A/N- As a last note: ROXAS IS NOT HERE. ACTUALLY THIS IS THE ONLY MENTION OF HIM! THIS IS ONLY TWILIGHT TOWN PEOPLE!


Riding on top of the trolley was almost as good as going to the beach for Hayner. With Pence gone away with his family and Olette having to watch her younger cousins the groups blonde was enjoying the breeze, legs dangling off the back of the locomotive. At midday there were very few people around, most at work, so it was much quieter. Every few minutes he would lay himself flat to avoid the low bridges that would love to knock him off. Just at that moment the boy threw himself to the roof of the trolley and quickly closed his eyes (it made him a bit ill to see all that rock barely past his nose) to avoid the overpass. Through his eyelids, everything went darker as the stone blotted out the sun.

Halfway under the bridge he heard a light thump from behind as something hit the trolley's top. Curious, but unable to do anything until free, Hayner mentally willed the trolley to move faster. When the bridge had finally passed he sat up and turned around. Standing there smirking with his coat getting buffeted to billow around his slim form was Seifer.

Scrambling to his feet Hayner crouched slightly bracing himself against the wind that suddenly seemed stronger.

"What do you want?" he ground out.

"A free ride with some piece and quiet, so get lost." Seifer replied haughtily.

"Hell no, I was here first! You get lost!"

"Don't make me have to throw your ass off."

"I'd like to see you try!"

They stood there staring each other down until, with a grin, Seifer advanced.

"Well, you better get re-"

Before he could finish his sentence his head hit the bridge that they had finally made their way back to. Even from where he stood, Hayner could hear the sickening smack of skull against stone. Stunned slightly, the scarred boy stumbled forward by the force of the impact to collapse on Hayner. Judging by the limpness of his body, the shorter boy could tell that Seifer was unconscious. With the sudden weight and the want to avoid the same fate, he back-peddled and fell off the back of the trolley.

For one gut-wrenching moment there was nothing but air and then...darkness.
