I figured out the perfect way to drink something with ice cubes. Just freeze some of the liquid into ice cubes. Then, fill you glass with the drink of the same kind. Add the cubes and voila! No more watery drinks or inedible ice at the bottom of the glass! Just make sure you don't mix, like soda and Kool-Aid. Unless you like it that way. If you're not drinking the lemonade, don't eat the yellow ice!

Enjoy!

Xemnas was confused.

First off, he could have sworn that he was dead. He had been killed in the Realm of Darkness by the Keyblade wielders Sora and Riku. Well, at least he thought he had been killed. But the large animate stuffed bear he had woken up to had disagreed with that. Actually, the bear's existence had disagreed with all logic besides zombies and possession, although why anything would want to control a teddy bear was beyond him. The bear had introduced itself as 'Pooh', yet another mystery of the Universe for Xemnas to mull over, though this one was more obvious. Any question was put on halt as Pooh offered him some honey. After that everything became a sugary blur, though somewhere it involved Pooh, more honey, his aerial blades, demonic laughter, stuffing flying everywhere…

He never did like stuffed animals.

Then there had been something involving a whirlwind of paper and he was suddenly sitting on a wood floor being screamed at by a jumping girl. The girl had then hit her face on the ceiling and gone unconscious. Cue the silence.

As the girl didn't appear to be putting up a fight any time soon, Xemnas took the opportunity to find out where he was. Bits of paper were scattered on the floor and stuck to him thanks to the light honey coating he had received. The room as he could see it was dusty and ill kept, with stacks of books in random places and the occasional sock. A tea set sat on a raised pedestal in the center of the area, and a bed off to the right. All in all it was a dump. Xemnas snorted, then sneezed as dust got up his nose. That's it, he was out of there. Standing up, he tried vainly to brush off the pieces of paper and stuffing stuck to his skin. He couldn't pick them off, as they just got stuck to the honey on his hands. When it didn't work he shrugged and went over to the door, pausing for a moment to impudently kick the unconscious girl. She deserved it for yelling at him like that.

Xemnas shrieked as what he had perceived as a limp body moved. Not wanting to stick around if anything even weirder happened, the Superior wrenched open the door in front of him. And ran smack into Leon's legs. The gunblader stared at him in shock, as it was his turn to be confused.

Xemnas was only six years old.

Something very little known about the Organization's portals through the Darkness was that they only had a 25 chance of ending up at the proper destination. This was because controlling the Darkness enough to be exact took more energy than just jumping in. It was possible to lock a portal into place, as Xemnas had done in The World Than Never Was to make sure none of the Nobodies would have a problem finding it. Still, Demyx usually used the tactic on just jumping in and hoping wherever he ended up wouldn't be worse. Also, if a world hadn't been visited before, there was no guarantee on what it would be like. Axel had an incident involving a lava pit from that. So with all those factors against him, was it really any wonder that Demyx's portal ended up near the castle bailey?

More importantly, the broken section of the bailey.

It took Demyx a total of three second to realize that his portal had ended over empty space. Of course, by then gravity had taken over and he found himself on a quick trip to meet Mother Earth. And Mother wasn't very happy to see him.

So now he was laying on his back wondering if his skull had been cracked open and his brains were leaking all over the dirt and watching the world spin. He was content to stay like that, but then the ground underneath him moved. Squirmed, actually.

"Demyx…get off…"

The blonde started as whatever he way laying on spoke. It took his scrambled and leaking brain a moment to place the voice. Zexion. But why was he under Demyx? Oh yeah, that's right. Zexion had went through the portal before him. Which would mean that he had made it to the ground first, and that Demyx had landed on him.

Ouch.

Without saying anything, the blonde musician rolled off his superior and Zexion took a gasping breath. Demyx wasn't heavy heavy, but it was still hard to breathe when somebody was laying across his stomach. Particularly if that person had fallen on him from over 15 feet up. Regaining his composure, Zexion rolled over onto his hands and knees to better survey the area. Demyx was laying just a few feet away on his stomach and staring contently at his superior, but there was no sign of Lexaeus. Zexion growled under his breath and stood up, brushing himself off.

"Demyx?" The musician glanced at him.

"Yes my supreme taco?" Zexion raised an eyebrow above the edge of the blindfold but otherwise ignored the comment.

"Where the hell are we?"

At this Demyx had to think a little. Sitting on his knees he glanced around at the rubble that was colored his now least favorite color: blue. He scratched behind his ear and glanced up and Zexion, who was tapping his foot impatiently.

"Well, I was aiming for Hollow Bastion, so…I have no clue!" Zexion's eye twitched warningly and he opened his mouth to yell at the blonde, but was interrupted as a piercing shriek cut through the air. To Zexion, it sounded a lot like Demyx if he was on fire, which happened with surprising frequency to a guy who could control water. Demyx got the entertainment of what looked like Zexion screaming like a girl. The screams were moving towards them, on the bailey above. Before either one of the Nobodies could react, something came flying off the stone parapet and onto Demyx. Both he and the thing collapsed back onto the ground.

It was now that Zexion got a good 'look' at whatever the thing was. It appeared to be a kid, around six or seven, with shoulder length feathery white hair. He was wearing a black hoodie, matching shorts and shoes, all of which was covered in tiny pieces of paper and honey. Apparently the fall hadn't injured him at all, as he immediately perched on Demyx's back and started looking around. Zexion gaped as he realized who it was/.

"Xemnas!"

"Wha?" Demyx said, disconnecting his head from the ground and attempting to look over his shoulder at the sticky mess sitting on his back. "That's Xemnas?" Zexion nodded weakly as the child's eyes darted between him and Demyx. The blonde lifted his upper body a little with his arms to get a better look at the boy, and then he said something that seemed completely random.

"We should call him 'Xemmy'." His Superior and fellow Organization member stared at him like he had grown a head out of his butt. As his arms were occupied with holding up his weight, he had to settle for a small shrug. "What? I just can't think of him as Xemnas, our Superior and all that stuff. He looks more like a Xemmy now." The dubbed glared at him with an offended look.

"Excuse me, but what gives you the right to give me a new name?" He demanded. Demyx shrugged again and the toddler sighed. Sliding off of Demyx, he brushed himself off uselessly and crossed his arms, staring expectantly at Zexion. Demyx moved into a cross-legged position and began an inspection of the gooey mess on his back.

"Zexion, what are you doing here? I thought you were dead," Xemmy said.

"So were you," Demyx pointed out, earning himself a glare from his Superior. Zexion frowned and crossed his arms, adopting a thinking pose.

"We all were. For some reason we're alive again, but all in different worlds. I found Demyx here in Hell, and together we found Lexaeus in the Olympus Coliseum. So, Xemnas, where were you?" The child made a face of disgust.

"In a book with a talking bear," he muttered. Demyx cocked his head and left his back alone for a moment.

"Winnie the Pooh?" He asked. Zexion raised an eyebrow at the question.

"And you know this world how?" Demyx merely shrugged and began pulling bits of paper out of Xemmy's hair, receiving a yell of pain for his efforts.

"Well, whatever," Zexion continued. "For some reason, the world you came to life in changed your appearance, giving you the body of a six-year-old. But why didn't it effect the three of us?" he pondered. Demyx laughed and rocked back a little.

"Don't think too hard; you'll strain your undead brain," he said. Xemmy rolled his eyes and turned to face the Nobody behind him.

"You said Lexaeus was here. Where is he?" Zexion stopped think for a moment and looked around.

"Now that you mention it, where is Lexaeus? He came through the portal with us; he should be here." The blonde shrugged again as Zexion 'stared' at him expectantly. Zexion narrowed his eyes and was about to say something sharp towards Demyx when another shout pierced the air. All three Nobodies looked up to see a man with brown hair and a weird sword standing on the edge of the wall. With hardly any effort he jumped from the lip to the ground in front of the Organization members and whirled around, bringing his sword up into a battle position. The sword was a weird hybrid that looked like a cross between a huge pocketknife and a gun. The Nobodies stared in shock for a moment before Demyx started clapping madly. He stopped when Xemmy hit him on the head.

"Who are you?" the brunette questioned. "And what did you do to Yuffie?"

Zexion titled his head slightly. "Yuffie?"

"Don't play dumb! That kid over there did something to her!" The man yelled, gesturing with his weapon in Xemmy's direction. The child had to think for a moment before he could remember the only girl he had seen so far.

"Oh, the screaming chick. Nah, I didn't do anything to her," he said, waving his hand slightly. The man's shoulders sagged a little as he processed this.

"But…why is she unconscious?"

"She hit her face on the ceiling," he replied calmly. The fighter let his sword drop in disbelief, staying like that for a few moments while Demyx tried not to laugh out loud. After a while he shook his head.

"Sounds just like her. Alright, my name is Leon." Zexion stepped forwards a little.

"Zexion, Demyx, Xemnas," he stated, pointing to each in turn. Demyx stood up and gave himself a once-over, sighing when the results came back disgusting.

"Hey, have you seen a big guy, orange hair, wearing cloaks like these around here anywhere? We've kinda misplaced him," he said. Leon scratched the back of his head.

"No, sorry." Demyx sighed again as Zexion waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright. I need to ask a favor from you. Can you watch him-" he pointed at Xemmy, "-while Demyx and I hunt for our other companions?" Leon thought for a moment before shrugging.

"Eh, sure. I'll dump him off with Aerith." Zexion nodded and turned back to his Superior. Before the boy could open his mouth Zexion held up a hand.

"Sir, this is for your own good. You won't be able to help much in your current body. Besides, you can look for Lexaeus and the others while you're here at Radiant Garden." Xemnas scrunched up his face a little before sighing in defeat and nodding. With that agreement Zexion turned back to Demyx, who was waiting with his hands on his hips.

"Ready to go?" he asked mischievously. Zexion shrugged and uncrossed his arms, opening a portal into the darkness as he did so.

"Sure, whatever. Let's just get this over with."

And there! Average length taking too long to write because I'm lazy, even though the written version has been complete since the last chapter. Oh well.

Re-inspired due to watching the Demyx Happy Song at Youtube (see it!) and felt like typing. That was due to the fact that I took an Adderall to clean my room and have some attention span left over. It's not ADD; it's a short attention span I tell ya!

Rather dull, don't you think? Next time, we hit with both Xigbar and Axel! And yes Kenzie, you get to appear. Sorta.

'Til next time!
