Chapter 2
"It's so nice here!" Axel exclaims at my side. We are both dressed to look like commoners; he's wearing a pair of jeans with a brown tunic and sandals on his feet, his hair (for once) lying flat on his head. I'm also wearing jeans, but I'm wearing a cream blouse and tennis shoes.
"Have a fight with Larxene last night?" I inquire, I remember him coming home last night grumbling about how difficult she could be.
"Yea, she wanted me to come live with her in the castle here in Twilight Town."
"And you said 'no' didn't you?"
"Yea, I told her that I needed to make sure that any guy that hits on you are, you know, ok. It's a big brother thing." He says, while grabbing me around the throat and bringing me in for a nugie. His face blushes a little as twenty girls come running out of nowhere and almost throw themselves at his feet, begging him to come to the festivals their various towns are having. "Sorry ladies, already taken" he says and they groan in unison, and they walk away muttering and pointing fingers at me behind hands.
"Don't worry; I won't let any guy get you without my approval." And that was what I was afraid of.
So we come into town and a festival is happening. Everywhere I look there are acrobats, clowns, people on stilts and little children laughing and running through their legs. I giggle at the sight. Axel and I walk through the various stalls, listening to the venders shout their wares.
"Twenty munny for
this lovely necklace!"
"Ten munny for this pair of sandals!"
"Discount Day! Five munny for twenty key chains!" I thought sparks into my mind. Keychains, the very things that help out soldiers when we go to war. You see, every royal has a powerful weapon and control of an element (I don't know mine yet), but it's the soldiers that do all the hard work. A keychain holds inside a person's choice weapon, and so when someone enlists they are given a keychain after keychain until the right one is found for them, then they are separated based on weapon.
"Something on your mind?" Axel asks me, giving me a worried look.
"You look so funny when you are serious!" I chide. He smirks and we continue on our way, running right into Xemnas.
Xemnas is a man with upper body strength, and a brain, but he's a bit creepy. But he can be sweet, (he's the one that sent me that rose)
"Well, imagine finding you here! I believed you to be detained due to, oh what was it? Your puppy's burial was it?" I blush, he found me out.
"Well, as long as you're here, want to explore the fair with us?" I ask as politely as possible through clenched teeth.
"I would be most honored." And he joins our ranks as we explore the fair some more.
