Whoo! Two back-to-back updates to make up for the lack of updates lately! Yay! So, this one... It wasn't inspired by anything. I was just being evil :3 The resting place in time for this one-shot is in 358/2 Days, but before the events of Chain of Memories. :D
Disclaimer:
Me: Are you happy now, Riku? I finally got one that didn't have you in it!
Riku: *reading the reviews* I'm glad I'm finally not in one. But hey, look at this! "Poor Riku... He never gets a break..." See? People have sympathy for me!
Me: Who, you mean nee-chan? Did you read the whole review?
Riku: ...
Me: *points at computer* See, the last part says, "But then again, it'd be no fun if no one bothered him."
Riku: ...
Me: Eh, gomen. Like I said before, you're just such an easy target!
Riku: ...
Me: Aww, you're giving me the silent treatment. That's cute.
Riku: ...
Me: *sigh* I don't own Kingdom Hearts, thankfully! :D
"Hey, Roxas," Axel asked his blonde friend, biting into his ice cream.
"Yeah?" The teen replied, staring out into the sunset.
"I think… we should play a prank on someone." Axel replied, a smirk dancing onto his face.
Roxas cast a wary glance at his friend. "Well… who…?"
"Larxene." Axel said.
The blonde's eyes widened. "Axel, that's insane. Do you have some sort of death wish?" Everyone in the Organization knew to never piss Larxene off…
Axel shook his head. "No, I'm just bored."
Roxas shook his head. "Boredom isn't an excuse to have a death wish!"
"Ah, don't be such a baby, Roxas," Axel protested, throwing the hand that wasn't holding his ice cream into the air. "I promise, we'll be okay!"
The blonde was silent for a long time before he sighed and said slowly, "Fine. If we die, though, I'll come after you in the next life and kill you again!"
Axel only laughed. "Okay Roxas."
The duo stood, making their way down the clock tower so they could RTC.
When the pair arrived at the castle, they were immediately greeted by a bout of yelling coming from the Living Room That Never Was. They drifted into the room to see Demyx sitting on the floor, his hair singed on the edges, and Larxene sitting on the couch, glaring daggers at the Melodious Nocturne.
"Demyx," The Savage Nymph fumed, "Don't ever call me a witch again."
"Gah…" Demyx said, running a hand through his crispy dirty-blonde hair, "I'm sorry. Maybe if you were nicer to me, I wouldn't need to call you a witch!"
The water-controlling Nobody was silenced when lightning struck him once again.
Axel and Roxas, horrified, scurried out of the room before Larxene could direct her rage to them.
"Axel," Roxas said, shaking his head, "Are you sure you want to prank Larxene?"
Axel shook his head also, saying, "Yes. I'm absolutely sure. Now it's for Demyx!"
Roxas facepalmed. "You idiot…"
So, Axel (who was dragging Roxas along forcefully) snuck into Marluxia's room.
"Axel, why are we here…?" Roxas questioned, shuddering. There were flowers… everywhere. On the walls, on the bed, on the floor… Roxas looked up and groaned internally. Who puts flowers on the frigging ceiling?!
"I'm just grabbing something… Did you know that Marluxia's hair isn't naturally pink?" Axel replied, grabbing a small bottle off of the bathroom counter before dragging Roxas back out of the room.
"I always knew it was fake…" Roxas said, his eyes narrowing.
Axel cast a glance of confusion at his friend before he reached his target—Larxene's room. Axel slowly opened the door, then slid in silently, pulling Roxas in after him and closing the door. "Okay, Roxas, this is the plan." Axel whispered, leading the young teen into Larxene's bathroom. The redhead handed Roxas the bottle from earlier and said, "I'm going to go get Larxene's shampoo, and when I come back, I want you to pour this—" He motioned to the bottle, "Into it. Got it memorized?"
Roxas nodded warily, keeping an ear out for anyone that might get them caught. Axel disappeared into the darkness of the room for a few minutes before reemerging with a large yellow bottle. "Hurry up, Roxas!" Axel hissed, twisting the cap off to allow his friend to pour in the contents of the other bottle.
Roxas quickly opened his bottle and started pouring its contents—pink fluid—into the shampoo. Roxas snapped the bottle closed at Axel's cue watched as his friend twisted the cap back onto the shampoo. Axel began shaking it vigorously as he disappeared into the darkness again, leaving Roxas to wait once more.
Once Axel reemerged, he grabbed Roxas once again and they snuck back out of Larxene's room, not leaving a single trace that they were ever there.
"So, Axel," Roxas said as the duo walked down the hall, "What did we put in the bottle anyways?"
Axel grinned at his younger friend. "Ah, you'll see soon enough."
And sure enough, the very next day, an extremely angry Larxene stormed into the Living Room That Never Was with pink hair.
"WHO DID THIS?!" She yelled in a fury, just as Axel and Roxas were walking through a dark corridor to get on with their mission.
Just as the duo left, Marluxia walked in. He saw Larxene's hair and cooed, "So, you've finally decided to follow in my amazing footsteps, eh number twelve?"
Marluxia was the first of many to be struck by lightning.
Heh... we all know it was bound to happen eventually.
Larxene: I'll kill you... slowly...
Me: Pfft, you can't touch this! I'm the author-I put you in this fic, and I can take you out of it!
Larxene: ...ugh.
Riku: Finally, a chapter that wasn't me-related!
Me: I mentioned that in the beginning, but you were too busy giving me the silent treatment to notice! Glob.
Riku: ...
Me: Ah! There you go again!
Marluxia: ...but... my hair is naturally pink...
Me: Save it. We all know it's not. Gomen.
Marluxia: ... TT_TT
Axel: Nice! Good one Electro!
Me: Finally! Someone here who respects my writing! :D Thanks Axel!
Axel: No prob! :D
