Hey guys! Welcome to chapter three of the marathon! Just an update from me: I can see some clouds closing in on me, and the thunder is distracting me from my Spotify Playlist. I have a pizza in the oven right now, and I'm hungry like the wolf.

Xion sat on the sofa, munching slowly on her stack of chocolate chip cookies. She wondered where she had gotten a stack of cookies. She'd just been sitting there, then, POOF! She was sitting there, eating a cookie. Any curiosity she had was thrown off by the taste of the still melting chocolate chips.

She'd just finished one that was a little burnt on the side when little Kitty Roxas came running up to her. "Hi, Mr. Kitty!" Behind him followed the blonde girl, arms open, as if trying to get a hug from the kitten, Xigbar, shouting at the blonde girl, and the little blonde boy, who had a big grin.

Xion picked Roxas up and stroked his head lightly. "Awe, Mr. Kitty, did the people scare you?"

Roxas let out a soft purr. Yeah, Xion.

"But Roxas-Kitty, I'll, protect you from those two jerks!" As she said jerks, she pointed towards Xigbar and Luxord.

I'm not afraid of them! You're the one who's freaking me out, Namine!

Her face grew dark. She yanked the cat out of Xions arms and began wildly shaking him. "I love you, Roxas-Kitty! You don't need to be scared of me! I'M NICE!"

AAAAGGGHHGHH! Stop it Namine! GLLGLGLGLLLLGGGGRGLGLGLGLGLGLGLGLLLL!

She stopped the shaking and gave the cat a bear hug. "I'm sorry for shaking you, Roxas-Kitty. Forgive me." It was more of a command than a question.

Xion ran up to Namine and grabbed Roxas.

"Merow," said Roxas.

"Mr. Kitty, are you okay?!" He mewed again.

"Roxas," Xigbar said with a bit of force in his voice, "project your thoughts into our heads again."

True, Roxas, up until now, had been projecting his thoughts to everyone using the powers given to him, Lexeaus, and Xaldin by a gypsy. Now, his meows were coming straight from his mouth.

"Merow."

"Well crap! How are we going to finish the potato name thing now," asked Luxord.

"Luxord, we'll get back to that in a moment. Go get Vexen."

Ten Minutes Later…

Yes," Vexen commented, holding Roxas up to her eyes, "very strange. I've already been here for a few minutes and he hasn't sworn at me yet. All joking aside, though, this isn't too bad."

Xigbar stood up from his position on the sofa. "So what's the problem then, Vexen? Just give him a Mega-Potion or an Ether or something."

"The problem isn't his health. He seems like a perfectly normal cat. The problem is his mind. It's like someone has amnesia."

"So, does that mean, if I do the same thing I did that made him think he was a cat, will that make him act like a human again?" Vexen shrugged.

"I don't know. Maybe something cartoony like that might work in our situation."

"And what situation is that, Vexen," asked Luxord.

Vexen squatted down to Luxords eye-level. "Five people have had their gender changed. Three of us are now children. We have two pets. One of us is a floating salesman. Meanwhile, the three people who didn't draw the short sticks are having to deal with everyone.

"Our lives are cartoonish enough to the point where something as strange as trying to repeat the conditions of an amnesiac incident is normal."

"Ah," said Luxord. "That makes sense."

Vexen threw the cat over her shoulder, and it landed on its paws. "Give it a try, Namine." Namine rushed over and picked up the kitten.

She began shaking it wildly. "Rooooooxxxxxxyyyyy!" She gently placed Roxas back onto the ground. He stumbled around for a moment, but eventually got his footing back. "Roxas-Kitty, do you know who I am?"

The kitten just turned his head to an odd angle.

Vexen sighed. "Looks like it didn't work."Just then, Lexeaus strolled into the room.

Guys, I heard Roxas was sick, is everything alright?

"Hey," Luxord said, looking around the room, "does anyone else hear that?" There was a small growling sound. "It sound like a dog." They all looked towards the source of the noise: Roxas.

"On second thought," said Vexen, looking at Roxas, "maybe you shaking him made it worse." Roxas kept growling, and slowly stalked over to Lexeaus.

Roxas, are you okay? You're looking at me fun- OW! Roxas leapt onto the other cat, and began scratching and biting. Roxas! Get off me! The scrap died down, and Roxas stepped away from Lexeaus.

Roxas began the growling once again. "Grrrrr."

Xigbar picked Roxas up, and the growling soon died away. "So then… I guess I'll send Axel out to get a crate."

Sorry if this one is a on the short side, but I'll try to do a longer chapter next time. I hope you guys are enjoying the anniversary, and I'll see you in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing this thing for the past year, and here's to one more. Remember to keep reading, reviewing, and just keep being Radical.
