Author's Note: It's finally the moment everyone's been waiting for…the prom chapter!!!!! Read and review por favor! Also, this story has a few more chapters left and then it'll be over, but I'll start the sequel ASAP. I also have two other stories on the website right now, so I may not get the sequel started right away because I want to work on my others first. Anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 27: The PromI had just woken up to my pain in the ass alarm clock only to find that school has been cancelled due to a power outage. I'm really hoping the power comes back in time for the prom. Tonight was going to be one of the greatest nights in my life. Since school was cancelled, I had the whole day to get ready for the prom. I walked into my bathroom and took a shower and then came back out to look for something to wear. I looked in my closet, nothing. I couldn't find anything to wear. All of these garments were casual and we were supposed to dress up for the prom. Looked like I was going shopping.
I called Namine and asked her if she'd come to the mall with me to help pick out a prom dress. She agreed also because she didn't have anything to wear either. I hung up and then headed next door to Sora's house. I rang the doorbell. When he answered it, I dragged him out of his house to go shopping. Sora hated going shopping for clothes with me because I usually take forever to find something. Namine said she was bringing Roxas along as well. I hopped in Sora's car and he drove to the mall.
" Okay, which store should we start at?" I asked as we walked into the mall.
" Video Game Headquarters. I finally got my parents to buy me a Playstation 3!" Sora quickly replied. (A/N: I want a PS3 so bad! My parents are so evil! They won't get me one for Xmas!)
" Sora, we're here to shop for the prom. Not for video games. You can get your PS3 later." I grabbed his hand and dragged him to one of the clothing stores. " We'll start here and hopefully we'll find something in here."
" Kairi!" I turned around and saw Namine dragging Roxas behind her.
" I guess Roxas didn't want to come shopping either." I laughed.
" Men. They never understand the times when their girlfriends need to shop for good-looking clothing." Namine rolled her eyes.
" What!" Sora and Roxas both questioned us. We just laughed and pulled them into the store. We looked around a bit and found a few dresses to try on.
" Okay, we're going to try these on, so just wait out there." I said as we walked in.
I got changed and tried on one of the dresses. It was sparkly black and it went down to my feet. I twirled around a bit and showed Namine. She liked it a bit. I then went out and showed Sora, but as I did, I tripped over it because it went down to my feet. I made my decision to not get it. I then tried on another one. It was sparkly, light blue. It went down to my knees, so it was descent. I went out to show Sora, but he wasn't there.
" Sora?" I asked.
" Yeah?"
" Where are you?"
" In the men's dressing rooms. I found an outfit I could where to the prom." Sora said from the rooms.
" Show it to me first." Sora then stepped out in an "Elvis Presley" like outfit. He also wore gold sunglasses over his eyes.
" Hey, baby." Sora did an Elvis imitation.
" Very funny. You're not wearing that." I pushed him back into the men's dressing rooms.
" But it's cool." He whined.
" I'm not going to the prom with Elvis Presley." I said firmly.
" You're not!"
" You look like Elvis with spiky hair."
" Fine, I'll just wear the tux I have at home." Sora mumbled from the dressing rooms. He came out and saw what I picked out.
" What do you think?" I asked as I twirled around a bit.
" Beautiful." Sora looked like he was lost in a dream.
" Okay, I'll get this one." And with that, I changed, paid for the dress, and then went with Sora to get his PS3.

I took one more shower before the prom just in case I ended up dirty during the day. I got out and changed into my prom dress. My hair, it just had to be pulled into a ponytail, so I pulled it into a ponytail. I also put on some lip-gloss just to give them a little color. Then, I put on the white high heels I finally found earlier in my closet. As I heard the doorbell ring, my mom told me that Sora and my friends were here. I took one last look at myself and thought I was good enough. I walked down the stairs to where Namine and our boyfriends were waiting.
" So, you guys ready?" I asked them.
" Let's hit that party!" Roxas cheered.
" Have a good time, Kairi." My mom said.
" Thanks, Mom." I was about to walk out the door when Sora covered my eyes with his hands.
" Don't look, yet. I've got this awesome surprise for you."
" Sora, you're going to kill me are you?"
" No, but you may have a heart attack when you see this." After walking a few steps, he opened his hands. " Okay, open your eyes." He was right, I was about to have a heart attack when I saw…a limo!
" You bought a limo?" I asked in shock.
" Nah, my dad rented it."
We all got in the limo. We weren't going to pick up Selphie and Riku because Selphie's date was driving her and Riku was driving his date to the prom. Their dates were just some people we didn't know. We finally arrived at the school after a 15 minute drive. It sounded wild! It was. All of the seniors were going crazy in there. The music was loud. It was just wild. I went over and saw Selphie dancing next to guy with black hair with baggy purple clothing.
" Hey, Selph." I greeted Selphie.
" Hey, Kai."
" So, who's your date?" I asked. I've been dying to meet him.
" That guy over there, Miroku." Selphie pointed to the same guy she was dancing with.
" How'd you get Miroku to go out with you?" Namine asked in shock.
" I-I don't know, actually. But anyway, he is such an awesome guy. Miroku, over here!" Selphie signaled. Miroku came walking over with his arms crossed. " Miroku, these are the friends I told you about."
" Cool." He simply said.
" Okay, we're gonna go, now." Selphie said as she walked off with Miroku.
" So, when do you plan on having your slow dance with Sora?" Namine asked me as we went to get some punch.
" I don't know, I'll wait for the perfect song. Actually, I do know the perfect song."
" Which one is that?"
" Well, you see, in Mexico, when Sora and I had our first kiss, the song, "Kissing You" by Desiree came on and it was such a good song. I'm hoping they play the instrumental version of the song." I blushed as I told my story for some reason.
" You mean, you're hoping they play the music only?" Namine asked as she took a sip of punch.
" Yeah, it'd be nice to have a relaxing dance like that. With no singing, or talking. Just music."
Sora's POV
" So, which song do you plan on dancing to with Kairi?" Roxas asked me as we danced near our dates.
" Kairi is hoping they play the instrumental version of "Kissing You" by Desiree. They played that song during our first kiss."
" Oh, and do you know who Riku came with to the prom?"
" Who?" I asked in a confused tone.
" Sango, the girl with long, black hair that's in our P.E. class."
" Are you sure he came with Sango and not Tifa."
" Positive. He came with the shorter girl who has lighter skin than Tifa." Roxas described the girl to me.
" Yep, that's definitely Sango." I then glanced over at the DJ and was curious. " Hold on a sec." I walked up to the DJ. " Hey, can you play this, soon." I pointed to the song I wanted him to play. He nodded and got a disc ready for one of the upcoming songs.
" What were you doing up there?" Roxas asked as I came back to the dance floor.
" Just a song request." I walked over to where Riku was because for some reason he wasn't with his date. " Riku, what're you doing alone? Didn't you come with Sango?"
" Yeah, but she had to use the restroom." Riku then looked at his watch. " Damn, what is taking her so long? How long does it possibly take for a girl to go to the bathroom?"
" Maybe it's that time of month for her if you know what I mean?" Roxas suggested.
" Eww!" Riku and I both said.
Kairi's POV
I was still dancing with Namine when Sora and Roxas came to join us. I also saw Selphie waiting somewhere nearby us. She wasn't with Miroku for some reason. It looked like she was waiting for him impatiently because she was walking back and forth nonstop I told my friends I'd be right back after visiting Selphie.
" Selphie, where's Miroku?" I asked as I walked up to Selphie.
" He's in the bathroom, but he's taking forever. Usually it's girls that take forever to go, but men? That's not right."
" That's weird. Riku said that his date, Sango went into the bathroom and is taking forever."
" Okay, we have to investigate." Selphie said firmly. We then walked over to where the others were. " Riku, we need to investigate on what is taking Miroku and Sango so long just to use the restroom!" We pulled Riku and went around looking for their dates and we found them on the dance floor dancing together!
" Sango!" Riku yelled in shock.
" Miroku!" Selphie also yelled in shock.
" What're you doing with him?"
" What're you doing with her?"
" Umm, well, you see it's kind of, um, weird…and kind of funny." Miroku began to laugh.
" The only thing funny is when you feel the wrath of my slap on your face."
" What?" Miroku asked confused. Selphie then slapped him across the face and left a mark.
" Sango? Why?" Riku asked disappointed.
" I'm, sorry, Riku." With that, Riku walked away from Sango and Miroku. I followed the both of them.
" Come on, guys. You don't need dates to have fun at the prom." I said trying to cheer them up.
" I guess you're right." Selphie said with a grin forming. " But I was really hoping that Miroku was the right one." I sighed. And then, the song I was hoping they'd play, came on. They lowered the disco ball and began to play the soft and slow music. (A/N: They're playing the same song they did in chapter 21 except there's only music instead of singing.)
" Kairi, would you like to dance?" Sora asked as he held out his hand.
I took it and we moved out onto the dance floor. I placed my arms around his neck and Sora wrapped his arms around my waist holding me close to him as we slowly danced to the music. I kind of felt bad for Selphie and Riku. Dumped at their prom? That's harsh! Since we were dancing near them, I could hear what they were saying if they were talking. They weren't, but a few seconds later, Selphie broke the silence. I listened to what they were saying.
" Well, I guess we both got dumped tonight. I didn't even like Miroku." Selphie said walking closer to Riku.
" Yeah. Listen, I don't know why I brought Sango. I didn't even like her either."
" I guess coincidentally, we both brought dates that we didn't like." Selphie laughed a bit.
" Yeah, I guess you just went out with Miroku to make me jealous." Riku then laughed.
" What! No I didn't!" Selphie said that so loud that everyone stopped dancing and watched her make a scene. " Maybe YOU went out with Sango to make ME jealous!"
" I certainly did not! You just won't admit it because you like me!"
" No! You like me!"
" No! You like me!" Riku backfired.
" No! You like me!"
" NO! YOU LIKE ME!"
" NO!!!! YOU LIKE ME!!!!!!!" Selphie yelled at the top of her lung and before she knew it, Riku pulled her into a passionate kiss. Everyone gasped and Sora fainted. I had trouble catching Sora when he fainted, so he basically fell on top of me.
" Kai, you all right?" Sora asked as he got off of me and helped me up.
" Yeah, thanks." I took his hand and got up. We watched Selphie break the kiss and just stare in shock. Riku did the same.
" Whoa, I guess we like each other." Riku chuckled a bit.
" Yeah, I guess so." Selphie grinned and blushed.
" What're you all looking at! Go on! Finish your dancing!" Riku said to everyone else. I went back to my slow dancing with Sora.
" I wonder if we'll ever yell at each other like that?" I asked him.
" We might have a little one. But if we do, we'll make up easily." Sora grinned.
" Right." I agreed. " Hey, Sora. Promise me that even if you're away form me, that I'm always with you. Promise me that you'll remember that."
" I promise." Sora then kissed me.
" No making out." One of the adult chaperones said to use. Sora then quickly broke away.
" Sorry." We both said. I just then rested my head on Sora's shoulder and relaxed. This was definitely the best night of my life.
