Sorry I haven't been posting lately, Fanfiction wouldn't let me upload the chapter...
Kairi held up two necklaces.
"Which one? The silver pendant or the pink flower?" she asked. Namine went to look at them.
"I think the silver pendant would look better with the dress that you're wearing and the hairstyle that I wanted to do," she said, taking out a hair tie. She took Kairi's hair, took two strands from both sides, and tied it, leaving the rest to hang down. Kairi looked in the mirror, amazed.
"It's great!" she cried, flinging her arms around her friend. Namine blushed and smiled.
"No problem," she said turning to Olette and Kagami.
"What necklaces did you guys pick out?" Namine asked. Kagami held up a sapphire necklace.
"It was my great-grandmothers, who passed it down to my grandmother, etcetera. It's still my mom's but she lent it to me for the night," Kagami said, smiling. It was a sapphire on a silver chain, with silver danglings from the main chain.
"Beautiful!"
"Gorgeous!"
"Stunning!" Kagami grinned. She turned to Olette.
"Need some help?" she asked, turning to Olette's choices.
"Let's see…," she said to herself. She had two choices – a necklace like Kairi's and a yellow choker with dangles and emeralds dangling off the bottom of each chain.
"This one," Kagami said handing the choker to her. Olette smiled.
"That one is my favorite," she said smiling.
"Help?" she asked, holding it up. Kagami nodded and pushed her hair back and fastened it around your neck. Olette smiled and spun around.
"Dashing," Kairi said, clasping her hands together. They turned to look in Kairi's big mirror.
"It's amazing how we all can wear the same dress yet look so different," Kagami commented. Namine had done Kairi's hair in the ponytail thing and she wore the silver dangle necklace. Namine had left her own hair down and straight but she looked gorgeous. She decided to wear the identical necklace. Kagami wondered how many people, guests, were going to ask if Kairi and Namine were sisters. They had the exact same face, eyes, body, and looked almost exactly alike. Kagami grinned at the thought. Olette on the hand looked like a totally different person. Namine curled her hair a bit and she wore the beautiful choker Kagami had picked out for her. She then turned to look at herself. Blue dress, sapphire necklace and her raven-black hair was down and it was all straight and shiny. "Like a princess" as Kairi said. She shook her head.
"They guys should be here any minute now," Olette said. The girls hurried down the stairs and Kairi's mother and father gushed at how beautiful the girls look. The doorbell rang and the girls all screamed and then started to laugh. Riku, Sora, Roxas, and Hayner were all standing at the door, each with a red rose in their hands. The girls blushed madly.
"It's a pleasure, Mr. and Mrs. Hikari," Sora said kindly. Kairi's father turned to look at him.
"Are you the young man who is taking our daughter to the dance?" he asked. Sora nodded, his spikes bobbing up and down.
"Be sure to take care of her and not let anything bad happen," he said. Sora nodded, obviously scared of Kairi's dad. Kairi groaned and pulled Sora away from her parents.
"Thanks dad, I'll be fine, we're going to get going now," she called as everyone hurried out the door, not wanting to be late. Kagami slipped into shotgun next to her date. Riku's was wearing a black tuxedo and looked amazingly hot. Kagami blushed and turned away. Riku was staring at Kagami.
"You… You… look a-amazing," he stuttered. Kagami squeezed his arm.
"You look great too," she remarked and stared out the window.
"How long does the dance go till?" Kairi asked from her seat next to Sora behind Kagami.
"11!" Olette yelled from the back. She giggled as Hayner tickled her neck. Riku drove a van so, since there were the two in front, two in middle, and three in back, there should only be seven in the car. Olette agreed to sit on Hayner's lap on the way there, and Namine sit on Roxas's lap on the way back. Hayner groaned.
"I feel like Santa," he said, smiling. Everyone burst into laughter.
"Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas!" Hayner yelled, and everyone burst into laughter all over again. They were even laughing as they walked into the school. People turned to stare at them but they could care less. Kairi about screamed as the next song came on.
"Come on you guys, I love the Crazy Frog song!" she said, pulling her friends on the dance floor and jumped up and down, Kagami, Namine, and Olette mimicking her, and not doing a very good job at it. The guys stayed behind and watched as the girls disappeared in the crowd. Roxas shook his head and punched Sora on the shoulder.
"Man, how did you get Kairi to like you?" he asked. Sora smiled and then frowned.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked after a while
"Took long enough," Hayner said, laughing. Riku grinned but he was really just watching Kagami out of the corner of his eye.
'Wow, I'm lucky she would even look twice at me…'
"Stalking Kagami again?" Sora asked Riku, grinning.
"No!" he exclaimed.
"I'm just… looking at her," he finally said. Sora rolled his eyes but shrugged.
"Kagami is really pretty, ya know?" he said. Riku opened his mouth to say something but Sora spoke first.
"But Kairi's even prettier, she's like a goddess, I'm lucky she would even look twice at me," he admitted. Riku turned to stare at him.
"Yeah, well you're not the only one"
"Why? You've got the good grades, athletics, muscles, yada yada yada."
"Come on, you've got the good grades, athletics and you've got the personality too," Riku said, punching Sora in the arm. Sora's face brightened up.
"You mean it, man?"
"Sure do, Sora." The song changed to "Kiss by a Rose" by Seal and the girls came running back up to the boys. Kairi pulled Sora on the dance floor and he turned back to Riku and gave a thumbs-up. Namine and Roxas walked on and started to dance and Hayner dragged Olette there. Riku and Kagami were left on the side.
"Dance?" he asked her, holding his hands out. Kagami nodded and stepped close to him and Riku wrapped his arms around her.
"Did you get new cologne?" she asked, still staying her head on his shoulder. Riku grinned.
"Yeah, the new papou ones for guys, straight from the papou fruits on the islands," he said. Then he put on a shocked face.
"Why? Do you not like it?" he asked, sounding hurt. Kagami shook her head.
"No no! I love it! I was just wondering, 'cause you smelled different," she said. Riku grinned and ran his fingers through her hair.
"What are you doing with this jerk?" a familiar voice asked. Kagami looked up and about choked to see Seifer in a tuxedo. She cursed under her breath. Riku glared at him.
"Go pick on someone your own size," he said, standing his ground, and moving away from him.
"Can't find a girl, can you?" Kagami asked, a lot braver then she felt. Seifer narrowed his eyes and then looked at her.
"My dear, I was looking for you,"
"Don't call her that,"
"Why not? She's not dating you, eh?"
"Yes I am" Seifer looked shocked. He stared at them for a couple seconds and then left them alone. Kagami sighed. Riku wrapped his arms around her even tighter.
"I won't let him near you ever again," he promised. Kagami smiled.
"We have announcements for homecoming king and queen!" the principal said, getting up on stage. The song stopped playing and everyone looked around for the eight nominees.
"Would the homecoming king nominees line up over here and the homecoming queen nominees line up over here across them?" he asked. Kagami stood in front of Riku, her heart racing. Sora was across from Kairi, Roxas across from Namine, and Olette across from Hayner. Kairi squeezed her hand.
"Ow."
"Sorry. I'm just amazingly nervous."
"Will we all still be friends after this?" Olette asked naively. Everyone nodded. One boy and one girl ran up with the crown and the tiara. The boy walked up and down the line, finally stopping at Riku, and placing the homecoming king crown on his head. He grinned at Kagami and then was hugged by Hayner, Roxas, and Sora. The girls that were watching were in hysterics, because they didn't want the hottest guy in school dancing with some other girl but them. The girl walked up and down the line, taunting them by pretending to place the crown on their head, but jerking it back. She grinned mischievously. Kagami closed her eyes. She felt something being dropped on her head and placed a hand on her head. She about screamed as she felt the homecoming queen tiara on her head. Kagami grinned as she hugged each of her friends and stepped on the dance floor with Riku. The song, I don't want to miss a thing played as the two of them danced. Before they knew it, the song was over and the other nominees stepped out on the dance floor to dance.
"Perfect… I swear, those teachers are spying on us," Kairi whispered to Sora. He smiled.
"Yeah, you are," he murmured, not understanding what she said. Kairi blushed.
"Sora? Do you want to go on a date sometime?" she asked nervously. He smiled, his blue eyes glinting in the light.
"You mean it?" he asked. Kairi nodded. He nodded, his spikes bobbing up and down again. He hugged her even closer.
Meanwhile, over by Hayner and Olette.
"You want go on a date?" Hayner asked Olette. Olette smiled.
"Of course I do," she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. Hayner grinned and spun her around
"I should have asked you this during the first dance… but, I was wondering…" Riku said nervously. Kagami looked up into his eyes.
"What is it?" she asked with a smile. Riku blushed.
"I was wondering… if you… um… would want to be my girlfriend?" he spat out finally. Kagami felt tears come to her eyes.
"Of course."
The girls were all sitting in Namine's room on the floor, talking about their night.
"I've got great news!" Kairi, Kagami, and Olette exclaimed at the same time. They giggled.
"Okay, Kairi you go first," Namine decided.
"I asked Sora on a date" The girls squealed and hugged Kairi. Kagami grinned.
"What did I tell you?" she said, crossing her arms. She then turned to Olette.
"What was your news?" she asked.
"Well Hayner asked me on a date," Olette said, grinning.
"Haha, I knew he would," Kairi said, giving her friend a hug.
"So we all have dates and its Christmas, I think we're doing pretty well this year," Namine said. Kagami paled.
"It's Christmas already? I haven't bought anything!" she wailed. Namine patted her on the back.
"It's alright, Christmas is at least two weeks away, we'll go shopping this weekend," she reassured her friend. Kagami nodded.
"I have to get my mom, my dad, Roxas, you guys, the guys…," she groaned. The girls cast looks at each other.
"Your dad?" Olette asked hesitantly.
"Oh right, my parents are divorced. Didn't I tell you guys that?" she asked, grimacing a bit. They thought for a second.
"Yeah. Sorry," Namine quickly said. Kairi quickly changed the subject.
"Kag, what was your news?" she asked. Kagami blushed.
"Riku asked me to be his girlfriend," she said, like it was no big deal.
Three mouths dropped open.
"Girl, did I tell you that girls have been trying to get their hands on him
for years?" Kairi asked. Kagami laughed.
"First day of school," she said. The talk turned back to the dance and
Namine's mother came in and told them to go to bed. The girls talked for a little while longer before falling asleep.
