I would like to dedicate this chapter to kidd12. I wasn't planning on writing more till you said something! This chapter is more to add more plot to the story then to be incredibly funny, but considering I just came up with it and wrote it in the past, oh, thirty minutes, it's not bad. I would also like to dedicate this story to the memory of Lilly, my brother's hampster. I burrowed her name for the little shadow heartless in this chapter. Lilly was a black hampster, which is the inspiration for the name. A heartless named something so bright and happy and a little black hampster. I thought it was funny, but then again, I was the one to suggest the name to my brother...

When I got back from my mission the last thing I expected was to see Xemnas and Axel standing outside of the door to my room. If you didn't know they don't exactly get along really well. The second thing I noticed was Axel was smiling. Something was up.

"Hi?" I said as I approached the door.

"How did you mission go, Number XIII?" He couldn't just say hi.

"'Sup, Roxas?"

"What are you doing here?"

Xemnas looked like he was about to comment on my lack of respect, but Axel spoke up.

"We had something to give you." Axel looked nervously at Xemnas. "But when we put it in your room, it sort of destroyed it."

I pushed past Axel and slammed my door open. My room was a complete disaster. The sheets had been pulled off my bed, the few posters I'd hung up had been ripped down, and in the middle of the room sitting in a puddle of -well you get the picture- was a little shadow heartless.

It was smaller than most shadows and it was wearing a bright pink collar.

"Isn't she cute?" Axel said trying to make up for the mess that was basically his fault.

I ignored the mess for a second, "She?"

Axel looked over his shoulder. Xemnas had disappeared. Good riddance.

"Boss man wasn't too happy, but I think I finally talked him into letting you have a pet, but he didn't want an animal in the house, so we got you a heartless. What he doesn't know, is I had Namine mess with its head and now it thinks it's a dog."

"Does she have a name?"

"Yea, Namine was calling it, her, Lilly. 'Cause Lilly's such a bright and cheerful name for our little heartless here…"

I laughed. Namine could be too optimistic sometimes.

"I, um, thought I'd gotten it potty trained, but I guess not." Axel said pointing to the puddle. "You'll have to train her yourself."

The little shadow walked over and started sniffing my shoe.

"I don't know what a heartless eats." I said hoping that Axel and Namine might have figured it out.

"You'll figure it out eventually." He's such a big help.

I sat on the floor and the little heartless walked over to me. I stared. She stared. I never noticed that shadows had such big eyes. She was cute. And I would finally be getting a pet.

"Well, she looks hungry so we'd best go figure it out." I said with a smile. The heartless sensed my happiness and she jumped on me and licked my face.

Axel stared laughing. I looked up to find out was so funny and he just pointed at me.

"Your heartless just finished licking its butt."


Those of you who have pets can relate I bet. I know we have a dog and two cats, and they seem to only want to give me kisses after they've just finished cleaning themselves. I don't think they understand how gross that is. I'm going to work on another chapter, so hopefully I'll have come up with an idea in a few weeks or so. Please Review!
