I got this idea from seeing Ferris Bueller's Day Off for the ten-thousandth time. I'm not complaining though! Please note that the Kingdom Hearts series is not my original concept. And that yes there may be some characters you have never heard of thrown in from time to time, but they are only to make the story more interesting for your entertainment. Enjoy!

Roxas awoke kicking to the wailing alarm from his nightstand. It took him a moment, but he regained his senses after rubbing the sleep from his eyes and shutting off the alarm. Last night was horrible he thought. If only he didn't stay up until three in the morning with that horrible Government paper. That was the last time he would ever pick such a horrible case to analyze again. Mayor v. Setzer was absolutely stupid beyond words. Without a thought he glanced over to the clock: 7:30 was what it read. Wait, 7:30?

"No!" He yelled, rolling over and falling face first onto the floor. Ignoring the pain he dove for his desk. His uniform lay neatly across it: a cream and collared shirt with tan pants. His brown shoes hung lazily by the laces tied together on the chair. He grumbled. "I'm late again!"

"Roxas!" A muffled voice of a boy called out. "Hey Roxas, you up there?" It came closer to his window.

"Hey Roxas come on!" A second voice made the attempt.

"I bet you 100 munny he overslept again."

"Don't be mean, I'm sure he's finishing his Government homework." A girl said coolly. "Roxas Let's go!"

He snorted at the people outside as he struggled on one foot to put his leg through the pants opening. He was never going to be ready in time, he still had to brush his teeth. With a huff he hopped over the bed to unlatch the dusty window. He looked to down to see his friends, all of them in their uniforms carrying their packs ready for school. The tall blond stood with his arms folded, tapping his foot impatiently. The brown-headed boy with a sweatband over his head only smiled and the girl seemed worried as they all stared up at his bed hair and still sleep-encrusted rims of his eyes.

"Hayner, Pence, Olette!" He called. "You all better go without me. I'll catch up."

"Roxas come on!" The girl gasped. "Get a move on!"

"Oh come on man!" The blond boy growled. "What are you doing up there?"

"I stayed up finishing the paper. I'll be down to catch up later Hayner, just go without me." Hayner sighed heavily, turning to head off down the road. The girl grabbed hold of his arm, pulling him backwards.

"Oh come on Olette, he said he'll catch up."

"Stop being a pain!" She ordered. "We're staying until he's ready."

"We'll be here for thirty years. That bonehead is wasting our time."

Roxas rolled his eyes as he put on his shirt while running to his bathroom to brush his teeth and comb his hair as fast as he could. After a few minutes examining his face in the mirror he finally decided he was presentable enough for the world. He casually went to his room to put on his shoes and grab his books to leave.

"Roxas." Hayner called form a distance. "7:45!" With that, he shut his front door and in a dash down the apartment steps he passed Hayner and the others up Market Street.

"We'll be late for the train!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Hayner said smirking. "What do you mean we'll be late?" Roxas skid to a stop, turning to stare at Hayner as if he were completely mad.

"What is wrong with you?" He asked. "We'll be late for school if we miss the train."

"Oh man." Pence chuckled. "You don't remember do you?"

"Remember what?"

"What today is." Olette giggled. "We said we would skip, remember?" Roxas stood scratching his head in wonder. When did they promise to do something like that?

"Pence suggested it and we planned to skip today."

"We said we would see The Dark Seekers before everyone else at school." Pence added. "Before Seifer."

"Oh yeah." Just mentioning his name made in competition made the goal more desirable. The movie would be good, but seeing it before Seifer could would be great. "Alright I'm in."

"Please! You would have been for it whether you liked it or not." Hayner sneered jokingly. "But I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat then chill at our spot."

"I'm all for that." Pence grinned, following Hayner to Main Street.

"Lets get pancakes!" Olette crooned. "With Ms. Murphy's maple syrup!"

"No way! She would turn us in in a second. We should go to Mr. Thames, his honey is just as good."

"The only person who likes honey on their pancakes Hayner is you!" Olette shot back coldly.

"Whatever, if you tried it you would like it."

"No I wouldn't. I've already tried it and I know I don't like it."

" Then you haven't tried Mr. Thames' honey with pancakes."

"Can we all just decide please?" Pence whined.

Roxas was left starring at the clock tower in the sunrise: 7:50am. He took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly, he was going to enjoy his day and turn in his Government paper later: no worries. He broke into a run finally to catch up.

"Lets get some watermelons too!" He called.

8:05 am:

"Mary."

"Here Miss Eagan."

"Thomas."

"Right here."

"Jessica."

"Here."

"Vivi."

"I'm here."

"Hayner." The silence struck Miss Eagan with surprise. Hayner had never missed class before, nor had ever been tardy. Maybe she was imagining things.

"Hayner?" She called again. "No Hayner? Alright then, Olette."

The class began to giggle childishly. The teacher placed her hands on her hips as she shushed them. This was really strange, Olette was never late!

"They must be sick." She mumbled to herself. "Yes Alice?"

The blond lowered her hand to continue play with her curly hair. "Roxas and Pence weren't on the train either Miss Eagan." She said innocently.

"Thank you dear, I will investigate later. Megan?"

"Right here."

"Caleb."

"Here."

"Raijin." Nothing. She cleared her throat to continue.

"Where is Fujin?" Still nothing. Miss Eagan frowned knowing what came next.

"And if those two aren't here, Seifer isn't either. Do you know where they are Vivi?" The thing in the a witch hat and scarecrow apparel only shrugged at his desk.

"No ma'am." He struggled to say. "I haven't seen them since yesterday at the sandlot." She sighed in frustration, taking a sticky note and pencil from her desk to write down the names for the ladies in the office to see.

"Vivi take this down to Mrs. Nadi in the office. The rest of you should answer the bell-ringer on the board. What are the roots of the following equations?" Vivi quietly wobbled over to fetch the sticky note and went on his way.
