Sora sat at the top of the clock tower in twilight town, eating sea-salt ice cream while watching the sunset. It was a very relaxing place, so peaceful and tranquil, he could understand why Roxas liked it so much.

"you know, me and axel used to do this all the time"

"really?"

"yeah, after we did our missions, we would always come here and eat ice cream,

he called it 'the icing on the cake'."

Sora smiled as he listened to Roxas' story's. After sora finished his ice cream, he notices words that were written on the stick 'Winner'.

"Sora, you got a winning stick!"

"what did I win?"

"another ice cream"

Ria soon found the train station, Sora was nowhere in sight, maybe she was early?. By looking at the setting sun, she could see that no time really passed. she decided to wait on one of the steps, if he wasn't here by nightfall then he must have ditched her.

"there you are!" came a voice walking up to her, the voice belonged to that jerk, seifer, and he had his two followers with him, Fuu and Rai, he probably wanted revenge for the beat down she gave him earlier.

"i can't see you, you're invisible." she thought, she would just ignore him, he'd go away.

But he didn't, he stood right in front of her, like a mother would do to a child who was watching to much television.

"could you move? your blocking my view." she said calmly, trying to be nice.

"stand up" he said. Who did this guy think he was?, telling her what to do.

"i said stand up"he said again, she groaned with irritation and did as he said.

"listen to me, because i'm only gonna say this once"

"speak, if you have something to say that's worth listening..." she said.

She stood there waiting with baited breath for whatever stupid thing he had to say, if it was something perverted then she'd smack him, if it was something sexist then she'd kick him.

"will you marry me?!" he shouted as he kneeled before her and held her hand.

Ria gasped hard and her cheeks blushed bright red with surprise, was this moron actually saying that? the concept of having him as a husband made her stomach turn and twist in disgust.

"MARRY YOU?!" she cried "why on earth would you say such a thing?!"

"i've never met a girl that would stand against me, let alone beat me in a fight, there's no doubt in my mind, you're the woman of my dreams!"

"get from me, creep!" she said as she pulled her hand away from his. "i would never marry you! besides, I'm only sixteen!"

"you don't have to marry me then, but would you go out with me?"

"i... uhh, I have a boyfriend!" she said randomly, it was an obvious lie but what else was she going to say that would shut him up?.

"a boyfriend huh?" he said, instantly regaining his cool, he saw past her little lie.

"so tell me, What's his name? who's this boyfriend of yours?"

"i... umm"

"it's me!" Ria saw Sora walking towards her with... ice cream?.

"oh, it's you" seifer said, glaring at sora with eyes like a hawk.

Seifer gave a little chuckle. "come on guys, this punk isn't worth it" he said as he 'accidentally' bumped into Sora, causing the ice cream in his hands to stain his shirt. Before he could say anything, they were gone.

"what a bunch of jerks" he said, turning to Ria who had a smile on her face. "they didn't hurt you, did they?" he gave her one of the ice creams he held in his hand.

"no, i'm fine, thanks" she tasted the ice cream and was surprised by the flavor, it was salty but also really sweet. "what flavor is this?" "sea-salt" sea-salt? Salt on ice cream? That's kinda weird, but it still tasted good.

"so... what was all that about?" Sora said as they walked into the train station.

"that idiot wanted me to marry him, I was just about to hit him with my keyblade, but you showed up"

"oh yeah, I forgot, we're not supposed to let anyone know that we have keyblades, it's a secret to everybody" Sora came to the ticket booth and purchased two tickets for the train.

The train they were riding was all purple and cartoonish, it was decorated with glowing stars and comets, it even had a wizards hat at the top of it. (AN: it has been a long time since I played kingdom hearts 2, so my memory of things is kinda off)

they took their seats and the train's doors shut as it began to pull out of the station.

Ria just sat there looking out of her window, at the little town below the train.

"so, tell me about yourself" Ria said to Sora.

"me?" sora pointed at himself, she nodded.

"well, I live near an island, with my friends riku and kairi, we've known each other since we were children"

Sora began telling Ria about his friend riku, the things they used to do, and the games they used to play as children.

"me and riku used to play hero and villain, it's kinda like cops and robbers, one guy is the hero and the other is the villain, the villain captures the princess and the hero goes to save her, me and riku would always argue over who got to be the hero, i always forced him to be the villain, I don't think I ever let him be the hero, kairi was always the princess who got captured."

"who is this kairi?" ria asked.

"she's the best" he said. "she's got short red hair and she's really friendly." sora continued in his explanations of his friends, particularly kairi, he spoke about her with such fondness, it actually made Ria feel... jealous.

"she sounds great..." Ria said as she looked down at her feet and sighed, she didn't know why she felt this way, the more sora talked about kairi, the more frustrated Ria became, she really wished she didn't feel this way.

"yeah she's... hey, are you okay?" he said to her, she looked upset, did he say something wrong?

"you like her, don't you?"

"yeah, why?"

"not that kind of like, you're friends but you want to be more than friends, right?"

"well... kinda"

she sighed, maybe sora was being inconsiderate? Maybe he was talking to much and she wasn't talking enough?

"tell me about you" he said, Ria looked at him, was it just sora, or did her eyes get bigger.

"well... I don't really have many friends, I live alone with my mother" "well she's not really my mother, she's my guardian but i've been with her ever since I was a baby, we don't talk much, most of the time we just pass each other without saying anything, I go to school before she wakes up and when I come home she's knocked out on her bed, during the weekends I just sit in my room, she doesn't even check on me" "i don't even think she knows i've been gone"

"I... i'm sorry" sora said

"don't be, it's not your fault" sora felt bad, here he was, talking about how much fun he has with his friends and family and she didn't even have many friends or family, he really wished that he kept his mouth shut.

"hey sora?" "yeah?"

"i'm gonna take a little nap, okay?" Ria said. "wake me up when we get there?"

"sure" Sora said. She laid down on the seat, closed her eyes and began her nap, sora just watched her, he had to admit, she looked rather cute while she slept.
