"No, just see you later…!"

Namine was sitting by her pale white windowsill, looking over the Destiny Island's beach. Her blond hair flowing in the wind, the sound of lapping waves echoing inside her room. She sighed, and closed her eyes. A small smile spread across her face. She looked back down at her maroon-coloured drawing book, a yellow crayon in her palm. She laid it down, and walked over to her pale white bed, decorated with a few pink, yellow, and light blue embroidered stripes. She plopped down on it, and took a deep breath. The salty air from outside her window filled her nose with a ticklish feeling. Suddenly, a voice called her name from outside.

"NAMINE!!" Kairi called. Namine jumped off the bed, and ran over to the window.

"Hey! What are you doing down there?" Namine called back.

"Well, the Gummy Ship dropped by… Let's go for a trip to Twilight Town!"

"Kairi, I have homework to do!!"

"Yeah, right! I'm in your class, Nami. Don't try to fool me!"

"Okay, I'll be down in a second…" Namine sighed. The last thing she wanted to do was waste her time in a Gummy Ship for an hour! It was two years after she put Sora's memories back together in Twilight Town. All the events that occurred… meeting him… DiZ… and Riku. Actually, Riku called himself "Xemnas" this time. All the time that she spent with him… How touched she felt when she found out that he wanted to protect HER. But, was it really her that he wanted to protect? She replaced herself with Kairi, after all. And all because of jealousy… Why should she be jealous? Namine laughed at herself after all those sudden thoughts, threw off her school uniform, pulled on a pale white shirt with a short black-and-white miniskirt, and walked downstairs.

Namine POV

As I walked downstairs, I wondered what I would encounter in Twilight Town. This time, it was the REAL version of the town this time, not run by DiZ. Him… Did you know, he explained all of it to his friends Hayner Pence and Olette? It was quite funny, when he wrote to all of us on Destiny Island! If you're every wondering how this happened, Kairi and Sora decided to release their nobodies, their other souls, and let them roam the world freely. Since I was free from someone's grasp, I decided to come back here, to live my life as a… Destiny Islander, I guess! It's a relaxing place, really warm and comfy. I live by myself, by the beach, in a small white cottage. But going back to Twilight Town… I don't know how that will feel… I just hope that I can take it in…

End of POV

"This is kind of… uncomfortable!" Kairi muffled through the squished area in the Gummy Ship.

"Sora, I'm gonna get you!" Riku cried, his cheek pressed against the glass wall of the small ship.

"Sorry!!" Sora called back to his friends. As Namine turned to look at Riku, she saw he was already staring at her, and he was blushing. As he turned away quickly, his light-grey hair brushing across her cheek, Namine felt her face turn warm. She turned away, and felt her cheeks, looking down at her skirt. Dozens of her experiences in her so called "life" were flashing quickly before her…

"Hello, Roxas."

"So, we can be together again…"

"That's right, isn't it Riku?"

"I took apart the memories chained together in Sora's heart…"

She paused her thoughts, just as she got to deleting her from Sora and Riku's memories. She laughed to herself, and shook her head.

"Namine, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing Kairi…!"

"I know something is wrong, Namine. What is it?" Kairi closed up into her best friends face.

"Kairi, it's fine really!" Namine nodded, trying to calm her friend down. In such a tight space, they didn't want to get any more stressed out. After Kairi believed Namine, and finally calmed down, she sighed and leaned back, closing her eyes, waiting for the ship to come to a complete stop.

Twenty Minutes Later….

"Namine… wake up!" Kairi shook her drowsy best friend back and forth. Everyone else was loaded off, waiting for them in front of the station.

"Huh…? What?" Namine murmured, rubbing her eyes.

"We're in Twilight Town, dummy! Get up!"

"Huh? What!! No way!!" Namine exclaimed jumping up, straightening out her clothes, preparing for the reunion.

"OW!" She cried, bumping her head on the roof of the Gummy Ship.

"Namine, are you okay?" Chip asked. Namine looked at her tiny chipmunk friend, and nodded. He saluted her, and returned back to his station, beside his brother Dale. Namine smiled at their brotherhood, and walked out of the Small, Cramped space she sat inside. Outside, she saw her friends Kairi, Sora, and Riku surrounding something on the steps of the station. Then, she saw Olette step out from behind Sora, wave to her. Everyone turned around, and either waved or beckoned her over. She smiled, and ran over to them. There, she saw Hayner, Pence, and Olette. But where was he? She said only one word then.

"Hi!" Namine said, and smiled. Everyone laughed. After talking for a few minutes, she heard loud footsteps running towards them, getting closer and closer. Namine turned around, and she saw him. He was wearing his usual black and white colours, his necklace tinkling as he ran. A wide grin spread across Namine's face

"Hello, Roxas."
