Ok this is my first completed story! I tried hard from my others and I just hope this one is good! You got me tangled in your web of lies The shattered memories show it’s you I despise Don’t look at me; do you want to make me cry? Make me cry... oh yeah... Sora was in his living room listening to his high priced CD from a new band called Cool Blue Cherry. It seemed like that was all he did for the last few days... His friends were worried from his lack of activity... I mean not even answering the phone, what was wrong with him? Riku knew how much he loved to talk, that’s why he was afraid to call him. Ding-dong! “But I found you! I found you! I found you too!†Sora sang off-pitch and loudly. Kairi was at the door wondering what that horrible noise was. “Sora!†she cried out. “No more runnin! No more hidin anymore!†sang Sora. Kairi almost knocked the door down to see if anything wrong happened to her boyfriend, and she became embarrassed to see tone death Sora sitting there belting out lyrics to a song. She walked over to him and removed his headphones a bit disappointed. “No! No! No! No...†he began. He opened his eyes and looked around hearing no music, he turned to see if he knocked them off his head, then he suddenly jumped at the sight of his girlfriend. “Oh hey Kairi! What’s up? Say do you mind handing me my headphones back?†Sora asked. “Uh no, no, no, no.†she said mocking him. He frowned at her. “Why not?†he asked. “Because, we haven’t seen you in days... and yesterday was our annual trip to Sunfun Land!†Sora pictured last trip, they all were forced to wear those red and orange sun ray hats... and Kairi looked so excited unlike to Sora and Riku. “Yeah... but that place is for seven year olds! Me and Riku are too old for that kid stuff.†said Sora. “What are you trying to say?!†Kairi snapped. Sora gulped, seeing the deep burning anger in his girlfriend’s eyes. “Uh... nothing, nothing... I’m kidding, Sunfun Land is awesome see!†Sora tried smiling but was too afraid to. After trying to convince Sora to come outside for about an hour, Kairi gave up. She sighed and handed him his headphones, only to be snatched out of her hand. She left the house after thinking that force wouldn’t work. Sora ran up to him room thinking he would have some more privacy there, plus his CD player died on him, so he had to get batteries for it. When he got in there he admired all of the Cool Blue Cherry posters on his wall. He plopped on the bed looking at the lead singer Alexa. “Oh Alexa, you rock my heart, and manage to make Kairi and Riku jealous. How do you do it?†he asked. He stared into her yellow eyes that seemed to glow. They were probably contacts actually. Her short blonde hair was spiked up into a mullet, which looked nothing like that guy he fought with the sitar..., what was his name Demy? “Your lips shine when you frown, but you make me smile even if you are paper.†said the fan boy, Sora. He sighed and tried to find the batteries... he checked in his drawer he usually kept them in... darn it, he was out. The disappointed Sora just decided to listen to the radio. The song When I grow up played; it seemed to be playing a lot... that’s why Sora decided not to listen to the Pussycat Dolls. “That was the song of the hour! Call now and be caller number 4 to win two concert tickets and backstage passes to see Cool Blue Cherry playing live tonight at 8 in Spirit Creek... I swear don’t miss out on this opportunity now!†the radio announcer announced. Sora almost fell off his bed when he heard that, he immediately jumped up, ran downstairs and grabbed the phone dialing the station’s number. “You are the 3rd caller.†said a voice. Sora gasped. “Congratulations 4th caller, will you give us your first name?†the announcer asked with excitement. “Kairi.†said a familiar voice. Sora dropped the phone in amazement and excitement. “Go Kairi!†he cheered almost dancing and doing flips along with it. “So we have to ask, who are you going to bring to the concert with you?†“Oh that’s easy, my friend Riku.†she said cheerfully. Sora stopped dancing and his happy face slowly turned confused. “But... but Riku hates Cool Blue Cherry.†His disappointment grew as the next song began to play. Thirty minutes later Sora ran outside, he was going to the island hoping Riku and Kairi were there. He was right; Riku and Kairi were there playing volleyball against Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie. “Hey congrats on winning the tickets Kairi!†Selphie exclaimed serving it. “Thanks Selphie.†Kairi said hitting it to Riku. Riku hit it over the net scoring a point for them. “Who’s Cool Blue Cherry anyway?†Tidus asked. “A really suckish band, they like to do mixtures of pop, hip-hop, and rock.†said Riku frowning. Tidus served it, but Wakka jumped up and spiked it. “Hey, Riku Kai...†Sora began. Thump! Sora fell down from the impact of the volleyball. “Well look who came out for a change.†said Wakka smiling. “Oh yeah you hit Sora 50 points!†exclaimed Tidus. Riku walked over and helped his poor friend up. “Are you ok Sora?†Selphie asked. “Yeah I’m fine, hey Kairi...†Sora began. “Forget it Sora, you’re not getting my tickets... me and Riku are going to go see them.†said Kairi. “We are?†Riku asked. “Yes!†“But... but you two hate Cool Blue Cherry... why would you enter a contest?†“To teach you a lesson.†said Kairi angrily. Sora sighed and looked up at them. “Look I’m sorry guys, I guess I deserved that, I missed that day at Sunfun Land, which was stupid... I guess I just got so obsessed. I’m sorry! I wish I spent more time with you guys!†Sora said almost crying. Kairi looked at him with pity and sighed. “Well you’re going to start... tonight, you and Riku go to the concert together.†said Kairi. Sora was touched and took the tickets from her hand. “And I’ll make it up to you too! Tomorrow I’ll take you out to Sunfun Land, then dinner, I promise.†said Sora. Kairi’s eyes lit up. “Thank you Sora! You and Riku have a good time tonight!†said Kairi. Selphie, Wakka, Tidus, and Riku stopped paying attention when she talked about Sunfun Land, they imaged the terrible time they had last year. Live @ Spirit Creek It was unbelievable how Sora found Spirit Creek, and that he managed to get Riku to go along with him. But all that mattered to him was that he was there. They got in the ticket line together, Sora waiting eagerly with Riku that could care less. They watched to see all the eager fans. There was a crowd of young adults; one girl looking slightly emo was wearing a Cool Blue Cherry shirt, short shorts, and black converses. There was a guy with spiked up light brown hair, who looked like a rocker fan, there was another guy who was black who seemed like a giant teddy bear, and the last person was a beautiful girl wearing a tight hot pink dress and black leggings. The reason the two noticed this crowd was because a younger crowd seemed to know them... and they seemed oddly familiar. One boy was tall with short dark dark brown hair that seemed longer at the ends of his hair; he had light blue eyes, and he seemed to be a bit bummed. There was a girl with flipped out reddish brown hair, amber eyes, and colorfully fashionable clothing, she seemed bummed out too. There was another girl who was tall and pretty, she had golden blonde hair and bright green eyes, she wore a belly shirt, shorts, and looked excited. But the most excited looking one was a boy with blonde medium length hair, brown eyes, and a Cool Blue Cherry shirt. “Oh my god can you believe we got tickets!†the boy exclaimed. “I know! I’m so excited, Cool Blue Cherry rocks!†said the tall girl. The girl with amber eyes was about to say something then stopped. “No they don’t, they suck!†said the boy with light blue eyes. “Shut up!†said the boy and girl with blonde hair. “Hey guys... look I see our tutors.†said the girl with amber eyes. They ran over to talk with them. “Now who do those two guys remind me of?†Riku asked curiously. “You got me.†said Sora shrugging. They got towards the front of the line and showed the man the tickets. “Go on ahead boys.†he said. “Hold on we have backstage passes!†said Sora showing the man. “Yes you do... next!†the man exclaimed. “Come on Sora someone can show us inside.†said Riku pushing his friend along. They went to a desk and asked about the backstage passes, the woman at the desk took them to a room. Sora was so excited and Riku was kind of impressed. There was a buffet table, a couch, a stereo, and a huge TV. Then there expression changed to confusion when they saw a woman with light blonde hair, talking on a cellphone. “Where is he?! Alexa is ready, Bob (bassist) is ready, Gretchen (drummer) is ready, even Robby (works the DJ table) is ready which takes him forever, but you’re telling me our electric guitarist has been knocked unconscious with a sharp looking Frisbee?! My mother is a better lair then you!†she exclaimed. The woman looked down on the ground. “Whatever... I’ll find someone else.†Another woman entered the room with brown hair, glasses, and a clipboard. The other woman hung up angrily. “Ok, we lost our guitarist, do you know if Bret Rook can step in?†“He’s on vacation, remember?†the woman with brown hair asked. “Just great, great!... Oh Alterna I need an aspirin.†said the woman with blonde hair. “Um... hi.†said Riku. “Ok, who let the kids back here? Security!†“Wait! We have backstage passes!†said Sora showing his around his neck. “You see Hirop...†said Alterna. “Oh... I’m sorry for that; you see this is a big show for Alexa. Anyway I’m hi... I mean her manager Hirop.†said Hirop. “Should I double the aspirin amount?†Alterna asked. “Yes please.†Alterna walked off. “And that’s my assistant as well as Alexa’s... Alterna, she’s actually my best friend.†said Hirop. The two boys were silent. “Well I’m sorry to tell you guys this, but you’re going to have to wait to come here until after the show.†said Hirop. “O...ok.†said Sora. “What?! What a rip off!†said Riku. Sora pushed Riku out of there quickly. “Come on Riku, let’s go.†said Sora. “You got to be kidding me!†“Come on already! Let’s do what she says, she sort of scares me.†So the two made it to their seats, which happened to be next to the group of younger people from earlier. The boy with blonde hair was next to Sora. “Isn’t this awesome I mean front row!†said the girl with blonde hair. “I know Alexa is hot!†said the guy. Sora looked over at him and smiled. “Hey nice shirt.†“You too.†the guy replied. This was pretty stupid considering they were wearing the same shirts. “I’m Sora, and that’s Riku.†“Hey I’m Lexis, this is Shri with the blonde hair, that’s Tama with the amber eyes, and the loser over there is Asher...†said the boy. A video began to play from the back of the stage, which was shaped like a runway... the stage was not the video screen. An image of Alexa appeared, and the crowd cheered. “What is Alexa? She’s an icon of beauty, fashion, and creativity.†said someone from the video. “Oh she’s the lead singer of course... very confusing to understand actually.†said the drummer. “She takes the energy she creates and brings her music to life like living art.†said the bassist. “She... can put on quite a show.†said the DJ laughing some after his comment. “She brings meaning to both genders men and women... nothing that graphic though! I actually like her better this way.†said Hirop smiling. “Cool Blue Cherry is ok, but Alexa really knows how to get the crowd going... believe me.†said Alterna. “She’s heading to the tops!†said the guitarist. Music began to play and it got the crowd wild, well besides Riku. Alexis strutted out in a leopard spotted tube top with a shiny black belt, a loose black neck tie, black tight pants, and black shiny boots. Her hair was sort of styled in a mohawk fashion. She walked down it like a model would, stopped and posed. The band was in view as well in the back. Every inch of me was on fire when you kiss me Don’t you know you turned me on You would know, in reality you don’t really miss me But what will you say once I’m gone What’s the matter boy what’s your problem You must really be ashamed It’s not me, you got a problem You really earn blame Alexa was rapping while the rest of the band was resting besides Robby anyway. Sora couldn’t help but notice the replacement guitarist looked oddly familiar too, like he had seriously seen him before... like a long time ago. Alexa walked over towards the other side with Sora and Lexis. She bent down and rapped to that section, reaching her hand out like she did to the other side. Sora, Lexis, and Shri were probably the loudest screamers there. And you know I don’t give a f... You know what never mind it’s over baby. Eh baby. No matter what you say... it’s nothing to me now unlike it used to do. Alexa looked over at Riku who seemed not impressed; she rolled her eyes and got herself back up. The other band members began to play turning into a rock/rap mix. So every time I turn around... I’ll keep my eye on you. She smirked turning around looking back at Riku. Sora and Shri began to laugh at him. You say come on over the water’s fine! Let’s start over, cause you’ll be mine. Forget what I ever said to you! I say baby have you ever realized I’m just through! Uh huh, uh huh! That was the chorus in Alexa’s song I’m Through... it was one of her most popular songs. After that she sang Black Butterflies, You Make me Cry, Fresh out of the Box, Chicks are Fly, Doesn’t Ring a Bell, Don’t you Know, Pain Killer, Circus la Chuchu, and her number one hit Shattered Memories. “How are y’all doing?†she asked. Mostly everyone cheered, you can guess who didn’t. “Well I hope you enjoyed the concert, and I’d like to give it up for our final song... give it up for 2 in Black!†she announced. “Ok, who are 2 in Black?†Shri asked Tama. “I don’t know...†said Tama, she turned towards Asher. “Don’t look at me.†he said. “Sora... look.†said Riku pointing towards the stage. “I thought that guitarist looked familiar!†said Sora. Alex strutted back down the runway stage as a new figure appeared on stage he was shorter, with a grey fedora on his head. The guitarist followed him upstage who had black bowler’s hat on. I don’t want another pretty face I don’t want just anyone to hold I don’t want my love to go to waste I want you and your beautiful soul “What the h*ll? I didn’t buy tickets for this!†said Shri. “I like it actually.†said Tama smiling. “It burns my ears!†said Asher covering them. “Sora he sounds familiar.†said Riku. “That’s because he’s...†Sora began. I know that you are something special To you I’d be always faithful I want to be what you always needed Then I hope you’ll see the heart in me. “What did you say?!†Riku asked. “Because he’s!...†Sora began. Lexis looked over at Tama this song reminded him of her. I don’t want another pretty face I don’t want just anyone to hold I don’t want my love to go to waste I want you and your beautiful soul You’re the one I wanna chase You’re the one I wanna hold I won’t let another minute go to waste I want you and your beautiful soul Yeah You might need time to think it over But I’m just fine moving forward I’ll ease your mind If you give me the chance I will never make you c’mon let’s try. “Oh my god! Get on with it already!†Shri yelled out. The guy sang the chorus again; the front row was booing him... poor guy. Tama noticed Lexis was looking at her, she blushed some and looked away but she smiled some. “Die!†Shri yelled out throwing pieces of popcorn at the singer and the guitarist. “What’s wrong with Shri?†Tama asked. “She hates boy bands guy pop... seriously.†said Asher. The two looked at Shri. “You suck get a real job midget!†Am I crazy for wanting you? Maybe do you think you could want me too? I don’t wanna waste your time Do you see things the way I do? I just wanna know that you feel it too There is nothing left to hide The guy sang the last two choruses which was hard because of Shri. “I’m telling you Riku those two are really...!†Sora began. I don’t want another pretty face I don’t want just anyone to hold I don’t want my love to go to waste I want you and your beautiful soul Ooooooo Beautiful Soul, yeah Oooooo, yeah Your beautiful soul Yeah “Thank you goodnight!†said the guy. The guitarist bowed with him and they walked back up the stage. “Boo! That’s right shortie walk it out! You might be a beautiful soul but your singing ain’t so pretty... yeah buh bye!†said Shri. “Shri!†said both Lexis and Tama. Alterna and Hirop were watching from backstage. “How many hits do you think that song got?†Alterna asked. “Not enough to kill it.†said Hirop. “The question is does he really have a beautiful soul.†said Alterna. “No the question is who cares.†said Hirop. The two looked at each other and began to crack up. Alexa, and the band appeared back on stage. “Give it up for 2 in Black!†she announced. “Boo!†Shri booed as everyone else clapped. “Now, will the lucky backstage people come on backstage in a few minutes... thank you you all are an awesome audience!†Alexa announced. Everyone began to head out. “Well nice meeting a true Alexa fan like you Sora.†said Lexis. “Right back at you Lexis.†said Sora. “Ma’m will you please come with us...†a security officer asked. “What did I do?†Shri asked. “You disrupted the concert with your trash talk and littering.†said the other officer. The two officers took dragged Shri away as her friends watched. “I better go get my cousin.†said Asher sighing, Tama nodded and followed him. “Well bye guys.†said Lexis leaving. Sora and Riku waved goodbye as he left. “Now shall we go meet Cool Blue Cherry?†Riku asked. “We shall.†said Sora. They hopped onto the stage and walked down it, Sora was tempted to strut, but decided not to. Hirop was waiting for them. “Well boys should I escort you?†Hirop asked. “Uh... sure.†said Sora linking one arm with hers. Riku linked onto the other arm. “She’s pretty when she’s not mad.†Sora thought to himself. They walked through the back curtain seeing a closet door. Hirop opened it allowing them to enter, bringing them to the same room from last time. The band was all in there talking and everything. “Hold on... I’ll get Alexa out here before she gets undressed.†said Hirop. Riku looked at Sora he was probably thinking some perverted thought that Kairi would not like at all. “Ok Sora what were you saying before?†Riku asked. “Ok, I’ll tell you, that guitarist and singer is really...†Sora began. “Demyx and Roxas got it memorized?†a voice asked. The two jumped and turned to see Axel. (You see he’s not dead, neither is Demyx ) “Axel what are you doing here?! You... you fade.... and then... like poof!†Sora began. The redhead looked at the boy strangely. “It’s called fake suicide, or if you’re wealthy enough you can have an understudy. Got it memorized?†he asked. “So that means Organization XIII is not dead?!†Sora asked. “If I told you, you’d have a heart attack which I wouldn’t mind seeing... but since you are sort of Roxas I shouldn’t.†said Axel. Roxas and Demyx joined the group. “Hey guys...†Roxas began. “Roxas... how?!... what?! I’m confused.†said Sora. “Breathe, breathe.†said Riku. Sora inhaled and exhaled. “Nice job Riku you should be a pregnancy coach.†said Axel. Alterna and Hirop came out, there arms were linked to Alexa. “Alexa these are the people with a backstage pass, Riku and Sora and... Axel.†said Hirop. “Uh... how did...†Riku began. “Your names are on the passes.†said Hirop. “Oh.†said the three. “And you two are those guys we found at the last minute... like 2 in black? I seriously thought you two were Jesse McCartney and some guy with a mullet.†said Alexa, her voice sounded a bit husky, it was probably from singing. “Call me Jesse McCartney then.†said Roxas laughing a bit. “And I’m that guy with a mullet.†said Demyx. “Oh Alterna, get me a drink.†said Alexa. Alterna nodded and walked off. “So what I want to know is what happened to our guitarist.†said Hirop. Roxas, Axel, and Demyx looked at each other. It was a long day; the three were traveling through Spirit Creek then stopped to take a break. Axel was practicing his throwing technique, Demyx was playing his sitar, and Roxas was half asleep. Axel threw his chakarams not aiming right and almost slicing Demyx’s mullet off. “Axel do you know what your doing?†Demyx asked. “Of course.†Axel replied. “Then how come I was almost beheaded?†Demyx asked. “Hm... maybe it was to shut you up. Or the fact that I wasn’t even aiming.†said Axel. “Can you aim?†“Can I aim? Please Demyx, watch this, I can hit that billboard up there without looking.†Axel closed his eyes and faced the billboard; he thought for a second and threw the chakarams. He heard the sound of the chakarams fighting against the winds, and then there was a strange sound of crying, groaning, and a thud. Axel opened his eyes being curious, they widened as he realized what happened. “Oh crap, this is not good.†said Axel. “What did you do?!†Demyx demanded, he stood up and saw he hit a guy. The guy next to him looked over and gasped. He pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number. “He’s calling the police! Run! Run! Run away!†Demyx said. “Demyx shut up! Got it memorized? Now help me wake Roxas up, and let’s get out of here.†said Axel. It took Demyx a minute to calm down. The man put the cellphone away and looked around, he spotted the two. “Hey you guys!†the man began. “Sh*t! Roxas, Roxas wake up buddy.†said Axel shaking his friend some. Roxas wouldn’t move at all. Axel slapped him, he still wouldn’t move. “Roxas wake up! Don’t make me give you 3rd degree burn!†said Axel. “Kiss him!†Demyx said. “What?!†Axel asked. “I saw it in a movie once.†“I’m not kissing him!†“Hey you guys.†the guy said getting closer. “Oh my god Demyx why did you have to bring that up, can I just burn him?!†Axel asked. It was too late the guy was already in contact with them. “Hey... can any of you play the guitar?†he asked running out of breath. Demyx and Axel looked at each other, Roxas managed to wake up yawning. Alterna came back with Alexa’s drink she took it and almost chugged it all. Hirop eyed Alexa shaking her head. “What?†Alexa asked. “That’s not very ladylike.†Hirop mumbled. Alexa rolled her eyes. “Ok, I’m just saying.†said Hirop. “How long is this supposed to last?†Alexa whispered to his assistant. “About 2 hours.†Alterna whispered back. “Great.†Alexa said sarcastically. “Uh... no offense or anything Alexa but is your voice hoarse?†Sora asked. “What? Oh yeah, that always happens after every concert.†Alexa walked over to the couch to sit down. “Ok, what should we do since we have backstage passes?†Riku asked. “Anything you want to, besides breaking into Alexa’s dressing room, she gets sensitive about that stuff... oh and rob a bank because that’s not good.†said Hirop. “Hey can we ask Alexa questions?†Sora asked. “Yeah!†said Demyx. “Ok but nothing personal... because that’ll just take away from the mystery illusion.†said Alterna. “Geez she must have quite a life to keep everything personal a secret.†said Axel. “You know there’s other band members.†said Hirop. “Signing autographs.†said Alterna. Hirop frowned at her friend. “Ok anyway...†Hirop began; she looked around seeing everyone was gone. “If only you were Alexa huh?†Alterna asked. “Oh shut up.†said Hirop. They saw the guys around the couch Alexa was on. “How do you get your hair to stay like that?†Roxas asked. “Is it true you where contacts?†Sora asked. “So Alexa if that is your real name, where do you get your outfits? Huh, is that too personal?†Axel asked. “Why did you look at me like that?!†Riku asked. “Do you like Cheese Danishes?!†Demyx asked. Alexa’s eyes widened as the questions kept on growing and growing, she could barely respond. “Gel! No! Shut the h*ll up! It’s all part of the kind of question is that... and if you must know I prefer apple.†she said a bit aggravated. “Don’t get mad it’s just a question.†said Demyx. And again and again the questions rolled on and on, she was ready to pull her hair out... and so she did. She let out something that sounded like a pig holler. Alterna and Hirop were standing at a distance a bit surprised. “I can’t take it anymore these fans are crazy.†Alexa cried. Alterna stared at the big handful of hair in her hand. “I rather have all my secrets revealed then this!†“No, no, no... Don’t do that. Uh... Alterna get hi... I mean her an ice-cream and me some more aspirin!†said Hirop. Alterna ran off, as the guys stared at Hirop trying to calm the crying celebrity down. Hirop angrily stared at them all. “Have you no shame? You guys are crazy making the lead singer of Cool Blue Cherries cry like this.... security!†she called out. “And that’s how we got kicked out of the best concert ever.†said Sora. He, Riku, Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka were all around the dock listening. “Great story Sora, you just forgot one detail.†said Riku. “What’s that?†Sora asked. “You forgot about your date with Kairi yesterday.†“No I didn’t... that’s ridiculous.†said Sora. “SORA!!!!!!†said a very angry sounding voice. “Ok maybe it’s not that ridiculous.†said Sora beginning to run away. And so they all watched the wild chase, and after five minutes Riku smirked. “Well good job Sora, you met a rockstar, Roxas, and soon Kairi’s fist.†Riku said looking out into the sunset. What Happy ending... well not so much for Sora
