My dad adjusted my tux on prom night. I coulda sworn it was soaked in sweat.

"How did you... breath in this?" I gasped.

"Magic, Sora. Just... Magic," he said, spiky hair jabbing at my chest.

Mom smiled when she saw me and Roxas. I knew that smile. She knew something I didn't.

"What is it this time, Mom?" I asked irritably.

"Riku's on a vacation to Traverse Town," she said, smiling wider.

I gulped. "Where is this going?"

"Kairi needs a date, and so do you."

"O-Okay."

She sighed, knowing she had to give it to me.

"She wants to go to the dance with you, mister," she said.

My jaw dropped. Roxas began cracking up. Zidane came downstairs.

"How... the hell... do ya move in something this stiff?" he gasped out.

Dad shot a spark at the tux. Zidane took a deep breath, and relaxed. His tail curled up in relief.

"That's better," he said.

He looked at me, and then at a laughing Roxas. He talked sarcastically.

"Oh, Sora got a date with Kairi? Roxas, why do you tease the poor guy? It's bad enough he has to cope with Riku, and-"

Roxas stopped laughing. "No, it's not that. He actually did get a date with Kairi. Riku's in Traverse Town!"

Zidane fainted. At that moment, Garnet came in, and gasped at the knocked out Zidane Tribal.

"What the f*ck happened here?" she asked.

"I'm... goin' with Kairi to prom," I answered.

She turned to me crossly. "Why? Isn't she going with Riku?"

"He's on vacation," Roxas butted in.

She raised her eyebrows, and Zidane came to. "Evenin' Dagger..."

"My name is Garnet. You stopped calling me Dagger in sixth grade!" she said, a bit angry.

"Sorry... kinda... sleepy... woah..." and the genome was out once more.

Roxas and I got the job of carrying him to school. Before we left, Dad wanted to talk to me and Roxas. Kairi and Namine patiently waited.

"Remember, the food speaks secrets," he said.

As we carried Zidane, I clarified something.

"You're-you're not sisters, right?" I managed to ask.

"Mm-hm," both said at the same time.

"Wow."

Zidane woke up, and hopped off, and I yelled out, "YES!"

The guy's tail shot up straight when he saw Garnet. I laughed at him, and then two hands placed themselves on my shoulders.

"'Sup, Sora?" Squall asked.

I jumped back in shock.

"Hey Squall. Rinoa's lookin' nice tonight," I said, getting over his trying to scare me.

Squall's hair was its usual way, with some hair combed backwards, and the rest hanging over his face. I used to think he was emo before he met Rinoa. His favorite word was "Whatever."

"We should get to school," Zidane said, trying to keep an upbeat attitude. "Oh, and Sora, you owe me five bucks."

"Ff*ck," I muttered, handing him the cash.

Zidane laughed, but Garnet was confused. "Why do you owe him-"

"He only asked you out because of five stupid dollars," I mumbled to her.

"Oh. Thank you," she said, blushing.

I grinned as we came to the gym's entrance. We walked in, and the place was like a real life Facebook. Groups of people talked everywhere.

"How the f*ck are we gonna get to the punch!?" Zidane yelled.

"Improvise," Roxas said, snaking through.

He came back with ice cream exclusively from Destiny Islands. He gave one to each of the girls.

"Why don't we get some?" Zidane whined.

"Remember what Dad said?" Squall whispered to him.

"Oh."

I saw what he meant. Truth had been mixed in. One drop, and all your secrets came pouring out of your mouth. Roxas winked at me. No wonder he gave the stuff to the girls. A dose of that, and they'll be blabbering until prom's over.
