Chapter 11: The Dance
.:Kairi's PoV:.
She threw around her clothes in the closet, all of them.
I have to find something! This is Tidus we're talking!
She picked up a black dress, threw in on her bed and sigh frusteratedly.
There isn't anything...
She picked up some random things and threw them on the bed.
Aggravated, she decided just to brush her teeth for 10 minutes.
3 hours to go.
She paced, wondering what to wear.
Deoderant, for one thing.
She quickly obeyed and put her Spring Splash Deoderant on. She glanced around the room once more. Her eyes skimmed over her bed.
Wait a minute... that didn't look half bad.
She picked up the see-though-like sparkling purple fabric and placed it over the long black dress. A nice coat like thingy it made.she decided she would wear that with her black flat-heel sandals. She quickly grabbed her brush and combed through her hair, sprayed it with the stickable stuffs, then brushed it some more.
She washed her face over and over, until it looked as red as a rose, not clean. She put on lotion. She decided to call her friends.
Bloooop...bloooop...Click!
"Hello?" It was Selphie.
"Hey Selph! How ya doin!"
"Good." She sighed.
"You don't sound good."
"Oh, it's just that...I...uh..can't find anything to wear! Hehe..."
"Well, I got to go, bye!"
She hung up and layed on her bed, and drifted off to sleep...
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
It's was 6:47.
2 hours and 47 minutes had passed.
Oh my DOG!
THE PARTY!
She quickly changed and brushe her teeth again, put on her shoes and more deoderant, sat patiently waiting for Tidus to arrive.
6:54... 6:56...
For such a gentleman, he was running late...
6:57...6:58...
Where was he?
DINGDONG!
She ran, drew herself together, and opened the door.
"Hi Tidus!"
"Hi." He was blocking her view. "You ready?"
"Yes," she responded curiously.
He stepped aside to reveal a limousine.
"Oh Tidus!"
They stepped into the dance and marveled at the orange and black decorations. The DJ wasn't on stage though. There were mikes, but no one up there.
She spotted her friends and told Tidus she would be right back.
"Hi guys!"
"So, you came with Tidus? I came with Wakka." Selphie said.
Kairi gasped. "Whoa."
Yuffie called out, "I'm with Squall!"
"That's Leon!"
"Alright, Leon Leonhart!" And with that she drifted off to find him.
"She seems to like him a lot."
"I'm with...with..." Rikku couldn't even bring herself to say. Kairi wondered until she saw some silver head and aqua eyes come up. Riku asked Rikku if she was done talking, then drifted off.
.:Sora's PoV:.
Only an hour more of this torture.
He was sitting next to Rinoa, who was babbling off again.
"And so I'm all, no way, she's all yeah, so we go and we see those two people from the band and we go OMG! and we try to chase them but they found that they weren't worthy to be with us, so they ran off, and so then we just hi-jacked their car, but we gave it back, and then..."
Sora would swear that if there was an award for the longest run on sentence maker upper, Rinoa would win hands down.
He glanced at the clock. 57 minutes more. He watched the girl dance.
Don't! Remember what you came here to do!
But I...
He swallowed and forced himself to stay with the task at hand. He blinked a few times and found him staring at her again. Her joyus eyes, her laughing face, her...DATE.
He growled loudly and was brought out of his trance by Rinoa saying,
"Yeah, that sounds just like him! He was all, GRRRRRRRRR and so I chopped his meat for him, and then..."
Sora had stopped paying attention again.
.:Kairi's PoV:.
20 minutes til midnight, she mused. She looked around the dancefloor and noticed some boys looked suspicious.
Don't be paranoid! Suspicious of what?
15 minutes...
"Will you be my girlfriend?" Tidus asked suddenly.
Caught off guard, she said, "Yes, of course."
The next minutes were like an eternity of happiness. She was amazed how she had never elt this way before. Her feet were no long on the ground, and only the steady gaze from Tidus's eyes kept her hooked to the earth.
.:Sora's PoV:.
5 minutes...
He asked Rinoa to dance.
4 minutes...
She said yes and started dancing with him.
3 minutes...
He forgot about the girl and thought only of revenge.
2 minutes...
Rinoa shut up... a miracle.
1 minute.
Sora's hands sweated. Would anyone flake? What if he was the only one who did it? How many others would too? Were they thinking what he was thinking?
45 seconds.
A lump formed in his throat. It was painfull to swallow.
30 seconds.
He gasped for air, then tried not to look suspicious.
15 seconds.
Butterflies. Dizziness. All of the symptoms of Nervousness swept over him.
5...
4...

.:Kairi's PoV:.
She was brought down to earth. 5 seconds till midnight.
She gazed only at those lovely eyes.
3...
2...
1...
All around her chaos broke out. All the boys had been quiet, and now they were erupting with noise. Soon there were also wails and tears, sadness and grief. Confusion clouded Kairi's mind like a thick blanketing fog.
And suddenly she knew. Suddenly she understood. All because of those words he said, in such a short time.
"I hate you."
Her whole world tumbled and crumbled, but he wasn't finished.
"I never want to see your horrid ugly face again. You are a stuck up snob who only cares for yourself. I am not going out with you anymore. Consider yourself dumped. Leave me alone, never bother me with the curse of seeing your ugly face again. I hate you."
She was brought to the earth with a crash. Her heart had been split with a dagger. Never had she felt such deep and utter terrible sadness. She was falling into an endless void of sorrow and misery, pain and grief.
Forever.
Sora was up on stage.
"I have said it before and I will say it again. I always get my revenge."
.:Sora PoV:.
His heart was beating.
"I have said it before and I will say it again. I always get my revenge."
He laughed and laughed, enjoying those peoples pain. But then he saw her face.
Hers.
He had never seen such misery and pain and grief on one face ever like that, and he would never forget it. But what was worse was her eyes. The no longer contained that happy, warm glow that they always had, even when she was down in the dumps. They were filld with agony. Pain. Misery. Defeat. Anguish. Sorrow. Sadness. Fear. Grief. Misery. All swirled into those tiny eyes of hers. And soon, he saw realization emerge between those feelings. And sure enough, there goes those feelings, replaced with more. Hatred, Anger, Revengefulness. The heat could match that of her flaming red hair. But it lasted only a second and she fell back into a sulk.
.:Kairi's PoV:.
It was him.
That jerk.
Him. All this pain.
Him.
It was all she could think.
Him.
Then she had one thought.
Revenge. But that was what this was about. She couldn't do that again, expecially not to the other girls.
The girls. Suffering because of her. She had to put them out of their misery.
Somehow.
She stepped onstage. She drew in a breath and sang.
.:All PoV:.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Let's talk this over,
it's not like we're dead,
Was it something I did,
Was it something you said,"
Yuffie came up, with a cd and played the music to the song, then joined in. Rikku and Selphie came up and sang and danced too.
"Don't me leave hanging,
In a city so dead,
Held up so high on such a breakable thread."
All of the pain and sadness they felt went into that song. More and more girls started singing, untel they were all. They turned to face the boys and some sang, some yelled, some shrieked, but whatever you call it, the boys got what was coming to them. And the girls would never ever let them forget it.
"You were everything, everything that I wanted,
We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it,
And all of our memories so close to me just fade away.
All this time you were pretendin, so much for my Happy Ending.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
You've got your dumb friends, I know what they say,
They tell you I'm difficult,
But so are they,
But they don't know me,
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me,
all the stuff that you do,
You were all the things I thought I knew,
and I thought we could be,
You were everything, everything, that I wanted,
we were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it and all of our memories so close to me just fade away all this time you were pretendin, so much for my Happy Ending,
It's nice to know that you were there,
Thanks for actin like you cared,
making me feel like I was the only one.
It's nice to know we had it all,
thanks for watchin as I fall,
lettin me know we were through...
He was everything, everthing that I wanted..."
Wooh. Intense. Wait for the next chappy, bye!
