"I'm actually surprised that the old geezer is letting me walk around like this. For all I know, he could have tried to take me away in a sack and toss me into the closest river."

"I gotta be honest, thought you were going to kill him while he slept," I remarked as I walked with Rauxdi through an alleyway in Twilight Town.

She shrugged as she sucked on the sea salt ice cream she unwrapped.

"I would have to come up with a better plan than that, I wanna catch him by surprise. But then again," She stopped as she made a motion of crunching something in her hands, "I could just beat his pride into the ground and be satisfied with that."

I just shook my head and snorted, "Enough talk about your revenge for him kicking your butt all those years ago. We gotta get back to the others or they'll all melt."

"Alright, although you didn't have to offer to buy everyone's ice cream. Should of paid you back in double," Rauxdi glanced over at me as she saw the bag of dripping cold ice cream as I smiled making a dark corridor with my other hand.

"I wanted to do something nice as everyone didn't try to murder me when I was in a sour mood those weeks back when I was being watched during the summer. Plus, I wanna make the last hurrah before the semester starts!" I explained as Rauxdi followed me into the dark corridor.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night if you wanna spend your munny on all those goobers," She said as we exited the other side of the dark corridor into the Grey Area.

"Hey, they're back!" Demyx cheered as Axel and Roxas raced over to snatch the bag of sea salt ice cream from my hands as they handed them out to the others there.

"You could of said please," I said with a hint of sarcasm as Roxas laughed nervously, "Sorry Audri, we've been dying to eat this with the group like this!"

"Although to be honest, I wouldn't say that is a normal group that would like to hang out," Marluxia said licking his ice cream as Larxene nodded in agreement lounging next to him reading one of her novels.

Marluxia was right. Aside from Rauxdi and I, Demyx, Axel, Roxas, Xigbar, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene were all gathered together hanging out for once. No missions, just too much free time to not be invited to this time ice cream party.

Most of these Nobodies are just freeloading on the fact that Xaldin might have banned them from the kitchen for causing shenanigans over the last day or two, and kind of need something to eat. But who's to judge?

Rauxdi finds herself sitting down on the floor as all the couches were taken up by a majority of the Nobodies as I sat over by Xigbar who was eyeing my ice cream in a lecherous way. "So why are we celebrating with ice cream if we're going still going to see you all the time?" Demyx asked out of curiosity as I smiled teasing Xigbar by waving the ice cream in front of his face.

"To be honest, I heard that college takes a lot of skill to get in and be smart. So I figured as a way to celebrate in a way of saying 'Goodbye childhood' and hello to the big times ahead!"

Axel snorted as Roxas nibbled on his ice cream, "Oh please, what big times? What exactly can a human do back on your world? From all those stupid history books you had for school, it sounded like it was boring for thousands of years."

I just shrugged, as I glanced over at Axel, "I don't know, but who says I won't come across something big and awesome in school? What if I wanted to do something to get rich?" I felt my arm jolt for a second, to see Xigbar taking a bit out of the sea salt ice cream looking up at me with a cheeky grin.

"You snooze, you lose chicka," Xigbar says with his mouth half-full with ice cream as I sighed, "Least I won't get brain freeze." He raised an eyebrow before suddenly pulling back and holding his head with both hands.

Demyx and Roxas laughed as Marluxia shook his head, finishing the last bite of his ice cream. "Have you picked out classes yet?" Larxene asked from behind her novel cover as I nodded counting on my fingers, "Sure did! I got an Acting class, some Math classes, a Language class, and a Speech class!"

"Speech class? The hell type of stuff can they teach in a class like that? How to give a boring ass speech like Xemnas?" Axel groaned as Marluxia shook his head, "If I understood correctly from Audri's papers from the school, it's to help the humans to interact with others around them if they've been outspoken by their peers over the years. It's kind of like a way to make new friends and learning how to speak your mind."

"Oh my god, you're such a nerd Marluxia." Xigbar cackled before Marluxia hit him on the back of the head, "I'm just repeating what the paperwork said."

"If that is the case... Maybe we should make a new identity for Audri. It's the least we can do while we're here right now," Rauxdi said as she crossed her arms behind her head as she lied down to stretch her back.

"Make a new identity?" "Oh you know, just lie about your name, age, where you came from, and make your life sound so fucking awesome," Rauxdi continued to explain as Larxene snickered as she commented, "Like we don't do that already."

I sat there for a moment glancing among everyone as I could see the glimmer of excitement and trouble in their eyes. I sighed and scratched my head, "Where do we start?"

"First-" Rauxdi slammed her hand on a chalkboard we pulled out of Vexen's labs and propped up on the couch where Larxene was lying down, "We should come up with some personality traits."

The rest of the Nobodies including myself were just sitting on the ground as we looked up at Rauxdi and the gloomy empty chalkboard. "Anything? I mean we can throw shit at the wall and see what she can pull off," Rauxdi mentioned as the rest of us shrugged. Rauxdi shook her head in mild defeat until Demyx waved his arm around frantically.

"Alright Demyx, what do you got for me?" "What if we say Audri is a macho bear in disguise?" He shouted with too much enthusiasm as I just looked at him in horror, "Really Demyx?"

"Not exactly a personality trait, more like a... backstory, but we can put that on the board over here," Rauxdi nodded slowly as she scribbled a note on the corner of the chalkboard. Xigbar held up his hand in embarrassment, "What about Audri got into college with her good looks?"

She clicked her tongue against her teeth as the Nobody shrugged before writing on the board again, "Let me expand that by saying Audri is dumb as a rock, and only has good looks." "What the hell guys," I groaned as Larxene just pulled another novel from her jacket, "This might take a while and a lot of roasting. You should probably distract yourself."

I just looked at the book before taking it from Larxene's hands, getting up and going to go sit in the corner away from the others.

Luxord walks into the Grey Area with a grey v-neck, leather pants, and fuzzy slippers. He was holding a pint of Irish coffee about to enjoy the rest of the afternoon but almost jumped back as he noticed a twisted and depressing aura in the room.

"What in the hell," He said as he saw the group of Nobodies arguing over a chalkboard scribbled with different words, and Audri in the corner of the room with her back turned to everyone.

The Gambler took a deep breath before he walked over to the Nobodies first. "What is this all about? What are you all doing," He asked as all the Nobodies, except for Larxene who was paying no attention to the group again, turned to look at Luxord with looks of desperation on their faces.

"Wha-" "We need an anonymous opinion! Can you help us decide," Roxas groaned, running up to Luxord grabbing the front of his shirt shaking him lightly. "As the Gambler of Fate, I would love to help, but I need to know who lost the bet," Luxord said beaming in pride as Demyx and Axel glanced back at Rauxdi.

"Well, we're actually trying to come up with a new identity for Audri. She's starting school soon and we wanted to make her look like a badass, but..." Rauxdi started to talk as Xigbar stepped up to Luxord from the side, "These morons are making her look like a tool with all these weird traits they think she needs."

Luxord just looked at everyone there before glancing over at Marluxia who was still facing the chalkboard. "What's your opinion on this entire situation Marly? This is what these muppets have been doing for how long now?" Luxord asked as Marly glanced back at him with bags under his eyes, "We've all been at this for three days. She starts school tomorrow."

"Nope, not doing this. I'm out," Luxord started to turn away as he felt a tug on his legs trying to move. "Please help us! We've all gone mad and tired of arguing!" Rauxdi groaned as she wrapped her arms around his legs. He thought about kicking her off and taking off from these tossers, but he saw Audri in the corner hitting her head against the wall mumbling to herself.

He sighed as he looked at his pint and downed it in one gulp. He turns to face them all annoyed. "Let's see what we got here," He said as he walked past the Nobodies, stepping over Rauxdi and standing next to Marluxia. He skimmed over the choices on the board and couldn't help but laugh.

From the looks of it, everyone tried to create an ideal version of Audri, but based on their own characteristics and personality traits.

No wonder these tossers were having a hard time, they can't stand to see another one of them running about here! Luxord thought to himself as he glanced back at the group, noticing their faces were full of a mix of exhaustion and desperation that he would pick a category of traits already.

He shook his head as he passed the Nobodies and walked over to the corner I was sitting in. "Audri, snap out of it love. You're going to give yourself a fractured skull," Luxord said as he put his hand in front of my bruised forehead, keeping me from hitting the wall anymore.

He stood me up and walked me in front of the chalkboard. He pointed from over my shoulder to the words on the board and spoke, "All of you are idiots. I get that you all fucked up big time, but no need to pressure her into being a better you."

"But we-"

Luxord just glared at the group, making them shut up immediately as he placed his hands on my shoulders looking down at me, "I know you probably dealt with these idiots a lot the past few days, and I know you are tired of being knocked down and being built up again by others. But, what do you want to do for yourself?"

I looked at the chalkboard, with a half glazed look over my eyes from exhaustion. I took a step away from Luxord's grip as I walked towards the board resting on the couch. I ran my fingers over the words on the chalkboard, dusting it slowly before I pushed the chalkboard.

CRASH

I rubbed my eyes with one hand as I heard Rauxdi and Axel starting to panic. I open my eyes again to see the chalkboard had fallen off the backside of the couch and had shattered into hundreds of tiny slivers and pieces.

I glanced at the group and laughed with a glimmer in my eye, "I want to be a blank slate. I want to make mistakes and learn from them. If you don't like it, then fuck off."

The group of exhausted Nobodies looked at me in shock as Larxene got up with her novel and gave me a thumbs up on her way out the door. Luxord smile about to speak up before a shrill scream came from the doorway.

"M-MY CHALKBOARD! YOU-! YOU IMBECILES! YOU'RE GOING TO ALL PAY FROM YOUR PAYCHECKS!" Vexen shouted as he summoned his shield, in an absolute state of blind rage as he saw the group caught in an awkward predicament.

"I'm out," Rauxdi grabbed Axel and Roxas by the back of their shirts and yanked them through a dark corridor she made. Xigbar jumped through, following the trio. Marluxia and Demyx dived into their own dark corridors as Luxord held his hand out to me with a cracked smile on his face, "Lead the way?"

I laughed as I grabbed his hand, leaning back into my own dark corridor, "Fine by me."

"WAIT, YOU BASTARDS OWE ME A-" Vexen's voice was cut out once the dark corridor was closed.

If anyone is curious, this is the beginning of the new chapter of short stories and shenanigans with the Organization XIII, Rauxdi and Audri. Although I do have a problem:

Audri was and is based on me.

Audri is short for my full name and I wasn't sure if I wanted to rename her during the changes of the first 12 chapters and create a new name for her Nobody as well.

I think most of you who grew up with Kingdom Hearts 2 when it first came out know what I'm talking about as we all got into the game made a Nobody with our own names. Who didn't?

But I didn't change it. I decided to finish writing out the last couple of chapters to see if I still felt the name 'Audri' still spoke to this part of my storytelling. It did and didn't.

I knew it was a sign to move on but I didn't know where to start. So I wrote this chapter, as a brief explanation as a restarting point.

A blank slate, as they say. Where I can give Audri a new name from the next chapter onwards, or stick with the name she now has.

I still plan to make her character development blossom with success and failure as the story progresses.

I never wanted to make a Mary Sue out myself that this was a 'self-insert story' as the author writes about crazy stories with her favorite (and hot?) villains.

But I did and didn't realize it until I found my archived story on here.

I want to change it, but if it is too confusing to change names this late in the game, I understand.

This is the one time I would love to have feedback on this chapter.

As this is an important change I am deciding on, I want to know if you readers care or not if i did change the name.

You can comment on this chapter as a review, or write me a PM. If there happens to be any tie in votes, I will leave it as an anonymous decision to friends that have not read the story and explain my situation.

Again, I can't thank you all enough as I can't wait to keep writing more whacky adventures in this fandom.

With Love,
