Axel: Ok, Flying Rainbow Penguin has decided she'd rather make me do the talking, because she's too 'High and mighty' to do it herself.
Me: Axel, shut up and cut to the the chase
Axel: You're the one making me say this!
Me: That's because it sounds like something you'd say!
Axel: Stop being a smartass!
Me: Stop being a asshole!
Demyx: Guys...?
Me and Axel: Shut up!
Zexion: *Facepalm* Flying Rainbow Penguin would like to say that she doesn't own any of the square enix characters, nor does she own the film 'The Grudge' although she did have a similar reaction to Demyx's...
All eyes were on him.
As a proformer, Myde should've been used to the spotlight - but tonight's proformance wasn't his forte.
He gasped as he was pushed forward slightly, the suit he'd picked out for the day was begining to cling uncomfortably to his body. Not that that was what he was panicing about. The girl in front of him looked vaguly pissed off, fiddling with her hair irritably; she didn't want to be here either. The crown that had been forced onto her hair was keeping her usual antenaes from showing, it made a difference from Myde's point of view - At least she didn't look like a bug now.
Myde looked back over his shoulder, the slate haired boy he'd been talking to and dancing with all evening, had seemingly dissappeared into thin air. It was as if he'd never even been there in the first place.
Why, oh why did they have to have picked him?
He took the girl, Elenar, into a shaky embrace, to which the girl hissed, "Just try not to trip over and make us both look like a fool." as the song began playing, although Myde barely noticed. His heart was in his mouth and his feet barely moved, resorting to swaying lightly to the beat. Others round him cheered, he heard a distinct woot from one side knowing that his best friend was watching them. He heard a supportive comment from the other, knowing Elenar's best friend was also trying to grab some attention from them.
The 'Prom King and Queen'.
He hadn't known why he'd been chosen (And it appeared the girl was wondering the same); yes, he'd been chatty all evening-alot more extroversial than what he remained at school. But to chose him? Lea or Isa would've been better candidates? Well,Lea could've been chosen before he had put some form of date rape into Mr Fayte's drink... But Isa still could've been it just as easily. And now he was stood up on stage in front of the whole year group, with a girl he barely knew trying not to hyperventalate. Not to mention the shadowy boy he'd met accidently had slipped back into the darkness of the crowd and Myde couldn't see him.
Momentarily, he wondered if he ever would again.
The song finished after an eternity, the blonde girl quickly pulled away from Myde running back over to the pink haired boy, Lumaria. Returning back into reality quicker than what he'd hoped, Myde quickly scanned the hall once again, but to know avail. It seemed that the gate crashers had vanished. Either they'd gotten bored or been finally thrown out.
The gate crashers had come in thirty minutes into the prom; one very tall and muscular, one middle aged and jumpy, and one that must've been younger than Myde. The first two stayed pretty much at the back of the hall for the duration, but the teenager had sauntered through the crowd occassionally stopping to apologize for bumping into someone, until he'd reached Myde.
Something about the smaller teen had sparked an interest in Myde, the boy was slow to smile, but quick and confident in talking about all manners of subjects. He seemed to have an odd interest in the paranormal or something as such; he kept questioning Myde as to whether he'd seen anything out of the ordinary, creatures or shadows that didn't belong where they should.
It almost made Myde want to laugh aloud at him, the serious tone in which the teenager adressed him of such ideas made the boy sound like he was tripping on acid or another drug which makes one hallucinate.
And how could he forget the way he looked, sure Myde had seen a couple of emos around high school but never one this... This sexy, he supposed, as he quickly thought about how his hair fell loosely over his eye, leaving another intense, violet one exposed to the world.
What had his name been?
Myde strode out of the back doors, hoping that the three strangers might have been taking a breather outside. He was mistaken, there was no one around. just a few cars in the car park and a couple of trees towering over him, pale moonlight glinting off the leaves.
Myde brushed his hands through his hair feeling his odd hair style on his fingers. He bit his bottom lips feeling a flush of anger at himself.
"Yeah so, Zexion," He muttered out loud, as he finally remembered the strangers name; while kicking over a green bin, hearing it reach the ground with a loud clatter, "What's your number? I could call you, maybe we could go out sometime." He held his hands above his head, his voice becoming more sarcastic as the rambling went on.
"You know what while we're here, would you mind all that much if I kissed you?" He continued then stopped mid-rant as he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He spun one-eighty on his heels, he gave out a nervous giggle. Maybe watching 'The Grudge' last night hadn't been his greatest idea. "Zexion? That you?" He called out into the assortment of plants he could head his heart pounding and feel his palms go clamy. Having an awful shrinking feeling in his stomach before seeing a small cat emerge from the area of interest. He sighed a breath of relief, not quite yet wanting to laugh at his own stupidity-hadn't there been an evil possessed cat in the film?
Suddenly a hand emerged from behind him landing heavily on his shoulder.
And he screamed.
A mocking voice began laughing from behind him, "Oh God! Myde, that was gold!" rang the all too familiar voice as he turned around too fast stumbling over his own feet. The other hand reached out and grabbed him before he hit the ground. He looked up into sparkling green eyes, taunting him mercilessly without saying a word. "What were you getting so paranoid about? It was just a damn cat!"
"Haven't you done enough joking about for one night Lea?" Myde said weakly burrying his head into his hands, feeling faintly sick.
"Hell no!" His friend retorted folding his arms over standing back up at full length. He looked down at Myde using his height and confidence to make Myde's ego deflate further. "Nor have I pulled tonight," He continued "So you, my cute little prom king friend, shall help me with your charm and..." He paused teasingly, trying to think of another word. "With your charm!" He concluded as he tugged Myde by the arm.
"Lea, I don't feel like it." Myde protested, although he didn't really much want to stay out here for much longer either.
"Nonsense!" Lea chirped happily dragging his victim back towards the door, "Plenty of pretty girls in there for you to flirt with, not all women are as bitchy as Elenar you know." Myde weakly mumbled at this idea, knowing that even if he did get close to any of the girls, they'd end up going off with Axel-the bad boy, the tease, the hot one. But the sound of the cat mewing loudly and hissing behind him was enough to get him to speed up.
"Zexion! This way keep up you idiot!" Came the condesending voice of his former tutor, who was summoning his shield.
"I'm following you, am I not, Vexen?" He yelled back not bothering to keep the irritation from his voice pacing alongside him. By the time they even reached where Lexeaus had said the heartless had been gathering though, the fight had already been won. Lexeaus looming over an animal corpse ominously. His tomohawk in his right hand.
"The blonde boy you were talking to came out here, Zexion." He said slowly, almost apologetically. "I couldn't do anything before him and his red headed friend went back in." He gestured towards the corpse. "It's lucky that they didn't turn around when the cat started a fight."
"Poor thing." Zexion mumbled, looking at the dead cat's body, watching the blood seep from it's chest. "Though, considering they went for the animal, over the humans." He mumbled as Vexen caught onto where his train of thought was headed.
"They're learning quickly," The blonde man said, voicing their doubts. "They can already tell a hopeless cause, from an easy kill."
"If they were desperate enough to kill an animal over them, though." The giant muttered in his low voice.
"They're starting to organize themselves, they were probably waiting for a good chance before attacking. Going for the cat in the meanwhile to supress their hunger." Zexion finshed moving his hand to his mouth, with his elbow resting against his left arm which was wrapped around his stomach.
"Shame about the pet." The oldest said extending his leg to nudge the corpse.
"Vexen, don't kick it." Zexion muttered rubbing his hand down his face wearily.
"It's dead, it can't feel it."
"It's still disrespectful."
"It's a cat!"
"That's not an excuse!"
"C'mon they're starting to leave." Lexeaus whispered gruffly, as he raised an arm gesturing towards the front entrance, and raised his other to open up a dark portal.
The former student and teacher nodded at eachother in a regretful mutual agreement that it was best to leave now. Leave before they were noticed.
Zexion: Well, that was some pretty obvious foreshadowing...
Axel: Heh, Demyx is still a coward.
Demyx: Flying Rainbow Penguin would like two reviews before she puts up the next chapter!
Me: Yup, that's about it! This is my first attempt at a fanfiction xD
