A/N: I'm SO sorry I took so long to update! I have a lot of stuff to do this week…our yearbook pages all got deleted and they're due on Friday, no extensions possible. I've also got a HUGE English project, a packet for History, and my Science Current Event is this Thursday! (wish me luck! I hate public speaking…everyone just stares at you like, Entertain me…now…do it!) Also, I'm apparently a valedictorian for right now…um, at least until my C+ test is turned in to the report cards…XD. So I'm stressed about possibly having to do a speech for graduation, which I probably won't, but STILL! So, sorry if I don't update as much this week. I'm a bit busy…Anyway, here's your chappy, and I'll try to update soon, mkay?

I got up and rubbed my eyes, sleepy. I'd fallen asleep at the computer desk, face pressed flat against the keyboard. The Sora Song was still playing through the speakers. I groaned and switched them off.

I forced myself off of the warm, comfortable chair and walked over to the full-length mirror, nearly tripping over Kaede, who had passed out on the floor, propped against the edge of the bed.

Carefully, I studied myself in the mirror. Oh GOD! Was that rat's nest really my hair? Were those the keys on the keyboard printed on a good half of my face? And, worst of all, was that really spit dried on my face? Ew. I ran into the bathroom and washed my face, but the keyboard marks would not go away, and my hair just wouldn't lie flat. I settled for a messy bun and studied myself in the mirror again.

That keyboard sure made a lasting impression…on my face.

I groaned and turned away from the horrible image, re-entering the bedroom and studying the others. Kaede was sprawled out on the floor, Cloud was laying next to her, Sora had passed out on a bigger chair near mine, Akako had fallen asleep with her face pressed against the glass window. Roxas was standing next to her, propped against the wall with his head drooping as he slept. Yuki was sitting on top of the dresser, legs crossed and head nodding. Her white earbuds were still in her ears, and I could hear the music coming out of them. I wondered how she could sleep with her music so loud. Chiho was curled into a tiny ball under the blankets, being the only one who actually got in bed. And Ren was…wait a sec. Where was Ren?

I ran around them, trying to wake them up. I unplugged Yuki's headphones, nudged Kaede until she woke up (but left Cloud alone because he still had his sword in his hand), shoved Akako so she knocked over Roxas too, and then went over to Chiho.

"WAKE UP!" I shouted at them. "REN IS GONE!"

"So…" Kaede tipped her head, implying that I was to finish the sentence.

"So, he's not here," I said slowly. "So, he wasn't with the group last night!"

"So, neither is Lena," added Yuki, glancing around through narrowed eyes.

Roxas snorted. "And what, exactly, would Ren and Lena be doing all alone somewhere?"

He got tons of pillows thrown at him, and one of Yuki's used-up iTunes cards. Akako slapped his arm, mumbling something to him that none of us could hear.

"Okay, there is officially something wrong with him," I said loudly.

"Duh," Sora said. "But are you really one to talk?"

I threw another pillow at him, half-laughing. Then I noticed Chiho had only curled up further under the covers. She was now nothing but a tiny ball in the middle of the bed. I groaned and walked over, poking her. "Chi-chi, come on! You gotta get up."

Somehow, Chiho managed to bite my finger through the thick blankets that covered her.

"Damn it, you little demon child!" I muttered under my breath, glaring at my finger.

"Jeez," Sora said, examining first the teeth marks on my finger, then the lump that was his little sister. "She bites hard."

"You're telling me?" I asked him, waving my hand around.

"Shake it off," Yuki teased, rolling her eyes and smirking.

"Shut up!" I looked for a pillow to throw at her, but they were all piled at Roxas's feet.

We laughed, and Chiho finally sat up. Her tiny body shot up, making a slightly taller version of the lump she'd been before. From under the blankets, we heard her say, "Hey! What the-?"

She wriggled her way out, squinting in the bright afternoon sunlight. "Gah!" She blinked a few times, rubbing her eyes with her closed fists.

"Chi-chi," I said to her. "You bite really hard."

Chiho smiled brightly. "I know! Just ask Sora-kun." She got up, standing on the bed, and began whining in a voice that we could only assume to be her best Sora impersonation. "Oh, ow, my hand!" She gripped her hand dramatically and fell to her knees on the bed. "Oh my God, she bit my hand! That hurt, oh GOD, that huuuuurt! Oh, I-"

That was as far as she got before Sora tackled her. She screamed, and we all cracked up again. In minutes, Sora was sitting cross-legged on Chiho, who was screaming and pounding the bed with her fists.

"Get offa me!" she shouted. "It's not my fault you're a wimp!"

"Says who?" Sora demanded, finally getting off of Chiho's stomach.

"US!" everyone shouted at him.

"Great," he muttered.

Suddenly, Chiho stood up and looked around. "Hey," she said. "Where's Ren and Lena?"

Everyone looked at each other and shrugged. "Dunno," we all said at slightly different times. I hadn't even noticed that Lena was missing, too.

"We should go look, right?" I asked, crossing my arms over my black t-shirt.

"Yeah," Kaede said, nudging Cloud until he woke up. "Cloud! Get up! Ren and Lena are missing!"

Cloud groaned and sat up. "Ugh, what?"

"Lena and Ren are totally MIA," Kaede said, standing up and running a hand through her messy hair. "And we're going to look for them."

"Um…okay," Cloud said, and pushed himself up. He smirked. "We should go, then."

And with that, we got up and walked out of the room. Without a plan, without thinking, and most importantly, without Cloud's ginormous sword.

A/N: Um...can you say "Oops?" That's a very important item they forgot...
