Eddie: Sorry the last chapter was cut short and that we haven't updated in…forever. Alex woke up and stole the computer back, and we (as in Kuramu and myself) haven't been able to write since.
Kuramu: But now, Alex is visiting someone in Canada.
Eddie: So, UPDATE!!
Xemnas: Will I be appearing in this?
Eddie: Uh…
Kuramu: *stuffs Xemnas back into the box of evil*
Xemnas: mmph. *rattle of box*
Eddie: ON WITH THE STORY!
LineBreak—LineBreak—LineBreak
Zexion stared at the ruined DDR machines in the arcade. "Well, the nearest arcade is back in Twilight Town. We can take the evening train, I guess."
"But, I don't want to go back," Demyx said as he leaned against the machine. "This place is so cool."
"You only say that because of all the water," Axel muttered. "Where's Roxas, anyway?"
"Probably watching the perpetual sunset," Zexion shrugged.
Eddie: Really?
Kuramu: It's Twilight Town. When isn't there a sunset? I think the only time it's dark is when Roxas faints in the game.
Roxas: I do not faint like some Victorian shrew!
Kuramu: Uh…
Eddie: He's been reading Jane Austen again, hasn't he?
Organization members: *nod*
Roxas: I hate you guys.
"Hey, guys!" Sora ran up to Riku and Kairi. "You'll never believe this!"
"Aliens have landed? Roxas is actually a chibi Cloud? You've found another flavor of ice cream?" Riku asked. Kairi stared at him for a moment before giggling.
"Huh?" Sora looked confused. "No, I found someone else!"
"Oh?" Riku and Kairi shared a look. Sora was prone to finding random people from their adventures in the unlikeliest of places.
"Yeah, Roxas and I were watching the perpetual sunset, which is really odd by the way, and I saw her, sitting on the beach," Sora said without taking a breath. "She was sketching the sunset!"
"Sketching the sunset…" Riku trailed off when the saw a girl in a white dress talking with Roxas. "Namine?"
"Who?" Kairi glanced between them. "Who's that? Why does she look like me? Sora!"
"That's Namine," Sora explained. "You know, the girl who trapped me in a crystal artichoke and stole my memories."
"That witch!" Kairi shouted.
"Well, yeah, she is like a witch. She restored my memories though. And she's also you're Nobody…" Sora trailed off when Kairi ran toward Namine.
Axel: Is this going to be a girl fight?
Eddie: I dunno.
Kuramu: Maybe?
Namine: But…I don't like fighting. *adorable pout*
Eddie: Fine, no girl fight. Maybe a make-over and mani/pedi.
Marluxia: See? You see what I'm missing!
Larxene: Shut up, you pansy.
Marluxia: I'm a ROSE! Not a pansy!
"You've messed up my memories, again!" Kairi pointed an accusing finger at Namine.
"Me?" Namine tapped her chin with a finger. "Have you touched any large, crystal artichokes lately? Or have you been in any oddly roomed castles guarded by men with gender issues? That can cause acute memory loss. Because, I know I didn't cause it. I've been here, painting the sunset! See?" She held up a rather strange rendition of the sunset. It looked like something out a five-year-old's coloring book.
Namine: My art isn't that bad, is it?
Rukia Kuchiki: Actually…
Kuramu/Eddie: *stuff random Bleach character back into the Bleach manila folder*
"So, Namine," Riku walked up to them. "Sora was saying that you might be able to fix Roxas's memories."
"I don't believe I can. Unlike when Sora lost his memories," Namine began. "Roxas lost his quite by accident. Apparently, he ate a papau fruit and was allergic, poor thing. His memories will return, but I wouldn't be able to speed up the process."
Roxas: I'm allergic to papau fruit? Doesn't that mean Sora's allergic too?
Eddie: Good point.
Sora: You mean I can't ever share a papau fruit with Kairi!?
Riku: Hehehehehe
"Hey, guys!" Axel ran up to them and hoisted Roxas onto his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "We have to run if we're going to make the evening train back to Twilight Town."
"Put me down!" Roxas demanded, pounding on Axel's back with his fists. Axel didn't seem to care and simply walked toward the train station.
"Should we grab his stuff?" Riku asked. Demyx was already grabbing the bags and walking off, whistling a tune as he went off in the direction of Axel and Roxas.
"You still want to learn the moves Roxas knows?" Zexion asked as he walked toward them.
"Yeah," Sora nodded.
"Then we'll need to catch the last train to Twilight Town. Follow me," he opened up a dark portal and smirked over his shoulder. "What? You thought we were going to run like those idiots?"
Axel: *fumes over being called an idiot*
Roxas: Why am I being carried like a sack of potatoes?
Kuramu: Would you rather be carried bridal style? *evil smirk*
Roxas: No, no…I like being a sack of potatoes. *backs away slowly*
"That will be five hundred munny," the ticket master said tiredly. Before Roxas could even think to look in his numerous pockets, Luxord appeared out of nowhere and placed the munny in front of them. He then sauntered over to a bench and collapsed.
"Where have you been?" Xigbar and Xaldin asked. They dropped onto either side of the gambler and eyed him. He shoved them away and stood from the bench.
"Ya' remember the only reason I agreed to come 'ere?" Luxord grinned. "Greatest casino in the world, you dolts. I'm a rich, rich man."
"Luxord, a word," Zexion pulled the gambler to one side. "I'd like to include you in a scheme of mine."
"I'm listenin'," Luxord nodded.
Eddie: Dun, dun, dun?
Kuramu: You don't even read the scripts anymore, do you?
Eddie: Eh? Script? What script?
Kuramu: Reader, yes you…you thought we were going to end it there, didn't you?
Reader: O.o Sure?
Kuramu: Well, you're incorrect. Back to the story.
As they boarded the train to Twilight Town, Zexion kept an eye on everyone in the room. Xigbar and Xaldin were discussing ways to steal Luxord's new fortune. Demyx was staring out the window with his headphones on. Kairi and Namine were playing with Riku's hair, much to his annoyance. And Sora was busy talking with Roxas and Axel about something or other. "Alright, here's the plan," Zexion said evenly. Luxord nodded.
"You see the brunette?"
"Yes…"
"He needs to learn how to dance," Zexion said evenly.
"So?"
"You will be providing the munny needed for his education," Zexion replied.
"How 'bout I don't and say I did," Luxord sneered.
"Because he has a keyblade, his Nobody has two keyblades, Riku has a keyblade, and by the way Kairi has a keyblade. And did I mention…we're fatally allergic to keyblades?!" Zexion snapped.
"Right," Luxord nodded. "'Ere's the munny. Do whatever. Never let them near me."
"Deal," Zexion took the pouch of munny and walked off, a grin appearing on his face.
Eddie: So, that's how he's going to fund Sora's new DDR obsession?
Luxord: I feel poor. Is there a gambling area nearby?
Kuramu: No, but if you go find Alex, I'm sure you can cheat your way through a game of Go Fish. I'm sure Alex still has a stash of plushies hidden somewhere.
Somewhere in Canada, Alex sneezes.
Eddie: Hehehe. Please review and give us advice! Or criticism, but constructive criticism. Or just to say hi…we aren't picky. ^_^
