Chapter 41
Bàli was sitting with her newly joined younger sister, Xacrrie. Neox and Calixa were playing in the same area, though Neox seemed to have his attention on something else. Calixa looked up from her prank book, "What's with you today."
He was looking over at Bàli and her sister again. Sure he hated Bàli, but her sister looked pretty nice. It wasn't long before Bàli took notice of his watchful eyes, "Wat?" she asked.
He quickly came up with an excuse, but the only thing he could think of was insulting her. "You just looked so ugly that I couldn't keep my eyes off you." That was a mistake, because Xacrrie glared at him.
She stood up and stomped over to where he and Calixa were sitting. "Vostede idiota gordo e mal, o que fixo para ti?" she asked.
Neox blinked, "Trist me, ye don wanna know what she said," Bàli replied then scolded her sister in Gaelic, "Isto foi moi groseiro, agora di que está arrepentido."
Neox stared, blushing lightly. The two Scottish girls jabbered off in there first language, Bàli's voice remained quite calm while her sisters was strained and angry. She kept giving Neox and Calixa poisonous looks. Neox stood up and looked at Xacrrie, and she glared at him, "Bastardo de un idiota"
"Carrie!" Bàli shouted in horror.
"Well you're... P- p- pretty!" he yelled at her. He realized what he said and ran out of the room.
Xacrrie stared blankly at where he was just standing, and Cali got to her feet. "Wat a jerk," Xacrrie said.
Cali glared at her, "What do you know? You're too dumb to realize a compliment!"
The younger blonde lunged at her. Calixa and her struggled for a bit before Calixa had her pinned facedown. Bàli jumped up and went to pull the carrot head off her, but Calixa pushed the older girl away and thought of what to do to Xacrrie. While the red head was thinking, Xacrrie managed to get her off by bucking up and making the Calixa fall back. She landed on her back getting the air knocked out of her, this gave the Scottish girl time to jump on top of her, and start punching her in the face.
Calixa grabbed her fists and threw her off. She then pinned Xacrrie's hands behind her back, so that she could only move her head. "Solte- me seu idiota!" Xacrrie shouted.
Calixa flipped the younger girl on her belly again, keeping her immobile and smirked. She was suddenly thrown off by some unknown force. The carrot head was smashed up against the wall seven feet in the air. "What the-" she asked in confusion. Bàli then grabbed her sisters arm and dragged her out of the room, a few moments later the force that kept Calixa elevated vanished.
She fell to the ground hard, "Ow!"
Hours later, Xacrrie was walking down a hallway by herself. She had gotten lost again, why the castle was so big, was beyond her. She came to a door marked XV. It made her think of his sweet comment that she was pretty, but it still didn't make up what he said about her sister. Anyone that hated Colombia was an enemy to her. But maybe she was a bit harsh. With a sigh she decided to at least apologize, and leave it at that.
She knocked, and a few moments later Neox opened the door, "Hello?"
"Look, I'm sorra," she told him.
Neox blushed deep and started stammering non comprehendible words. Xacrrie just shook her head, and held up a hand to silence him. "Yah wateva tis fine," she said then turned her heels and continued walking down the hallway.
He hurriedly said something without thinking, "Y- Your butt is cute!" he called after her then covered his mouth.
Xacrrie stopped in her tracks, and then turned around sending a poisonous glare at him. "Jist wat da ya mean by 'at?"
"Uh..."
She stomped over to the boy and got right in his face, "I know wat ya are, ye are a racist. 'Ats why ya hate mi sista, an dats why ya mak rude comments tae me. Jist because wera scottish ya hate'us, ya sucha babaca!"
I'm sorry ok!" he said, eyes filling with tears. "I just... I just…" he didn't even finish the sentence, just slammed the door shut. Xacrrie shook her head, and then stomped away muttering darkly in Gaelic.
Later on at lunch, Xacrrie was sitting with her sister and Xero. Calixa was sitting with a depressed looking Neox, giving ferocious glares at the two blondes. Xacrrie had been telling Bàli about her encounter with Neox, speaking in Gaelic so no one except them knew it. "What's she saying?" Xero asked Bàli for the 10th time.
"Noten hun," Bàli replied giving him a peck on the lips.
He seemed satisfied for the moment and started eating. "Just forget about it, you probably shouldn't be hanging out with them anyway because they always got into trouble," Bàli told her speaking Gaelic. Neox suddenly stood up, and lifted the organization hood over his head.
"Excuse me..." he announced, leaving.
No one had taken notice of his retreat, not even Calixa who was engrossed in her turkey mustard and avocado sandwich. Neox had gone to his room and was now majorly angsting into his pillow. A sudden knock was at his door, obviously not Calixa because she never knocked. "What do you want!" he called.
The door opened and Zexion came in, "Neox, I was wondering why you are acting so depressed when we have no emotions?"
Neox turned away and put a pillow over his head. A certain passerby decided to eavesdrop, and that person was Calixa who had been heading toward Neox's room to find out where he went from lunch. "Just leave me alone!" Neox groaned.
"Not until you give an explanation. If you don't then the Superior will eventually give you a lecture on having no emotions, because you're slacking off."
Neox looked at Zexion, face was turning red with rage, "ZEXION GO AWAY! JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE ME ALONE! JUST GOOOO!" the boy exploded.
The Cloaked Schemer sighed and finally left the room. Neox fell into sobs and Calixa took this as her queue to walk into the room. The silver haired boy was crying hard into his hands, "Neox?" she asked calmly.
He looked up, teary eyed. "Did you find a heart, and not tell me?" Calixa asked.
He just looked away, and continued crying. Calixa meant that to be a joke to lighten the mood, and since it didn't work she was at a loss of what to do next. "Wat's with 'im?" a young voice came from the door.
Calixa turned to see who it was. It was the newest member, "How should I know?" Calixa replied, and then sent a glare at her. "Not that it's any of your business."
Xacrrie looked taken aback but shrugged and continued on her way. "N- no! COME BACK!" Neox called after her loudly, but she was already through a portal and didn't hear him.
"What do you want her to come back for?" Calixa asked in disbelief. The boy didn't answer, but just broke down crying again. "What's with you, ever since she came, you've been acting weird."
Neox looked up at her, wiped his tears away, pulled his knees to his chest and began explaining. Calixa sat on the edge of his bed and listened, as Neox explained how he felt toward Xacrrie and how upset he was about her hating him. Calixa, never being one for sympathetic understanding, looked at him like he was crazy. "Neox, she's Bàli's sister. We can barely understand there English! You know that right?"
"I don't caaaaare!" he whined like a child.
"Ok, ok fine," the red haired girl finally decided to give in and help. "So why don't you just go and talk to her?"
"What if I say the wrong thing?"
Calixa shrugged, "I don't know, then your screwed I guess."
"Cali your sympathy is endless isn't it," Neox's voice dripped with sarcasm.
"I am what I am; would you just hurry and get it done so I can get the old Neox back?"
The silver haired boy sighed with frustration. Calixa wouldn't know tact if it beat her on the head, probably because it wouldn't penetrate that thick skull. He stood up, "We need pro help."
"And where do we find that, got the love guru on speed dial or something?"
"Don't you still have that love tips book?"
"What love tips book?"
"Cali what do you think a book called 'How to get your Honey' is about?"
"About bee keeping?"
Neox grabbed her arm, and started dragging her to her room. "And Zexion says I need school more than you…"
When they arrived at her room, Neox went to the bookshelf, nearly tripping on a pile of clothes. "You need to clean this junk heap, Cali."
"Like your rooms any better."
He raised an eyebrow as she pictured his organized room which was always clean because Zexion made him clean it weekly. He knew that and so did Calixa. "Just shut up," she finally said even though Neox didn't even say anything.
Neox smirked and grabbed the book he was looking for. Calixa followed him as he walked out reading the book. "So what are we looking for exactly?" Calixa asked.
"How I can confess my love to Xacrrie," the boy explained simply.
"You could just use the Cali method."
"What would that be?"
"Just walk up to her and say, 'I love you'"
Neox sighed, "That never works."
"I've matched more couples then years you've been alive," Calixa gloated.
"Have any stayed together?"
"Not sure, they all gave me a restraining order before I could find out." Neox raised an eyebrow at her. "Fine we can go by the book," Calixa agreed before he could say what he was thinking.
With a shake of his head, Neox turned to the first page and read it aloud
"In order to confess your love, you must first…"
"Do what?" Calixa asked in shock.
"Oh god..." Neox a look of disgust passed Neox's facial features.
"I say you stick with the Cali method."
"No... The book was written by someone pro!"
"Well good luck with that," Calixa turned to leave, not wanting any part in this.
Neox on the other hand, had other plans and grabbed her sleeve. "No you don't, you got to help me," he said.
"No way!"
"Please!" the boy begged.
Why?"
"Because you're my friend," he gave her puppy eyes, which she could never resist.
"Oh man... fine, I'll help," she sighed in defeat.
"Thanks!" Neox squealed giving her a hug, then turned to the book again. "Ok so how are we going to do this?"
Calixa snatched the book out of his hands, "Why don't we leave that chapter as a last resort, and start with chapter one?" she suggested.
The silver haired boy looked back at the book, and grimaced . "Yeah maybe you're right," he agreed as she turned to the beginning of the book.
She read aloud, while Neox listened intently. "Chapter one, getting your Honey to notice you," she read the title chapter. "The very first step in getting your Honey, is you must get him or her to notice that you exist. That's not always the easiest thing, especially if you're a nobody-"
"Wow, someone wrote this book especially for us," Neox commented.
"Shut up and let me read," Calixa snapped. "So what you have to do is, make him or her see that you care."
"I've tried complimenting her, but she only got offended."
"What did you say?"
"I said that I thought her butt was cute." This only resulted in Calixa bursting into giggles, making the younger nobody blush madly. "Stop it!" he yelled
"Ok, ok," her laughter dissolved, but it was obvious she was struggling to keep from laughing.
"So what I do I do?"
Calixa thought for a moment, "Why don't you go and buy her something?"
"Like what?"
"Like flowers and chocolate."
"Good idea!"
"I try."
Xacrrie was in the Gray Area, sitting on the floor with her back against the couch, and Bàli was sitting on the couch braiding her hair. Neox walked in carrying a heart shaped box, and a bundle of roses. He approached the two blondes cautiously, "Um Xacrrie…"
"The younger girl looked at him, "Wat da ya want?" she asked coldly.
He started shaking, and blurted out the first thing that came to mind, "Your hair looks pretty like that!"
Xacrrie looked stunned, "But tis not eva finish't yet."
Now in a deep panic, the next thing he said all came out very fast, "Igottheseforyou," after saying this he gave her the stuff he bought, and Bàli burst into hysterical giggles. Neox blushed deep red, and ran from the room.
Neox ran past Calixa who was waiting just outside the Gray Area, and didn't stop running until he reached his room. The boy went in, closed the door and locked it. Calixa ran up to the door and started banging on it, "Neox let me in this instant?"
"Go away!"
"Let me in or I'll make you go deaf."
"I don't care!"
Loud deafening drums suddenly sounded. "fine!" he opened the door and glared at her.
She walked in without being invited, "Ok what happened?"
He explained how he choked up, and what happened after he gave he presents. Once he was finished he sat down crying. "Who cares if that annoying bagpipe blower laughed at you? She's not the one you're trying to impressed."
"But- "
"Ok let's just go look at the book again, unless you want to try the Cali method now?"
Neox held out his hand, "Book please."
She handed it to him, and Neox he flipped to chapter two. "It says that after you have tempted her with gifts, you must then make her want you. Jealousy is a helpful tactic… but what would make her..." he trailed off looking at Calixa.
"Why are you looking at me that way?" Calixa asked, and Neox slowly smirked. "You're giving me the hebi gebi's."
"APSOLUTLY NOT!" Calixa screamed, after Neox suggested his idea.
"Why not?"
"Your seriously asking me why?"
"Yes. It makes perfect sense!"
"I'm not going to pretend to be your girlfriend, do you realize how 'wrong' that is. Awkward level ten!"
"Why?"
"Becuase we're not in love!"
"It's pretend."
"And while we're pretending, we're going to have to do all the stuff boyfriends and girlfriends do together, like kiss. I'll throw up in your mouth."
Neox gave her puppy eyes, "Not going to work."
"Come on."
"No!"
"Please."
"No!"
"It won't be for very long."
"Neox!"
"Fine, then I'll tell everyone about the clown incident."
"You wouldn't!"
"HEY EVERYONE! ONE TIME ON A MISSION CALI- "
She slapped a hand over his mouth, "Ok, ok, I'll do it," she gave in with a frustrated sigh;
Later on that day, Neox and Calixa walked into the gray area hand in hand. As this was a very unusual sight, all heads turned to them. "Um... you guys have something to tell us?" Axel asked.
Both of them flushed red, and Neox spoke. "We're um... together now," he said awkwardly.
Cali looked around at everyone's raised eyebrows, "That's it I'm out of here," she tired to turn around and make a run for it, but Neox wouldn't let go of her arm and pulled her back.
"No you don't," he hissed, and everyone gave them weird looks.
Cali glared furiously at Neox, "We're not-" she was quickly cut off as Neox stomped on her foot.
The girl yelped and became quiet. "What are you all looking at?" Neox asked glaring, but still dragging Calixa by the hand toward the table and sat down next to her. The entire kitchen suddenly buzzed with talk.
Xacrrie was staring at them, and actually started to feel a bit upset. Calixa's face was burning with embarrassment. Neox so owed her for this. "Sis, can I talk to you about something?" Xacrrie asked Bàli in Gaelic, who was making out with Xero.
The older blonde girl broke away from Xero and turned to look at her sister. "What about Carrie?" she asked also speaking in there first langue.
Xero gave a groan and pouted, but Xacrrie ignored him. "In private…" she said, gesturing that she wanted to leave the room.
"Aye, ok" Bàli agreed and turned to Xero, slipping back into English. "We'll be bak lata hun."
"Awww," Xero groaned but complied and began to eat.
The two Scotts left the kitchen, and when they reached the privacy for the empty hallway the younger blonde started. "I need to talk to you about... love." Xaccrie said, unsurely.
"Love?" Bàli asked with confusion, "You're too young to work about love," Bàli replied.
"But... I think I have a crush on someone here. But I think he's taken…" Xaccrie said, a slight sad tone appearing in her voice.
"Your talking about Neox?" Bàli asked her, easily coming to that conclusion since it was painfully obvious what Neox and Calixa were doing. She was just surprised her sister fell for it.
"I DID NOT SAY THAT!" Xacrrie shouted defensively, though the blush on her face showed that Bàli was right.
The older girl was silent for a moment. She did love her sister, but something like this doesn't happen everyday. So instead of ratting out on Neox and Calixa she decided to play along figuring that it would be more fun to do so. "Well it looks like yer rite, 'e an Calixa seem tae have hooked up," she said talking in English again.
"Th-that's the problem!" Xac said, peeking into the room at them.
Neox leaning against Calixa's shoulder both were still holding hands. "Grrr... it makes me so angry!" Xacrrie said, glaring at the red head.
Bàli just shook her head; it was so obvious at Calixa not well hidden furious look that the two were putting on an act. And she had a pretty good idea as too why, "Well you should do something about it."
Xacrrie looked in once more, then took her boot off and threw it as hard as she could at Calixa's head. "Ouch!" Calixa screamed rubbing her head and looking around glaring.
Neox snickered while Xacrrie smirked and stopped looking in the room. The carrot head wheeled around on Neox and gave him a looking that clearly said. 'If we were really dating you wouldn't be laughing.'
The boy didn't catch the look at all and just kept laughing. Calixa then kicked his chair out from under him, making him fall onto his bottom, before teleporting out of the room. Neox fell to the ground and rubbed his butt, groaning. "W-Wait Cali come back!" he called suddenly realizing that this didn't look good for them.
Neox went directly to Calixa's room, which was most likely where she went. Sure enough as soon as he walked into the room, without knocking, he heard the bathroom door slam. He walked over and pounded bathroom door. "Cali would you please come out?"
"No! Go away!"
"You want to help me get Xacrrie to like me, right?"
"I don't want it that badly."
"But Cali!"
"No!"
"Come out, or I'll tell everyone about the flower shop incident on our last mission," Neox threatened.
"... You wouldn't dare!"
"Wanna bet."
"... fine!" the redhead opened the door and immediately hit Neox on his head with a rolled up newspaper.
"Ouch!" Neox rubbed his head and glared; but only for a moment before he continued in a business like tone. "Ok I think we need to take this to the next level."
"Take it where? What the hell do you plan on doing exactly?"
"Lets look at the book," Neox walked over and picked up the 'how to get your honey' book and flipped through it.
Calixa watched him and waited patiently, despite having a bad feeling about the next plan. The boy read out loud, "Once your honey knows that you are no longer available, she should now show the signs of jealousy, but will try and hide it..."
"... She's not hiding anything, she's just not attracted to you." Neox gave her a look of deep offence. "What?" she asked, "She doesn't."
Neox closed the book slowly and looked down depressed. Tears started to leak from his eyes. "No! No, no, no! Wait! I didn't mean that!" Calixa said, opening the book and quickly flipping through the pages.
"Yes you did..."
"No I didn't! Look! If you see no signs of the feelings, then try to make it obvious. See Neox?" she said, putting the page up to his face.
Neox looked at it, then his eyes widened. "I know what we have to do."
"... What?" Calixa asked, worriedly.
Neox looked at her seriously, "He have to... to kiss."
"Goodbye!" Calixa said, turning to run out of the room.
"Wait!" he grabbed her arm to stop her. "Cali we have to, the book said we have to make it obvious. How much more obvious can we get?"
"I don't want to find out!" she cried.
"Please!"
"No way, Neox!"
"What can I do to make you do this?"
"Nothing! I don't want to kiss you!"
"I'm not saying we have to do what Bàli and Xero do, where there trying to eat each other's faces. I'm saying we just kiss on the lips really quick while she's in the room."
"Cheek."
"B-But…"
"But nothing!" Calixa growled. "If anything, that's the MOST!"
Neox sighed with defeat, "Fine, but if it doesn't work then we have to do the lips."
"Whatever," Calixa sighed, standing up.
"Ok let's go into the grey area, and see if Xacrrie is there."
"Fine," Calixa said, opening a portal.
They both walked though, and reappeared in the grey area. Xacrrie was there, sitting on the ground with her back against the couch. Bàli sat on the couch behind the younger blonde, putting her hair up in a French Braid again. Neox grabbed Calixa's arm and pulled over to the couch that was near by where they two blondes were sitting. Xacrrie looked over at them instantly, and pretended to be angry with Neox.
Neox also pretended not to notice this, and wrapped his arm around Calixa's shoulders when they sat down bringing the carrot head closer to him. Calixa restrained herself from groaning and kissed Neox on his cheek. Anger swelled inside Xacrrie's being, but she held it back. Neox was blushing madly and kissed Calixa's cheek. Calixa herself felt like she was going to throw up.
It became all to much for Xacrrie, she snatched the hairbrush from her sister and threw it, hitting the back of Calixa's head. "Ouch!" Calixa cried out glaring at Neox.
Knowing that to make it more real, he would have to defend his girlfriend. "What was that for?" he asked Xacrrie.
Xacrrie quickly thought of an excuse, but didn't manage to think of one. "B-because... Because... BECAUSE!" She shouted, before teleporting away.
Neox looked at Calixa, "It didn't work," he whispered to her. Calixa rubbed the back of her head and glared fiercer at him. "You know what we have to do now," Neox continued.
"... Yes Zexion? Coming!" Calixa said, opening a portal and jumping through.
Neox tried to grab her but she was too fast. "You can't hide forever!" he called.
Bàli who was still in the room watched this with amusement. As soon as Neox left, she burst out laughing, rolling on the floor. Xero teleported into the room, "What's with you?" he asked his with raised eyebrows. Bàli looked at him then got to her feet, explaining everything that was happening. Xero looked amused also, "Should we do something about it?" he asked.
"Like wat?"
"I don't know, I'm just thinking that this could end badly."
"Och, wat's the worst 'at could 'appen?"
"You never want to mess with love; feelings can be hurt, even if there not real." Bàli just shrugged, and Xero wrapped his arms around her and drew the blonde into a kiss.
Elsewhere, Calixa was glaring at Neox. "I said no and I mean no!" Calixa was shouting at him.
"But Cali," Neox tried to reason with her. "It's the only way."
"I almost threw up when you kissed me on the cheek; I will throw up if you kiss me on the lips!"
Neox groaned, "But Xac didn't-"
"No! I refuse!"
"But-"
"No!"
"FINE! Then I'll cry!"
"Not going to work, I have no heart so I won't feel anything."
Neox stared at her and then kicked her in her knee before leaving the room quickly.
"Ouch!" she cried out jumping up and down on one foot while holding the other.
Neox walked down the hallway, thinking deeply. How was he going to convince Calixa to help him now, he thought as he walked, not paying any attention to where he was going. This resulted in him running into someone very large and tall. Neox fell onto his butt and looked up. "Watch where your going kid," Xigbar snapped glaring down on him.
"Oh great, you old ass," Neox said, rolling his eyes. He got to his feet. "What the hell are you doing skulking around anyway?" The older nobody just shrugged. "You're going to scare somebody with that ugly face of yours," Neox said bluntly, walking past him.
Xigbar suddenly appeared on the ceiling in front of Neox, one of his guns out pointing at the boys face. In the same instant, Neox's keyblade was on Xigbar's chin, the sharp tip of the blade touching the sharpshooter's throat. "Wats goin on here?" Bàli and Xero had shown up and was staring at the two who looked ready to kill each other.
Neox and Xigbar continued to stared at each other before their weapons clashed, both jumping backwards and dashing toward the other. "Bàli do something!" Xero said summoning his boomerang and tossing it, and then waved his hand and the boomerang dissolved into a wave of sand.
The sand turned into a wall that went between them. Neox hit it with his keyblade and it was trapped. The boy pulled on the keyblade trying to get it unstuck, and Xigbar's bullets had no effect on the wall. Neox jumped back and looked at Xero, while Xigbar just left grumbling. Xero dropped the wall of sand, now knowing that it was safe to. Neox looked at Xero, then Bàli, and smiled. A thought suddenly crossed his mind. He shouldn't be relying on a book. He should ask someone with experience. "Hey Xero, can I ask you something?"
"Sure mate, what is it?" Xero asked, walking over to him.
Neox looked over at Bàli, "Um... alone."
Bàli took the hint and rolled her eyes before walking off. "So what's up?" he asked the boy again.
"I need to know how to impress a girl," Neox said bluntly.
"Oh that's easy, it's all with the hair," Xero replied simply.
"Excuse me?"
Xero moved his head in a way that made his hair swish around, "The hair is your best friend, watch this." Xero did it again, just as Xion and Roxas were passing by and Xion turned around to look back at Xero, only for a moment then kept going.
Neox gave him a confused look. "Its something you understand with age, your too young to understand yet. Sheila's dig the hair," Xero did the move again just as Larxene was passing making her look over at Xero as well.
"Wow… its like mind control!" Neox said in awe.
"Yep, you got the equipment; you just got to read the manual."
"Ok, thanks Xero," Neox said gratefully, then teleported to his room.
Calixa was there waiting for him. Neox looked at her and folded his arms. "Well hello," he greeted coldly.
"Look Neox," she started apologetically, "I-"
"Save it!" She shut her mouth looking hurt. "You abandoned me, you... you... you abandoner!"
"Are you telling me that you wanted to kiss me?" Calixa asked.
"I don't need to now. I got taught the real way to get girls." Neox said, casually doing the hair flips that he had seen Xero do.
Calixa looked at him weirdly, "What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"That thing with your head?"
"That is my secret weapon."
"Well your secret weapon makes you look like an idiot," she said in a blunt voice worthy of Bàli.
"..." Neox stared at her for a few seconds.
Calixa raised her hands in surrender, "Ok, ok, maybe your right. Who showed you that anyway?"
"Xero."
Calixa nodded slowly, "Well I guess that's why he got Bàli," she commented, more so insulting Bàli then complimenting Xero.
Neox then decided to take a pang. A blow to the ego or soul, "You're just upset because there's absolutely nobody in this Organization for you."
This backfired on Neox however because Calixa just scoffed and laughed, "Like I want to be dating anyone."
"Or like you could get anyone to date," Neox mumbled.
Calixa was actually hurt by this statement but she covered it up extremely well. "That's good, its means I'm doing my job," she told him coldly.
"Yeah, sure." Neox said, waving her off. "Now, let's go find Xac!"
She followed Neox, glaring at that back of his head. They walked straight to the grey area, unfortunately Xacrrie wasn't there. So Neox headed toward her room. The boy was about the knock on her door when Calixa grabbed his hand stopping him. "What are you doing to do, walk in there, do the head thing, then leave? How's that going to look?" she asked him.
Neox thought about this for a moment. "Ok you go in there and figure out a way to her to come out, then when you two pass me I'll do the hair thing."
"Wait, what? Why me?"
"Because your here, and you said you'll help me."
Calixa groaned and hit her head on the door, "Damn you!"
Neox ran down the hallway, while Calixa knocked on the door. Xacrrie opened the door and almost shut it back as soon as she saw Calixa. But the older girl was ready for this and put her foot in the doorway to stop it from shutting. "Wat do ye want?" Xacrrie asked, trying to force the door shut.
"Um... your sister needs help in the gray area, Xero and... Demyx are trying to kill each other."
"Demyx, the water boy? He can't fight!"
"Which is why we need to stop Xero, come on hurry."
"Fine." Xacrrie stepped out of the room.
Calixa walked down the hallway in the direction Neox ran. Neox saw them coming and pretended to be busy with something as they walked by. Then he did the hair thing when the two of them passed. Xacrrie looked at him as she walked past, and Neox smirked. It has worked, but then he noticed the look on her face. Calixa tried not to burst out laughing from it. She had given him a look that said she thought he was crazy.
Neox's face fell. This plan had failed too. Calixa and Xacrrie continued down the hall when Demyx passed them. Xacrrie looked at him. He looked completely fine... not like he had been in any kind of fight.
"Oh I guess Bali was able to stop them," Calixa said.
"Demyx, did ye brawl wit Xero?" Xacrrie asked bluntly.
Calixa face palmed she was dead now. "Nope," Demyx responded, dancing to the music in his head.
Xacrrie glared at Calixa, "Did ye 'ave an ambush waitin fur me in the gray area!" she accused.
"What? An ambush- NO!"
The Scottish girl punched her in the arm and stalked back to her room. Calixa held her arm, that hurt a bit. She sighed and went to Neox. The boy looked depressed, "Well, that plan was a bust. Want to try the Cali method now?" Calixa asked.
"No! It won't work."
"Fine. Then what idea will you try next?"
"Let's get advice from someone else in the organization."
"Who?" Calixa asked.
"Hmmm..." Neox thought for a few seconds.
Calixa waited for him a moment, then she shook her head. "Well if your going to get advice from someone else then you don't need me," she turned around and left.
"Huh? Wait! You have to help me!" Neox said, following her.
But she was already gone. Neox sighed depressed, maybe nothing would work. Footsteps were coming down the hallway, and Neox looked to see that it was Xacrrie. Neox looked up and saw her, then sighed. Maybe it would work. "Um, Xacrrie..." he started, slowly standing up.
"What do ye want?" she asked icily.
"Um… I don't know how to say this... but I like you. A lot..." Neox said hesitantly, blushing.
Her face went from hard and angry to soft and confused, "What?"
"I.. like you... Can you... be my girlfriend?"
Xacrrie blushed, "Oh um... sure why not," she said smiling. Neox couldn't believe it. It worked. He was so happy that he passed out on the spot.
At dinner, Neox and Xacrrie were talking happily. Calixa smiled as she watched them. "Aren't they cute?" she asked, smiling.
"Yeah they are pretty cute," Roxas agreed.
"I'm glad that you're taking this well, Cali," Xion said, smiling.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Its okay, Cali," Roxas said. "Neox already told us. He broke up with you for Xacrrie."
Calixa had forgotten that they had pretended to date. "Oh yeah... well he's just saying that he broke up with me... but I really broke up with him. It was ruining out friendship so I told him it was over."
"No need to lie Cali. Xacrrie even said she was there when he dumped you."
Calixa felt hurt and betrayed. After Neox finally get the girl to like him, with her own method! He told everyone that he broke up with her. And that little pipeblower was backing him up. She glared at them both. Then, she stood up and walked over. She tapped the boy on his shoulder. Neox turned around and looked at her. And was instantly picked up by the collar and shaken roughly. "Who the hell do you think you are, you munchkin! Going around spreading lies like that! If you don't tell the truth right now-"
Calixa was suddenly pulled away from him, "Cali stop he cant breath!" Roxas said being the one that grabbed her from behind. Xion came running over to see if Neox was ok glared at Calixa.
"Okay Okay! I lied! It wasn't even a real relationship! It was fake! And I didn't dump Cali! Don't hurt me!" Neox cried out in fear.
Everyone stared at Neox and Calixa dead silent. Xacrrie looked at Neox. "So, ye were trying to make me jelous?"
"Um... yeah," Neox replied sheepishly.
"Awww! Just for me? That's so sweet!" Xacrrie said, smiling and giving him a hug.
Calixa's mouth hung agape. A thought came over her. Did she just lose her best friend...?
