Part I

"So it's three large pies, one hawaiian, one buffalo chicken, and one with sausage and peppers, correct? What's the address? Alright cool, someone will deliver it in 30 minutes or less, otherwise it's free. No problem. Alright, bye." As soon as the manager hung up the phone he yelled out the order to the cooks. "I'll deliver this one." The manager jumped and put a hand to his chest. "Roxas you gotta stop scaring me, you're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days." Roxas gave him a look. "I was beside you the entire time. You need to pay attention more." The manager gave Roxas a playful push and handed him a slip of paper. "Whatever, here's the address for the delivery."

            Roxas grabbed the three boxes of pizza and swerved around people as he barreled down the sidewalk on his skateboard, loving the way the wind felt on his skin. When he reached the building he stared up in amazement. It was one of the biggest buildings in the city, it rose high above the ones surrounding it. Roxas had never really been in this area before, it was mainly a business district. He tugged at his clothes feeling out of place. Everyone around him was well dressed, while he wore black shorts, a white t-shirt, and a black baseball cap. Roxas sighed and looked at the paper. "Floor 113, that's gotta be at the top." He muttered to himself.

            Roxas placed his skateboard under a chair in the waiting part of the lobby. Apparently he can't bring it further into the building. The snobby woman at the front desk pushed a button that opened a small gate allowing Roxas to pass through and told him the way to the elevator. He walked into the elevator and pushed the button for floor 113. The doors closed but abruptly opened again. A tall man wearing a suit and hair the color of moonlight tied back walked in. He carried a briefcase in his right hand and a phone in his left. The smell of expensive cologne filled the air. He pushed the same button Roxas did and the button that closes the doors immediately. Not once did the man look up from his phone. As the elevator began to move up, the man sighed and began to tap away at his phone muttering to himself.

            Roxas thanked his lucky stars as the elevator didn't stop once on the way up. He didn't want to be delayed delivering the pizza. His nose began to tickle and he tried to hold back a sneeze, but couldn't. When Roxas sneezed, the man's head snapped to look at Roxas. "When did you get in here?" The man asked in a deep voice. "I-I got on in the lobby." Roxas replied nervously. This man was intimidating. "I did not notice." "That's alright s-sir, not many people do." Roxas said, his voice still shaking. The man stared at Roxas. Roxas pulled the brim of his hat down to cover his eyes to escape the man's gaze. "Interesting." His eyes lingered on Roxas for a few more seconds before gazing at the screen that showed what floor they were passing. The elevator bell ringed and the doors opened to floor 113. The man walked out and Roxas followed letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

            The elevator led to the lobby of floor 113. Everything in the lobby was white. The front desk was directly across from the elevator and a woman sat there typing away at her computer. Two doors branched off from the lobby. One on the left wall and one on the right. There was a guy in a suit that looked a few years older than Roxas with long steel blue hair standing in the middle of the room holding a phone and tapping his foot. "Xemnas, you're here. Shall we discuss this situation?" The man named Xemnas nodded. "Indeed Saix, we need to come up with a solution right away." Xemnas glanced at Roxas once more time before walking through the door on the right. Roxas' eyes followed him. "You're delivering pizza to someone here?" Saix asked, making Roxas jump a little. "Uh yeah. It's for Axel." Roxas said looking at the name on the slip of paper. "That imbecile better be paying with his own money and not mine." Saix muttered. He walked away, going through the same door Xemnas did. "Uhh.." Roxas meant to ask this Saix person where he could find Axel. 

            The door on the left opened. "Aw sweet the pizza's here Demyx!" A red-head yelled into  the doorway behind him as he walked in the lobby. A blonde shortly followed him. "How much is it?" The red-head asked taking out a wallet. "$21." "Here you go." The red-head handed Roxas the exact amount. "And here's a tip." Roxas stared at the $2 tip red-head put in his hand as Demyx took the pizza. Before Roxas could say anything about the cheap tip, the red-head and Demyx disappeared through the door. Roxas looked at the door they went through in disbelief. This was the 6th time this week he got tipped less than $4. How is he going to make the money he needs when customers are giving him cheap tips? He sighed as he crushed the dollars in his hand and shoved them in his pocket. Going back in the elevator, he leaned his head against the wall and sulked the entire ride down.

            Axel and Demyx walked into the meeting room carrying the 3 boxes of pizza. They sat down in their chairs at a large white round table. There were twelve chairs surrounding the table, four of them empty. The empty chairs belonged to members of the Organization that were out "taking care of business" at the moment. Xemnas and Saix were already talking about an urgent issue. Demyx took a bite out of his hawaiian pizza. He picked up a pineapple slice that fell of it and tossed it in his mouth. "Man, this pizza's good. Thanks for buying Axel." "Don't thank me, thank Saix. There's some pizza here for you too Saix, if you want it." Axel snickered taking a bite of his buffalo slice. Saix threw a paperweight at Axel's head. Axel dodged it and the paperweight shattered on the wall behind him. Xigbar grabbed Saix's pizza and began to eat it. "Enough, we have much to discuss." Xemnas said, giving Axel a look. "Sorry Boss, go ahead."
