Chapter
7: Cookies For Sale and Lemonade Stand
Once again, Roxas was bored. Except today was one hell of a hot day in The Castle That Never Was. Axel was seemingly enjoying it, where Demyx had taken up the 'responsibility' of creating a 'water park' in one of the halls, much to Xemnas' discontent. Xigbar and Marluxia seemed to be having a good time, though. Larxene just didn't give a plain damn. Now, one may ask the question whether the Organization actually keeps their robes on during this ungodly hot weather. The answer: No.
Roxas slowly got out of bed, for the 2nd this morning, and threw on a pair of shorts, and t-shirt. The t-shirt had the saying, "If you want to be ignored, then pretend you don't see me..." written on it. It suited him fine.
He slowly walked downstairs to the usual havoc and chaos of "he touched me," "she hit me," "what did you do to my plants?" and whatnot. Roxas went into the kitchen, walked over to the refrigerator, and opened it. He pulled out some leftover chinese food that Xigbar had ordered the night before from some chinese food place in Twilight Town. Roxas put his nose to it, and smelled it. He wasn't too sure if he should eat it, due to the fact it had an odd smell. Well, there was one person in the castle with a keen 'scent' for those things: Zexion.
Roxas walked down to the library in the castle, with the box of food in hand, and saw Zexion lightly tapping a pencil on the table, staring at a piece of paper. Roxas put the box up on the table, where Zexion had his things. He looked up as if something repulsive sat on the table.
"What is that?" Zexion asked.
"Can you tell me if I can eat this? I can't tell if it's good to eat or what," Roxas replied with a grin. Zexion glared at him.
"Why is it everyone expects me to see if something smells good or not?" he asked. Roxas shrugged his shoulders.
"Because you have a really keen nose?" Roxas said with a chibish grin. Zexion stomped out, slamming a door behind him. Roxas sighed.
"Oh well, it can't be THAT old..." he said as he went and got a fork out of the kitchen...
Meanwhile...
Demyx had gotten bored with the water park, and had decided to go outside of the castle and set up a lemonade stand. Why? Who the hell knows? He had gotten everything he needed: Lemons, sugar, water, cups, and whatnot. Now, all he needed was some customers. So, he sat and began to wait for customers...
3 Hours Later
3 little girls with a wagon rolls up, a few feet away from Demyx's lemonade stand. The wagon contained a box of Girl Scout cookies, ranging from Tag-alongs, Mint, Snickerdoodles, and other kinds of sweetness. Demyx had to admit that the cookies did look good, and all he had was the lemonade. Suddenly, he had an idea.
"Hey! I'll trade you some of my lemonade for some boxes of cookies!" he yelled. The little girls looked at him.
"Eww!" the first girl said.
"We're not selling our cookies to you!" the second little girl replied.
"And besides, our cookies are for customers who want to donate, not ugly looking kids!" the third girl chimed in.
Demyx looked shocked at this. One could only do one thing in this situation, without losing their head when one is hungry.
Back in the Castle That Never Was...
"I wonder where Demyx went?" Xigbar thought out loud. Marluxia just shrugged.
"Perhaps he went to reconsider what he did to the hall, and has decided to grovvle before the Superior."
"Phft. Fat chance," Xigbar replied. Just then, the main doors to the castle opened, and Demyx ran in, slamming the doors behind him. Xigbar and Marluxia just stared.
"What did you do now?" Marluxia asked. "And what are those boxes in your hands?"
Demyx looked beaten up pretty badly, but looked as if he had scored a great victory.
"Whatever...you do..." Demyx gasped, "Do...Not...Open...The...Doors...No matter how hard someone is banging on them!"
"Dude, are those girl scout cookies you got there?" Xigbar asked.
