Saix examined his weapon thoughtfully. The moon was good, Larxene was damn good, and killing things was good. But wait a second, what's really good? Like, really, really good?

Ah, screw it all, Saix thought to himself. I'll find out soon enough. For now I can –

"HI SAIX!"

"Oh, god," he murmured.

Larxene had forgotten to take her pills again. Now was not a time for sanity – now was a time for action! And things like that.

Saix threw his claymore at the fire alarm system on the wall, dashed and caught it as the glass shattered.

Larxene, oblivious to this, skipped around Saix's bedroom until –

"MOOGLE!"

Saix whipped around.

"No… no, Larxene, step away from the moogle. Step away."

Larxene sang over the sound of fire bells resounding through Castle Oblivion:

"And the little moogle,

He got lost and he fell into a riv-er

But when I came along, I sang him a song,

And the poor little moogle felt bett-er!"

By this time Saix was at breaking point.

"MY MOOGLE!" he yelled and tackled Larxene, throwing her away from the moogle's cage.

Marluxia burst in to Saix's room just as Larxene began to cry.

"Oh no…"

Saix covered his ears, but Marluxia wasn't so lucky. A wall of solid sound picked him up and flung him into a wall. Actually it flung him into Demyx and they both went into the wall.

Larxene continued to wail,

"WANT MOOGLE!"

Saix removed himself from Larxene and ran.

"I WANT THE MOOGLE!" Larxene sobbed, then there were four soft thuds and the door was blown off its hinges as she threw her knives and backed their speed up with her powers.

Saix didn't turn back. He couldn't or she'd catch him, and she had been known to do some strange or violent (or both) things under the influence of her sanity.

Behind him, Larxene cried out, then there was a boom and she stopped her wailing.

"I got the moogle!" she yelled.

"But that's MY moogle!" cried Saix, and he skidded to a halt before sprinting back to save his pet, and only friend.

"I LOVE YOU MOOGLE!" roared Saix, but Larxene was already gone.

Demyx and Marluxia had also vanished, but they wouldn't have helped him anyway. They were both allergic to pom-pom.

Saix vanished.

Roxas and Axel, refereed by Luxord, were playing chess when they were interrupted by Saix.

"I say!" roared Luxord.

Axel and Roxas merely flinched – this had happened before.

"Moogle problems, right?"

Saix nodded at Axel.

"Larxene forgot to take her pills."

Roxas covered his mouth with a hand.

"That is NOT good."

"Yeah… she took Moogle."

Luxord recoiled in shock.

"Let us take up the quest to save…"

"Marty."

"… Marty Moogle!"

And they vanished, the game forgotten.

"Well thanks a lot," muttered Saix.

Xemnas was in the cafeteria with Xaldin and Xigbar.

"Cookie please…" Saix murmured to Vexen.

The Chilly Academic handed it over sourly.

"Don't get used to it; I'm only filling in 'coz Lexaeus is on maternity leave."

Saix joined the Superior and his companions.

"What now?" inquired Xaldin.

"I need your help. Larxene took my moogle."

Xemnas gasped.

"That means she might have my kitten!"

He vanished.

"She took your moogle?" asked Xigbar.

"That's what I said."

"Your point is?"

Saix slapped himself in the forehead. His companions could be incredibly stupid sometimes.

"Help me find it," he groaned; maybe he should avoid slapping himself with a stale cookie again.

"No way, we're eating."

"You know something?" said Xigbar. "You can be really heartless sometimes, Xaldin."

Saix groaned again.

"That's really, really bad, you know that?"

"Yup," said Xigbar, and vanished with Xaldin.

"Hey, Zexion!"

Zexion extricated himself from Larxene and smiled.

"Yes, Luna Diviner?"

"I need your help…"

Saix stopped mid-word.

"What were you doing with Larxene – wait a second, Larxene!"

Zexion stepped in front of her.

"Don't hurt my pumpkin, Number Seven."

"Pumpkin!"

Zexion sighed.

"Yes, well, at least she's taken her pills now."

"But what about Moogle?"

Larxene shifted uncomfortably.

"We gave him a good burial," piped up Zexion.

"Burial… NOOOOOOO!"
