Demyx shouted behind him, “Hah! You won’t be able to catch me!”

Xaldin huffed, “Come back here with those plans, Demyx!” He chased Number Nine down the hallway.

Demyx stopped in front of a room. “Tired yet, Xaldin?”

Xaldin caught up with him. “What is your problem!? I need those plans to figure out an effective way of how we’re going to kill off the Heartless!”

“You want this?” Demyx taunted, dangling the plans. “Come and get it!” Xaldin shot him a glare. He clapped his hands together, and the wind blew the plans out of Demyx’s hands and into the room.

Xaldin slapped his hand against his face. “Well, that was stupid.”

“What?” Demyx said with a shrug, “Just go back in there and get it.”

“I’m not going in there.”

“Why not?”

“…That’s Meix’s room. You know very well that no men are allowed in there.”

Demyx laughed, “Don’t be such a chicken!” He pushed Xaldin towards the room. “Why don’t you go in there and simply ask Meix for the plans back?”

“…Fine.” Xaldin slowly went inside, inspecting the area.

“HELLO!?” Demyx shouted. “MEIX, YOU IN HERE!?”

“Ssh!” Number Three hissed. “Do you want us to get caught?” he whispered.

“Relax, Meix isn’t going to hurt us.” He saw something bright and shiny catch his attention. “What’s this?”

“Don’t touch anything.” Xaldin hissed. He looked around the room. “She isn’t here. Let’s hurry up and find those plans before she gets back.”

Demyx scratched his head. “Jeez, you blew those plans pretty far. That was stupid.” Demyx shut the door behind him.

Xaldin looked around the floor. “Hmm…they shouldn’t be too hard to find. Demyx, look under the bed.”

“Okay!” Number Nine crouched down to the floor, and poked his head under the bed. “OH MY GOSH! MY EYES!” He shouted. Xaldin jumped. Demyx bumped his head against the bed as he tried to get out.

Number Three spat, “What is it?”

Demyx covered his eyes. “I…found…something…horrible!”

Xaldin raised an eyebrow. “What exactly did you find?”

“There was…a bone down there, Xaldin! A human bone! With teeth marks! Oh my gosh, she killed someone!”

“Demyx,” Xaldin spoke as he crouched down to take a look, “don’t be ridiculous-” His mouth hung open, and he backed away from the bed. Xaldin took a deep breath. “Let’s just keep looking for the plans.”

Demyx nodded. He inspected the top of the dressers. Number Nine saw pictures of Meix and Roxas when they were younger with a woman and a man that looked like Xemnas. “Hey,” Demyx said as he held the picture, “this guy looks like Xehanort!”

Xaldin looked at the picture. “That’s because he is Xehanort. Xemnas is Xehanort’s Nobody.”

“Oh, right.” Demyx set the picture down. “Meix has a lot of sea shells.”

“Where are those plans!?” Xaldin said with frustration. “They couldn’t have gone too far.”

Demyx pointed up to the ceiling. “Maybe the fan blew them around someplace.” Xaldin gave a frustrated sigh. Xaldin and Demyx whipped their heads around at the sound of the door knocking.

“Meix?” Xemnas said behind the door. “Are you in there?” Demyx and Xaldin exchanged worried glances. The two ran around the room, then they both hid under the bed.

Xaldin hissed, “This was my hiding space first!”

“Oh, don’t be such a-” Demyx saw the bone in front of him. He opened his mouth, beginning to scream, but Xaldin quickly clamped his hand on his mouth.

They heard Meix outside the room. “Did you need me for something, Father?”

“Ah, yes. It‘s time for your training.”

“Okay. Oh, wait, I have to wash off my weapons first. Cleaning up the Heartless in Hollow Bastion was no joke.”

“Alright. I‘ll be out here waiting.”

Meix opened her door. “Okay!” She shut the door behind her. Meix summoned her Katanas, and walked over to her bathroom. Demyx gave a nervous whimper after Meix turned on the water. Xaldin signaled him to be quiet. Meix doused her swords in water from the sink, walked over to her bed, and sat down. Meix took out a towel, and started wiping off her weapons. She whistled. Underneath her bed, Demyx’s eyes widened as he spotted the plans across the room in Meix’s closet. He tapped Xaldin, and pointed to his direction. After Meix was finished washing off her swords, she stood up to leave. Meix stopped, sniffing the air. She walked over to her dresser and sniffed the air around it.

“Hmm.” Meix said to herself. She shrugged, then she left. Xaldin and Demyx came out after hearing the door close.

“I told you not to touch anything!” Xaldin hissed.

Demyx shot back, “How was I supposed to know that she was going to sniff her dresser? Huh?”

Meix snapped her fingers. “I forgot to turn off the faucet. I‘ll be right back.” She told Xemnas. She headed back to her room. When she opened the door, Demyx had already had the plans in his hand. He quickly hid in the closet. Xaldin hid in the bathroom. Meix walked into her bathroom, and turned off the faucet. She stopped after hearing something behind the shower curtains move. Meix unraveled the shower, and saw Xaldin standing in front of her. She started screaming. Demyx ran out of the closet, and tried to make a break for it. The screaming had attracted Xemnas, and he ran in the room. Demyx slammed into the Superior, and he fell backwards on the floor.

“Xaldin!” Meix shrieked.

“Superior!” Demyx shouted.

“Demyx!?” Xemnas roared. “What are you doing in Meix’s room!?”

Xaldin ran out of Meix’s bathroom with the siren hitting him with a towel. “Get out!”

Xemnas yelled, “Xaldin!?”

“Superior!”

“What is the meaning of this!?”

Meix folded her arms. “Yeah! Explain what you’re doing in my room! Especially in my bathroom!”

Xaldin replied, “Demyx had taken my plans, and they went into Meix’s room, so we went to go find them!” He turned to Meix. “We meant no harm, I promise you!”

“Explain what a human bone is doing in your room!” Demyx exclaimed.

Meix replied, “That’s not a human bone, that’s a replica of a bone. Vexen made it to solve my,” she looked away, “teething problem.” Meix blinked. “You went snooping around my stuff?”

Xaldin pointed at Demyx. “He did. I told him not to touch anything.”

Demyx spoke, “Sorry, Meix.”

Meix told them, “If something goes in my room, may you please come to me first? I don’t like people snooping around and touching my stuff.”

Xaldin nodded. “We understand. Our apologies.”

Demyx turned to the Superior. “You won’t punish us, will you?”

Xemnas shook his head. “I won’t as long as you two stay out of Meix’s room.”

Xaldin nodded. “Yes, sir.” He stepped out of Meix’s room with Demyx following.

Demyx sighed. “Well, that wasn’t so bad!”

“Did you get the plans?” Xaldin asked.

“Yep!” Demyx held them in his hand. Xaldin reached out to grab them, but Demyx jerked them back.

Xaldin exclaimed, “Wha-?”

Demyx laughed, “You have to catch me first!” He took off.

Number Three’s face grew red. “Demyx, you-! If I catch you,” he shouted, a lance appearing in his hand, “it won’t be pleasant!”
