Chapter 54: Time to Hit the Beach
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. This was a fun one to write and finally the last girl in the harem will realize her true feelings. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been a week since Amora had officially become a member of the team and she was starting to fit in with everyone even Maddie.
Today everyone was in their rooms getting ready for their trip to the beach tomorrow.
Apple was going over the checklist. "Let's we got everything we need?"
"Yep we got the food." Ginger said.
"We got the drinks." Darling said.
"We got everything Apple no need to worry." Raven smirks.
"Sorry, just been a long time since I've gone to the beach. I'm so excited." Apple smiles.
"We all are. I'm hoping to work on my tan." Daring said.
"Hey has anyone seen Roxas?" Cerise asks walking up from Ansem's lab. "I can't find him anywhere."
"Yeah I wanted to show Roxas my new swimsuit." Amora said.
Hearing this Cerise made a soft growling sound.
"He said he and Xion needed to do something before we left tomorrow." Raven said.
"What could they have to do that's so important?" Melody asks.
Walking through Twilight Town Roxas had his hands over Xion's eyes.
"Roxas where are you taking me?" She asks.
"It's a surprise." Roxas said leading her who knows where. "Okay open them.
Xion opens her eyes to see she was at the top of the clock tower with Lea standing across.
"Hello." Lea smiles.
A big smile appears on Xion's face. "I don't believe…I never thought we'd be able to do this again."
Soon the three of them were sitting on the edge eating ice cream and laughing just like old times.
"And then Merlin runs around with his beard on fire and screaming for someone to put him out and Kairi is chasing after him with a bucket of water. As she trips the water spills on the floor and Merlin slips and fall into the fountains at Radiant Garden." Lea said as they all laughed.
"I can't believe so much has happened in such a short time. It seems like yesterday we were still working for the Organization." Xion smiles.
"Hey, don't worry we're never going back there." Roxas smiles.
"Not until we wipe the floor with Xehanort and his new members anyway." Lea adds.
As they ate a smirk appears on Xion's face.
"Hey Lea." Xion said getting his attention. "I just realized Roxas was the one who wanted his heart more than any of us, but we beat him too it."
"Hey!" Roxas said.
Lea chuckles. "Well you have to remember Xion out of the three of us Roxas was always the slow one."
"Oh thanks." Roxas said sarcastically before the three of them laughed as they enjoyed the sunset before heading back.
The next day everyone was in the Tempest as it landed at the beach.
"Wahoo! Water here I come!" Sparrow said running out as fast as he could.
"I don't know about you, but I am gonna use this to work on my tan." Daring said putting on a pair of shades.
As everyone got out they all had smiles on their faces.
"Wow Ashlynn what's with the goggles?" Raven asks seeing Ashlynn in flippers, goggles and a snorkel.
"Hunter and I are going to look at the sea life." Ashlynn said as Hunter walks over.
"I'm going to look for seashells." Xion said walking out.
"Now this is just right, a day off." Blondie smiles.
As Roxas walked out wearing his swim trunks he lays out his towel and enjoys the sea air.
"Aw I've missed this." Roxas said when suddenly he felt something really soft press into his back.
"Quite a relaxing place don't you think?" Amora whispers into his ear.
Jumping backwards Roxas saw she was wearing a blue bikini set that really showed off her body.
A blush appears on Roxas's face. "Wow Amora…you look wow."
"Thank you. You know Roxas maybe while we're here you and I could have a little alone time together." Amora said leaning in close.
"Uh uh well." Roxas said nervously causing her to giggle.
"Mind putting some lotion on my back?" She asks.
"Uh Amora I'm not really sure if I—" Roxas stutters as Amora lays on the towel and undoes the string on her top. Taking some lotion Roxas starts rubbing her back.
"Mmm anyone ever tell you have soft hands for a warrior Roxas?" Amora said softly.
"Uh not really." He said as his hands moved down her spine making a soft hum come from her.
As he finished up Amora puts her top back on.
Walking out of the Tempest Cerise was wearing a red and black bikini with her hood over her head when she sees Amor flirting with Roxas and growls.
"Dang Cerise at this rate she's going to steal your boyfriend from right under your nose." Ramona said walking out.
"I can't stand her, she practically throws herself at him." Cerise said.
"You got to give the girl credit, she knows what she wants." Ramona said.
"But I want it too." Cerise said.
"Well sis if you want to get Roxas you gotta do something to get his attention." Ramona said.
"Like what?" Cerise asks as Ramona yanks her hood off revealing her wolf ears and pushing her towards Roxas. "Got get him."
"Whoa!" Cerise said stumbling over to him, "Uh hey Roxas."
Roxas looks up to see Cerise and blushes. "Wow Cerise…you look pretty without your hood on."
Hearing a blush forms on her face. "Wow uh thanks I uh thought I'd try something new." Cerise looks at Amora and smirks causing her to glare at her. "Want to go hang out together?"
Amora was about to open her mouth to say something, but Cerise grabs his hand and pulls him away.
Amora looks at Cerise and glares.
A half hour later Roxas and Cerise were walking along the water.
"You know believe it or not this actually my first time ever coming to the beach." Cerise said.
"Really?" Roxas asks.
"Yeah I guess I'm a forest girl at heart." Cerise said.
"Well I'm glad I could help you try something new." Roxas smiles.
Cerise giggles. "It seems having you around makes everyone want to try something new. Hey Roxas, can I ask you something?"
"Sure Cerise."
"My family is having another picnic in the Enchanted Forest when the semester starts up and I wanted to know if you'd like to join us?" Cerise asks.
"Wow really? Even after the Heartless attack from the last time I ended up at your family picnic?" Roxas asks.
"To be fair the Heartless came before the picnic, but yes I really would like for you to come." Cerise said.
"Well if you don't mind I'd love to." Roxas said causing Cerise to smile.
Leaning in she gives Roxas a big hug before going over to Ramona.
Walking around Roxas saw Lizzie, Maddie, Bunny and Cedar playing cards and across from them Holly, Poppy, and Raven were about to play volleyball with Dexter as the ref.
"Hey Roxas, you want to play? We need one more." Dexter calls out.
"Sure, who's my teammate?" Roxas asks.
Smirking Holly nudges Poppy signaling this was her chance.
"Y-You're with me." Poppy smiles walking over.
"Perfect." Roxas smiles.
As the two teams faced off the game started with Holly serving the ball over the net with Roxas jumping to knock it back. Raven hits the ball and it flew over the net as Poppy dived to hit it she misses and the ball the hits the sand.
"Point for us." Raven said.
As Poppy picks herself up Roxas couldn't help but think how pretty she looked in her purple bikini.
The game continued with both sides scoring points they were tied with 5 points each.
"Alright last point decides it." Dexter said handing the ball to Raven since it was her turn to serve.
Raven takes a deep breath little did she know a little bit of her magic went into the ball. Raven tosses the ball and hits it causing it to bounce off the edge of the net coating the net with magic as the ball falls to the ground meaning Raven and Holly won.
"We won!" Holly cheered.
"Man, we almost had you." Poppy groans.
"We'll get them next time." Roxas said walking over to her.
"Yeah you're right." Poppy smiles when suddenly the Volleyball net started to shake.
"Uh Raven are you doing this?" Dexter asks and Raven holds up her hands indicating no.
Suddenly the net shot out at Roxas and Poppy tying them both together in the next pressing their bodies against each other.
Unable to stand up anymore Roxas falls into the sand with Poppy on top of him.
Turning bright red Poppy couldn't believe how close she was to him.
'Oh my fairy godmother this is so embarrassing…yet at the same time I wish we didn't have to get free.' She thought when Raven uses her magic to undo the net.
"I am so sorry I did not intend for that to happen." Raven apologizes as the two of them climb out.
"Don't worry Raven we all know it was an accident." Holly said.
"Uh yeah accident…right Poppy?" Roxas blushes.
"Total accident." Poppy said blushing as well.
Walking along the water Xion picked up a blue shell and holds it up to her ear.
"Perfect." She smiles taking it and walking over to the group.
Looking over she saw Rosabella, Kitty and Daring burying Sparrow up to his head in the sand causing her to giggle.
"That's going to be funny when we have to pull him out." Xion smiles when Blondie walks over.
"Hey Xion, want to help me judge the sandcastle contest?" Blondie asks gesturing to everyone in
"Sure, sounds like fun." Xion said
Walking over they saw Ramona and Cerise facing off against Apple and Briar, Dexter and Darling, and Roxas with Namine.
"Maybe for the next trip we should take everyone to Destiny Islands. I bet they would love it there." Roxas said.
Namine imagines her and Roxas sitting on the beach like Sora and Kairi did and a blush forms on her face.
"That sounds…great." She said.
"Alright let the judging begin." Blondie said as they walked over to see Cerise and Ramona had made sand sculptures of their wolf pack from the Enchanted forest.
"Nice job girls." Xion said as she and Blondie moved onto Dexter and Darling.
"We present the White Knight of Wonderland." Dexter said revealing a life size version of Darling's Wonderland armor.
"Ooh it's impressive." Blondie said.
"I've been to Wonderland before, but I've never seen something like that." Xion said impressed.
Darling and Dexter high five as they move to Roxas and Namine.
"Well we couldn't really do anything fancy but here you go." Namine said presenting an above average sandcastle.
Walking past them they look to see Apple and Briar.
"We present to you Ever After High." Apple said as she and Briar showed them a small version of Ever After High.
"Now that is just right." Blondie smiles.
"We have our winners." Xion said as Apple and Briar cheered.
"Well we didn't win but still it was fun." Roxas smiles.
"Yeah I had a great time." Namine smiles.
As the day was almost coming to an end Roxas was swimming through the water one last time. Popping his head out of the water he swims back to the shore.
With Apple sitting by the ocean with the waves washing her feet when a shadow blocks her sun. Turning around she looks to see a guy with short brown hair and muscular body standing nearby.
"Uh hello?" Apple said.
"Hey there beautiful I saw you from nearby and I have to say you're even hotter up close." He said.
"Thanks, uh I guess." Apple said.
"You know a girl like you shouldn't be on this beach by herself she might get hurt." He said as she stood up.
"But I'm not by myself I have my…" Apple looks around but didn't see any of her friends.
"Don't worry babe if you want I can keep you company." He said about to wrap his arm around her, but Apple moves out of the way.
"Listen thank you, but no thank you." Apple said backing away feeling uncomfortable
"Don't be difficult I just want to hang out." He reaches out to grab her, but a hand stops him.
Apple looks surprised to see Roxas grabbing the guy's arm.
"Listen she told you she's not interested so get lost." Roxas glares.
"And who are you? Her boyfriend?" He asks causing Apple to blush slightly.
"Listen get lost or else." Roxas said with fire in his eyes and sparks coming from his hands scaring the guy.
"Man the hot ones are always taken." He grumbled storming off.
"Sorry about that Apple." Roxas said looking over at her.
'For what? Thanks for helping me out back there." Apple said.
"I guess I just didn't like how he was talking to you and wanted him to leave. I didn't mean to look all scary." Roxas said.
"Well thanks for that Roxas." Apple smiles.
"Well everyone is gathering for the campfire and smores." Roxas gestures causing Apple to smile.
"Sounds perfect." She walks over and trips on a small hill of sand knocking into Roxas.
"Whoa!" Roxas reaches to grab her but ends up falling into the sand with her.
Apple looks to see Roxas and her faces were literally only a few inches from each other. The two of them stared into each other's eyes and as Roxas tried to move his hand he ended up feeling something soft causing Apple to turn bright apple red.
Roxas looks down to see when he tried to catch Apple he had accidentally grabbed her by the rear during her fall causing them both to blush bright red.
Quickly both of them get up and were looking away nervously now idea what to say.
"So uh…to the others?" Apple said.
"Works for me." Roxas said walking away little did he know Apple moved one of her hands to her rear where Roxas grabbed her.
'We were so close. No, it's not right Daring is my Prince not Roxas, but…why did I want him?' She thought.
As night came all of them were around the fire eating smores. As Roxas reaches for the marshmallows he ended up touching Apple's hand as she reached for them. Blushing both of them pull back still thinking about earlier.
"This was quite a trip." Lizzie said.
"We should come here every summer." Alistair said.
Meoldy looks around and gets an idea.
"Hey Roxas how about a song to end wrap this up?" She suggests.
"Roxas sings?" Amora said surprised.
"Oh, you're in for a treat. Come on Roxas sing us something." Cedar said as everyone nods in agreement.
"Well I do have one I just wrote. Ready Melody?" Roxas asks as she gets the instruments ready. "I learned this after our last mission." Roxas said as Melody started playing.

Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own
You'll change inside when you realize
The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend
The gift of a friend
Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared
And they're through the highs and the lows
Someone you can count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you'll go
You'll change inside when you realize
The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend
And when your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground you, you feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
And there's no signs leading you home, you're not alone
The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in
When you believe in, when you believe in the gift of a friend
"Wow that was amazing." Amora said in awe. 'I think I like Roxas even more now.'
"How does Roxas keep coming up with these?" Blondie asks turning off her Mirror Pad from recording it.
"Hey guys your marshmallows." Xion said as they looked to see they were almost burning.
Moving quickly, they all ate their marshmallows as they enjoyed the rest of the time there before heading back to the mansion.
That night Apple was sleeping in room when we go into her dream, there she was put into her enchanted sleep by eating the poisoned apple.
As Apple slept a figure with blonde hair walked over. Bending down he kissed Apple on the lips causing her to open her eyes.
"D-Daring." She said noticing the blonde hair first, but as her version was restored she saw that instead of Daring it was Roxas who woke her up.
"Good to see you're awake." Roxas smiles leaning in to kiss her again causing Apple to wake up in surprise.
"Oh my fairy godmother what is happening to me? I thought he was nice and a sweet guy, I thought that was cute, but am I actually in love with Roxas?"
And for those who are wondering what the next world is here's a hint:
