My second fic!!! Don't worry, it's longer....

It was a lovely evening. The sky was painted in streaks of orange, pink and red . The sun was sinking ever so slowly below the horizon, as if it wanted to stay and see two 10 year old boys down there in the park, playing and laughing happily. A porcupine redhead was joking around with a spiky, sunshine-haired blonde.

"Hey Axel, have you heard about the 1000 origami cranes legend?" The blonde queried, his sapphire eyes flashing with excitement.

"Umm…. Nope. Sorry, Roxas." The redhead answered back with a sheepish grin.

The blonde slapped his forehead in exasperation. "God, you're sooo pathetic. My grandma told me that if you make a thousand of those paper birds, your wish will be granted!"

The redhead looked deep in thought for a second, and then his face lit up. "I bet I should start making them now! Probably if I have a wish later I could put them to good use!"

"I bet you wouldn't even last making 50 of them!"

"Hey, I still have determination okay?" The redhead said, pretending to sulk.

"Let's see if you still have determination next week! I challenge you to make that 1000 cranes, and show me when you're done!"

"Challenge accepted!"

With that, the boys parted ways. Little did they know what awaited them…

----3 days later----

Axel was at home when the phone rang. His mother picked it up. As the conversation continues, his mother's face turned as white as a sheet of plain paper.

"Yes, thank you very much. Good afternoon, miss."

With those words, Axel's mom shut the phone.

"Axel… Come here, darling."

"Mom, don't call me that!"

Usually his mother would tease him further when Axel said that, but today she didn't seem to care. She only sighed deeply, and talked to Axel in a very low, grave voice.

"Axel, Roxas…. A drunken driver hit him…. The driver died on the spot…"

"What? You can't be serious! What about Roxas??"

"Roxas... He didn't die on impact."

"Thank God…"

"But when the car hit him, his head hit a nearby lamp post… And he was knocked out cold. Doctors scanned his head, and found out that his brain sustained major hemorrhage…. In short, he is now in a coma, and he may not make it…"

Upon hearing those words, Axel felt his legs go limp. His legs gave way, and he wept soundlessly by the phone.

"No way… No way could this happen…"

His mother decided to let her son be, because she knew it'd be useless to say anything to him at this point.

But suddenly he stopped crying. He stared at his mother, and talked to her in a flat tone.

"Mom, drive me to the nearest bookstore. We have lots of origami papers to buy."

And so Axel's crane making marathon begins.

Well, how do you like it? I still have a chapter coming... For now, enjoy! And... REVIEWS PLEASE!!! w
