Vani's Pov:

Heading into my room I took my black Unversed Flood Darkstar skateboard from my closet. I headed out and rolled down lazily. As I was heading downhill I felt something bumpy go underneath.

"MEEEOOOWWW!"

Crap.

I stopped as I heard some rustling by a nearby neighbor's bush. "Sweet sacrifice!" That idiot popped out holding a Ten sign as if he were rating it. I sighed, "What the hell are you doing out of your cage, Ven?" He laughed, "Out for some fresh air my dear friend" I rolled my eyes as Terra ran out in his brown stripped pj's holding a paopu pillow. "MY CAT! What the French toast is wrong with you Vani?" He yelled as his black cat was hissing in pain on the floor.

I shrugged, it was a accident besides his cat has never really liked me. "Shame it's not dead" Ven shook his head solemnly. Terra headlocked him, "Go home Venny" He told him as Ven waved and disappeared. Terra looked at me and sighed, "Guess I have to take her to the vet" He picked his cat and headed back in.

I decided after that little episode to just head in for the night. When I entered into the kitchen I noticed a note for my mom and a notification from Sora's school. I read them.

Vani make sure to go to Big Brother & Sister Helper Day at Sora's school tomorrow! –Mom

It's that time again! Please come and help out your siblings at our annual Big Brother & Sister Helper Day! As a helper you can learn more about what your little sibling is learning at school .

There will be coloring time and cookies and milk! As a helper you can help out to pass snacks and read to the children. We encourage you to be here for this special occasion! All family members and friends are welcomed, so come together and get involved! –D.I. Preschool Teachers & Principal Starr

Great. It's that time again. Last year's event was a disaster… Children, glue, confetti, fire, and beetles don't mix well with me. I took the papers and headed up to bed.

"Gwet wup! Gwet wup! It's twime!" Someone was jumping up and down on top of my bed. "Sora…" I groaned as he jumped off and started patting my chest to get up. "It's twime!" He cheerfully patted my chest. I peeked through one eye to look at the time; we still had an hour.

When Sora wasn't looking I quickly picked him up with one hand and caged him into my chest. "Let's go back to sleep…" I yawned as he tried to wiggle out. "Nuuu! It's twime! Skool! Skool Vani!" He managed to get out of my hold, taking my hand he tried to pull me out.

Seeing as I wasn't going to be getting anymore sleep I decided to get up and get ready. Sora ran off into his room to dress himself up. By the time I was ready, I went to check on Sora. "Ready?" I asked him, He jumped off his bed. I chuckled at his shirt – it was on backwards. I sighed taking it off and putting on the right way on him.

Mom prepared his lunch for today, putting it into his backpack; We met up with Xion at the school. "Yo" I greeted yawning again. She giggled with her free hand as the other was holding Kairi's.

As we entered the classroom I heard some giggling coming from the young teachers, I turned and looked at them, they turned away. I shrugged it off and put Sora's stuff into his blue cubby.

"Are we the only helpers here?" I asked Xion as she slowly nodded. "Everyone else just ditched. You're not mad are you?" She asked shyly. I shook my head, "No… this is… just great"

XxxxxxxxxxxX

Xion's Pov:

I placed Kairi's things into her pink cubby and took Vani's hand leading him to the kids. He was reluctant to do so since he wasn't good with dealing with other children but I think he'll survive. The kids surrounded us asking many questions.

I sat down with Kairi on my lap, Vani grabbed a chair and turned it around and sat down; he crossed his arms and laid his head down. "Are you twu mwarried?" A little girl asked me. I blushed as Vani chuckled. "She wishes…" I heard him whisper. I lightly pinched his crossed arm. He looked up and stuck his tongue out at me. I stuck my mine out back at him, "No, we're just really good friends" I lied to the children smiling.

"Ooooooh" The little girls went. "What's kwissing wike?" Another girl asked as Kairi and the others giggled. I managed to hear Vani grumble, I laughed and thought of something to tell them from all those Disney movies I used to watch as a kid. "It's… magical! Like Cinderella and Prince Charming!"

"Wow. How rwomantic!" The girl sighed happily. The boys by Vani's side all looked at her in disgust. "Ewww! Cooties!" They closed one eye, scrunched up their noses, and stuck their tongues out as if it were yucky.

"Xion… you don't mind helping the children with snack time do you?" A teacher patted my shoulder lightly. "Oh! Of course not!" I smiled, Kairi got off of me allowing me to get up. The teacher smiled and looked over at Vani who was ko'd on the chair. "Is he alright?" She asked me. I laughed pointing a finger over to him, "He's fine" I assured her.

She nodded and told me that she and the other two teachers were heading to a meeting. I gave her two thumbs up assuring her that I could manage the kids on my own. "Snack time!" I clapped my hands as the kids ran to sit in their assigned chairs around the small oval shaped brown tables. I headed into the kitchen with Kairi holding on to my helper apron. I took out boxes of apple and orange juice out. Kairi tugged on the apron, I bend down to her level. "What's wrong Kai-Kai?" She giggled and shook her head pointing over to Vani. I looked to see some of the kids drawing on his sleeping face with markers.

I patted her head, she ran off to join the others at her table. I took a tray and placed the juices and animal cookies on it. I gave one juice box and five cookies to each child, I did the same thing to the empty spots where those said missing children were making Vani their new etch-n-sketch. I set the tray down and decided to get them before anything bad would happen.

Last year was a disaster… The children glued Vani's hair pretending it was hair gel, then the school's second graders had a small parade throwing confetti which got all over Vani's glued hair. If that wasn't bad, one new teacher ended up burning the cookies and there was a small fire that Vani had to extinguish and then the classroom pet beetle ended up escaping making the kids scream and run all over the place.

I crossed my arms over my chest and tapped my foot. "Ahem" I cleared my throat trying to give the kids a gentle yet stern look. They giggled dropping their makers and made a run for it to their tables. I shook my head and headed back to the kitchen to get a wet rag to clean Vani's face.

I bend down and started to gently rub off the markers. Boy was he a deep sleeper, he flinched a little. I paused for a moment hoping that he wouldn't wake up. I continued after taking the markers off. I decided to leave the unicorn drawn on his right cheek just to see his reaction.

"Mmm-hmm…" I hummed as I went to set the wet laundry out to dry. The kids ran outside to play hopscotch and with the little tikes red-yellow and police cars.

XxxxxxxxxxxX

Kairi's Pov:

Vani was bweing a swilly sweepy head so we left him in the room. Sora twook my hand and we rwan outside with Shion. She was doing the l-lan-lwaundry! "Kai-Kai, let's play! I wanna be thwe cwop!" Sora rwan to the cwop car. I giggled and got into the only pink and white cwar! I was lwucky it was my turn to use it! "Vroom! Vroom! I'm a cwop!" Sora bwummed into my cwar. "Hey!" I giggled and rwan away from him.

XxxxxxxxxxxX

Xion's Pov:

Some of the towels where done drying so I decided to take them off the clotheslines, folded them, and put them into my brown basket to take them inside. The kids were fine outside, entering inside I put the towels away. "What's this?" Vani got up pointing to the unicorn. I shut my mouth trying not to laugh. I shook my head and shrugged telling him that I had no clue what he was talking about.

He moved closer to me and eyed me; one hand was in his jean pocket. "What did I miss?" He asked, his face so close to mine. I bit my lower lip and continued to shake my head. "Hm?" Vani slid his free hand down my side and started to tickle me. "Bah- haha okay! Haha – I'll tell you! Hahaha!" I covered my mouth with both hands as he smirked.

He shook his head as I told him that the kids were drawing on him. He sighed, "It's unavoidable" I giggled and rung the bell for the kids to come in. Vani and I filled paper bowls with macaroni and set them on the kids table. Setting the glue on the table and many little decorations. We taught them how to make macaroni jewelry and faces. Vani helped Sora; Sora was sticking his tongue up trying to concentrate. Vani chuckled and ruffled his hair.

I smiled at them, I supervised the kids helping the girls with their macaroni necklaces. Once I finished helping the girls I went over and helped Kairi with her macaroni bracelets. "Shion, thwis is for ywou!" A little girl came up to me and gave me a macaroni necklace and put it on me. I awed, "Thanks sweetie! It's pretty" I smiled at her as she and Kairi giggled.

"Food looks great on you" Vani nodded smirking. "Jerk!" I stuck my tongue out. As we finished up craft time the teachers came back. I checked the clock on the wall, it was already time for the kids to come out. "Wow, where did the day go?" I whispered. Vani ruffled my hair as I grumbled, "Time flies when you're occupied"

I nodded and sighed sadly, I always look forward to this day and this year nothing bad happened! I was grateful for that. "Rweady?" Kairi asked tugging on my apron. I nodded and took off the apron and put it back into the teacher's closet. I picked Kairi up as we headed out with Vani who had Sora piggy backed on his back.

Vani's Pov:

Finally the day was over, well I fell asleep for most of the morning… but it wasn't as bad as last year's. "So I'll see you tomorrow" Xion smiled and kissed my cheek. The kids giggled as we waved and said our goodbyes. Unlocking the door, I entered into the kitchen and set Sora on the counter.

Mom left a sticky note on the fridge.

I left a box of lasagna in the fridge, Read the instructions and cook it for dinner. Make sure Sora drinks his milk! Xoxo –Mommy.

I opened the fridge and got it out, I read the instruction and unwrapped. I preheated the oven and waited leaning on the pantry's door. "Dwid you have fwun?" Sora asks as he kicks his legs back and forth. I nodded as he giggled. I smirked and heard the oven beeped. I opened it and stuffed the lasagna in. The door bell rang, I sighed going to see who it might be. "Stay here" I told Sora as he nodded as stayed seated.

Looking through the peephole I sighed again as I opened it and stepped out. "What the hell do you want?" I asked coldly as that man chuckled lightly, "I'm here for Sora of course" He pointed out like if it were that obvious.

"He is not your son. Get the hell out of here before you see the pissed off bad side of me" I warned him narrowing my eyes harshly at him as he held his hand against his chest. "Easy boy. Your mother isn't going to keep him for long. I deserve at least one of you!" He yelled as I crossed my arms.

"I've told you already. He doesn't need you" I grabbed his arm and shoved him away. Going back inside the house I double locked the door. I heard him banging against it yelling, "You will regret this!" He said as the banging stopped.

I rolled my eyes going back to the noise of the oven beeping. Sora looked up to me titling his head, "Who was thwat?" He asked as I shook my head, "No one"

We ate our dinner together after we watched a movie on tv I carried Sora to his bedroom. Changing him into his pj's I tucked him into his bed and closed the door gently. Going to sleep myself I just thought about how mad I was at him.

In the morning I got up and ready then went downstairs to prepare Sora's breakfast and lunch. He came down jumping, "Gwood morning!" He greeted as I handed him a blueberry pop-tart. I made sure that his clothes were put on the right way. Taking my house keys I locked the door and headed to Xion's house.

Xion's ape of a father opened the door. I didn't bother to greet him as Sora showed him a picture he drew, "Dwo ywu lwike it?" He asked sincerely as the beast smiled warmly at him. He nodded and took it, "Ywu can hwave it" Sora told him as Godzilla walked into the kitchen. Xion waved as she shut her door, she ran to go get Kairi.

She bend down and tried to smooth out the wrinkles of Kairi's skirt. Once we were ready to leave we walked to the kid's school and dropped them off. Inside our own school people were trying to hang up large posters and hand flyers everywhere for the big football game tonight.

I shook my head disapproving as Terra and some jocks threw a football back to back in the hall. Terra ran backwards to far and fell inside a trash can. That idiot.

After first we headed into Professor Vexen's class – he surprisingly taught us something. He showed us how to make soda rockets instead of just hand us a bunch of equations to write down. For once I could honestly say it was fun.

Xion's Pov:

When third period came by I was sad to say my goodbyes to Vani for poetry. Axel just wouldn't quit annoying me. He sat yet again in my seat at my desk that I even marked as my territory by placing a sticker on the seat. Professor Zexion didn't really care that I 'vandalized' his furniture since he said it was a way of expressing one's self. "Move" I ordered Axel as he took my wrist and pushed me on his lap, "What if I don't wanna?" He whispered into my ear.

I rolled my eyes and tried to get off him but he forcefully kept pulling me back. Before I could say something the bell rang with the class filling up. Professor Zexion pointed silently at Axel telling him with his eyes to go to his own seat.

I sighed relieved being saved for once. I decided to skip fourth to go and visit Ven. When I entered his room he changed the color scheme, the curtains were a beautiful gold and the table was a dark blue. The cobwebs had a shimmer to them and his skulls, old Victorian lanterns, and this full body skeleton hanging on a pole had some article of clothes on them. "Hello, Ven-Ven" I called as I sat down on a chair waiting for him to come out.

Instantly the scent of vanilla hit me as Ven came out wearing a black shirt, a black and white plaid shirt opened, and black jeans with white vans that had black laces. "Ventus?" I gasped as I saw him, "What happened to your cloak?" I asked as he sat down across from me.

"Mom took it to the drycleaners" He sighed somberly. "You look great" I smiled as he nodded and handed me a black rose that had white leaves. "You're too kind, my dear" He smiled as he took out a tray of new cookies shaped in broken hearts. "Broken hearts?" I questioned as he sighed and showed me a picture of Olette when she wore black and white. "My sweetest Olette, how my heart hurts! It burns, it churns, it's torn" He sighed again.

I awed. This must be his first crush, "Haven't you confessed yet?" I asked thoughtfully as he shook his head chuckling. "Oh heavens no. I'm far too shy to" He replied as I took a bite from a cookie as it oozed out strawberry filling. "I'm sure you can win her over with your charm" I assured him as he sighed. "I suppose I'll try to at the football game. I have just the plan!" He said determined as he stood up and kissed Neo's skull.

I gave him a thumbs up giggling. When the bell rang I said my farewell to him and headed to the cafeteria. Grabbing a slice of pizza and bottled water I headed to our usual spot seeing Terra, Vani, and Roxas already there. "Hey where's Aqua and Namine?" I asked as I sat down. Roxas shrugged pointing with a pencil over to the cheerleaders that were practicing. Terra pointed over to the restroom. "Oh" I said as I ate my pizza.

Aqua came back handing Roxas her notebook, "I wrote some new lyrics! I just don't know how to flow the drums into it" She said a little troubled as Roxas took the notebook and read the lyrics. He tapped his pencil on the table as he formed a beat in his mind.

"So you guys coming to the football game tonight?" Terra asked as he roughly patted Vani's back. Vani choked and spit his water out, glaring at Terra he nodded, "Unfortunately Xion and I have to. Fish mackerel loving Xem is giving out extra credit to everyone that goes" He rolled his eyes as I smiled. "It might be fun" I tried to lighten the mood.

The bell rang, Vani took my hand as we headed into Home Ec. Professor Xemnas wrote on the board that we would bake a cake today… Just my luck.

Vani took a simple round shaped pan and a Moist Supreme – Devil's Food cake mix. "Do you need help?" I asked hoping he would let me help out. Sure I burn everything but I'm still useful! In other things not involving a oven… Heheh.

Vani handed me the tubes of icing, I titled my head confused. He smirked, "Wait until I'm done. I'll let you go crazy decorating" He said patting my head like a little girl. I grumbled snatching them and sitting down just waiting. I heard giggling coming from the side as I turned my head to see Olette and Ven playing with the icing.

"Purple looks great on you" Olette giggled as she dabbed a little bit of the purple icing onto Ven's nose. He smiled and dabbed black on her cheek. "Dark colors, suit you my dear" He said as they decorated their cooled off cake.

I got up just going to see real quick what they were drawing on the cake. Passing them I glanced over and saw a graveyard in white icing with two stick figures carrying a picnic basket and blanket; cute...

I ripped off a paper towel from the roll on the wall and walked back to Vani as he waited for the cake to cool off on the cooling rack.

Once it cooled off Vani let me do whatever I wanted with the cake. I started off in white icing all around then went over it with blue icing gel to give it an ocean's waves effect. After I used green, brown, and yellow icing to make a paopu tree and Destiny Island. I smiled at my work of art as I put it into the fridge to cool more.

After school Vani and I left to go pick up Sora and Kairi to drop them off with my grandma since we would be staying late at school for the football game. Kairi and Sora walked happily holding our hands as they licked their sea salt ice creams that the teacher gave them. Once dropping them off Vani and I walked over to Terra's house.

Vani's Pov:

Ringing the doorbell Terra's dad opened the door. "Ah, hello there Vanitas and Xion" He greeted warmly. I nodded, "Hey, Eraqus" I greeted as Terra came down the stairs. "Mi amigos!" He laughed deeply as Eraqus rolled his eyes chuckling walking back into the living room.

I looked down seeing Terra's cat wearing a neck and leg brace. It growled at me as Terra picked the cat and placed it on the couch. "She's still mad at you, ya know" He said chuckling as I rolled my eyes. It's not entirely my fault.

"Bye dad!" Terra yelled as he shut the door. "Ready for the game? D.I. Shadows vs. Twilight Town's Warriors! It's gonna be awesome!" He air fisted and clapped his hands. I shook my head, leave it to Terra to get excited for everyone.

Once we got back to school grounds we headed to the football field where you could hear people going off cheering and the cheerleaders pumping up the excitement. We passed by Ven who still didn't have his cloak back. He had his own booth with chickens hanging from their necks. I walked up to him, "What's this?" I asked as he smiled widely, "My fried chicken and corn dogs booth of course!" He announced as he handed me a corn dog that had two 'X' marks giving it a dead face. I shook my hand not wanting it so Xion took it instead.

"Why are there chickens hanging?" Xion asked as Ven pointed to the poor poultry. "I like to keep my food fresh! I chopped them and deep fry them!" He said giving us a thumbs up showing us the deep fryers in the back and sharp blood stained butcher knife. Terra leaned over the counter and ruffled Ven's hair, "That's my Venny!" He laughed as Ven nodded happily handing him a cup of his 'blood' kool-aid.

We decided to sit in the middle row in the middle bleachers next to Aqua and Roxas. They were discussing some new lyrics when Roxas got up putting the sides of his hands to his mouth and yelled. "Yo, Namine!" He called as some girls on the squad tapped Namine's shoulder to look up. "Good luck!" He yelled as Namine nodded and winked at him.

He winked back and sat down going back to the lyrics. "I'll be back" Xion whispered into my ear as she walked down. I pulled my black hoodie over my eyes and crossed my arms, "Wake me when it's over" I told Terra as he grabbed my arm and shook me, "D'aww don't go to sleep! This is gonna be awesome! I can feel it!" He said as I closed my eyes, "You said that last time when we were against Hollow Bastion's Beasts. The only awesome thing that happened was when they had technical difficulties during the whole game" I told him chuckling at that memory. The announcer's voice in the speaker kept fading in and out and the score board kept spelling out messages.

XxxxxxxxxxxX

Axel's Pov:

I leaned against the lockers with my hands in my pockets just waiting for the moment when Xion would enter. Demyx sat next to me on the floor, "You sure you'll be able to convince her?" He asked like he wasn't sure about my plan. I kicked him on the side, "Don't be stupid! We went over the plan five times already, got it memorized?" I told him as I watched students come in and out of the hall.

He sighed, "Whatever you say"

I grinned determined, "She will be mine"

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Haha interesting story that I just remembered. Last month when I went to Anime Expo [July 1-4th] down in Los Angeles, CA – I was walking through the Artist Hall determined to buy anything KH related when my cousin pointed at a booth.

They had BBS fanart of Terra, Aqua, Ven and Vanitas wearing mafia outfits. But the funny thing is that Vani's face was covered with a neon orange sticky note with a funny face that had a mustache. We peeked asking for permission, peeling the sticky note we saw Vani's normal face. Hooray!

Ah~ the sticky note was a spoiler warning xD

And they also sold Sea Salt ice cream shaped sea salt chocolate bars. I tell ya – genius and deliciously salty yet sweet!

Now I understand why Roxas only eats that. lawl. xDDD
