Chapter 1
Written by: Mana
Four years had passed.
Four Painful years without Next In Line's New albums.
And Sora, Roxas were going a biiiit insane.
"CLOUD. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US BORROW YOUR TAPES."
Scratch that,. They were begging for mercy at the moment like true men. The Blond and Brunette were currently standing in front of their oldest brother's apartment. They were on their knees, hands clasped together as they looked up to the blond with a frown on his face.
Roxas and Sora were today going to have their anniversary of the Next In line's break up, and also being the fans they were, whine and complain about what went wrong. There was just one littttle problem.
Cloud treasured those tapes more then he treasured the fact that he was making his two younger brothers beg.
Cloud shook his head for what it seemed like the 16th time for the two boys. "No. Those were my tapes anyways. And every time I let you 'borrow' them you almost ruined them. Would it KILL you to stay over?"
Roxas and Sora only looked at each other quickly to think of a response. Sure they didn't mind staying at Cloud's apartment for the Next in Line Marathon… But both twins knew that Cloud would act such like a girl and slightly 'swoon' over the vocalist Squall. And the sight made. Them. Gag.
Quickly looking back at Cloud, they both spoke in response, "Then stop swooning over Squall every time you see him on the screen." What did they get in response from Cloud? Quick bonks on the head, before the door was closed in front of them.
Sora only yelled slightly, "CLOUD! OPEN THE DOOR YOU FAN BOY!" Roxas sighed before he spoke rationally, "Sora, let's just go home. You know Cloud will NEVER part with his tapes. He's the 3rd biggest fan in the household you know. Come on let's go home…" The brunette sighed deeply before slowly following Roxas, sulking as they walked away from Cloud's apartment. Damn it. No marathon this year.
As the pair of siblings walked off, Cloud opened the door slightly to watch the two walk off as he closed the door again walking back in the house where Ki and Li were currently watching the tapes of Next in Line, Ki sighing as he looked up at Cloud, his cap backwards.
"Cloud, that was kina harsh though. You know they're big fans-" He froze as Cloud was dazing towards the screen as Ki followed Cloud's gaze looking to the screen as Leon was singing, playing his guitar with a wide grin on his face.
Li only pulled Ki's attention, snapping slightly as he rolled his eyes, pointing at Cloud as he was smiling happily looking at Leon. He only mouthed, "Fan Boy Mode." Ki only laughed slightly, as he grabbed the remote, turning it off.
At this he only received a yell from Cloud. "HEY! TV ON NOW!" Ki however gave him a stern look. The shorter of the Akage twins was not letting Cloud go being distracted by Squall Leonheart again.
"CLOUD."
Cloud however groaned before he grumbled. "FINE. I'll go plan them a surprise, but NEVER turn off the tv when I'm busy watching the tapes!" Walking towards the phone, Ki gave a thumbs up at Li who only returned a thumbs up as well.
It looked like Sora and Roxas were getting something out of today thanks to these two.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Marathon. School was tomorrow. And today was more vegetables for dinner. Damn today sucked.
Sora rolled in his bed in the room he shared with Roxas, as he sat up slightly, looking out the window. Damn it all, if only Rinoa never ruined Next in Line…
He groaned a bit before he looked to the corner of the room, two electric guitars sat there, one that was a guitar that has a checkerboard pattern; Roxas's. His blue eyes trailed over to the guitar next to it, a blue one with four stars on it, and his name written on there in black.
Standing up, he walked over to the blue one, picking up it up. Sora smiled at the feeling. Oh how long ago when Roxas and him first heard of Next In Line did they pick up the talent of being to play the guitar. And even to this day, Roxas could proudly claim that Sora had the better talent of the twins in the guitar while Roxas had carried the better voice.
He sighed once more before a hand was gripped on the neck of the guitar before a hand picked up a pick, before he began to strum, testing the guitar as he turned on the cd player as began to play Take Off, one of Sora's favorite songs from Next in Line, as began to strum, his mouth mouthing the lyrics.
However before he could get into in and start singing, the door opened to show a rather… hyper Roxas.
"SORA! DROP THE FUCKING GUITAR NOW!" "Roxas- What is it-"
He however watched as Roxas made him take off his guitar as Roxas went to the closet, looking all over in his closet that also had Sora's Clothes As Sora was thrown several clothes at him, he blinked. "Roxas, what's wrong?" Roxas however turned around slowly before grinning. "Cloud got us tickets at the Club Muse's Den! YOU KNOW, WHERE NEXT IN LINE PREFORMED?!!"
At this Sora gaped before stripping of his clothes and getting dressed quickly in a black sleeveless shirt with a zipper on is, pants with several zippers on it and black shoes that were oddly shaped, however they were his favorites so he didn't really give a damn.
Smiling, Sora only grabbed a short sleeved dress shirt, putting it over him. Looking to Roxas, Roxas was wearing a checkerboard shirt and as well as white blue jeans and right now he was putting on his shoes, a tan jacket in his arms. However at the moment, he was too busy putting on more accessories as Sora just grabbed Roxas's ear, dragging him out the house before leaving a note for his mom to know that they were going out for the night.
Outside of the house was a rather irritated Cloud in a blue van with Ki and Li in matching clothing however Ki was wearing a short sleeved black shirt as Li wore a long sleeves one was currently busy trying to keep Ki's hat away from him.
And once they arrived, Sora and Roxas was too busy being amazed as the five of them were lead to a table in the front row as Roxas and Sora grinned.
"Sora." "What Roxas." "I Feel like screaming right now." "Me too-" However both of them were bonked on the heads as Cloud sighed. "You're lucky I know the owner here, so both of you hush it. Why can't you behave like Ki and Li?"
Roxas and Sora only turned to the blond twins who were sharing a menu before the turned to each other, giving sweet smiles, turning back to the menu and were most likely holding hands underneath the tables… Both of them just rolled their eyes as Li and Li were left alone as their eyes scanned the room.
People were just people, however Roxas and Sora blinked looking at a certain table as Sora spotted a silverette talking to a red head, both of them grinning and joking around. Roxas however was focusing on the red head, only to be elbowed by Sora.
"Ow!" "Roxas stop acting Gay! You're not Cloud!"
Roxas scowled as their eyes went back to the table, but… their eyes widen at a taller brunette walking over to them, wearing sunglasses as he sat down at the table, speaking to them. The aura that was emitted by the man was… familiar however… it seemed so dull and cold… However their attention was taken away as the heard the announcer speak on stage in front of them.
"What's up Everybody! You doing good tonight?!"
Several of cheers were heard as The announcer spoke.
"So As we know, tonight the day when Next In Line Broke up. Four years ago… HOWEVER WE created a legend here! And it's time to make another one! We have two performers here tonight Along with their manager so PLEASE STAND UP!"
Sora and Roxas blinked as the table that they were looking at Earlier stood up, three of them walking on stage.
The silverette took the mic as he spoke, "Good Evening, I hope My band WOULD entertain you, however we are short of two people, so we will take this time as an audition… If any body here knows how to play, play come up and play with us! We would like to entertain the audience, and the songs? Axel."
The red head, Known as Axel took the mic, a grin on his face as he pointed at everyone, "My Name is Axel! Got it memorized?!" He heard cheers, the grin widening. Roxas rolled his eyes however as he muttered, "No duh stupid. That silver boy just said that." Sora however snickered as he said, "And I thought you went gay for him." Cloud sighed before hitting Sora lightly on the head. "Sora Hush."
Axel Smiled as he continued, "The Songs we will perform will be… NEXT IN LINE'S HITS! It's to celebrate the Next in Line's creation here and to wish a new hit band to be born! So come on! Who has guts to step up and Perform?!"
Sora's eyes widen as he was pulled up by Roxas. "ROXAS!?!" Roxas smirked before he spoke, "It's what we need…. Since Next in Line disbanded, we were depressed… and like that dofuss said… We'll create a legend here. AND NOW." Sora's eyes widen before nodding as Sora and Roxas looked to the two before they both yelled; despite Cloud's panicking and Ki and Li's cheering,
"ROXAS." "SORA." "Will Perform with you two!"
And Thus…The Wheel Of Destiny Began to Turn.
