Been a long time since I was on here, nao? And yes I would. At least now I would. I've had friends that have talked behind my back and spreaded rumors about me to the point that I almost wanted to transfer out of the School that I am in.

It seems to me if you don't confront the problem in your life it's only going to get worse and not going to go away.

I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!

I've now got to clean this office because it's a mess. Also my mother is mad at my brother and is taking it out on me

   

Welcome to Update the new update! Here is chapter four in my famous story: In The Next Life.

This is the longest chapter by far. EVER!

I walked into the dark Garage house and put my stuff down. ‘Lena and Edym bailed on me, leaving me to be the only Minrose to come to the Tradition.

Sephiroth and his brothers lived with their mother Jenova. Jenova was a widower that worked around the clock at Shinra Corp, she also got a very small widow’s pension but the job at Shinra paid well for her family, but it didn’t cut it. So Sephiroth and Kadaj the two oldest brothers, Kadaj the oldest out of the triplets, opened an Auto Shoppe. Loz and Yazoo followed in step, now the Gomez Auto Shoppe is the main Auto Shop in Lower Midgar. Jenova was proud of her sons, but when she was offered the money she refused. She wouldn’t take the money that her sons had made Jenova Gomez was far too proud.

Abel and Noelle Nightroad were Vincent’s parents. Abel worked at Highwind Industries as a manager. Noelle worked from the house as a stay at home mom and as a Lawyer. Vincent’s adoptive parents had a daughter named Ruth. Vincent called the little red head Ruthie. Vincent worked two jobs, and was going to start working a third

Casey and Squall were siblings. Both of their parents worked at Shinra Corp. Casey lived with her mother and Squall with his father. Casey and Squall had a little sister named Allie. Allie was hyper as could be. And an annoying betch Casey said to me.

SE lived with her family in one three story townhouse. HER WHOLE FAMILY. She had an older brother who was married and had a baby girl named Piper. A younger brother and two twin sisters named Rachael and Cissa Leine. SE also lived with her mother and father. He mother worked at Shinra Corp and her father was a politician for the Lower Midgar sector.

Kelsie lived in an Upper flat. Her parents were doctors and computer technicians. She lived with her brothers and her parents. She had two dogs and also a job at the local Coffee Ja Café. Let’s just say Kelsie loved her job. Free Coffee.

Cloud and Yuffie lived with Shera and Cid Highwind. Cid was the owner of Highwind Industries, Highwind Industries made planes and cars, So Shera and Cid were a well off family. Yuffie told her mother and father that she was expecting a child by winter. Cid blew the roof Cloud said. Shera was calm and collective until she asked Yuffie who the father was. Yuffie broke down crying as Vincent came to get them for Tradition. Cid assumed that Vincent was the father and kicked Vincent out of the house. Abel might lose his job Cloud said. Then Yuffie collected herself and was able to tell Cid that she was raped by Hojo and she didn’t want anybody to take this to court. If they did call Noelle! She’d kick arse!

Aerith lived in the Upper Midgar sector but went to school and work here because her mother Elmyra Gainsborough owned the local “‘Fairy Tail’ Flower Shoppes”. Then Elmyra married Tifa’s adoptive father, Barrett Wallace. Aerith gained a little sister, Marlene, Little brother, Denzel, and of course, Tifa. It was a sad day Cloud said.

Namine lived across the street from me. Her father was a flight pilot, saying he probably worked for Cid. Namine’s mother worked with Elmyra.

Sora was a homeless bum that lived with his family in New Edge; they rented a small flat every month to support the family. Sora’s father didn’t have a job while Sora’s mother worked two jobs and tried to support her twin boys, Sora and Roxas.

Riku was the son of Dr. Xemnas. They lived in a better home then all of us, Riku having his father being a Doctor Professor Mansex. Riku’s mother died when he was very little.

So I walked into the Garage and Yuffie sat with a hand on her abdomen and Cloud (not VINCENT OMG!) by her side. Vincent and SE then walked in bringing fast food from the new store Mini Burger. Yuffie had cravings Cloud told me and she asked for a burger with three types of cheeses, bacon, turkey, and Mayo. Ew. Casey and Kelsie brought dance music and the word BETCH back.

“HOLA!” Kelsie yelled as she walked in, she threw a bag at me, “Alex! Catch!” It hit me in the head.

Sephiroth walked into the garage with Yazoo in toe. Sephiroth was singing.

“I’m bringing Sexy back. Yeah! Those other boys don’t know how to act! Yeah!” Sephiroth yelled, his long silver hair tied back in a braid. Yazoo rolled his eyes. His hair was up in a pony tail.

Kelsie joined in, “I think you're special what’s behind your back so turn around. And I’ll pick up the slack. Take em' to the bridge”

“You are the stupidest big brother.” Yazoo said taking out his Chemistry 101 notes. SE sat down with him and began to study until Namine came and opened the garage door, leading in two very sloshed teenagers.

“Did you lose them?” Namine said as she led the boys over to Casey and Kelsie. They both laughed and said,

“Their ours BETCH!”

“Yeah back off fool!” Kelsie said.

Namine laughed as Miss Jenova walked out and said, “Kaj! Sephy! Yaz, Loz! I’m shutting the door”

This was the first time I had ever seen Miss Jenova. She was very tall and had blue-white hair, and pale white skin, whiter than Vincent’s.

“Okay Kaa-san!” Kadaj yelled as he grabbed Kelsie and began to dance with her.

She wasn’t very pretty but I guess she was okay.

“Casey, what are you doing?” I asked.

“Writin’ a letter.”

“To who?” Vincent asked.

“Yeah? Is it Mansex?” Kelsie asked still dancing with the Kadaj man.

Yuffie sat straight up, “YOU LIKE MANSEX?”

Yazoo and SE spit out their sodas in surprise.

“What the Crap,” Cloud said as he helped Yuffie sit back down. Casey grinned sheepishly and went back to her letter. Namine giggled and looked around the room she came over and sat by me.

“What’s wrong Axel?” Namine asked. Oh Bejesus she must have been reading my mind.

“Nothing. I’m alright right now Nami,” I lied through my teeth. SE looked at me and then I got a glare from Kelsie. “Don’t tell me you can read minds too!” I yelled.

“I stop time, betch.” Kelsie said, “Don’t compare me to SE and Nami; they do something that I will never be able to do.” She was angry.

Well I was thinking about my past and how or what I was like. Mostly Roxas and the old Namine surfaced. I was ticked that I had died.

“Liar,” SE and Namine hissed. I got up and turned the music up. Casey jumped up and grabbed Sora’s hand.

“Lets Rock Sora!” she yelled.

Riku stumbled over to Kadaj and pulled him away from Kelsie, and then he said, “I wanna dance.” Kelsie giggled.

“Alrighty then.” Kelsie said

Vincent was being vampireistic and wouldn’t come out of his emo corner only with coaxing by Yuffie and Sephiroth literally picking the man up and dragging him out of the corner did Vincent Valentine, arise from the dead. He then sat down and ate his dinner. Vincent sat by Cloud and played against the Blond Air head in Chess.

“Check mate” Vincent said proudly as he took a sip of his soda.

“I hate you Valentine,” Cloud said resetting the chess board.

“I LOVE YOU VINCENT!” Casey yelled.

Riku and Sora were still drunk and were hitting on Casey and Kelsie.

“Ewie, No Riku, I don’t wanna be your love lady,” Kelsie said pushing away from the Sliver haired drunk. Sora, drunk, was still as innocent as ever.

“Casey…I um…uh…huh?” Sora said before passing out in Casey’s lap.

SE and Nami giggled as Vincent was dragged by his coat collar to the floor by Yuffie, who then made the brood dance with her.

Loz went up to the music station and changed it to a really weird rock song. Casey yelled, “WOOT! This is ma JAM!” Sephiroth grinned sheepishly as he pulled Casey into the dance.

SE and Namine then explained to me that Sephiroth and Casey were the original Fearsome Two, the ones that ruled the school. Having once dated the broke up and became just friends. The reason that they broke up was because Sephiroth wanted to date Aerith and Casey wanted to date Sora. So in their minds it was all good, but started Namine hoping that he liked shorter, cuter, blonds, and SE hoping that he would pass the Tenth grade. Sephiroth was disappointed that Aerith was dating Leon; he found great comfort in playing pranks on Shelke, Kairi, Tifa, and Lucrecia.

Miss Jenova stuck her head out the door, her hair in curlers, “Lights out Sephiroth!” I gaped we were really spending the night here. Aerith and Leon finally made it as soon as Miss Jenova turned out the lights.

[End of School day One]

I woke up and Namine was in my lap. Casey was near Sora and Riku and Kelsie where getting their bags ready for school. SE and Cloud were already gone. Probably going to get Elena and Edym. Sephiroth and Leon where out on the porch having a smoke. Yuffie sat up and screamed, she was beginning to show.

Vincent shot straight up and then looked over at Yuffie. “What’s wrong,” he asked rubbing an eye sleepily.

“Vinnie, do I look bigger to you?”

“Uh…is this a rhetorical question Yuffs?”

“No”

Vincent stuttered and then pushed his long hair back, “Uh…umm…a little”

“Oh my god!” Yuffie said putting a hand on her stomach, “I’m getting fat!” Vincent rolled his eyes and threw a clean uniform at her. She smiled and hugged him.

Namine woke up, because of the scream, blushed and got off my lap

We all got out of the house in one piece except Yuffie, who obviously has morning sickness. SE told me that my siblings were moved to a different class because they have different intelligence levels.

“But aren’t you in AP and Gifted with Yazoo, and Vincent?” I asked. Namine’s eye twitched and then

“They just needed to be moved to keep them out of trouble Axel,” Vincent said, “It doesn’t mean that Elena or Edym are smarter than you or any of us.”

“I’m the smartest and I’ll prove it in homeroom!” Casey said.

Just as we were about to sit down at a table the bell rung, Sephiroth stood back up and said, “LET’S GO BUG DOCTOR PROFESOR MANSEX! In Biology and or Intro to Chemistry!” SE rolled her eyes

“I’ll be seeing ya’ll, me Yazoo, and Vince have AP World History exams to take.” SE said.

“But you came with us to Social Studies yesterday?” I asked.

“I know. But I have advanced courses to take this year too, go with them to Biology. Yazoo, Vince, and I have Chemistry with Mansex after homeroom.” SE said kindly. Vincent looked at Yuffie and Yuffie smiled.

“You going to be alright today Yuffie?” Vincent asked as he picked up his bag.

“I’m sure she’ll be fine Vince. I’ll watch over this one,” Sephiroth said laying a hand on Yuffie’s shoulder, “Your gonna be fine. Me and Squall won’t let him anywhere near you. Plus Vince will go Chaos on him if he hurts you again.” Then Kelsie chimed in,

“LET’S GO! You’ll have to protect her from Dr. Xemnas if we’re late!” she yelled.

Vincent leaned down and kissed Yuffie’s cheek and the world cheered. Not really But I, Alexander Fenrir Minrose, am writing this story and I cheered, in my mind.

“Go with Sephiroth. Kadaj and Loz and Squall are with him. Do not worry,” Vincent said as SE and Yazoo walked off.

“COME ON YUFFIE!” Kelsie yelled. Yuffie smiled and ran down the hall, with me following.

When we go into the room Dr. Xemnas wrote his name on the board along with a complex formula.

“What is this?” He asked. Sora’s hand shot into the air. “Yes Sora.”

“The Quadratic equation?” Sora had Math and Science mixed up. Cloud slapped his forehead as Yuffie’s hand went into the air.

“Yes Miss Kisaragi?”

“That would be a DNA strain Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uralic in RNA.” Yuffie said proudly.

Casey laughed and then said, “Can I see your DNA Dr. Xemy?”

Namine’s eyes went wide and Yuffie blushed, as Aerith and Squall groaned at the indecency of Casey Auschwitz. Sephiroth pointed at the blushing teacher. And Riku’s eye twitched at the thought of his father.

Kelsie smiled and then said, “Oh yeah I’d tap that!” Oh beJesus.

Dr. Xemnas turned around and then said, “You and your lab partner are going to construct a DNA model. Miss Kisaragi since you’re lab partner is in my Chemistry class…for once. You are exempt.”

Yuffie sighed and pulled out a magazine Kelsie then yelled at Yuffie, “Yuffie that’s my Magazine, you punk!” Yuffie smiled sheepish and laughed.

“Sorry Kels, but it had an article about clothing that I liked,” She said handing the magazine to Kelsie. Cloud slapped his forehead again as Sephiroth tried profoundly to make the DNA stand on end. I laughed and the Bell rung.

“FREEDOM!” Casey yelled as she made a mad dash for the door.

Next we had something called Garden Club Class. Casey called him a Hippie; Kelsie called him a smex Muffin. SE, Vincent, and Yazoo where seated when we got there. Squall, Sephiroth, Aerith, and Loz had another class to take so it was Me, Sora, Yuffie, Casey, Kelsie, Riku and Nami. Yuffie smiled and sat by Vincent.

Sora and Casey grabbed a seat together and grabbed a front row seat. Kelsie and Riku sat in the middle row and I sat with Yazoo and Nami as Cloud took a seat with SE.

“I am Mister Marluxia! And I am the Home Ec and Garden Club teacher,” He said, “I will-“

Then the Lucrecia, Shelke, and Hojo walked into the room. Yuffie latched on to Vincent’s sleeve and prayed for mercy.

“Well look who’d join us! I’ll split ya’ll into couples, Miss Yuffie, You’ll work with the man that your so gravely attached to. Mister Hojo-“ Mister Marluxia was cut off.

“I’ll work with my Lucy,” He said calmly.

“Alrighty then! Miss Shelke, Mister Yazoo will work together. Miss Sel- I mean SE. You and Mister Cloud will be working with each other. Xemnas’ son…you’ll work with Miss Kelsie.” Marluxia said, “Mister Sora and Miss Casey please. And Miss Namine-” he was cut off

“I go by Nami please,” She said with a giggle, “Commit it to memory.”

“Yes, yes Nami- I remember you. Mister Axel work with Nami. Okay now we are going to turn you kids into parents,” Mister Marluxia said, “You’ll be given a baby doll to take care off.”

Yuffie yanked on Vincent’s arm even harder. “This will be good for you, Yuffie, do not worry.”

Then the bell rung and class was over.

We went to lunch and had Ramen and Poky again. Vincent got food this time. There was no Betch fight today. But Hojo tried to come over and rub Yuffie’s stomach. Sephiroth scared him off.

Then we went to Dr. Xemnas’ again because it was time for homeroom. I sat with Roxas and everybody except Casey was in class. Vincent and Yuffie trying furiously to pick a name. Riku and Kelsie looking at a yearbook. Yuna and Tidus helping Rikku and Auron with a project. Larxene and Demyx sleeping. Aerith and Squall making out in the back. Yazoo and Loz checking homework. SE and Cloud playing tic tac toe. Sephiroth and Nami trying and failing to figure out Dr. Xemnas’ handwriting. Then Casey ran into the room slammed the tap notice down on the table and hugged Dr. Xemnas.

Namine who must have been reading minds was blushing profoundly along with SE who was as red as red could be.

“Ya’ll need to get your heads out of the gutter,” SE said standing up

“Well then tell Cloud to get his hand out of your skirt.” Kelsie said

SE looked down and said, “Wow Betch really low. Like you and Riku”

“Oh ya’ll got told!”

The Professor was beat red. Casey was smirking and giggling at the Doctor Professor.

Kelsie stood up and yelled, “Is that a bulge in your pants Dr. Mansex!?” He flushed red and walked back into the storage room.

“I did not need to see that!” Riku declared as the final bell rung and we headed off to math. Roxas stopped me in the hall and asked.

Kelsey then yelled, “But Mister Mansex’s spawn that was how you were made!”

“Do you wanna hang out sometime Axel?”

“Sure I’ll buy you sea salt ice-cream if you like me too.”

“Sure meet me at Chips on Saturday?”

“I’ve got it memorized.”

Math was boring. The teacher’s name was Mister Tseng Fuugi. He threatened to rip my arms off. And that was the end of the day. They rest of the week was the same expect that Yuffie got Hojo suspended for a week.

[End of the first week]

It was Saturday. And everybody had jobs. Namine and SE where working a register at the Jitney Jungle, Sephiroth was fixing cars left and right. Cloud worked at a weapons shop on the edge of Midgar. SE then ran out of the Jitney Jungle with a dozen roses in her hands and into “Fairy Tail” Flower Shoppe. I walked into Café Ja Coffee and was then slugged in the face.

“WHAT THE…Oh it’s just you I guess that’s alright then.” Kelsie said. I growled and got back up.

“What was that for?”

“I don’t know. I guess you were just in my way.”

“KELSIE! ONE COFFEE TO GO PLEASE!” Vincent yelled from outside.

“It’s gonna cost you two-fifty, Valentine!”

“Forget it then!” Vincent walked past the coffee shop rolling his red eyes and he stormed off. I walked out the door to follow Mister Vampire and Miss Preg, but Kelsie caught me.

“Axel! I need you to run some errands for me and the gang, is that alright?” Kelsie asked, “Normally I’d do it my self, but since me and the gang are saving up for something we need all the money we can get, savvy?” Kelsie paused, “And I can’t leave the register unattended! The crime rate has really gone up in Midgar and ShinRa and the government isn’t doing anything about it.” She coughed something that sound like Senator Michael Leine, I raised an eyebrow and she laughed, “I’m not blaming SE! No! It’s mostly the other Senators faults; Mister Leine is cool dude up to the part that he’s a politician!”

I laughed, had always liked the way that Kelsie made fun of everything. Casey was a comedian too but she did prop comedy, and SE was one I had never seen freak out.

“EARTH TO ALEX FENRIR MINROSE! SE is making faces at you!” As I turned around SE Leine was making faces at me. SE snickered as I flipped her my best mister bird. She was then quickly pulled down the road by Cloud Strife.

“Well I’ll be freaking quicked, SE’s is on the sugar. Real sugar, mind you. SE is clean, unlike some of our airhead friends.” I blinked and nodded. I though she might have been on something like the juice or crystal candy.

“Well in all its betchness glory, here is the list, it a few nick-knacks that we need for camping in the cabin in a few days, to get the final thing on the list you have to see Lucrecia’s mother to go get it, and she’s strongly anti-gay. So if I where you, I’d stop thinking about Roxas in a sarong. And Sea-salt ice-cream,” Kelsie turned away from me.

My thoughts then drifted to Roxas in the Sarong and Sea-salt ice-cream. The little bell over the door of the coffee Shoppe chimed as I was thinking these thoughts and Nami walked in. Wearing a mini. I blushed. This was all way too much.

“Well get going!” Kelsie yelled, “And remember Mrs. Crescent!” She waved me off and I walked down the Midgaran streets. It was cold for a Saturday in August, I adjusted my glasses, that I almost never wore, and read the first thing, Talk with Senator Michael Leine about borrowing the Yukon XL. And I knew I was doomed. I talked to the Senator for about twenty minutes until the politician believed who I was. He was a stick man, pushing six foot two, while his oldest biological daughter was only a measly five foot two. Bald and kind, never to be thought as a politician, but oh well not my problem, he gave me the keys to SE’s black Yukon XL.

As much as I liked SE’s dad I liked Miss Jenova more, who I had to go see next. Miss Jenova had all the Gil and Munny notes that we needed for the camping trip. She, Miss Jenova was a kind hearted person who had heard all about me going out with Roxas today. She told me that it was nothing to be ashamed of, Kadaj her oldest triplet was openly gay. She gave me a can of black coffee and some fresh oranges and sent me on my way. To Mister Kanhive’s home.

Mister Kanhive was an IT man and watched sports. He was watching the Midgaran Stars play the Kalm Panthers. He and his wife were in charge of the bedding for the lake house. Misses Kanhive told me all about how all the kids grew up at that lake house and how it meant so much to go back there all the time. I felt like I didn’t belong…for a second…but shook that feeling off when Misses Kanhive told me that Kelsie thought it was great that I was going. Next on my list…Miss Auschwitz.

Miss Auschwitz didn’t answer the door. Allie, the demon spawn of Mister Leonheart and Miss Auschwitz, did. She told me that if I was looking for a place to stay, the soup kitchen was down the street and I could lug my sorry rump down there myself, she also said, we don’t buy food from hoboes. As charmed as I was with Allie I needed to get the directions so I paged Miss Auschwitz, she was having lunch with her ex-husband, her son, and her son’s girlfriend. So when I got the directions it was almost time for my date.

So I stopped at the Highwind’s next. Misses Shera Highwind opened the door bouncing a little baby on her knee. She smiled as if she was almost glad to see me. She led me to the kitchen and I started collecting the pots and pans for the lake house. When I finished Misses Highwind asked me to change a few light bulbs and some house hold stuff that she couldn’t do because she was very small and myself being a freakish six foot four since my age of twelve I was more then glad to help the woman out. Then she asked me to do something I had never done, hold the baby, so I did as I was asked. The little girl was small and very cute, but something was out of place for me as I held her. Almost like a mixed emotion. When she returned, with Mister Highwind, she told me I was free to leave.

So I lugged myself over to the Nightroad’s home next. Ruthie Nightroad came to the door and asked if I was selling cookies. I laughed. I could just image myself in a Girl Scout uniform. Turned to figure that Allie and Ruthie were best friends. I favor Ruthie. Then Mister Abel Nightroad let me in to pick up the “emergency” Munny and Gil notes, along with the caned foods. Mister Nightroad asked if I knew where Vincent was, and I could only shrug and laugh. Mister Nightroad told me to explain where Vincent was over a cup of tea and some cookies that Misses Nightroad had made earlier. He told me he’d burn water if it was possible. Ruthie chimed in claming that bad cooking skills run on the male side of the Nightroad family, because it is lore that Vincent can burn water. I left with three boxes of can food and five-hundred Munny and twenty Gil notes, and ten bibles. Heh.

I made the next stop at the Gainsborough-Wallace Shoppe. The home that I went to was 572 Midgar Way, and the man Mister Barrett Gainsborough-Wallace and his daughter Tifa Gainsborough-Wallace-Lockheart and the youngest Marlene Gainsborough-Wallace came to the door and sent me to the small corner shop to talk with Misses Gainsborough-Wallace about what I needed to do for her. The Lake House garden was the job I was given. Load up mulch and put it in the cellar for her. Easy-Peasy right? Nah, those bags had to be run to the Gomez’s and put in the back of their white and red doge. Which those bags weighed 50 pounds a piece, so I carried about two of them on each shoulder…and SE and Casey helped me load them up until their breaks were over. They helped a lot so I was almost done any ways.

The Lebond family was next. Kairi was not there, lucked out, heh. So I was able to talk with Misses Lebond for a few seconds before starting the chore that needed completion. I had to get gas and water ready for the cars, and Mister Lebond got free gas from a tank in his yard that was supplied by Highwind Industries. Thank you Misses Shera Highwind! The water needed to be packed away with the dry food, so I was loading up the Yukon XL, when it happened. Kairi showed up. We had a stair down until she asked why I made Roxas break up with her. I shrugged and told her maybe it was because Roxas wasn’t like what she wanted. She laughed and said Roxas was the Straightest thing on the planet. Straight enough to be Gay is what I’ve always said. I left after that not wanting to start a betch fight.

I drove over to the Hitchen’s home in the East Slums. When I got there, Roxas opened the door. Shocked to see me he let me in and told me where everything was located. Vincent Valentine insisted on protection, being the reincarnation of the Crimson Gunner no doubt, made the masses of us get weapons that filled our element. I got Charkarams, fire, yes I can sort of control fire, like my sister can sort of control plants and Edym has control of water. A mace for Kelsie, gun for Vincent, Loz, and Casey, swords for Sephiroth, Cloud, Yazoo, and Kadaj. Namine and SE pack their own protection, mind games, heh. Yuffie uses Ninja Arts, and Sora and Riku wield so weird type of Key thing. I collected the weapons and walked back to the car. Roxas came to see me off; I had met Misses Destiny Hitchens and Mister Rock Hitchens (bad hangover) inside earlier, he asked if I was still going to meet him at Chips and Dales later. I kissed him on the cheek and said it was a date. Got it Memorized?

I looked at the list as I was driving SE’s Yukon, AC/DC blaring if you must know, and down at the bottom in place of Shinder-Xenahort, black writing was laced, Mansex, in big bold letters, 678 Midgaran Way. It was a long way off from the Slums and would take me about twenty minutes to get there, but Misses Crescent’s home was in the same district and Chips and Dales was only a mile from there. So I went to Professor Xemnas’ home and knocked on his door, he opened the door and smirked. He asked if I was here for the papers and keys for the lake home, all I could stutter was yes sir I didn’t wanna call him Mansex…man he was scary. I saw Casey’s head poke around once but that was it. She's Stalking HIM! I mean he is my teacher and my BEST FRIEND’S DAD! Jeeze. I’m done with this, or almost.

Misses Crescent was the most important stop, why because? Because she held the key to turn on the power in that house. Misses Lucrecia Crescent hand short brown hair and blue eyes, looking like her daughter. Luckily I didn’t run into Lucy at all. Heh, I hate her.

So it was time for my date. I laughed, My Date! Heh, date, yes. So I parked the Yukon in the drive of my home. I threw the keys at Edym and he threw me a look and went back to his Sitar. Elena had a date of her own. Some kid named Hayner…maybe Roxas knows him. Well I walked out of the house and walked into the business district and spied Mister Mickey Mouse and His wife, Misses Minnie Mouse, talking to Misses Elmyra. Misses Elmyra waved sweetly. Mister Braig Xigbar and his wife walked contently down the street not noticing me, or caring for much matter. Everybody was out. And it was like couples days…jeeze...make me feel bad. I walked past SE and she glared at me and asked

“Promise not to be crushed if something goes wrong?” Her eyes drifted to the ground. Namine and Kelsie already know what she was talking about tucked their heads back inside Coffee Ja Coffee.

“What, why?” I asked, “Is something going to happen?”

“Crying” She ran into Coffee Ja Coffee and got to work. I shrugged and walked away and walked into Chips and Dales and there I spy Roxas drinking a Doctor Diz. I sat down and smiled.

“Roxas…” I say.

“Axel…number eight right?” Roxas asked. I had to smile. He was right.

“Right…” I said

“You were joking about the Date right?” Roxas asked, a little fidgety, “I me...and…if you were…eh…heh.” I laughed and put my arm around him and smiled.

“Don’t you remember our last life…together…Roxas?” I ask. He smirks.

“I’ve heard things from Sora, about you and me…I didn’t believe him until now…” Roxas said. Roxas leaned back and sighed, “I mean Axel, and I’m still…no I guess I’m over her…I guess…”

I leaned over and smirked, “I’m over girls. Too much Drama. I out grew girls…after my last relationship went up in flames. And not the flames I control…” He laughed. I stole some of his soda and he asked me

“Why?”

“Huh?” I said back.

“Why me? Why us?” he asked again.

“Destiny…the Key of Destiny should know that.” I said, “Got it memorized?”

He let out a large laugh again, “I have wanted to hear that forever, or it seems it’s been forever.” I leaned over and kissed him. It surprised me when he kissed back. I pulled back and smiled.

“Now who’s remembers?” And all we could do was laugh. Until three heads poked into Chips and Dales, SE’s, Riku’s, and Kelsie’s. Then finally…

“YOU OWE ME MONEY!” Casey yelled at Sora. Laughter erupted from Kelsie and Riku, as SE smiled smally. I don’t know if she was thinking or receiving, but what ever it was it wasn’t good news, the smile faded and she rushed off, to find Namine most likely. Riku bowed to Kelsie and looped arms with her and darkness engulfed them. Riku, Prince of Darkness plus Kelsie, the Queen of Time equals portals. Tremendous. Wish I could still do that…but anyhow…The looks on their faces after SE’s smile dropped. Scares me, oh crap.

So I kissed Roxas goodbye and snuck to the Jitney Jungle, making sure they didn’t see the “Fury of Dancing Flames” I was very quiet which is very hard when Mister and Misses Mouse stop you every five seconds. Know I know why Casey hates that mouse…I hated the King in my last life. Truly.

“SE you’re over reacting.”

“But what about the time when Olette got hit! And I saw it first! Was I over reacting then Ri-ku?”

“She has a point ‘Ri-ku’.”

“Shut your Air hole Sora, nobody asked you.”

“He’s MY brother! MY Twin!”

“I agree with SE, don’t you Kelsie.”

“Yeah, Betch. She and Namine have never been wrong before. Even though they overreact sometimes…But hey I over react to when it comes to time. And I have all the time in the world. Yuffie?”

“Riku needs to look at this through the eyes of Namine and SE, who’s up for walking in shoes?”

“Yuffie, no, I agree with Riku.”

“Viiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnccccccccceeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnttt, why?” I wasn’t sure about some of those voices but I knew that they, my friends were keeping something, something important. Roxas.

I walked away needing to think for awhile and ran into a boy about five foot seven. Casey’s and Kelsie’s height. He was with a little boy and another boy around the same height. There was a set of twins and then Ruthie and Allie.

“Who let you out of your cage?” I asked.

“Shut up! Were in charge here!” Allie yelled.

“No reason to yell at the freak Als.”

“Logan! I’ll do what I Want! This IS the HOBO that stormed our house!”

“You mean?” It was the other boy.

“YES CJ I MEAN!” Allie yelled.

“HE goes by Jamers, Allie,” The twins said.

“Aw, twins, nobody cares,” It was the younger boy.

“We haven’t introduced ourselves,” Logan, the leader said, “Logan’s the name.”

“Jamers, or CJ,” Jamers said flicking the brim of his EkoRED hat.

“Name is Ian, Logan is my brother,” Ian said smirking.

“Names are Rachael and Rebecca, better known as Rach and Cissa!” the twins said in unison.

“I’m Allie Leonheart. Auschwitz too. Hobo.” She said adjusting her jacket.

“I am Ruth Nightroad, I believe we’ve met.” She bowed and smiled kindly.

I smiled at Ruthie and glared at Allie, “Let me guess, the twins are SE’s sisters and Ian and Logan are Kelsie’s brothers. Now I’m going out on a limb here, correct me if I’m wrong little Allie, you’re the devil and Ruth you’re the head angel?” I asked waving a finger, “And you the tall one with the EkoRED hat, your…Namine’s Brother?”

“I’m SE’s brother, dobe,” he said.

“J-A-M-E-R-S L-E-I-N-E. I’ve got it memorized.” I stated pointing to my temple. He smirked.

“Technically, I’m not ring leader, right…now…” He laughed, “But you’re our territory….and not even Vampire Boy can save you!”

“Like I’m scared of some little punk. I eat kids like you for breakfast, runt,” I was playing cool. Not mad yet.

“Vincent is my BROTHER, NOT A VAMPIRE!” Ruthie yelled. I motioned for Ruthie to stand behind me. She ran behind me and yelled, “You don’t like him because he’s older and he’s different! He can do something AMAZING!” Logan put a hand in the air.

“Ruthie, Jamers we are not fighting this fight NOW! We have more pressing matters at hand. Ruthie please come over here,” Logan extended a hand and she came out from behind me and took it and went behind the Ringleader, “Leave and we won’t hurt you.”

I laughed and put my index finger in the air, “I am not moving.”

“I guess we’ll make you.” Logan said. I snapped and fire appeared over my index finger, I was taken back…the last time I did that was…when I was…a nobody…so that means…

“He’s like him!” Allie yelled, “HE’S LIKE MY SISTER TOO!” After Allie’s screech died away I heard footsteps.

“I think that scream was Allie, Casey,” Sora and Casey. Allie froze and frowned.

“Looks like the runt police are here,” I said, “Soon you’ll be out of this alley, got it Memorized?”

“Stop saying that,” the twins said half heartedly, “You remind us of somebody that SE use to tell us of in a story.” I smiled; I was the one in the story.

“I think I heard Alex too Sora,” Casey said. They were getting closer. Jamers and Logan then nodded to each other and lunged at me. I grabbed my Chakrarams out of my bag and they flamed up.

“Watch out big brother!” Ian and the twins yelled. Allie stood there mesmerized, by the flames. I threw the Chakrarams above their heads, not to hit them, and I drove Ian and Logan off, Jamers’ had the strong will and continued to fight until. A Small black thing with big yellow eyes looked at me and then looked at Jamers. It stood up and it turned into Casey! She shape shifts!

“CJ LEINE!” Casey yelled, “Wait until I TELL SE what you have been doing! WAIT I’ll tell Mister Senator! He’ll know what to do with you!” That drove him off and the twins fled as well. Casey turned to her sister and said, “Who let you out?”

“If you must know it was Father. Dad and Mom went somewhere with Aerith and Squall.” Allie said.

“Allison go home. Now. Or I’ll tell Mom and Dad.” Casey said pushing the threat farther.

“Oh what they gonna do? Send me away to live with Dad in New Midgar?” Allie said raising her hands dramatically and shaking them.

“I hope they send you to live with Auntie Leonheart in Twilight Town or Nibelhiem,” She said smartly. Allie’s face dropped and she ran past me and ran out of the alleyway. Casey laughed and then stated, “Ruthie Magdalene Nightroad. Why are you out here?”

I put my Chakrarams away and Ruthie smiled, “I was looking for Vincent. Where is he?”

“I’ll take you to him,” I said extending my hand, “Come on.” Casey smiled and grabbed Sora’s hand and Ruthie took mine

Asking, “Can I have some Sea-Salt ice-cream?” She looked up with pleading eyes. I laughed.

Casey then said, “Sure, let’s just talk to Vincent first.”

When we got to Vincent and the rest of the gang it was Sundown and we were all by the river that runs through Midgar, it’s called the Timeless River. Ruthie jumped on her big brother and he smiled and laughed at the sight of his little sister. SE smiled at me and asked, “Are you okay Axel?”

“Yeah, but can you tell me what’s going to happen to Roxas?” I asked.

“I really don’t know. All Namine and I saw was crying. So it must be bad.” I mouthed ‘oh’ and saw Sora and Casey chatting quietly Sora made this Key appear in his hand and Casey laughed at the almost apparent joke. Riku and Kelsie where helping Ruthie and Yuffie weave flowers into Vincent’s hair. The triplets where starting a fire as Namine and Sephiroth collected wood. SE was sitting quietly by herself and Cloud was helping Nami and Sephiroth. She was humming softly Namine joined with her they were both soon singing, Kelsie and Casey joined in. Yuffie then began to sing with them.

“You know, Kelsie, Casey?”

“Yeah SE?” they chimed.

“It’s exactly like it was.”

“Really?” Casey asked. SE laughed and jumped up.

“Yeah! So let’s get this party started!” A small squeal of joy and Loz and Yazoo turned the music on to blare as the sun set. And I was blown away; it all seemed to make sense. I was happy here.

[End of Saturday]

It was Sunday. The day of Church, Bibles and day we leave to go to the lake. WOO! So I was helping Cloud and Sora load up the Yukon XL. Grrr that stupid gas guzzler. SE and Kelsie where checking Kelsie’s car, a Black Mini Cooper. Casey and Riku were making sure that all the food and money was there. Vincent, Yuffie, and Namine were checking weapons and loading the Yukon as well. That’s when I heard a loud screech and a White and Red truck sped down the street stopping and hitting mine, SE’s, and Kelsie’s Mailboxes. Nice.

As it was qued, Sephiroth’s head poked out of the Truck window and he yelled, “FREEDOM! YES!” Kadaj then turned the music speakers on and playing the new song ‘Beat Box Pete,’ by The Nobodies, Namine being the sparkling and apposite person that she had always been reached through the truck’s window and grabbed the driver and yelled profoundly at him for blasting that song. Kadaj then changed the song to ‘Girlfriend’ by some artist. I like the song at once. SE and Casey began to sing off key to the song.

“Alrighty Chickpeas! I’m going!” Sephiroth yelled as Namine let go of the man, she muttered something I would later know. Sephiroth started the truck back up and Cloud and I exchanged looks and began to chase the truck yelling they better not come back. We returned to the drive and the parents (and Miss Jenova) flooded the streets. Edym and Elena told me not to do anything dumb, but hey I’m the oldest triplet. I have rights to do something dumb. Heh. Aerith hugged my and told me to call everybody when we got there. Leon made a small gagging noise in the back of his throat. I laughed as Vincent chucked something at the back of Leon’s head.

SE ignored her father completely, and got into her car and started it up. She got out of the car later. So I decided I would suck up to Senator Leine and Misses Leine. “HOLA Senator and Lady Leine!” I raised my hand in the air and waved to the man. He didn’t wave back but Misses Leine shouted hello. Casey, who never sees her father, hugged her father and then tried to stalk the ever present Sora.

I saw Kelsie hug her two brothers and grabbed Riku away from his father and loaded into her car. I laughed as I saw SE pick up Piper and the Highwind baby in her arms and laughed at them. There it was that feeling again. Cloud made her check over the cars once more.

Vincent picked up Ruthie and hugged his little sister. I had never seen the gunslinger smile for anybody but us. I guess his little sister had the right heart. I watched as he hugged his mother and shook his father’s hand. Abel smiled and laughed, the half pastor was talking to Senator Leine about who their kids were most likely to marry. Casey hugged her godfather, Abel and left to stalk somebody. I watched as Yuffie and Cloud hugged their parents and how SE, Kelsie, Casey, and Namine laughed at their families. Riku nodded to the Professor and Casey ran over to him.

“Professor?”

He turned and nodded. She smiled and hugged him quickly and then yelled, “BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE!” Then she went after her brother Leon. Aerith was talking about his butt. Casey did the one thing that I’d hope to never see again. Slap it. I sighed, and watched as Sora nodded to his father and gave him a quick hug. He gave his mother a hug as well. Then their son showed up. Roxas. I walked over to him and gave him a quick hug. He asked for me to lean down and I did. He gave me a quick kiss on the check and handed me a box of chocolates

“If you’re riding with, Yuffie or even Casey, you’ll need them.” I nodded and kissed him when his and my parents were not watching. My mother then walked over and asked who this was.

It was almost time for send off, but we still had one more very important person to say goodbye too. Miss Jenova.

“Jenny! Aren’t you going to say goodbye to the rest of the kids?” Abel yelled at her. I guess all of our parents were friends when they were children.

She huffed, “Oh Abel, I’m J-e-n-o-v-a. Not Jenny!”

I couldn’t pass this up, “GOT IT MEMORIZED MISTER NIGHTROAD?” He turned to me and raised an eyebrow. I laughed and gave him the thumbs up. Miss Jenova walked back over and smiled. We all took this opportunity to attack her and hug her all at the same time. She was overwhelmed by all of us. But then again, she was a surrogate mother to everybody.

We were ready. Ready for the trip. We waited for our car placements. I hoped that Casey and Yuffie would be in a Car with Vince and Sora so they wouldn’t kill the driver, unless Vince or Sora were driving, Sora is NOT driving, there is a funny story about that though…I’ll get to that later. Yuffie let out a long whistle and yelled, “GO AHEAD CLOUD! THE FLOOR IS YOURS!”

“Umm…thanks Yuffie. Casey, Kelsie, Riku, Namine, and Sora, are riding in the Cooper, Myself, SE, Yuffie, Vince and Flame head are going in the Yukon.” He yelled, “And the rest of you can come when you want! Or if you want.” He opened the car door and then smiled, “Shot gun!” My eyes went wide, and I laughed.

“NEXT SEAT!” And it had begun. I jumped past Vince and Yuffie and threw myself into the back row of seats; I landed on blankets and pillows. Yuffie and Vincent then sat down in the middle row of seats, followed by SE getting into the driver’s seat and then leaned back and said,

“Vincent, Yuffie, please keep your hands to yourself you’re when your in my car.” Cloud left out a snort of laughter, knowing that the unlikely pair would behave, “And you Axel! If you smuggled Roxas into my car, so help me Gaia!” I laughed.

“Yeah I smuggled Roxas into your car SE, he’s in my pants,” I wish that you could have seen the look on her face as everybody laughed at my comment. She was beet red. She turned around and let out a string of curses that would make Mister Highwind proud, as she backed out of the driveway and followed the black Mini Cooper out of Midgar and on to the highway.

Vincent pulled out a lighter and tried to light his cigarette, he failed.

“The lighter…” he muttered as he stuck the unlit cigarette between his lips and leaned back on the car seat. Yuffie smiled and sighed as she read the baby book that she had bought.

“Give it here. I’ll light it,” He gave it to me and I snapped and lit the cigarette, I didn’t give back. I placed it between my lips and inhaled and exhaled out a window, “This could hurt your wife’s baby!” Vincent glared and Yuffie smiled nervously and patted his hand.

“It’s alright Vinnie. I still like you.” She smiled and went back to her book. Vincent looked back at me and I gagged at him and Yuffie.

“You two are so sweet I’m dying from smoke inhalation!” I cried as I fell back onto a pile of pillows in a fake spaz. He reached back and smacked me.

“Leave me alone, your Fire Head,” Emo Broodintine was laughing. I pulled the cigarette from my lips and placed it in an ash tray and smacked Yuffie in the back of her head with one of the pillows I had. She turned around and glared.

“It’s on at the pit stop, Minrose.” She went back to her book.

“Dude, it’s been great knowing you,” Cloud said. And indeed it was.

We stopped somewhere between Edge and Twilight town. We had just gotten through Edge without much excitement. Vincent and Yuffie kissed once…which was dull. It was like watching an old horror film, titled Ninja and The Demon. DULL! I hate that. Cloud and SE fought over if they should take Highway eighty or cut down through I-Eighty-two. It made no difference. We had to stop in Sine, the pit stop between the all major cities on the West Continent, Edge, Midgar, Kalm, and Twilight Town being those cites. I had to wait for Yuffie and Vincent to get out of the car, why? Because SE told me not to go threw the luggage and mess it up. When I landed on solid land, the first thing I personally did was call my favorite blond. No, not Elena, I called her after I talked to Roxas. Then these three girls started hitting on me and Kadaj.

How did we beat them? With a stick? With a gun? With Casey? No, I kissed Kadaj and drove them off. Kadaj then told me he was seeing somebody and we laughed about it. I had an idea about who it was, Rufus Shinra, the president’s gay son. Laughing I headed for the restrooms and heard the worst sound in my life.

“Riku!” My eyes shot wide open. Riku…wow…and Kelsie…wow. I expected this out of Sora and Casey, but not those two. Reaching for the knob I opened the door and there I saw Kelsie covering her top with her hands as Riku smiled sheepishly with the ripped shirt in his hands. I slammed the door shut and vowed. Never. Ever. Live with Riku.

I walked into the small coffee Shoppe and sat with SE and Cloud who where talking with a man and another man. One man had a hand made of bones, while the other had long, almost white, blond hair. They were called Yonaki and Bones. They couldn’t wed because the where a gay couple, but they made the best of it. We heard them going at it once while we waited for everybody to come to the Shoppe. It was…weird…most of it was muffled but I heard a few words. Yuffie knew what they where saying most of the time, because they both spoke Wuatian while they were “at it” and she knew Wuatian, as well as Vincent. I don’t think even SE wants to know. She had her eyes closed and she was really focused on something else. I don’t blame her. Namine wouldn’t be able to stand it so she went back to the car; Sephiroth was with her so…I’m guessing somebody was happy.

Did Yuffie get me back? Well yeah. She like put bees in my hair. It hurt. But I got a laugh out of it.

We decided to take the main highway and follow into the city and then take a right and turn onto Rayne Road which would dump us right at the Lake-Woods-House.

I read for the rest of the time when we were in the car, I watched sometimes as Yuffie and Vincent would try and pick a name, okay, Yuffie you have a few months, stop freaking. I understand though. Totally. Cloud drove the rest of the way while SE slept. She seemed wiped. I was either, smoking, reading, writing or on the phone, while in the car.

After unloading the car and placing everything in the house I stood and looked back for a moment. I felt, at peace you know. I walked in and saw SE, Casey, and Kelsie cooking as Namine and Vincent helped with the rooms. Sephiroth and the triplets where on the phone, I think they where talking with Miss Jenova, Sora and Riku had taken the other car to get food for tomorrow, but that’s when my phone rang, and I knew, my perfect world had dipped back.
