Chapter 47: Confused Red

Brian groaned as he covered his head with the pillow as he tried to get back to sleep. He had been able to fall sleep two times, the first time he had got woken up was when he heard Riku slam into someone's room and he was too tired to care which room. The second time he woke up was after he had the same nightmare that he had been having for the last year and a half, starting after the Recon mission. Brian soon gave up trying to get to sleep and though this was a good time to call home, not bothering to look at the time.

Brian weaved himself off of his white and red covered mattress, got dressed and slowly started to make his out of his bedroom. As Brian walked along the hallway, he noticed some familiar energy coming from Sora's room. Why is that energy coming from Sora's room and why does it feel familiar?? Brian started to head towards Sora's door and was about to open it when he moved away and shook his head. It's properly nothing. Brian shrugged before making his way to the communication room.

Brian took a seat near one of the computer and started to tap the co-ordinates in the computer. As the computer waited for a connection, Brian started to think about his dream. He remembered sitting in a gummi ship in the bridge with Kyle and some other Little Devon shoulders. He remembered that they were coming back from the Recon mission that they had just completed. He remembered himself thinking about the choices that his dad had make and how he hated him for that. He remembered flames and explosions appearing as they were attacked by an unknown ship. He remembered feeling his skin burn and heard the soldiers scream before everything went black and the dream ended. Brian couldn't understand what the dream meant. All he knew was that his father must have done something against Little Devon to anger him so, maybe that's why Brian can't talk about him because he doesn't understand the hatred towards his father himself.

Brian suddenly heard a tired and frustrated groan, bringing him out of his thoughts and brought his attention to the computer screen. Brian saw that Daniel had answered the line. Great, now Daniel is going to complain about being woken up.

"Do you know what time it is?!?" Daniel asked angrily as he rubbed his eyes and sat down on the computer chair. Brian quickly looked at the clock and was surprised to see that it was around four o'clock in the morning. Strange, he could have sworn that it was midnight. Brian shrugged about the time and turned back towards the screen.

"I couldn't sleep." Brian explained, "Besides I thought that you would want to-"

"Why wake me up when you're having the sleeping problem!!" Daniel complained, "When don't you have sleeping problems. "

"Look, I didn't call to hear you moan about my sleeping routine." Brian said firmly to him, not afraid of the 21 year old.

"Then why the hell did you call for?"

"I was wondering if you could run a HDS test on the samples that I had sent you for the Endless Virus." Brian asked him to do. The question had created an awkward silence between the two and Brian could sense Daniel's tension rise even from the computer screen.

"YOU WOKE ME UP FOR THAT!!!" Daniel yelled through the computer back in Little Devon.

Brian growled at Daniel's anger, "Why are you getting so worked up?!? I'm just asking for some tests."

"At 4:35 in the morning."

"Well it's important."

"It doesn't sound like it." Daniel shot back, "Why the hell do you think that Sora has HDS??"

"Well, the symptoms fits to-"Brian started to explain.

"So does the Endless Virus." Daniel added.

"I know it does but-"

"Listen Brian, I don't care what you think. Never have, never will." Daniel bluntly said to the red-haired teen. "We know the facts and we've already failed at preventing one event." Brian rested his chin in his gloved hand while listening to Daniel usual lectern. "Just concrete on collecting the world's item and let Kyle worry about what tests need to be tested. Scott and I are going to a couple of worlds to help you out."

"I still think that we should test Sora for HDS." Brian carried on

"We are not running the test."

"But Daniel-"

"Don't 'Daniel' me!" Daniel screeched through the computer screen. "I am not going to make Kyle run a useless test that would lead us back to square one as well as waste our resources."

"Why! Just because some history book told you so, you are willing to throw any change." Brian angrily said to Daniel.

"Don't start getting angry because you can't get your own way!" Daniel shot back, "Now when you get the chance, come back to Little Devon. Kyle and Takeru need your help with something since Scott and I are going to other worlds."

"Fine. Bye." Brian said in a monotone voice and hanged up on Daniel. Brian now knew that he would not be able to fall asleep, no matter how tired he felt. As Brian stood up, the markings about his glove glowed brightly before faded back to its normal colour. Brian could feel anger pulse through him and he needed to calm his nerves without waking everyone up. I know, I run the test myself and to calm my nerves… Brian began to head below the ship. A bottle of Rum.

BOWBOWBOW

"So Sora, Kairi. Have you guys got anything to say to me?"

"Yeah, nothing happened."

"We were just hugging."

"Oh right, hugging. Since when did hugging involve lips!?"

It was now morning. Sora, Kairi and Riku were in the cockpit with Sora driving and Kairi and Riku in the co-pilot seats. Riku was currently suspecting Sora and Kairi about last night in Sora's room when Riku came to see if Sora still had his IPod since he likes to fall asleep to some relaxing music. Riku had seen Sora's door slightly open and he heard Kairi's voice in Sora's room. So Riku decided to wait for Kairi to come out of his room, being respectful for the two as he chose not to watch them. After a while of waiting, Riku got bored and decided to brash into the room when he suddenly froze for surprise as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"You guys were kissing. I saw it with my own eyes." Riku said while pointing at his own eyes. He could not help but envy Sora. Riku had liked Kairi in the past, the whole reason why he and Sora became rivals but knew that Kairi would have picked Sora anyways. He envied Sora because he was able to find true love while he was just stuck as the third wheel.

"We were not kissing!" Kairi protested, blushing from the conversation that they were having.

"We were just talking and then we hugged each other good night." Sora explained while facing the window. He was glad that he was driving, that way no one can see his blushing face.

"Guys, you don't have to hide it from me. I'm your best friend and I don't mind." Riku seriously said to them.

"We're not hiding anything from you Riku because nothing happened." Kairi argued.

"Guys, can we change the subject please." Sora begged, "I don't really want to get distracted due to us flying in an asteroid field."

"We are not flying in an asteroid field and I will only chance the subject when you admit that you kissed Kairi." Riku said as he got up and swinged Sora's chair around, revealing his pink face.

"Nothing happ-"Sora said to Riku.

"SORA! LOOK OUT!" Kairi pointed to the gigantic asteroid that was heading straight towards them. Sora swinged his chair back and steered to gummi a hard right to avoid the asteroid. The three heard painful groans and cursed as Sora turned the ship as well as hearing something fall off the shelf.

"I told you." Sora glared back at Riku before carrying on driving. "Can you check on the others for me, see if they're alright?" Riku nodded and left the room. The cockpit had become silence from the previous conversation. Sora concreted on the asteroids as well as being in deep though.

"Sora?" Kairi asked quietly.

"Hmm…"

"Thanks."

Confusion struck Sora as he turned to face her, "For what?"

"For being a good friend." Kairi said warming before hugging him as well as the chair from behind and left Sora to himself as she placed headphones over her head to check the radars and communication from other worlds.

"Yeah… a good friend." Sora said sadly to himself before returning to his duty.

BOWBOWBOW

Hikari started to storm her way to the bridge with half of her hair and face was covered in thick engine oil. Since Hikari was in the engine room and was changing the oil in one of the engines when Sora decided to make a hard right for reasons unknown, she managed to lose grib of the bottle of oil when she fell to the ground and the bottle just so happen to be flying over her pointing downwards.

Hikari entered the bridge, ready to slap Sora around the head for the uninspected turn, when she suddenly tripped over something. Hikari grunted angrily as she pushed herself up. "Who the hell left something in the hallway again!" she yelled. Last time, Max had left his skateboard in the hallway while the others were in Notre Dame and that made Hikari as angry as hell. Hikari looked back on the object and her anger grew as she saw that it was a someone not something. Brian was currently asleep in the middle of the corridor with a bottle of rum in one hand and some test tubes in another.

Hikari growled at Brian's drunken state, "No wonder he wanted to take the chest away." Good thing Max had found his secret sash this morning and mistake it for petrol. Hikari walked over to Brian and took the rum and test tube out of his hands. Just then, Riku walks into the bridge to see if everyone was alright when he just froze from the picture he was just seeing. "You say anything about my position and I swear you will only be leaving this room with one arm." Hikari warned him.

"Do I even want to know?" Riku raised an eyebrow.

"No, you don't." Hikari glared at him, placing the test tube and rum on the side table. Hikari then turned back to Brian and kicked him in the ribs. Brian soon shot his eyes open before clutching his chest in pain. "Get the hell up!" Riku approached Hikari to see Brian on the floor when Hikari whispered to him, "Sort out Plan B." Hikari instructed him. Riku nodded and headed towards the kitchen.

Brian looked up at Hikari and carried on laying on the floor. "Go away." Brian said sternly. Hikari was not in the mood to deal with Brian's moods. I swear, he's worse that some of the mean girls back at Little Devon.

"What was that turn about?" Max, Donald and Goofy came into the bridge after falling off their beds in their bedrooms. Max looked between Hikari and Brian and knew that this wasn't going to be pretty. Max turned to Donald and Goofy, "Hey Dad, can you and Donald find out what world we are heading towards?"

Donald crossed his feathered arms, "Why do we both have to g-"

"Of course, son." Goofy said happily before dragging Donald with him towards the cockpit. Max shook his head and smiled at his dad before facing Hikari. "Why is Brian on the floor?" he asked

"Because he's being an idiot by sleeping on the floor and it's time to get up." Hikari kicked Brian in the ribs again.

"OW! What the hell!" Brian complained.

"Get. Up."

"No!"

"Brian, you even get up or I'll go to Plan B." Hikari warned him.

"Oh no, not Plan B. Please don't do Plan B. Anything but Plan B." Brian said dramatically.

Max laughed at his best friend, "You don't even know what Plan B is, do you?"

"Not a clue." Brian replied.

"Fine, have it your way." Hikari as she quickly looked behind her before looking at Brian. "Now Riku!" Riku appeared from behind Hikari with a huge bucket that was filled with ice cold water that was just throw on Brian.

Brian jumps up from the cold and started to shiver. Brian suddenly felt his head spin like he was on some ride. Brian though that he was going to pass out and he could feel his arm, mainly his right arm heat up. Brian blinked a couple of times and tried to get rid of the dizziness in his head. Riku, Hikari and Max start to laugh, thinking it was just the shock of the ice cold water. Hikari was about to say something to him when she watched him fall to the ground again as he lost consciousness.

BOWBOWBOW

Sora, Kairi, Donald and Goofy were in the cockpit discussing what world their were going to head off to next. Sora and Kairi had not talked to each other since Riku left due to him leaving the two in an awkward position to talk to each other. The memory was still rushing through their mind, Sora wished that he didn't turn his head and Kairi wished that she didn't try to kiss him on the cheek like she had been doing for a while, hoping that Sora would get the message. The peck on the cheek turned into a peck on the lips, surprising them both and to make things worse, Riku had to bragged into. The two teens did like the kiss but their were too embarrassed to tell each other that.

"I think that we should go to this world." Donald said as he pointed to the medieval theme world. Another point to make, since Donald and Goofy had entered the room, it had made the two teens forget about the event for the time being as they decided what world to go to.

"Why that one?" Sora asked.

"Because that world looks fun." Goofy answered for his friend.

"Hey, I was going to say that!" Donald complained.

"Well, I think we should head to that world." Kairi pointed to the world that looked like a high school. "We could find some information out."

"There is no way I'm going to a school." Sora said.

"Aww, c'mon you lazy bum. School can be fun too." Kairi placed her hands on her hips.

"Since when has school been fun?" Sora placed the ship on auto pilot and crossed his arms while looking at her.

"Umm, maybe we could ask the others?" Donald suggested.

"Good idea, Donald." Sora agreed.

"Ah-yuck! I just call Maxie." Goofy told them and was about to call his son when Max came running into the cockpit, panting for air." Gawsh Maxie, I was about to call ya to see whi-"

"We have a bigger problem, dad." Max cut him off. "Brian collapsed."

"What?!" Kairi gasped in a worried tone.

"What happened?" Donald asked. Max was about to explain when he had heard a yell come from bridge.

"AHHH PINK ELEPHANTS EVERYWHERE!!!"

"He's delusional. Grab him!"

"How can I grab him when he's using haste."

"I don't know. Just try."

"MUST FLY AWAY FROM THE PINK ELEPHANTS!!!"

The group cringed at the sound of objects being broken and frustrated yells from Riku and Hikari. Max looked at his father. "Dad, we need to protect the doorway." Max stood in the doorway to the cockpit. He then summoned his bow and placed paralyzing herbs on the arrow heads, ready to paralyze Brian. Goofy nodded and summoned his shield, blocking the entrance with his son. Max and Goofy guarded the door while the others carried on listening to stuff being broken. Goofy and Max eyes widened as they saw a huge red blur coming towards them before knocking them to the floor. The blur stopped to see Brian looking at his surroundings. He looked like he was having a nervous breakdown. With everyone distracted by Brian's behaviour, no one noticed the markings above his right hand glowing or that his eyes were violet.

Brian dashed past Donald and Kairi, knocking them down, and next to Sora. He then pushed Sora out of the driving seat, "Get out the way, Bigfoot. We have to escape the pink elephants!" Brian panicky said as he took the auto-drive off and started to head straight into the heart of the asteroid field.

"Brian, are you-" Kairi began to ask, noticing the markings glowing.

"Crud, the pink elephant are right behind us." Brian shouted and started to press random buttons.

"Brian, there are no pink ele-" Sora tried to explain, approaching the confused red to try and jump him. The ship suddenly started to shake, causing Sora to fall to the floor. Brian managed to press a certain combination of buttons to summon a special red button.

Riku and Hikari came running into the cockpit, "The engines are blown. We need to-" Hikari then noticed that Brian was about to press the red button. "Brian! What ever you do! Don't press the red button." she said to him.

"I'm not listening to you." Brian said as he turned back to the red button. "Let the pink elephant barbeque BEGIN!!!" Brian pressed the almighty red button.

"Warning! Ship engines overload! Prepare for crash landing." The computer A.I system announced as the ship began to shake and rumble to the closest world that there is.

"Brian!!"

"What?! We're only crashing on some mysterious world." Brian said casually before leaning back on the chair with his feet under the steering wheel. The chair gave way, making Brian fall off the chair, snap the steering wheel off and knock himself out.

"Sora! Do something!" Kairi screamed.

"I can't! There's no steering." Sora shouted back.

"Hey guys, think of a plan because I can see the ground." Hikari told them.

"I know!" Donald stepped forward. "Protectaga!" All of the party were covered in protective barriers as they were stumbling down to the earth below.

CRASH!!

A/N: Yay! I'm done. Brian is having a bad day. Weird dreams, sudden blackout, yelling random stuff. I wonder what's wrong and what are the test results for Sora's HSD test. We will soon find out. Don't you love it when people have accident kisses and then you walk in the room and immediately think that they're a couple now. Funny. I never liked the pink elephants in Dumbo, gave me nightmares. Okay, now for messages:

Kisdota- The Freak Gamer: Thanks for the review. I hope that it leads to something cause it would be a waste of time if it didn't…maybe not. Hey, you know what Xion is?

Shire Folk: Oops… I was never good at spelling. Heck, I'm lucky enough to get half the spelling right in my fic as well as the grammar. Always get 'Annals' and 'Annual' mixed up. Don't know why, I just do.

Soragirl4ever: Thanks for the review and I've read the next chapter. I liked it that mostly everyone ganged up on Axel and the fact that Sora can't be bothered to make his own poem up while kairi writes in a message that are always mentioned in the games. Lol. Hey Sora, you can't hate me, you had some nice alone time with Kairi with King Mickey butting in, cause he is captured. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Future Keybearer: I will explain how Master Xehanort became Heartless Xehanort in the further chapters.

See ya next time.

Kingdommad.
