Chapter 2
Aerith, the girls, Roxas, and Demyx were all assigned to see what the Island had to offer for food while the guys worked on trying to make the shack and the tree house liveable and big enough to sleep nineteen people comfortably.
"Why do I have to go with all the girls!" Yuffie said to no one in particular. "I am more than capable to work with all the guys. I definitely work better than some of them." She said looking at Sora and Marluxia.
Leon shook his head and Marluxia said "Because you're not a man." Axel laughed and Demyx whined "what about me and Roxas!"
"Yeah what about you?" said Yuffie. This got a chuckle from the group.
"This isn't fair I'm a man and I'm stuck getting food!"
"I wouldn't necessarily consider you a man, Demyx." Saiix said and everyone stopped and stared.
"He finally spoke." Riku said. Axel came up and put a hand on Saiix's shoulder and said "Hey I was starting wonder if you could still speak! I thought you lost a couple screws back there when you were taken out. Ah what was that place, the place that never was, that's right."
"If I remember correctly you were 'taken out' too, Axel."
"And if I remember correctly you tried to kill us all." Riku said. Terra,Ventus and Aqua looked unimpressed and confused.
"Cut it out, we're all stuck here so we might as well play nice." Cloud said.
Demyx sulked and huffed as he walked off to go get food with his fellow ladies. Roxas was a deep shade of red. The men walked to the other side of the island.
"Alright so we got a shack with two floors here." Sora said, pointing toward it.
"We have the tree house above the secret place with a large balcony." Riku said. "The tree house could probably fit five or six comfortably and shack can hold four per floor."
"That leaves five of you sleeping with the seagulls unless we really wanna get up close and personal." Axel says, putting his arms around Sora and Riku's shoulders.
"Not happening," said Riku as he pushed Axel over the edge and into the water. Axel freaked out as soon as he touched the water and immediately leaped back onto the shore. He wasted no time using his powers to dry himself off, glaring at Riku as he did so. "Fine, I didn't wanna get up close and personal with you anyways," Axel muttered to himself.
"The rest could sleep in the secret place?" Said Sora.
"Where is this secret place you keep mentioning?" Sephie said looking around the island.
"It's just a small cave that would make a better fridge than a bedroom since it's so cold " Riku said, shooting down Sora's idea.
"Well then we still have a problem with sleeping arrangements, speak up if you're open to sharing." Leon said. Axel raised his hand immediately but none of the other guys made no attempt to offer themselves."Well, guess I'm the only friendly one here," Axel said, putting his hands behind his head and heading off to decide where he would sleep. The group ignored him.
"Until we build onto one of the shacks the rest of us can stay in the throughway to the other side of the island," said Riku.
"It will have to do. We can cut some wood down and start making planks for another structure," said Terra. Everyone looked at him, not sure what to think of him suddenly making his presence known.
"I hate to ask this but who are you?" Marluxia asked.
"My name is Terra, this is Ventus and our other friend is Aqua." Terra said. Ventus looked uncomfortable.
"Yeah I know your names but why are you here? Because I don't think I've seen you before and that one looks a lot like Roxas," Marluxia said, pointing at Ventus.
"Same as all of you, our memories are too tainted to submerge back into our own world."
"Whatever," Marluxia said fixing his hair. He pulled a pink mirror out of his cloak and began admiring himself, going off into his own world.
"Ignore him, he's just pissy because he doesn't have his fancy hair products anymore," said Saiix.
"Alright, so that sounds like a plan. Sora you grab Yuffie and make the actual sleeping arrangements, she needs to feel important somehow," Leon paused eyeing Sephiroth and Saiix, "make sure to put people together that get along."
"Alright I can do that." Sora said and he went to find Yuffie.
Meanwhile, the girls were wandering around the other side of the island looking for food.
"There's coconuts everywhere!" Selphie stated.
"Yeah well I have had enough of those," Kairi said. "I think we're better off fishing and seeing what we can plant. We also have eggs, mushrooms and fresh water."
"We can manage." Aerith said scanning the island for other possible resources.
"Worst come to worse we can catch and eat seagulls but I think we're better off taking their eggs..." Yuffie stated, skipping around.
"Hey Yuffie." Sora yelled as he climbed through the passageway by the stairs.
"Poor Sora, couldn't handle all that manpower, could ya?" Yuffie smirked. Sora went to say something, but then stopped and scowled at her.
"Leon said we're making the sleeping arrangements."
"Alright! Lets do this! I've got the perfect plan for this!" She said and punched the air and gave Roxas an evil smirk.
"I'm not gonna make it off this island alive. " Said Roxas covering his reddening cheeks with his hands.
"Don't get your hopes up, none of us are getting of this island dead or alive." Larxene said.
"Yuffie, you go help Sora...and don't do anything stupid." Aerith said
In unison, both Sora and Yuffie said "I can't promise that!"
"Why did we have to get stuck on this tiny island? I mean, there are a lot of other people with tainted memories and a lot of other places, so why here?" Demyx whined.
"We're here because there is a strong attachment to this island. And who's to say there isn't other places like this." Aqua said.
"Aerith what are we going to do about clothing?" Selphie asked.
Aerith taken, aback said, "Excuse me?"
"You know what i mean. We can't stay in the same cloths forever and I'm sure those black cloaks are heavy, and not to mention hot," Selphie said.
"When the time comes there's some cloth up in the tree house, I think there is enough for at least something for everyone and the old organization members don't need their cloaks. They all have at least two layers under, if not more."
"How do you move in those things?" Selphie asked Larxene, who gave her a death glare. Selphie quickly dropped the subject.
