Chapter 18: Roxas' First Date
Hey everyone I'm back with another chapter. I know this one is shorter than my usual chapters, but I think you guys will love it. Soon I will be starting Spring Unsprung and I hope you enjoy the what I have planned for that. Please review if you have any suggestions for Roxas in the future. Enjoy.
It was a relaxing day at Ever After High as the students were getting out of their final classes for the day.
It had been a few days since Namine unlocked her Keyblade and she was learning to use it like an experienced fighter.
Roxas was at his locker putting his books away when Melody walks over to him.
"Hey Roxas, what's up?" She asks.
"Oh, hey Melody things are going pretty well." Roxas said.
"Cool cool, hey I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight just you and me." Melody asks blushing slightly.
"Sure, you mean like for working on Homework?" Roxas asks.
"No, I mean like a…well like a date." Melody said running her fingers through her hair.
"Uh well sure I guess." Roxas said not sure what a date was.
A big smile appears on Melody's face. "Awesome, I'll see you tonight." Melody runs off to her room to get ready.
"Wow she sure looked happy when I said yes." Roxas said walking away unaware that a girl with white hair tied in a ponytail, pale grey skin and pixie wings. This was Faybelle
Thorn daughter of the Dark Fairy.
"Interesting so Melody has a crush on Roxas, I know a few girls who might not be happy to hear this." She smirks before flying off.
In the student rec room everyone was relaxing. Namine was playing cards with Holly, Poppy, Maddie, and Raven. Cerise was playing pool with Dexter and Daring, and Apple was talking with Briar and Blondie.
The door opens and Faybelle walks in.
"Oh, hey girls did you hear the news?" Faybelle asks casually.
"News? What are you talking about Faybelle?" Namine asks curious.
"Don't get drawn in Namine, she's just trying to get a reaction." Cerise said.
"Oh well I was just going to say Roxas has a date with Melody Piper tonight." Faybelle said.
"What?!" Cerise misfires and the 8 ball bounces out of the table and into the bookcase.
"Yes! I win!" Daring said holding his arms up in victory.
"I didn't know Roxas liked Melody." Dexter said.
"Oh, you didn't hear Melody went right up to Roxas and asked him out for a night of romance and he said yes." Faybelle said striking a nerve with some of the girls.
"Yeah right Faybelle this has another one of your tricks written all over it." Poppy said.
"Oh? Could someone be jealous that Melody got to him first before you were able to ask Roxas out?" Faybelle teased as Cerise let out a small wolf growl.
"Why are you even telling us this?" Cerise asks.
"Oh, please like you girls don't have the hots for Mr. Keyblade, coming from another world, never belonging anywhere. I see the way you look at him." Faybelle said before ducking as Namine threw her Keyblade at her. "Jeez learn to take a joke." She said leaving the room.
"Wow so Roxas has a date?" Raven said impressed.
"Yeah great." Namine mumbles.
"Hey, I'm going to get some food I'll see you later." Cerise said leaving.
"See you tomorrow Holly I'm going to work on homework." Poppy said leaving.
"I'm going to bed." Namine said leaving.
The three girls leave with anger and jealousy in their voice.
That night Roxas was waiting near Hocus Latte for Melody.
"Okay so I'm on a date with Melody, why am I so nervous? Come on Roxas you battled giant Heartless for a year, but when a girl comes up to you for a date you get nervous.
What is going on with me?" Roxas asks himself when Melody arrives.
"Hey, there Roxas glad you came. Did I keep you waiting long?" Melody asks.
"No, I just got here, so uhm what would you like to do?" Roxas asks.
"Follow me." Melody grabs his hand and takes him to the movie theater.
"What's this place?" Roxas asks.
"It's a movie theater, people come here to see movies and just hang out. I thought you might like this one it's called The Knight Trials and they have an awesome music
soundtrack in this one." Melody said.
"Always music with you Melody." Roxas smiles.
"Hey daughter of the Pied Piper remember." She smiles leading Roxas in.
Roxas enters to see the theater was styled like picnics in the park each area had a blanket and pillows for them to sit down on, all the areas layered on a slope facing the
screen.
"Come on Roxas." Melody sits down on a blanket gesturing for him to sit down next to her.
Roxas looks around to see boys and girls sitting together, gazing into each other's eyes, and the boys seemed to do this move where they yawn and wrap their arm around
the girl.
"Uh okay." Roxas said sitting down next to her.
"Roxas can I tell you something? When I asked you out earlier today I kinda thought you might end up saying no." Melody said.
"Well to be honest I had no idea what a date was at first, but I saw you smiling and I just thought I would try it." Roxas admits.
"Wait you've never been on a date before?" Melody asks surprised.
"No never." Roxas said.
'So that means Roxas chose ME to be his first date.' Melody thought as a blush appeared on her face.
"And to be honest, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do right now, and it makes me nervous." Roxas said when Melody puts her hand on his hand.
"Hey, I'm nervous too, so how about we just sit down and enjoy the movie and our time together." Melody smiles.
"Sounds good to me." Roxas smiles.
The movie starts and all the tension between them went away. The soundtrack music put Melody in a happy mood while Roxas liked the main hero, a boy from no beginnings
trying to become his own person.
As the movie progressed Roxas felt something on his shoulder, he looks over to see Melody resting her head on his shoulder. Smiling Roxas decides to try that move he saw earlier and wraps his arm around Melody holding her close.
When the movie ended they both left the theater and headed back to Ever After High.
"Hey Melody, I uh I had a great time tonight." Roxas said.
"I had fun too Roxas, maybe we could do this again sometime?" Melody suggests.
"Sounds great." Roxas smiles.
Melody looks at Roxas and decided to take a big risk. She leans in forward and pecks Roxas on the cheek. "Night Roxas." She said leaving to go back to her dorm.
Roxas moves his hand up to where she kissed him and blushed. "Why did that feel so nice?" He asks himself before heading back to his room.
In Melody's room she laid down on her bed with her hands over her heart. "I can't believe I actually did it. I kissed Roxas." She smiles.
