"Hey there! How's it goin', babe?"

"Excuse me?" Aqua raised an eyebrow at the red-headed person who had addressed her in such a manner. "Who are you?"

"The name's Axel!" With his one hand holding him up against the nearby wall, the Nobody used his other one to point at the side of his head. Got it memorised?"

The young Keyblade Master frowned in response to the cocky grin Axel was giving her. She had the urge to let him know what she thought of him, but silently composed herself to stay polite.

"And just what might a fella like you be doing hanging around here, Axel?" she questioned

"Why, I'm just admiring the sight of a beautiful lady like yourself who just wandered into my life."

Aqua glared, not the slightest bit impressed. She turned to walk away and distance herself from him – only to be blocked as he quickly moved in front of her to stop her.

"Where ya goin', Toots?" he asked. "What d'ya say you and me go for a Sea Salt Ice Cream?"

"I'm sorry," Aqua apologised, "but I really have to go meet up with my friends, Terra and Ventus."

"But, baby, your friends can last a day without you! I can't live without you for another second!" Axel clutched his chest and fell to his knees. "You'd set my heart on fire – if I only had one!"

Aqua's sea blue eyes narrowed as she gazed down at the Nobody, not the least bit amused at his efforts to woo her.

"Speaking of fire, I thought I was really hot!" Lifting his gaze up back to Aqua, Axel snapped his fingers to summon some flamesin his hand to show off to the girl. "But, man, you make my powers feel pretty cold!"

Still not seeing any good qualities in the fiery redhead, Aqua turned to get herself away from him – but was prevented from taking a step as he blocked her path again.

"So what d'ya say, Aqua?" Axel proposed, pulling a flower out of his pocket to hold out to her. "Will you be the queen of blue to my king of red?"

Unable to stand him for another second, Aqua whipped out her Keyblade. She pointed it straight at Axel and summoned a magic spell in all her anger – before blasting the Nobody as far away from her.

A loud cry escaped Axel as he slid across the floor – before falling off the ledge they happened to be standing on. Aqua watched as he plummeted all the way down from the clock tower - until he finally hit the ground hard with a thunderous crash.

For a moment, Axel just laid where he had landed. Not a single person in Twilight Town came running to him to check he was alright. It was only when a figure in a dark cloak appeared and went over to where he was lying face-down … only to take the flower he had offered to Aqua out of his hand.

"I'll take this back to my garden which you stole it from, thank you, Axel."

Barely noticing as Marluxia swiped the flower away from him before disappearing, Axel groaned and lifted his head up. He was dazed and in pain from his fall – but nowhere near as much as how delirious he was, smiling over who had caused it.

"Oh man! I thought I had a fiery nature! Blueheads like Aqua sure put us redheads to shame! I'll win her heart yet! She's just playing to get! But now that she's met me in all my irresistible nature, she's forever got me memorised!"


The end.
