Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Yin held still as Namine finished dusting shadow on her lids. When Namine finished, Yin opened her eyes. As usual, Namine did an amazing job.
"C'mon you guys hurry up! Olette is getting impatient!" Xion yelled, pounding on the bathroom door from outside. "Am not!" Olette shot back. Yin and Namine laughed. Everyone else had already had their makeup done and picked out their accessories. Yin was the last one.
Namine opened the door and Yin stepped out first. A wave of "ohs" and "ahs" came from the girls. "You look beautiful, Yin!" Kairi exclaimed. Yin smiled modestly. "Thanks, so do you Kairi. All of you do."
It was true. Tonight, everyone looked beyond gorgeous.
Namine wore a white, knee length spaghetti-strap dress with diamonds trimmed along the straps and bodice. She wore a golden heart locket that was a gift from Roxas and golden ballet flats to match.
Olette wore a sheer satin kelly green one-shoulder which had fringe trimmed along the neckline. Some thin, silver bangles hung around her skinny wrists and on her feet she wore flip-flops. Her usual straight hair was curled into beautiful, bouncy loose waves.
Aerith, being the elegant girl she was, chose a mid-thigh strapless white dress with a bubble skirt shaped like a tulip. The pink waistband was accented with two pink roses and the bodice was embroidered with pink and white lace. On her shoulders draped a loose, soft black sweater and on her feet she wore baby-pink pumps.
Xion chose an aqua-blue halter dress that reached mid-calf. She wore a thick wooden bangle on her right wrist, golden hoop earrings and black gladiator sandals. Her everyday sleek chin-length bob was in loose crimps for a more romantic look.
Kairi wore a strapless silver A-line dress that was laced all over with flowers. A pearl necklace hung around her neck and she wore black ballet flats on her feet.
Tifa had on a silky baby pink halter dress that stopped just above her knees. She wore her usual tear-drop earrings and silver T-strap sandals.
And last there was Yin. She wore a lavender spaghetti dress with an empire waist and a pleated skirt. On her neck was a necklace with a golden star-shaped pendant. She wore silver gladiator sandals on her feet and her wavy hair was completely straightened. She pinned a few locks behind her ear with a gem-covered bobby pin.
The beach was full of chaos. Game and food stands occupied most of the shoreline. Loud music blasted as people danced and ran about, enjoying the wild summer event. Riku, Roxas, Sora, Cloud, Hayner and Zack stood by a Paopu tree, waiting for their dates to arrive.
Aerith parked her SUV and everyone got out. People scattered about along the beach and the new Lady Gaga song, "Born this Way", was playing loudly from the DJ's radio. Yin smiled. She was so excited.
She turned around to hear a sigh from Tifa. Yin knew the whole Cloud thing was still bothering her. She leaned in and whispered, "Don't worry, you're going to have fun. I promise." Tifa only looked at her with slight confusion.
"There they are!" Namine pointed to the group of boys. "Hey guys! Over here!" She waved and the girls made their way over to them. Yin stood up straight, and confidently walked to the beat of "Born this Way".
I'm beautiful in my way
Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way
The boys looked up to see the seven girls walking toward them, but to Riku, Yin seemed to stand out the most. She looked even more beautiful than she did everyday. Her shiny hair, dewy skin and blue eyes seem to glow under the late afternoon sun.
"Wow…" Sora said bashfully rubbing his neck, gaping at Kairi. Even after nearly two years of dating, she still knew how to make him nervous. Zack and Roxas wolf-whistled at Aerith and Namine, casuing them to both blush and giggle. "Hey sexy turtle." Olette said, fist-bumping Hayner. Even though they both looked like models, they still saw each other as the same everyday best friends. Cloud only simply smiled at Xion while Xion jumped about like a kangaroo.
Yin brought her eyes to Riku's, suddenly feeling nervous of looking at him. When she looked up, she could see Riku staring at her. For some reason, he seemed somewhat nervous too? No, it was just her imagination. "Hey Yin." He spoke. "You look really pretty." Yin felt more confident from his compliment. "Thanks. So do you." She replied, causing them both to laugh.
She then turned to the rest of the group. "Hey, let's go to the stage and take a seat. Ven's band is going to play soon." Everyone nodded, then grabbed their dates by the hand and rushed toward the stage. Everyone took a seat at the largest round table, next to their dates. "Hey Yin. Thanks for coming tonight with me." Riku said. Yin turned to Riku. "No, really Riku, it's no big deal really."
Riku shook his head. "No, it is. It wouldn't have been as fun tonight if you didn't come." Yin tried to answer him, but she could only nod. She started to feel like the shy self she used to be, like how she felt when she first met him. Why was this happening? She tried to distract herself by checking on how Tifa was. Tifa was sitting across the table and unfortunately, right next to Cloud and Xion.
"And then I told Roxy that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez finally admitted they were dating, and he screamed, and I tell you, SCREAMED, like a little girl, literally. Then Namine slapped him and started ranting on how she was his girlfriend and like…" Xion blabbed on to Cloud, who was looking away with a rather annoyed look on his face, since he hated when people talked too much.
Even though Cloud wasn't listening, Yin could tell Tifa was. Despite Tifa was looking the opposite direction, the uncomfortable expression on her face showed she was paying attention to every word pouring out from Xion's mouth.
Ven, c'mon where are you? Yin wondered. Her question was answered by the DJ. "Ladies and gentlemen…" His voice boomed over the microphone. "…Please give a warm welcome to Destiny Island's favorite band, Blue Blaze!"
He gestured toward the stage as the curtains opened. Ven stood in the center and front, along with Terra and Aqua on each side. "Hey everyone." Ven said into the mike, and was answered by a bunch of girls screaming his name. Ven chuckled and continued, "This first song is one you might recognize. Terra, get up here and sing with me." More girls cheered as Terra walked up front with Ven as the music began.
(Ven) There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl
Even more girls screamed as they immediately knew the song. A lot of couples got up to dance. Riku looked over at Yin, knowing his cue. He opened his mouth to ask, but Yin cut him off. "Riku, you want to dance?" Riku nodded quickly. The two made their way near the front of the stage. Yin put her arms around Riku's neck and he put his hands on her waist. They started to dance, gazing intensely into each other's eyes as Terra began to sing (A/N: You can skip the song if you don't like JB):
(Terra) How many I told you's and start overs and shoulder's have you cried on before?
(Ven) How many promises, be honest girl, how many tear's you let hit the floor?
(Terra) How many bags you'd pack just to take him back, tell me that how many either or's
(Ven) But no more, if you let me inside of your world
(Both) There'll be one less lonely girl
(Ven) Oh oh, saw so many pretty faces before I saw you, now all I see is you. No no, don't need these other pretty faces like I need you, and when you're mine, in this world,
Chorus:
(Both) There's gonna be one less lonely girl
One less lonely girl 3x
(Terra) There's gonna be one less lonely girl
(Ven) I'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you're worth, if you let me inside your world, there's gonna be one less lonely girl
(Terra) Christmas wasn't merry, 14th of February, not one of them spent with you. How many dinner dates, set dinner plates and he didn't even touch his food.
(Ven) How many torn photographs are you taping back, you couldn't see an open door, but no more, if you let me inside of your world, there'll be one less lonely girl
(Terra) Oh oh, saw so many pretty faces before I saw you, now all I see is you. No no, don't need all these other pretty faces like I need you and when you're mine, in this world there's gonna be one less lonely girl
(Chorus)
(Ven) I can fix up your broken heart, give you a friendly start, I can make you believe, I just wanna let you know that you're free to fall, she's free to fall in love with me
(Terra) My hearts locked and nowhere that I got the key, I'll take her and leave the world with one less lonely girl
(Both) There's gonna be one less lonely girl 2x
(Chorus 2x)
When the two were done singing, everyone turned to the stage and applauded. Yin gave her cousin a thumbs-up and he winked at her. She then mouthed to him "Do our plan next". He nodded and mouthed back "Gotcha". Ven then turned back to the audience. "Thank you, thank you. Our next song is going to be sang by our lovely and talented friend, Aqua!"
He grabbed Aqua's hand and escorted her to the front of the stage.
To be continued…
Find out what me, Yin and Ven planned last chapter next :)
Yeah, I'm not a Justin Bieber fan at all, but I thought this song really describes Yin and Riku's relationship, how Yin was mistreated by Axel and how Riku would treat her better :) I don't own Justin Bieber, or Lady Gaga.
I'll also upload photos of the girl's dresses on my profile soon. Hope you can check them out.
And lastly, thank you, each and every one of you, so much for reading! Reviews are appreciated :))))))))))))))
