The City That Never Was had a surprising aura of calm about it. The Heartless weren't running about and the Nobodies weren't bouncing around to their own inner silly beats. The city was at rest and yet alive with a sense of tranquility that little thought was possible.

The twelve Nobodies stood around, boredly, waiting for the arrival of Number IX. Apparently, he had a surprise for all of them, and that required them to wait outside. Kingdom Hearts only knew what that was.

"This is taking too long." Lexaeus commented, impatiently.

"I agree with ya, Lex." The redhead next to him, Axel, said, crossing his arms. "I've got other stuff that I wanna get done."

"Will you dudes chill? He'll be here soon enough." Xigbar gave them an easy smile. He, despite the other members, was actually looking forward to whatever Demyx had in store for them. Whether it was a stupid plan, or a good one, his ideas never ceased to amaze and amuse the man.

Larxene replied boredly, "Speak of the devil…"

Demyx appeared out of a portal in front of them, with a bouquet of floating, colorful balloons in one hand, and index cards and markers in his other hand. His face broke into a bright grin.

"Happy Peace Day!"

"…Peace Day?" The pink-haired assassin rolled his eyes, clearly irritated. "That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard."

"He's probably making it up…" Roxas said quietly.

"No, no, there is such a day called 'Peace Day'." All eyes turned on Zexion, who had spoken. The man continued, "It's not well known, but it exists."

"Yuppers!" Demyx squealed, handing everyone a balloon, card, and marker. "Everyone's gonna write down what they think peace is to them, tie it to the balloon, and then let it go! And hopefully our peace wishes will come true!"

"And the point of this is…?" Xaldin asked, looking at his purple balloon with an uninterested gaze.

"It's fun!"

Larxene groaned. "Xemnas, do we have to?"

The leader sighed. He didn't want to do this anymore than they wanted to, but he knew that, if he denied the boy the event, he'd never hear the end of it. "It will not kill us to partake in this…"

And so, reluctantly, everyone scribbled down their peace ideas and attached them to their balloons, and let them go. They watched as the multicolored toys drifted into the black of the night-tainted skies and disappeared from sight.

All but one, that is.

"Saix, aren't you gonna make a peace wish too?" Number IX asked innocently, looking at the man. The Berserker was obviously not in any mood to be doing an activity like this.

"No." He said, simply.

"Aww, c'mon! There has to be SOMETHING you want!"

"There isn't."

"Saiiiiiix!"

Barring his teeth, he growled deeply, but quietly. As an idea came to him, a faint, sadistic smile flew past his eyes. He wrote something down on the card quickly, attached it to the balloon, and let it fly away. Demyx smiled brightly.

"Yay! So, what kind of peace did you wish for?"

A creepy grin on the man's behalf. "Your death."

Instantly, the boy paled extremely, and fainted.

Xigbar stood over him and crossed his arms. He clicked his tongue and shook his head, smirking. "Y'know, you'd've thought he'd've learned his lesson from the whole 'Easter egg' thing…"

000000

LOL…poor Demy. He just doesn't learn, does he? XD
