Chapter 7: True Heart's Day Part 2
Hey everyone welcome and back, I just finished up True Heart's Day. Also I've read your reviews about who to pair Roxas with, some have suggested one person others want a harem. Now I have nothing against harems but I can only do a couple girls not a lot. So please send a review on what you would like to see Roxas have. Also about Roxas revealing himself to the school I'm saving that big reveal for later so please try and be patient. Thank you and enjoy.
After the shocking reveal of Hunter and Ashlynn's romance the whole school was interested was interested in it.
At the front of the school Blonde was starting an interview.
"So, fellow fairy tales, Blonde Lockes here to give you reaction to the royally rebellious romance."
The mirror pad switches to Raven who was in her room. "I think it's hexcellent." Raven said as Apple ran to her bed crying. "Ashlynn and Hunter decided to rewrite their destinies. What's wrong with that?"
"Oh!" Apple whines louder after hearing that.
The reaction changes to Cerise eating a giant Turkey leg in the cafeteria. "I feel for them." Cerise said taking a big bite out of the leg. "I mean, keeping secrets is hard." Sparrow sneaks up on scream and tries to take some of her food and Cerise's eye turn yellow as she lets out a growl scaring him away.
"A Royal and a Rebel? Ha! They're from two different worlds." Daring said when a dragon breathes fire hitting his shield. "I am trying to do an interview here!" Daring yells causing the dragon he was battling to whimper.
Finally, the last reaction is Apple. "I'm worried about them. If Ashlynn and Hunter don't follow their destines their stories could close forever." Apple sulks ending the interview.
The view zooms out to reveal Roxas watching all of it on her Mirror Phone. "People are really taking this seriously." Roxas said putting the phone away, as he made his way through the halls when he sees Dexter sulking on the ground.
"Let me guess the letter backfired?" Roxas asks.
"No, the letter worked Raven just thinks it was Daring who wrote it." Dexter sighed.
"You're kidding." Roxas said doubting his words.
"What do I do?"
Roxas pauses to think on how he could help. "Well aren't you going to Cupid's party tonight? Cause I think Raven is going as well." He said bringing a smile to Dexter's face.
"Thanks Roxas, you say you're not a people person, but I have my doubts sometimes." Dexter said standing up.
Roxas watches Dexter walk away before turning in the opposite direction.
In the Cafeteria Humphrey Dumpty was about to sit down when Hunter moves his hand.
"Sorry I'm saving this for Ashlynn." Hunter said as Humphrey walks away in a huff. Hunter whistles and a squirrel and a bunny both wearing tuxes bring out romantic plating and silver wear for Ashlynn.
Hunter looks towards the entrance to see her standing there as birds laid out a path of flowers for her.
"Hunter, we need to talk." Ashlynn said in a depressed tone before taking him out into the hallway.
"Uh Ashlynn?" Hunter asks confused.
"I just, I thought this would be a good thing, showing everyone that we were dating. I thought it would take the pressure off. But now everything is worse." Ashlynn said.
"What are you saying?" Hunter asks.
"My friends are upset. I don't know what's going to happen to our stories. Hunter, I don't want anything bad to happen to us, to you. I think, I think we should break up." Ashlynn said breaking Hunter's heart as she takes off the crown of flowers he gave her before running away. Leaving a shocked Hunter behind with the spectators who saw it.
That night Roxas was looking at the invite Cupid gave him and sighed. "That girl is really dedicated to making me feel something for this holiday, what does she think this will accomplish?" Roxas asks as he walks up to the door of a club that had music playing inside. He shows the troll watching the door his invite and walks inside.
As he walks past the coat check he enters the back to see a wild party with a DJ, people dancing, hearts hanging all over the ceiling and tables loaded with food and drinks.
"Is this what a party is supposed to be?" He asks looking around.
He reaches for a glass of punch when someone else grabs the ladle at the same time. Roxas looks over to see a girl with white hair and purple streaks, black headphones and yellow t-shirt.
"Hey there, are you enjoying the party?" She asks.
"I don't know I think I might leave, this place doesn't seem like my kind of place." Roxas said.
"Aw don't be like that, you just need some fun, they have a pretty cool DJ tonight she's really good."
"How do you know?" Roxas asks as she heads towards the stage.
"Cause you're looking at her I'm Melody Piper." She smiles climbing onto the DJ Station.
The crowd cheers as Melody grabs hold of the mic. "What up, Ever After? Seems we have a gloomy gremlin who doesn't feel up for partying. What do you think? If I drop some True Hearts tunes will that change his mind?"
"Yay!" The crowd cheers.
"Well here we go!" Melody starts as a techno beat started playing.
As Roxas listened to the music he slowly started to tap his foot to the rhythm. "Not bad." Roxas said as he was about to walk away when Melody creates a tune and a few dozen rats wearing sunglasses stood in front of him.
"Oh u hey guys." Roxas said as the rats point for him to go up on stage. "What? Oh no no no no I am not doing that." He said when a hand grabs the hood of his coat. "What the?"
He looks to see it was Maddie pulling him. "Wha? Maddie?!"
"Come on Roxas get up there and party!" She smiled before pushing him on stage.
"Alright! Roxas! Roxas! Roxas!" Melody started chanting with the rest of the crowd following her.
Roxas stared at the crowd chanting and sweatdropped. 'Where's a Heartless when you need one?' He thought.
Melody looks at his frozen and expression and decides to work her music magic as the beat increases Roxas suddenly sees his arms move on their own and he begins dancing.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Roxas said.
"What you think rats are the only thing I can make dance?" Melody smirks as Roxas continues to dance.
In another part of the party Daring was chatting with three of his admirers. "So, after 300 autographs my quill finally gives out. But there are at least 100 more girls in line." Daring said as Raven walks over.
"Daring? Can we uh talk for a minute?" She asks.
"Of course, yes." Daring said while the 3 girls send glares Raven's way.
"I wanted to thank you for that poem you left on my locker." Raven smiles.
"Uh, I never wrote you a poem." Daring said confused.
"You didn't? But it says right here D. Charming." Raven looks at the poem and gasps. "Dexter." Raven looks to see him sitting at a table nearby.
Dexter watches Raven talking with Daring when Cupid walks over.
"Hey Dex. So not exactly a happy True Heart's Day huh?" She asks sitting next to him.
"Why does my brother always get the girl? It's not fair." Dexter said.
"Maybe you should stop thinking so much about your brother and focus on someone else." Cupid suggests.
"Uh, who?" Dexter asks when Cupid points right at him.
"You. You spend so much time comparing yourself to Daring, you forgot you're great just the way you are." Cupid smiles.
"Thanks Cupid." Dexter looks to see Roxas dancing up on stage following Melody's music. "Can't believe that's really Roxas up there." Dexter smiles.
"Please Melody I can't keep this up anymore." Roxas said breathing heavily as the music stops.
"Give it up for Melody Piper and her backup dancer Roxas!" Cupid said as she walked up on stage.
Roxas walks over to the snack table and chugs a bottle of water. "Why did you make me do that?" He turns to Melody.
"Hey, you looked like you never danced before thought I'd give you a hand if this was going to be the last party you ever go to." Melody said.
"If I go to these things from now on do you promise you won't make me dance again?" Roxas asks.
"Aw and you had such good moves." Melody giggles before turning their attention to Cupid.
"Now since True Heart's Day hasn't been spellabrated in such a long time I wanted to tell everyone what it's all about. Once upon a time there grew a very special tree the Heart Tree." Cupid said as a picture of the tree appeared on the wall. "And even if the winter was harsh and the other trees failed to bloom, the Heart Tree blossomed no matter what. And so our fairy tale ancestors gave the blossoms to each other on True Heart's Day to show even though it's not always easy, true love will always find a way. And so to encourage all of us to follow our true heart." Cupid whistles and multiple fairies fly in holding blossoms from the Heart Tree to all the students at the party. "Make sure to give yours to someone special to you." Cupid said as Ashlynn walks forward.
"Can I? Hunter when I listen to my true heart, it tells me you're my Prince Charming." Ashlynn said.
"Aw!" Hunter said touched by it.
"But how can you be a Royal and date Hunter?" Blonde asks.
"I don't know. But if writing our own happily ever after means I can't be a Royal then call me Ashlynn Ella the Rebel!" Ashlynn declares as she walks towards Hunter holding her blossom. "I'd like to give this to you Hunter, if you'll have it."
"Of course." Hunter smiles as he hugs Ashlynn.
As they hug Apple walks over. "Apple! I am so sorry. I just had to do what- "Apple holds up her blossom for Ashlynn. "Why are you giving this to me?" Ashlynn asks.
"I might be worried about you, and I might think you're doing the wrong thing, but I want you to know we'll always be friends no matter what. That's what's in my true heart." Apple smiles.
"Thanks Apple, you're the best." Ashlynn said.
"I know." Apple giggles.
"This is literally the best day ever." Hunter smiles as the party music turns back on.
Dexter looks to Raven standing by herself. "I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it." Dexter said holding his heart when Maddie walks over to Raven.
"Don't be a worry flurry. Let's party!" Maddie said pulling Raven to the dance floor.
"Oh man." Dexter sighs when Lizzie comes in and takes his heart.
"Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine." She said walking by with multiple hearts in her hands.
Roxas was sitting down at a table looking at his heart blossom. "Follow my true heart huh? Maybe someday I'll find my heart, until then I guess I'll just hold onto this thing." Roxas looks at all his friends enjoying the party and having a great time and smiles. "But I think for now I'll just enjoy my time here."
