Yes, another new story. Not the one I was going to put up, but I wasn't sure if this would fit anywhere in my other stories, so yeah. Mostly just Axel finding a way to amuse himself when he has nothing better to do. No idea where this came from, but it was amusing to type. So, hopefully it is amusing to read. And I rated it T, just because I felt like it.

It was a slow day in the World That Never Was. Xemnas had decided to allow a day of rest before getting back to work. Most of the organization members decided to use it to catch up on their sleep. Others were tricked into playing card games with Luxord.

Axel was just plain bored. He watched Vexen, Roxas and Demyx talking each other while resting on chairs. Boring. Nearby, Marluxia and Larxene were discussing something seemingly important, but kept being interrupted by Xigbar. Boring.

Axel sighed. He was very bored. He wanted to do something…Axel suddenly grinned mischievously. He had an idea.

---

Roxas slumped in his chair. "Hey…does it feel hotter in here, or is it just me?" He was tiring of the conversation, and really wanted a sea-salt ice cream.

Demyx glanced around. "Now that you mention it…yeah." The castle couldn't just suddenly get warmer...could it?

"..." Roxas was staring off into space. 'Maybe a few sea-salt ice creams...and something to drink...maybe get someone to go with me to a beach...'

Vexen looked around, until he spotted Axel approaching them all, swaggering (Larxene, Marluxia and Xigbar had fallen silent).

"Hey." Axel said with a cool smile.

"It's getting hotter in here." Vexen commented, eyeing Axel suspiciously. It had to be Axel making the temperature rise. What was he thinking?

"Is there a fire?" Demyx asked. He glanced around.

"Where's the fire?" Roxas asked, beginning to panic. He wouldn't get any ice cream if the castle burned down...the ice cream would melt!

Axel broke into a giant grin. Allowing some flames to spark around him, Axel struck a pose and indicated himself with some more flames. "Right here! I'm hot!" He continued to grin, taking in the others reactions.

Roxas, Demyx and Xigbar were laughing, Marluxia looked irritated, and Larxene didn't seem to know what to think. Axel continued to grin. He should really do this more often.

Axel turned his attention to Vexen, who was massaging his temples. "What's wrong Vexy? Am I too hot to handle? Or are you... not cool enough to stand my brilliance in the spotlight?" Axel laughed at his own joke, while also dodging to the side as Vexen sent some very large and meanacing icicles his way. Immediately, the room dropped back down to normal temperature.

Vexen was glaring at Axel. "If you want to be useful, why don't you light some of the fireplaces in the castle?"

"Yeah...right." Axel responded in a sarcastic voice, but began to walk towards a door anyway. He halted suddenly, spinning about and striking another pose. Before he fled the room, Axel sent an enormous fireball in Vexen's direction, alternately laughing and singing a song.

Demyx leaned over to whisper to Roxas. "Hw long do you think until Vexen forgets about this?"

Roxas watched Vexen rush out of the room, singed and furious, to chase after the laughing Axel. "I don't know…"

There was an explosion and a furious curse.

Xigbar came over grinning, apparently having heard the question. "I'd give it a week, at the least."

Later in the day, Xemnas sent Vexen off on a mission in attempts to get the castle quiet.

Axel watched in amusement as a furious Vexen left the castle. He really should do that more often. Maybe he should bother Saix the next time.

I'd appreciate some reviews to let me know if this was any good. I think this may be a one-shot, unless people think I should continue it or something.

So...thanks for reading and/or reviewing!

And yes, some of you may think I'm an evil, horrible person or something for not updating other stories that I have. I am getting to them, but sometimes, if a story that hasn't been updated for over two and a half weeks, it usually means that I'm waiting for an idea to hit me over the head so that I can type a new chapter.
