XxXxX
"You ready Vanitas?" Xion asked the spiky black haired teen, sitting back on a chair, leaning as far as he could. They were still at the picnic and it was the middle of the day.
Vanitas looked at her with his yellow eyes. He kept on leaning back without even noticing. He leaned a bit too far and fell back in his chair. Xion heard the crash and saw Vanitas on the floor. She helped him up.
"I'm ready now," Vanitas said in a dry tone.
"Where are we going?" Xion asked him.
"Wanna get an ice cream 'cause I'm not much of a restaurant person and you're already dating someone." Vanitas answered.
"Sounds good," said Xion.
XxXxX
Meanwhile…
Riku was close by, overhearing what they have to say and looking at them. He was cleaning up a section on the picnic with Sora. Sora was looking Riku as he was eavesdropping and staring.
"Riku, you know they're just going out for fun, as friends. Nothing between them is going on except for the fact that they are just friends." Sora told him.
"Sora, since when did you sound this smart? Besides, you may be right but I dunno…" Riku pondered.
"Hey I have my moments. I don't even really like to sound too smart or else I won't be me." Sora said in defense.
"True enough. Hey I have an idea!" Riku told him.
"If it's to follow them sign me up!" Sora said as if he read his mind.
"Can you read mind Sora? If so, please don't read mine but I like how you think the same way I do…in a sense." Riku told.
"Fine, but let's hurry! The two are leaving!" Sora exclaimed.
"Let's move!" Riku said as he and his best friend followed the two black haired teens to their destination.
XxXxX
Vanitas and Xion walked to the Ice Cream parlor just down the street where the picnic was. The Ice Cream parlor they went to was Oberweis. When they were little kids, Vanitas and Xion would come here every Friday, along with Sora, Kairi, and their moms. They would all play and have fun while eating ice cream.
On the window of the parlor, Xion saw a flier and it said something about it being a Karaoke night Competition at Oberweis for teens. She then poked Vanitas and he looked at her. She then showed him the flier.
"What about Karaoke night?" Vanitas asked.
"It's tonight and I know how you sing Vanitas. You have been practically singing since you were in first grade!" Xion answered.
"Oh no, no way am I entering a Karaoke Competition at Oberweis. It'll ruin my image!" Vanitas told her.
"Winner gets a free gallon of ice…of choice." Xion said deviously.
"Hmmmm…is the ice cream really worth it to humiliate myself for….hmmm…NO!" Vanitas told her.
"I'll give you twenty bucks to do it!" Xion exclaimed.
"Make fifty bucks and you have a deal!" Vanitas said officially.
"Deal!" Xion said and then handed fifty bucks to Vanitas.
XxXxX
"What are they doing Riku?" Sora asked his best friend while texting someone.
Sora changed his clothes into a more gothic style as a disguise. He had his hair partially cover his face.
"Apparently Xi (Xion) just paid Vanitas fifty bucks to enter a Karaoke contest at Oberweis." Riku said.
Riku was wearing more of a normal after-school kid outfit. He had jeans and a normal T-shirt on.
"That whore!" Sora exclaimed.
"What? Sora you idiot, Xion isn't a whore!" Riku told Sora.
"What? OH! I mean I got fan mail from one of my fans. Apparently one of them asked me if I would want to go in bed with her for one-hundred bucks." Sora said.
"You probably didn't listen to what I said," Riku said.
"I did. You said, and I quote, 'Apparently Xi just paid Vanitas fifty bucks to enter a Karaoke contest at Oberweis," Sora said in quote.
"Let's just go inside with our face disguises okay." Riku said.
"I'm way ahead of you!" Sora exclaimed while holding the 'disguises'.
Riku looked at the disguises and then at Sora. He didn't seem as pleased about the disguises compared to Sora, who was smiling like an idiot.
"Sora, those are just those party masks with glasses, a fake nose, and a fake mustache." Riku said.
"What? Sorry these are something else. I meant these." Sora said as he held out a pair of fake glasses, a sophisticated hat, and a hair band.
"What about your face disguise Sora?" Riku asked.
"Mine is just my hair covering my face." Sora said goofily.
"Forget I even asked," said Riku as he took the disguise for himself.
Riku put his hair in a ponytail and put the hat over. Then he put on the glasses for extra effect.
"Let's move in." Riku said.
"Right!" Sora exclaimed.
The two best friends entered the parlor to see that it was full of teens. They took their seats in the back, away from the stage where the Karaoke took place.
XxXxX
"Alright Xion, which song should we choose?" Vanitas asked.
"Vanitas it's your choice 'cause you're the one singing." Xion told him.
"What!-? I thought we agreed that we-as in you and I would sing." Vanitas told her.
"We made a deal saying that you would sing it. I never said 'we' at all in our deal." Xion told him deviously.
"Great, just great, my best friend has just gone up a new level of cheating out of stuff. You win, I give." Vanitas told his best friend.
"Did I tell you that the majority of people that are here are actually from our school…," Xion said sheepishly.
"Damn…now that will seriously ruin my image. But oh well, a deal is a deal and I'm always fair when it comes to deals with you." Vanitas said.
"Good luck Van!" Xion encouraged.
Vanitas only smiled at her but it was more of those sly smiles. Vanitas then started thinking…, Wait…Xi just called me 'Van'. The last time I heard her say that was when we were in fourth grade…
Vanitas then started to focus on what song he would sing.
"What will it be kid?" The Karaoke DJ asked.
Vanitas pondered a few more seconds and then came up with a decision. She then smirked and said, "A Town Called Hypocrisy."
"Good choice kid." The DJ said.
XxXxX
"Up next, a newer kid whose first time is sing, give it up for Vanitas, singing A Town Called Hypocrisy by Lostprophets!" the DJ said.
Everyone in the crowd was whispering stuff to each other about the fact that Vanitas was going to sing something. They didn't know whether Vanitas sang either good or bad.
"Dammit…now my name is revealed…," Vanitas told himself as he got onto the stage.
Sora knew how Vanitas sang compared to Riku, who didn't even know how Vanitas sang. Riku covered his ears but then Sora looked at him.
"Riku, why are you covering your ears?" Sora asked him.
"Because your twin is going to sing," Riku said, still covering his ears.
"I don't get what the problem is? But oh well" Sora said, oblivious to the fact that Riku didn't know that Vanitas could sing.
Vanitas closed his eyes and took a deep breath and then started singing: (Note- be sure to read in between the verses to see what Vanitas is doing but you don't have to read the lyrics if you want to.)
Can you take this broken boy?
And put the pieces back as one?
Though he has all of his toys...
He is never having fun
As Vanitas did this, he pulled out a boy from the crowd randomly and pushed him back in after the first verse.
Because it's not enough
Now we're growing up
We're giving up
We're moving on
Because it's not enough
We were growing up
We're giving up
And I won't hear what you say so...
Vanitas started to gear up for the chorus line after this.
Save your sympathy
Who do you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead!
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
Save your sympathy (Town Called Hypocrisy)
Who do you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead!
Now you welcome me,
To a town called hypocrisy
Can you take this lonely girl?
i pick her up from off the ground
'cause theres no pride, to be found
When you follow sheep around
And no future here, no future
For us in this town
During this verse, Vanitas pulled a random girl out from the crowd and had her twirl and get off.
Because it's not enough Save your sympathy
Now we're growing up
We are giving up
We are moving on
Because its not enough
We were growing up
We are giving up
And I won't hear what you say so...
Who do you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead!
Now you welcome me,
To a town called hypocrisy
Save your sympathy
Who do you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead!
Now you welcome me,
To a town called hypocrisy
Vanitas was started singing his favorite part of the song.
La la la (lalalalalalalala la la) Save your sympathy Save your sympathy
Lalalalalalalala la la
Lalalalalalalala la la
Lalalalalalalala la la
Because it's not enough
Now we're growing up
(lalalalalalalala la la)
We are giving up
We are moving on
(lalalalalalalala la la)
Because its not enough
We were growing up
(lalalalalalalala la la)
We are giving up
And I won't hear what you say so...
Who do you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead!
Now you welcome me,
To a town called hypocrisy
Who do you think you're fooling?
Everything is dead!
Now you welcome me
To a town called hypocrisy
(interlude)
Vanitas then got off the stage and took his seat next to Xion. He then ate an ice cream he ordered not too long ago.
Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded by how Vanitas sang. They all clapped and cheered for him and Sora clapped along. Riku clapped slowly in awe, amazed that Vanitas was actually able to sing. Sora got out of his seat to congratulate his brother on his good singing but Riku pulled him down, re-assuring him that they were following them and not in the same group as them.
Vanitas was up against Yuna in the Karaoke competition. No one dared to steal her title as Karaoke champ.
Yuna was one of the most popular sophomores at Hollow High with her friends, Rikku and Paine. She was in Vanitas' gym class.
Yuna sang after Vanitas. She sang Real Emotion. The crowd loved it but they were for Vanitas. The announcer then came up and started to announce who the winner was…
"And the winner is…Vanitas! Great job and you win a free gallon of ice cream of your choice to take home!" The Announcer said.
Vanitas took Cookie Dough ice cream to take home. He thought it was time to take Xion home in his car that was parked where the picnic took place. As him and Xoin were about to leave, Vanitas heard someone call him.
"Hey! Vanitas, was it?" It was Yuna who called him.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Vanitas asked.
"I wanted to congratulate you on winning. The title of Karaoke Competitor belongs to you." Yuna told him.
"You can keep you're title. I was only in it 'cause I was forced by Xion." Vanitas told her.
"Really? So are Xion and you dating?" Yuna asked but it made the two black heads blush.
"NO! We're just best friends from childhood." Vanitas told Yuna quickly.
"You two would make a cute couple though. Anyway, I have to go. See you guys later!" Yuna said and after that, she left.
The two black heads both turned red from the last comment Yuna made. Then they left the parlor while Riku and Sora followed them.
XxXxX
Vanitas and Xion made it to the car. Vanitas drove but he knew that he didn't take Sora and his younger brothers and Namine. He knew Sora would hitch a ride with Riku and that Ven and Roxas would walk home with Namine.
Vanitas drove Xion home and they talked along the way.
"Hey Vanitas," said Xion.
"Yeah Xion?" Vanitas asked.
"Are you mad about forcing you to sing?" Xion asked back.
"Nah. I wouldn't have won this ice cream and fifty bucks," Vanitas said and laughed.
Xion laughed along. It felt just like the old times when they would do this kind of stuff when they were younger.
"We're here," Vanitas said blandly.
"I guess so." Xion said.
Xion walked out of the car and started to walk to her house. She then noticed something was wrong and realized what it was. She then ran back to the car and waited on the door.
"Something wrong Xion?" Vanitas asked, confused.
"You have to walk a girl to her door." Xion told him straightforward.
"Oops but last I checked I haven't done that for a girl but I'll try for the first time." Vanitas said and he got out of the car.
Vanitas walked Xion to the door of her home. Xion and Vanitas then looked at the sky and saw a shooting star. The two closed their eyes and wished for something. Then they opened them and then looked at each other.
"Thanks Van, I had a great time today, despite the fact that Selphie may still stalk you and that our plan to save you, failed." Xion told him.
"No problem Xi." Vanitas told her.
"Anyway, see in school."Xion said as she started to go into her home.
"Right, see you in school…Xion wait!" Vanitas said.
Xion stopped and looked at him. Vanitas, without thinking, kissed Xion on the lips but as he realized what he did, he then let go immediately and then ran to his car and drove off. Xion, a bit confused about what Vanitas did but then again, she thought about it for a while and smiled. She then went inside her home.
XxXxX
Vanitas got home in a couple of minutes and parked his car, got inside the home, put the ice cream in the freezer, and went to room to see Sora was in it, and then he dropped down on his bed, face down. Sora wondered what happened and then asked him.
"Van are you okay?" Sora asked his older twin.
"I think I blew it…"Vanitas muffled from his sheets.
"uh-oh what happened?" Sora asked.
"Xion and I had a good time but I think I messed up the whole purpose of it being a 'friends' day out," Vanitas said.
"Just tell me what you did." Sora came straightforward.
"I kissed my best friend and now I think our friendship is over and I did it by surprise without thinking and please someone wake me up from this damn dream right now!" Vanitas cried out and then stayed quiet.
"Aw it's okay Van. I did that to Kairi when she didn't even know that I liked her. And by the way, you're not in a dream." Sora told him.
"That's different Sora." Vanitas told his younger twin.
"Anyway, just try to get better about this." Sora told him.
"Sora…" Vanitas started.
"Yeah Van?" Sora asked.
"Why were you and Riku stalking us?" Vanitas asked with a sly smile, indicating that he was starting to feel better.
"Umm uh uhhhhhhh…Riku wanted to! He thought you and Xion would get closer and wanted to know and stuff." Sora exclaimed.
"THAT BASTERD! He probably saw me kiss Xion. Oh God, oh damn, oh man, this isn't good!" Vanitas yelled.
"Extreme measures?" Sora asked.
"You know it. And he'll pay for what he did to my Black Falcon!" Vanitas said deviously.
"Your car? Oh man this is gonna be ugly!" Sora said.
"You know it! Well, I'm going to sleep. It was a pretty long day…" Vanitas said.
"Night!" Sora said and then went to sleep in his bed.
Vanitas went to sleep with his black iPod. He put on the song Can't Stand It by Never Shout Never. He sort of felt good listening to it as he slept. Vanitas closed this chapter for today as he slept…
As for Sora, He thought in his brain about Vanitas actions…
Vanitas finally revealed his feeling for the one he loves in the most surprising way for himself and Xion…
XxXxX
Me: One of the longest chapters I wrote but it's because of lyrics that took up a couple of pages…I don't like proofreading it though so please don't mind my mistakes…wow…Sora you sound too smart lol…not that you're dumb I mean
Sora: LOL no problem. I totally loved the chapter! :D
Vanitas: For once, I will agree with Sora
Riku: It was alright
Xion: It was unexpected for me.
Me: Anyway, hope you guys liked/loved this chapter :) I feel proud of myself XD that filler chapter was just a staller cause I needed to make this chapter. Yes, I made a fib about working on the chapter but the truth was that I didn't start until today and finished it at least 5 hours later XDX sorry for making you wait but school is a strain. I felt a bit guilty enough to do this I guess –rant over-
Sora: It's alright! :3
Vanitas: yeah, we know school isn't that fun
Xion: Especially High School
Riku: and that you do have deadlines for homework
Me: Thanks for trying to make me feel better guys :,3
Sora, Van, Xi, and Riku: No problem :D
Me: :,3
Vanitas: So comment/fave but most of all, enjoy the story as our Author will try to recover from the fact that she got r-e-p-o-r-t-e-d. Kay? Bye and see ya next time!
