A/N: sorry for such tardiness, but life's just like that. Now back to Sacred Moon High...

The next day, Zexion came into school thinking about how to approach Namine. While at his locker, Lexeaus came to hime saying, "Yo dude what the heck last night?"

"The flood was hell!"

"I know right? You were raping with the energy sword! That game may be old but it's a classic!"

"This may be off topic, but how do you think I should approach Namine?"

Lexaus paused and said, "This may be cliche, but you just gotta be yourself. Decide by youself dude."

"Yeah that was oozing cliche...so hows your girl?"

"Yuffie's fine. She was texting me yesterday while we were playing Halo."

"Oh really? So that's why you were so distracted!"

Meanwhile Riku and Sora were chillin by the library. "Did'ja play Skyrim last night?" Asked Sora

"No, I was doing the chemistry work, then I played MW3." Replied Riku

"Oh yeah I gotta finish that!"

"Same with me, I was playing a lot of survival and kill confirmed."

"I've been trying to budget my time, but Skyrim just eats up a lot of time..."

"Are we on the same subject?"

"MW3 campaign?"

"Chemistry homework?

"Uuuuh...girls?"

"Girls!"

"You still like Alice?"

"More like love dude, I can't take my mind or eyes off her!"

"Like me with Kairi, only Kairi and I are in the same grade. Alice is a somphmore and you're a junior!"

"Hey, Ive got a chance with her! And we'd last too! Not like Jasmine and Axel."

"How long did they date?"

"I forget dude honestly. All I know is that when they broke up everyone was shocked."

"Yeah, but now she's with Aladdin. They seem so happy together to!"

"Alice and I will too! You'll see, we'll be close than Belle and Adam."

"Overstatement much?"

"Uuuuuuh...yeah...those two are like in love! They're gonna be married one day no doubt."

"You know the bell rang right Riku?"

"UGH! Gotta go to homeroom, hey, maybe you should use this time to do that Chem work."

"Yeah maybe."

In homeroom, Roxas and Xion were going over the scripts for the spring play, Peter Pan. Roxas was overjoyed to have gotten the part of Peter Pan in the play, and counted himself lucky because the original intention was for it to be a girl playing Peter. Mrs. Maleficent said that she knew he was good for the part. His only true challenge is re-working numbers that were originally intended for a femeale voice. He and the music teacher Ms. Ursula have been working on making it sutible for his range while not making it weird. His greatest challenge is Ugg-aWugg beacuse of how high he has to go.

Xion got the part of Mrs. Darling, having Cloud as her husband. She's glad to just have a part, she didn't even think she was good for drama, but Roxas insisted she auditioned. Now she has a key role in the 's also in a song! Luckily she's already in choir, and has a built relationship with Ms. Ursula.

Demyx came in the room with his acoustic guitar and sat next to Roxas and Xion. "Yo Roxas, what's up?"

"Nothin much." Said Roxas, "Just goin over my script. How bout you?"

"Im good. Did'ja hear Oh, Sleeper's Children of Fire yet?"

"Probably for the eleventh time now! I have no clue how Ive gone so long without hearing it! It's soooo good!"

"I've been trying to find the chords for Means to Believe, that song hits home..."

"It really does, I also love In the Wake of Pigs."

"Oh yeah! That one is epic!"

"Have you heard Hush Yeal yet?" Asked Xion to Roxas.

"Yeah...and that one really speaks to me. The story behind it is so sad. When I read about it, I almost cried."

"Same with me." Said Demyx, "A family in Isreal was attacked by terrorists. The father and older daughter was taken to the beach and killed. The mother took the younger daughter and they hid in the attic from the terrorists and while trying to keep Yeal from accidentally smothered her to death."

"Yeah, Oh, Sleeper rocks for bringing that story to the world's attention. I also love The Family Ruin!"

"That song is so cool in a creepy way..."

Zexion was thinking about how to approach Namine. Lexaus told him to ask her about drama, since she's Tiger Lilly. Zexion walked over to Namine and did what lexeaus told him to do, he said, "Hi."

"Hey." Said Namine.

"Uh...so, how's drama?"

"Great. I love being Tiger Lilly. She's such a fun character. And prouncing around like an Indian shouting odd gibberish is...shockingly fun."

"Good old fashioned family racism!"

Namine laughed and said, "Like the crows in Dumbo!"

Zexion was overjoyed to have made Namine laugh. The biggest buzzkill in buzzkill history came...the bell.

As the studentes moved on to their next class, Zexion was truly happy. He couldn't wait to tell Lexaus.

"You're in Chemistry right?" Asked Namine.

"Yeah." Answered Zexion.

"Did you finish the homework? I tried to, but when I got home from drama practice, I was too tired to finish it."

"Yeah, it's not hard, just long."

During chemistry the teacher lectured as usual. Roxas was mostly out of it. He wasn't into chemistry. He liked sience, but

chemistry was his least favorite. All he could think about was the play and playing Assassin's Creed Revelations. He was humming the main theme the entire period, while almost trying to pay attention.

Xion was locked in. She loved Chemistry, and became into it since her dad would always watch documentaries of such when

she was little. She wants to do something in the feild of Chemistry. While Xion wishes Roxas would take some intrest, she also likes him the way he is,so it all evens out.

Axel was in and out. He was just plain there. He was never the same after he and Jamsine broke up. He wants to get back

with her, but now she's with Aladdin, and she seems truly happy. In his heart, Axel knew that they were never mant to be, but the pain is still there. He wants to start looking again, but he doesn't see many options. Then again, he has nothing against being single.

Zexion was out of it. All he could think about was Namine. He actually held a conversation with her, AND HE MADE HER

LAUGH! He was vey happy and couldn't wait to tell Lexaus. This was a huge step up from just being in the background, now he's actually talking to her and boy did it feel good to speak. Mr. Even noticed that Zexion of all people was out of it. After class, Mr. Even was curious to know why. "Hey Zexion." Asked Mr. Even, "I've noticed that you were out of it today. You usually aren't, is there a reason?"

"Oh well...I was just excited...and happy." Said Zexion. He wasn't ready to tell a teacher about his feelings for Namine, so he

had to play it safe, "I'm sorry, I was trying to concentrate...but..."

"Well, try harder next time. You're a great student, always locked in. You and Xion!"

"Xion?"

"Yes, very much so. She even asked me for extra credit."

"Why?"

"She wants whatever college she to be impressed with her science grades."

"Well isn't she an ambitious one."

"She won't settle for less than excellent.

"Well, thank you, I'll be more attentive next time."

"I certainly hope so, you have a test tomorrow."

"Oh! That's right!"

"Bye Zexion."

"Yeah, bye..."

As Lexeaus left english class, he saw Zexion walking straight towards him smiling. He was dying to know why. Lexeaus smiled

as Zexion told him the good news. "So, you held a conversation with her. Nice job!"

"Thanks Lexeaus!"

Meanwhile Cloud, Tifa, and Yuffie were walking down the halls when they spotted ...Sephiroth!

"Look what the hair salon dragged in!" Said Cloud.

"Yeah, a super saiyan!" Said Sephiroth.

"What do you want long hair?" Said Yuffie.

"Oh nothing...there's nothing you can offer me. Your lives were set in darkness from the beginning..."

"Cut the evil talk Sephiroth." Tifa replied.

Cloud and Sephiroth stared at each other. "Why do you haunt me?"

"Haunt? I don't call it haunting...more like monitoring...Do you fear me?"

"Fear? I'm not scared of you! We can do thins right now!" Said Cloud while taking off his book bag and cracking his knuckles.

"In due time Cloud...all will come together in due time."

Then there were black feathers as Sephiroth was gone suddenly...then they saw the door to Mr. Ansem, the history teacher's

room, close.

"Sephiroth and these crows!" Said Tifa.

"Him, Genesis, and Weiss." Said Yuffie, "Those guys are so creepy!"

"We have to stop him..." Said Cloud.

"I'm sorry Cloud but what exactly are we stopping him from?"

"..."

"Oooooooookaaaaay..."

During history, Lexeaus and Yuffie were talking to each other before class started. "SO...Lexaus, did you get my last text?" said Yuffie moving towards her boyfriend.

"Yeah at like 6am. I fell asleep as soon as I stopped playing Halo." Said Lexaus.

"So that's why you were slow with replies! Y'know, ya could've just told me."

"I honestly did't think you cared."

"Well little did you know, I was dying of boredom last night!"

"That explains the nature of your texts."

" you didn't respnd to the funniest one until this morning!"

"I'm sorry."

"No you're not, you keep doin' it."

"Hey, those are 's words."

"And they work just fine for me..."

"Speak of the de-"

"Lexy no!"

"Sorry."

Mr. Ansem walked in and said, "Good day class, now let's get started with class, now what did the progressives believe?"

"In better car insurance!" Said Riku making some of the students laugh.

"Haha very funny. Now, Cloud?"

"They believed that man was basically good."Answered Cloud.

"Correct, anyone else?"

"They felt the key to a better nation was more government control. In other words, they favored socialism." Said Tidus.

"Excellent!"

Meanwhile, Sephiroth singing the beginning of "Man Made Distaster" by Betraying the was next to him and wispered loudly "MY NAME IS LIFE." and then the both of them had the song in thier heads. Weiss was pencil tapping the drumming to the song with Demyx humming the guitars and Sephiroth wispering clean vocals and Genesis doing the screams, they almost had a song goin on in class, and Mr. Ansem never noticed. Larxene did though.

"Hmph...the wierdo ensemble..." She said in irrataion.

The guys started all headbanging at one point(those who heard the song know when), and Larxene started laughing sitting behind them today was a show for her.

When they finished, they all smiled at each other and nodded their heads.

After class the guys were talking about how in sync they were and how awesome it was.

"Dude that was epic!" Said Demyx, "We were all in sync, it was awesome."

"I can't believe the teacher neve noticed!" Said Genesis while laughing.

"Or perhaps he did, but did not care. It would've been quite the illusion." Sephiroth said in his usual dark tone.

Weiss took out a pencil and said, "My pencil tapping skills sure did come in handy! I love doing that."

They all walked laughing about their apparent skills. Lexeaus and Yuffie came out of the room laughing about another thing.

"You were soooo stressed out!" Said Yuffie."

"I can't help it, I could've sworn the work was due today! I forgot that it's Wednesday NEXT WEEK!"

"Well, at least you have time."

"Yeah, cause I only did two pages..."

"Haha! Nice!"

Yuffie went with Lexaus to Zexion who was at his locker. The day was going awesome for everyone. "Yo Zexion, how's it goin?" Asked Yuffie, "Lexy told me the good news!"

"Yeah, my day rocked! The best in a long time!" Said Zexion.

"Things are looking up my friend!" Said Lexeaus.

As they recounted how awesome the day was, Zexion turned around to see something he didn't want to...
