Drabbles Written between 11:30 and Midnight

A/N: I promise, I'm trying to be productive. School just started, k? College ain't easy, folks. Now, enjoy my little drabble and make my good day better, ok?

Thanks for the reviews! If you reviewed my two oneshots and are reading this… thank you too! Now on with the drabble! Enjoy, my friends!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, or the characters affiliated with it.

The challenge: I got two choices: Apple Tree or Cherry Tree. I chose… both!

Drabble 7: APPLE OR CHERRY?

"Apple."

"Cherry."

"Apple." Roxas stared Axel down.

"Cherry," Axel growled, glaring back at Roxas.

"No, it's my kitchen and I say we're making APPLE turnovers!" Roxas snapped angrily, clanging some metal mixing bowls on to the counter after grabbing them from the cabinet next to the oven.

"Cherry. Turnovers. My hair is red and I want the desserts to match, dang it!" Axel slammed a fist on the table, frustrated.

Roxas pulled the refrigerator door open angrily, slammed a couple of fruit and vegetable storage drawers, and threw a hard, round object straight at Axel's face.

"Ow!" he cried as the object hit the arm he raised to shield himself, "That hurt!"

"That," Roxas hissed dangerously, "is a golden delicious apple. The color of my hair."

"Gah!" Axel cried and threw up his hands, "You're so stubborn!"

"I'm stubborn?" Roxas yelled, slamming a metal spoon onto the counter and throwing an apron he had just retrieved from another drawer at Axel. "You're the stubborn one!"

"You are positively the most stubborn boy I have ever met! Not to mention the fact that you have the worst taste in fruit!" Axel yelled, pulling on his hair.

"Oh REALLY?" Roxas pointed a finger at Axel. "Shut up and put that apron on!"

"And now you're ORDERING me around?" Axel howled while tying the apron around his neck, "Don't tell me this girly apron belongs to you – "

"It's mine," a red-haired girl said calmly from the kitchen entryway. "What's going on here?"

"APPLE or CHERRY?" Axel and Roxas demanded of the poor girl who looked a little frightened.

"Uhh…" the girl stopped to think.

"Now don't agree with him just because he's your little brother, Kairi," Axel demanded, pointing a spoon he took off the counter at Roxas, "We're making cherry turnovers."

"Don't point that at me! And she'll agree with me because we share the same tastes!" Roxas justified.

"Well, which is it going to be, Kai – " Axel started to ask, when both boys looked over and discovered that Kairi was… gone.

"KAIRI!" Roxas howled, livid.

"Just make them both!" Kairi called from somewhere upstairs, "Mom'll be happy either way!"

Roxas and Axel continued to glare at each other. They continued their fierce eye contact until Roxas gave in and blinked.

"Fine," he snapped, "We'll make them both."

Axel started to smirk, so Roxas rapidly added, "But your cherry turnovers better be perfect or you're never coming over or cooking with me again."

"Of course, Axel said smoothly, "Perfect is my middle name. Got it memorized?"

*!*!*

Fifty minutes later, twenty cherry and twenty apple turnovers were in the oven, to bake until they turned a lovely golden color.

The two boys heard the front door open and close, and a set of keys jingling.

"Mmmm, what smells so good?" a female voice drifted towards the kitchen, "Mom? What have you been cook – " The blonde source of the voice stopped short when she finally reached the kitchen. "What in the –" she started to screech, when Roxas cut her off.

"Out of the kitchen, Larxene," he demanded, "We're cooking in here."

"Yes, I can quite obviously see that," Larxene snarled, waving a hand, "What happened here? Roxas, why are you covered in flour? You look like a ghost you're all – " Then, she saw Axel.

"Axel?" she asked curiously, "Why are you wearing a pink frilly apron? Please don't tell me that says kiss me, I'm cooking… Oh God, it does. I'm leaving now…" She turned to head towards the stairs when she glanced back at Roxas, glaring, "You better clean all this up before Mom gets home." Then, she looked at Axel. "Axel, you've got several pieces of eggshell in your hair. And sugar. Your hair is positively shining in the light." She narrowed her eyes and raised an eyebrow, "Please don't waste anymore cherries by using them as earrings, ok? They're expensive." She then began to head up the stairs. "Maybe I'll come back down with the camera!" she called, from a distance.

"LARXENE!" Roxas yelled, obviously peeved, "LEAVE US ALONE!"

The only reply that could be heard was laughter closer to evil cackling.

Roxas turned to Axel with a stern expression which crumbled immediately. He couldn't help laughing when he saw Axel's latest shenanigans. "I didn't realize you had a nose piercing, Axel," Roxas commented in between chuckles, "That cherry nose ring is so… unique."

"It suits me perfectly, doesn't it?" Axel turned his head to show off the cherry duo that was suspended from his nose by a bit of dough.

"Oh yes… perfect."

The two laughed together, ready to start the clean-up process, and looking forward to their delicious desserts.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*

A/N: My sister and I used to always hang cherries from our ears and pretend they were earrings. It was fun.

So… seriously. Apple or Cherry? I think that I personally would choose cherry turnovers. How about you?
