Notes, very important: I love the movie Grease so much! I decided with a few tweaks I could merge the world of Kingdom Hearts into it. Some OCness, and a lot of familiar faces! Now for introductions, to ease out any confusion. Roxas is Sandy, and Axel is Danny. The other characters and couples are a mix of the other couples/characters in the movie. Roxas used to live in Destiny Island, and for the summer went to Twilight town. He meets Axel and they fall in love. When Roxas decides to move to Twilight town, he meets another side of Axel. The 'gangs' in the movie Grease are evident in this story. The T-birds are called the nobodies. The nobodies consist of Axel, Cloud, Riku, Demyx, and Namine. The Pink Ladies are now called The Somebodies, who are made up of Roxas, Sora, Leon, Hayner, and Kairi. The rival gang of the T- Birds, The Scorpions are called The Heartless. They are made up of Marluxia, Zexion, Larxene, and Sephiroth. Other characters will appear as the story unfolds. There will be no drastic musical scenes unlike in the movie. The lines may just be said or just cut out. Also, Namine is Cloud's sister, and Kairi is Leon's sister. I hope I included all the notes needed to understand. Let's get on with it, eh?
The summer was soon coming to an end. Roxas first thought Twilight town was going to be a drag. His mother insisted that he spend the summer over there instead of at his home, Destiny Island. Roxas thought the beaches at home were much prettier, and he missed all his friends. He didn't know a single person in Twilight Town except for his aunt and uncle. One day that all changed. He ran into a Red haired 'dream' boat that had a killer smile and had the sweetest personality. They ended up spending the whole summer together at the beach, everyday they could. They soon found themselves falling in love, but realized their summer romance had to end. Roxas had to go back to Destiny Island, and leave his summer love in Twilight Town. Today was the last day Roxas would be with his summer love, or so he thought.
"Axel I, I have to go back home tomorrow morning" Roxas said.
The two were at the beach, the sun was setting and the tide was low. The sounds of the city seemed to of faded away into the sunset. Roxas frowned and knew this could be the last time they ever saw each other.
"Roxas, this was the best summer I've ever had. I mean it so much, I love you" Axel said. He wrapped his arm around Roxas and kissed his cheek.
"It's funny, I thought I'd end up hating this summer, but I found love" Roxas then began to bite his lip and frown.
"It's not fair" he said
Axel tried to smile but couldn't, Roxas was right. Their relationship couldn't last. Destiny Island was a totally different world.
"Look Roxas, I promise we'll see each other again, someday" Axel said trying to lighten the mood, but it seemed hopeless.
"It's the end Axel, my aunt is moving back with me to Destiny Island. I'll never be able to see you again" Roxas tried to stop the tears in his eyes, but one managed to slide down his cheek.
"Roxas, you're wrong it's only the beginning, I swear" Axel then slowly pressed his lips against Roxas'. Their tongues slowly met along with their hands. Roxas began to roll around in the sand, and Axel made sure he was on top. After breaking the kiss they both smiled.
------I saw my problems and I see the light------
"It's exactly six thirty folks! For all you high school seniors it's the first day of the last year of school for you! A big good luck goes out to you for the first day of school from all of us at Kingdom radio! So rise and sh----" Axel hit his radio off. He was finally a senior at Twilight High. He waited so long for this. He got to rule the school, and next year he could leave his dump of a home. He sat up and pulled out his lighter and a cigarette, it finally hit him summer was really over.
Roxas heard his aunt yelling that it was time for him to get up for school. Roxas had so much trouble sleeping last night, he wondered if he could make friends at Twilight High. Twilight Town was very different from his small Destiny Island home. He sat up and began getting changed; today would be a long day.
------We got a loving thing, we gotta' feed it right------
The usual gang called the nobodies began to form in front of Twilight High. Cloud, Demyx and Riku were already in their usual spot. They were pumped that this was their senior year. No more bullshit from the upperclassmen, they were the upperclassmen! Special events, parties, and cutting class were the benefits they have been waiting for. Even though cutting class was already one of the things they did since freshmen year.
"Cloud! I haven't seen you since the first week of summer break!" Demyx screamed giving Cloud a slap on the ass, then taking out a cigarette.
"Yah Cloud, what have you been doing all summer?" Riku asked
Cloud grabbed his lighter from his leather jacket, and took Demyx's cigarette. He took a puff and sighed.
"I saved some money up, working for some guys. I'm going to buy a car, fix it up and make her a hot rod" He said. Cloud saw the smiles on the other two boys' faces.
"You gotta' be shittin' me! You better let us help fix her up!" Demyx shouted, forgetting Cloud had stolen his cigarette.
"Do you have a car in mind, Cloud?" Riku asked
Cloud shook his head and threw down the cigarette.
"Hey guys, it's Axel!" Demyx high fived Axel as he began to join their group.
"So Axel, get any over the summer?" Riku asked smirking a bit.
"Did I ever, I met a work of art at the beach this summer, it was the best summer fling ever" Axel said smiling
"Did he put out?" Demyx asked giggling like a little school girl
"Well, that's my secret Demyx, though it's no secret you didn't get any this summer" Axel said patting his friend on the back. Everyone laughed and Demyx put on a pouty face.
"Hey Axel, remember I was talking to about last night? Are you going to help me?" Cloud asked Axel.
"Sure man, no problem at all" Axel said nodding.
The school's ten minute bell rang and along came a running Namine.
"I'm sorry I'm late you guys, it's been hectic" Namine said panting.
"Don't tell me you decided whoring the nights, Namine. I wouldn't mind being your-" Demyx soon got a punch right in the face.
"That's my sister you're talking to, asswipe" Cloud said growling at Demyx, he unclenched his fist and got an eye roll from his sister.
"It's nice to see you again Namine" Riku said smiling at her trying to lighten the mood.
"Same to you Riku" She smiled and gave him a small wave
"The only reason she hangs out with us, is because she's Cloud's sister" Demyx said rubbing his sore cheek.
"She also is one hell of a mechanic Demyx" Axel said
"Yah, don't hate on her because she can fix a motor better than you can, Demyx" Riku said while everyone began to laugh.
"Ha ha ha, so funny I almost died" Demyx said rolling his eyes.
Meanwhile….
His aunt had set him up with one of her friend's son named Sora. Sora seemed like a good guy. He was polite, sweet, and outgoing.
"I don't think I'll fit in here, Sora" Roxas said twiddling his thumbs.
"Nonsense Roxas! I'm going to introduce you to all my friends! If I think you're great, they are going to think the same" Sora said smiling and patting Roxas on the back.
Roxas put a fake smile on his face "I hope you're right. Can we go to the office to pick up my schedule?" Roxas asked
"Oh shit! You're right I totally forgot!" Sora said slapping his forehead.
The school's ten minute bell began to ring, and Sora began to become even more nervous.
"Roxas, I totally forgot I have to meet my friends before school! The office is the first room in the center building, good luck!" Sora began to run and wave goodbye to Roxas.
Roxas sighed; his tour guide just ditched him.
"Where the hell is Sora?" Leon asked.
The usual gang called the sombodies had assembled. Kairi, Leon, and Hayner were standing around Leon's car.
"Maybe he's busy? He told me last night he has to show some new kid around" Kairi said
"Some freshy?" Hayner asked
"No, same grade we are in. I forgot their name though" Kairi said rubbing the back of her head.
"Who cares, he's late and class is going to start soon. I have Mr. Ansem first, he'll give me ten detentions if I arrive late the first day" Leon said
"I think I see him, hey SORA!" Kairi said running towards him. She gave him a big hug and he smiled at her.
"Sorry I'm late guys, my mom wanted me to show a new guy around. His name is Roxas, you guys are going to love him!" Sora said
"Roxas, eh? I already don't like him. You're late Sora" Leon said lighting his cigarette.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry! Let's go to class, shall we?" Sora said smiling
"We're seniors, finally for the love of GOD!" Hayner screamed
"Hey sis" Leon said
"What?" Kairi asked
"Have you seen Cloud around?" Leon asked lowering the volume of his voice
"Yah, he's with Namine, why?" She said blushing a bit
"None your business. Anyways, let's hurry. I think I just heard the 5 minute bell" Leon said pushing everyone along.
Roxas had finally found the office. It wasn't exactly the first room in the left building, or was it the right? Well whatever he was horrible at directions.
He went inside and saw an older woman filing papers.
"I'm new, my name is Rox-" he then got shoved a new schedule with his name on it.
"You're aunt called, she was worried so we made sure we had it ready for you" the older woman said.
He bit his lip and thanked the woman. He grabbed his schedule and turned it over, seeing the map Sora was telling him about earlier. His first class, his home room was 204, Mr. Ansem's class.
The last bell rang and all the doors closed, great he was late.
------There ain't no danger we can go too far------
The nobodies were slowly walking through the halls when the tardy bell rang.
"There goes my perfect record of not being tardy" Riku said laughing. Everyone in the group knew Riku had the most tardies. It was almost like his mission was to get the most tardies.
"Guess what you guys?" Demyx asked the group
"What Demyx?" Cloud asked rolling his eyes
"This year I'm not going to take any CRAP from anybody this year. Not a single bit of crap. I'm going to do whatever I want, whenever the hell I want!" Demyx said walking backwards facing the group. He didn't realize the signs Axel and Riku were giving him to look behind him. Axel groaned and Riku covered his face. Demyx then hit something behind him
"Oh really Mr. Demyx? I thought you were supposed to be in homeroom, not doing 'whatever' you want 'whenever' you want" The school dean, Xemnas had an angry look on his face and was tapping his foot against the floor.
"Uhh…I was just walking over there!" Demyx said trying to put on a smile
"Sure you were, that's why it's on the other side of the hall, correct?" Demyx was speechless and looked back at his friends, who were laughing almost to the point of crying.
"I was taking the secret shortcut sir" Demyx mumbled
"Sure you were, this is no way to start of your first day of senior year, now is it?" Demyx felt like crawling into a hole and never coming out.
"No, no it isn't sir" Demyx had called defeat, Xemnas had won this time.
"That's right, now go to class, that also includes you other boys" Xemnas said glaring at Demyx and the others.
"Yes sir" They all said
"Oh, Mr. Demyx, I almost forgot!" Xemnas said smiling grabbing Demyx's hand. He put a small pink piece of paper in it.
"Detention after school, my room" Demyx's jaw dropped, detention on the first day of school?
Demyx retreated with his friends, walking slower than ever.
"So, you sure didn't take any crap from Mr. Xemnas!" Riku said laughing
"He sure didn't, he did whatever he wanted-" Axel said
"Whenever he wanted-" Cloud added
"Just right there" Namine concluded. They all began to laugh, except for Demyx.
"Thanks a lot guys" Demyx said sounding defeated .
------We start believing now that we can be who we are------
The day was going pretty well for Roxas. He already learned everything that the teachers said they were going to teach, and Sora and him were getting along really well. Soon it was lunch and Sora grabbed his arm.
"LUNCH! I'm starving, let's get some food Roxas!" Sora said lining up in the cafeteria line.
"I'm not really hungry, Sora" Roxas said
He was on his mind again. You know him, Axel? Roxas couldn't get him out of his head. He hadn't seen Axel at all yet. Roxas wasn't sure if that was a good, or a bad thing. Roxas sighed and let Sora take him wherever Sora directed him.
"Hey guys, this is Roxas!" Roxas was awakened from his daze to see that Sora had brought him to a table with a bunch of people.
"Sit, sit!" Kairi said gesturing him to sit next to her.
Roxas sat down, blushing a bit. He then saw the cold stare coming from across the table.
"My name is Kairi, that boy right across from you is my brother, Leon. The guy next to him is Hayner, and you know Sora already! We make up the sombodies!" Kairi said. Leon huffed and Hayner gave him a wave.
Sora sat down next to Hayner and began to eat his lunch.
"Rox-as is frum-" Sora said eating with his mouth full.
"Eat with your mouth closed, Sora" Leon said
Sora swallowed the remaining food in his mouth and finished his sentence.
"Roxas came all the way from Destiny Island, crazy huh?"
"That's like the middle of nowhere!" Hayner said
"It isn't all that bad…"Roxas said scratching his head
"I bet it's a nice place, Roxas" Kairi said patting his back
"Things are just so different here from there" Roxas said feeling a bit homesick.
Leon got a smirk on his face, "So, what did you do over the summer, Loxas?"
"It's Roxas, Leon" Kairi said glaring at her brother.
"Yah, yah who cares. Come on, tell is what you did, Roxas"
Roxas blinked and blushed. Should he really tell them about Axel?
"I met a guy at the beach. He was the greatest guy I've ever met" Roxas said
"Oh Really?" Hayner asked getting even more interested
"Does he have a nice ass?" Leon asked
"Does he have beautiful deep eyes?" Kairi asked
"Does he have a car?" Sora asked
Roxas blushed even more and nodded.
"We met at the beach, after that day we met everyday after that. I doubt I'm ever going to see him again though…" Roxas frowned and began eating his lunch again.
"How romantic! I bet you'll see him again" Kairi said trying to cheer up Roxas
"I sure hope so, summer love…" Roxas said sighing
Meanwhile…
The nobodies were in their usual lunch spot among the bleachers. Demyx was looking under a girl's skirt while eating an apple. Cloud was looking through a car magazine with Riku, and Axel was lost in his thoughts.
"All these cars are crap" Cloud said throwing the magazine down towards Demyx.
"Ahh! What the hell!" Demyx screamed removing the magazine
Soon the girl above Demyx noticed him and threw her food tray at him.
The gang laughed and Demyx grunted.
"Axel, are you okay?" Riku asked tapping Axel on the shoulder.
"Of course. I was just thinking about the summer, remember I told you I found myself a summer fling? I don't think it was just a fling, you know" Axel said crossing his legs.
"Aww, are the wild flames of Axel's heart turning into passionate embers of love?" Demyx sat up and teased
"Tsk, whatever. You should have seen him. Big dark blue eyes, a cute smile, nice-"
"Mushy, mushy, mushy, did you guys do it?" Demyx asked
Axel glared at him and cleared his throat while Namine sighed.
"Let me explain what happened" The gang was looking at him with much interest.
"He was swimming and he got some sort of cramp. He screamed for help, and I swam over and saved him."
"Sure you did, Mr. Olympic swimmer" Riku said laughing
"Anyways, continue Axel" Cloud said
"He decided to thank me by-"
"He gave you a BJ, didn't he?" Demyx asked
Axel blushed and glared at Demyx "No, he gave me a sandwich"
"What the hell, a sandwich?" Riku asked
"I think it's cute" Namine said
"I know it sounds weird, but I ended up eating lunch with him and got his number. I knew he couldn't resist me" Axel said lighting a cigarette.
"Sure, sure, then what happened?" Namine asked
"After that day we met everyday at the beach, we got closer and closer. He was madly in love with me. But, the summer is over and he's gone back home to Destiny Island" Axel said frowning.
"That's pretty damn far" Cloud said
"No kidding, I doubt I'll see him again" Axel said
"That was so cute!" Namine said smiling
"You never know" Riku said elbowing Axel
"Then you can go have one of those corny movie reunions" Demyx said laughing.
"That was the summer, and summer is gone. I gotta' forget about that stuff, so it doesn't matter" Axel said
------ Grease is the word------
The final bell rang; Roxas' first day of school had ended. The teacher assigned the homework, which most of the students didn't even bother writing down, and dismissed the class. Sora pulled Roxas out of class to meet up with the gang.
"Hey Roxas, I'm having this little party celebration at my house after the bonfire, wanna' come?" Kairi asked
"Uh, sure I guess. I just need to call my aunt and ask" Roxas said
Leon decided to change the subject and ask Roxas about his summer love.
"So, about this guy, what's his name?" Leon asked
"His name? It's Axel-" Roxas was cut off by the sudden laughter of Hayner and Leon.
"Did you just say Axel? You might just find your prince charming Roxas!" Leon said laughing
"Yah, I know an Axel, but he isn't like anything he described him as" Hayner added
"Maybe it's a different Axel, it seems like a common name" Roxas nervously said
"Not really Roxas" Kairi said with a worried look on her face
"Axel goes here, and he's one hell of a jerk. He's the leader of the nobodies, our ally gang to the sombodies" Sora said trying not to get Roxas even more uncomfortable.
"He loves me, maybe he just treats me differently?" Roxas hoped
"Yah, yah. Let's go home Kairi" Leon said
Roxas gulped, was Axel really a jerk like everyone said?
------ They think our love is just a growing pain------
The nobodies showed up just in time to see their losing team lose their first game of the season. They had not won a single game since Axel's brother Reno was a sophomore, and that was a hell of a long time ago.
"Hey jock straps! That was one hell of a great lose!" Demyx yelled from Cloud's new car.
Cloud's 'new' car wasn't too new. It was what most would call a P.O.S: a piece of shit. It was rusty, and lacked a paint job. There were some dents on the car and the convertible top's cloth had moth holes in it.
The football team just growled and continued their walk to the locker room.
"Cloud, your new car is a wreck" Demyx said
"No thanks to you by putting your big monster feet on the driver seat" Cloud growled
"You mean, that was a seat? I swore it was a cushion! It's so damn flat" Demyx said laughing.
"Shut up Demyx, at least Cloud's got a car, unlike you" Riku said
"I rather have no car than a piece of shit!" Demyx said jumping out of the car
Axel was busy staring at the flames from the bonfire. He tried telling himself that Roxas was just a fling, nothing more. Too bad his heart and mind didn't agree exactly. His mind kept thinking about Roxas. Axel needed to keep up his image as the bad boy greaser, the leader of the nobodies. He wasn't supposed to like guys like Roxas. Roxas was innocent, pure, a total prep.
"Axel, you okay?" Riku asked
"I bet you're thinking about that boy" Namine teased
"..and how you made sweet wild love to him, eh?" Demyx giggled
Axel crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"Hey, Sora and the gang are coming!" Riku said
Cloud turned his head and saw Leon and Kairi.
Namine ran to Kairi and gave her a tight hug.
"It's
been way too long Kairi! I didn't see you at lunch today" Namine
said smiling
"I missed you too, Namine" Kairi said
Leon approached Cloud and bit his lip. "Hey Cloud, how's the weather?" Cloud gave a small grin and waved. "I've been better, how are you?" he asked.
Soon an unknown voice to most of the nobodies was heard. "I don't know Sora, I'm not good with meeting new people-" Roxas was about to finish his sentence when he looked up and saw Axel starting directly at him. Axel's eyes grew big and he gulped. How on God's green Earth did Roxas get here?
"Ro-Roxas!" Axel stammered running his hand through his hair
Everyone stopped their own conversations, and directly looked at the two of them.
"Axel! I missed you so much!" Roxas was so happy and was about to hug Axel, but Axel moved away.
"Hey, hey, how have you been? I've been good just incase you were wondering. I'm just hangin' with my guys being bad ass and all" Axel said nervously
"Are you okay, Axel?" Roxas asked worriedly
"I'm a cool cat, but you're giving me weird jives kitty-cat" Axel said laughing nervously, looking at his friends.
"What happened to you, Axel?" Roxas asked firmly
"I dunno' maybe there is another Axel. Try looking through the yellow pages or somethin', I dunno" Axel said
Roxas felt so embarrassed and angry "You are a stupid jerk, Axel! I hate you and never want to see you again!" Roxas ran trying to not let Axel see his tears.
Axel's group hissed and laughed except for Namine, while Sora and Kairi gave him dirty looks.
"Hey, maybe he was drunk or doing something not legal, who knows" Axel said jokingly.
The other began to group walk away, but Kairi had to drag their leader, her brother to leave with them.
Axel frowned; he really messed up, didn't he?
------Why don't they understand, it's just a crying shame------
Roxas found a quiet spot under the bleachers and began to cry. Why was Axel so mean to him? Why did Axel change so much? It made no sense.
"Roxas, come one. Axel is a big jerk" Sora said rubbing his hand over Roxas' back
"He sure is, I hate him so much" Roxas growled
"Come on, I know something that will do the trick" Sora said
Roxas blinked and wiped his tears away "Really?"
"Yes, now let's go to Kairi's place" Sora helped Roxas up and began walking over to Sora's car.
Final Note: Wow, that was horribly long ; Review for the love of AkuRoku! Next time scene/chapter will have way more cloud x leon and more riku x sora. Review, and thanks for reading! Any confusion? Just tell me in the review, I'll clarify anything. Oh, and gang isn't the same term as gang, as in gang member like. If you haven't seen the movie. ;
