Hello! Welcome to...well, this page! *confetti is thrown and balloons are released from a net hooked to the ceiling* This kinda came out of the blue. I felt like writing something fun. All my other fics are kinda...I wanna say serious, but that's not the word. Anyways, this fic is a lot more carefree than the others. As you are reading this, take into consideration the author's dear wish for you.

Please have fun. :) No one likes fun wreckers. Now, there's also something you could all do for me. Ready? (no, it's not going to say 'please review.' That never works, I've found out)

If you don't like this story, click that back button in the left corner of your screen and go find something else! There's a lot of great awesome writers out there whose work is rarely read and stuff. You might like their stories too. So please, don't waste your time reading this if you don't like it.

Oh, and if you've been on for more than 3 hours, GO OUTSIDE! Go outside and do something! You're stealing precious oxygen from the dust bunnies under your desk, bed, or wherever you're reading this from. They need air too! It keeps them fluffy. :3 And trust me, no one likes unfluffy dust bunnies.

That concludes my author note. Did any of you read it?

The best thing Riku could think to do at this moment of anger, was disappear into a portal and go to the safe, very safe, haven of nothingness. It wasn't a normal thing he did, only when Sora and he would get into this heated of an argument would he run away. He wasn't a coward, no, but he had to run away. He had to. He didn't want Sora to get hurt and Riku would never be able to say for sure that he would be fine if his temper were to ever escalate into something dangerous. It had before, and look what happened. He'd destroyed part of a wall in Twilight Town. Thankfully, he didn't hurt Sora who happened to be right beside him. If only he could truly get away. That was all he really wanted, right? No, no that wasn't it. Riku promised Sora that he'd stay with him and keep him safe. Thing was, he wasn't sure he wanted to anymore.

But, Riku was a loyal friend and he was determined to keep his promise. After just sitting in darkness for what seemed like forever, Riku stood up and summoned another portal to Destiny Islands where Sora was probably anxiously awaiting his return. Riku wasn't sure if Sora really was waiting for him though. He had made him pretty mad and Sora just overreacted to Riku's anger and made him even more angry. That was when he fled. By the time he was walking away, Sora was running down the beach, tears flooding his eyes.

It pained Riku to see him like that, really it did. Riku didn't like to see his best friend upset, but maybe they weren't friends anymore? Riku felt sad at the thought. Strangely though, he felt relieved at that thought too. Sora was very controlling and he was always ordering Riku around. Riku figured he deserved it since he was the one who plunged their hometown into Darkness, but after a few months after everything, Sora was still the same. It wasn't normal, but no one is the judge of what is normal. That was when all the arguments started. They'd always be about something that wasn't even a problem.

Riku stared out along the beach looking for his friend. No one was there, obviously. It was completely dark out. Riku felt a little strange then. Normally, Sora would always be there to apologize and give his best friend a hug while saying he'd never do overreact or make him angry again. (That promise was always broken the next day, of course.) But this time...he wasn't.

"Sora, where'd you go...?" Riku stared out past the horizon. It was hours before he moved from his seat on the sand. He had to leave here. He wasn't tied down to anyone any longer and he felt so.. So free.

He turned around to look all around the island. He had a lot of great memories here. And bad ones. Strangely though, whenever he thought about all the good memories, it made him smile. That was the reason he stayed. But, right now, Riku knew he didn't have a place there anymore. Without a goodbye, Riku vanished into a portal, hopefully, never to be seen by Sora or Kairi again.

"Vexen! Vexen! Darling Vexen! I need you!" The Chilly Academic sighed at Marluxia's beckoning sing-song voice. He gingerly set down a nice shiny vile of Methylchloroisothiazolinone that he was about to mix in with some magnesium sulfate, just to see what would happen. As he was taking off his safety goggles, Marluxia burst into the room, causing Vexen to loose his footing and the goggles slipped out of his hand only to fling themselves into a shelf full of potions, ethers, and whatnot.

Vexen stared at the various chemicals running like a waterfall down the shelf and counter to form a pool on the floor. He turned to the frozen Marluxia to glare at him. Those were expensive!

"Marluxia." Vexen growled out. For not having a heart to feel emotions with, he sure seemed pretty angry. The man in question laughed nervously a little then slowly backed out the door and ran out, not wanting to face consequences. Sure, he was the leader of Castle Oblivion which meant he was a lot stronger than most, but Vexen was always a lot stronger when he had a motive to be so. This time his precious chemicals were ruined and that was sure to be motive enough.

Vexen continued to glare at the mess on the floor after shutting the steel door tightly. After realized that it wasn't really Marluxia's fault that they were ruined, he huffed and walked over to a cabinet near a very pointless very small window (seeing as everything here was underground) to get some cleaning supplies. No sense in having a mess right where he would be working. Not to mention the smell was horrid. The scritch scratching noise that had been bothering him from earlier had Vexen staring out at the brown of the window.

Back over to where the mess was, a very small Heartless was messing around with the chemical Vexen was messing with earlier. The Heartless, which will now be called Jerry, pried at the cork holding the chemical inside the glass confinement. Frustrated, Jerry pulled with all his little might to get the cork out. He wanted to know what was in it and darn him to Oblivion if he didn't find out!

Jerry took a step back and slipped on the pool of chemicals, falling to the ground. But the cork was out! Jerry quickly scampered back up to his feet. He stared in the bottle at a clear looking chemical that smelled oddly of lavender. Like shampoo! (but poor little Jerry wouldn't know that because Heartless don't take showers) Finding the finding kinda boring, Jerry dropped it to the ground and scampered away to join his other Heartless buddies in the shadows. The Methylchloroisothiazolinone started leaking out of the bottle to join with the other chemicals and bond with the other atoms. (All that physical science stuff no one cares about) It started smoking and bubbling up. A chemical reaction!

Jerry, smelling smoke, emerged from the shadows to gape and gasp at what was happening. He stood there watching the differently colored chemicals take the form of a blob monster and then suddenly burst into flames. Jerry gave a loud screech and disappeared into the shadows, making sure never to come back again.

Vexen now with safety goggles on so he could clean, only a couple feet away, turned around at Jerry's screech, mop in hand. His eyes widened at the monstrosity that was suddenly producing a blue gas. Before he could even think about what to do, it blew up.

The explosion was so great it sent Vexen through the pointless window (and the wall) behind him and into a…tunnel?

When Vexen opened his eyes, he was greeted, not by dirt, but by the very surprised green eyes of Demyx. Demyx, a jar of lightning bug Heartless tied around his waist, and a spoon. A plastic spoon. In Demyx's pocket, there were many more plastic spoons. Some broken, some ready to be used.

Laughing nervously a little, Demyx greeted him by waving. "Hey Vexen, what's up?"

Vexen blinked a little, the aftershock settling in the pit of his stomach. "Why are you fifteen feet underground and have a spoon in your hand?"

Demyx, completely unaware at how weird a situation this really was, smiled. "I'm digging a tunnel." Vexen peered past him and there was, indeed, a very long tunnel. It was lit up by little jars of lightning bug Heartless who looked happy to be of use.

"With a spoon." Vexen said blandly. Demyx nodded and grinned again.

"Yup. With a spoon."

"Why?!" Vexen couldn't wrap his mind around it. Why would Demyx be digging a tunnel fifteen feet underground for no apparent reason? It just didn't make sense. His head hurt too. 'Advil,' he thought. 'I need Advil.'

"I dunno. I felt like it." Demyx shrugged and started digging again. Vexen, a little more than creeped out, crawled out of the tunnel, grabbing a blanket nearby and covering up the Vexen shaped hole in the wall. He froze it in place, just so Demyx wouldn't be able to randomly stop by. That would be a nuisance.

And right as he was relaxed in a chair, Advil taking effect and dulling the throbbing pain throughout his body, the large steel door swung open and Marluxia stepped through, smiling like an idiot and carrying what looked to be a dead body.

"Vexen, darling! Be a dear and revive this poor soul! I found him passed out in the realms of Darkness while I was browsing through worlds. It certainly gave me a fright! And look at him, he's positively adorable! He looks like that Riku lad we had floundering around in Castle Oblivion a couple years ago, doesn't he? My goodness, he's gorgeous!"

"What a long day.." Vexen sighed as he stood up. If only Marluxia would shut up! He was still blabbering nonsense!

Marluxia paused in mid sentence. "Day? Oh no, Vexy. It's only half past nine in the morning! You've got a whole morning, afternoon, and evening ahead of you! How lovely!"

"A whole day?!"

Poor, poor Vexen. Never gets a break.

Next chappo is coming soon!! :O Thank you for reading this. I hope it made you laugh at one point in time. I'm not that great at humour. I try though, really I do.

For curious readers that want to know why Demyx is digging a tunnel, it's cuz it's an escape route. Just in case someone gets mad at him. He's got a whole room about fifty feet out from the castle. :D He's in the process of digging his way to make another room to keep food in and stuff.

And as for what route this story will be taking, hopefully, it'll be good. As the clueless author, I myself, do not know what's going to happen. Questions are more than welcome though. :)

Oh, and I guess you could consider this AU. It's more like what happens after KH2. And the reason why Demyx, Vexen, Marluxia, and the others are alive will be explained when Riku wakes up. I'd give you a preview of what is to come, but I haven't written the next chapter yet and the previously said stuff is more than enough of a spoiler. :P

Jerry loves you! But he'll come eat your marshmallows and steal your stuffed animals' hearts if you don't drop a word. That's not meaning it literally. Seriously though, show me some love!

Please?
