Hello all!
This is Chelsea-Logan, here with my own character and Kingdom Hearts characters. This is an oldie that I had written on notebook paper from 4/5/09. (I date all my stories, lol.)
Here's the original intro I had hand-written from back then!
Blessings,
Chelsea-Logan
Listening to:
"What I did for Love" From "A Chorus Line"
(4.5.09)
Lol, I was bored and had this story pop into my head, a total waste of time. Seeing as how Kyra (Ameek's mom) can sing, Ameek should be able to sing, too. I know that sometimes isn't the case, bit this is my imagination! Ameek can sing, so yeah!
Alrighty then!
"Did you guys hear something?" Kairi asked, pausing on the small island. The sun beamed down brightly on Sora, Kairi and Riku as Kairi listened intently.
Sora raised his eyebrows, listening. "Uh, I don't hear anything."
"It sounds like someone's…" Kairi paused again, "Singing?" She turned to Riku and asked, "Don't you hear it?"
Riku listened for a moment, "Yeah, I think I do. Who is it?"
Kairi turned, running off the bridge. As far as she knew, no one on the island could really sing besides herself and Sora (Riku was painfully tone-deaf), so her curiosity was perked.
Kairi opened the door to the other side of the island, the sound getting closer. Whoever it was, they were amazing! She had to find out who it was.
She snuck closer to the partially built hut that Ameek was making for the island. Kairi could've laughed. Ameek! She should've known. Then again, Ameek was very quiet, who would have known?
Kairi crept to the open hole in the little hut and saw Ameek, hammering her little heart away at a long board, singing all the while. She was really good! Like a pro, and Ameek was only 14!
"I didn't know you could sing!" Kairi exclaimed happily. She ran in, "You're amazing!"
Ameek stared, the color of her peach cheeks draining from her face. "Y-You heard me?"
"Yeah! Why didn't you say anything?"
"It wasn't exactly important…" Ameek held the hammer loosely in her hands as she let her head drop, "You should've heard my Mom. She was the best singer in Myrand. People would come from miles away to hear her sing." Ameek stared out the window that wasn't finished, the sun smiling down on her, "I learned everything I know from her."
"And you probably sound exactly like her." Kairi smiled. "I can't wait to tell everyone-"
"NO!" shrieked Ameek, jumping in front of Kairi as she started to walk out the door, "Please! It's embarrassing! I'm not good at being in the spot light, Kairi! Trust me."
"It's sunlight, not the spotlight."
"Oh, you know what I mean! Kairi, please. I don't want anyone to know."
"But why? Ameek, you're good!"
"I don't want to be asked to sing every five minutes."
"Why?"
"You want to know?"
"Yes."
"I get nervous and start to cry. I really can't sing then."
Kairi playfully huffed, "I'll be right there with you! You can do it! All you have to do is sing in front of the guys. They'll love it."
Ameek sighed, brushing the sweat off her dark brow. "I can't. I want to, but I can't."
Kairi placed a sympathetic hand on Ameek's shoulder. "Please? It's us…"
Ameek smiled at her friend, "I will. One day, not today," Ameek gripped the hammer in hand, "I've got to get this done…"
"You know this won't be a secret forever," said Kairi, heading out the door. "It's going to get around one day."
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone yet." Ameek pleaded, "If they find out, they find out, but don't tell anyone."
Kairi nodded. "Alright, fine," she grinned slyly, pausing in the doorway, "Riku would be impressed."
BAM BAM BAM! "Not my problem!" Ameek hammered unusually fast, her back turned to Kairi. "Nope, not at all, why should I care?"
"Keep telling yourself that. See ya later, MeeMee."
Kairi shook her head with a grin. Ameek was too shy for her own good sometimes, but she was never boastful. Her parents taught her to be that way. It suited her, though everyone on the islands wished she wasn't so quiet. Maybe they could get her to break out her shell yet.
And Ameek's voice was the way to make it happen!
