A/N: Updating the story is easier than I thought. Heck, I might as well add that it's too darn simple. It's the writing part that's hard. LOL! Anyways, I might be adding a few extra updates now and then since I'm bored. When I'm bored, you guys benefit. And since there's not a whole lot going on my life right now, you guys will probably be extra happy.
Oh and guys, don't forget to help! As good as I am, I'm still a beginner at this. So spelling and grammar checkers are appreciated. -8989™
-The Pyromaniac's Party-
Wrong.
They arrived at a mansion that fits in well with all the others on the block, minus the lights, loud music beating, and screams. The brunette signed. I have a feeling that it's going to be a looonnnng night.
"C'mon guys! They're waiting!" The emo kid didn't seem so emo anymore. Guess he likes parties too much to stay hardcore at one.
With that, the all stepped out of the black Mercedes and onto the front lawn of the party house.
Roxas took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell. A jet of flame erupted from the doorbell and nearly took Sora's head off. After a few moments of waiting in panic, waiting to see what else unpleasant the pyromaniac had up his sleeve, the devil himself came and answered the door.
"Hey guys! Glad you could make it! Like my new doorbell adjustment?" The red head was about to reach out and show them what the doorbell of death could do again when he got cut off.
"Yes, we have seen it. We don't need another close encounter with death again tonight, thank you." Roxas stepped into the house followed by the others.
It's been a while since he'd visited his friend's house. Since Axel's family moved away a few years ago. He didn't remember it this way. "Why is it so… Ordinary?" Was the question stuck in the newly arrived guests' head. This doesn't look anything close to the image I had in mind before. I mean that guy owned a Ferrari…
"Haha, yeah… My parents live in that one. I use this one since they don't like having young teens bouncing off their 'expensive furniture'… But honestly, I just think that they don't like young people in general. 'Too hyper' they say…
"SNORE!" A loud snoring sound cut Axel off in midsentence. It was coming from a blonde kid sprawled all over the living room's, or what's left of the living room's, couch.
"Demyx! Keep it down!" Axel shouted towards the general direction of the snoring kid. He somewhat turned over on the couch and gave a sign that resembled 'thumbs up'.
The late visitors looked around the house. There were people crashing inside the pool, people sitting in the hot tub beside the swimming pool, people chugging down bottles of beer, people sitting in front of the widescreen TV and gaming… It was one heck of a wild party.
Sora looked around and recognized some of the people at his school. He could remember a few like Hayner and Pence, the ones playing on the Xbox. Olette and Selphie chatted to a few other girls… The rest of the names were just a blur.
"The rest of them are beside the swimming pool, you guys wanna go?" As soon as Axel said that, Sora regretted not bringing his swim gear. All he had on was his usual black tee with a hoodie and black jeans. And those were probably not suitable for swimming.
Regardless of the clothing, they all followed the red hair guy to the pool. The swimming pool was shaped into a round circle with spikes sticking out. The deep end was positioned in the middle of the pool. Strange, but still pretty mind-blowing.
Axel and Riku had already ripped off their shirts off and cannonballed into the pool. Sora was about to take a walk around when someone grabbed his arm. He turned around and found Roxas as white as he was earlier today. If not, then worse. Sora followed the gaze of his friend's paralyzed blue eyes. And found a blonde girl sitting on the ledge of the hot tub chatting with a raven dark haired girl. The blonde girl seemed to like simple clothes in the hue of white.
So… She's the girl Roxas' been freaking over?
Sora's face grew into a grin, and without another word, he gripped Roxas' free hand and pulled him over. Roxas was acting the exact opposite of looking manly in front of the one you like. If you added girl clothes to the poor blonde, he would've been mistaken for one with all the whining.
The brunette finally managed to drag the blonde over to where the girls were.
"Hey guys." Sora greeted casually with a smile. Roxas tried to hide behind his friend but was pulled face to face with the girl he liked. Almost immediately he blushed. "H-Hey…" He managed to mutter under his breath.
The raven-haired girl smiled. "You guys enjoying the party?" The blonde girl remained silent.
"Yeah, the party's great. The guy beside me is Roxas, and I'm Sora." Sora gave Roxas a slight nudge. "Yeah… My name's Roxas…" Roxas really needs to pull up his game.
"Xion, and this is Naminé." The blonde girl gave the boy a small smile, with pink tint on her cheeks. Wow… Love at first sight.
Their greeting was cut short when Axel cursed over his cell phone. "Dude, what the fuck do you mean that you can't make it today?" Axel was ready to explode. "My party's today! I don't care if you fucking got delayed. If you don't get your ass here in 30 minutes-" Sora glanced at the pyromaniac losing it. "Damn, fine… We'll find somebody else." With that, the red head ended the call and threw his phone into the swimming pool.
Roxas took this as a chance to slip away. He ran up to his friend and asked what happened. "The band I got us today couldn't make it. We'll have to use a sub. But at this time of day, I don't know where I can find a replacement." Sora quickly took a look at the grand clock inside the house. 11pm. Nobody would come... But… What if…
Sora took a quick glance towards the silver haired kid in the pool. Riku seemed to have understood Sora's message. He jumped out of the water, literally because he was in the shallow end after all, and walked to Roxas' side.
"We can fill in."
The blonde beside him widened his eyes. "But-" "We'll play. I still have to settle my bet with Sora, remember?" Sora grinned at the thought. "Besides, we have our equipment inside the car… Or what's left of the equipment anyways." Axel didn't hesitate to agree to this offer.
With that, the trio ran to the around the house. More like Sora and Riku ran, while Roxas was dragged. But in the end, it made no difference. They fished out their guitars from the trunk and got back in record time, even with Roxas giving them I-dun-wanna screams behind them.
Shortly after setting up on a raised wooden platform beside the pool and getting volunteers for band members, all got settled. The five people on stage introduced themselves. Sora was tuning his new white Fender in the center of the stage. Roxas was strumming a few tunes on his ESP beside Sora. On the other side of the brunette, the silver haired emo still mumbled something about getting a "shitty Yamaha base guitar". The party host, Axel, was on the drum set, looking ready to break the thing. Pence behind the synchronizer, ready to mix down the songs.
"We'll be replacing the band that was supposed to come today. Hope you guys enjoy!" Sora blared into the mike before getting Axel to start on countdown.
4!
3!
2!
1!
And the pyromaniac began drumming like there was no tomorrow.
Riku followed him in was well as Roxas and started strumming.
After 2 verses, the music abruptly stopped. Sora broke the silence by starting strumming his new Fender. Madly.
"We are gonna kick some ass tonight"
"We got the metal madness"
"When our fans start screaming"
"It's right well alright"
"When we start to rock"
"We never want to stop again"
Sora's mild voice came out as a scream from the microphone's and Pence's special effects. The effect contributed well to "Hit the lights".The brunette was going wild up there.
"Hit the lights"
"Hit the lights"
"Hit the lights!"
The brunette started his guitar solo and started to shake his gravity defying hair up and down.
"You know our fans are insane"
"We are gonna blow this place away"
"With volume higher"
"Than anything today the only way"
"When we start to rock"
"We never want to stop again"
After the song finished, the crowd went wild. As well as a few neighbors who were awoken by the loud music blaring from the speakers.
They continued on their playing, one song after another.
The band stopped when the grand clock struck 12.
"Guys, we hope you liked our playing. We have one more song to play…" Sora waved with a grin on his face at the crowd of teens and angry adults under the stage. Then he turned to his band mates and signaled them to play the last song.
Sora started plucking his electric guitar.
"I gotta a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night"
"That tonight's gonna be a good night"
"That tonight's gonna be a good good night"
People under them started dancing. Hayner had invited Olette to dance. Sora made a mental note that the two looked cute together.
"Coz I gotta a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night"
"That tonight's gonna be a good night"
"That tonight's gonna be a good good night"
Sora sat around the swimming pool chatting with pence about how the synchronizer worked, while the last song the band played over and over again. While the majority of people went inside the house to dance and party.
"Haha, that's easy, I just recorded what we played." Sora nodded at his simple explanation. As easy as it sounded, Sora had no clue how to do that on the huge desk with buttons and dials.
After a while of chatting, Pence got up and said something about wanting to kick Hayner's ass in Modern Warfare 3 before leaving.
Sora sat in silence and enjoyed the music.
It was going to be a good night indeed.
"Ahh!" The scream pierced through the music, shortly followed by a loud splash.
The sound inside the house was intense music vibrated the windows. No doubt they couldn't hear the scream. The night was dark. The light source was from the mansion was too far to do any justice. And the only other light source was from the fireflies that buzzed through the night, giving off a faint glowing trail whenever they moved.
All Sora could make out was someone splashing wildly inside the swimming pool.
And he didn't hesitate to dive in fully clothed to save the unfortunate person who fell inside the deep end of the pool and didn't know how to swim.
The brunette kicked through the water and his arms found the way to a person's waist. He started pulling the person towards the shallow ends of the water.
I need to get this person out…
The person's clothes were wet, soaking after falling into the water clung onto her body tightly. The messed clothes, exposed soft tender flesh to Sora's hands. He continued swimming towards the shallow ends. Swimming normally wasn't a problem for Sora, but with the extra weight and the worries of getting water into the person's lungs made it extra hard on him.
After nearly a minute of struggling, Sora finally managed to bring the person in the shallow ends of the large pool. He carried the person bridal style in his arms, in fear that they'd take in more water.
The music changed to a soft song Sora recognized as Fireflies. Time itself seemed to slow down, but Sora's heart defied time itself and beated 10 folds faster.
The moon took this as a good timing to reveal itself from being obscured by the dark clouds. The moonlight gently touched the water and reflected to Sora's awestruck face. The light reflected off the person's amethyst eyes. Sora looked down, to find an auburn haired girl in his arms.
"Thanks Sora…" She gave him a light smile.
Sora's Heart did a light dance.
He could feel Kairi's head leaning against his chest.
Tonight's gonna be a good night…
A/N: And yes, for those of you who ask, I do like using the little lines to separate my story. I think it's a really neat way to give the readers a break. First musical chapter I wrote, personally I thought that it wasn't too bad… Was it? Probably in the next chapter, I'm going to add the letter to the plot to spice up the drama! Exciting, no? Anyways thanks for reading! Thanks for reviewing! Thanks for everything!
And no, for those of you who ask, I don't own Kingdom Hearts, any of the awesome guitar brands, or and of the songs… So I don't basically own anything. LOL 8989™
