I woke up a few hours later. My arm was starting to throb because of my sleeping beauty. It was really getting painful but I didn't want to wake him up. I tried my best not to move.I turned my attention to the music blasting through my ears. It was playing thee...357 song? Okay...My iPod might die but at least I brought my charger.

Even though my iPod was at a deafening volume, I was able to hear my name in the bus. I think it was Axel saying it so I decided to pretend that I was asleep. I turned my iPod off so that I could hear their conversation.

"Aww...Would you look at that." Said axel to...I don't know who.

Turns out it was Namine. "SQUEE!!! Oh my gosh, Axel! You're right!" I blushed ever so slightly.

"Hey, Nami-chan. Take a picture! I'm sure both of them would love a copy in the future." Namine squealed in delight and, from what I could hear, looked for her camera. There was a flash and another fan girl squeal from Namine.

"Hey Axel?"

"hmmmm?"

"Do you think that they're going to be together after the trip?"

"Maybe...Who knows? But they would certainly make a cute couple."

There was a few minutes silence between them which was broken by Axel.

"So, lets set you and Roxy up!!!" He said...actually, shouted which woke Zexion up. "A-axel? What's with all the shouting?"

I decided to wake up as well. I yawned then stretched my arms. "How long have I been out?" I looked at Axel who just shrugged.

"Well..." I said, grabbing my bag of snacks, "Who skipped breakfast? Cuz I'm starving!"

Turns out that the 4 of us didn't have breakfast so we shared my mom's home made pancakes. I ate mine dipped in blue milk. My mom always knew how to make my day. She added food coloring to the milk. When I was younger, I was VERY grumpy when I wake up so my mom would add food coloring to my milk and say it was her "Magic motherly powers" that changed the color. She also said that the special ingredient was love. Hah. I love my mom.

"Hey, Dem?" I stopped my reminiscing and looked at Zexion. "Hmm?"

He giggled. "Nice milk mustache."

"Sh-shut up." I said as I wiped my milk mustache off. "What did you want to ask?"

Zexion swallowed his pancake and asked, "Why is your milk blue?"

Axel also chimed in with his mouth full of pancake. "yeah, Deshmyx." He swallowed. "Isn't that kind of kiddy?"

I stuck my tongue out at him and said, "It's my mom's way of saying 'I love you' because she knows that I'm a zombie in the morning." I took a swig of my milk.

"AWWW!!! Your mom is so sweet!" Namine said. "I want to meet your mom sometime!"

I smiled. "Yeah. My mom is awesome."

The trip was so boring!!! We had like, 2 pit stops on the way and at some point of the trip, Zexion asked if he could borrow my iPod. I complied so now I have no music. Then I remembered that I didn't text my mom yet.

I brought out my phone to find 10 messages. I opened my inbox.

Mom-Have a safe trip, honey!

Mom-Don't forget to brush your teeth!

Mom-Oh! and be sure to eat your breakfast! You'll need the energy!

Saix-hey, demyx! How's the trip so far?

Mom-Where are you now?

Mom-Demyx, I told you to keep your phone on your body at ALL TIMES!!!

Axel-I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!!! LOL

Mom-AND I ALSO TOLD YOU NOT TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONE!!!

Dad-Demyx, be sure to reply to your mother. You know what happens when you don't.

Mom-DEMYYYYX!!!!!!!!

I sighed. "Mom's gonna kill me." I whispered to myself. I replied to mom

Hi mom! I'll be sure to stay safe and I wont forget to brush my teeth. I'm not a kid anymore, mom! And Thanks for breakfast! I love you too! We're almost there. I think I have an hour or so till we get there. I'm sorry I couldn't reply sooner! ^^; I fell asleep. LOVE YOU, MOM!!!

I sent it then answered Saix' message.

Hey other father! LOL! Well, the trip's BORING!!!! I'm just glad we're almost there. I'll make sure Xigbar wont hurt himself too. OH! And I'll bring you lotsa souvenirs! and I'll remind everyone else too!!!

I sent it. I looked at Axel who most likely forgot that he sent a message. I took my shoe off and chucked it at Axel. "HEY!!!" He threw it back. "What was that for?!"

I glared at him. "You know where I live, ey?" He laughed. "I see. I totally forgot about that!!!"

I went back to my phone and replied to dad.

Too late, dad. I AM DOOMED.

I got a call from mom a few minutes later.

"DEMYX!"

"H-hi mom. I'm really so---"

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS?!?!"

"Look, mom. I said I was sorry!!"

"SORRY IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!"

"But MOOOOOM!!!!"

"WHEN YOU GET BACK HOME ,MISTER, YOU ARE SOOOO GROU-----"

I raised my voice. "What's that? Sorry mom but Miss Aerith is calling me! I'll call you back when I get there! C-coming, miss Aerith!!!" Zexion gave me a look.

"DEMYX!!! DON'T YOU HANG UP ON ME!!!"

"Bye mom!!! I love you!!!" Then I hung up.

I looked at Zexion. "Sorry. My mom's a bit over protective at times."

Zexion laughed. "So is mine."
