"Olette!" I shouted as Olette shoved clothing at me. I picked up the familiar pink dress that I originally bought for my first date with Sora.

"Hurry Kairi! Every ones coming at 5! Its... 4:47! We still need to do your hair." She said to me. I threw on the dress, once Olette turned around to face the wall.

"So, I assume this was all your idea?" I asked, as she got out a bag of makeup.

"Well, with help from Roxas. Sora was in on it though. We just thought, you couldn't have the prom you have always wanted. So, we made one for you, but only with our friends." She said. When I walked up to the house it was decorated like the dance hall our school had rented out. Olette and Roxas had made an almost exact copy of the prom, since it was ruined. How sweet were they?

"Thank you so much Olette! So who is coming?" I asked. I was really happy about this. It was the nicest thing ever. A surprise prom? I would have never thought of it!

"Well; you and Sora, Roxas and I, Namine and Riku, that boy Pense and his girlfriend Xion, and that girl from math Larxene is coming with her boyfriend Zexion. Them, and a few more people from school. But don`t worry, I made sure not to invite Selphie, Yuna, Paine, or Rikku." She said. This night sounded like fun. I hurried up to get dressed so I could join in. People would start arriving soon.

-----

I heard the front door opening and closing.

"Olette there here! People are here! Common lets go!" I said, as Olette put in and orange stud earring.

I grabbed her arm as we ran down the stairs, more people had came in than I thought. About 6 people from school that I had never talked to were here, along with Riku, Namine, Roxas, and Sora. I walked down the stairs and Sora smiled at me. I tryed to look better than at the original prom, caving in and putting on some eye makeup.

Once we got to the bottom of the stairs, everyone was looking at us. Some girls looked sad for me, some looked jealous. Some guys were checking out Olette and I, so I guess we did look good. Sora looked up at my with his bright, sky blue eys, and grinned. His face lit up the room.

After a while of mingling with people, everyone had arrived. So, Roxas decided to dj the party, and started to play some music. He played on of my favorite songs, Turn it up, by steros, and we all started dancing. It was a very good time, dancing along with people I loved, not a care in the world. It took all the pressure off from what had happened.

After a long time of laughing, dancing, talking, and joking around, Roxas decided to push my buttons. He played the song, I don't wanna miss a thing. It kind of hurt to hear it, since all I could think of was Sora collapsing in my arms. Suddenly, I felt someone tap my shoulder, I turned around to see Sora, holding out his hand.

"Would you like to dance?" He asked me. I couldn't decide if this was romantic or not.

"I guess so." I said. I took his hand, and he held my waist with the other. I held his shoulder. We danced slowly, to the beat of the music, and I placed my head on his chest. He bent down his head to kiss my forehead a few times.

As the song got to the part, Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating, Sora sang along with it. He sang quietly, so only I could hear. I started to cry. Everything I had been blocking in my head had pushed through, rushing in at once. Sora singing, collapsing. Leaving, heart attack. Sleeping, surgory. Everything I had forced myself not to think of came back, and tears were rushing down my face. Heart. Feeling your heart beating, I had to. To know it wouldn't happen again, I listened to his heart beat.

I pushed my ear against his chest and listened. His heart made a clear noise, ba-boom ba-boom.Over and over again. I realized, it was the mos comforting sound on earth. To hear his heart beat, and know he was alright, made everything better. All the troubles and thoughts in my head flew away, and I smiled. Sora may have to go trough this, but he didn't have to do it alone. I would always be there for him.

"Sora, I was really worried when you were hurt. I thought you... wouldn't make it. I know you only have a certain time, until you are either cured, or you... die. But, I want you to know that no matter what, I will always be there for you. I love you." I said to him, with a single tear falling down my face. I knew I shouldn't have put on eye makeup.

"I love you too Kairi, more than anything. You have no reason to worry, my heart will be fine. Because the world isn't cruel enough to kill me now that I have you. Your the Key to my Heart Kairi, remember?" He said. I cried more, a mixture of happiness, love, and depression flew though me.

I spent the rest of the time in happiness. Trying to forget the bad, and have a good time. I enjoyed the feeling of hugging him. I pushed every thought out of head and felt his warm arms wrapped around me. Once the song was over, Tik Tok came on next. Olette, Namine, and I started dancing, jumping around, and having a great time. A big group of girls joined us. I looked around and saw Xion, Larxene, Alice, Yuffie, and so many others dancing with us. It was a really great time.

Through the rest of the night I talked to so many people, I opened up, let people see who I was. I danced with Sora a lot, and my sister. Roxas even got a break to dance with Olette when Riku took over the DJ booth. Everyone was having a great time. At the end of the night, the prom committees captain, who had been invited by Sora, took the microphone.

"Hello everyone! I hope your having fun at the after-prom prom!" She said. All 50ish teenagers screamed and yelled.

"I'm glad to hear your all excited! But, it's time to announce the prom King and Queen! Would the nominees for prom queen please come over to the DJ booth! Yuffie, Olette, Aqua, Olette, and Kairi!" She said. I was very surprised to hear this, nobody had told me there would be prom king and queen, let alone I was in the running's. I walked towards the DJ booth and lights were shining in my eyes. Olette stood beside me. Yuffie was wearing a short black halter dress. Aqua had a long blue V neck dress. Olette was wearing her orange dress from the first prom, they all looked amazing.

"Wow girls! You all look great! Now lets get the kings up here! Can we have Riku, Axel, Ventus, Sora, and Leon!" She said. I saw all the guys stand in a line like the girls.

"Now for what you have all been waiting for!" She opened a small white envelope, "Your prom Queen, is Kairi! The new girl at our school is our prom queen!" She said happily. This was a big surprise for me. I had not been expecting to win. I walked over to the front of the floor we had, and everyone was looking at me. I smiled at them, very happy to have this surprise.

"Now for the King! At the beginning of the night, everybody voted!" She said, Sora must have distracted me from the voting, as a surprise, "and your chosen prom King is... Leon!" She said with enthusiasm. Sora shrugged. I was defiantly shocked at what had happened. Leon came and stood beside me. Another student from the prom committee came with crowns, and went to put them on our heads. Before he could, Leon grabbed a microphone from the announcers hand.

"Hey everybody. I'm very happy that you voted for me to be your prom king. It's a big honor. But, I'm not the right man for this job. Kairi is th queen, so we should let Sora be the king. I mean, we all know hes her king." He said. How sweet of him, every student was quiet for a while, and I wondered if they were upset, then all of a sudden they started clapping. Soon everyone was cheering and clapping, Sora came up to were Leon was, shook his hand and took his place.

The other student with the crowns placed the small, plastic Tiara on my head, and a larger crown on Soras. This was like a fairy tale all over again.

"Okay well, this is a twist! Your new prom king is Sora! Now its time for the King a queen to share a dance." Said the announcer.

Sora took my waist, and I took his shoulders. It felt natural after so many times. Roxas played the song, The Reason by Hoobastank. I felt like that was the perfect song right now. He held me close to his body, and moved swiftly, back and forth. When I was a little girl I always told myself I would find the perfect guy once I got older. We would dance, and he would be so romantic. Once I got into high school, I knew that guy didn't exist. Until I met Sora.

I looked around and a few other couples were dancing. Sora bent down to whisper in my ear.

"So, how was prom?" He asked.

"Just perfect." I said.

"That's great. I'm very happy to hear that, want to stay at my here tonight? Roxas will be at Olettes and my parents are at some party." He asked.

"I'd love that." I said.

-----

Once the prom was over, everyone left. Roxas went to Olettes, and after a while of cleaning up, the house was back to normal. We decided to sit on the lie on the couch and watch some TV.

"So, you got to be prom king. It was very nice of Leon to do that, but he didn't have to. You would be my king no matter who wore a crown." I said to him. He kissed my forehead.

"Thank you. You really are a queen though, the queen of my heart." He said.

-----

We spent the rest of the night enjoying being with each other. We watched some movies, and got to bed early. I got to wear Soras clothes again, and they were just as comfortable. I slept like a baby, with Soras arms around me it was hard not to. I woke up the next morning and thought about the prom. I felt like I was in a fairytale. I was Cinderella, at the ball. Sora was my prince. This time, my carriage didn't turn back into a pumpkin. But, if I didn't do anything about it, my time would eventually run out.
