Chapter 4: To the Ball!

Hello everyone! What's up? I've been obsessing over a vid game recently, if that explains why it took so long for an update.

SomeoneInThePastOfEarth: I've updated.

Ravenf6: I never thought of Cloud pushing Sephy... I like that idea! Thanks! I'll read your torture by polka fic eventually... I've been busy. (Yes, vid games count as busy.) Of course the ball will be hilarious.

Hurkydoesntknow: Glad you liked hitting someone.

RuinsofTikal: Updatezy? That's a new one. I've updated.

AloneinDespair: You actually like Axel? I'm glad you liked Cid at the beginning. That was entirely for laughs.

KH Fan: I ask this a lot, but could you leave your email? This goes for all anonymous reviewers too.

Aw... That's it for reviews...? Darn it! Sorry for the delay in updating!

"Everyone ready?" Jane called. "All right! Action!"

The cameras started rolling.

"With the Fairy Godmother stupidly forgetting to tell Riku the time limit of her magic, Riku raced off toward the ball." Cid said in the mic. "OUCH!" Yuffie threw a shuriken at him. "That hurt Yuffie! I was only reading the script!"

"Don't call me stupid then!" Yuffie snarled back.

"Yuffie! Quit interrupting!" Hurky said, annoyed.

"Anyways, at the ball..." Cid said, and some music started playing.

"Princess, you must choose a husband by the end of the night." Squall said calmly.

The Moogles were in multicolored outfits dancing around the stage. Everyone wore a mask. Wakka was in the background on a unicycle juggling blitzballs.

"Yes, I know Father." Ryo-oki responded, glancing around the ballroom. Sora and Tidus ran up to her.

"Ello!" Sora yelled, pushing Tidus into Wakka, and blitzballs hit Tidus hard in the head. "My name is Sora!"

"I am Tidus, Your Majesty!" Tidus pushed Sora into Nisemono and Namine.

"Er... Pleasure to meet you... Welcome to the ball." Ryo said, managing a weak smile. She turned away and went to her seat, muttering, "I hope they aren't the only single guys here..."

"As she said this, Riku was just outside." Cid said.

"Ha ha! Stupid horse!" Cloud said, happily whipping Sepheroth forward.

"I call this animal abuse!" Sepheroth yelled.

"Wow! A talking horse! Ahyuck!" Goofy laughed.

Riku stepped out of the carriage and entered the room. He wore a mask like everyone else, a small one that only hid his eyes. A big hush fell over the crowd as he walked down the marble staircase.

"Hey there handsome!" Kairi walked up to Riku. 'Why must I be tortured?' She though irritably.

"Uh... Hi?" Riku said nervously.

"Milady..." Selphie muttered, pointing at Riku. "Maybe you should meet him. He's so handsome."

"I don't go by looks, Selphie. You know that." Ryo looked up.

"Good evening." Riku pushed past Kairi and bowed to Ryo-oki. "My name is Riku, Your Majesty."

"H-hi." Ryo-oki said, blushing. "You can just call me Ryo."

'She's blushing for real...' Riku thought. "Well then, Ryo, would you like to dance?"

Ryo-oki grinned. "Of course."

Riku took her hand and swept her onto the dance floor. Music started playing.

Axel ran onto the stage. "Ha! Thought you could beat me-" He was trampled by dancing Moogles, whom Rachel had asked to stomp on him if he tried to get onstage. "Ouch! Help! I said help! I'm being trampled by a horde of crazy Moogles! Save me!" He yelped fro beneath there feet.

"That'll teach him." Ryu said, drinking his root beer.

"What is your name, oh prince of my heart?" Ryo-oki asked, seemingly in a trance. She closed her eyes, expecting a kiss.

Riku ran as fast as he could back to his carriage and told Cloud to get back as quickly as possible. The clock had struck midnight, and his clothes were starting to turn back into rags. In his hurry, he left behind his princely boot. Cloud whipped Sepheroth and they started back to the house immediately.

"That's all for today!" Jane shouted.

"Yes, Director Jane." QL937 shut the camera down.

"Good job Tiffany! Glad the cue got everything changing back." Jane nodded.

"Glad Ryo has a friend who does magic." Cindy nodded. "We don't have to pay big bucks for special affects. All we gotta do is give her a manga." She handed Tiffany a book.

"Hey! I have this one! It's Chobits!" Tiffany said, frowning. "And it has my name on it!"

"Um... That's probably because Cindy's too cheap to actually buy one..." Hurky muttered. "She stole it from you and was gonna give it back as payment."

"Accountants are evil." Tiffany murmered.

Axel came backstage with bruises all over. "Who instructed the Moogles to try to kill me?"

Rachel started to whistle innocently.

"YOU!" Axel pulled out his blades, ready to kill her.

Rachel squeaked and hid behind Squall, who pulled out his Gunblade. "I'd leave her alone if I were you."

"YOU DO LOVE ME!" Rachel tackled Squall.

"No, I just wanna be the one to get rid of you." Squall said simply.

Ryu pulled out his katana. "It will rain blood today!" He shouted, and chased Axel out, laughing manically.

"Think Axel will survive?" Namine asked Kairi and Selphie.

"I have to say no..." Kairi and Selphie said in unison.

"I don't know..." Aerith said thoughtfully. "He can teleport, after all..."

Sora was already pigging out on food with the Moogles.

"Don't choke, dairy. You still have a big role, carrot?" Effie asked, putting some mustard on some cake and eating it. ((Read Quest for the Giant Cookie and you'll understand...)

"That's gross..." Cid said, putting Ketchup in his coffee.

"That's grosser." Nisemono commented.

"Oh well!" Cid and Effie said at once.

Thank you Ravenf6 for the idea with Sephy and Cloud!

Hope you liked this chapter everyone! It's almost the end, but don't worry! Once I'm done with this, I'll be making fun of Sleeping Beauty! Bet you can't guess the roles. (evil grin)
