The Apple That Started Everything
"…Ow!"
The blonde little boy was awakened by the somewhat round, red object falling from the sky…and landed on his head. "Where did this apple come from…" The little boy got up and rubbed his sea-blue eyes.
He heard whimpers from above.
A tiny little figure with soft, cream colored hair sat on a branch, desperately holding on, with tears in her eyes. "Why are you crying?" the little boy asked.
"I-I don't know how to get down." sobbed the little figure.
"Hmm, I see…now I have to go home. So good luck and see you soon." the little blonde responded as he picked up the apple and turned away.
"N-No! Can you help me get down from this tree…please? I don't want to fall into the ocean." stammered the frightened girl.
The little blonde turned back around and sighed. "On the count of three, jump down, okay? I'll catch you."
The teary-eyed little figure wept, "Y-you promise you'll catch me?"
"Yes, I promise," answered the little boy, "Ready? One…two…three!"
The frightened little girl hesitantly let go of the branch and leaped off, feeling the autumn winds brush against her as she closed her eyes in fear.
"Hey…can you please get off me?" a voice came from below.
She looked around, then below, only to find herself sitting on the little blonde boy. "Oh! I'm so sorry…" The little girl got up and kneeled beside him, careful to straighten out her pale white dress. "And thank you, for…saving me." "No prob-Ow!" the blonde boy exclaimed as he tried to sit up.
"Ugh…I think I broke my wrist…"
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry…" trembled the teary girl.
"I'm fine…don't cry," empathized the little boy. "What is your name?"
"N-Naminé... I'm Naminé! What is your name?"
"Roxas," the little boy said as he began to tear up.
"I really like your name, Roxas. And you also have really pretty eyes," gleamed a smiling Naminé.
The injured Roxas blushed. "T-thank you…"
A moment later, little Naminé announced, "Roxas! Are you crying, Roxas? Don't cry! Only girls should cry!"
"It hurts though…I broke my wrist!" cried the little injured Roxas.
Naminé comforted the blonde boy, and then moments later, he asked, "Why were you climbing that tree?"
"Heheh…I was hungry…" confessed an embarrassed Naminé.
"Oh…I see where this apple came from, then…" acknowledged Roxas as he held up the smooth, red apple with his other hand. "Here. You can have it, since you're probably still hungry."
As Naminé thanked him again, Roxas attempted to get up. "…I can't get up."
Naminé stood up and held her pale, fragile hands out, then smiled genuinely. "Here, take my hand. Let me help you up."
As Roxas placed his hand in Naminé's and lifted himself back up, he smiled at her. "Thanks. I need to go home now, though. So I guess I'll see you later?"
"W-Wait! Since I caused your injury, I need to repay you somehow. Please let me care for your injury!" pleaded Naminé. "Alright, follow me."
The two little figures slowly walked away from the apple tree, where the autumn winds had embraced steeply down the hilltop filled with wavering grass, bowing and bending upon the wind's will. Roxas and Naminé walked hand in hand as they went through the straight path surrounded by a forest of evergreens and a misty aura. "Umm…Roxas? Are we there yet…?" asked a timid Naminé.
"No." replied Roxas.
The view of the city was serene. The blue waters surrounded the place, and at the horizon the ocean met with the sky. The warm, sweet aromas from the coffee shop seemed to add more color to this place.
Along the way, Naminé started singing two words in her own tune. "La la la…sea sky sea sky sea sky sea sky sea sky sea sky sea sky."
Finally, both little children reach a two story house. "Woahhhh!" exclaimed Naminé as she blinked innocently. The house was made of red bricks, with a garden in the front, filled with flowers which looked like daisies and irises. The house had a balcony on the second floor, with a huge window that reflected in the sunlight. The front door was made of smooth-looking wood and a low wooden fence that surrounded the whole house.
They walked towards the door and rang the doorbell. A woman answered the door.
"Well, hello, my dear Roxas. Who is this cute little girl?"
Naminé blurted, "I'm Naminé," blinking her big, round eyes.
"I met her at the apple tree. I broke my wrist and she wanted to help me care for it," explained the little boy.
"Come on in, little ones," welcomed the mother, smiling.
Roxas's mother lead both children into Roxas's room, then asked both of them to sit on the bed. "I'll be back with the medical kit, okay? Just sit still."
"Whoa…Roxas, you have a pretty room! I like it." Naminé announced as she continued to ramble on about the bed, and then questioned Roxas about how many pillows he had.
When Roxas's mother returned to the room with the medical kit, Naminé insisted that she had to be the one who wrapped Roxas's wrist after the medicine is applied.
"Roxas?" Naminé said as she wrapped layers of stretchy bandage around his wrist.
"Yes?"
"I like this bandage."
The injured boy couldn't help but laugh. She's silly and cute.
"Roxas!" exclaimed Naminé as she finished wrapping.
"Yes?" responded a startled Roxas.
"You must feel better soon! From now on, I'll come over every day to make sure your wrist is getting better, okay? You must be able to see the sora and kairi soon!" declared a determined Naminé.
"Okay. What's sora and kairi?" said Roxas as he let out a sigh. For one moment, I thought she read my mind.
"Sora and kairi mean sky and sea in Japanese! I learned that from…uhh…I forgot. Well, I learned it from somewhere," explained an enthusiastic Naminé.
A few seconds later, Roxas's mother opened the door halfway and offered to bring cookies in for a snack.
"Okay! I love cookies! How about you, Roxas?" asserted the flaxen haired girl.
"They're okay. Too sweet." replied the blonde.
While they munched on their cookies, Naminé talked about everything, from the pencil on his desk, to the little mark she found on her teddy bear the other day.
"Well, I have to leave now, or else my mommy and daddy will be worried about me," announced Naminé, gripping tightly to the red apple in which Roxas had given her.
"Wait," Roxas responded as he wiped off the little crumbs on Naminé's cheek, "You had some crumbs on your cheek…now it's gone."
"Thank you," Naminé said, smiling brightly.
The two little children walked to the front door. The little blonde boy opened the door and they stand at the porch. "Bye bye, Roxas. See you tomorrow!"
Roxas leaned down and picked a flower from the garden. "Here, an orange flower for you," Roxas smiled as he handed it to Naminé.
"Hehe. Thank you," Naminé replied.
"You have really pretty eyes too," confessed the little Roxas as he blushed.
"You're so nice, Roxas. I'll see you tomorrow, okay? Make me cookies again! And don't forget to show me all your pillows! Pinky promise?" asserted little Naminé as she holds out her tiny pinky.
"Yep! Pinky promise!" agreed innocent, little Roxas as he held out his pinky.
Hello~ ;) I was so very excited when I finally finished editing this story the other day. So, how was it? _
When I first started writing this story, my dear friend suggested that I write one-shots. When I thought of one-shots, I thought of stories with only one chapter. But no, it took me a while to understand. There's going to be some age-gaps in this story. ^^
This story looked pretty long on the word document...turns out it was this short. I must work on adding more detail to my stories. I'm on an extremely important mission, as my dear friend says, to complete this story with my best effort! I tried to make this less romantic since they're only six. I thought of making them age three or four but then my dear friend said that three and four year-olds don't climb trees. And even if they did, either Naminé or Roxas would die if Naminé jumped down...and I really didn't want either them to die...so I had to change their ages...Well, I wanted to make them seem innocent and cute...so I hope it worked out right.
On a side note, I absolutely love horoscopes! So then, I decided to do a bit of research on the compatibility of signs. ;) A lot of this really relates to me, like Roxas's birthday, to me, has a lot of meaning. As for Naminé's personality, it was a tad bit influenced by my personality. Nope, I didn't climb trees...but I climbed fences. :DD
I really love romance and friendship. I always have a bunch of ideas shooting into my mind so I just decided to put it all down in a story. My writing skills aren't great, but I hope to work on it to deliver an enjoyable story.~ :)
Ok, well, please comment or critique! I would appreciate it a lot~
Thanks for reading!
