Chapter16: Betrayel or betrayed
(A/N: Btw, I'm starting off from the day before the Destiny Islands Trip so hope you don't get confused)
"Ah, Its good to be back home," said Phoebe as she went into her house. The butlers and maidens went to retrieve the Sanchez's luggage. "Well, dear. We're going to go to the office and set some things so we might be back late. Make sure you sleep early because you wouldn't want to be late for you're big trip tomorrow," said Mrs Sanchez.
"I know mum. I'm not 5 years old. I know what I should do,"
"I know, sweetie. But you'll always be my little girl,"
"Mum, don't talk like that. Now, hurry! Go with dad and I'll see you later, bye!" Phoebe then ran to her room and flopped on the bed. Now what? Maybe I should check if the others are back? I wonder if Riku's back already? She took out her cell from her handbag and dialed her boyfriends number. 'The number you have dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later' "What is wrong with his phone? Oh yeah. He's in the Amazon and there is no signal there," said Phoebe to herself.
She thought for a while and decided to call her cousin. She dialed her number and waited for the call to be received.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Mitch. Wassup?"
"Oh, hey Phoebs. Nothing much. You?"
"I'm fine. Just got back from Hawaii," said Phoebe. Just then, she heard horse neighing and people shouting near Michelle. "Mitch, what's with all the yelling and horse sounds?"
"Oh, I'm horseback riding now. My friends are with me,"
"Hi, whoever you are," said a voice from behind.
"Oh," said Phoebe questionly. "Umm..hi?"
"That was Mulan. This is Mushu,"
"What's happenin girl?"
"Hey Mushu,"
"And this is Crikee,"
Just then a cricket sound was heard. It was soft but Phoebe heard it clearly. "Nice to meet you Crikee,"
"That's all so how was Hawaii?"
Phoebe then began telling her cousin everything about Hawaii. About her ohana there and how she helped David and Nani's engagement. Michelle laughed when Phoebe told her about Aunt Pleakley falling and 'her' wig coming off. "Seems like you have an intresting 'ohana',"
"I know. It sounds like they're a bunch of freaks but they're alright,"
Just then, chinese voices were heard coming from Michelle's side. "Umm..Mitch, what's with all those chinese voices?" asked Phoebe with curiousity.
"Oh, that's the rest at the back. I'm horse riding remember?"
"Yeah but chinese voices?"
"Duh. What language do you expect people that live in China to talk with?"
"CHINA? What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't you know?" asked Michelle. "I'm in China now,"
"What? You're in China? Why didn't you tell me earlier. You know how much one call costs? Talk to you when you get back, Mitch. Bye!" and with that, Phoebe hung up and checked her credit. "Urgh, thanks a lot Mitch. 5 bucks on one call!" yelled the girl in frustration.
She then looked at her watch. "Gee, what am I going to do today? I've packed for tomorrow already so I have the whole day with nothing to do. Maybe I should call the rest, ask if their here," Phoebe then grabbed her cell and dialed every single person on her cell. Everyone she called either was away on vacation or just not at home. She was about to give up when she reached the last person on her phonebook...Zexion. She pressed the dial call and waited for him to answer.
"Talk to me,"
"Hey, Zexion. Wait! Before we talk, where are you now?"
"I'm at my room,"
"No, I mean WHERE are you? In Twilight Town?"
"Umm...yea,"
"Twilight Town as in our Twilight Town?"
"Yup,"
"Where we go to school Twilight Town?"
"Uhuh,"
"Are you sure you're in Twi-,"
"Yes, Phoebe. I'm in Twilight Town," said Zexion sounding annoyed. "Sorry," replied Phoebe. "Just needed to make sure so I don't waste my credit. What are you doing?"
"Just got back home with Hayner and Olette,"
"Really? When I tried to call them, the service was unavailable. I thought they were still on vacation,"
Zexion sighed. "I bet they're out somewhere making out or something. You should have seen them in Africa. It was like thier honeymoon or something," Phoebe laughed. Imagining that was preety hilarious for her. "Hey Zexion. Are you free later on?" asked the young Sanchez.
"Yeah. Why?"
"You want to go out or something? I got the whole day free and I want to do something before we leave tomorrow,"
"Wait! Are you asking me out on a date?"
Phoebe could tell that Zexion was smirking there and she rolled her eyes. "I have a boyfriend. What do you think? But you can call it whatever you want. I prefer it to be called an outing with one of my best friends,"
"Ookay.. What time?"
"How about at 8. We could go catch a flick and then go eat dinner?"
"Sure. I'll pick you up at 8,"
"Okay, bye. See you later,"
"Ciao,"
Phoebe hung up and started getting ready for her outing. She looked at her watch and noticed she had 2 hours till Zexion came to pick her up. Maybe I should look nice for him. I mean you always have to dress nicely on dates eventhough its not with you're boyfriend. Why do I want to look nice for him anyway? Its Zexion. My roommate. Who sees me wearing my spongebob squarepants shirt when I'm studying. Still, it wouldn't hurt to look nice for him...
Phoebe went to her closet and rummaged through her outfits. She decided to wear a spaghetti strap black dress that stopped just above her knees with a white jacket on top. She then thought about how to do her hair. She decided an up-do with some of her front hair falling down. She put her clothes on her bed and went to the bathroom. She turned on the water and took a quick shower. After that, she blowdried her hair and put on her dress.
She did her hair and put on some acceseries. Finally, some finishing touches with the make up and she was done. DING-DONG. "Wow. Right on time," said Phoebe as she checked her watch. She went to the door and opened it. "Hey Zexion,"
"Hi, wow, you look different today. You wore this all for me. How sweet,"
"Not just for you. I like to look nice whenever I go out,"
"Oh yeah. A girl thing,"
"Very funny," said Phoebe and looked over Zexion's shoulder. "Where's you're car?"
"Oh, I left it at home. I thought it would be nice if we walked. Plus, you need the exercise. You're starting to gain weight,"
"Gee, what a nice compliment for a girl. I have been walking my whole vacation. From Hawaii till here. My feet are killing me,"
Zexion laughed and held her hand. "Come on, the walk will keep you healthy. Plus, it would be more romantic," Phoebe blushed and followed Zexion out of her house. During the walk, Phoebe was still blushing that Zexion was holding her hand. She then saw that Zexion was wearing the key she gave him. "Hey, you're wearing it,"
"It?"
"The key,"
Zexion held it and smirked. "It was given to me by an angel. How could I not wear it," Phoebe giggled and smiled. Gosh, its really sweet of him to wear it. I guess its really important to him. "So, any movies in mind?" asked the silver haired guy, finally letting go of her hand after realising he was holding it the whole time. "How about you pick the movie this time and I'll pick it next time?" asked Phoebe.
"Deal. I'll pay for the tickets while you pay for snacks?"
"No prob. I'm planning to eat a lot tonight,"
"I see. Just make sure not too much. Riku might not be pleased if he see's his girlfriend weighing 10 times the size of himself. He'll leave you alone and who is going to help you?"
"Hey! That is so not true. Riku loves me no matter what,"
"Right. You don't know the mind of a teenage boy. We can get perverted sometimes," Phoebe giggled and smacked Zexion playfully. They finally reached the theatre and Zexion went to the ticket stand. Phoebe went to the snack bar and looked over the goods. "Hey, sweet face. What can I get for you?" asked the seller. "Umm... yeah. I'd like two caramel popcorns, two sodas, one large Dairymilk bar and one packet of pretzels,"
"You're wish is my command gorgeous,"
"Umm...okay...,"
He quickly settled her order and placed the items on the counter. Phoebe took the money out of her purse and handed it to the seller. He took it and held her hand. Phoebe tried to pull back but the guy still held it firmly. "Umm...could you please let go of my hand?"
"Why? Do I make you feel nervous in anyway, baby?"
"No, just let go. I want to wach the movies,"
"Aww come on. Stay here and talk. We could get to know each other and who knows? We'll see how it goes,"
Phoebe glared at him and tried to break free but he just held firmly. "Hey, she said let go," said a voice from behind her. "Buzz off dude. Can't you see I'm busy. If you want to order anything, go to the next counter. Now, where were we, honey. Oh yeah. How about we go out next Sunday. It will be a night for you to remember,"
"You shouldn't be treating you're customers like this. Besides, she's already taken," said Zexion and pulled her away from him. Phoebe nodded her head eagerly. "Oh yeah. By who?" asked the seller. Zexion smirked and put her arm around her. "By me. I'm her boyfriend," Phoebe's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. "Right honey?" said Zexion. Phoebe stared at him in confusion. He gave her a follow-my-lead look. Phoebe caught the drift and nodded. "That's right. He's my boyfriend alright. Yes siree,"
Zexion smiled and Phoebe coughed slightly. "That's too bad. If you weren't taken I would be sure to get you. Still, if you change you're mind, give me a call," said the seller. "She doesn't need you when she has me. Bye," said Zexion and hurried off with Phoebe and the snacks. "Right honey?" asked Phoebe anggrily.
"What? Don't tell me you wanted to get flirted with that dude?"
"Of course not but still you should have told him about Riku. You shouldn't have lied,"
"Oh come on, Phoebs. If I told him that, he wouldn't believe us and kept on flirting with you,"
Phoebe shrugged and rolled her eyes. Sometimes boys were hard to understand. "Whatever, lets forget about that. So, what movie did you choose?" asked the brunette. "Oh, I chose the Exorcism Of Emily Rose," replied Zexion with relaxation. Phoebe's eyes widened and she suddenly turned slightly pale. "What? Why that movie?" asked the girl anggrily.
"Hey, it was either that or Barney the movie? We could go there and be the only teens watching it if you want,"
"On second thought, the horror movie sounds good,"
"Don't worry. I don't think it'll be that scary. Chill, okay?"
Phoebe nodded nervously and gulped. Horror movies weren't exactly her thing. She walked in with Zexion and they went to their seats. Phoebe sat down and her teeth were chattering away. "Umm, Phoebs, are you okay?" asked Zexion with concern. Phoebe just looked at him with frightful eyes and smiled weakly. Zexion stared at her and smiled back. Maybe I should have bought the barney tickets...
The movie began and Phoebe tried to enjoy the movie, ignoring her fear. She was fine at first but the movie started getting creepier by the second. Phoebe used her jacket to cover her eyes but lowered it when she saw Zexion looking at her in a weird way. She tried calming her nerves by eating some popcorn but failed miserably. She couldn't seem to swallow the food down. Her throat was too dry. Her hands were shaking which also caused the popcorn to shake inside its bucket too.
"Umm, Phoebe? Are you cold or something?" asked Zexion.
"N-no. I'm ju-just not used t-to cold mo-movie thea-theatres,"
"Okay... If you say so," Just then, a shrilling scream came from the movie and Phoebe screamed along. She flung the backet and it landed on the man sitting beside her. Worse of all, it landed on his head. The man growled and slowly took the bucket off his head and slammed it into Phoebe. Phoebe laughed nervously and tried clearing the popcorn mess from the man. He just growled at her and Phoebe decided to stop doing what she was doing before he did something inhumane to her.
Zexion noticed her uneasiness and put his arm around her. He pushed her head onto his chest. Phoebe could hear the beat of his heart. Calm. She smiled and enjoyed the warmth of him and her fear reduced a little. Every single time, a scary scene came, Phoebe would burry her face into his chest and close her eyes. Zexion would tighten his grip, letting her know that he was there. Phoebe smiled. She liked the way Zexion comforted her. It made her feel safe.
Finally, the movie was over. They went out of the movie theatre and Zexion saw the candy counter seller looking at them. Zexion then remembered that they were supposed to act like a couple so he put his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek. Phoebe blushed because of the kiss and the fact that he was holding her. Zexion smirked as though he got what he wanted but he was actually enjoying the fact that he was holding her and he kissed her.
When they were on the sidewalk, Zexion was still holding her. "Ahem...," said Phoebe, trying to give Zexion the hint that she was a little uneasy although it was kind of nice. "Oh, sorry," said Zexion and snaked his arm off her. Phoebe just smiled weakly and remembered the kiss. "Hey, Zexion. Why'd you suddenly kiss my cheek?" asked the girl.
"Oh, its because the seller was looking at us," said a blushing Zexion. "And we were supposedly a couple to him, right? So, I just did that to make sure he remembered,"
"That's sweet Zexion. Thanks I guess. Oh, and next time, never ever make me watch a horror film ever. Do you hear me?"
"Loud and clear. It wasn't that scary though,"
Phoebe arched her eyebrows towards him. "What are you talking about. It was super scary. If I have nightmares, I blame you Zexion Montez!" Zexion laughed. Phoebe was still looking pale and he noticed her fear. He sighed and took off his jacket and covered her with it. "Huh? What are you doing Zexion?" asked the girl in confusion. "You look cold. Wear it. It suits you," said Zexion with a smile. Phoebe blushed and thanked him. He replied with a grin.
They finally reached the restaurant. They walked in and noticed not many people were there. They sat down. ordered their food and waited for their order to come. Meanwhile, Zexion was telling Phoebe many funny stories. She was laughing and giggling. Zexion smiled. He was glad that he made her forget about the movie. When their food arrived, they exchanged stories about their vacation. Phoebe laughed when Zexion told her that Timon and Pumba liked Olette and Hayner got jealous.
They had a good time. After they finished eating, Zexion looked around and noticed they were the only people there. "Wow, its nearly midnight already. Time flies by fast when you're having fun," said Phoebe.
"Yeah, so, do you want to go home now?"
"I guess. My parents would be worried sick and I don't want to be late for tomorrow,"
"Okay, why don't you wait outside while I'll pay for dinner," Phoebe nodded and walked out of the restaurant. Zexion soon joined her and they walked towards Phoebe's home. There was an awkward silence between them and Phoebe was a little scared. She went towards Zexion and held his hand. He looked at her in shock and saw the fear in her eyes. "C-Can I hold you're hand? I-I'm kind o-of scared," said Phoebe. Zexion smiled and nodded.
Phoebe somehow felt safer when she held his hand. She didn't know why but it was a nice feeling and she didn't want to let it go. Finally, they reached her house. "Thanks for tonight Zexion. I had fun. Eventhough the movie scared the guts out of me but it was a thrilling night I guess. We should do this again some other time,"
"Yeah, no prob. As long as you know what movie you would like to watch,"
"Yeah. I will. Well, see ya. Goodnight and don't be late for tomorrow,"
"Never in my life will I be late," Phoebe laughed and turned to go in. She then remembered that he kissed her cheek. She held it and smiled. She turned around and saw that Zexion was just about to exit her house. "Hey Zexion!" said Phoebe. He turned around and Phoebe gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She smiled and ran into her house, blushing. Zexion was shocked but he smiled. He left her house, beaming to himself. "Woops, nearly forgot my suprise," said the boy and turned back. He then placed a small box and rang her doorbell.
He then quickly ran off and Phoebe opened the door. She saw the box and picked it up. It had her name engraved on it and Phoebe wondered who it was from. She went inside, towards her room. She threw the box on her bed and changed into her nighties. After that, she took the box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful locket shaped . "Oh my god, this is beautiful," said Phoebe. She put it on and it suited her perfectly. She noticed there was a small note in there. She took it out and read it quietly.
"Dear Phoebe Sanchez, my heart has longed for you forever. You're smile captivates me and it melts my heart away. You're eyes are two clear pools of blue that sends me flying whenever I look in them. You're laughter fills my life with joy and my problems vanish everytime you say my name. Could this be love? I agree. It is. I know you already have you're man in you're life but I just wanted to tell you my feelings anyway. Whatvever you're decision is, I'm always with you...Always...From, you're secret Admirer.
Phoebe closed the letter and smiled. The letter was so sweet, it touched her heart. She sighed, wanting to know who this mysterious person was. It sounded like someone she knew but she decided to think of it later. She turned off her lights and cuddled up in her bed. A few hours passed and she couldn't get any sleep. She decided to call Zexion and ask him to help her get some shut eye. She dialed his number and someone answered it.
"Hello?" asked Zexion grumbrily.
"Are you awake?"
"I was until you woke me up,"
"Sorry. I can't sleep because of that movie. As punishment, you have to talk with me until I get sleepy,"
"Okay okay. What do you want to talk about?"
"I got a present today. It was from a secret admirer. I wonder who it is?"
Zexion laughed. "Yeah, wonder who that could be?" Phoebe frowned. "Hey, do you think it could be Leslie?"
"What? How could you think that? He doesn't even know you're name and you think it was him? Puh-lease,"
"Okay, chill," said Phoebe. "Don't get so worked up about it. Lets talk about something else. Thinking of this letter is making me feel weird," and so, thay talked about their friends, Riku and everything else. "Hey, Zexion. What type of girl do you want as you're girlfriend?" asked Phoebe.
"Well, I want her to like me for me, she must be nice, caring, understanding, a bit stubborn, has her own opinions, likes to hang with me, easy to talk with, don't really care about appearance but must be thin and preety, must know me and finally, never hurt me no matter what. Why'd you ask?"
A light snore could be heard. "Phoebe, are you there?" asked Zexion. Snores were heard again. "My love life is that boring huh?"
"No, it isn't. Its sweet and that made me fantasize a bit. I can sleep now. Thanks, Zex. Night," and with that she hung up and slept, dreaming of her and Riku having fun when suddenly...a third person came. Who is this person...who?

"Urgh, where is Michelle? Our plane is leaving in like 15 minutes and she's still not here!" said Kairi. "Chill, Kai. Maybe she just had some problems or something. She'll come soon," said Namine. Kairi grumbled and sat down impatiently. Just then, they saw Michelle running towards them. "Sorry I'm late guys. I had a very important thing to do,"
"Oh yeah, and what was that?" asked Tidus.
"I signed Clichẽ for a Simple Plan contest! I sent one of our recording cd's and the winner gets to perform with Simple Plan at their concert tomorrow which so happens to be at Destiny Islands!"
"Oh my god, Mitch! You rule," said Kairi happily and the Cliche members got into a group hug. "Okay, enough hugging. Lets go into our plane or we're going to miss the flight," said Sora and they walked to the plane entrance. They boarded the plane which was in first class and got into their seats. Kairi sat in her seat and Namine sat beside her, Selphie and Ollete were sitting next to each other, Roxas with Sora, Hayner with Tidus, Leon with Cloud, Chleo with Michelle, Riku with Phoebe, and Aeris and Zexion.
The flight took only a few hours and everyone was asleep except for Sora and Kairi. Kairi was staring outside, remembering her childhood in Destiny Islands. Sora was too. Eventhough they hated each other now, they used to be best friends when they were kids. Then their friendship stopped when Kairi and Namine went to camp and forgot about their friendship with Sora and Roxas. It was sad but things like that happened. Kairi and Namine even forgot who Roxas and Sora were and so did they.
It was like the friendship never existed and Kairi regreted that. She didn't really like having enemies but having Sora as one was quite exciting. Finally, they reached Destiny Islands. "Finally! I was wondering why it took so long," said Hayner. Everyone laughed and went to go check into their vacation home that they rented. It was a big house that had 18 rooms and a lot of other facility rooms. They chose their bedrooms and unpacked their stuff.
Suddenly, Michelle's phone rang. "Hello?" asked Michelle.
"Hi, I'm the CEO of the Simple Plan contest. Are you Michelle Sanchez?"
"Yeah, thats me. How can I help you?"
"Oh, I would like you and you're band members to come to the studio so that the members of Simple Plan can make their choice,"
"You mean we get to meet them?"
"If you win. The address was with the pamplet you received,"
"Alright. We'll be there in 15 minutes. Thank you. Bye," Michelle hung up and ran downstairs towards the living room. There, she saw her members sitting down and talking. "Guys, get ready. Their going to annouce the winners of the contest so hurry up. We're leaving in 15 min's. Andale porvavor," said Michelle and ran back to chnage herself. The girls looked suprised and ran towards their room. After they were done, they were about to leave when she saw Phoebe looking a bit down.
"Hey, Phoebs. Come with us," said Michelle.
"Why? I'm not a Clichẽ member. I don't deserve to go,"
"Nonsense. You're Clichẽ's composer. You are in the band. Come on,"
"Okay," said Phoebe happily and followed them. They got into a taxi and rode to the studio. When they reached there, they walked in and they looked around. "Hmm...I don't see anyone here. Are you sure this is the right address?" asked Kairi.
"Positive. Lets look around," said Michelle but as soon as she turned around, she bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry, my bad," said the person. Michelle looked up and saw it was the vocalist of Simple Plan, Pierre Bouvier! "Umm...I-..um...it wasn't...y-you're fault," replied Michelle. He smiled and held out his hand. Michelle slowly took it and he helped her up. "What are you girls doing here?" he asked.
"Oh, we entered in one of you're contest," said Namine. "Cool," said David, their base guitarist and back up vocals. "Well, come on. The auditorium's this way," said Pierre and lead them to it. Michelle was drooling over Pierre, literally. "Close you're mouth Mitch. Drool is literally coming out of you're mouth like a waterfall," said Kairi.
"I can't help it. I have been Pierre's number one fan since forever. He just held my hand and that is the bestest things of all time!"
"Its true. One time, we had a sleepover and Michelle was talking in her sleep after going to his concert that night. 'Oh Pierre, I love you my singing hottie. Sing to me always'," said Phoebe while making kissing noises. Michelle glared at her and flushed a bright red while the other broke up laughing. They reached the auditorium and sat down at the front and the members of Simple Plan sat beside them. Michelle was shocked when she noticed Pierre sitting beside her.
"Hey, I'm looking forward to hearing you're bands playing. I hope you're playing is as good as you're looks," said the black haired singer. Michelle blushed and smiled. She was feeling on air now. Her idol had just said she looked nice. At least, she hoped thats what he meant. A woman went on stage towards the microphone. "Attention contestants. We will now play the songs of the top 3 and then, Simple Plan will choose who the lucky winners are. Good luck and if you don't get it, try again next time. Lets begin,"
They played a song from an all boys band and it sounded okay. Sora plays way better than him...Wait! Oh my god! Don't tell me I actually thought of that. Yuck! Okay, maybe I'm just nervous. There is no way I would think Fish Breath can play nicely. At least, I hope not... Kairi thought. Then, they played a song from a mixture of boys and girls band. It was so nice! Kairi was worried if they had a chance to win. "And our last song. Here it is," said the announcer and to the girls shock, their song came out!
"Oh my god! We were in the top 3!" said Selphie excitedly. "I know, wonder if they'll pick us?" asked Olette. Namine smiled at them and held Olette's hand. "Come on, we're Clichẽ and we have to believe that we have a chance. We're cliche girls but we still rock! True?" Selphie and Olette beamed while Kairi and Phoebe nodded. Michelle smiled and nodded too. Meanwhile, the members of Simple Plan were backstage, discussing who the winner should be.
They came back and sat back to their original seats. Pierre flashed a smile to Michelle and she wondered what the smile meant. "Okay, the members of Simple Plan have decided," said the announcer. "The winning band is...," All of the girl's hearts were thumping like mad already. "CLICHÈ!" All the members of Cliché squealed and jumped in joy. They started hugging each other and Michelle was going to cry already. "Would the members of Cliché please come on the stage," said the announcer.
The girls eyes popped wide open and they ran towards the stage. They hugged the announcer and waved towards the crowd there. The members of Simple Plan got up and walked up the stage. They shook hands with Cliché making Michelle's heart skip a beat. "Okay, Cliché. We want you to be at the concert early tomorrow since you'll be doing you're opening act first. You may choose whatever you want but make it short and sweet to hear. Here's the paperwork you might want to reer to. You may go now," said the announcer.
"Wow, we'll be performing in front of a big crowd," said Namine.
"Nothing to worry about Namie. We're here to guide you," said Kairi.
"But, sis, you know I get stage fright easily,"
"Its okay. We're all here for you," Namine smiled and nodded. They walked out of the auditorium and got a taxi. They reached back their home and bursted in with happy faces. Tidus came into the living room with a sandwich stuffed into his mouth. "Whft afe fu fo faffy fafout?" he asked. Selphie giggled. The rest just shook their heads and sighed. He swalloed the sandwich and wiped his mouth. "What are you guys so happy about?" he asked again.
"Oh, its because we won the contest that Mitch entered us in!" said Selphie excitedly. They squealed again, causing Tidus to cover his ears. "What is with the squealing? I'm trying to sleep here," said a grouchy Roxas. Namine smiled and jumped on her boyfriend which made her fall on top of him, both falling on the floor. "Whoa, I didn't know you'd miss me that bad. I was only in my room. You could have just come in," Namine laughed at Roxas's remark and got up.
"I didn't jump on you because of that. I was just so happy!"
"Happy to see me? Wow, I'm flattered," Namine punched his arm playfully and ruffled his hair. Roxas smirked and kissed her cheek. The gang then came in and Kairi told them the good news. "Really? I wonder if the band had ears. I bet they suffered from hearing Kairi's voice," said Sora. Kairi's veins popped out and punched Sora which sent him flying off the couch. Everyone was amazed at her power while she just laughed. Sora sat back on the chair with a lump coming out of his head.
Then, Chleo came into the room with an excited look. "You guys, I heard there's going to be a carnival tonight. They say it only comes once a year and its really fun. How about we all go tonight?"
"Yeah, that's a great idea," said Olette. "It'll be great for our vacation,"
"I know, how about we go two by two? It'll be more fun!" said Selphie. "Okay, cool. The girls get to choose another girls partner. It'll be more fun!" said Namine. The boys groaned while the girls huddled up. "Okay, Kairi, you start first. Choose Selphie's partner," said Olette. Tidus crossd his fingers, hoping it would be him. "Umm…how about Tidus?" said Kairi. Selphie blushed. I'm going to be spending one whole night with him? Just the two of us? Oh no. What if I blurt my feelings to him? I'm not really a good secret keeper.
"Okay, Selph. You get to choose Chleo's," said Kairi. Selphie nodded and pointed to the boys. She trailed her finger until it reached Leon. "Leon, you're Chleo's partner," Chleo looked shocked while Leon just rolled his eyes. "Whatever, I don't care,"
"Okay, Chleo, you're turn," said Namine. "You get to pick mine,"
"That's easy. I'll pair you with…," said Chleo. "Hayner,"
"WHAT!" said Namine and Olette and the same time. Chleo laughed. "I was just joking. I know how you don't want to be apart from Roxas so I guess BHK there is you're partner," Namine sighed and Roxas grinned. "Okay Namine. You're up," said Olette. "Okay, Kai. You're my victim. You're partner is Sora,"
"WHAT THE FUCK! Namine! You can't be serious!" said Kairi.
"You need to learn how to get along with him. I think you're relationship can go a lot better if you guys were friends. Or better yet, a couple!"
"Roxas! Knock some sense in you'e girlfriend. I'd rather die then be with Miss perfectionist here," said Sora.
"Go ahead and die. Who's stoping you?" asked Kairi. Sora glared at her while Namine giggled. "I'm sorry Kai. Its my choice. You're partner is Sora and that's final," Kairi groaned and pouted while Sora lowered his head and sighed. "Okay, Kairi. Choose Olette's partner," said Selphie. "Hayner, you're it," said Kairi glumily. Hayner smiled and Olette giggled. "Okay Olette, its you're turn," said Chleo. "Its okay, I don't want to choose. I want everyone to have fun. Doesn't matter to me," said Olette.
Everyone shrugged but agreed. "Okay then, Mitch. You're turn," said Chleo. "Choose Phoebe's one," Michelle nodded and looked at the boys. Only Zexion and Riku were left. Michelle sighed and smiled. "Riku, he's Phoebe's partner," Everyone stared at her in disbelief. "Mitch…are you sure? It doesn't have to be Riku," said Phoebe.
"What are you talking about Phoebs? He's you're boyfriend. I'm sure you want to spend time with him. Besides, I think I need some time with Zexion. You know, get to know each other more,"
"O-Okay, Mitch. Thanks,"
Michelle smiled and looked at Riku who was staring at her in a weird way. She smiled at him and he just shook his head. "Okay, everyone has their partners. Now for the activities," said Chleo. "First, we'll do this…..,"
"Wait! Sorry we were late, what were you guy's discussing about?" asked Aeris who just came in with Cloud. "We're going to the carnival tonight and Cloud's you're partner. Now, as I was saying...," said Chleo.

"Okay, girls. We're here," said Selphie. They got out of their taxi and Kairi paid the fee. They waited for the boys taxi and when they reached there, all of them entered the carnival. They were amazed at what they saw. There were quite a lot of people there and lights brightened the scenery. There were sounds of laughter and screams were heard too. It definitely was a fun place.
"Okay, lets go with our partners now," said Olette and they splited up. Michelle watched as Phoebe walked off with Riku, arm in arm. "Hurts dosen't it," said a voice behind her.
"Oh, Zexion. Hey,"
"Must hurt when you see him like that,"
"Wha-what are you talking about? I'm not jealous if that's what you think,"
Zexion smirked and looked at Michelle. "You're good at a lot of things but lying ain't one of them," Michelle lowered her head and then looked back at the starry night. "It still hurts but he's my past. Demyx is my present. I can't go thinking about him while Demyx is my boyfriend, right?"
"True. I want to ask you something. Why did you fight with Riku in the first place. Phoebe only said that it was Aurora's fault,"
Michelle smiled weakly and shook her head. "It wasn't her fault. It was mine. I didn't trust Riku. I was stupid and believed in my own theories. Its my fault and now I'm paying the price," Zexion looked at her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. People make mistakes. It happens," Michelle smiled and nodded. "Well, lets go on some rides already. I have an urge to ride all and win me some prizes," said the brunette girl. Zexion laughed and Michelle took his hand and dragged him to follow her. Meanwhile, Sora and Kairi were practically competing with each other. Sora bought two hotdogs, one for him and her. They took the first bite together and then they looked at each other.
Sora smirked while Kairi glared at him. They then took the second bite, also in unison. "Stop following me," said Kairi.
"Who in the right mind would want to follow a poser freak like you,"
"Then quit copying me," Sora laughed and rolled his eyes. "Whatever Sodanomi. You just don't know how to have fun. That's you're problem," Kairi glared at him and swalloed her hotdog fast. Sora stared at her and when she was done, she put her hands on her hips. "You think I don't know how to have fun? Let me show you how fun I can be," and with that, she grabbed Sora's hand and pulled him to follow her. He blushed a bit to the fact that she was holding his hand but shook his head and followed her.
"Lets go to the rollercoaster first," said Kairi.
"As long as you don't puke on me, I'm cool with it,"
"Puh-lease. I know how to control my stomach. Wish I could say the same for you," Sora rolled his eyes and they ran towards the line. "Hey Kairi! Sora!" called out a voice from the line. They saw it was Roxas and Namine there. The two ran up to their twins and went in line there. "Come on. Our turn is up," said Namine and all four of them got into the rollercoaster together. Sora and Kairi sat in the front while Roxas and Namine were behind them. They put on their seatbelts and the rollercoaster took off.
The ride was wild! It turned upside down and went down fast! Kairi was shouting in joy, so were Roxas and Namine but Sora was having diffuculties with enjoying the ride. After the ride was finished, Kairi jumped out of the rollercoaster and jumped like a hyperactive bunny. "That was the coolest! I have got to ride it again," said Kairi.
"It was okay I guess," said Roxas.
"What are you saying Roxas. It was the best. Lets go again,"
"Sorry Kai, me and Rox have plans. See ya later!" said Namine and they ran off while holding hands. "Fine. Hey Revene, what abou- Revene? Where are you?" asked Kairi. Sora was nowhere to be found. Kairi sighed and began looking for him. She then found him at a trashcan, throwing up. She made a disgusted face and went up to him.
"I told you to control you're stomach," said Kairi.
"Hey, it isn't easy for us guys," Kairi sighed and they sat down on a bench."I'll be sure not to ride anymore rides like that with you ever again," Sora laughed a bit and wiped his mouth. "Oh, you have something on you're mouth," said Kairi. Sora wiped it again but the stain was still there. Kairi sighed and took out a tissue. She wiped it off but it wouldn't come off. "What the hell?" asked Kairi and wiped it with her thumb. Sora tingled a bit from the feeling of her fingers brushing past his lips.
Kairi then stopped on his cheek and stared into his eyes. He was just staring at her in a weird way but was falling in her blue eyes. Sora then held the arm that she used to hold is cheek and pulled it off. He then held it with his own hands and pressed his cheek on it. Kairi smiled and then her eyes widened. She quickly pulled back her hand and held it. Sora seemed to have realised what he had done so he turned the other way and blushed.
"S-sorry, I… I didn't know what I was doing," said Sora.
"Y-Yeah, me t-too," stuttered Kairi. Both of them looked their opposite ways and blushed. "W-Well, lets go to the haunted house or something," suggested Sora, breaking the silence. "Okay, l-lets go," replied Kairi and they walked towards the haunted house. There, they saw the whole gang there. "Yo, wassup?" asked Sora.
"Hey, we're having a dare. Every pairing must go into the haunted house and they must be together at all times. All our cells have video camera's in them so they have to put their phones over thier neck or something like that," said Olette.
"Count me out. There's no way I would want to go into the house with Fish Breath here," said Kairi. Sora stuck his tounge out at her while she just glared at him. "Oh no, Kai. If you don't do this, you're going to do something worse," said Namine.
"Whats more worst than me going to the haunted house with Mr Peabrain here," Namine smirked. "Kiss him," Kairi's eyes popped open. "You can't be serious Namie!"
"Sorry Kairi. Its either going into the house with Sora or kissing him in front of all of us," Kairi groaned and slapped her forehead. Sometimes she hated her twin. "Fine, lets just get it over with," said Kairi in a growling tone. Sora just rolled his eyes and followed Kairi but Selphie stopped them. "Whoa, you guys aren't going in first. We've already chosen the order. Chleo and Leon will be in there first,"
"Cool, I'm ready for this," said Chleo.
"Just hold my hand if you feel scared or whatever, okay?" asked Leon.
"Oh but it is you who will be holding my hand," Leon just rolled his eyes and they walked into the house. When inside, Chleo didn't feel any fear. But when they reached the inner part of the haunted house, sweat began falling from her forehead. She was suddenly shaking and her heart was thumping very fast. Leon noticed this and held her hand. "You don't have to be scared. Its nothing," said Leon. Chleo gave him a warm hearted smile and they finished walking trough the house.
When they got out of the house, Chleo's face was slightly pale and she was clinging to Leon as though he was her stuffed bear. "How was it Chleo?"asked Michelle. She looked at her and quickly let go of Leon.
"It wasn't scary at all. I had hoped it would at least make me scream at least once but it failed miserably," said Chleo in a mocking way.
"Oh, that means the person that was screaming like hell in there wasn't you. She was screaminng like a maniac. I wonder who the hell she was," said Hayner. Chleo sweatdropped and Leon smirked a bit. "Okay, next is Tidus and Selphie," said Namine. The two blondes nodded and held hands. They slowly made their way to the house and stepped on the stairs. A few minutes later, they came out of the house…..laughing?
"Oh my god, that was so funny," said Selphie.
"Yeah, lets go in again," said Tidus.
"What is it with you two? You're supposed to scream, not laugh," said Hayner.
"Oh, we're sorry," replied Selphie. "It was just so funny how the skeletons jumped around and the spiders kept tickling us," The gang all stared at them and shook their heads in disbelief. They continued doing the dare until it was Kairi and Sora's turn. Kairi sighed and made her way to the house. Sora heaved one of his own sighs and made his way into the house behind Kairi. Inside, Sora was walking like normal but Kairi was holding her arms together. Somehow, she felt nervous for some reason.
Just then, a skeleton came down in front of her. She screamed her head off and fell back due to the shock. Sora began laughing his head off at her idioticy. Kairi growled at him and stood up while dusting her clothes. After that, she felt something crawling on her head. She slowly felt around her hair and felt something hairy. She grabbed one of the 'things'. Her eyes widened to what she saw. She screamed and threw the spider she held dearly in her hands and started rummaging her hair.
Sora was rolling on the floor due to the laughter and Kairi was practically crying. She fell on her knees and began crying uncrontrolbally. Sora wiped away the tears that fell and crossed his arms. "Aww, come on. Don't tell me that you're scared of itty bitty spiders," Kairi glared at him with tearful eyes.
"You know I have phobia of spiders. I'm really scared of them. Really scared….," Sora looked at her and sighed. He went over and held out his hand. Kairi looked at him while sobbing and with a confused look. "If it'll make you feel any better, hold my hand. Don't get me wrong. I just don't like people crying. Makes me feel bad for some reason,"
"S-Sora…,"
"Well, do you want me to help you or what?" Kairi lowered her head and wiped her tears. Why is he being nice to me? No, I shouldn't show my weakness to him. I have to prove to him that I am brave. But I'm not. Those spiders nearly gave me a heartattack. Maybe I should take his hand…just this once….
"Fine," said Sora and stood straight. "If you don't want my help, I won't force you," He was about to walk away when Kairi grabbed his hand. "Don't. I'm really scared here…Really. Please don't leave me," Sora looked at her in a shocking way. Did Kairi Sodanomi say that? The Kairi Sodanomi that was his mortal enemy? Was she showing her weakness to him? Sora smirked and helped her up.
Suddenly, a mummy came from behind them and made a 'boo' sound. Kairi and Sora screamed in shock and Kairi jumped in Sora's arms, clinging to his neck. Sora just ran out of the house, ignoring the fact that his mortal enemy was hugging him, sort of. When he finally made it out, a flash of light appeared, blinding his vision and when he could see again, he saw Riku holding a camera. "Oh sweet, we finally caught them together," said Zexion.
"Yup, aww. Sora's holding Kairi," said Phoebe. Sora blushed and noticed that Kairi was unconcious. Namine noticed this and quickly ran to her twin. Sora got on his knees and laid Kairi's head on his lap. "Sis, wake up. What's wrong with you? Sora, what did you do?" asked Namine.
"I didn't do anything. She was crying because spiders fell on her head and then this mummy freak came up behind us and scared the shit out of u- I mean, out of Kairi here,"
"Oh my god, spiders. I forgot. I'm so sorry, Kai. Mitch, help me carry Kairi to the bathroom. We can wash her face and maybe she'll feel better," Michelle nodded and the two of them carried the unconcious redhead away from the gang. "I hope she'll be alright," said Aeris. Chleo put an assuring hand on her shoulder and smiled. "She will, its Kairi. She's a big girl,"
"True. Okay, lets continue with our plan. We only have time for two more rides. We'll meet later at the ferris wheel. Selphie, go to the bathroom and tell the girls that we'll be waiting for them at the ferris wheel later," said Zexion. Selphie nodded and ran towards the bathroom. The rest stayed there for a while. Meanwhile, Kairi opened her blue eyes and saw Namine with a worried look. "Namie, where am I? My head hurts,"
"You're in the bathroom. You fainted at the haunted house and Sora carried you out. I forgot that you had phobia of spiders. I shouldn't have forced you to go in. I'm sorry, Kairi,"
"Its okay but next time, no more haunted house's with spiders," Namine giggled and helped Kairi up. They then walked out of the bathroom with Michelle and Selphie and made their way to their partners. Zexion and Michelle were walking around again while Michelle was holding the stuffed bear she won. Just then, they saw Riku and Phoebe walking in front of them, laughing and kissing.
Michelle looked away and turned to Zexion. She managed to catch a glimpse of envy in his eyes. He then turned to Michelle and smiled. "Zexion, are you okay?"
"Of course I am. Its you who shouldn't be okay. Must be painful seeing the one you like with someone else,"
"It does but like I said, its in the past. It hurts but sooner or later, I have to get over him, eventhough its hard,"
"I know what you mean," said Zexion. "Wow, its kind of funny. Both the people we like are with each other and you and me are together now,"
"Yeah, it is- WAIT! What did you say?" asked Michelle. Zexion realised what he said and gulped. His secret was blurted out. "Uh..nothing. It was nothing!" said Zexion. Michelle grinned and put her hands on her hips. "You like Phoebe don't you?" Zexion laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "I knew it! Wait till Phoebe hears this. Oh, there she is! Phoebe! I have something to te-,"
Michelle was cut off by Zexion covering her mouth with his hand. Phoebe heard her name being called and turned around and saw Zexion waving at her with Michelle beside him. Phoebe arched her eyebrows but waved back. Michelle managed to break free from his grasp. "Please don't tell her. I'll do anything. PLEASE!" begged Zexion. Michelle thought for a while and snaped her fingers.
"I know. Buy me everything I want tonight and then I won't tell her," Zexion sighed and lowered his head. "Fine but promie you won't tell," said Zexion. Michelle nodded and smiled. "I won't tell…..or maybe I will," Zexion's eyes widened and he smirked. "If you tell her," he said and grabbed her bear. "Say bye bye to Mr teddy here,"
"Zexion, don't you dare!"
"Oh, I dare. Maybe I will cut his head off and his stomach will be ripped open!" Zexion then ran off with the teddy in hand and Michelle chasing behind him. They were laughing and Zexion was playing around with Michelle. Phoebe saw this and couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. "Phoebe, whats wrong?" asked Riku.
"Oh, nothing. Michelle and Zexion seem to be getting along well,"
Riku looked their way and saw Michelle holding a bear and Zexion lifting her up and twirling her around. They actually look like a couple..Am I jealous? No, I can't be. Focus on Phoebe now.Focus! Then, Zexion took the bear again and then Michelle kissed him on the cheek. He blushed and Michelle grabbed the bear back. Zexion shouted a 'hey' and they began chasing each other again. Riku shook his head and averted his attention to Phoebe, who was busy staring at them.
"Come on, I think we should go to the ferris wheel now," said Riku. Phoebe smiled and nodded. They made their way there but Riku turned back to look at Michelle for one more time and to his surprise, she was looking at him too. Later, at the ferris wheel, the gang were already there. "Hey guys. Lets get on the ride already. Riku and Phoebe are here," said Roxas. "I know you can't wait to kiss Namine but we have to wait for Michelle and Zexion," said Sora.
Roxas pouted while Namine blushed. "We're here," said Michelle. The gang looked at them and noticed that Zexion was holding many items. Zexion just pouted while Michelle was beaming. "Okay, whatever, lets go now!" said Selphie and they all went on the ride. They hopped in with their partners and the ride slowly started moving. Kairi sat at the end while Sora sat in front of her. Kairi crossed her arms while Sora just stared at the starry night.
"Thanks," aid Kairi out of the blue.
"For what?" replied Sora.
"Back at the haunted house. Thanks for carrying me outside,"
"What did you expect me to do?" asked Sora. "Leave you in there screaming like an idiot. We're roommates for heavens sake. Who knows what the others might have thought. I have a reputation, okay?"
Kairi laughed. "So you saving me was just for you're reputation?"
"Y-yeah, what did you think it was for? You?" Kairi blushed and quickly shook her head. Her blue eyes then averted to the sky too. Kairi then began looking around her and saw her twin making out with Roxas. Kairi smiled. Namine has finally found her true love. I wonder if I'll ever find someone that can make me feel special like Namine. She then looked behind her and saw Selphie and Tidus having an awkward moment, neither wanting to say a word.
Sora too was looking around and saw Hayner and Olette snuggling and kissing each other gently. Sora felt a tinge of jealousy. Am I unlucky or is there just no girl for me? Maybe fate has other plans for me but how I wish someone is out there especially for me. Maybe there is. I just have never noticed it. I hope I will soon. He then looked up and saw Riku laughing with Phoebe and he pulled her into a passionate kiss. They looked like they were having fun.
Kairi was eyeing Michelle who was laughing and Zexion was telling her stories. Both of them were actually close and Kairi was glad that Michelle was okay with Riku and Phoebe being together. Leon and Chleo on the other hand were discussing something or rather arguing over something. It looked like Leon had hurt Chleo's feelings and she was pouting while he was trying to apologise but she was too stubborn to listen. Kairi laughed at that sight. They looked like a married couple in some way.
Aeris was blushing for some reason. Maybe it had to do with the fact that she was wearing Cloud's jacket and that his arm was around her shoulders. They would be a very cute couple but Cloud didn't have the courage to tell Aeris his real feelings. It was weird though. Cloud was a very brave guy. He wasn't a coward and he was the bravest among the gang, next to Leon of course. Kairi sighed. Love was confusing. Sora heaved a sigh of his own and all of a sudden, the ride got a bit 'rough' and it started rattling a bit.
"Wha-whats going on?" asked Kairi frantically.
"I don't know. Must be some technical diffuculties. I'm sure it'll pass. Why? Scared, Ms perfect?"
"Urgh, in you're dreams moron. I'm just a bit..umm…worried that the ride might freeze or something,"
"Uhuh," said Sora sarcastically. Kairi just huffed at him and looked away. She then sat up straight and stretched for awhile. She was getting sleepy for some reason. Then, the ride bumped a little, causing Kairi to lose her balance a bit and she fell on Sora's lap. Kairi looked up at him while he was blushing madly. Kairi's face turned deep red and she quickly got up and went back to her seat and coughed a bit. Sora played with his fingers and looked around.
When the ride was about to finish, fireworks brightened the sky with many different colours. Each bigger and brighter than before. Kairi gasped and looked at them with awe. Fireworks always made her happy. She had always watched the fireworks with her loved ones and for some reason, fireworks made her feel relaxed. Sora was amazed by them too. He looked at Kairi's face and noticed her happiness. Wow, her smile suits her face when she's happy. Why am I saying this? She's a Ms goody goody. A beautiful one too…
Sora quickly mentally slapped himself and returned his gaze to the beautiful explosions that were forming in the sky. After the last firework exploded, Kairi cheered and clapped her hands. She looked like a 5 year old kid getting a christmas present. Sora laughed at her. "What's so funny, Pigbrain?" asked Kairi rudely.
"You're acting like a 5 year old kid. Should have expected that from you,"
"Immature freak,"
"Ms Perfectionist,"
"Moronic baboon,"
"Monkey Minded,"
"Fishbreath,"
"Whining wannabe,"
"Loser,"
"Poser,"
"Frogface,"
"Queen bee,"
"GUYS! ENOUGH ALREADY!" yelled Namine.Sora and Kairi turned in front and realised that the ride was over and the gang had already got off except them. Both of them glared at each other and turned behind, both huffed. The gang all sighed and shook their head. Trying to get them to be friends was impossible. "Okay guys, lets go home already. Tomorrow is a big day for us," said Michelle. Sora and Kairi rolled their eyes and they set off back to their vacation house.

"Oh my god. I can't believe I'm going to be meeting Simple Plan!" said Michelle. "Mitch, that's like the 25th time you said that already. We know that you're excited and all but change the words a bit please?" said Phoebe.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm so nervous right now. I'm scared I might forget our lines or something. Hopefully I won't,"
"Of course you won't. You're one of the best guitarist's I know. You can do it! All of us can!" said Selphie. Michelle smiled and nodded. They were getting ready to go to the concert but before they did, they were getting ready first. Kairi was wearing a red halter top with dark blue jeans and a pink sash tied on her hips, Namine was wearing a blue tee shirt with a white vest on top and black jeans with a blue sash on her hips.
Michelle was wearing a green spaghetti strap shirt with white jeans and a green sash, Olette was wearing an orange sundress and a yellow sash and finally, Selphie was wearing a yellow tee shirt with a peach jacket on top and grey jeans with a brown sash on top. All of their hairs were either in up-do's or they let down their hair. They each smiled at each other and got into the limousine that was sent to pick them up from their house.
They finally reached the stadium were they held the concert. The band member's heart was thumping like hell. Namine was really excited but she was also nervous. What if she forgot her lines? No, she musn't think that. She looked at her members and saw their confidence. She smiled but then she noticed there was one member missing. "Hey guy's, where's Phoebe?"
"Right here," said Phoebe who came up behind them wearing a blue tank top with black jeans and a dark blue sash. "Hey, thought you couldn't make it," said Michelle. Phoebe grinned and crossed her arms. "You'd didn't think that I would miss the most important for Cliché would I?" The rest laughed and Phoebe just smirked. "Okay, lets not waste time. Let's go in," said Olette. They nodded and made their way into the big stadium.
There were so many people. It was hard to make it through the crowd and the guards but eventually, the girls survived and made their way to Simple Plan's dressing room. "Oh my god, I can't believe we're going to meet them..AGAIN! How do I look?" asked Michelle. The girls groaned and slapped their foreheads. "Mitch, you look fine. Chill already, k?" said Phoebe.
"I can't. I am going to meet my idol and plus, I will be performing for him too!"
"I know it's a big deal for you but if you continue acting like this, you're going to go all hyper and might forget you're cords. Don't let that happen," said Kairi.
"No worries. I promise not to forget em'," The rest smiled and Michelle slowly knocked on the door. "Come in," said a rough voice and Michelle heaved a sigh. She opened the door and smiled her best smile ever. "Hey girl's. Ready for you're performance?" asked Pierre. Michelle was hypnotized by his 'hottness' that she couldn't respond. Kairi rolled her eyes and smiled.
"We're ready. Cliché is always prepared,"
"That's great. What song are you going to sing?" asked Chuck, their drummer.
"It's a song I wrote. We decided to try it out," said Kairi.
"You write songs? I thought Phoebe was you're composer?" asked Jeff.
"Yeah, but we want to try Kai's song. Its really cool and she dedicated it to someone," said Selphie with an irritating tone. Kairi blushed and pushed back some of her auburn locks. "Really? Who?" asked Pierre.
"Umm…just a special someone who's always there for me but I never realised it. You'll get the meaning hopefully when I sing it,"
"Alright, can't wait," said Sebastian. Michelle suddenly got nervous all of a sudden. She remembered she didn't do so well in front of crowds. If its in front of a small group, it was okay but millions of people, this could be a problem for her. "Michelle, is there anything wrong?" asked Phoebe who noticed her uneasiness. "Umm…no…its just that I'm sc-scared I'll mess up and em-embarass us in front of all those pe-people," replied the brunette.
Pierre laughed and held Michelle's hand. Michelle totally blushed and her heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest. "Don't worry. Everyone gets a little stage fright sometimes. You just have to try you're best and don't think about you're fear,"
"I..I guess. Tha-thanks Mr Bouvier,"
"Please, call me Pierre. Mr Bouvier makes me sound old and married. I'm young and single. Maybe you and I could hang out after the show or something,"
Michelle looked at him in shock. He laughed and Michelle looked at him confusingly. "I'm just playing with you. But seriously, wanna go join me for lunch someday? I heard you were a total fan of mine. Lets see how much you know of me,"
"Y-yeah, that would be great," Pierre smiled at her and released her hand after realising he was holding it until then. Just then, the door opened and Simple Plan's manager was there. "Girls, you're on in 10 minutes. Lets get you ready," she said. The girls nodded and followed her out of the room. Before they left, they shook hands with Simple Plan who wished them good luck and gave each other hugs and to Michelle's surprise, Pierre gave her a good luck kiss on the cheek which made her face red as a tomato.
"Alright Cliché, lets do it!" said Olette happily and threw her fist in the air. The other members joined in and ran to the stage, eager to begin their performance. Backstage, they started preparing their instruments and props. Kairi was on acoustic guitar, Michelle was on electric guitar, Namine was pianist, Olette was base and Selphie was drums.
The announcer went on stage and the crowd was screaming for the show to start. "Ladies and gentleman, before we bring Simple Plan out, our winners for the 'Star with Simple Plan' contest will do us a performance. Lets welcome, Cliché!" said the announcer and left the stage. The curtains were pulled back and Kairi was blinded by the spotlight that was shown on her face. She sat on the stool that was prepared for her and she grabbed the microphone.
"Hey, what's up everybody. We're Cliché and we won the Simple Plan contest! For thi special day, we will be performing a song called 'My hero is you' that was written by me and the music was composed by our lovely composer, Phoebe Sanchez! So without further ado, let the show begin!" With that, the lights dimmed down and Kairi started playing.

Now when I start doubting and
You help me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh believe me there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah (My hero, my hero)
My hero is you (My hero is you)
Kairi looks up to the crowd and see Sora smiling for some reason and she didn't know why but she returned the smile.
My hero is you……..
She finished the song and the crowd went wild. It was phenomenal. Everyone was cheering and clapping like mad and they looked down and saw their gang wolf whistling and yelling their names while saying 'You girl's ruled' or 'Awesome show, gals!' The member's of Cliché blushed for some reason and they were surprised the crowd actually gave them a good response. The announcer came back on stage and the member's of Cliché bowed.
"Woohoo, give it up for Cliché!" said the announcer and the crowd clapped and cheered again. "Thank you girls for sharing you're wonderful music for us. Who knows, we might be hearing from you soon in the future," said the announcer and winked. The members of Cliché looked at each other and smiled. "Yeah, who knows," replied Kairi.
"Okay, lets bring out the band that will rock you're socks tonight, give it up for SIMPLE PLAN!" The crowd cheered even more and the member's of Simple Plan came out. The girl's whispered good luck to them and they went offstage. Simple Plan began playing and Pierre sang a song called 'Perfect World'. Backstage, the gang were there to congratulate them. "Oh my god, you guy's rocked," said Phoebe and pulled them into a group hug.
"Thanks Phoebs but congratulate yourself too. You're music sounded awesome," said Kairi. Phoebe smiled and the others congratulated them and all. After Cliché had packed up their stuff, Michelle insisted they stayed for the concert so the gang stayed and watched the performance from the front seats that Simple Plan reserved especially for them. The concert was a blast. Michelle wouldn't stop cheering everytime Pierre did something out of the ordinary.
The gang laughed. At least they had fun. After the concert, they made their way back to the house and decided to hit the hay. Tomorrow, they were going home in the morning and they needed their rest. Kairi couldn't sleep for some reason. She went outside to the garden so she could clear her mind. She kept thinking of a lot of stuff. Her parents divorce, her life, her social status, her soulmate, her enemy….
"Aah! Get it together, Kai. Stop thinking about him. Why are you even thinking about him in the first place? Sure, he might have a cute appearance but his personality stinks! Then why do I remember him? God, this is so confusing,"
"What is?" asked a male voice from behind her. Kairi jumped in fear and fell off the chair that she was sitting on. "Sora! Don't scare me like that!" scolded Kairi anggrily. "I didn't mean to but I should have thought about it earlier. You're face amused me that time," Kairi scoffed at him and Sora sat beside her. "Can't sleep?" asked the brunette boy.
"No, you?"
"With you screaming out here, I wonder how the rest sleep. God, you're loud,"
"Oh haha. Very funny Mr Immature freak!"
"I know I'm funny. It has been in me for generations. My ancestors passed their funny genes to me, leaving Roxas with only their blurness," Kairi laughed at that remark and Sora grinned. "Say, dorkenstine, you seemed to be in my song that we played at the concert. Why?"
"Umm…I dunno. I just felt like the words meant to me somehow and I just got into it. Even with you're croaky voice, I survived the music,"
"Well, I have something to confess to you but don't laugh,"
"I don't have all night, redhead. Shoot,"
"Well, you see. When I was singing that song, it was supposed to be for someone but I don't have a someone. I just wrote it somehow. I haven't gotten my soulmate yet but that song meant a lot to me. Its like I know this person and he's always been there for me and I never noticed it. I guess I have to wait for that person, huh?"
Sora gave her a blank look then smiled. "It doesn't mean if you don't have a someone, you have to wait for him to come. Why don't you try thinking of someone that has always been for you, if you want to dedicate that song to him. Close you're eyes and think real hard then you can open them,"
Kairi looked at him weirdly but did as she was told. She closed her yes and suddenly, her mind went blank. She then saw herself standing in a room that is all white. Where am I? Where is this place? Just then, an image started forming in front of her. Soon, it finally transformed into Namine! "Namine, what are you doing here?" Namine placed her finger on her lips. "Sssh, I'm here to help you find you're true love,"
Kairi stared confusingly at her. Namine then waved her finger and 3 images started forming in front of her. "Here are 3 boys that could be you're lovelife. Tell me what you see in them. Boy no.1," said Namine and waved her hand again. It transformed into Axel. "Tell me, Kairi. Has Axel been loyal to you when you were together?" asked Namine.
Kairi thought about it for a while and realised he was never around when she felt sad or depressed. "No, he hasn't..," replied the redhead. Namine nodded and vanished the image. She then waved her hand again and the 2nd image formed into Seifer. "Now, Kai. Has Seifer ever hurt you before?"
"Umm…..yes. A lot of times actually,"
"Very well," She vanished the image and waved her hand for the last time. It transformed into Kairi's horror. "Sora! You have got to be kidding me Namie!" said Kairi. "Think about it, Kai. Has Sora ever abandoned you in you're time of need? Has he ever ignored you when you needed someone? Has he ever told you painful lies that would hurt you? Has he ever not answered you're plea's for help when you cried them out? Hasn't he alwys there by you're side when you need company? You're soulmate was right in front of you all along, Kai,"
Kairi thought about it. It was true. Sora had been there when she was in the hospital, he was there to comfort her when her parents divorced, he was there to heal her when she fell ill, he took care of her when she would faint, he had always been there. "But I don't love him. He's my enemy. We argue 24/7," said Kairi.
"True but you're arguments always starts conversations with him and you like talking to him don't you? You like hearing his words coming from his mouh and you like it when he's close to you, right?" asked Namine. Kairi flopped on her knees and lowered her head. "You're right Namine. Maybe I do have feelings for Sora but I can't tell him. He doesn't feel the same. I know it,"
Namine smiled and went to her twin. "You don't know till you try. Prove you're love to him and we'll see his reaction. If he has been there for you all these times, he'll be there for you when you tell him," Kairi smiled and nodded.
Kairi the opened back her eyes and saw Sora looking at her worriedly. She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sora was too shock on what to do. "Ka-Kairi, wha-what's gotten into you?" he asked. She broke the hug and loked into his deep ocean eye's. Prove my love you say… She then held her hand at Sora's cheek and leaned in closer. Sora didn't know what to do so he just let her do what she wanted. Their lips were inches apart. Kairi closed her eyes and so did Sora. They were just about to kiss when….
PLOP! Kairi fell into his chest. She fainted. Sora mentally slapped himself and shook Kairi lightly. Trying to wake her up. She must have fainted due to her illness. Sora sighed and carried her bridal style inside the house. He placed her on her bed and tucked her in. I can't believe it. We were about to…to…kiss… What was up with that? Maybe she was just dillusional or something. But why didn't I try to wake her up? Did I want to kiss her too? Yuck, no way…gross. You're just tired Sora. Get some rest.
Sora sighed and made his way out of her room and when he was about to close her door, he muttered, "Goodnight, redhead. I guess our live's are confusing. Hopefully, you'll get some nice dreams," and with that, he closed the door and made his way to his rom where he flopped on the bed and rode on the train to dreamland.

They were back at school again and the situation was like normal. Students were everywhere and there were noises heard whereever you went. Phoebe stretched her arms and heaved a sigh. "School like usual. Maybe I should go see Riku, maybe he will make my day better. Of course he will," She smiled and made her way to his dorm. She reached his front door and was about to ring the doorbell when she heard Riku talking with someone.
"Sora, I can't take it anymore. I have to stop this," said Riku.
"Calm down. Now tell me whats going on, man,"
Phoebe listened intensely. What was bothering Riku until he wouldn't even tell her about it? She listened to the details and gasped after what she heard."N-no…it can't be….No! That's unfair! No!" said Phoebe and ran away from the dorm. Tears were falling down her face. She couldn't believe what she just heard. "This isn't fair…this isn't fair…,"
