A/N: This is all Jo's fault. But I love her for it. Usually I'd say I'm sorry for such unashamed crack, but I'm really not. Enjoy.

Obsession

Looking back on it, it's not necessarily Olette's fault, nor is it the pop star's.

Looking back on it, it's all that Kau'ai island's fault.

Because somewhere on Kau'ai, Olette wasn't spending her time riding Hawaiian roller coaster rides or learning to hula dance or weaving leis into her hair or spending time with her ohana.

Instead, Olette first saw a picture of the pop star: dreamy blue eyes, messy blond hair, perfect tanned skin.

Somewhere on Kau'ai, Olette first saw, and listened to, Jesse McCartney.

Instead of puka shells and leis, Olette comes home with her arms full of posters, CDs, T-shirts, advertisements, and about ten versions of a letter to her idol. Obsession has swept her away and she shows no signs of breaking it.

Hayner, Pence, and Roxas are all kinds of confused. Sure, the boy is pretty, by girl standards. Sure, he can sing, though he sounds kind of creepy sometimes.

But where does the allure come from?

If they copy him, does this mean more people will like them?

Despite protests, Roxas is the one who looks most like him. But even all the gel in the world cannot tame Roxas' hair.

But looks, they soon realize, are not enough.

So instead they listen to the CDs, which Olette applauds them for.

This proves to be a huge mistake.

Jesse McCartney, Roxas realizes, is nothing more than a boy who wants to do things to girls that can only be called slutty. Hayner dubs him a man-whore. Olette makes a face but Roxas silently agrees, especially when they come to a certain song, appropriately titled Blow Your Mind: She left me on the floor, kept me on my knees just begging for a little more. Room was hot, the fire burning. Never leave me, girl. Show you how to keep it goin'.

Pence comes across something he isn't sure how to react to.

"You know, Roxas," he ventures, "he sounds a lot like you."

Hayner looks like he's about to throw up.

Pence looks like he wants to have someone shoot him.

Olette looks hopefully at Roxas, who is completely speechless.

"You know," Olette says, "he does!"

Roxas tries to say that he doesn't, and even if he did sing he wouldn't sing about getting girls like Jesse does, but he's drowned out by Hayner puking and Pence running away, presumably to shoot himself, and Olette sighing dreamily now that she sees him in a whole new light.
