After about thirty minutes of watching a berserking Saix chase Axel all around The World That Never Was, Roxas and the others got bored and decided to help the guy before Saix actually did catch him, and he got beaten to death. Which would not be a pretty sight. It took Xigbar, Lexaeus and Marluxia ten minutes to actually calm Saix down to the point of where he wouldn't actually kill someone if he got a hold of them. Afterwords, they decided to head back inside the castle, except for Saix who went back to stringing the lights.
"Well, that was eventful." Axel stated as he and the others walked into the castle.
"Yeah dude, I totally thought he was going to catch you there for a few minutes!" Xigbar chuckled, which earned a weird stare from Axel.
"Him catch me? Please, I could outrun Saix any day."
"Sure you could little dude, sure you could." Axel raised an eyebrow at the word 'little' but shook his head and continued walking.
"So, Axel," Roxas started, walking faster to catch up with his friend, "whatever happened to remaking Jimmy?"
"Jimmy? Oh! Right! Jimmy! I have a new friend now." He reached inside his coat and pulled out a little ball of white fur with long ears and a fluffy little tail. "I call him Jack! Say hi to Roxas, Jack!" Jack twitched his nose and looked at Roxas.
"A rabbit? You brought a rabbit into the castle? Axel, you know Xemnas is going to have a fit if he finds him. " Roxas started petting the rabbit. "But I do admit, he is kinda cute."
"What Xemnas doesn't know wont hurt him, and besides, I needed a new friend." Roxas just glared at him.
"I thought I was your friend..?" Axel shrugged and sat down on the couch, not noticing a still drunken Luxord laying on the floor. Roxas also took a seat beside Axel. "Well, if you're going to keep Jack, he needs a cage, and you also need a place to put him. Like I said, if Xemnas finds him he is probably going to cook Jack for dinner instead of letting you keep him as a pet." Axel gulped at the thought and started petting Jack again.
"We can keep him in my room! I have the perfect place for him, he can stay in my closet. Xemnas never goes in there."
"Gee, I wonder why. With as much stuff as you have in there, I can see why people don't want to set foot in that disaster area you call a 'closet'." Roxas rolled his eyes while Axel just grinned at him. "Anyways, lets go look for a cage for him. Im sure we can find one somewhere here, knowing Vexen, he probably has one." They both got up from the couch and headed down the long hallways towards Vexen's lab. Eventually, they came up a large grey steel door and knocked on it.
"What is it?" A slightly grey haired scientist poked his head out the door. "Axel? Roxas? Oh no, go away!"
"Relax Vexen, we wont mix any chemicals in your lab this time causing a chemical reaction which will destroy your whole labe in the process, we only did that once, and it was by accident. We only need a small little cage for a little friend of ours, and then we will be on our way, and since you're a scientist we figured you would have one." Roxas gasped, seeing as he said all of that in one breath.
"A little friend of yours, eh?" Vexen decided it was best not to ask, just in case. "Very well. Wait right here, i'll go see what I have." He went back inside and shut the door, a few clanks, crashes, and a few mutters from Vexen were heard, and pretty soon he stumbled back out the door with a small cage. "Here we are. I hope this is good enough. Now, shoo, im in the middle of a very important experiment involving !# #$# &(&. Axel and Roxas didn't understand a single word of the last part of the sentence, so they just gave Vexen a weird look. "In your terms, it's an experiment involving very dangerous chemicals that will go boom if mixed, or heated wrong." He sighed.
"Ohhh!" Axel and Roxas both said in unison before Axel took the cage, and headed for his room. A few minutes later, he re emerged from his room, and gave Roxas a worried look and gulped. "Roxas, we, uh, have a problem. Jack kinda, er, isn't in my coat anymore."
"YOU LOST HIM?!" Roxas cried out in shock. "Oh man, this is not good, if someone finds him, they might throw him out, or worse. Give him to Xemnas."
"Relax, relax, he couldn't have gotten too far, lets just start retracing our steps and hope we find him." That being said, they took off in a fast walk down the halls, looking under tables, underneath chairs, and Axel looked in the cookie jar for some reason. He found a cookie, but no sign of the little white rabbit. After thirty minutes of looking, they arrived back in the lounge and sat down on the couch again to rest.
"This is hopeless, he could be anywhere! We've checked all of the rooms, and no sign of him."
"Actually, that's where you're wrong. There is one room we haven't checked." They both looked at each other for a minute.
"You mean.." Axel nodded.
"Xemnas' room." They both gulped, and started heading towards their superiors room, which was at the very end of a very long hallway.
"You sure this is a good idea?" Roxas whispered as they stood outside Xemnas' room.
"Nope. But has that ever stopped us from doing anything before?"
"You have a point." They slowly made their way up to the large white door, which was open just a crack. They peaked inside, and looked around before finally entering. Various torcher weapons were hung on the walls, including swords, axes, maces, and a variety of guns and knives. This made the duo shudder, and they both decided it was best to look as fast as possible for Jack before their superior entered his room. They searched under the bed, under the table, and inside the closet.
"FOUND HIM!" Axel cried from under the bed, before crawling out with a little white ball of fluff in his arms. Roxas sighed in relief, but began to panic when he heard footsteps nearing the room.
"Oh crap. Back under the bed! Hurry!"

Xemnas yawned as he opened the door to his bedroom. He walked lazily over to his bed and sat down, the covers were a little messy for some reason, but he shrugged it off and checked his digital clock on the stand beside his bed.
"3:23, time for my afternoon nap." He yawned again as he leaned back onto his pillow, and started to get comfortable. He thought he heard a slight squeak from underneath the bed, but he assumed he was just hearing things. He closed his eyes and slowly drifted off into happy fun dreamland.

"Is he asleep ye-" Roxas slapped a hand over Axel's moth, and shushed him.
"Be quiet! Do you want him to hear you?" Roxas whispered. "Give it a little more time."
They waited patiently for what seemed like forever, but apparently, Jack got bored and decided it would be a good idea to hop out of his owner's arms and jump across the room.
"Please tell me that did not just happen." Roxas just stared in fear, and wondered if the rabbit was crazy, or just plain stupid. He guessed both.
"Jack! Get back hear right this instant young man!" Axel whispered in a harsh tone, but the rabbit completely ignored him and went about his business, and apparently his business involved leaving little rabbit droppings on Xemnas' carpeted white floor. Roxas almost slammed his head against the ground, but decided not to when he remembered that a sleeping Xemnas was on the bed above them, and if they woke Xemnas, well, lets just say it wouldn't be very pretty.
They slowly crawled out from underneath the bed, and checked to make sure Xemnas was sleeping before making their way over to Jack.
"Good, he's sleeping, now lets get Jack and get the heck out of here." Roxas said as he inched over to Jack, whom just hopped away again. Every time one of them got close to Jack, he would hop away to a different spot. They repeated this game of 'chase the bunny' for what seemed like fifteen minutes, before Jack hopped up onto Xemnas' bed. Axel almost screamed, while Roxas officially clarified that the rabbit, was indeed, crazy. Jack just sat on the pillow right beside Xemnas' head and stared at him while Axel slowly snuck up behind him in an attempt to capture the rabbit.
"Be careful!" Roxas whispered, Axel nodded and inched closer and closer to the rabbit, before finally grabbing him and holding him close.
"Oh Jack, thank goodness! What in the world were you thinking?" Axel scolded the rabbit, and they began to slowly make their way out of the room.
"That rabbit of yours is pretty crazy. But he has guts, not even I would think of sneaking into Xemn-" Roxas was interrupted when he tripped on the leg of the bed, falling face first onto the ground with a loud THUD. Everyone stopped moving for a minute, while Xemnas sat up quickly, obviously still half asleep. Thinking quickly, Axel started singing a soothing song, and eventually lulled Xemnas back to sleep. Roxas stood back up and brushed himself off, looking around acting like he didn't just trip on the bed. Axel tried not to laugh at his friend.
"And you said I was clumsy."
"Oh shut it Axel. The bed was just in the way, that's all. It's not my fault." Roxas rolled his eyes, and they eventually made it to the door, slipping back out into the halls quietly. When they were in the hallway again, they lightly shut the door back and burst into a run, heading for Axel's room to put Jack in his new cage.

"10, 11, 12. There. 12 rows of lights on this part of the castle. Now to do the other sides." Saix let out a sigh as he descended the ladder, and looked at his finished work. The lights were strung quite nicely on the front of the castle, lighting up with a mix of red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Saix smiled at his work, and made his way to the left side of the castle with the ladder and the slightly less heavy box of lights in hand. "One side down, three to go." He mumbled.

A/N: There ya go! Chapter 3 is done. I was pretty mean to Jimmy the snowman last chapter, so I figured it was necessary to give Axel a new pet A.K.A 'Friend" as he calls it. If I was looking for a rabbit, I would look inside a cookie jar too just like Axel did. Mmm. Cookies. Gotta love 'em. Anywhomadihooha, I shall now get to work on Chapter 4, which should be up by Wednesday, and at the latest, Thursday. Ciao until then!
Next Chapter: Zexion and Demyx decide to put up and decorate the Christmas tree! Huzzah!
