HnH: -whistles- Yo, Daisuke, do the disclaimer for me! And not Wiz, either!
Daisuke: But...I'm not even from Kingdom Hearts! The readers don't even know me! -sighs- Fine, fine, whatever. HnH does not own anything in this story.
HnH: -stares at Daisuke, prodding him to go on-
Daisuke: -sighs once more- But she wishes she owned me, Niwa Daisuke, and Mousy Dark..and...she wishes Harada Risa and I were together.
HnH: That's what I'm talking about! I thank Light Shadow Spirals of Love this time 'round. Cool penname, by the way.
Daisuke: HnH, get writing! Your fans are waiting!
HnH: Oh...right! Here I go! And, sorry I had to make Selphie so evil. Look at last chapter's notes for translations. If I add anything new...you'll know.
Wait, I'm With Which Band?
Chapter 3: Jealous Band
"What would you do if I said that I loved you?" Naminé asked him. Roxas stared. But he smiled and suddenly gave her a hug. Kairi was 'awing' at how sweet the sight was.
"I would tell you I felt the same way." Roxas said. She broke the embrace and smiled a smile that possessed a stronger presence than that of her others.
"Roxas. You really mean that? You don't like Selphie at all?" Naminé asked, hope in her eyes reflecting in her tone of voice. Roxas nodded and smiled.
"I never really liked Selphie, anyways. Honestly, I thought she was really nosey. But I was nice to her because I can't stand to see girls cry." Roxas said. Naminé lost the smile and shook her head with a serious face on.
"No, Roxas. You were being nice because being nice to people is in your character. Just another reason why I love you so much! I don't mean that like Selphie said, I really, truly mean that." Naminé said. Roxas leaned in and was about to kiss her, when-
"ROXAS! Oh my Kami Naminé is hypnotizing him! Guys, we gotta save Roxas!" He heard Sora shout. Roxas sighed. He was about to get his first kiss from the girl that he loved, but his brother was in the way!
"Naminé, save your first kiss for me, promise?" Roxas asked. Naminé nodded.
"I promise, Roxas! As long as you do the same for me!" She yelled as Roxas gave her a smile that said 'yes' and ran to his twin and his friends.
-
"Roxas! Wake up! We're gonna be late and we have to get a good first impression for the judges!" He heard Sora yell at him. Roxas turned around and stuffed his face in a pillow. He was having such a good dream about an event that happened last week, and he didn't want to wake up. "Roxas! Wake up!" Sora then yelled. Roxas groaned. And stuffed his face in the pillow harder. Sora sighed. Drastic times called fordrastic measures.
"Naminé's here to see you!" Sora shouted. Roxas immediately got up and looked around.
"Where?" He asked. Then, he slapped his forehead once he realized he had been trickedand glared at Sora. "Sora, you tricked me! I was having a nice dream, too, and you just have to come along and ruin it!" Sora laughed.
"Yeah, it's nice knowing that my younger twin brother is a pervert that dreams about kissing girls." Sora said. Roxas got up out of his bed.
"I am NOT a pervert! And I was NOT dreaming about kissing girls, ok!" He said, and sighed. Sora could be so annoying and childish at times.
"Then why were you saying 'Oh, Naminé! Kiss me, my love!' over and over again in your sleep?" Sora asked, sporting a grin that would've made a king fire his joker within a millisecond.
"You read way too many Shakespeare poems, Sora, I swear. And you know for a fact that I don't sleep talk!" Roxas said, pushing Sora out of the room so he could get dressed. Once he did, he went outside to find Hayner, Tidus and Sora waiting for him. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked in surprise.
"Sora told us that you would wake up late, so we came here early." Tidus explained. Roxas shot a glare at Sora, who just shrugged. "Anyway, it was worth it 'causeit was fun listening to you mumble about how much you love Naminé."
"You guys watched me in my sleep?" Roxas asked, his jaw crashing through the floor. He never knew he had friends that were...that way, if youget what if was thinking.Tidus and Hayner laughed.
"No, you idiot! What guy would want to do that? We were just sitting outside, playing a nice game of Patty Cake, when we just so happened to hear you yell your," Hayner cleared his throat, "quote 'undying love that will reach the heavens' unquote." He said. Roxas rolled his eyes. Drama queen.
"I never said that, but let's get going! We want to make a good first impression!" Roxas said, repeating what Sora said earlier. The friends set off to a jog towards where the contest was taking place.
-
"Welcome to the contest! Before you start playing, we should introduce ourselves! I'll go first since I am the best." Said a white-haired man. He pointed to himself. "I am the great Setzer!" The man beside him shook his head.
"I'm Wakka. Setzer is a bit full of himself, ya?" Asked a man with totally orange-flipped out hair and an Jamiacan accent. Wakka looked to the man next to him who had really long white hair. "That's Sephiroth. He doesn't talk much, so don't be afraid of criticism from him, ya? His appearance is kinda creepy, though." Sephiroth didn't seem to mind the insult Wakka was throwing at him.
"And I'm Cid Highwind. Nice to meet you kids, but you better have some talent and not be wastin' my time." Said another judge, a man with blonde hair and a toothpick in his mouth with goggles over his head. Cid looked around. There was an empty seat besides him. "Ah! Where's the last judge! She said she would be here any minute! I can't believe she's late! Sorry, kids." Suddenly, a spirited girl of 18 came skipping in the room.
"Oh, wow! Are you guys performing for us? You're all really cute! I like you guys already!" Said the bubbly blonde, taking a seat next to Cid, who practically growled at her. The guys smiled, knowing they got a good first impression.
"Rikku, they've been waiting for you! You better apologize!" Cid said. Rikku gave him a puppy-dog face look, but Cid grumbled something inaudible and shook his head. "You're on the job, so you better apologize!" Rikku sighed.
"Sorry. Pops, you need to learn how to relax once in a while, ok? Just because I've been late for the last bands doesn't mean anything! I've been busy with Gippal, ok!" Rikku shouted, then noticed everyone staring at her. She laughed nervously and rubbed the back of her head. "Hehehe...just forget everything I've said, ok?"
"Now you can play, ya? No more interruptions, we promise." Wakka said as Roxas nodded and they started to play whilehe began to sing.
-
"Wow." Was all the judges had to say. Roxas gave his friends a frown. It could either be a 'Wow that was really, really, really bad' or 'Wow! That was so amazing I'm speechless.'
"All I have to say is: Your looks match your voice." Said Rikku. Roxas' frown turned upside-down. They cheered, knowing this was a good result. Rikku cleared her throat, "However," everyone's faces dropped, "Your percussionist was first-rate, also." Tidus smiled proudly. The judges began to talk to themselves.
"We've reached a decision." Sephiroth said nonchalantly. The guys looked at each other, and nodded. No matter what the result, they would always be friends and not scream at each other and try to rip each other to pieces.
"YOU'VE MADE IT! CONGRATULATIONS!" They all shouted except Sephiroth. They would've hugged each other, but they weren't that type of guys.
"After we decide who the winners are for the girl band, we'll introduce you to your manager. But no complaining for who your managers are, ya? Some of them can be a bit cranky, but it's all good." Said Wakka. They nodded, and started to leave.
"Oh, wait outside until one of us comes and gets you. Don't run away and tell your friends you won, or else you'll get disqualified. Understand, kids?" Cid asked. The group nodded and exited the room. They saw Seifer's group next in line, and then their favorite girls after them.
"Naminé, I know you'll do great." He said, winking to her. Naminé smiled and nodded. The guys sat down on a couple of chairs in the waiting room. Selphie, who was only allowed in because she talked the ears off of the gruff-looking guards outside, skipped happily to Roxas.
"Hey, Roxie! How did ya do?" Selphie asked, sitting on his lap and shooting a glare at Naminé. Selphie seemed to notice the connection between the blondes, and was probably now bent on breaking their feelings for each other.
"Um, good, I guess." Roxas said, remembering Cid's message to not tell anyone they won. Selphie smiled and did something unexpected- she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him, right on the lips. Roxas immediately broke it off. "Selphie! What do you think you're doing?" He asked angrily.
Naminé wore an absolutely shocked look. When Selphie saw her shocked and sad look, she smiled triumphantly. 'Phase one, complete.' Selphie thought to herself. Everyone was staring at Selphie and Roxas.
"Roxas...you promised." Naminé said, full of disappointment. How could he do such a thing? Were her promises worthless to him? Honestly, she only saw them kissing, nothing before. Roxas shook his head, and stood up, making Selphie fall to the ground.
"Naminé, let me explain-" He said helplessly as she stared at him with hurt eyes. Just at that time, Seifer's gang exited the door. Naminé shook her head and ran inside the room.
"I'll try to explain what happened, ok? I'm not sure if she'll listen, but I saw the whole thing." Kairi said, and Olette and Yuna nodded. Roxas nodded. As he was about to say something, Kairi cut him off. "But you better say good things about me around Sora, ok?" She said, winking to him as she went inside the room with Olette and Yuna. Roxas just stared in disbelief. Kairi liked Sora?
Roxas smiled to himself and sat back down in his seat next to Sora. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, he let out his jokerish grin that he only let out once in a lavender moon. The last time he grinned like this was when...oh, wait, scratch that. Never. Sora knew something was up by the smile etched on his twin's face.
"Roxas, what happened? What did they say? What did Kairi say, bro?" Sora asked. He saw them talking to each other. Was it just Sora, or did Kairi talk to Roxas more than him? 'Well, he can't have both girls, that's for sure.' Sora thought. Roxas kept grinning.
"You really wanna know?" He asked, facing his older twin brother. Sora nodded eagerly.
"Yeah, of course!" He shouted. Roxas hoped that Kairi wouldn't get mad if he told him. Well, if she got mad, she'd have to deal with it, then. There was no way he was passing this opportunity to hook his brother up with his potential girlfriend's sister.
"Well, I think that Kairi likes you." He said. Sora smiled, and hugged Roxas, who looked around and saw people staring. "We're brothers, people! TWIN brothers, ok! No touchy-feely stuff here!" Roxas yelled as he pushed Sora off of him. "Sora, never EVER do that in public EVER again." Sora nodded in agreement.
"Yes sir!" Sora said, saluting to him. Suddenly,Roxas saw Selphiestomp towards him with an angry look on her face. 'Oh no, here she comes to slap me in the face!' Roxas thought to himself. He had seen this happen in way too many episodes of 'The Bold and the Beautiful'.
"No one makes fun of Selphie Tilmitt in public like that! No one!" Selphie yelled. Just like the soaps, asRoxas had suspected.'She'll regret the day she ever came close to MY Roxas! Just wait until I put phase two into action!'
"Dude, I think we should run now. I read in the Boy's Manual to Obsessive Fangirls to never hang around a crazy chick." Hayner whispered to Roxas.
"But Cid told us to stay put!" Tidus whispered back, although Hayner wasn't talking to him. Roxas nodded.
"Yeah, Hayner. I don't want to be disqualified. Besides, us guys can handle one girl." Sora whispered. All guys sighed, and agreed to Sora's decision. Suddenly, Sora, Roxas and Tidus dawned on one thought...
Since when did Hayner read a Boy's Manual to Obsessive Fangirls?
YAYZ! Second chapter in one day! I'm so proud. I think there's something wrong with the word count on ff. On wordperfect, it said this was around 9000 words, but then it says it's around 2000 words now. So, I'm either sorry for obnoxiously long chapter, or the annoyingly short chapter. And, sorry for making Selphie such a -This has been edited for your viewing pleasure- and out of character. Sorry it's been a bit Roxas based. Don't worry, Sora and Hayner's part in this story'll come up.
Please, review! Oh, and, this might be the last chapter for a month or so, because I'm visiting Quebec for a very long time. So, review! ;)
