After a mini water fight (Axel backed out because he didn't want to get wet) the five of them headed for the dinning room. Dysis and Axel were exchanging insults while Aiko and Sanura were taking bets on who would win.

"Tall freak."

"Short loser."

"Sticky."

"Porky."

Dysis glowered at him and Axel grinned. "You so skinny that the rest of the Organization can save you from downing by throwing a Cheerio at you!"

Axel twitched. "Oh? You're so fat that when you run you make the CD played skip… at the radio station!"

"Feh! You so skinny, I could grab you by the ankles and mop the floor with you!"

"You're so fat that when you go to a restaurant, you don't get a menu, you get an estimate!"

"Rrr! You so skinny you inspire crack whores to diet!"

"You're so fat you get clothes in three sizes: extra large, jumbo, and oh-my-superior-it's-coming-towards-us!"

"That's it!" Dysis cracked her knuckles and leaped at him. Axel chuckled and sidestepped out of the way, grinning ear to ear when she crashed into the wall.

"Honestly, now, Dysis. Crashing into a wall? Are you stupid too?" Axel mocked as he leaned forward, a hand on his knee.

"I knew this would happen if she ever met Axel," Aiko sighed as she watched her friend charge at Axel again, who in turned sidestepped out the way. "She'd find out that he's really a bastard and probably lose her fangirlism of him."

"Hey!" Axel exclaimed, an annoyed look on his face. "I'm not a bastard, I was just born early." Dysis snorted at his comment and muttered something under her breath. "What was that?"

"I said—"

"Enough, you two." Vexen sighed as he sent them a weak glare. "You haven't known each other for that long and already you're bickering like old enemies."

"Oh Grandpa!" Sanura whined. "Don't stop it now! I was winning the bet!"

"Oh! I thought you guys were my friends!" Dysis huffed and crossed her arms. "Now why are you betting on me like I'm some dog?"

"Well," Axel said philosophically. "You are a bi—"

"XALDIN!" Vexen suddenly cried, catching the other man's attention. "Has Marluxia returned with the others?" Vexen asked, walking back a few steps to grab Dysis' arm. Without waiting for her to say anything (or attempt to pull away) he started dragging her forward with him as he walked over to the man. Aiko and Sanura looked at each other before trailing after the elder man and their friend.

Xaldin raised an eyebrow at the sight and shook his head. "No, Marluxia has yet to return…"

"Oh, really now?" Vexen ushered Dysis in front of him and started pushing her towards the dinning room's door. "Well, lets hope he comes back in time for dinner—inside the dinning room we go, girls." Dysis growled at him but chose not to comment. She pushed open the door to the dinning room and stepped in.

It was plain, yes, but still beautiful. A long wooden table was in the middle with roughly ten chairs on each side of it and one chair at the head of the table. Three diamond chandeliers adorned the ceiling (which was high up, mind you) and illuminated the room with bright, shiny lights with rainbow flecks scattered about. The girls 'ooh'ed and drifted off into La-La Land as they stared at the pretty lights.

Lo and behold, a loud splash drew them out of La-La Land and they looked over to see a very hyper Demyx chasing after water clones of himself. Sanura blinked then hid behind Aiko. "Water! Water torture! Keep him away from me!"

A loud shriek followed by a low whistle filled the air as a sliver creature shot out from under the table and started to attack a clone of Demyx. Demyx started to panic and wave his arms around frantically while screaming at Noodle to stop his nonsense.

The water clone rubbed the back of his head before losing its structure and leaving a big wet water… blob on the floor. The said blob inched its way over to Demyx's sitar and rejoined with it. "Aww! Noodle! Look what you did! You hurt his feelings!" Noodle made a soft noise and nodded its head.

"Ry! Ry! RYYYY!" It whirred as it did a back flip and started walking on its hands. "En! In! Xl!" It did another flip and landed on its feet. Xaldin ignored Noodle and Demyx walked pass them.

"Girls, take your seats, dinner will be served soon." Vexen instructed as he headed for the table. Demyx's eyes lit up when he saw who was there and placed his sitar against the wall. The trio looked at each other before following Vexen and taking their seats. Demyx hummed a soft tune as he slid into the seat next to Sanura, who in turned looked at him as if he were a stranger. He stopped humming and looked at her with wide eyes. They stayed like that for a few seconds before grinning like idiots and waved at each other.

Noodle, feeling a bit left out, let out a noise and jumped onto the table. "Anc! Anc!" He cried as he started to move in a very odd fashion. "Anc! Ance! DANCE! Xl anc!" Noodle's voice was now high pitched, practically matching the girl's tune-for-tune squeal. Axel scoffed and took his seat.

"I do not dance like that."

"Ance! Xl anc!"

"Noodle." The Nobody froze and looked over at Xaldin with uncertainty. "Get off the table." Noodle nodded and went boneless, sliding off the table with ease. "Now go get…" Xaldin trailed off and took a deep breath. "… Pasta, and help bring in the food." Noodle saluted the Nobody and sauntered off, all the while chanting 'Xl ak'.

"…Pasta." Sanura started. Xaldin tried not to sigh at her. "You named something Pasta! Who names a Dusk Pasta?" She peered over at Xaldin for an answer.

"I wasn't the one who named the Dusks, that would be Demyx." Xaldin notified, giving the boy a semi-glare. "And I don't even want to know where he got the idea to name them."

As if on cue, all three girls looked at Demyx, who only smiled with pride at them. "That's right! I named them and I'm proud of the names, too." It was silent for a few seconds before Sanura looked over at Xaldin.

"I wanna name one too!" Her eyes widened and started to tear up. Ah yes, the Puppy Eyes.

"Psst," Demyx leaned over. "That doesn't work on him, I've tried it a bazillion times already." True to his word, Xaldin sat down across Vexen without sparing the girl a glance. Sanura huffed and stuck her tongue out at him.

Within a couple of minutes, Larxene, Zexion, Lexaeus, and another Nobody (which Dysis identified to be Luxord) made their way into the dinning room and took their seats.

A loud trumpeting noise was heard as the doors were pushed open and Noodle, along with Pasta, walked in with trays on their heads. Noodle had a big bowl of spaghetti on its tray while Pasta had plates and silverware on its tray. They placed the trays on the table, made a noise, and hopped off the table. They 'sang' as they made their way out of the dining room.

.:La la la:.

Dysis twirled her fork around in her spaghetti and looked around the room. Sanura and Demyx were going on about some crazy thing that involved Vexen and Michael Jackson (nothing bad, just comparing their voices). The said Nobody and Aiko were talking about something sophisticated whilst Xaldin and Luxord, who had finished eating before hand, were helping themselves to wine. Larxene and Zexion were chatting peacefully (she heard something about blood vessels) and Axel was behaving.

Dysis narrowed her eyes at him as she raised the fork to her lips. The idiot (albeit a sexy one) never behaved unless he was planning to do something stupid. Or evil. Or both. She grinned at her conclusion and nodded to herself. She grinned wider when she caught Zexion glancing over at the redhead from the corner of her eye. At least she wasn't the only one who thought Axel was too well behaved.

Dinner went on peacefully with a couple of remarks from Axel (which eased Zexion and Dysis), threats from Larxene, and the occasional cheers from Demyx and Sanura. Dysis placed her fork down and slouched in her seat, closing her eyes and taking in the surrounding noise. No sooner had she done that, the dining room door was kicked open and she jumped about a foot into the air. Startled, everyone looked at the door.

In the doorway stood a very irritated man holding an equally irritated girl potato sack while a boy stood next to them, a small smile on his face. "I'm. Back." The man hissed through his teeth as the girl stopped pounding on his back and looked over his shoulder, an irritated look on her face. Without giving them a second glance, she resumed attacking the Nobody.

"Put me down! I'll kick your ass! FEAR ME, DAMMIT! FEEEEAR MEEEE!" The man clenched his free hand into a fist and hissed out a no. She pounded on his back a few more times before letting out a fierce growl and settling to her last resort: she pinched his butt. The boy turned to the side in an attempt to hide his laughter as the man yelped and threw the girl onto the ground.

"Oi! Don't throw Lexis! She has feelings too!" Sanura yelled, waving her fork at him. "Darn it, Ma… Ma…" Sanura leaned over and hissed over to Dysis. "What's his name again?"

"Who? Marluxia?"

"Marluxia, you meanie!" Sanura waved the fork at him in a threatening way. "If I had good aim, I would throw this at you."

Marluxia seemed unfazed by the threat; instead he was focused on Lexis, who pushed herself up from the floor. Lexis growled and dropped into a fighting position, glaring at both the boy and Marluxia. "Sebastian! Don't stand there and laugh! He kidnapped us, dammit! Help me kick his ass!"

Sebastian, the ever so wise emo-hair boy only shook his head.

"See," Marluxia said as he summoned his weapon. "Even the boy is smart enough to recognize a stronger opponent." Lexis growled and took stance to charge at him, but before anyone could move, a loud shriek filled the room.

"IT'S THE GIRLY PINK SCYTHE OF DOOM MAN! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO BEAT YOU! AND YOU ORDERED MIKEY TO DIE! YOU FIEND!" Sanura cried as she jumped on her chair, her eyes wild with anger as the recognizing of the Nobody clicked in her brain. "I GREW ATTATCHED TO MIKEY!"

"Mikey?" Zexion asked, looking over at Sanura with a quizzical look. Sanura paused in her fuming and pointed to Vexen, a cheery smile on her face.

"That's Mikey, 'cause he's like Michael Jackson." Vexen's eyes widened as everybody looked at him.

"A child molester, huh?" Axel grinned as he pushed the chair onto two legs, his green eyes glittering with Evil-Axelness. "No wonder you're all over the girls."

"No! NO!"

"DENIAL IS THE FIRST STEP TO ADMITING THE TRUTH! YOU ARE A CHILD MOLESTER!" Axel howled, giving Vexen a jeering look.

"NOOO!" Vexen had the overwhelming urge to smack the smirk off Axel's face with the thickest book he could find and then proceed to beat him up with the said book. "I'm NOT a child molester!"

"Lies." Axel said, waving his hand in the air as if to dismiss the topic. Vexen gritted his teeth, mentally scheduling an appointment with a very thick book and a certain redhead.

Lexis, seeing this as her chance to kill Marluxia, charged at him. Marluxia looked back at the girl and thrust his scythe out to catch her. She grinned as she grabbed onto it, hoisted herself up, and aimed to kick him square in the chest.

Unfortunately, it didn't quite go as planned and the Nobody disappeared, scythe and all, in wisps of black clouds. Lexis growled and landed on her feet. Before she could turn around, however, something cold and sharp was placed against her neck. "Still think you can take me on?" Marluxia asked, his voice filled with malice. He only got a growl in response.

"Enough of this foolishness." Xaldin said as he stood up. "Marluxia, release the girl." He ordered and the Nobody did as told, taking a few steps away from the girl. "Zexion," The blue-haired man looked up. "Take the two to their room. Girls, you are to retire for the night." Zexion and the girls nodded and stood up. They then migrated over to a fuming Lexis.

"Hey, Lex, you alright?" Aiko asked as she held Sanura back from attacking Marluxia, who was leaning against the wall.

Lexis allowed a short hiss to escape her lips before responding. "Yeah, no thanks to Sebastian." She glared at the boy who rubbed the back of his head.

"Hey, I know better than to charge at the first person that insults me." He replied. "Besides, everyone knows not to attack someone from Hooded Anonymous unless you have a death wish." Lexis glowered at him before muttering something along the lines of 'stupid brother' under her breath.

"Lexis, was it?" Se turned around to see Zexion behind her. Her eyes widened and a familiar glint of fangirlism started to show. "Shall I take you and Sebastian to your rooms now?" Lexis nodded. "Very well, follow me." He maneuvered his way around her and exited the doors.

"Oooh! Someone has a boyfriend! Someone has a boyfriend! Sebastian! Watch out! Your sister is already dating!" Dysis chirped as she ran after the two. Aiko shook her head and dragged a still struggling Sanura out the room.

Sebastian sighed.

This was going to be one hell of an adventure.
