Barbie-Cute

To think that life would be any worse, for a normal guy like Roxas, but no one said that you couldn't say "Good things sometimes come out of bad things".

"Slam!" the locker that was closed could be heard from down the hallway. A blond boy sighed as students began to look at him, and continued to walk away.

"Hey Roxas!" a brunette boy suddenly shouted running after him. He didn't turn around, but he knew it would be his cousin Sora. As soon as Sora caught up with him, walking beside him, he looked at his bored expression. "By the way, how did that date go yesterday?" he wanted to know.

Another sigh was heard from him again as they sat down on the benches outside. He looked at his cousin "I don't even want to talk about it".

"Was it that bad?" he wondered, as he began to think what could have happened. Roxas shook his head "I guess I can explain it, but it's a pretty long story".

Flashback

"Roxas! Wait up! Why are you running?!" His friends yelled to get his attention as they

suddenly noticed him passing by. He stopped on his tracks and explained "I'm in a hurry, sorry can't explain! See ya!" and ran off again.

Sora laughed "He's going to be late for his date" he answered as his friends gave him a surprised look. "Date?".

Roxas ran until he got to the meeting spot. "I guess I have to apologize for being late" he thought as he saw a girl standing next to the car with her back facing him. He walked up to her also announcing "I'm sorry I'm late Selphie, I ran as fast as I could" he began and looked at his hand "I also brought you flowers" and when he noticed she didn't turn around, he walked up to face her. "Are you mad at me?" he asked and realized that the "girl" he was talking to wasn't even real! It was a fake person!

Hearing giggles from behind the wall, he glanced to see three girls laughing at him. One of the girls had a camera and took pictures of his reaction, and Selphie who laughed again looked at him "Sorry Roxas, it's too funny! As if I would go on a date with you!" she pointed.

Another girl also added "Don't you mean as if "any" girl would want to go with you!".

Roxas stared at them speechless, not knowing what else to say but to keep quiet. They girls continued to laugh and drove away in the car leaving him and the fake girl behind.

At that very moment, it began to rain. He looked up at the skies "Could this get any worse?" he thought.

Sora listened to the story intently. "There's a quote that says that good things come out of bad situations".

Roxas nodded "I know, that's when the weirdest thing happened".

His cousin gave him a weird look "What do you mean?"

Immediately, lightning struck the "figure" behind him. Turning around to see what happened, he became even more surprised. The girl that was a fake person, suddenly turned into a real person! The girl opened her eyes and smiled. "What are you?" he asked quickly

She gave him a look, and repeated the same line "What are you?"

He became confused "I'm Roxas, I'm a human being, I think".

She grinned "I'm Roxas, I'm a human being!"

He put a hand on his head "This really isn't working out well" he muttered. Looking at the girl he pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. "This really is real" he thought.

"So what did you do?" Sora asked

He paused "I took her to my house".

After managing to sneak inside the house without waking anyone up, they quickly ran into his room. He sighed "Okay. So let me get this straight. I'm human. You're a robot-like girl." he pointed as she nodded. "Do you even have a name?" he asked.

She began to glance around the room also. Seeing a name "Namine" she smiled "Namine".

"Uh….okay, I'll call you Namine then" he replied

She nodded and grinned again. Remembering that he was still dripping wet from the rain

outside, he began to take his coat off when he realized that she was about to do the same thing! He quickly stopped her. "That was close" he thought

He sat down on his bed. "Look, I'm a guy, and you're a girl" he pointed at himself and Namine.

She gave him a confused look. "Guy? Girl?" she repeated.

He pointed at his friend Olette in the photo. "Like this, this is a girl Olette".

She nodded again and pointed at the photos and posters around his room. "Olette" she pointed at a celebrity.

He shook his head "No, no this is Hikaru Utada".

"Hikaru Utada? Not Olette?" she asked.

"This is going to be a long night" he thought smacking himself in the head.

End of Flashback

"So, where is this Namine now?" Sora asked nudging Roxas "You didn't leave her behind did you?"

"No, no I didn't! I-" he began and was suddenly hugged by a girl who just ran up to him. "Roxas!" she grinned.

"Um, hi" he answered and looked at Sora who was grinning at the sight. Namine sat down next to the two, as Roxas introduced them. Sora, this is Namine, Namine this is Sora. They both smiled at each other as Sora took his hand out "I'm Sora".

Namine at first paused for a moment and smiled "I'm Sora!" she said happily, making the guys give her weird looks. Roxas leaned over to Sora and said "I forgot to tell you, she learns by listening to everything."

"So that must explain why she keeps repeating whatever everyone else says" Sora replied back.
