One of my friends from DA asked if I would write this and I didn't want to put it up until I got a few chapter done and posted over there since that's where it came from. I hope you all like it. It's like Honey I shrunk the kids but at the same time it's totally different. Especially since, if you're a returning reader, you all know that I'm so not afraid to kill off a character willy nilly. so no more dilly dally and on with it! enjoy!

Survival of the Fittest

Chapter 1

Two twin brothers lounge on the living couch awaiting for their many friends arrival. The older by a minute has chestnut colored hair that spikes in all directions. The other has simple flaxen locks rising skyward. Both have eyes bluer than any sky or ocean combined. This weekend the two brothers' parents are out of town on a business deal and they invented their exclusive nine friends.

The doorbell rings, signaling the first arrivals. With almost a sixth sense, the older boy jumps up and rushes to the door to let his childhood friend inside. These two have never been apart besides the usual times. One would think that they were brothers instead. The teenage boy at the door grabs the other in a headlock and laughs, "You're so easy to get ahold of Sora."

Said boy pushes the other away, "Whatever Riku you're just jealous 'cause I'm better!" Riku rolls his aquamarine orbs and flicks silvered hair over his shoulder.

The next two to arrive are the younger brother's closest pals. Lazily heading to the door he swings it open, granting them entrance. Both the tall and lanky boys enter, putting shame to the host's small stagier. The shorter out of the two has a unique hairstyle, a mohawk fused with a mullet, and clear sky orbs. The red head as piercing emerald eyes with reversed violet teardrop under each socket. The red-head laughs and ruffles the blonde spikes, "Relax Roxas we'll behave, right Demyx?"

Demyx nods, his normal happy self, "Of course Axel!"

Over the next five minutes another pair of friends show up. One with short golden hair and the other a dark shade of orange/red/brown. The multicolored one always carries a ball and is the star of the school's blitzball team, Wakka is the captain. Tidus is one of the main players and gets caught up in the fame every once in awhile but he always remembers his friends. They occasionally have attempted to teach Sora and Riku the game...with limited success.

Following behind them are Hayner and Pence. Pence has dark brown hair that is kept up with a band and he's a bit on the heavy side. Not that anyone would dare point it out, he's the supplier for all their sea-salt ice cream, which is what he brings with him. Hayner is frankly an ass in most situations but a reliable friend as well.

Lastly and always fashionably late are two of the groups odder friends. Xigbar is known for attempting just about any stunt and usually obtaining a scar in the end. Because of this he wears an eye patch over his right eye and has a scar on his cheek. Even odder is that fact that his black hair has white streaks throughout it and is pulled back into a ponytail. Xigbar indeed has an unhealthy fascination of firearms just as Axel has one for fire in particular.

Almost barely taller than Roxas and Sora is Zexion. He's considered the bookworm as he can always be seen with a book older than ones people usually read. Zexion's short slate colored hair conceals the right half of his face so that only one similar shaded eye can be visible.

They all sit around in the living room debating on who to send to get snacks at the many different restaurants. The argument began half an hour ago and still is unresolved. Zexion rests his head on his palm. "Since Sora and Roxas are the hosts they should be the ones to make the trip." Sora begins to pout and Roxas tries to object, they don't get a chance. "So then, Sora, Roxas, pick someone each to go with you both."

Sora flashes a smug grin at Riku, "I choose you!"

Riku shakes his head, "I'm not a pokemon Sora."

"I'm taking Hayner." declares Roxas.

The four begin out the door as the others turn to each other. Demyx points out the obvious problem. "What do we do now that they're gone?"

Axel looks toward the basement. "Well let's go see what their parents keep locked up."

Grinning like a cat Xigbar nods, "Okie dokie, it's been a while since I've picked a lock."

So the group all moves down the steps by the kitchen and watches anxiously while Xigbar manages to open the door. As they move into the cement confinement alarm sparks them all. A machine poised in the corner attracts each of their attentions. Moving as one they all are before it when the sound of a slamming door echoes throughout the frame of the house. In the mad confusion of which way to go a switch is flipped.

A lime green light erupts around them all as they try to get out of reach of the beam.

Blinking they stare at one another compared to their surroundings. That's when it hits them. They've been shrunk to the size of a simple bug.
