Happy October, fanfiction readers! Welcome to my newest fanfiction. After taking a couple months off of updates, I came up with this strange idea after watching the latest trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.8. I hope you guys enjoy this story and the experiences I have the KH cast go through.

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts belongs to Tetsuya Nomura and SquareEnix. I do not own any of these characters.

On the first day of June, morning crept slowly over the city. Upon entering a particular hotel, one would find people that were not native to this city. On the fourth floor, in room 413, there slept a group of boys: all with varying hairstyles and colors and at different heights. The tallest and oldest of the bunch was strewn across the couch with half of his body hanging off the side, his red hair jutting out in all angles. He was the only man who felt completely comfortable sleeping in only a pair of white boxers: his excuse being that it was "too freaking hot down here".

On the pull-out futon, there were two more boys asleep. The one next to the wall slept with an arm rested beneath his head of silver hair. The slightly pulled back blanket revealed a black tank top, and he was the only one brave enough to sleep with a pair of long, grey sweatpants. The second boy on the futon had blond hair spiked in a windswept manner. He wore a white tank with grey boxers and kept a lone arm draped off the side of the futon. Most of his half of the shared blanket was scrunched up next to him as he buried his face into his pillow.

In one of the two beds was the second oldest among the group of boys, and perhaps the second most still in his slumber. With a head of brown hair that had bangs to frame his face, this young man slept on his side, an arm under his head as he slept at peace, wearing a grey tank top with black boxers.

In the second bed rested the two youngest boys in the room. The first was another blond, his hair similar to the first, and he slept the most soundly, curled up in a little ball with the covers pulled around him. Underneath the covers, he wore a pale green shirt and white boxers. Next to him, with his face half buried in a pillow and mouth slightly agape, was a boy with brown hair spiked in all directions. He wore a white, slightly baggy shirt with red shorts.

None of the room's occupants stirred immediately, still in slumber as the sun began to peak over the horizon. As they continued to sleep, the door to their hotel room began to open. Silently, three girls stepped into the room. Entering first was a young girl of pure heart with auburn hair reaching slightly past her shoulders and blue-violet eyes. She wore a pink tank top and matching pj pants. Upon seeing the boys, still sleeping, she made a small frown. "Honestly? They're still asleep?"

"Maybe we should give them some time, Kairi?" the second of the three girls asked. She had short, black hair and blue eyes that matched the ocean. Her pajamas were very beach-y, decorated with pictures of seashells.

In response to her question, Kairi shook her head and said, "No, Xion. We all came out here to go to this convention, and if we want to enjoy it all, we have to get up early so we can get our costumes on and grab some breakfast." She then turned her head to third woman with them. "Isn't that right, Aqua?"

"Yes, that's right. And I know at least a couple of these boys will take a while to get moving." The oldest of the three women, Aqua had light blue hair reaching down to the nape of her neck and blue eyes to match. She was the only one out of the three of them to have gotten out of pjs and was instead wearing some black pants and a black spaghetti strap. "So let's hurry and wake them. I'm sure Namine will need my help in fixing her hair."

The other younger girls nodded towards Aqua in silent agreement, and the three of them stepped further in the room to wake everyone. Aqua and Kairi started by going to the beds while Xion went over to the futon. After a moment of wondering how to approach the situation, Xion eventually knelt down and rubbed the shoulder of the blond boy.

"Roxas, wake up," she said gently. "It's morning. We have to get ready."

After another moment or two, Roxas let out a moan and turned his head. Once he opened his blue eyes, he stared back for a moment. "Oh, Xion, it's you…"

Slowly, he lifted himself up with his arms and sat up. His shifting caused the futon's other occupant to begin stirring as well. Roxas rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes and asked, "What time is it? Did we sleep in?"

Xion shook her head. "No, it's only 7 o'clock, but Aqua said we should wake up right now, since she and Axel need some extra time for their costumes." As the former nobody nodded to this response, Xion looked past him and said, "Good morning, Riku."

"Mm, good morning…" Riku sat up and stretched before looking around the room, his aquamarine eyes adjusting to the little light in the room. "So, we're the first ones up?"

Xion nodded quietly, and Roxas stood up and meandered to the couch, saying, "I'll get Axel."

While he began to nudge Axel, eliciting moans from the man, Aqua tried to shake Terra with little success. Slightly frustrated, she said, "Terra, come on! We need to get moving!"

Terra opened his eyes blearily for a second before turning around and pulling the covers closer, mumbling, "Not now, Aqua…"

Aqua let out an annoyed huff, thinking aloud, "God, act your age…"

Kairi let out a slight huff as well once she failed to get her childhood friend to move. Seeing this, Riku got up and walked over to her, asking, "Sora's still not getting up?"

"Yeah," she grumbled. "I swear, he IS the biggest sleepyhead in the world."

"Let's just turn on a light," Riku said, walking over to turn on the lights, despite Roxas's protests of not wanting to adjust to sudden light yet. Riku flipped the switch, causing those awake in the room to squint at the sudden brightness, as well as getting reactions from at least half of the four still waking.

"Damn! Give a warning next time!" the red-headed man on the couch exclaimed as he and Terra sat up, attempting to shield their eyes.

Riku gave him a casual shrug. "Sorry, Axel, but-"

"God, I keep telling you guys, my name is Lea!"

Riku stared back blankly at him for a moment. Since becoming a whole person again, Axel had tried to get other to call him by his real name. After a while, he gave up and allowed everyone to call him whatever they wanted (most stuck with Axel save for a few people), so what was making him so irritated now? Riku sighed, figuring that this was a result of being grouchy when woken up, and said, "I know, but you only have yourself to blame. You kept telling everyone as Axel to 'get it memorized', so you have to expect some of us to keep calling you that. Anyways, you guys need to get up, or we'll miss out on the convention."

While Axel let out some inaudible grumbles to himself, grabbing a spare shirt in the process, Terra rubbed at his eyes to adjust to the light and mumbled, "Yeah, whose idea was it to do this again?"

"It was Sora's, remember?" Aqua reminded him. "After everything we've been through, he thought that getting some time away from our responsibilities would help us relax."

"Yeah, I guess…"

After a moment of silence, the two of them heard a soft moan on the other bed and looked to see the second blond slowly uncurling from his balled-up position. After some more slow movement on his part, the young boy rolled over and blearily opened his deep blue eyes, mumbling, "G'mornin…"

Terra and Aqua both smiled softly at their younger companion, and Aqua reached out and ruffled the boy's hair, saying warmly, "Good morning, Ventus. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Mm-hm…" Ventus stretched a little more, letting out a big yawn. After propping himself onto his elbows, he asked, "What time is it?"

"A little after seven," Terra replied. "The girls came to wake us up so we can get ready for the convention."

After another moment of processing the brunette's words, Ventus jumped into a more alert state. He bolted up from the bed and exclaimed, "Oh yeah! We have to get dressed up, don't we?"

"That's right."

"I can't wait to see who we're dressing up as!" he said excitedly before swinging his legs over to the side of the bed and getting up. "Aqua, you and the girls picked good outfits, right?"

"Yeah, I think you guys will like them," Aqua said with a smile.

"Come on, Sora!"

Everyone looked over to see Kairi had resorted to grabbing the young brunette's leg, trying to pull him off of the bed. Sadly, she could only really get him to the edge of the bed. Eventually, her grip slipped, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

"Urgh! Why is he such a heavy sleeper?!" Kairi asked, frustration in her voice.

"Kairi, you should already know by now that he's always been a heavy sleeper," Riku said, shaking his head with an amused look on his face.

"Well, that doesn't help with getting him up," Axel said, now wearing a deep red tank top. "If he doesn't get moving soon, we'll miss out on picking up our breakfast."

Everyone sat around, trying to think of a way to wake up the person responsible for getting them into this hotel in the first place. After a long moment of thought, Roxas finally spoke up. "I think I've got an idea." Looking over at Xion, he said, "Xion, could you go and grab Axel's hair gel by the bathroom? It should be in a little green bottle."

"Oh, okay."

As she left to get what Roxas asked for, Axel looked over at his friend in slightly confusion. "Um, what do you need my hair gel for, Rox?"

"Well, I need something wet."

Now, everyone was giving him a confused look, and as Xion re-entered the area, a small bottle in her hand, Kairi asked, "Um, why do you…?"

"Just watch," Roxas replied with a slight sigh. After grabbing the bottle and thanking Xion, he crawled onto the bed and bent down closely to Sora. With great care, he opened the bottle and squirted a small drop of hair gel onto his finger. He smiled, glad to feel that the gel was cool to the touch, and he reached out to spread the gel on Sora's exposed cheek. Instinctively, Sora moaned and wiped at the cold substance. Roxas watched his face scrunch slightly, confused at what he was touching. So, Sora opened his eyes, shocked at seeing his former nobody's face mere inches away from him.

"WHOA!" Sora backed away, not expecting to be at the edge of the bed, and immediately dropped like a boulder onto the floor.

"Ow…" Sora rubbed the back of his now sore head and sat up once he heard laughter coming from a few of his friends. He looked around the room, and after noticing the girls, he said a little dumbly, "Oh, uh… Hey ladies. What are you doing here?"

"We have to get up, Sora," Kairi responded, her frustration, admittedly, melting away at her friend's dopey response. "Remember? We're dressing up for this convention."

"Oh yeah…" Sora let out a nervous laugh, getting up from his spot on the floor. "Namine has the outfits, right? I guess we better not leave her waiting. Let's go, guys!"

With that, Sora was the first to walk towards the exit. Slowly, everyone followed the excitable boy. As they walked, Xion said, "Wow, he's super tired one second and easily excitable the next. Has he always been like that?"

Riku chuckled lightly, deciding to answer the young raven-haired girl. "Yeah, basically."

With smiles, everyone walked over to the room where the girls had been sleeping, hoping that Sora's high energy would transfer over to them once they got into their costumes, ate breakfast, and left the hotel to go their first anime convention. This was the beginning of what would surely be a fun-filled weekend.

And that's the intro to this story taken care of. I hope all of you have enjoyed it. Next time, Sora and the gang will be getting into their costumes for the convention. Stay tuned, and have a great day!
