Chapter 45: Lazy Friendship

Everything was normal once again on The World That Never Was. Due to Xion recent actions, she now had to do her missions with someone, usually Xigbar. The girl was actually happy that Xemnas chose Xigbar to be her partner. Of all the members from Organization XIII, Xigbar was the only one she respected on the Organization, besides Roxas and Axel of course.

She didn't cared he called her "Poppet", actually she saw it as a way to show his…affection, maybe? He usually was nice with her and he always respected her. Xion was very grateful for these, especially because he knew all the way what she really was, and yet he never said anything that could offend her or make her feel bad.

A week later after Xion's coming back, the girl decided to celebrate a sleepover in her room with her best friend and her boyfriend, Axel and Roxas respectively celebrating a day off they would have the next day, so they could play videogames, tell stories and jokes like they were so used to.

It was 2:30 AM, the girl's room was a complete disorder. There were two empty boxes of pizza on the floor, many bags of snacks and cookies also. On the bed which was also a disorder, Xion and Axel were playing Mario Kart while Roxas was watching them while eating a slice of pizza.

-Come on…just a little more. –Axel muttered as he was getting closer to the finish line and to victory. Xion smirked getting closer to him.

-A red shell. It would be a shame…if someone decided to use it, huh Axel. –Xion announced making Axel fear for his most obvious chance on beating the girl. Axel gulped as Xion used her red shell and was getting closer and closer to Axel.

-NOOOOO! –the pyro shouted angrily as he was hit by the red shell in front of the finish line and Xion passed through it. Axel glared at the girl who was doing a victory dance with Roxas while jumping on her bed.

-When will you learn, Axel? Cute girls never lose. –the girl said sitting on her bed again while winking an eye to the pyro.

-How is this possible? Roxas, you saw it! It was practically impossible for her to win, how did she get that red shell? Why does she never lose? –Axel asked dramatically, the blonde kid simply shrugged

-Because…cute girls never lose?

-Why I'm asking you anyway? –Axel said as Xion was kissing Roxas cheek.

-Hey, I'm sick of video games. Let's do something else. –Xion suggested turning to Axel, the boy raised his eyebrows in surprise

-Something else? Xion, it's late. Why don't we go to sleep? –Axel suggested back, the girl stared a few seconds at the clock on her table before answering.

-But we don't have to be up early tomorrow. We can stay up all night if we want!

-But Xion…I want to sleep also. I have a tough day, you know? –Roxas added, the girl glared at Roxas when she listened this

-It's a sleepover Roxas. That means we don't have to sleep tonight! –Xion explained crossing her arms, the boy stared at her for a minute and then answered

-Then what are you doing on your nightdress? –Roxas said staring at the long black nightdress the girl was wearing.

-Yeah, why are we on pajamas if we're not going to sleep? –Axel added

-Look, it's my sleepover and I decide what to do. If you want to go to sleep, the door is over there. –Xion said pointing at the door and turning her head away from the boys. Roxas and Axel stared at each other for a moment, but it was Axel who acted

-Well, see ya later then! –Axel said getting in his feet. The girl gasped at this and threw herself into Axel's feet so that he couldn't go away.

-I was kidding, Axel, I was kidding!

-Xion! –Axel said irritated as Roxas was approaching his ear.

-Hey, I know how we can get to sleep without making her feel bad… -Roxas whispered on his ear, the pyro stared seriously at the blonde

-How?

A few minutes later, Roxas, Axel and Xion were lying on the bed, talking about their future. Axel said he wanted to have an easy life, without dealing with complications once he got a heart of his own. Roxas on the other side, as he had expressed several times, he just wanted to be with Axel and Xion, so that they could hang out forever.

-So…what are you going to do, Xion? –Roxas asked turning to the girl. Xion just smiled, not staring at any of them.

-Well, I'm not sure I can get a heart. You know, being a replica and all…but I do have a dream. –the girl said staring at the ceiling

-What is it? –Axel asked

-I…I want to…have a family. –the girl said blushing a little. Roxas and Axel stared at each other and then at the girl again.

-A family? –Roxas asked intrigued

-Yeah. You know, having a nice handsome husband, and having some nice and cute children to love with all my being. I really hope I can achieve that, but I'm not sure I can. –the girl explained sadly.

-Don't worry, Xion. You'll be able to. After all, you have a complete girl's anatomy, right? If you know what I mean. –Axel said placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.

-I guess… -the girl shrugged

-And… a nice husband and children, huh? I think Roxas have a lot of work to do, huh? –Axel teased making the girl blush madly. The reaction of the girl made Axel laugh while Roxas just stared at them with a smile on his face.

-Well…that depends if Roxas wants me to be his… wife. –Xion said completely red as a tomato. She wanted to stare at Roxas's eyes, but she couldn't, she was way too nervous.

-Of course I want. I'll be happy to be your beloved husband. –Roxas said happily making the girl smile also. Axel smiled when he heard the sincerity on Roxas's words.

-And…you'll be the father of my children…? –the girl said still red as a tomato. Roxas nodded in agreement making the girl smile once again.

-Of course, but…I have no idea how we're going to do that. I heard babies come from space or something like that. –Roxas shrugged innocently making Axel laugh, but was ignored.

-Eh? Oh, I heard they grow from soil or something like that. It doesn't matter, there is still time before we think in that, right? –Xion asked with a smile, Roxas nodded in agreement as he hold the girl's hand.

They stayed in silence lying on the bed for a few moments. Slumber was starting to take them over. Sometimes in the middle of silence and darkness, one of them made a joke making them laugh again. At this time, even the silliest joke was funny for them.

-Hey Xion… -Axel whispered quietly getting closer to the girl

-What is it?

-I know you're a smart girl, but answer me this. You really don't know where do babies come from? –Axel asked not believing what Xion said some minutes ago. The girl giggled silently at the question.

-Of course I know, but one thing I love from Roxas is how innocent he can be. I mean, most of the boys aren't like him. Most of them are stupid and perverted.

-Whoa! And since when you know how other boys are?

-I learned a lot of things when I escaped, Axel. You wouldn't believe the ugly things some guys on Hollow Bastion told me.

-Well, you're right. Most boys are that way.

-Yeah, but you two are not that way. Actually, any guy from the Organization seems to be like that. How is it that people with hearts sometimes act like if they didn't have a heart to feel with? Those are the things that make me wonder if we really need a heart… -Xion said while remembering some of the experiences and things she saw while she was away.

-Well, with or without a heart: People can choose to be evil or not. What I just don't understand is why most of the people decide to be bad. I'm tired Xion, I need to sleep. –Axel said giving his back to the girl and closing his eyes.

-Okay. Good nights, Axel.

-Nights.

The hours passed, and passed and passed. It was 1:00 PM, and the trio was still asleep. Somehow starting to feel worried, Saix sent Demyx into everyone's room to see what was wrong with them. Demyx started to worry also when he noticed Roxas and Axel weren't on their rooms, and their beds were neat.

Thinking that the trio had vanished from existence or something, Demyx went running into Xion's room knowing that she couldn't teleport because of her previous actions. The blonde tried to open the door desperately, but it was locked. He then started knocking it loudly expecting someone to open it.

-Oh no, oh no! What should I do? –Demyx said worriedly until the door in front of him opened harshly

-WHAT!? –Xion shouted irritated. Demyx yelled happily as he hugged the girl waking up Roxas and Axel because of the noise.

-Oh Xion! It's terrible, Roxas and Axel has vanished from existence! They're dead! DEAD! –Demyx shouted as he continued hugging the girl who was angrily trying to push Demyx away

-What are you talking about? Release me!

-Umm Demyx, we're over here. –Axel said raising his hand

-What is going on here? And Number XIV…what… happened to you? –Saix asked noticing Xion's appearance. Unusually for the girl, she had dried saliva on her face and her hair was a complete mess, not to mention she had a face like if she was ready to kill someone, or maybe she was.

-What do you mean with…what happened to me?

-I think he means your appearance, Xion. –Demyx said pointing her

-WHAT!? YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A GIRL WITHOUT MAKE UP? OR WITHOUT BRUSHING HER HAIR? GET OUT OF MY ROOM, NOW! –the girl shouted angrily pointing at the door scaring Demyx and surprisingly Saix too which left the room as soon as they could.

-Way to go, Xion. –Axel laughed. The girl stared at the two boys angrily.

-Roxas, I'm hungry. Go and buy some pizza. –Xion ordered

-What? Why me?

-I said: Go and buy pizza. –the girl said again starting to get even angrier than before.

-Yes, dear. –Roxas said opening a dark corridor, but Axel stopped him.

-Wait, make it two pizzas better. –Axel said pushing Roxas into the dark corridor and closing it before he could reply.

After a short shower, Xion stood out of the bathroom being the adorable cute girl she was. While waiting for Roxas, she challenged Axel to another race of Mario Kart. About an hour later, Roxas came back with two boxes of pizza being accompanied by Izumi.

-Hey Izumi, how you've been? –Xion greeted giving the girl a hug

-Hi, Xion! It's weird; Roxas said you were on a bad mood.

-Bad mood? Of course not, I'm fine. –Xion said giving a hug and a kiss on the cheek to Roxas which just stare seriously at her.

-Ummm….who is your friend? –Axel said pointing at Izumi. The girl smiled as she offered her little hand at Axel.

-Hi, you must be Axel. My name is Izumi, nice to meet you. –the girl said with a smile. Axel raised his eyebrows staring at her

-And…you're a normal girl?

-Yeah. I'm not a Nobody like you. –the girl replied with a smile. Axel gasped in surprise when he listened the girl's voice and turned madly at Roxas and Xion.

-Really? Let me see if I get this straight. You two befriend any stranger and you tell them about us? You know, you tell them we're all Nobodies and that we capture hearts and al of that? –Axel said closing the door and staring at Roxas and Xion which started to laugh nervously.

-Izumi is…not a stranger, Axel. –Xion started

-Yeah. She's a good friend. She helped me search for Xion.

-AND? You can't go and tell what ever person you consider a "friend" about us! I think that was obvious! What is wrong with you? And what's worse, bringing her into our world, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU ROXAS? –Axel shouted obviously pretty angry.

-I'm sorry Mr. Axel… I didn't thought it could be a problem. –the girl apologized staring directly at Axel's eyes. Axel saw the little girl closer, and couldn't get mad with her, she was just totally cute.

-It's not your fault little girl. It's their fault. –Axel said pointing angrily at Roxas and Xion again. Xion started to walk getting close to Axel.

-I'm sorry Axel. I didn't thought it could be a problem. –Xion apologized staring at Axel's eyes just like Izumi had done earlier. Unfortunately for her, her cuteness wasn't going to save her from this one.

-Stop it, Xion. That's not working for you. –Axel said glaring at the girl. When Xion looked at Axel's glare, she understood how angry he was and decided to stop. Roxas sighed and got next to Xion.

-We're sorry Axel. We really didn't thought it could be a problem. But don't worry; she's not going to tell anyone, right Izumi? –Roxas said as Izumi was shaking her head. Axel sighed and decided it had no point on scolding them now.

-All right, I guess there's nothing we can do, now. But be sure not to tell anyone else. We are a secret Organization! And make sure no one here finds out about this, understood? –Axel asked making Xion immediately nod in agreement.

On the other side, Roxas couldn't nod since he remembered he also told Kairi about his life on the Organization. Axel noticed Roxas was a little nervous and stared directly at him waiting for his answer, but noticing he wasn't answering he asked again.

-Is there something you want to share, Roxas? –Axel asked raising an eyebrow. Xion and Izumi stared at him waiting for his answer. The boy shook his head trying to keep away all of his crazy thoughts and answered.

-Nope. I Understand, Axel. I'm sorry.
