I'm being forced to write this script for Zemyx Time on vacation. See how much I have to do when I'm not around the rest of the group? Anyway, here we go!
Oh! And first to guess at least 5 of the characters gets a prize! And the person who won my last contest (too lazy to look up your name but you know who you are), your episode will be out very soon. I promise.
BTW: We changed Marluxia's hair color for the first part of this because of what happens later on in the actual movie. Also, this is REALLY LONG!
***START***
…A blonde teenager, his hair styled in a Mohawk/mullet hybrid, in a pair of blue trunks and a white tanktop smiled as he held the hand of a slate-haired teenager, his hair short in the back and long to cover his right eye, in a pair of purple trunks and a black tanktop as they walked down the beach together…
…The blonde smiled, holding a camera up to his face as he waved the slatenette a little further away. The slatenette grinned slightly before he knocked over the sand castle they'd just made. The blonde laughed as he started to run away from the other…
…The blonde gave a small smile as he gave the slatenette a final kiss, walking away down the beach…
.**********.
Vexen Academic, Lexaeus Hero, and Xigbar Shooter walked onto the campus of Oblivion High, starting to laugh as Xigbar stole Vexen's paper bag lunch, holding it out of the blonde's reach.
"Hey, give that back!" Vexen yelled, trying to get his lunch back.
Xigbar laughed, tossing it to Lexaeus. "Don't you know you're not supposed to eat these?" he joked with a smile. "You're supposed to burn them!"
Vexen glared at the older teenager as he grabbed the bag back from Lexaeus, stuffing it in his pocket. "My mom makes it the first day of school," he muttered, resisting the urge to hit Xigbar.
"Hey, there's Axel!" Xigbar exclaimed, seeing a familiar tall redhead standing in front of a tall blonde, a cigarette in his mouth and another behind one ear. "Axel!"
Axel Flurry turned, smiling slightly when he saw the other three, walking away from the blonde. "Xigbar," he said, giving him a high-five. "Vexen. Lexaeus."
"What've you been doing all summer, Axel?" Lexaeus asked, shoving his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
"I've been working," the redhead replied. "Which is more than any of you can say."
"Why would you want to work?" Xigbar asked with a grin.
"Because," Axel said, slapping the back of his head. "I'm saving up to buy me some wheels."
"Hey, there's Zexion!" Xigbar noticed, still grinning. "Hey, Zexion!"
Standing talking to a few teenage boys was a shorter slate-haired teenage boy in black jeans, a black tanktop, and a black leather jacket, '"T" bird' on the back in white with a small white bird. Zexion Schemer. "Zexion!" Xigbar yelled again, the slatenette coming over with a high-five to Axel.
"Any new guys, Zex?" Axel asked, pulling up the collar of his own leather jacket.
"Just the same old ones," Zexion replied with a small smile.
"So, Zex," Xigbar said, "what did ya do over the summer?"
"Spent most of it at the beach," the slatenette replied, moving a hand to his pocket. "Met a guy."
"How was he?" Axel asked with a grin.
"You know I won't tell ya that, Ax," Zexion replied. "Besides, he's gone, so there's not much left."
The bell rang, the 5 friends heading inside the school with a grumble.
A few feet away, walking across the grass was a tall blonde, his hair in a hybrid of a Mohawk and a mullet, in a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt and a tall teenage boy with shoulder-length chocolate brown hair that flipped out near the ends in a pink T-shirt and a pair of jeans, a pink jacket with 'Pink Ladies' on the back in black on his back. Demyx Nocturne and Marluxia Assassin.
"Thanks for showing me around, Marly," Demyx said with a small smile.
"No problem," Marluxia replied, flipping his hair over his shoulder. "Things are a little different here then back home, aren't they?"
"It's a lot different than Destiny Island, yeah," the blonde agreed, shifting the binder and notebook in his arms. "In fact, I wish I was back there right now."
"Don't worry 'bout it," Marluxia said, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Come on. Let's get to class."
A short blonde boy, a short black-haired girl, and a tall blonde teenage boy walked toward the school, all three of them sporting the same jackets as Marluxia. Roxas Destiny, Xion Memory, and Luxord Fate.
"Another year," Roxas said, pushing the black sunglasses further up his face.
"But this year, we're seniors," Xion pointed out.
"And we're gonna rule the school," Roxas added, grinning.
"Let's get going," Luxord said, flipping a card through his fingers as they walked.
"Xaldin, do you have the schedules for this year?"
Larxene Nymph, the principle at Oblivion High looked over at her secretary, Xaldin Lancer, only to come up empty-handed. She shook her head as Demyx walked into the office, leaning over the counter. "May I help you?" she asked.
"I'm new here and I don't really know where to go," Demyx said.
Larxene sighed, pulling out some paperwork. "Fill out these papers and you'll be set," she said, turning and walking into her office. Demyx looked at the papers, sighed slightly, pulled out a pen, and started to fill them out.
*****LUNCH*****
Xigbar, Vexen, Lexaeus, Axel, and Zexion all stood on the bleachers out in front of the track, a lit cigarette dangling between the redhead's lips. "Did any of you see the new guy at registration?" he asked. "Man."
"Hot?" Xigbar asked.
"Like you wouldn't believe," Axel said, grinning.
Demyx and Marluxia walked through the cafeteria until they came to the table where Roxas, Xion, and Luxord. "Hey, guys," Marluxia said, he and Demyx sitting next to them. "This is Demyx. He just moved here from Destiny Island."
"Destiny Island, huh?" Roxas asked, one eyebrow raised. His reaction was pretty normal. Destiny Island was really different than Twilight Town where Oblivion High was.
"Hey, guys!" A short girl with short burgundy hair in a pink dress headed over to the table.
"Uh-oh," Roxas muttered. "Here comes Kairi Heart. The most annoying girl at Oblivion Hi—Hi!" He changed as Kairi came closer.
"You're the new boy, aren't you?" she asked, smiling at Demyx. "You must think me terribly rude not to introduce myself. Hi, I'm Kairi He—art!" She hopped up from where she'd started to sit down, the group (with the exception of Demyx) laughing as she picked up an apple core. "Anyway," she continued with a nervous laugh, "I hope you audition to be a cheerleader and we'll get to know each other and be life-long friends."
"What do you think about Demyx?" Marluxia asked, leaning forward with his chin in his hand. "Do you think we could make him a Pink Lady?"
Roxas looked over to where Demyx was looking over a piece of paper with Kairi. "Nah," he replied with a small shrug. "He looks too pure to be pink."
"So, Demyx," Marluxia said, breaking apart him and Kairi, "what did you do this summer?"
"I spent most of it at the beach," the blonde replied with a smile. "I met a boy there."
"Go to the beach just for some boy?" Roxas asked.
"Well, he was sort of special," Demyx said.
Roxas grinned. "There ain't no such thing," he told him.
Demyx looked over at Kairi again as he kept talking. "It was really romantic," he continued.
"So, Zexion, what did you do at the beach?" Lexaeus asked, looking up at the slatenette.
"Come on, you guys, you don't want to hear all the details," Zexion replied.
"Yeah, we do!" Axel exclaimed, Xigbar grabbing the slatenette's jacket.
"Get off!" Zexion yelled with a small grin, pushing Xigbar away. "I'll tell you. I met this guy, crazy for me."
"I met this guy, cute as can be," Demyx said.
"Did you get very far?" Xigbar asked, leaning closer.
"Does he have a car?" Luxord asked.
"He swam by me, he got a cramp," Zexion said, a grin coming to his face. "I saved his life, he nearly drowned. Something began."
"He ran by me, got my suit damp," Demyx said. "He showed off, splashing around. Something began."
"Was it love at first sight?" Marluxia asked with a smile.
"Did he put up a fight?" Axel teased.
"Took him bowling in the arcade," Zexion said, his grin growing. "We made out under the dock."
"We went strolling, drank lemonade," Demyx said, standing up. "We stayed out 'till 10 o'clock."
"Tell more," Vexen said, "but you don't have to brag."
"He sounds like a drag," Roxas said, leaning back on his elbows on the lunch bench.
"He got friendly, holding my hand," Demyx said, looking over at Marluxia. "He was sweet, just turned eighteen."
"He got friendly down in the sand," Zexion smirked, looking down at his friends from a higher bleacher bench. "He was good, ya know what I mean."
"How much did he spend?" Xion asked, leaning forward with her chin in her hand.
"Can she get me a friend?" Xigbar asked, Axel slapping the back of his head to get him to shut up.
"It got colder, that's where it ends," Demyx said, walking away from the lunch table, Marluxia and the other still staring after him.
"I told him we'd still be friends," Zexion said, starting to head to the top corner of the bleachers.
"Then we made our true love vow," Demyx said with a smile.
"Wonder what he's doing now," Zexion wondered, looking over the campus.
"Summer dreams," they said together on opposite sides of the school, "ripped at the seams but, oh, those summer nights."
The bell rang and everyone headed back inside for the rest of school. After school, Demyx walked outside with Marluxia, Roxas, Luxord, and Xion. "So, Demyx," the brunette said, "what was this guy's name? The one you met at the beach?"
"Zexion," the blonde replied with a smile. "Zexion Schemer."
Luxord and Xion started snickering until Roxas hushed them. "Well, he sounds great," Roxas said with a smile. "And maybe someday, if you believe, he'll come back again."
"You really believe so, Roxas?" Demyx asked hopefully.
"Oh, I know so," he replied, the grin still on his face.
"You really think so, Marluxia?" Demyx asked as the two stayed back a little ways.
"Um, come on, Demyx," the brunette said, pulling the blonde behind him. "Let's go."
*****THE PEP RALLY*****
Demyx stood with the rest of the cheerleaders as the gym coach, Leon Squall, made a pep speech about the homecoming football game. Demyx looked over to the football team, smiling when a brunette player, Sora Strife, mouthed 'Hi' at him. When the pep rally was over, Demyx waved at Sora before seeing Marluxia and running over to him.
"You were great," the brunette said, smiling.
"I did horrible," the blonde said, but a smile was on his face.
"Hey, Zex, look at that," Xigbar said, leaning against a car as they watched the rally from the parking lot.
Zexion looked up to see Axel parking a car. And not just any car. An old car with scratched red and black paint that just looked horrible. "What is this?" he asked, crossing his arms.
"This is my car," Axel replied, pulling the keys out and sitting on the top of the driver's seat. "What does it look like?"
"Looks like a pile of crap," Xigbar joked with a laugh.
"I'm gonna race her on Thunder Road," the redhead said.
"This thing is gonna be on Thunder Road?" Vexen asked in disbelief. "I'd pay to see that happen."
"Shut up," Axel muttered.
"Hey," Vexen said, seeing a black car with silver flames on it growing closer. "What are Scorpions doing here? This ain't their turf."
The car drove by, a silver-haired man in the driver's seat. Xemnas Superior. He flipped them off before driving off with a laugh.
"Hey, Demyx," Roxas said, grabbing the blonde's arm. "Come on. I got someone I want you to meet."
"Who is it, Roxas?" Demyx asked, a smile on his face as the blonde pulled him up to Zexion and his friends, though he was still behind him.
"Hey, Zex," the shorter blonde said, grinning at the slatenette. "I got someone for you to meet."
"Yeah?" Zexion turned, leaning against Axel's "car". "Who?"
Roxas grinned, noticing that Axel's eyes never left him, and pulled Demyx in front of him. The blonde's smile grew. "Zexion?" he asked.
"Demyx?" Zexion asked, a smile instantly growing on his face. "I-I don't believe it! I-I thought you were going back to Destiny Island."
"We had a change of plans," Demyx said, his smile never fading.
Zexion started to say something else before he noticed the gazes around him. "I mean, that's cool," he said, shoving his hands in his pockets. "Whatever you want."
"Zexion?" Demyx asked in confusion.
"That's my name, don't wear it out," the slatenette said, a small grin on his face.
"What's wrong?" the blonde tried asking.
"What do you mean? This is how I am. This is how I always was."
Demyx frowned, his hands starting to shake, thinking Zexion had just played with him. "Zexion Schemer, you're a fake and a phony and I wish I'd never laid eyes on you!" he yelled, running away to a car a few rows down.
"Oh, he wishes he'd never laid eyes on you," Xigbar teased with a grin, never noticing Zexion's expression as Demyx ran away.
Marluxia glared at all of them before chasing after the blonde, Luxord and Xion following. Roxas took one last look at Axel before following them.
Marluxia walked up to Demyx ,putting his hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, brushing a strand of hair out of the blonde's eyes.
"He was so nice to me this summer," Demyx said, tears threatening to fall.
Marluxia gave a comforting grin, rubbing the blonde's back. "Don't worry about it," he comforted. "Men are horrible. But for some reason, we still love them." Demyx gave a small smile, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. "Hey, I'm having a sleepover with Rox, Lux, and Xion. You wanna come?"
"I'd like that," Demyx said with a smile.
"Let's go," the brunette said, taking the blonde's hand.
*****MARLUXIA'S HOUSE—NIGHT*****
Roxas sat with his back against the headboard of Marluxia's bed in a pair of black shorts and a white T-shirt; Luxord sat on the edge of Marluxia's bed in a pair of oversized white shorts and a green T-shirt with 'Choose Your Weapon' on it in black with a picture of dice under it; Xion sat on the floor with her back against the T.V. in a pair of yellow shorts and a black camisole; Marluxia sat on the window seat in a pink T-shirt and a pair of purple shorts; Demyx was sitting next to Marluxia in a pair of blue cotton pajama pants decorated with bubbles and a black T-shirt with a 'IX' on the back in bright blue letters.
"How 'bout something to get the party going?" Roxas smirked, pulling an unopened bottle of wine out from a bag behind him on the bed.
"Imported," Xion said with an appreciative tone.
"Hey, Demyx, you want some?" Marluxia asked after the bottle had been passed around once.
"I bet you haven't even had a drink before," Roxas smirked, leaning forward slightly.
"Well, I had some champagne at my cousin's wedding once," Demyx said.
"Wow, real wild child we have here," Roxas said, rolling his eyes.
Xion held out the bottle, Demyx taking it with a tentative hand. He took a long drink, choking a little bit before handing it back. "Want one?" Roxas asked, now holding out a lit cigarette.
"I-I don't smoke," the blonde stuttered nervously.
"Just one," Roxas prompted with a small grin, holding it out more. Demyx gulped, taking the cigarette and taking a small drag. He held it out in front of him, practically choking when he inhaled. "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you. You shouldn't inhale unless you're used to it."
"Hey, Demyx," Marluxia interrupted, Roxas taking back the cigarette, "do you want me pierce your ears?"
"Duh duh duh," Roxas, Xion, and Luxord chanted in eerie voices. Marluxia glared at them. "Duh!"
"I don't know, Marly," Demyx replied, a little nervous about it.
"Oh, come on," the brunette prompted.
"I don't know," the blonde repeated. "My father won't like it."
"Here, Marluxia, you can use my pin," Luxord said, handing the brunette a sharp pin.
"Aah!" Demyx yelped when it pricked his ear.
"Come on, Demyx," Marluxia said, pulling the blonde up. "My folks will flip if I get blood on the carpet."
"B-Blood?" Demyx stuttered.
"Oh, it only bleeds for a second," Marluxia said, closing the bathroom door behind them.
A few minutes and a yelp later, Marluxia walked out of the bathroom alone and closing the door behind him. "Guys, Demyx is sick," he said. "I just did one ear, he saw the blood, and bleh."
"You're not getting your hands on my ears," Xion said, holding her hands over her ears.
"Well, you'll be sorry because I have been accepted to Traverse Beauty School," Marluxia smirked, sitting beside her.
"You mean you're dropping out of Oblivion?" Xion asked in disbelief.
"I don't think of it as dropping out," the brunette argued, "I think of it as a very strategic career move."
"Well, I think it's a little cold out," Luxord said, pulling on a jacket with a twisting dragon on the back.
"Where'd you get that?" Roxas asked, looking at the back.
"From Kadaj," the blonde smirked.
"A student?" Xion asked.
"No, he's a marine," Luxord smirked.
"A marine?" Roxas asked in disbelief, giving the blonde a high-five.
"Wanna see a picture?" Luxord pulled out his wallet, the pictures falling down in a row.
"God, you're turning into a one-man U.S.O.," Roxas commented, looking at them all. "Why's this one torn?"
Luxord looked over his shoulder before taking the wallet back. "His old boyfriend was in the picture," he muttered, tossing the wallet away.
"Demyx?" Marluxia asked, opening the door just a crack to get a toothbrush through. "Here's your toothbrush."
"Thanks, Marly," Demyx's voice came from inside. "I'm sorry to be such a bother."
"It's nothing," the brunette assured him, the door shutting again.
Roxas frowned, using a brush to spike up his hair to resemble Demyx's. "Little Mr. goody-two shoes is getting on my last nerve," he muttered, turning to the rest of the group. "Look at me. I'm Demyx Nocturne. I don't drink, or smoke. I get ill from one cigarette. Won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed." He pranced around the room, primping his hair until Luxord coughed for him to stop. Roxas turned around, flattening his hair out again when he saw Demyx standing in the doorway of the bathroom.
"Are you making fun of me, Rox?" he asked.
Roxas spiked his hair back up like it normally was, trying to avoid the taller's gaze. "Some people are so touchy," he muttered.
Outside, Axel was driving down Marluxia's street, Zexion in the passenger seat and Xigbar, Lexaeus, and Vexen sitting in the back with bottles of beer in their hands. He stopped in front of Marluxia's house, the group upstairs moving to look out the window.
"They can't come up here," Marluxia said, pulling back the curtains, "my folks'll flip!"
"Someone needs to call her," Lexaeus said.
"Oh, Demyx, Demyx," Xigbar called, standing up. "Where for art thou Demyx?"
"Shut up!" Axel yelled, pushing him back down in the car.
"I don't know about you guys," Roxas said, pulling on his tennis shoes (he'd changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a white T-shirt), "but I'm gonna get my kicks while I'm still young enough to get them."
They watched as the blonde climbed out the window. "What's he gonna do, shimmy down the drainpipe?" Marluxia asked in disbelief.
"Hey, look, there's Roxas," Lexaeus said, pointing up at the blonde climbing down off the roof.
"Hey, Roxas, you're doing that without a net," Vexen teased as he walked closer with a hand in his pocket.
"Hey, Axel," Roxas grinned, leaning against the car. "You got a lot to offer a guy."
Axel grinned, shifting in his seat. "You bet I do," he smirked.
Roxas grinned still, looking over at Zexion. "What's up, Zex?" he asked.
Zexion looked over. "You're looking good, Roxas," he muttered.
"Eat your heart out," the blonde teased.
Zexion smirked. "Sorry, but sloppy seconds aren't my style," he replied, pulling himself out of the car. "I'm just gonna go home."
Roxas shrugged as the slatenette walked away, taking his seat next to Axel in the car. The redhead pulled the car out of the driveway, starting to move before coming to a quick stop. Roxas moved to his knees, looking at the three behind him. "All right," he said, "what do you think this is? A gangbang?"
"You wish," Xigbar smirked.
"Get out of the car!" Axel yelled, the three moving out to stand in the street. Roxas grinned, moving closer as the redhead moved his arm around his shoulders before driving off.
"When a guy chooses a chick over his buddies, something's wrong!" Xigbar yelled. He growled softly. "Come on, guys. Let's go get some ice cream."
"I don't know what I saw in him," Demyx said, sitting next to Luxord on Marluxia's bed.
"Don't sweat it, dude," the blonde muttered, stopping what he was doing and handing him his wallet. "Have one of mine."
"Wow," Demyx said, looking over all the pictures. "There's so many of them. How do you keep up with them all?
"I'm a terrific pen pal," Luxord mumbled.
Demyx looked over at the slightly taller blonde. He was using a sharpie and writing on a deck of playing cards, more decks spread out in front of him. "Can I have a couple of those?" he asked.
"Sure thing," Luxord muttered, handing the blonde a few cards.
Marluxia watched from his place behind Xion as he did her hair as Demyx walked out of the bedroom.
Demyx walked outside in the backyard, kneeling by the kiddie pool filled with water in the middle of the yard. "I can't help but love him," he said to himself. "He was so sweet to me. He was cute." He sighed, flinging a card in the water and watching it float around. "Hopelessly devoted to him."
****short break, because I didn't feel that the next scene deserved to go after Demyx's little alone scene****
Along a line of parked cars at the edge of a short cliff-like drop was Axel's car. Inside, Axel and Roxas were making out to no end, Axel's hand already down the blonde's pants. "Do you have it?" Roxas gasped, breaking away.
"Oh, yeah," Axel smirked, reaching into his wallet. "Heh. My 25 cent insurance policy." Roxas grinned before Axel's face fell. "It broke."
"What? How could it break?"
The redhead groaned, throwing it to the floor. "I bought it when I was in the 7th grade."
"Oh…" Roxas slumped down in his seat, Axel running his hand through his hair with a small sigh. "What the hell." Roxas started making out with the redhead again.
Xemnas backed up to Axel's car, his arm around a blue-haired man (Saix Diviner). He backed up, putting a nice dent in the car. "What the hell are you doing here?" Axel growled, moving to look out the window.
"You're parked in a no parking zone," Xemnas grinned.
"The whole place is a no parking zone, idiot," Axel growled.
Xemnas glared back at him, backing into his car again. Axel's eyes widened as something fell off the back end. "You're gonna pay for that!" he yelled.
"Yeah, well I'll give you 75 cents for the whole thing," Xemnas said. "And that includes your chick." Roxas's brow furrowed at that. Xemnas laughed, a grin on Saix's face as they drove away.
*****THE NEXT DAY—AUTOSHOP*****
"Man, that looks bad," Xigbar said, looking at the dent in Axel's car.
"No shit, Sherlock," Axel muttered, sitting on the top of the driver's seat.
"Come on, guys," Zexion said. He opened the hood, Axel cringing at the creaking. "This car could be could be a major piece of machinery. Why, this car could be systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic, it could be greased lighting. Get some overhead lifters and some four barrel quads."
"Keep talking, Zex," Axel grinned. "I like what I'm hearing."
"With fuel injection cut-off and chrome plated rods," Zexion continued.
"We'll get her ready," Axel smirked. "I'll kill to get her ready."
"Purple French taillights and thirty inch fins," the slatenette continued on. "A palomino dashboard and dual muffler twins. With new pistons, plugs, and shocks, Roxas will be at your door faster than ever and more than willing."
"Let's get her started," Axel grinned.
*****DISNEY ICE CREAM PALACE*****
"Alright, the meeting as officially started," Axel said, sitting on the end of a bench with the rest of the group.
Zexion sighed, turning to see Demyx sitting with Sora, a milkshake with two straws in between them. "You want some new music?" the blonde asked, standing up as the brunette nodded. "I'll need some money." Demyx smiled as Sora handed him a dime, walking down from their table.
Axel whistled as he stopped to pass by him, standing in front of the jukebox. Zexion walked around the opposite direction, getting stopped by Kairi. "Hey, Zexion," she said with a smile.
"I can't talk now, Kairi," Zexion said, trying to get away but she kept talking.
"Call me," she said when he finally got away.
"Hey," the slatenette said, standing next to Demyx at the jukebox. "How are you?"
"Fine, thanks," Demyx said.
"Hey, I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time now."
"What about?"
"That night at the pep rally. I mean, I know how I acted. I mean, it wasn't me, you gotta believe that. I mean, it was me, of course, but it wasn't me and…you see, Demyx, I got this image, right? And—"
"Well, that's why I'm so glad that Sora is such a simple person." He gave a small wave to the brunette.
Zexion smirked. "Yeah, too bad he has no brains."
"Jealous?"
"Jealous? Oh, come on, Demyx, don't make me laugh."
"Well, what have you ever done?"
"Oh, come on. I can run circles around those jerks."
"I'll believe that when I see it." Demyx walked away, leaving Zexion standing by the jukebox alone.
*****SCHOOL—GYM*****
Zexion stood in the gym in his jeans, T-shirt, and leather jacket looking over the gymnasts practicing, a lit cigarette between his lips. Leon walked up to him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Give me that," he said, taking the cigarette and putting it out. "Now, let's get you changed."
"That's why I'm here," Zexion said. "To change."
Leon sighed. "Oh, boy," he muttered, running a hand through his hair.
A few minutes later, Leon and Zexion stood out on the basketball court, watching the players. "All right boy," Leon said, calling them over. "Now, Zexion's a new man and I want you to help him out."
The ball was thrown at the slatenette, the teenager glaring at the thrower. "Go," Leon said, crossing his arms. Zexion started for the basket, but didn't dribble once. "Stop, stop." Zexion walked over to him with the ball under his arm. "You gotta dribble," he said, doing a quick demonstration. "Dribble. Alright, let's try this again. Go." Zexion started dribbling a little until the ball was stolen and a basket made. Zexion stood in front of the player trying to pass before he gave him a quick punch to the gut, the ball dropping out of his hands. Leon blew the whistle, giving a small groan as he shook his head.
The next few sports didn't do any good for the slatenette either. Wrestling…Zexion just got pinned every which way. Baseball…He got mad at the umpire for calling his one hit a foul ball. Finally, Leon pushed him toward Track and Field.
Zexion was running around the track when he noticed Demyx standing with Sora in the bleachers, watching him. His gaze switched back and forth between the track and Demyx as he jumped over hurdles until he tripped over the last one, falling to the ground.
Demyx's eyes widened and he ran over to the slatenette brushing the dirt off his gray sweats. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Zexion muttered, walking with the blonde. "Are you going to the dance?"
"Well, that all depends," Demyx replied with a smile.
"On what?" Zexion wondered.
The blonde still smiled. "On you."
Zexion grinned, moving his arm around the taller's waist. They looked back at Sora who was still staring at them before running off, a smile on their faces.
*****DISNEY ICE CREAM PALACE*****
Zexion pulled his black car into the parking lot, helping Demyx out of the other side. He smiled as they started in until he saw the rest of the T birds and the Pink Ladies inside. "Uh, Demyx, why don't we go somewhere else?" he asked, starting to turn away.
"But, why?" Demyx asked, pulling the slatenette toward the door.
"It's just that…we can't be alone here," Zexion tried to explain.
"But, we're here already."
Zexion sighed, taking the blonde's hand. He took a deep breath, running through the doors and up to a table, setting up menus to try to hide them. "I thought you were gonna pull my arm out of the socket," Demyx joked. "What's your hurry?"
"I just wanted to get this table," Zexion lied, taking the blonde's hands. "It's the best table they got here."
"Hey, kids," Mickey, the elderly manager of the ice cream palace said, walking up to the table. "What'll you have?"
"Um…" Demyx looked over the menu quickly, "I'll have a cherry soda."
"Uh, I'm not that hungry," Zexion said. "Just get me a hamburger with everything and a cherry soda with chocolate ice cream."
"That sounds good," the blonde said. "I'll have the same." Mickey nodded, walking away with their order.
"Hey," Axel said, moving away the menus. "What are you two doing?"
"Hey, Axel," Zexion muttered, the redhead and Roxas sitting beside them.
"What's going on over here?" Xigbar, Vexen, Lexaeus, Luxord, Xion, and Marluxia joined the table. Marluxia had a bandana around his head, hiding all of his hair.
"Here you go, kids," Mickey said, setting the food down on the table.
Roxas looked at the mirror he'd gotten from Marluxia, poking one of the purple marks on his neck experimentally. "I got more hickeys than I can count," he muttered.
"Hey, at least you're getting some," Axel grinned, taking a bite out of Zexion's hamburger. "What's been going on with you?" Roxas didn't answer. "Tell me or we're finished."
Roxas glared at the redhead, picking up Demyx's milkshake. "Finish this!" he yelled, throwing the milkshake on Axel's face. "Sorry, guys." He ran out of the place.
"Roxas!" Axel yelled, running after him, milkshake still running down his face. "Roxas! I wanna talk with you!"
"Come on, Demyx," Zexion said, leading the blonde out of the place. Pretty soon, only Marluxia was left.
Mickey walked over, a washcloth in his hands. "No use crying over spilled milkshake," he said, smiling at Marluxia. "We're closing up soon."
"Do you mind if I stay a little longer, Mick?" Marluxia asked, undoing the bandana around his head.
"Sure thing," the older man said, picking up the plates and cups. His eyes widened at the sight of Marluxia's hair. Marluxia pulled off the bandana, his once brown hair cascading down over his shoulders in a pale pink color. "I don't mean to alarm you, but your hair is pink."
Marluxia smiled, laughing a bit. "Yeah, I had a little trouble in tinting class," he admitted. "In fact, I had a little trouble in all my classes. Beauty school isn't all I thought it would be."
"Nothing ever is," Mickey said, walking over to the kitchen.
"Mick," Marluxia said, "I dropped out. What do you think about being a waiter?"
Mickey laughed a bit. "You're too young to know," he said with a smile. "I'll see ya later, kid."
Marluxia smiled, but even as he walked out of the ice cream place, he kept hearing a voice tell him 'Go back to high school.'
*****SCHOOL—JUST BEFORE THE DANCE*****
"The one dance to be at and we don't have dates," Xion said, walking with Roxas outside the school. "Rox."
Roxas turned to see Axel standing just outside the school doors, a lit cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets. The blonde just turned around. "What about Cloud from the mechanic's place?" he asked.
"Get serious," Xion muttered.
"Just a suggestion," Roxas said.
"Well, he's not available," Xion said, crossing her arms. "I already called him."
Roxas looked up as a car drove closer. "I think our luck is changing," he said, smiling at Xemnas as he drove closer. The silverette gave them a nod, revving the engine of his car.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Xion asked.
"What we're doing," Roxas emphasized, pulling on her arm. "Come on." Xemnas opened his door, letting Roxas climb in the passenger seat and Xion climb in the back seat before driving off.
*****THE DANCE*****
The gym was filled with people, all ready to start with the dance-off on national television for National Bandstand. Xemnas walked in the dance in his silver tux, one arm around Roxas (in a gold tux) and the other around Xion (in her black dress). "Um, I'm gonna go get something to drink," Xion said, moving out of the silverette's grip and heading off. Xemnas shrugged, his arm still around Roxas as he walked on.
"Vex, how do I look?" Marluxia asked as they walked in the dance together, Vexen in his light blue tux, Marluxia in his pale pink one.
"Like a beautiful pink flower," Vexen said, his arm around Marluxia's waist as they walked in.
Lexaeus in his orange tux watched Xion from a distance, his hand around a bottle of alcohol. Xigbar in his light purple tux and Luxord in his peach tux walked in together, walking off toward the refreshment table.
"Oh, Zexion, I don't know if I can do this," Demyx said, walking in with Zexion in his blue tux. "What if I get camera fright?"
"Don't worry about it," the slatenette (in his purple tux) said with a grin, the arm around Demyx's shoulders tightening slightly. "You'll be fine."
Pretty soon, the band started up, a warm-up song playing that everyone was dancing to.
Xion stood over near a camera, moving her hips to the beat. The silver-haired host of National Bandstand, Riku Dawn, saw her and grinned, moving over to her. "Hey, there," he said, her attention instantly on him. He was the one she'd been looking for, after all. "Do your parents know I'm in your room every night?" He grinned again. "At 7 o'clock on TV." Xion laughed a bit. "What's your name?"
"Xion," she replied.
"Yeah?" Riku asked. "Xion what?"
"Memory," she replied, smiling slightly.
"I'm hosting the dance off tonight," Riku said, leaning on the camera.
"I don't think I'm entered," Xion said.
Riku smirked. "A knock-out like you?" he asked, Xion's smile growing slightly.
Roxas saw Axel in a red tux dancing with Saix in a teal tux and stopped dancing, Xemnas turning to see what was wrong. He saw Axel and started to go after him when Roxas grabbed his arm, pulling him back with a smile.
"A melody," Zexion sang softly, dancing with Demyx with a smile, "that's never the same. A melody that's calling your name."
"Did you ever think about singing professionally?" the blonde teased, Zexion's singing getting worse and worse with a laugh.
"Hey, Zex," Axel said, the couple stopping. Zexion saw Saix and tried to move away. "I want you to meet Saix Diviner."
"How's it goin' Zex?" Saix asked with a grin.
"Fine, thanks," Zexion said, still trying to get away. "Let's go, Demyx." The blonde looked over his shoulder at them before the slatenette pulled them away.
"Who's that guy?" he asked as they started dancing again.
"Uh, he's just a guy I know, that's all," Zexion replied.
"How do you know him?" Demyx asked a few minutes later.
"He's just an old friend of the family's, that's all," Zexion replied.
A few minutes later, Larxene and Leon walked up to the stage where the band was playing, picking up a microphone as the students crowded around. "Alright, now, settle down," Leon said.
"In a few minutes, the entire world will be watching our school, God help us," Larxene said.
"There are a few game rules before we begin, though," Leon added.
"First of all," Larxene listed. "All couples must be boy-girl or boy-boy. (a/n: XD) Second, any dancing that is inappropriate results in immediate disqualification from the contest. And now, Mr. Riku Dawn." No one came up and she looked around. "Riku Dawn."
Riku heard his name and quickly moved away from Xion, running up to the stage and grabbing the microphone. "Let's have some fun!" he announced with a smile. "And if you're tapped on the shoulder, step back and let the others finish the ride!" The band started up as he hopped off the stage, moving to dance with Xion during his judging breaks.
Before long, Vexen and Marluxia were out as well as Roxas and Xemnas. As Xemnas was walking back to the bleachers, he saw Axel and Saix and tried to force them apart. Leon had to come over and break up the fight, Axel and Saix getting disqualified in the process.
After a few more minutes, Demyx and Zexion were dancing together, the rest of the students watching. Saix watched from the crowd, his arms crossed. When the two danced closer, someone grabbed the blonde and Saix pulled Zexion away, starting to dance with him. Larxene held out the trophy to the two after they won, Saix gladly snatching it up.
"Well, who're our lucky winners?" Riku asked when the music stopped, Xion right at his side.
"Saix Diviner and Zexion Schemer!" Saix exclaimed, a smile on his face as he held up the trophy.
"Now let's see our champs in a spotlight dance," Riku announced.
During this, Zexion hadn't even noticed that Demyx had left.
*****THE NEXT NIGHT—DRIVE-IN*****
Demyx and Zexion sat in Zexion's black car in the local drive-in, Zexion's arm around Demyx's shoulders. The slatenette sighed as the blonde shrugged off his arm. "Listen, Demyx," he said, "I told you I was sorry. Don't you believe me?"
"I believe you," Demyx said. "But I also believe that you and Saix went together."
"We didn't go together," Zexion said. "We just went together."
"That's the same thing!" Demyx argued.
"No…no it's not," Zexion muttered. Demyx sighed, turning his attention back to the movie.
Luxord, Xion, and Marluxia parked their car in the drive-in, getting out to see Xigbar, Lexaeus, and Vexen. "I'm gonna go freshen up, kay?" Luxord asked, moving towards the bathrooms. "Roxas?" he asked, seeing the blonde standing outside with a cigarette between his lips. "Are you okay?"
"I feel like a human test tube," Roxas muttered.
"What?"
"I have an STD," Roxas said quickly with a glare.
"From Axel?" Luxord asked in disbelief.
"Don't tell anyone," the blonde said, putting out his cigarette.
"Take it to the grave," Luxord promised as they started to walk back. "Move aside, move aside! Guy with a disease!" Roxas glared at him before walking off alone.
"Hey, what's going on?" Xigbar asked.
"Roxas' got an STD," Luxord whispered. Xigbar's eyes widened slightly. He walked over to the car nearest him and passed the word on.
Axel leaned down after lighting his cigarette, listening to what someone whispered to him. "Hey, Rox," he said, walking over to the blonde walking by. "Heard you got a disease."
"Wow, word travels fast," Roxas muttered, glaring at Luxord as he walked by.
Zexion looked over at the blonde before looking down at his hand. He pulled off the silver ring on his middle finger. "Demyx," the blonde looked over at him, "will you wear my ring?"
"Oh, Zexion," Demyx said, sliding the ring on. "This means so much to me. This means you respect me."
Zexion gave a small grin, but it fell when the blonde looked back at the screen. A light bulb switched on in his head. He put his hand on Demyx's leg.
Demyx frowned, looking down when the hand started to move up his leg. "Zexion!" he squealed, grabbing the hand.
"Demyx!" Zexion exclaimed, pushing the blonde down and lying on top of him. "Don't worry, no one's watching!"
"Zexion, get off of me!" Demyx yelled, his voice getting higher with the last word. He pushed Zexion away.
"What's wrong, Demyx?" Zexion asked, the blonde quickly opening the door and getting out, moving over to try to stop him.
Demyx slammed the door shut, Zexion falling back in the seat with a pained expression on his face. "You think that'd I stay here with you in this…sin wagon?" he yelled, pulling the ring off his hand and throwing it in the car. "You can take this piece of…tin!" He ran off, leaving Zexion alone.
"Come on, Demyx!" the slatenette yelled after him. "You just can't walk out of a drive-in!" He sighed as the blonde ran out of sight, getting out of the car. "Don't know what I'm gonna do without you, Demyx," he whispered to himself. "I'm sorry."
*****SCHOOL—AUTO SHOP*****
"Bring her out," Zexion said, he, Xigbar, Vexen, and Lexaeus leading Axel's car out. The paint had been redone and it was now a pure red color, black lightning going down the sides. "Head it on out."
"Looks pretty good," the teacher, a tall man with long silver hair, Sephiroth, said, sitting on the top of the passenger seat.
"Considering all the parts you stole," Zexion pointed out.
"Hey, some were donated," Xigbar corrected with a grin.
"This is gonna knock them on their asses at Thunder Road," Axel grinned, giving the dashboard a pat.
"You gonna come watch, Seph?" Vexen asked, looking over at the silverette.
Sephiroth grinned, moving out of the car. "I don't expect my boys to let me down, I won't let them down," he replied. "I'll be there."
*****SCHOOL—OUTSIDE*****
"Hey, Roxas," Demyx said, smiling as he passed the shorter blonde outside. "Are you going to Thunder Road?"
"Nah, I'll be fine here," Roxas said, a small grin on his face.
"Ok, then, I'll see you later," Demyx said, giving a small wave as he ran off to join Marluxia at the car.
Roxas leaned against the outside wall of Oblivion High. Kairi walked outside with two other girls, noticing the blonde. "That's the one I was telling you about," she said to the girls, not trying at all to make her voice soft.
Roxas stared after them, sighing lightly when they were out of sight. "There are worse things I could do," he mumbled to himself, "then go with a boy or two. I could stay home every night. Take cold showers everyday." He walked from behind a pole as Axel started his car, driving off. "But to cry in front of you…well, that's the worst thing I could do."
*****THUNDER ROAD*****
Axel looked around Thunder Road, leaning back against his car. "If she was in any better condition, she would fly," Sephiroth said, slamming the hood down.
"Hope you're ready," Xemnas smirked, leaning over the door of his car. "Cause we're racing for pinks."
Xion smiled, then looked down at the ground. "Fine a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck!" she exclaimed happily, picking up a penny.
"Give me that," Luxord said, snatching it away. He walked around the car, holding it out to the redhead. "Here you go, Axel. I brought you a penny for good luck." Axel shrugged, but Luxord dropped it before he could grab it.
Axel leaned down, but when he was about it pick it up, Xigbar opened the driver's door, slamming it into his head. The redhead collapsed to the ground, clutching his head.
"Axel!" Zexion exclaimed, everyone moving over to make sure the redhead was okay. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah," Axel said, a smile on his face. "I'm fine, Zex. I'm just wondering why there are two of you."
"He can't drive like this," Lexaeus said.
"Hey," Zexion said, "do you want me to drive for you?" Axel frowned slightly, before nodding a little.
(a/n: kinda lazy and ready to fall asleep from both boredom and from writing this fucking thing out, I'm gonna skip the initial race. Sorry! : ) )
Demyx watched from a distance as Zexion celebrated with everyone else. Marluxia looked over, seeing the blonde in the distance. Smiling, he ran over as the other stood up. "Are you okay, Dem?" the pinknette asked.
"I'm fine," Demyx replied with a smile. "Hey, Marly, can you help me with something?"
Marluxia smiled. "Of course!" he exclaimed happily, smiling. "Come on!"
Demyx pulled on his sneakers, taking one last look at the crowd of celebrating teenagers. "Goodbye to Demyx Nocturne," he whispered, following Marluxia away from Thunder Road.
Zexion watched as Demyx walked away, a sad expression on his face.
*****LAST DAY OF SCHOOL—SCHOOL CARNIVAL*****
"Roxas!" Axel yelled, looking up at the blonde riding the Ferris wheel. "Get off of that thing!"
"Forget it, it was a false alarm!" Roxas yelled down at him.
"What?"
"I don't have anything!"
Axel grinned, racing over to the exit as blonde got off with a smile. "Yeah, well, I'll make an honest man of you," he said, still grinning.
"Listen, fella, if this is a line, I ain't biting," Roxas said, trying to pass him by.
"That's a bona fide offer," the redhead said, stopping the blonde in his tracks, both hands on either side of him.
"Well, it ain't moonlight and roses, but…" Roxas stopped talking as he started making out with Axel.
Xigbar, Vexen, and Lexaeus walked through the carnival, each in their leather jackets. "I can't believe I flunked phys ed."
"Did I even take phys ed?" Vexen muttered, looking over his report card.
"Throw a pie and support a good cause," Sephiroth said, holding out a pie. "The teacher's retirement fund."
"Coach, how could you flunk the T birds?" Xigbar asked.
"Don't worry," Leon smirked from his place behind a wooden board. "You can get your diplomas. All you gotta do is go to summer school."
"Summer school?" Xigbar yelled, taking a pie and throwing it.
Leon watched as it hit a few inches away from his face. "See, if you had come to class, you wouldn't have missed," he grinned.
Growling, the three walked away from the booth, seeing Zexion walk closer. The slatenette, instead of being in his leather jacket, was in his usual outfit with a letterman's jacket on. "Whoa whoa whoa," Xigbar whistled. "What's this? Did you beat up a jock?"
"While you guys were out stealing hubcaps, I lettered in track," Zexion explained with a grin.
"You're abandoning us?" Lexaeus asked.
"Oh, come on," Zexion said, sticking a hand in his pants pocket. "You guys can't follow a leader all your life, can you?"
Xigbar snorted, turning his head slightly. He hit Vexen, the blonde looking. Vexen hit Lexaeus, the orange-haired man looking before hitting Zexion, who also looked.
Whistles followed Demyx as he walked toward them, Marluxia, Xion, and Luxord behind him. He was in a pair of black leather pants, a tight black tanktop that hugged his torso, a pair of black boots, and a black leather jacket, a lit cigarette between his lips.
"Demyx," Zexion said, his eyes widening.
"Tell me about it," the blonde purred.
Zexion looked behind him, but Xigbar, Vexen, and Lexaeus were all staring at the blonde with wide eyes and dropped jaws. "I got chills, they're multiplying," he said, stripping off his jacket and tossing it behind him. "And I'm losing control. For the power you're supplying. It's electrifying!" He fell to the ground.
Demyx looked behind him for what he should do next, his friends coaching him. He threw his cigarette to the ground in front of Zexion, putting it out with his foot. "You better shape up," he said, using the same boot to push up on the slatenette's chest to get him to stand up. "'Cause I need a man. And my heart is set on you." The slatenette started to follow him to the fun house, a smile on his face. "You better shape up. You better understand." He turned around, walking backwards to face him. "To my heart I must be true."
"Nothing left, nothing left for me to do," Zexion said, still following.
"You're the one that I want," they both said together, Zexion falling to his knees, Demyx looking over his shoulder as he walked up the stairs to the fun house. "You-oo-oo honey. The one that I want. You-oo-oo honey." Demyx grinned as he turned back around, knowing exactly where Zexion's eyes kept straying every time he turned his back to him. "The one that I want. You-oo-oo. The one I need. Oh, yes, indeed." Demyx crooked a finger at the shorter, moving further into the fun house. Zexion grinned, getting up off the ground and following.
"If you're filled with affection," Demyx said, turning a corner with the slatenette still obediently following him. "You're too shy to convey. Meditate in my direction." He slid his hand down the length of his body and back up. "Feel your way.
"Wow!" Zexion yelled, falling back before catching up again. "I better shape up. 'Cause you need a man."
"I need a man," Demyx agreed, pushing him back slightly. "Who can keep me satisfied."
"I better shape up," the slatenette continued. "If I'm gonna prove."
"You better prove," Demyx said, "that my faith is justified."
"Are you sure?" Zexion asked.
"Yes, I'm sure down deep inside," they both said. "You're the one that I want. You-oo-oo honey. The one that I want. You-oo-oo honey. The one that I want. You-oo-oo. The one I need. Oh, yes, indeed."
They moved on to the Shake Shack, their arms around each other. "You're the one that I want. You-oo-oo honey. The one that I want. You-oo-oo honey. The one that I want. You-oo-oo." Zexion's hands moved down Demyx's body before returning to his sides again. "The one I need. Oh, yes, indeed."
Zexion grinned, pressing his lips to Demyx's in a kiss. "The one that I want," he whispered with another kiss.
***END***
*****BLOOPERS*****
THERE ARE TOO MANY BLOOPERS FROM THIS ONE, SO WE'LL PROBABLY MAKE IT'S OWN CHAPTER FOR ALL OF OUR BLOOPERS.
***END (again?)***
So…tired.
Thank Kingdom Hearts for the fake cigarettes that when you inhale and exhale, it looks like you're actually smoking a cigarette, but it's totally fake. And thank the Egyptian gods for cigarette chewing gum, too, because it really helped us with some extra cigarettes that never actually got lit. Like the one that stayed behind Axel's ear, for example.
BTW: This is 19 pages typed, so if I don't get at least 5 reviews, I'll be really sad before I was forced to write this on my VACATION IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY via video chat with my sexy Zexy.
BTW 2: I will be posting a video soon on my youtube account with a small collection of Demyx's summer vacation here in Portugal. My Zexion came here without me knowing it, brought me a few Zemyx Day gifts, and we went cosplay sight-seeing. So I'll compile them all at some point and get that up.
*peace sign* Dem-Dem ouzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
