"Thanks."
"Sweet!"
"Thank you, Roxas."
Roxas sat down lazily on the couch, licking his quickly-melting ice cream.
"What kind of job did you have to do to get the money for these, Rox?" Hayner wondered from his spot on top of some machinery.
"...I didn't," Roxas replied after a moment.
"I thought we were all broke," Pence pointed out with a slight frown.
Roxas shrugged. "Things change," he said mysteriously.
"Then what happened to you out there?" Hayner persisted.
"Hm..." Roxas thought back. "Seifer challenged me to a battle in the Sandlot but it's too hot for that and I knew you guys were expecting me, so I declined. Then some girls stopped me to ask directions and some other stuff. Then I got ice cream and came back here. Nothing terribly exciting. Why do you ask?"
"Well..." he looked pointedly at Roxas, who had the grace to blush.
"Shut up, Hayner."
-In another part of Twilight Town-
Axel, the red-haired menace of Organization XIII, was not happy. In fact, he was about as far from happy as it was possible for him to get without burning down the town. His cute little blond didn't remember him, the Superior wanted him to kill Roxas and this town - or this simulation of a town - was really hot. Why do you think everyone wore tank tops and Seifer cut the sleeves off of his precious trench coat? And on top of that, Axel had a brand new annoyance to take care of.
"Give me those!" he shouted, flinging a single chakram at the girl he was trying to catch.
"No, they're mine!" yelled the girl, ducking the weapon and sliding around the corner. "Help me, Plushi!" she laughed, running under Tram Common's walkway.
"Axel, look! It's Roxas!" the girl sitting on the edge of the walkway exclaimed, pointing.
"Where!?" Axel skidded to a stop and turned around.
"Sucker! Go Rae!" Plushi cheered, waving around her bright blue iced treat.
Axel growled at being tricked and raced off after the first girl, Rae, again. By gods, he was a member in good standing (as of now) of the world-renowned Organization XIII. He would not be bested by two idiotic teenage girls.
Rae laughed and darted up the stairs, grabbing Plushi's arm. "Let's go! We have what we came for."
"Hand them over and I won't hurt you!" Axel threatened, throwing his chakrams at the annoying females. By the gods, he was going to get them back if it took him the rest of the day!
"Heck no! We stole them fair and square!" Plushi called back, ducking the flying weapons. "Besides, I'm sure you already have some of your own." Both girls laughed and had to speed up as Axel attempted to set them on fire.
"Yeah," Rae added, having the time of her life. "Get your own pair of Roxas's pants!"
