Chapter One: Invitation
It has been five years since Axel and I first got together at the prom.
After about five years of being together, Axel asked me to marry him, and I accepted. Now we're engaged. My parents took the news pretty well, though it took my dad a little while to get over the shock of his little baby girl getting married - hell, he practically fainted when I told him the news - before he gave us his blessing.
I got taller, but I'm still shorter than Axel, and that's one fact he'll never let me forget. My light-brown hair was the same length it was five years ago, except now it's more tame. My bra size went up by a couple digits, which made my fiancé happy because he liked to grope them and use them as pillows, the latter I preferred because it was less perverted. I started dressing a little more maturely, and no longer wore gloves to conceal the scars on my arms.
Other than his hair getting longer, Axel had hardly changed. His hair grew so long, he started wearing his hair in a ponytail to keep it from getting in the way when he fought or trained. As far as his personality goes, he's still a cocky, perverted moron.
Roxas got taller, and he, like every other guy in the castle, was taller than me. His hair got a little longer, and his voice deepened by an octave or two.
Zexion's hair got longer, and he stayed relatively the same height.
Demyx's hair grew longer too, but not by much. He also matured a little bit, acting like less of a moron and more like a responsible adult. However, he's still a lazy wuss who'd rather let somebody else do his work than do it himself - unless he absolutely has to. He still cries at movies, and he's still afraid of the dark.
The other members of the Organization had hardly changed; Xemnas is still a slave driving asshole; Saïx is still a buzz kill; Xigbar's still un-hip; Xaldin still likes pointy things; Lexaeus still doesn't talk much; Luxord still has a gambling problem; Marluxia's still a fruit; Larxene's still psycho; and Vexen's still creepy.
Okay. The introduction's over.
On with the show.
"Hey, Nikki." Roxas said as he poofed into the living room. "You got mail. It's from your parents."
That's right. I still refer to their teleporting as 'poofing.' Moving on.
He handed me the envelope and I opened it, finding a letter, a pamphlet, and a list. Taking a sudden interest in the pamphlet, I opened it. Inside was my family tree, with all my family members' pictures in it. The others were huddled around me, suddenly interested in seeing what my family looked like. I handed them the pamphlet and began to read the letter.
Hi sweetheart, it's Mom.
Great news. The whole family is getting together for a reunion! Your father and I have made some arrangements, and we managed to make some room for your friends.
Also, I would like to have you know that everyone is coming; including Marge and Linda. I know you're not very fond of them - and neither are the other family members - but please try to grin and bear it. The good thing is that your dear cousin Jasper will be coming too, and I know how much you enjoy seeing him.
This weekend will be so much fun!
See you soon!
Love, Mom
"Jasper?" Axel asked from behind me, making me jump. "Who's Jasper?"
"Before you get jealous, he's my cousin…" Seeing Axel's disbelieving expression, I added, "And he's gay."
He opened his mouth to say something else, but I cut him off. "And he has a boyfriend."
The redhead blinked. "… Oh. Okay."
Roxas snickered a little, stopping immediately when he saw Axel's glare.
"The good news is I get to see my family again… but the bad new is that my aunts Marge and Linda are gonna be there…" I groaned, rubbing my temples in exasperation at the thought of the two cantankerous old crows that I called my aunts.
"Are they really that bad?" Demyx asked.
"You have no idea.." I said. "They're the most irritating and ill-mannered people you could ever meet. Marge thinks she's hot shit because she married a millionaire, and Linda thinks she's better than everybody else because she's a Christian. They complain all the time and they hate just about everything, and anything that is not perfect, trim, and proper is considered perverted and evil. In fact, if either one of them saw your hair they'd call you a heathen and shave your head."
Demyx yelped and covered his Mohawk protectively.
"Marge's daughter Marissa is nothing but a spoiled bitch. Everything was handed to her her whole life, and she never had to do anything for herself. If she was left alone with no money, she wouldn't know what the hell to do with herself. Hell, if she was all alone without any help in general, she wouldn't be able to get dressed in the morning because she had servants do it for her. Talk about spoiled.
"And poor Jasper. His own mother treats him like a burden because he's half-Latino and was the end result of a one night stand, and his idiot mother didn't believe in abortion so she had him anyway even though she's too selfish to have any children. And to top it off, he's gay, but he has to keep it a secret or she would send him off to one of those 'straight camps' so he'll end up hating himself for the rest of his life. He can't even be intimate with his boyfriend that he's been seeing for three years because he's afraid to be found out. Ugh! Those two just irritate me so much! They're the worst people imaginable! I can't stand them!"
Everyone sat there looking at me with wide eyes, and Axel let out a low whistle.
"Whew…" I sighed, after finishing my rant. "That felt good. Sorry I flew off the handle like that…"
"Somebody's a little edgy…" Axel commented. "I can help you with some of that frustration, you know…"
"We're not having sex tonight, and that's that."
Before you ask, yes, Axel and I have been getting, well… intimate. That's all I'm going to say about it.
"Aw, come on, baby…" He whined. "We haven't had sex, in like, two days!"
"Two days? Oh, you poor baby…" I cooed in mock pity. Then I continued, in a cold, uncaring tone, "Trust me, you'll survive."
He went to sulk in the corner.
"So your family's having a reunion?" Roxas asked, changing the subject. "It sounds like it's going to be fun. They've got a barbeque, and games, and then a big feast at the end."
"And we get to go? Awesome." Said Demyx.
"This would be a good chance for us to get to know other members of your family." Zexion chimed in. "And since you two are engaged, it would be a good idea for Axel to get acquainted with his future in-laws."
"Oh joy.." Axel muttered sarcastically.
I picked up the phone.
"I'd better call Mom and let her know we're coming."
