ROXAS

Finally three o' clock rolled around and I was free from work. After leaving the café, I pulled out Axel's note.

"Sea salt ice cream is what caused it? Vague as ever."

I muttered. I really don't feel like wracking my brain for whatever Axel means, so I'll think about it over some ice cream. Sundae's here I come. Is it bad that I'm on a first name basis with everyone who works at Sundae's? I don't think so. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Yuffie, the only person more hyper than Sora.

"Hiya Roxas!" She chirped. If it wasn't for the counter in between us I would have been glomped to the ground.

"Hey Yuffie. How's it goin?"

"All good. All good. What about you? How is Sora?" She replied already reaching for the sea salt ice cream. I licked my lips before answering.

"Fine. How's Yuna?" Yuffie snorted and handed me my ice cream. She had an odd hatred of her cousin. I don't know why. Well, maybe the fact that her cousin was her boss contributes to it…

"You mean Princess Bitchy? As bossy as ever. Thankfully she called in sick today."

"It's not nice to talk about your co-workers you know." I said then licked the ice cream bar. I pulled out some munny and handed it to her.

"Keep the change. See you tomorrow Yuffie."

"Oh Roxas before I forget, this is for you. Your friend left it for you." Yuffie handed me a small square which turned out to be paper.

"Which friend?" I asked as I unfolded the little square paper.

"The hot redhead guy with the pretty emerald eyes and that sexy voice, oooh and that sexy smile. What's his name…? Axel?"

"I may vomit. I didn't need to hear that about my best friend! Did you forget that I'm right here!?" I cried. On to the note.

Hi again Roxy boy!

Well looks like you found out the first clue! Good for you Roxy! Good for you! But it was waaaay too easy for you seeing as you come here every single day. I bet you're chowin' down on some ice cream right now, you little piggy. If you keep it up, you'll be to fat to fit through the door! Anyways, the clue was rather important if you think about it. I mean sea salt ice cream really is what caused it. Caused what you ask? Caused our friendship duh! This is where we first met! Even though it was like…. Ten years ago, I still remember! I ran into you and made you drop your ice cream and you gave me an earful! I thought you were gonna talk a hole in my head! And then I said 'hey I think you're pretty neat. You're my new best friend. I'm Axel, Got it memorized? What's your name? Roxas? That's a cool name. So Roxas, this is our new best friend spot so commit it to your memory.' But I digress… onward to the next clue!

You can see me from a distance, so you should never be late.

Now get your little ass in gear and get that next clue!

Axel out!

P.S (For Post sexyness of course XD ) NO GETTING HELP FROM ANYONE!

"What does it say? What's it for?" Yuffie said trying to lean over the counter to get a look at the note.

"Nothing important. And its for this stupid scavenger hunt Axel has me on…Say Yuffie… do you understand this riddle? You can see me from a distance, so you should never be late?"

I asked as I put the paper in my back pocket. Axel's note said no getting help from anyone, but how could he possibly know if I did or not? Yuffie scratched her head.

"Gee, I'd like to help you out Rox, but Axel told me not to help you after you read the note. Right after he snapped at me about asking what was in the note."

Axel, that rat bastard! Crap I didn't think that he thought of me thinking to ask Yuffie for help with thinking of the solution to riddle because I didn't want to think…. Wait I think I just confused myself…

"So I'm on my own. Thanks for the ice cream Yuffie."

"So where are you going now?"

"To figure out this stupid riddle."
