Episode 4: That Which We Destroy

Genre: Romance/Humor

Filming was nonstop. After one episode was done, everybody had to immediately scramble for the next because of the writers. As it was explained before and will be mention once again, Namine was exhausted. She may not seem like it, but she was tired. The script to the new episode was given to the actors after finishing the current one and she never knew that this was what actors were put through. It was countless hours that never seemed to end. She could not remember the last time she picked up her sketchbook to draw a picture. The feel of the pencil, erasing a mistake, images in her head of what she wanted to draw or see in the real world. She missed it too much that she's beginning to forget of what it felt like to be an artist. Currently, she and Roxas were filming a scene together in the high school.

She closed her locker and was shaken in disgust at what she saw. "Eww! I thought for a second I was looking at the mirror," she said to Roxas, drifting away with her books. He then started to walk be her side. "Why are you now hanging out with me? I thought you would leave me alone after I decided to go to that stupid party. Haven't I done enough?"

"I want to know you more. To show you that I am not in some popular bubble and that I know my classmates," Roxas answered.

"Why don't cha ya just hang out with your girlfriend?" she asked. "You and Kairi are always smooching each other's faces."

"Geez, you don't know much do you? Couples don't always do that." Roxas went ahead of her and turned to face to her, blocking her path and laid his left hand on the wall. "As a matter of fact, I saw you and Sora chatting on the beach yesterday."

"At least he knows me. And it doesn't mean anything." Namine looked up to the ceiling for a bit to think. "Which reminds me, I feel sorry for him, you know." Roxas just gave her a peculiar look. "Being best friends with somebody and liking the same girl, gosh, it must suck." He knew who she was referring to. "In a love triangle where she goes back-to-back to the other. Can't seemingly to make up her mind. Kairi must—oops, I spoiled it," she acted surprised.

"Trust me, I already knew what you were doing," he informed her as a small silence between the two followed. "So, its… uh lunch right now. Do you want to come with?" he offered, looking at her deem expression.

"Why not?" she accepted. "As long as you pay for it, I'm fine with it." Roxas laughed at her request.

"Sure, I'm fine with that," he told her as the two walk to the cafeteria. When they past a classroom doorway, Sora appeared and he crossed his arms leaning on the doorway.

"I have to get them together, but how?" he said to himself. After several seconds passed, he saw one of his friends come across him. "Pence!" he said pulling him away. "Can I ask for a favor?"

"Uhh… I-I don't k-know," Pence timidly said, which made Sora think what was going on with him. "Maybe you can have Olette do it for you," he suggested.

"Is there something bothering you Pence? You were hesitating a moment ago," Sora pointed out. "Like I've said, you can tell me anything."

"It's nothing really," he said, forcing a smile. "Forget what I said earlier, I will help you. Now, what is it?" Sora just look intently at his friend, but screamed for joy inside when he accepted his offer. Whatever Pence was hiding, he will surely find out later.

"Cut!" the director shouted. "Time for a break. I'm starving." Sora and Pence left the school and back outside for some lunch. By the time the two got there, they already saw Roxas and Namine near the food table.

"Haha, Roxas and Namine are fighting over the last slice of apple pie!" Pence laughed watching the scene. Sora watched in amusement of his two blonde co-stars fighting over food as it over the last slice of pie. Another memory played back in his head because one similar memory was just like the one he was witnessing right now. He remembered one unique trait she had since childhood.

October 1998

Sora had a paper crown and in front it read: Happy 6th Birthday Sora! On the day of October 21, 1993, Sora was born. His parents had thrown him a party at a nice open green park. Kids were running around, balloons tied to some tables, and an inflatable castle to jump in. Sora sat at the main table playing with his Transformers toy while his other friends played in the castle. A blonde fellow came by his side, taking a sip from her drink.

"Why are you Sora?" Namine asked. "It's more fun in the castle!"

"I don't know. I wanted to play my toys before going. Transformers are cool!" Sora's stomach then growled making Namine giggle.

"Hungry?"

"Yep, I want some apple pie! My favorite pie!"

"Me too!" she said excited. "I will get us both!" she cheered, grabbing two paper plates from the plastic bag and went to the food table. She then noticed something. "Sora, there is only one slice." Sora got off this seat, put his toy down, and went to her.

"Let's share!" he suggested, but Namine gave him a glare. "What?"

"I do not like sharing my apple pie," she intensely said, making Sora glare at her too.

"Then I guess I have to grab it first!" he implied, challenging her.

"I warn you! My big brother Cloud can't even beat me!" she warned.

"Ohhh, I'm so scared!" he mocked when he saw Namine swiftly grab the last slice and shoved it down her throat. "Hey! No fair!"

"My mom says nothing is fair."

Present Day

"Sora?" Pence said. Sora snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his chubby friend.

"Are you okay?" he asked. Sora noticed how the situation flipped. The scene they filmed earlier was similar. Pence was Sora and Sora was Pence, well, in the show sense.

"Y-yeah," he hesitated. He really could not tell if he was with these flashbacks he has been getting lately since Namine arrived. "Just peachy."

"Nah uh! I wanted this pie first!" Namine shouted at Roxas. After shooting their scene, they did walk off outside when the camera was off on them. The duo was craving for food and talking about lunch, even just a little, made their stomachs growl. It was good that it wasn't heard on camera. Otherwise, they would have to redo the scene where their stomachs did not growl. Now, when they arrived, they saw the last piece of apple pie. Both loved it and ran for it, but had both hands on the plate. The scene going on at this moment was them fighting and pulling the single plate.

"I think I had my hands on this first Namine," Roxas informed her.

"Nah uh!"

"Uh huh!"

"Nah uh!"

"Uh huh!"

"Nah uh!"

"Uh hu—" Roxas stopped for a second and took a glance at the pie, then back on Namine. He smirked at her and took the last slice with his free hand, shoving it into his mouth. It made Namine sad inside as the two drop the plate, but she decided to do something about it. She immediately grabbed both sides of his chin, but not fiercely, feeling the bone of his jaw. She just wanted him to spit out that pie in his mouth since he didn't shallow it.

"Roxas! Come on!" she yelled, grabbing onto his chins shaking him. "If I can't have it, you can't either! Now spit it out!" Currently, Roxas enjoyed her touches. Some male hormones were acting up, but he was holding it back. Her skin was nice and smooth like silk. It made him shiver down his spine, but also felt like choking because he still had the pie in his mouth, trying to chew it. "Roxas!" He laughed in his head as he shallowed it. It wasn't that big of a slice.

"Mmm! That tasted real good!" he laughed, licking his lips. "Sucks you could of thought what I did."

"Well I didn't. You're the first I have lost to a pie war," she notified him. "Even my own brother couldn't beat me. No one messes with my pie."

"Last time I check, I did not see your name. Glad to be your first." An awkward small silence followed because of his last sentence. "I did not mean it like that."

Namine smiled, laughed, and said, "I know; I just wanted to put you into that situation for some laughs. Plus, respect your elders." Roxas felt fooled. Namine's laugh had become addicting the past weeks. The two have been hanging out many times and the outcome was always cracking up about something the other did or said. Namine's favorite moment being with him was when they did a mock-up interview for her and asked silly questions. She mentioned she was the oldest. He was the oldest till she came along. They were apart by one month with Namine in May and Roxas in June.

Elsewhere, Kairi was sitting frozen at her table about to put a piece of lettuce in her mouth, but the scene she was watching of Roxas and Namine bonding made her boil inside. She rather film scenes right now. Ten or less days to film and about a week to edit it all felt all too long now with Namine around. She moved once again to look away from the scene and back to her food. Then Sora and Pence sat with her. "Hey Kairi, do you see what Roxas and Namine are doing?" Pence said agitated. "They are fighting over piece a pie!"

"I can see that," Kairi stubbornly replied. Pence apologized to her since he forget about her feelings for Roxas. Truthfully, people would forget she does have a real crush on Roxas.

"It's okay Kairi." Sora giving sympathy to people was one of Kairi's favorite traits, but not this time.

"How can you say that? Doesn't she—?!" Kairi stopped and forgot Pence was around. She wanted to be alone with Sora. "Pence, can you please get me a refill?" she asked, giving him her cup and he accepted it. She turned her attention back on Sora, crossing her arms and laid it on the table. "Namine looks familiar to me, what do you think?" Sora did not want to respond to her question, so he tried to by pass it.

"Nope. Not. A. Clue. Hey, these chicken taste great," he answered, trying to move onto another topic, taking a bite of his chicken with his fork.

"Do not attempt to avoid the subject Sora," she said. "I know your little secret. I guess childhood friends are never forgotten are they? Well, Namine doesn't seem to remember you and I wonder why." She got him at the pawn of her hands. There was no way he could run off.

"How did you find out?" he whispered, getting mad, but not much.

"Actually, I wasn't sure, but your reaction now tells me it is true. I can tell you like her," she teased, which made Sora blushed. She loved his reaction, but she wasn't trying to torture him even if it seemed like it.

"I do not. I just… miss her." Kairi now wanted to tone herself down because now it was getting serious.

"For remembering her for over a decade Sora, that sure says something," Kairi tells him. "How 'bout we try to get her to remember you." Two things were going on in her head, both good and bad. The bad side was that she can try to get Namine to be with Sora, so she can have Roxas, but it would be tough because those two blonds were practically inseparable now. Now the good side, she did want to help Sora with this situation, but still had an ulterior motive. "Let us start by hanging out with Namine and Roxas more often. I will pretend to be one of her best buds and you will—."

"You want Roxas don't you?" Sora interrupted. "You are so easy to read Kairi."

"Yeah, but hey, I know you want Namine."

"I do not. I want the friendship we had before. We were so close," Sora replied. "I keep having these flashbacks of us because somehow… the moments Namine and Roxas are having are like the ones I had with her before."

"Then lets go with my plan," Kairi told him, but she stopped. "Oh, and stage one: denial," she sang.

"Shut up!" Sora playfully pushed her. "Plus, I bet you do not even have a plan."

"No clue!" she laughed off. "Now follow my lead."

Namine failed to get Roxas to spit out the apple pie, but she still wouldn't have wanted it anyway because it would be trench in his saliva. This was her second episode to film, bringing a total of fourteen episodes out of the twenty-two episodes order completed. The producers wanted to push everybody harder because March was next month. The month new episodes returned on-air. The actors had been told to not screw up much anymore, much to Namine's dismay after what Sora told her before, and the editing crew was given to work more hours than they should. What motives them to work harder were their paychecks. They were getting more money than the average they get. "I can't believe I lost to you," Namine whined to Roxas. The two walk together, as usual, around the school campus.

"Yeah, I'm amazing," he slyly said. "That was some good pie." Namine sighed.

"You are not that amazing," she informed him. "Sora is a better actor than you'll ever be."

"Whoa! I know you did not just say that."

"But I did, now deal with that. I do mean it," she said putting on a proud face.

"Then let me say Kairi is better than you!" he fired back. Roxas loved playing around with Namine.

"The joke is on you when she is."

"Talking about me?" Sora said, appearing by Roxas' side.

"And me?" Kairi joined and sat next to Namine. "By the way, I'm glad you acknowledge I'm better than you."

"What are you two doing here?" Namine asked.

"Why… just hanging around of course!" Kairi forced a smile on her face with a much nicer tone than how she acted with Namine. "You know Namine," she said, putting arm around her blonde co-star. It already made Namine uncomfortable. "Look, I know we haven't got on the right foot with each other, but…" Kairi stopped to think of something positive. Acting like this with Namine made her sick by now. "I do want to be friends," she lied. "I was just testing you earlier."

"You… were?" Namine said in a monotone. Even Roxas had an odd look on his face at all this. From what Kairi had said behind Namine's back, it was not a hundred percent nice.

"Yeah!" Namine did not know if she should trust her or even believe her. Kairi was an actress. A good one at that, which was why she can't tell if it was real. For now, she was going to follow this charade and see where it went for the time being.

"You want to be friends? With me? I thought you hated me?"

"Hate is such a strong word…" Kairi trailed off until she changed her tone. "Okay, maybe I did say that, but I'm careless with my words."

"Yeah. Her brain and mouth don't connect well with each other," Sora laughed off, which made her stomp on his foot, and he did his best to contain his pain. Roxas easily saw the scene and knew it was an act. He couldn't figure out what their intentions were either.

"They sure don't," Kairi gritted through her teeth.

"How nice of you Kairi," Roxas said. "Wanting to be friends."

"Hah, you know me. Gotta act tough with the newbies first."

"I'm sure you are," Roxas stared at her.

~ Our Life is Not a TV Show or Maybe ~

This time around, Namine decided to carry her sketchbook on set. Before getting on, she ate a big breakfast at home. Sometimes it was way early in the morning, depending on what time filming started. During lunch, she normally would skip it and go somewhere to draw something. Another thing Namine missed was video chatting with Xion and sometimes Riku on her phone and laptop. The last time she did this was that time at McDonalds about making her co-stars be a little bit normal. Also, she could not decide if she should call them her friends or co-stars now. It felt weird calling famous actors her friends when she suddenly came onto the scene. Although, she did enjoy calling Roxas her friend now because they always hanged out with each other. However, she felt she needed to bond with the others too. Kairi was another story despite what she said the other day, especially her hasty change in feelings toward her. Right now, she was actually hanging out with her and Olette, with Kairi trying the hardest being her friend. Olette did not have to try because Namine liked her best as everything came naturally. The three were hanging in their trailer eating some snacks.

"So Namine, you're an artist too?" Kairi asked, flipping through her sketchbook. She was lying on the couch, taking up the whole space. Namine and Olette were sitting on their makeup chairs. As she went through the pictures, getting some pencil lead stains on her fingers, she noticed one peculiar picture. In Kairi's brain, she hated to admit she was a good artist. It was an added trait for her to hate her more, but Kairi wouldn't say it out loud. The picture she saw was a familiar one. "Namine," she called out and the blonde looked to her direction.

"Yes?" she said, putting a cheeto in her mouth and chewing it.

"This picture… I think I've seen it before." It was a certain spiky brunette, six years old, and a blonde girl on his back. Kairi knew exactly why it was so familiar. "Why did you draw a picture of you and Sora at a young age?" Namine came over to her.

"Oh that, it's funny actually. Before coming here, I had this dream we were the best of friends and so as to that, this image is what stuck out to me the most. Funny yeah?"

"Funny? I call it weird," Olette commented, composing Namine to look at her. "In a good way I mean. I really do." Olette paused. "You and Roxas have been hanging out a lot. Sure Kairi and Roxas' relationship is a sham—." Olette stopped and saw Kairi glaring at her, but continued. "I think he has took an interest in you." Namine blushed.

"What?" she said dumbly. "Me? I don't think so. I may like reading romance movies and stories, but I'm not a big fan of very cliché work. The handsome actor falling for the normal girl is… ugh, not my thing." This sparked a smirk on Kairi's face.

"Then you do not like him?" Kairi asked, closing her sketchbook. "It sucks to be Roxas because I overheard him and Sora talking about you," she lied, but made it sound truthful. If her plan to separate Namine and Roxas was going to work, she had to twist the truth or tell lies.

"Kairi, this is not one of your gossip segments," Olette tells her.

"But I love to gossip!" she fretted. "It is so fun. There is this one rumor I heard that one of the pro—?"

"Kairi!" Olette said.

"Right!" Kairi responded snapping her fingers. "I'm just saying… do not take what I said earlier serious Namine." Namine believed her words and it was a first. "You know, I just got word! Our last day of filming this season is in May! The season five finale airs in June!" Kairi cheered. "I love our show."

"Wow, that was random," Namine pointed out crumbling the empty cheetos bag and threw it in the trash. She then yawned loudly. "Man, I'm tired! Are you girls tired?"

"We are," Kairi told her, sitting up now while fixing her hair. "This is only going to get more hectic. The executive producer told me we are to film three episodes in March, three in April, and the final two in May. It is because of your audition we had to stop production of new episodes in search of someone new at a short time." While it didn't sound like Kairi was implying it was Namine's fault for the crazy fast-paced schedule, but it was her intention. "Eight more to go!"

The girls trailer door opened with the boys coming in, covering their eyes with their hands. "Is okay to come in?" Roxas asked, holding his hand out like he was reaching for something, but blind. Namine went up to Roxas, but then found him touching her face, then the side of her face, and later rummaging through her hair. It made her feel awkward what he was doing to her. "Kairi is that you?" he asked. "I can tell this is your face." Olette held her laughter inside, but Kairi boiled inside of jealously.

"No Roxas! You are touching Namine's face dumbo," she said in annoyance, going back to her previous position on the couch. She put a pink piece of gum in her mouth and started chewing it. Roxas separated two of his fingers showing his eye to Namine.

"Namine!" he said, shocked at the revelation and removed all his hands to see clearly. "Sorry about that," he laughed embarrassed. He scratched the back of his hand as a sudden pause in the room came. "So… how's it going?"

"Nothing," Kairi answered.

"Boring," Olette added.

"Torture," Namine included. Roxas snickered. "Kidding." She put on a small smile and said, "We are tired from working. The good thing out of this is I get to know what happens on the show before everyone else! Especially Xion!"

"Oh," Kairi said. "God I miss that."

"What?" Hayner asked.

"Being that girl who was excited with each new episode like a crazy fan girl."

"I will take it as a compliment," Namine replied. "Besides, I am one. I'm here to get rid of the dreaded love triangle on the show. Hayner and Olette are figuring things out and their future. And Pence here is a witness to a crime of murder."

"You forgot someone," Roxas responded.

"Who?"

"You," he answered. "You may not know it, but there is a reason why you were cast a series regular. You are not just here to get rid of the love triangle. Your characters gets her own story too you know."

"With the scenes I had read and did, I don't see it."

"Oh, but you will because your character gets to be a lesbian!" Namine gasped, knocking him off balance given with the purpose of him taking two steps behind. Everybody in the room hooted. "Gotcha ya!" He laughed at her.

"You are so mean!" Namine pointed out still beaming him.

"But seriously." Roxas tried to stop laughing and pulled himself together. "You too get a good, I mean great storyline. Family related stuff and I come—?" Roxas stopped realizing he was spoiling the whole thing already. "You will see in the final episode," he teased.

"They already wrote the final episode of the season?!" Namine asked in surprise.

"No, but the idea stays with it until we get there."

"I'm so excited! I wonder what it will be like!"

"The question is: can you pull it off?" Kairi asked. "It sounds like a big scene to me." Roxas looked at her direction, but saw he was facing the back of her head, slouching on the couch. He thought she looked like a couch potato.

"Don't worry Kairi. I know Namine can do it." He smirked at Namine, winking at her. He saw her blushing at an instant. "Of course, your character gets kidnapped in the finale because of what you did or do."

"What?!" Kairi yelled, immediately sitting up right at the news.

"Why so serious?" he grinned, acting like the Joker. He knew Kairi had the intention to beat him up.

"It is not getting funny anymore Roxas." Kairi walked to him and got stopped by Namine, but still faced him. Roxas begun to worry of what she was going to do to him and had a nervous look on his face. The red head went passed Namine to get closer to him. "I won't punch you," she teased, going in circles around him. "I will not pull your gravity defying hair. Instead, I will…" Kairi took her gum out of her mouth and presses it on the back of his hair.

"Kairi!" he complained. "My hair! My beautiful hair!"

"Oh, Roxas," she said, patting his back. "I have a solution to this, so you can forgive me later. Although, I think you will just hate me again." Roxas mouthed a 'help' to Namine, but she contained her laughter by having her index finger on her lips. "Olette! Get me the item to solve this!" she demanded and Olette threw it to her.

"Throwing scissors is dangerous," Sora told her. "You could hurt yourself."

"I can take care of myself Sora. I'm skillful like a ninja! Woopow!" Kairi replied and back on Roxas. "Alright, I'm only going to cut this one part where the gum is." She grabbed the pieces of hair attached to her gum and brought the scissors forward. Roxas' closed his eyes panicking on what is about to happen to his precious hair.

In one quick swipe, Roxas whined like a puppy. He was holding a piece of his own hair in front of his eyes with both hands while Kairi was sat back down on the couch. "Do not worry Roxas." She blew a bubble and it popped. "You will get over it and it will grow back." Namine observed the two and asked herself why does Kairi like Roxas again. It must be how she functioned and showed her feelings. Namine would have done a simple haircut, but Kairi jumped in before her.

"His hair looks the same if you ask me," Pence said.

~ Our Life is Not a TV Show or Maybe ~

Roxas and Kairi were filming their scene together on the Strip. It was exactly nighttime now as tourists and people alike populated the area, acting as extras for the show, but some do not care and acted causal. The sky was black and cloudy. The moon was out, but it barely shone down because of the clouds. Some of the stars were out, but the bright lights in the area of the island shut them out. Roxas walked down the Strip with Kairi, holding her shopping bags and looked exhausted. "Kairi, I have known you for years and still do not know why you buy so much bags," he told her. Kairi turned her back and faced him.

"Silly Roxas, we are boyfriend and girlfriend now. You are supposed to help me carry my bags," she answered. Roxas raised his eyebrow and saw her not carrying a single bag other than her purse. "Alright, I will carry half of the bags. Give them to me," she said, lying her hands out. Roxas unloaded half the bags on his right side and gave it to Kairi. "By the way Roxas, that blonde girl…"

"Who? Namine?" he asked.

"Yeah, I was wondering why are you hanging out with her? She just, you know, appeared out of nowhere. Is she new?" Roxas rolled his eyes, remembering his first encounter with her because he thought the same thing.

"No Kairi. She is not." The two started to walk again, but continue the conversation. "Look, we finally got together again, but you cannot let this get to you," he informed. They continue to walk with him still facing Kairi's back. "This is one of your issues, jealously."

"What? Pssh, I-I'm not jealous," Kairi hesitated in a high pitch voice."

"Your voice always gets like that when you are in denial."

"My I remind that jealously is also one of your issues. It's one of the reason why it took a while for us to get back together," she snapped. "We had to sneak behind Sora's back to do this and now it is out in the open since, well he, spotted us on the beach that day of the party. I'm surprised you too are still talking."

"Not anymore. Sora made it clear he does not to be friends with me anymore if I continue to do this to him," Roxas replied. "Including you." Kairi stopped in her tracks from his words. "Gotcha didn't I?" She then finally turned her around to face him.

"Roxas, yes, Sora was my first love but we are over. Dated since middle school—."

"And broke up at the end of freshman year," Roxas interrupted. "He still loves you despite the fact we went behind his back when two got back together. Even after everything he's been through in the past year."

"But I don't," she claimed. "Can we all just move on? Lets not let the past get to us and look at the present instead."

"You don't think what we did was rather shady and selfish? I mean, he's still going to therapy after what happened." Kairi stopped for a moment and closed her eyes. She opened them slowly as she sighed with solemn look on her face.

"And cut!" the director yelled. "Time for a small break." He yawned, leaving the area. The prop department took the fake colorful bags from Roxas and Kairi. He left once again from Kairi to find Namine, but she pulled him away.

"Hey! Where are you going mister?" she asked, but she already knew the answer.

"Namine, where else? I want to see how she is doing." Kairi felt complete déjà vu as the same scene played again like that day at the beach club.

"Weird huh? We did this before and it will play out the same," she said. "She is currently filming a scene with Sora. There is nothing to worry about because he is her love interest on the show." Roxas turned away of what she just said. "Yeah, Sora told me after the writer's changed their ideas because they want us to have a go and see what everybody thinks. Sora did seem surprised of the sudden change."

"Then what about the big finale I film with her? I really am looking forward to it." Roxas had begun to question if she was lying to him because he was aware she has the tendency to do it if she wanted something. He knew she wanted him, but ignored or pushed her away because he did not feel attractive to her. He will admit she was complex and gorgeous, but the feelings do not compare to the show.

"Roxas..." Kairi just sighed. "I'm only telling you the truth."

Sora and Namine were lying on the sand on opposites ends with the top of their heads touching each other. "The stars are nice out here," Sora said. He raised his arms and placed each one behind his head. He heard Namine scoff.

"Not really," she answered. "They are better viewed at the Unmei Lookout in the mountains or Hikari Beach. There is not much city or town lights nearby." She smiled and said, "You know what my mom used to tell me."

"Hmph, what?" Sora asked.

"That when someone dies, he or she would become a star in the heavens. That way, they would be looking down on you watching as you grow up and see the world change." Namine pitched that line into the script and the writer liked it. Her actual mother did tell her that when she was a little girl and still believed it to this day.

"That is kind of sweet actually," Sora admitted. "I would love to meet your mom one day." Namine didn't say anything and suddenly felt remorse.

"My mother… uh, she is not… here anymore," she sadly admitted. She heard Sora turn from the sound of the sand and lifted her head saw him looking down on her, but still laid on the sandy beaches by the beach club.

"I'm s-sorry to hear that," he empathized. Namine turned to face him and lifted her head. "Were you young when it happened?"

"Yeah, I was only seven at the time. She got into…" Namine stopped. In this scene, Namine had to think of something mournful because she wanted real tears coming down her face. She hated the fact when a dramatic scene came with the actor or actress crying, their eyes were not watery and no teardrops ran down their cheeks. She immediately thought of a dead puppy, which she thought was horrible in general, especially even thinking about it. Sora touched her left cheek softly and brought her up. Before she knew it, he hugged her. He had his arms wrapped around her waist and her head fit perfectly with his neck.

"It's okay," he said sweetly. "I lost my mom too. I know how it feels. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Namine did not recall reading that scene in the script where he softly touched her face and gave her a warm hug, even with the changes brought in. It must be Sora making the scene more lovable or something to satisfy the viewers she thought. One thing was for sure, she shouldn't confuse her feelings with herself. She had to know what was real and what was not. This scene was not it, so she did not want real feelings stirring up inside her right now. For Roxas, it was kind of a different story, but she had yet to film a scene like this with him. In front, she saw Roxas with Kairi coming onto the scene. She wanted to smile in Roxas' presence like she always did, but now was not the time to do so.

Roxas knew Namine and Sora were filming, but he could not help feel some jealously of the sight. He didn't even get to do that with Namine yet, but they laughed together so much and cracked jokes that nothing distressing came up. Namine did tell him she liked to be positive and not negative. He never did got an answer as to why though. She just said it.

Next to Roxas, Kairi smiled at the scene. "Perfect! The plan is working out! Sora got to change the scenes with the writer!" she cheered in her thoughts. "Now all we have to do is for her to fall for him and Roxas is all mines!" Kairi made a small evil laugh, but in public, causing Roxas to look at her strangely.

"Sometimes I worry about you Kairi," he distressed.

"Put a cork in it Roxas!" she snapped as she grinned.
