I may edit later. Kingdom Hearts belongs to Disney and Square Enix. Takes place sometime during KH3. Also, Kairi's current look is her Kingdom Hearts III one that we recently saw a few days ago. Enjoy!

The sunset was setting giving the sky an orange reddish glow. Lea was sitting on a palm tree staring at the sunset, while holding his popsicle stick. Roxas was sitting next to him staring too, currently finishing his ice cream. "Life is good," Lea said with a smile. Roxas nodded in agreement. "Yeah," he replied as the sun slowly descended and the smell of the sea filled their nostrils.

Life was good.

Roxas felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around and did a double take when he saw who it was. "AHHH!" He exclaimed as he slipped and fell off the palm tree in surprise.

Lea broke out in laughter, as the person crossed her arms looking rather unamused. She then placed her hands on her hips in a mocking anger. "Gee Roxas I didn't know I was that scary…," she said raising an eyebrow and giving him a weirded out look. She looked at Roxas as he made a face, gawking at her then she could no longer hold in her giggles and bursted out laughing taking a seat on the palm tree. Lea was still laughing then handed her a sea-salt ice cream. "Thank you Axel," she said with a grin taking the ice cream. "It's Lea. Get it memorized." Lea said with a grin looking back at the sunset. "But Lea sounds so uncool! I prefer Axel!" She said. "Well I prefer Lea!" he said turning to her and whistling. "I can see how that made our boy trip over himself. That's a good look for you Xion," Lea said giving her a thumbs up. She got up and did a twirl with a smile. "You really think so? Thanks!" Her black hair was longer than Kairi's, much like Kairi's old hairstyle. She had her hair pulled back a bit so it framed her face. Her outfit was similar to Kairi's current one, except it was red, black, and blue, also had a single pleated skirt school designed. She had a chain attached to her skirt with a silver charm with the letter 'X'. She had boots to complete the look that looked strangely steampunk styled with belts.

Xion looked like she had grown up quite a bit, and has gotten even prettier. Roxas can't help but feel awkward around her despite them being best friends, he wasn't sure what to make of her new attitude but one look at her smile answered his worries. This was still Xion and it was nice to see her out of her organization outfit, though it would take getting used to.

"Hey…Roxas are you going to stay down there?" She said looking down at him. "I'm sure he's happy with the view, right Roxas?" Axel quipped giving the blonde a mischievous smile. "Huh?" Xion asked looking to Axel. "What do you mean Axel?" "Just that he might be looking up your skirt," Axel said looking away as Xion scowled. "Roxas!" She stomped her foot a bit and quickly climbed up on the palm tree. "I wasn't looking up her skirt!" Roxas denied glaring at Axel. "I can't believe you Roxas!" "He's truly horrible." Axel quickly agreed. "I'm still here you know!" Roxas called from sandy beach floor. Roxas coughed. "Not cool guys, thanks a lot. Sand is getting in my eyes and mouth so I can't see anything!" Roxas said wiping his eyes. Xion laughed then extended her arm, pulling Roxas up. "We're sorry. Are you okay Roxas?" Xion asks as she helps him sit down next to her, wiping his eyes. Lea hands him another sea-salt. "Now I am!" Roxas declared. "Are we forgiven?" Xion smiled, her blue eye gleamed as Roxas fought the urge to blush, he quickly turned around scratching his cheek. "E-er y-yeah." Xion's smile widened.

They continued to watch the sunset till it set. They were happy to be together again.

"Well I'm off." Axel said stretching. "Me too. Kairi is going to teach me how to make a raft," Xion said walking ahead. "A raft? Cool!" Roxas said hopping off. "Yeah. After I learn, maybe we could make one together!" Xion smiled. "See you later, Roxas, Axel!"

"It's Lea!" Axel shouted as laughter was heard in the distance. "Sheesh." Roxas smiled. "I'm glad Xion's back," Roxas said. Axel smiled. "Me too. Though now that she's back, it's like dealing with two Kairis at once. And they team up on me too," Lea complained scratching his spikey hair. "Aw come on, you should be happy they get along. Especially against you. It's like having two little sisters," Roxas laughed. Axel snorted. "Two annoying little sisters. You're lucky you're 'little sister' is quiet." "Who? Namine?" Roxas asked curiously. "Yeah." Roxas scratched his cheek. "She's not as quiet as you think. She's actually pretty scary when she's mad or she wants something. It's like she can read minds," Roxas shivered. Lea gave him a deadpanned look. "Probably cuz she can."

Silence filled the air.

Roxas started walking back. "We should get going."

"Wait!"

Roxas whirled around a caught a flying object in his hands. "What's this? A paupu fruit? What am I going to do with this?" "You wanted one right?" Axel smirked. Roxas got a strange sense of déjà vu. "What do you mean? Isn't this Sora and Kairi's thing?"
"If two people share them, their destinies become intertwined. They will remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." Lea said walking past Roxas smirking. "Come on I know you want to try it."

"Axel!"

Lea laughed as Roxas tried to catch up.

Roxas looked at the fruit and tossed it before chasing down Lea.

Lea got away. Roxas huffed catching his breath, it was dark, he decided it was time to hit the hay. As he gave up on catching Lea and headed back to find somewhere to stay. (He usually stayed with Sora but it was late so he couldn't go back to the mainland) He slumped down on the beach and listened to the waves. He heard noise after awhile.

"Someone is still on the island…?" Roxas asked aloud and got to his feet to follow the sound. In the dark, he found a black haired girl with a lantern still working on her raft. He paused and a grin lit his face. "Xion…you're still here," Roxas said stepping forward before he could stop himself. She froze and looked up at Roxas surprised. "Roxas!" Xion grinned dropping the raft equipment and stepping closer to him. She pulled her hair out of her face and gave him a wide smile. "Hey, what are you still doing here?" Xion asked. "I could ask you the same thing." Roxas said with a smile as he looked over to her raft. "Is Kairi still here?" Xion shook her head. "No. She left awhile ago. I thought I might make it back in time. Turns out I was wrong," she sighed going to retrieve the lantern. Roxas looked at her raft and offered a smile. "It's turning out really good."

"Thanks," Xion said sitting down on the beach and patting the space next to her. "Sit." Roxas scratched his cheek. "Actually, do you wanna go for a walk?"

Xion blinked then stood up and nodded. "Sure, if that's what you want."

"Any idea where we could stay?" Roxas asked as they continued to walk on the beach. Xion hummed. "Hmm…I don't know. We could try and see if no one is staying on the shacks…if no then maybe a cave?"

Xion paused. "What's wrong?" Roxas asked as she picked up something from the ground. It was star-shaped. "A paupu fruit…," Xion said as Roxas slapped his head. "I thought it fell into the ocean or something!" Roxas groaned. "Is this yours?" Xion asked handing him the star-shaped fruit. "No-Yes…Lea gave it to me…," Roxas sighed shaking his head and handing it back to her. "You can have it."

Xion looked at the star silently before looking back at Roxas. "What is it?" he asked noticing her stare. Xion looked to the floor and mumbled something quietly. "What? Sorry I couldn't hear you." She took a deep breath and smiled. "It's nothing. I was just thinking that you're taller than me," Xion said. "We used to be the same height." Roxas blinked. "I'm taller?" Xion nodded and walked ahead slightly faster. "Xion wait up!"

Xion didn't talk for awhile after that and Roxas was getting slightly uncomfortable. "Xion what's wrong? Was it something I said? You've been quiet," Roxas said worriedly.

Xion sighed. "They say if you share this fruit with someone your destinies will be intertwined, right? You'll remain a part of each other's live no matter what." Xion said looking to the sea, with the fruit in her hand. Roxas nodded, not sure where she was going with this. "In that case, I want to remain a part of you and Axel's lives forever," she says looking at the fruit. Roxas looked at her as she looked at the fruit. "Wanna share it?" Roxas smiled. Xion blushed slightly, then sighed. "But Axel isn't here."

"We'll give him his share later," Roxas said taking the fruit from her hands and cutting it in half. "But…," Xion hesitated. "There is a shop on the mainland that sells paupu fruit keychains. We can buy three later, then we'd be sharing." "I know," she said getting something from her pocket that was revealed to be three keychains, with tiny paupu charms. "But will it count?" "It worked for Sora and Kairi," Roxas snorted, then realized what he was implying. "Er…I didn't mean it like that," Roxas stuttered. Xion looked stunned then suddenly laughed. "It's okay Roxas," Xion smiled and took the other half of the fruit from Roxas's hand and handed him a keychain. "Thanks Xion." Roxas grinned. "I'll give Lea…I mean Axel his tomorrow," Xion said wearing hers with a chain. She looked at her fruit and made a face. "It doesn't look very tasty…I think I like the keychains better, they are cute…," Xion commented uneasily. "You don't think we'll get poisoned right?" Roxas gulped uneasily staring at the yellow fruit. Roxas sighed and tossed it in the ocean. "Maybe it isn't a good idea." Xion nodded in agreement. "Right," she said looking at her fruit as if it were a disgusting creature, though he couldn't see that well in the moonlight Xion's face had turned slightly green. He laughed at her facial expression as she too tossed it in the ocean. "I think we should stick to sea-salt ice cream. Maybe I'll get us ice-cream charms next time." Xion said. "So yall didn't share the fruit?" A voice said. They whirled around to find Axel and Kairi. "Axel!" they both exclaimed in surprise. Kairi laughed. "So yall didn't share the fruit after all…darn," Kairi said then noticed Xion's necklace. "I don't think that counts…," Kairi said. "Says the person who drew pictures on a wall," Roxas noted. Kairi scowled. "Say that again Roxas!" She said smacking his head. Lea laughed. "I can't believe you guys believe that silly story. Roxas, I understand, but Xion and Kairi too?"

Roxas was embarrassed. "H-hey…"

Xion didn't take him too seriously. "Hey!" Xion playfully.

Kairi crossed her arms and glared. "What did you say Lea?" She activated her keyblade. "What was a silly story?" Lea scratched his head. "It was an amazing story and is completely true despite the lack of evidence!" Lea said quickly before Kairi hit him. Kairi's key disappeared. "That's what I thought." "Um…I'm sorry Kairi…I didn't get one for you." Xion said quietly. Kairi turned around and waved her off. "She has the one SORA gave her," Roxas said teasingly as Kairi blushed a bit as Roxas's teasing tone. "Hey!" She said smacking his head again before facing Xion. "It's fine. Don't worry about it Xion," Kairi said looking over Xion curiously as she took something out of her pocket. "I brought you some Theodosia shells. Since you like them." Xion said handing some to her. "You still collect those?" Roxas asked. Xion nodded. Roxas took something out of his pocket, a pink shell. Xion gasped. "That's…the one I gave you."

She took out her blue one. "Oh great everyone gets presents except me." Lea sighed. Xion giggled. "She has something for you too Axel," Roxas laughed. "Still don't believe in silly stories?" Xion asked handing him a charm, as he grinned. "No. But for this one I might make an exception," he said taking the charm and thanking her. She handed him another shell. "Now we all have one!" Xion said. "Come on guys. Let's watch the stars."

Sora crossed his arms, and Riku raised an eyebrow at the four fallen bodies on the beach. Lea was spread across the beach looking quite relaxed, Xion laid peacefully in Roxas's arms, still in her new outfit. One of which hit Lea's face repeatedly in his sleep and Kairi was curled peacefully next to him. "Should we wake them?" Sora asked noticing a crab moving near Kairi's face. Riku grinned shaking his head. "Nah they're good."
