Fall to pieces

By: the Maria half of Zeida and Maria

Summary:What if my freakish fleeting thought, the result of not having finished the first game, and not having played Chain of Memories, was true? Basicly, Sora was... not... just not. and Riku was was trying to make him him again.

Ch.5: Only The Beginning

I woke bright and early, as usual. Today was my kinda day. Warm, sunny, the water was just the right temperture. I rose to take a quick shower, just the scrubing of one's body. I didn't bother to do anything more that rinse my hair. Upon leaving I took a quick peek into several of the other rooms. There was no waking them...

'I know what you mean. What are the plans for today?'

'I have no idea... Oh, wait!'

'I'm not going anywhere...' Roxas retorted sarcasticly.

'Ha ha. Very funny' I thought to my nobody. 'But I did remember what we're doing. We're telling Tidus and Selphie and Wakka. Then a nice game of water tag, or maybe racing...'

'Such is island life...'

'Ain't it grand?'

I heard a snort somewhere in the confines of my mind. Actually it wasn't really my mind, it was mine and Roxas'. The body belonged to the both of us aswell, considering mine died... But Riku rescued us! And helped us! And fixed eveything andheiswonderfulandperfectandsexybutI'mnotgonnasaythatoutloudbecausehe'llgetconceded.

'I have a headache...'

"Sorry, Rox" I said out loud.

I happily made us a little breakfast, making twice as much as usual becase we found that even though we only have one body, that there being two of us affected our appitite.

'It really makes you wonder, doesn't it?'

"Yeah..." I mumbled. 'Like we really could have two bodies.' I never say that thought out loud. It would... I don't know but it wouldn't make things better, I can tell you that.

Besides, this was pretty cool as things go. Roxas can do things I can't I I can do things he can't...

'And together... We Are Unbeatable!' Roxas crowed.

"We haven't beat Axel or Riku yet," I said.

"Nope, you haven't!"

I jumped a foot in the air and let fly with the eggs I was trying so hard to make.

I spun around to face the owner of the deep voice, Riku. We had been living together a while now. All of us. We all pitched in, and bought a huge house, not an appartment, but a house. Now everyone was living together. It got chaotic every now and then, but in the end, everyone was happy with the desicion. Even when Selphie weekly picked a victim and dressed them up in their sleep.

'Or when Wakka was assigned cooking duty and everyone fled the house, looking for the hose.'

'Or Tidus' breaking every delicate thing in the house. Or Kairi's and Selphie's combined yaoi fangirlism...' That was getting scary.

'Axel's insistance that he get to light everything that needs lighting.'

"And Riku sneaking up on everyone- heeheeheeheehahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I said out loud, but started laughing at the sight of my -'OUR!'- eggs falling on Riku's freshly washed-

'Shampooed-' Roxas was laughing too.

-And conditionered hair. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I was rolling around now. I think the eggman is stalking up to me now. I opened streaming eyes a second to verify and saw that I had woken more people.

They stared at Riku in horror as he stalked slowly to me, His hands out-stretched and claw-like. The a gigglie broke the silence-

'Excluding our laughter. heeheehee...'

"heeheehee-!" "BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA-!" "shkttt-! HAHAHAHAHA!" Kairi, Tidus and Axel fled as Riku now rounded on them and began to chase them around the spacious kitchen. I lept to my feet as they came full circle and neared me again. We ran up the stairs and Riku came ever closer... Eggs are flying everywhere, I'm hungry!

A startled Wakka and Selphie glued themselves to the wall as we darted past. I made a bee-line for Kairi's room as it was the closest. Everyone else followed after me. Axel slamed the door in Riku's face and locked it. There was a crash and a groan and that poor door most definatly shuddered under a weight. We all huddled in the corner of Kairi's very purple room. And waited. There was no noise...

'I hear Wakka trying to calm Riku down.'

I sighed, and everyone turned to me. "Wakka is calming him down."

They grinned, that always worked. Wakka was good at that.

We decided it was safe to walk out of the locked room, oh, about ten minutes after Wakka finished. He was good, sure, but Riku needed a mandatory 'cool off' period'. Besides, water was running so he had to be in the shower.

How wrong we were.

Me and Kairi suggested that we go to the beach and give Riku a bit longer alone. It was his hair... we want to stay as far away as long as possible. He gets scary over his hair.

Axel was the first victim. He stepped out the door, closely followed by Tidus and Kai. I felt something up, so I slowed down...

FSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He had the hose. He had the hose! He just turned that monster of a hose on them. On Axel.

'Riku's gonna find that something awful has happened in the middle of the night...'

'You arn't attacking him!'

'Axel, doofus.'

"Oh."

Roxas is laughing again!

Well anyway, I had to get away, so I snuck out the window. Riku expected this. How he did, I do not know. He's like super-psychic. But I ducked the stream. And ran. Riku can only get so far with a hose.

Damn it! He thought of this too!

I looked back to see if he was following, and caught a glimse of the gang. I think... Kai looks like wet cat...

'Tidus could win a wet-shirt contest...'

"Axel!" I crowed, laughing.

He looked up, glaring. his hair is longer than I thought it was. Wait a sec, what's he doing!

He's chasing me!

Why is he chasing me!

And Riku made water balloons.

'Oh, crap...'

"WAAAAAAAAHH!" I wailed all the way to the beach. I dove into a bush and carefully concealed myself. I would escape, and head back when they were checking the boats.

I can read Riku just as well as he reads me.

'Like an open book.'

'I don't know whether to be insulted or not...'

'Shut-up, they're here.'

'Like they can here us!'

'You said yourself, Riku is super-psycho.'

'psychic!'

'Whatever, he's here.'

Riku did just as I planed... Muahahahahahaha... Now when he finds that we didn't leave, he will use that super-psychic-ness and see if I'm near-by... But I shall leave! and head right back to the house! He will never think of looking there!

'Or will he?'

'Yeah, you're right, we'll pretend we hid in the house, then come back and paddle to the play island, then hide up a tree and- oh better get going!'

Riku headed down to the dock, not even bothering to look around. I headed back to the house and hid in the brush out side of it. When Riku and Axel-the-traitor come-

'What! He is not a traitor!'

''Yeah he is! Look! He teamed up with Riku, right after the guy soaks him!'

Roxas mumbled intelligably '...not a traitor... perfect...stupid Sora...'

I sighed. Riku was coming back now, looking slightly confused, but very confident. I smiled and headed back to the beach. I hi-jacked one of the boats and happily paddled away to the play island. All I had to do was hide up that tree where no one looks at in hide-and-seek-

'Really?'

'Yeah, no one looks there, they just don't, so it's cheating to hide ther-'

'Then why are you hiding there?'

'Because one, I don't wanna be found, and two, we arn't playing hide-and-seek.'

'I think we are'

"Keep thinking that, delude yourself all you want and I'll make sure we don't get caught."

'Hmph.'

I sighed again. I seem to be doing that a lot today. Riku hasn't shown up yet. He's usually found me by now...

I decided to wander a bit before he got here, I was good at hiding and would conceal myself at a moments notice before he could spot me. This island really was beautiful... We all used to play here when we were kids... We still do, some, but it's not the same.

No one has time to have an adventure anymore... It's kinda sad, everyone has a job to go to. Well not that jobs are bad, that's the only reason we are eating-

'And eating is good!'

But we have to work so much to provide for eveyone! I just wish that it was kinda like back then, where I could kill the Heartless for munny and eveything would be fine. I'm good at wacking things, I'm not good at sweet talking customers into buying more clothes!

'Your manager thinks otherwise.'

Shut-it. The sun is setting... Its so beautiful out here... not like the mainland at all. We should have a get together and just play here just like old times. Me and you and Riku and Axel could put on a play-fight show and everyone could stare in Awe!

'The waves are so peaceful, We didn't have oceans at castle oblivion...'

'What about twilight town? Hayner said there was a beach'

'There is, but I've never seen it.'

'Oh... sorry.'

'Don't be, I get to see this, don't I?'

'I just wish that I could of... or rather you could still be you...'

'I am! Especially tomorrow, as that is MY turn! And I'm gonna have more fun than you!'

'Feh, you wish.'

I sat on the beach as me and Roxas conversed. The threat of water balloons seemed far away as we watched the waves. Tomorrow would be Roxas' turn and we would be down here again, just in time for sunset. It happened like that ever since we finally got back to Destiny Islands.

'Hey, what's that?' Roxas took our arm and pointed out a strange shape burried in the sand maybe ten feet away. I stood and crept over to it, cautious instincts ingrained into me.

It was a book. Roxas started laughing so hard at my paranoia that it was coming out our mouth! It wasn't even his turn today...

"HeeheeheeheehahahahahaHAHAHAAHAHA!" Still laughing I bent over and lifted the strange thing. It looked kinda old. It was made of leather and the corners were dog-eared. I could see holes where book worms had gotten it, but the actual creatures must have been washed away. Strangely, the tome itself wasn't at all wet.

"Hmmm... A Tale Of Wishes...?"
