Okay, before you guys start reading...
I apologize for not updating this as often as I should have.
I've been busy with stuff and well, my writing's the thing that suffered because of it.
Anyway, disclaimer time: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and Finding Nemo (spot the line guys) do not belong to me.
The only things that belong to me (kinda) are Larry and Zachary.
SO ENJOY!
Lexaeus and Zexion had one mission: to get the groceries.
Zexion, since he was the smallest child (in size; Xion as the youngest was actually an inch taller than him) in the Organization, couldn't help but feel that Xemnas gave this somewhat "important" task to him as a pity mission.
"Are we there yet, Lexaeus?" Zexion asks as he flips through his lexicon as Lexaeus was driving the Gummi ship.
In the back, several of Zexion's Creeper Nobodies (or at least the ones that followed him around a lot) were bouncing each other off of the wall of the bridge. Each time one of them smacked the wall, the other one would burst out into a series of chirping noises that everyone assumed was laughter.
Lexaeus looked increasingly angry from the loud thudding noises but he shakes his head at Zexion's question.
Zexion sighs as he looks out into space, gazing out at the small specks of light that the ship kept passing.
He knew that each one of those specks of light was supposedly an entire world, or at least that's how it worked according to Xemnas and Vexen.
As he stares out the window and into the darkness, he realizes that one of those worlds must be his own home world, Radiant Gardens.
This was a rather solemn feeling for a six year to have and he contemplates the sudden sadness that he was fe-
BAM!
"You stupid Dusks! Can't you tell I'm feeling emo right now?" Zexion screams, undoing his seat belt to tackle the nearest Dusk. This sudden motion sends the Dusk into one of the Creepers and sending it into a furious rampage as it shifted into a shield and battered the other Creeper into the wall.
In a matter of a few seconds, all four Nobodies were in a full-out brawl.
Lexaeus can only watch as the childlike Zexion and the annoying Dusk slap each other across the face (or at least, where he thought that the Dusk's face was) and tackle each other to the ground.
After a few minutes, he grabs the nearest black object from the dog pile (which happened to be Zexion's hood) and yanks it up about six feet away from the ground, leaving the tiny six year old to be dangling helplessly from Lexaeus's powerful grasp.
"Put me down, you oversized son of a-" Zexion wails as Lexaeus shakes him a little and glares violently at the Dusks and Creepers, who immediately back down from the terrifying giant.
"Enough. You are all behaving like children. So stop fighting unless you seek my wrath, you infantile cowards!" Lexaeus snarls coldly as the lesser Nobodies start bowing and scraping at his feet, begging for forgiveness.
"… Lexaeus. I would like to ask you a question." Zexion asks calmly, completely used to his friend's reaction to truly be frightened of him.
Lexaeus grunts and nods at him to continue.
Zexion points to the steering wheel of the Gummi Ship, which was spinning wildly by itself, and asks:
"Just who on Earth is flying the ship?"
"…. Hey, there's a shooting star, mama!" A young child on the streets near the Grocery Store proclaims loudly to his mother, pointing up to a small speck that was hurtling towards the small town that has no name.
"Yes, dear, that's nice." His mother says calmly as she carefully examines a piece of fruit from a vendor's cart that she was hoping to buy for supper later that evening.
"… It sure is goin' super fast, mama!" The little boy proclaims again, staring in shock at the "star" which was spinning wildly and seemed to be coming closer and closer by the minute.
"Uh huh, that's nice. You keep an eye on it for me, okay, honey?" The mother says, not really paying attention to her son as he starts jumping around and shouting.
"MAMA! It's falling!" He shrieks as a sudden jarring crashing noise erupts throughout the street as the Gummi ship slams into the ground, immediately ejecting four or so small shapes and sending them flying into a wall.
"WOW! There were peoples inside the star, mama!" The little boy shouts in amazement as the entire town runs out to see just what had happened.
"… Surely you must've known that this was going to happen." Zexion says in amusement as Lexaeus sits up, apparently completely uninjured.
True to his nature, Lexaeus says nothing but instead releases his tight grip on his friend's body and allows the little boy to get up and stretch.
"Honestly, you have amazing paternal instincts, Lexaeus. You shall be a good father one day. Remind me to get you a girlfriend." Zexion informs him in a somewhat proud voice as he pats his friend gently on the head.
From the sour look that he receives, Zexion thought it best to simply shut up.
"Let's go already." Lexaeus rumbles quietly, standing up and brushing off the concrete dust off of his long jacket carefully.
"Alright then. May I please have the list, my friend?" Zexion asks politely and Lexaeus hands him a very battered, folded piece of paper.
"Let's see…
'Milk, eggs, butter, … bullets, electrical plugs, pickles, Pop Tarts, Toaster Strudel, ice cream (chocolate AND sea salt), steak, ribs, bacon…' goodness, Saïx eats a lot of meat… 'peanut butter, jelly… Pocky, jalapeños, curry, hot sauce, … a new teddy bear, color pencils and a sketchpad.' Some of these items do not sound like they belong on a grocery list…" Zexion muses as Lexaeus carries him on his shoulder to the store. They were closely followed by the Lesser Nobodies, who even after being scolded, were fighting furiously amongst themselves.
As the group walked into the store, they got more than a few startled stares as Lexaeus grabs one of the many convenient shopping carts and drops Zexion into the children's seat and the Dusks and Creepers into the basket part of the cart.. Zexion, naturally, was not very pleased with this arrangement.
"Don't you DARE comment on this, V. I am not so small as to need to be seated in such a preposterous and ludicrous place! I can walk perfectly well!" Zexion snaps angrily, pouting in such a way that several mothers nearby immediately commented on how cute the little guy was.
"… You might get lost." Lexaeus informs him to which the tiny Nobody rolled his eyes.
"I might get lost? You are the one with a poor sense of direction! You may be no fool but you should not treat me like an infantile ch- OOOH! Lookie! There's books!" Zexion squeals, momentarily letting his inner child out as he waves excitedly over at the books.
Lexaeus chuckles at this and quickly picks one of them up and hands it to his little friend, who immediately started reading it.
After a few minutes of wandering the store and finding items, the little group quickly finds themselves at the register (which happened to be located right next to the seafood section).
"Did you get everything?" Zexion asks curiously to Lexaeus who hands him a checked off list, showing that everything was in the cart.
As Lexaeus starts shoving everything onto the conveyer belt that would ultimately lead it to be scanned and charged, Zexion was looking idly over at the seafood section when he had suddenly spotted one of his Creepers dancing around in the huge lobster tank.
"Oh son of a-! Wait here!" Zexion tells Lexaeus as he wiggles out of the child seat of the cart and runs over to get it.
"You silly little thing… stop hugging that crustacean and come with me! Please? Pretty please with a Nobody on top?" Zexion begs the Creeper, who was holding one of the lobsters in its arms (or at least, what Zexion thought its arms were), and looked like it was about to cry.
'Pwease master? He'll be'z lonely without me'z…' it says in a baby voice, sounding completely heartbroken at having to leave its new friend behind.
"No, Zachary! Leave it!" Zexion commands angrily but Zachary just holds up the lobster, pleading.
'Pwease master? Pwetty pwease with a Nobodies on top? Look how cute he is!' it says pleadingly as he holds up the spiny creature and places it into its master's arms.
Amazingly, a strange thing happened then; Zexion actually started to feel bad for the creature and felt horrible for its eventual fate as someone's dinner.
"Um, young man? Could you please give me that lobster? I need to put it back in its tank…" A cashier tells the spellbound duo as he very carefully reaches for the lobster.
In the blink of an eye, the cashier was screaming in fear as a giant spider (actually the Creeper disguised with an illusion) hisses violently at him. Immediately, the entire store's thrown into a state of panic as the little boy and "spider" glare at the other shoppers and employees, daring them to take the crustacean from them.
Only one person, which naturally was Lexaeus, was not afraid. He walks right up to Zexion and smacks both him and the "spider" on the head with his Skysplitter.
"OW!" They both wail in unison, looking up at the solemn faced teenager. In silence, Zachary the Creeper and Zexion hold up the lobster. It was with identical adorable pleading looks and voices that they say:
"Please, please, please?"
The Castle That Never Was
"… Explain to me why he has a lobster again." Xemnas demands quietly to Lexaeus who was standing in his office.
From the embarrassed look on his face, Lexaeus had obviously lost the battle between he and the two Nobodies.
"Um… He… bought it. From… the grocery store." Lexaeus mumbles quietly as Zexion, Zachary and for some reason, Zexiju (Zexion's cat) troop by in the hallway, with Zexion carrying a fish tank and a pail of salt water in a small wagon.
"I shall call him Larry and he shall be mine and he shall be my Larry." Zexion says to Zachary and the kitten as they walk past the office.
Xemnas raises an eyebrow and glares at Lexaeus.
"You're off the hook! Just cause that was adorable as hell!" Xemnas snarls, pointing to the door, telling Lexaeus that he was dismissed.
Alright, so we have Zexion's and Lexaeus' mission down.
Which means... since Haru didn't go to Halloween Town, we're done with the missions!
Hurray!
Anyway, that means we'll be looking at what the Destiny Island kiddos have been up to.
... Unless you guys WANT to see what Haru's mission would have been like?
Either way, you guys vote on your choice and I'll get on it!
