Axel and Maximum turned around to see Saix. The younger nobody grinned as her eyes shined at the sight of the blue haired nobody.

"Oh hi Saïx! I was just talking to Axel, do you want to come and join us?" Saïx hesitated at this and Max pouted. "Please Saïx, come on! Pleeeeeaaaaassseee!" He rolled his eyes with a smirk and shook his head.

"Okay, okay, you win Maximum." The golden eyed nobody sat next to the girl.

"Wow, that's the first time you've called me 'Maximum'." She pointed out.

"Would you like me to call you no. XIV?" He asked nonchalantly and she shook her head as she laughed nervously.

"No, no! Just call me Maximum." She begged and Axel snorted at his little sister.

"What are you laughing at?!" She punched her brother.

"OW!" She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"That didn't even hurt, you little cry baby!"

"I'm not a cry baby!" He countered back.

"You're sure acting like one." Saïx added.

"No I'm not!" Axel crossed his arms.

"Just admit the truth Axel, even Saïx agrees with me!" Max teased and Axel smirked.

"He's only agreeing with you because you're a little girl." Her jaw dropped to the ground.

"I am NOT a little girl! For your information, I am a young sophisticated woman!" She held her chin high and Axel started to chuckle. She glared at him and growled but when she turned to Saïx he was smirking, trying his best not to burst out laughing.

"He does have a point. You're still a little kid!" Saïx mumbled and rustled her hair. "You remind me of someone I used to know."

"I do?" She tilted her head to the side. It was as if through Saïx's eyes, Maximum turned into a little girl who wore a short yellow summer dress and white lace leggings with sandals. The girl had short curly chin length bright red hair and beady green eyes. Max turned to her original self again and Saïx, for the first time smiled and nodded.

"Hey, Axel, Saïx," She stared at the sunset with her palms leaning on the ground "Do you remember your memories before you joined the Organisation?" Max asked out of the blue.

"Yeah, we do." They said in unison.

"What was it like?"

"We were best friends." Saïx answered. "And we lived in this calm world."

"Do you miss your old life before you became nobodies?" She asked.

"Well not really." Saïx replied and then looked at Axel. Max turned to her brother, he looked sad as he looked down.

"Axel, you okay?" Max asked and he sighed.

"Yeah." He lied and Saïx huffed at this.

"You're lying, Axel." The blue haired nobody stated.

"Axel, you know you can talk to me about anything, I am your sister." She smiled at him and he looked at her.

"She has a point; you might as well talk to her about it." Saïx said.

"Okay, it's just that I miss her."

"Who?" Max asked.

"She was my persona's little sister. She was so cute, so innocent." He smiled.

"Not to mention cheeky and mischievous. She was just like you Axel."

"I know, but I don't even know where she is, or if she's still alive." Axel mumbled.

"Axel, I bet she's safe, you shouldn't be so pessimistic. I bet MM is okay." Saïx replied and Max looked at her brother. He was so sad.

"Hey Axel, cheer up! You've always got me, haven't you?" The red haired pyro looked up at her and she smiled at him. "I'll do anything to make you happy Axel, I promise." He sulked even more and Max pinched his cheeks. "Smiiiiiileeee!" She grinned very widely and this didn't work. "Knock, knock."

"Who's there?" Axel asked miserably.

"Axel!" She answered.

"Axel who?"

"Axel, 'the Flurry of Dancing Flames'. A-X-E-L Got it memorised?" She tapped the side of her head and laughed. Axel smirked at this and started to laugh too as Saix smiled at this.

"Come on, we better go back." Saïx said as he stood up and the others stood up as well.

"Oh Saïx, can you teach me how to open a portal? Please?" Max asked and their eyebrows rose.

"Are you sure?" Saïx questioned.

"I don't think you're ready yet, you've only been here for like two days." Axel indicated and Max rolled her eyes with a huff.

"Does it really matter? Please Saïx, can you teach me?" The blue haired nobody nodded and told her what to do.

She raised her hand up and closed her eyes. 'Okay Max, you can do it!' She controlled all the power she had and there, a portal of darkness opened in front of them. Max opened her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh my Kingdom Hearts! I did it!"

"Oh my Kingdom Hearts really?" Axel asked, mocking her, and she pouted.

"What? Apparently, we have to complete it and unite with it. This is the goal of our Organisation. It's the way that we to become complete beings! So, Kingdom Hearts must be sacred to us!" She said with passion and Axel's eye twitched.

"I bet Zexion told you that." Saix said.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Max asked curiously.

"We're psychic, got it memorized?" Axel tapped his forehead and his little sister pouted at this.

"Don't take me as little girl!" He snorted at this and she slapped his back. "Stop laughing at me!" She whined and they walked through the portal.
