Visit my DeviantArt profile: mimichan62. You'll see a picture there with the same title. It was my inspiration for this.
-Standard disclaimers apply- BTW. The chapters are very short so don't complain and say that I need to make them longer because I don't have an enigma for making long stories. Enjoy this. Thanks!

... As Random Darkness from my Heart awakens.
And there he was, A salt pop in hand
"Here you are Axel." Xenahort had said.
"Xenahort?" I questioned.
He simply smiled at me.
"Roxas. Here." Axel offered.
I looked at the slowly melting salty dessert. It used to be my favorite icicle. I'd eat it with Pence, Olette and Hayner.
But those were simpler times, when the world had sanity.
But honestly, up until this moment, ever since I was a child, that was my dream.
A quiet life with my friends. A peaceful world.
But this summer, school had been deleted from my life. Fighting and seeking power for resolve with this organization and my friends replaced it.
I, still looking at the melting salt pop, stood there and finally took it.
Then something clicked.
I took off my coat, my old clothes underneath, and ran back to the Back Ally where we once always were.
There I saw them and almost broke down to tears.
Hayner, Pence, Olette... My past. They were there, eating icicles.
"R-Roxas?" Hayner said in disbelief, dropping his popsicle.
"Hayner." I said his name, because for a long time I had not.
"Pence... Olette." I continued.
We stood there. Unfathomable for some but silence was enough for us.
"Roxas!" We hugged, for a long time now.
Right then and there. I wanted my old life back but as much as I did... I don't think that's my jurisdiction... /3
