Life and Times of Organization XIII V2

Roxas was walking down the halls in the Castle that Never Was. He'd recieved a mysterious letter slid under his door that said, "Secret Meeting. Marluxia's Room after breakfast. Don't tell the Superior!" It had sounded urgent, so Roxas had decided to go. Little did he know how un-urgent this was.

Marluxia was waiting in his room. He'd invited everyone to his secret meeting except Xemnas--this was about him--Xaldin, Lexaeus, and Larxene, who had been sent on some mission or another. Hopefully, everyone would come like they were supposed to and they could discuss some "plans."

When Roxas knocked, Marluxia was overjoyed. "Come on in, Roxas! Have a seat anywhere." He gestured to the dozens of benches in his greenhouse of a room. "We're still waiting for everybody else."

"Hiya hiya hiya!" Marluxia cried brightly, dragging Axel and Demyx into the room as they approached. "The meeting'll start when all the others get here." He hoped the others would show up. If they didn't... Well, he had carnivorous plants for that. It was still early. Perhaps the others were still sleeping or hadn't finished breakfast yet.

"It's a secret!" Marluxia said. "If I say anything before I make sure he isn't listening, then he'll probably find out like usual and the plan will be ruined before it's even been planned."

"So we're left in the dark until everyone gets here?" Roxas asked. He then scooted a little closer to Axel. For protection. There was a nearby plant that seemed far too interested in him--his hair in particular--for his liking. It was making him nervous. He hoped it would leave him alone if he were closer to the pyro.

Marluxia grinned. "Glad you could all make it!" he said, grinning. Then he paused. "Hey, where are Zexion and Xigbar? Well, Zexion I didn't expect to show, but Xiggy loves to be involved in this kinda stuff." He shrugged. "Oh well. Let's get this meeting under way. Sit down, everyone!"

He then moved to the front of the room and said, "As you all know, I love any excuse to celebrate. Christmas, Halloween... Birthdays." He grinned. The last birthday had been Luxord's, and they'd all gone to a bar to get drunk. That had been a fun party, even if none of them really remembered it. "And as we all know, there is only one person who avoids my celebration-tendencies: the Superior. Every time I try to make him come to parties or whenever I throw one for his birthday, he disappears somewhere!" This was frustrating.

"So, we're going to throw a super secret surprise party! And after everything's ready, we'll drag him in kicking and screaming!"

Roxas frowned. "You haven't celebrated my birthday." Then he stopped. "What is a birthday?" he asked, looking up at Axel.

And for those wondering, the plant was now inching closer and closer to Axel's head. It smelled hair gel, it's favorite food, and it was hungry.

"Focus, everyone, focus! We need to assign jobs to everyone to get this party under way!" He sighed. "I had a job in mind for Xigbar, but he's not here yet... So!" He grinned. "Who wants to help me?"
