What time is it?

Story Time


It's often been asked:

How do you know you're in love?

What a stupid question. Really. The stupidest question ever thought of. I mean that.

First, define "love".

That's impossible. For one thing, it's different for everyone. Like for Sora, he said it was like eating cookie dough ice cream without worrying about your thighs. For Namine, she said it was like throwing paint on a canvas and each other and laughing all the while. For Axel, he said it was like a brushfire (who else saw that coming?) that spread all around your body and didn't go out because you don't want it to go out. For Riku, he said it was like... never mind, bad example.

See? According to them "love" is an edible paint that burns you inside out while in the Passion Propeller position. STUPID.
(Actually, look up the "Passion Propeller Position" it looks kinda fun)

Secondly, how do you act when you're in love? Tidus and Yuna are good example of how to act when you're in love, and I don't really know if Olette and Hayner should be "on" and "off" that much and still be considered in love; but hey, they're happy sometimes. Cloud and Aerith prove that opposites do attract while I guess Aqua and Terra only managed to hit it off because they were friends since preschool. Good for those guys, but still WHAT THE HELL?

My friends only prove that "love" is improbable, a paradox, and a complete impossibility.


"Roxas, stop being so retarded," Sora said to me during our lunch break.

My blue eyes rolled over at him, "What am I being retarded about?" I asked back.

"This whole 'Love doesn't exist' thing. You're being stupid about it," he replied with a shake of his head, causing his big brown spikes to jiggle.

"How are facts stupid?" I retorted.

"Facts are stupid when they aren't facts widdle Roxas," my brother answered me, knowing that "widdle" was a word that only served to annoy me. Just because he clawed his way out of the womb before I did he was the big brother. I mean him being a big brother because he was too impatient to be born and I was the mature fetus and let him go ahead is almost as stupid as the concept of "love".

But anyway, after scratching my head and massaging my blonde spikes and disregarding any of my "minutes-older" brother and decided to end my lunch break early and go back to work.

I've got an after school job as a smoothie jockey at the smoothie bar, 7th Heaven. It was owned by this lady, Tifa Lockhart, and she's nice and all but don't ever get on her bad side. I mean there was this one time Tidus and Wakka ran into the shop and-
