Chapter 1: Working on the Time Machine

"A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory.

A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream.

I want to line the pieces up, yours and mine"

Roxas wakes up lying near the shore. His eyes adjust to the brightness emanating from the sun. He sits up and gazes out towards the sea. He yawns and lies down again but suddenly a figure appears in his eyesight. Roxas jumps with his heart thumping from freight.

"Laying down on the job again, are we?"

Roxas' best friend Naminé says in the sassiest way possible.

Roxas: "Of course not! I just fell and hurt my leg is all…"

Naminé: "uh huh, sure…lazy bum".

The two share laughs and Naminé sits next to Roxas gazing up into the sky. Out of nowhere, she whips out her sketch pad and draws.

Roxas: "Were you carrying that thing the whole time?!"

Naminé: "Yup".

Roxas: "…but I didn't see you holding it".

Naminé: "Maybe I just have magical powers".

Roxas: "Uh huh, or maybe…"

He stares directly towards Naminé's chest hinting that she holds it in there. Naminé glances at Roxas and is appalled to see him staring at her chest. She reddens and gives Roxas the biggest slap she ever gave.

Naminé: "pervert!"

Roxas: "Ow! What the Hell?!"

Naminé: "You know exactly what the Hell!"

Roxas is now rocking back and forth in the sand holding his cheek with both hands. Roxas explained how he has seen skimpy girls take money and other things out from their chests on TV. Naminé is disgusted to know what Roxas actually watches on his free time and she slaps him again on his forehead.

Naminé: "I swear Roxas; I have no idea why your parents think you're such an angel".

From out of the blue, Roxas and Naminé's friend Axel pops up right behind the two.

Axel" "What happened now between you two?"

Naminé: I'm dealing with a disgusting little perv every day! That's what's wrong!"

Axel: "Well, I could've told you that Naminé".

Naminé: "Oh shut up! You're as nasty as he is!"

Axel: "ha-ha, yea."

Axel smile and puts his arms behind his head. Roxas sits up once again with his dark red cheek throbbing in pain.

Naminé: "So, are we almost done building the time machine?"

Axel: "Almost…we just need a few more cocoanuts, a rope, three fishes, and a few mushrooms."

Roxas: "What's the fish and mushrooms for?"

Naminé: "For our food you dork!"

Naminé couldn't help but to giggle leaving Roxas embarrassed on how hollow his head is.

Axel: "I can't wait till it's finished… I really miss her".

Roxas: "I hope it wor-"

Axel: "It will work...It has to"

Silence overcame the trio's conversation and Naminé continues drawing her picture. Roxas stares at Naminé's drawing and wonders what she plans to draw.

Roxas: "Whatcha Drawin?"

Naminé: "You will see once I'm done"

Roxas: "When will it be done?"

Naminé: "In time my most impatient one".

Roxas grins and gets up to start work again.

Roxas: "Come on Axel, let's go finish up".

Axel: "Alright. Come on Naminé"

Roxas: "No, she stays. I want her to finish her picture. I'll take over her duties.

Naminé turns around, smiles, and watches the two walk away.
