-Vexen's Cereal Experiment-

Vexen woke up early in the morning with a yawn. He rolled over, and fell out of bed.

"Oh!" he cried, but the comforter broke his fall. He crawled out from the wad of sheets, and wondered how old he looked to be now. He created an ice patch on the floor, and gazed into it. He could a little boy with long, blond hair staring back at him. He assumed that he was about five, now. He wondered how much more he was going to shrink.

With sigh, he got to his feet, and decided that he wanted to have breakfast. He took a step forward, and- His feet flew out from under him, and he fell hard on the ice.

"Ow..." Vexen groaned, standing back up, manging to make to the door and out. Next, he came to the kitchen. He pulled out a plastic bowl from a shelf that could reach, and went to grab a chair, in order to get the cereal, as it was in a very cabinet, or so he thought. Normally, he could reach it, but because of his new small body, it was going to be more complicated than that. He pushed the chair in front of the cabinet, and climbed up. Vexen reached out to the door to open as best as he could, but it was no use, he just couldn't reach it.

"What are you doing?" a voice said behind him. It startled him so much that he fell of the chair with a loud 'Thud!' Vexen spun around once he was back on his feet, but could see no one. He looked around, confused.

"Up here!" the voice called playfully. He looked up to see Xigbar, standing on the ceiling, his arms crossed.

"I was wondering how long it would take you to notice," he said with a smirk, then repeated what are you doing?"

"I was trying to reach the cereal," Vexen replied flatly.

"Well, if you need help, I can help you," he suggested, crossing his arms, "Which one do you want?"

"The one with the marshmallows," Vexen replied.

"O.K..." Xigbar said, opening the cabinet and pulling out the cereal.

"Look out below!" he called, dropping it down.

"Hey, watch out!" Vexen called back. He picked up the box and placed it on the table. He then opened a nearby drawer, pulled out a spoon, and placed it on the table also. Xigbar watched as he sat down and poured the cereal out and into the bowl.

"Aren't you gonna put milk in it?" Xigbar asked him.

"That's what I was going to do next," Vexen answered, walking over and opening the refrigerator. He pulled out the milk, which, thankfully was on a low shelf, and was not very full. With a grunt, he managed to lift it onto the table. He opened it and poured into the bowl some of it's contents. However, he was not content with just milk. So, putting up the milk, he pulled out the chocolate milk, and poured some into his bowl. But he still wasn't satisfied, and, putting the chocolate milk back, he pulled out a bottle of orange soda.

"What are you doing?!" Xigbar exclaimed.

"What? I like orange soda. So, I'm going to try it with my cereal. I trying to experiment," Vexen said, as if it were the most obvious thing.

"So you're like, five or six, and you're still a scientist, or something?" the other said. Ignoring him, Vexen tried to open the bottle, but was unable to so. Aggravated, he shook it. Fizz formed on the top. Liking this reaction, he shook it again, and again. Finally, he tried to open it, and did, unfortunately for poor Xigbar, who was standing directly above him. The soda exploded out of the bottle and soaked both boys.

"I'm telling!" Xigbar screamed. Alex ran into the room.

"What's going on-?!" he exclaimed, and his eyes widened, "What in the world did you do?! Go to the bathroom- both of you- where I can clean you up, and stay in there!" He growled under his breath in frustration, as the two ran off. Just then, he turned around to see Axel, crying.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked, bending down to his height.

"I-I'm sorry!" he sobbed, "B-but, I-I burned the c-curtains!"

"You what?!"
