"Xion! There's more heartless over here!"

I turned toward Roxas and struck a heartless that was near him. Saïx as sent the two of us on a mission to a place called 'Traverse Town.' The cool weather was nice, but there was such an abundance of heartless!

"Look out!" I turned around as Roxas destroyed a shadow that had been behind me.

Finally, the night could be calm. Roxas dismissed his keyblade, as I did, next, and walked toward me.

"So...should we RTC?" Roxas asked.

"I dunno..." I looked around. Maybe he was thinking the same thing that I was. "We could stay for a bit, maybe...we have plenty of time. And it's such a nice town..."

"Okay," Roxas nodded and smiled. "Anywhere you want to go? There's even a clocktower, here. But no sea-salt ice cream..."

I giggled a bit. "No, I think that's Twilight Town's specialty," I smiled. The sea-salt ice cream tradition was one we'd never drop. "Maybe we could just walk around, a bit?"

"All right," Roxas gave a smile, too. The two of us walked over toward First District. It seemed to have been the district with the least amount of heartless – before we beat them, anyway.

I guess everyone went home to sleep, or something. The area was void of people, yet rather than seeming lonely, it felt peaceful.

"The stars are so pretty..." I noticed. I walked up the stairs toward the accessory shop, as if I could get closer.

Roxas stepped up beside me. "Axel said that the worlds are up there, too," Roxas explained. "Among the stars..."

Both of us got tired of sitting , so we sat on the edge of the railing. We were mostly quiet, just watching the stars like we watched the sunset.

"I wonder where Twilight Town is..." Roxas broke the silence after a while.

I nodded. "So many worlds out there..."

Roxas suddenly jumped down off the railing and turned around to face me. "We should probably RTC, now," he said. "Axel might be waiting."

"Okay," I jumped down, like Roxas did... but not as well as him. I only tripped when landing – it was all so sudden. When Roxas tried to catch me...we both ended up falling. And I landed on top of him...

"A-are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm sure he is," I heard the voice behind me and turned – it was Axel!

"Axel..." I heard Roxas say as I scrambled to put some distance between the two of us. My face suddenly felt hot... I wasn't sure what it meant. It happened whenever Roxas or Axel complimented me, or I got in trouble from Saïx...

"Let's get back to Twilight Town," Axel was grinning. "You've been gone for a long time, so I came to bring you back. But I think there's enough time for ice cream...unless you'd rather continue your date, of course."

"Date?" Roxas asked. I wasn't sure what it meant, either...but my face grew even hotter.

"Never mind," Axel chuckled. "Let's just get back..." He glanced up at the sky. "We can come here and stargaze some other time, if you want."

Roxas and I both nodded and stood up. Axel opened up a portal for us to go through.

Traverse Town... I was looking forward to going back, again.
