Chapter 34
Neox sat in on Calixa's bed, watching her as she sat cross-legged mediating. He had absolutely no idea why she was doing that. He waited awhile and finally shouted, "You can't float!"
She glared at him, "I'm not trying to, Vexen says that I have high blood pressure so I need to relax more."
The girl huffed in anger, "That's it," she jumped at him and the two started wrestling on the floor. Neox, being smaller and younger, ended up pinned down on his stomach. Calixa stuck a finger in her mouth then pushed it in his ear giving the boy a wet willie. "Ahhhh!" Neox screamed. "Ewww! Gross!" he struggled to shake her off.
She just laughed evilly at him, and Neox eventually lost all ability to fight back and was panting with her still on his back. "Now scram, before someone starts hassling me about needing to relax."
"Like that'll ever happen," Neox muttered as he left.
"You better hope it does, according to Vexen high blood pressure at my age could kill me," she replied even though she knew that Neox was already gone and didn't hear her.
Later on that day, Neox was sitting with Calixa again, this time in the Gray area. "I'm bored," Calixa announced.
"Read" Neox replied, since that was what he was doing.
"But reading is boring," she replied then shifted to lay on her stomach on the couch.
Neox looked over at her and smirked as he saw his chance for revenge. She didn't seem to notice, for she wasn't even looking at him just playing with a thread strand on a pillow. Neox suddenly jumped down on her back, and she screeched in surprised. Neox struggled with her and somehow ended up pinned down on his stomach again. But he soon noticed that she was breathing heavily and little beads of sweat were forming on her brow. She let Neox up and leaned back against the couch's back in exhaustion.
"Cali?" he asked walking to her, "You ok?"
"Yeah..." she replied still breathing hard, "Just a little tired."
"I'm going to get Vexen."
"No its fine, please don't. He'll yell at me because I'm not supposed to be roughhousing."
"But you were which you weren't supposed to do and it probably hurt your health."
"No it didn't, high blood pressure is only bad when you have heart, which I don't. I don't know why he's so worried about it, its not like I'm going to have a heart attack or something."
Neox then dropped an open book onto her lap, "What's this?" she asked.
"A book on what blood pressure can do to you."
Calixa grabbed the book and starting skimming it, "Let me see, heart attack, heart failure, heart, heart, heart," she then slammed the book closed in frustration, "There nothing in here that can harm me. Please Neox I promise to be more careful and not over exert myself. Just don't tell Vexen." she gave him puppy eyes.
She grabbed the book adn starting skimming it, "Let me see, heart attack, heart failuar, heart, heart, heart," she then slammed the book closed in frustration, "There nothing in here that can harm me. Please Neox I promise to be more careful and not over exsert myself. Just dont tell Vexen." she then gave him puppy eyes.
Neox sighed, "Fine."
"Thanks," she sighed with relief and laid down, "I just need to take it easy. I'll rest for right now."
"Okay but don't forget the sleepover we planned with the others."
"How could I forget that, do you still have the plans?" She asked excitedly.
"Yeah!" Neox replied "Meet me in the attic."
"I thought I was supposed to be resting?"
"Its a sleepover. You can rest when we get to the attic. Xero knows how to open the door up there."
"Ok lets go," she got up slowly.
Neox gently pushed her back down, "Pack what you'll need for a sleepover first. We'll meet in an hour."
Calixa arrived at the attack an hour later, looking better then before, holding a sleeping bad and a backpack. Neox was there waiting, his organization coat over his shoulder. Probably due to the heat, "Ok I got the stuff, you got the plans?" Calixa asked him.
"Yeah, we just got to wait for the others."
"Great," she replied enthusiastically and then took off her own organization coat and started unrolling her sleeping bag.
Soon, Xero, Xion, Roxas, Bàli and Axel came up and joined them. Everyone started unrolling there sleeping bags. Xero smirked when they finished, "Everyone ready to go in the secret room?" Bàli smirked after hearing that, obviously already knowing why it was secret. Everyone else nodded, "Ok lets go," Xero said and led the way.
Xero put his hand on the high tech lock as everyone gathered around to watch. Sand started to slither into the lock hole, and a moment later there was a click and the lock fell to the ground. Everyone whistled, impressed. Neox however didn't, and walked in with the rest. "Its empty for miles in here!" he shouted.
Everyone else except for Bàli and Xero were confused also. Xero closed the door and walked over to a large bag was that leaned against the wall, "Here."
"Brah!" Neox barely caught the large snowboard Xero tossed him.
Number eighteen, then passed out snowboards to everyone except Bàli who would never do such a guy thing. "A snow board? This is your big secret?" Calixa asked sounding like she thought he was kidding.
With a smirk, Xero pressed a button to make a small part of the wall open to reveal a control panel. After pressing a series of buttons, the room lit up green. A moment later, it got very cold as they were now standing on top of a huge snow covered hill with snow blowing all around them. "AWSOME!" Calixa shouted.
"Okay mates!" Xero announced. "First one to the bottom wins, last ones got to prank the pyro!"
"Go Xero, I know that ya willa win," Bàli shouted, she was obviously going to be the cheerleader tonight.
Soon enough everyone was racing down the hill, Roxas in the lead, "Yahoo!" Roxas shouted happily, "I'm king of the woooorld!"
Xero passed him. "Now who's top dog boyo?" he shouted smugly but was soon passed by Neox, was having some trouble controlling his snowboard, not having much practice since he had never been to Christmas town.
This resulted in him falling back in the snow and everyone passed him up as he rolled down the hill. Calixa was having just as much trouble, actually worse since she fell down almost right after getting started. Xero came in first, Roxas second, Xion third, and Neox and Calixa were bringing up the rear. Neox came in forth and Calixa last, who made a scene by falling on her face as soon as she reached the bottom. When the orange haired girl got up she noticed that there was blood on the snow.
"Ripper!" Xero shouted, laughing, "Looks like you got to prank Axel Cali!"
Neox looked over at Calixa, "Cali your noise is bleeding."
The girl touched her face, and felt warm blood dripping from her nose. "Oh damn," she tilted her head back, "Does anyone have a tissue?"
Neox opened a portal and a box of tissues fell out. He handed one to Calixa who accepted it and put it to her nose. Everyone had a feeling of vertigo as the room returned to normal, "That was so fun," Xion said.
"Yeah!" Roxas agreed. "What else can it do?"
Xero smirked, "Anywhere you want."
"That's so cool," Roxas said.
"Where do ya want to go?" Xero asked.
"I feel like Chinese food, lets go to land of the dragons," Xion announced.
"Ok then, lets go," the orange haired boy, turned to the control panel.
"Ok just wait until this nose bleed stops, I don't think it would work out very well with blood going everywhere," Calixa announced sounding a little nasal since she was pinching her nose.
They waited another fifteen minutes, but it still hadn't stopped. Neox had started to bite his thumb nail, showing his nervousness. "It should have stopped by now, maybe something wrong," Xero suggested, being the oldest he took charge of acting like the responsible adult.
Neox stood after hearing this "I'm going to get Zexion!"
"Yeah maybe you should do that," Xero agreed noticing how pale the girl was starting to look.
Neox teleported out, and a few minutes later, he came back with Zexion who was in his pajama's.
Xero, Xion Roxas and Bàli had to hold their laughter, as they had never seen him in pajama's before. Zexion shot them a warning glare, and then approached Calixa. The girl was started to get light headed from blood loss and was only vaguely aware that Zexion came by. He lifted her up in his arms and looked back at them. "I'm taking her to number four."
Calixa's head swam as he lifted her, "Oohhh careful Zexion, don't make me throw up," she groaned.
Zexion teleported out; Neox wanted to follow, but decided to stay with the others and go to other worlds. Though the night wasn't very fun anymore, they all still had Calixa in the back of there minds hoping she was ok. They eventually all decided to go to bed. In the middle of the night, Neox sat up. He looked around, thinking he was the only one awake. Unknown to him, so was a certain Scott.
Bàli lied in her sleeping bag thinking. Neox shifted, making some noise, and standing up. The girl looked over at him, debating with herself on weather she should ask what he's doing. "What are ye doin?" Bàli finally decided to ask as he headed toward the door.
"YIPE!" Neox yelped in surprise, and then looked back at her. "What are you doing up?" he asked with a glare.
"Couldna sleep," the blonde replied with a shrug.
"Well mind your own business," Neox snapped, and continued out of the room. Bàli just shrugged and laid back down, too lazy to follow him.
Neox tip toed down the stairs, and once he landed on the last step he took off in a sprint. The boy didn't stop running until he reached Vexen's lab. Grabbing the knob, he slowly opened the door, holding his breath, praying that Vexen wouldn't wake up. He slipped though the door and headed toward the medical center, "Calixa!" he whispered slightly loud. "Calixa!"
"...Neox," said a very groggy voice.
He ran directly into the room that the voice came from and lookd around, "Cali?"
She was lying in a bed, looking pretty healthy much to the boys surprise. He stared at her and then walked over, "What the hell?"
"What?" she asked him.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were sick! Or dying! Or hurt! But here you are looking perfectly healthy! What's the act?" the boy asked.
"It wasn't an act, once Vexen got my nose to stop bleeding he drew some blood and said I had to stay the night," she looked annoyed. "I tried to tell him I was ok to leave but he insisted."
"Well why?"
"Who knows...?"
"Well I think you can leave now. Get outta that bed and-"
"She cannot leave," an icy cold voice said from the door.
"Oh boy..." they both said, sweat starting to form on their foreheads.
Vexen was standing behind them, "Ha ha hi Vexen," Calixa laughed nervously.
Neox opened a portal but was grabbed by his hand. Calixa had stopped him, "What are you doing?" the boy asked her.
"I'm not letting you leave to let me take the heat."
"Get off!" Neox managed to wiggle away and ran though a portal.
"Damn brat...' Calixa growled.
ORGANIZATIONDAYS
The next morning Vexen was talking to Calixa about her blood test results, "Number sixteen, I have found the reason your blood pressure is so high."
"What is it?" the girl asked, ready to leave.
"Because your on a high fat and calorie diet."
"... Huh?" she asked, not sure what that meant exactly.
"Tell me what you normally eat during a day?"
Calixa thought for a moment then spoke, "Um... like hamburgers, and French fries, bacon, sausage, pork, refried beans, fried rice, fried chicken, Chinese food, Japanese food, pizza. And for desert, I like eating chocolate cake, and deep fried Twinkies."
Vexen stared at her in complete disbelief, "A diet with that much high fat and grease isn't good for you. How much fruit and vegetables do you eat?"
"... Fried vegetables count?"
Vexen actually face palmed, "No they don't count."
"Then none at all."
"I am putting you on a special diet."
Calixa's blood ran cold, "Diet? What? No way!"
"Yes your meals will be monitored, expect less greasy food and more grains fruits and vegetables."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Roxas looked up, "Is that Calixa?"
"I think it is…" Xion replied. "Wonder what's eating her."
ORGANIZATIONDAYS
Neox was sitting in the kitchen waiting for lunch. He hadn't seen Calixa all day, "I'm concerned... where is she?" he asked worriedly.
Despite his hungry tummy, the boy decided to go and find her. "CALI!" he called, looking around. No answer came, "Calixa!"
There was still no answer, so Neox decided ot try her room. He knocked on the door, and then walked in to find Calixa lying on her bed. There you are!" he said, walking over, "Where have you been?"
She looked at him, sat up, got off the bed, and then grabbed him. She dug her fist into the top of Neox's head giving him a noogie. "You left me behind!" she growled, referring to the fact that he just left her with Vexen and ran away.
"Ow, ow, ow, owowow, OW I'm sorry!" he yelled trying to struggle away.
"Give me one reason not to give you the worst wedgie of your life?" she asked, glaring at him.
"Um... because I'm your friend?"
"Wrong!" Calixa said, forcing him to the ground on his stomach and then moving his coat out of the way.
"No please I'll never leave you again!"
Calixa ignored him and a scream was heard from the room, resounding around the entire castle. Roxas looked up from his lunch, "Neox and Calixa torture each other again," he said rolling his eyes and went back to his food.
Xion looked at him, looking at him with a string of ramen hanging from her mouth. "What do you think she did this time?" she asked with her mouth full.
"Not sure," Roxas shrugged.
Calixa let go and Neox's underpants with a snap. The boy yelped and got up, trying to adjust his underwear. "Owwww! That hurt! A lot!" he whined.
"That was the point," the carrot head glared.
"I said sorry!"
"Well you'll never guess what Vexen's making me do!"
"What's he making you do? Release your anger on my innocence?" he asked sarcastically.
"No he's making me go on a low fat diet!"
Neox burst into a fit of laughter, making Calixa glare at him. "I-I'm sorry but... diets are for fat people!"
"Are you saying that I'm fat!" she looked ready to sock him.
"No! No, no! I'm saying that must be what VEXEN'S saying!"
"Grrrr! That's it your in for another wedgie!"
"No! Please! Have mercy!" he begged, trying to run. Another wail sounded though the castle.
