Yuki leaned up against the wall around the station plaza, looking out over Twilight Town as the sun began to set. Y stood directly next to her leaning on her arms. She too was looking over the town. It was silent between the two. A few minutes later X came up holding three sea salt ice creams. One in each hand and one in his mouth. He gave each of the girls an ice cream before going to Y's other side, leaning against the wall facing away from the town towards the station.

This had become the norm for them over the past seven days. They were usually quite at first but would eventually start exchanging news. It was the way their friendship had formed and none of them saw reason to argue.

"Is it true that another group is going to be using the castle soon?" Y asked casually.

"Yeah, a bunch of Nobodies are coming in. Not the whole group from what I hear." X replied.

"Nobodies? Well, that's not very nice." Y said frowning. Yuki laughed.

X sighed heavily. "I forgot how clueless you two are." He muttered.

"Then teach us." Yuki said looking over at X.

"Nobodies are what's left of a person when their heart falls into darkness. They're like us but not able to steal hearts." X explained.

"Oh, so a bunch of them are coming in?" Y asked thinking.

"Yeah, six or seven of the elites and then whatever smaller ones pop up." X answered.

"Why?" Y asked looking over at her brother.

"Don't know. They have some weird plan to mess with a couple Somebodies." X replied.

"Wait, so there'll be humans in the castle?" Yuki asked shocked.

"Yeah. In total four outsiders are accounted for. Not all of them are human though." X replied calmly.

"Then what are they?" Y asked confused.

"Don't know. Something." X replied with a shrug. It wasn't that big of a deal for him. Things like this would happen occasionally. Though the humans in the castle was a little uncommon.

Y looked over the town thinking. Yuki glanced back behind her looking up at the clock tower. She could see what looked like two people sitting on top. She tipped her head to the side curiously then looked out over the town.

The view up there must have been good. It looked beautiful from down on the ground but up in the air, it must have been so much better. But who were those two? And where'd they come up with the idea to sit up there?

X stretched and sighed. "We need to head back. Tayressa says we have to 'be ready for our guest'." He said it almost mockingly.

"You don't sound too convinced there." Yuki said with a laugh. Y giggled in agreement.

"We share the stupid castle with them, they aren't guest. We shouldn't have to wait on them." X complained.

"Come on X, let's get going." Y said grabbing her brothers arm and dragging him to the portal, which Y had discovered was called a dark corridor. Yuki watched and laughed. Those two were so goofy with each other. Their opposite personalities only made it funnier. Yuki stood and walked to the dark corridor. She looked up at the clock tower one more time before going through the corridor back to the castle.

Day 22- Entry 6,
Nothing much has happened lately. Me, X, and Y have been having ice cream together after work in Twilight Town. It's really fun.
X mentioned we'd be getting Nobodies in the castle. I'm curious to see what they're like. X doesn't seem too fond of them though.

*<3*

Yuki walked through the halls quietly. Her mission for the day required her to stay in the castle. Not that she minded. It was different then the usual go-to Twilight Town find this Heartless and kill it.

The halls in this part of the castle were empty. It was aside from the main part of the castle so most didn't come down here. That's why Yuki found it extremely odd when she saw the redhead.

The guy was tall and slim. His hair was red and spiked in a gravity-defying way. He wore a coat much like the ones the heartless wore but it was black rather than white. He was rubbing the back of his head like he was confused.

Yuki approached him from behind silently. She had no clue who he was but he might have been one of the Nobodies that had arrived today.

"Lost?" Yuki asked causing the man to jump.

"Holy crap!" He said looking at Yuki surprised. Yuki tipped her head to the side. "Who are you?" The guy asked.

"That's a question I'm not sure of the answer. My name is Yuki though. What's yours?" Yuki replied casually.

The man chuckled, "Clever answer. The name's Axel, A-X-E-L, got it memorized?"

"Yes, was spelling it really necessary?" Yuki asked.

"No, but it's fun." Axel replied with a smirk. Yuki rolled her eyes.

"Anyway. Are you lost? I'm pretty sure no one's supposed to be down here but me." Yuki asked narrowing her eyes at Axel.

"Yeah, I haven't been here in forever so I can't remember for the life of me where the common room is." Axel replied.

"Come on," Yuki said turning around. "It's this way."

Axel followed Yuki. She took him through the halls without a word. She would have been fine with not talking the entire time. Axel, on the other hand, was not satisfied.

"So you're new around here aren't you?" Axel asked.

"Yes," Yuki replied quietly.

"They been keeping you locked up here? I haven't seen you out in the field." Axel asked after a second.

"No, I've been in Twilight Town a lot." Yuki replied.

"Huh, I'm there almost every day and I've never seen you." Axel commented.

"Maybe you should try opening your eyes." Yuki said getting slightly annoyed.

"Someone's a little feisty." Axel said with a laugh.

Yuki laughed a little. Though Axel was a little annoying he seemed nice. He also seemed hyper, not responding well to silence.

Yuki stopped walking and pointed down the hall. "The common room is the last room down this hall." She said.

"Thanks kid." Axel said walking past.

Yuki rolled her eyes. "And Axel." She said causing him to turn around. "Next time you go around snooping, don't get caught." She said turning and walking away from him. She heard something that sounded like a snicker come from Axel, though he looked impressed. Yuki smiled to herself as she walked away.

*<3*

Yuki stood looking over Twilight Town like she usually did. Y skipped up to her happily humming an unfamiliar tune.

"So you meet any of the Nobodies?" Y asked.

"One, redhead named Axel. You?" Yuki asked in response.

"The leader of the group here. His name's Marluxia, and he kind of looked like a girl." Y replied laughing slightly.

"Don't tell me you asked him." Yuki said trying not to laugh herself.

"No, I wanted to though." Y replied still laughing. "What about the one you met, what was he like?" Y asked.

"He was looking for something he shouldn't be. And talkative." Yuki replied casually.

"Say anything interesting?" Y asked curiously.

"No, just random stuff. And he spelled his name when he gave it to me." Yuki replied.

"That's Axel," X said walking up. He looked annoyed by something. He gave both Yuki and Y an ice cream and stood with them.

"You look annoyed." Y commented taking a bite of her ice cream.

"If I have to listen to her complain one more time, I might kill her." X said simply.

"Who complain?" Yuki asked. She looked at X curiously.

"Larxene. She's so annoying." X replied. He bit into his ice cream angrily.

"What's she like?" Y asked innocently. X growled under his breath.

"Not good I take it," Yuki said casually looking out over the town.

"She is a brat. She complains about everything and thinks she is the most amazing thing ever. And she's never wrong." X said through gritted teeth. For not being able to feel, he was very annoyed.

"Well, you won't have to deal with her forever. In a couple days you should be good. They'll be settled in by then." Y said optimistically. She smiled brightly at her brother.

X rolled his eyes and huffed, clearly meaning he didn't care. Yuki laughed at her friends' little tantrum.

A moment of silence passed. Yuki looked up at the clock tower. There only seemed to be one person up there today. The other was nowhere to be seen. Yuki tilted her head curiously, wondering where the second one had gone.

"We should probably head back. Not that I want to." X said.

"That castle confuses me." Y said, "the floors are always changing."

"The cards govern all. And people love messing with the cards. That's why I stay out of the main part of the castle." X said standing and walking towards the center of the plaza.

"Is that what the Nobodies plan to do?" Y asked. X nodded as he snapped his fingers and summoned a dark corridor.

Yuki and Y sighed as they walked over to him. "Why does everybody find it necessary to mess around with things just as I'm getting used to them?" Y complained.

X shrugged, "The multiverse has it in for you. Has it in for most of us." He looked out over the town. His eyes seemed to get a thoughtful look like his words held more meaning than they seemed to, which they might have. Yuki was clueless about the way the world worked. Maybe it did have it in for them. Monsters who were never supposed to exist.

X sighed and went through the dark corridor before anything else could be said. Y followed after him. Yuki stood for a second before following, the corridor closing behind her.

*<3*

Yuki wasn't surprised when she found Axel wandering the castle when she returned. This time he had a blonde woman with him. They were in the side part of the castle not far from the Heartless' rooms.

"The Heartless already think we're up to something, what's the point of this anyway?" Axel asked.

"Oh hush, they don't suspect a thing. That kid watching me was clueless, he had no idea." The woman said. She sounded snobbish, something Yuki didn't like.

"Yes, clueless does usually mean they have no idea. But I was told to not get caught snooping by one of the young ones." Axel replied.

"Well, heed her advice and don't get caught." The woman said.

"You should try that too." Yuki said casually, surprising both the Nobodies.

Axel laughed, "Damn kid you're quiet." Yuki shrugged.

"She's the brat that caught you?" The woman asked.

Yuki crossed her arms and pouted. "I'm not a brat."

Axel nodded, "She's the kid." He looked at Yuki, smirking at her pout. "What's up kid?"

"Heading to my room. Which you guys happen to be very close to." Yuki replied. Her eyes went to the door right next to the woman. Considering she had mentioned a boy and seemed to fit X's description, Yuki guessed she was Larxene.

"Oh, so sorry. We just got lost." Larxene said with fake sweetness in her voice. Yuki raised an eyebrow.

"Just because I look 15 doesn't mean I'm stupid. I really don't care what you're doing. Not my problem." Yuki stated. Larxene stared at her shocked. Axel laughed and whistled.

"She got you Larxene." He said. Larxene glared at Axel.

"You both should be careful. There are others around who do care what you're up to and you don't want to be caught by one of them." Yuki said casually. She shrugged like it was no big deal, though she knew if one of them was caught it would cause major problems.

"Thanks for the warning. I suppose that means we should avoid this part of the castle." Axel said crossing his arms.

"Yeah, all the others hang around here. They're more than likely going to catch you." Yuki replied.

"Alright, you're not too bad kid." Axel said grinning. It was a grin that said he was familiar with her. Which was weird, Yuki was sure she didn't know him.

"Oh please, she's as annoying as our newbies," Larxene complained.

"And I happen to get along with one of our newbies. She happens to be a lot like that one." Axel said. That explained why he seemed to be nice to her.

"Let's just go before one of the others come." Larxene said impatiently. Axel rolled his eyes.

"Alright, alright." He said. Larxene walked past rolling her eyes. Axel glanced at Yuki and smirked. "See ya around Snowy."

Yuki gave him a quizzical look. "Snowy?" She asked. Axel just laughed and continued walking.

Yuki frowned and went into her room. There was no reason for her to be called Snowy. Not that she could think of anyway. What was snow anyway? Yuki had never seen it before. She had only been in warm tropical environments.

Yuki stopped for a second. Warm climates yes, Twilight Town was temperate. But where had tropical come from? It was like when she had compared the ice cream to the ocean. She had never been to the ocean. How did she know what it was like? Where were all these thoughts coming from?

Yuki sighed and sat down on her bed. She didn't want to think about that at the moment. It wasn't really important. She'd figure it out later.

*<3*

Day 23- Entry 7,
Today was pretty boring. Although the Nobodies showed up. One of them talked to me. He seemed pretty cool, and he said I reminded him of a friend. He called me Snowy for some reason.
I keep thinking, I'm remembering weird things that make no sense. Like bits about the ocean and tropical areas. It's weird.
