Square Enix and Disney have the legal rights of owning the game Kingdom Hearts and its characters. The setting takes place in Destiny Islands but that's about it. The plot is from the movie "Prom Night" and is not mines but I have adapted it where some original written work is in the story so it's not a complete copycat off the movie. Some original characters have been made for the story.
Destiny Island High School – 2008
Three years have past since Namine's incident as she is still going to therapy about it. Riku was put away in a maximum security forever. Cloud however wanted him to have a death sentence but the damn court over ruled him. Namine was glad no matter what but can't forget the memory of the night her entire family was murdered. Her friends have helped her a lot. She now lives with her auntie Rinoa and uncle Leon once they took her in. Now it's the year 2008 and something big is coming up for the high school seniors.
Namine is in class finishing up a test when the teacher calls pencils down. All students' hand in their papers and Namine leaves the room with Kairi walking with her.
"So who are you asking to the prom Namine?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know. I think I'm going to ask Roxas," Namine replies.
"Took you long enough."
Namine started to get all defensive but more of a funny way.
"What?" Kairi laughed trying to stop her. "The fact that you like Roxas since um… last year."
Namine scoffed and said it is her only option.
"Just do it. I know he'll say yes."
"And how do you know that?" Namine replied with a smile on her face. "Did he tell or something?"
Kairi looked away and said, "Maybe?"
"Come on." Namine started to shake her.
"Just ask him. Jeez. You're making feel nauseas." Kairi then leaves her. "I think I will ask him." She sure was confident now.
Namine searches the halls to find Roxas since school is already over. Books are what made her slow down. "Damn books. Too bad I can't put it in my bag." She then spots Roxas at the corner of her eye. "Roxas!"
Roxas was walking to the school exit when he hears her voice. "Hm?"
"Wait up," Namine called out running towards him.
"What is it?"
"Hey Roxas, do you want to go to the senior prom with me?" Namine asked.
"Yes I'll go to the prom with you Namine," he replies.
"Really? I mean, with your best friend? This is your senior prom you're going to take your best friend as your date?"
"Yeah because I've got no one else to go with. Plus, you were one of my options just in case I didn't get anyone." "So I guess I'll see you there then. My house tomorrow?"
"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow," he says walking away.
"Tomorrow." She continues to wait for him to be out of sight.
"Yes! I'm going with Roxas." Namine then gets out of school with a smile on her face.
Namine was happy like a little girl running in the rain with eyes closed. She opens her eyes to just almost stepping onto a cross walk with the red sign still on. "Whew. I almost got ran over." She pushes the button waiting for the white walking sign to show up. A bus passes by. Namine looks at the bus to see Riku on it. Closing her eyes, she opens them again to find him not on it. She sighs still waiting to walk across the street.
"Hey."
"Ah!" Namine screams turning to see its just Sora. "God you scared me!"
"Sorry about that," he replies. Then the two start to walk across the street.
"So I saw you with Roxas after school in the hallways."
"Oh that. I just asked him out and he said yes."
"That's awesome. Now you don't have to go to the prom alone." Namine stares at him.
"Not that is a bad thing."
"Same old Sora. Anyways, since prom is going to be at a hotel, are you going to get a room?"
"Yeah I am. I'm getting for all us including for Kairi."
"You're just doing that to get laid."
"No I'm not."
"I was only kidding you. I'll see ya tomorrow night then." The two of them stop in front of Namine's house.
"Bye Namine."
"Bye goofy Sora." Namine laughed and checked her mailbox.
It was mostly for her parents until she saw the last mail. It was for her and it came from the University of Twilight. She opens it up and the letter said they accepted her and would be proud to see her around this fall. Namine always wanted to go to that college. They offered her a great scholarship there. Then she sees another college mail from Destiny Island University. She sighs and opens it up also. She also got accepted into the college. Namine was now questioning herself wondering if she should go to University of Twilight.
Then there was a letter for her but no name was given. Namine opened it up and read what it said: Dear Namine, it's been a while since we saw each other. I heard that your prom is tomorrow night. I hope you and your friends have a great time. I'll see you there. Namine couldn't get a clue on how could it be. Must've been an old friend that moved but came back or something.
"I'm home," she said throughout the house.
"How was school Namine?" Rinoa says folding the laundry on the dining table.
"Nothing special except the fact I finally got a date for the prom tomorrow night," she answered sitting with auntie helping her fold the clothes.
"Congrats. So who was the lucky guy?" Rinoa begged.
"It's, um, Roxas."
"So your best friend finally asked you out? I wonder when he was going to ask you out. HONEY!" Rinoa yelled. Leon started to come down the stairs wondering what does his wife want know.
"What?" he asked.
"Pay up!" she said holding her hand out.
"For what?" Namine was folding the clothes watching the scene.
"Hello? Did you forget? We made a bet on whether Roxas would ask out Namine and I was right, so pay up!"
"Damn it," he said under his breath getting out 10 bucks from his wallet and handing it over.
"You made a bet whether or not Roxas would ask me out?! That's low," Namine complained. "Even for you uncle!" Namine looked at him with evil eyes.
"Sorry. It was your auntie's idea."
"Auntie!" Namine was now looking at her.
"Ahehe. Sorry dear but your uncle thought I wasn't spontaneous. So I went for it."
"Well you really aren't spontaneous anyways," Namine laughed.
"Thanks a lot," Rinoa sarcastically said. "But I'm proud you did get someone to go to the prom with. You've been crushing on Roxas for a while. Are you going to tell?"
"I don't think I well. I mean if he doesn't like me back, it would be awkward. Plus it's prom night. I don't wanna ruin it."
"Well as your auntie Namine, I say go for it," she says putting the clothes back in the basket and standing up. "You never know." Then she leaves the room. Namine sighs just going up to her room brings her backpack.
"Wonder what's on?" Namine sits on her bed grabbing the remote turning the TV on seeing the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" TV ad. "Man, that was a funny movie." (Dan dan da dan click click click click, da dan da dan click click click click) Namine digs through her pocket hearing her ringtone play. The screen showed a picture of Roxas hugging her and them looking at the camera smiling. "Roxas," Namine says answering the call.
"Hey Namine. Listen my and the gang here are coming to your house. No Sora, we are not really dating."
"What was that?" she asked.
"We're coming over in 20 minutes. Kairi got the idea of doing a pre-prom thing."
"Why couldn't it be at her house?" Namine complained at the idea.
"Here parents couldn't let her."
"Fine. I'll them my aunt and uncle."
"Thanks Namine. See ya later gorgeous." Roxas hanged up realizing what he just said.
"Gorgeous huh?" Roxas turning back seeing Kairi behind him staring at him with arms cross and head down still looking at him.
"It…slipped," he said.
"Ahem. Right? You're falling for her more aren't you?" she asked.
"So what? I like her. Nothing bad will happen."
"Hey!" Selphie interrupted. "Lets talk about your crush later and get these damn bags to Namine's house." The two go with Selphie to help out but were already too late when Hayner and Sora packed up the trunk.
"That was fast," Kairi says.
"That's because we're strong," Sora says showing off his muscles.
"Really?" she says walking up to him. "Hey look its Jessica Alba!" Kairi pointed behind Sora.
"Where?!" he said in excitement.
"Here!" Kairi said pushing him down making him fall to the ground. She then bends down to him. "Now that's what you call being strong." Then she put her hand out.
"Yeah whatever." Sora took her hand and got up.
"Get in you idiots!" Roxas yells from the driver's side of the black Lexus.
"Uncle! My friends are coming over for a small little pre-prom party thing and sleepover. Are you okay with that?" Namine asked him entering his room.
"Yeah sure. Just make sure you guys don't do anything wrong," he answers while typing on the computer.
"Okay. They're coming already anyways," she says walking out going back to her room going into the bathroom. She puts on cetaphill on her whole face to wash it and turns on the water washing it off to make her be clear and all. Namine still didn't open her eyes while she tries to look for a small towel to dry on. A hand soon gives her a towel. "Thank you," she answers wiping her face.
"Namine," a creepy male voice says.
Namine stops still holding the towel in her face. She quickly turns around.
"BOO!"
"AAAHH!" she screams putting her arms up to her face. It turns out to be her damn friends.
"You should've seen your face," Sora says laughing as so did the others.
"You bitches!" she yells hitting them with the towel in her hands. "You guys know how easily scared I am. There's is a reason why I always need somebody when I watch a horror film."
"We know. We just thought it would've been fun," Tidus said.
"Come on, let's start already. I wanna snack on something. You have any idea what time it is?" Selphie says taking a look at her watch. "It's already 7:30. 7:30?! Damn it. Now I can't spoil dinner. What is your auntie making tonight?"
"Um, she is making spaghetti with garlic bread tonight. I know all of you guys love my auntie's cooking."
"Heck yeah!" Hayner shouted out.
"So what are we going to do before dinner is ready?" Olette asked.
"I know!" Kairi said pointing her finger up.
"What?" Namine asked.
"Damn it. I just lost it. Oh wait, no I just lost it again." Kairi always seems to lose ideas easily when it comes to having fun.
"Come up with something woman!" Hayner yelled.
"Shut up!" she yelled back.
"Dinners ready!" Rinoa called out from downstairs.
"Last one gets to wash the dishes!" Namine shouts running already dragging Roxas along with her.
"W-what? Wait!" Too late, Namine already brought him down.
"I'm not…" Selphie says when she notices her other friends ran fast. "Hey! That's not fair!" she pouted. Then she stomps the ground hard really mad right now since she has to do the dishes. When she gets there, she sees everyone already taking some dinner. "I hope you left some for me!" She then took a seat next to Olette grabbing some spaghetti and garlic bread.
"So, are you eight ready for prom tomorrow night?" Leon asked.
"Uh huh! I'm so pumped," Kairi said eating her food fast.
"Slow down Kairi. We're sharing the same plate hello," Sora said.
"Sorry."
"And why did you two share the same plate?" Roxas asked.
"Why? What's wrong with that?" Kairi asked.
"I don't know. Your food will certainly go by fast," Roxas said.
Kairi continues to eat when she notices she is eating the same piece of spaghetti with Sora. They both continue to eat it until they met each other's lips.
"That totally reminds me of Lady and the Tramp," Namine implies taking a bite of the garlic bread.
Everyone was done and Selphie was stuck doing the dishes all by herself. "Why did I have to be the last one," she complained.
"Because you're slow, that's what," Tidus said heading upstairs with the others. Rinoa giggled and decided to help her.
"Don't worry Selphie, I'll help you," she offered.
"Thanks Miss Leonhart."
Namine comes out the bathroom in her white silk small dress (Her KH2 outfit). The gang started to get into their pajamas already. Roxas was in a plain white t-shirt with gray shorts, Sora was in blue Snoopy shirt along and a white pajama pants with Mickey Mouse on it. Kairi had a baby blue Precious Moments tank top along with a baby blue pajama pants that had shooting stars on it. (I'm not going in for too much detail. Imagine what the others are wearing)
"Suck to be Selphie," Namine says to jumping on her bed. Her room was a big room. The room was painted blue with a few posters of music artists, and pictures of Namine's friends and relatives including a family picture frame sitting a small table by the bed. The bed was also king size with a white mattress and red pillows and a red blanket.
"Yeah," Roxas said jumping on the bed with her.
"Aww. They already look like a couple sleeping together," Kairi said laughing. Both the two looked at each other and slightly blushed looking away.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" Namine stuttered.
"Never mind," Kairi scoffed going into the bathroom closing the door behind her to use it.
"It's only eight and we've got nothing…. Oh, lets play Super Smash Bros. Brawl," Tidus says holding the case in his hands.
"You're not gonna get me. You are so, oh crap. I hate you! I just lost!" Tidus complained to Namine. The gang has been playing the game for a while. It was down between Tidus and Namine. It so happens that Namine was the winning champion out of her friends.
"Sorry. I just happen to be very good and you just suck," Namine said bragging.
"What's next? We've been playing this little tournament for a while now. How bout we watch a movie," Selphie said.
"Which one?" Kairi asked looking through a fashion magazine sitting on the floor.
Selphie then goes to her DVD shelf's huge collection of movies. "Damn Namine! How much movies did you buy. This is a full shelve."
"When am bored, I watch or buy movies," she answers.
"What do we have? What do we have? Anybody wanna see," Selphie said taking out Mean Girls. "Mean Girls?"
"Yeah. What a funny movie," Olette says getting off the computer already.
"Hot chicks fighting?! All right!" Hayner cheered slapping high five with Roxas.
"Morons," Olette said at the idea.
Selphie puts in the movie as the gang gets out Namine's sleeping bags from her closet and Roxas turning off the lights with TV only the source of light.
"Lucky for me I have a bed and I don't want everybody in my bed. It will feel weird," Namine bragged.
"You suck! We have to sleep on the floor!" Hayner complained.
"Oh, we're out of sleeping bags. I guess Roxas has to sleep with Namine," Olette said.
"Are you okay with that Namine," he asked.
"Not if you're are?" she asked back.
"Good. Then its settle," Olette said.
Mostly some were already sleeping but someone had to turn off the TV soon. Sora and Kairi were in the same sleeping bag with her on his chest and his arms wrapping around her. Hayner and Olette were sleeping side-by-side facing each other's face with eyes closed close. Tidus was sleeping on his side as Selphie was facing him wrapping her arms around while they sleep. That just leaves to Roxas and Namine who were still asleep.
"My god, it's almost one 'o' clock already," Namine whispered.
"I know. We should be sleeping already. I mean, look at the others already. They already look like they were married or something. Why does it seem we're the only ones not together?" Roxas asked as Namine didn't want to address that question.
"I'm sorry I asked that."
"No. Don't be. I've…. Always wondered why also," Namine said softly looking at the TV.
"It just always seemed we were the seventh and eight wheel whenever all of us go out somewhere. But you, you've always have been there for me and has been friend for a long time. It's like I've known you my entire life. When my... family was killed, you've been there every step and moment with me after it. I couldn't," she says turning to him. "…Ask for a better friend."
"You too Namine. I couldn't ask for a better friend," he replies as they hug each other.
"I wanna tell her so bad. I just don't it's the right time now. I'll tell her at prom when the moment comes," Roxas thought.
"I pretty myself opened up myself to him more than anyone else. I love this feeling," Namine thought.
"Lets go to sleep now. Turn off the TV and DVD now," Roxas said.
"Okay." Namine turns off the DVD player with the remote and the TV also. She lies down on her side closing her eyes.
"Good night Namine."
"Good night Roxas." Namine just smiled and went to sleep.
