Hello again. This lovely little story was written with Changeling007. I have no idea how often things will be updated—we only see eachother a few times a week. But anyway:

We don't own ANYTHING!!!!!!

And on with the story!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Heads up!" I called at my best friend as I swung my keyblade at his ball of fire, effectively knocking it back at him. He covered his face with his arms as it collided into his face.

"You okay Ax?" I asked him. This was the first time I'd actually hit him.

"Yup-I'm good." He said lowering his arms. "Ready for another round Rox?" He grinned evilly.

I nodded once, determined. The name of the game was Axel Ball. To play, you needed one Axel and one Roxas. A keyblade was also extremely useful. We tried letting others play but their weapons wouldn't reflect the fireballs, and they always got burned. Except Demyx. He just put the fire out, completely missing the point of the game.

Axel held his hands up and a large fireball formed between them. I took a ready stance as he swung his arms like a pitcher and hurled the ball at me.

I came towards me, faster than usual. I stood ready, counting in my head.

One.

Two.

Three.

SWING.

I sent the flaming mass flying. It passed inches in front of Xigbar's face. At least he didn't get hit.

"Sorry Xig'!" I called.

"Whatever little dude." He replied, waving his hand. He's seen us play enough to know that I don't always have the best aim when it comes to high speeds.

After about an hour of playing Axel Ball we were exhausted. Axel started light things on fire. But unfortunately that's a one person coughaxelcough job. Naturally I took my keyblade and began playing golf-using rocks. When Axel saw me hitting things he started to light the rocks on fire. In truth it was the most fun I've had in a while. Since we were over by Demyx's training pool-so most of the rocks went in there and burned out. In fact, ALL of the rocks went into the pool-except one. And that one caused some very big problems. Somewhere Axel had found a huge rock, about the size of a soccer ball. I tried to stop him from throwing it, but did it work? NO! Idiot.

"Axel! That's too big! I won't be able to hit it right!!!!"

Axel just grinned evilly and lifted his hand. At that moment I just happened to turned my head- and saw IV walking along the path behind me.

"AXEL! WAIT!"

But it was too late. Axel threw the ball. I had no choice- I had to at least try to hit it, to avoid hitting Vexen. I closed my eyes, slammed my keyblade into the rock and sent it flying. I guess I hit it harder than normal, because it went straight over the wall into Lexaeus' garden. (Yeah. Lex has a garden, he likes to sit there and think-and it's possibly the cleanest area anywhere in the World That Never Was.) So. I sent it over the wall and suddenly heard a high, girly, scream—a scream that could only belong to three people—Electro Woman, Princess Mansex, or the Gay Gardner. And since I knew Marluxia and Larxene were out on another world getting their hair (and nails shudder) done, it could only be the Superior. Hopefully Xemnas had just tripped over a non-existent speck of dirt. Axel and I exchanged glances and started sprinting towards the garden. Alas, luck was not with us. The Superior lay semi-conscious against the far wall, clutching his—uh—nether-regions. He looked over at us and moaned,

"Tell VI to get The Book." He then lost consciousness completely. I shook my head-I didn't really want to go find Zexion. Last time I had "disturbed" him during his research, I got a concussion from the book he threw at my head. Later, I was yelled at for getting blood on his book.

But I digress—Axel was still just standing, staring at the Superior in shock.

"Axel—Axellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! AXEL!" he turned slowly and looked at me. "Go find Vexen, I'm going to look for Zexion."

"The book." He said slowly. "What the crap is the FRICKEN book!? And if I don't know what it is, why the heck would Zexion!? I'm just as smart as he is! He just looks smarter 'cause he uses big words. Actually I KNOW I'm smarter! S-A-R-T-E-R!!! I mean S-M-A-R-T-E-R! EITHER WAY—GOT IT FRICKEN MEMORIZED!?"

It was now my turn to stare in shock. The beginning of Axel's triad has started out as a whisper but had crescendo-ed into him screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Right. Anyway—go find Vexen-I saw his walking around out here earlier."

I started to go back to the castle. There were only three places Zexion ever went. (Besides meal and meeting times). The library---reading. His room---reading. And Demyx's room—playing video games or listening to Demyx play his sitar. Demyx never let him read in his room. I hadn't realized that I had actually got to the library until I was already there. Cautiously, I opened the door.
