Chapter 7 Radiance

That night I slept angry, and lost in my dreams. Who did those boys think they were? Trespassing into our home like it was ok. That Sora guy was such a jerk! I bet him being nice to me was all just an act! What makes me even more furious was that he lied and said his band wasn't famous and all. I bet his brother Roxas bumped into Namine on purpose. It was probably all part of their plan. I woke up in the hang out room and looked out the window.

Some leftover droplets slid down the panel. It was probably wet and muggy. While remembering last night, I caught word of what Sora had said 'I would advise you to shut your trap and start practicing.' It was true, we needed to start practicing. We couldn't be beat by the Red Stones!

I ripped the blankets off the girls bodies and shouted, "Rise and shine band campers!"

There were groans of disapproval and mutters of angriness. Once they were awake, I stood by the door and grinned.

"Ok kids! On Today's agenda we have to practice and eat! Then once were done, we can go relax in the backyard. Now Xion can you make us 6 bowls of cereal? Pour different boxes into different bowls. Namine you and Larxene can move the instruments into the extra room down the hall. Selphie, Olette, and I will call Zack and tell him to bring recording stuff. I have an idea."I announced.

Namine frowned, "What's you're idea?" I smiled at her. "Were gonna release our first album!"

After eating bowls of cereal, Zack (who I called) came with the recording things we needed. He even stayed with us in the recording room along with Cloud, Tifa, Squall and Rinoa. We recorded our first song Moonlight Bright.

"Alright Namine's song is next." I said.

Namine sat down on a chair with the rest of us sitting behind. "This is called Skating Rapids." The drums began at a fast motion and I started strumming on my guitar. The other instruments joined and Namine sang.

Namine

You probably think I'm just another face

Kairi

You're wrong!

Namine

Well watch me skate I'll past like a blur

Kairi and Larxene

Just like air!

Namine

Don't get me wrong we are a perfect pair

Selphie, Olette, and Xion

So what?

Namine

I have to say love isn't fair

Kairi

Oh!

Namine

Listen to those waves! Here they crash!

Larxene

Look me in the face

Namine

Just watch me pass!

I'm you're new Skating Rapid! Flying all around!

Selphie

Can't just spot what place I'm in

Xion

So you

Kairi

Will

Olette

Burn to

Namine

The ground

Namine

I know that fire is strong, just like my burning heart!

All the lies you forever shared that's you're favorite part!

Kairi

Hey Namine what's your deal? Pushing your fate away?

Namine

I believe I'm nothing else, just a broken fade

Kairi

Oh!

Namine

Listen to those waves! Here they crash!

Larxene

Look me in the face

Namine

Just watch me pass!

I'm you're new Skating Rapid! Flying all around!

Selphie

Can't just spot what place I'm in

Xion

So you

Kairi

Will

Olette

Burn to

Namine

The ground

Namine

I was always to be innocent

Till I broke the rules and paid the cent

Not a punishment I deserved

Life goes by like a surfer who swerved

There was a solo, all of us playing our parts.

Xion

Things aren't what they seem to be

Larxene

It doesn't really matter

Olette

Doesn't really matter!

All

All we want!

Namine

The fire, desire, you're a liar

All

All we want!

Kairi

Get ready for the time of you're life!

Kairi

Oh!

Namine

Listen to those waves! Here they crash!

Larxene

Look me in the face

Namine

Just watch me pass!

I'm you're new Skating Rapid! Flying all around!

All

Hey!

Namine

Listen to those waves! Here they crash!

Larxene

Look me in the face

Namine

Just watch me pass!

I'm you're new Skating Rapid! Flying all around

Selphie

Can't just spot what place I'm in

Xion

So you

Kairi

Will

Olette

Burn

Namine

To the ground

The song ended. I was impressed by Namine's song. She sang with such fire and passion that gave you goosebumps. It told something about Namine; she had an innocent face, but inside she that rocker soul. I grinned at her. We sang other songs that we made. I had my own song called 'Beautiful Darkness'. Larxene made hers called 'Spark'. Xion's was named 'Breakdown'. Olette's was 'Blue Ever,' kind of weird and creative. Lastly there was Selphie's called 'Forbidden'.

Once all of our songs were finished, we had an album of 7 songs. Not enough for a full album! We decided to make it thirteen songs. The last 6 were covers from different bands. We copied The Red Stones, it's exactly what they did. I sat in the recording room with the others. We needed an album name.

"Anyone has ideas?" I asked.

"How about Yellow?" Selphie suggested.

"No way," Larxene said without looking at her.

"Hmm, how about Radiance?" Namine suggested. I thought for a moment, the name seemed simple and plain. "I like it." I said looking at the others. There was a chorus of agreements. I stood up and looked at Zack. "We have an album name!" I said. He nodded signaling me to go on. "It's called Radiance."

*Red Stones mansion*

Sora, Riku, Axel, Tidus, Hayner and Roxas lounged on a couch in a hangout room.

"We have to do something about those girls," Tidus muttered.

"If they become more famous, then the Red Stones would no longer exist." Axel rolled his eyes, "I think were aware Tidus." Said boy scoffed, "I don't see you coming up with ideas!"

Sora frowned."Guys stop! Arguing isn't going to help! We need an idea that will put these girls down at the bottom."

Roxas face went pale. "You aren't talking about violence are you?" His twin shook his head. "Of course not, I'm talking about humiliation." Riku was suddenly interested. "Ok, I have an idea. How about at the concert we pour paint on them whiles there performing." Axel grinned, "Genius man!"

Hayner frowned, "Think about it, the big concert would have to be pushed back farther. How about we have a little press conference, we both perform and then pour the stuff."

The boys agreed with the idea. Roxas agreed but wasn't quite satisfied. Deep down, he felt guilty about hurting the girls; especially Namine. She was such a nice girl from what he known when he actually spoke to her at the party. Now he was going to hurt her. Roxas had to do something he just couldn't build up the courage to do so.

*Back with Silver Fantasy*

After the whole recording session, I sat on the couch in the hangout room alone. I was listening to Monster by Paramore. The beat of it made me bob my head and sing along. Without thinking, I grabbed a notebook and pencil and began to write.

I don't understand

Your meanings glued in my mind

You give me commands

That I just can't comprehend

You always know how to break me down; you all ways know how to make me fall

We blew it away! You're turning me on

Confusing the game you created!

This is madness can't break free!

Imprisoned the hope I had

Can't decode me

I stopped there, I couldn't think of anything else. "How about this," Xion walked into the room; which made my heart skip a beat. I didn't even know she was here!

"This dirt and blood together, it makes a big giant mess. Memories we all ways shared, now turned to nightmares."

I smiled and wrote them down. "This is how the chorus goes," I said. "We blew it away! You're turning me on, confusing the game, you created! This is madness can't break free! Imprisoned the hope I had, Can't decode me."

Xion smiled. "Perfect, what do you think of the bridge?"

"You guys totally skipped the refrain." Namine said walking in and sitting next to me. Another beat skipped.

I handed her the notebook as she read. "You always know how to break me down you all ways know how to make me fall. I like it." Selphie, Larxene and Olette soon entered. Seriously! What is with everyone popping up? "Let's make up the bridge together. Ok how about this? I will fight to the end." I nodded writing down the sentence.

Selphie spoke, "Me next! Kill the heart that you sent." Larxene smirked."And the fire that you breathe," Namine smiled and sang "All the lies are ink on pages!" Finally Xion and I sang together. "Splattered! Oh there splattered!" We created the bridge! Now the song can begin our next album. "Ok guys, we have the lyrics, now let's practice it." I said.

After practicing we received a call from Rinoa. She said we have a press conference next week. Millions of people will come to see us and we'll be performing against The Red Stones. It's kind of like a preview of the concert.

"So what songs are we going to sing?" Larxene asked.

"I think we should start off with a cover first, then sing the song we just practiced." I announced.

Their faces went pale. "Were not ready," Olette deadpanned. I frowned, "Come on, that's talk of doubt! We have to have confidence alright?" My band members nodded. "Ok, we'll be ready. We have all next week to ourselves to practice and do whatever." Namine agreed.

I smiled, "See? Spirits high and full of hope!" Even though they grinned, I can still sense their fear.
