Friday the 13th
It's Friday the Thirteenth! I love Friday the Thirteenth! Practically everyone always says thirteen is an unlucky number, but it's my favorite number. Partially for the very reason that so many other people hate it.
When I woke up this morning, and realized it was Friday the 13th I immediately knew I had to stay home. It wasn't difficult to skip school. Roxas is suspended, so he wouldn't be able to say whether or not I was at school. So I pretended to leave for school. Once I was outside I called the school, and acting like Larxene, since my voice couldn't go as deep as anyone else's, I told the school that I was horribly sick, and would not be able to attend today. They bought it of course. Then I snuck back into the castle, and hid. I had to hide; else my brilliant plan would fail. Everyone had to think I was at school.
I had decided to mess with everybody a bit, just for some fun. Make 'em think that Friday the 13th really was unlucky. So I set of a few pranks. Nothing too dangerous mind you, just enough for some laughs.
The first thing I did was find some clear packing tape and tape all the spray nozzles on very single sink in the castle. I also placed some tape over the faucet, so that when the water was turned on, it would spray out onto the person attempting to wash their hands or whatever they were doing. I also turned off the water heater, so the sinks would spray ice cold water. Next I found a ton of clear, heavy duty plastic wrap, and put a strip of it across almost every door at shin height. Simple pranks, I know. But hopefully enough to make everyone in the Organization think they were having bad luck.
My first victim was Zexion. He screamed bloody murder when, after turning on the faucet in the kitchen, he got a face full of icy water. I thought he overreacted a bit, but it was funny nonetheless.
Vexen was next. He was walking into the rec room, a bowl full of popcorn at the ready for a movie marathon. When he reached the door, he tripped over the plastic wrap. The popcorn went flying as Vexen did a face plant into the carpet. I had to leave, I was laughing so hard.
More and more people fell into my little traps throughout the day until I decided to pull my ultimate prank.
Saix was in his office, writing some report. He was drinking a glass of coca-cola. When Saix got up to use the restroom, I went into action.
Biting my bottom lip nervously, I snuck into Saix's office. I pulled out the glass bottle I had hidden in my pocket, and poured the clear liquid into Saix's soda. I heard Saix yell in the restroom, a result of my having taped the faucet. I re-capped the bottle and ran over to the storage closet at the edge of the room. I gently pulled the door shut leaving enough of a crack for me to peek out and see Saix's desk.
Saix sat back down at his desk, wiping his face with a hand towel and mumbling angrily to himself. Saix continued writing then. It wasn't long until he picked up his glass to take a drink. Saix took a big gulp of the soda, and immediately spewed it out all over his desk and reports.
Saix coughed and sputtered, wiping his hand across his mouth furiously, to remove the bad taste. In his haste, he knocked the glass over, spilling it all over his desk.
I placed my hand over my mouth to hold back my laughter. I watched as Saix fumbled, all the while spitting out the tainted soda, before storming out of his office yelling.
I stepped out of the closet and tossed the empty bottle in the air and caught it. Ah, the many wonderful uses of white vinegar.
By the time I 'arrived home' from school, my sides hurt from all the restrained laughter. Everyone was pretty much hiding in their rooms, avoiding all the 'bad luck'.
I made dinner, just chicken, nothing really special. Quite a few of the members asked if I knew anything about the recent bouts of 'bad luck'.
"It's Friday the 13th," I told them. "It's an unlucky day."
Most everyone mumbled worriedly. Saix didn't believe me, nor did Luxord.
"It's true," I told them. "Haven't you paid any attention to life outside this castle?"
Saix frowned at me as Axel smirked into his cup, and Demyx snorted, and then started coughing because he inhaled his food.
After dinner I heard a group of people pass my room. I poked my head out and saw Demyx, Xigbar, Marluxia, and Larxene headed towards Xemnas's office.
I was curious as to what they were doing, because those four didn't normally do ANYTHING together. So I decided to follow them.
When they reached Xemnas's office I stood outside the door and listened. The group was confronting Xemnas about the name of the Organization!
"It's a proven fact!" Demyx cried. "We've all had rotten luck today."
"It must be the number!" Xigbar cried. "Every other Friday is fine! It's got to be the number 13 that's unlucky!"
"As much as I distain the fact that I have something in common with these… I agree with them," Larxene said calmly. "We have to change the name of the Organization. Unless we wish to be saddled with bad luck for the rest of eternity."
"You all know that we are, and shall always remain, Organization XIII. This 'bad luck' business is merely human superstition," Xemnas said sternly. "You are all overreacting. Now out. I have business to attend to."
I smiled and snuck away before they could catch me.
I'm in my room now, about to go to bed. Today was great; as I'm sure every day will be, now that I'm living with such wonderfully entertaining people. I still can't believe I managed to psyche Larxene out. Larxene, who is known for her sense of 'reason', though she is also known for her short temper, and mood swings.
Even if Xemnas did decide to change the Organization's name, what would it then be called? Nobodies Inc.? Organization of Nobodies? Organization XIV minus I? They won't ever change the name, nothing else fits.
Tomorrow marks the one week anniversary of my living here in the castle. Perhaps I should bake a cake in celebration…
Thank you for reading this! Review please! Laters!
