The wedding is over, the wedding is over, the wedding is over…

Ok, all the insane stuff that happened at the wedding plus something that happened at school inspired this extra long, extra funny, extra fluffy, extra everything, even the kitchen sink, fan fiction that will go down in the history of… me.

IN the next story, I'll explain my inspirations.

Let us begin.

Extra Special Super Duper Wondrous Fiction of Fan That Is Dubbed:

"I Am Emo, Hear Me Roar!"

Dude, that was weird.

I know it was. Man that was insane, even on my level.

I still can't believe Vexen is feeling.

Lurve…

Ahhggggh!

Just kidding.

"Can you believe it?" She whispered quietly.

"Yeah, I know, it's amazing!" The hyper girl cheered.

"What's so special…?" One boy began. The two girls quickly shushed him.

"So what will we do?" An older, quiet voiced woman asked.

"Eat cake, get drunk, and dunk a bucket of water over his head?" A childish voice teen boy joked. One girl glared at him.

"You know, that makes him a Scorpio…" One girl murmured. The others silenced and looked to her. She sighed. "And none of you know what that means do you?"

"He's good in bed?" One older woman smirked. The other girl grinned.

"Sure does." The boys shivered. One shook his head.

"Alright." The hyper girl huddled towards her friends, and they all circled in around her. "Here's the plan…"

Riku ruffled his hair with the towel, drying himself off after his "morning swim" (see chapter 12… hehehe…) and then headed out of the room, after throwing the towel to the floor.

"What a way to start the day off…" he chuckled, shaking his head. Placing his hands in his pockets, the boy started down the street, the midday sun glaring at the earthy ground.

"Hey, Riku!" Someone called. Riku spun around to see the ninja Yuffie running towards him, an estatic look on her face.

"Good… afternoon, now, I guess." The boy muttered as he smiled at Yuffie. She ran straight up to him, spun around, and dragged him away towards the buildings.

"Yuffie! What…"

"Shush!" She shushed him. Yuffie dragged Riku down an alleyway, and then spun back around to look at him.

"You know what today is?" She asked, pepped up.

"A very lazy Thursday?" Yuffie frowned and placed her hands on her hips.

"Ha-ha, no. Another guess?"

"Uhh…" He began. "I… guess I'm not gonna get this right." Yuffie huffed and shook her head.

"It's his birthday!" She muttered angrily.

"Who's?" Riku pondered.

"His!" Yuffie whispered, nodding towards the street. A certain person whom I'm not going to name because I am evil walked by. Riku's eyes went wide.

"His?"

Yuffie nodded. "His."

An evil grin spread across Riku's features. He turned to Yuffie.

"What can I do?"

Roxas stood out at the maw with four others, sitting contently by the sidelines as his friends sparred. He had just finished fighting Cloud, though both were fighting with sticks (Roxas with two keyblade sized sticks; Cloud with a stick that was the size of Texas or very close), and now the blonde was resting next to him, not a single sign of fatigue on his sweaty face.

Sora grunted as he was thrown back a bit by Saix's thrust. The two had sticks as well, and were at each others throats. Oddly enough, the two had become closer in the past few days.

"Come on, old man, move!" Sora taunted, laughing. Saix smirked, and flaunted his hair sarcastically.

"I am no old man." He retorted, and swooped in for the kill.

"Sora!"

Saix fumbled at the last second and fell flat on his face, and Sora stumbled back after preparing for an attack that never came. Scrambling back to his feet, Sora glanced over to see Roxas laughing his head off, Cloud chuckling as well.

"What?" He muttered. It seemed Roxas was the one who had called him.

"Let's call it a day. We've been practicing for hours now; I need lunch." Sora's stomach grumbled when he realized he needed it, too.

"Alright." Saix nodded. "Let's return."

Groaning as he body seared with soreness, Sora stumbled along next to the equally sore Roxas. The blonde chuckled at his friend.

"Hurts, huh?" Sora chuckled, nodding. "Well, we've got lots of ice." Roxas nodded towards Vexen as they passed into the city limits. Sora guffawed.

Vexen did not notice, seeing as he was in a world all his own. He was doing something he'd never thought – never dreamed – he'd ever do.

"She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me…" He continued as he quietly pulled flower petals off a flower. He finished and threw the naked daisy aside with disgust.

"She loves me not…" he muttered sadly and angrily. Head in his palm, he sighed and looked out into the maw, finding he saw Ariel behind every stone and around every corner he looked.

"What's with him?" Cloud questioned Saix as they walked past. The blue haired man looked Vexen over quizzically, and shrugged.

"I don't know."

Up in the castle library, the maid Ariel hummed as she worked. She had cleaned and done her duties for the day, but found she was at a loss for what to do now. She was quite bored, and curious minds hate being bored.

Over in the chair by the window was Zexion, sitting with his legs crossed and reading. Ariel liked calling him Zexy, much to his distaste.

Grinning mischievously, Ariel walked up behind the blue haired man.

"Hi, Zexy!" She cheered, dusting his head with her duster. He groaned loudly and looked up from his book.

"Ariel, my name is Zexion. Say it with me: Zex-i-on."

"Zexy?"

"Zexion."

"Are you sure?" Zexion muttered under his breath and shook his head, caressing his forehead.

"Of course I'm sure, it's my name." Ariel giggled as she began dusting his book, shaking dust into his nostrils.

"Are you sure you're emo?" Zexion's eyes went wide with distaste.

"I'm quite sure I'm not emo."

"Sure?" She began dusting his feet, bending down in front of him. His eyebrow quivered.

"Of course I'm sure." He closed his book and set it on the table, sure he wasn't going to be able to read.

"Well, I think you're emo." She continued, now dusting his face. Zexion roared.

"WILL YOU GO AWAY?" He jumped up out of his seat, very aggravated. Silence echoed for a moment.

"… No."

Xiggy was rushing around the castle, looking here and there and everywhere for the man of the day. So far, he couldn't be found, but Xigbar was a stubborn man.

"Birthday boy, birthday boy, where are you birthday boy?" He chimed.

Sweeping into the kitchen, Xigbar grinned when he found the person he was looking for, and quite enough people to distract him.

Sitting at the table was Demyx, strumming his guitar, in a joyous mood. Luxord was next to him, watching the boy, and sipping coffee (the people of Radiant Garden had learned that Luxord slept like a log, would drink coffee any time of the day, and was the only person in the RGRC who was a morning person). Leon was across from them, chugging a beer, and in the corner of the room, Xaldin and Laxaeus were talking about… something.

"You." Xigbar pointed at Demyx. The boy looked up with a quizzical gaze. "You. You. You. You." He continued, pointing at Luxord, Leon, Xaldin, and Laxaeus in turn. "Out. Now. Bye!"

Xigbar pushed them all out of the room, finding that Xaldin and Demyx were the only ones that complained. The others were in a sort of "What the hell was that?" kind of mood.

Xigbar slammed the door shut and sighed contently.

"Time to get to work!"

Larxene was in the garden with Marluxia, sitting under the trees with a disgusted look.

"Today is unusually boring." She muttered, punching the ground lightly as she pulled up a clump of grass. Marluxia glared at her out of the corner of his eye as he replanted it with his powers.

"What did I tell you…" he began, reprimanding her. Larxene began mocking him behind the tree. He noticed it, somehow. With a smirk on his face, he kept talking, which kept Larxene from noticing that he was coming up behind her.

"That you are terribly annoying?" He finished, standing right above and behind her, and nudged her with his foot. She noticed now, and sighed.

"You are just as annoying." She mumbled. Marluxia chuckled to himself.

"Hey, guys!" Someone called. Larxene looked up to see Riku at the doorway. He was grinning wildly.

"Come on, it's time!" He spoke before turning around and running out the door. Larxene jumped up.

"Time for what?" She asked, but he was gone. Marluxia looked curious.

"Time for us to find out." He muttered.

Roxas and Sora came into Merlin's study, followed by Cloud and Saix, to find Leon, Luxord, Demyx, Xaldin, and Laxaeus playing "Go Fish". Xaldin was grumbling over something, and Luxord seemed pleased with himself.

"What's going on?" Sora asked, since Leon and Laxaeus were rare when it came to playing card games.

"Xigbar booted us out of the kitchen." Xaldin explained moodily. He placed a few cards down and let his head drop.

"Can we join?" Roxas inquired. For some reason, Demyx violently shook his head, drawing a finger over his neck.

Demyx got out of his seat, walked around the table and out of the house, beckoning Sora and company to follow. Once outside, Demyx quietly shut the door and turned to the four.

"Go see Kairi." He demanded. Sora blinked.

"All of us?" Roxas asked. Demyx nodded.

"What for?" Cloud spoke. Demyx shook his head profusely.

"Go see Kairi." He spoke again, and with that, he disappeared into the room.

Sora was about to ask what that was about, but Roxas interrupted him. He had turned to talk to a passerby.

"Excuse me", Roxas began. "Where's Kairi?"

"I wonder why Kairi's in the kitchen." Sora pondered to himself later as the four sauntered into the castle and towards the kitchen. Cloud shrugged.

"Perhaps it has something to do with the rumors I've heard." Sora perked up.

"What rumors?"

"Someone of the RGRC has a birthday today." Saix answered. Sora cheered.

"A party is in order!" Sora grinned as they walked into the kitchen, Roxas holding the door open. The nobody replied to Sora.

"I believe you're one step behind, as usual, Sora." Roxas chuckled.

The kitchen was a mess, powder on the floor, measuring cups on the counter, ingredients everywhere. It was as if someone was baking and making a lot of food.

Kairi stood at the side, putting a banner on the far wall. Namine was down on the ground, drawing another banner. The double doors on the far wall beside the girls were wide open.

At the oven, humming and baking, was Xigbar. He was wearing a black apron and a broad grin.

"Xigbar's cooking?" Sora gawked. Xiggy heard them and turned around, spatula in one hand and his other hand on his hip.

"Course. I cooked in the TWTNW, too. Who else would cook for everyone? Xaldin did, due to his amazing stabbity powers, but he went… nuts. I took over."

(Ok, that idea does not belong to me. That belongs to the creator of "The Xemnas Reports" comic, which I read at Also, the idea from one of my earlier stories, were Stitch was on Saix's head, belongs to the writer of "Aloha!" where Sephiroth and Stitch accidentally meet and Stitch attaches to his head. Both of those ideas belong to their respective owners. By the way, read "Aloha!" It's hilarious.

"Phhibita maha!"

"Keep my mother out of this!"

Sorry, just had to quote "Aloha!" READ IT!)

"Is that a birthday cake?" Cloud quietly inquired. Xigbar nodded and went back to cooking.

"It's for the birthday boy. Go over and talk to Kairi. See how you can help." He demanded, nodding to the read head. Sora and Roxas ran over to her. Saix and Cloud sneaked out the kitchen door.

"Hey, Sora." Kairi greeted. Sora grinned at her, estatic.

"Whose birthday is it?" He asked. Namine shook her head.

"Read the banner." She chuckled. Sora grinned sheepishly.

"Oh." The boy looked up above Kairi's head to the banner.

"Happy Birthday… Leon?" Sora gasped happily. "This is gonna be great!"

"Yeah, it will. Now, you two help set these up, and I'll go help Yuffie and Tifa. After you're done, help Donald and Goofy with the fire works. The leader of the RGRC has to have a birthday with style!" Kairi grinned.

Suddenly, Riku came into the room, arms full of plastic bags.

"Alcohol, anyone?" He joked, setting the bags on the counter.

"Put them in those coolers." Xigbar ordered, and with a nod, Riku set to work.

"Well, we'd better get started." Sora said to Roxas, looking at the streamer poppers in his hands. Roxas nodded.

"Let's."

Xemnas sighed. What a day. It was his birthday. That man. It been so long since he'd celebrated…

The study of Ansem the Wise was vacant today, silent, and eerie. Sitting in the chair with his chin resting on his fist, Xemnas scanned the book titles on the shelves.

His eyes came upon a book titled: "Photographs". Curiosity and remembrance drove Xemnas to stand up and remove the book from the shelf.

Flipping it open, a smirk found Xemnas' lips. It was a photograph book, one from years and years ago. There was one of Izeno, asleep on the computer. Since he'd fallen on the computer screen when he was typing, the screen said "D" over and over a thousands times. Elaeus had thought it funny enough to photograph.

There was another of Braig and his girlfriend at the local pub.

Another of Elaeus and Lord Ansem studying the wildlife of the castle, in the thoughts that perhaps every being had a sort of "heart".

The next… was of Xehanort. He was standing calmly by the window as the sun rose, awaiting Braig's return after winter break. Xehanort had been the only one with no family to return to. Lord Ansem had taken a picture of what he thought was emotion in physical form.

And the last was of all seven, the five apprentices attacking both Xehanort and Ansem as it was photographed. They all looked… so happy. So innocent to the future.

Next to where the book had been, on the shelf, was a headshot of Lord Ansem. With a sigh, Xemnas set the book back on the shelf.

"Happy birthday…. Lord Ansem."

'It's close to time!' Demyx thought, looking his hand over. He could care less about "Go Fish!" He just wanted to do his job. Getting Leon upstairs at the right time was his part of the plan. The others had no clue what was going on.

"A five?" Leon inquired. Xaldin removed two fives from his hand and gave them to Leon.

In ten minutes, it would be time for Demyx to finally bring the star of the party to the party.

'I can't wait!'

Auron sat in the Bailey, three little whatyamacallits flying around his head.

"You all never run out of energy." He chuckled.

"Of course not!" The three cheered together. Then Rikku spoke.

"Today is the day of the party!" She smiled. Auron smirked.

"I can't wait."

Sora quietly shut the kitchen doors without popping the streamers. Roxas grinned at their work of art.

"It's time!" Donald cheered, running into the room, followed by Goofy and the chuckling king.

"Are we all ready?" Aerith asked, walking into the room. Xigbar set his cake down on the table in the dining room. It was now officially a party room, complete with dance floor and snacks.

"Yup. Everythin's set." He grinned, taking off his over mitts.

Tifa walked through the room and picked up the telephone. 'Time to call Demyx' She thought with a smile.

Demyx felt his phone vibrate silently in his pocket and set his hand down immediately.

"Come on, guys!" He grinned. "I've got something to show you!"

Everyone was in the room, even Xemnas, who had been dragged in by Xigbar. He had asked whose party it was, and seemed relieved to hear it was Leon's. He was easier to convince after.

Even Ariel the maid was here. For some reason, Vexen seemed tense.

"Everyone, quiet!" Kairi called. Bending down she prepared to jump. The door handle jiggled. Tifa put a finger over her mouth when Yuffie giggled.

And then, the door open.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OLE LION!

Happy birthday, old man.

Be nice, Axel. (I guess I said the same thing snicker)

"What is this?" Leon asked with a smug grin.

"Birthday party, of course. Compliments of us, the RGRC and Organization XIII. Sponsored by people like you." Xigbar joked in an announcer like voice. Leon smiled reverently.

"Why the hell you go to all this trouble?" Yuffie leapt up, grinning.

"What makes you think it was for you? We needed a reason to party!" She said feciciously.

"Who said we needed a reason to party?" Roxas chuckled. Leon shook his head.

"Fools." He muttered quietly to himself, a faraway look in his eyes.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's party!" Demyx cheered.

And the festivities began.

"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" They cheered, Tifa, Demyx, Xigbar, Marluxia, and others slamming their fists on the tables to the beat as Leon chugged down his beer in a race with Xaldin. It was coming to the end, both were so close…

"LEON!" Demyx cheered, raising his fist in victory. The man wiped his lips with his sleeve, and shook hands with Xaldin, who was beaming. Everyone was having a blast.

"Man, Sora, you suck at this!" Roxas joked, getting his 106 combo. Sora attempted to stay on the DDR pad, but he was losing. Badly. Kairi laughed at the poor boy's misery.

"Come on, be nice! It's my first try!" He groaned.

"First try? This is your ninth time tonight!" Roxas laughed. Sora grumbled.

In the other room, Xemnas and Cloud where… talking. The two were actually… talking. It was a miracle. I will not even try to define what occurred with words, and will simply move on.

Larxene was digging into her third piece of cake when Marluxia snatched it from her. Running out the door, the maddened woman chased after the flower power boy.

Namine was, of course, in the corner, drawing the scenes. After finishing his match of DDR with Sora, and letting Demyx step into his place, Roxas sat next to her, soda in hand.

"You don't have to sit in the dark corner, you know." He smiled. She smiled as well.

"Perhaps I prefer it. As much as I like company… the shadows make good company." She sighed contently. Roxas grinned.

"Perhaps I can accompany you in these shadows." Namine giggled, looking up to him.

"I'd like that."

"Okay, Okay, Leon, my gift first!" Yuffie cried, shoving the gift past Luxord. The man yelped, laughed, and moved on. Not everyone was around Leon, but some were. Others were in the kitchen, drinking and talking. Sora was still trying to master DDR. Xemnas was killing him.

Tearing the silvery paper apart, Leon found a box. Opening it, Leon found…

It was a doorknob. It was pure silver, shining, and decorated with a lion.

"You can have a bedroom theme!" Yuffie joked. Leon rolled his eyes and smiled, setting the gift in his lap.

"Here." Aerith handed him the next gift. It was square, and kind of tall.

"Books?" he asked. Aerith nodded.

"Obvious, huh?" she joked. Grinning, Leon unwrapped them and looked the gifts over.

"Hmm… you've been watching what I've been reading." He observed. Aerith nodded.

"I got you the last books in the series." She smiled.

Suddenly, cheering erupted in the other room. The three looked out the door to see Vexen and Ariel locking lips, both all over each other, as Vexen attempted to move them out the door. Grinning, Xigbar aided them, and shut the door once they were out as he and the others laughed and cheered and whistled.

Shaking his head, Leon took a look at all his gifts and sighed.

"Perhaps I should wait. I'll never finish before the end of the party." He joked. Yuffie nodded.

"I'll help get them to your room." Donald ran over.

"At least open mine!" He begged. Leon nodded and picked up a cylinder about as long as his arm. Opening it, Leon was intrigued.

"Scrolls?" He asked. Donald nodded.

"The collections of both the fake and real Ansem reports. Figured you wanted them; they're from the three of us." Sora said, looking over to Goofy. Leon smiled.

"Thanks, kid."

"Alright, now you three can help me move these upstairs." Sora looked down and sighed.

"Come on, Sora, we can help." Goofy stated. Sora gave in, and the four began moving gifts upstairs. As Yuffie passed, a drunk Demyx patted her on the butt. Oddly enough, Yuffie glared at him playfully and laughed.

Namine smiled from her corner. Roxas looked over her shoulder as he watched her draw the scene before her.

"Leon." She called as she finished the drawing and took it out of her book. She then handed it to him as a gift.

"Thanks." He muttered reverently, looking at the drawing of Aerith and Yuffie beside him, Sora, and the trio below him, and the gifts around him. With a grin, he placed it out a pile of gifts Donald was carrying upstairs.

"What a night." Leon joked, sipping his wine.

"Fireworks!" Yuna cheered, flying to the window and looking out. Luxord walked up behind her.

"Marvelous." He sighed, sipping his wine.

In the other room, Larxene smeered Marluxia's face with cake. Kairi was next to Zexion.

"Ariel tells me you're an emo." She taunted. That was it. Drunk Zexion had had enough.

"THAT'S IT!" He cried, leaping onto the counter. "Everyone! I have an announcement!" Everyone fell silent to listen. Clearing his throat, Zexion continued.

"I am Emo, hear me Roar!" He cried, throwing his hands up as he slid off the counter into Xaldin and Laxaeus's waiting hands. From there, he crowd-surfed. Riku laughed.

"Never thought I'd see that." Xemnas, sitting by the window beside him, chuckled.

"I never thought I'd see this." Xemnas sighed, sipping wine. He felt different. Perhaps it was the alcohol. Perhaps it was the heart.

But the question of "What is happening to me?" was fading away.

"I've got a keg!" Xigbar cried, rolling it into the room. Sora was now back, and he ran forward. Xigbar grinned.

"Me first!" Sora demanded. Leon leapt up, angry and protective.

"NO!"
