A/N: Ah, bet you guys didn't see this one comin', huh? Truth be told, I was thinking of some sort of sequel for this, and I kinda excused the thought. But now, I thank the author Psychic Genuis, who encouraged me to make a sequel, and I also thank this author for giving me a few ideas for it: Axel playing match-maker, and him getting revenge on Larx somehow (yeah, I agree that people would love to see that! XP) after that pet shop incident in the last chapter of "Attention Seeker". There'll be Namixas on the side, of course, but be aware that it's not the dominant pairing like how it was in the predecessor.

And so, I excitedly bring to you the sequel of "Attention Seeker"!

Oh, and I don't own the lyrics to the song that you'll see later in this chapter. It's from the Wicked musical, and I'm quite sure the song they're from is called "Dancing Through Life". Correct me if I'm wrong; I'll appreciate it.


It was a fact among the Organization: Roxas was courting Namine, the group's memory witch. They couldn't even gossip about it, the two were so open with their relationship. Some like Saix and Xaldin said that the two teens were trying to fool themselves into thinking that they had a heart. Demyx said it was true love that transcended even their Nobody condition; a bottle was thrown at his head after he said this, of course. Larxene excused their relationship as raging hormones.

Axel, however, didn't care what they excused it as.

The Flurry Of Dancing Flames saw their relationship as a result of his "match-making skills". It was the pyro who had set up their first date, and it was him -along with Larxene and Demyx- who had kept their date going 'smoothly'. Hell, Axel took credit for bringing the teens together.

In fact, that was just the topic that arose during his latest conversation with Larxene, which happened to be right now, the most present moment. The eighth member was seated on the counter, next to the refrigerator, and his comrade was digging through its contents, about to reply to Axel's statement.

"Really now?" the Nymph drawled, playfully incredulous. She pushed aside the fruit bowl as she dug deeper. "So, what, are you a match-maker now or something?"

Axel puffed his chest out proudly. "Well, it was ME who set up their first date in the first place, so you gotta take that into consideration. But yes, I think it's me who's responsible for setting them up and getting them together."

Larxene rolled her eyes but her friend didn't see it, she was that far in the refrigerator. Moving the soft drinks away, she said, "Well then, O great match-maker, who's next on your list?"

Axel blinked, intrigued. "What do you mean?"

Larxene breathed a quick laugh before saying, "Well, a match-maker matches people up, right? Or was Roxas the only one because he's your best friend?" The Savage Nymph grinned in triumph as she found the chicken.

Axel cupped his chin in obvious thought. "Well, I guess I can work with other people," he murmured airily. "It would be a fun thing to do, too." He grinned devilishly. "Who should we start with first?"

Larxene smirked. "I think--"

"No wait, wait a minute!" Axel said, cutting her off and waving a hand in front of her face eagerly. Before Larxene could try and bite, Axel said, "Let's bring Demyx along again! That way it'll a be a real round two!"

Larxene rolled her eyes. "Well, let's work out who we'll try and have you match up first, then go see Demyx."

Axel nodded with brimming enthusiasm. "You already have someone in mind?"

"That girl at the pet shop you were hitting on last month."

Axel frowned. "Very funny," he grumbled to a smirking Larxene.


"Uh... You're gonna be a match-maker?" The Nocturne's incredulous frown was almost immediate as he heard Axel's grand scheme. "Who inflated your ego with that idea?"

Larxene coughed, and Demyx groaned, putting his palm to his forehead. "Oh boy...," he sighed, looking at his white ceiling. "Well, I guess the only way to steer you away from this is to actually have you try it out... Who are we matching up first?"

Larxene's eyes lit up mischievously. "Oh, it's gonna be that--"

Axel clamped a hand over her mouth. "I'll have my revenge on you for that later," he hissed into her ear; through his glove, he felt her grin widen. To Demyx, he said, "Well, I was thinking of one of our loneliest members. A man who appears quiet and apathetic only on the outside. A man who loses himself in his practices and hobbies just to escape his nagging loneliness. He tries to stave off his sheer, agonizing pain by throwing things at us, as a vent."

Demyx struggled with following along while trying to piece together who Axel was talking about. "Um... Vexen?"

Axel blinked. "Oh, there's no hope for Vexen, plain and simple. No, you dummy! I'm talking about Zexion!"

Even Larxene seemed surprised at the suggestion. "You're talking about asexual Zexion?" she asked, disbelief laced in her voice.

"What's wrong with that?"

Demyx sighed and wrapped his arm around Axel's shoulders. "To put it this way, dude, you're barking up the wrong tree when it comes to finding a match for Zexion, of all people." He chuckled. "How about Larxene and I help you find people to match up? That way you'll have more energy and thinking power to find the right matches. What do you say?"

Axel seemed to think again. "Okay, sounds fine with me." He shrugged.

Demyx shot a worried glance at Larxene, who simply shrugged and rolled her eyes. "Eh," she said dismissively, "it'll give me an opportunity to see him get his rear end whooped."

"They better be gentle," Axel retorted, smirking at how Larxene's face fell to a shocked and blank look.


Roxas slowly pulled Namine over into his arms, and the two stared out the girl's window, looking up at the heart-shaped moon floating above, watching them all. He nuzzled her neck affectionately, and his girlfriend kissed his cheek in return. "Why do you have to be so special, Roxas?" Namine asked, smiling playfully at him.

Roxas kissed her forehead. "Why do you have to be so special, Namine?"

On the other side of the slightly-ajar door, Larxene grimaced. Nudging Axel, she hissed, "Let's burst into song in front of them and embarrass them before I throw up."

"Agreed," Axel purred, smirking. "How about a couple lines from 'Dancing Through Life'?"

Larxene nodded quickly. "Let's do it now. I think they're getting mushier..."

Axel smiled and jumped up after Larxene. Following her, he waited until she started off.

"Now that we've found one another," she sang mockingly, startling the lovebirds, "it's clear we deserve each other!" To Axel, she sang, "You're perfect."

Axel smirked at the play. "You're perfect," he assured, following the song.

Both sang the last of their piece. Axel walked behind Roxas; Larxene went behind Namine. Pushing the two together even more, the two adults sang, "So we're perfect together! Born to be forever!"

"Okay, okay," Roxas grumbled, lightly pushing Axel back. "That's enough. No more musicals."

Axel seemed to pout. "Aw, too bad. And Larxene and I worked so hard to sing it to you two!"

"More like you two worked so hard to embarrass us!" Roxas returned, blue eyes trying to glare. Yet inside, he was kind of laughing. His best friend would go and burst into song in front of him and his girlfriend, while risking embarrassment himself? He had to admit, he had a great best friend.

Axel faked a dramatic bow. "Your welcome, buddy!"

Roxas couldn't suppress a laugh. "Alright, alright, what do you want?"

Axel put a hand on the teen boy. "Guess what? I'm going to be a match-maker!"

Roxas could only blink as his mind and brain tried to process Axel's statement. "You're kidding, right?" he finally replied. He blinked his blue eyes and waited for Axel to say that he was joking.

Axel shook his head. "Course not! Larxene and Demyx are coming with me! And I was hoping that you would come, too!"

Roxas tilted his head. "Wait. Where are we going?"

Axel's face fell somewhat. "Uh... Uhm... We'll figure that out when we get there." He heard Larxene slap her forehead and groan.

Roxas smiled at his pyrokinetic friend. Sighing, he said, "Fine. But only because I want to see if you can actually pull it off."

"Great!" Axel said, eyes lighting up suddenly. "We'll go meet Demyx; he should be in the kitchen right now. We'll discuss who we'll get first when we get there." As he led Roxas out of Namine's room, Axel called over his shoulder, "Larx! You coming or what?"

Larxene lifted her head from where she had it bent over in a conspiratorial manner near Namine. "Yeah, sure," she replied. "Okay, Namine," the slim woman said airily, waving her hand dismissively. "Now you know how hamburgers are made, detail by detail. Try not to have nightmares, okay?"

Namine could only stare after Larxene as the lightning wielder disappeared through a portal. After remaining rigid for a few moments, Namine slowly made her way onto her chair; there she hugged her knees close to herself with one arm; the other was bringing her crayons and paper.

Namine spent the rest of the day silently drawing cows with smiles on, skipping through very green meadows without a care in the world.


A/N: Yep, another fic, ahah. Not that I'm complaining. Besides, for me, it's good to start another story. But I still need to work on "Ruthless Facade" (C'mon, Lar-Lar, help me out here!), and "Dream Spell" is still kinda recovering from its 5-6 month hiatus. But all in all, we're all good here, and I hope you all enjoy this fic!
