*~*Paint The Light*~*
LSS: Alright! I thought I'd let you readers know that I will answer questions about this story if they come in reviews during the author notes! To terrasnort, I don't really have a vendetta against Roxas-
Roxas: *snorts* yeah right.
LSS: *glares at Roxas out of corner of eye but continues*- I have more of a rivalry with him. It's just sometimes he seems almost as bad as Vanitas and so I do my own unique form of punishment. Now, to terranort (are you the same person as terrasnort or something?), I'm not sure with characters for BBS couplings. For starters, if I make it Venqua Terra would kill if I made it Terqua, I think Ven might kill me for what you said about me being so mean to the boys... I guess it's from past experiences.
KH Boys: What's THAT supposed to mean?
LSS: Well, for some reason, I'm always teased by the boys and one shoved me into a wall at a McDonalds on our graduation day just because I hid his water bottle. And that's only primary school. -_-"
KH Boys: ... Oh.
LSS: Ok. Could Naminé and Roxas do the disclaimer?
Roxas & Naminé: Sure! LSS does not own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy. If she did, then do you think she'd really be writing this story?
LSS: Actually I would. ⌐_⌐" But on with the story!
Chapter Eleven: A Fun Day With Friends
Everyone had finally reached the skate park, where they bought hotdogs from a vendor and sat down under a tall oak tree in the shade, eating and chatting. Ven and Terra had decided to sit out in the sun so their hair would dry up faster, along with Sora who hadn't bothered drying his face after washing off Vanitas' graffiti. However, the boys decided to see who could eat their hotdog the fastest, making Sora choke slightly on his from eating TOO fast and Riku having to hit him on the back so hard that Sora fall forward and spit out a piece of his hotdog. But they were sitting at the top of a mini hill, so Sora went tumbling down the hill, making everyone laugh as Kairi chased after him.
Once they had finished their hot dogs, and Ven and Roxas had decided to call it a draw after both finished their hotdogs at the same time, they walked up to a little shop near the skate park area to hire their gear.
Aqua had decided to grab a pair of silver and blue rollerblades along with a blue helmet that almost blended in with her hair, while Kairi had grabbed some pale purple and white rollerblades with a lavender helmet and Xion and Naminé were still wearing their gear. Sora had grabbed a black skateboard with white markings all over it (Sora: My KH2 skateboard :D), along with a black and neon blue helmet, while Riku had grabbed a black skateboard with white swirls all over it with a white and black helmet, Terra had grabbed an amber skate board with gold and orange stars on it, along with a gold and orange coloured helmet, while Roxas stuck with his white skateboard that seemed to have mini wings pop out on the sides and black symbols around it, forming what almost looked like a winged skeleton (Roxas: My skateboard from KH2.), and finally, Ven keeping his green and blue skateboard, where the green parts seems to fan out at the end and had a picture of a yellow prism at the front of the board (Ven: She means my glider from the BBS ride racers at Disney Town, only in regular skateboard size and with wheels at the bottom.).
Once everyone was happy with their rentals, they paid for them and headed back out of the shop to the skate park. The skate park had two sections, one for tricks and another for races. It was designed for skateboards, bikes, scooters and even roller skates and rollerblades. They decided to head to the trick section first, since the boys wanted to have a contest with who can do the best tricks. Naturally, they decided that youngest should go first, which turned out to be Roxas.
"Still can't believe he beat me by three minutes." Roxas muttered to himself under his breath, when they had decided youngest goes first. "But at least I get to go first." He sighed, as he walked up to the top of one area, before skating down and around. At one point, he skid down a railing set up and jumped up, making his skateboard spin twice, before landing back on it perfectly and leaping over a set of stairs with his skateboard, before he skated back to the others, skidded to a stop and kicked up his skateboard. "How was that?" He asked, not even panting or anything, making the girls realise he'd done it before, as they shared looks.
"It was really cool." They chorused, smiling, as Roxas grinned in response, before plopping down with his skateboard in his lap.
"Your turn, Sora." He grinned to his brother, who nodded and dashed over to the same starting point as Roxas. Sora started off, although his tricks were a bit more simple. He simply skated around the whole trick area, going down railings and nearly going to the top of ramps, before coming back down again. Sora finally finished his simple round, before skating back to the girls and kicking up his board like Roxas. "How was that?" He asked, as he sat down next to Roxas, as the girls all looked at each other, having a mental talk, before turning back to Sora. "It was nice, but Roxas' seemed to be more impressive." Aqua, Xion and Naminé said, since Kairi didn't want to hurt his feelings, while Sora only sighed in response. "Aww! Oh well, looks like Roxas is winning." The brunette sighed, as Roxas only grinned with enthusiasm, before Ven grabbed his skateboard and walked up to the same ramp.
"Oh no, now we're all gonna lose." The boys mock sighed, as Ven grinned and the girls laughed, before Aqua turned to the girls and explained. "Ven's been skateboarding since he was six, and he's even won prizes in contests." Aqua smiled, as the girls' eyes widened in surprise. Just as the girls were about to ask for more, Ven set off.
He basically skated down the ramp, leaping up off his skateboard letting it spin four times, before landing perfectly and skating up a higher ramp, where he basically flipped in the air with his skateboard twice, before spinning in a landing with his board and skating on a railing and over some stairs. He finally skated back to the others, before spinning twice and kicking up his skateboard.
"How'd I go?" Ven seemed to be bouncing around enthusiastically, waiting for his results, as the other boys sighed and rested their faces in their hands, knowing the competition was over.
"That was awesome!" All the girls chorused, as Ven cheered, knowing for sure he had won the competition.
"Well, looks like Ven's definitely the winner. But in that case, I think I'll race Riku." Terra said, as Riku nodded in agreement.
"Ok, then let's head over to the race area!" Ven cheered, before setting off to the race area on his skateboard, the others close behind him. Unfortunately on the way, Naminé ran into a little problem...
"Ah!" Naminé cried, as she accidently bumped into a guy on the way. "I'm so sorry!" Naminé cried, quickly pushing herself up, before being shoved down again by the guy.
"Watch where you're going! You just ruined my shirt!" cried the guy, as the others skated back over to Naminé.
"Hey, are you ok Na-oh. Hi Seifer." Roxas grunted, as he helped up Naminé while glaring at the boy.
"Roxas. You're hanging out with your wimps again?" the boy snickered as the other boys glared at Seifer with Roxas.
"These are my friends, not wimps. Now back off." Roxas growled, as he gently pushed Naminé behind him. Seifer snorted.
"Your little girlfriend crashed into me." He snickered as he turned to Naminé, who only hid behind Roxas more. Roxas clenched his fists.
"She's not my girlfriend, she's my friend. And she only bumped into you by accident. She even said sorry." He snarled, as Sora, Riku, Terra and Ven moved in front of the girls to glare at Seifer.
"Pfft. Sorry or not, she still has to pay for ruining my shirt." Seifer snickered back, as a red eyed girl and tall boy stood up next to him.
"She didn't ruin your shirt, it doesn't even have a mark." Roxas pointed out bluntly. "Fuu. Rai." Roxas nodded to the girl and boy, both nodding in response.
"Well she still touched my shirt. And she should know not to mess with the Disciplinary Committee." Seifer folded his arms, as Roxas rolled his eyes.
"You aren't even from around here, Seifer. You're pretty much new here. You only had that title back in Destiny Islands. And even then it wasn't really well known." Roxas said casually, as Seifer growled.
"You take that back, y'know?" the taller boy known as Rai said. "No one disrespects the Destiny Islands Disciplinary Committee."
"Well you aren't in Destiny Islands anymore. This is Twilight Town in case you haven't noticed. And we don't need a disciplinary committee." Sora grunted back, as Seifer turned to glare at him.
"Shut up, wimp." He growled at Sora, who only poked his tongue back out at him, making the girls giggle quietly. "You wanna fight, pip squeaks?" Seifer growled, as the Riku, Roxas, Sora, Terra and Ven turned to each other and sharing looks, before turning back to Seifer.
"Nah, we don't want to waste our time and energy." They all said in sync, before turning their backs on Seifer and his crew, and skating off with the girls, leaving behind a fuming Seifer.
Once they were a good distance away, the girls all turned to Roxas. "Who was that jerk? He seems like a copy of Vanitas." They all said at the same time, while Roxas sighed.
"That's Seifer, a guy from my old world, Destiny Islands. But why he's here is beyond me. He's the Vanitas of Destiny Islands and leader of the 'disciplinary committee'. He bosses around everyone to make things the way he likes, which gets on my nerves, along with Hayner's, Olette's and Pence's, my friends from Destiny Islands. But the main reason we have bad tension is because I beat him in our Struggle tournament two years in a row, before I left to come here." Roxas explained with a sigh, running a hand through his hair.
"Well we shouldn't let him ruin today. Today's a fun day for the nine of us!" Naminé cheered, as everyone else nodded in agreement.
"You know what? You're right Naminé! I won't let that annoying jerk with a stuck up attitude ruin today!" Roxas agreed enthusiastically.
"That's the spirit! So race you all to the race area!" Naminé cried, before jetting off to the area, with her laughing friends in tow behind her.
Naminé still came third, Ven coming in first and Roxas in second, but they all agreed to finally settle it after a few races. They decided to have the boys race first, since they thought the girls should rest up. Hearing this, the girls thought of this as the boys calling them weak, and each girl punched each boy in the arm playfully, before the boys laughed and skated over to the starting parts of the track.
The track surrounded a oval shaped area of grass, with starting and finishing positions painted on so every racer would race the same distance. Each of the boys lined up in separate lanes, while Aqua and Kairi sat at a mini watch tower at the starting line and Naminé and Xion sat at another small watch tower at the finishing line.
"Alright!" Aqua cried, as the boys set one foot on their skateboards and the other on the ground.
"Ready!" Kairi cried, as the boys crouched slightly.
"Set!" Aqua called out, as the boys leaned forward a bit, still slightly crouched.
"GO!" the bluenette and red haired girl yelled, as the boys took off. Ven and Roxas were both neck and neck, while Sora was in second with Riku close behind and Terra tailing behind Riku. Near the end when they were close to the finish line, Roxas and Ven turned to each other.
"I'M GONNA WIN!" they both shouted to the other, before setting off faster for the finish line, Naminé and Xion watching intently, before they crossed the line, Sora coming around just a little bit after with Riku a second behind him, and Terra casually riding his board, crossing the line last. Once they had crossed the line, Ven and Roxas both dashed up to Naminé and Xion.
"WHO WON?!" they both cried out loudly, making everyone else except Naminé and Xion laugh at their eagerness. Naminé and Xion both turned to each other, before turning back to the two anxious blondes. "Both of you." The girls answered simply, making everyone else except the blonde boys laugh, as the girls simply skated over to the start line, while the blonde boys were gaping at the result.
"A tie?" the blondes groaned, before turning to each other and shaking hands, before both leaped into the watch tower, while Riku and Sora had leapt into the other tower and Terra had seemed to disappear.
"Alright girls!" Sora and Riku cried, as the girls all smiled at each other from their lanes.
"On your marks!" Sora cried, as the girls leaned forward.
"Get set!" Riku called out, as the girls stayed in their positions.
"GO!" The boys cried out in sync, as the girls took off.
Naminé and Xion had taken the lead, since they had been rollerblading together for a longer time, while Kairi and Aqua hadn't done so much. Near the end, Naminé and Xion were neck and neck, before both turned to each other and smiled, taking off for the finishing line. When they crossed, the blonde boys turned to each other to make sure they'd seen the same thing, while Kairi came after neck and neck with Aqua.
"Did you see them draw as well..?" Ven asked Roxas, who nodded in response, before both boys turned to the girls.
"Hey! Naminé! Xion! You both-"the blonde boys started.
"Tied. We know." The girls simply smiled, while the boys stared at them confused.
"Huh? How did you know?" the boys asked in sync, confused, while the girls giggled.
"Because we aren't competitive like you two." The girls giggled, before everyone else except the blonde boys laughed.
"Hey! Everyone! Come over here!"Came a voice, which everyone turned to. Terra was on his skateboard riding to them, carrying a blue box that seemed to have some writing on it, but since Terra was quite a bit away, none of them could read it. Everyone simply skated over to the dark brunette with the blue box, which was quickly opened.
"While you were all racing, I thought you all would like a snack." He smirked, taking out wrapped sea-salt ice-cream sticks and handing them to everyone, making them cheer as they took the cool treats.
Ven quickly told Terra of the result of the girls' race, while they were all eating ice-cream, and once again, Sora and Kairi stole bites from each other's ice-creams making everyone laugh. Just then, Naminé noticed the time from the clock tower.
"Hey guys! Let's go to the clock tower! If we get there fast enough, we can watch the sunset!" Naminé cried, as everyone nodded in agreement and setting off, after Terra, Riku, Sora, Aqua and Kairi had returned the gear they rented of course.
Naminé, Xion and Roxas excitedly dashed for the clock tower, while everyone else chased after them. On the way, they bought some chicken, chips and soft drink from a fast food shop so they'd have something to eat. Once they arrived, Naminé and Xion quickly switched their rollerblades for the sandals and sneakers they packed, before dashing up the stairs for the clock tower to catch up to the others, since they had taken a while to substitute the rollerblades for footwear more suited for stairs. Once they reached the top, they found the others waiting for them, before they plopped down and took out the still warm chicken, along with the others, and started eating.
Naminé was right, they had just made it in time to see the start of the sunset all the way to the end, whilst eating chicken and chips and chatting, finishing off the food right as the sun set. However, the light from the sunset lingered, leaving enough light for them to clean up, plop the rubbish in a bin and walk home. Since everyone lived in the same direction, they all walked (with the exception of Naminé, Xion, Ven & Roxas) back to their homes, splitting up one by one until it was only Naminé, Kairi, Xion, Roxas, Riku and Sora left. They chatted around here and there, before something else popped up.
A filthy man wearing a black beanie with eye holes cut in popped out of a bush, wearing ragged clothing.
"RAWR! GIMME YOUR MONEY NOW OR ELSE!" the man cried, waving around a crowbar, as the girls screamed in surprise and the boys moved in front of them.
"No." The boys said sternly, standing in front of the girls, as they glared at the man.
"RAWR! THEN YOU SHALL GIVE IT TO ME THE HARD WAY!" The man bellowed, before running up to them waving his crowbar madly. The boys all shared quick looks, before each grabbed a girl and sidestepped out of the man's way, making him tumble down onto the ground. He then spun around, grabbing the girls' wrists, making the boys growl and get into fighting stances, while the girls struggled. But just as the boys were about to pounce...
"JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" cried the girls, making the man stare at them for a while, before bursting out laughing. The boys sweatdropped, while the girls seemed to become angrier.
"BWAHAHA! YOU?! YOU PUNY WITTLE GIRLS?! YEAH RIGHT! FAT CH-OMF!" the guy moaned, as he was simultaneously kicked right between the legs by three furious girls, although suffering worse from Naminé and Xion since they were wearing rollerblades-hard tipped rollerblades.
"The nerve of that guy!" the girls growled together, as they stepped back letting the moaning man fall to his knees and curl into a ball, while the boys simply gaped at the girls.
'Note to self: Do NOT piss off the girls.' The boys thought, as they regained composure. "Wow... Just... Wow." The boys muttered, as they watched the girls take deep breaths and clench their fists as they calmed down.
"Let's just get home before we have to deal with another jerk like that." The girls mumbled, as they continued in the direction of Kairi and Naminé's home, before the boys soon chased after the girls.
They finally made it to Kairi and Naminé's home with no more incidents, before the girls smiled and hugged the boys as a thank you, making the boys blush, before the boys quickly said sorry for not protecting them. The girls laughed at this and told the boys not to worry, before smiling at them once again and going into the home. The boys shared looks, before standing outside the mansion for another minute to make sure the girls got inside safely, and heading back to their homes.
~Back With The Ragged Man...~
The ragged man groaned, uncurling himself and taking off the beanie, now clearly showing golden gleaming eyes and a bush of spiky black hair.
"Damn those girls... Can't take a joke." Muttered Vanitas, as he stood up and stretched slightly, before taking his red and black skull and cross bones patterned skate board out of the bush. He quickly hopped on and skated down a few alley ways as a short cut, before quickly arriving at the house he was staying at with Sora. He groaned slightly, still feeling the pain from the kicks, and hobbled inside, quickly getting to his room and plopping on the bed, right as Sora came in. He quickly hid the black beanie and ragged clothes under his mattress, before changing into a red t-shirt and black p-j pants, and throwing himself on the bed, where he just lay down.
~With The Boys...~
The boys were on their way to their homes, which were actually next door to each other.
"Hey, Sora, when you get home, can you check if Vanitas is still there?" Roxas turned to the brunette, who gave him a confused look but nodded all the same.
"Sure, but why?" the spiky brunette asked, casually folding his arms behind his head.
"Nothing, it's just, I got the same feeling I get from around Vanitas, awkward, when we were around that weird guy who attacked us." Roxas said, pushing his hands into his pockets, while Riku turned to the blonde.
"Really? I got the same." Riku said, folding his arms, while the other two boys turned to him.
"Seriously?" They asked at the same time, before they stopped in front of Sora's house.
"Oh well. I'll check like you said, Roxas. Although I have a feeling you're right." Sora frowned, before shrugging and unlocking his front door, before walking inside and shutting the door. The platinum head and blonde simply waved good bye to the brunette, before they both went to the house next door and walked inside, shutting the door also.
Sora quickly peeped into Vanitas' room, only to find the boy asleep, before the brunette frowned and shrugged, heading to his room and plopping onto his bed asleep, not even bothering to get changed.
Riku simply plopped onto his bed like Sora, not bothering to get changed and just lay on the bed.
Roxas had arrived at his room, but unlike Sora or Riku, he decided to change into a white t-shirt with blue sleeves and black p-j shorts (KH Cast: Why did you say Roxas got changed but Sora and Riku didn't? LSS: 'Cause I didn't know what Sora and Riku wore when they go to sleep, since the game never showed that.) He plopped onto his bed, but just lay there.
~With The Girls...~
The girls had just gotten changed, Naminé wearing a white tank top with white sweat-pants, while Kairi wore a pink and white t-shirt with a pair of pink p-j shorts, and Xion wearing a black sleeveless hoodie and black p-j shorts. But they decided to have a midnight snack, since Kairi's parents were out of town for a while.
"Hey, is it just me or did that weird guy seem familiar." Naminé asked, as she sipped some warm milk.
"Yeah, now that you mention it, it felt like we met him before." Kairi answered, as she dipped a biscuit in her warm milk.
"Hmm... Just can't put a finger on who he might be." Xion thought aloud, as she munched on her biscuit.
The girls tried guessing who it was a bit more, before giving up and heading to the living room, since there were about nine couches there and the girls wanted to sleep in the same room after the attack. They'd already grabbed blankets and pillows, and soon hit the couches fast asleep.
~Aqua, Ven & Terra...~
"That's odd, I feel like something happened." Aqua thought aloud, as she took some milk from the fridge and poured it into a cup, making sure not to spill any on her clothes, which she hadn't changed out of.
"Really? Huh, I'll ask Sora and the others tomorrow." Ven shrugged, as he munched on his biscuit, ignoring the fact he got crumbs on the clothes that he hadn't changed out of.
"It's probably nothing." Terra said, as he leaned back in his chair, while he hadn't bothered to change out of the clothes he'd worn earlier that day. Aqua rolled her eyes.
"Well you two should show some manners at the table." Aqua muttered, as she drunk her milk. The boys stared at each other for a bit, before turning back to Aqua and shrugging.
"Nah, we're fine. Eraqus isn't here right now." They replied in unison, as they both yawned slightly.
"Well I'm heading to bed. G'night guys." Aqua yawned, as she placed her glass in the sink and walked back to her room.
"Night Aqua." The boys chorused, as they walked past her room and into their own, although not before they placed buckets of water in front of Aqua's closed door. They were sure this would work as payback for what she did to them that morning, and they placed a hidden camera right above the buckets, so they could catch her reaction.
Roxas: *is sitting on couch with arms folded and annoyed expression on face*
LSS: ⌐_⌐" Don't tell me you're STILL pissed about how I changed it so that you were originally from Destiny Islands.
Roxas: No, no I'm not. *says sarcastically*
