"Give me a break, Kairi," Sora said and Kairi smiled playfully at him.

"Giving up already?" Riku yelled as they both ran on the Play Island.

They sat on the paopu tree at the sunset. "If there are other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one?"

"This world has been connected," a mysterious voice said. "Wh-who's there?" Sora called. "Tied to the Darkness," the voice continued, and Sora frowned.

Kairi stood up, it was sunset again. "Sora, don't ever change."

"It is I, Ansem, The Seeker of Darkness," Riku's voice sounded.

"The door has opened," said Riku as he extended his hand.

"What?" Sora asked, confused as he became surrounded by Darkness, and a hulking monster appeared.

"You understand nothing."

"This girl has lost her heart."

Kairi flew and went through Sora.

"You're stupid," Sora told Riku, confused and angry.

Roxas woke up from the dream, he had been having them for a while now. He had no idea why he would have such dreams of Sora but...

Before Roxas knew it, his door slammed open and the subject of his dreams ran in; his big brother, Sora. The brunet had his usual sunny smile as he ran in and started jumping on Roxas's bed.

"Roxas, Roxas, come on up, up, up," he said still jumping on the bed. Roxas laughed, used to his brother's morning greeting. The blonde sat up and tacked his brother, both of them falling to the floor laughing, the bed sheet falling with them. The playful fight ended up with Sora being on top.

"Good morning~" Sora said in a singsong voice, as if he hadn't just jumped on his brother at 7:30 in the morning.

"Morning." Then again, to Roxas, this was their normal.

"Did you have another dream about me?" Sora asked excitedly.

"Maybe," Roxas teased. Sora pouted, which caused Roxas to laugh, and he untangled himself from his brother and stood up.

"Come on, tell me," said Sora, still on his knees.

"Nope," Roxas answered with a smirk as he exited his room and went downstairs.

Sora loved hearing his brother's dreams. Admittedly, they had both found it very strange at first, but the dreams sounded so fantastical, it just became a fun pastime for both of them. Going to other worlds, fighting monsters with a giant Key and meeting so many friends, it sounded awesome, so neither of them paid much mind to them except for entertainment.

Roxas went into the kitchen to start preparing breakfast for them before remembering asking Sora about it.

"No letters from Kairi or Riku yet?" Sora's face lost the smile and he pouted, shaking his head no.

"No."Sora sighed sadly, " And it's been a really long time too."

He sat on the counter, pouting.

"Cheer up. It's a long way from Destiny Island to Twilight Town. I'm sure you'll be hearing from them in no time."

"Yeah, I guess," Sora said, unconvinced.

"What if- What if they forgot about me?"

Roxas blinked in surprise and turned towards Sora before smiling. "Oh come on, Sora, who'd forget about you? You tend to leave an impression wherever you go, wanted or not."

"And just what's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked mock offended, crossing his arms. But Roxas decided to actually ease his brother's worries. He put his hand on Sora's shoulder and gave him a confident smile.

"It means don't ever lose hope on your friends, no matter how far you are, you'll find your way back to each other."

"Wow, Roxas, that was deep," Roxas snorted and Sora laughed.

"Shut up," he huffed, and smiled.

They had moved from Destiny Islands to Twilight Town a year ago. It was harsh on both boys and especially on Sora. His two best friends; Kairi and Riku were very precious to him and it was hard on all three of them to be apart from each other.

Riku was angry, he lashed out at everyone, even at Sora. Kairi was sad, she cried every day she had to say goodbye to Sora before they moved. Sora tried to keep a brave face for his friends and little brother, but Roxas knew Sora had cried every night too. The three of them had promised to write to each other, to try and never lose touch, but it had been months and still no word from them.

Roxas adapted better than his brother in Twilight Town; he made friends fast, and it was him who introduced Sora to Hayner, Pence and Olette. Of course, Sora being Sora, they all got along really well, but the gang was still no replacement for his childhood friends.

Their parents worked for so long, the boys hardly saw them. The two of them are practically living alone in the house, which made the move extra hard for them, but they learned to adapt to this too. The two made a great team and there was hardly anything that they couldn't face together.

Sora stood up and started helping his brother with breakfast. After reluctantly doing the dishes, they changed their clothes, with Roxas wearing a black sleeveless shirt with a pop up collar and black pants, while Sora wore a white sleeveless shirt. They left the house to go meet with their other three friends in the back alley.

Hayner, Pence and Olette were already there when Sora and Roxas arrived at the usual spot.

"Sora! Roxas!" Greeted Olette, waving. Both boys gave her a smile in greeting.

"What took you guys so long?" Asked Hayner.

Sora shrugged and the two of them just sat on the couch, Roxas leaning on Sora as usual.

"So what were you guys talking about?" Roxas asked.

"We've been saying that Seifer's gone too far this time," answered Olette.

"I mean, he's been accusing us of stealing things that went missing around town," continued Hayner, "Now the whole town and their mothers are treating us like the Klepto club!" he turned to the brothers. "Have you ever been this ticked off in your entire life? Cause I haven't. Nuh-uh, never!" Roxas and Sora exchanged a look. "Now... What do we do?"

Olette looked concerned and gave the two brothers a glance. Sora and Roxas shared a look and both of them got an idea.

"Hey, we could find the actual thieves," suggested Roxas.

"Yeah!" Sora said excitedly jumping in place, "That would set the record straight!"

"Hey, that sounds fun," said Pence.

"What about Seifer? Asked Hayner as he crossed his arms.

"First, we gotta clear our names," Roxas said as he got up, and Sora followed him, his hands on his hips and giving everyone an excited smile."Once we find the real culprit, everyone will get off our backs."

Hayner grunted, unsure, but before he could say anything more, Pence suddenly gasped.

"Oh no, they're gone. Our_ are gone." Pence tried clearing his throat but found he couldn't say the missing word.

"All our_, gone?!" Hayner yelled, surprised, and became more shocked when he couldn't say the word Photo either.

Olette gasped. "You can't say _, why not?"

"But you do understand what I'm saying, right?" Pence asked, "Our _ are gone."

"Stolen…" said Roxas, "And not only that, the word _. They stole it too."

"Umm okay," Sora said raising his hand, "Am I the only one who sees how impossible this should be?" Roxas blinked a few times.

"Yeah… you're right. What could steal an actual word from us? Something that isn't even physical for them to take?"

Sora gave his brother a "No shit" look.

"What the hell's wrong with me?" Roxas whispered to himself.

"Roxas?" Sora asked softly, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder trying to turn Roxas towards him. Roxas gave his brother a small smile and shook his head.

"Anyway, whoever or whatever is doing this needs to be stopped," said Roxas in determination as he faced his friends once again.

Subtly, Sora grabbed his little brother's wrist as the others continued to talk.

"Yeah, I mean Seifer could never pull that off," Hayner commented. "Time for some recon."

"Yeah," Sora and Roxas answered back. Hayner, Pence and Olette ran out ahead of the brothers, but the moment the two of them tried to follow a wave of dizziness hit them both, and they collapsed on the ground.

"It's working, their beings are becoming one."

Sora and Roxas woke up with a groan. "Rox, you ok?" asked Sora as he sat up, putting his hand on Roxas' shoulder. Roxas nodded and stood up, extending his hand to his brother who took it with a grateful smile. Before they could wonder about what happened Olette called them both to hurry up. They nodded at her and ran to catch up with their three friends.

At the Sandlot the five of them met three of Seifer's gang, and got accused of being thieves again before said gang leader showed up.

"Shut up blondie," commented Seifer.

"Says the blond," retorted Sora with a raised eyebrow.

"Shut up. You can give us back the _ now."

"Yeah, you're the only ones who would take it, Y'know!" said Rai.

"That was totally undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers," Seifer said pointing at the gang while circling them.

"Don't stop me from socking him in the face," Roxas whispered to the brunet who snickered at this.

"Listen Seifer, I don't know how in the world you think we could steal an actual word from anyone," started Sora.

"And frankly at this point we're afraid to ask," continued Roxas.

"But we didn't steal anything!"

"Please, there's no one else who would. So what'd you do with them? burn them? Huh, not that we need _ to prove that you're losers."

"Replay," said Fuu, and Seifer laughed evilly, which made Sora and Roxas exchange a look of "Is he actually serious with this?"

"Now you're talking." Each of the three took a fighting stance, Hayner, Sora and Roxas retaliated with their own stances. "I guess if you get on your knees and beg, maybe I'll let it slide."

Roxas walked forwards to Seifer and his gang. "Roxas," Hayner called, but the blond was already face to face with Seifer. Before he knew it Seifer was punched in the face so fast, he fell on the ground.

"Bastard!" he yelled, and quickly stood to fight Roxas grabbing one of the toy bats from the ground. Before Seifer could hit, Roxas rolled on the ground and grabbed his own bat.

"Kick his ass, Rox!" Yelled Sora, and the two blonds began to fight. Roxas made Seifer lose his footing soon enough, as he kicked Seifer's leg from underneath him. The blond regained his footing and dashed at Roxas, with Roxas easily evading him. Seifer tried again, and this time Roxas blocked, then hit him twice, and all it seemed to take to make Seifer go down.

Seifer fell to his knees, which made Fuu and Rai come to his defence with excuses.

"Seifer's not feeling too hot, Y'know."

"Tournament decides."

Sora went to Roxas putting an arm around his shoulder giving him a proud smile. Pence took his camera out and snapped a photo of them. Suddenly something white and thin came out of nowhere and stole Pence's camera, startling all of them.

"What was that?" Hayner asked, far too calmly.

"The thief?" Olette responded, also calm. Roxas and Sora exchange a worried look, but before they knew it their friends had already started chasing whatever it was. The two of them started chasing the others, not sure what they'd be able to do to beat the thief.

Somehow chasing their target resulted in only Roxas and Sora catching up to it, going through the forest and into the old mansion.

Roxas and Sora stood facing whatever… It was.

"We have come for you, my Liege," was heard by both boys, which made them confused even more both taking a step back. The mouth got unzipped and the thing let out a screech. Again with bats on the floor each boy took one, and stood ready to fight.

Both boys acted as one. After all, they had been training together to get stronger. They dashed towards It, hitting it with all the force that they had, but It seemed unaffected, sometimes even sliding away from them.

The boys backed off. "It's no use," said Roxas looking at Sora, but before his older brother could say anything, the bats somehow started to change and turn into something else, something like Keys, like the Keyblades Roxas saw in his dreams.

Sora's...well Keyblade, looked like the one he used in his dream; a simple, golden hilt, with a silver blade that ended with a door key .

Roxas' however, was different; metallic white, the tip was adorned with something resembling a star in blue and yellow. A small heart shaped connected the star to the blade like form. The hilt fit a hand perfectly, and was adorned with wings on either side. At the end of it hung a small chain, connecting to a small yellow star charm.

"Are those what I think they are?" Sora whispered in wonder and confusion. Roxas nodded, mute. "Keyblades," the older boy muttered in wonder, remembering his brother's description of it.

The boys exchanged a determined look and nodded, taking their fighting position.

Using the giant keys came far too natural to them, they were able to actually hurt and defeat the white Thing in seconds. When It disappeared, the missing photos all scattered on the ground. Sora's Keyblade disappeared, but Roxas' stayed in his hand, both brother's focus now on it.

"The Keyblade," Roxas whispered. He raised the key up, and Sora came closer, putting his hand around the hilt, above his brother's. Seconds past until Sora let go, and Roxas dismissed the magical weapon.

"Lets get all these photos back where they belong, we can freak out about this later," Sora said, and Roxas nodded. It was the best course of action anyway.

Roxas picked one of the photos to see the one the five of them took a few years ago with Sora's arm around his shoulder, Hayner beside them and Pence and Olette crouching down.

The five of them reunited at the usual spot, Roxas and Sora showing their friends some of the photos.

"Whats this?" Hayner asked looking at the photo of Roxas, Sora and a shop owner.

"We were his first customers when he first opened his shop," Roxas said.

"So he decided to take a picture with us," continued Sora with a small shrug.

"It's a really nice photo," said Olette. "Oh," she gasped once she realised what she just said.

"Hey, you can say photo again! " Said Pence excitedly.

"So you two, tell us about the picture thief."

Knowing they'd both sound crazy if they told the truth, both of the brothers decided to lie through their teeth.

"Not much to say," Roxas answered, and Sora rested the back of his head on his hands.

"Yeah, the photos were just lying there," the brunette continued.

"Then how do we prove that we weren't the ones that took 'em?" Asked Hayner a little frustrated. The friends looked through more photos.

"So like, did anyone else notice that all these photos have Roxas and Sora in them?" asked Pence.

"Did anyone notice how Roxas and Sora take every picture together? I mean, there isn't one picture I can think off that has only one of them," Hayner said. Roxas and Sora blinked a few times in response.

"Huh, you're right," Olette replied, "But Pence is still right, all these pictures have Roxas and Sora in them. I guess that's why everyone thought it was us."

"Guess Seifer didn't go accusing us after all?" Hayner asked.

"Are they really all of us?" Roxas turned to Pence and asked.

"Yup," the black haired boy answered showing the brothers another photo with them in it, then going through a few more.

"Wouldn't be weird if the thief wanted to steal the real Roxas and Sora or something?" Pence wondered.

"Come on, get real," said Hayner, "Who'd wanna steal these two boneheads anyway?"

"Hey!" Sora exclaimed mock offended giving Hayner a pout, the five of them laughed. The clock's ringing was heard along with the sound of the train. The three of them waved goodbye to Roxas and Sora, who stayed back longer. They both took a deep breath and clutched each other's hands, taking one more breath until they calmed down. When they both calmed down enough they left the alley, only to have the sun shine in their faces and everything going blank.

Restoration 35%

In a dark lair where the only light is casted from several computer screens that illuminated a masked figure in red.

"Organization miscreants… they've found us." The red wearing masked man said.

"But why would the Nobodies steal photographs?" Asked Riku.

"All three are nothing but data to them. The fools could never tell the difference. We are running out of time, Namine must make haste." He said.

"The Sora in there… is he…?"

"He is Sora, the real Sora, memories of last year missing and altered slightly to not question having a brother."

"But, why?"

"The Nobodies might not have hearts to feel but they could simulate such things, and with his true memories hidden, he would never know the difference. That way when it comes to returning to Sora, it would be much easier for him to agree." Diz explained.

"But what about Sora?" Riku asked.

"What about him?"

"He's already far too attached to Roxas, he won't accept what you're planning for him."

"Once Sora realizes that Roxas is not truly real, he simply wouldn't care about him any more."

"You clearly don't know Sora at all," Riku deadpanned, "Trust me, Diz, this plan will come back to bite you."

"I'm sure it'll be just fine. I admit, their closeness was surprising but... "

"What do you mean surprising?" Riku interrupted him, "You put fake memories in both, didn't you?" Riku asked, confused.

"What I put, were vague ideas, just simple information, nothing specific, no true altered memories. Every touch, interaction and reaction is simply them."

"Diz?"

"Yes?"

"You're going to die."
