6The loud crash startled everybody who heard it coming from Vexen's room. Drip, drip, drip. Drip, drop, drip.
"I knew we shouldn't have let him build his lab upstairs," A kid with a dirty blonde mullet muttered as he pressed the red, then blue, then yellow buttons on his plastic guitar without taking his attention away from the picture on the television.
In comparison, a red-head with triangular make-up under his eyes quickly stared up at the ceiling and screamed at the top of his lungs, "VEXEN! YOU ARE LUCKY I JUST FINISHED MY DRUM SOLO!"
A slightly audible shout came from above. "Oops, sorry Demyx. Sorry, Axel." You could just make out the sarcastic sneer at the last syllable.
"I hope we don't grow a Chinese beard like last time," The teen (who was apparently named Demyx) murmured.
"It took me a whole month to completely get rid of it!" Axel grunted.
"What's wrong, Axel?" A black-haired girl poked her head through the gap in the open door.
"Hey Xion!" Demyx greeted.
The girl acknowledged his hello, but continued awaiting Axel's answer.
"Vexen spilt some more of his lab chemicals, and now it's dripping through the ceiling! But do you want to play Beatles' Rock band with us?"
"Sure! Toss me the mic!"
"In the town where I was bornLived a man who sailed to seaAnd he told us of his lifeIn the land of submarinesSo we sailed on to the sunTill we found a sea of greenAnd we lived beneath the wavesIn our yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarineYellow submarine, yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarineYellow submarine, yellow submarineAnd our friends are all aboardMany more of them live next doorAnd the band begins to playWe all live in a yellow submarineYellow submarine, yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarineYellow submarine, yellow submarine{Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed aheadFull speed ahead it is, the cable, drop the cableAye, aye, Sir, aye, ayeCaptain, captain}As we live a life of easeEvery one of us has all we need(One of us, has all we need)Sky of blue and sea of green(Sky of blue, sea of green)In our yellow submarine(In our yellow, submarine, aha)We all live in a yellow submarineA yellow submarine, yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarineA yellow submarine, yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarineYellow submarine, yellow submarineWe all live in a yellow submarineYellow submarine, yellow submarine," Xion finished, and fell to the floor, gasping for breath, still clutching the microphone.
All of a sudden, the TV sucked all three of them into the game. It looked like they were fading away, but it was much quicker and it was light they were fading into, not darkness.
In place of the drummer, vocalist, and guitarist were Axel, Xion, and Demyx. They were performing at The Ed Sullivan show, and were about to fail the gig unless somebody came over and took a part.
Lucky for the unfortunate trio, a group of their best friends visits from time to time, and this Thursday was one of those times. One bad thing for them right now: Saix was unplugging the game!
(A/N: You probably thought I was not going to add myself in. Yeah, right! :D)
"Stupid kids, always playing when they are supposed to be working," Saix grumbled. "Now where is the plug in all of these wires?"
*Scene change! Car in the middle of a gigantic highway*
"Zexion, are we there yet? My back is getting really twisted right now," Daisy piped up from where the brake and gas pedals are, since Zexion was too short to reach them, and Daisy was the only one who could fit under there.
"Nearly, only a few more minutes left."
"Thank God."
"I must change this radio station!" I shouted with my hands over my ears, attempting to block out 93.3.
"No!" Jenna yelped, and tried to pull me back from pressing the station change buttons, but was too late, because I had already held down the 'plus' button until it reached 106.3.
Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger,
So much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
Now these days are gone, I am not so self-assured,
Now I find I have changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
Now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I have never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me; get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
When I was younger,
So much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
Now these days are gone,
I am not so self-assured,
Now I find I have changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me; get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, and help me, oh.
Through the whole song, everyone sat in silence, listening to Paul McCartney sing with his three friends.
"Well, I'm just going to change the station back," Kassie stated, and reached forward without the slightest hesitation, since she was sitting shotgun.
"Alright," Ariana mumbled.
"I hope Sora is there!" Jenna shouted for the third time in that road trip.
"I think I see him screaming and waving at us in front of the gates!" Zexion exclaimed, astounded. "He looks scared."
"So do I!" Kassie, Ariana, and I proclaimed.
"I can't," Daisy mumbled, and everybody laughed.
Jenna leapt out of the moving car to give Sora a gigantic kiss. "I missed you!" she gushed.
"I can tell!" Sora rubbed the back of his head shyly. "But follow me quickly, all of you!" Sora took off to get to the doors of Castle Oblivion.
Everybody besides Daisy leapt out of the car and ran, while Daisy squeezed herself out and caught up.
When they finally reached Castle Oblivion, Xigbar was at the door. "What's the password?" He asked, like Patrick from Sponge bob Square pants.
"Shut up and let me in," Sora angrily shouted, attempting to keep his breath even.
"That's right!" Xigbar opened the gigantic doors.
"Let's go!" Sora ran to the TV room. "Hurry! Grab an instrument and play!"
Sora gave us no explanation, so I grabbed a guitar, Jenna grabbed the microphone, and Kassie kneeled in front of the drums, drumsticks in hand.
We did not even get to choose a song, because it just randomly came up with one, though nobody (he he) touched the buttons.
'WHOA! It was the same song as before! Moreover, there is something different about the teen Beatles on the screen, wait, DEMYX? XION? AXEL? How did they get inside?" My thoughts must have taken me away from the real world for a few seconds because I was being yelled at. "Ok! Sorry!"
"Hey, isn't there something odd about the characters on the screen?" Daisy questioned, since she was standing next to Ariana behind us.
"Yeah, hey, is that Axel?"
"Do ever stop thinking about him?"
"No."
"Oh."
"Well, it does look like him, doesn't it?" Nobody besides them could speak, because we were playing and focusing solely on the TV. Jenna could not speak because it would mess her up.
"Sort of."
"And doesn't the singer look like Xion?"
"I guess."
"And the guitarist Demyx?"
"I suppose the mullet does look like his."
"Guys, this is what happened. I was getting a cookie in the kitchen, and saw those three fade into the TV because of this green stuff oozing from the ceiling. Vexen had overturned his experiment trying to teach rodents to sing by drinking a special concoction. Axel, Xion, and Demyx replaced the pictures of the Beatles. They had such sad faces on and the song Help! Would not stop playing. I was trying to find two other people to help but Roxas was sleeping, and didn't want to be woken up, Marluxia was tending to is garden, Luxord was playing Texas Hold 'Em with Xigbar, Larxene was vaporizing Heartless, Zexion was picking you guys up, Lexaeus fingers are too big, and old people don't like video games." Sora explained for a minute.
"That's a long explanation," I informed him, since the song was finished. I received a 96%, Kassie's percentile was a 100 on medium, and Jenna's was 100, because singing in that game is super easy.
"Yup," Kassie agreed.
"How are we going to fix this?" Jenna questioned.
"Well, Vexen is up in his lab trying to reverse the effects of the rodent singing thing, because the rats won't stop singing and he thinks it will bring them out of the television." Sora answered. "But there is bad news for you guys. You're going to have to non-stop play this game until Vexen fixes this, or else the trio will be stuck in the game forever."
The room was filled with loud intakes of breath.
"Maybe we should take turns. Say, Daisy, Sora, and I will take this next song, and you three will take the song after that, so we get breaks. I will be drums, Sora takes the guitar, and Daisy gets the microphone. Sound good?" Ariana asked Kassie, Jenna, and I.
"Cool with me."
"Okie!"
"Sure."
"Aw, man! Hurry guys, the next song is coming up!" Daisy pointed at the television, and everybody changed positions.
Daisy began to sing,
"Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Sun, sun, sun, here it comes... Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
And I say it's all rightIt's all right," and traded positions with Jenna, while the rest of us swapped as well.
The next song was one of my favorites:
"It's been a hard day's nightand I've been working like a 's been a hard day's night,I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,I find the things that you doWill make me feel alright.
You know I work all dayTo get you money to buy you it's worth it just to here you say,You're going to give me everything.
So why on earth should I moan,'Cos when I get you aloneYou know I feel okay.
When I'm home everything seems to be I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.
It's been a hard day's nightAnd I've been working like a 's been a hard day's night,I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,I find the things that you doWill make me feel alright.
So why on earth should I moan,'Cos when I get you aloneYou know I feel okay.
When I'm home everything seems to be I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah.
It's been a hard day's nightAnd I've been working like a 's been a hard day's night,I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you,I find the things that you doWill make me feel alright.
You know I feel alright,You know I feel alright." Jenna sang amazingly into the microphone. We didn't get the chance to see our scores because it's just one song after another, non-stop, like Sora said. So we continued swapping as normal.
"Picture yourself in a boat on a riverWith tangerine trees and marmalade skiesSomebody calls you, you answer quite slowlyA girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and greenTowering over your headLook for the girl with the sun in her eyesAnd she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsAaaaahhhhh...
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountainWhere rocking horse people eat marshmallow piesEveryone smiles as you drift past the flowersThat grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shoreWaiting to take you awayClimb in the back with your head in the cloudsAnd you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsAaaaahhhhh...
Picture yourself on a train in a stationWith plasticine porters with looking glass tiesSuddenly someone is there at the turnstileThe girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsAaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsAaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamondsLucy in the sky with diamonds," Sang Daisy.
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better. And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain, Don't carry the world upon your shoulders. For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool By making his world a little colder. Hey Jude, don't let me down. You have found her, now go and get her. Remember to let her into your heart, Then you can start to make it better. So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin, You're waiting for someone to perform with. And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do, The movement you need is on your shoulder. Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her under your skin, Then you'll begin to make it Better better better better better better, oh. Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude...
Na na na na na, na na na na, hey Jude (Repeat for about three minutes)," sang Jenna.
"I've got to sleep!" I interrupted the process at about 10 p.m.
"You can't! Unless we get the nocturnal members of Organization XIII to do it…," Kassie trailed off, leaving us to pause the game for a few minutes. Sora estimated we would only have about five minutes until the Play Satan (Did that on purpose) 3 turned off by itself, since Axel didn't like wasting his electricity. He hated asking Larxene to power it up once the electricity people shut off his lights and stuff completely.
All of us ran for a nocturnal member of the Organization.
"Xemnas, can you play Rock Band?"
"Do I have to throw rocks around?"
"No."
"Ok, then."
(Saix's room)
"Saix, can you sing?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I be able to?"
"Then follow us."
(Xaldin's room)
"Xaldin, can you play a fake drum?"
"I suppose…,"
"Good enough."
(Roxas' room)
"Roxas, can you play guitar in Rock Band?"
"Yup!"
"Follow us then."
(Larxene's room)
"Larxene, can you play the fake drum?"
"Yeah, why?"
"No reason, follow us."
(Marluxia's room)
We interrupted Marluxia singing 'I'm a Barbie Girl'.
"I guess you can sing. Hurry, follow me!"
(TV Room)
"Choose you're spots and rotations and stuff," Ariana started.
"While we go sleep," I finished.
"God, that was tiring," Daisy plopped down in the top bunk of one of the guest room's many bunk beds.
"Incredibly, I feel like my voice is stomped on over and over again," Jenna lamented.
"My fingers hurt!" I complained.
"You're telling me," Kassie muttered.
"Let's all just rest until morning, we'll need it." Ariana instructed.
"I miss Demyx!" I cried after a few minutes.
Ariana continued the sadness with, "Now I miss Axel more!"
"At least Zexion is still in the flesh."
"Same with Sora, but I still miss him!"
Everyone turned to stare at Daisy.
Daisy noticed. "What?"
"Who do you like in Kingdom Hearts?"
"Dag is fine with me."
"But he's not in Kingdom Hearts!" we whined.
"Then, I guess, Roxas is pretty cool."
"But do you like him?"
"Not like you guys do."
Sighs resounded off the white walls.
"Do I hear I Want To Hold Your Hand?" I asked.
"C'mon guys, we are going to be at this all night," Kassie grumbled.
"Night everyone."
(A/N: How was it? It's not really much of a crossover, but it is close. Please, review, for me? Want me to continue you this more often than MEH or vice versa? TELL ME PLEASE!)
