[It wasn’t too long ago that Xion had taken it upon herself to invite Namine over to her new apartment, finding the amount of space to be a bit much when she was alone. The invitation to come over quickly turned into a full-fledged sleepover, and through an innocuous discussion about sweets the two eventually took it upon themselves to actually make some.

As the feed cuts on the two occupants of the room seem completely unaware that they’re being recorded. It’s a rather lovely view of Xion’s kitchen, if you use the term ‘lovely’ loosely. Her countertops are, to put it simply, a mess. There’s as much milk and egg covering the surfaces as there is in the bowl, and everything’s managed to get a liberal dusting of brownie mix. A few baking pans, until now never used, are piled up off to the side of everything. Centerpiece to the entire disaster is a mixing bowl with something that is awfully thick and lumpy to be brownie batter.]

I thought baking would be easier than this...

[Naminé attempted to brush off the access brownie mix off of her hands, why was baking so hard? Xion's in a similar state, struggling to brush it off her coat and gloves as well before giving up and just removing the garments altogether. She'll have to clean them later.]

Do you think we used too much of this stuff?

[Naminé thought for a moment, giving the counter a good look at.]

We followed the directions, didn't we?

I... think so?

[She's looking around for the box now, avoiding a spot on the counter where some of the batter had spilled out of the bowl.]

You said this stuff was like cake, right?

Yes, it looks like cake, so it should be the same...

[Okay, maybe not. She takes a spoon and whirls it around in the bowl.
Xion gives up on the search for the box once she reaches her garbage bin. If it's in there it's surely covered in eggshells by now.]

Well I guess until the first batch come out of the oven we won't know for sure.

[Namine stops spinning the spoon around and leaves it in the bowl.]

I guess so...what should we do know while we wait?

Oh! Well there's...

[...

...what was there to do? When she'd proposed the idea of a sleepover she'd just been eager for the company, but now that Namine was actually here Xion was realizing just how bad she was at entertaining guests.

Naminé joins in on this thinking. Really they were both new to the whole "sleepover" thing, Naminé's never even been over to someone else's place before. She's so used to doing things on her own that when it comes to group things, her mind is blank for ideas.]

What...else do people do at sleepovers?

...I wouldn't really know.

[It's not like the Organization exactly provided the best environment for learning about them. She eyeballs her SFC across the room, surprised to find the recording light on. It doesn't affect her initial idea, though.]

We could always ask.

[Namine nods, staring at the SFC as well.] That sounds like a good idea.

[Taking the affirmation, Xion crosses the room and brings her SFC back to where both she and Namine are visible. Really, she's looking rather abashed over the whole thing.]

So, I guess everyone heard all that.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[Seriously guys help they don’t have a clue what they’re doing.]

[Roxas has never attempted any cooking more complicated than toast, so he's not about to pass judgment on their efforts. Still, he does spend a few moments staring in admiration at the mess they've made before he collects himself, considers the question, and offers his little bit of wisdom.]

Pillow fights.

Oh, and I think you're supposed to braid each other's hair.

[ W O W.

Awesome mess there.]

Looks like you both had a war with the pantry. [He'll flash a grin.] Movies. You're supposed to watch movies or play games. I guess games would be hard with just two people.

[He chuckles a little at the cooking effort. Nice try, gals.]

Um... girly things? Like... talkin' about boys, and or stuff with hair and make-up?

How do you braid hair?

[They worked very hard on that mess, mister. Very hard.]

What's...a movie?

[And here was another.]

You, Rox, and a lot of others. What kinds of stories do the two of you like? Also where are you? I'll run a couple movies over.

Oh wait, I think I know this one! It's like a story only you watch it, right?

[Xion doesn't know about Namine, but she hasn't even heard a lot of stories, really.]

Yutopil 2-02. I guess you should bring a whole bunch of different ones...

And why would you want us to fight?

[poor, poor, sheltered child.

At braiding, Xion just fiddles with the ends of her own, very short, hair. If it was anything like the stuff she'd seen other girls do with their hair at the Masquerade then she's out of luck.]

[Mickey do you see this kitchen? Do you really want to steer them towards cosmetics?]

What's so special about talking about boys?

[She's heard some stories...key word being some...]

Watching stories...? Like acting it out?

[That's a negative on cosmetics, Mickey.]

Did they do something that we should talk about?

You take three strands and-- [...no, he doesn't actually know.] I'm not sure.

But, pillow fights are really fun. I mean, it's not like pillows hurt.

Pretty much. It's basically people putting on a show, but it all gets recorded. I'll bring a little bit of every thing then. [Zombiefish, Killer dinos, sappy romances, comedy, and some sort of action flick. Complete with fish puns!

Maybe he should snag The Lionfish King to be safe. Animated family films were always a safe bet.]

Yutopil, huh? Sounds familiar. [It reminded him of... oh!] I think you live next door to a friend of mine. That will make it easier.

[Wait for it.]

[Pffffhahahahahaha snort cackle awwwwww]

You guys. Are too. Adorable.

[He scratches his head.]

Gee, I always thought girls liked talkin' about boys and romance and mushy stuff like that... least, that's what the girls back home do for these sorta things.

[She perks up at the mention of her neighbors]

Really? You know Roxas and Axel?

R-really?

[So that's what he meant. You forget you're talking to a pair of one year olds, Mickey.]

I don't really know much about that kind of stuff...

[First you squish her face and play with her hair, now this?]

Oh come on Axel, it's not like we've done this before.

O-Oh...I don't really know much about that either...

[Namine refrains herself from answering Xion's question herself.]

I didn't know Roxas and Axel lived next door.

So you...fight with pillows? How do you fight with pillows?

[You've lost her, Roxas.]

I know Roxas. Don't think I've met Axel yet.

[Or has he? Actually he spoke to him once or twice. Didn't catch a name.]

Are you friends with Rox? He hasn't seen movies either.

[A for effort]

I guess there would be a lot of throwing them around?

Yeah, I am. That's kind of how I ended up moving to this apartment since they're both just next door.

[Yes. It's all out of affection, Xion!]

I never said it was bad.

[Snort]

There really aren't any rules. You just try to hit each other.

So, do we stand still or move around?

I guess it would be nice to be closer to your friends.

That's pretty sweet actually. [And he's like six floors above you as well.

Which sounds kind of crazy or weird.]

I'll be over in a few. And I'm not an ax murderer or anything.
