Me: (yawns) Hello people. Welcome to the next chapter of... what am I writing now?
Sora: Glass Bridge.
Me: Ah, yes, Glass Bridge. I have no idea what it's about, but I'm hoping you muses will fill me in.
Muses: (shrugs)
Me: o.o CRAP!
Riku: You see? You see? This is what you get for over-working yourself.
Me: But I must take advantage of Digi's absence to work until 1 a.m. in the morning!
Sora: You've already written three chapters today! AND it's 10:30 p.m.!
Me: This is the last one, I promise.
All: (glare)
Me: (ignore) Enjoy!
The Throne Room
Sora was curled up in a chair inside of the Throne Room, chest rising and falling in a slow pattern that meant, of course, he was sleeping... again.
He's got to stop doing that.
Anyway, while in the land of blissful dreams (which included setting Professor Stewarts's room on fire with him still in it), Sora didn't notice the two figures sneak by him, giggling softly as they glanced at his sleeping form.
He also didn't notice as one of them took a folded, square-shaped mat from underneath an arm and lay it out on the ground.
Or as one rolled in a TV brought to them by a servant and plug it into an outlet hidden near the bottom of the carpet.
He did notice, however, a loud blare of music that erupted from a tiny box underneath the screen.
:"GAH!" Sora shouted out, wings unfolding in surprise, which sent him sailing into the floor, face first.
He groaned as he heard twin evil laughs. Oh god, hadn't they come over enough as it was?
"Wakey wakey!" a brunette with red wings chirped, kicking him lightly with her foot. "We're bored! We wanna play!"
Sora shook his head, pulling himself to his knees, then to his feet. Glaring at the two 'angels' before him, he said, "I was taking a nap."
"We noticed!" the blond said happily. "But we brought DDR! And Wany!"
Sora blinked. He chose the weirder of the two words to question first. "What the hell is Wany?"
Cry's (for of course it was she), opened her mouth to reply but Fire (you know it was her) clamped a firm hand over her mouth. "Don't ask," she hissed at Sora in a pleading voice. "Please, whatever you do, DON'T ASK!"
Hand removing itself from her mouth, Cry's pouted. "Someone didn't get their daily supply of Wany today," she muttered.
That out of the way, Sora asked, "Okay, now what is DDR?"
Fire gasped, her eyes going wide. It looked as if she might faint from shock.
Rolling here yes, Cry's answered for her. "It's Fire's favorite game," she replied. "It's called Dance Dance Revolution. And since we were bored..." she smirked. "We decided to bring it here to play with you."
"Aren't I lucky?" he asked, sarcastic of course.
The sarcasm made a slight whistling noise as it flew right over Crys's head. "Yup, you sure are!" she agreed, nodding her head enthusiastically.
Fire had found her voice again. "You mean you've never PLAYED it before?" she exclaimed. When Sora shook his head no, she made a small, sympathetic tutting noise and patted him on the head. "You poor, poor, deprived future-king," she said sadly.
Sora ducked away from her hand, glaring. "Cut it out!" he said. "If you love that thing so much, then teach me how to play already."
Cheering up instantly, Fire returned to her normal perky self. "Alright then!" she said happily. "Just watch us and we'll teach you how to play!"
"I'll go first!" Cry's said happily. She hopped onto the square section of the mat and was now touching the arrows on the side with her feet.
Sora watched, confused, as she scrolled down and selected a song called "Holy Holiday." Sora had never heard of the song before, but Cry's beamed as she picked it.
(This song is from One Piece. It's called Holy Holiday, and is sung by Luffy (squeals))
Fascinated, Sora watched as the screen changed to one with grass and a sea in the background where a ship was barely visible. In the middle stood a teenager who looked to be about his age. He wore a bright red vest with nothing under it and a pair of blue jeans that were cut messily at the knees. On his head was a straw hat with a red ribbon tied around it.
A song started to play, a bit slow. Arrows flowed up from the bottom, lighting a bar at the top with different directions: Up, down, left and right. As the arrows hit the bar on top, the arrows lit up and that was when Cry's hit the mat in that space accordingly. Also, whenever she hit a step, the teenage, straw-hat copied, doing the exact same move and beamed when she hit a PERFECT!
Sora watched as the song picked up, the number of arrows becoming greater and scrolling at a faster pace. The machine called out "PERFECT!", "GOOD!", or "MISS!" or other things. He heard a few boos, but it wasn't that bad.
Finally the song came to a halt. Sora heard several people shout "LUFFY!" at the songs end and Cry's hit both the left and right button at the same time.
Cry's stepped back onto the middle of the mat, panting slightly but grinning. A sphere in the middle of the screen glowed C.
She shrugged. "Not bad," the blonde said, stepping off the mat. Turning to Sora, she grinned. "So? Think you got it now?"
Sora nodded. "I think so," he said, flashing his cheesy grin. "Can I try now?"
"Sure," Fire said setting it back to where it had the long list of songs. "How about an easy one to start out with?"
Sora shook his head. No way!" he said. "It can't be that hard!"
Fire smirked. "Fine," she said. "While I pick you out one, take off your shoes."
Sora raised an eyebrow. "Why do I have to take off my shoes?"
Cry's sighed. "Sora, I'm not sure if anyone has ever told you this," she said, "but your feet are huge. For the love of Wany, they're like mountains!"
"And I don't want you hurting my precious DDR," Fire cooed, petting the mat as if it were her first child.
Muttering something about OCD fan girl's obsessing over dance games and Wany, Sora knelt and pulled off his shoes.
By the time he was done, Fire was smirking. "This one is perfect for you," she told him. Selecting that song, she stepped off the mat and motioned for Sora to take her place.
Feeling slightly foolish, Sora looked up at the screen. He had caught a glimpse of the song. He just hoped it wasn't that fast.
(The song is "Won't Back Down" by Fuel)
The screen was dark, showing the view of a band atop a roof. There was no fancy figure on it, just a regular cartoon figure.
Sora decided instantly that he liked the song. Fire was right; the words did match him. It also had a nice rhythm. The arrows started out slow and, still feeling a bit foolish, Sora reached his foot out and tapped the specified area of the dance pad.
He soon realized he had to be quicker then that as he got more boos hesitating. SO he began to throw his whole body into his movements. He wasn't exactly as graceful as Cry's, but the cheers he got encouraged him. At least they weren't laughing yet.
Sora could hear more BOO!'s then when Cry's had gone up, but he was having fun. His adrenaline began to rush as the song quickened. The arrows were more often, zipping up the screen quickly. Sora did his best to hit them all, laughing when he had to step on o at the same time. For some reason, he found it funny.
And I'm sure you all do, too. Come on, admit it. You know you do.
Finally, the song came to an end. Sora was glad as he was starting to get out of breath. He watched the screen closely until it finally showed him his score. C. Hey, the same score as Cry's! Not bad, he thought, smirking as he stepped off of the dance mat.
Fire rolled her eyes. "You keep on smirking," she scoffed. "Wait until you see how a master does it."
Sora raised an eyebrow at Cry's. The blond just shrugged, smiling, and motioned for him to watch.
Fire had already selected her song and was shaking out her limbs. This would be interesting. He also saw her do something else. She had amped up the level. Sora and Cry's were at beginners. She had put hers WAY higher. Two from the highest possible.
(Real Emotion from FFX-2. I've never played the game, but I've seen it on a music video.)
The arrows blew quickly. Even the slow part of the song was very quick. Sora watched in awe as Fire threw her legs out to meet the steps, swinging her hips with grace and using rhythm, something he and Cry's hadn't even bothered with.
The arrows flew faster and as did her movements. The screen was a stage and a young woman was on it. Sora recognized her from a video game. Yuna, from FFX2. She was moving along with Fire's movements perfectly.
You would here a BOO! every now and ten, but not that often. She was grinning her head off, breath getting quicker as the speed picked up even more.
Then the song was over. She was panting, wiping her hair from here eyes and beaming. Her score rolled up on the screen until it reached B!
"Aw," Fire whined. "I wanted an A!"
"It's pretty much impossible to get an A," she pointed out to Sora, reminding Fire of the fact as well.
"Yeah, I guess" she sighed.
A door opened behind them. Heads turning, they saw Mickey Mouse enter the room.
He opened his mouth in greeting, but froze. His eyes had landed on the DDR game and the strangest look came over his face.
"King Mickey..?" Sora asked cautiously. "Are you okay?"
Mickey didn't answer him. He walked past the three confused teenagers. They watched in silence as he stepped onto the mat, going to the game level. He turned it up as high as it could go.
They sat there in awe as Mickey scrolled down through the list of songs, selecting a song near the bottom. Fire gasped.
"What is it?" Sora asked.
"That son..." she said. "Even I can't pass it! Even on beginners mode!"
But Mickey just stood there, waiting for the song to start.
"He can't be serious," Sora muttered.
And then the song started.
(Fire: Wish couldn't find a song so I picked one originally from DDR Extreme. Its "Z Zelda" I think.)
The arrows zoomed by so quickly Sora couldn't even figure out what they were. King Mickey's feet were a blur as he tapped each section of the pad. PERFECT!'s flashed across the screen constantly, never going to anything below.
"That's not right….." Fire murmured, shaking her head.
"That's not safe," Sora said, staring wide-eyed at how fast the King was moving.
Sora caught a brief glimpse of a row with three arrows on it. How could he do three arrows at once? Fast as lightning, King Mickey jumped and landed, feet tapping two keys while his hand got another behind him, back bending in an arch.
"That's awesome!" Cry's pointed out. Jumping from her seat, she pointed dramatically at King Mickey who was moving even faster yet. "MOUSE GOT MAD SKILLZ!11oneone"
The song paused for a brief second, in which King Mickey froze completely as the arrows had. Then they moved again, faster and faster. King Mickey matched every one with a PERFECT!
The song died down to its last few arrows, finally. King Mickey stamped on the last few, a three-at-a-time step which he nailed.
Everyone was speechless. Even Cry's went back to her flabbergasted state. The screen blinked until an "A!" showed on the screen. "You are awesome!" flashed across the bottom of the screen before it went back to the mode of play menu again.
Mickey Mouse stepped off of the dance mat silently, shaking his arms out. He swept past them and out of the doors, not saying a word to any of them.
And as the mouse King walked down the hallway, he heard an explosion of a mix of curses, laughter, clapping, and shouting.
King Mickey smirked. 'Oh yeah. Can't touch this.'
Done
Me: Oh yeah, mouse got mad skillage!
King Mickey: Can't touch this. (drives away in pimpin' car)
Fan Girls: (scream and chase after him in his pimpin' car)
Me: (beams) That was fun. The idea came from Fire. THANK YOU FIRE! It was a blast to write!
Fire: hehehe…anyone can face me at DDR anytime. I am the master:puts on pimp hat and winks:
Me: As you can see, unlike the other fics I updated today, this one has been beta'ed. By Fire. Digital went missing somewhere. I think she blocked me. So... yeah.
