It seems to be another brisk fall in Radiant Garden. The morning air was cool, and the crisp leaves of fall crunched beneath the feet of Roxas and Sora. At this time, Roxas and Sora would usually find themselves making their way to school, but today was different. It was the boy's first fall after graduating collage, and they were on their way for a big reunion at Yuffie and Aerith's house.
"Sora?" Roxas asks. "You seem to be out of it." Sora looks up at him; a frown on his face, within seconds Sora forces it to a smile, and laughs.
"It's just too early!" Sora defends himself.
"Oh." Roxas frowns, sensing Sora's depression. Sora looks up to the sky, knowing that what he had pushed to Roxas was a lie. Things have changed a lot since Xemnas' death. Of course, everything seemed happy when they had returned to Destiny Island, but sadness came later. Kairi finished off her schooling at an academy at Destiny Island, and took off for a collage in Twilight Town. Sora called Kairi as much as possible, but eventually the both separated, and ended up breaking up. Riku decided to skip collage, which made him happy for a while, but then soon decided it was best to get out and see the world through a clear mind. Sora eventually finished his schooling, which he had to re-start at 5th grade, about the time he had left, and set out for collage at Twilight Town with high hopes that Kairi was still in Twilight Town. However, after searching the whole town, it was clear that after Kairi finished collage, she had left for a new town. Roxas, Olette, and Haner where the only ones who hadn't left their towns at all. The trio had what Sora, Kairi, and Riku didn't have an immortal, everlasting friendship. And for that, Sora had been jealous.
"It's about Kairi" Roxas frowned "I know it"
"Na-no!" Sora covered. Roxas narrowed his eyes, and stopped Sora before him.
"You still love her!" Roxas accuses, and then continues to tell him what he feels. "You're worried because it's been a few years since you've broken up, and she'll be at the party tonight!" Sora pauses. Roxas was right, but he wasn't sure he should admit it. Ya know guy stuff. With much thinking Sora stuttered then agreed with himself to tell him.
"Y-Y-yeah your right" Sora frowns; he runs a hand through his light brown hair. "I loved her ever since we were children, but without a doubt she's moved on.
"Dude, promise me you can handle it" Roxas begs.
"What man?" Sora asks obviously confused.
"PROMISE me you can handle IT" Roxas repeats.
"Ok whatever man you are confusing me." Sora spouts angrily.
"Kairi's got a new boyfriend" Roxas spits out. It was if Sora's word was slowly coming to an end. The ground beneath his feet slowly crumbled as he fell to the ground. His vision became blurry with tears, his head began to ache.
"Dude! You said you could handle it!" Roxas jokes to himself, before kneeling down next to him. Through his tears Sora could see the outline of Roxas.
Sora had met Roxas when he came to Twilight town. He was a never ending friend to Sora since the moment he came to collage. Roxas had helped Sora through everything and it was weird Roxas had kept a secret of that magnitude to himself.
"How long?" Sora asked.
"Uhh…. 3 years" Roxas confessed shyly.
"What! Dude what's wrong with you?" Sora screamed.
"I didn't want you to know." Roxas paused carefully choosing his words. "Because I know you would feel this way." Sora let his head fall. He had lost his trust in his best friend. He didn't know what to say. Roxas sensed Sora's pain, and knowing this he decided to lighten the mood.
"Oh… btw I'm doing your mum" Roxas smiled, bursting out in Ray William Johnson's 'doin' your mom.' Sora let out a small smile, and in minutes it turned to laughter as he sung along with Roxas.
"Dude lets go" Sora smiles, helping himself and Roxas up.
"You sure?" Roxas asks. "You can always skip!"
"What! You wouldn't skip with me?" Sora asked jokingly.
"Uh hells no!" Roxas smiled. "Um hot witch chick remember?" Roxas shoved Sora playfully.
"Right I forgot!" Sora grins evilly. "Roxas and Kairi sittin' in a tree!"
"Dude shut up!" Roxas smiles, making his way to the door. Loud, obnoxious music played from inside. The type of music you may hear at clubs or raves. Before Roxas even touched the doorknob Yuffie and Aerith were at the door, waiting to greet Roxas and Sora.
"Roxas! Sora! I'm so glad y'all could make it!" Yuffie bursts hugging Sora and Roxas, to the point of suffocation.
"Come in" Aerith calmly smiles. Yuffie and Aerith were like sisters. Yin and yang sisters that is, completely opposite but best of friends. Yuffie had short black hair, and purple eyes. She was always excited about something, with a perky attitude. Aerith was different however. Long brown hair, of course not completely the opposite, but it was MUCH longer than Yuffie's in length. Her blue eyes, again not completely opposite, read of calm feelings and happiness. Yuffie dated the tough guy, and Aerith dated the quiet guy. Leon and Cloud appeared around the corner, each guy grabbing their girls.
"Hello Sora, Roxas" Cloud smiled kissing Aerith on the cheek. Yes, this meant Leon was with Yuffie.
"Hey guys" Leon smiled, grabbing Yuffie in a passionate kiss. Yes, Leon was always grumpy, but when he was around Yuffie he always seemed to change. Roxas and Sora both smiled and walked in. In a matter of minutes Roxas was gone, leaving Sora in the dust for the beautiful witch girl he loved so much. Sora began to wonder through the house. It was odd to see Olette, Hayner, and Pence all grown up. Olette was still beautiful. Sora had always found her attractive, in a weird way of course. He had always figured it had been because of Roxas being his double. She had grown her long brown hair out, and it was twisted in a brown braid. She wore an orange knee length sundress, the same colour she always wore, and the same style too. Orange however was her colour. Sora started to approach the pretty woman when a gust of wind hit his face. He had spotted HER. Short pink hair and a short pink mini-dress. Her blue eyes fixated on the man that held her as they slow-danced. She seemed to be glowing, and a non-existent wind blew her hair. Sora walked closer, trying to get a good view of the guy she was with.
Is that…
