Forbidden sighs and stretches lazily in her bed.
"Hmm…. Did I forget to do something today?" She wonders out loud as she glances around the room.
Forget to clean her room? Nope, it was clean. …ish.
"Maybe some homework…" She checks her wall planner but she could put off the philosophy project for another day or two.
"Try Axel's Pranks and Prejudice." A voice tells her. A light bulb flashes near Forbidden's head as she remembers.
"OH! The Box chapter! Now I re-…" She glances up and the entire cast of the show were standing with angry glares on their faces. Somehow they had all managed to cram themselves into the tiny room and without her noticing.
"…. I am so in trouble." Forbidden says with a sheepish smile. Axel summons his chakrams.
"Oh yeah, you are."
Studio
The gang, carrying a struggling Forbidden, marches through a Corridor of Darkness.
"Ready to start, Biddy?" Axel asks as they dump her on one of the couches.
"You wouldn't even let me change out of my pajamas?" Forbidden demands coldly as she gestures to the plaid pants and baggy T-shirt. Roxas struggles not to laugh and shakes his head.
"It's the middle of the afternoon!" Zexion says in a disgusted voice as Forbidden flips him off with an eye roll to boot.
"I think they're nice." Xion says in an encouraging voice. Forbidden shrugs and pulls out the keyboard.
"Explain why you haven't been here, Biddy?" Axel says as he cleans his fingernails with a point on his chakrams. Forbidden gives him a glare.
"I happened to be working on my stories for Fiction Press. Got it? Now that I'm back… We can get this show off of hiatus and back on the air!" Forbidden poses with her fingers ready to type.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen! Today we have a special show for you… The Box Special! We take the contents of this little box… and let our fellow KH cast members have it! I wear ladies underwear!" Axel says, clapping his hand to his mouth in shock at the last statement. Forbidden chuckles evilly and smiles innocently at his glare.
"This is all thanks to AceTrainer9642… who wouldn't stop bullying Forbidden about doing this chapter. So here's to you!" Xion proclaims.
"And to organizationgirl13...hope you enjoy what took me so damn long, my friend." Forbidden adds as Roxas rips open an envelope.
Okay, I give you a prank box. It has a Colin Mochrie standee, an iPod loaded with Ke$ha (OMG TORTURE), a fishing pole, The Hobbit, two green light sabers (you see what I'm getting at), a PMSing Pikachu, a picture of Reno, a fake picture of Marluxia in a towel signed to Luxord (LOL), and finally a tent full of cookies, cake, pie and sweets that will explode when someone says "YUM!"
"Oh good God, I'm gonna have a headache after this." Forbidden moans as she rubs her temples.
Everyone ignores her as the box appears in the studio.
"Can I have the iPod after? You know, after we torture someone with it and I erase the songs?" Roxas asks as he cradles the mint green personal listening device thoughtfully.
"I don't care." Axel tells him as he pulls out the fishing pole. He grins and glances over at Zexion, the only one not rummaging through the box, reading his book.
He whispers his plan to Roxas and Xion who grin evilly.
Five minutes later, The Hobbit was safely attached to the end of the fishing pole. Axel lowers the thick paperback near Zexion's face. He jiggles the book annoyingly until Zexion looks up.
"What the hell are you doing to that book?" Zexion demands angrily as he grabs at the book furiously.
"Catchin' me a rare purple pigmy emo!" Axel says in a fake Australian accents as he jiggles the book just a few feet above Zexion. The furious Nobody sits up and tries again to get the book.
"GODDAMN AXEL! GIVE ME THE BOOK!" Zexion screams, immediately furious. Everyone stares in shock as they watch the strange scene unfold.
"We see here is the rare purple pigmy emo's natural habitat… the couch where everyone sits and leaves their stuff." Xion narrates in an equally as fake accent as Roxas readies the earphones carefully.
"I AM NOT SHORT!" Zexion shouts as he finally manages to grab the book by a corner of its flimsy cover.
"Now!" Roxas makes his move and jams the duct taped covered ear phone into Zexion's ears and cranks up the volume.
"…. " The effect was instantaneous. Zexion falls to the floor, dead of a heart attack.
The entire cast was silent.
"HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?" Forbidden demands to Axel. Axel looks at the song that had been playing. It was Tik Tok by Kesha.
"Ooooh."
"Hey, isn't that called manslaughter?" Namine asks innocently. Axel and Roxas glance at each other in fear.
"I ain't going back to jail!" Axel yells as he pulls out a smoke bomb. He throws it to the floor which instantly filled the room with smoke as he escaped.
"I'm too emo to survive in jail!" Roxas proclaims as he jumps out the window.
"Roxas, this is the 50th floor!" Namine says in worry as Roxas stands in midair for a moment. He grins sheepishly and laughs.
"Oops." He starts to scream as he begins to plummet uncontrollably down the tower's outside.
"Uh… I'll just rely on my Cuss Jars for bail!" Xion says, leaning back in her seat happily. Forbidden slams her palm into her forehead and points to Namine. Namine nods and walks over to the still twitching corpse.
"Heal!" She says, creating the biggest Curaga she could manage. That with a Phoenix Down thrown by Demyx, Zexion immediately sits up.
"… Did I just see the light?" Zexion demands in shock as he rips off the earphones. Xion smiles.
"HA! I told you there was a light!" She tells Demyx who scowls and hands her his wallet. Forbidden taps her fingers impatiently against the coffee table.
"Can I go back to my nap?" She asks with a scowl.
"No." Zexion tells her. She twitches violently.
"Now I'm pissed." She snaps her fingers as several loud explosions start happening.
Meanwhile….
Axel, who had managed to escape from the cops that had suddenly appeared in the area, flinches as two figures walk up to him.
"Time to get pwned!" One shouts as he goes into a battle pose.
"Oh no…" Axel flinches as they charge towards him.
A second meanwhile….
Roxas on the other hand continues to fall endlessly (screaming his head off all the way)until two green light sabers suddenly appeared beneath him and slammed him up like two props in a pinball machine. He flew up, past the clouds that usually surrounded the taller towers, and slammed right into and through the roof of the Studio that Never Was.
The two buddies slam through the room (and the floor in Axel's case) and land in total shock directly in front the cast.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET TO THE STORY!" Forbidden yells. The members of the Organization jump and nods.
"Yes sir!" They chant in unison, stiffening into military like stances.
"Alright men… and Xion. We need a battle strategy. We need to freak Xemnas out… using only this box!" Forbidden says in rough imitation of a general's voice. To prove her point, she had on a baseball cap. She kicks at the box and waits.
"Yes sir?" Axel says in mild confusion. Wasn't he the host of the show?
"Well, men …and Xion!" Xion laughs at Forbidden constantly having to mention of her name and then stiffens back into "attention".
"We need Roxas and Axel to sneak this cardboard dude into Xemnas's shower! DO I MAKE MAHSELF CLEAR?" Forbidden bellows loudly, purposely bringing in a Southern drawl to make herself clear.
"YES SIR!" The two scamper off.
Xemnas's Bathroom
"Hey… how did she do that?" Roxas asks in a shocked voice as they finish setting up the cardboard standee of the comedian Colin Mochrie up. Axel shrugs.
"I duuno, I guess she's a general today. … Tab AB into slot 12.… What the hell?" Axel explains in a confused voice as he finally manages to jam the last flap into the last fold.
"There. …. Who's Colin Mochrie?" Roxas asks. Instantly, Axel looks around.
"Shh… If Ace Trainer hears you, we'll all die." He whispers cautiously.
"Right… Shh." Roxas nods and finishes setting it up with a camera attached to one of the staring eyes. They both close the shower curtain and hurry out of there.
Five Minutes Later
Xemnas hums happily to himself.
After an extremely stressful day of trying to find out just who it was who was pranking everyone left and right and sideways too, he had earned himself a nice long hot shower.
"Ah…." Xemnas sighs in bliss at the mere thought of it. With a bar of soap in hand, a CD player playing the most soothing classical music he could find, and a private bathroom, he was ready to pamper himself with the nicest shower a Nobody could get in the Castle That Never Was.
With these blissful thoughts in mind, Xemnas opens up his rubber duck patterned shower curtain.
The following scream of absolute horror was heard throughout the entire castle. As was the loud thunk of Xemnas's skull smacking to the tiled floor of his bathroom in a puddle of his own…. Well, you guys imagine what happened.
Studio
"Xemnas is afraid of cardboard cutouts…. Dutifully noted." Axel says with a cruel smile as he scribbles down the phobia into a small red notebook.
"Yup, it's because Xigbar decided to get even with him for taking away the gun range so he followed him around with a Kevin Bacon cutout for three weeks." Xion explains with a smile. Everyone stares at her.
"And how do you know that?" Namine asks curiously. Xion shrugs.
"He gave me an ice cream bar to carry the cutout and follow Xemnas when he went to the store."
"Oooooooh." Everyone pictures the scene and stifles laughter.
"Okay… I'm gonna get some cookies." Demyx says as he walks towards the tent of treats.
As soon as he gets to be within five inches away, Zexion whispers:
"Yum."
The tent EXPLODES, sending Demyx flying into the couch, charred and burned.
"YOU A-" Demyx launches into a long series of complex swears and curses.
"… Can someone do all that?" Roxas asks Axel in shock as they listen in awe.
"No way…. Not at once, anyway." Axel says calmly. He was deeply impressed.
"So… what do we do with the- EWWW!" Xion shrieks in horror as she finds the picture of Marluxia in a towel and immediately drops it. She gets as far away from it as she possibly could without leaving the room.
Namine hands her a paper bag when the little Replica starts to hyperventilate.
"… He's not THAT bad!" Axel says as he picks up the overturned picture. His eyes widen as he flips it over again.
"I pity Luxord…" Axel says as he turns green. With a snap of his fingers, the picture was on its way.
Luxord's Room
Luxord, as usual, was playing a nice game of solitaire.
No one in the Castle would allow him to play a REAL game so he was stuck with this. … He was also out of cash to play internet poker with.
"Hmm?" A scrap of paper appears by his hand as he flips over the Jack of Diamonds. Luxord flips it over.
"OH DEAR SWEET GOD!" Luxord runs for the bathroom where he immediately starts throwing up. The picture itself curled up in a puff of smoke as it spontaneously combusts, leaving nothing behind but ash.
Studio
"You sir are a sick man." Axel snarls as Xion hits his face with a picture of Reno. She had attached it to the fishing pole and was slowly driving Axel insane with it.
"Yeah… you never said anything about the picture soooo we improvised on how it looked." Forbidden explains as she keeps reading from a stack of books she had left in the Studio for just this reason.
"GODDAMN IT XION, I'M GOING TO STAB YOU WITH A FUCKIN' FORK IF YOU DON'T STOP!" Axel screams, finally snapping.
"Do you have a fork?" Xion demands. Axel stares at her.
"No…." He admits reluctantly.
"Goodie!" Xion keeps tapping him with the picture. The air around Axel sparks with flames as the picture catches on fire.
"Hehehehe." Axel chuckles evilly Xion starts to cry a little which has Roxas summoning his Keyblades to defend his friend.
"Anywhos! Let's go see what our little Pikachu friend has been doing." Namine says in a strangely eager voice.
"She's only acting like this cause Larxene's the one who's getting pranked with it." Demyx explains as he continues to strum his sitar.
Larxene's Room
Larxene looks from behind her book.
Okay, it was still there.
The second it turns to look at her, she hides behind the book again.
"Why is there a Pikachu?" She groans to herself. The Pikachu itself looked PISSED; it kept sparking electricity uncontrollably.
And it had a bright pink bow around one ear for some reason….
"Pika!" The little mouse Pokemon snarls as it toddles over to her.
"I'm willing to make a deal. You leave me alone… I'll feed you. How about it?" Larxene says finally. The Pikachu nods.
"Chaaaaaa!" It agrees as it scurries underneath her bed.
"….Good." Larxene opens up her book again and lies down.
"OOOOOWWWWW!" She howls in pain as the Pikachu's electricity starts conducting through the metal frame of her bed, sending her into an uncontrollable seizure.
Studio
"Did we get everything?" Forbidden asks as she looks up from 'Angels and Demons'. Everyone doubles checks and nods.
"Yup, we're done." Axel tells her with a satisfied smile. He was happy that he finally got to prank someone.
"HOORAY! I'm going to bed; night!" Forbidden summons up a blanket and immediately conks out.
"Heh, that means we get to wake her up as violently as we can tomorrow morning." Axel says with a wicked smile.
The lights go off as the Nobodies walk off to bed, yawning sleepily. Forbidden opens a sleepy eye and grins evilly as she pulls out a Magic Marker. She pops the top off.
"Wake ME up…. As if!"
