Chapter 32

"How did you talk me into this?" Roxas asked.

"Because I can easily influence people with simple mindsets," Neox replied.

The two male nobody's were outside Calixa's room door. "Are you sure she's not in there?" Roxas asked.

"Roxas, I saw her go to her mission with Zexion, so she can't be in there."

"Ok," Roxas said and grabbed the door knob. It was locked. "We can't go in, it's locked. Oh well," he turned to leave, trying to get out of doing this.

Neox grabbed the back of his hood. "Not so fast, did you forget that we both possess a weapon that can unlock anything?"

"Oh yeah," Roxas said, disappointed.

Neox summoned his keyblade and pointed it at the locked door. A few moments later it was unlocked, and he opened the door. They both entered and started looking for the object they wanted.

"Why does it always smell so badly in here, when she never smells bad?" Roxas asked casually.

Neox looked at him before answering. "Because she's crazy and drenches her room with her perfume."

"Hey, I found it!" Roxas cried out.

He held up a book that he found in her underwear drawer, "Awesome!" Neox cried out and ran over to him.

Roxas opened it up to reveal that it was empty except for one page that said, "NICE TRY NEOX!"

"GRRR its one of her fake ones," Neox growled.

Roxas looked at him, confused. "Fake?"

"She knows I'm always trying to find and read her diary, so she hides fake ones everywhere."

"Well this was in her underwear drawer. Where else could it be?"

The two continued looking everywhere for the diary, and after finding three other bogus dairies. Neox looked under a loose floorboard and found what he was sure was the real thing, "Roxas! Found it!"

"Are you sure it's not just another fake one," Roxas asked sounding like he was very tired of this wild goose chase.

"Yeah! This is the only place it could be!" Neox said, "Plus look how much security it has." By the looks of it, it had a voice activated lock, and a keyhole.

"I guess... but then how do we open it? I never tried my keyblade on a voice activated lock."

"Well lets try," the younger boy summoned his keyblade. Roxas sighed, summoning his as well. "Lets do it together it will probably be more powerful," Neox suggested.

"Hopefully."

They both raised there keyblades and pointed at the diary. The beam of light shot from the ends of both, entering the keyhole, and then suddenly they where both sucked into the book. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" both screamed as the fell for what seemed like an eternity.

Then they landed on what felt like soft grass, "What happened...?" Neox asked, dazed.

"I don't know..." Roxas replied not sounding much better. He slowly rose into a sitting position and looked around.

Neox did the same, "What the..." the younger boys mouth dropped open from what he saw.

Before them was an Amusement Park. Roxas and Neox slowly stood up, Um... Neox where are we?" Roxas asked.

"I have no idea... Let's recap on what happened."

"Well first of all, you," Roxas pointed an accusing finger at the boy, "Made me help you break into Calixa's room to help you steal her diary."

"Second of all you didn't try to talk me out of it and you went along with me," The silver haired boy rebutted.

Roxas growled in her throat, "Then you found the diary, and you decided to try and break into it!"

"Then you helped me break into it with your keyblade!"

Roxas sighed, "Then what happened?"

"We ended up here…"

"Maybe we can ask someone at that park over there, were we are?" Roxas suggested pointing toward the amusement park.

"Yeah, that'll warrant some result at least," Neox said, walking toward the park.

Roxas followed, and as they got closer they could read what the park was called. It seemed to be called 'Alica's World.' "That name seems kinda familiar," Roxas commented.

"Alica... that's Cali's true name," Neox reminded him.

"Your right," Roxas was starting to get a bad feeling. "What do you think that means?"

"I haven't the slightest clue..." Neox walked into the park.

It seemed to look like a normal theme part. Roller Costars everywhere eating booths, fun houses. It was just missing one thing. "Roxas," Neox asked. "Do you notice something strange?"

"Besides the fact that absolutely nobody is here?"

"Exactly!"

There was an uncomfortable silence, until a strange creaking noise alerted them. They both jumped and looked in the direction it came from. Coming there way was... themselves. Both Roxas and Neox summoned there keyblades, "Careful, if there really ourselves we wouldn't want to kill them. Then we'd be killing ourselves," Neox warned.

"True, but why are they here...?"

Roxas didn't answer, "Brace yourself," Neox warned as the two identical's came closer to them.

"I say we run," Roxas suggested.

"What, Why?"

"Because I don't want to find out what they want," with that Roxas turned around and ran.

Neox glared, "Coward!" he shouted and charged at the copies.

The blonde continued running, "Tell me how it goes!" he called back.

Neox slashed at the copies, only to have them float into the air. "Wha..." he asked in confusion. "What are they?"

Looking into the distance, he saw someone. It was too far away to tell who it was, but the two copies of him and Roxas were clearly being controlled by it. He then started to wonder if maybe Roxas had the right idea. When the puppet Neox held its hand out to him and an electric ball of light appeared, he knew he couldn't win. He turned his tail and ran as fast as he could. "Roxas wait for me!" he called running after Roxas's figure which was still running. Being a faster runner then Roxas he caught up to the blonde.

Roxas looked back and saw that the puppets were flying toward them. "Hurry lets hide in here," he motioned to a house of mirrors.

Neox agreed and the two headed toward the house. They were stopped right at the entrance by a large hand, and a mechanical voice said, "Halt you must be properly clean enough to enter."

"You've got to be kidding me," Neox said and jumped back, knowing what was about to happen.

"Sanitary not accepted. Must be cleaned," the voice said.

Unfortunately Neox didn't jump back far enough, for they were both showered with water and berry smelling soap. Two giant scrubbers came out and scrubbed there front and back, then they were dried and dowsed with pomegranate scented body spray.

"Thank you, you are now clean enough. Enjoy," the machine said.

"Good! now get the hell out of our way!" Neox yelled angrily.

The hand moved away, giving them access to the entrance. "Ew, now I smell like girl," Roxas complained as the two ran inside.

Upon entering, they were both instantly disoriented. There were mirrors everywhere, "Aw man!" Neox yelled in frustration.

"Come on this way," Roxas grabbed Neox's arm and started going though the maze of mirrors.

"How do you know where you're going?"

"I don't, just as long as we don't get found."

"Oh, reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaally smart. How do we get out later?" the younger boy asked sarcastically.

Roxas halted, "Um..."

Neox shook head, "You idiot"

The blonde ran toward a wall and was glad to find that it was an exit. They hid near it, in case they would need to leave, but after looking back at Neox he realized that the boy was no longer next to him. "Neox?" he called out. "Where are you?"

"Over here," Roxas saw the boy come running over to him.

"Come on lets get out of here," Roxas grabbed the younger ones arm and started running. He didn't realize Neox had an evil grin on his face. "I think we lost our identical's," he continued.

"ROXAS NO!" Neox's voice came from behind him.

Roxas turned around as keyblade flew past him, imbedding itself in the other Neox's skull. The blondes mouth dropped open, as the other Neox suddenly faded away. Then Roxas did something unexpected, he summoned his keyblade, "How am I supposed ot know your the real Neox?"

Neox pointed to the one thing the copy didn't have; the cocobolo hairpin in his hair. Roxas sighed, and relaxed. "Ok..." come on lets go before the other me comes alone.

"Shouldn't we wait? It took next to nothing to take out my clone."

"I don't want to get lost in there again. we barely made it out the first time."

"True... Let's go. We need to find the exit to this damn book anyway."

"Book?" Roxas looked confused.

"This diary apparently is cursed."

"You mean we're in Cali's diary?"

"It's the only thing I can think of. I have no clue where she could have gotten a book who's power is equal to that of Zexion's lexicon though… this might even be more powerful."

"I'm never helping you with anything again!" Roxas glared at him.

Neox didn't seem to care, as he just shrugged. They walked toward the ferris wheel. "So how do you think we get out?" Roxas asked

Neox sighed, sitting on a rail. "No clue."

Roxas looked at the fairris wheel, "Maybe if we go up on this we could see where an exit is?"

"Perhaps but how?"

"Well um... how about you go up and I'll use the machine?" Roxas suggested.

"No way! Why do I have to go up there? You go up and I'll do the machine." Neox retorted.

"Why can't you?"

"Because you have no idea how to use that thing, and I might be killed!"

"Do you know how to operate it?"

"No..."

Roxas sighed with frustration, "Fine I'll go up." He gave in, "Just don't kill me."

"I won't," Neox walked toward the control panel, while Roxas stepped into one of the cars. After Neox pressed a few buttons, it went around, stopping when Roxas was at the top, "Do you see anything?" Neox called.

The blonde looked around, "No there's nothing but open land in the distance!"

"Great… what else do you see?" Neox asked sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"Um... a lot of roller coasters…?"

The young boy rolled his eyes, sighing in frustration. "Oh brother... what ELSE!"

"Neox! There's there's nothing around!" Now Roxas was starting to get frustrated himself.

"Damn... Do you see a second exit to this amusement park?"

Roxas looked around, "Yeah there's one over there."

"Great! I'll get you down now!" he pressed the button what would make the wheel move again. But nothing happened. "What the?" he pressed it again.

Still nothing happened, "What's the hold up!" Roxas asked.

"Um... nothing! Just… just a minute!" He smashed the button several more times, then took his keyblade to it. The entire thing smashed and sparked never to be used again. On the upside the thing started moving again, but how were they going to stop it long enough for Roxas to get off.

"... Neox... Why did you break it...?"

"Um..." the boy blushed. "It... can't stop. Your going to have to jump off."

"What! It's going too fast!" Roxas shouted. It was true, when his car got close enough to the ground for a safe jump; barely a few second go by before its too high again.

"You got to try or you stuck for good!"

"All right here it goes!" Roxas reluctantly agreed and got ready to jump when it was at least somewhat safe.

When it got close to the ground, he chickened out and didn't jump. The cart started back up again. "ROXAS!" Neox shouted, curious as to why he didn't jump off.

As the blonde started up again he noticed the clone puppets coming toward them. Neox didn't seem to notice them, and still waited for him. He couldn't see the clones from where he was, "Neox there coming!" Roxas screamed at him.

The silver haired boy blinked and tilted his head, not hearing Roxas. When the cart got low to the ground again. Instead of Roxas jumping out he grabbed Neox's arm. "Ahhh! What the hell are you doing?" Neox screamed in fear, looking at the ground getting further and further away.

"The evil clones are coming!"

"Wha?" Neox looked over and saw the puppets coming right towards them. "LET ME IN! LET ME IN!" he yelped, scrambling inside the carriage.

"What do we do now?" Roxas asked once Neox was safely inside.

"Not sure... maybe they can't come up here?" the moment Neox said his theory Roxas threw his keyblade at the already damaged control panel, breaking it to pieces and stopping the machine with them at the top.

Roxas sighed with relief thinking that they were now safe. "Awesome, they'll never get up here now- WHAT THE HELL!" Neox exclaimed, looking out the carriage window.

The clones were hovering up towards them, flying. Neox jumped at Roxas, squeezing him tightly. "We're going to die! Wear going to die!"

Roxas would have told him to calm down, but was panicking himself. They couldn't get out, and they were now trapped with two clone's coming to kill them. He looked back out onto the field, were the figure controlling the puppets was standing. The figure wasn't there anymore. Roxas pushed Neox off him, "Come on this calls for drastic measures," with that he squeezed out of the carriage and started to climb down the fairs wheel.

Neox watched him and once again tested the portal, groaning when it didn't work before following Roxas. When the older blonde was half way down, his hand slipped and started to fall to the ground. "ROXAS!" Neox cried, but then lost his footing and began falling as well.

Surprisingly they both fell on top of some squishy mattresses. Neox blinked, and looked at it. "What?"

Roxas looked just as confused, "You IDIOTS!" a very familiar voice growled at them.

Both jumped up and looked at none other then Calixa. She was glaring at them. Neox looked up at her and stared. "Cali...?"

"I see you two fell into my trap," now she was smirking.

They looked at each other then roared at her, "WHAT?"

"This is what happens when you try and read my diary. I put a special spell on it, so that anyone who tried to read it would get sucked into this place."

"... You have GOT to be KIDDING ME!" Neox growled in frustration.

"I've always warned you to never read my diary."

"But this is overkill!" Roxas told her, "Besides where in the world did you learn a spell? Bàli teach you?"

"No, I got it out of Zexion's book. I figured out long ago that hiding my diary wasn't enough; Neox was just going to find it. Then I tried making fake dairies to hide everywhere. That sort of worked but it still wasn't enough. Finally I decided that this was the only way."

"Its still overkill!" Neox mumbled.

"Cali how de we get out of here?" Roxas asked.

"Only I can let you out."

"Well let us out," Neox snapped glaring at her.

"I will… If you promise to STOP looking for my diary."

"B-But..."

"PROMISE!"

Neox remained silence, but at a stomp to his foot by Roxas he said "-Ow! Fine."

"Good," Calixa smiled, and then closed her eyes. Neox and Roxas had a feeling of vertigo all of a sudden. Then they were back in Calixa's room, "Whoa... freaky..."

"All right, hope you learned your lesson. Now get out of my room, I need to shower."

Both stared at her and then slowly left. As soon as they were out, Roxas glared at Neox. "We were almost killed because of you!"

"Now now Roxas... C-calm down..." The blonde just continued to glare death at him, and Neox gulped. "Should I run...?"

"One..." Roxas started counting, which meant that it was time to run. Neox took the hint and sped off running, "THREE!" Roxas screamed ran after Neox keyblade drawn.
