Stories during, and a bit after Twilight Lead To Darkness

Short story collection.


I sat on the couch at my house. Riku and Sora were playing Guitar Hero against each other, while Kairi sat beside me. We were cheering the guys on while Riku was winning, but Sora was not far behind in his score.

I watched as they played one of my favorite songs, Miss Murder. I wanted so badly to just start singing to the song, but that'd mess them up. I kept the feeling in, not willing to make my friends mess up. They were really good too. And as a singer, I knew NOT to mess up someone who is equally good or better in music.

Resist the music, resist singing! I thought that is until my thoughts turned to think of Demyx.

Demyx…he'd never Want me to stop singing, to stop feeling, to let the music go.

Tears started to fall a bit. I wanted to cry at remembering one of my best friends, the one who taught me to feel happy, to sing, and to feel the music. I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Kairi. She saw me crying, or starting to. I smiled and wiped the tears.

'I'm fine' I mouthed. Kairi gave me a concerned look, but I just smiled.

"Yeah!" Riku yelled. The song was done and Riku won by a mere thirty points. "So, Sora, who's the best at Guitar Hero again?"

Sora got a angry look and mumbled, "You are."

"What wa—"

"Riku cut it out," I cut in. "Plug in the mic."

Sora ejected the game from the Wii as Riku plugged in the mic. He handed it to me, knowing that I just needed to sing. Sora put in the High School Musical Sing It! Game as Kairi smiled. (A/N ok reason why I said that game, I've been playing it at my cousin's house non-stop like Guitar Hero which I am now ok at!)

I selected the song that I could sing to and get a good grade on: No One. I didn't need to see the words to know them, to know when to go higher and lower. I knew the song by heart and sung it with my heart. That song meant much to me, then again music itself was important to me. But No One y Ally and AJ, was one of the few songs that meant a lot to me.

The song wa over before I knew it and I heard the applause on the game and from behind me. I turned to see Sora and Kairi enthusiastically clapping while Riku wasn't as enthusiastic, but still clapping a bit. I smiled at that and blushed.

"Serena you're really good!" Kairi said, happily. She ran and hugged me as I smiled and thanked her.

"Yeah," Sora said, running into the hug also. "You're really good. You may suck at Guitar Hero, but you rock at singing!"

At that comment I hit Sora in the back of his head. He smiled a bit, a goofy grin, then just hugged me again.

"So what now?" Riku asked, sitting on the couch, watching Sora, Kairi and myself just giggling and acting stupid, hugging.

The three of u just looked at him, thinking until I picked up a Guitar and threw him one. "You play me, beat me, then we laugh, I cry, and then I kick your butt at singing."

Riku smirked, taking my challenge as he got up, Sora changed the games, and silence fell across the room.

"Ok, let go then." Riku said, smirking.

Three Hours later

"Best twenty-nine out of thirty!" I yelled as I yet again lost another round of Guitar Hero. "It's no fair, you MADE me play on medium and you know that I'm only good on Easy. I'm a loser and a newbie!"

"I'm pushing you out of the nest. You suck but you won't if you try harder, now pick up that guitar and play another song." Riku replied, smiling.

I was unwilling to listen but I eventually obeyed. Practice only make you as perfect as you can get since perfect is impossible. Might as well keep trying.

I moved the guitar back up and smiled a bit. "Ok, bring it."

Another challenge, and a new battle begun.


Point of this is trying to you know, keep trying. I suck at Guitar hero but rock at the other game only since I practice singing but not the other. XD

Sorry this is so late like I said before I'm out of Town in an other state. For me it's about 11 Pm and back where I'm from it's real early in the morning as is 1-4 am time or somewhere around there.

New shorts as time passes and when I feel like it. XP
