Chapter 14: The Awards and A Renewed Friendship
Yuna's POV:
As Tidus and I walked off the stage we heard applause fill the room.
"Thank you. Please give a big round of applause for all the singers we have heard tonight and while our judges tally their scores." The applause got louder. "The awards will be as follows. Best all around soloist, Best all around Duet, Honorable Mention Best Soloist, Honorable Mention Best Duet, Best Voice Control, and the winner of the schools."
I was listening to the types of awards as someone came up behind me and pulled me aside. I looked to see Tidus standing in front of me. My heart skipped a beat as he pulled me closer to him and leaned down. His lips pressed against mine in a deep kiss. As he pulled away I blushed madly.
"I'm in love with you too. I just didn't know you had the same feelings for me." he replied.
"Surprise." is all I could say.
"I do love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes." I replied as I hugged him. I've gotta tell Kairi!
Selphie's POV:
"I can't wait for the awards. I'm too nervous."
"Calm down." Riku laughed as he hugged me.
"I'm just so nervous."
"You don't have to be it's all over. Well almost."
"Oh great way to make me feel better Riku!" I teased.
"Selphie." I turned to see Kairi behind me.
"What?"
"Did you get that the solo was for you?" she asked.
"Yes I did." I replied.
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Okay then." she replied as she turned to walk away. I grabbed her arm.
"I forgive you."
She turned around and hugged me.
"There will be the same awards for both schools announced first and then we will announce the winner of the two schools. The Best All Around Soloist Award goes to…" Mr. Lantz took an envelope from the judges and opened it. "Selphie Tilmitt!"
I could've fainted. I got best all around soloist? I walked out nervously and received the award and walked back to my friends.
"Congratulations!" Arixia and Naminé squealed.
"I so did not expect that." I replied smiling.
"The judges have informed me that because this was a very tough decision there will be more awards than I mentioned before. One of which includes Second Best Soloist. This goes to…" He opens the envelope. "Kairi Hakira! Honorable Mention Best Soloist goes to… …Arixia Kisaragi! The Best Voice Control will be awarded to one male and one female. The Best Voice Control female goes to… … Yuna Sari! And the Best Voice Control male is Tidus Saxton. Most Original Song goes to… …Naminé Hakira!"
Naminé went up to receive her award and came back to us. The awards stopped and we looked up to see the judges talking to Mr. Lantz. Then one of the judges got up on stage and spoke.
"We also have an award for the Most Daring Song. We know that it takes guts to come up here and sing, but to sing a song as daring as these two is even more difficult. Normally it is only one that we give this to, but in this case there is a tie. For Most Daring Song… … … Roxas Fischer and Axel Kazuo!"
Mr. Lantz walked back on stage after they had received their awards.
"The Best All Around Duet goes to… … Riku Aiawa and Selphie Tilmitt!"
Riku and I walked up to the stage and received our award. I knew I was blushing madly. Riku was surprised too.
"Second Best Duet goes to… …Sora Fischer and Kairi Hakira! Honorable Mention Best Duet goes to Axel Kazuo and Arixia Kisaragi."
After that they announced South Destiny Isle's awards and finally it was time to announce the winner of the two schools. Both choirs were asked to take the stage. We all walked up there and held our breath hoping that our school would win. A judge walked up on stage and stood in front of the microphone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, first I would like you to give a round of applause for all the choir students here today. They have done a great job." Applause. "This was a very tough decision and after an agreement between me and the other judges we have come to the conclusion that the winner of the schools North or South Destiny Isle is…. …. … North Destiny Isle High School!"
We cheered as Mr. Lantz took the trophy. After that we were required to meet him in the band hall before we could leave. We all filed in and congratulated ourselves.
"I would like to thank all of you for going out there and doing your best. I hope you had a fun and I will see you guys tomorrow."
Everyone stood around for a little while. After saying bye to Riku, I started out the door and someone called out to me.
"Selphie!" I turned to see Kairi. "Does this mean we're friends again?"
"Are you still friends with Tifa and Vie?" I asked.
"No. I got a day of ISS for fighting with Tifa because I defended you." She replied. "I should've never become friends with them. That's not like me. I really have missed my best friend."
"Yeah. We're friends again. You wanna come over tomorrow after the blitzball game?" I asked.
"Sure." She smiled.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello and welcome to the Blitzball Game! Today's the day folks! The last game of the year! North Destiny Isle has been victorious all year long! Will they be able to beat our rivals of South Destiny Isle? Riku Aiawa, this year's blitzball captain says 'There's no way we're gonna let SDI take away our winning streak this time!' Every year SDI has beaten us but this time the team is determined to beat them. Star player, Sora Fischer, says 'With the team we have this year there's no way we can lose!' Great confidence guys! Now let's begin the game and see what happens! The cage has opened and our players entered. SDI has entered." DING "There's the bell as the game begins! S. Fischer gets the ball first and passes it to Kazuo who passes it to R. Fischer! He passes it to Aiawa and oooh Aiawa is tackled and loses the ball but Kazuo gets it back, passes it back to Aiawa and… Aiawa swims toward the goal… he scores! Aiawa scores the first point for NDI!! And the ball is off again Fischer scores another point! And there goes Kazuo with another! This game is already three to nothing! SDI has no chance!"
The cheerleaders cheered every time our school made a goal. And the dance team sat in the bleachers doing a victory routine. As time passed SDI started to catch up.
"… …Aiawa scores yet another point! Now R. Fischer has the ball and he's tackled! He lost the ball! Get it back fellas! You gotta get it back! No! SDI scores again tying the game 10 to 10." DING "And that's the half-time bell! The blitzball team is going to take a little break while we watch the dance team strut their stuff!"
We walked out toward the blitzball cage and did our dance routine. I looked up and smiled at Riku who was smiling back at me. We ended our dance routine and walked back up to the bleachers. I blew a kiss to Riku as I passed him. Our dance instructor glared at me.
"Okay… Great job girls! Now we're back in the game. The score is 10 to 10! Do you think SDI will take the victory from us?!" the announcer shouted.
"NO!!" Everyone screamed.
"And will NDI take the trophy today?!"
"YEAH!!!" everyone shouted.
"Let's see! The players are in the cage and the bell rang. Saxton scores immediately! Way to go Tidus! The ball is released again R. Fischer catches it… someone's coming up behind you!!… he dodges and passes the ball to S. Fischer who makes another goal! SDI gets the ball and swims toward the goal… NO! SDI scores two points. The game is tied again! SDI is really putting up a fight!"
Everyone watched the game intently as it went on. We all wanted NDI to win the last game of the year because every year for the past five years SDI has beaten us.
"… … …With five minutes left in the game SDI has called a time-out! The score is tied at 25 to 25. What are they planning now? NDI looks pretty tired. Don't give up now guys! We gotta win! The time-out is over! An SDI player passes the ball to another—Aiawa tackles him and passes it to S. Fischer. He swims toward the goal… someone tackles him and R. Fischer saves the ball who passes it to Kazuo who passes to Saxton. He swims further to the goal with two minutes left in the game! He drops the ball as he's tackled. Aiawa picks it up. He swims a little further and does his famous move. It going… going… going… and it sails through the goal with one second left!!" DING "NDI has won! We've done it! For the first time in five years we've done it! We beat SDI with a score of 26 to 25! Go team go! What a game! Time to watch as the cheerleaders and dance team combine their dances for one big victory dance!"
We all walked out there and started our routine. I happened to be placed by between Tifa and Vie. Great. Everything was fine until Tifa purposely put her foot back a little too far and tripped me. I fell face first into the ground. I quickly got back up and started dancing again as Vie tripped me from the other side and I land on my back this time. I jumped back up and tried to continue dancing. Just as our routine ended both Vie and Tifa tripped me causing me to land on my face again. Kairi, Arixia, Naminé, and Riku came running over.
"Oops." Tifa said innocently.
"Yeah! You're gonna say oops when I rearrange your face!" Arixia snapped.
"Is that a challenge?!" she jeered.
"Maybe it is!" Arixia replied as she got in Tifa's face.
"Don't! Arixia, stop! She's not worth it!" I yelled as I tried to pull her back.
"Don't think that we won't have our revenge on you yet girl!"
"You've been saying that all year and you still haven't succeeded. All your plans are ruined. I'd stop trying if I were you." Arixia replied.
I walked up to Tifa and whispered to her. "Stop trying to make me look bad. In truth you're only making yourself look worse. It's pretty pathetic." And I walked away. I kissed Riku bye and walked over to my mom's car with Naminé, Kairi, and Arixia for a sleepover at my house.
Author's Note: Yay! Kairi and Selphie are friends again! Hope you enjoyed this one 'cause the next chapter is prom. Don't forget to review though!
