Xion Thomason woke from a dream with a million questions buzzing in her mind. On an island on the other side of the world, Sora Nomura was still asking himself very similar questions from a dream he'd had that night, only a few hours ago.

The boy from my dream looks like Roxas, I wonder if he's anything like him. Xion pulled herself out of bed, and picked up her phone, she dialed 13 on her phone, which was the quick dial number for her boyfriend.
"Hello" Roxas groaned, Xion chuckled, she'd woken him up. "Sorry, Roxas, I didn't mean to wake you up."
"I know, I know. So you did call for some reason right?"
"Well duh. Roxas I had a dream."
"Of world peace? Cause we already have that."
"No, I had a dream about a boy."
"Me, or someone I need to punch really hard?"
"Neither! Roxas, I don't know who this guy is, but he looks a lot like you."
"Really, tell me about him."
"Well, he had brown hair, and it defies gravity, kind of like your's. Although his eyes, oh my god Roxas, they looked exactly like your's, only just a little more happy."
"Oh, so now I'm depressed, huh?" Roxas' tone let Xion know that he was just joking.
"Well Roxas, you're not mad that I had a dream about some other guy?"
"No, in fact if I had to guess, this guy isn't even real. Why are you so worried?"
"I have a mini-crush on him."
"Oh, fucking great, I have to compete with an imaginary guy for you."
"No Roxas, he has nothing on you." She smiled even though he couldn't see it. "I love you Roxy."
"You know I hate that damn nickname. But I love you too. See you later."
"See you." Xion hung up, grabbed a good looking outfit, and beelined for the shower. She couldn't stop thinking about the dream boy. He was just so cute, she couldn't get over it.

Why did the girl from that dream look so much like Kairi, but she seemed so sad. She was pale with black hair, I wonder what she's really like. I wonder if she's even real.
"Sora, sweetheart, are you ok?" Sora looked at his girlfriend, Kairi. "I just had this dream last night. I can't stop thinking about it."
"What was it about?"
"A girl"
"Me, or…?"
"Well, not you, but she looked just like you, in fact, it easily could have been you with a black wig on and your hair parted the other way."
"Wow. Well, why is that bothering you so much?"
"Well, some part of me knows it wasn't you, but I kinda like her. Not nearly as much as you, but… liking anyone but you at all feels really strange."
"Don't worry Sora you'll forget about that silly dream sooner or later." Kairi gave him an honest, innocent smile. This was her normal smile and Sora was crazy for it.
"Have I told you today that you're incredibly beautiful, and I love you more then life itself."
"Yes, twice today, and I can't wait to hear it again." Sora smiled at her, he loved nothing more in the world. However, in the back of his mind, the mysterious girl still hovered, waiting for the moment he wasn't with Kairi, to once again flood into his mind.

The next day not only did Xion and Sora have similar dreams to their first, but Roxas and Kairi had similar dreams as well, but not of the same people as their loves.

Roxas woke from a dream of a girl he didn't know. She was beautiful, just like Xion, but more cheerful and with red hair. It was parted a different way too. Roxas reached for his phone, but just as he picked it up, it rang, so he answered it.
"Roxas, I had another dream about imaginary boy."
"Oh, well, imaginary boy should go on a date with imaginary girl, I think they're just perfect for each other."
"Oh no, not you too."
"Yup, sorry Xion."
"It's ok. I love you."
"I love you too, always will, alright?"
"Talk to you later."
"Yeah."

Kairi looked to the sea, she'd dreamt of the most haunting boy. His face was like Sora's but sad and incredibly beautiful, his tan hair was like Sora's but curled. What was it about him that got her attention so?
"Hey Kairi, I had another dream about the black haired girl… Are you alright?"
"No, I had a dream like that too, only with a tan haired boy."
"Really?"
"Yeah, and you're right, it is strange to think that I like anyone but you."
"Yeah, it does feel weird."
"Sora, what if these people we're dreaming about… are real?"
"What do you mean?" Sora could feel his hands getting cold. He was so afraid of what she may say, a million possibilities ran though his mind.
"What if… without even thinking about it… we might be… falling in love with someone else…"
"Ka-Ka-Kai-Kairi, how could you even… I-I-I'd never… ever-"
"I didn't say we're trying to Sora." He couldn't speak. Why would she think that I'd ever, even by accident!
"Kairi… Please, lets try to forget about this. I don't want this dream person, I want you."
"Yeah, same here." Kairi leaned in and kissed Sora. Her face has trying to apologize. Sora saw this and was calmed down thanks to this and the kiss. He pulled her in to kiss her again. "Hmmm, Kairi." Sora blushed, she was just amazing.
She laughed. "Hmmmm, Sora." He smiled and blushed more, that laugh was chimes in the wind, and he wished he could hear it more.

Roxas stared at Xion over the table, he hadn't even touched lunch.
"Roxas are you even gonna eat?"
"I am eating. I'm eating you up.~" He gave a wolfish smile. He hadn't touched her yet, and it would be a while before he would, but he could hardly wait for that day.
She giggled. "I love you, Roxas. You can be so sweet, even if I can see some evil intent behind that." She smiled back. That sweet, weak smile took Roxas' breath away every time he saw it. He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. Xion took his head in her hands and turned it to kiss him on the lips. Once she let him pull away. She saw him, he looked like he'd gone to heaven, but after a moment of recovery, he returned to normal.
"Xion, you are amazing. Sometimes it's hard to not jump you."
"Roxas, you can be so perverted."
"But I know you love it."
"Soooooooo.~~" Xion had on a sly smile, he was totally right. "Hey, Roxas, what about imaginary girl, how do you feel about her."
"I'll steal your girly way to describe it, a mini-crush." Roxas smiled, the 'crush' was nothing compared to his lovely Xion.
"Oh, good." Xion knew exactly what this meant.

Days went by, each having their own dreams, but no arguments occurred. After about a week, both couples won a trip to Radiant Garden. They were all excited about the trip. They had no idea what would happen next.

"I love you Sora. This trip is going to be great, isn't it."
"Yeah, it's going to be great. I can't wait to meet up with Leon and the others again."
"I can't wait ether." Kairi smiled, she hadn't seen them all in almost two years.

"Xion, you're so quiet. Is something wrong?"
"No, not really." Xion had been getting quieter and quieter sense she'd started having the dreams. Roxas was worried about her, and their relationship. He'd die for her, and having dreams about another girl made him feel weird, but he loved Xion all the same.
"I love you, Xion" He waited and waited, but she didn't answer. "Xion." He couldn't hide the hurt in his voice.
"Roxas…" Suddenly she leaned into his chest and started crying her eyes out. She hated how those dreams made her feel, she loved Roxas, not this boy she'd never met before, and for that matter never wanted to meet.

Sora and Kairi left their hotel room, and so did Roxas and Xion. As the couples past each other Kairi and Roxas looked each other right in the eye, Roxas also saw Sora (Sora on the other hand didn't see him), Roxas wanted to hurt him. However, after a moment, Roxas realized that he didn't know, he hadn't done anything at all.
Kairi did all she could to keep moving, those dream people were REAL. She'd been right. "Sora… you know the dreams, right, you're still having them, right?" Sora stopped in his tracks, why in the hell was she talking about that now?
"Yeah, why?"
"I just saw them."
"Re-really."
"Sora, the girl looked just awful. I wonder what's making her like that?" Sora wanted to say that they should keep their noses in their own business, but he wanted to know why she was upset. "What, you want to check on her?"
"Yes, if it's ok with you."
"Think we can still catch them?" Sora smiled, if he was gonna do something he'd regret, may as well have fun with it.
"Maybe!" Kairi smiled back. "I'll catch them first, I don't care if you're faster then me Sora!" Kairi started running, but Sora didn't waste a second.

"Xion, I saw imaginary boy and girl. They aren't imaginary after all."
Xion hiccupped. "What?"
"They're real."
"Wow…"
"Hey!" Roxas and Xion turned around to see a red haired girl (who'd shouted at them), and a brown haired boy running towards them. Xion felt as if her heart stopped the moment she saw the boy's face. These were indeed the people from the dreams.
"So, what's your name?" The red haired girl was asking Xion.
"Xion, what's both of your names?"
"I'm Kairi and this is Sora. What's his name?" Kairi pointed at Roxas
"I'm Roxas, and you would not believe…"
"Wait, have you been having dreams too!" Kairi looked shocked.
"Yeah, we both have, I can't say I handled it well, but Roxas has always tried to, well, keep me sane is a good way to describe it." Kairi looked at Roxas, he was like Sora, she could feel it. She blushed.
"Kairi… please… I don't want to be late for Leon and the others."
"Sora, come on, we can explain about this to Leon and them. Why don't we make some new friends?"
"I'm not interested." Kairi looked at Roxas, saddened by what he said. Without looking at anyone Roxas continued "What about you Xion?"
"No, I… I'm scared about this, the dreams are bad enough as it is."
"Yeah, the dreams are bad, but if we get to know one another-"
"We may just end up losing what we have, if you care about the guy standing right there next to you, leave, now." Roxas' eyes were cold, but inside, yelling at Kairi was killing him. It hurt just as bad as it would have yelling at Xion.
Sora turned to leave, he held out his hand for Kairi to take, she took it, but the look in her eyes said 'Please, give me one more try'. Sora sighed and nodded, he couldn't say no to her.
"Roxas, those were just dreams, they aren't real. Please, I want to get to know you." Kairi gave the innocent smile Sora loved so much to Roxas. Roxas felt the same to Kairi's smile as he did Xion's. No, I don't love her. I love Xion! Roxas just stared at Kairi as he had a mental breakdown. This can't be happening! Roxas struggled to not hug Kairi, he fought so hard, he made himself sick.
"Roxas!" Xion screamed as Roxas emptied the contents of his stomach on the ground. Kairi joined Xion in her screams, while Sora helped Roxas off his knees. After a moment Roxas simply gasped, finished throwing up. "Are you alright man?"
"Nnnng. I feel like someone just kicked me in the gut."
"Xion, is this normal for Roxas?"
"No Kairi, nothing like this has ever happened before… Roxas, darling, are… are you ok?"
"Yeah, just a little… we'll leave it at, though the dreams weren't real, they felt very real." Everyone of them agreed with him.
"So, was it my fault, huh?" Kairi looked embarrassed. Roxas looked up at her. Great, her and Sora, me and Xion, those relationships are both screwed.
"Sorry, but Kairi, you didn't listen to me, do you feel the winds of change coming around."
"What do you mean Roxas?" Kairi looked hesitant, but Sora already knew.
"So, Roxas, you really think it's all over." Roxas stood up straight at last, looked right at Sora, and nodded. Kairi and Xion were still lost as to what the boys were talking about. Roxas walked up to Xion, kissed her, and walked away.
"Roxas, wait!" Roxas turned back at her and smiled. "Xion, why don't you go with Sora for today."
"But Roxas, why?"
Roxas sighed. "I love you, Xion. But I have feelings for Kairi, too. Sora likes you, and Kairi likes me. I just think maybe there's a reason for this. I just want what's best for you, and for all I know, that isn't me."
"Roxas…" Roxas gave her the saddest smile, he meant what he'd said. "Xion, just one date with him, pretend I don't exist. For my sake, please. If he'll let you, that is."
"I guess… if you'll take care of Kairi."
"It would be an honor." Roxas smiled, he was being truthful.
"Oh, so you're trading girls, huh? I didn't think you'd ever agree to something like this, Sora."
"I don't want to, but Roxas has a point, all of us having dreams about the other, there has got to be something more to it."
"I- I guess."
"I love you Kairi, but just like Roxas to Xion, I want what's best for you." Sora's sad smile was nothing like his real one. Kairi ran up to him, and hugged him. She didn't see Sora's eyes glaze over as he remembered the only other time she'd shocked him with a hug. About a year ago, after he'd apologized for disappearing for a year. He wanted to cry, but not now, not in front of Kairi. The last time she'd hugged him like this it was to say hello, now it could easily be goodbye.

Kairi left with Roxas. Sora and Xion watched as the people they loved so, left with another.
"Xion, do you mind if I cry?"
"Not if you let me cry on your shoulder in the meantime."
"Deal." Xion looked at him, he was a wreak. "I agree. I know what your feeling. Scared."
"Yup, but I guess I agreed to this, so let's try and make it a good date." Sora flashed Xion his real smile, and she was very charmed. Maybe this won't be so bad.

Roxas looked at Kairi. This feels like one of the dreams. "Hey Kairi, is there anything you want to do?"
"Well, I don't know this area very well. Although, a restaurant would be nice!" Kairi smiled at the thought, Sora almost never bought her to restaurants.
"Alright, restaurant it is." Roxas brought Xion to restaurants all the time, and he was comfortable in them. Kairi walked over to a woman she'd seen out of the corner of her eye.
"Excuse me, but do you know any good restaurants near by, not too expencive perhaps?"
"Well now, let me think… there's a good one down aways across the street, called Nokemi."
"Nokemi? What kind of food is served there?"
"All kinds, you'd be surprised at how big the menu is."
"Alright, thank you!" Kairi walked back over to Roxas.
"Did you hear any of that, Roxas?"
"Yup, and it sounds good to me, ready?" Roxas held out his hand, smiling. Kairi took it, she needed no other prompting.

"Sora, where are we going?" Sora had Xion's hand and was leading/dragging her where he wanted to go.
"Just trust me Xion. It'll be fun." Sora looked back at her for a moment and smiled that brilliant smile.
"Ok, ok, Sora, I believe you." She looked ahead of her, and just wondered what he had in mind.
