DO NOT SPIN IN CIRCLES AND EAT CANDY, TOO…

Sulhadahne went to the North Carolina State Fair yesterday, and boy, was it fun! The whole day I was imagining the Organization running around causing havoc. I might write a fic about that one day.

But, I rode so many swirly twirly all around upside down rides that I got sick and we went home early. But oh well. I had fun. And now I have returned to my faithful computer chair to write!

I had a close call last night though; I almost spilt tea on my keyboard, which would've meant no stories for you guys for a while! Whew!

I track in next week… wah…

So, I know the story plotline this time around is kinda… blurry. But hey; I'm having fun with this!

Today is just for fun. And I just realized that Leon has been kind of ignored. But he will return next chapter! I swear!

So, so far:

Marluxia and Larxene aren't getting along because of some sort of fight

Yuffie's acting really weird

Tsuki and Hinode saved ANSEM! YAY!

Crive's up to no good…

Vexen is doing some sort of experiment…

Sephiroth's blood holds a secret…

AND I THINK THOSE ARE ALL THE MYSTERIES FOR NOW! YAY!

Two weeks passed in the year vacation of the organization, and it became May. If you calculate, that means that two weeks ago, in April, the year began, so vacation will end in… NEXT APRIL!

Finally Castle Hallow Bastion was coming along, but was no where near fully clean and fixed. Only two days ago Lexaeus was working on the roof when Zexion ran out to him, and the added weight dropped them both through the ceiling. Vexen took pictures.

Zexion went to two more dates, and each time after he would call Rikku and Paine, if only because he wanted to tell SOMEONE about it. It was still a secret, all in all.

In Twilight Town, Yuna, Rikku, and Paine opened their machine (or machina) shop, which had weapons and items and those sorts of things. Auron felt like he was in retirement, since all he did was make sure Tidu and Mari went to school everyday. The former always would complain, since "Roxas doesn't have to go!"

The World that Never Was went nuts after the first week when Demyx decided to add a swimming pool to the castle. Sadly, without Lexaeus' help, he had to dig the hole on his own, and dug so deep he fell through the castle floor and into the Brink of Despair, and past the Brink, and was luckily caught by Dragoon's before falling any farther. But he is still determined to get his swimming pool, though the castle now has a large hole in the Hall of Empty Melodies.

Leon traveled towards London in his search, finding no more clues on his way other than the fact Rinoa was said to be in Hellsing headquarters. Fingering her necklace around his neck, he moved on.

Atlantica is preparing for their summer festival, which includes a major performance of Sebastian's latest musical. Demyx is in this musical, as one of the people in the band pit. The musical will be preformed in two months.

The Destiny Islands was enthralled with life, as Sora's father returned home to his son. The man was estatic, and I'll describe him to you now.

Yuuchou Yuki is a traveling salesman who sells healing items and accessories. He was rather tall. Of a scrawny build, though a bit muscular, and a scruffy chin, the man had a surfer accent (LIKE XIGGY!) and an easy going attitude. Man, who does he sound like?

Father and son were happily united, as were…

"Whoa!" Namine whispered, looking past Mr. Yuuchou happily hugging his son to the girl walking up the path. "She looks just like Sora!"

Riku laughed. "That's Sora's twin sister, Aisu. She's his exact opposite, even though they look a lot alike."

Aisu was well built, small, but not terribly scrawny, with brown hair that was anything but straight falling past her chin. Deep blue eyes like her brother were a bit icy, but warmed up when they fell on Sora.

"Sora." She proclaimed, dropping her bag and running up to him. The boy grinning took his sister and held her tight, spinning around happily.

"Aw. It's a Kodak moment." Riku joked. Kairi hit him lightly.

Such a sweet moment! 3

At Disney castle, two friends were lazing about, finding everything was too normal to return to…

"Gawrsh, after all that traveling' around, being home feels strange, don't ya think?" Goofy asked, leaning back on the grassy mound as Donald Duck walked up.

(DONALD SO KAWAII! Okay, I can't write Donald speech. So just imagine it in your head, okay?)

"Yeah. But we can't leave the king, okay? It's just a year!" Donald spoke, sitting down next to Goofy with a huff.

"We went to sleep for a year." Goofy commented.

"So we can take care of the castle for a year. Besides, if we left now, Daisy would kill me!" Donald moaned, falling onto his back.

"Gawrsh, what's that?" Goofy asked, pointing to the sky.

Something was plummeting towards the castle with great speed, growing larger by the second. When the two realized it was about to crash into their area, they screeched, leaping up and getting out of the way just in time.

"It's a gummi ship." Goofy murmured.

"Oh, really?" Donald complained.

The ship was really beat up; it probably wouldn't fly for a while. The door opened, and a girl stepped out.

"Uh oh." Donald spoke.

"Oh. Uh…" The girl muttered.

Hinode was that girl, standing in the doorway of the ship with a dumb look on her face. Backing up, she called. "Tsuki! You chose the wrong world to crash land on!"

Donald, rolling up his sleeve, was about to chase after her, but Goofy held him back.

"Are you ladies all right?" He called into the ship.

Tsuki poked her head out, followed by her blonde sister, and then the two whispered to each other. Then, with a sigh, Hinode disappeared into the ship, and Tsuki stepped down.

"We need to speak to your king, it's urgent." Tsuki demanded. Goofy nodded.

"Donald, why don't you go get the King?" With a grumble, the duck stomped off, running through the door.

"How're you all still alive? Didn't you…" Goofy trailed off. Tsuki shrugged with a smile.

"We kinda… feel asleep, but we were woken up." Tsuki explained. "We were on our way to a friend when we were attacked by Heartless ships."

Hinode stepped out of the ship. "He's okay." She told her sister.

"Who?" Goofy asked.

The two sisters shared nervous glances.

Farther away, we move on…

"Good job, everyone! If we keep this up, our performance will be the best under the sea!" Sebastian coaxed, grinning claw to claw. Demyx shook his head, grinning himself, as he gathered his sitar and headed for the door.

"Wait!" Demyx looked back. Ariel's sister, Flora, was swimming up to him, blonde hair flying. Or, swimming.

"Ma'am?" He asked politely. Flora looked back. Two more of Ariel's sisters were hiding behind a pillar, and when she coaxed them out, they swam over happily.

"We were… wondering…" After a short fit of giggles, the girls continued. "If you were going to be at next week's ball?"

"Ball?" Demyx asked.

"Yes." Continued sister number two, Fauna. "Flora's birthday is next week. Are you coming to the ball?"

Demyx thought for a second, and then nodded. "Okay." The girls giggled, waving and swimming off. Demyx waved back, kind of in a daze.

"What just happened?" He asked as Marluxia swam up behind him.

"Three airheads just convinced you to attend a birthday party." Demyx glared at Marluxia.

"Be nice." He demanded, swimming out of the concert hall. Marluxia followed after, rolling his eyes.

Ariel watched them from afar, smiling.

"Hey!"

Demyx turned to the side, to see another mermaid swimming out of the concert hall after them. It was the third sister.

"Is your friend coming, too?" She asked. Marluxia gaped, about to retort, when Demyx grabbed his arm, pulling him away with a smile.

"Why, yes he is!" Demyx cried, and the two mermen swam off, leaving the girl in a fit of giggles.

"You freak!" Marluxia cried, pissed. "I am not going to that!"

"Come on, you'll have fun! And it'll be another excuse to get out of the castle!" Demyx told him. Marluxia sighed.

"Fine. But if anything goes wrong, it's all on you."

"As usual!" Demyx laughed as they swam towards the gummi.

"So", Demyx began once they were normal and in the gummi. "To Twilight Town?"

"We do need groceries, badly." Marluxia sighed.

(You know, I just noticed that through all of the series, in Axelerate and this one, I have had Marluxia and Demyx paired up as friends. I don't know why, but I guess I like them as buddies. 3)

"So let's go pay Roxas a visit!" Demyx cackled, flying off.

On Twilight Town, Roxas was posting posters. Rushing to get them all in the time limit, he placed his last three and looked to the time.

"56 seconds." Roxas smirked. Sauntering to the man who'd give him payment, Roxas saw Hayner, Pence, and Olette run down the hill and towards the Tram board.

"Thank you, son." The man chimed, giving him his munny.

"Thank you." Roxas smiled.

As he walked off, the man pondered, looking the blonde over. "Hey, boy!" Roxas turned. "Have we met before?"

With a serene smile, Roxas shook his head and walked away.

Pocketing the munny, Roxas wondered if he yet had enough for what he was saving for. Probably not, so he didn't dwell on it.

"Good afternoon, Roxas!" Roxas turned to see Mari and Tidu, still in their school schools, walking up to him.

"Good afternoon." Roxas smiled.

"Hey, you gonna fight in the struggle battle tomorrow?" Tidu asked. Roxas grinned.

"Of course. Though I'll miss my keyblade." Tidu grinned with him.

"Where are you going?" Mari asked. Roxas shrugged.

"Nowhere really." He muttered, looking ahead.

"Come with us then!" Mari pleaded, smiling. With a content sigh, Roxas nodded.

The three headed towards Yuna's shop, and entered the side door.

"We're home!" Tidu called.

"And Roxas is with us!" Mari added.

Yuna came down the stairs, dressed in her usual garb, and with a smile on her face.

The shop reminded Roxas of the moogle store in Traverse Town that he'd seen in Sora's past. It was a bit messy, and there was a loft upstairs. It was a rather large room.

"Good afternoon." Yuna greeted.

"Hey, Roxas!" Rikku and Paine were in the loft, sitting on the floor playing cards.

"Hey everyone. Where's Auron?" Roxas implored. Yuna shrugged.

"Who knows where he's at?" She laughed.

Mari and Tidu deposited their backpacks at the foot of the stairs, and then ran up into the loft. Roxas followed after.

"Ha. I win again." Paine smirked as Rikku pouted.

The doorbell rang. Yuna walked over, opening it to see a little boy.

"I saw Roxas come in here. Someone's looking for him. Tall blonde and a guy with pink hair." The boy told Yuna.

"Did you get that, Roxas?" Yuna called back.

"Yes." He nodded, coming back down the stairs.

"Pink hair? Marluxia, definitely." Rikku said as she dealt the cards.

"I guess Xigbar's not the blonde…" Paine pouted, taking her cards.

"Can you tell them I'm here?" Roxas asked the boy, taking out a few munny and giving it to him. He nodded and ran off, and Roxas went back to the loft.

"Anyone hungry?" Yuna asked. Mari raised her hand high, and so did Paine and Rikku. Roxas laughed at the two girls acting like children.

"Oh! Oh! Me!" Rikku cried giddily. Yuna grinned and ran off into the kitchen.

"Yuna fits the role of mother, doesn't she?" Paine asked. "Wanna play, Roxas?" The blonde nodded.

"Maybe she fits it too well. Single, but motherly makes for a lonely lady." Rikku commented.

"Not as long as she has these two, I think." Roxas shared his thoughts, looking to Tidu and Mari.

The doorbell rang again. "I've got it!" Mari grinned, leaping up.

Opening the door, Mari saw Auron standing their, with two boys in his grip.

"Look who I found. Troublemakers." Auron smirked. Marluxia rolled his eyes, and Demyx sighed nervously.

"Hey, Roxas." Demyx waved. Auron set the boys down.

"What're you guys doing here?" Roxas asked.

"Oh, just dropping by to say hello." Marluxia told him.

"Well now you're staying the night." Auron demanded. Demyx's mouth dropped.

"Why?"

Auron flipped the television on.

- We will not tolerate their kind in our town. I will cleanse Twilight Town of any Organization XIII influence using all means necessary. They will be punished for their crimes –

"Oh." Demyx muttered, watching General Vanguard rave on television. Auron rolled his eyes and changed the channel.

Marluxia and Demyx stalked up to the loft, sitting down with the group. Rikku smirked.

"I've heard there's some trouble in paradise." Rikku commented, looking to Marluxia. The man glared at her.

"Yeah. Why don't you tell us what happened?" Demyx pleaded.

"What are you guys talking about?" Roxas asked.

"Larxene is pissed at Marluxia." Paine explained. Roxas laughed, rolling his eyes and looking to Marluxia.

Marluxia sweat dropped; everyone in the room was looking at him with anticipation, even Auron, who was laxly staring at him instead of the television. When Yuna walked in with cookies, everyone gather around the plate, eating, and staring at the assassin.

"FINE!" He growled, giving in. Paine and Rikku grinned, giving each other a high five. With an aggravated sigh, he began. "It was over two weeks ago…"

Larxene, Axel, and I had been fighting in the arena, practicing, when she and I got into an argument about different battles and such. It was really dumb, and I realized that after she had stalked off. I went to her room to apologize, besides my pride…

Knocking on the door, Marluxia heard movement in the room.

"Don't come in!" She demanded angrily. Marluxia huffed, leaning against the doorframe. A little later, he tried again impatiently.

"Give me a second!" Larxene growled, throwing something against the door with a bang.

It is usual not something I do, apologize. So, the fact that she was pushing me off when I was being kind was pissing me off again. I do NOT say sorry, and here she was acting like an ass! So, I pushed the door open.

With a slam, the door came opened, and Marluxia stalked in angrily. Then he froze.

Larxene was in front of him, shirtless. To say she was glaring daggers at him was an understatement.

"Get. OUT!"

Back in the present, Marluxia continued. "She began throwing her daggers at me as I ran out, and I waited outside for two hours after to 'apologize'. But when she came out, she ignored me! That did it. We got into that argument you heard us having in the kitchen, and she hasn't talked to me since."

Everyone was silent.

Marluxia looked from person to person. "What?" He asked.

"YOU IDIOT!" Demyx accused, smacking him over the head. Auron rolled his eyes at Marluxia, turning back to the TV.

"Hey!" Marluxia complained when Yuna, Rikku, and Paine each took their turns hitting him.

"Man, you messed up bad." Roxas laughed. Marluxia huffed, rolling his eyes.

"Women." He muttered.

WE MOVE ON

Yuffie sighed, looking out over the Maw.

Looking down to her feet, the girl sighed and sat, grabbing a few stones and tossing them across the way, watching them plummet far below. Clutching her knees, she rocked herself.

"Meanie." She whispered to no one.

Rocking back and forth, she sat silently, watching the stars reel overhead as the sun went down.

Footsteps came behind her. Yuffie looked back.

"Hey." It was Ariel, smiling serenely.

"Hi." Yuffie muttered, turning back to the maw. Ariel looked concerned, walking up and sitting down next to Yuffie.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

Yuffie groaned sadly. Ariel placed a hand on her shoulder.

"It's about Demyx, isn't it?" Ariel asked. Yuffie nodded.

"He dumped me. It was gentle and all and he seemed so sad, like he wanted to stay…. So why didn't he?" Yuffie murmured sadly, hiccupping a little.

Ariel sighed sadly. "You know, he looks a bit sadder too."

"He's been acting so weird around me! Like he still likes me, but he won't let me near him!" Yuffie cried, letting go of her knees.

Ariel nodded. "Vexen's been acting weird ever since we got married. He keeps going down into his lab and working on his special project, but he refuses to tell me about it and forbids me from going down there." Ariel looked out to the maw, her hand over her belly.

Ariel smiled sadly. "We named the baby yesterday."

"So, it's gonna be a baby girl?" Ariel gasped, looking to her husband as he sat down on the bed. "Are you sure?"

Vexen laughed. "I'm positive." Ariel yelped happily, leaping up onto the bed with him. She scooted into his arms.

"Once she's born, what shall we name her?" Vexen whispered questioningly to his wife who sat cradled in his arms.

Ariel smiled contently. "I know just the name."

"Vex."

Vexen looked down to his wife. "Vixen, Vex for short." Ariel nodded.

"Okay."

Yuffie smiled. "I'm happy for you."

Ariel looked to Yuffie. "Let's you and I work together; to find out why Demyx and Vexen are acting so weird." Yuffie grinned and nodded.

And so that is how the ninja and the wife began scheming…

King Mickey couldn't believe it.

"Ansem is on… that ship? The Heartless Ansem?" He asked.

Tsuki nodded. "We saved him. He doesn't remember who he is." Mickey sighed, looking to Donald and Goofy, and then Tsuki and Hinode.

"Let's keep it that way." He muttered.
