Chapter 57: Summer Vacation is Over
Hey everyone I'm back. I am so happy that so many people enjoyed Mary Poppins and I hope you'll like the surprises I have in store. Please review and Enjoy.
It was the last day of Summer Vacation and everyone was making sure all of them were ready to for the Twilight Town festival.
"Man, I can't believe Summer Vacation is almost over." Hunter said.
"I know, tomorrow we all have to go back to Ever After." Cedar sighs.
"Lot has happened in the last month." Namine said as Xion and Amora walked in.
"Wait til Headmaster Grimm sees us Gliding through the halls, he'll drop his mouth in shock." Raven smirks.
"By the way Roxas as I am already your magic I would find it mandatory that you sign up for my class." Amora said.
"I'll be sure to sign up." Roxas nods when Amora hugs him from behind.
"You know I can offer one on one tutoring if you'd like." She flirts causing Roxas to blush.
Melody looked at her glared. 'This stinks I've hardly had any time with Roxas all summer and today's the last day. I have to make today count.' Melody thought.
"I am ready for the Struggle Tournament today, Hayner's gonna get it." Daring smirks swinging a Struggle Bat around.
"Just try not to lose to quick." Darling said holding a bat as well.
"I really am in a pickle if both my siblings face each other." Dexter sighs.
"Don't worry about it Dex because I'm gonna win this." Sparrow said.
"Sure you will Sparrow." Briar rolls her eyes.
"My money is on Darling." Kitty whispers causing Maddie to giggle.
"Come on what are we still doing here? It's the last day of Summer Vacation." Ashlynn smiles.
"She's right let's make this last day count." Rosabella said.
"Twilight Town Festival here we come." Cerise said.
All of them smile as they left the mansion and entered town where a giant festival was in the main streets of Twilight town. Booths filled with fun games, prizes and lots of delicious food were everywhere.
"Wow." Xion said when they noticed Pence and Olette waving at them.
"Hey guys." Pence smiles.
"Glad you all could come." Olette said walking over.
"Where's Hayner?" Roxas asks.
"He's in the main square preparing for the Struggle Tournament." Pence said.
"Hope he's ready to lose." Daring smirks.
"I'd watch yourself Daring, Hayner's been practicing and besides even if you win you have to beat Seifer as well. He entered too." Pence said.
"Wait that jerk who keeps annoying you guys?" Namine asks.
"Yep, Seifer head of the Twilight Disciplinary Committee." Olette said.
"Well he won't stand a chance against us." Hunter said.
"We're gonna go get registered. See you guys later." Darling said as she, Daring, Hunter and Sparrow left.
"Well the Struggle finals aren't for another few hours. Let's go check out the festival." Raven said as they all went to check it out.
Roxas was looking at the food when he noticed Amora looking at one booth.
Walking over he saw a vendor chopping up pieces of Octopus and making Takoyaki.
"Interesting no creature has ever been made like that in Asgard." Amora said as Roxas walks over.
Seeing her curious look Roxas walks over and buys some. "Here Amora want some?" He asks holding a piece out to her.
Amora blushes as Roxas feeds her a piece. "Wow very tasty." Amora smiles.
"Yeah it's called Takoyaki." Roxas said taking a bite.
"I like it." Amora said.
At the booths Alistair, Bunny, Raven and Dexter were playing games.
Alistair was at the balloon popping game as he threw three darts they hit the balloons dead on winning him a stuffed teddy bear.
"Good job Alistair." Bunny said when he held the bear out for her.
"This is for you." He blushed.
Bunny blushes as she takes it. "T-Thank you."
At another booth Dexter and Raven were looking at the bottle stack game. Thinking he could win Raven a bear he asks for 3 balls. Throwing one he misses the bottle completely.
"Uh just warming up." Dexter said.
Picking up the second one it hit the top bottle making it rock back and forth, but it remains on. Growing Dexter throws the ball with all his might and knocks two of them down and the third one rattles. Dexter and Raven watch closely hoping it would fall over, but it doesn't.
"Aw man." Dexter groans.
"You almost had it." Raven said.
"Uh here you go." The vendor said handing him a tiny stuffed turtle.
"But I didn't knock them all down." Dexter said.
"Everyone's a winner at my booth." He smiles.
"Uh Raven, th-this is for you." Dexter said handing it to her.
"Wow thank you. It's so cute." Raven smiles.
Seeing her smile Dexter couldn't help but blush.
Cerise and Ramona were at the whack a clown game.
"I love this game!" Ramona grins smacking multiple clowns with a mallet.
"I'm gonna win this game!" Cerise grins.
At the goldfish scoop game Kitty, Maddie, and Cedar were trying to scoop up fish.
"Wow this game is hard." Cedar said breaking another net as the fish jumped through it.
"Watch a pro." Kitty said as she scooped a goldfish into a bag.
"How'd you do that Kitty?" Maddie asks.
"It's fish I'm a cat, do the math." Kitty smirks holding up her prize.
As Roxas was walking through the festival Melody looked from nearby and saw her chance.
"Okay Melody time to make your move." She said holding up a stick of Sea Salt Ice Cream. "Hey Rox—"
"Roxas there you are!" Briar calls out running to him.
"Come on the Struggle finals are about to start!" Apple said.
"Oh man we gotta hurry." Roxas said as they ran off.
"Oh man I forgot." Melody groans before taking a big bite of Ice cream causing her to let out a scream. "Aah brain freeze."
As everyone gathered in the main square everyone saw Darling knocking Sparrow to the ground with a Struggle bat grabbing 5 orbs.
"Times up! And our 4th finalist is Darling!" The ref said as the crowd cheered.
"Wahoo! Go Darling!" Rosabella cheers as Roxas, Briar, Apple and Melody arrived.
"How much did we miss?" Roxas asks.
"We're in the top 4." Ashlynn said.
"Alright folks let's meet our 4 remaining contestants. First, we have Head of the Twilight Disciplinary Committee, Seifer!" He said pointing to a teen with a white jacket and blond hair under a black beanie. "Next, we have local attitude problem, Hayner."
"Yeah go Hayner!" Pence and Olette cheered.
"Next we have a new face to Struggle his name is how he fights it's Daring!" He said introducing him as everyone from Ever After cheered. "And finally, our last and only female entry we have Darling!"
"Good luck sis." Daring said.
"Thanks, you too." Darling said.
"You guys are going down." Hayner said.
"You say that every year and every year I wipe the floor with you." Seifer said.
"Well this year you'll have some new competition." Daring said.
"Please I'll be knocking that crown off your head in no time." Seifer said.
"Alright folks let's Struggle!" The ref said as everyone cheered.
The first match was a rematch between Daring and Hayner.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time." Hayner grins.
"Bring it." Daring grins.
"Begin!" The ref said as they both charged once the timer starts.
Daring and Hayner clash as they knock each other backwards.
Hayner charges forward and knocks into Daring hitting a few Struggle orbs off him.
"Wow Hayner's gotten faster." Blondie said recording it.
"Yeah he's really been practicing for this." Pence said.
Daring recovers from the attack and runs forward ready to strike. Hayner swings his bat but Daring sidesteps dodging it and allowing Daring to land a powerful strike to Hayner's gut.
"Hayner's gotten good, but so has Daring." Namine said.
Daring knocks Hayner backwards as he runs to grab the struggle orbs.
Recovering Hayner shakes his head and whacks Daring knocking many orbs off him. Hayner swings again but Daring blocks him making him stagger back.
Daring charges to hit him with everything, but at the last second Hayner swing his bat hitting Daring juse seconds before he did.
"And time!" The ref said ending the match. "And the winner with 130 orbs is…Hayner!"
Pence and Olette cheer as Hayner waves to the crowd.
Daring picks himself up and walks over to him. "Looks like we're tied now." Daring said.
"Yep, next match we have will settle this." Hayner grins as they high fived.
"And look at that folks true sportsmanship right in front of us." The ref said.
Daring walks back to everyone and Darling walks over. "You better win sis, the Charming name is on the line." Daring said.
"Count on it." Darling said as Seifer steps out to face her.
"Try to make me somewhat look good. I don't want to beat you up too badly." Seifer said.
"Don't worry you won't." Darling said.
"Begin!" The ref said as Seifer swings his bat at Darling who ducks and whacks him in the face. Making everyone cheer.
"Go Darling!" Pence said.
"Take him down!" Xion cheers.
Seifer rubs his face. "So long!" Seifer swings his bat but Darling blocks it making him stagger backwards.
"Hyaaa!" Darling yells hitting Seifer repeatedly knocking him to the ground.
"Whoa she's good." Olette said.
"Darling's one of our best fighters." Roxas said.
"Show that Seifer who's boss!" Dexter and Daring cheered.
Seifer jumps into the air and brings the bat down on Darling knocking her backwards. When Seifer sees the Struggle orbs fall to the ground and rushes to them.
Using this opening Darling jumps in front of him and swings her bat knocking Seifer and many Struggle orbs the ground.
Seifer picks himself up and sees many of his orbs were gone.
"Time! And the winner is Darling with 175 orbs!" The ref said.
"Whoo!" Everyone cheers as Darling waved to all her friends.
"And now the match that will decide our champ and who will be awarded the champion belt and the trophy." The ref said gesturing to a belt and a trophy with 4 different colored spheres in it.
Roxas looks at the trophy and smirks. 'Still the same trophy.' Roxas thought remembering when both he and Sora held that trophy.
Hayner walks up to face Darling and they shake hands.
"Alright folks let the final match begin!" He said as Darling and Hayner faced off.
"Here I come Darling." Hayner said.
"Bring it." Darling said.
The match began and Darling and Hayner were swinging their bats trying to get a hit in.
Hayner swings his bat, but Darling side steps and hits him.
Running in Darling hits Hayner multiple times making him fall backwards.
Hayner picks himself up and charges at Darling holding his bat like a lance, but at the last second Darling blocks it making him stagger back.
"Sorry Hayner." Darling swings her bat with lots of power knocking all the Struggle orbs off him as the timer goes off.
An hour later the sun was setting, and Darling had her Struggle Champion Belt wrapped around her and the trophy in her hands.
"I am really liking this belt." Darling smiles.
"Darling you were amazing." Raven said.
"Way to go sis." Daring said patting her on the back.
"I can't believe I won." Darling smiles.
"I have the whole thing recorded to prove it." Blondie smiles.
"I have to admit that was quite a game." Amora said.
"Hey how about we get some Ice cream to celebrate?" Apple smiles.
"I'm in." They all said.
"Come on guys let's get a great spot for the fireworks." Olette said.
Roxas was about to follow everyone when he felt a hand grab his. Looking over he saw that Melody was holding his hand.
"Oh Melody?" Roxas said surprised.
"Hey Roxas, I uh wanted to know if you wanted to go to the clock tower? I got Ice cream." She nervously said holding up two sticks.
"Uh sure." Roxas said following her.
At the top of the clock tower Roxas and Melody were sitting down finishing their ice cream.
"So Roxas, what you think of this summer vacation?" Melody asks.
"I loved it, you guys really made it fun. And wait til Headmaster Grimm sees us all gliding through the halls. Can you imagine the look on his face?" Roxas chuckles.
Melody giggles at the thought.
"I had a great time too, I just wished we got time to hang out more." Melody said.
"Well I'm not going anywhere." Roxas said.
"Yeah I'm really glad." Melody smiles. "Hey Roxas…I-I really like spending time with you." She blushes.
"Me too Melody. I love being with all you guys." Roxas said.
"Well how do you feel about being around…me?" She asks.
"You? Well Melody you are amazing. You're kind, supportive and the most amazing musician I have ever seen. I really enjoy being around you." Roxas said.
Hearing this Melody felt her heart race like crazy.
"Hey Roxas." Melody said getting his attention.
Turning towards her Melody immediately kisses him on the lips. Once she did the fireworks went off nearby surprising him.
When she separates Melody had a big smile on her face and a blush. "Looks like our summer vacation is over." Melody said.
And with that an amazing summer came to an end.
