Me: I've been really busy lately so I'm just going to write this random short one shot to add to my Pop-up collection. I have a lot unfinished on my computer but I'll get them up soon enough

Subject: Stars Wars advertising

It seemed to Sora these days, that over the last two months things had started to change around his neighborhood. Changes that weren't exactly harmful like people breaking into other peoples houses and stealing there cash but changes that could drive a person insane.

Especially if your best friend actually LIKED these changes.

It first started out with the internet. Anakin Skywalker was appearing all over the movie section and the tiny advertisement that's mostly advertising shampoo and face wash for teens which you mostly ignore.

Then the sale papers started changing. News of new Star Wars action figures and clothing all the way down to under wear and shoelaces with small Yoda prints on the string.

Then came normal trip's to the shopping mall! And it had taken over their too! And before Sora knew it Yoda and C3PO were on his box of cheerios in the morning and Darth Vader was staring back at him on his Pepsi can. The commercials were over taking every break on his favorite T.V shows and everyone was talking about it at school.

But the worst, was Riku.

If anything could of drove Sora completely off the edge it was his friends obsession and constant talking of the stupid Sci-Fi flick. He had always looked up to his friend as a kind of, maturer model of a teenager but the image seemed to of morphed itself over the last 3 months.

But today was Thursday, and Sora dreaded the day ahead of him. It would have been enjoyable sense the reason he didn't have any school was because of teacher conferences. But sense it was May 16th he knew he was in for a wild Goose chase.

Slowly he turned over in bed and opened his lazy blue eyes to stare at his alarm clock. The bright red numbers blazed his vision make his heart jolt in his chest. It was 7:59.

"….uh-oh." he muttered burying his face into the softness of his pillow. Anytime now…

With a soft click, the clock hit 8:00 A.M and the brunette turned his head just enough to get a view of his cell phone on his nightstand beside him. Had he left it on or did he turn it off?

'Oh god, PLEASE LET IT BE OFF!'

But a small voice in the back of his mind reminded him he had forgotten to shut it off. With a loud groan he flopped around onto his back so his eyes stared directly at the Zelda poster above him on his ceiling. "5...4...3..."

It was like a bomb waiting to go off.

"2.……1"

RRRRRRRRRRIIINNNGGGGG!

But instead of his cell phone going off the main phone blared from the kitchen downstairs echoing all the way up to his room through his closed door. With a strangled cry the poor brunette fell out of his bed clad in nothing but a large black shirt and red boxers and taking all the covers with him.

As quick as he could he untangled himself from the sheets and rushed downstairs, wrenching the phone from the hook and placing it to his ear.

"H…hello?"

"Hey Sora! It's Riku."

Sora's mouth dropped open. "Riku why'd you call my home phone? Its only for emergency you moron!"

'Well...this is an emergency."

"Well who died then?" he asked hotly.

'Um…'Riku cleared his throat. 'No one, I just have a Big favor to ask you."

"Ask away…" Sora muttered bitterly dreading what was coming.

There was a long pause.

"Um…can you...come to the mid-night opening of Stars Wars Episode 3 with me?"

Silence enveloped through the phone line as Sora lowered his head against the wall and banged it silently yet painfully against the hard material. Only good part of this so far was that Yuffie owed him 5 dollars now.

"Sora?"

"Riku….." Sora spoke slowly messaging his forehead. " You know how I feel about Star Wars."

"Yeah… but you like it. You just said-"

'That I thought they were over exaggerating with the merchandise, yeah I know."

'Well then all that's finally going to pay off if you come see it!"

" Riku ever sense I went to 7-Eleven and bought a slurpy and a bag of M & M's which were both advertising Star Wars I realized nothings going to pay off."

"But it was just a slurpy and candy." Riku frowned.

"It was still bad though…"

"How could that be bad?"

"RIKU I WAS DRINKING OUT OF DARTH VADERS HEAD FOR GOD SAKE!"

The teen smirked over the phone having fun torturing his friend. " I would consider that an honor."

"ARRGH!" Sora gritted his teeth and hung up the phone so violently the plastic almost cracked.

"Moron…" he muttered. "Forget the movie, I'm going to the mall."

Riku hung up the phone silently after realizing his best friend had hung up on him. Ever sense Sora had turned 16 he'd been a bit short tempered about everything.

"Jeez, hope I wasn't like that." he muttered to himself. "But still, I need someone to go with."

And at that moment, as his aqua green eyes scanned the Anikan poster on his wall he got an idea. An EVIL idea. An evil idea part of a series of other evil ideas that I love giving Riku to torture Sora with so we can be entertained by his mindless suffering.

"Well, if he wont join the dark side then I guess he'll need a little…persuasion." he spoke aloud smirking evilly.

And within a matter of moments he grabbed all his needed supplies, made several phone calls, and headed off to the mall.

"The beautiful wide spread world of the mall!" Sora smiled as he strolled through the double doors and glanced around. He was dressed in a pair of worn out jeans and a clean white shirt with a jean jacket clinging limply to his thin yet muscular upper body. A blue baseball hat covered his head but his spiky hair was struggling to spring it off.

" oh...no…" Sora stopped as he noticed the increase of Star Wars merchandise and fans everywhere he could see. His left eye twitched in annoyance and he casually strolled on by past the over crowded stores. Only once did he stop when he noticed a poster hanging in the window of a small stores window with Padme' on the front. Sora secretly always thought she was kind of hot.

"Riku would have a field day if he found out.." he muttered to himself as he tore his eyes away.

Suddenly with a 'poing!', Sora's hat jumped off his head as his brunette spikes succeeded in overthrowing it with there strength. Sora growled in annoyance and turned to find the nearest bathroom to try and stick it back on. Sometimes he really hated his hair.

After 5 minutes he finally found one free of people and empty. Quickly he flattened his hair and stuck the cap on tightly and looking it over. Maybe he should where it backwards? Or…nah, it was good how it was.

'Whatever….Wait. When did I become so obsessed with how I look?' Sora thought. He remembered how he used to hate when Riku stopped at every mirror when he was his age and had to fix his hair or his clothes. Plus, he was always irritated whenever Sora asked him for a favor.

"At least I'm not like that." he told himself smugly. With a tip of his hat he turned to leave when a loud clang from the last stall made him jump.

"WHAH! Hey, who's there?' he called out angrily.

When he received no reply he glanced slightly to see if he was just imagining things when the lights gave a soft flicker and shut off completely leaving the brunette in darkness. With a shudder he began backing away toward the door but ran his side into the sink sharply.

"AH!"

Suddenly another clang met his ears and he stood silently clutching his throbbing side with his heart pounding in fear. All became still as footsteps made there way slowly from the other end of the bathroom and came to rest in front of the middle sink.

Slowly and steadily a loud, rasping breath echoed throughout the room sending shivers down Sora's spine. Silence fallowed then another made its way to Sora's ears and the process repeated itself till the teen thought he would die of a heart attack.

'Join the dark side Sora.' came a robotic, hallow voice.

His eyes widened in terror and his mouth dropped open twitching instantaneously. "D-Darth Vader?"

The sound of footsteps coming toward him became Sora's answer and he struggled to find the door running into the wall in the process. A loud humming sound echoed from behind him and the soft glow of a red light saber glowed against his skin. With a squeak he searched desperately for the handle, curling his fingers around it just in time. He raced at the door plowing into people at his desperate attempt to get away. He glanced quickly behind only to find the black figure hot on his trail making passerby's gasp in shock.

Suddenly he came to a halt as millions of what he knew as storm troopers surrounded him coming from the surrounding stores. He held up his hands shakily to surrender and shoppers stopped in there tracks to see what on earth was going on.

'Don't move a muscle!' A nearby trooper shouted pointing its gun in his face.

Sora gulped. 'I'm trying, BELIEVE me!"

Then he came. Darth Vader strolled into the middle of the circle breathing like he always did and sending even more shivers down Sora's spine. What would become of him? Was this Riku's doing? WHERE IN GODS NAME WAS RIKU? This was his area!

'So, you thought you could escape?" the villain asked.

Sora shook his head. "I j-just was trying to fix my hat." he spoke quickly. "I didn't do anything sir."

There was silence for a few minutes as Darth Vader stared him down and Sora smiled slightly realizing he might be off the hook. But as soon as his lips twitched the light saber was inches from his neck and he flinched.

'Bring my apprentice." he ordered to the others. 'He shall take care of him."

"Apprentice?" Sora blinked in curiosity and he stared at the black foe pleadingly. "Annie, Anikan, lets talk this over. I didn't exactly do anything wrong so…..why the apprentice stuff?"

'He planned your death for me to fallow through. But he shall bring your life to an end himself."

'But who's-" but he never finished his sentence for at that moment Darth Vaders apprentice came strolling up beside him fallowed by several soldiers. What came as such a shock was that beneath the black hood and cloak Riku's aqua green eyes shone out at him menacingly.

"RIKU?"

"Yes Sora." he spoke evilly. "I am with him."

Sora couldn't believe what he was hearing. " N-no...that can't be! YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME? YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE DAMN IT!"

"You drove me to the Dark side Sora." he smirked. "You rejected my request like the hot tempered teenager you are and shunned me to the darkness."

"Riku….." he gulped feeling the guilt well up inside of him. "I'm sorry.. I...I'll go see the movie with you, just don't kill me!"

"Why you little suck up!" the teen drew a light saber from his cloak and held it glowing out in front of him, inches from Sora's neck. He let out a small squeak of fright, something he did when he was younger. Riku smirked even wider and with a small shove brought the light saber slowly across Sora's neck.

The teen shut his eyes ready for the pain and to see death flash before his eyes. He regretted snapping at Riku, at being the one thing he himself hated, at being so stuck up and stupid and wished he could have had a second chance.

But instead of death and pain, he felt only a light warmth pressed against his neck from the glass structure of the blade and his eyes twitched open to find Riku smiling down at him.

"Paybacks sweet isn't it Sora?" he said cheerfully.

'W-what?"

Riku turned around. 'Alright guys, good work!"

Everyone of the storm troopers cheered and took off there helmets one by one. Some Sora recognized as kids from school and most noticeable was Wakka and Tidus who had led Riku in to the circle earlier. Each gave Sora a thumbs up sign and burst into fits of laughter and he felt his face redden in embarrassment.

"Then who's…Darth Vader?""

A tap on the shoulder answered his question when the brunette found himself face to face with Leon's head and Darth Vader's body. His eyes glinted with mischief and Sora's face reddened even more as he ruffled his hair. "Sorry kid, I had to do it when Riku told me what a jerk you've been lately."

"Umm….yeah." Sora muttered looking at the ground. He did admit he had been a real moron…just like Riku had been at his age. "But in payment of that, I'll go to see Star Wars with you tonight."

Riku nodded. " Thanks Sora I appreciate it. Just to let you know, all of these guys and Leon are going too. There members of the local fan club."

"I kind of figured that." Sora grumbled glaring at all of them. " They aren't wearing those to the movie are they?"

Riku laughed. 'No. there just wearing normal clothes."

Sora sighed in relief.

"Me, you, and Leon are going to be the ones dressed up."

"WHAT?"

" He's our Jedi Master and we're his apprentices. I got a outfit for you back home which I think fits you pretty well." he patted Sora on the back. 'Well, see you later tonight then!" and with a snap of his fingers he walked off fallowed by the whole fan club and Leon.

As soon as they were gone, the brunette sunk into the nearest bench he could find and let out a long, loud groan. He had fell for it, and this was his punishment. Even though he did deserve it…

'The movie can't be that bad." he spoke out loud to himself. "Maybe then I'll see if its really worth all these trashy advertisements."

Later that night…..

"THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!' Sora cried as him, Leon, and Riku walked out of the theater behind millions of people (mostly the fan club.) All three were dressed in long brown Jedi robes which really did make them look hot, and fake light sabers. Personally they were average looking people in the crowd sense half looks like Darth Vader, the Emperor, and Padme' which Sora and the others stood drooling at.

"Soo after all hat complaining you liked it huh?" Riku smirked.

Sora nodded and a small frown settled on his face. "The ending was sad though..."

"Well it was supposed to be. It kicked ass!" Leon spoke up. They continued walking silently toward there car when Sora stopped and sighed.

"What is it?" Riku asked turning toward him.

"Do you think… one of us would ever turn against each other?"

The stars winked down on them from above and the chatter from the crowd had so far as died down. The silver haired teen frown at his friends question and shook his head. "I don't think we're stupid enough to turn against each other."

'Yeah, but what if it happens?" Sora spoke in horror. 'What if in some other universe one of us is trying to kill the other and millions of other people?"

Riku shrugged. "Possibility but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. We're sane enough to know what's dark and light." he told Sora as they took a seat in the back of Leon's car and buckled up.

" Except you." Sora smirked.

"Hey, I would NOT turn against you!"

"Sssuurreee. You seemed to enjoy being Darth Vader's apprentice earlier. I almost died of fright you moron."

"How bout this.' Leon spoke up from the front seat. " I'm the good one and you two are the evil Jedi's and I have to kick your ass and get the girl. How bout that?"

" Leon, if Yuffie can kick your ass then you have a small chance of kicking ours."

And so the fight drove on all the way until they reached home and the three feel asleep at Riku's house in there costumes dreaming of the day behind them. All had agreed none of them would turn against each other an stay best friends forever.

As for in another dimension……

Another Dimension

"Open your heart to darkness Sora!' Riku cried evilly as he held his glinting Keyblade out in front of him.

"In your dreams Riku! My hearts stronger then yours will ever be!" he shouted swinging his own Keyblade against his.

……….Well you know the rest of the story.

Me: REVIEW! And as I have noticed, the Star wars merchandising is going down and is being pushed out by "Madagascar." the penguins appeared on my Go-gurt this morning.

Info on this One-shot:

I know that all the characters were OC but there sort of based off my friends brothers who are real Star Wars maniacs. I based Riku and Sora off of them because there the ones who took me and my friend to see it at the theater and the whole merchandising thing was a conversation we had in the car on the way their. Oh, and they thought Padme'' was hot while me and my friend drooled over Anikan.

No Kairi in this, cause I wanted to keep it strictly with the guys. Just found it easier.

Release date may be wrong. I hope it isn't.

You CAN buy a Darth Vader Costume for a price of $500 which I found in a magazine I get called "things you never knew existed.'……yeah.

Am I a Star Wars fan? HELL YES! But not enough to make a fan fiction on it except this one.

I have another One-shot coming and 2 new stories. I will soon update passing Shadows sense I'm still planning the next chapter with the help of my friend Cris. Schools going to end soon also.

SEE YAS! Next story coming soon.
