……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Lilith stood in the middle of a foggy area; she couldn't make out any of the land she stood on. All she could clearly see in the distance staring back at her was…Riku. She ran towards him, her hand reaching for him, but with every step she took, she could never get closer. Riku would just drift farther and farther away…

"Riku! Riku, wait!" She screamed, but he only stared at her with a vague expression of sorrow. She ran faster, but he only seemed to get farther away…

…And then she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling of her and Helena's bedroom in the Gummi Ship. She blinked a few times, rubbed her eyes, and looked around the darkened room.

What was I doing? Lilith thought as her eyes adjusted to the dark …Oh, yeah! After we could take our seat belts off, I brought Helena down here to sleep, then I took a shower and came back here, and then I sat on my bed, and… fell asleep. She then looked towards her left.

She could see Helena, a lump under her blankets, sleeping through a hangover on the bed next to her. She giggled as she heard groans coming from the lump. She then quietly got out of bed and crouched down beside Helena's bed, and shook her friend gently. She heard protesting moans coming from the lump.

"Muh, leave me 'lone… I'm tired…" Was the reply from the drunken angel. Lilith pouted and decided that she would wake Helena up no matter what she had to do. So, she climbed up on the bed, and with a 'Ker-Plop!' flopped on top of Helena.

"Ugh, fine, I'm up, I'm up!" Helena shouted groggily, pushing her blanket and Lilith off of her, both landing not too gracefully on the floor. Helena swung her legs over the side of her bed and rubbed her eyes.

"Uhg, Lil, shut the liiiiiight…" She complained, shielding her eyes from the nonexistent light.

"The light IS off, Helena! How many cups of that spiked punch did you have?" Lilith said, a scolding tone ringing clearly in her voice.

"It…was spiked?" She asked, her voice slurred slightly, "Geez... I drank 'bout…three…no, five…no…i-it was…seven, I think…"

"SEVEN?"

"Yeah…but, usually…at home, when I…drink wine, it's not this…bad…"

"That's because angel liquor has very little alcohol, you told me that yourself! And this was human liquor, which has a HELL of a lot more alcohol in it! And Sonora thought it might have been vodka, which is even worse! Now I'm going to get something for that hangover, so you just rest and not go to sleep, and I'll be back before you know it." Lilith then exited the room, leaving Helena to try and cope with her massive headache.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Once Lilith entered the Gummi Ship's kitchen, she spotted Sora and Kairi making out in a corner. She 'Ahem'ed to get their attention, and the second they heard her, they quickly pulled apart, blushing.

"Well, I see you guys are having fun," Lilith said, "But anyway, do you guys know if there's anything in here to get rid of hangovers? Helena looks like she feels like crap." Sora nodded and went over to the cabinet, pulling out a small glass and a bottle of aspirin. He started to fill the glass with water.

"Make her take two aspirins with the water," He started, "And then let her sleep. She should be fine when she wakes up." He then handed her the glass of water and the aspirin.

"How do you know that?" Lilith asked.

"In Health Class, we had a couple lessons on the affects of alcohol and stuff," Kairi said, "And one of the things was how to get rid of hangovers. We had to make a documentary on it too, remember, Sora?" Sora laughed.

"Yeah, we didn't know that we had to have someone fake getting drunk, and so Riku actually got drunk 'cause he was the actor-person, and we had to explain to our parents for three hours how Riku got drunk. We got the highest grade on the project, though," He said, his eyes misting over as he remembered good times.

"Well, that was the least Mrs. Wynstien could do for us after being hounded by our parents!"

"I know, right?"

"Uh..." Lilith said, "I hate to interrupt, but I'm going now."

"Oh, okay then. See you later, Lilith." Lilith nodded and headed back to Helena.

(Note: I don't know if that's the actual cure for a hangover because I didn't want to ask my parents because they'd think I was up to something, so you probably won't want to use it after the next time any of you get wasted…not that I want you to, but you know what I mean.)

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Lilith watched as Helena slept after taking the aspirin. When people sleep, Lilith thought, They destroy the wall that holds back their true emotions, and their face reflects what they are feeling inside. Lilith then sighed as she looked at Helena's forlorn, pained expression. I just wish people were THIS open to others when they were awake…

She then heard the door close. She looked up, and saw that Sora had entered the room.

"Hey," he said calmly, walking over to Lilith and sitting on the bed beside her, "Is Helena any better?" Lilith nodded.

"Yes, thanks to your help. Where's Kairi?"

"Oh, she's sleeping. The party must've really taken it out of her." Sora then sighed. "Lilith, what did I do at Traverse Town? All I remember is a guy named Matt, a girl named Hazel, and lots of toilet paper…" Lilith giggled.

"Well, let's see…You thought you were some Karate Lincon guy, you thanked Hazel for not stabbing you for no apparent reason, you ticked off Matt 'cause you kept saying 'Really', and you tried to eat the couch." Sora raised an eyebrow.

"That sickness sure is strange…" He said. He then flopped down on the bed, putting his hands under his head. Lilith, being bored, did the same. They then both sighed at the same time, and they laughed.

"Sora…"

"Hmm?"

"…What did you really come here for?" Sora looked slightly stunned.

"Me?" He asked, trying to act innocent, "Nothing at all! I just wanted to see how my dear frie-"

"Don't pull that on me. I can read anyone like a book, Sora. What's up?" Sora sighed.

"Well, I was wondering if you'd come out. Kairi's actually making us dinner. Aren't you hungry?"

"No, I'm-" But the loud growl that emitted from Lilith's stomach just then said otherwise. She sat up and blushed in embarrassment. "Yeah, okay, a little, I guess. What's Kairi making?"

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Ta-Da!" Kairi said as she gave both Sora and Lilith a bowl. "It's my specialty, Chicken-flavored Ramen!" She then handed them both chop sticks as they looked at the yummy-looking ramen in the bowl.

"Oh my gosh, I love ramen! I didn't know we had any!" Lilith exclaimed, a look of pure joy on her face.

"Uh, Kairi," Sora said, "How much ramen did you make?" The redhead pointed to a 2-foot high, 12 inch diameter pot almost full to the brim with ramen. Sora and Lilith stared at the pot, stupefied.

"Yeah, but this is nothing," Kairi said, "The pantry is full of almost nothing else but ramen; this batch barely made a dent in the supply! Besides, I'm sure we'll have leftovers." Just then, Helena came into the room, still slightly asleep.

"Mmm, is tha ramen I smell?" the angel said, a look of lazy happiness on her face. "I love ramen…"

"Yeah, I made it!" Kairi said; she hadn't known about everyone's love for ramen. "You want some?" Helena nodded and sat down at the table next to Lilith. "Alright, here you go!" Kairi then set a bowl and some chopsticks in from of Helena, and then went back to her own bowl that was sitting at the table. Then they ate the ramen, and it was pretty damn good. Helena finished first and placed her empty bowl on the table.

"That was great, Kairi," she said, "But there's one thing that can make it better."

"What?" Kairi and Sora asked at the same time, curious.

"HOT PEPPER FLAKES!" Helena exclaimed. She then ran over to the spice cabinet.

"Well, she's made a full recovery, right Lilith…Lilith?" Sora had looked to where Lilith had been sitting, but instead she had now gone over to the spice cabinet with Helena to look for hot pepper flakes.

"Found 'em!" Lilith said, holding the small bottle of hot pepper flakes above her head. She and Helena squealed, placed the bottle on the table, refilled their bowls, and sprinkled lots and lots of the hot pepper flakes on their ramen. They then started to eat their flaming concoction, and they both grinned in pleasure.

"How can you guys eat that stuff?" Kairi asked, "I can't stand it; I always end up almost puking when I eat anything THAT spicy!" Sora, however, looked curiously at the bottle.

"Can I try some?" He asked, picking up the bottle.

"Sure, but be careful," Lilith said in a cautious voice, "That stuff's really hot if you put as much stuff as we-" But Sora ignored Lilith as he dumped the same amount, if not more than, Helena and Lilith had put on their ramen (not put together, of course! I don't want to torture Sora that much!). He then scooped up a big chopstickful of ramen with almost all of the flakes on it. He shoveled it into his mouth, chewed a few times, swallowed, slurped up the end pieces, and ate them as well. Once he swallowed all the ramen he had picked up, he smiled.

"That wasn't so bad-" he started, but then his eyes watered, his whole face turned red, and steam actually came out of his ears.

"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!" He screamed, leaping out of his chair and throwing the chopsticks somewhere. He ran over to the fridge, opened it, grabbed a half-gallon carton of milk, and chugged the whole thing in thirty seconds. The whole time this was happening, Kairi, Lilith, and Helena were just staring at Sora. He then stared back at then, milk running like tiny rivers from the sides of his mouth.

"What? "He asked. Then the girls looked at each other, and started to crack up hysterically.

"WHAAT?" Sora shouted, confused and a little annoyed from the girl's laughing. They then stopped laughing when Navi entered the room five minutes later.

"What's with all the noise?" She asked. She then spotted the pot of ramen. "Ooh, ramen!" Then, with her mysterious fairy ways, she got a filled bowl of ramen and set it on the table, and dove into the ramen face-first. The girls and Sora then stared at Navi. The fairy paused from her barbaric eating habits and looked up.

"What?" She asked. The teens then looked at each other, and then started to laugh hysterically.

"WHAAT?" She shouted. After a while, the teens calmed down.

"Okay, that was priceless," Helena said. The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, we better save the rest of the ramen," Kairi said, getting up, "Donald and Goofy will want some ramen later, right?" The others and Navi nodded. While Navi continued to eat her ramen, the teens put the leftover ramen in several large plastic containers and stored then in the fridge so well that all of them actually fit well into the fridge. They then, with Navi's help (since she was done eating), they all washed the bowls and chopsticks…but they never did find Sora's chopsticks…

……………………………………………………………………………………………...

"Guys…you better come up here…" said Donald's voice over the Gummi ship's intercom. Lilith, Helena, Sora, Kairi, and Navi perked up; they had just been hanging around and talking in the kitchen when Donald's voice had startled them. They quickly went up the elevator in two's (Navi went with Lilith and Helena; she didn't want to put up with Sora and Kairi making out) and came out into the control room of the Gummi Ship, where Donald and Goofy were flying the Gummi ship.

"We just saw something flash by the window!" Goofy said, pointing out the window.

"Are you sure it isn't just a Heartless ship?" Kairi asked.

"No, we think we saw some kind of huge animal!" Donald exclaimed. Something then flashed across the window again. Everyone was startled and stared at the window, waiting for the thing to streak past the window. They waited for a full minute in anxious suspense. Then…they saw the thing soar out from under the ship to a few miles away, and then soared up, giving the small tea, of heroes a great look at…a huge whale.

"Holy shit, a whale!" Sora exclaimed, almost stunned.

"That's not just any whale," Navi said, fear growing in her voice, "It's…it's…it's…"

"WHAT IS IT?" Everyone else shouted.

"It's a…whale from my world…Jabu-Jabu…"

"Wasn't your world destroyed a while ago?" Donald asked.

"Yeah, but Jabu-Jabu's a huge whale. Trust me, I went inside it once! It was nasty, and an experience that I never want to repeat!" Sora shuddered.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," He said, remembering the last time he went inside a whale. Donald and Goofy nodded in agreement. Then, Jabu-Jabu soared from over the top, twisted around a bit, and faced the Gummi Ship, opening his great mouth. Everyone screamed as the Gummi Ship was swallowed by the gianormus whale…
