This will probably be the most insane, cheese-like chapter in this story. It is full of randomosity...so, if you are easily affected by things like this...TURN BACK NOW!

Disclaimer: -sigh- Do I really have to keep on repeating this stuff? We don't own KH. We also don't own any of the music sung in this chapter, nor the bands...ESPECIALLY MICHAEL JACKSON! -shudders and hides eyes-

So, if you are signed into the mental institute after reading this...please, don't drag us into it! We put up a warning -points to above sentences-


oOo

-the next afternoon-

Everyone had left the lounge...Well Kat and Larxene were still there but they were the reason everyone left. They were fighting, again...Kaida, Zexion, Axel, and Roxas were watching to make sure they didn't kill each other.

'I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE THEM KEEP ME IN THAT STUPID BOOK!'

'MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH A WITCH PEOPLE WOULD WANT YOU AROUND'

'I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT! WHAT DOES HE SEE IN YOU ANYWAYS?'

'KEEP AXEL OUT OF THIS. YOUR JUST JEALOUS ANYWAYS!'

'YEA RIGHT!'

'YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE JUST INSECURE AREN'T YOU. YOUR ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO DO AND WHAT THEY NEED AND WHAT THEY DID WRONG. WE GET TIRED OF IT YOU KNOW!'

'WELL SINCE I LIKE TELLING PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO WRONG, WHY DON'T YOU WEAR SOME COLOR! BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK IS THAT ALL YOU EVER WEAR? OH WAIT YOU WEAR WHITE RED AND CAMO TOO HUH?'

Kat turned red. 'IN-CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED I'M KINDA EMO! EMO'S USUALY WEAR BLACK!'

Before anyone knew what was happening Music started playing and Kat started singing.

There you go

You're always so right

It's all a big show

It's all about you

You think you know

What everyone needs

You always take time

To criticize me

It seems like everyday

I make mistakes

I just can't get it right

It's like I'm the one

You love to hate

But not today

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

There you go

You never ask why

It's all a big lie

Whatever you do

You think you're special

But I know, and I know

And I know, and we know

That you're not

You're always there to point

Out my mistakes

And shove them in my face

It's like I'm the one

You love to hate

But not today

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

Is gonna bring me down

Will never bring me down

Don't tell me who I should be

And don't try to tell me what's right for me

Don't tell me what I should do

I don't wanna waste my time

I'll watch you fade away

So shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Don't wanna hear it

Get out, get out, get out

Get out of my way

Step up, step up, step up

You'll never stop me

Nothing you say today

Is gonna bring me down

Bring me down

(shut up, shut up, shut up)

Won't bring me down

(shut up, shut up, shut up)

Bring me down

(shut up, shut up, shut up)

Won't bring me down

Shut up, shut up, shut up

When she finished Kat looked at her friends with a confused face. 'What the heck?'

'Um, Kat? What just happened?'

'I have no clue.'

Jon and Kairi walked into the room...' Please Jon?! Please, please say yes...Can we go out tonight?' Kairi was pulling on Jon.

'No, Kairi...No, No, No, a million times, No...'

'But, Jon!?'

'No, I told you, I don't like you.'

'But what about las---'

'I said no, ok?' Jon said his face reddening. In the background some music started playing. Everyone sat on the couch to watch this interesting piece. Jon turned to face everyone and a mic. suddenly appeared in his right hand.

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

'O.M.G. (0.o)' Everyone stared. Kairi giggled quietly.

'What th-- Uh..Why di---.Bu--M--.HOLY CRAP!' Jon blushed a deep crimson and ran out of the room. (a/n he is going to kill us. hide the sharp/pointy objects)(He can't hurt us...He is a weakling...besides he'd a little busy at the moment...-throws head back and laughs maniacally-... Kat: What did you do? Kaida: -whispers in Kat's ear- I attacked him and sold him on ebay -hides hammer and duct tape-... Kat: As what? Kaida: Well, it is illegal to sell people...so, I sold him as a sack of tomatoes. )

Kat and Kaida looked at each other then cracked up. 'Omg thats so funny'

Kat fell on the floor laughing. 'Yea. It was...' She stood up and wiped her eyes. 'Ok. Time to be a friend and tell him it wasn't that bad.'

'Good luck with that...'

'Gee thanks.'

Kat walked over to where Jon was hiding. 'Jon, its not that bad.'

'Yea, it is...'

'No, its not...'

'Yea it is.'

-To Kaida and Kairi-

'So Kairi what happened with you and Sora?'

'Yea, well I caught him kissing another girl...'

'Really? Sora didn't seem like that type...'

'Well thats what I said, until he started dating her...'

Right now,
He's probably slow dancing with a bleach blonde tramp
And she's probably getting frisky
Right now,
He's probably buying her some fruity little drink
'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
Right now,
He's probably up behind her with a pool stick showing
Her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know...

I dug my key into the side of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Right now,
She's probably up singing some white trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now,
She's probably saying I'm drunk and he's thinking that he's gonna get lucky
Right now,
He's probably dabbing on three dollars worth of that bathroom polo
Oh, and he don't know...

That I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

I mighta saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me
No, not on me

'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little suped up four wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
Took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Oh maybe next time he'll think before he cheats
Oh before he cheats

O.O 'Dang don't tick off Kairi...'

-Axel and Roxas-

Does anyone else find it weird that we're all just randomly singing songs? With music no less.'

Roxas nodded. 'Yea, but when Kat, Jon, Anna, Emily, and now Kaida show up no telling what will happen..'

'True...'

-In the hallway...uh, by Xenmas' room...-

'Kat?'

'Yeah Kai?'

'What's that music?'

The girls both put their ears to Xemnas' door. A second later the both burst into laughter...

'HE'S LISTENING TO MICHAEL JACKSON?!'

'ZOMG...' The girls burst into Xemnas' room.

'DON'T YOU EVER KNOCK?' Xemnas said, quickly covering up his computer screen.

'Nope...Xem..what are you watching?'

'Uhh nothing?!' He said, his eyes darting around the room. 'AH! HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS?' His mind thought.

'Xemnas? You can't hide anything from us...we're girls.. -cough- andtheauthors -cough-'

'Um, I'm not---hiding anything.'

'Ok, then, step away from the computer...'

'No.'

The girls glared at Xemnas.

'OK! Fine...' Xemnas moved.

'Thriller?"

'Well its a cool music video...and...Michael Jackson is freakin' awesome!'

Both of the girls gaped...

Xemnas started to walk slowly out of the room when colourful lights started twirling around. Xemnas stopped where he was, turned around, and started throwing his arms into the air...A black hat was covering one eye and he had on one white glove...

(Feel FREE to skip these music lyrics...We won't mind at all.)

Xemnas stopped dancing and turned around, his back to Kat and Kaida. The music stopped, and he turned to face the girls. His hat and glove were gone.

'Kaida? Kat?'

'X.x'

'X.x'

Xemnas edged closer. 'Are you ok?'

'D-dddd don't c-c-c-c-come any closer.' Kat said, shaking. Her hands over her eyes.

'I AM SO SCARRED FOR LIFE!!!!' Kaida shrieked.

'What did I do?' Xemnas asked, clearly unaware what he had just done. 'It was only a music video!"

Kaida and Kat ran wildly out of the room covering their ears.

The girls ran to their guys and hugged them 'It. Was. So. Terrible.'

'No. Amount. Of. Therapy. Will. Help.'

'MAKE THE VISUALS GO AWAY!!!!'

'What happened?' Zexion asked after their rant.

'You walked in on Xemnas singing and dancing didn't you.'

They both nodded. Axel and Zexion shuddered.

'What was he singing this time?'

'Michel Jackson...'

X.x

The girls shrank into their boys' arms.

'I'm scared. Hold me.' Kat and Kaida said, shaking.

'That was the worst thing I've ever seen in my years.' Kaida said.

'Heck yeah.'

Some music came on and Axel and Zexion started singing.

Axel:

Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight

I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry

Zexion:

For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry

Both:

'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here
in my heart always
Always

The music quit and Kat and Kaida stared wide-eyed at the confused boys.

'That was weird.'

Kat looked at Kaida 'Sweet, But weird.'

'Why is everyone singing?' Zexion wondered.

Then the four looked at each other. 'Anna and Emily'

-A and E-

'Uh oh Anna, They caught on..We never should have stalked Kaida...You forgot she was telepathic didn't you!'

'Don't worry Emily It will only be for this chapter' (a/n Kat pops out of nowhere. Hey! No breaking the fourth Wall!!!)

'Ok...'

'Plus its not like they can do anything.'

'True'

-The lounge-

Kat, Kaida, Axel, and Zexion walked into the lounge and sat down.

When she saw what was on the TV Kat shuddered. 'Why are we watching 'America's Next Top Model'?'

'I like it.' Kairi said. Trying to defend the show.

'Its like a commercial for diet pills, and fake pictures.' Kat complained.

Then music started playing and Everyone, minus Kairi, started singing

Kat:

Tell me what's wrong with society

When everywhere I look I see

Young girls dying to be on TV

Won't stop 'til they've reached their dreams

Kaida:

Diet pills, surgery

Photoshopped pictures in magazines

Telling them how they should be

It doesn't make sense to me

Everyone:

Is everybody going crazy?

Is anybody gonna save me?

Can anybody tell me what's going on?

Tell me what's going on

If you open your eyes

You'll see that something is wrong

Riku:

I guess things are not how they used to be

There's no more normal families

Parents act like enemies

Making kids feel like it's World War III

Roxas:

No one cares, no one's there

I guess we're all just too damn busy

And money's our first priority

It doesn't make sense to me

Everyone:

Is everybody going crazy?

Is anybody gonna save me?

Can anybody tell me what's going on?

Tell me what's going on

If you open your eyes

You'll see that something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?

Is everybody going crazy?

Sora:

Tell me what's wrong with society

When everywhere I look I see

Rich guys driving big SUV's

While kids are starving in the streets

No one cares

No one likes to share

I guess life's unfair

Everyone:

Is everybody going crazy?

Is anybody gonna save me?

Can anybody tell me what's going on?

Tell me what's going on

If you open your eyes

You'll see that something something is wrong

Is everybody going crazy?

Can anybody tell me what's going on?

Tell me what's going on

If you open your eyes

You'll see that something is wrong

'But what does that have to do with America's Next Top Model?' Kairi said, after the music had faded.

'Clueless...'Kaida muttered.

'Wha? Kaira questioned.

Kat sighed, 'Oh, nothing...Jon? What do you see in her?'

Jon blushed.

'Jon? Do you need a mask?'

'Why?'

'Well, your cheeks are about as red as Axel's hair.' Kaida pulls a mask out of her pocket. She stared at it open-mouthed

Kat looked at her. 'Anna and Emily really are messing with us today.'

"Yeah.' She handed Jon the mask.

Out of nowhere everyone was in a huge theater. They were dressed in ballgowns and had masks over their faces.

A gauze half conceals the tableau of guests at the
opera ball. The guests (whom we cannot yet see
clearly) are in fancy dress a peacock, a lion, a
dragon, Mephistopheles, a highwayman, a clown,
knights, ladies, an executioner. M. SORA enters.
He is dressed as a skeleton in an opera cape. Almost
immediately M. ROXAS arrives.He is also dressed
as a skeleton in an opera cape. The two skeletons see
each other and approach nervously

SORA:
M'sieur Roxas?
ROXAS:
M'sieur Sora?
(Each raises his mask to the other. They recognise each
other.)
ROXAS:
Dear Sora
what a splendid party!

SORA:
The prologue
to a bright new year!

ROXAS:
Quite a night!
I'm impressed!

SORA:
Well, one does
one's best . . .

SORA/ROXAS(raising their (drinking) glasses; which so happen to be in their hands)
Here's to us!
ROXAS:
I must say, all the same, that
it's a shame that 'Phantom'
fellow isn't here!

(The gauze lifts fully to reveal the staircase of the
opera house. The opera ball begins. Among the
guests are four carrying strange percussion
instruments: a monkey with cymbals, a toy soldier
with a drum, a triangle, bells. Together they play
weirdly throughout)
CHORUS

(The ENSEMBLE activity becomes background, as
ROXAS, SORA, RIKU, MARLUXIA, LARXENE, and KAIRI
come to the fore, glasses in hand)
RIKU

(They clink glasses and move off)

(Dance section, in which Kat and Kaida almost
coquettish, almost jittery, go from man to man. But too
many of their partners spin them with increasing force. Both of them are slighty dizzy.
Eventually Zexion and Axel rescue them and holds the girls tightly. They
whirl them back into the dance, as the music heads
towards its climax.)

Take your fill -

The lights fade, and everyone is teleported back into the lounge. They still had on their outfits and/or dresses. The masks were gone.

'I have to say,' Roxas said, 'That was the weirdest one yet.'

'I agree,' Everyone, except Kat and Kaida, said. (Xemnas was juuust a bit freakier...)

'Please tell me they won't get even weirder...'

'Hey, maybe this only happens when some one knows a song that sorta goes with what's happening.'

'Yea, so just don't talk about stuff that sounds like it might be about a song.'

Kat and Kaida looked at each other. 'That might be a tad difficult.'

'Yea,' Kat agreed. 'I even know a song about the seven deadly sins...' Everyone looked at her. 'What? Its true!'(a/n Bank of Bad Habits by Jimmy Buffet. Its what Demyx sang for karaoke in chapter 4.)

'Kaida? I'm going to go change...this dress is breathtaking.'

'I know, it is quite tight."

'K, Do you need to get you stuff? Or did you put your clothing in our closet.'

'Closet.'

'Ok.' The girls headed to their closet. (Kat? You know what I've been wondering? Why did we not write ourselves a room? I mean we wrote ourselves a closet and a bathroom...well, nvm... :D)

After changing, they heard a knock on the door.

'Are you both decent?' They heard Axel ask

'Yep, come on in.'

'Here, we brought you two lunch.' Zexion said, Handing a veggie burger to Kaida and a ham sandwich to Kat.

'Thanks.' They said.

'This is good,' Kat said, after taking a bite of her sandwich, 'What kind of meat is this?'

'Oscar Mayer.'

'Oh crap.' Zexion muttered.

'Myyyyy Balo---' Kaida and Kaida stopped, 'Wait thats not right. -Ahem-' Kat and Kaida cleared their throats.

'Theeeeeee Superior has a first name--

It's XE-M-N-A-S!

The superior has a second name--

It's MA-N-S-E-X!

He lives up to them every day--

And if you ask us why we'll saaaaaaaaay--

Cause Our Superior, has a way, with scre----'

'Do you seriously want to die?' Zexion and Axel asked, interrupting the girl's song.

'Come on...its just a made-up song' Kat said.

'A very true made-up song.' Kaida said, grinning.

'Yes, we know that, but, Xemnas and/or Saix would kill you if they heard you singing that.

'Ha.' Kat scoffed.

'I'd like to see them try.'

'Believe me...that would be a freaky fight.' Kat said.

-That night-

Kaida's 'demon-self' had taken over. Tonight, it was all Zexion could do to keep her from killing herself. She was pacing in the hallway. 'mih htiw eb t'nac uoY.' Who are you to tell me what I can and Can't do?' ' Daed mih tnaw uoy fi, mih evah nac uoy, llew...' Kaida froze. She cringed at the thought of hurting him again. Slowly dreading what she was about to say she walked to Zexion's room. 'Zexion?' He looked up from his book. 'Yes, Kaida?'

'I can't...We cant'...I won't...I...'

Music started playing and she started singing...

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
than to harm the one I love

What have you done now?!

I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?

What have you done now?!

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
'cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What have you done?

What have you done now?!

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done now, what have you done?...

I will not fall, won't let it go
We will be free when it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us, between me and you

'Kaida, It will be ok. I promise.' She nodded, wearily, as she hugged Zexion but she couldn't ignore her counter-self laughing evily in the back of her mind.

-the next afternoon-

Everyone slept late the next morning, even Roxas. It probably was because they were all so tired from the sporadic singing. Anyways, Kairi had finally convinced the girls to go shopping with her. Well, convinced? I'd say annoyed to the point of them saying 'yes.'

'Come on, girls...It'll be fun. We can get tons of new clothes, jewelry and make-up'

Kaida and Kat gagged. 'Kairi? We can do that here. Kat and I both hate shopping.'

'Please?'

'No,' Kat said.

'I'll go,' Namine said. (well, what'd you think?)

'Well, Kaida, Kat...you both need to act and dress like girls.'

Kaida looked down at her skirt and corset and smirked. 'Uh, Kairi? Oook, let me get this straight...I wear corsets and skirts...yet I don't dress like a girl?'

'Well, its mainly Kat.'

Kat glared and looked at what she was wearing. 'I agree with Kaida. I may not wear skirts, but I don't dress like a man.'

'Not at all.' Kaida said.

'Come on? Baggy cargo pants? Sorta tight jeans? Thats man-ish.'

Kaida and Kat laughed. 'Man-ish?'

'Ok, then..what do we need to wear to look like women?'

Kairi just stood there..probably confused. She's not too smart, you know. 'Well, I guess its the way you act...You two are too tough.'

'And thats a bad thing...how?' Kat asked.

'Seriously. How is that a bad thing?'

Kairi sighed...'Please go?! It won't be fun with just me and Namine.

'Sorry...'

'PLEASE?'

'No.'

'PLEASE!?!?!?!'

'Fine.' Kat said.

'But, on one condition...if you can keep your mouth shut.'

'Fine...' Kairi smiled, 'Now, I'm going to help you dress more like women and not men.

Kat rolled her eyes and Kaida smirked.

Music started. 'Oh great.' Kat muttered.

Kairi started singing. So did Namine. And whether they wanted to or not, Kaida and Kat did, too.

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

The girls need a break-tonight we're gonna take
The chance to get out on the town
We don't need romance-we only wanna dance
We're gonna let our hair hang down

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun (fun, fun)

Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady

'Lets go guys!!!'

As Kairi dragged her victims to the mall. Kat and Kaida couldn't help one last ditch effort.

'Axel, Zexion HELP!!! SHE'S TRYING TO TAKE US TO THE MALL!!'

-four hours later-

'I can't take much more of this!' Kat yelled in frustration. Kairi had insisted on buying everything she thought looked good on her or anyone else.(She had Xemnas's credit card what did she care of the cost?)

'Just hang on Kat. Surely this can't go on much longer...'

Suddenly music started playing, Kat 'Uhhg. Not again!' Kat complained. Facing the facts Kaida and Kat started singing.

You're not alone, together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold, and it feels like the end
There's no place to go, you know I won't give in

(Ahh, ahh)
No I won't give in
(Ahh, ahh)

Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you can say (Nothing you can say)
Nothing you can do (Nothing you can do)
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So - keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away, I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close, and it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend

(Ahh, ahh)
I'll fight and defend
(Ahh, ahh)
Yeeah, yeah

Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you can say (Nothing you can say)
Nothing you can do (Nothing you can do)
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So - keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly

Yeeah, yeah, yeah, yeaaaah
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you

There's nothing you can say (Nothing you can say)
Nothing you can do (Dooo, do)
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So - keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

(Ahh, ahh)
(Ahh, ahh)
Keep holding on
(Ahh, ahh)
(Ahh, ahh)
Keep holding on

There's nothing you can say (Nothing you can say)
Nothing you can do (Doo, do)
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So - keep holding on (Keep holding on)
Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

During the song Kairi and Namine had left the two girls alone.

'Kai, their gone...'

'Are you thinking what I'm thinking Kat?'

'Your the mind reader.'

'Lets blow this joint!'

With a sigh of relief the two girls teleported back to the castle.

-Back at the castle-

Axel and Zexion walked into the hallway to two very weary and relieved girls.

'MUHAHAHA!' Kat laughed dramatically.

'WE MADE IT BACK ALIVE!!!' Kaida yelled.

'WE'RE SURVIVERS!' Kat shrieked, and music started playing...'Oh crap...not another song.'

(AN: The Song here is Survivor by Beyoncé. Kat and I just re-worded it a bit to fit the story.)

Now that we're out of the mall
We're so much better,
You thought that we'd be happy there,
But we weren't,
You thought that we'd be man-leh without ya,
But we're girl-eh, (to some extent)
You thought that we'd enjoy being there,
We laugh at you,
You thought we couldn't dress with out ya ,
But we're pimpin' (haha for lack of a better term),
You thought that we'd be helpless without ya,
But we're smarter,
You thought that we'd be bored without ya,
But we're chillin'
You thought we couldn't shop without ya,
It was like a killin'

[Chorus
We are survivors (what),
We're not gonna give up (what),
We're not gon' stop (what),
We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),
We're gonna make it (what),
We will survive (what),
And keep on survivin' (what),
We are survivors (what),

We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),
We're gonna make it (what),
We will survive (what),
And keep on survivin' (what),

(Verse 2)
Thought we couldn't breathe for the perfume,
We're inhalin'
We thought we couldn't see see through the pink,
Perfect vision,
We thought we couldn't last through the shoes,
But we're lastin'
We thought that we would die at the mall,
But we're livin'
Thought that we would fail to rock,
But we're on top,
We thought shopping would be over by now,
But it won't stop,
We thought that we would self-destruct,
But we're still here,
Even in our years to come,
We're still gon' be here.

[Chorus
We are survivors (what),
We're not gonna give up (what),
We're not gon' stop (what),
We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),
We're gonna make it (what),
We will survive (what),
And keep on survivin' (what),
We are survivors (what),
We're not gonna give up (what),
We're not gon' stop (what),
We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),
We're gonna make it (what),
We will survive (what),
And keep on survivin' (what),

(Bridge)
I'm wishin' you the best,
Pray that you are blessed,
With a dress, thats pink, and lots of frilly-ness,
(We're not into that)
We're not going to dress preppy,
(We're not into that)
We're, like, not going to act all girl-ly,
(We're not into that)
We're not going to paint our nails pink,
(We're not into that)
We're not going on a shopping spree,
(We're not into that)
You know we're not going to do those things

Cuz' you know we just can't stand all that.

[Chorus
We are survivors (what),
We're not gonna give up (what),
We're not gon' stop (what),
We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),
We're gonna make it (what),
We will survive (what),
And keep on survivin' (what),
We are survivors (what),
We're not gonna give up (what),
We're not gon' stop (what),
We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),
We're gonna make it (what),
We will survive (what),
And keep on survivin' (what),

Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)
Oh(Oh)

After all of the chaos and shopping,
Still comes happiness,
If we surround ourselves with positively dark things,
We'll lose this insanity.

[Chorus
We are survivors (what),
We're not gonna give up (what),
We're not gon' stop (what),
We're gonna work harder (what),
We're are survivor (what),

'WHERE DID THOSE TWO GO!' Kairi's thoughts screamed. About 3 minutes of thoughtless thinking... 'THEY MUST HAVE GONE BACK TO THE CASTLE.'

'Oh shittake mushrooms.' Kaida groaned.

'What is it?' Zexion asked.

'Kairi's coming back.'

'Oh...darnit' Kat muttered. 'Save us?' Kat asked the boys.

'Go hide.'

'Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!' The two girls cried, running for the closet. Zexion rolled his eyes and continued reading, Axel laughed and continued playing Okami.

'KAT! KAIDA! WHERE ARE YOU!'

'ARE YOU GUYS HERE?'

'They're not here Kairi.' Zexion commented, still reading.

'Oh, well were are they?'

Axel shrugged. 'Dunno, haven't seen them since you drug them screaming to the mall.'

'Oh, Well maybe they're still at the mall.'

'Check the at the music stores, the game stores, the book stores, Hot topic, Journey's, and places like that.'

'But those type of stores scare me.' Kairi and Namine mumbled.

'Well thats where they probably are, then.' Axel said.

'Thanks guys BYE!!!!'.

'Is she gone?' Kaida stuck her head out of the closet.

'Yes.'

Kaida opened the door and they fell out.

'Ouch. Well that was graceful.' Kat commented rubbing her head.

'I know, wasn't it?' Kaida asked smirking.

Kat smiled.' Ok, what do we do now?'

Mar walked into the room dancing. The music became louder the closer Marluxia got to the four. He was dancing provocatively.

[edited for the sake of the story's rating.

[Verse 1
I'm bringing sexy back (yep)
Them other boys don't know how to act (yep)
I think you're special, what's behind your back? (yep)
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack.

Take 'em to the bridge

[Bridge
Dirty babe
You see the shackles
Baby I'm your slave
I'll let you whip me if I misbehave
It's just that no one makes me feel this way

Take 'em to the chorus

[Chorus
Come here girl (since when has it been a girl?)
Go ahead, be gone with it
Come to the back
Go ahead, be gone with it
VIP
Go ahead, be gone with it
Drinks on me
Go ahead, be gone with it
Let me see what you're working with
Go ahead, be gone with it
Look at those hips
Go ahead, be gone with it
You make me smile
Go ahead, be gone with it
Go ahead child
Go ahead, be gone with it
And get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
[Repeat 6 times

Get your sexy on

[Verse 2
I'm bringing sexy back
Them others just don't know how to act
Come let me make up for the things you lack
'Cause you're burning up I gotta get it fast

Take 'em to the bridge

[Bridge

[Chorus

[Verse 3
I'm bringing sexy back
You other people watch how I attack
If that's your girl (girl?) you better watch your back
Cause she'll (she'll?) burn it up for me and that's a fact

Take 'em to the chorus

[Chorus

'Woo!' Kaida yelled waving her hand, 'Go Marluxia!'

Kat stared open-mouthed at the boy.

'Sorry to interrupt this lovely song.' Zexion said, sarcastically, 'But, what brought this act of insanity on?'

'Uh----' Mar made a 'thinking' face, 'I really don't know...'

'Well, we don't really want to know.' Axel said, obviously disgusted.

'Come on, guys.' Kaida said, 'It was funny.'

Kat laughed, 'Funny, but freaky.'

'Freakier than Mansex?' Kaida shuddered.

'----' Kat was at a loss for words. 'Uh----

'Hey! It's raining,' Demyx excitedly yelled, running into the lounge.

'And we care because?' Axel, Kaida, and Zexion asked.

'Awsome!' Kat yelled.

'And you call yourself a pryo.'

'That doesn't mean I don't like water. Plus, controling water is handy if I have some thing on fire thats not supposed to be...' .' Kat started running to the door?

'Where are you going?' Kaida asked.

'To go play in the rain. Duh.'

'I'll stay inside, thank you very much.' Kaida said.

'Suit yourself.' Kat shrugged and ran outside. Laughing she jumped in puddles and spun around trying to catch raindrops.

'I know its water, but that looks fun...' Kaida thought. 'Oh, why not?' She went and joined her friend.

After ten minutes had passed and the girls still hadn't come in the guys looked at each other.

'Heartless?' Axel asked.

'Heartless.' Zexion agreed.

The guys stood, hoods up, under the ledge.

'Come on guys! Its fun!' Kat went and grabbed Axel's hand and pulled him out into the rain.

'Hey!' Axel protested.

Laughing Kat pulled down his hood. 'Tag. YOUR IT!' She ran until they were away from Kaida and Zexion. Then she stopped and looked around for Axel. 'Where is...'

'Gotcha.' He grabbed her. She laughed. Axel then noticed she actualy had her hair down today and the rain had caused it to stick to her face. He reached down and cupped his hands around Kat's face and kissed her lips, lightly, but passionately. A little bit later they parted and Axel leaned his forehead against hers. He moved his hands and brushed the wet, strands of hair that were in her eyes behind her ear.

-Zexion and Kaida-

Kaida rolled her eyes as she watched Kat and Axel take off running. 'Dorks.' Zexion had walked up beside her and taken her hand.

'Care to go on a walk?'

'Sure.' The two walked along in a comfortable silence until they reached the garden; even though it was still raining, they sat on the wooden swing. Kaida leaned on his shoulder.

'Hey Zexion, when you were a little kid what did you want to be when you grew up?'

'A scientist, I guess. Honestly, I don't remember much.'

'Oh.'

'What about you?'

'Nothing really important. When I was younger...well, before anyone knew I was a half demon, I had always wanted to be someone's guardian angel. But, when I reached pre-teen age, for lack of a better term, my demon half started showing up and I was considered a 'fallen'. No one, not ever the other demons would speak to me.

'Oh. But what was your biggest dream as a little girl? The one you've always wanted to come true. Even to this day.'

'Its pretty weird.'

'It can't be that weird...today was weird.'

She blushed slightly. 'To be kissed in the rain.'

'Some dreams come true.' he wispered into her ear. His lips brushed hers. Kaida smiled and leaned into the kiss.

Even though neither couple was singing both could have sworn they heard music...

On a perfect day

I know that I can count on you

When that's not possible

Tell me can you weather the storm?

'Cause I need somebody

Who will stand by me

Through the good times and bad times

She will always, always be with me

Chorus:

Sunny days

Everybody loves them

Tell me

Can you stand the rain?

Storms will come

This we know for sure

Can you stand the rain?

Love unconditional

I'm not asking this of you

We've got to make it last

I'll do whatever needs to be done

'Cause I need somebody

Who will stand by me when its storm she won't run

She will always, always be with me

Can you stand the rain

No pressure

No pressure

From me baby

Cause I want you

And I need you

And I love you

Will you be there for me?

-Back at the A and E headquarters-

'Gah!' Anna yelled, 'That wasn't supposed to happen!'

'The songs were supposed to make their day worse...not somewhat better!' Emily shrieked.

'And, who added that last song anyways?'

'I don't know.'

Anna looked through the safe that they kept the notebooks in. 'Wait!' One of their notebooks is missing.'

'Kat...Jon...' Anna read off the covers, 'Darn! Kaida took hers.'

'But, we would've known if she wrote in it...'

-In the Castle-

Roxas looked at Mar, 'I never would have pegged you as a romantic.'

Mar glanced at the kissing couples. 'Yea, well...'

oOo


Heh. Mar. Random huh? We warned you this chapter would be weird...
