Axel regarded the box Demyx presented suspiciously; sure, the water-user had said it was food, but you could never be too sure with that boy. He didn’t appear to be all there… Brushing the distractions aside, Axel picked up the box and peered inside with some possibly undue caution. It didn’t explode, no bizarre demon leapt out to try and eat his face, and there were no fan-girls waiting, either. It seemed to be safe. He risked a quick glance up at Demyx, who was waiting expectantly, completely oblivious to Axel’s own rude and demeaning thoughts.
“It’s…cake,” he declared at last, puzzled. “What’s the occasion, Demyx?”
“Occasion? None, I don’t think. I just thought cake would be nice, seeing as we never have any and Xigbar hoards all the other sweets.”
There was yelling a ways away that sounded distinctly like, “I do not!!” but the two Nobodies couldn’t be sure. Or they were both hearing voices. That was possible, too. But Axel didn’t like the idea of voices, seeing as they were an…insane person thing, and attributed the noise to a trick of the wind and never gave it further thought.
“It’s a big cake.”
“Well, there are a lot of us.” Demyx smiled proudly as he patted the box. “I wanted to get enough---Xigbar gets it last, though.”
That statement summoned forth another trick of the wind, but they were able to ignore it thanks to Xaldin’s constant use of said element.
“Let’s get some of the others,” Demyx suggested brightly, turning to do just that. “Then we can have some cake!”
“…you’re just trying to avoid going to the Underworld, aren’t you?”
“N-no!”
In the end, they were able to find Xigbar (very quickly), Xaldin, and Luxord. Xemnas was out talking to Kingdom Hearts and Saïx had pulled a magical disappearing act; their absences were not grieved.
So the Nobodies were sitting around the table, enjoying the cake and talking when three Dusks walked into the room. Dusks and other lesser Nobodies were not unheard of in the Castle that Never Was, so no one even took the time to look at them. Not at first, at least.
The zippers on the dusks mouths were ripped open as the creatures let out high-pitched, grating screeches and tore out of the kitchen without a second thought.
That caught everyone’s attention, and they were soon exchanging blank looks and rubbing their ears tenderly.
Demyx was the first to speak. “So it’s true,” he marveled, looking from the cake to the door in utter fascination.
All the others looked up blankly, their eyes telling him to continue.
He didn’t, so Xaldin took the moment to be more clear. “What?”
“Well, I heard it in the world where I bought the cake---it’s what the box said. ‘Nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee.’”
Akkina - *giggle snort* Because my family was discussing the grammar of that phrase, and other ones like it. There was the frequent use of the word “nobody” and I was laughing like anyone with the maturity of a twelve-year-old boy would. I later presented the idea to my mother, and she suggested the ending. X3
Ku’shin - *sarcastic applaud* And thank you for reading Akkina’s crack-tastic works. We hope you enjoyed. Critique is always welcome, good bye.
