Hey, I'm back! And with another random idea that actually happened to me just this morning. Which was actually one in the morning.
Yeah, Sora, Roxas and I love to pull almost all-nighters, except it mostly works during New Year's celebrations. Some things I've learned about those celebrations are that it's never a good idea to drink regular Pepsi or Coke. That will only give you two psychopathic siblings and a strange urge to scream random things and do something so utterly ridiculous.
Anyways, I was trying to find my iPod Touch last night, but I didn't know where it was. I asked my sister, and she said it was probably in our parents' room. I went there, but I didn't find it. I eventually found it in a place where I least expected it, even though I knew I usually put my iPod there.
This is a 358/2 Days drabble, mostly because my sister likes to call me Axel and I like to call her Roxas. We couldn't fit it in the other story because it would seem weird if Axel just got an iPod Touch all of sudden, and also by the fact that Roxas isn't out bothering everyone again.
Don't own KH. We only own our random ideas and our brains where the idea was created in.
Dedicated to that stray black cat that we take care of named Tonchina. She's the cutest cat in the world, and SHE'S SO FLUFFY!
Roxas sat at one of the couches in the Gray Room, reading a book quietly. It was early in the afternoon, and everything is peaceful. The other members would be taking naps, playing poker, eating, reading, or doing missions. Demyx's sitar music flowed throughout the castle, filling the halls with music.
It was peaceful, and Roxas enjoyed it as much as he could. He knew that a peace like this doesn't really last long in the Castle That Never Was. There was always bound to be someone running around the castle complaining about something, like Axel missing his iPod again, or Xemnas telling Demyx to shut up.
His theory was proved correct when Axel was heard running around the castle, asking everyone he saw if they had seen his iPod Touch.
"Roxas!" Axel yelled as he entered the Gray Room. "Have you seen my—"
"IPod? No, I haven't," Roxas answered without taking his eyes off of his book. "Did you check with Demyx if he had stolen it again?"
"Yes I did. And Demyx didn't have it with him this time."
"Did you check with Vexen to see if he took it again to do science experiments on it?"
"Yeah I did. He didn't, though. Couldn't blame him for not stealing my stuff anymore after that time I tried to kill him."
"I thought you did kill him."
"I did!"
"Oh. Did Saïx steal it?"
"No, he never steals my stuff. And Xemnas doesn't even know I have an iPod, so don't even bother."
"Did you check with Larxene?"
"No, because she's dead. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. Did you check with Xion?"
"Yeah, and she doesn't have it."
"Okay, so who haven't you checked with yet?"
"You," Axel said. "Get up. I'm gonna check you."
"Wha—?" Roxas said as he looked at Axel in disbelief. "I just told you that I don't have your iPod!"
"Just get up." Axel insisted.
"Fine," Roxas said as he reluctantly got off the couch.
Axel didn't start searching Roxas, but he actually started to search through the couches instead. He pulled up the cushions and dug around in every crevice, looking for his lost device. After he looked through all of the couches, he sighed in defeat, putting the cushions back.
Roxas stood there slightly confused. "Why did you ask me to get up when you're just going to check the couches?"
Axel answered once he finished putting the cushions back. "Because you could've been sitting on it."
"Since when have I ever sat on your iPod before?" Roxas said as he sat back down.
"More than once, actually," Axel responded as he looked underneath the couches. "To tell you the truth, I'm surprised that it didn't break after all of that time that you sat on it."
Roxas sighed in annoyance as Axel lifted his feet up to examine underneath the couch he was sitting on. "You do know that you're not going to find your iPod here, right?"
"Who knows? I found my iPod in the most weirdest of places."
"Yeah, like in your coat pockets, in your hands, under your blankets and pillows, in the kitchen, in Xemnas's office, in my room when I borrowed it, inside Demyx's sitar, in the labs, in the fridge, in the freezer, in the microwave. Just when I thought that I've seen it all, I open the microwave to find your iPod in there."
"Hey, I didn't put it in there. It was Demyx who put it in there."
"What about that time in the fridge?"
"I was throwing a fit again, and the fridge was the only place where my iPod wouldn't melt. And also the freezer when the fridge melted."
"What's with you melting stuff when you're angry? Mostly our refrigerators?"
"I melt and burn things when I get angry and I don't like fridges and freezers because they're cold."
"Wow Axel, you're lame."
"SHUT UP!"
"Nah, I like bothering you."
"You're annoying, you know that?"
"Yes I do. It's my job, remember?"
"Not really. It's your job when you have nothing else to do in your free time. Which is all the time here for some reason."
"Ah, that's just what makes it even more fun."
"That's just what makes it even more annoying."
"Anyways, have you checked in the kitchen? It might be there?" Roxas suggested.
"No I haven't. I'll go now to find it. Thanks for the idea, though!" Axel said as he left the room.
"You're welcome." Roxas said as he got back to reading.
Axel ran as fast as he could to the kitchen. With most of the members of the Organization gone, it's easier to go around the castle unnoticed. The only problem now is getting spotted by either Xemnas or Saïx. They basically treat the place like it's a military boot camp, and it's harsh on everyone that's left.
Axel managed to get into the kitchen unnoticed and without incident. He looked around the table, on top of the fridge, inside the fridge and freezer, microwave, oven, toaster, and cabinets. He checked everywhere, only to come up empty handed.
Frustrated, Axel let loose some very colorful language.
"You're not supposed to swear, Lea," a voice said.
Axel sighed and closed the spoon drawer that he was going through. "Hello there, Isa," he answered.
"What are you doing going through the spoon drawer?"
"Oh, I'm looking for something. Have you seen it by any chance?"
"Depends on what it is."
"Well, it's rectangular, black on one side, has awesome red flame designs on the other. About this tall and this thick." Axel said. He used his fingers to measure out the size of his iPod.
Saïx sighed as he closed his eyes in disbelief. "You lost your iPod again, didn't you?"
"I didn't lose it! I just… misplaced it, that's all."
"You do realize that if Xemnas finds it, he's going to make you throw it away."
"That's why I'm going to find it first."
"Well, I don't think you're going you're going to find it here."
"Yeah, you're right. I'm leaving. See ya, Isa," Axel said as he headed out of the kitchen.
"Farewell, Lea," Saïx called back.
Somewhere in the Hallways That Never Were
Axel walked around the different hallways, finding himself heading towards his room. He went up to the door and opened it, not knowing exactly why he's doing this.
"Why do I always lose my iPod?" Axel muttered to himself as he flopped down on his bed.
As an instinct, he reached up to his pillow and pulled out his iPod from beneath it. He turned it on and looked through his different music, looking for a song he wanted to listen to.
He realized at that point that Roxas was right about him being slow.
Axel facepalmed himself in annoyance. He honestly couldn't believe that Roxas actually proved himself to be right once more.
Swearing in his mind, he created a Corridor of Darkness.
In the Gray Room
Roxas sat in the Gray Room still reading his book. He almost didn't hear the sounds of a corridor right next to him.
He peeled his eyes off of his book to see about 100 munny with a note next to it sitting on the cushion right next to him. He picked it up the munny and read the note aloud.
"Here's that 100 munny that I owed you. You were right, again. I was wrong again. I am slow. –Axel"
Roxas smiled as he pocketed the munny. "Nice doing business with you, Axel," he said as he continued reading his book.
