Author's note: If you guys hate me for not updating after two years, I understand. I've just gone over a few changes over these years, and felt that my projects were becoming lesser and lesser. I feel a bit clearer now and decided to continue this story. Please bear with me!

I OWN NOTHING.

Mrs. Larxene led Axel outside and upstairs, to the room that no one had touched for the past fifteen years. She couldn't help but to look back at him. His face was emotionless, but his eyes told a story to the world.

She unlocked the beaten door to the second floor, pushing it open with little ease. She entered in with no hesitation.

It was different to Axel, though. He stood in his spot outside the door and let the shock settle itself. The once bright and happier atmosphere he had remembered had completely left. Cobwebs were everywhere. The furniture was covered by sheets, while a broken mirror was left alone on a wall.

It wasn't until he saw Larxene prying one of the floorboards open that he awoke from his daze. Making a face, she gets it up and puts it to the side to reveal to him a hidden area. He remembered that area…

Gently, Larxene removed from the space what seemed to be a large velvet case. Her eyes moved towards Axel, who was already kneeling on the floor with her, ready for the case. He opened it, and immediately, his stomach warmed.

"When they came for your girl," Mrs. Larxene said, almost whispering, "I hid 'em. I thought, maybe one day. Must have been cracked in the head, aye?"

He didn't respond. His eyes seemed transfigured into the case. She peered over him to see what had been held in it. It had been so long.

"Those handles are silver," She said, "yes?"

"Silver," He breathed. His hand slowly went in, and traced the contents.

These are my friends,

See how they glisten.

He pulled out a chakram and held it so that the light could hit it perfectly, giving it such beauty. A smile twitched at his mouth.

See this one shine,

How he smiles in the light.

His fingers barely touched the object, afraid that it might all be fake.

My friend, my faithful friend.

Speak to me friend,

Whisper, I'll listen.

Mrs. Larxene watched as he brought his face closer to the sharp object, amazed by the scene. Her mouth was agape while her eyes followed every one of his fluid movements.

I know, I know--

You've been locked out of sight

All these years--

Like me, my friend.

He stood up and held the chakram in the air, making Larxene lose her breath. It was beautiful…and so was he.

Well, I've come home

To find you waiting.

Memories flocked into Axel's head. His shop, the customers, everything. It was all so close to him, and yet it had happened so long ago.

Home,

And we're together,

And we'll do wonders,

Won't we?

Larxene leaned close to Axel's face, behind him. Her eyes were not on the chakram, but the man.

You there my friend

Her voice rose to her throat at the sound of his singing. She joined with no hesitance.

I'm your friend, too, Mr. Todd

Their voices were combining together, as Axel serenaded his chakram and Larxene to him.

Come let me hold you

Her fingers dug into the clothes on his shoulders. He didn't even notice one bit of it.

If you only knew Mr. Todd

Now, move aside

Oh, Mr. Todd

You grow warm in my hand

You're warm in my hand

My friend

You've come home

My clever friend

Always had a fondness, for you I did

Their voices lowed together perfectly. Axel's eyes had softened and glistened as the memories still made their way through him. Larxene's never left his face.

Rest now, my friends

Never you fear, Mr. Todd

Soon I'll unfold you

You can move in here, Mr. Todd

Soon you'll know

Splendors you never

Have dreamed all

Your days

Will be yours

My lucky friends

I'm your friend

'Till now your shine

Was merely silver

Now you're mine

Don't they shine beautiful

Friends

Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T

Mrs. Larxene's grip on him loosened as his hand lowered with the chakram still in it. Now her eyes looked back at it, seeing a resemblance in the two of them. Both strong and bright, yet lonely after so many years of isolation. He continued to sing.

You shall drip rubies

You shall drip precious

Rubies

Finally being able to take his gaze away from his friend, he returned to his colder demeanor and looked at Larxene. She still was close enough to smell his breath.

"Please, leave me," He asked her, though seeming like it was more of a demand.

She didn't dare question his order. Keeping her eyes on him, until she came closer to the door, she walked out with a wide mouth, and a spinning head.

Axel's attention returned immediately to the chakram, which made him smirk. Holding it out at arm's length, his smirk turned into a wicked smile.

"At last," He yelled, "My arm is complete again!"

The feeling became intense as he glared out the window. One part of him was complete. Right at that moment, he felt his vengeance coming.
