Hi. The wonderful narrator here… and, I know the fangirls of the universe love me, because I have awoken Axel's consciousness so that he can talk to us in dreams, too. Don't you love me?

For the hundredth time today, WHY THE HELL AM I HERE?

Now, now, potty mouth, I can't give that away for those who are enjoying the story. All in due time, all in due time. Besides, now that everyone's free, Xemnas will hopefully begin to remember…

Damn, I shouldn't have told you that!

"Potty mouth!" Heh.

Shut up.

"GET HIM!"

Roxas screamed like a sissy girl when Demyx, Xaldin, Xigbar, and, for some reason, Sora, all leapt for him. Scrambling for the door, he was piled on before he could even stand. Demyx was laughing insanely, like a hyena, Xigbar was also very amused, and Xaldin just smirked as they pinned the younger nobody.

"What're you guys doing?" Roxas demanded as they got up, except for Sora, who knelt beside him. Groaning, Roxas came to his knees.

"Welcoming you back to the organization!" Demyx grinned, giving him a thumbs up.

"And what about you?" Roxas glared at Sora. He just shrugged nonchalantly. Groaning, Roxas collapsed into a chair.

"So, why were the others just throwing you guys in earlier?" Xigbar asked, sitting back down on the computer desk. Roxas sighed contently. He had all of them at his attention, as easy as that. Everyone was silent, looking to him.

"I'm – actually, we're – here to tell you what's going on." Sora chuckled sheepishly as Roxas glared at him half-heartedly. Xigbar chuckled.

"I was hoping you'd say that."

So Roxas and Sora explained the whole "heart-pieces" thing, that Kairi could control them (due to the necklaces around their necks. The necklaces had pendants in the shape of the nobody symbol, in pure white.), ("What's an Osawari?" Sora had complained.), that Axel was with some weird sorceress, and that they were all now really "existing". They just had to master emotions now. They had "baby hearts"; it was time to let them grow.

Afterwards, all was silent for a few seconds. Every one of the organization members, even Zexion and Larxene, were gaping at Roxas and Sora, who shared glances of anxiousness. Then, all of a sudden, every single one "wowed" at the same time, which was quite amusing.

Roxas chuckled, and Sora just grinned.

Demyx looked from the group to Sora, and then back.

"Well, now that all the "let's get kingdom hearts" thing is in the past, I saw we formally introduce Sora into the organization!" Demyx cheered. Xaldin shook his head groaning.

"Not again…" He moaned. "Last time we did that…"

"Now, now…" Xigbar intervened, getting off the desk and motioning around the room. "Sora deserves a proper welcome, don't you all agree?" Other members murmured agreement with amused tones of voice, while Luxord cheered "I concur!" Sora gulped.

'These guys have got to be drunk to not even care what Xemnas thinks of this.' Roxas spoke in Sora's mind. He was shocked for a second, but then relaxed, since it did make sense that he could do that.

'Yeah. But why are they being nice to me?' Sora looked to Roxas.

'They're drunk; they're happy; they have all they could ever wish for; they don't have anything against you for the moment.' Roxas shrugged, amused.

"Don't you agree, Roxas?" Xigbar turned to him. "Youngest of the org. and the one that knows Sora best. What'd you think?" Roxas looked at Sora quizzically, with a smug grin, and then back to Xigbar. With a nod, it was decided.

"Prepare the keg!"

"YOU CANNOT GIVE A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD A KEG STAND!" Leon roared minutes later. Kairi had fetched him as soon as she had heard what they were going to do.

Luxord sighed and said. "Bets are off." Xigbar shrugged and put the keg back into a void of darkness. By now, the excitement was over, and everyone was tired; finally.

Xigbar leaned down to Sora and whispered in his ear. "It wasn't real beer. But next time, we'll have the old Lion walk by when your chugging grape juice. How's that?" Sora grinned and nodded.

"Definitely!"

A few minutes later, and Kairi was resting in Yuffie and Aerith's bedrooms. Namine was drawing beside her, looking outside the window to the stars. As late as it was, Kairi wasn't even drowsy.

With a sigh, she looked at Namine.

"Drawing the stars?" She asked imploringly. Namine lightly shook her head, showing the notebook to Kairi.

She was drawing Axel.

"Oh." Kairi murmured quietly, leaning back in her chair.

Sora yawned and collapsed onto the bed sleepily. Roxas laughed and walked past him, sitting by the window. Across the way was the girls room, and Roxas could see Kairi and Namine talking.

"I never thought it would turn out this way." Sora murmured. Through the wall, Luxord's laughing could be heard under Demyx's screeches. It sound like someone was getting hit by something, and then Xigbar's voice came: "Free for all!" Roxas chuckled.

"I know what you mean. For now, the adventure is over. And next time, if the Heartless make a comeback, we'll have more allies." Roxas stated. Sora nodded, with another yawn.

With a sigh, Roxas collapsed onto the chair by the window.

"You miss him, don't you?" Sora stated, turning to look at him. Roxas looked at his other from the corner of his eye and shrugged.

"Who?" Roxas knew very well who, but was acting coy. Sora glared playfully.

"Axel." He whispered. With a sigh, Roxas nodded, placing his cheek against his fist and leaning on the window.

"With every passing moment."

"They seem docile." Leon muttered, leaning against the computer. Cid was now moaning, kneeling next to his computer as he tried to fix it. For the moment, it just kept repeating "Does not compute" with a red box blinking on the screen.

Yuffie was under the table, picking up spare beer bottles with annoyance.

"What about Xemnas?" Aerith muttered. "The others seem to have left the past behind them, but he has yet to have done anything but stare into the distance." She bagged a trashcan and placed the full bag by the door with the others. With a flick of his wand, Merlin sent them away.

"Well, I believe this is all a bunch of riff raff!" The old wizard muttered angrily. Straightening his hat, he bent down and picked up a few discarded magazines. With a wince of disgust, he held them out to Cid.

"I believe this rubbish is yours." He spoke, grimacing at the Playboy bunnies on the front. Cid didn't notice Merlin was speaking to him. He was too busy yelling at the wrench in his hand between sobs. With a sigh, Merlin made the magazines disappear.

"He'll never miss them." Merlin said. Leon chuckled, arms crossed.

"Xemnas hasn't proven his trustworthy, but he hasn't done anything bad yet, either." Yuffie stated, setting the empty beer bottles in the recycling bin. "And since Kairi can control them, we can rest easy. As long as he doesn't do anything and just keeps "staring out into the distance", I have no problem." She finished, throwing her hands in the air.

Leon shrugged. "We'll keep an eye on him. And we need to hide them all tomorrow. Remember? We have a plethora of guests." Aerith gasped happily, nodding, and then counted on her fingers.

"The King, Donald, and Goofy from Disney Castle, and Cloud and Tifa from Obsidian (I made that up), and…" She looked to the ceiling pondering.

"And Auron. From Olympus Coliseum." Leon finished. "Sora and the others befriended him, and he was offered a place to stay here by them. It seems he use to know those whatyamicallits."

"Yuna and them?" Yuffie cheered, sitting on the table and swinging her legs. "I love those girls!" Leon nodded.

"It seems Auron died helping Yuna, in fulfilling a promise he made to Yuna's father, and he was resurrected by the Lord of the Dead." Leon stood away from the computer and shrugged. "They turned into those little… "things" with some sort of spell, and became treasure hunters."

The door to the room opened, and then shut again quietly. So quietly, the only one in the room who realized that someone had come in was Leon.

"Namine?" He stated. Merlin, who had been in front of the door, jumped when Namine walked by him. Straightening his hat again, he regained his composer.

"What's wrong, Namine?" Yuffie asked, curious. Namine looked them all over before beginning.

"Roxas. Kairi. And Sora. And some of the others as well. They all miss him." She sighed, pausing for a moment. "I do as well." Leon nodded, knowing quite well who she spoke of.

"Axel." Namine nodded.

"I want to talk to the woman who brought them back. I want to know why she kept Axel. Somehow, I must speak to her." Namine finished, determined.

Ok, ok, all of you guys out there know that I, the great and all-powerful being known as "woman", am listening to the peoples down there with Axel.

Sup.

I've decided it's time I shed some light on some things. Like the whole Axel situation.

Yeah. You should tell some people why you kept me. Like me. Moron.

Shut up. Anyway, I am now going to make a cameo appearance! Yay! Axel won't, though. Not yet.

You suck.

You suck more.

"I agree." Yuffie nodded. Namine smiled, and looked over to Cid. He was still crying over his computer. Walking up to him, Namine bent down next to him.

"Maybe you should reconnect that?" She asked, pointing to a plug coming from the keyboard. It wasn't connected to the computer anymore. Cid looked at it, gaping, and then back to Namine.

"YOU ROCK!" He shouted, hugging her.

"Ahh! Pedophile! Die!" Yuffie yelled, hitting Cid upside the head. He groaned, stood, and began a shouting match with the black haired ninja. Giggling, Namine bent under the computer, reconnected the keyboard, and then stood. The computer had stopped flashing, and had gone back to normal. Of course, that didn't shut Cid and Yuffie up.

Namine shook her head, laughing, as she watched the two argue. Leon held his head in one hand, smirking. Aerith and Merlin sighed unanimously.

Suddenly, something came up on the computer. It was a pop up, and said something on it and beneath the words was an "Ok" button, and a "Cancel" button. Namine turned slightly to read it, and when Leon noticed what she was doing, he turned as well.

"Hi, I am the woman, the great powerful woman who resurrected the organization peoples. Love the awesomeness that is me! Just kidding. Kind of." Leon rolled his eyes, Namine chuckling, and the two continued reading. "I apologize for stealing your friend, but I needed a buddy. I am very lonely over here."

Leon began reading aloud, drawing the others attention, even Cid and Yuffie.

"I kept Axel because I needed bait. I apologize again, but I know that you all, given the chance, would save Axel if you could. So I propose a game. Follow the clues and tricks I leave for you to learn more about who I am, why I am doing this, and where I am. If you win, you get Axel. And if you win, that hopefully means I will finally earn what I've been searching for."

"Since both Axel and I are asleep, and talking to you through our dreaming consciousness'', (and a computer monitor), I will be sending a friend of mine to help with the whole game thing. And remember this; I want, no, I need, you all to win. So, please do! Will you accept my challenge?"

All was silent for a moment.

"Do we accept, or do we leave Axel and this woman to their fates?" Leon muttered. Namine looked up to him, desperate hope shining through her eyes. Yuffie sighed, looking to the ground, and Cid rubbed the back of his head. Merlin looked apprehensive.

"Let's go for it." A voice said. Leon spun around.

Roxas stood in the doorway, looking determined and prepared. He was wearing his old organization cloak, unzipped, overtop his Twilight Town clothing. Striding forward, he touched the keyboard, and with a click, "Ok" was accepted.

Another pop-up came up.

"Let the games begin!" END
