I miss Demy's happy, smiling face. I haven't seen it in months. I haven't seen HIM in ages, not since Saix died... No one has any idea what happened to him. Katia ain't talking, neither are Axel and Xemnas. Julieta, well... I have no need to mention her... Anyway, this story has no point to it anyway. It's about our latest member, Layce...

A perfectly normal day in our castle, Roxas being held down to stop him cooking us food again, Axel laughing at him, Marly out in the garden, Vexen in his lab and Xemnas ranting to himself. I don't care about anyone else because they weren't doing anything very interesting.

"ALL MEMBERS TO A MEETING NOW!" Xemnas yelled through the loud speakers. Everyone groaned, Axel picked up Roxas and dragged him to the meeting, Marly finished talking to his flowers etc.

"Right, 1st order of business. We have a new member." Xemnas announced. Everyone groaned again. New members were always trouble. Suddenly, a new voice piped up.

"Not a very nice way to greet someone!" The new voice spoke with a joking tone. No one's mouth had moved.

"Erm......Layce? Is that you?" Xemnas asked thin air.

"Why yes, yes it is!" A girl suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. Her hood was up so I couldn't see any of her face but she was quite small and had a funny aura about her. "So..." She took down her hood. Her shoulder-length purple hair just swaying as she did so. She turned around and looked at everyone. "These are the clowns you were talking about?!"

Everyone turned their attention to Xemnas. He looked worried but all of us know he couldn't be. "Erm...when did I call them clowns?" Layce just laughed, not a hollow laugh like the rest of us, but a proper laugh. She was no Nobody...

We all greeted her and she took her seat. The meeting went on for another few hours. Eventually, we were allowed to leave. Layce went up to see the other girls. Soon enough, she was friends with all of us. When we meet, I was upside down. Layce demonstrated how she could do it too. I was awe-struck. I smiled and we started having conversations about how we annoyed so many people by popping in unexpectantly.

:D well, I hope you enjoyed that HEART-WRENCHING story! Well, I dunno what heart-wrenching means. I have no heart! Geez...
