"SORA!!!!! I'M HEEEERE!" I called out as I threw open the door. I heard him running down the stairs, brush in hand.

"OHMIGAWD! VAL! I MISSED YOU!" He cried, pouncing on me and knocking us both to the floor. Something hard was pressed against my left breast.

"Dammit, Sora! That brush is digging into my chest!" I laughed, pushing him off me. He threw the brush in the other direction and helped me up.

"So, what is it? You can call me Val now? Good, I hated that other nickname." I smirk, throwing my bag at him. He grins.

"YOU were the one that thought of it! I found it cool, although it was a bit eccentric!" He giggled, helping me brush off my jeans.

"What am I, if not eccentric? Where's Uncle Luxord and Roxas? God I miss teasing Roxas, you may be twins, but he is so much more emo…"

"Luxord is out with his new boyfriend, and Roxas is somewhere making out with Axel, I think, if they haven't done it." He replied nonchalantly, grabbing my bags and walking downstairs. Oh, I'm going to stab him. He knows how important this is.

"I NEED DETAILS, SORA! WHEN DID LUXORD AND ROXAS GO GAY? WHO'S AXEL AND XIGBAR! TELL ME! TELL ME!" I beg, grabbing the back of his shirt.

"You'll meet Xigbar in about 20 minutes, and you'll meet Axel at the party tonight. A couple months ago, actually." He laughs, breaking free of my grasp.

"What party?" I give him a death glare, even thouh he can't see it. I really do prefer knowing about these things.

"Riku invited me to a party tonight. Your coming."

"Riku?! The hot silver haired guy you always talk about?! OHmigawd! I'll get ready, how long do I have? I look terrible, dammit!"

"Two hours. I already have a nice outfit for you." He walks down the stairs, opening the door into my bedroom. At the moment, it was empty, save for a desk, dresser and bed with a red comforter. And… it can't be… was it?!

"YOU BOUGHT ME A LAPTOP?!" I screech, running over to the desk and hugging the thing.

"Yup!" He chirped, dropping my bag carelessly on the floor. I givethe brunette a giant bear hug as thanks, but wait…

"Um, I called you like ten m inutes ago, I wanted to surprise by making you think I'd be here in hours not minutes, so how did you find the time to go get a dress… oh, oh! My little cross dresser!" Ilaugh, hugging him tighter as a blush spreads across hiss cheeks.

"Just don't tell anyone!" Sore laughs, struggling out of my embrace.

"Mmkay. I'm gonna get ready. OUT!" I push him out the door, throwing the hairbrush that somehow ended up in my room after him. It shouldn't take long, I really only have forty minutes, I know Uncle Luxord, when he says 20 minutes, he's always late, double the time he says he'll be home. I don't want to be getting ready while he's home, so I'll do it now. Good thing I already had a shower! I pull out a new pair of underwear, along with a hot pink bra, and tug of my dirty clothes, putting the new ones on. Sora always has great fashion sense, I'll trust him. I rummage through my bag, looking for my straightner. Finding it, I plug it into the wall behind my desk. Waiting for it to heat up, I apply light blue eyeshadow behind each of my eyelids, flinching when I pull out a lash. Hm… I should put away some clothes. Grabbing a random pile of clothes out of my bag, I shove them into the drawer, pushing with all my might against it to get it closed. I go through my bag again, throwing my large plush polar bear onto the bed, along with my "Fruits Basket" books, and toiletries and DS. I think I'll do my nails again. I pull the little brush out of one of the bottles, gliding the bright red substance over each nail, switching hands when needed. Blowing on them to dry, I run a brush haphazardly through my hair, brushing out all the knots. Oh, I think the straightners done. I drag the metal through my hair, watching as my dyed burgundy hair goes from poofy and windblown to straight and normal, I scream for Sora.

"SORA! IS LUXORD HERE YET?!"

"No! " came the muffled reply from the other room.

"OKTHANKS!" I scream back, unplugging the straightner. Oh damn, need to use the washroom. I don't wanna get dressed. Oh, I'll just pull on my oversized PJ pants, so Sora doesn't have to see my thighs, since I only have the underwear and bra on. I quickly open the door and sprint up the stairs, when a faint click from the front hall door stops me in my tracks. A spiky haired blonde comes in, with a red head behind him, the redheads arm wrapped firmly around his waist. The blonde was wearing a tight black shirt and kakhis, while the redhead was wearing a red and grey checkered hoodie and skinny jeans. The redhead had amazing green eyes, while the blonde had blue eyes, brighter than my own.

"ROXAAAAS!!!!" I squuel, running to the door and pouncing on him, not unlike Sora did to me a few moments ago. Falling on the floor, the redhead looks at me curiously. Roxas laughs,

"Hi Val, I thought you were coming later?"
"What, you didn't want me here?"

"No, no! Just wondering… and… um, where's your … shirt?"

"Like it bothers you."

"No, but my boyfriend, maybe…" Roxas laughs, squirming underneath me. Blushing, I stand up and wrap my arms around my chest, sucking in my stomach. Damn it, I am so oblivious.

"Hey, I didn't mind the sight…" The Red head chuckles, helping Roxas up. Roxas glowers at him, passing me a coat from the closet.

"Thanks." I mumble, turning my back to them and putting it on, turning around, I realize that the redhead must be Axel.

"Your Axel, right? RIGHT! YOU HAVE TO BE! Unless, Roxy, you cheating on the other guy Sora told me about or what here?: I yelp. I think I had too much sugar.

"Val… please, please stop eating sugar. Naw, this is Axel."

"HI AXEL! HOW ARE YOU?! MY NAMES VALERIE! I LOVE YOUR TATOOS!" I jump up and down, debating whether or not to hug me.

"Oh. Hi Valerie. So, are you here to molest little Roxy and Sora… or…" He's still chuckling.

"NO! I'm their cousin, it doesn't bother me or them, but Sora never said you were coming and-and"

"Hey, it's ok, Roxy, you never told me there was gonna be shirtless girls running around all the time!"

"Hey, I have a bra on!"

"Whatever. Same deal. You're the girl coming to the party?" I laugh at Roxas, who looks really pissed off. Not at me, obviously, but I assume Axel makes comments like this a lot.

"Yup! Getting ready now! Oh right, I had to go to the washroom…" Roxas laughs at me as I throw him the coat and I sprint to the bathroom, cringing at the cold air from the door. I pull down my pants, still blushing from the embarrassing incident. Oh well, no one will really care. Ahh…. That feels good, I really did have to go… Washing my hands now, lalalalaaaaaaaaaa…. I open the white door, running back to the basement, letting out a whistle when I see Axel giving Roxas a quick kiss as I pass them on the couch. Roxas looks embarrassed, but Axel just laughs and pulls him back in. Ah, downstairs… wait, I need the outfit from Sora.

"SORA!" I call again, barging in his door, the second one on the right.

Here it is, Val. You met Axel, I heard. Sorry I Forgot to tell you." Sora giggles, throwing me a knee length burgundy skirt, and a long sleeve black shirt, with roses along the side and flowing sleeves. The bottom of the shirt is really long, covering about half the skirt. It could probably be a dress, if I were a slut. Haha.

"Thanks Sora! How much longer 'till Uncle Luxord and dear old Xiggy are here?" I smile innocently at Sora, wondering if he'll notice the nickname.

"Don't call him that. About now, actually. Oh look, I hear the door bell now."

"Oh! Ok, I'm getting changed, now, then. Turn around!" I snap, whipping of my PJ pants and pulling the skirt up, throwing on my shirt at the same time. That's pretty hard. I check to see if I'm presentable in his mirror quickly, then run up the stairs too see Luxord.

"Uncle Luxord!" I cry, running up to him and hugging him. Ah, my distraction seems to have saved Roxas some embarrassment, seeing as he and Axel were kissing, again. That's like 3 times in 5 minutes, god.

"Hi, Valerie. How are you? Did Sora allow you sugar again?" HE laughs, lifting me up and swinging me around.

"Nope! I had some in the car!" I giggle, struggling out of his grasp and dropping to the floor. A man with a sleek black ponytail stands beside him, peering at me through the one eye not covered by a patch. A long scar runs from the bottom of his eye to his earlobe, but it looks really old. He's wearing a long black coat, but underneath it he has on a white tshirt and grey sweatpants.

"Hi!" I say happily, shaking the mans hand.

"Val, this is Xigbar. Xigbar, Val." Luxord says, waving g a hand at each of us.

"Hi, Val." He chuckles, pulling me into a one armed hug.

"Oof!" He has a strong grip. Letting go, I wave bye to Luxord, and run downstairs to get my room set up.

"SORA! YOU BETTER GODDAM HELP ME GET MY ROOM SET UP, FOXY-ROXY IS TOO BUSY MAKING OUT!" I hear a slight squeek upstairs, and loud laughing.

"Coming, Val… you really are not allowed sugar." Sora sighs, coming in the room with me.

At the party

"Ohmigawd, who are all these people? They all gay?" I whisper to Sora, walking into the house with loud, blaring music.

"Mostly. See that redhaired girl with the brunette and blonde? That's Kairi, Olette, and Namine. Come on!" He waves at them and runs over. I follow behind, at bit surprised by all the people.

"Hi!" I squeak shaking all their hands. "Your.. ermm.."

"Kairi." The redhead says.

"Olette!' The brunette in brown braids says happily.

"I'm Namine! You are?" The blonde squeaks, nudging Kairi, whos eyes seem to be glued on a redhead with a long pigtail.

"Valerie. I just got here, I'm Sora and Roxas' cousin. I'm 14, though, so your all older than me, right?" They nod.

"16" Kairi says, tearing her eyes away from the other redhead to greet me.

"Well, I'm 14, too. Hi!" Olette speaks again. She has a nice voice, soft and sweet.

"I'm 15, but my birthdays next month. Kairi is oldest." Namine explains, sipping on some amber colored drink.

"Well hi! Wait, where'd Sora go? Oh, there's that silver haired guy." I glance behind me, giving Sora a thumbs up.

"Ya, that's Riku. They're so gay for each other, it isn't funny." Olette laughs at Sora, who just tripped over his own two feet.

"Really? They going out?"

"Naw, they're both stubborn as a mule."

"About what?"

"That they're only best friends."

"Cliché…" I sigh, seeing as Sora just spilt his Coke can all over his shirt, "Sora really screws things up."

"Naw, Riku finds it cute, look!" I watch as Riku laughs, helping Sora up and using a napkin to wipe him off. They really are good for each other.

"Kairi? Namine? Olette?"

"Ya?" Namine looks at me in reply, seeing as Kairi is staring at the redheadd again, and Olette seems to hae spaced out while watching Riku and Sora.

"I have a plan to get them together… but I'll need you guy's help. Do you mind?"

"Not at all!" They all turn to me and grin evilly, each putting a hand on front of them. I put my hand on top o ftheirs, and start laughing like person, which all of the other girls decide to do too. I guess it got really loud, 'cause now everyone is staring at us… heehee.


TWO UPDATES IN ONE DAY! WOOT! So proud… ~sniffle~ So, I know it's a bit rushed, but I'm pressed for time here, and really sick. Valerie isn't my real name, but I always wished it was! Haha! Please review! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE! 8)
