A/N: Um...Hi. Yeah, I'm taking a lot of liberties with this fic, but I think it's cute. So...um, I hope you like it. And I usually go in order for this prompt -- I actually have #9 halfway done. So...yeah. :D
“I still can’t believe Axel - Axel! - is coming to Twilight Town for a concert!” Olette grinned as she waved the tickets in front of the boys’ faces. Both Pence and Hayner glanced up at her as Roxas kept his eyes on the chessboard - Pence certainly was a skilled player, and he needed all the help he could get.
“Axel?” Hayner echoed, rolling his eyes. “That wannabe boy band singer who does his girly love songs and women swoon over him? That Axel?”
Olette’s smile fell. “Hey, it works!” She waved a magazine in Hayner’s face, which he took from her hands. “Apparently he’s just broken up with his long-time girlfriend, and he’s coming here, his hometown, in hopes that a concert will cheer his broken heart.”
“Doesn’t seem like such a bad idea,” Pence commented, taking the magazine out of Hayner’s hands before Hayner could destroy it. Clearing his throat, he began to read aloud. “‘Axel has just currently broken up with his long time girlfriend, Larxene, after she attempted to hurt the pop singer by shoving him into the pool of their shared apartment while he slept. A quick surveillance showed this reported that she had also hooked up many electronic items - such as their high tech toaster - into the pool, in hopes to electrocute him. Axel is alive and well, but Larxene cannot be arrested due to the fact that no one can really determine if it was her or not.’ …Seems like famous people have it easy, huh?”
“Pence?” Roxas finally looked up from the chess game - from the way Pence had it lain out, there would be no hope for him to win - and narrowed his eyes. “Are we going to finish or should we just stop?”
Pence gave Roxas a grin. “Just say you give up, and sure, we can end it.”
“Guys!” Olette exclaimed, shaking Hayner’s shoulders. “Apparently if Axel deems you good looking enough at this concert, he will go on a date with you, so says the magazine!”
Much to her disappointment, no one moved. Actually, Hayner gave an involuntary shudder, but other than that, no movement.
Olette frowned; forcing them to go might be tougher than she thought. “Did I mention that this lucky person gets a tour of other worlds in his exclusive Gummi Ship?” she added with a wider grin.
…Again, no movement.
She narrowed her eyes and let out a sigh. “And the person gets 20,000 munny in cash if they win.”
The chess game lay forgotten as the three of them leapt up, begging for a hand at those tickets. Olette gave a small grin.

Roxas looked around the beach, shaking his head. There were easily a couple of hundred teens - mostly female - clambering around and talking with each other as if trying to prove to others that they would win Axel.
“He is so good looking… I swear!” one girl squealed, shaking her head in excitement.
Another nodded, and a third flipped her hair. “Once he glances in my direction, it’s all over, ladies. He’ll be mine.” There was a large amount of bickering that came after this statement.
“I dunno…” a fourth girl murmured to herself as she sat in a corner alone. “He’s not all that good looking. I’m only hoping to get an autograph to sell on Ebay.”
That girl was promptly maimed by the rest of Axel’s fangirls and was never heard from again. Rest her soul.
Roxas gave a gulp before glancing back to Olette. “Um, Olette, did you forget to mention how large this concert would be?”
She rolled her eyes. “Roxas, seriously. Axel’s pretty famous and it’s a pretty cheap concert. I didn’t think any of us would actually win a prize at all.”
Overhearing their conversation, Hayner’s jaw dropped in horror. “But…but… why did we come then?!” he exclaimed, reaching up to tear his hair out.
Olette gave him a smile. “Ah, well, I didn’t want to be here alone!” Hayner gave a groan and crouched to the ground. “Oh…you guys. I’ll buy you ice cream when it’s all done.”
“You’ll need a lot more than ice cream to make up for this,” Hayner muttered, as Pence poked Roxas’s side.
“Look, all we have to do is suffer through some boyish pop music for about…four hours,” Pence shrugged with a grin.
Roxas only sighed and put his head in his hands. “Pence...four hours? Of Axel whining to the girls how he needs a love?”
Pence smirked before tapping his pocket. “Exactly. Four hours of Axel whining… but four hours of us playing DS.” He pulled a red game system out of his pocket and handed it to Roxas before pulling out a handful of games. “So, what do you want to play?”
Roxas gave Pence a grin before selecting a game.
--
Roxas wouldn’t call Axel’s singing whining, per say, but it was grating on the edge of his nerves. Olette was grinning widely up to the concert, while Hayner scowled up to Axel onto the stage. Roxas was currently stuck on a boss battle, and for the love of everything, the stupid fiend wouldn’t die.
“Hey, Pence, would you help me?” he whispered, although doing so made no difference. One could not hear a person talking in this loud area unless they were attempting to shout their lungs out.
Before Pence could turn around and shout “WHAT?” in attempts of getting Roxas to repeat what he asked, an annoying, booming beat came over the speakers. The boys all groaned and lowered their heads in their hands as Olette gave a grin. “Ohh… he’s going to sing that song, is he?”
In case one didn’t know, that song was known as “Supernova Girl,” in which Axel was doing a cover version from some hack somewhere that no one really remembered. The song had been played over every radio in Twilight Town for the past couple of months, and if one did not recognize the annoyingly booming bass of the song, they must have been insane.
Anyway.
Axel grinned to the audience, and began belting out lyrics about loving someone from the end of time, and in the universe, and how “there was no gravity between us, our love is automatic!” Ugh - it was enough to give Roxas a full blown headache. In combination with that, he was getting hungry. He scowled over to Olette. He still couldn’t believe that she had coerced them into this stupid concert gig - especially since it was obvious that Axel wouldn’t pay any of them.
Standing up, Roxas attempted to move past the clusters of people screaming at Axel, much to their annoyance. Suddenly, like a lightening bolt, he stopped and turned to face the stage. Axel was staring at him, his eyes suddenly looking star struck like he’d seen the best looking person in the world. Roxas blinked before glancing around a few times - oh, Axel wasn’t looking at him. He was staring at that girl who’d said that Axel would fall for her at first glance. Figures.
“There goes my 20,000 munny…” he scowled, kicking a bit of the sand before heading over to the pretzel shop and ordering a pretzel. When the shop owner began staring at Roxas, he blinked before turning back to the stage. …Axel was staring at him again as he continued singing about his “Supernova girl.” Roxas turned to his left and noted another girl staring at the stage in love. Ah, of course - Axel was staring at her.
He headed back to his seat, half wondering why every girl (and guy) he passed was glaring at him like they wanted to detach his head from his body. I mean, sure, these are really good pretzels, but anyone can buy one! he reasoned with himself, shaking his head.
Finally getting back to his seat, he flopped down and turned to Pence to tell him about all the people staring. …Except the three of them were staring at him as well. “Um, guys?” Roxas blinked before offering some of his food. “What’s up?”
“Did you see who Axel was looking at?” Pence asked, automatically ripping off a chunk of the pretzel. Roxas shrugged and bit into his food - mmm…good.
“Nope,” he finally said. “Why? Are they already giving out the prizes?”
There was a tap on his shoulder and he glanced up, seeing a guy fully dressed in black staring down. “Kid, you’re needed in the dressing room. Come on.”
Before Roxas could protest (or finish his pretzel), the guy hauled him to his feet and dragged him off, strangely, to where Axel’s dressing room was. Pence grabbed the pretzel before it hit the ground and the remaining three quickly ran off behind their currently being kidnapped friend.
--
“Let me go!” Roxas exclaimed, attempting to punch the kidnapper. The guy winced, but his grip held strong. Finally, Roxas narrowed his eyes and sunk his teeth into the guy’s arm.
“Yewoch!” the guy shouted, dropping Roxas like a hot potato and jumping away. “Yeesh kid, you’re going to meet Axel, and this is how you treat me?”
Roxas blinked in confusion, as Pence, Hayner, and Olette came from behind. “Hey you! Let him go or you deal with us!” Hayner shouted, raising his fists. Finally, something exciting about this boring concert!
The guy rolled his eyes. “Look, this kid...” he gestured to Roxas, who snatched the pretzel out of Pence’s grip, “...Won the chance to meet Axel. And my name isn’t ‘you’; it’s Demyx,” Demyx muttered, shaking his head and nursing his wounded arm.
“Is that kid here yet?” a voice that sounded mysteriously like Axel’s asked, as aforementioned person arrived. Axel looked out of breath as he surveyed what was going on, before approaching Roxas with a grin. “Hey.”
Roxas glanced up, in which Pence took the opportunity to eat the pretzel. “Um, hi. Did I really win?”
Axel blinked before glancing to Demyx, who gave a shrug. “If you call me falling completely in love with you ‘winning,’ then sure, you’ve won.”
Roxas furrowed his eyebrows. “But…I thought the winner won 20,000 munny…?”
Letting out a short laugh, Axel patted Roxas’s shoulder. “I don’t know who told you that lie, but that’s all it is - a lie.”
Hayner, Pence, and Roxas all turned to face Olette, who gave the boys a wide grin. “I promise - ice cream is on me!” she laughed, as Hayner began slamming his head against the nearest wall.
Shaking his head, Roxas turned back to Axel, who was still staring at him like a prize. Err… this could be weird, but then again, not many people had a famous singer who fell in love with them. Maybe he could use this to his advantage. “Hey, after the concert…”
“Wanna get something to eat?” Axel asked, as though finishing Roxas’s thought. “Don’t worry, I’ll invite your friends too.” He nodded in Hayner’s direction, seeing as the tricked teen was still hitting his head against the wall.
“Sure. That would be cool.” Roxas gave Axel a smile. Even if this random boy band singer was going to stalk him, perhaps he could make a friend out of it instead…?
“Question!” Pence asked, butting in between the two of them. “If you’re apparently so infatuated with Roxas, why did you keep singing about your …err…”
Olette grinned and chimed in. “Supernova girl, if Roxas is a guy?”
Axel coughed and glanced away. The three of them were staring at him in confusion as Demyx handed Hayner an ice pack for his growing headache. “Erm …” Axel began, embarrassment flooding his face. “From where I was standing, I thought he was a girl.”
Confused, indeed. Roxas’s eyes narrowed, and Pence burst out laughing.
Perhaps this not the start of love, but it certainly the strangest beginning of a friendship that he’d ever seen.
