Chapter IV
Skyler swept at Sora's feet, sighing with disapproval as he jumped over her blade. Darn that agile keyblade wielder! He swung the keyblade at her shoulder, only to have it blocked and to have Skyler give a forceful counter-attack, landing him on his back. She smirked as he scrambled to his feet.
Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy watched in amusement as the two traveled back and forth on the sand, every now and then pushing each other to the ground. They all laughed when Skyler forced Sora to do a face-plant and end up with a mouthful of sand. Skyler nearly doubled over she was laughing so hard. Sora growled and lunged for her, with no real set up. This allowed her to easily step to the side and let her competitor taste the sand once more. She snickered as she fought to keep him on the ground. Sora attempted to get up, but failed miserably as Skyler's strength and hold on her sword against the keyblade kept him kneeling on the dirt.
She finally let him up and sheathed her sword, signaling that she didn't want to fight and more. Sora got up, leaving the keyblade in the sand, and brushed off his clothes. Skyler cocked her head and asked,
"How long has it been since you've trained?"
"Haven't kept track," Sora replied. Skyler smirked.
"Oh, 'cause I beat you bad!"
"Did not!" the keyblade master defended. Skyler lifted an eyebrow. "I'm just having an off day."
"Sora, face it, she beat you," Riku commented. Sora shook his head.
"I said I was having an off day. Any other day and she would've lost."
"Sure," said Skyler disbelievingly.
"Come on, Sora. Accept defeat," said Kairi.
"Yeah, everyone has to loose sometimes!" said Goofy. Donald nodded.
"So get over it!" the duck shrieked. Sora glared at his friends.
"I didn't loose!" he exclaimed. "I had an off day. Off days don't count!"
"What's the matter, Sora?" Riku asked with a smile. "Can't accept the fact that you got beat by a girl?"
"Riku! Shut up!" Sora exclaimed. He ran for his silver-haired, who was now darting towards the water. The two ended up wrestling in the shallow parts of the ocean.
"Sore looser!" Skyler called as Riku pushed Sora under. Sora struggled and managed to pull himself back up.
"Am not!" he sputtered, talking to Skyler as he tackled Riku. A wave washed over the two. They came back up sputtering and soaked.

Meanwhile, in Castle that Never Was, Kaylee found her stomach growling. She searched around the huge building until she found the kitchen. And when she walked in, she was pleased to see a plate of brownies sitting on the counter. A huge grin spread across her face. She laughed an odd, evil/psychotic-sounding laugh and whipped her head around to be sure no one was watching. Once she was sure no one was there, she literally lunged for the sweets.
A few minutes later, Demyx walked into the room to see a small figure in a black cloak crouched on the floor, back facing him. He recognized the blond-white hair immediately.
"Kexlae?" he asked. "What are you doing?"
Said psychopath turned to face him. She was holding a plate of brownie crumbs and chocolate was all over her mouth.
"This can't be good," Demyx muttered. Kaylee laughed that same psychotic laugh under her breath. "Aw crap…"
Kaylee jumped up, the plate smacking on the floor as she dropped it, and starting running towards Demyx.
"Squipidalion!" she shouted. Yes, it was another nonsense word, like 'squee', that she had made up. Demyx darted out the door, followed by Kaylee. Number 9 managed to escape the sugar-high Kaylee by slipping into his room.
"Demyx?" she asked as she came to screeching halt in the next hallway. "Where'd you go?"
When she got no reply, the sugar-high teenager simply shrugged.
"Oh well," she said. "Squeep!"
And with another random word, she continued running. Her little one-man marathon quickly ended when she slammed full-force into none other than Saïx. Great. The collision had barely made the pointy-eared nobody sway, while it knocked Kaylee to the group. She looked up at Saïx, who was currently glaring at her.
"Eep! Don't hurt me!" she shouted, jumping to her feet and running the other way. Saïx just watched her, confused.
"Hey, Kexlae!" said Axel as Kaylee stumbled into his room on accident. "Lookin' for something?"
A grin appeared on Kaylee's face as an idea formed in her head.
"Actually, I had a question for you, Axel," she said.
"Alright. Go ahead," he replied.
"Can you cry underwater?" she asked. Axel considered it for a moment, then shrugged.
"I don't know. Ask Demyx,"
"He ran away from me. Oh, I have another question!"
"Okay."
"How important does a person have to be to be considered assassinated instead of just murdered?"
Axel thought about it.
"I have no clue," he replied.
"Okay then. What disease did cured ham actually have?"
"I don't know," said Axel. "Why are you asking me?"
Kaylee shrugged.
"If a 911 operator has a heart attack, who do they call?"
"I don't know. They probably have other operators around them, I guess," Axel answered. Kaylee giggled with joy that he hadn't figured out what she was doing. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, nothing. Hey, if Jimmy cracked corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about it?"
"Because someone wanted to prove that no one cared."
"But doesn't that mean that they cared?"
"If it does, then they failed miserably,"
"Interesting," Kaylee said, pretending to be fascinated.
"Kexlae? Are you just trying to bug me?" Axel asked. Kaylee doubled over with laughter. That was a yes. "Get out," Axel said.
"Okay," said Kaylee in between giggles. Before leaving, she stood at the door, composure regained. "I just have one more question."
"What is it, Kexlae?" asked an aggravated Axel.
"If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?"
Axel couldn't help but laugh at that one. Kaylee laughed too. Then, she calmed down, yelled "fweep!" at the top of her lungs, and ran out the door and down the hallway.
Soon, she found herself in a large bedroom. She looked to the wall to see Marluxia's red and pink scythe resting against it. And evil grin crept onto her face and after being sure no one was passing, she lunged for the weapon. She grabbed it and walked of the room casually. Marley really shouldn't have left it there. As soon as Kaylee was back in the hall, she let out an evil cackle and raced down the hallway, swinging the scythe as she ran.
Little did she know, Marluxia was walking down the same hall. She crash into him, causing him to stumble backwards and her to land on her back for the second time that day. Kaylee scrambled to her feet as Marluxia eyed her and his scythe suspiciously.
"What are you doing?" he grunted. Kaylee shoved the scythe behind her back.
"Nothing," she said, followed by innocent whistles.
"You know I can see the deadly weapon you're holding," said Marluxia. Kaylee's grip on the weapon tightened.
"No you can't," she said. Marluxia cocked an eyebrow. A bead of sweat rolled down Kaylee's face. "Fine, here!" she exclaimed, shoving the scythe into Marluxia's hands and darting off without another word.

Nicolette and Yuffie sat outside their home. Nicolette was reading a book and Yuffie was just plain bored. She looked over to her companion and a grin appeared on her face. She poked Nicolette on the side of the head happily.
"Ow! What was that for?" said Nicolette, looking up from her book for the first time in an hour.
"For fun!" Yuffie replied, repeating the action.
"Quit it!" Nicolette demanded.
"No!" Yuffie exclaimed, poking the warrior repeatedly. Nicolette finally started poking her as well, and soon the poking turned into a small, girly slap-fight. Leon walked up while the girls were squinting their eyes and slapping each other's hand mercilessly. They stopped and looked up at him innocently. Leon shook his head.
"Girls," he muttered before walking away, hearing the girls' giggling behind him.

Kaylee sat on a table while Vexen was in one of the chairs, reading some chemistry book intently. Kaylee had been staring at him for the last five minutes, and it finally got on his nerves. He looked at her with an aggravated expression.
"What?" he asked. Kaylee cocked her head.
"Are you a man or a woman?" she asked with curiosity.
"What?" Vexen growled.
"Are you a man or a woman?" the new member repeated. Vexen slammed his book on the table and stood up. Kaylee gulped. "Uh…he-he…gotta go!"
With that, Kaylee jumped off the table and darted out of the room, Vexen stomping angrily behind her. She darted into a room which appeared to be a library. She looked up at the many shelves of book, eyes wide with awe.
"Literature!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. She then heard Vexen's footsteps. "Books!" she shouted, "Shield me!" She jumped behind a book shelf and quietly crawled to the other end of the room, where there was a second doorway. She snuck out, then bounded away. Vexen heard her running and was following after her in a heartbeat.
As the two ran, Demyx stepped out of his room. He was stopped in his tracks when he saw Kaylee rushing towards him.
"Myxy! Hide me!" she yelled, leaping behind him. He soon saw why. Vexen was stomping behind her like an angry five-year-old. The musician smirked at the thought.
"Meeting!" Xemnas' voice rang out. Vexen stopped his attempt to kill Kaylee and walked off.
"You okay?" Demyx asked as they started following him. Kaylee nodded. "Why was he chasing you?"
"I asked if he was really male or female," Kaylee replied. Demyx considered it.
"You know, I'm not actually sure," he said jokingly. The two laughed. "So, what did you call me back there?"
Color rose in Kaylee's cheeks.
"Nothing," she said in a slightly squeaky voice before darting away without knowing where she was going. Demyx shook his head and smiled.
A/N
Yes, I know it was a shorter chapter. But it was funny, right? Right! Anyway, I just had to throw that Demyx moment in there. That's for you, Author 1! And in the next chapter there will be a Riku moment. I'm just not sure what it will be yet. So, anyway, press the pretty review button and do as it says: Submit a review. TTFN!
