"Cloud, sit down or I'm turning this ship around!" I yelled, keeping my eyes ahead of me. My hands gripped the co-pilot's driving handles, and Leon was sitting next to me, the pilot in charge, laughing.
"You can't turn it around, Rosaxi." he explained, putting his free hand on my shoulder. I felt myself blushing.
"Hahah, you're all bark, no bite..." Cloud teased behind me. I spun around and bit his hand, which was resting on the back of my chair.
"No bite, eh?" I laughed, and whacked the back of his head.
"Hey! Look up ahead." Leon yelled, and where he was pointing was toward the main destination, before anything else: Halloweentown.
"Sora told me Jack will be happy to accomadate us during our stay." I said, picking up my duffel bag. Cloud picked up his, which was next to mine.
"Let's go, then!" he said, jumping off the ship when we landed. The first person I saw was the tall skeleton I had met on my first trip here, Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King. I shook his hand.
"Jack, I'm so glad you're letting us stay here. Oh, this is Cloud, and Leon." Jack was smiling, near beaming.
"We're always glad to have a few guests!" he said. "And what better guest than one truly adapted to our ways." I smiled and blushed.
"You're too kind, Jack." I laughed, and Jack pointed us toward one of what I figured were apartment buildings, long abandoned. I skipped off after him, swinging my bag and feeling good. Leon and Cloud, unsure of the surroundings, followed him less willingly.
The sounds of screams filled the air as we walked into the run down building. An ominous feeling was all around and I spun around.
"Jack..." The skeleton man nodded in acknowledgment. "Have you had any problems with Heartless lately...?" Jack shook his head. Just as he did that, Heartless, along with some Nobodies, appeared. I groaned, and my Keyblade appeared in my hand.
"Uhm... I think I may have to take that back." Jack said.
~*~*~
After we had gotten rid of the Heartless and Nobodies, I smiled and said, "This place will be perfect."
"What?!" Cloud and Leon unisoned. I turned around and held my arms apart.
"Look at it! This is exactly what we were looking for! A getaway. A chance to get to know one another." Jack, sensing the tension in the air, bowed and excused himself. "Bye, Jack! Thanks again!" He waved back at me, and I turned back to Cloud and Leon. They still looked reluctant.
"Well," Leon started, reclining back on the rotting banister, "it's roomy." Cloud rolled his eyes and started playing with the tape on his sword.
"That's right, Leon!" I agreed. "Two bath, two bed..." This got me awkward stares.
"Well, who's going to be rooming?" Cloud said quietly, and I laughed.
"You guys honestly think I'm going to be a room with one of you? No no no. You two will be bunking together." I explained, and they started glaring at me. "I'm a girl. You are guys. Just... deal." I finalized, and walked upstairs to my room, a large, pumpkin wallpapered tower, and slammed the cobweb encrusted door. A cloud of dust fell up as I plopped down on the bed. I buried my face in the pale grey pillow and screamed. My screams were lost in the chorus of shrieks of bats flying out of the closet.
