who he felt he had done a generous thing towards. "And so that I could get one for my girlfriend, who I didn't even have to pay for. Ain't that amazing?"

Everything Naminé was only now hearing was becoming worse and worse. It was driving her emotions to change even further. Feeling the need to put it into words, she gave Roxas a frown even deeper than Sora's. "So you're saying ... that you just let Sora spend his Munny on the food ... and you were quite happy to keep yours instead of spending it on me?"

"Well, I didn't have to," Roxas answered joyfully, stepping forward to be standing right in front of Naminé. "Because as I said, they were doing two-for-one deals on the food we liked. And since we would be sharing one portion while Sora and Kairi would be sharing another, I realized that meant I could get us one for free-"

"Oh, Roxas, you cheapskate!"

Naminé angrily pushed the boy away from her, the strength in arms built from her fury. He stumbled backwards in surprise, sending her a startled expression as he kept himself from falling. She glared hard at him, seething and upset with him over how unfair she now knew he had been. Not only to her, but to Sora as well. All the happiness she had felt for the majority of the day had escaped from her completely. No wonder he had not brought a sea salt ice cream back for her.

"Naminé!" Roxas cried, taking his own turned to be shocked now from the unexpected attitude of the blonde. "What was that for?"

"For you thinking of yourself and your stupid Munny!" The anger in Naminé's bitter tone filled the kitchen. She was determined to let out all the hurt she was feeling at the boy who had brought it to her. Can't bring yourself to spend a couple of it on your supposed girlfriend, can you?"

"You are my girlfriend, Naminé! I've bought you tones of things in your life! I just thought you would like a free meal-"

"No! All you were thinking of was how you could keep your Munny! Well I hope you're happy, 'cause you've still got it, haven't you? Well done, Roxas!"

Fuming, distraught and feeling unvalued, but deciding he wasn't worth crying over, Naminé spun fiercely away from him and marched out of the kitchen. She stomped through the lounge towards the front door, wanting to go home and be left alone in her feelings. She could not bare being in the same room as Roxas for any longer that night.

"Naminé!" Kairi cried urgently, racing with Sora over to the kitchen doorway to try desperately to usher her friend back. She gazed worriedly towards the blonde, not wanting her to go home in sadness "Don't go!"

"Don't leave, Naminé!" Sora added worriedly.

"I'm sorry, guys." Pulling the front door open, Naminé stepped out into the dark atmosphere of the icy cold night. She turned to look unhappily over her shoulder at the couple, her eyes burning when she saw Roxas. "Thanks for having me over, Sora. I appreciate you trying to make us have a nice night. You've been very kind tonight - unlike that cheapskate over there who ruined it for me."

She pulled the door shut behind her, not to be seen again by any of them for the rest of the night.

"Nice going, Roxas!" Sora said sarcastically, angrily facing the boy who had upset the blonde as he stepped into the lounge with shock. "Your plan really worked, didn't it? You made Naminé soooo happy by not spending a thing on her!"

"How could you do that, Roxas?" Kairi yelled. "That's your girlfriend there! And you wouldn't spend just a bit of Munny on her?"

"I-I thought it was a good idea." Roxas was struggling to find the words to defend himself. Everybody turning against him was not how he had expected the night to end. "I really thought she would really like be given a free Chinese meal-"

"You really think a girl would like it when her boyfriend thinks of how he can keep his Munny when he's supposed to be spending it on her?" Kairi shook her head in disgust. "I can't believe you, Roxas. It's not like you at all. Especially when you've bought so much for Naminé in your life."

"Yeah, I didn't have to this time!" Roxas argued. "As I keep saying, there were two-for-one deals on the Chinese food we like from the takeout! You know that, Sora!"

"Yeah, and you were so determined to keep your Munny and go with your stupid plan on how you could save it. You didn't even get her a sea salt ice cream when I told you to - and they only cost one orb!"

Roxas' shoulders sagged in misery. He knew Sora and Kairi were right about him. He had been unkind to Naminé and treated her very poorly that evening. Though he had truly been determined for her to have a wonderful night by having a romantic dinner with him, the deal he had seen advertised at the takeout had made him think of how he could keep his Munny whilst going ahead with their meal he was bringing for her. Now he felt ashamed of himself for thinking of his Munny over his girlfriend. How could he be so selfish, just to keep a couple of orbs in his pouch? Spending Munny on their girlfriends was what boyfriends were supposed to do. Roxas was now just as furious his himself as his friends were with him. He hated himself so much for upsetting the one he loved.

"You're right, guys," he sighed gloomily, lowering his head to look down at his feet in all the unhappiness he felt. "I should have put some Munny in with you, Sora, and I should have gotten Naminé a sea salt ice cream. I should have done that to show her how I love her so much. Now I expect she hates me." He closed his eyes. "I don't blame her though."

"Well hold on!" Using her free hand to reach into the pouch that was attached to her belt, Kairi pulled out a cell phone (still holding her sea salt ice cream in her other hand). She held it up in front of her, scrolling through the numbers saved into her contacts list. "I'm gonna sort this out now!"

Roxas quickly raised his head and opened his eyes at the sound of Kairi's announcement, confusion filling his gaze when he saw her using her cell phone. "What are you doing, Kairi?"

"I'm saving your relationship!"

Once she had found the saved number she was looking for, Kairi pressed the green button and held the phone to her ear. As she stood there, listening to the ringing at the other end, the boys watched her in silence and confusion. They had an idea who she was calling, but had no idea what she was going to say. The girl waited patiently for an answer from the caller, speaking again once she heard her voice.

"Hi, Naminé, it's me. Listen, are you alright?" She paused, listening to the reply. "Yeah, I know you are ... Yeah, I know that cheapskate ruined it for you."

How does Naminé even carry a cell phone? Sora wondered. She doesn't have any pockets in her dress.

"Well, that's why I'm calling you, Naminé. We said this was a real nice thing for us all to do together, and it would be a shame not to do it again. I'm thinking we should have another Chinese meal tomorrow at my house. Would you come along if Roxas was there? He's really sorry for not spending his Munny on you and he's worried about you."

The boys were taken by surprise upon learning that Kairi wanted them all to spend the following evening at her house, eating what they had that night. The girl held the phone away from her ear, turning the Roxas to deliver what Naminé had said in response to her invitation.

"She said she'll be fine with having another Chinese meal with you tomorrow - as long as you actually buy her this one and get her a sea salt ice cream, too."

Roxas smiled, perfectly willing now to spend his Munny on his girlfriend and determined to do so in order to receive her forgiveness. "I'll do that, Kairi. Can you please tell her that?"

Kairi held the phone to her ear again. "He said he'll do that, Naminé ... Yeah, I'm certain he means it ... Okay, I'll see you tomorrow evening then ... Alright! Bye!"

Ending the call and returning the phone to her pouch, Kairi grinned at Roxas. "Well, Roxas, looks like you gotta make another trip to the takeout tomorrow!"

"And make sure to bring your cash with you!" Sora warned teasingly with a chuckle.

"I will." Roxas nodded at them, hoping he was making clear how serious he was about being prepared to spending Munny for his girlfriend. He took his pouch from his pocket and held it out for Sora and Kairi to see. No longer did he care about giving away some of the contents inside. He was going to be glad to be rid of them, so as to get his girlfriend's happiness in return. "I'll buy mine and Naminé's, and you two can enjoy the free one this time."

The satisfied smiled which had just been on Sora's face slipped. Roxas was suggesting to him to do the same stunt he had pulled himself that evening. It had been exactly how he had upset Naminé, and yet here he was, implying that Sora should do the same thing. The brunette was certain Kairi wouldn't like it if he avoided spending munny on her, which he was not prepared to do. Even if the following night's Chinese meal was her idea, he was still going to be the one to pay for her share.

"Er ... It's alright, Roxas," Sora murmured. "I'm perfectly fine with spending my Munny on my meal and Kairi's-"

"Ah, but you don't have to!" Roxas interrupted with a grin. "Since I'll be buying mine and Naminé's meal tomorrow, I'll be getting another one for free! You two can have that one, since you paid tonight, Sora!"

"Well, that's alright then," Kairi giggled. She turned to smile softly up at Sora, understanding why he was feeling doubtful about Roxas' new idea, but not wanting him to. "I don't mind you not paying for tomorrow's meal, Sora. You paid for the one we had tonight, and I really appreciate that. Now it's our turn for a free meal! I won't think of you as a cheapskate!"

Kairi's surprising enthusiasm over him bringing her a free meal to an end to Sora's worry. He was surprised to learn she was happy for him to go ahead with Roxas' plan, although he realized now why. It was clear to him that the other boy was only suggesting it to make up for leaving him to be the one to pay, that evening. Assured that taking Roxas' advice would not lead him to upset his girlfriend, he gazed down at Kairi with a grin, which was full of huge relief. "Alright, Kairi. But I'm still buying you a sea salt ice cream! I'd rather spend one orb on you than none!"

Kairi giggled again, shaking her head in disbelief over how Sora was not willing to back down from paying for something for her.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then, guys," Roxas smiled. He was in a much better mood now that the couple were no longer angry with him, as well as the fact he had the way to gain Naminé's forgiveness. He walked over to the front door and pulled it open, letting a cold night breeze enter the house. "Looking forward to buying our meal."

"Alright! See you tomorrow, Roxas." Kairi waved to him whilst going back to enjoying her sea salt ice cream. "Remember it's at my house, tomorrow evening."

"And remember that you are paying!" Sora laughed, smirking cheekily as he pointed out to him. "You need at least eleven Munny, since you're gonna be buying a sea salt ice cream and your meal!"

"I won't forget!" Roxas let off a chuckle, seeing the funny side of Sora's teasing and determined to do what he was instructing. Stepping out into the darkness of the night, he spun around on Sora's doorstep to smile at his friends. "See you, guys!"

"Bye, Roxas!"

"See you tomorrow!"

To the shouts of farewell directed at him, Roxas waved to the couple who he would be rejoining the following evening, then pulled the door carefully shut behind him. He turned around, about to march straight home - when he froze at the sight of the full moon above him in the starlit sky. He gazed up at it silently, finding all he could think about Naminé. He was still angry with himself for taking advantage of the deal on the food they were getting. Thinking back on it made him fail to see why he thought it would be good to keep his Munny. He no longer cared any more if he lost it allm forever. As long as he didn't lose Naminé, that wouldn't matter. His selfishness had hurt her, ruineding for everyone what was supposed to be a wonderful night. And yet despite him doing that, she was prepared to give him a chance to redeem himself.

Roxas held up his Munny pouch in front of him. It was still in his hand from when he had taken it out of his pocket earlier. He could feel the orbs inside, which he had been so desperate not to lose. All he wanted to do now was to give them away to buy another Chinese meal and sea salt ice cream for his girlfriend. That was he needed to receive her forgiveness. He thought of how wonderful it always was to see a smile on her face, looking forward to bringing it to her, the following evening.

"I'm sorry for what I did, Naminé," Roxas said quietly, returning the pouch to his pocket. "I was a selfish and greedy jerk to think of my Munny instead of you. I don't care about my Munny anymore. All I care about is you and making you happy. I really want to be able to do that for you tomorrow, and I hope I will be able to mend the hurt I've done to you. Tomorrow, I'm gonna show you how I love you so much."

Smiling softly to himself, Roxas lowered his head to look ahead into the darkness, beginning to walk home. He was confident that the night which was come would be as happy and romantic as this one was supposed to be. His blood was completely clear of all the selfishness he had been behaving that night. He had now set his mind on showing Naminé that he cared about her far more than himself and his Munny. He would bring for her the largest amount of Chinese food that she would ever see in one portion, and would advise her to make sure she would have enough room for twenty sea salt ice creams afterwards. That was sure to bring a smile to her beautiful face.

Unfortunately, he didn't realize his pouch had just fallen out of his pocket. It was lying in the darkness on the road, still containing what he was supposed to use to pay for the following night's meal. He treaded further away from it with each step, unaware he was never to find it again.

This meant he had at least parted with his Munny that night, after all.


Really hope you've enjoyed the story. I also hope the part where Naminé expresses her anger to Roxas doesn't upset you. Don't worry, it's not the end of their relationship. She's just feeling pretty ticked off with him (and rightly so! :P), but is giving him another chance. He's just better have a plan if he doesn't realize until he's at the takeout that he's lost his Munny! XD

Well, glad I could finally get this story published. Now I have to go back to writing my current big Kingdom Hearts story.

See ya! :D
