Okay, here's the deal, this chapter basically has nothing to do with the story line. I wanted to add another chapter to basically show the sibling rivalry between Axel and Marluxia and to add a few more details to what exactly Axel's punishment was. And the most important reason, I plan on writing a story about Marluxia and Aerith and their performance. I see it as being a bunch of fun, and something definitely original, mostly because Marluxia's not usually a main character in a FanFic.
I do have other chapter typed up, up to chapter six, I believe, and I'm excited to post them, but I'm going to wait at least a week between each post, that way I can update more often, and it will give me more time to work on more chapters. If I get a lot of reviews for this, I will update sooner.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THIS CHAPTER IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH THE STORY, IT'S MOSTLY FOR MY BENEFIT AND HONESTLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OUTCOME OF THE STORY.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Romeo and Juliet. The lines are from a website with the full script.
.
It's their script and writing, not mine, I do not own any of it, I just borrowed it for my writing. (I would like to thank Nanax for pointing out that the link doesn't work.-THANK YOU!!-, but unfortunately, even when I correct it, it still doesn't show up you would like the link, please feel free to message me and I"ll send it to you! I promise!!)
Edit: I replaced the slight failure of an OC character with Aerith. She's cooler and fits better in the story.
I faintly remember hearing the door click before being sent flying a foot off my bed.
"Hi, Roxas. Hey, Namine." I said, my voice muffled in my world history book I had been previously flipping through.
"Hello!" They chorused, once again bouncing on my bed.
"So," Roxas asked as I sat up. "Wanna tell us why you were called down to the office today?"
I stared at the kid.
"Scheduling." I lied.
"Ah." Roxas said giving me that I-know-you're-lying look, though he didn't push the matter.
"I'm supposed to ask what kind of pizza you want." Namine said, missing my lie.
"I don't care." I said and it was true. I'd eat anything. Well, almost everything, but we won't go there.
"Okay!" She said as she walked out of my room.
"So what'd you really do?" Roxas asked as the door clicked shut, and then before I could answer, "Were you the one that painted the lockers?"
"Uh, yeah. Just don't tell Namine, she doesn't know it was me."
"I never do. So detention?"
"Community Service."
"Ew."
"At the summer camp."
"That's cruel and unusual punishment."
"Yeah."
"When do you start?" Roxas asked.
"The week after school lets out."
"The whole summer?
"Yeah." I sighed and stood, "Come on, let's go down and wait for the pizza with Nami."
"Oh, Axel." Roxas said standing. "Marluxia's got his female friend over practicing for their next show."
"Oh, really?" I said laughing and I opened the door.
The TV was off and on the couch sat my favorite-and only-brother along with his, uh, friend. Probably his only friend.
Aerith was a nerd, a cute nerd, but a nerd none the less. She had long brown hair pulled back into a braid as always. She was shorter than me and was Marluxia's co-star in all of the college's theatrical performances. And, to put it simply, Marluxia was head over heels for her. And the only person who didn't know of his obsession was Aerith.
But Aerith currently had her own obsession: me. And it was driving Marluxia crazy.
"Hey, Aerith." I said walking over to the pair as Roxas smothered a laugh.
"Hi." She blushed. Over her shoulder, Marluxia was glaring at me.
"What are you guys working on?"
"We are rehearsing for the summer play and we need it to be quiet." Marluxia growled.
"No, it's okay Marluxia, they can stay. It will be good practice to perform in front of someone."
"Oh, okay then." He said backing down.
"Let's start at Romeo's line-" Aerith began to suggest.
"You're doing Romeo and Juliet?" I asked, not bothering to keep from laughing.
"Yes, and if you plan on staying, then I suggest you shut up." Marluxia threatened.
"Okay, geez, just asking."
"Let's start at Romeo's line in scene two." Aerith said flipping through the script, "'Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.'"
Marluxia cleared his throat and recited, "Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me."
"Shh." Aerith said, her voice growing stronger, "If they do see thee, they will murder thee."
"I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes." Marluxia began, pausing and frantically trying to find his place in his script.
"And but thou love me, let them find me here; my life were better ended by their hate, than death postponed, wanting of thy love." I finished for him, reading over Aerith's shoulder.
"Axel!" Marluxia said, his face turning red as he pointed his finger at the stairs.
"But I'm helpful!"
"Go." He said, taking a breath, "Away."
I glared at him and then went to my basic literature knowledge to find the part in Romeo and Juliet that had amused me most.
"I bite my thumb at you, sir."
And without waiting to see Marluxia's reaction, I ran down stairs.
