I apologize for Xemnas in the last chapter. That was some major OOC. But, hopefully he will make up for that in this chapter.

Thanks to ChibiToph for the first review!

If anyone spots any mistakes in my stories please tell me! I'm very picky. Also. There are only twenty-four members in the Organization because, like I said Zexion is gone and thus, no clone. If PoisonHeart's story goes in a different direction then how I'm guessing it might go (it's a bit of a collaborative) then I will come up with another way to explain Zexion's abscence. But for now, please enjoy the latest edition to TCC.

Lunchtime in the castle was even more hectic than it was before, with just the original thirteen members. Now there were twenty-four members to feed with the addition of the clones.

As usual, a full scale ballroom brawl had began. Mizu and Demyx were hiding under the table, protecting themselves from getting clocked by any fists or kung-fu style kicks. Xaldin and Xigbar were in a wrestling match over the last can of ravioli. Kizuato, Saikoro, Mushi, Kazan, Tsuki and Uzu had devised an arm wrestling tournament over the only package of chicken flavored ramen left in the castle. Marluxia and his clone, Hana, were chasing down Roxas and his clone, Hikari, for the box of taquitos, which turned into a game of Marly in the Middle.

Lexaeus and his clone, Kyojin, stood in the kitchen's doorway shaking their heads, all while munching down on the bag of chips they had managed to snag in all the hullabaloo. Axel, Luxord, Saix and Saisho were arguing over who deserved to get the last Hot Pocket, until Larxene stole it. This resulted in a mass dog piling followed by a fist fight between the five. Vexen and his clone, Kichigai, were protecting their stash of candy bars, armed with their shields and some rather large knives.

Xemnas entered the kitchen only to find it in complete chaos. He shook his head and took a deep breath," SILENCE!" He yelled. Everybody immediately stopped what they were doing and all eyes were on the Superior.

"It appears we need to go shopping." Xemnas said with a sigh. Every last face in the room took on a look of horror and annoyance.

"Please tell me all of us aren't going." Axel groaned. as he tried to escape from the bottom of the dog pile.

Xemnas nodded," Yes, number eight. All of us are going."

A chorus of groans emanated from the group.

Mushi stepped forward, rubbing the back of his head," So, how are we gunna get there, man? I mean, there's like twenty-four of us." he said, in his usual hippy drone.

Kizuato snorted," With our mighty expanding van, how else?" she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Mushi turned to his Original," We have a van?"

Larxene just rolled her eyes and shook her head," We can teleport, Mushi. Why would we need a van?" He shrugged,"Um…I dunno."

"Well, let's get this over with." Xemnas stated. With that, all twenty-four members of the Organization teleported to their local Supermarket that Never Was.

"Listen up!," Xemnas ordered," Get what you need and check-out but, only get what you need. Got it?" The other twenty-three nodded. Xemnas motioned for them to go. He turned to Saisho,"I have a feeling this isn't going to turn out so good."

The clone nodded," Ditto to that."

Immediately after Xemnas let them go, Kazan, Kizuato, Uzu and Saikoro had all made a mad dash for the noodle isle. They found the ramen with no problem, as if they had some kind of ramen radar or homing device. Each one of them was scrambling over the other to grab one of the twelve pack boxes of ramen. Kazan escaped the onslaught first, holding her box victoriously over her head. Kizuato escaped next with a few minor scratches accompanying her scar. Eventually everyone had a box of ramen clutched obsessively in their arms, eyeing the other group members like bloodthirsty beasts. Meanwhile, over in the frozen foods, Axel, Saix and Luxord were grabbing up as many boxes of Hot Pockets as they could hold, occasionally dropping a box and struggling to pick it up without loosing the rest. Larxene watched and laughed as she picked out Hot Pockets and stuck them in her shopping basket.

Over in the vegetables, Mushi was gathering up ingredients for some soup with Mizu and Demyx. They were soon joined by Lexaeus and Kyojin.

"Hey, you know,"Mushi held up a squash," This might be good in our soup."

"Definitely!" Demyx agreed. And from there on out, that group started talking about what would make good soup and what other recipes they had for various foods.

"Oh, Mushi,"Demyx tapped him on the shoulder," Beware of Xaldin."

Mushi tilted his head to the side," Why?"

"Well," The Nocturne began,"Xaldin has kinda crowned himself as 'king of the kitchen.' Anybody who tries to help him cook almost always ends up hurt or nearly loosing some body part. Xaldin is always saying 'too many cooks in the kitchen ruins the meal' or something like that."

Mushi thought for a minute," Is that what happened to that sniper dude?"

Demyx sweat-dropped,"Uh, that's a different story, Mushi."

"Don't you dare tell him, Demyx!" A voice said from above. Demyx looked up. There was Xigbar, upside-down in midair with a couple packs of ravioli in his arms, glaring at him.

Demyx shrunk under the sniper's gaze," I wasn't gonna tell him. Honest!"

"You better not!" Xigbar hissed as he disappeared into a portal.

Demyx turned back to Mushi,"Watch out for him too. He'll shoot you in the bum just for fun!"

Mushi continued staring at the spot where Xigbar was," Where did he come from? That was trippy, dude."

'Was he even paying attention?,' Demyx thought, with a slightly annoyed look on his face.

After a few hours, everybody had gathered all the food they would need for few more days and lined up at the registers. Xemnas stood with his mouth slightly open in shock, staring at the amount of food the others had managed to obtain.

Saisho had just about the same look on her face," I didn't know they could carry that much."

Xemnas nodded,"Huh, especially since Larxene was the only one to figure out that shopping baskets help."

"Apparently, the others have some long arms." Saisho theorized.

"Or good balance." Her Original added.

All twenty-two members checked out and met up with Xemnas and Saisho near the entrance.

"Does everyone have what they need?" He asked. All of them nodded.

"Well, let's go then!" Xemnas motioned for them to leave.

"Finally." Axel murmured and followed the others.

When all twenty-four members arrived at the castle, twenty-two of them stormed to the kitchen, food in hand and stomachs growling for it. One group fought for the microwave, another for the stove and the brawl started all over again. It was going to be a long afternoon.

Yes, me and PoisonHeart decided to make Mushi a hippy. Why? Because Larxene definitely isn't. Positive reviews are welcomed!
