Sorry about the wait! I got caught up in helping prepare things for the Youth Rally. If I hadn't of had to make 30 or so flyers, this would've been up last night.
I noticed that I like posting things before school. It makes me feel awake! W00Tness.
Disclaimer: Anything or anybody you recognize, I don't own. I own the plot. The majority of this story belongs to Square Enix, I'm just borrowing them for my own amusement. The song, which is part 2 of Kiss Me belongs to whomever wrote Sweeney.
Anyway, on with the chapter!!

"So, what you're saying is...that you eavesdropped on him in the shower?"A girl's voice giggled from the other end of the phone line and Xion made a weird, throaty noise.
"Kairiiii! Please take this seriously," Xion asked into the receiver. "I called you for help not for you to mockme!" Kairi laughed again and replied.
"Alright. You think he changed the words in the shower to say raven hair, but when you were in the car with him he said yellow?" Xion nodded and realized that the other girl couldn't see it.
"That's exactly right," she said. "Also, he's been flirting. A lot. It doesn't help that he spends the night over here because he and Sora are best friends."
"I'd been wondering how you heard him in the shower. Because Xion couldn't have of possibly snuck into someone's house and listened at their bathroom door."
"Shut it Nam!" Xion screeched. Someone knocked on her door and she hurried to open it, holding the phone behind her back with the two girls laughing on the other end. She opened the door and saw Ven standing there.
"Erm...hi Ven!" she said, plastering a fake smile on her face. Her brother looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you okay?" he questioned.
No, she wasn't okay. The first guy that she possibly liked seemed to flirt with her and lead her on and sing one thing but then change it making her completely confused and being completely nice to her and then saying he was doing it only because she was his best friends little sister was not making everything okay.
With a nod, "Of couse. Everything's...just perfect." Ven smiled and left the door frame, leaving Xion to shut it and collapse on her bed, putting the phone to her ear.
"Everything will be fine, Xion," Namine assured. "Aren't you two going to practice tomorrow? What song are you doing for a duet? What dialogue?"
"We asked Mr. Raulaim if we could do a song separately and then a duet instead of the dialogue part because all of our dialogue is in the song," Xion explained. "So we're going to work on the duet, Kiss Me."
"Are you going to do the full part?"Xion sighed.
"I don't know. I kinda hope too." Kairi laughed from the other end.
"Just act like yourself and you'll be perfectly fine," she said. "Besides, who could resist you - you theatre nerd you." Kairi laughed and Xion sighed.
A voice calling her for dinner rang from downstairs and Xion bid goodbye to her friends and walked downstairs.
Her first week in Twilight Town was going amazingly, she could say. She had a friend, Olette, and saw one of her old friends again. Her brother's were nice, and she had a love interest. Her soon-to-be step mom treated her just like a daughter and her dad still paid attention to her even though they lived with his other children. She was auditioning for a part in one of her favorite plays, auditioning for said part with said love interest. Even if she did have to deal with a lot of drama, things were going just perfectly.

Xion panted, slumping against the back of the couch. She raised a bottle of water to her lips and quickly gulped some of it down. Riku was doing the same leaning against the wall.
"Why does Johanna have to speak so fast?" she complained. Riku chuckled and took another sip of his water.
"Don't all sopranos?" Xion nodded.
"Yeah, but Mimi never sang as fast as Johanna...or as high-pitched, really," she explained. "Mimi was just a bunch of grunting noises and belting out words." Riku laughed.
"I remember. We all watched that performance. Mr. Raulaim shelled out the money from his own pocket to go and watch you guys," the silver haired Senior explained. "You were a great Mimi, by the way. Your Roger was pretty cool too." Xion smiled.
"Zex was awesome, wasn't he?" she asked with a smile and a giggle. "He graduated last year. At the beginning of the production, he was upset because he had to work with a Sophomore. But at the end of it, he thanked me. I never figured out why..." Riku smiled at her.
A stricken look crossed his face for a second and then he asked, "Did you two have something...?" Xion laughed and shook her head avidly.
"No. No no no no nooo!" she stuttered out through her laughing. "Zexion was like a big brother to me, and plus - I don't think Angel would have liked it." At Riku's confused look, Xion explained. "His boyfriend." A blush crossed Riku's pale cheeks and Xion laughed again.
Riku pushed himself off the wall, trying to conceal the blush.
"We should get back to work," he said. "Auditions are tomorrow." Xion snorted.
"As much as I hate to say it, but like we won't get it?" she commented. Riku laughed. "I mean, you've been in it since your Freshman year and Mr. Raulaim always cast you in a part even if you didn't want to be cast. And he has practically oozed thankfulness that I even came to Twilight Town." Riku laughed again.
"You are right, but we do need to practice," Xion nodded and pushed away from the back of couch.
Riku drew the stereo remote out of the pocket of his pants and pointed it at it. Xion rose her eyebrows when he skipped to the second part.
"I think we know the first part," he said. "It's the second part that's gotten us the last couple of times." Xion nodded and used to hair to conceal her blush. She sat on the couch where Riku joined her, putting his arm around her. She leaned in as if they were making out.
"Five minutes later," Riku muttered. Xion tried not to giggle as he pressed play and laid the remote down.
RIKU:
We'd best not wait until Monday
XION:
Sir, I concur,
And fully, too.
RIKU:
It isn't right.
We'd best be married on Sunday.
XION:
Saturday, sir,
Would also do.
RIKU:
Or else tonight.
XION:
I think I heard a noise.
RIKU:
Fear not.
XION:
I mean another noise!
RIKU:
Like what?
XION:
Oh, never mind,
Just a noise
Just another noise,
Something in the street,
I'm a silly little
Ninnynoddle —
RIKU:
You mustn't mind,
It's a noise,
Just another noise,
Something in the street,
You silly —
BOTH (Falling into each other's arms):
Kiss me!
XION:
Oh, sir...
RIKU:
We'll go to Paris on Monday.
XION:
What shall I wear?
I daren't pack!
RIKU:
We'll ride a train ...
XION:
With you beside me on Sunday,
What will I care
What things I lack?
RIKU:
Then sail to Spain ...
XION:
I'll take my reticule.
I need my reticule.
You mustn't think
Me a fool
But my reticule
Never leaves my side,
It's the only thing
My mother gave me —
Kiss me!
Kiss me!
We'll go there,
Kiss me!
We have a place where we can
RIKU
Why take your reticule?
We'll buy a reticule.
I'd never think
You a fool,
But a reticule —
Leave it all aside
And begin again and
Kiss me!
I know a place where we can go
Tonight.
Kiss me!
We have a place where we can
Go...Go tonight.
RIKU
I loved you
Even as I saw you,
Even as it did not
Matter that I did
Not know your name
Johanna,
Johanna,
Johanna…
XION
I loved you
Even as I saw you,
Even as it does not
Matter that I still
Don't know your name, sir,
Even as I saw you,
Even as it does not
Matter that I still
Don't know your name . ..
RIKU: ANTHONY
XION: ANTHONY. . .
XION: ANTHONY
I'll marry ANTHONY Sunday, You marry ANTHONY Sunday,
That's what I'll do. That's what you'll do,
No matter what! No matter what!
I knew you'd come for me I knew I'd come for you
one day, one day
Only afraid that you'd forgot. Only afraid that you'd forgot.
XION:
I feared you'd never come,
That you'd been called away,
That you'd been killed,
Had the plague,
Were in debtor's jail,
Trampled by a horse,
Gone to sea again,
Arrested by the ...
RIKU:
Marry me, marry me, miss,
You'll marry me Sunday.
Favor me, favor me
With your hand.
Promise,
Marry me, marry me,
That you'll marry me —
Enough of all this ...
(He crushes her to him; they kiss)
XION(as she sinks to the floor with RIKU):
Oh, sir ...
RIKU:
Ah, miss . . .
XION:
Oh, sir...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
Oh, sir ...
RIKU
Ah, miss ...
Ah, miss . . .
Ah, miss ...
Ah, miss ...
Ah, miss . . .
Both followed the stage directions exactly that had been in the script. Xion sang her part as bold as she could, knowing that the kiss would be up any minute. Once it came, she felt him grab her wrist and pull her to him. Xion lightly thudded against his chest as he grabbed her chin with one hand and pulled it up to his own mouth.
Instead of the kiss that Xion had been expecting, he only ghosted his lips over her's. She tilted her head to make it seem real, like they were supposed to. Once it was over, the two sank to the floor, her sitting in his lap as they recited the 'Oh, sir's and 'Ah, miss's.
The song ended and the duo heard clapping. Xion stood up, held out a hand for Riku and they turned to see Tifa standing in the doorway with a broad smile and a mysterious twinkle in her eyes.
"That was great you two," she congratulated. "There is no way you will not get the parts. You're just so good." She threw in a smirk. "You also have great chemistry." Xion blushed and Riku rubbed the back of his head, staring at a random picture on the wall.
"T-Thanks Tifa," Xion stuttered out. A phone rang from upstairs and she squeaked before leaving the room. "I gotta go! That's probably Kairi and Namine!" Tifa and Riku watched as she bolted out of the room.
Once she was gone, Tifa turned to Riku and rose an eyebrow.
"I may not be her real mother, but she is like a daughter to me," she explained, her eyes darkening. Riku tried not to shy away. "If you hurt her, you die." Riku shook his head.
"I have no intention of doing so," he said, schooling his face into an emotionless mask. "I don't have any intention to pursue a relationship with her as is." Tifa stared at him coolly until her eyes softened and she shook her head as if in pity.
"If only you knew," she left the room, leaving a confused Riku in her wake.
