Chapter 9: the dates part 3: Roxas and Weiss

(As the celebrations were continuing in the arena Weiss looks at her scroll to see a recorded message from her sister winter)

Winter: to my dearest sister it's time for the annual Schnee company ball so please arrive by 7 pm in atlas and the festivities will begin at 8 pm and please try to bring a date not one of your teammates. I hope to see you and your date here by 7 pm and make sure he has a suit.

(The message ends and Weiss smiles a bit as she enjoyed the annual ball every year but, frowned because she unfortunately couldn't find a date due to her "bright personality" each and every year)

Roxas: (looks at Weiss with concern) hey Weiss... Are you ok?

Weiss: (snaps up to look at Roxas) oh yeah... I'm ok it's just that...

Roxas: (tilts his head) what is it?

Weiss: (looks down) well... today is the annual Schnee company ball and I always ask a friend to go but this time... I need a date.

Roxas: (smiles and puts a thumb on his heart) no problem... I'll go as your date tonight!

Weiss: (still looking down upset) considering you have to. because of your promise...

Roxas: (interrupted) this doesn't have to do with the promise... (Looks up blushing) I-I want to go out with you Weiss and if this party tonight is the only way then... (Puts a fist to his chest) I'll do it!

(Weiss blushed and stared right at Roxas not believing what she just heard that he wants to do this out of his free will which just makes her run up and hug him)

Weiss: (blushing while holding Roxas) t-thank you Roxas I...

Roxas: (puts his hands on her shoulders and smiles) no problem Weiss so... What time do we need to head out?

Weiss: (shows Roxas the message on her scroll) here it is...

(After listening to the message, Roxas gives back the scroll)

Roxas: (nods) alright then we gotta head out at 6:30 pm to atlas academy.

Weiss: correct and... (Looks at roxas's clothes) you can't go like that!

Roxas: (looks at his normal gear) what's wrong with what I got on?

Weiss: (blushes) n-nothing at all it's just... That this is a formal event and-

Roxas: (puts his arms forward and pushes gently in the air) ok I guess I'll get a suit... (Smirks) actually I have a suit in my dorm and I just gotta get it ready. So ms. Schnee... I'll see you at the front of the school at 6:28 tonight until then (takes her right hand and kisses it) I'll see ya later.

Weiss: (looks at Roxas walk off and smiles while looking at the spot where Roxas kissed her) I'm looking forward to it.

*6:28 pm*

(Weiss is in front of the school in her "snow pea" outfit waiting for Roxas impatiently starts walking around)

Weiss: (looks around and is getting mad) where is he?! If he doesn't show up I'm gonna- (just as she was about to finish she sees a blonde boy coming towards her with a white rose in his hands and covers her mouth with her hands)

Roxas: (waves with his left hand) hey Weiss... (Looks at her briefly and then blushes seeing the "snow pea" outfit) wow... You look beautiful.

(Weiss didn't respond as she is in shock that the boy in front of her is Roxas which earlier in the day she saw him in his normal outfit but now sees him in a red buttoned down shirt, a white tuxedo jacket with 12 golden crown buttons, black dress pants, dress shoes, his X necklace hanging out in front of his black tie but, what caught her attention the most was his hair as its not widely spiky as its mostly a smooth spiky as his top spikes was combed down to go forward rather than up and now has noticeable bangs coverings around his ear while the rest of his hair is combed down)

Weiss: (blushes madly) R-R-Roxas is that y-you?!

Roxas: (nods but then blushing in embarrassment) yeah... It's me alright oh! I almost forgot... Here (hands Weiss a white rose) you said it was your favorite flower so I looked all over remnant for this and...

(Weiss runs up to Roxas and kisses his cheek and takes the white rose and cuts the stem to place the flower in her hair)

Weiss: (gives Roxas her left hand) so... Ready to head off?

Roxas: (holds her hand and is holding the gummi ship Mark 2 block in his left hand and throws it causing the transformation) now I'm ready.

(The two get on the ship to fly over to atlas academy for the annual ball)

Atlas academy, remnant

(When getting off of the ship Roxas grabs the cube and sees the academy as it is way bigger than beacon but, has a design of Alcatraz prison with more spires)

Roxas: (looks in disgust) this looks like a place for soldiers rather than students.

Weiss: (nods) your right... That's the purpose of this academy where as beacon is peaceful this place is the opposite but, just as efficient as every other academy in remnant.

Roxas: (still upset) well... We better get moving... this place so far brings back bad memories.

Weiss: (looks confused) bad memories?

(The two walk to the gym which was turned into a beautiful ball room with diamond encrusted white ribbons on the rafters and tables for the guests which their many seated already and 3 thrones marked for the Schnee family with the middle is for their father and the left and right being for the Schnee sisters)

?: (walking forward) you finally showed up dear sister.

Weiss: (looks at who was walking towards her and smiles) winter! I've missed you sis!

Winter: (smiles) so have I Weiss and... (Looks at Roxas) who's your guest?

Roxas: (looks at winter with hesitation) I'm Roxas and you must be winter schnee.

Winter: (extended her hand) indeed I am

And I've heard all about you and team STRV from beacon academy. With your team's kind of potential as atlas academy students-

?: (interrupts winter) this world will be in better hands.

(The three of them look to see a man with a strong physique and a hair style similar to superman's except for the white lines on the side of his head wearing a white over coat with a gray under coat and white dress pants)

Winter: (salutes) general ironwood! Sir!

Ironwood: (puts a hand up) stand down winter it is fine enjoy the night. (Looks at Roxas smiling) so... Your Roxas... of team STRV it's an honor to meet you at last.

Roxas: (still cautious) likewise... General ironwood I presume?

Ironwood: (smiles and extended his arm) Roxas... Tonight call me... James.

(Roxas shakes James's hand but is still cautious)

Ironwood: (notices his tension) is everything alright?

Roxas: (fakes a smile) yes! Everything is just fine thanks for the concern James.

(Ironwood nods and heads off to speak with Weiss's father)

Weiss: (starts getting upset) Roxas... If you're not feeling well then-

Roxas: (interrupted Weiss) don't say it... I have my suspicions but... I won't let it ruin this night for you!

Weiss: (gets close to Roxas holding him close) if you need to talk... I'm right here.

Roxas: (starts to hug Weiss) yeah... I got it (looks at Weiss with a sparkle in his eyes but then blinks for a moment and sees Xion and backs up) X-xion?! (Starts backing up as he's seen a ghost) n-no it can't be!

Weiss: (looks confused) Roxas... Who's Xion? (Starts getting mad) is she your girlfriend?!

Roxas: (shakes his head to see an angry Weiss) w-what happened? Uh oh... W-Weiss are you-

Weiss: (slaps Roxas hard) who the hell is Xion?! Answer me... now Roxas!

Roxas: (looks down while rubbing his cheek) first off... no Xion was not my girlfriend, secondly ow! And thirdly she was... (Starts to tear up) my best friend.

Weiss: (looks at Roxas with wide eyes and covers her mouth) she was your b-best friend? I didn't know I'm really sorry!

Roxas: (smiles a bit) it's fine Weiss really but... Go enjoy the dance I wanna be alone for a bit. (he starts walking off)

Weiss: (runs after Roxas) wait Roxas-

(A random guy tries to dance with Weiss but, in pure anger and determination gave him a low blow with a hard kick getting him out of the way and runs to find Roxas)

(Meanwhile the bad memories in Roxas's head kept hurting him so he clutched his head to make the pain stop)

Roxas: (clutches his head) man! Why did I have to think about Xion at a time like this when I'm on a date with Weiss (whacks his forehead repeatedly thinking of his mistake) Stupid, Stupid, Stupid! How can I think of the past when I'm with the most beautiful girl ever?!

Weiss: (blushes behind Roxas) I-is that true Roxas?

Roxas: (gulps as he turns to see Weiss behind him) w-well um...

(Just he was about to answer winter walks towards them to get the two back to the dance)

Winter: I don't mean to be rude but... (Grabs both Roxas and Weiss and starts walking) we must get back to the party as introduction won't start without You Weiss.

Weiss: (still blushing) r-right sister.

Roxas: (now blushing) w-we're coming!

(As the three of them came back inside Roxas found his seat near the front of the three chairs for Weiss, winter and their father)

Weiss's father: (stands up) greetings all and welcome to the 45th annual Schnee company ball. We are honored to have guests such as you here this evening and hope you all have a wonderful night here.

(The crowd claps and Roxas as well but, is looking around to see if he can spot that vision of Xion he briefly saw then rubs his eyes)

Roxas: (stops clapping and rubs his eyes) what was that all about? And why did I vision Xion for? I should just calm down it's probably nothing.

Weiss's father: now... My eldest daughter will have the first dance with any guest of her choice and my youngest daughter will choose next. (Looks to winter) make your choice

(Winter looks at the various men around the ball room then smirks as she found choice)

Winter: the person I choose is (points her finger to Roxas) you.

Roxas: (in shock stands up) w-what?! Me!

Weiss: (just as shocked as Roxas) w-why Roxas sis?!

Winter: (walking towards Roxas) well... I'd like to see personally what he's made of first hand (smirks) unless you mind sister?

Weiss: (blushes and looks away) h-he's not my boyfriend so... g-go on ahead!

Roxas: (thinks fast) um winter I don't think you made the right choice I r-really can't-

Winter: (grabs Roxas's arm and goes to the dance floor) it'll be fine Roxas I'm certain that someone like you can dance.

Roxas: (glups and thinks) little does she know that I...CANT...DANCE!

(As the ball room music played, winter was moving ever so elegantly while Roxas well... Let's just say he's trying not to fall)

Winter: (looking at her dance partner confused) Roxas... Is everything alright? You seem you are about to fall.

Roxas: (trying not to step on winter's feet and regain his balance) well... To be honest... I can't dance winter (looks down at his feet) it feels like I have two left feet and I'm trying not to *whoa*(almost falls but holds onto winter's shoulders) fall.

Winter: (smiles) very well... Perhaps I can give a view pointers. First off, keep your eyes on me and stand tall. (As Roxas stands straight, winter Adjusted his hands and places Roxas's left hand on her hip) second your left Hand should be here and your right (grabs the right hand and interlocks it with her left) should be interlocking with my left hand upward. How do you feel Roxas?

Roxas: (looks around himself and sees he's balanced) hey... I'm balanced!

Winter: (nods) excellent now we move to step 3.

(While Roxas was trying to dance, Weiss was sitting on her throne waiting for winter to finish and she rejected every guy that asked her to dance as she only wanted to dance with Roxas)

Weiss's dad: (looks concerned) why aren't you dancing Weiss? (Looks at the situation) oh... I see you wish to dance with Roxas but... How come?

Weiss: (looks at her father) dad... Did you ever feel something when you met mom for the first time, like as if she was all you needed?

Weiss's dad: (smiles) of course Weiss, I loved your mother at first sight, her kindness, her smile and her loving heart won over me easily despite not being of rich descent. (Looks to a photo of him and Weiss mom who look like and older version of winter) we worked through our doubts and had a beautiful relationship and a wonderful family. (Turns to Weiss) is that how you feel for Roxas?

Weiss: (turns to see Roxas looking at her with a wide smile and she smiles back) y'know... I'm just hoping so. I feel safe and warm when I'm with Him sure someone like Neptune is easy to crush on and God was I blinded by that. But, Roxas... is something different. I feel he's the light i'm missing in my life and the key to thawing my cold heart but, whenever I see him with another girl... I lose it and turn to my "ice queen" state just to keep my emotions in check (looks down depressed) I just... don't want to lose him dad.

Weiss's dad: (looks to Roxas still trying to dancing) that sounds like me as well Weiss.

Weiss: (shocked) how so?

Weiss's dad: well... I was know as the "ice king" before for my cold military tactics but, when I met your mother... She became that flame to melt it and find the real me. Do you think Roxas can do that as well?

Weiss: (smiles) i believe in him dad.

Weiss's dad: well... All I can is be yourself and let your heart guide you my daughter.

Weiss: (looks at her father) yeah thanks dad.

(The music ends and the crowd starts clapping and Weiss's dad stands up)

Weiss's dad: (clears his throat) and now... The guest Roxas will choose his next dance partner and that will remain his choice for the rest of the night. (Looks at Roxas) the choice is yours young one.

Roxas: (smiles) my choice is obvious sir! I want to dance with Weiss Schnee for this night!

(Weiss blushes and smiles and she looks at her father)

Weiss's dad: (smiles) very well Roxas enjoy your evening.

(Weiss walks down from her throne and heads towards Roxas who is waiting at the bottom of the steps with is right arm outstretched)

Weiss: (smirks at Roxas) about time Roxas.

Roxas: (holds her hand) well... To be honest I thought I'd be a laughing stock of the party considering that I can't dance.

Weiss: (shakes her head as they began walking to the dance floor) I saw you dance with my sister just as a tutorial on it so... Consider your date as the test. let's see if you pass.

Roxas: (nods) yes ma'am.

Bgm: still I fly (Macy Kate and Austin Percario)

(The music begins and Roxas gets into the same position he was with winter as he moved gently to the beat of the music and not falling or stepping on Weiss's toes and both of them are swaying and turning as they were going deeper under the music's spell)

Weiss: (smiling) you're doing great so far.

Roxas: (raises an eyebrow smiling) you think so?

Weiss: (puts her head on Roxas's chest as they were still moving) I always knew you could because... Of your heart and your will to overcome the odds which is why I... (She starts to blush) admire you.

Roxas: (closes his eyes) well to be honest I... Wasn't always like this.

Weiss: really?

Roxas: (nods) yeah... its true because my strength to overcome the odds comes from the people I care about from Axle and Xion to my team.

Weiss: (looks at Roxas with curiosity) can you tell me what happened in your past that made this place seem difficult and what made you who you are today?

Roxas: why do you want to know?

Weiss: well... So far your pretty much a mystery to me and I'm worried about you. Ever since we came here I had a feeling something was up so... I gotta know to help.

Roxas: (sighs) ok... Everything started when I joined organization XIII which... only lasted 358 days.

Weiss: (shocked a bit) so this organization... You were a member of it and your membership lasted to not even a year?

Roxas: a lot happened at that time ok so... it just came to a point where it fell apart. (Looks at Weiss) as I saying... I was created when Sora turned into a heartless and... xemnas... the leader and founding member of organization XIII found me in twilight town and saw my potential as the keyblade's chosen one therefore solidified my spot as number XIII.

Weiss: (confused) was that really the reason?

Roxas: (shakes his head) nope as it turns out the keyblade can release the hearts of higher up heartless such as blade knights and any emblemed heartless rather than the pure blood. My purpose to them was just to release hearts to forge our own kingdom hearts to become whole again.

Weiss: (looks down) you were used for their purposes. (Puts his suspicions of atlas and this reason together and realized the truth) oh that's why you feel uncomfortable here just because of organization XIII!

Roxas: (nods) you got it Weiss I was thinking this place just another organization for just personal goals rather than the people. Anyway a couple of reasons made this change in my life to become who I am also took place. First was my partner in crime and best friend axel (chuckles softly) when it came to us sure we did our work but, we treated each other as brothers for life. And at the end of each day, we head to the twilight town station clock to talk and eat sea salt ice cream.

Weiss: (raises an eyebrow in confusion) sea-salt ice cream w-wait that's a thing?!

Roxas: (laughing) pretty hard to believe huh? But hey don't knock it till you try it!

Weiss: (still moving to the beat) ok then... What about reason 2?

Roxas: (pops up) oh! The second reason is xion (closes his eyes as he was tearing up). she was a great friend of mine and eventually, axel and I would make her the third person in our little group enjoying our long days of organization labor but... (Looks down) I realized soon enough that we had a bigger role to play in this game. I wish I knew better about this and better about reuniting with Sora. The day she died changed me and still lingering to this day.

Weiss: was she killed in action during a mission?

Roxas: (tearing up more) no... She died because of me.

Weiss: (looks confused) what do you mean?

Roxas: (tears stream down his face)...

Weiss: Roxas... (Shouts) ROXAS!

Roxas: (looks up at Weiss and screamed) I KILLED HER!

(The music stops because of the noise and Weiss backs away from Roxas never seeing this side of him before)

Weiss: (gets closer slowly) w-what?

Roxas: (choked up) I killed Xion. I regret it to this day but damn it I killed her just to protect my nothingness!

(The music goes back on and the couples start dancing again then Roxas just runs out the building and Weiss tries to go after him but couldn't see him so she stays outside to find him and she calls his name)

Weiss: (shouting) Roxas! Roxas where are you?! Please come out! I need you.

(No sound was heard until she feels a cold embrace her heart and she gets on her knees clutching her chest because Roxas was the flame she needed to even survive looking desperately to find him)

Roxas: (hearing the last part about needing him walks towards Weiss) why do you need me? I'm just a murderer... That only concerned about my own non-existence. You don't need that and you don't need me.

Weiss: (clutching her heart) I do need you. (Looks at Roxas) Because your someone who can bring change to this hopeless world! you Murdered your best friend but, you didn't let it define you as a person and you ultimately changed for the better. You have a strength that can change anyone or anything around you so why not use it to change not only yourself but, the people around you.

Roxas: (looks down) I'm not sure if I have what it takes.

Weiss: (stands up and grabs Roxas's hands) then make that strength like you did in the exam today. Roxas... Your friends have your back (looks down) I... Have your back. so don't even think about giving up! Not now and not ever!

Roxas: (smiles) your right Weiss... I can't just let my past consume me but, I need it to give me my drive it's what xion would've wanted so... (Summons oathkeeper) I'll do it to honor her and... To change this world for the better!

Weiss: (smiles and starts to tear up) that's the Roxas I need!

Roxas: (raises an eyebrow and smirks) needs me ms. Schnee?

Weiss: (turns away blushing) w-well don't let it go to your head you dolt!

Roxas: (hugs Weiss from behind) thanks Weiss I guess... There is a heart under all those slaps given.

Weiss: (turns red) w-whatever Roxas. (Starts to move) we better get moving back to the dance hall.

Roxas: (holds on tighter) I have a better idea... We could dance here. I have one gift I want to give you.

(Roxas points oathkeeper upward and shoots a beam up to the sky to reveal a beautiful starry night devoid of any clouds)

Weiss: (looks up and smiles widely) wow this is beautiful.

Roxas: (pulls out his phone and selects a song) and only for us so... What do you say?

Weiss: (rubs her eyes of tears and turns to grab Roxas's shoulders) yes I would be honored Roxas.

Bgm: kingdom hearts 2: sanctuary-after the battle.

(As the music played the two of them danced Weiss placed her head on Roxas's chest and Roxas smiled and looks at the sky to see a bright star shoot across the sky)

Roxas: (looks at the sky) thank you... Xion for this chance and I'll never forget this.

To be continued.


Hey guys it's me and sorry it took a while but, with college stuff going around its just tough y'know. So I'm not sure when the next chapter is coming but... Don't worry the next chapter is the end of the relationship development and it's only Sora and Ruby remaining and after that action is ready to cut loose!
