DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
By: The Thorn of Twilight
CHAPTER ONE
"Guess' I'll see you later, Roxas! Bye!" Mixarna shouted, waving goodbye to her blond-haired friend.
"Yeah. I'll see you later." He responded, turning around to get back into Castle Oblivion.

"You wanted to accompany me to the market for what reason?" Zexion asked, a ting of irritation in his voice. Mixarna smiled at him.
"Well, I just needed to get something. Plus, Xemnas told me to earlier, but Roxas dragged me into the river to swim. And I really mean it! He dragged me into the stupid lake! Luckily today's the first day of summer…" Zexion sighed, and continued to walk in silence.
Back with Roxas…in Vexen's Lab…"Hey…Uh…Vexen?" Roxas called, staring in pure curiosity at the older nobody as he started to search in all his shelves and drawers for some sort of object.
"Wait…no, it isn't this…hmm…I remember putting it in here…AHA!" Vexen exclaimed, as he pulled out a bottle of bubbling, crimson liquid out of a drawer marked "mrofsnart". Roxas took a few steps back as Vexen started to advance toward him.
"Here, Roxas. It's a potion that'll…umm…let's skip the details and test it out. Just make sure you don't sip it, just ch-" Roxas cut him off, running a short distance for the door, which was, unfortunately, locked with a password he didn't know. Vexen slipped it into his hand and gave him some sort of reassuring look. Roxas threw him a look that said 'If something happens to me, it's all your fault' and gulped down the concoction. The effects were simple: a quiet burp, a few seconds of stomach pain, and a LONG dash for the bathroom, and a door slammed so hard and loud it looked like it was going to fall out of its frame.
Just then…"Hey Vexen! I got that chemical stuff you wanted me to get! It's kinda melting the bottle though…" Mixarna chirped, popping into his room, placing the dissolving jug on a table with a bunch of other bottles like it. Zexion stepped into the room with another bag.
"And here's all those other things on your damn list. Perhaps Mixarna had forgotten to take the others ones, or she just wanted me to carry the rest…" he said, his temper rising with every word he said. Suddenly, there was this thudding noise in the bathroom nearby. Vexen suspiciously ran for the exit, neither Zexion nor Mixarna noticed. They both walked up to the door cautiously and opened it.
There, lying on the floor, was small, blond-haired puppy.
