   One of two, "La Vie Boheme" and "I Should Tell You"
Ok, so after starting one one-shot/song fic, which is so depressing it makes me bleed (it's really good so far though...xD), I needed some humor in my system. Oh, and yush, this is a kind of side fic to my KH already going, except this is kind of an AU of that AU. xDDDDD

Ok, the song is from an AMAZING musical called "RENT". I may also do a song fic to the title song, as I'm already thinking of a great situation for it. xD Anyway! I've got some fun notes for this one:

In "RENT", there's some gay lovin' goin' on. xD So excuse my pairings; I had to do it, otherwise the song wouldn't work. The original pairings are: Roger/Mimi, Maureen/Joanne, Angel/Collins. (The two other characters, Mark and Benny, don't get any. xD Well, not with any other main characters.) My pairings ended up being: Leon/Mikaela (Roger/Mimi), Yuffie/Aerith (Maureen/Joanne), Cloud/Sephiroth (Angel/Collins). (And, for kicks: Sora as Mark, and Riku as Benny. Kairi and Cid are in here too. xDDD) Yes, the characters match up to who the person is in the musical, except for maybe Seph being Collins. *shrugs* Ah well.

Another note: I have made some slight edits here and there to the lyrics, so as to make it match the situation better. Plus, this is technically 3 songs in one fic (La Vie Boheme, I Should Tell You, and La Vie Boheme B). It's the end of the first act, so yeah. x3

I'd better just shut up now, so enjoy loves!

"So, dinner in First?"

"Sounds fine to me." Mikaela turned to the group behind her as she held on to Leon's hand. "Hey, guys? Wanna take a break from running from the cops to catch some dinner?" She grinned as both Aerith and Cloud nodded vigorously as they fought off their lovers.

"Yuffie-"

"Shit Seph! Ow-"

"-stop! Yuffie! Not in-"

"-that hurt's! Seph, not in-"

"-public!"

The others laughed as Sora ran up, holding out the new camcorder he'd gotten earlier that day. "Awesome! I'm getting great footage! I'll be top of the Internet in no time with this stuff! Yuri sells big!"

"Sora!"

Mikaela couldn't help but giggle as Aerith whapped the boy on the back of the head. Hey, at least he was helping to liven up the scene since Yuffie's disasterous concert in Third.

The young ninja had been holding a "poetic protest" in the district, and instead it had caused a full scale riot. Yuffie, however, was extremely pleased. As they had drug her out, before the police could get involved, she'd been gleefully squealing about how Riku, an old "friend" of the group, wouldn't be able to ignore her cause, which so happened to be saving the bit of district in Third for Moggles. Riku, who's father owned the section, wanted to turn it into a dance club and bar; he refused to give in to any of the gang's plees, and was even going so far as the threaten to throw them all out of their apartments, which his father also owned, if they didn't step down. He'd even tried to bribe Sora and Leon into stopping Yuffie's protest, as it was on Christmas Eve, and "interferred with his other plans".

Instead, the gang had supported Yuffie: Leon bringing along Mikaela, his now "officially new" girlfriend, Sora with his camera, Aerith as Yuffie's production manger, Cloud and his "oficially new" boyfriend Sephiroth as moral support, and even Cid, as protection.

Needless to say, the group felt pretty proud of themselves.

Leon walked up to the skinny man at the head of their local favorite, First District's Twilight Cafe. "Hey, excuse me! Can we get a-" He was cut off when the man caught sight of his face, and began to skurry around the cafe, attempting to ignore him.

""No, please no! Not tonight! Please no!" he muttered under his breath, before turning back to Leon a bit. "Mister, can't you go? Not tonight, can't have a scene!"

Leon narrowed his eyes in shock. "What?" Again, he was cut off by the host.

"No, please no! You- hello sir!" he broke off, calling to someone behind the group. Preoccupied, he snarled at Leon, "I said no!", before calling to the back, at his staff, "Im portant customer!"

Sora, who was standing next to Leon, seethed. "What am I, just a blur?"

The host sighed, shaking his head at the group. "You stay all night, you never buy!"

Sora cut in, pointing a finger at the man. "That's a lie! That's a lie! I had a tea the other day-"

"You couldn't pay."

"...oh yeah." He chuckled, before turning away, embarrassed.

Yuffie sighed, before walking past the host, and taking up a seat at a long table a bit of aways into the cafe. "Just sit down guys. It's not like he'll kick us out."

"If I ask, he will."

The group snapped to attention, anger on nearly every face. Sephiroth rolled his eyes, mockingly retorting at their intruder. "Riku Kujiradou, here?" he asked, smirking.

The host saw the exchange, and put his face in his hand, before wandering off. "Oh no!"

To his retreating back, the group called out, "Wine and beer!", before turning back to Riku. Yuffie turned up her nose. "The enemy of Third District, eh?" She laughed. "We'll stay."

From the background, someone, sounding like the host, called out, "Oy vey!"

Sephiroth leaned back in his seat, an arm around Cloud. "Riku. What brings a mogul in his own mind to the Twilight Cafe?"

Riku smirked, raising a wine glass a waiter had brought to him. "I would like to propse a toast. To Yuffie's noble try! It went well."

"Go to hell!"

"Yuffie!"

"Sorry, Aer."

Riku now rolled his eyes at Yuffie's outburst. "Was the yuppie 'scum' stomped? Counting the homeless, how many tickets weren't comp'ed?"

There was silence for a bit, as a few people seethed at the silver-haired boy. Leon attempted to break the tension, though with a hidden smirk, which Mikaela didn't fail to notice as she sat, slightly hidden, next to Leon.

"Why did Muffy-"

"Kairi."

"-miss the show?"

Riku snorted at the childish comment aimed at his girlfriend. "There was a death in the family, if you must know." He drained his wine. At the end of the table, Cloud looked around, a bit guilty.

"Who died?"

Riku narrowed his eyes. "Our Akita-"

"-Evita," Leon, Sora, Cloud, and Sephiroth finished. Leaning over, Leon whispered in Cloud's ear, "I can't believe that woman paid you to get Riku's dog to commit suicide!"

"It was a thousand munny! What would you have done?!"

Riku curled his lip. "Yes." He began walking away, when a flash of black caught his eye, turning back to the table, he was genuinely shocked to find Mikaela sitting among the others. "Mikaela? I'm surprised!" He stepped forward and stood next to her. "a bright and charming girl like you, hangs out with these slackers! Who don't adhere to deals," he added, gaining a rise from everony at the table. He smirked again, a favorite move of his, and pulled away, after running a hand over Mikaela's shoulders, causing her to shudder.

"They make fun, but I'm the one attempting to do some good! Or do you really want a neighborhood where Moggles piss on your stoop every night?" Another collective rise in emotion, as Mikaela had to prevent Leon from standing, and Aerith had to slap a hand over Yuffie's mouth to prevent to onscenities.

Riku walked over to a table at the back of the room, laughing at the group of people he once called friends. "Bohemia, bohemia's a fallacy in your head! This is Calcutta!" He gave them one last glance before sitting down, a few of his business partners also pulling up seats. "Bohemia is dead."
