Xion got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. Lea and Isa were laying their heads on the kitchen table, obviously half asleep. Xion yawned and looked around the room, and saw that Braig wasn't there.
"He's out getting breakfast?" she guessed, as he had always gone out to get breakfast ever since he first moved in with them about a week ago. She hated recalling that day, and the events that had taken place.
"Yup," Isa said with a yawn. Lea sighed, and took his head off the table.
"Ugh!" he yelled out in frustration, "I'm sick and tired of eating 'Braig's Catch of the Day'!" He slammed his head back onto the table.
"Well, we can't tell him that!" Xion said defensively "It would hurt his feelings."
"I don't even care anymore!" Lea said taking his head back off the table. "All I care about right now is the f act that I'm sick of ea ting-"
"Time for the Catch of the Day!" Braig yelled, kicking the door open. He was holding two dead squirrels by the tails. Lea stood up.
"Don't hurt his feelings!" Xion whispered in his ear. Lea nodded, and took a deep breath.
" Dude, we're sick of eating your squirrels," Lea said bluntly. Xion, thinking that was a bit harsh, facepalmed.
"Ok~," Braig said nonchalantly as he threw his two squirrels out the door. Lea looked at Xion with an "I told you so" face. "So, where are we going to eat instead?"
"How about that fancy restaurant Lea was talking about before?" Xion suggested.
"I'm ok with that," Isa commented.
"Then let's go!" Lea said, about to head out the door.
"Wait a minute!" Xion said to him. "Shouldn't you change out of your pajamas first?" Lea then remembered that he had lazily neglected to change out of his pajamas when he got up. Isa sighed and Lea laughed.
"I'll go do that now," he said scratching his head. And so he ran off to his room.
After Lea finally put on some suitable clothes, they headed off to the restaurant, Lea leading the way. Around halfway there, Lea stopped them as they were about to round a corner. He put his finger to his lips in a shushing gesture. "Shhh," he sushed. He peeked around the corner, and then gestured for the others to do so too. They then saw what Lea was so fascinated about, for they saw the back of a very young child with light blue/purple hair who was wearing a little lab coat.
"Is that...?" Xion didn't have to finish, because they all knew what she was going to say, and they all knew it was true.
"It's Ienzo!" Braig whispered, just as Ienzo began walking off.
"Let's follow him!" Lea suggested, and he tiptoed off, without waiting for an answer. So, of course, everyone else followed.
They followed the little blue-nette and hid behind whatever they could find on the way.
"Why are we even doing this?" Xion whispered to Lea. Lea shrugged. A few minutes later, Ienzo suddenly stopped.
"Why in Kingdom Hearts are you guys following me?" he said, without even turning around. Lea put his finger to his lips again, signaling not to make a sound. "I know you're there, you idiots," Ienzo said bluntly. Lea stood first and the others followed.
"Hey..." Lea said, nervously scratching his head. Ienzo walked over to him and hit him in the knee with a book. "Ow!" he exclaimed. "Are you serious?" Ienzo looked up at him and threw the book at his face. "What the he-" Xion covered his mouth.
"Don't cuss in front of young children!" she said bossily. She then turned to Ienzo. "How did you know we were here?"
"I could smell you," he said, pointing to his nose.
"Wow," Isa said. "You wanna come eat with us?" Ienzo's stomach growled and he nodded.
"So, why were you wandering around like that?" Xion asked Ienzo as they were about to walk into the restaurant.
"I was looking for Even," he replied. "He's my legal guardian."
"Oh, you mean that kill-joy, crazy, mad scientist, pedo?" Lea said jokingly. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
"It's not nice to gossip!" Even said, his fist still on Lea's head.
"How did you- But you were- And I was...What?" Lea stuttered. He wasn't sure how Even got there all of a sudden, but he knew that this was bad, because knowing Xion, he, along with Ienzo, would be invited to their house. But, who knows? Maybe she'd surprise him.
Ienzo walked over to his guardian and tugged on his lab coat.
"Oh, hello there Ienzo!" Even exclaimed. "I didn't see you there, you were so short-" Ienzo dropped his heavy book on Even's foot. "OW!" Even yelped, holding his foot and hopping up and down. Ienzo picked up his book and headed toward the restaurant.
"Uh, you can come if you want..." Xion said reluctantly to Even.
"Oh, sure, I'd love to!" Even exclaimed happily as he followed the group into the restaurant. Lea went over to bang his head against the wall as Braig asked a waiter for a table. Xion and Isa patted his back and Even and Ienzo stood near Braig.
The group was directed to a table and they ordered their food. "So..." Isa said.
"Um, so Even!" Xion said cheerily, "Where have you been staying?"
"Oh, I found a cheap hotel down in Second District," Even replied.
"Well..." Xion began reluctantly.
"Don't say it!" Lea thought. If Even were to stay with them, it'd be the end for Lea.
"You know," Xion said, "we have enough room at our place if you want..."
"Really?" Even's face illuminated. "That's so thoughtful of you! Thank you!" Ienzo nodded to Xion, his way of saying thanks. Braig and Isa's eyes widened and Lea slammed his head on the table.
Let the torture begin.
