Things finally seemed to clear in my head.
"Triskix? Triskix you awake?" someone asked.
"Meh....I don't want to listen," I answered.
Suddenly a fireball nearly crashed into my head. I moved my arm up to block it.
"Wha????" I said sitting up in bed.
I was wide awake now! I sat up and looked around.
"Well morning sleepy head," Axel said in his usual manner as he walked to the other end of my room and began going through my books. "You need to stop staying up so late pranking people. Vexen tells me you nealy destroyed his lab....again......And what is this about Marluxia's closet that I have been hearing about??"
"Oh morning Axel...." I said yawning, "I was just having fun with Lexian and Lerxia......"
"Heh I though you feared Lerxia," Axel laughed.
"No I don't....well not anymore...." I laughed, "It's all good now."
"Says the one that nearly got chopped to pieces by Lerxia a few days ago...." Axel answered.
"Axel, I didn't......don't be like that......we're good friends now.....And besides....everyone else was there too......we all were just having fun....."
"Well if you were all having fun then today is going to be fun as I watch you scrub the castle floors till I can see my reflection in them," Axel finally said.
"What! No way....that's mean," I complained.
"You're the one that broke the rules," Axel answered.
"But they did too!" I answered, "Do they get a punishment?"
"Only if their masters chose to," Axel answered. He handed me a scrub brush and sent me to work. A few hours went by, and soon my arms were numb......
"Man....who does he think he is....making me work like this. I'm not a dog. I bet he just wants to spite me. Baka Axel!"
Suddenly the indifference I had began to establish washed over me, and everything subsided into a numb nothingness in my head. Axel had said that I had to learn control and to not show emotions unless nessisary, and I guess this was the fruit of all his work on me.
I scrubbed the floor a bit more and soon began to see my reflection in the floor. The outline of my face was still blured, but anger twitched in me. I worked up a fireball and slamed it at the floor. The tile cracked, and I regreted having done it instantly.
"Now they won't all look alike...." I said to myself, "And the black tiles will have more than the white. This sucks."
