Welcome back!

Disclaimers: Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and anything else is not mine.

The only thing I can take credit for is the OC's. If any appear, that is.

ENNNNJOOOOOOOY!

PS: Yes, I love using puns. Especially KH puns.

Vexen's Laboratory

Vexen, in both eagerness to solve this amusing puzzle and in a rare bout of somewhat kindness, was working very hard to create a potion to restore Namine's memories.

Of course, he had no idea what to do since Namine was the one who usually had the job of fixing other peoples' memories but he was willing to give it his best shot.

After all, Namine was one of the few decent people in the Castle.

"Hmm…. Forget me not's?" He wonders to himself, looking curiously at the bundle of delicate azure blossoms. He picks one up and examines it closely.

He suddenly hears a loud crashing noise as Namine and Xion skid into one of his cabinets.

"WHAT'S HIS NAME?" Xion shouts over to Namine.

"VEXEN!" Namine shouts back.

Vexen just stares as Xion stomps forward with a slightly bent index card.

"Sign here, please." She says as she holds out a pen.

Vexen signs, just to get the two out of his hair.

Xion nods, hands him the card and picks up his Frozen Pride shield.

"Thank you!"

The duo runs off.

"…. WHAT THE FREEZING HELL WAS THAT?"

Namine's Room

"… You know, I'm starting to have second thoughts about Xion leading Namine around the Castle." Roxas admits as Xion and Namine run through the room, dumping several of the Organization members' weapons on the bed and running out again.

".. What are you two, kleptomaniacs? Get back here!" Axel snarls as he goes after them and forcibly drags them into the room.

"Aw… but I've always wanted to play with these, Axel!" Xion complains as Axel wrenches away Xigbar's twin Arrow Guns from her hands and dumps them on the bed.

Namine looks around nervously at Roxas and Demyx who were still just relaxing on her bed.

Demyx looked like he was five seconds from falling asleep on one of her many pillows and Roxas was punching the soft bedspread in confusion as if he couldn't figure out why it was so comfortable.

"Alright… new plan. We need to slowly … and not by stealing, remind Namine of everyone's names." Axel looks pointedly at Xion who was happily pointing Xigbar's thankfully unloaded Sharpshooters up at the ceiling and shouting gun shots noises.

Namine nods agreeingly, setting down Marluxia's Graceful Dahlia down on the floor.

For some reason, the bright pink scythe made her shiver… as if she had horrible, horrible memories of the cartoonish weapon.

As if she had been threatened with it….

"Namine?" Roxas asks but she just shakes her head in an attempt to shake off the hazy memory.

Whatever it was, she didn't want to know.

"I gots me an idea!" Demyx says suddenly, sitting up abruptly and knocking off at least half of the dainty lacy pillows from the bed from his eagerness.

"NO." Everyone, except Namine who had no idea why they were vetoing Demyx's idea, retorts in unison without even glancing at the hydromaniac.

Demyx immediately goes back to pouting inside of Namine's covers, glaring out at the group from behind a fluffy pillow.

"How about we take Namine on a tour? Then we tell her about stuff we've done there and maybe that'll help her remember." Roxas suggests halfheartedly, shrugging since he didn't have any ideas.

"Hey… not bad!" Axel comments eagerly.

"I'm in!" Xion says as she flips the Sharpshooter over to glare inside of the barrel where the arrows should have been coming out.

"…. It's not as good as my idea." Demyx mutters darkly from inside his cocoon of pillows and covers.

"What's your idea, Demyx?" Namine asks politely.

"….. Okay, let's just go with the tour idea." Demyx says with an embarrassed smile.

"You forgot it, didn't you?" Axel says in an icy voice. Demyx just throws the covers off of the bed and stands up, Arpeggio in hand.

"Let's go!" He chants out loudly, starting to strum random songs on his sitar as he leads Namine and Xion out of the room.

"He forgot." Roxas and Axel say in unison, getting up from their seats on the bed and the floor, respectively, to go follow the Melodious Nocturne.

Larxene's Room

BAM!

"What the hell?" Larxene shouts, sitting up on her bed as Namine, Roxas, Axel, Demyx, and Xion all barge into her room via the now broken down door.

"This is Laaaaa~rxeeeeene's room!" Demyx sings happily as Namine looks around in confusion.

"Um… the girl who threw me into a closet?" She asks in mild fear, instantly recoiling from the room.

"Yeah… Everyone knows she's totally into me… Ain't that right, Larxy!" Axel teases with a mocking grin.

Larxene glares at them all furiously as she reaches for her pouch of knives that was lying on top of her chest of drawers.

"Wait a second. Has Namine ever even come in here?" Roxas asks nervously, eyeing the pouch with fear.

The group all stares at him for a second before bolting out the door.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRATS!" Larxene howls as a huge current of electricity rapidly surrounds her hand as the Foudres in her hand start sparking.

Gray Room

"Okay…. Not gonna bother with her again." Axel gasps out as he collapses onto a couch, panting and wheezing as he struggles to catch his breathe from the mile or so run.

"So… how's it going?" Sora asks from one of the other couches, strumming his Kingdom Key as if it was a guitar.

Demyx glares at him as if he had gotten offended before strumming his own Sitar defiantly.

Riku yawns sleepily from the floor, curled up by Kairi with a cushion from one of the couches.

"Did Namine remember anything?" Kairi asks in concern.

"With a bit of kleptomania and Larxene threatening our lives…again, I think it's safe to say that we're now no closer to getting Namine's memories back." Roxas informs him with a wince.

Namine shakes her head sadly.

She felt completely useless now… especially since everyone was trying so hard to help her remember.

Sora sits up and holds out his backpack.

Riku stands up, stretching lazily as he watches Sora root around in his bag with a big grin on his face.

"Let me and Riku try!" Sora says eagerly as he pulls out a small keychain from one of the pockets of the battered red backpack and holds it out to Namine.

"… A hamster?" Namine asks curiously as she holds up the fuzzy little keychain out for everyone to see.

"Nope, it's a gerbil." Sora tells her in disappointment.

Instantly, Riku skids behind the couch with a terrified squeak, holding his arms over his head as if he was afraid that the keychain would attack him.

Roxas laughs hysterically, fully enjoying the perks of Riku's strange phobia.

"Well, that didn't work. Sorry Tina…" Sora says as he shoves the fuzzy toy back into his backpack and pulls out a book.

"IS IT GONE?" Riku demands in a high pitched squeak from behind the couch.

"Yes, it's gone, Riku." Kairi informs him, shaking her head in embarrassment. He gets up and stands by Axel with a relieved smile.

"So what's the book for, Sora? You don't seem like the readin' type to me." Axel says curiously.

Sora smiles and motions Namine to come forward.

"Hold Roxas and Xion back for me." He requests as Namine sits next to him on the couch.

Riku grabs Roxas by his hood and hangs onto Roxas's shoulders, effectively stopping him from moving. Axel grabs Xion around the waist and hangs on tightly.

In a few seconds, everyone saw just why Sora had made his bizarre request.

Sora slams the thick hardcover book right into Namine's forehead with all of his strength.

"OWW!"Namine yelps.

"YOU SON OF A-!" Roxas shouts, struggling violently with Riku to attack Sora.

"DON'T YOU DO THAT AGAIN, DADDY!" Xion snarls as she struggles to get out of Axel's tight grip.

"Did you remember anything?" Sora asks.

Namine winces and then her eyes suddenly brighten.

"Yes…. I… used to live in… a Castle…" She mutters unfocusedly, her face confused.

"It's working! Hit her again!" Demyx shouts eagerly.

Smack!

Namine falls over, this time completely unconscious.

"…. Okay, no one hit her anymore." Axel says in a shocked voice. He accidentally lets go of Xion who immediately smacks Sora into a wall before casting a Healing spell over the unconscious blonde.

Riku sighs.

"Looks like it's my turn." He says as he holds up a blue DS and a GameBoy Advance game cartridge.

The game's title, embellished proudly on the gray and white sticker that showed its name, says "Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories."
