~Dinner with Fate, Destiny, among other spectacles~

~Roxas~

I feel terrible.

I didn't deserve to do that to Xion. She doesn't deserve to be more confused than she already is.

"Agh!" I stuff my head in my pillow. How could I have done that to her?

It's been a week since I've seen her. A week since I... kissed her.

My mom knocks on my door. "Rox, dear? Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Total bull, but she didn't need to know that.

"Just so you know, we're going out to dinner tonight. See you later, Roxy~!" Tifa skipped along. My mom's childish at times, but that's one of the reasons I love her.

Maybe that's what I need. A night with my family to get my off things.

Off her.

Yeah, right.

~Xion~

I lean my head into my plush pillow, and I close my eyes and try identify my surroundings. I haven't been able to, ever since what happened.

I can still feel Roxas' lips on mine, the light pressure still haunts my lips.

So when my father enters my room, I barely reconize him. I can't reconize much of anything anymore.

"Xion, I'm sorry." My father asking for forgiveness is by far, the strangest thing that I've ever heard, so I look at him.

"Sorry for..."

"For making you get married, for everything." He holds his head down, and I hug him. My dad's so sweet.

"How about we go out for dinner tonight?" He offered. "We'll go to your favorite restaurant."

I nodded and my dad smiled one of those smiles. The kind of smiles that makes you think that there's nothing wrong with the world.

"Okay, so we'll leave in 30 minutes. Is that ok?"

"Yeah." I said and he left. I got up and headed torwards the shower. It was nice to feel that he cared.

~0~

The restaurant, which was called Possibilità di Incontro, was full to the brim. There was no way we could get in without a reservation. I looked at my dad nervously.

"I got it all planned out, dear." My father assured.

"Oh, the Caelum family has arrived!" The main waitress acknowledged. "Benvenuto! The Strife family is at the last table in this hall."

"Thank you," my mother said, but I was as frozen as a statue. I looked at my dad, hoping it was at coincidence. He wouldn't meet my gaze.

I felt betrayed, fooled, and branded as an idiot. I walked along, but I was full of hate.

In the end of the hall, I saw my fiance and my future family in-law. I forced a smile and Zack grinned. It was a lustful smile; it sincerely disgusted me.

I sat next to him, since it was the only available seat.

"Hey, babe." He whispered in my ear, making me cringe.

Aerith, who was actually nice, passed some bread to me. "A skinny girl like you should eat more. It's not healthy!"

She's a doctor; and a pretty good one too.

Zachary, what I called Zack's dad, smiled at me. He's pretty nice too. How did two awesome people give birth to such a spoiled brat? It's a mystery to me.

"When are we going to order?" I asked. Hey, Aerith said it: I gotta get some food in my system!

"We're waiting for some friends." My father said sternly. He still didn't meet my gaze.

"I see." I said, trying to hide my uncontrollable anger. I wanted to rip his head off dio bad.

"Speaking of which, there they are! Cloud, over here!" Zack waved.

Into my view entered a tall, blond man, who I assumed was Cloud Strife. Behind him was his wife, Tifa Lockheart. I heard about them from my mother, who said that they were in college together.

And behind them was... Ventus and Roxas?!

xXVentusXx

Oh, the irony.

I look over to the end of the table, and I see Xion with her fiancé, Zack. What are the odds of that?

I feel Roxas tense next to me. I can practically feel his rage.

"Zack, Noctis. Good to see you." My dad said non-chalantly.

"Hello to you too, Cloudy~" Aerith said teasingly.

Tifa laughed. "Still as childish as ever, Aerith."

"Girls gotta have fun, no?" The redhead stated.

"It's so nice to see you all again! Please, sit down." Stella said kindly. Wow, Xion's mother looks really young.

"It's definetly been a while, Stell. Ever since you graduated, you've been a little... distant." Tifa said, while looking at Noctis.

The adults laughed at the implication. It's funny how obvious it is when a grown man blushes.

But, back to the problem.

Roxas was practically glaring daggers into Zack, but he was too smug to notice. He had his arm on Xion's shoulder, while she just sat there.

A small, cute waitress enters and asked us for what we want.

"What do you want, babe?" Zack asked Xion.

I felt something snap.

~O~

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Cliffhanger! ;)
