Chapter Twenty-Seven: Stop Getting Drunk!
Hey all, I'm now working via laptop, Thank you good grades:D Anyways, now the my hands are at a level base, I should be okay with any wrist problems. I really, really like this computer so I think that I'll be getting to writing the next chapter…I had to transfer all my work to this and it was such a pain in the ass! Okay, so loyal minions, yes, I said it, get some Cinnamon Toast Crunch and get reading this! By the way, I've been having trouble getting my Axel chapters up in my Axel story, and that's one other reason as to why this chapter took so long. is doing something weird with my stories and I can't submit them.
The days of rest were quickly growing shorter, and strange, simple memories of mine were being whisked away…Simple things like the names of my cats. I know one of them is named after some kind of food…Pie? Cake?...AHH! I don't remember!
I know there were times where I'd say something and seconds later I would repeat the exact same phrase. That was annoying. That was annoying.
Thankfully, I had the others to help me try and keep my mind in order. It wasn't easy being the victim of memory theft…I bet you anything that it's like ten times worse than identity theft! Heh…I'm getting off track, aren't I?
It was some Sunday…I think in early September. Days here go by really quickly and are hard to keep track of…Like really good desserts. I'm sorry, I just haven't had any really good sweet things lately…except for that cupcake…Yeah, I remember the cupcake. That was surprisingly a really good cupcake…
DAMNIT! I'm getting off track again! I hate it when this happens!
The whole lot of us were sitting in Merlin's house and acting like a bunch of…I dunno, lazy people. We didn't feel like getting up or doing anything. Who would? This was our last day of rest before we went off and attempted to kick some Nobody…and Heartless…ass. Hey, we have Xemnas's Heartless still floating around too, remember? I was with…oh…What was her name again? Hm…I guess I must have been by myself when that happened.
"Anyone wanna play Uno?" Riku asked, lifting up his head from the cushion on the couch.
"We've played Uno seventeen times, Riku," Kairi whined. "I think we need a break"
"How about Clue?" Sora suggested. I groaned and threw my face into the back of the couch.
"No, we've played that too much too." I moaned into cushionyness.
"I have Twister!" Axel volunteered, quickly letting it go when he saw the demonic looks on mine and Kairi's faces. "Or we could play Scrabble"
"Noooo…"Demyx pouted. "Anna keeps kicking our ass in it"
"How about name that farm animal?" I asked, joking at the lack of things to do. I was actually given looks of enthusiasm from the others and said. "Wow, I didn't actually think you'd be interested"
"It's different." Sora said. "I mean, we haven't done anything like that before"
I slammed my head into the couch again. "Ahh, you guys are hopeless!" I shouted. "And bored"
"Maybe we should just, go home and rest?" Kairi suggested.
"Rest!" Axel shouted. "C'mon! You guys don't need to rest! Look at you!" We were all clumped together on the cough with pale faces and baggy eyes and moaning a bit like zombies.
"I think I like Kairi's idea." Riku said. "But as long as you guys are crashing here, we're stuck and we won't be able to sleep"
"Let's all sleep at Anna's Maleficent Crushing House." Sora laughed, as he got off the couch lazily and stumbled across the room and out the door, followed by Riku,
"Hey! B-but my mom says that I can't have guys sleep over!" I shouted, stumbling after them with Kairi at my side, laughing. Good for you Kairi. Thanks for laughing at my tiredness!
We ran after the guys and they attempted to climb up the stair of my house which were crookedly misshapen from their landing in the town.
They opened the door, and it was easy to hear them shout. "Hi Ms, Anna's mom, we're staying her for a while!" I groaned and I climbed up my stairs Kairi following.
"Do you think your mom is going to be okay?" she asked.
"With the guys staying the night?" I asked. "Yeah, I think as long as they avoid the upstairs"
"No, with us leaving again tomorrow?" she corrected. "You've been away from her for a long time, right? Don't you think she's probably getting concerned now"
I shrugged as I opened the door to my house. "I check in with her a lot, so I guess she'll be alright," After Kairi stepped in, I closed the door and called to my mom. "Sorry about Sora and Riku, mom"
"That's alright, Anna." She called back. "Could you possibly take the dogs out for a pee!" I groaned.
"Fine!" I whined, as Kairi headed to the back door with me. "She'll be fine. As long as I keep in touch with her while I'm away." My three dogs stood at the back door and I opened the old French door and let them out into the actually chunk of my backyard that had landed in the town with my house…with the fencing.
"But what if something bad happen?" I turned around and Sora and Riku were leaning against the wall of the house, "What if they take the memory of your mom? You're really close to her, right"
I bit my lip and looked at my dogs to make sure that they weren't leaving the year…I really didn't need them to run through town and biting Leon's ass…Then again…that'd be alright with me…
"I'm starting to think that you shouldn't come with us tomorrow." Riku added. "This could mean restoring all your memories or losing them instead"
"Hey!" I shouted. "This is my story! Come one, this wouldn't be such a hit online if I didn't take part in the plot"
"Anna, you should stay here, we all thought about this. We can't let you get caught in any more of this." Sora explained.
"No!" I snapped. "These are my memories! I need to get them back on my own!" They all sighed, but not in unison, in despair.
"As soon as things get bad, you get your ass out of there then." Riku said. I pouted and called the dogs to come back in.
"I don't see why you don't treat Kairi the same as you treat me." I asked as I kept the door open for them. Kairi smiled at me.
"Because I've been through this kind of thing before." She assured. I puffed out my cheeks.
"Discrimination!" I shouted as I went in after everyone else, who were attacking the fridge. Hey! Don't touch my lemonade!
That night, the boys shared our downstairs den, while me and Kairi stayed up in my room which was still the same, natural untidiness of a teenage girl obsessed with Kingdom Hearts and Johnny Depp.
"I imagined it to be smaller." Kairi observed as she sat down on my spare bed. Yes, I have a spare bed. I grinned and collapsed on to my bed in exhaustion.
"This is the size of the entire upstairs of my old house." I replied, laughing. "This house is a freaking mansion compared to my old house"
Kairi looked around and grabbed one of my old sketch books. "I didn't know you drew." She said, flipping through the pages to a picture I had drawn of Roxas. "Wow, this is really good"
I groaned. "No it's not, That's a really bad pic…my first pic of him." I took that sketch book and handed her another one that was less beaten up. "This is a better one"
She smiled and seemed to say something to Namine, who allowed herself to laugh aloud,
"I see Namine likes it." I said. "I have one of her around here someone. I have a few of you and Sora…and some of Riku and my fancharacter for a fanfic of mine"
"What's that one about?" she asked.
"It's about a girl who grew up on the island with you guys, but had to move to a smaller part of another island about a year after you arrived. She didn't get along with you. And after years, when the island was destroyed, she was reunited with you guys, but only after losing her heart and making a deal that would ruin her chances of being able to come home. At the end of the first story, she gets stuck behind the Door to Darkness with Riku and the King only for her to fall into the darkness and winding up back on the island with you, only to realize she loves Riku for helping her for her entire life." I like telling stories. "It's not very popular online right now"
"It'd be weird if she really did live on the island with us." Kairi said. "We did have a friend who moved, I didn't get along with her"
"My character didn't get along with you either." I laughed. "That'd be really weird if they were the same person." I threw one of my many stuffed animals at her and resumed staring at the ceiling.
Morning came quickly…Too quickly if I have to cliché this. Kairi and I stayed up late, being girls and playing pranks on Sora and Riku…which was really fun…Axel and Demyx stopped by at around four in the morning…drunk...I have no idea as to how they were able to get drunk, seeing as how strict the bars were around here, and how they weren't even close to the right age…Well…alright, they're close but not that close.
But still…morning came way too fast. I collected anything I felt might be useful to carry with me while on this little trip: matches, squirt guns, rocks, my little knife, a stick…etcetera.
"Are we ready to do this!" Sora shouted enthusiastically. Axel trudged past him, holding his head and groaning.
"Sora, shut up." He whined as he clumped into the gummi ship.
"Oh come on, you were drunk, it's not my fault!" he snapped, playing the leader card again.
"Sora, Axel's right…shut up." Demyx coughed following his previous fellow Nobody…or whatever the hell they were now.
"Well they're being nice today." Riku said sarcastically boarding after them. "Hurry up you guys"
Kairi and Sora boarded shortly afterward. I looked at my house for a moment, despite how it wasn't in its usual setting, and wondered if they were right, and maybe I wouldn't remember any of this when we came back.
I smiled and hummed a bit of Passion to myself. That house, was my sanctuary.
