Well, after not having any ideas, I decided to make a silly parody of church for this chapter. And for those who will think it racist, hey, I am black, so I can make fun of it. Heck, I think anyone can make fun of it as long as their doing it in good humor. So, here's the weekend for Ven after being invited for church by Prof. Sazh…as he had nothing else to do.

Odd Services

Saturday, September 5th, 5 p.m., Pellegrino household…

Ven and Roxas huddled around the computer in their room as they were watching a trailer from their favorite gaming company, Square Enix. The two also saw the images of Sora, Riku, Kairi and several of their friends from Radiant Garden on the computer screen as they were in a hangout. The rather large internet group looked at the first of the gaming trailers and saw that it was for a game they waited for: Dead Fantasy versus XIII.

"GAAH!" Ven screamed.

The group looked at Ven and he said, "Sorry."

"Oh no…" Luneth muttered.

Vivi's face lit up and he yelled, "Oh god! It says it in the yellow!"

The group saw the game's creator, Tetsuya Nomura speaking to the audience. He told everyone that he had no information on the game and that he had trailers prepared for everyone. So, Zack and Lea laughed.

"Bwah-hah-ha-ha! They so trolled you guys!" Zack laughed.

"Yep. It's like Square was saying, 'Hey! Audience! We don't care! Look at the trailer!" Lea added.

"Can you two shut up so we can watch?" Isa yelled.

Everyone was silent as the trailer commenced. The main character of the game was seen as well as the logo. The character was talking with a female and the two could apparently see "the light." After the character was shown riding in a car, Firion yelled, "All I know about this guy is that he wears black! All I know is his name is Noches and he wears black! That's all I know!"

Zidane chuckled and said, "I loved the way you said that."

More of the trailer was revealed and Sora asked, "So? Are they going to give us info?"

"I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold it back for the Gamestation 4," Riku told him.

"That sounds bad," Ven told him.

The group then saw the in game footage. "Oh god…I need this game…" Kairi muttered.

Ven looked at his phone and saw a text. He said, "Yuffie's looking at the trailer too. She said, 'This is Dead Fantasy'!"

The trailer ended with the characters saying that the "legend has met its match." The original logo shattered to reveal "Dead Fantasy XV."

The group's reaction was loud and expected. "They freakin' did it! YES!" Sora screamed.

The others screamed, cheered and even cried. "Oh my god…" Roxas said.

"Those freakin' jerks! I'm such a freakin' fanboy!" Sora cried.

Riku and Kairi laughed.

"Why would you call them that?" Luneth asked.

"That's why he doesn't have info on versus XIII…" Sora said.

"My head hurts…" Ven moaned.

The group turned their attention from Sora and back to the trailer and saw the trailer for a new Radiant Hearts game. Confused at what he saw, Ven said, "What is this? This can't be…"

"Yeah. I think this is Radiant Hearts 1.5," Zack told him.

"No…It can't be look at the graphics," Isa noted.

"OH MY GOD!" Roxas screamed.

"No. Don't do this to me. Don't do this to me!" Lea said, nearly in tears.

"You're done, Lea," Luneth laughed.

The reveal of the game's logo caused for many of them to scream as it read: Radiant Hearts III. Ven began dancing. Zack fainted. Kairi burst into tears while the others screamed and shouted in joy.

"It's Radiant Hearts III!" Ven cheered while performing the "Carlton."

"HOLY CRAP!" Roxas screamed.

"What am I looking at?" Firion cried.

Small gameplay footage was shown and the others kept screaming, cheering and/or crying. Roxas started crying as he saw that the game was in development. After the trailers were over, Ven said, "WOO! We gonna get good games this year! Woo!"

The door to their room opened and Eraqus saw the crying Roxas.

"Who screamed?" he asked.

"Dad, it's Radiant Hearts III! That's why Roxas is crying," Ven said.

"So, he's crying over a game? Odd. Well, since I am good friends with Prof. Katzroy, he has invited our family to the christening of his niece," Eraqus told the twins.

"Wait, we're not going to mass?" Roxas asked.

"No. We shall visit their church on tomorrow. Rest up, it starts early," Eraqus told them and left.

Sunday, 10 a.m., Radiant COOLJC…

After waking up early and dressing in their best, the Pellegrino family headed to the southeastern part of Radiant Garden to visit Prof. Sazh's church. The church, a rather small traditional style edifice, looked rather cramped to the family as they were used to their large chapel. The group saw that the congregation wore their very best and they were relieved as they thought they had overdressed.

Ven and Roxas saw Prof. Sazh in a suit as well as his son, Dajh. The two were sitting next to their rather large family and greeted the Pellegrinos when they had arrived. After making room for the family of five, Prof Sazh warned, "Well, I know you won't be used to how we do things around here. So, this service may be longer than what you're used to…depending if nothing crazy happens."

"Yeah. That's if Lisa doesn't sing that weird version of 'Drunk in Love' again," Dajh added.

"What? Why would she sing Beyoncé in church?" Ven asked.

"I dunno. The pastor sat her down 'cause he said it had nothing to do with Jesus," Dajh told him.

The service started and Ven and Roxas observed what the congregants were doing. Some stood up to sing, others clapped while the visitors, like them, stayed seated. When it came to the first prayer, Ven, Roxas, Aqua and Terra were about to kneel when Dajh said, "No. Stand up!"

"What? Why?" Roxas asked.

"We stand when we pray. Just bow your heads," Prof. Sazh told them.

They did and the family found the prayer to be rather long. Instead of chanting like they would, the pastor had another person, an elder, pray. The elder prayed with a rather large vocabulary, confusing Ven and Roxas.

'What? What's "omniscient"? What's "omnipresent"? What's "omnipotent"? I'm confused!' Ven thought.

After the prayer was over, the Katzroy family, along with the Pellegrinos, headed to the altar to christen Prof. Sazh's niece. As the pastor prayed, someone yelled, "YES LORD!"

"SHH! Don't interrupt!" Ven said to one of Dajh's aunts.

Dajh's aunt looked at him, confused, and another person yelled, "DO IT LORD!"

Roxas turned to one of Dajh's older cousins and asked, "Are you with her?"

Dajh poked the twins in their sides and whispered, "You can say something if you agree."

"What? We're allowed to talk? Are you serious?" Ven asked.

So, Roxas did something that was quite…rude and culturally insensitive.

"WHO-DI-HOO!" he yelled.

"SHH!" the Katzroy family said, shushing the rude Roxas.

The prayer ended with the Katzroy family not too happy with the twins. Despite the christening being over, the service continued and Eraqus refused to leave, stating that it would be rude. So, the complaints from his children began…most of them from Terra.

"What time is it?" Terra asked Aqua.

"It's nearly 12:00. Service should be over soon," Aqua told him.

To Prof. Sazh and his family's horror, the same woman Dajh spoke of stood up for her solo and began singing. She began singing a "Gospel" version of an Alicia Keys' song and was promptly taken out of the pulpit.

"Why was she singing Alicia Keys? That had nothing to do with Jesus! C'mon, it's 12:00! I wanna go home!" Terra complained.

"Shh, Terra, it hasn't been that long," Aqua said.

The family saw the choir sing and two of the songs were catchy. Ven started dancing in his seat, but his fun was ruined with Terra complained again.

"A third song? Are they serious? It's 12:30! I'm ready to go home!" Terra complained.

"Terra, shut up," Aqua ordered.

After the choir had finished with their three song selections, the pastor began preaching. As he did, Ven and Roxas heard the congregants agree rather loudly. So, Ven added his.

"Yeah!" he yelled.

"PREACH ON IT!" Roxas added.

Aqua and Terra stared at the twins as they yelled in agreement, wondering why. Terra looked at the clock on his phone and saw that it was 1:00 in the afternoon. His poor stomach growled and he moaned, "It's 1:00! I'm starving! I didn't eat breakfast!"

After the pastor was done, the offering receptacles were passed around. Each person gave what they could and the family was ready to go home. They were about to get up when Eraqus glared at them. The four stayed still in their seats and saw that the pastor had finally let them go after announcements and a benediction.

To Eraqus's surprise, the four left, running to the car for dear life. Prof. Sazh walked to his friend and said, "Okay…It wasn't that long, was it?"

"No. They're just used to getting something to eat by 11:00. I'm so sorry for their behavior," Eraqus told him.

"Nah, think nothing of it. We get that a lot from the newbies," Prof. Sazh said.

With a laugh, Eraqus left, only to scold his children in the parking lot.

So, Roxas nearly did something racist and the Pellegrino family can't take staying in church for too long. Sadly, I know of people who do that. They can't take being in a place for only two hours and nearly try to run out of the church when we're dismissed. I don't get that. It's not that long at all for me. Oh well. Review?
