"How are your legs feeling?" Demyx asked as he looked into Axel's room.

"Better." Axel said from his bed, "I can walk again."

"That's good." Demyx said, and entered Axel's room. He sat down in Axel's desk chair, and pushed himself across the room, "That was some week." the chair stopped next to Axel.

"One I'll never do again." Axel said, and pushed Demyx.

"At least we all got to go where we wanted." Demyx stopped himself from hitting the door, and pushed himself back.

"Yes, but one of us suffered in each world. Actually, all three of us suffered in Marly's world." Axel pushed Demyx.

"Have you seen Xigbar yet?" Demyx pushed himself back.

"Not yet, he's still on his mission." he pushed Demyx.

"Do you know when he gets back?" Demyx pushed himself.

"No. But knowing him, he'll find a way to make himself noticed." he pushed Demyx.

"Guess all that's left to do is wait." Demyx said. He was ready to push himself as the chair came closer to the door, but it suddenly opened, and he rolled out.

Roxas walked in, looking back at Demyx.

"What brings you here?" Axel asked.

"Xigbar's back." Roxas answered, turning his attention to Axel, "He wanted me to come find you."

"Look like it's time." Axel said, sitting up.

"Time for what?" Roxas answered.

"Time to tell Xigbar that I paid my debt"

"You mean from when you tried to get Demyx to-"

"I know what it was for." Axel cut in, "I don't need you telling me."

"No need to be rude." Roxas said, "He's going to be in the Grey Room in ten minutes."

"Got it."

"Good luck." Roxas said as he left the room.

"Roxas can you give me a little help?" Demyx asked from outside the room.

"Sure Demyx." Roxas responded.

A few seconds later, Demyx came back rolling into the room.

"You ready to go?" Axel asked, stopping the chair with his foot.

"You have your story straight?" Demyx asked.

"You know I can get out of anything." Axel said.

Demyx rolled his eyes.

"Don't doubt me." Axel said, and pushed the chair away from him.

"I'm not doubting, I'm just skeptical." Demyx said, stopping in front of the desk.

"Don't be." Axel said, getting off his bed and heading towards the door, "I have everything I'm going to say planned out. It'll go great."

"If you say so." Demyx said, following Axel out the room.

Axel and Demyx entered the Grey Room, and it was practically empty. Only a single hooded figure sat in one of the couches, busy reading a book.

"Who's that?" Demyx asked.

"Don't know." Axel said, approaching the figure.

When they got closer to the figure, they saw that it was reading a gardening book.

"I wonder who that could be?" Axel sarcastically said.

"Hi Marly." Demyx said.

Marluxia looked up from his book. "Hello." he said , and returned his attention to his book.

"What are you reading?" Demyx asked, sitting down next to Marluxia.

"My tulips have been wilting lately, and I have no idea why." Marluxia responded.

"That's fascinating." Axel said with a sarcastic tone as he sat on the other side of Marluxia, "What's with the hood?"

"What hood?" Marluxia asked.

"The one from your cloak?" Axel said, reaching for Marluxia's hood.

Marluxia stopped Axel's hand with his book. "I like to wear my hood when I read." Marluxia said, and lowered his book.

"But you hate wearing your hood." Demyx said.

"No I don't."

"Yes you do." Axel said, "You're always complaining about how it messes up you hair. So either you come up with a better excuse, or I 'll force the hood off."

"Look Xigbar." Marluxia said, pointing to the entrance.

Xigbar entered the Grey Room, and went to Axel, Demyx, and Marluxia, stopping in front of them.

"Alright Pyro," Xigbar said, "the week is up. Did you go or not?"

Axel chuckled. "Well I'm pleased to tell you that I did spend all week in Atlantica." he said, standing up.

"I don't believe you." Xigbar said.

"But he did go Xiggy." Demyx said, standing up as well, "Marly and I went with him and kept him there."

"So Pinky went too huh?"

"Yes, I did." Marluxia said, putting his book down and standing up, "We took him to Atlantica, and we stayed with him."

"I believe you more than these two, but one thing," Xigbar said, "I thought he couldn't walk after coming out of Atlantica."

"Damn it!" Axel thought. "Um, well, you see, what happened was that-Ow!" Axel shouted when he felt a sharp pain in his leg. The pain was too much to bear, and he fell to the ground.

"Huh?"

"Late reaction." Demyx said.

Xigbar looked from one, to the other, to the other. "Fine." he said, "I believe you did go to Atlantica."

"Thank you." Axel painfully said.

"You're lucky." Xigbar said, "Otherwise you would have had to pay a hefty price." Xigbar left, but stopped at the entrance, "Next time, think before you bet." he said, and left.

"That was close." Axel said as he sat up, "Ow."

"Are you okay?" Demyx asked.

"I think so, but my leg hurts-Ow." Axel lifted his cloak, and saw that a thorny vine was wrapped around his left leg, "What the! Marly!"

"I had to do it." Marluxia said.

"Why!" Axel asked.

"Because Xigbar wasn't going to believe us unless you were not able to walk."

"Couldn't you have kicked me in the leg or something! Why did it have to be a vine!"

Marluxia shrugged. "I like vines."

"Marly." Axel growled, burning off the vine

"You owe me one." Marluxia said, leaving. But before he could get out of reach, Demyx reached out and pulled of Marluxia's hood.

Axel burst out laughing. "What happened to you!" he asked through laughs.

"No!" Marluxia said, grabbing his head.

His hair was no longer the light pink it was, but instead, it was a pinkish white with a single white streak on his right.

"Demyx how could you!" Marluxia asked

"An eye for an eye." Demyx said, "Or in this case, a leg for a head"

"Demyx." Marluxia complained.

"So what happened?" Axel asked, standing up, "Did you run out of hair dye or something?"

"I already told you that I don't dye my hair."

"Then what happened?" Axel asked.

Marluxia sighed. "My version of your legs." he said.

"Why don't you ever explain things directly?"

"Why can't you be any smarter!" Marluxia snapped.

"Marly, if you could, could you please explain what you mean?" Demyx asked.

"Very well." Marluxia sighed, crossing his arms, "For some reason, whenever I spend to much time in Atlantica, my hair starts to turn white. Had we stayed there the entire week, this white streak would have spread over all my hair."

"So we would have had grandpa Marluxia?" Axel asked through a laugh.

"That's not funny!" Marluxia said.

"How come we never noticed it before?" Demyx asked.

"Because my hair only changed by a shade or two, it was barely noticeable."

"Are you going to see Vexen about this?" Demyx asked.

"No. I'm not going to go to some crazy scientist who poses as a doctor." Marluxia said.

"A hairstylist then?" Axel asked.

"No. I'm not going to trust some stranger with my lavish locks."

"Then what are you going to do old timer?" Axel asked.

"What I've been doing." Marluxia said, putting his hood back on, "Remain in solitude until my hair goes back to normal. And heaven knows how long that will take."

"Don't do that." Demyx said, "Being alone is no fun. Trust me, I've been through it."

"He's right Marly." Axel said, resting his arm on Demyx's shoulder, "If you lock yourself up all day, you'll be mistaken for a lonely person, or worst, a Zexion."

"Though that would be tragic, I would rather have that than have my hair be seen."

"Fine, have it your way." Axel said, leaving the room and dragging Marluxia with him.

"Wait, where are you taking me?" Marluxia asked.

"Wait for me!" Demyx called as he went after them.

Axel continued dragging Marluxia down the halls of the Castle, and stopped in front of Marluxia's room.

"What are we doing here?" Marluxia asked.

"Granting your wish." Axel said as he opened the door, and shoved Marluxia in.

"What wish?" Marluxia asked as he turned to the door, but had it slammed in his face.

"You said you wanted to stay in solitary confinement, so I'm helping you with that. I even volunteered to stand guard out here so you won't escape." Axel said from the other side of the door.

"This isn't what I meant!" Marluxia said.

"I don't know what your definition of confinement is," Axel said, "but according to the dictionary, it means being trapped in one area."

"I can't survive in here forever."

"Sure you can."

"What arm I supposed to eat?"

"You have flowers."

"I am not going to eat my children!"

"Then you should have thought of that before you begged for your solitary."

"I didn't beg for this!"

"Isn't this a bit harsh?" Demyx asked.

"He asked for this." Axel answered.

"But you didn't have to go to this extreme." Demyx said.

"I'm just helping a friend."

"Then how about I help you." Demyx said.

A few seconds later, Axel was shoved into the room, the door slamming shut behind him.

"Demyx!" Axel shouted, "Why did you shove me in here!"

"You said you were going to be Marly's guard, so I'm making it easier for you." Demyx answered.

"Demyx open the door or I'll melt the doorknob off!"

"You melt that doorknob, and I'm not going to be the only one with hair problems." Marluxia said.

"Then how else am I supposed to get out!"

"Let me think, how do we normally get around?" Marluxia said.

"I hate it when you remind me of the obvious." Axel said as he summoned a dark portal, and went through it.

A little time later, Demyx was shoved into the room, Axel following and closing the door behind him.

"Now all of us can be in confinement." Axel said.

"Axel the point of confinement is to be alone, not with other people." Marluxia said.

"Would you rather me and Demyx be outside and risk speaking about your hair to everyone?"

"No."

"Then what do you think the smart thing to do is?" Axel asked.

Marluxia groaned as he put his face in his hands. "Why is it that I'm the oldest, yet you always manage to make the decisions?" he asked.

"Because I outrank the both of you." Axel said.

"Why does it always go back to the ranks?" Marluxia asked.

"What are we going to do?" Demyx asked, looking around the room.

"Want to help me water my flowers? Your element would be very useful." Marluxia said.

"Okay." Demyx said, following Marluxia to the flower shelves

"Axel don't you dare start a fire. My room is highly flammable." Marluxia said.

"Then what am I supposed to do for fun?" Axel asked.

"There's a corner, go sulk." Marluxia said.

"The things I do for my friends." Axel said as he followed Demyx and Marluxia.
