Say It Isn't So!
Chapter 3: Surprise!
---
Roxas walked home happily while dragging Sora along with him. He had eaten Sora's bowl of ice cream and a chocolate ice cream cone, compliments of, you guessed it, Sora. Roxas hadn't used a penny and was as happy as a cat with a ball of yarn.
Sora trudged after Roxas, letting his feet drag themselves along the sidewalk. "The things I do for my brother," Sora mumbled to himself. He shook his head as he stared at his now empty wallet. All that was left was a stick of gum and what is that? A dead fly? Yep... it's definitely dead. Sora didn't even want to know how that got in there. "You owe me Roxas!" Sora complained. "You ate my ice cream and you made me buy you that ice cream cone!"
"I didn't make you," Roxas stated. "I simply asked politely." He grinned at Sora, who had stopped in his tracks to stare at Roxas open-mouthed.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Sora exclaimed.
"So technically, you didn't have to, and I didn't make you." Roxas grinned.
Sora narrowed his eyes at Roxas. "I hate you." Sora said, his words laced with venom. "I hate you... so much."
"I love you too!" Roxas then lunged at Sora and hugged him tightly. He wouldn't let go of Sora and didn't even bother to loosen his grip on his brother's body. In result, the two had fallen to the ground and still struggling against each other. "I won't let go! Never!!" Roxas grinned while Sora refused to go calmly.
"Hi Sora. Hi Roxas! ...Am I interrupting something?"
The two looked up to see Axel giving them a questioning look. They laughed nervously and got up. Sora grinned at Axel and turned to Roxas. Roxas, on the other hand, was already frowning and looking in the other direction. He crossed his arms and his face was in a small pout. His attention was fixated on a dog sniffing another dog's butt. Roxas couldn't help but question why they even did that.
'Seriously, it's not like it's going to smell any different,' Roxas thought. 'Wait a minute... oh my God... they're humping!!! Get a room, a bush, a tree- anything! Hell, I don't care if you get a toy in the shape of a whale!' He paused and rethought what he just said. 'Ewwwww...' Roxas grimaced and faced Axel since it was better than watching the sight across the street.
"What do you want?" Roxas asked, not caring whether or not Sora and Axel were having a conversation.
"He speaks!" Axel laughed. "Well, actually, I was just about to check out my new house when I saw you guys here."
"You're moving?" Sora asked.
"Yep, to that house right over there!" Axel pointed to the other side of the street.
Roxas's eye twitched. That was the house where he saw the dogs on the lawn. The dogs were still there too, except there was something big and blue between them. Roxas squinted to get a better look. His eyes widened in shock.
'Oh my God... I wasn't serious about the whole whale-thing!! I wasn't!!' Roxas thought in disgust.
"So are those your dogs?" Roxas asked as he turned his gaze to Axel once again.
"Well, one of them is," Axel replied as he watched.
'Just to be perfectly honest, I can see a resemblance,' Roxas thought as he looked from the dogs to Axel and back again. One dog had apparently fallen asleep. The other one had dragged the whale to the house to the left and met up with a fluffy poodle. Soon enough, they were at it. 'A really big resemblance...-Why are there dogs having sex in the middle of the day? And more importantly, why are we watching them?' Roxas noticed that the other two had been watching the dog as well.
"That dog..." Axel began. "Is getting more action than I am..."
"Is that all you care about?" Roxas asked in disgust.
"Well, sorry, but I can't help it if I'm attracted to a cute blonde." Axel responded calmly.
"So you have a thing for blondes?" Roxas asked, probably forgetting that he himself was a blonde. "You're just like all the guys I know. Blondes are dumb and easy, right?"
"Not mine," Axel grinned as he looked down at Roxas.
"Hell-o! They're not property!"
"No, but I do know I want it."
"You sicken me."
"You drive me crazy."
Roxas 'hmph'ed and stormed off into his house, which was in fact right next to him. He slammed the door shut knowing full well that no one was home to give him some hour long lecture about not slamming the door.
"You enjoyed that, didn't you?" Sora asked.
"Mmhm," Axel nodded. "Fiesty. Just the way I like 'em." He grinned as he started to cross the street. "Bye, Sora." Axel glanced at his dog on his neighbor's lawn and shook his head before heading inside the house.
Sora went inside soon after, checking to see if the door was still in tact. After inspecting it for a while, he went into the kitchen. "I wonder if it's working yet..." he whispered. Sora pulled out a jar of cookies from the oven and ate some. He looked down at the jar and smiled to himself. "I knew it," Sora said in triumph. He leaned against the table and popped another cookie into his mouth. "Roxas would never have looked for the cookies in there."
"In where?"
Sora paused as he looked over his shoulder. He hesitated before darting out of the kitchen, cookie in mouth and jar on head. How'd that get there anyway?

Roxas fiddled with his pen as he read the text. He reread the same analogy. He read it again... and again... and again. Roxas finally snapped after reading the analogy "Serious is to calm while pain is to ?" for about fifteen times. He set down his pen in attempt to calm down. Something was bugging him.
'I feel like someone's going to burst through the window at any moment, screaming that we're about to be invaded by aliens in the shape of brain eating cats and I'm the only one that can stop them with my power of attraction to horny dogs,' Roxas thought. 'Why do I always come up with the freakiest things to say?'
At that moment, someone burst through the door and rushed to the teacher.
'...Close enough,' Roxas thought. He watched as the two exchanged words quickly.
"Roxas!" his teacher called.
"Here!" Roxas stood up from his seat nervously.
'Please don't tell me that we really are going to be invaded by aliens in the shape of brain eating cats...' Roxas thought in horror.
His teacher waved him down and told him to gather his things. "I have good news," he began. "You're being moved to the senior class."
"I'm... what?" Roxas asked in disbelief.
"You're going to your second period class," he handed Roxas a piece of paper. It was his schedule.
"Okay," Roxas nodded. "Thank you." He took the paper and headed out after the girl who had rushed in.
"Hi, I'm Selphie," the girl greeted. "I'm a senior. I'll take you to your first class since you'll have a bit of trouble with the hallways and rooms. There've been additions and things have been rearranged. The senior classes are having a bit trouble teaching because of the ruckus on the other side of the rooms. Oh, and congratulations!"
"Th-Thanks," Roxas blushed. He wasn't used to such hyper girls around him. He was only around Namine and that wasn't often either.

The two hadn't spoken to each other much, excluding Selphie's usual rants. While she babbled on and on about this band sounding like gerbils and chipmunks put together, Roxas simply followed and gave her a smile and nodded every now and then. They had stopped at a room with a sign that read, 'temporary English class.'
"Here we are!" Selphie grinned as she stopped in the middle of her many one-sided conversations. She led Roxas into the room while waving at one of her friends at the front of the room. "Hi, Leon!"
"What do you want, Selphie?" Leon asked quite bluntly.
"You've got a new student." Selphie said.
Roxas didn't hear much after that. His eyes were glued to a particular boy amongst the group. "This can't be happening..." Roxas mumbled. "It's..."
"Axel!" Leon called.
