'HAHAH!' Kat yelled, 'WE GOT OUR NOTEBOOKS BACK!' Kat held her notebook in the air.
'Dramatic much?' Kaida asked.
'Hey, you always had yours. You know I don't like other people to have my notebook.'
Jon rubbed the back of his head. 'That's true.'
'You insisted on learning the hard way.'
---
Everyone was hanging out in the lounge watching Secret Window. The guys winced at all the blood, then stared when Kat and Kaida didn't scream and duck under pillows like Kairi and Namine did.
'Kai, why is everyone staring at us?' Kat thought to her friend.
'Because we can handle blood and gore...'
'I've seen operations...This movie stuff is no big deal...'
'I agree, I've seen my share...' Kaida shuddered.
Then Anna and Emily showed up, the movie automatically pausing.
'Your next competition is in three days. I would practice. Guitar Hero...Now.'
The two girls left.
'How come after I get eliminated they have a competition that I'm actually good at.' Jon questioned.
'They hate you.' Everyone answered.
'(--#) WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME!?' Jon yelled.
'Not everyone,' Kat said, grinning.
'Yeah, You and Kairi have a thing going on.'
There were a few moments of silence, where the air was pregnant with awkwardness.
'WHAT?!!'
'Took you long enough,' Kaida smirked.
'Anyways,' Riku interrupted. 'I think we'd better practice Guitar Hero.'
'Ok,' Kat and Kaida agreed.
-2 hours later-
The ones that could play the game had stopped an hour ago, everyone else was just learning to play.
'Why does this seem like its going to be insanely easy?' Kat asked
'Probably because it is...' Demyx answered
'Good point.' Kat yawned and plopped into a beanbag chair pulling out her sketch book, pencils, and her zen.
'Well she won't be good for anything until she stops drawing.' Kaida stated, then pulled out her book and sat on the couch reading. Demyx went to help the others with Guitar hero, Roxas and Axel were playing a first-person shooter, and Zexion was reading with Kaida. Everyone else was still practicing.
A little while later Kat stood up, 'Ok, I'm starving. Anyone want to join me in the kitchen. I feel like eating some Mexican food.'
Kaida got up from sitting in Zexion's lap, 'I'll help you make something. Cause, now that you mention it, I'm in the mood for salsa.'
Kaida and Kat had been in the kitchen for about twenty minutes when Axel stood up and sniffed the air, 'Mhmm, that smells good. I'm getting myself some food.' He walked into the kitchen. Kaida and Kat were sitting on the table with a bowl of homemade salsa and some homemade totilla chips, they looked very pleased. He walked up, took a chip, and got some salsa. 'Dang, this stuff is good.' He savored the flavour and in 'stealth mode', took another chip.
'Thanks,' The girls said. 'We also made; beef tacos, tofu tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, and fried rice.'
'Yum,' Zexion said, walking into the kitchen, 'Something sure smells good.'
'Thanks,' Kat and Kaida smiled.
'Your welcome.'
'Come on, lets go tell everyone that dinner is ready.' Kaida said, getting off the table. Kat turned pale. 'You go ahead..I don't feel very well.'
'You ok?'
'Yea. I'll just sleep it off.' Kat wrapped her arms around her stomach and slowly walked to go lay down.
Axel followed, a worried look on his face. 'Do you think she'll be ok?' Zexion asked Kaida.
'I think so, if she isn't I know a good doctor.' (hehe we can call House)(Ah...yay..You gotta admit Jesse Spencer is quite gorgeous)
Kat went and laid down on Axel's bed, Axel walked in an sat in the chair beside her. 'Do you need anything?'
'Not at the moment, thanks though.' Kat whispered, dosing off. Axel kissed her forehead and watched her sleep.
-back in the lounge-
The guys who were playing, well, attempting to play, Guitar Hero, were welcomed by the wonderful aroma of Kaida and Kat's cooking.
They went into the mess hall and crowded around the food, there eyes wide. 'Can we eat now?' Jon asked, not even noticing that they were missing two people.
'Yea,' Zexion said.
Roxas walked up to the two. 'Where are Kat and Axel, do you know?'
'Kat wasn't feeling to well, so she went to lay down for a bit. Axel went to take care of her.
'Oh, well, I hope she feels better.'
'Yea, us too.' Zexion agreed.
About four hours later Kat woke up and started walking to the kitchen.
'Kat, are you ok?' She turned to face the pyro.
'Yes Axel, I'm fine.'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes' She winced and grabbed her stomach. Axel shot her a worried look. She took his face between her hands. 'I'm fine. Promise. I've gone to school feeling worse than this. If it makes you feel any better after I eat I'm going back to sleep. I'll be fine.'
He sighed. 'Ok. If you say so.'
She smiled and grabbed his hand. 'You hungry? I know you skipped dinner.'
'Yea, kinda.'
'Ok. Leftovers for you and Ramen for me.'
-two and a half days later-
'OMG!' yelled one of Demyx's boiz, he threw the Guitar Hero controller on the ground. 'I'll never get the hang of this game. And the frikin competition is in 5 hours!'
'Well, you have the smashing a guitar part down.' Demyx muttered. None of his group could play the wretched game. Demyx sighed.
Kat, who was feeling much better went up to him, 'Dem, whats wrong?'
'None of them know how to play this stupid game. We're going to blow the competition.'
'Come on, it can't be that bad.'
Demyx raised an eyebrow at Kat. She looked at Xaldin attempting Guitar Hero. 'O. Never mind.' She turned to face Demyx. 'Well, you're really good. You probably can get enough points to win.'
He sighed again and hugged Kat, 'Thanks.'
'Your welcome. And it could be worse. It could be Karaoke Revolution.'
'O.' -twitch- 'Your right.'
Kat laughed and walked over to sit by Kaida to re-read Eclipse
The second KAt sat down the two noone wanted to see appeared.
'Ok people/ Its time for the competion!' Emily clapped. Everyone groned as they saw and/or heard the two siblings.
'Everyone will each have their own screen,' Anna was saying, Emily continued, 'There will be two sections of this competition. We have chosen two songs that each group will play: Sweet Child o' Mine and Psychobilly Freakout. For the first section you will play Sweet Child o' Mine and for the other section you will play Psychobilly Freakout.
'Your monitors and controllers have your names on them. Which ever two teams have the lowest score will be removed from the competition. Get ready...begin.'
The four teams picked up their controllers and started on the first song . Five minutes later Anna and Emily walked infront of everyone, taking down their scores. 'Ok,' Emily looked at her clipboard, 'Kaida and Zexion are in the lead with Kat and Riku following. Axel and Roxas are next, and Demyx and his boiz are following close behind.'
Anna cleared her throat. 'Choose the next song and when I say begin. Begin.' Everyone quickly scrolled through the game and chose . 'Begin.'
Music resounded in the hall. Colours flashed on the screen. And when the songs were over, everyone set down their controllers.
Anna walked by and wrote down everyone's scores.
A few minutes when by until she announced, 'Ok. Drum roll please!! The winner for the competition is..."
A large drum rolled past Anna and Emily. They sighed and rolled their eyes, 'Not what we meant Jon!' Jon quickly hid his notebook, whistling.
'Anyways. We're sorry guys, but, Axel and Demyx, your teams are eliminated. You both were very close, but it seems that Kat and Kaida's teams had a larger score.'
Axel and Roxas nodded their heads in understanding.
Demyx sighed and a thought flashed through his mind, 'I'm going to frikin kill those four!' Kaida snickered.
'Kaida and Zexion, you both took second place. It seems that Kat and Riku beat you by a minuscule 100 points. Congratulations on making it in the next round!'
Emily stepped forward, 'Kat, Riku, great job! You won!'
Riku high-fived Kat, who was smiling, 'Awesome.'
'We'll be back in four days to inform you of the next challenge...' And with that, they disappeared.
Everyone walked off the stage. Demyx walked over to Kaida and Kat, who were talking, and put his arms around their shoulders.
'Heyyy, guys!'
'You okay, Demy?' Kaida inquired.
'Yeah, I'm good.'
Kat looked at Kaida with a 'please-read-his-mind-and-really-tell-us-whats-going-on-in-that-brain-of-his'-look
Kaida smiled and a few seconds later, laughed.
'Dem, you can hang with us.'
Demyx sighed, relieved.
'We don't want you to kill your 'boiz'.
Axel and Zexion snickered at this comment.
Demyx's eyes opened wide. 'How did you know that?!'
The four stared at him with the look of 'how-can-you-not-know-this-she's-a-telepath-you-baka'.
'What?!'
'Starts with a T...ends with elepathic.' Axel said, rolling his eyes.
Demyx sounded the word out for a few minutes.. T eleh pathic? ...teleh patic...? tuh...elepathic?' He gasped, 'Telepathic?'
Zexion and Axel laughed.
'Yes, it is so...'
'Took you a while,' Axel thought.
Kaida glared at him, 'Be nice.'
He shrugged, innocently, 'What?! I didn't say it!'
'Huh?' Demyx asked confused.
'Nothing Demyx, why don't you go play the playstation? I think I have some new games over there.' Kat suggested.
'Ok!!'
Kat sighed. 'I'm bored. I'm going to the music room anyone want to come?'
'Sure.' Kaida agreed. She turned to the guys. 'You both wanna come?'
'I'll come, Axel?' Zexion turned to the pyro.
'Why not?' He shrugged, 'I know how to play the drums.'
'We can each grab a different instrument and play something.'
'Sure.'
They all walked to the music room, Axel taking drums, Kaida taking electric guitar, Zexion taking bass, and Kat on piano.
'What song?' Zexion asked.
'Do you know Face Down?' Kat asked.
Zexion shook his head. 'I don't but I could fake it after about an eight count.'
Axel had started playing and Kaida was smirking so Kat knew they knew it.
'Awesome. Ready guys?' They all started singing and playing
Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say your right again,
Say your right again
Heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down a new life she has.
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
Its coming round again.
Its coming round again.
Do you feel like a man, when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has.
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Face down in the dirt she says, this doesn't hurt she says I finally had enough..
Leaving the guys out of the loop the two girls immediately switched to 'Stand My Ground' after they finished 'Facedown'
After a few hours playing music, battling, and just horsing around, the four went to see what the others were up to. Axel said something extremely hilarious that included the words; 'blue, cookie, Xemnas, and extremely disturbing!'. All four burst into laughter. Kat had tears in her eye she was laughing so hard. They walked into the lounge and were engulfed in darkness. Everyone stopped laughing. Never had the lounge been completely quiet...or really ever empty. 'Kai,' Kat wondered, 'Is anyone here?' 'No.' She frowned, 'No one is here. The only person I can get a reading on is Roxas. And, they aren't exactly close by.' 'Can you tell where they are?' Axel asked. Kaida thought for a moment, 'From what I can tell, they are in The Land of the Dragons.'
'Oh.'
'Wanna teleport there?'
'Sure...its easier than opening a portal.'
'Form a circle.'
Axel was already holding Kats hand, same with Zexion and Kaida. Kat took Kaida's hand and Axel took Zexion's. A circle was formed.
'Ready?'
'Yea.'
A cold shock pulsed through the air. And, an extremely faint -snap- greeted the teleporters and the missing group, who were eating.
Kairi screamed at the appearance of the four teens and jumped into Jon's arms. Doing so, her elbow found his plate of food, it was catapulted through the air then fell and landed on his head. Jon fell out of his chair and hit the ground. Everyone but Kairi and Jon laughed.
'Liek, you scared the mess out of me!' Kairi complained tearing up.
Jon mumbled and took a soggy notebook out of his pocket. He scribbled in it, and the food disappeared from his hair and clothing.
Kat turned and looked at Roxas, 'Why did you all leave without telling us?' 'Why?' He looked slightly embarrassed, 'Well, we looked everywhere for you four. We couldn't find you. Everyone was starving... and...you four are the only ones who can cook. Sorry, Correction. You three are the only ones who can cook.'
'HEY!' Axel pouted.
'Its Ok Aku.' Kat said, patting his back.
Kaida just coughed trying not to laugh.
'Well, we're done. Do you guys want anything?' Roxas asked.
Kat and Kaida looked at each other. 'Nah, we can cook later if we get hungry.' Kaida answered.
'Hey isn't it movie night?' Demyx asked. (gah...Dem...gotta bring everything up. eh?)
'Girls pick the movie tonight. The guys got last time!' Kairi complained.
'Uh oh.' Kaida thought. ' Its going to be a pink and frilly movie.'
Kat coughed to cover a laugh and Kaida smiled.
'Kairi. I have a movie. Tristan and Isolde. Traditional tear jerker. Tres, tres romantic.' Kat supplied.
'Of course its also one of the most violent movies I've ever watched...' she thought to Kai.
'Ok!!' Kairi agreed. Everyone teleported to the castle and fixed popcorn drinks, ect. And grumbling Jon put in the movie. 'Stupid chick flick. I can't believe we have to watch this.'!
Jon then went and sat in a small chair so Kairi couldn't sit with him. Not that there was any room on the couch. Kat, Axel, Kaida, and Zexion had taken it.
Kairi , and sometimes Namine, squeeled five times in the first ten minutes of the movie. When the rabbit was killed, Marc's hand was cut off, ect.
'I thought you said this was a romance!' Kairi complained.
'Oh, get over it. So a few hands flew. Doesn't mean its not a romance. I'll get there he has to 'die' first.'
'What?'
'Just watch.'
The group continued to watch the movie When it got to 'I'm yours.' 'My dear didn't you know? He is his king's champion.' Kat was crying silently. She turned her face into Axel's chest.
'Are you crying?'
'Shut up Axel. Its sad.'
'No its not.'
Zexion looked at Kaida, hoping she wasn't crying. She wasn't. He sighed, relieved. Kaida looked at Zexion and laughed, 'What?' she thought to him, 'Do you not like crying?' He shrugged and slightly blushed. Kaida smiled and they looked over at Kat, who's face was buried into Axel's shirt, which was slightly damp. Kaida and Zexion burst into semi-silent laughter, probably because Axel had the weirdest expression on his face. Kat turned to her friends, stuck out her tongue, grabbed her bag, wrote something in her note book, and disappeared.
'Where did she go?' Zexion asked.
Kaida sighed. 'I'll be right back.' She disappeared, leaving the two guys with a bewildered expression upon their faces.
Kaida found Kat on the roof, leaning against one of the spires. She didn't look up from her sketchbook when Kaida walked over. She squatted near her. 'Kat-chan, whats wrong?'
Kat kept drawing, and her hair fell in-front of her eyes, so she moved it behind her ear. Thats when Kaida noticed her headphones. Kaida poked Kat, who jumped and pulled her headphones out. 'Kai! You scared me.' (hehe...-lepoke-)
Kaida smiled, 'Well, if I hadn't poked you, you would have never noticed I was here.'
She laughed, 'True.'
'So..' Kaida sat cross-legged by her friend. ' What's wrong?
Kat looked innocently at Kaida, 'What do you mean?'
'Why did you leave? You looked upset.'
Kat smiled, 'Oh, that.' she set her notebook down, 'I don't know, romance movies always give me mood swings.'
Kaida quirked an eyebrow at Kat, 'Why?'
'I really don't know,' She shrugged, 'I'm a dork.'
'I need a real reason.'
Kat smiled, 'That is a real reason.'
They both laughed.
Would you feel better if I left and got Axel to come up here?'
Kat thought a moment. 'Nah, I'm fine. I'll be down after I finish this. My Zen's battery is almost dead too.'
'Ok. See ya later.'
Kat nodded, but Kaida couldn't tell if it was in acknowledgment or to the music.
'She ok?' Kaida nodded and sat with Zexion.
'Yea she's fine. Just needs some alone time'
'Where is she?' Axel asked.
'On the roof.'
'Why?'
'I dunno..maybe she likes heights?'
'...' ('-.-)
Kat poofed back into the room (hehe for lack of a better word...)
'Ok so we watched a movie. What are we going to do now?'
'You Ok?' Axel asked.
'Um yea...Why wouldn't I be?'
'Because you left crying after we laughed at you.'
'Huh? Oh, that. If I cried every time I get laughed at I would never be smiling.'
Zexion looked doubting at Kat, 'Uh, Huh.'
'What?'
'Nothing.'
Kat looked at Kaida, who shrugged.
'Hmm. anyone up for a game of..' Kat trailed off.
'True or dare?' Axel questioned.
'That'll be great!' Kaida exclaimed.
Kat looked at her with the expression of, 'Nani?' (AN: It mans 'what' in japanese)
Zexion and Axel burst into laughter, 'OMG! We'll have to do that!'
Kat glared, 'Someone tell me!'
Kaida messaged Kat in her head. Kat exploded with laughter.
The guys were in the floor choking. 'He's going to hate us.'
'I know, but it'll be great.'
'Roxas come here sil'vous plait.' Kat called.
'Yea?' he walked over. Kaida grinned in his direction and he started cracking up
'I can do that.' he stuck his head in to the other room where the others were. 'Kairi, why don't you and Jon come play truth or dare.'
'Oh!!! Come on JON!!!!' Kairi drug the unwilling victim to the...erm we mean, drug the unwilling Jon into the room.
'Why do I have to play?' Jon whined, crossing his arms and pouting.
'Are you pouting Jon?'
Jon quickly changed his pose. 'Nope...what made you--uh--say that? But why am I playing?'
'Because.' Kaida said sternly.
'Everyone else is.'
'Oh.'
'Ok, who shall go first?
'Um...I can.' Sora offered.
Zexion and Axel were still choking.
Kat and Kaida glared in the guys direction. They stopped laughing and took a deep breath.
'Ok, Sora. Who do you choose?'
'Um. True or dare...' He looked over at Riku. 'Riku'
'Dare'
'I dare you to...' Sora stopped. Siax whispered something into his ear. Zexion and Axel stifled a laugh.
Sora chuckled, 'I dare you to stand on the nearest table and moonwalk to Michael Jackson's Thriller.'
The two authoresses gasped.
Their boyfriends turned to look at them, with a questioning look on their face. Their eyes widened. That horrible memory flooded back into the boy's brains. When Riku climbed on the table they hid the girl's eyes in their chest.
'Well,' Axel laughed, 'That, Riku, suits you really well.'
Riku blushed then growled. 'Ok, -er-. Larxene. Truth or Dare.'
'Truth.' she crossed her arms.
Kaida started laughing. Riku looked at her grinning.
'Do you play with anything unusual? For example: Barbies... Bratz...' Riku trailed off.
Larxene stood up and growled, 'I don't have to play this game.'
Marluxia pulled Larxene back down on the floor. 'You are going to play. If you didn't want to before...you shouldn't have said you were. Now, answer the question.'
Everyone stared at the now commanding Mar.
Larxene growled.
'You have to answer truthfully, too. I'll know otherwise.' Kaida said.
'Yes.' Larxene muttered.
"What?' Riku asked, 'I didn't hear that.'
'Yes.' Larxene said louder.
'Axel and Zexion stifled a laugh.
'What is it though? You have to tell us what.'
'My little ponies.' she muttered.
Axel and Zexion choked. the girls hit them on the backs. 'What Larxene?'
'My little ponies!' She stood up and stormed out.
O.O
Everyone started laughing. When they all could breathe again, Kaida spoke. 'Since Larxene left I guess I'll ask if thats ok with everyone.' Everyone agreed so Kaida looked around the circle. 'Jon, Truth or dare...'
Jon, having seen what they asked Larxene opted for a dare.
'Dare.'
'Ok, I dare you to...' Kaida smirked. Seeing this, Jon whimpered. 'I dare you to kiss Kairi.' Kairi squealed with joy.
'WHAT? I won't.
'I wasn't finished you baka.'
'O...' Worridly, Jon started tapping his fingers on his arm.
'On the cheek.'
Jon sighed. 'Well, that makes it a little better.' He stood up and walked to Kairi. She turned her head so that he could reach her cheek. Just as he was an inch away from her cheek, Kairi whipped her face around and his lips met hers. Jon's eyes widened and he jumped back, wiping his face off. 'Ewwww...' He said, groaning. Jon ran away moaning and chugging Listerene while Kairi stood up and skipped away happily. 'Ok...I guess Kai is going to ask again...' Kat commented dryly.
'Oh no she's not! After that you two owe me!' Jon called walking to the circle where everyone was sitting.
'Ok Jon, then go.' Kaida said.
'Kat, Kaida, Truth or Dare?' The two girls looked at each other and grinned 'heh, baka forgot I can read minds.' 'Yup. His anger and stupidity are our best allies at the moment.' Kat thought back.
'Dare' The two girls said in unison.
'I dare you to...Hn, Kiss Axel and Zexion.' The two girls shrugged and kissed their guys. When they didn't stop after about five seconds Jon lost it. 'Auhg! The world hates me!'
Axel and Zexion laughed. 'Well, not really. Thanks for the dare.'
Kat and Kaida grinned. 'Its our turn now...' The two girls had a mini conversation in their heads.
'Kai, they're going to hate us...'
'So...it'll be funny.'
'True.'
Finally Kaida spoke aloud.
'Zexion, Axel, Truth or dare?'
'Dare.' Zexion answered.
'You have to...'
-A few minutes later-
'You just had to say dare didn't you.'
'Shut up and lets get this over with'
Axel: I'm too sexy for my hair too sexy for my hair
And it ain't going nowhere
I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt So sexy it hurts
And I'm too sexy for a match too sexy for a match
Lighter fluid and -something-that-rhymes-with-match-
And I'm too sexy for this game
Too sexy for this game
Cause I am the flame.
Axel started walking around the room. After every step or to he'd make a different pose. I'm a model you know what I mean And I do my little turn on the catwalk Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah I do my little turn on the catwalk. Axel stopped walking and dropped to his knees, making a dramatic gesture to Zexion for him to start singing. Zexion made the superhero pose and started singing.
Zexion: I'm too sexy for my books, too sexy for my books
Can't you tell by my looks?
And I'm too sexy for my hair Too sexy for hair so, girls, whatcha think about this dare?
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah

I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my--- Axel then joined in.
Both: 'Cos We are models you know what we mean And we do our little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk
yeah we shake our little tushies on the catwalk
Axel: I'm too sexy for my Kat, too sexy for my Kat
My dear, dear Kat
Zexion: I'm too sexy for my Fallen too sexy for my Fallen (aka. Kaida)
Look whose ballin' He makes the ballin' move, which is, shooting a pretend basketball in the air into an imaginary hoop.
Both: And we're too sexy for this song!
They both drop on the floor in a pose.
Both of the guys turned to face Kat and Kaida. Their eyes were huge. Zexion stood up and walked over them; he waved a hand across their faces. "Hello?"
"How was that for the outcome of a dare?" Axel questioned.
"That...Was. Absolutely." Kat started
"Insanely. Hilarious." Kaida started laughing.
Everyone else just stated at the two 'modeling dancers'. -for lack of a better term at the moment-
-In the hallway-
Kairi was chasing after Jon. "Come on Jon! It wasn't that bad. Please, will you kiss me again? I really really like you..."
"No, Kairi. I don't like you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you."
She stopped from walking fast. "Yea,"
"Yes, dang it. I hate you!"
"Yea, but you still think I'm hott..."
Jon gagged. Kairi squealed. The models danced. The authoresses laughed. The chapter ended.
And. The people commented?
---------
Sorry this chapter took so long; School started and such...
The next chapter is going to be the outtakes... -yay- Prepare for some more insanity... \m/(v.v)\m/
