Previously on 12.
Sora, Kairi and Namine watch Roxas kiss Axel.
"Holy crap, I think he just turned Axel gay,"
Sora turns to Namine and responds
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me anymore…not after Shakespeare,"
Seifer throws Kairi to the ground.
"Now I'm going to enjoy this whether I like it or not,"
In a bright white orb, Sora appears.
"Now I'm going to enjoy this whether YOU like it or not,"
Sora glides an orb over Seifer.
Seifer begins to shriek in pain.
"What's did you do to him."
"All the pain he has caused throughout his life is coming back against him,"
Sora, Roxas, Riku and Axel are all in a music class with the music teacher.
"Well, we haven't got much time, next week is the concert, and you're going to have to learn three songs before then, you think you can handle it?"
Sora looks at the other four, before turning back to the teacher.
"Oh yes,"
Chapter 5
"I, Don't, Care,"
The final bell rang on the hot Friday afternoon. Everyone bolted out of the school, down the street, to the car park or the bus bay. This was usual for Friday afternoons, but specifically this Friday, because in five hours, the school dance was about to start, and with the best band on the Destiny Islands, or so Destiny Island High thought, known as Memories Of An Angel (A name suggested by Roxas) playing. They were all going home to get changed into their new jeans, shirts, jackets, glasses, dresses and anything else they might be wearing at a dance.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Namine, Axel and Yuna walked out of the school. Yuna and Axel were arm in arm, with each hand on the others arse. Kairi and Riku also had their arms around one another, though they were more dignified, just around the waist. Roxas and Namine were hand in hand, though it meant nothing to Roxas, it meant a lot to Namine, and Sora just had his hands in his pocket.
"So, are you lot gonna tell us what you are singing tonight?" Namine asked Roxas, but it was Sora who answered.
"Well, technically, I'm the only one who's singing, these two…" Sora pointed at Roxas and Riku, "…are only singing backup," He remarked.
"That still doesn't tell us what you're planning to sing tonight," Yuna pointed out.
"No, that was the point," Sora smiled at her.
"No one knows what we are playing tonight except the members of Memories Of An Angel," Riku remarked
"I still think we should have called it Death to the Zombies," Axel stated, and even Yuna rolled her eyes.
"Thank God Roxas was in the band, or you'd have to go on calling yourself that," Kairi looked up at Riku.
"Yes, here's to you Roxas, for thinking up a suitable name," Riku raised an imaginary glass, and mocked toasting him.
"Well, I've been meaning to call something that, it's nice to know that it's going to something like the greatest band on the planet,"
"Roxas, I can name several bands that are better than ours," Sora stated.
"Yeah, but they'd have a run for their money," Axel stated, and the others muttered in agreement.
Soon they reached the car park, where Riku said, "Well, I have to shower, get changed and get ready for tonight,"
"Mmm, can I join you in the shower," Kairi joked, to which they both laughed.
"I'll see you all later, Sora, Roxas, Axel, make sure you learn those songs,"
"Don't worry, we've got them mastered, just make sure you learn those tricky bits. You are, after all, Lead Guitarist," Sora said.
"Yeah, you better have it memorized?" Axel said.
"Don't worry, I will," Riku stated, and he got into his car, and in mere seconds drove off.
As they walked out the gate and down the road, Sora wondered something.
"Kairi, why do you always talk dirty with Riku, then laugh about it,"
"Oh, well, we both kind of hate stuff like that, so we always joke about it," Kairi admitted.
"Nice," Sora stated.
"Well, this is our stop," Roxas said, and he was about to leave when Axel said something.
"Hold up, Sora, why aren't you going that way?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"Well, don't you live together or something?" Axel asked again.
"Oh, well…umm," Sora began, but Roxas butted it.
"Oh, well, I'm helping Namine pick something out for tonight,"
"Oh, right," Axel said, and Sora almost wiped his forehead, but maintained his stationary appearance.
"Yeah, see you all later," Roxas said to everyone, and Yuna gave a kiss to Axel, and she, Roxas and Namine all turned off into a street.
When they we're out of earshot, Kairi turned to Axel.
"Lets get something straight here, Axel, Are you playing her or not?" She asked, determination in here voice.
"What?" Axel asked.
"Are you playing her, planning to dump her very very soon?" She asked, the determination growing.
"No, listen, Kairi it's different," Axel started to explain; But Kairi gave out a fake laugh.
"Different then all those other girls, Axel?" She stated.
"No, look, at first I was going to but, I dunno, a couple of days after we were going out, we started talking, and we found out we have so much in common, she loves Poupu fruit grinded and sprinkled on her strawberry ice-cream, she loves to sit outside and watch the rain fall mix with the morning sunlight, all the things we talk about we have in common, and for the first time in ages, I actually fell in love with this amazing girl,"
Kairi couldn't believe what she was hearing. This was Axel Davis, one of the biggest players in the school. She had known him ever since he had tried to hit on her in the seventh grade. And now he was going to throw that all away for this girl, For Yuna Smiles.
"And, boy, she is something in the sack,"
Well, maybe not everything.
"Ok, Axel, don't need to know that," Kairi smiled, and she did something she thought she would never do in her life. She embraced Axel in a hug, and for the first time ever, Axel didn't give an inappropriate hug.
"Thanks Kairi," He smiled, waved to Sora, who took one hand out of his pocket and waved back. Kairi continued to wave, with Sora looking behind her, until Axel went into his house, and she continued to smile.
"He's under mind control isn't he," Kairi maintained the smile.
Sora thought about it for a few seconds before saying, "Yeah, yeah he is, yeah,"
Kairi shook her head, and continued walking. In a few short strides, Sora caught up to her.
"So, what gave it away?" Sora asked, and Kairi smiled.
"Axel Davis would never, ever, ever, say thanks to anyone," Kairi pointed out.
"Ah, right, see, that's why it's always good to research about the person you are planning to control,"
Kairi couldn't do anything except laugh and soon they suddenly found themselves right in front of Kairi's house, despite the fact it took almost Ten minutes to get from Axel's house to Kairi's.
Kairi turned to Sora and asked, "Have you used some angel trick to get us here quickly?"
"Who, me? No, never, it's simply the illusion that when one is engaged in something, the central time appears as if it has increased," Sora explained.
"Huh?" Kairi asked.
"Time fly's when you're having fun," Sora smiled.
"Oh, well, why couldn't you just have said that," Kairi asked.
Sora shrugged, "Even since I was a little kid, I can't help but use a bit of techno babble," and Kairi laughed as she walked into the house.
"Kairi," Ms Faller called out from the kitchen.
"Yeah, mum?" Kairi called back, walking to the kitchen.
"How late were you planning to stay out tonight?" Ms Faller asked, as she was chopping a carrot, something, Kairi assumed, would be for her dinner.
"Not too late, mum, I promise," Kairi said.
"Kairi, I'm not too sure about you spending time with Riku at a dance, I mean you know what happens at those sort of things, and if he's not protected…
"Mum!" Kairi said, embarrassed, knowing full well that a certain Guardian Angel was listening in on their conversation, and didn't want him to here that.
"Oh, come now, honey, there's no one here to listen," Ms Faller stated.
"That's not the point, and besides, Riku is playing with the band, and we'll be with all out friends, and never alone,"
"Yeah, well, I suppose it's safe," Ms Faller muttered.
"Mum, I promise it is," Kairi rolled her eyes.
"Good, now, I want you back home no later than 10:30pm, make sure you're always with one of your friends, don't leave any drinks behind, and don't do anything rash,"
Kairi rolled her eyes again, "Yes mum, I know," she said as she made to walk out of the kitchen, but was stopped by her mum
"Oh, and Kairi?" Ms Faller said.
Kairi rolled her eyes for the third time, and frustratingly said, "What?"
Ms Faller smiled, "Have fun dear,"
Kairi also smiled, "Thanks mum," And ran up the stairs.
As she entered her room, she wasn't surprised to find Sora sitting on her bed with his legs crossed.
"You didn't happen to hear any of that, did you?" Kairi asked.
"Not if you didn't want me to hear anything," smiled Sora, and Kairi groaned.
"Sorry bout that, my mother is the most embarrassing person in the universe,"
"She only wants to look after you," Sora stated.
"Well, she could stop embarrassing me," Kairi remarked back, turning her back on him and looking in her closet to find something to wear
"Oh, parents always want to embarrass children," Sora stated, "Why, I remember once my Mother…" and suddenly he stopped.
Kairi
looked around, wanting to find out why Sora hand stopped, and saw
that he had a blank look on his face, and staring at apparently
nothing. He saw a tear ready to fall from his eye.
"Sora,"
Kairi whispered.
Sora took a deep breath, smiled and said, "Anyway, aren't you suppose to be getting ready for this dance?"
Kairi looked at Sora for another second, before smiling, "Yes, I suppose I am, can you help me pick out a dress,"
"Sure, what were you looking for?" Sora asked, standing up.
"Well, something that looks good, but not too dressy," Kairi stated, trying to think of the perfect outfit.
"Well, why don't you look at some and I'll play some music," Sora smiled.
"What did you have it mind?" Kairi asked.
"Well," Sora reached under her bed and grabbed a black guitar, which Kairi was one hundred percent positive it hadn't been there before, "I'm sure that I can find something to play," and he squeezed his hand into a fist and then stretched out his hand, now with a plectrum in his hand. He strummed a couple of times of notes, then started to play.
Do you know what's worth fighting for?
Kairi smiled, knowing the song, and its meaning. 21 Guns was one of Kairi's favorite songs, not because of the rhythm, and, not because it is by one of many bands Kairi loved, it was the meaning of it.
When it's not worth dying for?
The meaning was very simple; anyone could do something worth the respect of others. It was a meaning Kairi based herself on every day. It didn't matter whether you were a boy, or a girl, a hero, or a villain.
Does it take your breath away,
Kairi remembered when she had first found out what the song meant. It had been almost a month ago, she had been sitting in class, scrolling through her music, trying to think of something to sing to. Finally it stopped on 21 Guns by Green Day. Miss Notes had been walking by her, and had said, "Oh, 21 Guns, such a fantastic song," when Kairi had asked why, Miss Notes had explained to her the reason why it was by telling her the meaning of the song.
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Kairi remembered this while she looked at a black top with dark jeans, she turned around and placed her shirt on top and Jeans at the bottom. Sora chuckled and shook his head while he continued to play.
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
Kairi looked through here cupboard, and began tapping her foot against the ground, waiting for the chorus that would be coming any second. Kairi took out a dress, and shook her head, putting it back on the coat-hanger
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
Kairi laughed as she remembered an outfit she had worn a couple of years ago, and was now too short for her, something that would definitely reveal a bit too much. Kairi made a mental note to leave it on Larxene's doorstep.
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
Sora finished the song, smiled, and placed the guitar underneath his bed, squeezed his hand, the stretched it, the plectrum now disappeared.
"Bet you enjoyed that," Sora smiled.
"Of
course I did, it's one of my favorite songs…you wouldn't happen
to be playing that tonight would you?" Kairi asked hopefully.
Sora
smiled, "No, we thought we would play music that everyone would
jump up and down to,"
"Oh," Kairi merely said, clearly disappointed.
Kairi continued to look through her wardrobe, before she thought of something else.
"Why did you play that song?" Kairi asked.
Sora chuckled, "You have to know the meaning behind it,"
"Oh I do, it means that anyone can do something to earn the respect in others," Kairi stated.
"Right…even if it means dying for a specific cause," Sora continued.
Kairi paused, and almost asked what that special cause was, but then thought back to the first night of meeting Sora, and how he had become sad when asked how he had died, and decided to drop it.
"Well, I've narrowed it down to two choices. Its either going to be the Red shirt with the Black jeans," Holding up a Red shirt matching the color of her hair, and a pair of black jeans with one hand, "Or a Black shirt with a pair of Blue jeans," With the other hand Kairi held up a Black shirt, that was just a tiny bit shorter than the red one, and a pair of dark blue jeans that would have made her arse look a little bit bigger than usual.
"What do you think?" Kairi asked, and Sora already had the answer in his mind.
"Kairi, honestly, you should wear the red and black," Sora said.
"Red and Black it is," She muttered, and tossed the other outfit into her pile, Kairi looked at her watch, the time read 7:49.
"Oh, shit, Riku will be here in 10 minutes, and I have to go shower before the dance…and YOU!" Kairi pointed at Sora, who almost jumped with fright.
"What have I done?" Sora asked.
"You need to get out of here before Riku shows up, and I have to get changed, and have a shower," Kairi stated.
"What if something happens?" Sora reasoned.
"Sora, I'm going to be with Riku for most of the time, and I'm going to be inside here as well," Kairi pointed out.
"Oh, all right, I'll see you at the school," And with a flash of lightning, Sora disappeared.
Kairi didn't waste a moment longer, she grabbed her shirt and jeans and made her way to the bathroom.
Ten minutes of Kairi getting changed, rushing around, and drying her hair later, she stood in the living room wearing her autumn red shirt, black jeans, and her lucky charm dangling from her pocket. She had a strand of hair dangling from her face, and she looked gorgeous.
Ms Faller walked into the room, and did something she had never done before, she squealed at her daughter.
"Aww, my baby's all grown up," Ms Faller forgot all about how she hated the fact Kairi was going out with Riku, and just stared at her grown up daughter.
"Thanks mum," Kairi said as the doorbell rang. Kairi ran to the door, and opened it.
Standing at her door, with roses in his hand, was Riku. He was wearing black pants, a white shirt and black zipper coat. Behind him was a Dark Blue Les Paul Epiphone Electric Guitar, and he was wearing a pair of mirrored aviators usually seen on his forehead now on his eyes. Riku took them off, and looked up and down.
"Wow, Kairi, you look fantastic," he stated.
"He he, you don't look so bad yourself," Kairi giggled.
"Well, if you would like to step this way, I would be honored to drive you to the school," Riku pointed out to his car, and Kairi smiled.
"I would be honored," Kairi smiled.
"KAIRI!" Ms Faller yelled after her daughter.
"Just hold on one sec," Kairi smiled, turned around, and yelled back, "WHAT?"
"MAKE SURE YOU'RE BACK HOME BY TEN THIRTY!" Ms Faller yelled out.
"I WILL BE!" Kairi shouted back, and turned back to Riku, now smiling.
"That's my fiery little hot head," Riku stated holding out his arm.
Kairi took his arm and they walked towards Riku's Car, and Riku opened the car door for Kairi to sit in. Kairi took her seat and Riku closed the door. Riku opened the back seat car door and placed his guitar in the back seat. He then closed the door, walked over to his front seat, and got in, started the engine, and soon they were speeding towards the school, arriving to the school at five minutes past eight.
"It's so good that you can get your L's at 15 and not 16 like most of the other countries," Kairi stated.
"Its even better that you can get your P's at 16," Riku also pinted out, as he turned of the engine, and slipped the key into his pocket.
"It's probably because there's not too much traffic on Destiny Islands," Kairi pointed out.
"True," Riku admitted.
As they all got out of the car, they soon spotted Axel and Yuna. Axel was wearing a black shirt with a red skull and long blue pants, with two drum sticks in his pocket. Yuna was wearing a knee long sparkling purple dress with a gold chain.
"Hey guys, wow, you two look great," Kairi noted.
"Thanks, she looks perfect, I just look normal," Axel smiled, holding Yuna close.
"You two look fantastic," Yuna smiled.
"Well, you know," Riku smiled, "Kairi is only the stunning one out of the two of us,"
Suddenly a Black car pulled up, and Paine and Zexion got out. Paine was wearing her black hair down, dark eyeliner, purple lipstick, and a black dress just covering her thigh with a purple bow in her hair. Zexion, who had just acquired his license from the DDRRO (Destiny Driving and Road Regulation Office), had his hair in its normal fashion. He was wearing pure black, black shoes, pants, shirt and dress jacket, his dress jacket left open.
"Wow, you two are the perfect emo couple," Kairi smiled.
"Thanks," They both said in perfect non-emotional sync.
Suddenly a second-hand car drove up and parked next to Zexion's car. Namine, Demyx and Rikku came out of their cars. Demyx was wearing a brown suit, and Rikku was wearing a yellow dress, but it was Namine who looked fantastic.
Her hair was golden, with a strand in front of her face, the rest in a bun. She was wearing a white dress, but in no way was it see-through and she was wearing diamond earrings.
"Wow, Namine," Kairi stared.
"Hubba, Hubba," Riku said, while Axel wolf-whistled, both receiving slaps from their dates.
Namine walked over to Kairi and said, "You think Roxas might notice?"
"Namine, if Roxas doesn't notice, he's blind," Kairi and Namine laughed.
"Why didn't you come with Roxas?" asked Yuna.
"He said he wanted to practice something with Sora, and he'd come with him," Namine stated.
"Speaking of which, where is Roxas and Sora, we go on in fifteen minutes," Axel stated.
"Ah, I think I've found them," Demyx pointed at something behind Kairi, and she turned around.
A black Bugatti Veyron drove up the street, and glided into the parking lot. It found the last parking spot up the back, and in a few seconds had parked smoothly in there. The doors opened, and Sora and Roxas both came out. Roxas from the passengers seat, Sora from the driver's seat.
Roxas was wearing black sunglasses; a white shirt with a loose black tie and black pants with White Nike Sneakers.
Sora was wearing a black shirt, underneath a white dress shirt and black dress jacket with Dark Blue jeans and Maroon Converse. He was also wearing a black Trilby hat and black lens Aviators.
They
opened the boot of their car and grabbed two guitars. One was a Black
Jazz Gibson Bass, which was grabbed by Roxas. The other was a
starburst red Les Paul Gibson Electric, this one was grabbed by Sora.
The placed them over their shoulders, so the guitars were hanging
from there sides. Sora closed the boot, and they both walked towards
the rest of the group.
Everyone was checking out at least one
thing. The girls were checking out Sora and Roxas, they guys were
checking out the car.
"Dude, that car is worth 1,700,000 dollars," One guy said.
"That's more than my house," Another said.
"Dude, a 50c lollypop is worth more than you're house," The guy joked.
Sora and Roxas walked up to everyone, who we're all interested in the car, with only some interested at how they were dressed.
"Wow, Sora, how'd you get a car like that?" Riku asked, as they all started walking to the hall.
"Well, My parents kind of got it for me when I got my license. My dad always said that the Twelve family have always been people of style," Sora smiled.
"Does Roxas ever drive it?" Yuna asked.
"Pfft, I wouldn't even let him sit in the drivers seat," Sora stated.
"Why not?" Paine asked.
"Because I would never let my arse of a brother drive my 1,700,000 dollar car, knowing him, I'd never see it again," Sora stated.
Roxas shrugged in agreement, as they all walked into the hall, and looked at the black, red and purple decorations, the lights all centered on the stage, where a drum kit was up, as well as three microphones. They looked around to see couples all talking and laughing, waiting patiently for the music to start. Kairi shivered when she saw Seifer slipping some alcohol into the punchbowl, and she decided to just grab a bottle of Soda from the bar that had been set up that afternoon. They all walked up in twos, except for Sora, who was up the back, alone
"What
can I get you?" The man in a suit asked.
"Ah, can I just get
a bottle of 7 Up and Mountain Dew," Riku asked, taking out his
wallet and giving the man a 20 dollar bill, and receiving a two green
bottles and his change.
After Sora had received his bottle of Pepsi, they walked over to the front of the stage, so that the others could get a good view.
Suddenly a very busy looking Miss Notes came running up to them.
"Oh, thank goodness you are all here, you all go on in about 7 minutes, now do you remember the songs you were playing?" She asked the four of them.
"Wait, we have to play for these people?" Roxas asked, and Miss Notes looked like she was about to feint.
"Roxas Connor Jacobson Twelve, don't EVER do that again," Miss Notes screeched.
Roxas smiled, before saying, "Ok, I'm sorry,"
"Now, you four…" Miss Notes pointed at Sora, Roxas, Riku and Axel; "…need to come with me, so we can get you set up,"
Sora, Roxas, Riku and Axel bade goodbye to their friends and walked into a door next to the stage, up a flight of stairs, and backstage.
Everything was hustle and bustle, people talking into headsets, others checking the lighting and sound. They soon lost track of Miss Notes, who was looking for someone.
"You nervous?" Roxas whispered to his brother.
"Roxas, I haven't been nervous since we had to play twenty-three straight hours for that Russian guy with the 5 hungry dogs," Sora chuckled.
"Oh, yeah, jeez that was long," Roxas remembered, as he watched a pudgy year 10 Kid they hadn't seen yet walk up to the middle mic.
"Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to our 3rd dance of the school year, my name is Pence, and I am here to introduce the band for the night, but first, let me just thank the following people, that had a hand in setting up this dance, first let me thank Miss Notes for…"
"I just don't understand it," Roxas stated.
"Don't understand what?" Sora asked.
"I don't understand why we couldn't get the Paperclip Cult to play tonight," Roxas said.
Sora groaned, "For the last time, they live in Australia, they don't know where Destiny Islands is, and they are at a performance right this very minute,"
"Well, still," Roxas muttered.
"…Zexion Gareth, Paine Letum for the decorations, and of course, the sound and lighting crew…"
Sora turned to Riku and Axel, "What about you two, you nervous?"
Riku shook his head, "I've been playing solo gigs since I was 14 years old, I'll be fine,"
"I never get nervous at the sort of things," Axel said, as he took out one of his drumsticks and began twirling it in his fingers.
"…And now, without further ado, I give you, the one, the only, Memories of an Angel," Pence screamed into the mic, and ran off the stage. Sora took a deep breath, smiled, and watched as Axel placed a pair of walked in front of him, past the curtains blocking him and the rest of the eager audience and up to he drum kit, where Sora could here the screams begin to grow. Riku and Roxas, like Axel, walked past Sora and onto the stage, Riku began playing his part on the right side of the stage, While Roxas smiled, plucking along to the beat, bopping up and down on the left side.
Kairi instantly recognized the song by the Australian band known as Thirsty Merc, one of their most popular songs, and exactly the thing to describe the Destiny Islands. The screaming had increased with the arrival of the two guitarists. Suddenly Axel stopped playing, and so did Roxas, but not before saying one thing:
Here he is.
Riku began playing his rhythmic part, and Sora smiled, "Well, it's time to dance," he said to no one in particular as he drew back the curtains, and began walking towards the front, strutting along to the beat. By now the screams had increased, nearly everyone screaming. Sora managed to get to the front, his guitar beside him, and said in a very cool voice:
Are you feelin that?
By now, all the audience members were screaming. The guys were cheering, the girls fake feinting at the voice of this musician extraordinaire. They screamed even louder in response to his question. He grinned before saying his next part, in the exact same coolness
Huh, I know what your saying an all.
Sora smiled at a couple of people in the audience, as well as their group of friends at the front, and began to sing, with Axel and Roxas accompanying on their respective instruments.
I don't have a job
I never liked them
I just wanna play in the sunshine
Sora had a grin on his face as he sung into the mic. Roxas had gone from plucking his guitar to strumming it. Riku was bopping his head up and down. And Axel was smiling as he hit the drums with his sticks.
They say I was wrong
But I know better
I live my life like I'm dying
Sora now had held his Guitar in front of him to play, while Roxas walked up to the drum kit, in front of Axel, and bopped up and down, just strumming the notes. Sora looked up at a lot of the people, as he sang the next part.
Gimme a chance
I'll do my best to kick and scream and dance
When winter comes I'll turn around
Sora pressed his fingers up against the strings, ready to strum. Roxas had run up to his brother's mic, and began to back him in the vocals. Riku bobbed his head even more ferociously, while Axel hit the drum kit with equal force.
Take me back to the sweet times
The hot nights
Everything is gonna be alright
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
Sora smiled as he strummed twice as fast. Roxas mimicked the smile as he began to pluck again. Riku moved beyond the mic towards the crowd, were a dozen girls squealed in delight, some of them battering their eyelids 5 blinks a second.
And even if I have to wait til next year
I don't care
All I know is that I'll meet you there
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
That is where I'll be
Sora ceased playing and Roxas moved away from his brother's mic and he moved back over to his corner, maintaining the rhythm. Riku looked at Sora and smiled. Sora returned to smile as he launched into the second verse
I can't complain
'Cos I'm still breathing
There's nobody breathing down my neck now
Roxas leaned into his own mic, ready to begin to back his brother. Sora began to strum his guitar, just as fast as Riku, listening, drinking in all of the screams, and remembering other concerts he had played at, and even seen.
Gimme a go
Like an open furnace setting fire to snow
When winter comes I'll ask the crowd
Roxas grinned as wide as he could, singing exactly in sync with Sora. Riku jumped up and down, strumming as fast as he could, While Axel's drumsticks lazily hit each of the drums, with such ease.
To take me back to the sweet times
The hot nights
Everything is gonna be alright
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
And even if I have to wait til next year
I don't care
All I know is that I'll meet you there
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
That is where I'll be
Everyone stopped. Axel Stopped drumming, Roxas stopped plucking and Riku stopped strumming. The Lights all dimmed, and there was a spotlight on Sora, the screaming grew quiet, all waiting to see what would happen.
So let me run
Sora strummed with such ease, while everyone looked up, his fingers lazily just sat there, not fidgeting, not looking tired, like he had been playing all his life.
I'll dream until my head weighs 16 tonnes
Kairi giggled. She knew about that feeling. And without meaning to, she blushed a tiny bit. She didn't even realize she was doing it, and because it was such a dark room, no one else did either.
And when I wake sometime in June
Suddenly Kairi could hear Riku begin to strum. The tiny sound of the drums being played by Axel, and Roxas got ready to jump in the air
I'll say
Sora stopped, and moved to the right, to show Axel doing a short drum solo. Everyone in the crowd went crazy. Just before Axel finished, Sora pointed at the crowd, indicating that he wanted the crowd to sing. Kairi took a deep breath, and joined in with her friends.
Take me back to the sweet times
Sora smiled as he began to play. Roxas yelled out a "yeah!" as loud as he could, while Riku laughed as he strummed the guitar. Sora then took over the remaining lyrics
The hot nights
Everything is gonna be alright
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
And even if I have to wait til next year
I don't care
All I know is that I'll meet you there
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
Sora knew that the song was going to end soon, and he strummed as fast as he could, Looking at Roxas, as he jumped up, strumming the selected notes.
Take me back to the sweet times
The hot nights
Everything is gonna be alright
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
And even if I have to wait til next year
I don't care
All I know is that I'll meet you there
Riku and Roxas joined in with Sora. The 3 spiky teens smiled, while the girls squealed as loud as loud as they could. Kairi couldn't shake the feeling like they were like the Jonas Brothers, but much, much better.
In the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
Baby, in the summertime
That is where I'll be
Riku finished strumming, Axel finished drumming, and Roxas jumped up in the air, plucking the final note and Sora staggered around as he ended the song. The crowd erupted in their loudest screams yet. Roxas jumped up in the air.
"Thank you, thank you, we decided to play that song as a tribute to the Destiny Islands, I hope you enjoyed it,"
The entire school erupted in response, Roxas laughed, turned to Sora, and said into the Mic, "I think they liked it," and everyone laughed.
Riku leaned into the mic and said, "Before we continue, id like to thank these two musicians for completing our band. Give it up for that Tricky bassist, Roxas Twelve!" The crowd cheered as Roxas raised his arms in the air, in a victory sign.
"And the fantastic, and quite possibly mad singer, Sora Twelve!" At this the crowd roared twice as loud.
Sora and Roxas both bowed and clapped in the direction of the audience. Kairi and Namine looked at each other and laughed.
"Now, we've got one more song before we take a bit of a break and put the DJ on. But, I seem to have forgotten the name, is there anyone out there who knows it, it's about not worrying about what other people think," Sora said, pretending to think.
From within the audience, someone said out into the Audience, "I don't care,"
"That's it!" Sora smiled, "Say it again,"
"I don't care!" the same person said again.
Kairi gasped, turned to Namine, and almost did a very un-Kairi thing. She almost squealed. This was a song Kairi absolutely loved, and this was the next best thing to having the band actually play.
"People up the back, say it after me. I DON'T CARE!" Sora screamed into the mic, and the people up the back yelled, "I DON'T CARE!"
"Now people in the front, copy me, I DON'T CARE!" Sora again screamed into the mic. And Kairi took a deep breath and screamed, along with the rest of the crowd up the front, "I DON'T CARE!"
"Now everyone all together, I DON'T CARE!" Sora screamed for the last time, and the sound was double as it had been, everyone screaming, I DON'T CARE!"
Sora's eyes twinkled, though no one could see and he knew that the moment was soon; he could see that soon enough he would be playing one of his favorite songs.
"This is Fall Out Boys international hit single delived to you through The Memories Of An Angel, I, DON'T, CARE," and when Sora finished, Axel hit the drums in a rhythmic fashion, and the Song began.
Sora began the rhythm of the Song, copied by Riku. Roxas began soon after on his bass. The girls in the crowd squealed almost as loudly as the guys cheering and jumping up and down.
Soon after, Sora leaned into the mic and began to sing.
Say my name and his in the same breath
I dare you to say they taste the same
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow in flames
Roxas, who had been roaming around the stage, walked over to Sora's Mic, and repeated the last two words In Flames. Riku had moved to the front of the stage, and was shaking his head, with people jumping up, trying to touch his Silver hair.
Brace myself and let go
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites now
Roxas moved over to his own mic, and got ready to sing. Riku also backed up to his own mic. Sora didn't even take a breath as he went straight into the chorus.
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
Roxas laughed, as he and Riku synced their voices with Sora's. Axel maintained the head thrashing he had been doing.
Ah, I Said-a I (I) don't (don't) care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
Sora, Riku and Roxas smiled at each other, as the audience members gave the 'ooos' in the right moments.
Oh take a chance, Let your body get a tolerance
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette
Palms up, I'm trading 'em (trading 'em)
Roxas copied Sora as he jumped up and down, but his voice was as clear as ever. By now everyone in the audience were jumping up and down
I'm the oracle in my chest
Roxas screamed the last three lines, In My Chest.
Let the guitar scream like a fascist
Roxas 'ooo'ed during Sora's next set of lines
Sweat it out, shut your mouth
Free love on the streets
But in the alley I ain't that cheap, now
Sora and Roxas both swayed their heads. Riku began rocking his head, while Axel just bopped up and down while drumming. Sora smiled, as he sang the chorus above the cheers of the students.
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
Roxas jumped up a couple of times, while Riku bopped his head. Sora smiled as he continued.
A-Said-A I (I) don't (Don't) care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
Sora stummed the note and stopped, placing the guitar at his side as did Roxas. Riku maintained a rhythmic notion while Axel drummed along the edge of one of the drums.
Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think
Riku spun around slowly on the spot while Sora continued to sing.
As long as it's about me
Roxas began clapping, and soon everyone in the audience followed suit, about the same time Axel began to hit the drums again
You said I don't care just a-what you think
Roxas walked over to the edge of the stage and began to play, while Riku walked to the back and bopped in front of Axel
As long as it's about me
Sora, who had not started playing, smiled as he looked down at the crowd. He was moved his head left to right, clicking his fingers at the same pace
Said-a I don't care
Sora pointed at the crowd, and they all screamed in response:
(I don't care)
Roxas was hopping on one leg, then on two, bouncing up and down.
Said I don't care
Sora pointed into the air, and once again the crowd responded
(I don't care)
Then Roxas began to mimic the words exactly after Sora had said them.
Said I (I) don't (don't) care (care)
Sora had pointed into the sky every time Roxas repeated the word.
I (I) don't (don't) care
Roxas leaned right into the mic and said in between Sora's lines
(No, I don't)
Sora knew the final chorus was upon them, and he prepared himself
I don't care (I said-a I don't care)
Sora sung into the mic, as Roxas screamed into the hall, covering the cheers of the audience
I said-a I (I) don't (don't) care (care)
Riku strummed down his guitar as hard as he could.
I, don't, care
Sora brought the guitar up to him, while Riku strummed twice and Axel hit the drums twice.
what you think
Roxas and Riku jumped up and down thrashing their heads. Sora rocked his head from left to right, and Axel joined in with the head thrashing as he hit drum-kit with much enthusiasm.
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
Roxas and Riku both spun around, as fast as they could, generating music from their guitars, while Sora repeated the chorus.
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
Riku jumped up and began playing his solo part, plucking the strings with one hand while the other randomly, Roxas continued to scream into the mic, Axel kept the rhythm, but his hands wanted to hit faster. Sora continued the rhythm of the guitar as he flicked his head back, causing the glasses to go up, finally unveiling his eyes, and he went into the final verse, with a smile on his face, and a shine in his eyes.
I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
in misery
As Sora ended his long misery he released his guitar, and it hung there, the hall erupted in applause, cheers, screams, and Miss Notes sobbing, which could be heard through the mic.
"Thank you, Destiny High," Sora yelled into the mic, and they all walked off the stage.
"That…was…FANTASTIC," Miss Notes said.
"Thanks, miss," Sora croaked, his voice extremely sore.
"I think they want an encore," Roxas put his ear against the curtain.
"Maybe later, right now I want to dance with my girl," Riku said, and he placed his guitar down and walked off to the side of the stage.
"Yeah, me too," Axel placed the two drumsticks in his pocket and left via the same door.
Roxas smiled as he placed his guitar down and said, "I think I'll dance with someone else's girl," and he walked out the door.
Sora sighed, shock his head and he followed his brother out the door. By now the DJ had already come on, and was playing something Sora didn't recognized. Sora walked out of the stage area, and towards the punch bowl.
He grabbed himself a drink, and before he put the cup to his lips, he held his hand over it, and clicked his fingers, after which he drunk it down in one gulp.
Sora saw in the corner of his eye that Seifer was looking at Sora, waiting for him to get drunk. Sora smiled, and decided to humor himself. He held his hand over the bowl and clicked his fingers.
The liquid in the bowl dropped down by about a centimeter. Sora smiled as he dipped his cup into the bowl and took another sip. He continued to do this, until he had taken 5 glasses of fruit juice. Then he placed his cup in the bin, turned, and walked quite normally, smiling as Seifer just looked at him shocked. Suddenly there was a chuckle, and Sora turned around, and smiled.
Standing at the door, one dressed in what looked like a pilots outfit, the other in a black clock were two of Sora's friends, and fellow Guardian Angels, Leon Eleven and Cloud Nine.
Leon Eleven, 27, had long brown spiky hair and blue eyes with a scar across his nose.
Leon had once been a great soldier in World War II, and had been known back then as Captain Squall Leonheart. He had joined when he was 21 years old, and had been known to carry only two weapons with him, one of which was unusual for a soldier to carry. His side arm, a revolver he had found while on a reconnaissance mission, and a sword, strapped to his back. He had been known to engage in sword combat with the enemy, and was very famous for it.
A couple of days before the end, however, Leon had taken a group of his best soldiers and decided to take out a battalion of Russians. They had all been killed, except for Leon, who had taken out 23 Russians before they had captured him, tortured him for information, and finally killed him.
He had been given the power of speed, and had fused his revolver and sword together, and had dropped the name Squall Leonheart, and had taken up the name Leon, and rose through the Fathers ranks as one of his greatest Guardian Angels, but still wore his dog-tags, that he had taken from the place he had been tortured and killed.
Cloud Nine, 25, had spiky blonde hair, with aqua eyes, and was known to never smile. He had once been known as Cloud Strife, and the part of an elite group of assassins known as SOLDIER. All SOLDIER's were fitted with an Emotion Cancellation Chip, or an ECC. This made them the most deadly people on the earth, not scared of anything, not upset, and most importantly, not people who pitied anyone. Cloud had been one of the top SOLDIER's, until he had found out about ECC on his bosses computer. When his boss, a man known as Rufus Shinra, caught him, he stood up, and, knowing where the ECC was, parted his hair, and ripped off the chip. Then as he had walked out, Rufas had shouted, "You walk out of the building, and you'll be dead in a week!" Cloud had stooped, turned, smiled, and said in a nonchalant voice, "Bring them on,"
He had survived for 3 years, and had devoted his life to protecting those SOLDIER were targeting, and had become SOLDIER's Most Wanted. While protecting a child, Cloud had been killed by his once mentor and friend, Sephiroth. Cloud had chuckled as he lay there, stating, "Hell has gained another warrior," while the sword wound killed him
However, because he had repented, and had sort to do good, he had been welcomed into heaven, where he had cried in front of the father for what he had done, and saw all the people he had killed, and cried for all of them and what he had done to them. But then the father showed him all those that had survived thanks to him, and for that, they had forgiven him. Cloud had been given the ability of Stealth, meaning he could become unnoticed by anyone, make no noise, and appear without the use of teleportation. He also carried round a large buster blade that could be split into several swords, something he had fashioned out himself
"Hey guys," Sora smiled.
"Messing around with the students, aye Sora?" Leon asked.
"Well, it is something to do, and at least I was able to extract the alcohol from the juice,"
"So, where's Roxas?" Cloud asked as he looked around for escape routes, guilty faces, and trouble, an old habit he had been trained to do while in SOLDIER.
As if right on cue, Roxas bolted out of the crowd and skidded right next to Leon.
"Oh, hey guys," Roxas smiled as a rather large Year 12 student came out, ready to pound Roxas into the ground, stopped, as he noticed the Gunblade hanging from Leon's back, or the Buster Blade hanging off Clouds.
"Stay away from my girl, you here?" The boy said, and without waiting for an answer, walked back into the crowd of dancing people.
"Roxas, just stick with single girls for once would you," Sora shook his head.
"Aww, come on bro, you know it's more exciting to try and get taken ones," Roxas pointed out
"You called getting the shit beaten out of you exciting?" Sora asked.
"Yeah," Roxas laughed.
"Well, if it isn't the Troublesome Twelve Brothers, together as usual," Cloud smiled.
"What's up, Cloud and Leon?" Roxas asked.
"Well, seeing as we had nothing better to do, we decided we'd come and visit you instead,"
"Did you bring your principals?" Sora asked.
"Jeez, Sora, can't you think of anything else besides work, we're at a dance, loosen up," Roxas nudged his brother.
"And yes, we did bring them, they're over there," Leon pointed to somewhere in the crowd, and Sora and Roxas turned.
Standing next to Kairi and Namine were two girls that looked a bit older than they were. One of them had short black hair, and was wearing a black tank top with a black jacket with black mini shorts and long black boots, with a black headband. Next to her was a girl, a bit taller than her, with brown hair and a long ponytail with a red bow. She was wearing a pink dress with a red jacket and brown boots.
"Aerith Gainsborough," Cloud pointed at the girl with long brown hair.
"Yuffie Kisaragi," Leon pointed at the girl with short black hair.
Sora and Roxas nodded and they decided to point to their principals.
"Kairi Faller," Sora pointed at the girl with autumn.
"Namine Richmond," Roxas pointed at the girl with Blonde hair.
"Shall we all be formally introduced?" Leon asked.
"Umm, yeah, I suppose we should be," Sora said, as they all began to walk over to the four girls.
Some of the students seemed to realize that there were new people at the school. The boys all looked at the guys weapons, while the girls looked at their muscular features. Leon and Cloud rolled their eyes.
"No matter where you go, you'll always get beloved fans," Cloud muttered.
"I remember once I was positioned to guard a girl that went to an all girls boarding schools. I was the first guy they had seen in months," Roxas laughed, "They all wanted to have sex with me, it would've been pretty nice…except most of them couldn't stand two seconds without me, I'll tell you, they're more vicious than most Demons and Heartless we've met,"
12------12
Kairi and Namine were just clapping off their friends, and were laughing at all the girls that were screaming. Suddenly the DJ came on, and he began to do his job, and soon everyone was jumping up and down. The DJ has a lot to live up to Kairi thought I mean, he's going to have to make them as happy as they all were when Memories of an Angel were playing.
Suddenly the lead guitarist of the band she had been thinking about slid right next to her, and Kairi gave him a hug.
"You were fantastic," Kairi smiled.
"Yeah, we were," Riku laughed.
Suddenly Axel walked up to them and put his arms around Yuna. Yuna turned around and instantly locked lips with Axel.
Kairi made a noise of disgust at the two, "Get a room," She stated, and Axel replied by sticking up her rude finger.
"Of course," Kairi rolled her eyes and smiled up to Riku, who smiled back at her.
"Hey, where's Sora and Roxas?" Namine asked.
"I think I saw Sora getting a drink," Rikku said in an unemotional voice
"And Roxas dancing with some girl," Zexion said in a voice similar to how Rikku had said it.
For a moment, Namine looked disappointed, but then she smiled, and turned to Yuna to talk about something
"Do you mind if we join you?" Said a voice behind Kairi, and she turned around.
Standing there were two girls, who older than them. One had black short hair, and was wearing a black tank top and black jacket, with black mini shorts and long black boots with a black headband. She looked about 19 or 20. The other looked older; she had brown hair in the style of a ponytail. She was wearing a pink dress with a red jacket and matching red bow and was wearing brown boots. She looked about 22 or 23.
"I haven't seen you two around, are you new to the Destiny Islands?" Kairi asked.
"Umm, we're just visiting, I'm Aerith Gainsborough," The girl with brown hair said in a very calm, sweet voice.
"I'm Yuffie Kisaragi," The other girl with short black hair had a very loud voice, but it wasn't obnoxious at all,"
"Oh, Hi, I'm Kairi Faller," Kairi smiled.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Namine Richmond," Namine grinned.
"So, how did you hear about the Destiny Islands?" Kairi asked.
"Oh, umm, our Friends told us about it, we were sworn to keep it a secret," Yuffie said, and for a moment, Kairi could have sworn that Yuffie had shifted her eyes, but then she dismissed it.
"Hey does anyone want to grab a drink?" Kairi asked.
"Nah, we're all good," Axel said, indicating Riku, Yuna, Demyx, Paine, Rikku, Zexion and Himself.
"Actually, I'm a bit thirsty," Namine stated.
"Yeah, so are we, we haven't had a drink since we arrived here," Yuffie smiled, and they all extracted themselves from the crowd and walked over to the punch bowl.
Kairi suddenly realized that the punch bowl they had arrived at was the one Kairi had seen Seifer spike.
"Oh, I wouldn't drink that, I saw a kid spike it before," Kairi stated.
"Oh, don't worry, I've taken out all the alcohol," Kairi spun around to see Sora, Roxas and two others Kairi didn't recognized.
"How did you do that?" Namine asked.
"Oh, simple, I managed to extract it by using my extraordinary Angelic powers by removing the alcohol from reality itself," Sora smiled.
Kairi's eyes widened, as she looked from Aerith and Yuffie to Sora, realizing that he had just told them he was an Angel.
"Oh, and, to put your mind at ease," Sora turned to Kairi, "They already know about Angels," Kairi's looked changed from surprise to confusion.
Sora pointed to the two men next to him and said, "Allow me to introduce you to their Guardian Angels, Leon Eleven," Sora pointed to the man with brown hair, "And Cloud Nine," Sora pointed to the other man.
"Cloud Nine," Namine smiled, knowing the saying.
"We used to joke about that," Roxas smiled, "You were always safe near Cloud Nine,"
"Actually, that saying is based on him, he begun the saying, Your on Cloud Nine," Sora stated.
They all laughed (Except for Cloud, who was still looking for possible escape routes) and they all joined in with the dancing.
After an hour and a half of dancing, The DJ walked off, and Pence walked back on the stage.
"Now, the nights almost over, but I've had a request, could we please get Memories of an Angel up here please?"
"Well, here we go, talk to you later," Sora smiled as he and Roxas walked over to the stage. Kairi, Namine, Aerith and Yuffie pushed past everyone until they made it to their group of Friends, while Cloud and Leon took positions next to the two most clearly visible exits. Riku and Axel extracted themselves from the front and jumped up onto the stage.
"Let's give it up for the Memories of an Angel," Pence roared and jumped into the crowd.
Sora walked over to the mic, but Roxas tapped him on the shoulder, and whispered something, Sora nodded, and continued to walk towards the mic.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Singing runs in my family, it always has been, so, today, my brother will be singing our last song," Sora smiled, as he and Roxas swapped positions and also took his brothers Bass Guitar, while placing his own on the side of the stage.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, today we are going to play a song, dedicated to one person, Miss Larxene Wilson,"
The spotlight focused on one person, a girl, who was wearing a blue mini dress that was extremely revealing. Kairi almost gagged at how she was dressed, and how most of the guys were drooling over her. She seemed to be enjoying the attention, which made Kairi extremely sick, and angry that Roxas was singing a song dedicated to her.
"Not many of you may have heard this song, but I hope you enjoy it anyway," Roxas smiled, and Axel hit the edge of the drumkit. 1, 2, 3, 4
Black dress with the tights underneath,
I got the breath of the last cigarette on my teeth,
And shes an actress (actress),
But she ain't got no need.
Shes got money from her parents in a trust fund back east.
Riku plucked the strings with ease, and simply, Sora also plucked his strings with ease, Roxas removed the mic from its stand and moved around the stage, while Axel began to lightly hit the drumkit
T-t-t-tongues always pressed to your cheeks,
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girls teeth,
T-tell your boyfriend if he says hes got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian and I ain't fucking scared of him.
Sora began to stamp around the stage while plucking the guitar while Riku shock his head in a certain motion, while Roxas reached out with his hand to the audience, and Axel began beat the drums harder than he had done before
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me.
Sora laughed, but managed to continue playing, Kairi also laughed, So this was the song he was planning, how fitting she thought, as the entire audience erupted in laughter. Larxene looked at everyone, and tried to smile, and pretend it was about someone else, unfortunately, this wasn't working. Roxas pointed at Larxene as he continued singing.
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me.
Riku resumed just plucking the guitar, and Sora bopped up and down. Axel smiled at certain audience members, as Roxas continued walking across the stage singing
X's on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands.
And your setlist (setlist),
You stole off the stage,
Had red and purple lipstick all over the page.
Riku turned slowly around, still plucking his notes. Sora strutted over the stage, plucking the bass guitar.
B-b-b-bruises cover your arms,
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm.
And the best is (best is),
No one knows who you are,
Just another girl alone at the bar.
Riku and Sora both spun around while Roxas jumped up and down, Axel hit the drums with such force while everyone in the crowd cheered and laughed.
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me.
Larxene screamed in frustration as she walked out of the feeling. Kairi laughed in triumph, and looked at Roxas, pointing at Larxene as she left through the doors, right past Cloud, who didn't even bother giving her a second glance, as he continued looking at several students jumping up and down.
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me.
Sora walked over to Roxas's mic, and began to back him in the lyrics. Riku was the only one making music, by plucking his guitar.
Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said, Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said, Shush girl shut your lips,
Do the Hellen Keller and talk with your hips.
Axel hit the drum softly, as soft as he could; it was the only sound that was made from the band. Roxas slowly sung into the mic, while he watched Seifer walk out of the building, he must want to go see Larxene Roxas thought.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa…
Axel's drumming got louder; Riku began to strum quickly, Sora jumped up and down, plucking at his Bass.
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me
Roxas jumped into the crowd and they all lifted him up, cheering and laughing. Sora and Riku Spun around as fast as they could, Axel hitting the drums as hard as he could, thrashing his head.
She wants to touch me (Woah),
She wants to love me (Woah),
She'll never leave me (Woah, woah, oh, oh),
Don't trust a ho,
Never trust a ho,
Won't trust a ho,
Won't trust me
Riku plucked a couple of times, ending the song, and waited while everyone cheered and screamed, they all brought Roxas back to the stage and he placed the mic back in the holder, and he jumped back down. Sora and Riku placed their guitars on the stage.
Namine pushed through the crowd until she reached Roxas. She jumped into his arms, cried out, "You were brilliant," And gave him a long, deep kiss. Roxas staggered a little bit, but soon was kissing her back, just as fiercely. Sora shook his head at them, but then noticed something. He noticed that the Kiss was beginning to get slower, like it was slowly going from lust to something more. Sora knew what was happening, and had to stop it. He looked over to the Amplifier, and clicked his fingers.
Instantly static came out of the amp, and the entire crowd placed their hands over their ears, everyone except Sora, Leon and Cloud. Sora clicked his fingers again, and the static instantly stopped.
Everyone looked around, and began talking. Sora, Riku and Axel jumped off the stage, while Pence walked up onto the stage, and said, "Sorry bout that, folks, I think one of the amps short circuited, but its all A-OK now, will you please thank Memories of an Angel for that entertaining, if yet hilarious song, and they are absolutely right, that song really suits Larxene,"
The entire crowd erupted in laughter, with Kairi laughing louder than everyone. Pence chuckled, and continued.
"And that ends the dance, lets us thank all of the people who made this possible, please exit via the doors," Everyone clapped one last time, before all shuffling towards the doors.
Roxas grabbed hold of his brother, and took him over to a corner.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Roxas snarled.
"I did it for you," Sora muttered back.
"Did it for me?! That was an amazing kiss, and you had to ruin it," Roxas stated.
"That's exactly why I did it, you were beginning to fall for her," Sora said.
"What are you talking about?" Roxas asked.
"You were falling in love with Namine," Sora muttered fiercely.
"Oh, of course I wasn't, she's just another girl," Roxas waved his hand.
"You and I know that she isn't just another girl," Sora pointed out.
"Yeah, Yeah, But it was just a kiss, there are plenty of people I'd rather go out with, or fall in love with, than Namine Richmond, and most of them are Angels,"
"Just keep your mouth away from her, alright," Sora said.
"Yeah, Yeah, whatever," Roxas stated and he walked over to their friends.
Sora shook his head, this time in frustration; He won't listen to me until he's walking this earth for eternity Sora thought as he walked towards Leon and Cloud.
Sora walked over to Kairi and Riku, who were busy talking about Roxas and Namine.
"I think its cute, they are made for each other, obviously," Kairi stated.
"Yeah, well, I'm not good at that stuff," Riku muttered.
"What do you think, Sora? You think they'll make a good couple?" She asked.
"What? Oh, umm, I dunno, maybe, I'm not sure," Sora muttered.
"Well, I think they make a very cute couple," Kairi stated.
"Right, well, I think we all better be going," Sora stated, as they walked out the doors.
Riku told everyone that he needed to get home As soon as possible, so after a goodnight kiss from Kairi, he got in his car and drove off.
Sora, Roxas, Cloud, Leon, Kairi, Namine, Aerith and Yuffie waited until everyone had gone, and the lights had gone out, so it was completely dark. Sora conjured a ball of white substance, and threw it up in the air; it went up 20 meters then showered light over the parking lot.
"There, that light will only shower for us, anybody else looking this way won't be able to see it, I mean, if we're going to say goodbye, we might as well see each other," Sora stated.
Kairi went up and hugged Aerith, "It was nice to meet you,"
"Yeah, you too," Aerith smiled.
Namine and Yuffie were talking bout Yuffie coming back.
"Hey, if you ever want to come for a holiday, summer really is the best time," Namine smiled.
"I'll be sure to come back," Yuffie smiled.
Sora shook Clouds hand, "Always nice to see you,"
"Keep her close, I smell the demons stench coming, happy times like this wont last forever" Cloud's nostrils flared, and Sora nodded in response, and watched as Leon nodded at Roxas, and he smiled.
Cloud took Aerith in a hug, as did Leon with Yuffie, and they both spun around, disappearing. Kairi watched as there feint outlines appeared and disappeared across the road, down to the beach, and across the ocean, and out of sight.
Sora and Roxas invited Kairi and Namine into the car, and soon the car drove out of sight.
12------12
On top of a mountain, overlooking the school, two black small creatures with yellow eyes were standing on top of it, speaking in a very old and ancient language.
"Jkhue hojjie nvemnnt opetsr hillwo,"
"We have found the last, they were here an hour ago,"
"afskuh aksgfiewq fgfhd sahfifoew had fhskgf,"
"One of them is in there,"
"dgfu hfiuw hwfiuwe wehfghuweqgf hwjfb fhwq"
"Or one of them left,"
"wefbiuef fhwbfwhe dsif wefhwue hfb gfhslia,"
"It doesn't matter, you know what we must do,"
"wbqfi fwqfi fdtuy lopdrsent ahbd ahjkad,"
"Let the bounty hunter know,"
Both of the black creatures disappeared in black balls, and it was silent, except for the crickets making their midnight music, and the ocean, playing the melodies the father made to soothe those who needed it.
Next time on 12
Kairi and Namine talk to Rikku, Paine and Yuna.
"How about we all begin a band for the competition,"
Meanwhile, Riku talks to the guys
"It's Kairi's birthday soon, we need to think of something to do,"
Sora turns to Roxas and Nods.
"Riku, I think we can get a band together,"
Kairi, Namine, Yuna, Paine and Riku are competing in a band competition.
"I never liked you, even if I tried to,"
Kairi walks into a club, were everyone jumps up
"SURPRISE!"
Sora introduces Kairi and Namine to the Haven's Elite.
"This is the greatest group of hero's everyone will ever meet,"
A Guardian Angel and his Principal arrive home
"What was that?"
Someone who was hiding in the shadows reveals himself.
The girl screams as he pierces her heart
"One down, Six to go,"
Well, that came a lot quicker that I thought it would, thats probably because I've been sick and hurt, so, you get it a lot quicker. I hope you've enjoyed it, except, theres one problem. All this writing has made me use every ounce of imagination I have on this, now, I want you guys to have the best, so I'm going to try write a songfic, so my imagination can be filled up. So, read, and review, nice long reviews that make me smile, and for those that only review once, review again, like I said, id rather have long ones than short ones, but if you can only manage a short one, than that's fine. So, enjoy, and at least its now and not November :P
P.S the part where Roxas wishes they could have gotten the Paperclip cult is a reference to one of my best friends bands, check out their youtube video showing their cover:
