"Wait, so you really do exist? You're not just a dream like I thought?" Sora asked aloud, having heard the quiet voice in his head.
"Well... I think so, anyway. It's a weird feeling, to be part of someone else, you know? I'm not quite sure what it means to exist anymore." Roxas replied, in a voice that could only be heard by Sora.
"Obviously I do know, seeing as this means I'm only part of a person, too." The spiky brunette replied with a shrug. It wasn't usual that he had some time alone without Donald and Goofy, so he was making use of it to get to know his other half. "I read the Ansem reports, and in them it kinda explains all of this. It's still confusing, but from what I got, I'm the heart, and you're the body and soul. Kinda funny seeing as that makes you more of me than I am." Sora mused, scratching his head. That was another good reason to be alone. If others were around, they'd be looking at him awfully weird to see him talking to himself.
"Yeah..." Roxas said simply, his 'voice' still quiet.
Sora wished he could look at his blonde half, but since he couldn't he just pointed a finger at his forhead warningly. "Hey, don't go depressed on me. I'm a happy person, so together, we gotta be happy, right? Think of it this way, you're getting off easy. You don't have to worry about acting nice around people, or what happens if you make a fool of yourself in front of a girl. Or, well, anyone."
"Because you certainly seem to do that a lot." The blonde interjected,
"Hey, there's no need for making fun of me!"
"I can do that all I want, what are you going to do, hit me?"
"Uh...maybe. Yeah, I will!" Sora said, and without thinking it through all the way, punched himself in the head.
"OUCH!" Roxas exclaimed.
"Huh..." Sora said, rubbing his own head, "That shouldn't have worked..."
"It didn't, I was just kidding, you dope." The other half said mockingly.
Both Sora and Roxas then burst out into laughter. Finally, when the blonde was able to recover, he asked, "So where are we going next?"
Sora sat down on the floor with his legs splayed out, "I'm thinking we'll go visit Ariel in Atlantica. Though... I'm not too excited on the singing part."
"Yeah, but you like to swim."
"Yep! It's sooo cool to have a tail, and breathe underwater as a Mer..."
"Man?" Roxas finished.
The brunette made a pondering sound, playing with one of his hair spikes "No... well, I suppose that's what some people call them, but it doesn't make too much sense. If the girls are call Mermaids and not Merwomen or Mergirls, then guys shouldn't be called Mermen or Merboys. They should be called something that goes along with maids."
"Like...Merbutlers?" Roxas offered.
"Yeah! I'm gonna be a Merbutler!" Sora exclaimed, happy that it had been decided.
"Well...then I'm glad that I'm not completely you. Who would want to be a 'Merbutler?'" Roxas said in a derogatory way.
There was silence for a moment, and then both the boys who should never have been more than one in the first place burst into laughter again.
