Aquarius

I wake up once more and I take a look at my calendar, about a week left until the wedding. Whenever I even think about the wedding my hands freeze up and my I can't talk cause I sweat...Wait, that wasn't right. See it's already getting to me! What I meant was, my hands get sweaty and I can't talk cause my mind freezes up. There, now that's right. Do you all see what this is doing to me! Stupid wedding! Hmph.

I soon cover the calendar with my hand and I get up and grab myself a chocolate poptart to fill my aching stomach. After my morning routine of the you know what's, I decided I'll walk to Axel's house, or at least meet him on the way there. I could use the exercise and what not anyway. And what do you know, not even ten minutes into my walk that red car pulls up and he stalkerishly pulls me in.

"Stalker much!" I scream after I close the door.

"Exactly!"

"Oh, Axel..."

"Now don't moan, Roxas. You know I don't go that way," Axel explains.

"Only you would think that," I grumble.

"Again, exactly."

During the ride, I notice we head to an outer part of town. A place that looked so familiar yet so strange. I was curious to see what girl number eight had in store for me. After passing a few houses in the country and a gas station or two, we pull into a YMCA. I look at Axel for an explaination, but he simply pulls into a parking space and gives me the 'what' look.

"Why are we at a local YMCA?" I ask.

"For your date, dummy. Gez. It's true, blondes really are dumb."

"Shut it, Axel."

"Shut what?"

"Either shut up or give a GOOD explanation."

"She works as a swim coach for the YMCA and she had to work the day that her date was scheduled. She couldn't get out of it so she had to have her date here. As for your trunks I brought over the pair that you leave at my house for when you stay with me."

"Thank you."

"Welcome. Now get your ass out there and wow that girl!"

He pushes me out of his car and throws me my trunks. I close the door after catching the flying swimwear and I head on inside. One thing about the YMCA, it's nice. Very nice inside. At least this one was. I walk in and head to the front desk and I say that I'm here to swim. They let me through after trying to get me to be a member, but I get through without joining. I then head for a locker room to change in and I get ready. I come back out five minutes later wearing my black trunks with white checkerboard pattern going up the side of both of my legs. I strut my stuff, okay, that was a lie. I hurry and pick a bench as I watch the three teachers teach three different age groups to learn how to swim.

"Well, it's one of these three teachers, so which is it gonna be," I mumble to myself.

The first teacher was teaching the little kids, probably ages three to four. However, this teacher was a guy, so I knew that he was not my date. Teacher number two was teaching the children aged five to six. She had light brown hair and she was wearing a ring or two, so I'm iffy on her. The last teacher was teaching kids aged seven through nine. She was really pretty. So, as I casually wait it out, I wonder to myself which girl will approach me. Soon enough, the kids are dismissed for the day and they all head to their parents. The brunette heads over to the male teacher and plants a light kiss on him. So their married I guess...Wait! Then that means that she's my date.

I look over to see her standing all alone. Waiting for me to approach her to let her know. She had blue hair that was short and styled in an odd yet calm fashion and she had a pair of blue eyes to match. She wore a blue, black, and white bikini that fit her body well. The top was blue with black trimming and the bottoms were blue with black trimming as well, but it had a small white flower on her left hip. Her body was nicely fit and she was better endowed in the chest department then most girls I have dated, yet still so small compared to Tifa.

I take in a deep breath, get up and I walk over to her. She looks at me funny, but I quickly explain myself in a charming manner.

"I'm Roxas, I'm with the dating service thing."

"Hi there, Roxas. I'm Aqua."

"Beautiful name. It seems to be a favorite color of yours, too."

"Yeah...I do like blue."

"Well, do you wanna sit down or swim or what?" I ask.

"Lets sit and talk for a bit. I don't wanna prune so I need a break out of the water," she explains.

"Alrighty then."

We head back over to the table I was sitting at and I hand her the towel I was given, but wasn't using. She quickly dries herself off with it before handing it back to me.

"So, Roxas. Wanna tell me bout yourself?" She asks.

"Sure. I'm twenty one, Capricorn, likes to read, watch tv, and hang with friends, and I am very smart for a blonde," I explain, finishing off with a small joke.

"Haha. I'm twenty three, Aquarius, like to swim, relax, and hang out with my best friends, and this is my natural hair color."

"Everything about you is blue isn't it?"

"Yes. My mom named me Aqua because when she saw me she said I had the most beautiful aqua eyes. So she named me Aqua. It just so happened to be ironic that my favorite color is any shade of blue and that I'm an Aquarius," my date clarifies.

"That's cool though. It's what makes you unique. So, why'd you sign up for this anyway? A girl like you couldn't possibly have trouble getting guys."

"I don't either. The problem is that they never quite get me or just use me as eye candy. I want someone who will love me no matter what and someone that loves me for me, not for what I look like."

"That's a good enough reason. Mine is with a financial issue."

"I know. Marluxia informed me of this. I asked him why you were using his service to get married because you looked so young."

"It's not that I don't wanna. I'm just nervous and if I truly find someone to click with, I'll still love the person anyway."

"That's good. So, you wanna head back into the water? I can teach you a few tricks."

I nod and she hops right back into the pool, the deep end of course. I jump in myself and I go pretty far down. I pop back up to the surface to find Aqua waiting for me. She looked stunning doing so. She grabbed my shoulders and counted to three before pushing me under and following me down. Under the water she stares at me and then swims away from. I follow her, but I come up for air rather quickly. I don't swim very much to have amazing lungs. While I'm at the surface catching my breath she appears once more and giggles. I give her a smile and we swim a bit more before we decided to go to the Burger King next door to grab something to eat.

As I wait for her outside, in my clothes of course, I can see Axel napping in his car. He kinda looked...strange sleeping in a car at the YMCA, but whatever. When she comes back out she has very original clothes on. She wore a dark blue tank top with a black girdle type thing with white lace on either side of it. She had two pink straps overlapping her chest with a silver heart in the middle of where they both connect. She also wore black shorts with a blue and white skirt that had an opening, kinda like Yuna's, except the opening was in the front and not on the side. She also wore high black stockings with metal like shoes and white arm warmers with greyish gloves. Again, it was very original and something you just had to see.

"Ready to go?" She asks.

"Yeah."

We head over to Burger King, get our food, and we take a seat. As she munches on her fries, I try and think of some questions to ask her. However, once she finishes off the fries she was chewing on, she asks me a question before I get to.

"So, Roxas, do you have a brother or something?"

"Yeah. Two actually. Leon and Sora are their names."

"Tell me more."

"Well, Leon is eighteen and has brown hair and blue eyes. He's currently engaged and he has been for the last year and six months. He'll be marrying very soon. Then their is Sora, he also has brown hair and blue eyes, but he's only fifteen. All the girls love him, but he doesn't notice girls like that yet. Or at least he keeps it a secret."

"That's neat. I always wanted a sibling. A little sister or an older brother."

"They're not the greatest," I explain with a smile.

"Do they embarrass you at all?"

"Yeah, sometimes. I remember when I brought home one of my friends, a girl by the way. I was a Sophmore in high school and Leon was twelve, I was fifteen, and he runs in and says 'Roxas likes you!' I blush madly, in embarrassment, and she then laughs at me for the next two weeks."

"Haha!" She laughs.

"Not only that, but when Sora was five and I was twelve, I use to have a crush on my teacher, well, Sora runs up and tells her how I like her and stuff. He didn't know any better though, so it wasn't entirely his fault. Anyway, all I have to say is that I was so glad that it was the last day of school."

"That's so funny! Well, I guess being an only child does have it's advantages," she says with a smile.

"It definitely does!"

The rest of the date, we sit and talk at Burger King. We laugh at past stories and we get to know each other better. We also did a few tricks with our food while he still had it. After an hour or two, yes we spent two hours at Burger King...Sad, I know...Anyway! After about two hours, we head back to the YMCA and I walk to her to her black car. She gets in and waves me a little wave. After watching her leave, I get back into the car that Axel was still in, sleeping if I may add. I wake him up by honking the horn and he hits his head on the roof of the car.

"DAMN! ROXAS!" He screams.

"What?" I ask innocently.

"Stop checking me out..." Axel says with a smile to get back at me.

"Way to ruin my fun. Wait! I didn't mean it like that!" I say frantically.

"Suuuuuure, Roxy. Whatever you say."

He pulls out and we head home while I of course get out my handy dandy notebook!

Aqua: Aquarius
Age: 23
Good: Funny. Has got things going good for her. Unique.
Bad: Maybe a bit to nosy? Maybe later in relationship she might be untrusting to me?
Aquarius Personality: Aquarius's are very intelligent and like to see things from all points of view. They believe that everyone should live to be who they want to be and they never judge others. They are very skilled and witty and can master manipulation justifying anything they do or think. Because of this, they can adapt well to any situation and can deal with any personality type.
Other Things About Aqua: Has a very unique clothing style. Is very good with children.

Once I finish writing, I slip my notebook away to see that we are still a bit from the house. So I deiced to bring up a sore subject. One that Axel probably won't like.

"So, Axel, why were you mad yesterday?" I ask, curious.

"I just was okay."

"I want a better answer, Axel."

"Yuffie was complaining to me about relationship problems on what to do with Vincent. She has no idea on how to act around him and I just didn't want to deal with it to be brutally honest."

"Fair enough. Just curious was all."

"I know. Sorry if I snapped at ya or anything."

"Axel, it's fine. I've snapped at you when I've been angry before, so don't worry about it. It's nothing."

"True."

About two minutes after the car went dead silent, Axel stops the car and unlocks the car doors. I get out and I head inside to find Sora on the phone. Probably with Riku. The two of them have always been close. I wave and he waves back, only to quickly get back to the conversation. I smile and I head to my room to do a bit of cleaning. After I cleaned my room, including my brothers side, I fall on the bed and sleep.

Hey guys, sorry the chapter was a bit late. Been very busy and stuff. Anyway, I know a lot of people probably predicted Aqua to be Aquarius, but she acts like one to me and at the time I chose most of the signs for the girls, I didn't know to much about her so it's pretty lucky that she acts like an Aquarius. As for her clothing description, I did the best I could. Anyway, I hope you all have enjoyed the chapter.
