Author's Note: looks like my story is getting pretty popular compared to my other story. Cupcakes for whoever found the Howl's Moving Castle reference in chapter 3!! Hmmmm…I'm probably forgetting something here…R&R if you want, I know it's annoying to hear; but people want to be recognized for their efforts.

We are where?

Chapter 4

The Forest of – Polar Bears?!

The red headed man bolted out of the room when a black portal appeared and out came a pink haired girl. "AXEL!" She roared with a man's voice – oops…it's a guy. "Where did Axel go?!" The man huffed, his face red with obvious rage.

"Axel who?" Dimirica asked innocently with big chibi eyes.

"Ugh…I don't have time for this…" the man summoned the portal and disappeared. Leaving the girls alone and totally confused.

"Ummm…what just happened?" Liak stood up and looked around. The room was brighter now, and Liak guessed this must have been Axel's bedroom judging by the bed, desk, computer, and bookshelf (all a complete mess, mind you). "This is Axel's bedroom, I guess, or someone's that is." She stated.

"Yeah, it's my room, is Marluxia gone yet?" Axel popped his head out from the door he'd just gone through. Liak looked behind her, he didn't go through the door Dimirica had gone through.

"Who's Marluxia? And is that your closet door?" Liak sighed pointing at the door Axel was hiding behind.

"No, it's my bathroom door, the closet's right there." Axel moved out from behind the door and pointed behind him. "And Marluxia is that pink haired gay guy that just came in without knocking." The girls giggled at Axel's tone as he walked over to the bed and sat down.

"I heard that, Axel; And for the last time, I'm NOT gay!" The apparent Marluxia appeared in the room.

"Wow, stalker much…" Dimirica mumbled.

"Hey hey hey, it was Xigbar's idea to put the paint balloon over your bed, not mine!" Axel tried to defend himself when Marluxia made a pink and green scythe appear in his hands.

"Nice…the scythe's pink…" Liak snickered holding her hand over her mouth at the sight of the pink bladed weapon.

"What's wrong with pink?" Marluxia turned around and held the scythe up to her face, apparently trying to pose as a threat; but yet…the pink just made the scythe look so…

"Pink….what a disgrace to all shades of green everywhere." She pointed down at the stem-like staff the blade was held upon.

"What's it supposed to look like anyway? A flower?" Dimirica jumped up and pushed the evilly colored scythe away from Liak's face.

"Yes, it is actually." Marluxia replied bluntly.

"Couldn't it have been, I don't know…a blue flower? That would've at least taken some of the gay look away from you…" Liak suggested hold her arms out for emphases.

"What the color of my scythe is isn't the why I'm here; Now if you'll excuse me, I have Axel's mutilation to deal with." Marluxia pointed his thumb over his shoulder at Axel and turned to face him. "And by the way, you put what over my bed?" Axel gulped.

"Eh heh heh, this isn't about that, is it?" He replied backing into the corner of his bed and wall.

"No, it's not." Marluxia put simply and quiet grimly putting his scythe's pink blade in Axel's face; making him gulp yet again.

"Then what'd I do?" Axel defended.

Within another dark flash, the four were outside the building, and WOW was it BIG. Liak and Dimirica gazed at the sight before them.

"You guys live here?" Dimirica gasped.

"Well, for now that is; we'll be moving off to another place sooner or later." Axel answered.

"How long is 'sooner'?" Liak took her eyes off the monumental castle and looked over at Axel.

"I don't know- ow ow ow ow!" Marluxia grabbed at Axel's ear like his mother and dragged him off in some other direction. Liak following, leaving Dimirica to stand and gaze at the castle. That is until she realized no one was there and ran off after her pal.

"Look! My flowers are trampled and probably dead because of you!" Marluxia shoved Axel's face into a dead flower bed covered in prints.

"Aaaaaand how exactly did you come to the conclusion that it was Axel?" Dimirica asked putting her droopy head into her hand.

"Because he's the only one that messes with my flower beds, that's why." He answered pushing Axel into the dirt and crossing his skinny arms.

"Did you see him do it?" She yawned.

"No, but I'm 100 sure that Axel was the one that did it." The pink haired man nodded.

"Hmmmm….if so, then Axel must have pretty big feet; because these aren't normal human tracks. Probably not even human at all." Liak examined the trampled flower bed. The tracks in the dirt were large, rounded, and whatever it was that did it have claws.

"Well, Axel, did you do it?" Dimirica yawned once again.

"No. I just singe the flowers, not trample them. So it wasn't me." He replied bluntly, making the shade of red on Marluxia's face even redder (if that was even possible).

"Well then, who did it?" Dimirica asked the air pretty much.

"I don't know but-"

"There you two are, Xemnas was starting to put a whole new meaning in the word red." The man with dreadlocks from before appeared behind the two girls.

"What?" The four questioned obviously totally confused.

"Hey Xaldin, do you know what happened to my flowers?" (I'll give you three guesses on who asked this, first two don't count) Marluxia asked.

"I don't care about your flowers, pinky, I just care about my sleep." The man named Xaldin replied.

"Then go sleep," Liak put simply.

"Well I can't do that until you two are put safely into your rooms." He replied sarcastically.

"That's nice, where are our rooms anyways?"

"Come on then," Xaldin grabbed the girls and within yet another flash of black and purple the girls were in the room from before. "Here, now stay here until someone comes and says you can leave."

"The castle?" Dimirica lit up.

"No, the room," He answered bluntly and disappeared within the black portal then people in the castle seemed to favor over walking out of rooms.

"Does that mean I have to stay here too?" Dimirica looked around the white room. It looked very different from Axel's room. A bed, a wardrobe, a bathroom door, a desk, two tiny end tables, and a desk chair. Not to mention the walls were a deathly shade of white.

"Might as well, I still don't trust anyone here." Walking up to the long and wide window Liak put her hands on the window pane and looked out at the view. All was black and empty. She sighed, she didn't even know if they were ever going to be free from this place.

"Hey look at this!" Liak turned around to see Dimirica holding some kind of amber orb giving off a green light into Dimirica's hands.

"What's that?" Liak walked over to her pal and held her hand above the orb. The green light shining through her small fingers.

"What do you think it does?" Dimirica gazed deeply into the orb, its insides seeming to show a bunch of trees.

"I dunno," Liak looked away from the orb and back at the window, she really wanted leave.

"Liak! Help!" Dimirica cried as her short dark hair started to float about. A tingling feeling going throughout her torso and arms. Her fingers starting to glow a golden brown. Liak looked back and grabbed the orb from her hands, but not changing her a bit. Now Liak starting to look the same. Gold and green melted into the walls and surrounded them.

"Dimirica? What's happening?" Liak dropped the orb onto the floor making it melt into the floor. They looked up at the ceiling, the brown and green melted away into a forest after about 5 minutes.

"We're not at the castle anymore, Liak." Dimirica looked down, the gold was gone from her fingers.

A loud roared erupted from their side. Liak's face lit up, "Lunar!" She called and out came a huge white bear from behind the trees.

"It's Lunar! How did he get here?!" Dimirica and Liak ran over towards the white bear and hugged him around his broad neck.

-In the Laboratory-

Vexen looked under the desk, not there. "Zexion, do you know where the Transportal orb is? I can't find it" Vexen called over to the blue haired man.

"Nope, where did you have it last?" He replied.

"I was working on it last night before Xemnas made us get those girls."

"Then follow your steps since then." Zexion sat up in his chair.

"Fine, I'll be back." Vexen walked out of the laboratory and over to the table. Nope, wasn't there. "I know I didn't take it to the back alley…then the only place it could be is in the spare room…" Vexen walked towards the two doors, knocking on the left one slightly. No answer, he knocked again. Still no answer. After five more minutes of knocking without answer, Vexen opened the door. There was the orb, sitting on the floor without its glow.

"Oh no…"

-In Room III-

"Xaldin, did you make sure the girls were- by God…put some clothes on man!" Vexen covered his eyes, regretting not appearing in front of the door instead.

"Hmmm…what was that?" Xaldin yawned lifting his head from the pillow.

Vexen turned his back to the naked Xaldin and sighed. He knew he wasn't going to get anywhere with this man. "Did you put the girls in their rooms before you went to sleep?" He asked calmly putting his hand to his forehead.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Xaldin put his head on his wrist and yawned.

"Never mind," Vexen disappeared and let Xaldin go back to sleep.

AN: Sorry about the wait, I'm finishing these chapters slower now…
