Hello everybody, here's a new chapter for Valentines Day. I hope you like it because I honestly don't xD
Special Chapter 13: Valentines Day
Roxas and Xion walked through the streets of Twilight Town after a tiring day defeating Heartless. Just like the last three days, Roxas and Xion wondered why the town was decorated with lots of hearts almost in every corner, why almost everybody in the town offered them to buy heart-shaped chocolates and why every body told Roxas if he would take Xion to the Valentines Days Festival.
Not having answer to any of their questions, they decided to ask Axel on the way to the clock tower for ice cream, even their ice cream was now heart-shaped, but the same taste.
-So you two want to know about Valentines day? –Axel asked, Roxas and Xion nodded. Axel was actually surprised why didn't they asked before, he was now used to them asking questions almost every day.
-Yeah. A lot of people here have asked me if I'm going to take Xion to he Valentines Day Festival.
-Oh… right. They celebrate it every year. Well, Valentines Day isn't a holiday for us Nobodies. It's a day for lovers, and since we don't have a heart to love with, then it's practically a normal day for us. –he explained.
Roxas and Xion seemed disappointed for not being able to celebrate it. Axel immediately noticed this and tried to fix it…
-But you know, not only lovers celebrate Valentines Day, friends also do.
-Really? That means we could celebrate it then, right? –Xion asked excited, Axel nodded
-Yeah, but it would actually be a little weird, but I guess we could.
-So… what else they do in Valentines Day? –Roxas asked
-Well, as I said, lovers and couples use this day to show the love they feel for each other. As you may noticed, the most common gift are chocolates.
-That doesn't make sense. If I had a heart, I wouldn't show my love to others in one day, I would show it always, everyday. –Xion explained, Axel smiled at the girls explanation
-Maybe you're right. Be sure to remember that when you get your heart, understood? –Xion happily nodded as she gave the last bite to her ice cream
-So… when's Valentines Day? –Roxas asked
-It is tomorrow. The festival its at night, so you better finish your mission fast, got it memorized? –the two teens nodded
-Got it memorized. –Roxas joked
-So… why don't we go to play with our Nintendo 64? –Xion asked happily, Roxas and Axel stared at her practically with a glare, she was unbeatable on videogames.
-This time… you're going down… -Axel said in a deadly voice tone as he opened a dark corridor, Xion laughed
The next day, Axel was woken up by a "Happy Valentines Day" from Roxas and Xion, they were taking the day seriously and were excited for that night's festival. Every member stared at them confused on why they were so happy. After breakfast, they got their mission from Saix and left in order to finish it fast. Axel stared at them laughing at the little teens enthusiasm, Saix stared at them also, confused.
-Why are they so happy? –Saix asked, coldly as always, Axel shrugged
-Who knows?
-Oh, Oh! I think I know. I'm pretty sure they're in love. What a better date for them to go steady that on Valentines Day! –Demyx said appearing practically from nowhere, Saix glared at him
-Don't be ridiculous Number IX.
-Oh I don't know Saix, I actually agree with Demyx this time. Who says you need a heart in order to have a girlfriend? –Xigbar said, appearing the same way Demyx appeared before
-You two are ridiculous. Now to your mission, NOW! –Saix said angrily leaving, Xigbar and Demyx chuckled
-Does he only think on missions? –Axel joked, Demyx and Xigbar laughing
-So Axel, what's wrong with Tiger and Poppet? –Xigbar asked
-Nothing, they're fine. But you know something, they're actually going to the Valentines Day Festival at Twilight Town.
-Really? Owww, how cute! –Demyx cried, Xigbar and Axel rolled their eyes
-Well, I knew it. They don't need a heart in order to be together. –Xigbar said
-Actually, they aren't a couple. Well… not yet! –Axel said with an evil smile on his face
Some hours later, Roxas and Xion were at Halloween Town defeating a big bird-like Heartless. Both of them were hiding behind a tombstone since they couldn't damage the Heartless because it easily dodged all of their attacks.
They were discussing what to do to, when the Heartless found them and attacked, both of them ran in opposite directions, the Heartless following Roxas and attacking him with his peck. Xion used this opportunity to paralyze it with a thunder spell.
-Tha…Thanks Xion… -Roxas said scared, a little more and maybe he would be bird's food by now, Xion giggled
-It's nothing, now finish it. –Roxas nodded and with a powerful slash from his Keyblade he defeated it. Both teens stared at the floating heart as they sighed, tired.
-Well, we better get going.
-Sure. I hate this creepy place. –Xion said, hugging herself as she stared at all the graves around them
Roxas and Xion went back to the castle and got ready for the Festival. They were now with their casual clothes and went to Axel's room, to their surprise, he wasn't there. They started searching him at the Grey Area, kitchen, halls and even at the Round Room, but it was obvious he wasn't at the castle.
-I wonder where he is... –Xion mumbled
-Maybe he's at the clock tower! –Roxas thought aloud
-Relax lovebirds, I'm here. –Axel's voice echoed, Roxas and Xion started looking every where for him, but he wasn't there, until he came out from a Dark Corridor
-Whoa, how you did that? –Xion asked impressed
-Secrets from life. –Axel simply said, Xion glared at him
-Whatever, are you ready for leaving? –Roxas asked, but Axel shook his head
-I'm sorry guys, but I have some important things to do.
-What! What kind of things? –Roxas asked
-Yeah! What's more important than your friends? –Xion added, actually, Axel felt a little bad for lying to them, or at least he had feel if he had a heart
-It's classified. Saix is sending me to who knows where.
-Oh. –Roxas and Xion exclaimed, both with sad faces
-But come on, I need you two to do me a favor. You two must have a good time. Can you do that for uncle Axel? –Roxas and Xion chuckled
-We'll try. –Xion laughed
-Very good. Now Roxas, I need you to lend me Xion for a little time. –Axel said opening a dark corridor and practically pushing Xion into it, and then he stepping in
-Umm… Sure. –Roxas said, alone at the halls, Axel and Xion reappeared at the guy's room. The girl stared as Axel started searching for something
-What are we doing here?
-Where it is… Oh, here. –Axel said picking a girl's cologne
-What's that Axel? –Xion asked giggling
-Isn't it obvious? It's a girl's cologne. I want you to use it. –he said handing the cologne
-Umm thanks, but why? –she said, starting to spray the cologne on her clothes
-I want you to have a good date. Now lets smell. –Axel replied, starting to smell Xion's hair
-Date?
-Your hair smells good. –he complimented
-Oh, thanks. I used a strawberry shampoo. –Xion said smiling
-Well it worked. Now go to that festival and have a good time. –Axel said re-opening a dark corridor and pushing Xion into it again, she reappeared at Roxas' side.
-Are you ready? –Roxas asked
-Umm sure.
Roxas and Xion decided to go to Twilight Town, where the festival was being held, there was a lot of people over there, specially teen couples like them almost everywhere. All of them were holding their hands.
Roxas and Xion stared curiously at everything they saw, from the heart-shaped decorations, to the different activities being held on like dancing contests.
-What you want to do first? –Roxas asked
-Actually, I'm hungry. Let's go to some restaurant or something.
-Ok.
Roxas and Xion started searching for a restaurant that both of them liked. They entered and seated. They started talking of what ever thing like they used to while waiting for the waiter. While talking, Xion started watching at everyone on the restaurant, it was full of couples holding their hands, and some even kissing.
-Roxas… why is everybody holding their hands? –Xion asked
-I don't know. Maybe that's what Axel meant by showing love. –Roxas guessed, just when the waiter appeared
-May I take your orders?
-Sure. I want a Spaghetti order. –Roxas said happily
-Ok… what about your girlfriend? –the waiter said writing down the order
-…Girlfriend? –Xion asked, blushing madly, Roxas however was still acting normally, because he didn't even know what a girlfriend was
-What about you Xion? …Xion? –Roxas called
-Umm, I…I want a salad. –Xion said, shaking her head
-Gotcha. –The waiter exclaimed leaving them alone. Roxas nodded and noticed Xion had her face still blushed, which concerned him
-Xion, are you ok?
-…Yeah. –Xion said, still blushing a little. Roxas shrugged
After dinner, they went back to the festival were everybody was having fun. Meanwhile, near the place, Axel, Xigbar and a mysterious blonde girl with sparking blue eyes were watching them closely, their experiment had officially started.
-Finally, I thought we would never find them. –Axel exclaimed
-So… what's the plan? –Xigbar asked
-Simple. Misao, your mission is to go and tell them if they kissed each other on the lips, they'll win a free Sea Salt ice cream. –Axel explained
-Tell me again why I'm doing this? –the girl asked
-Because I saved you from those shadows, remember?
-Right… Ok, I'm going. –the girl said walking toward Roxas and Xion direction
-Do you really think this is going to work? What kind of fools will kiss for ice cream?
-They're innocent kids; we just want them to start showing affection to see if anything happens. Let's just wait and see. –Axel explained
The two guys waited as the girl talked to Roxas and Xion, after a little while, the girl returned but Roxas and Xion weren't kissing or anything. The girl arrived and shook her head.
-What happened? –Xigbar asked
-Those two are stupid or what? I told them what you told me to tell them and they said they didn't knew what kissing was! –the girl said angrily, Axel and Xigbar blinked in disbelief
-These is going to be difficult! –Axel exclaimed
Roxas and Xion were watching how other couples danced, still wondering why that girl wanted to give them ice cream only for kissing.
-Oh! I know Roxas, I remember now what kissing is! –Xion cried
-Yes? What is it then?
-Remember that awful movie we saw before Axel came back? Well, when they pressed their mouths and lips, that is kissing!
-Oh… right! –Roxas exclaimed remembering
-Too bad I don't remember before. We lost ice cream. –Xion said, scratching her neck
-Well it doesn't matter. Hey, do you want to dance?
-I can't dance Roxas. –Xion said with a giggle
-And? Demyx once told me you don't need to be an expert in order to dance. Just move your body the same way as the music. –he explained
-How is that possible?
-Just try and move the same as the others, come on.
-Alright, alright. –Xion sighed as she stood up
Axel, Xigbar and the blonde girl Misao were at a safe distance watching Roxas and Xion as they danced. Both of them were "dancing" with some funny moves which make them all laugh.
-Well, at least they are doing couple things. –Xigbar shrugged
-This is going to work. –Axel explained
-What's the plan this time? –Misao asked
Well, you're giving these two tickets for the "Love Tunnel" to Roxas and Xion. That's a romantic place and I'm pretty sure it will help them with their relationship. Xion watches a lot of television so I'm sure she'll do the first step. –Axel explained
-And what would that "first step" be? –Xigbar asked, Axel shrugged
-I don't know. Holding his hands or something like that.
-You don't know anything about girls do you? –Misao asked
-Shut up. What does a seven year girl know anyway? –Axel said madly
-I'm eight. AND, I know more than you think.
-Yes, yes, that's very interesting. Now go and give them their tickets.
-Me? And what should I say? –she asked
-I don't know! You're the one who knows more than I think, remember? Now GO! –Axel ordered
-Ok, ok. But you know something, you're pathetic. Using a little girl for your friends to find love or who know what else! –she said glaring at both guys
Roxas and Xion were still "dancing" as they still talked about anything it came to their minds, it had been a weird night but they were enjoying it at least. Suddenly, the girl who before appeared asking them to kiss reappeared.
-Hello. You've been selected to receive these tickets for the Love Tunnel. –she said showing them the tickets
-Hey, weren't you the same girl that asked us to kiss about half an hour ago? –Xion asked
-Oh… yes. But… that offer is over. –she said nervously
-What is a Love Tunnel? –Roxas asked, Misao started thinking in something as fast as she could
-Umm, well… it is said that… you can find your sweetheart over there. –she tried to explain, Roxas and Xion's eyes widened
-Hearts? –both of them asked
-Umm sure. –she said with doubt on her voice, Roxas took the tickets from her hands
-Thanks! Come on Xion, we have to hurry. –he said holding Xion's hand and running towards the Love Tunnel.
-What's wrong with them? –she thought aloud
-I don't know either. But you were great. –Axel said appearing from behind making the girl gasp and jump
-Well thanks because that's the last job I do for you. It's 9:30 P.M., it's past my bed time so goodbye! –Misao said leaving Axel and Xigbar
-I still can't believe you use a little girl. –Xigbar said, Axel glared at him
-Shut up.
A few moments later, Roxas and Xion were both sitting at the little ship shaped as a swan while it was sailing through the water. Both teens were excited, misunderstanding Misao words and thinking they could get hearts of their own.
Suddenly, Roxas started feeling a sweet smell and started sniffing until he sniffed Xion.
-You smell… good. I like it. –Roxas said with a smile making Xion blush a little
-Thanks. Axel gave it to me, I still don't know why, but if you like it…
Suddenly from the water, all kind of Heartless started appearing making both teens gasped
-These isn't what I thought of getting our hearts. –Xion whispered to herself, Roxas summoning his Keyblade
-Well, it looks like we'll have to work extra hours. –Roxas said attacking the Heartless while Xion was dispatching them with her magic, but they keep appearing more and more until…
-Roxas… look! –Xion said pointing where a giant Heartless appear, the same kind as the one at the Station… a Dark Side.
The Heartless destroyed the ceiling from the tunnel as everyone started running as they spotted it. Axel and Xigbar went to aid Roxas and Xion.
The Darkside was trying to punch Roxas and Xion who were now fighting in the water trying to defeat the Darkside. It started attacking again with dark energy attacks from distance making Roxas and Xion trying to find a place to hid.
-This isn't going to be easy… -Roxas whispered to her, Xion tried in desperation to summon her Keyblade, but the same as always… nothing appeared.
Suddenly a fire chakram hit the dark side and it felt back destroying completely the wooden tunnel. Xigbar appeared at Roxas and Xion's side in a dark corridor
-Hey guys, enjoying your date? –he said with a smirk
-Xigbar? –both gasped
The Darkside got on his feet again and punched Roxas who couldn't dodge it like Xion and Xigbar and felt unconscious on the water
-ROXAS! –Xion shouted picking his head from the water preventing him from drowning
-Poppet, use your Keyblade to defeat this thing. –Xigbar said shooting at the Darkside with help of Axel's chakrams
-Uhh… -Xion gasped nervously thinking on what to do but she spotted Roxas' Keyblade on the water and took it. After a minutes of attacking the Darkside was finally defeated releasing a heart as it always did.
After they defeated it, the four of them exited the tunnel. Almost everybody escaped and abandoned the Festival seeking for shelter, Xion sighed
-Looks like our night has come to an end.
-Yeah. –Roxas agreed
-Well… how was your night? –Axel asked
-It was good. We did some weird things but everything except for that stupid tunnel was funny. –Xion explained
-Hey, I thought you were on a special mission. –Roxas asked
-Ohh… It was canceled. –he lied, Roxas and Xion nodded
-Well, we better go back don't you think? –Xigbar said disappearing in a dark corridor before anyone could say a thing, Xion giggled at Xigbar's action
-We should go back also. –Axel said opening a dark corridor
-Hey guys… Happy Valentines Day. –Xion said giving both guys a heart-shaped box of chocolates.
-Hey, thanks Xion. –Axel said messing her hair
Yeah. I didn't think on giving you a present.
-It's ok. –she said with a sweet smile
That's it. Well, I'm in a hurry now so all I can say is Happy Valentines Day and please Read and Review!
