Disclaim:Don't own, never will, won't bother
A/N:After about a month or two of MIA I write this...I just need/ed a break...So yeah! #2! God, this is what happens when you play a little too much Sim 2...AxelXRoxas Mayhap SoraXRiku Will only be a few chaps. Also a VERY BIG AU! Heartless AREN'T HERE! And Sora is a year older than Roxas, who is not her nobody. -Gasp- There, all said...Wheee...
Summary: It's a week away from the annual Monster Mash at Destiny high, where all the school and teachers get to dress up and goof off. Unfortunately, Roxas has been having a rather bad week. From being stalked by the class loser, to being humiliated in front of her crush. Can her big sis Sora staighten things out? Or will Sora get some of this 'bad' luck as well?
Monster Mash
Prologue:Leaves
The trees swayed back and forth with the Autumn breeze. Reds highlighted with the setting sun, and yellows blazing forth in between with a few brown leaves hidden here and there. This was the best time of year. To Roxas at least. It wasn't too hot, or too cold, but just right. The leaves also put their best foot forward and dazzled all that happened to glace toward the boughs. Sure school starts around that time, but one could over look that. Sadly enough, Sora didn't share the same point of view. The brunette always claimed that summer beat all seasons hands down. Well, maybe Sora had reasons, but so did Roxas. One; the colors always reminded her of a certain someone, who's hair could rival the trees. And two; now that school was here, she could see him.
Yeah, you could call her odd, or maybe even quirky, but she couldn't change. That's what Namine always said. So, she supposed that she would always be in the back with her little sketch book, which was given by the blonde. Never getting up the courage that her sister so easily possesed, and talking to the fire hair Junior. Why did Sora always have the brass? She had been able to make friends from day one! Roxas could remember when Sora came home from her first day of school saying she had already made friends, and with an upper classman at that!
Giving a small sigh, Roxas stood up from the old wooden bench and turned away from the trees. Slinging the heavy back pack onto her shoulders, she set off for home and hoped that Sora would be there. She always made her feel better.
Chapter One:Autumn Fire
Sora gave a frustrated sigh as she scrapped the newest piece of paper she had drawn on. She couldn't think of anything spectacular for the Monster Mash! Not even her own costume! Why she signed up to help set it up was beyond her...Taking a deep breath, she started on the next idea for the dance. First, a doodle of the room, she'd gotten good at that now, and then...GAAAHHHH! "I give UP!" She roared, throwing her pencil and sketch pad hard to the floor. "I guess this isn't the best time is it?" Was a quiet voice from the door. jumping, Sora whirled at the intruder to see bright blue eyes and blonde hair peeking from behind the door.
Giving a relaxed smile, Sora motioned for the younger girl to enter the room. It any one could help with her doodle dilema, it was Roxas. So, Sora sat patient as Roxas scuttled across the mess on her floor. "I was hoping you could help.." Was the tentive remark. "Well good, I was thinking the same thing, so how 'bout this, I help you and you help me." Sora profered. Nodding, Roxas took a seat next to her older sister. "See, I was hoping...Well-um...See, the thing is that...I need help talking to someone." The blonde stuttered.
Sora transfixed her with a curious yet understanding stare. "Is it mom, or dad?" She asked trying to narrow it down. "If only it were that easy.." Roxas mumbled. Then it clicked. "You mean to a guy...Don't you?" Sora hadn't thought Roxas had hit that stage...Then she grinned. The blush forming on the pale cheeks was answer enough. "So who is it?" She asked. "What do you need help with?" Roxas quickly stuttered.
"That ain't gunna work Rox."
"I know."
"So? Spill."
Looking up with shy eyes, Roxas finaly consented. "He's a Junior...I know you have to know him He stands out..." Her baby sister went off, eyes becoming misty. "Ho woah,woah,woah,woah. His name." Sora held her hand up, stressing the word name. Roxas dipped her head and mumbled something. "What, didn't catch that."
"Axel."
Sora blinked, mind running over all the Axels she knew. There was only one person at Destiny High with that name. "As in Axel the Pyro? Axel 'Got it memorised?' Axel?" Sora asked dumb founded. All that was her answer was a barely perseptable nod. At that, Sora's face split ito a huge grin. Her lil' sis was not even bothering with the minor leagues, oh no, she was going for the top of the heap. She'd have figured that wacko character Wakka or Tidus. "Well, I'll think of something...Now, do you think you could help? I have to come up with a plan for decorating the Gym for Monster Mash. Any idea's?" Sora quickly diverted the subject, giving a mentaly evil grin as Roxas' face lit up at changing of subjects. Little did she know what Sora was planning.
------Later that night------
The whole house was quiet as a small light lit up in Sora's room. Her mother, father and sister had all gone to bed, so now she could carry out her evil plans. Speed dialing Riku's number, she prayed he was still awake. Thanking God when she heard a mumbled hello, she began coaxing Riku awake. "Hey, it's me."
One the other line Riku rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I know. That's the only reason I picked up." The things he did for her..."I need your help. It's about Roxas." That piqued his intrest. Giving a sound of acknowledgment, he willed Sora to continue. "I just found out she has the hots for Axel." Shooting to a sitting position, Riku hissed into the reciever, "What! Pyro?"
"The one and only."
"Oh my God."
"Yeah, I know, that's why I need your help." Sora had that sound in her voice. The one that only ment trouble. He grinned. "How can I help?"
------Morning------
Riku mumbled uder his breath as he shoved toast down his throat. He'd woken up late because the alarm had been turned off when Sora called. Knowing that's what he got for using his cell instead of a real alarm, he still blamed Sora. If he had a penny every time she did something to him...He'd be going to a private school where she wouldn't be...Shaking his head he ran throught the steps that the two had mastered uder the cover of dark.
Flash Back(Whee.)
Riku stood under the eaves of the closed corner store waiting for Sora. The concoctor of the plan had yet to arrive and Riku began to worry she had been caught. If she had, he was surely next, because they always knew if Sora was sneeking out, then so had/was going to Riku. He supposed that they had done it one to many times, but it was either getting caught talking at night on phone, or them not even knowing. They always took the latter. "Hey, sorry I'm late." Sora muttered, coming up behind him. "Goofy woke up and I had to keep him quiet." Goofy was Sora's dog, and along with Donald her duck, those two got into more trouble than they were worth. They were even worse than Riku's mouse, Mickey.
Giving a nod that he understood, Sora then began with her plan. "What we have to do is get them to meet first. We can add more later but this is a crucial step. We HAVE to get Axel to notice Roxas or it won't work." Sora had gone into command. All those that said she couldn't get something done were wrong. They just hadn't seen her in her atmosphere. "I was thinking, Axel is on the commity with me right? Well, he put me in charge of decore. You kow how good I am at that, so I had Roxas help. All I have to do is mention SHE did it and he'll know of her."
"I fail to see where I come in." He asked, knowing that he was just baiting her for fun. It worked. Sora rolled her eyes and tugged at his shirt. "YOU have to get him to SEE her. Either before or after, but after is better because then he has a reason to notice. Make her stick in the back of his mind." Sora rambled. "Are you sure you haven't gotten into Kairi's romance novels?" Riku asked, quirking an eye brow. Sora just growled and smacked him. After the spots stopped dancing in front of his eyes he asked, "Same time tomorrow?" Sora smiled, then nodded.
Without another word, the two conspirators disapeared into the night, leaving the corner store lot empty and silent.
Flash forward(Again, whee!)
"Hey, wake up!" Someone yelled into his ear. Jumping with suprise, he glared at Tidus with a sevier look. "Get in." he snapped, pointing toward the large silver truck. Tidus nodded and skipped to the beautiful beast. Climbing into the drivers seat, Riku pushed the key into the ignition and the truck roared to life. Pulling out of the gravel parking lot, he sped to Sora's house. Riku always picked every one up in the morning because he was the one with the vehicle. That plus he and Tidus lived the farthest from school in the rich side of town.
Pulling up in front of the smurf blue house, he honked once and had the pleasure of seeing a tired Roxas and a dead tired Sora walk throught the door. "Sorry, had to wait on lazy here." Roxas motioned to Sora, who on closer inspection, looked worse than he'd ever seen her. Giving a worried look as Sora climbed into the passenger side, he asked, "You want me to stop for coffee?"
Sora turn and blinked owlishly then nodded. Giving a thumb up, he pulled into the industrial part of town and swerved into the Dairy Queen. Running in, he quickly orded. The lady smiled and got him his drinks, but not before giving him her number. On his way out he desposed of it. Passing Sora a iced coffee, he was graced with her large, tired smile before she downed half the cup. "How long did you stay up?" Riku whispered as the two in the back argued about Mocha's and Black coffee. "'Till four." She muttered, closing her eyes and waiting for the caffine to kick in. "Don't do that tonight or I'm calling this off." He warned.
"Gotcha."
Riku then nodded, feeling his point had gotten across and continued to Wakka's house. Today was when they put their plan in action. He just hoped it would work, or Sora would be crushed.
Ug...WHEEE! Hahah! -Sigh- Sorry about that, I just had to unwined. I think there will only be four chaps, but I have this thing in the back of my mind poking me saying it's not...GAHH! For all other, Yes I am still working on my other stories, I just have writers block and many hard classes.-Pout- Hope you all liked the three POVS!
