It was a cold winter's day. Naminé was not entirely used to snow, being that she lived on a Tropical Island. With all that had happened the past couple of days, she wouldn't be surprised by anything.
But, of course, this isn't where our story begins. The REAL story started off several days ago, noontime.
It was still winter, but it was a tad bit colder than it usually was in the winter around there. The weatherman had said that it might pour sleet and hail, but no snow. Naturally, living on a tropical island, Naminé, Kairi and everyone else never saw snow. Sora and Riku, however, had seen snow before on their interplanetary travels.
Naminé was one of the unlucky few to have never seen snowfall. Kairi walked in to Naminé's room to find her drawing once again. She knelt down next to her sister and looked at her sketchbook.
"Do you ever stop drawing," asked Kairi, sarcastically.
"Not really, sis." Replied Naminé. "I've never let this book out of my sight. This book has all of my sketches and stories. I'll never let this book leave me. It's like my soul."
Kairi stared at her sister and got up. "Well," she said. "You're not the only one in our class that loves to draw." Naminé looked up for a second at Kairi, asking her to continue. "His name's Joey. I could probably introduce you to him, provided I can actually find him. He normally tends to be alone."
Naminé looked back at her sketchbook and continued to draw. She then said, quietly, "I would like that a lot. Please do try to find him."
Kairi looked at her sister with a smile. She had finally got her sister to put the sketchbook down and try to socially interact. She shut the door behind her and walked out to the hallway.
Naminé set down her sketchbook and climbed on top of her bed. She lay down, head facing the bottom, and turned on the television. She flipped through the channels and eventually stopped on a random channel. It was her favorite old show, Star Trek. She thought to herself, "I must be the only person in our grade that likes this show…"
The next day…
Sora and Roxas stepped out of their house and headed off towards school. They eventually met up with Kairi and Naminé. They all walked to school together, as they did every morning. Naminé, however, was anxious to get to school and meet this boy that Kairi was talking about.
Roxas looked at Naminé ad noticed she didn't have her sketchbook under her arm, as she normally did. "Hey, Naminé," he asked. "Where's your sketchbook? Don't you always have it with you?"
She nodded and pulled it out of her backpack. Roxas looked confused. She never kept it in her backpack. And where were her colored pencils? Didn't she always keep those with her?
When they finally got to school, Naminé immediately ran up to Kairi and asked where the boy was. Kairi said that he was actually in Naminé's homeroom. Naminé immediately ran to her classroom and stopped right in front of it. She quickly pulled her sketchbook out from her backpack and slowly opened the door and walked in.
"Hello, Naminé," the teacher said, kindly.
"Hello, Ma'am," she said. Naminé scanned the room and took a seat, not seeing anyone she hadn't already seen. She placed he sketchbook down on the table and looked at her old drawings, quickly.
About two minutes later, the door opened again and a boy stepped in, carrying multiple backpacks. He pulled out the chair beside Naminé, as it was the only free one, and sat down. He set one backpack on the table, being it a carry-on, and set the other one by his side on the ground next to his chair. He pulled out a green folder and opened it up, revealing a goldmine of Manga drawings, all by him.
Naminé couldn't help but drop her jaw when she saw all the drawings. "He really likes to draw," she thought to herself. He flipped through some papers to a comic strip of Deidara and Tobi from Naruto Shippuden he had been working on and pulled out several pencils. He hastily sketched out the rest of the comic and then switched pencils and began to fill it in with color.
Naminé, who was reading what bit of the comic he had already written (which appeared to be a Comedy, or perhaps a Parody), and couldn't help but laugh a little. When the child looked up to see Naminé reading his comic, he smiled politely and continued to color and shade.
Naminé opened her sketchbook to an empty page and attempted to start to draw. This was the second part of her ingenious plan to get the boy to notice her. She looked at him and asked politely, "May I borrow a pencil, I seem to have forgotten mine." The boy looked at her, nodded, and handed her one of his black pencils.
He then looked at her and said, "My name's Joey, by the way. Pleasure to meet you." Naminé blushed and answered. "Pleasure's all mine." She said as she shrugged.
Somewhere around 17 minutes later…
"Kairi!" Naminé ran directly to her sister as she yelled.
'What is it, Naminé?"
"Kairi! I got Joey to talk to me!" Kairi stared at her sister, dumbstruck and astounded.
"Are you serious?! That's great, Naminé! I thought he was one of those kids that would never talk to anyone. You've done the impossible!" Kairi and Naminé both seemed very excited. However, there was one person who was not so happy…
Roxas, who was spying on their conversation, overheard this from behind one of the pillars in front of one of the school's classrooms.
"She found another guy?" He asked himself. "How can that be? I… I've loved her for so long… why?" Roxas quickly got up off of his knees and ran down the hallway.
At the end of the school day, the gang of now five (Naminé invited Joey to become part of their group of friends) all headed home. Joey, to Kairi and Sora's surprise (they took classes with him) was smiling and talking to Naminé the whole road home. When they all got to the edge of the island, they all departed separate ways. Sora and Roxas to the east, Kairi and Naminé to the west, and Joey back south, to their respective houses.
When Joey had gotten to his house, he set his roll-on backpack next to the door and plopped his other backpack next to it, after pulling out his green folder. He flipped to a drawing of Naminé he made and stared at it for a bit, smiling. He then looked at the stairs. "Hey, Bro, I'm home!" He yelled upstairs. No answer. "Bro?" He walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter.
'Dear Joey, went to a movie. Be back around six or seven. Help yourself to the fridge, as long as you don't eat my chocolate cookies. –Your Big Bro.'
"Great," Joey said to himself. "I wonder what's on television." He lay down on the couch and flipped through some channels, nothing good on. He quickly went to his room and grabbed a DVD. He went back downstairs and placed the disc inside the DVD player. The screen read: 'Star Trek: episodes 1-80, Disc 1'.
"I bet," he said, "That I'm the only kid in my grade that likes this show."
When Naminé and Kairi had gotten to their house, Kairi immediately sat down and started to watch television, whereas Naminé went directly to her room and started to draw. She then flipped to a drawing of Joey she had in her sketchbook and stared at it, smiling. She then began to draw another picture, of her and Joey.
"What a fiction," she said. "I bet he really just wants to be my friend, the lonely kid. He probably only likes me that far. I wish he could know how I felt about him…"
When Roxas and Sora had gotten to their house, Roxas went directly to his room. Sora sat down on the couch and took a nap, taking advantage of the first day in years without homework.
When Roxas got to his room, he immediately flung himself on the bed. "That bastard," he said. "That no-good bastard. Stealing my girl. I'll teach him a thing or two.
The next day…
Joey was at his locker, attempting to read his own handwriting to find his schedule for the day. The only other people in the hallway at the time were Naminé, Roxas, and a few other children. When Joey shut his locker door, he noticed Roxas standing right next to him.
"Oh, hiya, Roxas," Joey said to him. "What's up?" Roxas just stood there, not speaking. "Roxas? Hello, Earth to Roxas! You there?" Roxas stood there, not moving. "Roxa-" All of a sudden, Roxas made direct eye contact with Joey and punched him right in the middle of the face. "AHHHHHHH!!!"
Naminé and some of the other kids all flung around and gathered around the scene. Naminé saw Joey on the ground grasping his nose, and Roxas' fist covered with blood.
"Joey!" Naminé screamed at the top of her lungs. She immediately ran over to Joey and rested his head on her knees, as he was now unconscious. "Roxas, how could you do this?" Roxas didn't move at all, he just stood there, looking ready to kill Joey, if necessary. "Why? Answer me, dammit!" He still stood there, not answering her questions. "I hate you, Roxas! I hate you!"
Roxas felt his fist drip blood off of it as he walked away. When he was halfway down the hallway, he turned around and looked at Naminé. "I did it," he said. "To protect you, Naminé." He continued walking down the hallway until he was at the door to his next class, and walked inside. Naminé, not fully understanding what Roxas meant, looked back at Joey. She held him to her chest and began to cry.
A short time later…
Joey awoke in a white bed with a television near the foot of his bed and another empty bed next to him, also with a small television. He tried to get up, but he felt a bit too much pain when he tried to and sat back down. A lady with a white Jacket and a hat with a red cross on it came in.
"Hello, Joseph," she said in a calm tone. Joey looked around and then back at the lady.
"Where am I, Ma'am," he said.
"This is the Destiny Island Hospital. Apparently a classmate of yours almost broke your nose and severely damaged a few of your backbones when you hit the ground."
Joey looked around the room. He saw that there were several drawings next to him and little bunches of flowers all in a vase. The Nurse saw that he was looking at the bedside table and looked back at him.
"A little girl with blonde hair visited every day during visiting hours while you were in here during every second of visiting hours. She even begged us to stay a few hours later every day she was here. She left several drawings for you as well as some roses. Feel free to look at them," the lady said as she handed Joey the drawings. Then the nurse left and went down the hall.
Joey forwarded through the drawings and noticed they were all actually of him and Naminé. The last one, however, made Joey feel weightless and perfectly healed. Three words were printed on the page: I LOVE YOU.
Joey felt himself lift out of the bed and walk down the hallway. He looked at the lady at the main desk. She was the same woman that visited his room. The lady looked at him like he was a god of healing, having already been able to walk after such a horrible injury.
"Excuse me, ma'am," he said, politely. "What day is it today?" The nurse looked at him and at the calendar behind the desk.
"Today's Christmas Eve, almost Christmas day by bout an hour or two," She said. Joey looked odd, and ran out the front door. He came to his house and flung the door open.
"ZEXION!" he yelled. His brother came to the front door and wiped his eyes, as he was just sleeping.
"Could y' possibly scream any LOUDER? What is it, bro?" Zexion seemed to have been sleeping for several hours. Joey, knowing him as his brother, knew that this was normal.
"Zexion, did Naminé come by here?"
"Y' mean that little blonde girl who loves drawing? Yeah, she came here every five minutes after the Hospital kicked her out asking if you had come home yet. Why?"
Joey immediately ran out the door to Naminé's house down the beach and rung her doorbell. Naminé opened the door, tissue box in-hand, and looked up to see Joey standing there, smiling. She immediately smiled and started to cry as she flung her arms around him.
"I'm so glad you're safe," she said, comfortingly.
"I got your drawings," Joey said, with a bit of affection in his voice.
"Y-You did?" He nodded. "I'm glad."
"I feel the same." They both heard a bell toll twelve times, signaling that it was Christmas day. "Merry Christmas, Naminé."
"Merry Christmas, Joey." At this, they kissed. As soon as it happened, though, it began to snow. They both broke apart and stared at the sky. After all that had happened over the past couple of days, nothing would surprise them.
*Afterward*
Roxas, who had injured Joey badly, was put in a school for juvenile delinquents and lived there for eighteen years.
Sora, being the brother of a juvie, went through different planets on a quest to hide his shame.
Kairi, being over-excited for her sister, became so overjoyed, she felt like doing anything, and became Destiny Island's first woman president.
Zexion, being a former member of Organization XIII, renounced his evil ways and became the world's youngest McDonalds manager.
And Joey and Naminé, realizing their true affection for each other, began spending all of their time with each other and lived happily ever after.
Sorry if you hated that ending, I just couldn't resist a cute ending.
