Drabble 13: Yes, Sister Dearest

It was raining… again. For the fifth day in a row.

Axel was not pleased.

Why, you ask? Because he was stuck at home with his four ridiculous sisters, that's why.

"Axellll. Will you play with me?" the youngest of the four girls, Naminé, a tiny blonde 6-year-old, asked while holding out the recipe to Easy Bake Oven chocolate chip cookies.

"Why don't you ask Mickey to play with you?" Axel asked gently, referring to the girl's imaginary friend.

"He's allergic to chocolate," Naminé whined, pouting. "Axellllllll. Pretty please?" the little girl begged, nearly in tears.

"Did Axel say something mean to you, Nami?" Axel's second-oldest sister, Larxene, inquired when she walked in the room and saw Naminé's distress. "I can punish him, if you like," Larxene offered, smirking.

"Larxeeeeeeene! Axel won't bake cookies with me!" Naminé cried out, waving the recipe around.

"Aw, sweetie, I'll convince him to play with you," Larxene soothed while smiling evilly. She rolled her sleeves up and assumed a martial arts position. "I've been looking for someone to practice my karate on! I haven't been to the dojo in days because of the rain!"

"Don't come near me, Larxene," Axel warned, glaring at her. "We can play later, Nami," he turned to his littlest sister, "I need to finish this English paper first."

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Little Naminé burst into tears right after a loud clap of thunder shook the house, causing the family dogs to all start barking.

"Would you all just BE QUIET? I am trying to meditate here! I was THIS CLOSE to finding my inner self!" Axel's second-youngest sister, Kairi, screamed from her room on the second floor.

"Teenagers," Larxene snorted, rolling her eyes. "So glad to be over that."

"I don't think you've quite recovered from being an obnoxious teen, Larxene," Axel commented dryly, returning his attention to his laptop screen.

"Oh no you don't! I challenge you! If you win, I let you free to rot in front of your laptop screen! But! If I win you have to play with Naminé! Hah!" Larxene pointed fiercely at Axel, reassuming her karate position.

"Why don't you play with her, Larxene?" Axel asked, raising an eyebrow while plugging his ears with his fingers to block out the sound of his littlest sister's wailing. "Oh, I forgot. You hate chocolate chip cookies. And puppy dogs. And fluffy blankets. And everything that's good and nice in this world."

"AXEL!" Larxene shrieked, ready to pounce.

"YOU GUYS! STOP interrupting my yoga exercises! HOW am I supposed to relax and achieve NIRVANA if your SILLY NOISEMAKING keeps breaking my CONCENTRATION? Can't a girl find the path to enlightenment in PEACE?" Kairi screeched from the stairway, and three Seventeen magazines came flying towards Axel and Larxene.

Larxene deftly blocked all three dangerous flying objects with her karate moves and sighed. "Girls," Axel commented, shaking his head and returning to his paper.

Larxene swiftly turned her attention back towards Axel. "YOU – "

"Axel! Larxene! Why is Nami Nami crying?" Axel's fourth and eldest sister, a recent art school graduate, scolded as she entered the living room.

"Nami sweetheart, don't cry. You'll upset your sisters and brother," Aerith chided gently, picking Naminé up and wiping away her tears.

"Axel's a meany, Larxene doesn't like chocolate chip cookies, and Kairi's a weirdo, Aerith! You're the only nice sister!" Naminé pouted, clinging to her elder sister. "They won't play with me!"

"Axel! Larxene! Is this true? You won't play with your adorable little sister?" Aerith asked sternly, taking the cookie recipe from Naminé's hand.

"Uhhh…" Axel and Larxene looked at each other guiltily.

"Um… not exactly!" Axel exclaimed quickly, not liking the way that Aerith was looking at him.

"It's – um – not quite - !" Larxene began explaining nervously, when Aerith cut her off.

"No need for explanations. I understand the situation perfectly."

"You… do?" Axel wondered, looking from Aerith to Larxene.

"Of course," Aerith smiled gently, "And I know that you two are obviously busy, since you have no time to play with your little sister, but I have a verrrry special job for you two and Kairi, and it would make me, your dear older sister who works so hard and does everything for you and packs your lunches even though two of you are in college and has no time for herself. Yes, it would please me very much if you would do this one small thing for me." Aerith smiled sweetly.

Axel and Larxene looked at each other. No one could guilt them into doing things they didn't want to like Aerith could…

*!*!*

"She's evil. Pure evil," Larxene hissed in a vicious whisper in Axel's ear as Aerith adjusted a few strings in the back of Larxene's dress, "Pure – OUCH!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I pull that too tight?" Aerith asked innocently. "Did I interrupt your conversation?"

"Of course not, Aerith," Larxene said quickly, standing up a bit straighter as Aerith used a needle to adjust the hem of the dress Larxene was modeling, "I was merely telling Axel how simply lovely he looks in all those frills. I do hope you'll wear that dress when you're the maid of honor at my wedding, Axel." Larxene laughed lightly, admiring the poofy dress Aerith had designed that Axel was currently wearing.

"Aw, thanks, Larxene," Axel responded sarcastically, "I'm just afraid I'll never get to wear this dress because I can't think of one man who would ever marry you."

Larxene glared at him evilly and was about to let loose a nasty retort she had carefully formulated when Aerith spoke up, tugging at Larxene's dress.

"I'm so glad you two are enjoying this!" Aerith smiled, with a hint of an evil glint in her eyes, "I hope next time you have some spare time you'll decide to play with cute little Naminé!" Then Aerith looked around and frowned. "Where's our third sister? KAIRI!" Aerith bellowed, "Come out here, dear, I need to get that dress finished! Mrs. Kisaragi wants it done on time for her daughter to wear at her sweet sixteen tomorrow night!"

"I hate that girl," Kairi huffed as she stepped out from behind a curtain Aerith had set up to corner off some space as a dressing room, "She is so… out there." Axel and Larxene rolled their eyes simultaneously at this remark, knowing how ridiculous that sounded coming out of Kairi's mouth.

"Oh, Kairi, you look gorgeous!" Aerith gushed, rushing over to Kairi and admiring the full-length blue gown she had designed.

"Why is Axel wearing a frilly dress?" Kairi asked bluntly, looking at her brother and ignoring her older sister.

"Because I am tall and gorgeous and make the perfect model," Axel responded smoothly, striking a runway pose.

"Axel, you have the figure every woman would kill for," Aerith commented nonchalantly, adjusting Kairi's dress as both of her younger sisters burst into laughter, much to Axel's displeasure.

"So true!" Larxene howled, as she wiped away tears of laughter.

"Axel?" Naminé walked into the room, drawn by the laughter resounding throughout the house. She looked up at her older brother. "You look so pretty, Axel!"

Larxene and Kairi continued to die of laughter and even Aerith let out a giggle.

"Axel, why don't you go play with your sister until it's your turn for a fitting?" Aerith suggested, regaining her composure.

Axel muttered something unintelligible under his breath.

*!*!*

15 minutes later, Axel found himself in front of the bright pink easy bake oven, in a long frilly dress, checking on his latest batch of chocolate chip cookies.

I hope it stops raining soon.
