This took place BEFORE Larxene and Roxas came into the organization.

-----------------

"Y-you beat me!!" Luxord gasped, pounding the table beneath him with very agrivated fists. This was, infact, the first time his skills have failed him in poker.

"Indeed, it seems so." Zexion said in a blunt tone, giving a very faint smirk to the frustrated male standing across from him.

"HAH!! Dude, you get got yer ass kicked by ZEX!!" A very amused Xigbar was pointing and laughing, followed by snickers from Axel.

Luxord swore, he's somehow get back at Zexion, Axel, and Xigbar. Mostly Zexion, but he also found the other two highly annoying. The Gambler grunted and gave a short glare to the remaining occupants at the table, his frustration earning another wave of laughter from Axel and Xigbar.

"Bahh!! Forget it, yes, I lost to Zexion!" Luxord admitted through gritted teeth. He summoned a portal and stomped through, leaving a bored Zexion and two idiots.

He'll get back at them, he just needs to find the right time.

-----during dinner------

The other 9 members stared blankly at the empty seats. The superior and saix's seats were empty.

"Alright hot-head, pay up." Xibgar leaned onto the table and extended his hand out to Axel, who was cursing under is breath as he searched his coat.

"Here's your freakin' 50 munny..." He mumbled as he slapped the winnings into Xigbar's hand.

the rest of the organizationn payed no attention to this. It was obvious that the two made a bet on the Surperior and Saix. Thier "Relationship" with one another was very obvious.

"Wha'd ya guys bet on?" Then again, Demyx never really could get the obvious.

"Hah! We bet that the Superior won't be at dinner today! Like, seriously dudes, I was passing by his room and all I heard wuz---" Xigbar was silenced by a lance being chucked at his head, stabbing the chair behind him, "DUDE!! XALDIN!! WHAT THE" Xaldin glared and pointed, the Surperior was standing atthe doorway with Saix behind him. There was a freakish-stalker grin on Xemnas' face, aswell as a small smirk on Saix's.

The two sat sat at thier seats, but nothing changed about the dinner table. Xigbar was still whining to Xaldin while Vexen, Zexion, and Marluxia were speaking of some sort of plant research, Lexaeus was silently eating his dinner, and Axel and Luxord were trying to explain how to play go-fish to Demyx.

Xemnas cleared his throat, causing the rest of the Organization to look up.

"Well now, number IX, there was somehting you were trying to... request... I believe?" This made Demyx grin, he stood from his seat cauing his chair to slide back.

"LET'S HAVE A BALLROOM DANCE!!" he giggled and smiled, looking around. Everyone wa silent, even Lexaeus stopped eating just to stare at the sitarist. "You're... clearly deranged..." Zexion murmered. Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Luxord glanced at one another and then nodded in agreement with Zexion. Axel grinned and looked at the Surperior who was in 'thought.' most likely Xemnas will agree to this, Feh, he just wants a chance to dance with Saix. Axel thought. Xigbar seemed and somehow think the same way and mischieviously grinned in responce. Marluxia giggled and set his elbows on the table, his chin on his palms. "I agree with this idea." He gave a wink to Demyx, who just tilted his head to the side lightly. Everyone knew that Marluxia wanted to get into Demyx's, no, EVERYONE's pants, which is why Xemnas keeps trying to find a girl for him to molest instead of the rest of the organization. Mumbles and laughs spread quickly around the dinner table. This made it hard for Xemnas to finally make up his mind, so he glanced at Saix, who nodded and smirked in return. "Silence!" Eveyone looked at Xemnas, "I've decided to carry on with this... plan. A Fall dance doesn't sound to troublesome." The Surperior knew of just the gentleman to assign the duty of arrangeing a ball room dance. "X, if you please." Luxord nodded and grinned, leaning forward. "My pleasure."

There was sighs and laughs. No one had the heart ((literally)) to go against the Surperior, besides, even Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion were curious of the outcome. Yet that didn't stop them from disagreeing. They looked around at the other 5 members who seemed quite happy with the conclusion. Demyx's suggestion gave Luxord an idea. The gambler was very sharp and always alert, which is how he 'observes' the organization. "Ahem, Shall I state the rules?"

Luxord smiled and leaned back into his chair, crossing his arm. "I would like to... Challenge, the organization."

Eyes and heads turned to Luxord, curious and troubled looks started to show. "Alright, X, what is this challenge?" Xemnas said bluntly, glanceing from Saix to Luxord. "We must be aquiantted by another member." This already rose low grumbles, but most of the members had an idea of who they'd be going with. "Also, you may not ask the other member to directly 'join' you to the dance, instead, you must ask them anonymously." Zexion cocked his head to the side, finally giving intrest to these shinanigans. "Oh? How so? Please, do explain." Luxord gave a nod and stood up so the rest of the occupants at the table could hear him more clear. "Get them to be attracted to you. Flowers, cards, or random acts of kindness. Yet they must be oblivious to these acts. Then again it's your choice to do such acts, for doing so will only raise your chance of that person going with you. Understood?" demyx pouted and sat down (he was still standing), then childishly raised his hand. "Uhmm...Luxy.. I dun really...like...get it."

"Demyx, you don't get Go-fish either, so it's fine."

"Really?"

"No. Since you're the one who requested this dance, you must also pay the price for those who are suffering for you."

"W-well!! I...Uhh... don't WANT them to suffer... I just wanna have a fun time, ya know?" Demyx grinned at his response, it made him feel more confident.

"You'll be wearing a dress to the Dance."

"WHAT?!" Axel, Zexion, Marluxia, and Xigbar almost fell out of thier seats, wide eyed. "Dude, lex, yer like, SERIOUS?"

"Yes."

Axel and Xigbar were on the floor laughing, clutching thier sides. Zexion was in his seat, head tilted down lightly to hide his blush as Marluxia stared at Demyx's figure, dreaming of him in a dress. Xemnas and Saix left the room long ago, they had trust in Luxord's abilities, while Xaldin and Lexaeus were talking to Vexen about being part of his expirement. Anything to get them out of the 'Ball room dance'. Demyx, on the other hand, completely agreed to these terms. Infact, he was discussing the dress designs and colors with Marluxia. The Melodious Nocturn sat on the floor, tapping his chin with his finger tip, "Who should I anana-moose-ly ask...Hmm..."

These small words triggered Zexion, Axel, Xigbar, and Marluxia's thought. And so the fight for Demyx began.
