It was early morning, the remnants of party goers thinning. Sora sat in his room, exhausted. Once you dance… you can't stop.

Roxas was moaning in the bed beside him. A little too much soda, and there you have it; sugar overload. Poor, poor Roxas.

Sora was sitting on the bed, looking at the papers in front of him. He had asked Leon about the books in the library, and Leon had happily given them. Well, the only reason he was happy was because he was drunk beyond belief.

Also, a folded picture of a blue haired boy holding hands with a black haired girl, with an angel girl floating above them was to the side of the papers.

The only journal he didn't have was the one Saix took, but seeing as no one had heard from either Saix or Auron all day, Sora figured it wasn't a good idea to search him out.

This mystery was racking his mind. The clues, the hints… it was driving him wild, so now, he was trying to quell it. By reading all the books over, he would be able to summarize to the others what it said, and thus come closer to the truth. Maybe it would help Saix remember a little.

The picture intrigued Sora. It was so childish, so simple, but so deep as well. In the journal entries, the girl kept talking about an angel named Hinode. Sora thought back to the keyblade Hinode. Perhaps the girl in the picture was the angel Hinode? Or just what the little girl thought Hinode would look like?

Thinking of symbolism, the holding of the little girl's hand meant that the boy, Sai, was important to her and their relationship was close. Because she was walking a little ahead, that meant she was leading him, somewhere. The angel was floating laxly, just smiling. This meant that she had no reason to worry, right? Also, the fact she was above them insinuated that she was watching over them. Was Hinode a guardian?

Oddly enough, every single signature in the journals was gone. It was as if someone had gone back after they were written and erased the name. What was that about?

After rereading a certain passage for the third time, Sora lightly tore the page out. It seemed important; he'd keep it with the picture and the keychain. Speaking of that…

Sora summoned his keyblade, extending it before him. Right now, it had a half sun on the end, pointing up, and two curves came from the sun and wrapped around the blade. The handle was a crescent moon that was bent, and finished connecting to one of the curves. This was the key's Hinode form. Removing the chain, he placed Hinode with the entry and the pictures; his big clues.

Sora reached into his pocket to remove Ultima. But then, he decided against it. With a reverent smile, Sora removed Bond of Flame instead.

"Go to sleep, Sora." Tifa appeared in his doorway. Sora looked up to her with tired eyes, and nodded, yawning and rubbing his eyes. Removing the journals and setting them by his bed, Sora put the drawing, the keychain, and the journal entry in his jean pocket.

"Night." He told Tifa as she nodded and shut the door.

"Night."

"Sora!" Someone called. "Sora!"

Sora leapt up in bed, looking around frantically.

"Sora!" Sora looked to the doorway. Riku was standing there, smug, and a bit tired.

"It's noon already. You've slept half the day." He chuckled. Sora moaned and rolled in bed, going back to sleep.

"Oh no you don't." Riku chuckled and ran up, sweeping the blanket back. Sora mumbled and curled into a ball, eyes squinting.

And with that, Riku got an evil look.

"RIKU, YOU MORON! PUT ME DOWN!"

Riku went down the front steps with Sora fighting him, as he had thrown the smaller boy over his shoulder. Sitting at the end of the staircase was Luxord, Xigbar, and Xaldin, who grinned at the sight.

"Dun dun dundun, dun dun dundun, dun dun dundun dun dundun dun dundun!" Xigbar and Xaldin cheered, with fake batty eyes, while Luxord cracked up. Riku grinned to them and waved like he was a King with his princess, about ready to crack up himself.

Cloud was standing with Kairi near the fountain, watching in awe and amusement as Sora tried and failed to fight Riku off. And so, when he got to the fountain, in the key keeper went!

Of course, Riku didn't realize Sora had his collar until it was too late.

And so, both boys went flying into the fountain, everyone around them roaring (Xaldin, Xigbar, and Luxord laughing loudest). When Riku rose from the water, sputtering, Sora pointed at laughed, and Riku laughed as well. Xigbar strode over, bending onto one knee and throwing his arms apart.

"You may now kiss the bride!" Xigbar said, half laughing, half speaking. Riku glared playfully at him, and then looked to Sora. The two nodded, grinning evilly. And with that, Xigbar went head first into the fountain.

"Three?" Luxord stifled a heavy laugh. "On the honeymoon? Ohhh…" Xaldin cracked up, chest heavy, and Luxord smirked, proud of himself. Sora laughed at Xigbar's soaked hair that stuck out in all different directions.

"Funny, eh? As if. This is funny!" And with that, Xigbar leapt onto Sora, pummeling him.

Luxord was finding it hard to breathe now. "Get… Get a room!" He roared, guffawing. Xaldin's eyes went wide as he slapped his knees.

Kairi shook her head at the group of boys and boyish men.

"What a way to wake up." She sighed contently, looking up to Cloud. With an amused smile, he shrugged.

"At least we woke up at all." He replied.

Love is in the air….

Stop singing.

Shut up, Axel, cause I don't care…

Uhhn…. stop!

LURVE IS IN THE AIR!

Are you done now?

Nope. LUUUUURVE…

AHHHH!

Ok, ok, I'm done. But lurve is in the air.

With who! Bleh…

With…

Vexen.

EWWWWW!

HAHA! I make me laugh.

Vexen sighed into his cup of coffee. He'd pretty much dove into his research recently, completely oblivious to the outside world. He couldn't handle it at the moment.

He had a heart?

Perhaps it was a frozen heart of winter, but it was a heart, nonetheless.

And perhaps it had begun to feel?

"Sir? Mr. Vexen, sir?" Vexen gulped quietly, spinning around and gaining composer.

"What is it… Ariel?" Every time he saw her, he lost his ability to think. What was this?

Ariel was a maid in the household, and when the other maids refused to clean Vexen's room ( quote: "He scared me!") she stepped up to the job.

Her hair was soft like flower petals and the hue of a sunset sky. Beautiful, earthy eyes full of curiosity dove into his soul past her creamed complexion. A few birthmarks dotted her face, but what did a few imperfection's matter?

"Mr. Vexen?"

His name had such a ring when she spoke it.

Suddenly, Luxord came running by, a wild grin on his face.

"You will not believe it, It is hilarious, you two need to get down to the fountain, now, you can't miss it!" And with that, he sped on.

Ariel's earthy eyes lit up with curiosity and playfulness, as usual. She looked back to Vexen.

"Let's go see it, Sir!" She smiled brightly, flitting into the hall. With a dreamy expression, covered with icy cold, Vexen whispered.

"Coming."

Vexen: The emotion "love" has begun to grow.

Luuuuurve is in the air…

And I really don't care!

It is eeeevery where….

I'm going to rip out my hair!

LURVE FILLS THE AIR!

I DON'T CARE!

… lol!

Vexen and Ariel appeared at the stairway. Ariel was giggling profusely at the sight of Xigbar, Riku, and Sora splashing around in the fountain.

Vexen's cold mask was back, but his heart was pounding. A small smile found its way to his lips.

"Take that!" Xigbar cried, sending a wave of water at Riku. the boy dodged and flung himself at the older man.

"Enough, childish amateurs! This is how you fight with water!" A new voice cried.

And all at once, the fountain water exploded onto the three.

Demyx stood to the sidelines, grinning at his work. Xigbar came up for air, brushed his ponytail out of his eyes, and set his sights on Demyx. When Sora climbed out of the fountain, he ran for the mullet boy. Demyx then realized he was in deep trouble. Three very violent people were coming for him.

"Get him!" Riku cried, leaping out the fountain. This is were Demyx screamed like a sissy boy.

"Come on, Demyx!" Leon laughed, calling to the boy. "Running away again?"

Something inside the boy twanged. He stopped running, and awed look on his face.

"Nope." He smiled. Spinning around, he summoned his sitar and attacked. "TAKE THIS!"

The emotion "brave" is growing.

Xigbar yelled and leapt away when the tsunami came for him. Leon shook his head.

"Kairi." The girl looked up to him and nodded. Stepping up, she spoke.

"OSAWARI!"

Xigbar went headfirst into the fountain, and Demyx crashed into the tile floor. Riku and Sora, confused, looked around. Sora yelped when he realized Kairi was coming their way.

"Run?" Riku whispered. Sora nodded panicky.

"Run!"

The red headed girl rushed after her friends, yelling for them, leaving a befuddled group of RGRC people.

Sulhadahne here. I gots to go! My cousin wants me to swim with her before the reception. Wish the wedding luck!
