Pandora: Eh heh, no excuse this time….

Vice: ….

Axel: Do you NOT have your lines memorized yet?

Ultimo: Why's Vice being quiet?

Vice: I have no idea why anyone would think this idiot would own any of us *walks out of room*

Pandora: *being held back by both Axel and Ultimo* Grrrrr…..

Chapter 6:

After the shock

Pandora's Point of View:

I sat with Zexion in his room, reading some book on robotics. How ironic, that's how I was made, but apparently they have yet to come up with creating anything too similar to me. I was startled a bit when a hand bopped my head a bit. I looked up to see Zexion looking at me, obviously being the one who bopped me.

"It's probably okay to leave now," He told me, still with that stoic look on his face. I looked up and nodded, I also gave him a big bright smile, since he didn't seem to show her many emotions.

Zexion seemed surprised a bit, but was able to recover quickly. He got off his bed and went to the door, opening it and gesturing outside. "Come on, let's go." He grabbed a different book as he walked outside. I followed after, happily skipping. I seemed to learn something about him: he's a total book worm.

Axels Point of view:

I had managed to get Xion in my room, since hers was on the other side of the hall. Xion fumed as we waited for Xigbar to get out of the room, obviously not liking being in a room alone with me.

I sighed and sat on my bed, motioning for her to sit as well. She glared, but sat. I waited for her to say something, and at some point, wound up lying on my back, hands behind my bed as she huffed and crossed her legs. She gave a final huff before turning to ask me a question.

"Why didn't you go back to Pandora?"

"Sorry, didn't hear ya."

"Why did you leave Pandora?" Xion asked again, this time she was next to me and punched my chest a little. I sighed, having figured that Pandora already explained.

"I thought Pandora told you; I didn't want to leave!" He told her, he gave her a look before saying: "Memorize it this time! I was dragged away from the battle!" he said the last sentence slowly, as if Xion was a small child.

"I know that!" the smaller girl huffed. "I MEANT, why didn't you go back for her when it ended?" Axel thought about the question, closing his eyes and putting one arm over them. He got a flash back of being attacked by a heartless, and waking up as "Axel".

"I was attacked by a heartless, and it took a while to remember," He sighed, hopping that was enough of an explanation. Apparently it wasn't.

"Why didn't you go back after you remembered? Or did you remember everything BUT her?" Xion hit his chest again, a little harder than before. Axel grunted before her moved his arm and gave her the "Don't push it" look. She backed off a bit, but only in means of hitting him. She still pressured her questions.

"After I joined the organization for a year, I did," He admitted, slightly embarrassed, but mainly annoyed at having to admit he went back. "She wasn't there; no one was. Though Ultimo was apparently a little ways away from the site."

Xion fell silent for a while, before she hugged his arm and gave a small apologetic "Sorry". Axel grinned, then sat up, Xion letting his arm go.

"So, got all of that memorized?" He grinned at her. She gave a dutiful nod. "We good now?" she gave another nod. "Alright, let's head out, I think Xig's out of his Pedo state by now."

They walked out, laughing about random stuff, and found Zexion and Pandora sitting next together on the couch. Pandora turned when she heard them, and smiled about them being friends again. Axel gave Pandora a little push to signal her to move a little bit. She complied, making a little flash of annoyance cross Zexion's face for a second as she moved away from him. Axel gave the book-worm a funny look before sitting between him and Pandora, Xion sat at her other side.

The three talked for a while and laughed, Pandora occasionally trying to get Zexion to join, though he kept declining. After a while, Roxas and Trey showed up, immediately jumping in. Saix and Vain ignored them all…like normal…
