Chapter 3
Axel sat swinging on his chair in the kitchen, boredly flicking fire at the ceiling, while Demyx was sitting across from him a hot cup of coffee in his hand. Roxas was in the kitchen making his breakfast.
Amaya and Charlie walked into the kitchen muttering to each other as they did. Axel looked up an evil smile plastered on his lips.
"Enjoy your swim?" He asked causally glancing at them as he squashed a flame in his palm. Charlie glared at him and Amaya shrugged. Demyx looked up from his cup of coffee interested. Axel hadn't yet told him and Roxas what had happened of yet.
"You went for a swim?" He asked curiously. Amaya sighed and sat next to him, Charlie taking his other side.
"I wouldn't have called it enjoyable…" Charlie scowled fingering a piece of dust that had settled on the table.
"Axel chucked us in" The youngest red head said simply. Deciding to ask about shopping, Amaya stared steely at her uncle.
"Could Charlie and I go shopping, by any chance?" Axel sighed dramatically.
"Sure, but you're not getting any of my munny and don't expect me to escort you everywhere either…" Charlie grinned, happy with her Uncles response. Roxas came out of the kitchen a piece of toast in his mouth.
"I'll take you" He said grinning and somehow keeping the piece food in his mouth. "It's time I got out of this gloomy place anyway"
Demyx looked up from his cup. "Same here" Amaya nodded then looked to her uncle. Axel sighed again, "Why not? It's not like there's anything to do here…" he said, standing up from his seat, "We'll leave in five, meet us in the main hall…if you can find your way there" said Axel as Roxas, Demyx and himself disappeared.
"Come-on i-mo-to!!" exclaimed Charlie while she grabbed her sister's arm, dragging her away from the table
"We've got to get ready!!"
"What do you mean by 'we'? You're the one who spends hours in front of the mirror…NOT ME" replied Amaya as she was dragged out of the dining room by a determined Charlie.
Roxas sighed as he looked at his watch once more. 10 minutes late already. Axel had left a minute ago to find Charlie and Amayas, leaving Demyx and Roxas to wander around aimlessly in the main hall till they got back. A swirling mass of black and purple announced Axel's arrival and with him came Charlie, who he was holding by the arm.
"What the hell are you wearing?" asked Demyx, his question directed at Charlie, who was wearing the full Organization uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail.
"The Organization outfit…what else?" Charlie shot back as she yanked her arm out of her uncle's grasp and dusted invisible dust off her where he had touched. Axel shrugged at her reaction and crossed his arms. Roxas suddenly noticed something.
"Where's Amaya?"
Charlies looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "She walked" She stated simply. Roxas nodded, understanding the situation. Demyx on the other hand was confused.
"Er…Why didn't she just portal?" He questioned, his arms raised slightly.
"I don't like portals…" A voice from the end of the hall answered his question. They all turned and where faced to Amaya who was slowly making her way down the hall, also wearing an Organization outfit, excluding the gloves, which she had replaced with her own black and red chequered, fingerless ones.
"And why would that be?" Demyx asked, yet again. Amaya sighed.
"Um…ever got you arm stuck in one?"
"No…" He answered.
"Good, Don't. I did it once. Freaked me out and not to mention hurt like hell…" She trailed off remembering the incident and shivering.
"So are we going?" interjected Axel, bored with the conversation, for he had been with the girls when it had happened. Charlie looked down her coat.
"Do I really have to go in this? I look more emo then Zexion on a bad day" Amaya looked offended.
"Don't diss the emo coat, and don't diss Zexion either!" Hissed Amaya in response. Before Charlie could retort, Axel interrupted, with his reason for why they were wearing the coats.
"It will be easier to find you in that", He pointed to her coat "Then in your usual wear…"
"And my usual wear being more colourful then a rainbow…How does that work?"
"People in twilight town wear weird clothes like that…and for once you might just fit in" joked Roxas.
"So… Twilight Town we go?" offered Amaya, raising her arms in question.
"Twilight Town we go!!" shouted Demyx happily, grabbing Amaya by the arm, opening a portal and pulling her in before she could protest. Charlie laughed at Demyx's outburst while opening her own portal and walking in dragging Roxas and Axel behind her.
"Demyx….I'm gunna kick your ass so hard when we get back to Castle Oblivion, no wait here's a thought, how about I just KICK you to Castle Oblivion!" Was the welcoming noise Axel, Roxas and Charlie heard when they arrived a few minutes after Amaya and Demyx, in Twilight Town. They had all portaled to Sunset Hill and Amaya was currently yelling at Demyx, who was looking sheepishly scared, as he cowered infront of Amaya.
"Take a chill pill" groaned Axel as he rubbed his temples in displeasure. Amaya turned and scowled at her uncle, crossing her arms, but stopped yelling to everyone's relief. Charlie who was ignoring the situation happily grabbed Amaya's arm.
"Want some ice-cream?" asked Charlie, this grabbed her sisters' attention.
"What type?" replied Amaya, her eyebrows raised at her sister's question.
"Sea-Salt, you alright with that?" Roxas nodded happily behind Charlies back and Amaya responded the same way.
"Off we go then!" Charlie grinned and began to run down the hill, her sister following her. Roxas snickered and shook his head running quickly after them. Axel looked over at Demyx who was still frozen. He raised an eyebrow in question.
"She's scary…" The blonde nobody mumbled before becoming his usual self again and sprinting to catch up with Roxas and the girls. Axel sighed.
"This is going to be a long day…"
After Axel had trudged grudgingly down the hill, he had found the troupe waiting for him so they could all catch the train from Sunset station to Central station, where Roxas informed them, they would be able to find the ice-cream shop. The short trip to Central Station was spent, running up and down the length of the train, starting a mini-riot over the rights of moogles and asking other occupants of their carriage random questions. The worst so far was what colour underwear they were wearing. When the trip finally ended, they had made their way out of the train and towards the centre of town where Roxas said the shop was. Occasionally the group was getting looks, either from their clothing items or Charlie constantly tripping on the hem of her borrowed coat and nearly falling on the asphalt. Thankfully, Roxas, Amaya, Demyx or Axel was there to save her, so no accidents had happened...so far. They were all now standing at the counter of the shop, choosing their ice-creams. While Axel, Roxas and Amaya had all chosen Sea-Salt, Demyx was having difficulty deciding between Rainbow and Bubble-Gum, while Charlie was debating whether to eat Chocolate or Strawberry.
When they finally settled on their choices - Demyx - Rainbow and Charlie – Chocolate - they all began to slowly make their way towards the shops. Suddenly, the conversing between the group was interrupted by a high pitched ringing. Charlie immediately reached into her pocket, the one under her jacket that is, and flipped open the black device that was her phone.
"Hello, Charlie speaking" she uttered while placing the phone on her ear. There was silence for a moment before a small smile spread onto Charlie's face.
"Hey Riku" Amaya immediately rolled her eyes and made a small a puking gesture with her hand. Roxas laughed slightly.
"The movies? Yeah, I can come." Charlie paused for a moment waiting for a response. They could hear a voice talking over the connection, but they couldn't decipher the actual words.
"Okay…In half an hour? Sure, sounds good. Cya then!" She ended the conversation enthusiastically, flipping the phone shut once more, a wide grin on her face. Amaya sighed.
"Why do you go out with that jerk anyway?" Amaya grumbled, swallowing a mouthful of ice-cream. Axel choked.
"Your…Going out with Riku? As in the silver-haired guy that wore a blindfold?"
"He wore a blind fold? Never knew that" Charlie muttered to herself, frowning at her uncle before she replied "And I am NOT going out with him, we've been friends for about two years" Amaya raised a hand, one finger in the air.
" 'Going out', would be classified as joining a boy in a recreational activity, by yourself, may I add and leaving you SISTER at home!" Roxas and Demyx nodded agreeing with the younger girl. Charlie ignored her sister's small rant.
"How do you know him?" Charlie questioned the three nobodies.
"He was in Castle Oblivion for a while. I think he was with DiZ or something like that " Demyx shrugged, answering the question with ease. Charlie frowned and looked over at her sister.
"I though you liked Riku, as a friend that is"
"I still do. But since Dad isn't here to scare him off, I have to put a little effort in" Amaya licked her nearly finished ice-cream as she replied. Charlie glanced at her watch. She quickly pulled off her cloak and threw it at her sister, who caught it with one hand, an eyebrow raised. Underneath she was wearing a long sleaved black jacket, undone, with rainbow cuffs and a hood also edged in rainbow, a blue t-shirt, and dark grey jeans with her trademark purple Converse.
"Well, I have to go. I'll be at Destiny Island Cinema if you need me" She opened a portal and walk through before Amaya could come up with a good excuse for her not to go. Axel sighed and flicked his finished ice-cream stick into the bin.
"So are we going to get that stuff you needed?" Roxas asked Amaya, also throwing his ice-cream stick in the bin. She turned to him with an evil look plastered on her face.
"We'll get the stuff later, this opportunity it to good to pass up!!" exclaimed Amaya as she waved her arms in the air.
"But, wait, wasn't the reason we can here in the first place was to get the stuff for Charlie and yourself?" stated Axel, an annoyed look on his face.
"Don't worry Uncle Axel we'll go get stuff from the store, but for now we're going to use our ammo on Charlie and Riku" replied Amaya, who wasn't fazed by her uncles pissed look.
"Ummm Amaya?" asked a frightened Demyx, who was staring at the floor unable to look at her face.
"What do you mean by 'we'?". Amaya smirked, glaring evilly at the three Organization members.
Charlie and Riku currently stood in line for their tickets. Riku was relaxed but every now and again Charlie would glanced around worriedly.
"What's Up?" questioned Riku, "You seem…on edge", Charlie sighed and turned to face him.
"Remember Amaya?"
"Yeah…"
"Well, when you called earlier, she found out that I was going to the movies with you, alone, and I'm worried that she'll follow and prank us with her so-called 'ninja skills'" Riku laughed lightly.
"What's the worse she can do?" Charlie raised an eyebrow.
"You should know perfectly well…Remember the incident with the honey and tomato sauce?" Riku frowned, the memory entering his head.
"And the permanent texta…can't forget that" The incident had occurred after Riku and Amaya had gotten into a fight over a misinterpreted joke that Riku had pulled on Charlie a year or so earlier.(He was just pretending to flirt with her, Charlie knew that he was kidding) It had ended in Amaya 'Declaring War' and storming off. He had taken the threat lightly and ignored the so called 'War'. Then a few nights after the fight had taken place he woke up one morning to discover, everything, absolutely everything covered in sauce and honey, including himself. Riku had no idea how she could of gotten so much stuff, let alone got it in his house unnoticed by others or himself. Then he had moved to the mirror. Every exposed inch of skin had been drawn on. Even his face. Multiple things such as 'Amaya was here' and 'Riku loves boys!' was scrawled everywhere.
"Need, I say more?' asked Charlie as they shuffled forward, paid for their tickets and headed into the theatre.
"What are we seeing anyway? You didn't tell me the name over the phone"
"I think it's an action movie about pirates or something" replied Riku as he sat down next to Charlie, near the back of the theatre. They were oblivious, as they chatted idly before the movie started, that their doom was awaiting in the hands of a young female red-head.
"Superglue?"
"Check"
"Rock candy?"
"Check"
"Tazer?"
"Check…Wait…Where the hell did you get a tazer?"
"I have my sources …" Amaya trailed off smiling evilly, replying to Roxas's question.
The foursome stood outside the cinema, holding a small bag of supplies and waiting till Riku and Charlie were no longer in the lobby, so they could go in and buy their tickets.
"Do you even know what movie they're going to see?" Axel questioned, crossing his arms. Amaya slapped her forehead.
"Craappppp…Our plan is ruined!" she groaned.
"Don't you mean…Yours?" Demyx asked cautiously. Amaya glared in his direction for a moment. He flinched, squinting one eye closed. She suddenly snapped her fingers, then pointed at the three nobodies.
"Can you three just portal in? Into the cinemas I mean. Only for a moment just to see if she's there? Please?" Axel raised an eyebrow and looked at his fellow nobodies. Roxas shrugged but Demyx looked terrified.
