Having puppies is exhausting… That's really my only excuse for not posting anything in about two months… anyways, here's something else for the Kingdom Hearts Kids. During the scooter scene, there is a particular moment that actually happened to me, my sister, her friend, and my dad. Basically, Terra is my dad, my sister is Vanitas, I'm Kidani (my OC), and my sister's friend is Ven.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters excluding Kidani and Ember.
Enjoy! :D
"You know Ax, just because you assume this thinking position all the time doesn't mean you're any smarter looking… You'd have to cut your hair for that."
Axel glared at his sister and patted his hair protectively. "Nothing's ever going to tame this mane sister. Why is everyone always teasing me about my smartness and hair?"
"Because it's fun." Vanitas answered as he joined the two redheads.
"What's got you thinking now Axel?" Terra asked as he, Riku, and Aqua also sat with them.
"The trip to Toys R Us tomorrow." Axel sighed.
"Toys R Us! I want to go!" Aqua whined.
"It's just Terra, Vani, Roxas, Ven, Sora, Riku, Kida, and me Aqua, sorry." Axel apologized.
"What's the issue then?" Ember asked as the bluenette pouted and folded her arms, leaving Terra to comfort her.
"I don't know what to buy. It will be an entire four more weeks until I get to go again and I want something good." Axel explained.
"You don't even know what they have there. You'll have to actually go and see." Riku reminded his friend.
"Why can you only go every month anyways?" Aqua asked, making Axel smirk.
"Because we always get kicked out when we all go together." Vanitas answered for her.
"What do you even do?" Aqua asked.
"Many things." Axel replied cryptically.
"I guess that means I don't want to know." The bluenette shuddered.
"Anyways, I guess that solves my problem for now. I'm gonna go find Roxy." Axel said as he stood and skipped off.
"Real manly Ax!" Riku called after his friend, making the others snicker.
The group of children, accompanied by their fathers Cloud, Leon, Eraqus, Reno, Zack, and Sephiroth, stood outside the gigantic Toys R Us that Saturday afternoon, nearly dying with anticipation to get in and see all the amazing toys.
"You all have one hour." Leon told them.
"And please, don't destroy anything this time." Sephiroth warned, giving Vanitas and Axel a pointed look.
"He's kidding, go have fun." Reno said.
The kids excitedly ran into the store, ready to take full advantage of the hour of fun they had waiting.
"Roxy! Come with me!" Axel demanded, pulling the blond off in a random direction.
"Scooters anyone?" Vanitas asked with a sly grin.
"You can ride them?" Kidani asked with shock.
"If you don't get caught." Ven told him.
"I'll go to make sure you three don't get us kicked out." Terra sighed, following them.
"Riku, let's go look at the Monster High dolls!" Sora exclaimed, grabbing the silverette's wrist and skipping off.
"Wait, what?"
"Okay, Terra's it!" Vanitas shouted once the four boys had gotten their scooters. He took off, followed by a giggling Ven. Kida took off in another direction and Terra shook his head but began counting to give them time to hide.
The object of Scooter Tag was simple: scoot away from the person who's it and avoid the store employees. Once you were tagged, you were it. They played it at home, but at the store it seemed much more entertaining and thrilling.
Terra scooted around, searching for his friends. He caught sight of blond hair and grinned, following the person. He cut around an aisle and ran right into an unassuming Ven, who screeched and took off. The brunette frowned. He often forgot how fast Ven was. He took off after said blond, also searching for the two ravenettes.
"Vroom! And Axel takes the lead, he's driving faster than the speed of light! He's going to cross the finish! He's gonna take it..!" Crunch!
Axel pouted as Roxas stepped on the hot wheel car he had thrown down the aisle. It had almost made it to the end before the blond intervened.
"I don't remember Godzilla being part of the race, or being a cute blond." The redhead remarked.
Roxas' face turned red. "Ax, we've been here too long, I want to see other things before we have to go."
Axel's face brightened. "I know! Follow me!" He jumped to his feet and ran off, leading Roxas down multiple aisles until they came to the plastic playhouses.
"I always wanted one of these. Think my dad would buy it for me?" The older boy wondered aloud.
"If he won the lottery." Roxas stated.
"Bingo! I call this one then!" The redhead pulled Roxas inside, shutting the door as the blond giggled at his friend's stupidity, and Axel began to laugh as well, resulting in a frenzy of laughter from both boys.
Outside, a woman was walking by with her young daughter, and she rolled her eyes, quickly pulling her child away.
"Aw! Riku, you look so pretty! Just like Aurora!" Sora exclaimed.
The aforementioned silverette's face was red, which contrasted greatly with the pink dress his friend had forced him to try on because 'it would look great with his silver hair'.
"Sora, I am not a girl, and neither are you." He stated, eyeing the brunette's yellow Belle dress.
"I like feeling pretty." Sora merely said, twirling around so the dress would flair.
Riku sighed, wondering why he didn't just go ride on the scooters.
The game of Scooter Tag had gotten intense. Terra had finally tagged Kida, who got Ven, and then Vanitas, and now Kida was it again and chasing the other ravenette down again because he hadn't called 'no touch-backs' in time.
Kida wasn't far behind Vanitas, and when the ravenette turned a corner, all he could hear was a sudden crash. He followed and found Vanitas lying on the floor in front of Terra, who had just innocently come along as the boy fell, and an employee, who was watching the situation bemusedly.
"What just happened?" Kidani asked.
Vanitas was laughing too hard to even respond.
"He fell over his handlebars." Terra replied as he chuckled.
Kida joined in as well. "All I heard was CRASH!"
"Hey, what happened?" Ven asked as he stopped next to the ravenette, seeing Vanitas on the floor.
"Vani fell!" Kida told him through his laughter.
Ven laughed as well, and when they had all calmed, they remembered the male employee standing there.
"Be careful kids, and don't let anyone else catch you." The man warned before walking off.
They watched him go and then looked at one another.
"Tag." Kida said as he tapped Vanitas on the head before he, Terra, and Ven scooted off.
Not five minutes later, Kida was it again due to Vanitas' persistence to tag only him, and he was chasing the ravenette again as revenge.
Another corner turned, another crash. Kida rode onto the scene to find Terra yet again staring at Vanitas and laughing as the younger boy lay sprawled out on the floor, also laughing.
Kidani choked as he began giggling as well. "You did it again!"
"All within five minutes." Terra added.
Ven came along, late as last time, and immediately realised what was going on. He chuckled. "Maybe Vanitas shouldn't ride scooters anymore."
"We should look around at other stuff anyways." Terra stated, putting his scooter and Ven's away. The two walked off and Vanitas finally got up. He and Kida put away their scooters.
"Come on, I know what to do now." Vanitas said before running off, Kida following behind him.
Roxas and Axel finally left their little house after the blond consistently refused to be Axel's wife. He was not a girl and therefore would not hold the title of one. They went on to another aisle and found a set up of Thomas the Tank Engine tracks and train figures.
"Thomas the Tank Engine is totally lame." Axel stated.
"Yeah, totally." Roxas agreed.
Both of them eyed the table of trains, the urge to play overwhelming them.
"But even adults play with train sets right?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah." The redhead ran over to the table and started pushing around all of the trains to their little hearts' content.
"Riku, I am your father."
Riku raised an eyebrow at his brunette friend, who had on a Darth Vader helmet and was holding a lightsaber, but sounded anything but like the villain from the Star Wars series. "Sora, you're too innocent and nice to be Darth Vader. You're more like… Chewbacca."
Sora took off the helmet and pouted. "I am not!"
"Sure you are. You're loud, you have the crazy brown hair, and you're cute." Riku said, clapping his hands over his mouth in shock at the last thing he had said.
Sora blushed. "You think I'm cute?"
The silverette's face turned red yet again. How often could he blush in one entire hour?
Kida and Vanitas had ventured outside, where they found the play sets of slides and swings. They ran into the fenced in area and began to play around on the objects, and then hid in a playhouse similar to the one Axel and Roxas had been playing with inside, only for an employee to come along and realize that the gate to prevent children from going inside had been left open. He locked it back up and went inside, whistling a happy tune.
After a few more minutes of playing in the house, Kida and Vanitas decided to go back inside, only to find the gate closed and locked.
"Vani." Kida said fearfully.
"No worries, someone will find us." Vanitas assured him, although he was wondering himself when they would be found. Or perhaps his dad would forget him again, it had happened before many times. Zack could be somewhat oblivious.
"Help!" Kida yelled out, banging on the chain link gate.
"Dani, calm down, we'll be fine." Vanitas told his friend, sauntering back over to the play set and plopping down on a swing, beginning to swing higher and higher.
Kidani watched the ravenette, his eye twitching. No, they would not be fine. They were trapped, in jail, and their parents didn't know where they were, in fact no one did. They could be stuck here forever, and freeze to death, or die of starvation and thirst, or he would strangle Vanitas for getting them into this. Hm, the third action sounded promising. No, he would not resort to violence… Yet at least.
"Thomas the Tank Engine!" Sora screeched, running over to the table Axel and Roxas were still playing at.
"Finally! Something not girly!" Riku let out a sigh of relief as he joined them.
"Where have you two been?" Axel asked.
"It's too traumatizing to say." The silverette shuddered.
"It can't be that bad." Roxas scoffed.
"It wasn't, he's just being a weirdo." Sora said, completely transfixed with a model of Thomas and pushing it around on the tracks.
"Where are the others?" Roxas asked.
Riku shrugged. "Around, I saw them playing Scooter Tag but that was a while ago."
"Terra! It's the stuffed animal section!" Ven exclaimed when he finally found the area he had been looking for.
"Ven, you have an obsession with stuffed toys." The brunette remarked.
"They're so cute! How can you not have an obseason with them." The blond said.
"ObSESSION, not obseason, that's not even a word." Terra told him.
"Whatever." Ven was now totally focussed at looking around.
Terra smiled slightly. Honestly, he found the blond too cute, and nothing else really seemed as adorable to him anymore, hence the reason he wasn't fawning over the toys. And because he was a man, at least he liked to believe so.
"Well, if you want one pick it out because we have to go meet the others." He reminded the younger boy.
Finally, after playing with Thomas the Tank Engine for a while longer, the four boys had found themselves each a toy they wanted and met up with Terra and Ven, who had done the same.
"Hey, where are Vanitas and Kidani?" Roxas questioned.
"I don't know, we left them after Vanitas wiped out on the scooters twice." Terra explained.
"They had better not be getting us kicked out." Ven grumbled.
"Yeah, did you realize this is the first trip we've never been kicked out on?" Riku suddenly noted.
"Awesome! Maybe we can come back next week then!" Sora said excitedly.
"Wait a second. Where did Axel go?" Terra asked, looking around.
All of the others searched for the redhead as well, not finding him anywhere. A loud crash suddenly resounded through the store and they all hurried towards the scene, finding that Axel had knocked an entire shelf of toys over onto an employee.
"We can't win can we?" Riku grumbled.
"Axel you jerk! Why'd you go do that!?" Roxas asked angrily.
"Wait a second, it's you kids again!?" The man, who they then realized was the manager, raged.
"Oh crap." Sora said.
"Run!" Terra grabbed the redhead and they fled, finding their dads at the cash waiting for them.
"Okay, here's our toys, now lets go!" Riku rushed.
"Hold on a second, where are Kidani and Vanitas?" Eraqus asked.
The kids all swallowed hard. They knew that since Kida was still new here and technically the youngest of them all, they had to take care of him, and Eraqus was scary when he was mad, and in a word, overprotective.
"Uh, no time." Reno said when he saw the red-faced manager stomping over to them.
"Get out of my store!" The man raged.
"Okay, we're paying and going." Leon shot back, glaring at the man.
They paid quickly and rushed outside, only then hearing the cries of 'help'. They followed the screams and found Kida and Vanitas, only not in the situation they had thought the two kids would be in. They were trapped in the play set area, and Kida was strangling Vanitas, who was the one calling for help.
"It's all your fault! We're stuck in here and I'm going to die! I'm too young to die!" Kida yelled.
"Hey, calm down guys, we're here!" Zack said, slightly frightened at the youngest boy's antics.
Kida let Vanitas go and the boy, who hadn't been choking as much as he feared the other ravenette's insanity, immediately ran to the gate. "Oh thank god! I thought I was going to be killed by him before I could even kiss him!"
"Vanitas!" The other kids shouted simultaneously.
Eraqus went back inside and got an employee to come and let the two boys out.
"Never again." Kidani mumbled with a blush on his face as he walked out.
"What did you do?" Terra asked Vanitas.
"I figured, okay, if we're going to die, I might as well get a kiss out of it." The ravenette said with a shrug.
Roxas face-palmed.
"And it didn't work." Axel stated the obvious.
"It will." Vanitas grumbled.
"Alright, time to go before we get into anymore trouble." Sephiroth said.
"Well, just more of a reason to anticipate next month." Axel joked.
"I hate you." Roxas told him, following his brothers and parents to their car.
Axel dropped to his knees dramatically and shouted to the sky. "NO!"
Please review so poor Vanitas can get a kiss and Axel can get Roxas to forgive him!
