By the way, I still don't own Kingdom Hearts.


Marluxia looked at the Diviner. He wasn't supposed to do that! What the hell's gonna happen now?!

His answer was almost immediately answered as Saix calmed down at the drop of a hat. Grinning stupidly, his eyes dialated and his balance started to falter. He started chuckling as his feet danced in a vain attempt to regain his balance. Marluxia called his name and grabbed him by the shoulders. He looked into the diviner's vacant eyes and found...nothing. There seemed to be an empty universe in his eyes. Marluxia took his wrist and slung it around his neck to keep him standing. Saix looked at him with half open eyes and, with his one free hand, ruffled his hair and said in a slurred tone, "heh heh, You're the prettiest flower here, aren't you?" Marluxia wasn't sure if he should've taken that as an insult or a compliment. Marluxia started dragging him to a certain part of the greenhouse which was a bed of grass that he sometimes used to sleep on if we wanted to spend the night here. He took the berserker off of his shoulder and sat him down here. Saix was of no more use; that much Marluxia could tell as he stared at the creature, who was laughing with a half-conscious, stoned smile.

His world was spinning around him, and in a place as colorful as the greenhouse it gave him a psychedelic effect. He had no idea what to make of anything, but at this point he didn't care. Somehow I think I knew I was gonna regret eating that…but for some reason anything could happen. He saw a pretty flower directly in front of him, and it seemed to be larger than the rest. It had pink petals and, unlike the other flowers, it had a black stem. The flower started talking to him, and even though he knew that flowers weren't supposed to do that, he decided to let it slide this time because he simply did not care. Hell, the world could end and he'd still be smiling. "Damn it Saix, what am I supposed to do with you now?" the flower said nervously. Well isn't that ruining the mood, Saix thought as he surveyed the colors spinning around him, creating a kaleidoscope of color mingling in the strangest ways possible. He was not moving from this spot for as long as he could get away with it. He wanted this moment to last forever, the colors, the sounds…Are the other flowers talking too? He wondered as he tried to listen to them. He thought he could make out a song, and he started singing with them even though he had no idea what the lyrics were. "You ca' learn a lot o' fings from da flowers…espec'lly in da month o' June!" he slurred as he gestured toward the other flowers.

Marluxia shot up at this. How could Saix possibly know that song? Unless…he thought as he started listening to his plants, and lo and behold they were singing the song. Curiouser and curiouser, he thought as he stared at the berserker, who was still smiling and laughing with one eye closed and the other drooped open. He could only stare in shock as he came to the conclusion that Saix could hear the flowers the same way he could, but only with the help of the berserker nip. Well, now there's something else to keep things complicated. What the hell do I do now? Maybe I should leave him here and keep an eye on him until it blows over. It's not so bad that he can understand the flowers.

Saix laid down on his back on the grass bed. It felt soft as a feather, which brought Saix to the conclusion that he himself felt as light as one. I could just float away to the moon, he realized as he looked up through the glass ceiling at the moon. "Hey I can see the moon from here! Damn Marly, I had no idea you had such a good view from here!" he said as he began staring at its entrancing shape. He had stopped laughing and had gone in a trance with it, staring with clouded, dialated eyes.

Marluxia overlooked the initial insult at being called "Marly" and looked up. Sure enough, Kingdom Hearts was shining with all it's might down on the greenhouse. "Aw shit," he said, wondering how this would affect Saix. Wait a minute, I wonder if the moon, in combination with the berserker nip gave him the power to hear the plants? Isn't the moon associated with psychic power?

He didn't have time to think about this as he heard a knock on the door. Damnit, I don't have time for this! He always used to keep a blanket behind the grass bed for the times when he would sleep there. He threw it over Saix, hoping to shield him from the power of the moon before he went to deal with this new crisis. "Now Saix, I need you to stay here for a minute, do you understand?" he instructed the stoned diviner. He felt odd giving orders to a superior, especially Saix, but here he had no choice. It almost felt good (key word, almost. Remember, they're not supposed to "feel".) to be giving orders, but he couldn't dwell on that right now. Saix responded with a "Hey who turned out the lights?" and more stoned laughter.


By the way, the song Saix is singing is "Golden Afternoon" from Alice in Wonderland. I like to think that Wonderland is where Marluxia came from, but that'll be a whole different fanfic.

"Curiouser and curiouser" is also an Alice in Wonderland quote.
