November 25th
ROXAS
Ugh, why so early? Its six in the morning. If the Superior thinks he's doing us a favour, or that getting up earlier is more 'efficient', he's wrong. Wrong like he was about his love for Kingdom Hearts, now THAT was an entertaining weekend. The Superior wants us to work so we can have a “nice Christmas, with decorations, presents and cookies!” honestly, it sounds like one of Demyx's bonehead suggestions.
Still, I'm not getting up. I refuse to. In maybe, four hours I'll consider it, but, not just yet, no. Seriously, who can be bothered to get up before the sun? Saix maybe, but he's just weird, his love for the moon really scares me.
Why am I thinking? Its too early to think. I need sleep. Lets see...hmm...one neoshadow...two neoshadows...three neoshadows...hey what the hell?
I wake up to see Axel, with his torched finger, brighter than the sun. Then again, at...6:05 AM, anything is brighter than the sun. Wait a minute, 6:05?! I slept for 5 minutes?! I'm going to kill him, I really am. His cocky smile, long, spiky bright red hair, bright green eyes, heh, he kinda looks like christmas.
“I know I know, but Xemnas wanted me to wake you, you are, after all...seven minutes late for breakfast. If you don't want to fight with Lexaeus for the leftovers, I suggest we go now.”
“Ok fine, Axel, what's for breakfast?”
“I don't know, and at this rate, I won't. Now lets go!”
Axel dragged me by the hands out of my bed, then I staggered to my feet and started walking...straight into my bedroom door. Open the door, keep going. I walked slowly through a corridor that seemed like it never ended, but finally, I approached the “table of 13 seats.” Axel wasn't kidding, everyone is here, all 13 of us. Most of the table already had their black coats on, ready to work. Marluxia, Demyx, me, and a couple of others were still in their pj's, so at least I wasn't the odd one out.
Our table consists of Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Zexion, Lexaeus, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, and me.
It was Xaldin's turn to cook, and he's not half bad, I'm just thankful we don't have Larxene's cooking for breakfast. Let's just say her cooking 'zapped' us, literally. I think she has a grudge against us, but knowing her, she'd have a grudge against anyone.
“Ok, are eggs ok for everyone?” Xaldin kindly asked.
“Yes.”
“Fried or scrambled?”
“Poached.”
We all turned around to Zexion, who HAD to be different and difficult. He looked at Vexen, not even he was on his side this time, so he knows he screwed up. “heh heh heh, I'll have fried.”
“Nice save” Xigbar whispered. After talking with the rest of us for a while, Xigbar gave the order to Xaldin, “Zexion, Axel, Saix, Demyx, Roxas and I will have fried eggs, the rest will have scrambled. Thankyou.” Sometimes, mornings at the table are awesome.
We each got our breakfast, which was undoubtedly delicious. When Xaldin suggested eggs, all of our faces lit up. That's a hard thing to do this early in the morning. Everybody has their 'bests' when it comes to cooking, Xaldin's is eggs, thank God!
While Lexaus was fighting with the other scrambled egg people for the sauce and the fried egg people happily enjoying their breakfast, Xemnas had to discuss the duties for the day.
“Next month is Christmas, and we have a lot to do before it comes, including trees, lights, cookies and Secret Santas. Seeing as I will not take part in the Secret Santa, I will be organising the partnerships. Now, lets get started.”
We were given our duties for the day. Axel, Larxene and Marluxia went to set up the lights, Xigbar, Xaldin and Lexaus are setting up the tree, and Demyx, Luxord and I are making the cookies. Fortunately for us, Demyx's 'best' is cookies. Saix, Zexion and Vexen have the day off, which I think is kind of annoying, but its good they're off, they can help us critique our work. Today's mission was to make chocolate chip cookies, give them to Vexen for testing, Zexion for critical analasis and Saix, well, because he wants a cookie. Its hard work because the Superior wants them to be perfect.
We finished off our first batch and handed it to Vexen. “Hmmmm, this batch doesn't seem to have any poisonous items, though these chips are pretty sharp, they could damage the tooth. But nevermind the chips, why is there such a high sugar content in these biscuits?”
“Because their cookies?” I replied. Vexen goes a bit insane over healthy food. They have to have an equal balance of everything, so its hard to get our cookies past them. “Vexen, they have such a high sugar content because they are a sweet desert after the Christmas dinner. Is that ok?”
“That's fine. Just be aware that I will not be eating them if I had such a high load of sugar on Christmas day. Your batch has passed the test, I'll take them to Zexion for further analysis.”
We waited for a while for Zexion to come back, we didn't want to make another batch just in case he didn't think it was good. Zexion is the most critical person in the Organisation, he will pick out any and every fault in anything. Not only that, but if he doesn't think is good, he'll tell everyone else, and then no one will eat them, so its important to get this right.
In about five minutes Zexion came back with our batch, “Hmmm, not bad, you've definitely improved since last time, however I still don't like a couple of things. One of them would be, that the cookie has too many cracks, which may cause it to crumble. Also, some cookies have more chips than others, thats unfair to someone who has less chocolate and on that note, some are smaller than others. But other than that, Its a great batch! Keep making them and I guarantee you will improve!” I said Zexion was very critical, didn't I?
“Don't worry, Roxy, Vexen liked them, which is good enough! We'll just take Zexion's critique on board and try next time!” Trust Demyx to be the real optimistic one. “Yeah, there's always next time.”
