บท 10: 9. Performance.
=============
=Twilight Town=
=============
Axel, Xion and Roxas were currently hanging out with the Twilight Town Trio who are Hayner, Pence and Olette, they were going around town.. Though they were all a little bit bored as there wasn't much to do lately..
The silence of the group was suddenly broken, "Maybe, we should actually go to the beach soon?" Pence suggested, making the others perk up a little bit, Pence was a slightly chubby teen, he was also quite a geek in his own way and quite cheerful.
"Yeah.. We should all definitely go! Maybe, we can invite the others as well!" Axel suggested with a grin.
Everyone nodded, suddenly a girl approached their group looking excited, "Hey Olette! Here's a flyer! There's a performance today! Maybe you can come with all your friends." She asked as she shyly looked at all the boys of the group.
Olette perked up instantly, "Oh! Thanks! Who's performing though? Please, don't tell me it's Seifer again?" Olette cringed slightly at the thought, remembering the last time.
Olette is the only girl, (besides Xion) of the Twilight Town trio, she has brown long hair and a upbeat personality, while she also kept the boys of the group in line, and was usually the voice of reason to keep them 'mostly' out of trouble.
The girl smiled wryly at first, but then smiled suddenly, "Nope! Luckily, it's someone else this time! It's apparently a band of brothers here on vacation! I heard him sing a song at the store earlier. He was actually really great, and he looked pretty cute. Oh, and he's kind of dressed like you and your friends, he has black hair though just like Xion and the most beautiful red eyes, i have ever seen.. Oh, oops, gotta go back to work! Talk to you soon!" The girl said as she quickly ran off.
Everyone turned quiet all of a sudden making Hayner, Pence and Olette confused.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why so quiet all of a sudden?" Hayner asked, Hayner is pretty much the opposite of Olette being a troublemaker and always having a rash, blunt attitude.
"You know.. Those features.. They kinda sound familiar.." Roxas said, thinking about a particular person who fits some of that description.
"Yeah.. Now that you mention it.." Axel said, thinking the same thing.
"Come on guys! Who are you talking about?" Olette asked with curiosity and some anticipation.
"Hmm.. It kinda reminds me of Leo.. He fits the description." Xion said after thinking about it slightly as well.
The Twilight Trio were confused, "Huh, who's Leo? I don't think, i've heard you guys talk about him before." Pence replied a bit confused.
"Eh? Ah! Leo is a awesome new friend of ours that we met a few weeks ago, he's a pretty friendly guy who's also has skills like a ninja! Also like us, he can wield the Keyblade, which looks like a Shuriken." Axel said, as did some ninja movements with his hands trying to copy Leo.
The trio looked surprised and their eyes glowed with stars of excitement.
"A ninja! That's awesome! Let's Go! Go! Go! We're bored here, only aimlessly walking around here anyway!" Hayner shouted!
He quickly walked off dragging Roxas together with him.
"I think what Hayner meant to say was -We should go support your new friend together and enjoy the show!-" Olette said.
Olette was feeling slightly exhausted by Hayners antics.
Everyone laughed, Axel and Pence then ran after Roxas and Hayner, while Xion and Olette talked about Leo some more, while walking together calmly.
___
Leo had set everything up for the show, he had arrived thirty minutes early.
He had greeted the manager who looked excited to see them.
Leo asked to see the instruments, so he carefully set up the instruments to his own needs and then gave a signal he was ready whenever.
___
Quite a crowd had gathered already, it was mostly made up of curious women, girls or couples..
The manager got on stage and did the intro for his store and merchandise, before he finally got to the point and introduced his group, "And now.. I'd like to present to you! FLEETING DREAMS!"
Everyone started clapping loudly, Leo and his clones ran up to their instruments and waved.
"Thank you everyone! Me and my brothers hope you all enjoy the show! Alright! 3, 2, 1.. Kick it!" Leo shouted.
___
Suddenly a jazzy like rhythm started slowly picking up..
Leo himself was doing the vocals with a guitar in his hands, his clones were playing on drums, saxophone and a keyboard respectively.
Everyone was staring in awe as Leo played and sang his songs.
Leo first played all the Kingdom Hearts songs he knew again.. But, he also wanted too play, a few of his personal favorite covers from the Persona series he liked, for example "Affection" and "Snowflakes".. Leo also saw his friends looking at him from the side, he gave them a wave and a big smile.
The crowd and his friends started cheering more and more after every song.. Until he was playing for almost an hour already.
__
Feeling quite tired, Leo thought it should be enough, and to end it with this.
*Huff* "Alright everyone! That's all from us for today! Be sure to let your beloved friends, family and lovers know how much you care for them, and continue to cherish them dearly.." Leo said, as he suddenly created a smokescreen and vanished into thin air leaving only the instruments on stage.
This made the crowd even more excited, while all the friends, lovers and the family folks of Twilight who eventually came together to the show, look at each other with a warm cozy and effectionate feelings.
____
While Leo was just starting the show.
Roxas, Hayner and the others finally arrived, they all looked in awe as they listened to the music.
"That's Leo alright!" Axel said as he crossed his arms with a grin.
"Wow! He's amazing!" Pence said as he looked in excitement, Hayner nodded while Roxas smiled.
""Yeah.."" The girls said together with a dreamy look in their eyes.
Leo then noticed them, and send a wave with a bright smile towards them.
"Look! He noticed us!" Roxas said as they all waved and cheered for him.
After the show and after Leo disappeared in a flash..
"Huh?! Hey.. Where'd he go?!" Hayner asked loudly in confusion.
Everyone just shook their heads as if saying that they had no clue.
"That sure was a great show though!" Olette said as she excitingly started humming her favorite song of the show.
The others joined and started walking together towards their favorite spot in town.
___
Leo himself was now resting, relaxing and sitting on the edge of the Clock Tower in town.
He was looking at the famous sunset, when suddenly he heard a few people coming towards his direction making him smile.
'They finally made it here..' Leo thought happily.
All his friends were still talking to each other happily about the show, until they suddenly noticed him sitting there.
"Hey guys! How's it going? Hope you all enjoyed the show earlier." Leo said with a smile.
""LEO!!!"" His friends said as they tackled him together with a grin.
Luckily they held back or else they could have fallen down the building.
"Easy guys! I'm totally exhausted right now!" Leo said currently unable to resist them.
They all laughed together, when Roxas introduced the other trio.
"Leo these are our friends from Twilight Town, Hayner, Pence and Olette." Roxas said happily as he introduced them.
Leo nodded as walked along the the edge of tower using chakra towards them and shook their hands, "Hey there! I'm Leo.. Nice to meet you guys!" He said with a big smile.
""WOW!"" They all said in awe.
"You really are a ninja!?" Pence said in shock.
"That's so awesome!" Hayner said with a glint in his eyes, "Show us some more cool stuff!" He asked with anticipation.
Leo nodded and he used Transformation Technique to transform into Pence, Hayner and also Roxas, everyone clapped seeing this.
Leo pretended to be Ventus making everyone laugh, even Roxas laughed as he was starting to get used to it already.
They all decided to go back down and have some ice-cream together.
"You can turn into other boys.. Can you also turn into girls?" Pence asked curiously as they walked.
Leo nodded and turned into Xion and then into Olette.
"No way you're currently fully a girl!" Hayner said in disbelief as he carefully looked.
Leo smirked, he then made a seductive pose before him and in Olette's voice said.
"Oh, really? Then, why don't you come over here and check? Hmm, big boy!" He said as he winked and slightly started to slide down his shirt.
Everyone started blushing madly at Leo's antics, "N-N-No thank you!" Hayner said as he ran away and hid behind Axel with a red blushing face.
Leo laughed loudly as he turned back, "Then next time, be careful what you ask for.." He said as he smirked slightly.
Hayner was then reprimanded by Olette for the next ten minutes. She also wanted to reprimand Leo, but Olette kept blushing as she looked him in the eyes, so Hayner just got the brunt of it.
"Alright.. Then, I'll show you guys one more transformation i have left for you.." Leo said with a slightly evil and cheeky grin.
He suddenly transformed and standing there was a spikey silver haired tall tanned man.
Everyone froze in fear when they saw him, "Wielders of the Keyblade.. Go forth.. And collect me, more hearts.." Leo said with a dark deep gruff voice.
Axel, Roxas and Xion in total shock instantly drew all their Keyblades, "W-Wait! Woah! It's just me guys!" Leo said as transformed back into himself, he saw that his friends were about to get aggressive.
Everyone looked confused for a moment, before they realized again that Leo was showing off his Ninja abilities.
"God man! You gave me a heart attack!" Pence said holding his chest in relief.
"Sorry guys.. I only tried to gave you a slight scare, i didn't expect you to have such a reaction.." Leo said as he slightly bowed apologetic.
Suddenly Xion, Roxas and Axel hugged him slightly in tears shocking him.
"God! I'm so glad you are still you!" Axel said.
While Roxas and Xion just sniffed loudly, *Sniff* "Xehanort, had the ability to take over the bodies of others-" *Sniff* "So for a second, we suddenly thought that we actually lost you to him.." Xion said while wiping away her tears.
"I-I-I just didn't think about that.. I am so, so sorry you guys! I promise you all, that i won't do it ever again.." Leo hugged them back and promised.
They stayed that way for a moment, everyone needed to calm down for now, the other trio also teared up slightly looking at them like this.
Afterwards Leo really got reprimanded for his pranks, and he offered them to pay for a meal at a restaurant as an apology.
Leo took them to the clothing store first, so he could get his payment.
Leo greeted the manager, who was busy still checking out some customers together with his staff. The manager then thanked him happily for his amazing performance as it was a big success.
Leo got paid properly and was even offered a job.
Leo though promptly, but politely declined it however, his friends started chuckling seeing Leo's awkward situation as the manager tried to plea for him to change his mind, while also trying to hug him, was hilarious.
The manager luckily.. Eventually gave up, he sighed slightly, "Leo dear, your customized merchandise will be available in a few.."
Leo agreed before quickly leaving again, waving at all the girls looking at him.
The gang had a really nice dinner together , the manager of the restaurant recognized him and Olette. He then offered them nicest table available, and a big discount as a thank you from him, and also his wife who had fun at the show earlier, everyone finished it up with a nice dessert.
"That was great!" Roxas said as he patted his full stomach.
Everyone happily agreed, "You should prank us more often! Especially if we can eat such a nice dinner every time.." Hayner let out as he felt satisfied.
Everyone however glared at him in annoyance, prompting him to shut his mouth fast.
"What Hayner was actually trying to say was.. Thank you for the nice meal!" Olette said slightly angered, but just too tired right now for another reprimand.
Everyone was nodding happily.
Looking at the time, it was getting quite late now, and as it was starting to get dark.
Leo then said goodbye to everyone after he paid and they went their separate ways again..
Leo smiled, he was happy how his day went, 'Today was a great day! And it feels great not to feel alone anymore..' He reminisced as he hummed a tune.
