Chapter four

Fun

Axel

I am either: dreaming, hallucinating, going crazy, or this is really happening. Right now, I have no idea. I want to believe Roxas because this is totally epic, but totally insane.

I can't deny what I'm seeing, the colorful bird's wings brushing against my cheek, so soft, so real. Yup, the rings power is real. Those drawn birds really did peel and grow out of the page. Now, the page is blank, as if nothing had been drawn.

The ring had glown slightly, just a dim fiery glow. The beautiful, intricate designs of the beautiful ring. The vines seemed to pulse with life, as if at any moment they would grow, stretch out and grab me.

Ember. That's what Roxas calls it, gazing at it with wonder.

"So…" I say, "I'm not crazy".

"Nope," Roxas shakes he head.

"Hmm, okay," now, I turn to Aku, the other Axel. I step forward and he slips off the hood of my car, we stand face to face. Slowly, I raise my right hand. Aku does the same, with his left. I wiggle my fingers. He does, too. I let myself fall to my knees. He does the same.

All my moves he repeats. A mirror image of me. The only difference I can see is… well… none. (I'm still moving around and Aku mirrors me. Ha, ha. We must look like silly idiots right now.). No, wait.

Now that I look more closely, I can see the edges of Aku's body shimmer and fade slightly, with his movements. You can only tell if you squint.

"Alright, stop it. Stop copying me." He wouldn't. He only mouthed back my words. "Enough! Its… freaky". Aku smirked and bounded to Roxas's side. He wrapped an arm about his waist and pulled him closer.

Jealousy flares deep inside me, I do not like that arm around Roxas's waist. That should be me! (Yes, I like Roxas, just in case it wasn't obvious. Who wouldn't like Roxas?). Aku notices my discomfort and Roxas's tries to lean away from him, avoiding my gaze.

What if Roxas likes me? No…yes… a guy can hope, right?

"Well, Axel," Aku pipes up, "why don't we go to the forest and have a little race? So that you know I'm real, hmm?"

A challenge I cannot resist.

"Let's go, I want to see what you've got".

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

I'm way ahead of Roxas and Aku. The wind whips my red hair back even more, bouncing slightly as I run. I am awesome. Too fast for them, ha, ha.

I was a little too caught up in my gloating to notice that a string was stretched out in front of me. So that's how I end up sprawled across the earth floor. Wild, booming laughter explodes as I sit up slowly.

"You should see the look on your face right now," Aku laughs, "Ha oldest trick in your book". True, true.

With my fire, I set ablaze the grass behind him. I let it take shape of a raven, a glowing raven that screeches loudly at Aku.

"Holy crap. Wha-what is that?!" Aku yells, running to take cover behind Roxas. I snicker devilishly.

"It's my fire," I respond. Oh, how I love to mess with people.

"Hey, can I do that?" Aku asks.

"Wait!" I yell. Too late. Two trees beside me burst into flames. To avoid the whole forest catching fire, I draw the fire toward me. The suddenness of extra power leaves me on my hands and knees.

Damn. Aku's power is nothing like mine. It's too strong, unstable, uncontrolled.

"Do not do that again, you hear?" I order.

"Cool yourself, Ax," Roxas speaks for the first time since we got here. His warm tone melts away my annoyance. He has that sort of effect on me.

"So double trouble now, huh?" I ask.

Roxas smiles.

Yep, double trouble.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

What to do? What to do? Two trouble makers are never a good thing. That is, for everyone else. For now, us three: Roxas, Aku and I, will have some fun. (I still can't take my eyes off Aku, he resembles me too much). First, we let everyone's clothes fly away.

When we go to every clothesline and let loose every piece of clothing, we laugh contently as people scramble for their undies. Ha, ha, you don't see underwear flying in the breeze every day. Like majestic unicorns.

Feeling excited with mischief, we touch every car in twilight town so that the air is full of honking and blaring alarms. Just a little bit of innocent things.

We're having so much fun we almost forget that we have to go home. So we visit the big water fountain in the center of town. We sit together, looking up at the stars that slowly appear as night creeps in.

I am very aware of Roxas watching me out of the corner of his eyes. He thinks he's so secretive and cocky. Pah-lease. I look at him and tilt my head to the side. When I flash him a smile, he blushes lightly and averts his gaze.

Aku doesn't fail to notice our small exchange. He scoots closer to me so I have to scoot closer to Roxas. Our thighs brush against each other.

Suddenly, I feel nervous. My heart is hammering against my chest and my pulse quickens. I've been next to Roxas before. So why are my feelings acting up now? I glance at Aku, he gives me a smug smile.

He knows. About my crush.

Wait, wait, wait. Crush? Okay, well yeah, even I can't deny my feelings. But, crush isn't a word I like to use. But… what if Roxas doesn't feel the same way? Ah, not the time to think about that.

Somewhere along the walk back to the clock tower (we left the car there), under the stars, my hand slipped into Roxas's. We glance at each other and look away with shy smiles, but we didn't let go of each other.

I didn't notice Aku slip away. I didn't notice that a loneliness began inside him as he watched Roxas and I walk hand in hand.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Axel can't believe he's got a clone! Although, personally, I think Axel thinks he's hotter than his clone. (That's because he is ~Blue). Now, whats up with Aku?
