A/N: Hello everyone who decided to read this story! For those who didn't read the summary, this is a SEQUEL to my story CAMP TIDE. I strongly suggest reading that first because then you won't understand or care what's going on here. For those who have read it, welcome back.
It's been a while since I've posted anything on here. I wanted to really plan out this story and make it better than the original, and I really hope it turns out that way. I don't want to give you guys a pointless sequel. But enough talk, here's the first chapter to Twilight Tales.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Wake up you lazy bum!"
Oh my god they're so loud! Who is yelling at me at this time? I slowly open my eyes, waiting for them to adjust. Seconds later, Yuna comes into view. She just gives me that sweet smile that it just too hard to resist.
"Leave me alone" I whine, pulling the covers over my head.
She yanks the cover away, exposing my in nothing but my boxers. She extends her arm towards me. It took me a moment to realize that she was passing me coffee.
"Drink this. It'll help you with that hangover" she explains.
Is that why I have a killer headache? Eh, makes sense. I slowly sit up on the couch. How did I end up sleeping on the couch? Fuck, I'm sore all over! I slowly reach for the coffee mug.
"Thanks" I say.
"No problem. Now, what did we learn from drinking last night?" she asks motherly.
I take a sip.
"If I learned anything, I wouldn't remember right now" I joked. To be honest, I wasn't joking. It would take a while for me knowing my stupid ass.
She giggles.
"How did I end up on the couch?" I asked.
"Well after everyone left last night, you, Hayner, and Pence decided to stay and drink longer. You ended up drinking yourself to sleep on the couch, so we thought it was best for you all to spend the night" she explained.
I would do something like that. I took another sip as I nod to her explanation.
"Everyone still here?" I asked.
"Yup. We're all in the backyard having breakfast. So get up!" she demands.
I chuckle as I take another sip. I stand up and follow Yuna to the back patio, not bothering to put my clothes on. When we walked outside, I shielded my eyes from the sun with my arm. Damn it was so bright! I need sunglasses.
"Hey, Roxas!" An all too familiar Hayner shouted.
"Good morning fag!" joked Pence.
I flip them off as I make my way to the table. I started to remember the events from last night. Yuna's parents were on vacation so she decide to throw a little party. A couple of old classmates from high school showed up so it was pretty chill. I remember just smoking in the back with Pence and Yuna while Hayner was trying to fuck Paine (which I'm pretty sure he did). As I make my way to the table, I notice that Yuna's good friends Paine and Rikku were also here. I guess they decided to spend the night as well, seeing that they're in what looked like sleeping attire (short shorts and a tank).
"Dress much?" Paine asked.
"Nope. I like to expose myself in the morning" I joked.
"It's the afternoon"
I almost choked on my coffee.
"Really?! What time?" I asked.
"About, 1:30" Pence answers.
"Fuck, I feel like I wasted my day. Wait Yuna, why'd you say we were having breakfast?"
"Well this is the first time we've ate all day"
I just nodded. I notice Rikku whispering something to Paine as I take another sip. What bothered me about Rikku (besides her name) was that she'd like to talk shit. But other than that, she was fucking cute! I never talked to her much in high school. I don't know why, we just didn't. I was only friends with Yuna. Then there was Paine. To be honest, she use to really creep me out. But once I actually got to know her, she wasn't all that bad. I don't know if Hayner has a thing for her, or if he was just horny last night because he couldn't stop talking about her last night during the party.
"Yo Roxas, nice boner!" Hayner joked.
"Why you staring?" I joked back.
Everyone chuckled as I took another sip.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The three of us skated around the Sandlot, landing tricks and shouting profanity if we missed. The usual shit we do. I skated over to a nearby bench and sat down to rest. Hayner and Pence followed.
"God, I miss this!" I shout.
The three of us chuckle as two locals walking by gave us strange looks.
"Yeah it felt weird skating without you man" Pence explains.
"Aww, that's cute" I joked.
He playfully punches my arm.
"Pussy" I joke.
"Did you at least get to skate around at camp?" Hayner asks.
"I mean, sort of. Every time I would a consoler would stop me"
"What? That sucks. I thought they consolers were chill?"
"Well they were for the most part, but they kept going on about how 'if I got injured it was on them and they could get sued and blah blah blah'"
We chuckled again. Memories started to flood back. I haven't thought about Camp Tide much. I was always hanging out with Hayner and Pence, which always kept me occupied. I never explained to them the whole Aqua situation, and I kept major details about Kairi and I hidden from them, like the whole her sleeping with Riku thing. It was just something I didn't feel like explaining to them.
"Hey, whose down for some sea salt ice cream up at the clock tower?" suggested Pence.
"I'm down!" Hayner and I said in unison.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000
The three of us skated to the nearest ice cream shop and snuck up to the tower. We've been going here since we were in middle school. The only difference now is that Olette doesn't come with us anymore… fuck, I'm completely forgot about her.
"Roxas, it's dripping" Pence tells me.
I snap out of my thoughts as I notice a drop of my ice cream fall all the way down to the bottom of the tower.
"Shit!"
I quickly brought it to my lips and licked it until it would stop dripping.
"Stop day dreaming" Hayner tells me.
"Were you thinking about 'Camp Girl'?" Pence teased.
They referred to Kairi as 'Camp Girl' because they can't ever remember her name. I just went with it.
"No, you dicks!" I shot.
The two of them just laughed.
"Relax man, we're just messing with ya. Besides, it was probably Olette he was thinking about" Hayner joked.
"Fuck off!" I shot.
They just kept laughing.
"Man, where did that even come from?" I added.
"Alright alright. That was too far. My bad man" he apologized.
"It's straight" I softly said as I licked my ice cream.
The two of them just stared at me for a while.
"Dude, when are you gonna stop hating her?" asks Hayner.
"What? Dude, I don't hate her" I explain.
"Well why aren't you talking to her? I miss the four of us hanging out man"
"I never said you couldn't hang out with her man!" I explain.
"I want ALL of us to hang out!"
"God, you're so fucking random man. Where is this coming from? I don't have a problem with it. She can if she wants to"
Hayner gives me a smirk.
"Really?" You don't mind?" he asks.
"No. I'm fine with it"
"No man!"
"Then why are you getting upset?"
"I'm not upset, you're being annoying man!" I shot.
I love Hayner and all, but he says the stupidest shit.
"So if I invited her to my house tonight for the party, you won't mind?" he asks.
See what I mean?
"No man. It's straight" I tell him.
I don't know if it was a good idea or not, I just wanted him to shut the fuck up. Why was he so interested if I hated her or not?
"You're just being weird about it" I added.
"I know, I know. I just usually say whatever pops up in my head, you know that" he explains, his smirk somewhat fading away.
"Whatever. But lets just enjoy this man" I say, trying to change the subject.
He just shrugged and went back to licking his ice cream. We were quiet for a moment until Pence spoke out.
"So are Yuna and the others coming?"
"Yup. Invited them while you two were waiting outside her house" Hayner answered.
"Cool. Do you have a thing for Paine, by the way?"
Hayner chuckles.
"Not really. I'm just going with the flow"
"Did you fuck her last night?" I asked.
Hayner laughs.
"Yes Roxas, I did. Damn, and you say I'm random"
I laughed along with him.
"It was just something I forgot to ask" I explained.
The three of us chuckled a bit.
"Yo, lets go to the usual spot for a bowl" I suggested.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It was 10:45 PM. Hayner's little get together was pretty chill. There was only about 40 something people here, which is pretty small. People were dancing, drinking, smoking. The usual shit. To be honest, I like it when these parties are small. I don't like them big, because it just gets annoying after a while.
"Hey Roxas!" Pence shouts.
I look to my left and see him walking up to me with two beers.
"Got you one man" he says, handing me a bottle.
"Oh shit, thanks man"
I take it and uncap it.
"It's pretty chill so far" he tell me, referring to the party.
"Yeah. Why don't you dance?" I asked.
"Who wants to dance with a fat fuck?" he asks.
I still can't believe he talks like that.
"Hey, I'll dance with a fat fuck!" I tell him.
We both start to chuckle.
"Stop saying shit like that man" I tell him.
"Eh, I'm only joking. Besides, I'd rather sit and talk with people" he explains.
"Hey guys!"
He turn and see both Zack and Olette walking up to us. Shit, this is gonna get weird.
"Oh shit, look who it is!" Pence shouts.
He shakes Zack's hand and hugs Olette. Zack walks up to me.
"Hey man, how's it going?" he asks, extending his hand towards me.
"Hey man. It's been a while. How've you been?"
I grab his hand and we shake.
"I've been pretty good man. Just enjoying the summer" he explains.
"Same here" I tell him.
Olette know walks up.
"Hey stranger" I greet.
"Hey Roxas!"
We embrace each other in a hug. Damn, it's been a while since we've done that. It feels weird but I really don't care. I figure she feels the same about. After what felt like a while, we let go.
"How's your summer been?" she asks.
"It's been... interesting" I answer, thinking back about camp.
"What does that mean?" she asks.
"Oh, it's nothing. Just being weird" I tell her.
Zack and her chuckle. Shit, I forgot he was here.
"How about you guys? Looks like you guys are a thing now" I ask.
I hope she doesn't take that awkwardly. Zack chuckles nervously. I guess he knows about our past. It's been awhile since I've seen Zack.
"Uh, yeah. Our summers been pretty good I guess. Haven't done much though" he answers.
Yeah, not much except go to the movies and fuck... shit, what am I saying?
"Sounds fun" I tell them.
We just chuckle.
"Hey, I'm gonna get another beer" I tell them.
"Oh, I'll go with you" suggests Olette.
I give her a confused look but quickly bush it off.
"Oh, alright" I slowly say.
She follows me to the table of beer. That's pretty weird how she would want to come with me. Unless...
"Hey Roxas... is this awkward for you?"
There it is. I give her another confused look.
"No. Why?"
"Come on, you know why"
"Because of what happened between us or because of you dating Zack?" I ask.
"Well, both I guess" she slowly answers.
"Olette, it's fine" I tell her.
"You sure?" she asks.
I thought about it. It didn't really bother me. Hmm, I must be getting over her sooner than I thought. Or maybe I'm just a bit tipsy. Fuck, I don't know.
"Yes, I'm sure" I chuckle.
She just smiles. She hasn't smiled like at me in a while. Damn, so cute.
"Alright, good" she says.
I grab two beers, handing one to her.
"Thanks" she says, grabbing one.
"No problem"
"Well, I gonna head back to Pence and Zack" she tells me.
"Alright. I'll join you guys in a bit"
"Okay" she says.
She gives me one last smile before walking off. That hasn't so hard. I can be friends with her. My dumb ass just needed to actually try. As I take a sip of my beer, I see Rikku and Paine walk towards.
"Hey, you have clothes on" Rikku jokes.
"Ha-ha, very funny" I say sarcastically.
The two girls chuckle.
"I'm gonna go streak in five minutes so get ready for that" I add.
"Oh joy. Hey, have you seen Hayner?" Paine asks.
"Yeah, he's in the back"
"Thanks"she says, walking off.
That was pretty random. Oh wait, Rikku is still in front of me. We just stare at each other awkwardly.
"You know, Paine left" I explained, trying not to sound mean.
"I know. I just don't feel like seeing her make out with Hayner" she tells me.
I laugh at this.
"Makes sense. Hm, I guess I can let you chill around here with me" I joke.
"Oh thanks, jerk. And here I thought you were too cool for me" she jokes back.
We both laugh at this.
"So um, how's your summer been?" I ask, trying to start a conversation.
"It's been alright. Just enjoying it until I go off to college"
"Same here. What college you going to?"
"Twilight College. Just like everyone else here" she answers, giggling.
"Not me"
"Oh really? Where are you off too?"
"Traverse Town University"
"Oh! Stepping up from this place huh?" she asks.
"Hell yeah! I just wanna get the fuck out of here"
"Well what's so bad about this place?"
"Well, I've only ever been in this town. The only other place I've been to is the Destiny Islands and-"
I just stop and think about who I'm talking to. Rikku, the shit talker.
"What?" she asks.
"No it's just, I barely know you and I'm just spilling my 'thoughts and dreams'. Not that you're a bad person, it's just kind of weird I guess" I explain.
She just giggles again. Okay, so she's not mad.
"No, I understand"
"Alright. It's not a big deal though. I was just pointing it out so that-"
"Hey Roxas?" she cuts me off.
I just stare at her.
"You're drunk aren't you?" she asks.
"Just a bit tipsy" I defend.
We both chuckled at this. For the rest of the night, we just talk about random shit like high school, movies, smoking, and other random shit. It was pretty chill. I guess I can say I made a new friend. And she wasn't the shit talker that I knew from high school. She was different. She seemed less hyper and a lot more chill. Though there would be times she would bounce off the walls (not literally).
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00
After two hours of talking and dancing with Rikku, I decided to head home. I was pretty tired. As I was about to head out, Rikku stops me.
"Hey Roxas?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you wanna hang out tomorrow?" she asks.
She wants to hang out?
"You asking me out on a date?" I joke.
"Yes! A date Roxas!" she jokes back.
We both laugh.
"Yeah, I'm down"
"Cool. You have my number?" she asks.
"Oh, no. That's pretty important" I say, pulling out my phone.
We exchange numbers.
"Alright, well see ya tomorrow" I tell her.
We hug each other and I walk off Hayner's porch. Today was a pretty chill day. I guess I fixed things up with Olette and made a new friend. Looks like the rest of my summer will be going better than I thought.

A/N: I know this was really rushed but this was just a way to introduce some characters and just a way to start the story off. I will try to make the next few chapters feel a lot more natural. But I want to know if you guys find this interesting. Please be honest, I don't mind negative feedback as long as you actually have a reason for it.
There will be a lot more characters and side plots being introduced so expect the story to go through a lot of different directions. Hopefully it works. Once again, let me know what you guys think about this chapter. Take care guys!
