Bolin, with the help of Spirits, Moogles, and various other people had finally finished setting up the party. There were tables laden with different kinds of food of course and decorations everywhere. They'd made sure to clear a space for dancing and Perry the Platypus had volunteered to DJ with some equipment borrowed from the moogles for the night. Bolin wished there could be more people so they could have games and stuff like a proper street festival...but for what he had he felt it was pretty good.

Now they just needed people to show up for the fun.

"You were too busy?"

It almost didn't seem right that a girl Xion's age should be made to work so hard.

Cactus scampered ahead, eager to get to the food.

"Me to," he agreed, keeping an eye on Trouble. He gave her a look that suggested the same thing. She would have to behave in order to get some treats.

Sorry, wrong account

[skysmirror]

"Yeah. We all were."

Right or not, that was the way it had been. Skipping out on missions had never been an option.

Barkley ran to keep up with Cactus. No calling dibs on the food!

Xion sighed. At least Barkley could usually be counted on to behave. "You'd think we never feed them."

No worries

[brodakota]

Dibs? Were they calling dibs? Trouble galloped ahead, determined to be the first one there. And with those long legs, it certainly seemed likely.

"No kidding. Trouble, I fed you half an hour ago!" he called after the Thunderaffe.

[skysmirror]

No, no they weren't calling dibs. Hadn't Trouble heard what Barkley had just said? The Meow Wow just shook his head and hurried to keep up even more.

"You named her Trouble?" Xion couldn't help laughing, even as she sped up to keep the wayward Spirits in sight.

[brodakota]

The problem with Trouble is that she has very selective hearing, much to North's annoyance.

"The name seemed to fit. She gets into everything," North replied, his voice somewhere between laughter and exasperation.

[skysmirror]

Some Spirits were like that. Some people, too, for that matter. Manda simply sighed and settled into Xion's arms. No races for her.

"It looks like she needs a little more teaching than some of the others." Xion knew that tone, she was prone to using it herself when it came to some of her Spirits.

[brodakota]

"Yeah, it's a bit harder than I thought it was going to be. It's like she forgets what we worked on sometimes."

It's not that she forgets, just that she's a little absent minded. But she tries, most of the time.

[skysmirror]

"She sounds like Demyx." Xion laughed a little. While she hadn't disliked Demyx, he'd seemed to always forget what he had to do. Saix was always after him to write reports.

Though, like the Spirits, when needed he could be quite good in a fight. His water clones and dancers had been tame enough around the castle, but she'd seen them do some damage on missions.

[brodakota]

"Is Demyx one of your friends?" North had to pause a little, working his way through the strange name. It wasn't one that he was really familiar with.

Though it was hard to imagine someone out there like Trouble.

[skysmirror]

"Not quite a friend, but we worked together, and he was nice." He was very nice when he wasn't trying to get Xion or Roxas to do most of the work on shared missions. Like the time she'd found him playing for his dancers and they'd started whirling her around, too. "But sometimes he could be a little forgetful."

[brodakota]

"Yeah, they do sound a bit similar. Was he hungry all the time? That's another thing Trouble likes to do."

Hunt down all of the treats and eat them, regardless of if other spirits were around.

[skysmirror]

Xion shook her head. "No, but he was always playing music and trying to avoid work."

Seriously, she and Roxas had had to share tips on how to make sure Demyx didn't slack off.

[brodakota]

"Yeah, sounds like he was a bit of a handful. At least Trouble doesn't avoid the training."

It was just ineffective.

[skysmirror]

'A bit of a handful' was an understatement. Chasing after Demyx for reports would have been enough to keep Saix busy. This wasn't the time to go into that, though. "He was."

It was at that point Axel squeaked at Xion plaintively. Weren't they going to look around a little more? Xion sighed. "I'm sorry, but I think he wants to move on."

[brodakota]

"Alright, we can keep going. Did you have a destination in mind?"

There was always the dance floor, or the games. And North really wasn't sure how to go about this. Had it really been that long since he'd been to a party?

[skysmirror]

"Not really, I was just looking around."

Either dancing or games might be interesting, but Xion didn't know much about either. This wasn't just her first party. It was also her first time trying a lot of the things here.

[brodakota]

"Well, it's your choice. We can do whatever you want," North said, being somewhat cheeky. It was hard to make a decision, but since it was Xion's first party, she should decide what they do.

Use this to segue to their respective game threads?

[skysmirror]

"Why don't we try the games first?"

It was nice of North to let Xion choose. Not that the decision was any easier for her, but it was still nice.
