Lorwen: DRAT! Well, read on anyways. Im just going to go curl up and die in a corner, unloved and lonely.


Lorwen POV

Me and Ketari moped about Castle Oblivion, bored beyond all belief.

"Wanna go see Zexion?" I asked.

"No...he's out of the castle right now..." Ketari said reluctantly.

"Vexen?" Ketari perked up a little bit.

"Yeah," She said. "That would be interesting."

I grinned really big, and then stood up, making sure Binky was still safely resting on top of my head. He enjoyed sleeping, and was usually occupied with it about 22 hours of the day.

Down the halls, we almost got lost, but thanks to the map of the castle Axel-san had been so kind to make for us (even though they looked like a toddler's scribbling. Feh!), we made it to Vexen's chamber. I knocked, but no one answered, so I wandered in .

"Hello?" Ketari asked, but my eyes strayed to the table. There was a small pile of cards...

"Ketari-san! Look!" I rejoiced, holding them up.

"Ready to go on a trip?" I asked, shifting through them slowly. "How about...Olympus Coliseum?"

"Yeah!" Agreed Ketari. "We can see Sephy and Cloud!"

We ran all the way down the halls, bumping into Axel on the way there, but quickly escaping him before he asked us what we were doing.

"We've got to stop bumping into the pyromaniac anorexic psychotic murderer!" Brittney stated as we approached the entrance door.

"After you, Ketari-san!" I said, handing her the card.

"I don't know how to work this!" She handed it back to me. I looked down at it, lost for all words.

"Wait, I know how..." She grabbed the card out of my hands.

"Bossy, bossy, aiya." I muttered moodily.

"My word!" She shouted as she thrust her arm with the card into the air. Blue flash (again) and we were in Olympus Coliseum.

"Alright..." I said, trying to shield my eyes from the hot sun. "Where too first? Sephy-sama or Cloud-san?"

"...Sephy!" Ketari shouted. "It'd be more interesting, anyways. I'd probably just give Cloud mental damage, but Sora still needs him. We can't have that happening."

"Nopers."

"Who are you! What are you doing here!"

"Argh!" I shouted, trying to run backwards, but tripping over something small and hairy.

"Ewww..." Ketari-san commented.

"It's Phil!" I said, rubbing my head and staring at the little...thing.

"Do you know where Sephiroth is?" I said.

Phil looked me over. "Whaddya want him for? I doubt you'll even get within five feet of him before..."

Ketari reached into my backpack and yanked out my planner. "Actually..." She opened it and shoved it into Phil's face. "Young Mrs. Vexen here has a five o'clock appointment with Mr. Death and Doom, so if you don't mind we better get over there soon!"

"Oh, stop playing secretary, Ketari san. It's already six anyways."

"All the more reason we need to get over there!"

"We're late!" I sang, bouncing around. "We're late! For a very important date!"

Phil watched us with a disgusted look upon his face. "Alright, I'll tell you where he is. But only because we need less of your kind here. He's down over there." He pointed down a corridor.

"Whopee!" I shouted, running off.

"This ought to be good." Ketari commented as she followed me.

We came out into a medium sized stadium, where Sephiroth was sitting on a bench and looking around with obvious boredom.

"Hi Sephy-sama!" I waved to him gleefully. He jumped up and pulled out masasume.

"Woah! Don't hurt me!" I said, backing up.

"You're in for it now, aiya." Ketari told me, waving her finger back and forth. I stuck my tongue out.

"What are you two children doing here?" Sephiroth said.

"WE'RE NOT CHILDREN!" Me and Ketari shouted. "WE'RE MEMBERS OF AN ELITE ORGANIZATION OF PYROMANIACS!"

Sephy was still eyeing us carefully. "Well, get out of here then."

"Not yet! I have to do something first!" I said hurriedly. I ran right up to him and hugged him.

"Ack!" He said, trying to brush me off.

I thought I heard Ketari say something like "Oh hell, shes so dead.", but I couldn't be too sure.

I let go after a little bit, and then attempted to skip off, but Sephiroth grabbed me around my neck.

"Hey, okia!" I rasped. "Not fair! Im just a child!"

I heard Ketari's pistol go off, and Sephiroth winced as a bullet went through his wing, and he dropped me.

"Yay!" I shouted, running back to where Ketari was standing.

"I-I-...I shot Sephiroth." She stuttered, looking down at her pistol. "I am soooooo dead."

"Yeppers!" I said, summoning my weapons to my hands. "Let's just hope Legolas will come and save us."

"I give up with you." Ketari muttered. "If Legolas comes and saves us, I'll kiss Lexaus!" I giggled.

"Well, then. I hope my prince arrives soon!" Ketari grimaced .

But our conversation was brought to an end when Sephiroth slashed right inbetween us, forcing us both to jump back. "Meepit!" I cursed. "I am actually going to have to fight!"

Sephiroth then tried to bring his sword down on me, and I brought my weapons up to block it, knocking masasume out of his hands. Ketari ran over and grabbed it.

"Wow, Lory-san! It's so light!" She commented.

"Hey, that's mine!" Sephy said, running over and trying to grab it from her.

"Catch!" She shouted, throwing it to me. I dived and caught it.

"Why you two..." Growled Sephiroth. Instead of running after me though, he began to mutter something...

"Bring down the heartless angel..."

"RUUUUUNNN!" We both shouted, and I dropped the sword and ran as fast as humanely (or elvishly in my case) to the other side of the stadium.

We cowered in the farthest corner. "Oh crud!" Brittney said. "You have a halo over you head!"

"No! I can't die! I have to marry Legolas and Sesshomaru and Sephiroth...strike that! And Vexen." I cried.

"Leave them alone!" A voice cried out. Spiky brown hair...over sized key...why, its Sora!

"Sora san!" I said, running up and hugging him.

"Ah!" Sora's muffled cry came out.

"You can't hug him! We're against him!" Reminded Brittney. I let go.

"You're with that one Axel guy, aren't you?" Sora asked.

"What was your first clue?" Ketari asked, pointing to our cloaks.

"Eep!" I let out my trademark little scream as I dodged another one of Sephiroth's attacks (he had gotten his sword back, after all)

"I told you to leave them alone!" Sora shouted again. "I thought I defeated you!"

"Well," Sephiroth said. "I've never seen you in my life. But there are people dressed like these two, walking around all the time like they own this place!"

"So I guess I just have to defeat you again!" Sora pulled his keyblade into fighting stance.

"I think it's time for us to leave...taa, Sora-san!" I said, waving happily, not wanting to stay for the battle.

"Our highest Thanks for saving us!" Ketari waved also as we ran out of the stadium. And right into Vexen.

"Hi Vexen-sama!" I gleefully stated, giving him a quick hug.

"Let me go." Was all he said. I obeyed, knowing my hugging had gotten us into enough trouble today. "Marluxia's going to kill you for talking to Sora...and for leaving unsupervised!"

"We're not babies you know, we can take care of ourselves..."

"Really? It didn't seem that when you were in the stadium..."

"You were watching! Why didn't you save us? Why do you only come and save us now!" Ketari complained.

"Because" Vexen began. "One, Marluxia would have my head if I lost you guys, and two, you were interfering with Sora."

"So? A little hug couldn't hurt any-..." I stopped myself short, realizing hugs could hurt people, if used in the wrong situations.

Vexen flashed the whole card thing and we were back in Castle Oblivion in no time. "Marluxia's ready to have you work, girls. He want's you to start-"

"Actually, Vexen, we have something else to do." Ketari said. I looked at her, and she just shrugged her shoulders.

"We assume you've never had a home cooked dinner her at Castle Oblivion. So, naturally, we're going to cook you something genuinely special." Ketari suggested.

"Don't try to get out of work!" Vexen warned, scowling.

"Us?" I asked innocently in my I'm-a-blonde-and-I-can't-even-think-simple-thoughts voice. "Escape work? Never!"

Ketari then grabbed me by the arm and dragged me by the arm before Vexen could complain any further.
