AN: Written for Shiritori. Everybody gets sent to Agrabah a little too much.
Team Axel Goes to Agrabah
“First of all,” Lea said, “this has not and never will be ‘Team Axel.’”
“Aww, don’t be such a hardass, this is really close!” Demyx replied, putting his hands on his hips. Lea stuck another spoonful of cereal in his mouth, eyeing Demyx. “It’s like the good old days, except Roxas is like a real person now!”
“I’m not LIKE a real person, I AM a real person,” Roxas retorted, dragging his eyes away from his Gummiphone finally. “And what’s so important you had to Dark Corridor into our apartment before noon on a Saturday?”
“I might have broken a few eensy weensy vials of Ienzo’s something or other.” Demyx waved a hand. “But the good news is that we get to go on a buddy mission to one of your FAVORITE places!”
Roxas and Lea exchanged a glance while Demyx waited expectantly.
“Agrabah!” Demyx exclaimed. He did a little jazz hands.
“Pass,” Lea replied.
“Hard pass,” Roxas agreed.
“Guyyyys,” Demyx whined, slumping so that his arms dangled. “Come on, I need a team, I’m just a pretty face! We’re so good together! Lea’s the muscle, and Roxas—”
“Say he’s the brains, I dare you,” Lea interrupted. Roxas elbowed him hard enough to knock some cereal pieces into his lap. “Oof! My Mickey-Os!”
“We’ll go on two conditions,” Roxas said.
Lea groaned. “Don’t encourage this guy! My cartoons are on!”
“One, you buy us lunch in bazaar,” Roxas held up one finger. “Two, you have to dress like an Agrabah dancing girl the whole time.”
“Done and done!” Demyx let his black coat drop to reveal a turquoise two-piece, complete with gold bangles and gauzy pants. “It’s like a billion degrees there, I don’t know why anybody wears anything else. I know it’s little Jasmine two years ago, but the color is SO flattering.”
“OK, this is happening I guess,” Lea sighed, plonking down his cereal bowl on the coffee table. He gave Roxas a shove. “Get up, the sooner this starts the sooner it ends.”
“It’ll be so fast, I only need like four Gust Crystals and maybe an Orichalcum,” Demyx said, making Roxas groan. “So if anybody sees that fancy gumball machine guy in the bazaar, definitely share with the group, but do NOT eat any candy he gives you! That’s some advice from personal experience.”
“Why would you eat anything a Heartless gives you?” Roxas demanded as he stood up, patting down his pockets for his keychains.
“It’s a GUMBALL machine, and all synthesis pieces look like candy!” Demyx protested, one hand on his jingling hip, the other waving open another Dark Corridor. “Don’t let this guy tell you he’s never put one of those in his mouth, that’s a LIE.”
“I ate a Blizzard Shard one time because nobody had any mints in any of their seven hundred pockets!” Lea snapped. He grabbed Roxas by the shoulders to hustle him towards the corridor. “Don’t at me, everybody tries the forbidden rock candy sooner or later. Oh, wait, I don’t have my—”
“Team Axel away!” Demyx announced, shoving Lea hard enough that he and Roxas tumbled through the corridor.
A blast of heat whooshed over them as they fell down and landed hard on a heap of sand in the alley beside the bazaar.
“Ugh,” Roxas said, climbing to his feet and pulling off a sneaker to dump sand out of it. “Already it starts.”
“Agrabah! Brought to you by sand!” Demyx said with a two-handed flourish. “It’s everywhere, get used to it.”
