OK! Here's chappy #2! Read it, I think there's going to be a twist, and it's going to be (hopefully), less morose than the last chappy. Soooo, yaaay to that! (And for all you dead beats that don't have a decent education, here's a bunch of synonyms that mean the same thing.)

Morose: (more-oh-s) (Adj.): gloomy, dark, moody, melancholic, gruesome, sinister, macabre, perverse, sad, negative, miserable, glum, depressed, down, low, pessimistic, down in the dumps, blue, sullen, dismal, morbid

For a more detailed definition LOOK IT UP YOURSELF! Anyway. Read, enjoy, and don't hurt yourself trying to figure out what I mean, if you don't understand what a word is, review, state the word and ask what it means, and I will put the definition of it on one of these whosamawhatsits that I'm talking to you in now. Or maybe even the end note of the story, now that's all cleared up, ON TO THE STORY!

Enter Axle: The blackout

Sora kept on running despite the pains in his chest. Clutching onto the stolen melon, he ran head first into a boy with spiky red hair, the boy despite being flustered looked a couple of years older than he actually was.

Sora almost dropped the melon he was carrying. He spluttered, "Hey Axle, give me a hand?"

The red headed boy took hold of the melon and started running with Sora. "So how's Kairi doing lately?" he slowly said with a deep husky voice.

"She's doing a little better. But to be on the safe side I got her the melon." Sora gasped out. Running was hard for him, despite being on the track team at school the previous year.

The red head said in a sarcastic voice, "You know you really should just pay for the melon instead of stealing it. It would make this a whole lot easier. For you and for me."

The blond fake gasped, "Well when you can figure out a way for me to get a job at my age, then I will start to pay for 'em." He said in a laughing tone of voice.

They looked back to see if anyone was still chasing them. Nobody there. They slowed down to a brisk walk. Axle started to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, nothing. I just thought about how funny you've been getting lately."

"Uh huh. Riiiiiiiight." Sora retorted.

"Well it's true."

"Come on let's get this melon to Kairi, she's been waiting for me."

"Yeah sure whatever."

"Hey don't be that way about Kairi in front of me, I whoop your ass!"

They both laughed.

"Yeah like that would ever happen!"

"HEY!"

Axle started to run away from Sora. "If you wanna kick my ass then you gotta' catch me first!" he yelled back at Sora.

"Get your but back here right this instant young man!" Sora yelled in his best mom like voice.

Axle laughed and sprinted a little farther. He yelled back at Sora "You're not my mother!"

They ran a little farther and then Axle started slowing down. "Finally! God you can run. You should go out for the Cross Country team or something." Sora said when he finally caught up with the red head.

"Come on where almost there." Was Axles only reply.

They walked a little farther down the road until they found a bridge. They walked up to the edge of the bridge and they went around the railing and under the bridge. They climbed down the steep rocky slope until they reached the bottom where a small clear cold stream passed them. They knelt down and got a drink of the stream water.

"That's refreshing after feeling like your throat is going to be dried up and withered." Said Sora.

"Now that sounded retarded." Axle said through gulps of water.

Sora scoffed. "Hurtful!"

"Well too bad, so sad." Said Axle Getting up he started climbing back up the slope lugging the melon behind him carefully trying to keep it from banging against the rocks.

"You're going the wrong direction." Sora said.

"I am?" Axle gave him a questioning look.

"Yeah, we relocated camp a couple of days ago. The other camp was too public for Kairi. She was steadily declining in health and so we shipped camp here." Sora stated.

"Well lead the way to the new camp nobody." Axle said.

"And once again I say, Hurtful!"

Axle just laughed. By the time they stopped talking he was back by the stream melon in tow. Sora started walking downstream. They went through a thick bunch of trees and they emerged into a clearing with a fire pit in the middle and a makeshift tent about ten feet away. He saw a bucket of water and a small open chest with Sora and Kairi's few belongings in it. He saw a log by the fire and on the log sat a frail looking Kairi. He went through his pockets and found his pocket knife. He flipped it open and cut a small piece of melon for Kairi. He walked over and gave her the slice of melon.

"Here you go Kairi, eat up. I want you strong and healthy again." He said softly.

Kairi took the slice of melon and smiled a small sincere smile. "Thanks" she whispered.

Sora walked over and sat down beside Kairi. "Are you sure you don't want me to get a doctor?"

Kairi looked up from her melon and said in a surprisingly stern tone, "You already know we don't have much money and I don't want any help from those people. You know how scary they are. You yourself was afraid to go to the nurses office when you threw up just because you where afraid of the nurse."

Sora looked at her with a concerned look in his eyes. "One, you know I was only in third grade when that happened and two, I don't care what you think we are getting a doctor. I've already lost mom and dad I don't want to lose you too." Feeling that he was about to cry he started wiping at his eyes.

Axle butted in, "Were getting a doctor for you and I know just the one. He's my family doctor, costs not a cent to you, or me for that matter. But he's nice, not scary at all, and will help you out in a heartbeat."

Sora's eyesight started to get hazy. His eyelids started to droop and he blacked out.
