A/N: Hi, guys! I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas yesterday. I know I did, because I got the movies "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Coraline" as presents. Personally, I prefer "Nightmare" out of the two, but "Coraline" was pretty good, too. Anyway, here I go with another drabble.
Disclaimer: I don't own the song or the KH characters involved.

"I fell in love with the girl at the rock show"
-"The Rock Show", Blink 182
His favorite band of all time played at the local Metrodome, and he counted his glistening lucky stars that he had won his tickets while he could. This turning of the tide occurred when the rock radio station offered tickets to the twelfth caller. Yes, his luck won out for this, and the fact that his lucky number was twelve probably helped, too. Right now, he lived in the moment, jamming to the boisterous alternative rock along with the other concert goers. In fact, they soaked the music up like various types of sponges. These people acted like the music made up a part of their lives, not that Riku blamed them for it. Blinding lights cast their magic in the enthralling palace of an arena, the thrill of electric guitars and powerful words substituting for an obscure drug. Heck, he could already feel that lilting high like the other fans. Man, what a night!
It didn't stop there either. During the lead guitarist's chilling yet awesome solo, the frontman jumped into the crowd. Ecstatic screams filled the entire place to the brim as the adoring fans passed him around. Riku joined in the mosh, banging his head before stopping to gently push the singer back toward the stage. After all, the solo almost ended, and it would be time for him to please the crowd with the raspy vocals that skyrocketed him to fame. If only he, the witness to such rockstar greatness, could make a million dollars by entertaining people. When this thought subsided along with the wistful dream, some of the horde parted. That was when he saw her. She swayed to the music, her brown braids flying around her head. She looked like she could rule the world with that unconquerable confidence. She had both the style and swagger to do that.
Riku swore that he recognized her as the resident smart girl from his grade. What was she doing at a rock show? Shouldn't she be studying? Never mind, she appeared attractive now.
"Hey, Olette!" he called her name. "What are you doing here?!?"
Even though this was just a word, he liked her voice when she yelled, "What?!?"
Ah, this rock music was so incredibly loud! Oh well, no better time than the present to talk.
"I don't know," he replied, shrugging. "I was just asking what you're doing—?"
"Oh, that!" she shouted, walking over to him and grinning. "I love this band! I have all their CDs!"
"You do?"
From that night on, he was smitten with her. Who knew they liked the same band?
A/N: I think I'm getting a dry spell in this fandom. Not other fandoms (I put out a successful Alice in Wonderland one-shot this week), just this one. OK, I've come to a deadline. If I don't get 2-5 reviews or something that lets me know someone out there is reading this, I'm taking it down. Because I'm not really going to do a huge project like this if no one's gonna read it. You know what I mean?
So, FOR THIS COLLECTION'S SURVIVAL, please review. I am very serious about that.
Edit on 12/27/09: This collection is going to survive, hey, hey! ^_^
