DICLAIMER: I DO NOT OWNKINGDOM HEARTS.

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A MILD LEMON.

The ligths dimmed at the activity center as prom began. Antionette Taylor, and her friends Kairi, Namine, Rikku, and Yuna all sat around a table debating what they should order to eat. Antionette, for being one of the most popular girls in the school, was dateless. Not because no one would go with her. On the contrary, almost every guy in her class wanted her to go with them, but she pointedly refused. She had to say, her mom had picked out an awesome dress for her to wear. It was made of some black sparkly fabric, and was very close fitting, showing off her perfect figure, while concealing enough not to be considered slutty. She spared a glance around the table at the people who had also become some of her closest friends in the past few months. There was Sora, Kairi's klutz of a boyfriend. Then there was the heartthrob Riku, Namine's silver haired date. Wakka, the man with the permanent wave in his orange hair, who was dating Selphie. Then there was Tidus, Yuna's man of the night and secret crush. The remaining two outlaws as they used to be called, Aeris and Yuffie, had decided to go single tonight.

"So, you think he'll show?" Namine whispered to Kairi, refering to the insaniac Dave Burnside, who had lived with Antionette for about three days, before going home to Twilight Town. In those three days, he had changed all of their lives in one way or another. "I don't know. She was on the phone with him all night I think." Kairi whispered back. Sora looked at Kairi, the look in his eyes asking her to dance. Kairi flashed him a smile, much like the one she'd given him the night he'd asked her out. It seemed like so long ago, but in reality, it was only a few months ago. Antionette's drug lord father, Juan Gincarlo, was in jail for the rest of his miserable life thanks to what happened at the trial. As the group hit the dance floor, Antionette remained seated at their table, politely declining any offers to dance. "Annie? Are you gonna sit this one out too?" A snide voice said. She looked up to see Seifer and his posse, Fuu and Rai, with him. "Go away, Seifer." she heard Yuffie say. It was common knowledge that they hated eachother after what happened at the beach house last summer. He had tried to rape her.

"I'll still get you, girl. You can bank on that." he hissed softly as the rest of her friends came up. Strong as he and his posse were, they couldn't take on all the outlaws at once. As they strode off, Sora discreetly nudged Riku and slipped him his cell phone, while nodding toward the bathroom. Riku nodded in understanding. "Uh, Namie, can you excuse me for a minute?" he said suavely, giving her one of his award winning smiles. "Sure." she said blushing redder than a fire hydrant. Riku strode into the latrine, went into a stall, and resignedly dialed a number. Somewhere out at sea, a phone rang.

Dave sat on the bow of Anthony's ship, Grandstone, looking at the moon reflecting off the surface of the water. Not a day had gone where he didn't think of what had happened on the Destiny Islands. He heard the phone ring on the bridge, but ignored it. Anthony would kill him if he knew he was neglecting his duties. "Dave? It's for you." Roxas's voice floated out. With a sigh, he heaved himself onto the deck and walked onto the bridge. "Yeah?" he said nonchalantly.

Riku: Dave? It's me, Riku.

Dave nearly dropped the phone.

Dave: Nani?

Riku: Are you gonna be here or not?

The irritation in Riku's voice was evident. Dave sighed and looked at Roxas, who he knew could hear every word with his sharp ears.

Dave: I'll try, man. I gotta get there. Where are you, the new club that just opened?

Riku: Yeah.

Dave: Aight, I'll see what I can do.

As he handed the phone back to Roxas, he began to mutter to himself. "Roxas, where did you put my tux?" he said finally after long two minutes. Roxas knowingly handed it to him, along with the keys to his gummi ship. "Thanks, bro. Don' tell cap'n, neither." He said as he changed. "I already know, Dave." Anthony said as he emerged from the galley. "Cap'n?" Dave said uncertainly. "Yer lady awaits, don' she?" Anthony asked a dumbfounded Dave. "Dave nodded. "Then why are you still here?" Anthony asked shoving Dave into the gummi ship and luanching it to the prom site. The rest of the crew shared a good laugh as Anthony went back below, muttering about dice.

Meanwhile, Antionette was getting fed up with everyone asking her to dance, so she went and stood outside. Looking up at the stars, she failed to notice a person standing next to her. "Beautiful, aren't they?" he asked after she finally noticed him. "Yeah. I used to look at them like this all the time when I was a kid. How about you?" She said, lulled into a sense of security by his presence. "Nah, never had the time until recently, when I started sailing with my friend." Something about him seemd familiar, though she couldn't quite place it. She decided to go back in, when she suddenly felt like she knew this guy. "Dance?" she said casually. The guy grinned wolfishly, and said a very familiar line: "Try and keep up, little girl." It hit her right then who he was. "Dave?" she breathed. He nodded, brushing his flame red hair out of his eyes. The pair re-entered the room, oblivious to everyone else. As they danced, the rest of the group watch from the table. "Hard to belive he's actually here, ain't it?" Tidus said, pulling Yuna onto his lap. "Nah, he loves her. Can't y'all see it?" Aeris said, smiling contently at the site of Antionette's smile. As the dance came to a close, Antionette leaned over and whispered something in Dave's ear. He blushed slighty, and nodded. This was going to be a night they would remember for the rest of their lives.

Antionette looked at Dave as he drove in his usual fashion toward her house, the lights on the dash board giving him an eerie look. It was weird, she had only known him for three days before he left, and she was already more in love with him than she was with anyone else. After pulling up in a seamless powerslide, like the one he had used on his first day in her life. "Are your parents home?" he asked. She shook her head. He merely nodded, wondering what had possessed her to want to do this now of all times. "Wher-" he began, only to be cut off by her kissing him passionately, while her hands worked on taking off his jacket. Dave slid his hands down her sides, letting them come to rest on her hips. She stopped kissing him to ask him an important question. Well, two actually. "Are you a-" "Yeah. And yeah, I got some condoms." He said, his left hand now resting on the small of her back. He leaned down and began to nibble at her collar bone, earning a moan from Annie. He stopped and began to pull off his shirt, revealing his heavily muscled and scarred torso. Antionette ran her fingers over one of his scars lightly while she began to kiss him again. After about five minutes of making out, they had somehow ended up on her kitchen table. As Antionette slipped off her dress, Dave thought back to how all of this had started. Her screaming "Who the fuck are you?" at the top of her lungs. Dave turned back toward her, and his breath caught in his throat. She was so beautiful. And she was his. "Take me." she said softly. Dave complied, removing his pants, and positioning himself in front of her entrance. "This is gonna hurt." he said before he started. "Just do it." With that, thrust deep inside her, causing her to scream in pain. "You okay?" he asked as he kissed her again. "Yeah. Don't stop." she panted. Dave nodded and began to thrust again, with her matching his movements. Antionette felt herself nearing her climax, and urged Dave to go faster. Not a minute later, they both released at the same time. Dave rolled off her, panting. "Next time we do it in bed." he gasped. "Did you have a condom on?" she asked suddenly. "Oh shit..."

A year and a half later, Dave recalled that night as he got up to feed he and Antionette's new born child. Did he regret it? No, and niether did she. It came as a bit of a shock to his friends that he was getting married. Antionette's parents were thrilled at the idea, until they found out she was pregnant with their first child at the time. Oh that had been a lecture he'd never forget. Something along the lines of "What the fuck were you thinking?" would sum it up nicely. Upon reaching the babies room, he lifted the child out of the crib. "Ya know, you gotta learn to tell time." he said tiredly, as his son giggled. "Really, hon?" he heard a voice say as a pair of arms wrapped around his waist. If he hadn't been holding his son, and not known it was his wife, he would've dropped whoever was behind him like a Drill Sergeant drops his platoon into the leaning rest. "You know my mom and dad are visiting tommarow right? Oh forget it." she said exasperatedly. Both her husband and her son had fallen asleep. Kodac moment. "One day I'll tell you our story, little one." she whispered before turning off the light.
