Thank you all so much for the reviews, and I'm terribly sorry about the wait! I think I told glos that I would have this chapter up by, what? Friday? I got sooo busy. Practice for my church's drama skit, my church's band practice, my boyfriend meeting my parents (went surprisingly well), and my cousin coming over - I didn't have time! I have sooo much to do this week, take a bazillion pictures for the yearbook, practice a song that my cousin and I are doing for a youth rally, a band practice, more drama practices, actual church and watching my brother's kids!

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Okay... I feel better now. Just had to get my rant out. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own squat. The plot, yes - the characters, no - the song (which is the actual version of Johannafrom ST:TDBOFS), definitely not.

Enjoy the chapter, while I go and be busy!!

Xion slumped into her desk once she arrived at school, her head hitting her thick book. Olette watched on with a quirked eyebrow.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Xion nodded.

"Just...perfect," Xion replied. Olette shook her head and Xion sighed before sitting up and paying attention to the teacher as he walked in and started to teach.

After the hallway meeting with Riku, Xion came precariously close to drowning in the shower. She had put her skirt on backwards and Ven had been the one to notice, as well. Last but not least, she had tripped out of Sora's car this morning - Riku in view.

She felt like an idiot.

"Something hasto be wrong," Olette whispered through her teeth. "Just tell me."

Xion rolled her eyes. "Riku feels the need to help me only because I'm his best friends little sister." She hissed back. Olette snickered and Xion had to resist the urge to smack the girl.

Olette started to try and whisper something else, but Xion leaned to the other side of her desk to block it out and pay attention to the teacher. He was teaching something about the food chain, who knows? Xion sighed again and looked miserably at her book.

Did Riku only think of her as his best friend's sister? Didn't she express an amount of liking to him by blushing and acting all cutesy (something she never did in front of a guy)? If he didn't like her, why did he suggest doing Kiss Me? Where Anthony and Johanna actually kiss? Xion slammed her head down on her book once more when the bell rang.

Guys sucked. Their brains sucked even worse.

"Okay now, I need everyone who is auditioning for a part to find at least one person who is auditioning for someone else. See if we can come up with a cast," Marluxia said during theatre practice that afternoon. Axel and Xion stood up and grouped together, Olette joining them.

"All we need is a Turpin, a Beatle, a Mrs. Lovette, a Toby, a Pirelli, and an Anthony," Axel calculated in his head. Xion nodded and stood on a chair, looking out across the auditorium.

"Riku!" she said, catching the silver haired boy's attention. He smiled at her and made his way over, nodding at Axel and Olette. The girl with flippy hair, Selphie also came over.

"Are any of you auditioning for Mrs. Lovette?" once Xion and Olette shook their heads, Selphie joined them.

By the end of the hectic few minutes, Xion's group was joined by a freshman named Denzel who was going for Toby, a senior - Vexen, who was going for Pirelli, and two sophomores - Zack and Zell, who were going for Turpin and Beatle. Marluxia stood on the stage.

"Right then," he stated, looking out over the crowd. "That's three full groups, and two half-ful groups. Now, I would like you all to find who is auditioning for the same part as you. Just so you can see your competition." Xion sighed and quickly started looking for the other Johanna's.

She quickly found one, a blond senior named Rikku. Xion smiled at her and the girl smiled back. A freshman named Marlene joined the group as did a junior named Rinoa. Once the four Johanna's were together, they turned to Marluxia who was busy looking at all the frantic theatre students running around.

"He's sadistic, isn't he?" Xion questioned. Rinoa snorted.

"You have nooo idea," she replied back. Xion grinned.

Once everyone was herded into their groups, Marluxia smiled. "Right then. Six going for Mr. Todd, three for Mrs. Lovette, three for Toby, three for Pirelli, three for Beatle, four for Turpin, seven for Anthony, and four for Johanna. Now, thanks for that - I just wanted to get an idea of the numbers." He laughed at them as they all looked worn out and defeated. "You can go now, and remember - practice practice practice! Auditions are two days away."

Xion bid goodbye to the other Johanna's and made to find Axel, but found Riku instead. At her questioning look, he smiled.

"Axel had to leave early, something about needing to get home before his mother killed him," Riku explained. "I told him I'd drive you home." Xion nodded and grabbed her bag.

"Are you spending the night again?" Riku chuckled and shook his head.

"Unfortunately, no. My mom wants me home, Nooj is out for the night drinking with his buddies. I'm just dropping you off and then leaving." Xion nodded and the two walked out to his car. Both slid in quietly and Riku started it up, the ending of a song from the Sweeney Todd soundtrack finished it's final notes.

A new one clicked on and Riku started to hum and then sing.

"I feel you, Johanna,

I feel you.

I was half convinced I'd waken,

Satisfied enough to dream you.

Happily I was mistaken,

Johanna.

I'll steal you, Johanna,

I'll steal you.

I'll steal you, Johanna,

I'll steal you.

Do they think that walls could hide you?

Even now, I'm at your window.

I am in the dark beside you,

Buried sweetly in your yellow hair!

I feel you, Johanna,

And one day I'll steal you!

Til I'm with you then,

I'm with you there,

Sweetly buried in your yellow hair!"

Xion clapped, catching the fact that he had changed the lyrics back to the original. That also led her to a question, did he really say 'raven hair' this morning? Or had she just imagined it hoping for him to like her. Xion sighed again and slammed her head against the window.

She was so confused.

"Just...perfect..."

Aww...Poor Xion. You'll be seeing the title in a lot more places now - I think it first perfectly, don't you?

Please Review! You make me happy. :)
