I'm back everybody! Sorry I didn't update again last weekend-my computer decided to be mean and have issues that rendered me unable to type up this chapter. This chapter is pretty much a random collection of (almost) everyone's adventures on yet another gummi ship ride! It kinda reminds me of The Tales of Ba Sing Se (Avatar episode. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?) Just a reminder the second biggest chapter (in my opinion) of the entire story is next! Enjoy everyone!

*Lauren*

I heard the sounds of Riku creeping quietly out of bed and silently crossing our room to the bathroom. Instinct yelled at me to leap out of bed and knock Riku unconscious. And then wash away any miniscule amounts of guilt with a nice warm shower. But I couldn't do that today. I heard the door close and Riku turn on the shower.

Haha sucker

This may be our best work ever.

Hands down it is.

I have to say I like Riku. I've never known anyone else whose pain is more entertaining to me.

I'm sure if we told him that he'd just feel great about himself.

I relaxed in bed for a few minutes, enjoying that asleep but aware of everything feeling I had. I used Fury's Dark Being ability of shooting black fire out of my hands to entertain myself. I heard Riku yell and I smiled.

*Roxas*

"Only four days of summer left"

"Don't say that! You'll give me an ulcer!"

I sat up straight, panicked. I looked over at Axel, who was asleep peacefully in his bed. His spiky red hair was sticking out in all directions and his hand was dangling over the side of his bed. I shot out of bed and approached Axel's.

"Axel wake up! I need to know what day it is!" I yelled, hitting him with his own hand. Axel opened his eyes for a moment before yawning and closing them again. I grabbed a handful of fiery red hair and pulled, causing his head to leave its resting spot on the pillow.

"Are you awake now?! What's today?! Are there four days of summer left?!"

"Yeah sure little buddy. Whatever you say, four days left…" Axel muttered. I dropped his hair and his face collided with his pillow once again. There can't be only four days of summer left! That would mean that I met Namine exactly a year ago! And I didn't do anything special for today! As I got changed I brainstormed up ideas. By the time I was brushing my hair I had two ideas. Idea one- make Namine her favorite breakfast in the world, blueberry pancakes. Idea two- draw a picture of when the two of us met and then give it to her.

Of course I was still having issues. Just blueberry pancakes didn't seem sincere enough! Namine probably had the entire day planned out! On the other hand though, I couldn't draw a straight line for my life. I sighed

"Blueberry pancakes it is"

*Selphie*

As I walked down the perfect white hallway of this giant gummi ship I realized that I was depressed. Depression was not something I was used to and the knowledge that I was depressed came as I shock to me. Depression and boredom were what I was feeling. Two very un-Selphieish things to be feeling. I guess life just hadn't been going my way.

It had all started back in the Pride Lands when I realized that I did like Tidus as more than a friend and it was next to impossible that he would feel the same way about me. I shook my head and sighed. I was helping defend the worlds from the forces of darkness! The last thing I needed to worry about was guy-related issues! I was going to do what all respectable denizens of light did in their spare time! I was going to go train! I dashed off to my room to find my jump rope.

*Kairi*

I came out of the bathroom, smiling as the cold air hit me in the face. Refreshing. Then of course my moment of perfection was ruined as Selphie barged into our room. Selphie was my best friend but sometimes I could swear that she put something into those Pixie Stix she was constantly eating. Something unhealthy and probably illegal.

"Where's my jump rope?!" she demanded. Taken by surprise it took me a moment to process what she was asking me. I pointed to a corner of our room where I had put my blade and her jump rope. She ran over, seized her jump rope, and sprinted out of the room. I paused for a moment, listening to be sure our ship wasn't under attack or anything. No sounds of Heartless-related chaos reached my ears so I just shrugged it off as the usual Selphie-strangeness and headed out the door at my own, relaxed pace. I headed towards the kitchen upon request of my growling, empty stomach. Roxas brushed past me as Ientered the kitchen, muttering something about Namine. Well he's always talking about Namine, so I suppose that isn't all that strange. But why is everyone in a hurry this morning?! Just then Sora's voice echoed over the intercom

"We are going to arrive at Atlantica in about five hours! So, um, everyone meet in the control room in….four and a half hours!" I smiled to myself, Sora's public speaking skills still needed some work, but at least he was trying!

All my Sora-related thoughts vanished though at the sight of what was sitting on the counter, calling to me. Blueberry pancakes. I smiled and pulled a chair up to the counter. Yum my favorite

*Roxas*

I smiled as I headed back towards the kitchen, everything seemed like it was going to work out. Namine had, much to my delight, decided to sleep in today. So I had just crept into her room and left a note on her night stand telling her to head straight for the kitchen once she was awake and ready. I turned back towards her room and smiled, this time at my quick thinking. I turned back around as I entered the kitchen and screamed at what I saw.

"Nooooooo!" I cried, as Kairi put the last bite of Namine's special blueberry pancakes into her mouth. She slowly chewed them and sent a confused look in my direction.

"Those were supposed to be Namine's!" I exclaimed. Kairi swallowed before replying calmly, despite the terrible situation that could be compared to our ship exploding suddenly.

"Well Roxas, I'm sorry I ate Namine's pancakes, but she wasn't expecting them right?"

"Right"

"So you can just make them again for her tomorrow instead of today right?"

"Wrong! I made them because Namine and I met for the first time exactly one year ago! Now she's going to think I forgot!" Kairi blinked in surprise before, once again, replying calmly, but I could hear her strained patience

"Roxas you and Namine met on-

"The fourth to last day of summer! Which is today!" Without waiting for an answer I ran off to my room, now realizing my only option was to draw Namine a picture. Oh God

*Selphie*

With my short-lived outburst of determination gone I slowly walked towards the training room, my head hanging down limply. Even my bouncy brown hair seemed to have lost its energy. I sighed, my jump rope trailing along behind me. I heard a shout, followed by happy and upbeat laughter. I stopped, oh no. I was so depressed my mind had started playing tricks on me! The fact that the laughter had sounded like Tidus' seriously didn't help. I rounded the corner to where the training room was and slowly lifted up my head; the door required voice activation to open.

My face lit up- Tidus and Wakka were already in the training room!

"SelphieTilmitt" I said, my voice rushing out so quickly that the computerized speaker had to ask me to repeat myself. It took me three tries I was so excited. Once the door finally let me in I exploded into the training room, a bundle of incredible energy and perkiness once again. Ah, it was good to be back.

*Roxas*

I was finally done! It had taken me a half an hour but I had finished! And I could actually tell the difference between me, Namine, and the street of Twilight Town that we were standing on! This was quite an accomplishment. I decided thatbefore Namine saw it I should get someone else's opinion on it. I grabbed the sheet of sketch paper and headed down the hallway, determined to target the first person I found. I didn't expect that person to be Fury though.

I had known Fury for quite a while. I met her and Lauren just after I joined Organization XIII. Of course she still made me feel awkward and nervous, even a little frightened. She gave me an odd look when she noticed that I was coming up to her. She obviously was used to people turning around and going the other way when they saw her. I came up to her and held up my drawing. She raised an eyebrow

"What the hell is this supposed to be?" she asked me, her head peeking out from behind my sketch.

"It's me and Namine in Twilight Town!"

"Ok so why does Namine have two blueberries stuck to her face?"

"Those are her eyes!" Silence….

"Ok I know Dark Beings aren't supposed to laugh but oh my God that's just, that's just…wow" she turned around and covered her face with her hands, her body shaking with silent laughter. Once she composed herself she whipped around and seized my drawing.

"This is for your own good. If Namine saw this she would probably skewer you with her sketch pencils."
Then my beautiful drawing erupted in black flames.

"No! Hey I worked hard on that" Fury dropped the drawing but it was a pile of ashes by the time it hit the floor. Moral of the story- don't let Fury give you constructive criticism on your artwork.

I sighed before heading towards Namine's room to explain that I had made her pancakes but Kairi ate them and I had drawn her a picture but Fury set it on fire. It's the thought that counts right?

*Namine*

I rolled over onto my side to check the time and I was greeted by Roxas ripping up a small note by my nightstand. My eyes widened in surprise and I was able to catch a quick glance at my appearance via the small mirror that was directly across the room from where I was. I looked fine, awesome.

"Roxas what are you doing?" I asked him, yawning. Roxas looked at me guiltily, like he had been caught doing something wrong. I really didn't know what he could've done though. Roxas started talking incredibly fast

"WellImadeyoupancakesbuttheywereKairi'sfavoriteandsheatethemandshewaslikemakethemagainandIwaslikeIcan'tjustmakethemagainbecauseIdon'thavetimeandthenFuryburntmypictureand-

"Roxas! I have no idea what you are saying. Please slow down."

"Well I spent all morning trying to make you something special but everything got ruined."

"Why were you trying to do that?"

"Because it's the fourth to last day of summer! We met exactly one year ago and I wanted to do something special for that! And now I feel bad for forgetting and I feel even worse for not getting you anything" I smiled to myself, Roxas was so sweet.

"Roxas"

"Yes?"

"The fourth to last day of summer is two months from now. You may want to re-check your calendar"

"Oh…."

*Riku*

I paced angrily in the bathroom, occasionally glancing up at the mirror, which always caused a pained expression to appear on my face. I checked the time-4:30. Sora wanted us all in the control room by 5:00 and I still hadn't figured out the solution to my issue. Lauren said it would take 48 hours or saltwater and I didn't have any access to saltwater at the moment. Of all the girls who could've roomed with me why did I get the single most annoying one with a she-devil other half?!

Because you're special!

Well I sure don't feel special

You look special! You're welcome by the way.

It won't come out!

It takes 48 hours or salt water! I've told you 78 times! Just come out here, you're going to make us both late for this meeting thing.

I grabbed my Organization XIII cloak and pulled the hood up before stepping out of the bathroom. Lauren had an iPod Touch sitting on the pillow next to her and was blasting out Don't Trust Me by 3oh!3. Where she got an iPod Touch I had no idea but I knew I was jealous.

"Are you trying to tell me something, considering the song title and all?" Lauren grinned and nodded

"You should know better than to go into the bathroom first when I don't put up a fight. I mean really, why the hell would I just let you waltz into the bathroom without at least making the feat a bit more difficult?" I glared at her from underneath the gentle fabric of the black hood.

"Let's just get going" I said with a sigh.

"Wait! I need to see my masterpiece!" And without a moments hesitation Lauren slid across the room via her sock covered feet and pulled off my hood. She looked at me with a mixture of awe and amusement. "I'm amazing. Just go head and admit because I know it's true!" she exclaimed and I angrily tugged my hood up over my head.

"For someone so small you cause a lot of issues" I told her, ruffling her sleek blond hair. She frowned at me like a little kid who was just sentenced to time-out. I headed out the doorway without another word and I heard her stomp along behind me. We both headed into the control, room to see that everyone was there, including Ms. Murder. She saw me and grinned openly, causing my arms to erupt in goose bumps and I did my best to suppress a shiver. She just sighed and shook her head.

You guys are going to leave me behind again! I'm so sad. You are all so mean.

What the hell are you talking about?

Atlantica. It's quite an interesting place. Not my kind of place though.

You don't even have opinions of things do you? You only like places where there are lots of things to kill. Demon

Fury stiffened at my response and glared at me

What did you just call me, Captain Seaweed?

Demon?

Why?

Because I freaking felt like it! Sheesh

Black lightning crackled around Fury but as she shifted to sit up on the controls the lightning slowly died off. Lauren glanced at me nervously but quickly looked away when she saw me looking at her. Whatever, those two are freaks. Sora cleared his throat and stood up. I rolled my eyes; yes you're very powerful and superior.

"I-

"Have and announcement to make" Lauren finished. Tidus and Wakka grinned at Sora's obvious failure. Of course while I was distracted by her sudden outburst she decided to tug my hood off once again. I slid down lower into my chair and glared at everyone, knowing they would understand that laughing would bring them a slow and painful death.

"Oh my God…Riku your hair" Kairi gasped. Yeah I know. Lauren killed my pride and joy. I'm probably going to wake up tomorrow as wimpy as Sora and shorter than Lauren, since she's in the process of taking away everything that matters to me.

You're so overdramatic

"Riku your hair is green!" Sora exclaimed, pointing at my seaweed green hair. Thus the nickname, Captain Seaweed. For that comment Sora you shall be the first to die, followed by Tidus. Oh yes blondie, I can hear you laughing.

I repeat: Overdramatic! But I will help you kill Tidus.

No. I'm going to kill him all by myself!

Even if I did you a favor?

Shaving my hair off doesn't count as a favor.

Fury responded by jamming the heel of her Goth boot into the auto-pilot button, which turned on the manual controls. The ship did a nosedive and everyone was thrown out of their chairs. We crash landed right into what I assumed was Atlantica.

*Lauren*

Something is seriously wrong here. Well a bunch of somethings:

Riku's hair is no longer green. And I spent so much time on that! I took the care to put green dye into his shampoo and everything!

We are in the ocean. Which explains Riku's no longer green hair

I'm not drowning. Even the most amazing people can't breathe underwater, including me.

Last but not least- I'm a mermaid. I hate Atlantica already.

Not much to say. This chapter was 7 pages which is about my average length. Just a warning I'm going to Chicago next weekend so I won't be able to update! I hope this chapter was entertaining and made you laugh! I shall update in two weeks. Review please!
