Thanks to Riku Uzumaki for their review on the last chapter posted months ago. Okay, I'm going to try to stay on this and not let this fic be forgotten or anything. So, now that Ven and Roxas have a job at the crazy Choco-Mog, what else is in store?

Of Horrible Rap Lyrics and Stalkers
Monday, November 22nd, Professor Vincent's classroom…
During Professor Vincent's lecture on the role that Midgar had on their world's power source, Ven nearly fell asleep as the subject was quite boring. That and he pulled his first long shift at the Choco-Mog. As he nodded off, he heard Professor Vincent say, "And how did Midgar create the energy we use today?"
No one in the class was paying attention, so the man asked again. Ven slammed his head onto his desk as he fell asleep, Garnet yawned loudly and Zack stared out the window bored. Others in the class doodled in their notebooks, checked their phones, and chewed on pens. Only a few took notes, forcing Professor Vincent to use his oddly clawed, prosthetic arm to scratch the chalkboard.
The class's reactions were as expected as the loud nails on chalkboard sound filled the air.
"OH GOD! OW! AAH!" many of them yelled, covering their ears.
Ven jumped out of his seat. Garnet slapped her hands over her ears and Zack screamed, "What was that for?"
"Well, you're all finally paying attention. As I was saying, Midgar's role in our world's energy supply is that of a monopoly. That monopoly being the ShinRa Power Company," Prof. Vincent told them.
Ven groaned, still on the floor, and muttered, "Man…He didn't have to go and do that."
Lunchtime, Ven's table…
"Um, is anyone going to say anything about that girl hiding over there and staring at Marluxia?" Vivi asked.
Roxas and eight of the Fair's Fourteen, with newest "recruits" Noct, Luna and Prompto, watched as a girl in light blue stood from afar, watching Marluxia, Larxene and the others jocks eating. He found it creepy as the girl had been stalking Marluxia for the past few weeks. No one commented on it as many believed that Marluxia deserved it for all the torment he had caused others. Vivi and Eiko, however, did and asked, "Um, who is she? Why is she staring at him like that? Creepy…"
"Yeah, that's Elsa for ya…." Zack said, biting into a cheese sandwich.
"Elsa D'Angelo, former child star turned stalker. I can see the headlines now. 'Alice Angel: Child Star Turned Stalker to the Mafia'," Prompto said, holding his hands up in a silly fashion.
Roxas shook his head and noticed Lea's wide grin. Isa looked afraid to ask and said, "Uh, Lea. Why are you grinning like that? It's creepy! Stop it!"
"Well, ya know how I've been working on my 'rap game' right?" Lea said.
"Uh no…" Tidus replied.
Isa rolled his eyes and said, "Lea, you're not a good rapper. Don't even try it."
"Yeah, you're a 'trash rapper', Lea…" Shuyin added.
"'Trash rapper'?" Luna asked.
"That means he can't rap to save his life. Leave it to our darker-hued brethren, Lea," Roxas said.
Vivi took offense and said, "Hey, I'm dark-skinned and I can't rap!"
"Yeah! And neither can Prof. Sazh! Racist! Racist!" Eiko cried out.
Roxas looked around, hoping that no one would hear her, and yelled, "I'm not a racist! Just giving credit to where it's due!"
"ANYWAY! I was watching some of my favorite rappers the other day and…!" Lea continued.
"Seriously, you're a trash rapper and you know it," Noctis told him.
"Noct, you're just mad that I got with your cousin, Iris!" Lea said smugly.
Greatly angered as Iris was like his little sister, Noctis nearly jump up, yelling, "Uh, you got with her in the sixth grade! And it was only during the Spring Formal! I swear, if ya bring it up one more time, ya bast…!"
"Hey, I was just joking…Chill. Her butt wasn't big enough for me anyway…" Lea said, muttering the last bit.
Vivi and Eiko looked at each other, confused, and Eiko was brave enough to ask, "So, what's your new rap?"
"Okay. Here goes!" Lea said.
He jumped up, taking a pen and using it like a microphone. Dramatic, techno rap music, or as Prof. Sazh called it "rat trap music", started playing from his phone and Lea began.
"BOOM! Yo! GAH! The 'ting' go 'skrrah!' Pop-pop-pop-pop-POP! Screech-e-screech-pop-POP! And a 'poom-poom-poom-BOOM'!" Lea "rapped".
On the other side of the lunchroom, Yuna, Yuffie and the others of the Fair's Group heard the "rap" and Garnet asked, "Uh, is someone shooting guns over there?"
"What is going on?" Yuna asked.
The group of five watched as Lea stood at Luna's table and performed his rap routine. Yazoo and his brothers, who sat at a table next to theirs, watched in great confusion.
"At least he's trying, right?" Yazoo asked.
Kadaj shook his head, saying, "Nope. Not buying the CD."
"Worse rap ever…" Yuffie muttered.
"Why is he trying to rap?" Demyx asked, messing with the strings for his sitar.
"Seriously, Rusty can rap better than him…Poor Vivi. Looks like he's getting rained on over there," Zidane said, shaking his head.
"Keeyah! Poom-boom-boom-POOM! Poom-BOOM! Ya done now! Big shock! Yo! Yo-yo! Yeah! Alright!" Lea ended.
Silence enveloped their table and the surrounding ones as those within earshot had heard it. After a few moments, the first to react was a rather angry Noct. He looked down at his plate of a-now-very-wet-with-saliva turkey sandwich and chips and glared at Lea.
"What the fu...freak was that?! You just spat all over my food!" he yelled, remembering to censor himself around the younger students.
Vivi wiped his face and said, "You spat all over me…"
Eiko cried, saying, "You spat in my eyes!"
"And your nasty saliva got in my mouth…GAH!" Ven yelled, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"And all my food's covered with your spit!" Shuyin said, pushing his plate back.
Roxas, Zack and Tidus did the same, seeing their poor lunch covered with the redhead's saliva.
"Dude…You didn't say anything…" Isa told him.
Lea grinned nervously as the table seemed ready to pummel him. With a laugh, he said, "Oh. Well, thanks for listening guys. I'll just…um…go…"
He ran off before anyone could get him.
With "Alice Angel"…
After Lea's departure from the lunchroom, Elsa D'Angelo watched as Marluxia bit into his lunch of sushi and noodles. She glared at Larxene and thought of ways to get the sadistic cheerleader away from her beloved. No one but the Fair's Group saw her intensely staring at the young mobster.
'Aw…I've tried everything to get his attention. I've tried torturing the cheerleaders with. I tried seduction on the archers to get info on him, but nothing. I've even tried getting in Larxene's good graces, all so she could get away from my beloved!' she thought.
Sighing, the ash blonde in blue thought, 'Maybe I should change my approach. Maybe if I make her think about someone else, then…'
"Oh hi!"
"YAH-HA!" the girl screamed, jumping out of her hiding spot behind some garbage cans, and seeing an inquisitive blonde and a boy in a wizard's hat.
"Hey there," blonde said.
"U-Uh um…Who-Who are you guys?" Elsa asked.
The pseudo-wizard grinned and said, "I'm Vivi. Vivi Orunitia and this is my friend, Ventus Pellegrino."
"And you're 'Alice Angel'," Ven said.
Elsa sighed, remembering that's all most people who knew about the show 'Bendy and Friends' only knew her by her stage name. Begrudgingly, she said, "Yes, yes. I played her. Um, what do you two want?"
"I-I…Um, I mean. We…" Vivi started.
"We?" Ven asked.
"We were wondering why you're stalking Marluxia. He's not a good guy to be around," Vivi said.
"Yeah, like his family's known for illegal trafficking, people suddenly disappearing and other stuff. Why like someone like that?" Ven asked.
Offended, Elsa said, "Those are just rumors. They can't prove anything in the courts or in the media, so ha!"
"Um…Well, it's obvious when a classmate or their parents go missing," Vivi said, remembering an old classmate named Henry Mills who disappeared three years ago.
"Well, it hasn't been proven. So, don't talk about my beloved in that manner!" Elsa yelled, her ice blue eyes glowing with fervor.
She took off, running down the hall and out of sight. Vivi looked to Ven, who was equally worried for her safety.
"Shouldn't we…?" the little teen asked.
Ven thought about how usually mobster wives and girlfriends had horrible lives. For example, from the Tenors series, the wife endured all the husband's infidelity and other crazy stunts. And in the "Padrino" movies, the wife was nearly killed repeatedly due to her husband's enemies going after him and his family.
Vivi apparently was thinking the same thing and said, "Should we try to get her away from Marluxia?"
"Yeah, but with how?" Ven asked.
The school bell rang and the students returned to class.
The next afternoon, Tuesday, November 23rd, the Choco-Mog…
Ven, over at the fry station, dumped a bag of Mogmatt Fries into the baskets and placed them into the extremely hot oil. He looked at the timer, remembering that a suddenly giant order came in out of nowhere. He only had about a minute and fifty seconds to get them done and have them ready for Roxas.
Before he could, Noct came from the front and said, "Ven, somebody named Anna's looking for you."
"Who?" Ven asked.
Roxas, who was within earshot, said, "That's Elsa's little sister."
Curious as to why she wanted to see him, Ven headed to the front counter, with Roxas panicking about changing jobs, and saw the brunette in blue and black. She had a worried expression on her face and asked, "Um, are you Ven Pellegrino?"
"Yeah, that's me. What's wrong?" Ven asked.
"Um, it's about my sister, Elsa. I'm sure you've been seeing her around and…um, this is totally weird to ask…" Anna started.
"Yeah, we've seen her hanging near Marluxia and the other jocks, stalking Marluxia," Ven told her.
Anna nodded and said, "I've told her that being with that guy isn't a good idea. Like the women his father, Lauriam, was with. Like two of his ex-wives just 'conveniently' disappeared, leaving his third. I don't want that for Elsa. So I was wondering…"
"Hey, are you gonna order anything?" a rotund man standing behind her asked.
Ven went from behind the counter and led Anna to one of the tables. There, they sat and Anna continued with, "I was wondering if you can get her interested in someone else. If the Fair's Group can do that?"
"Uh, you want us to play matchmaker?" Ven asked.
Anna nodded and Ven yelled, "You want US to play MATCHMAKER?!"
"Yeah, I thought we covered that. Seriously, I'll pay you 5,000 munny EACH if you can get Elsa away from Marluxia," Anna told him.
Ven thought about it, as the amount got him ever so closer to getting that new game console and Dead Fantasy XV. But the leader of the group was Zack, so he didn't have much of a right to make decisions for everyone. He went to tell her that when Roxas said, "When do we start?"
"Tomorrow. I know Elsa's going to hide somewhere, spying on Marluxia. She usually hides in the bushes or trash cans. So, don't worry about her just yet. Find someone that likes her a lot and convince them to talk with her," Anna said.
"But we don't even know what she likes," Ven said, glaring at Roxas.
"I know she likes gefiltefish and cooking. And making ice cream and…" Anna said.
Roxas shook his head, yelling, "Is there anything that she likes that's not food?!"
"Um, she likes snow angels, winter, winter fashions," Anna said.
"OH, never mind. We'll find out ourselves!" Roxas said.
"Hey! I'm her sister! So I'll know more about her than anyone that you'll talk to. Anyway, she likes bad boys, but Marluxia and the other jocks are a no-no! And she likes them fashionable. And they also gotta know how to play 'Radiant Hearts' and not treat her like a star all the time," Anna said.
Ven couldn't think of anyone, but Roxas's rather evil-looking smirk told him he already had some ideas. His smile lessened when Anna added, "Oh, and they have to be in her age range, which is 15 to 17."
"Oh. Okay, we'll get your sister away from Marluxia, even if it kills us," Roxas said.
"Uh, us? I'm not trying to die! I just want the 5,000 munny!" Ven yelled.
Senior, who saw them chatting it up with Anna, said, "Oi! Back to work, twins!"
"We have names, y'know!" Roxas snapped back.
"Yeah, yeah. Back to work, Ven and Rucksack," Senior said.
"It's ROXAS!" Roxas yelled.
Yay. It's only been nearly a year since the last update! And we got the two main characters from Frozen and our first Disney reference! So, will Ven and Roxas find someone Elsa could go with that's not Marluxia? Stay tuned…and I'll try my darndest not to leave this fic!
And I wonder if anyone gets where "Henry Mills" came from. Also thanks to CoryxKenshin and his edits to his videos that gave me much needed inspiration for this fic.
