Okay, so this was suggested by SiChri, who suggested taking a break from the main story and seeing a day in the life of Roxas and Naminé, which I thought was a great idea, so here it is! I also wanted you guys to see Roxas' school life and shtuff, so yea…

Chapter 14

"Come on, get up! It's time for school!" yelled a familiar voice.

Roxas was soundly asleep in his bed on a Thursday morning. His eyes began to slowly flutter themselves open, as he saw Yuffie looking at him with an excited glare.

"Come on! Wake up, will you?! Breakfast is ready, and mom said to hurry downstairs!" she cried.

Roxas sat up, feeling his spine crack a good four times as he did so. He got up and stretched, not really wanting to partake in the day ahead, simply because he wanted to sleep. He noticed Yuffie, she was wearing a white T-Shirt and some pajama pants. Must have been one of the outfits she bought the other day, since it didn't look very familiar.

"Come on, lazy! Rise and shine!"

Yuffie seemed to be on full tank 24/7. Even after she slept. It would only take her ten minutes before she'd be right back to the way she was before. Roxas couldn't help but envy her—for she didn't have to go to school today.

Yuffie skipped out of Roxas' room and went downstairs, ready for breakfast. Roxas didn't feel like taking a shower, so he just "washed up" in the bathroom, which consisted of him rubbing a rag with soap and water over his body, throwing on some deodorant and some cologne to help the smell become a slight facade.

He walked downstairs to see Yuffie, still in her sleeping attire, and Sora, who was fully dressed and ready to go to school. Roxas plumped into the chair that was across from Yuffie.

"You look terrible," Sora said with a sneer. "Didn't get much sleep?"

"No," Roxas admitted. "I was staying up all night thinking about my stupid class project. It's killing me, dude. If I don't get an A on it, I'm screwed for the semester. Like, I can't get a B, or I'll be screwed."

"Jeez, your grades are that bad?" asked Yuffie.

"Only in English class. I suck in that class." Roxas began to whisper to them so that his mother didn't hear him, since she was finishing up their breakfast from behind him. "See, if I don't pass this quarter with at least a D, I'll have to go to summer school."

Yuffie tapped her chin in thought. "Wait, so you only have to get a D to at least pass in schools?"

Roxas shrugged. "That's the way it is."

"D's get diplomas," Sora said with a smirk.

"Yeah, but they don't get degrees," Roxas pitched in. "Plus, I got a date with Nam tonight."

"You sound as if you're disappointed," Sora noticed.

"Don't get me wrong, I love Naminé, it's just that I really want to just go home today and take a nap, but we're going to this restaurant that she's been begging me to take her to, and I…I can't let her down."

"I'm sure she'd understand," Yuffie reasoned.

"Maybe, but…" Roxas said, not finishing his sentence.

Yuffie turned to Sora. "Hey, do you have a date with Kairi tonight?"

"I do, actually," he said as he leaned back in his chair. "We're headed over the mental institution to say hi to a friend of ours, and then tomorrow we're going to Sunset Hill."

"Gosh," Yuffie pouted. "So you both are gonna be out today and tomorrow? That means I'll have to be bored. "Yuffie turned to Sora. "Can I come with you and Kairi to Sunset Hill tomorrow? I wanna see it for myself!"

"Um, you think me and Naminé could tag along too? That sounds like a nice spot to chill."

Sora rubbed the back of his head nervously. Kairi had told him that she was looking forward to it being just the two of them, but these guys were asking him to come along.

"Uh…er, I'll have to think about it, guys. I was kinda hoping that it would have just been me and Kairi, you know?"

"I understand, but just consider it, 'Kay?" Yuffie asked with her puppy dog face, which Sora was having a hard time resisting.

Aerith placed their breakfast on the table. "Okie dokie, here comes breakfast!"

Aerith placed their plates on the table, which was just the usual bacon, eggs, and waffles, but boy did it look yummy. They dove into their food, pleasing their empty stomach. Soon the doorbell rang, leaving the three siblings confused as to who it could be. It definitely wasn't Kairi; she would come a little later than this.

"Ooh! That must be him!" Aerith called out as she skipped over to the door.

Him? Who was "him"? The three were getting a little agitated; don't tell them that some guy was here to fuck their mother!

Aerith opened the door, and it was only Cid Highwind, the P.E teacher from Strife Academy. He was wearing a white T-Shirt that had stains on it, some goggles that were above his forehead, his pants were blue and baggy, and he had an orange waistband wrapped around him (yeah, the same outfit he wore in the first KH game.). He had a toolbox in his right hand and a ladder under his left armpit.

"Howdy, Aerith! I see yer still lookin' mighty fine as usual," Cid flirted.

Aerith blushed slightly. "Oh, stop."

"Mr. Highwind?" asked Sora. Roxas was lost, who was the scary old man hitting on his mother, and why was he here?

"Well well, if it ain't my good-fer-nothin' student, Sora Hikari!"

"Nice to see you too, Mr. Highwind," Sora said without enthusiasm.

"Sarcastic, huh? Whelp, you can give me two hundred push-ups tomorrow since you wanna be a smart ellic!" Cid said.

Sora's shoulders slumped in disbelief as his brother and sister only giggled.

"He's your gym teacher?" asked Yuffie.

"Unfortunately," Sora mumbled, making sure Cid didn't hear him. He didn't need to be doing five hundred push-ups tomorrow.

"Sora, Mr. Highwind and I go a long way back. He used to fix things for my mother all the time when I was your age," Aerith explained.

"That's right!" Cid said. "Yer grand mama was the best customer I ever had; she always paid me in cigarettes."

"You're going to pay him in cigarettes, mom?" asked Roxas.

"No, I don't even smoke," Aerith said. "I'm afraid we'll have to go with the traditional pay," she said with a friendly smile.

"Fine by me. These days I need munny anyways, damn economy screwed everything up."

"Cid!" Aerith said with a gasp. "I will not allow profanity to be said in this household!"

"Sorry about that, ma'am, force of habit," Cid apologized. This was the first time Sora had ever seen his teacher look like a gentleman at all. At school, Cid didn't take crap from anybody, not even the principal, but Aerith just handled Cid like a pro. Perhaps because he was a family friend that Sora didn't even know about.

"Wait a second, how come nobody told me about this until now, mom?" asked Sora.

Aerith shrugged. "You never asked."

Sora's head dropped. His mother was such a ditz at times.

"Cid's here to work on Yuffie's room for us," Aerith explained. One could tell she was really excited. After all, she was about to help set-up her daughters future room. Aerith used her finger to gesture at Cid. "Come on, Ciddie! I'm gonna work you hard!"

Cid blushed very slightly and nodded. "Yes, ma'am."

Aerith headed upstairs, Cid was about to as well, but Sora chimed in. "Mr. Highwind, are you blushing?"

Cid turned back to Sora with a scowl that could make a person want to crawl under a rock. "That's eight hundred push-ups fer you, Hikari!" With that, Cid tugged his way upstairs with the items he had in his hands.

Sora groaned, causing Roxas and Yuffie to chuckle. Sora made a note to himself, never talk to Cid. Sora soon finished his breakfast, and then the doorbell rang, which was most likely Kairi.

Sora waved Roxas and Yuffie off, heading to the door and walking off to school with his girlfriend. That left only Yuffie and Roxas.

"Aren't you glad Sora and Kairi seem so happy with each other?" Yuffie said, watching Sora and Kairi walk together from the window behind her.

"I guess," Roxas responded, even though it wasn't like it was a huge thing to him. He knew Kairi and his brother would hook up eventually.

Yuffie looked at Roxas with admiration. "Hey, what school do you go to?"

"I go to Twilight High."

"You and Sora don't share the same school?"

"Nah, I would go to Strife Academy, but I'm in the tenth grade, so it's a little too late to be switching schools now."

"Sora and Kairi go to Strife Academy, don't they?" she asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because," Yuffie said with a grin. "I'm going to Strife Academy!"

"That's cool," said Roxas. "You'll get to hang out with Sora and Kairi, congrats. But I'm a little confused, I mean, you've skipped out on more than half of your school career, why are you going to school in the first place?"

"I wanna see what it's like, to go to school…it might be fun," Yuffie said while looking out the window. Roxas smiled, knowing how disappointed she'd be to find out that school was just a big bore fest, but he didn't want to burst her bubble. Roxas looked at the time on his phone.

"Oh crap, I'd better get going, later Yuffie."

Roxas got up and ran out the door.

"See ya!" Yuffie called back.

Roxas made it to his bus stop just in time and got on. He paid his bus fair and sat down in the back. He stole his brother's iPod, but it wasn't like Sora was going actually use it, since he had Kairi now. Roxas decided he'd go on and take it so that he wouldn't have to be completely bored. Roxas hated being on the bus. It was extremely uncomfortable for him. A lot of the seats were sticky and there might be gum on the windows, and you might end up sitting next to someone who smelt like rotten cheese and looked like a hobo.

He wished he could get on the same bus as Sora and Kairi, since their bus was always clean.

Eventually, he made it to Twilight High, which was going to be a break of fresh air for him, not wanting to be in this gross bus any longer. He got out of the bus and walked out.

He looked up at Twilight High, which was a fairly big school. It wasn't as big as Strife Academy, but it was still a great landscape. He decided to go ahead inside, where everybody was giving the boy high fives and the girls were all waving at him. Roxas was pretty popular at his school.

He soon came up to a close friend of his, Terra. They did their bro handshake. Terra usually went to play basketball with him and Sora from time to time (as seen in Chapter 4).

"What's up, man?" asked Terra.

"Nothing much," Roxas responded.

"Did you get the notes done for the English project?"

"Yeah yeah yeah…" Roxas said, not wanting to talk about that stupid English project at all honestly.

"Dude you know that if we don't get an A on this project, you're totally—"

"Screwed, I know. Can we not have this conversation right now?" Roxas asked irritably.

"Hey, I'm just giving you a fair heads up," Terra responded. "Anyway, have you seen Zack anywhere?"

"Nah, I just got here. Why?"

"That fucker owes me like a hundred munny!" Terra was always super serious about his munny. Roxas was beginning to wonder if he was Jewish.

"Chill out, what the hell do you need a hundred munny for anyway?"

"It's in my car fund. I'm savin' up for a convertible."

"You do that."

"When I get that car, it's gonna be heaven for you and me, bro! Driving off to the club, double dating…"

"You don't even have a girlfriend."

"Yeah? Well…shut up."

Roxas rolled his eyes. Eventually the two best friends made it to class. Terra liked hanging out with Roxas because he reminded him of a friend Terra had way back when he was only thirteen years old. His name was Ventus and he looked identical to Roxas. Like—exactly like him. They had different personalities, but that's beside the point. Terra and Roxas had been hanging out a lot since their freshman year, a.k.a, last year.

Roxas and Terra sat down in their seats, waiting for the bell to ring and for class to start. A girl came up to Roxas, looking a little nervous as she twirled her hair. Roxas chuckled at the sight, since Naminé always did that as well.

"Can I help you?" asked Roxas in a respectful tone. He was known for being quite the gentleman.

"Hi—um," the girl looked back at her friends looking kind of nervous. But they shooed her to keep going and cheered her on. She turned back to Roxas with a nervous look on her face. "My name is Serah Farron, um, I was wondering—um, if uh—you'd like to uh—go out some time, heh heh…" She looked really nervous.

Roxas found her pretty cute, but Naminé was the only one for him.

"Sorry, but I have a girlfriend," Roxas said sympathetically.

Serah's expression fell. "Oh, okay…"

Terra got up from his seat. "Hey, don't worry. Roxas may have a girlfriend, but I'm available. I can take you out on a world you've never been to before. How about I take you out?"

Serah looked pretty shy, and she curved some hair in her face behind her ear. "Um, sure," she said with a smile.

"Awesome, I'll call you. What's your number?" Terra asked. He pulled out his phone and gave it her. She gave him her digits in his contacts list and gave his phone to him with a smile plastered on her face.

"I'll be looking forward to it," Serah said as she made her way back to her friends.

"Likewise," Terra said. Terra was another one who was popular with the ladies.

"Smooth, bro," Roxas said as he and Terra shared another bro handshake.

"Thanks. I'm not too shabby myself. Looks like we really can double date now."

"Thanks, but I'll pass."

"AW! How come?!"

"I've been busy, okay? I'm working on something very important."

"Oh yeah? What's that?"

"Nothing, it's not important."

"Tell me."

"No."

"Why?"

"It's embarrassing."

"C'mon bro, we're best buds. You can't keep these things from me."

"Oh yes I can."

"Tell me!"

"No!"

"TELL ME!"

"NO!"

"TELL ME!"

"Ugh, fine!" Roxas sighed. "I've been working on my dancing, okay? My brother has been teaching me some moves at home every day. Happy now?"

"Oh, Roxas…you were right…"

Roxas curved a brow. "About what?"

"That is embarrassing! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Roxas slumped over his desk. He knew Terra would have this kind of reaction.

"Roxas, you can't dance. It's that plain and simple."

Roxas scowled at him. "I can dance!"

Terra stifled his laughter. "Okay, let's pretend you can dance, what's the point?"

"None of your business…"

A shoulder placed itself on Roxas' shoulder. It couldn't have been Terra, since he was right in front of him, so it could only have been…

"What's up, party people?!" It was Zack Fair, the third and final member of their group.

"Hey Zack…" Roxas said. He liked Zack but damn was he annoying as shit.

"So what's going on? Did I miss anything?" asked Zack.

"I just got some digits," Terra responded.

"Whoaaaaaa! Way to go, dude!" Zack said, giving Terra a thumbs up.

"Man, I need to get a girlfriend, I feel left out now…"

"You can't get a girlfriend," Roxas said.

Zack stomped out of irritation. "Yeah, why's that?"

"Because you don't know how to sweet talk," Terra answered.

"I do too!" Zack growled. "Watch and learn, boys." Zack walked up to a group of girls and put on his "cool" face. "Hey ladies, you guys wanna fuck?"

The girls started screaming out of fear for such an odd request. Soon enough, a girl tapped Zack on the shoulder from behind.

"ZACK!" It was Lightning, the class representative. "You PERVERT!" She whacked him on the back of his head. She did this almost regularly for his perverted-ness and his stupid schemes.

Zack trudged his way back to his friends and slumped down in the seat next to Roxas.

"See? You can't get a girlfriend," Roxas said with a smirk.

"Shut up, will ya?" Zack scoffed. "I don't get it, how come the ladies love you guys and not me? What do you guys have that I don't?"

"We're not perverts," Terra responded. "You have to be a gentleman with women, bro. You can't just go up to a girl and be like 'nice melons' and think she's going to be interested."

"Ah, what do you know?" Zack stubbornly responded.

"Anyway, where's my munny?" asked Terra.

"Oh, yeah, see what had happened was…" Zack's favorite excuse.

Terra sighed. "Bro, if you don't get it to me by tomorrow, I'll freaking kill you." He said it so casually too.

"Whoa, whoa! Chill out, dude! I swear I'll bring it tomorrow!" He's said that literally eleven times.

Finally, the bell rang, and the teacher came walking in. It was Mr. Valentine. Despite being absolutely harmless, nobody liked him in the school. Nobody had any respect for a teacher who couldn't stand up for himself.

"Hello, students. Nice morning today isn't it? I guess you little chippers are going to be partying for this Halloween, huh? Woot woot!" He always tried to make his students laugh so that he could get on their good side, but they never laughed. They all just stared at him as if he were some kind of idiot.

"Yeah, nobody laughed, so…" Zack said, earning a couple chuckles from the rest of his classmates. Zack would be a lot more popular at the school since he's pretty much the class clown, but he's just too perverted.

Mr. Valentine tugged on his collar. "Yes, well…I see that perhaps my preference in comedic outlets is different then you all's I suppose." He chuckled nervously.

The class just stared at him for another agonizing ten seconds before they all just started throwing paper balls and pencils at him.
"You suck!" Zack yelled.

Roxas felt bad for the poor guy, but he had to agree with his peers on this one. Mr. Valentine needed to learn how to step up his game.

Eventually class ended, where the students all ignored Mr. Valentine throughout the entire period, just talking amongst themselves. Roxas, Terra, and Zack were all headed to class, but as they passed the cafeteria, Zack's mouth started watering. "Hey guys, I'll be in English class in a sec, don't wait up!" he yelled as he ran into the cafeteria.

"Jeez, what's wrong with him?" asked Terra.

Beats Roxas. Zack was always getting into shenanigans that he and Terra had to always help him out with. Hopefully this wasn't going to be one of those times. Terra and Roxas made it to English class, but Zack never showed for the first full ten minutes of the bell.

This was worrying Roxas. What if Zack got into some more trouble? It'd be his problem now and it might interfere his date with Naminé.

Eventually, Zack busted into class with a sandwich in hand. "Sorry, Mrs. Lulu! I just, had to get something to eat, y'know?"

"Is that right?"

"I swear I'll be on time tomorrow!" He won't.

"Is this what you plan on doing with your life, Zachary? Making a fool out of yourself?"

"Hey, that's not a snazzy thing to say…"

"You used to go to Strife Academy, didn't you?"

"Yeah, but I got kicked out. Some loser accused me of raiding the cafeteria, and I didn't do it!" He was actually telling the truth this time.

"I see, and what have you been doing to accommodate your mistakes at this school, huh? Absolutely nothing."

"I have been doing lots of things at this school. Like, y'know," he eyed his turkey and mayonnaise sandwich. "Eatin' sandwiches…"

The class chuckled, but Mrs. Lulu gave up. "Anyway, I hope all of you have been progressing well on your projects. You still have a week, so don't pressure yourselves just yet." She looked at her class, and they all seemed to be too innocent for their own good. "None of you have even started on it yet, have you?"

The class shared guilty glances. "No," they all replied.

"Of course," she sighed while rolling her eyes. "You all had better get started then." Inevitably, nobody in the class used their time wisely, and just talked throughout the entire bell. The school was filled with laziness.

Roxas and Zack headed to their next class, but unfortunately, Terra didn't share this one with them, so they went their separate ways.

Zack and Roxas sat next to each other in the next class, which was their science teacher, Mr. Pomple (yea, made 'im up).

"Okay class, I think you should know I have arranged a field trip for next Tuesday."

The class cheered out of excitement, they never got to go on field trips too much.

"To Ansem Lee's Research Facility."

The class "aww'd" from the disappointment.

"Yep, you're all in High School now. So the days where you used to go to zoo back in fifth grade are over." Mr. Pomple passed out the permission slips to all of the students, much to his dismay. Zack slumped in his chair.

"Ugh, don't need this bullshit." Zack crumpled up his permission slip and shot it into the air, landing it right into the trash can.

A student raised their hand. "Uh, Mr. P…"

"Yes?"

"How long will we be gone on Tuesday?"

"The whole day of course."

Zack's eyes widened when he heard that, and he sat up in his desk. "You mean we won't have to go to any of our classes?"

"That would be correct."

The class all cheered at the much more positive news. Zack ran out of his chair and went into the trash can to get his crumpled permission form and opened it back up. He ran up to Mr. Pomple and placed an arm around him.

"Mr. Pom Pom, I just wanna let you know that you're my new favorite teacher!"

Mr. Pomple sighed out of annoyance. "Charmed…"

Finally, the day had ended and Roxas was on his way back home on the bus. School always tired Roxas out; it was just a pain in the back, especially with Zack around. Roxas walked up to the front porch, where he saw Sora and Yuffie waiting for him on the steps.

"Why are you home so early?" asked Roxas to Sora.

"Early dismissal. Nam just wanted us to let you know to hurry on up and get over there," Sora explained.

Roxas almost forgot about his date with Naminé. Sora was a life saver.

"C'mon, we'll go over there together," Sora suggested. Roxas nodded. The three siblings walked next door after Roxas set his stuff down in his room. Once they made it to the Lockhart's, Sora rang the doorbell. Yuffie gave Roxas a concerned look.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

"Huh?" asked the golden blond boy.

"You just seem kinda quiet, that's all."

"I'm just tired…"

Soon enough, the door was answered, by none other than Axel.

"Hey-hey! If it isn't my two little sisters boyfriends! Nice to see you!" Axel said. He then put his arms around Sora and Roxas and gave them the evil eyes. "Just remember, if you do anything that hurts my little sisters, I'll rip your jaws off, pile drive into your intestines, slit your throats, cut your dicks off, dislocate your shoulders, break your bones so bad that the marrow comes out, and then sell your body to the devil." What made it so scary was that he said it so nonchalant.

Axel then mugged the two boys non-threateningly as he stepped in his house. "Kairi, Nam! Your good-for-nothing boyfriends are here!"

Axel gave Sora and Roxas one more scowl while doing the 'I'm watching you' signal. Kairi and Naminé soon came speeding down to meet with their others. Kairi gave Sora a big hug as soon as she saw him.

"I missed you!" she squealed.

Sora chuckled. "Kai, it's only been about half an hour."

"That's long enough!" Kairi retorted.

Naminé giggled. "Well Sora, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Kairi can't stop talking about you. She talks about you more than she did with Riku."

Kairi blushed out of embarrassment and she turned to Naminé. "Shut up, Nam!"

Everybody chuckled at Kairi's reaction.

Kairi sighed and turned back to Sora. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah, sure," Sora said as he and Kairi walked off into the distance, Yuffie following close behind.

"Later, gaters!" Yuffie said, directed at Roxas and Naminé. The blonde couple waved back.

Naminé sighed out of relief. She went up to Roxas and gave him a kiss. "Hey, baby," she greeted. Roxas was the only boy she was comfortable enough with to say a pet name to.

"Hey," he greeted back. "Missed those lips of yours."

Naminé rolled her eyes, a smile on her face. "We just kissed each other like yesterday."

"That's way too long! That's like—twenty four hours of me being Naminéless!"

Naminé giggled. "So, where to?"

Roxas raised a brow. "I thought you wanted to go to Sunset Sanctuary today." Sunset Sanctuary was the restaurant she wanted to go to.

"That's boring. And I'm not even hungry today, for whatever reason."

"Then what do you wanna do?"

"Ooh ooh ooh! Can we go to the museum?"

"Museum? But we just went to the museum not all that long ago," Roxas said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Pleeeeeeeassse, sweetie? I've been dying to go back since like forever!"

Roxas sighed. He knew he couldn't resist going against her wishes. He loved her too much. "Fine," he relented.

Naminé was filled with excitement, and she took his hand and dragged him off in the direction in which the museum was. Roxas wished she'd slow down every once in a while, but you mention anything about anything that has anything to do with art, and anything can happen with Naminé.

The couple took a bus to the museum.

"Boy, is it me, or do you get the feeling something bad is gonna happen?" asked Naminé.

"It's not just you, I got the same feeling," Roxas answered.

As if on cue, the bus stopped and felt very bumpy, as if they were on some kind of bad road, and it was painfully noticeable, not subtle in the very least. The bus driver parked the car and got out to see what the heck was going on. Soon he came back in, looking a little nervous.

"I'm sorry everybody, but—it seems we got ourselves a flat tire. I'll call around to see if I can get you guys some extra service."

Everybody groaned. Naminé pouted, placing her fists on her chin. "Aw man! Now we'll never get to the museum…"

Roxas felt bad for her. He knew how bad she wanted to go, and how much she adored art. Roxas wrapped an arm around his girlfriend and gave her a warm smile.

"Oh well, at least I have you," Naminé said as she cuddled into him.

Soon the bus driver walks in front of the passengers, rubbing the back of his head. "Uh—I am deeply sorry, but we don't have any other number 13 buses available for use. I'm so, so sorry for the inconvenience, but there's nothing more I can do."

After complaining for ten minutes, the passengers decided to get off of the bus. Roxas and Naminé had to make their way on foot, which really stunk for them. The museum was like a thirty minute walk from where they were, so they decided it'd be best to go home. They could go off to Terra's house, which wasn't too far from where they were.

"What a day, huh?" asked Roxas.

"Yeah," Naminé said, feeling melancholic.

Roxas didn't know what to do, he didn't want to see her so sad, but what could he do to cheer her up?

"Hey," Roxas said, catching her attention. "It's not so bad, things could always be worse."

Naminé smiled. "Yeah, I suppose." She put her hand out, gesturing him to take it, and he obliged. They pressed on while holding hands, but soon stopped as a thug busted his way out of a window of a bakery. The thug ran for his life to get away from the crime scene, and the owner of the store ran out the store, throwing his fist into the air.

"You thief! Get back here!" he screamed.

Naminé got close to Roxas, being a little frightened by the sudden turn of events. Roxas was angry, he hated seeing thugs get away with their wrong doings. Naminé noticed the look in Roxas' eye, not liking it much at all.

"Roxas, what are you thinking?" she asked.

"I think I'm going to do something." With that, Roxas ran.

"Baby, no!" Naminé yelled. If anything happened to Roxas, she would just be in a hole that would be tough to get out of.

"Don't worry, old man! I got 'im for ya!" Roxas said to the store owner as he sprinted passed him. Roxas landed on a nearby skateboard that was lying around and began skating his way down to the thief. Roxas whisked past bystanders, trying his best to avoid hitting anybody, so he had to pull off some kickflips and 360 spins. Roxas used to skateboard when he was in the fourth grade, and did it until the eighth, but he stopped in the favor of dancing.

Roxas looked all over the blooming place, and it seemed that the thug got away for a second, but fortunately he found the thug riding on a bicycle he most likely stole as well. Roxas sped up next to the thug, giving him a grimace look.

"Stealing from stores and taking bikes, is this how you get your kicks?" Roxas teased, although he had a very serious look on his face.

"Back off!" the thug said. He sped up, trying to get Roxas off his butt, but Roxas wouldn't let up. Even when the thug tried doing complicated things like going through alleyways, going under bridges, cars, it didn't matter, Roxas kept finding ways to retaliate and keep up with the criminal.

Roxas had enough of this chasing crap, and decided to stop this guy for good. Roxas stepped on the front of the skateboard, which propelled him into the air. He dove straight towards the thug, but the thug was too fast and did a quick 360 with the bike, knocking Roxas back. It was obvious the thug was some kind of pro at riding a bike. The punk chuckled as he made his escape from Roxas, but when he looked forward, he saw a girl in a white tank top giving him a very threatening look. The thug halted. He may be a criminal, but he wasn't cruel. He was just trying to provide for himself.

"Outta my way, girly! Wouldn't wanna run you over!" he said.

Naminé wasn't letting up. She marched up to the thug and clenched her fist. She pulled back, and whacked the thug straight in the face, knocking him off the bike and hitting him hard enough to make him go unconscious.

"Don't you ever think you're going to do that to my boyfriend and get away with it!" she yelled at the unconscious soul.

Roxas saw the whole thing, having to admit, he was slightly turned on. Since when did Naminé become so…like—awesome! And where did she learn to throw a punch like that? Roxas got up and cracked his back. Naminé was smiling at him, and tossed him the bag of money the thief stole.

"How'd you get here so fast?" asked Roxas.

Naminé pointed to the scooter over by the sidewalk. "I asked the store owner if I could borrow it, and I followed you guys. But when it started to get intense, I decided I'd take a shortcut. I had a feeling he'd some here to Limit Street, since it's close to downtown, which I'd suspected to be a popular place for criminals to lose the police in, even though we're not the police, but still. So I came here."

Roxas was dumbstruck. He couldn't help but think he was the luckiest guy in the world: Kind-hearted, sexy, and smart? It just didn't get much better. Roxas walked up to Namine and took her in his arms, looking into her eyes. "Have I ever told you that you're amazing?"

Naminé flicked him on the nose. "Maybe—once or twice," she replied with a cute smile. The police soon came, and Roxas asked if they could deliver the skateboard, bicycle, and scooter back to the store owner, which the cops felt that sounded reasonable. They thanked Roxas and Naminé for their bravery, and took the criminal into custody. Roxas and Naminé decide to continue pressing on, and then it hit them: they should have asked the police to give them a ride. It was too late now, the cops were long gone, so they had no choice but to walk.

"Man…" Naminé said. "That was enough excitement for today."

Roxas twiddled his thumbs. "Hey, I'm sorry how this whole day turned out, I know you must be disappointed but—"

"Disappointed?" Naminé interrupted. "Roxas, I haven't felt such a rush in such a long time! That was a lot of fun and it was really exciting!"

Roxas held onto his heart, feeling relief. He thought Naminé was having a terrible time with him.

"Since when were you so adventurous?" Roxas asked.

"You can blame my sister," Naminé answered. Roxas chuckled.

After conversing about random things for the next fifteen minutes and walking endlessly, Naminé began to feel fatigue become prominent in her body, and she started stumbling.

"Nam, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay, just—just a little tired, is all…"

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

Roxas didn't believe her for a second. Naminé wasn't involved with chase scenes on a daily bases, after all. She had to be exhausted from all of that. If only they went to the stupid restaurant, maybe this would've never happened. It was exciting, sure, but look where they were now. Deserted, and not too sure where to go. They were just praying that they were making their way to Tram Cannon, since it was close to where they lived.

Naminé eventually gave in and fell onto her knee, trying to hold herself up.

"Nam, what's wrong?"

"I-I'm fine, don't worry about me, Roxie," Naminé answered. Roxas rolled his eyes. He knew his girlfriend really was exhausted, just like he thought. Naminé noticed that it felt like she was in the air, and she began to panic. But when she opened her eyes, she found that it was only the fact that Roxas had picked her up, giving her a piggyback ride. "Roxie…"

Roxas gave her a smirk. "I knew you were tired. Don't worry, I don't mind. Just relax, okay?"

Naminé was about to protest, but she decided not to. She knew that if Roxas put his mind on something, he was determined to do it, and there was no stopping him. She nodded and accepted Roxas' choice. He began trudging along with his girlfriend on his back. As time flew by, the more she became more comfortable on Roxas' back. She started feeling a little drowsy, then her eyes started getting heavier, and soon she was sleepy.

Naminé yawned like a little kid and rested her head on Roxas as if he were a soft pillow. Roxas chuckled at Naminé, she was just so cute. He was a lucky guy, he wondered if he even deserved her. The way he hooked up with her wasn't very romantic either. He's always felt ashamed for the way they got together, since it lacked all levels of luster.

"Dare," he answered. "I don't want to be the only one who didn't say dare."

"About fucking time, bro," Sora said.

Sora had to think for a second. He wasn't good at making up dares. He looked at Yuffie. "Yuffie, help me out a little bit."

Yuffie whispered in Sora's ear, and he nodded in agreement. "Of course. That should have been obvious."

From the way Sora agreed, it seemed like the dare wasn't going to be evil or malicious, but the other three were still a little uneasy. It was Yuffie's suggestion, after all.

"Roxas, I dare you to kiss Naminé and ask her to be your girlfriend," Sora winked at his brother.

Roxas and Naminé blushed. Roxas couldn't believe this, why was he so nervous around Naminé? He was never like this around any other girl before. What was so special about her? It had to be more than just her dazzling looks. In any case, Roxas wasn't about to refuse this dare for anything in the world right now.

"Naminé..." Roxas started, looking at her blue glistening eyes. "Be my girlfriend?"

Naminé smiled, putting a hand on his cheek, and pressed her lips onto his. Roxas was in heaven. Her lips were so moist and tasted like vanilla.

Roxas was never proud of the fact that he and Naminé got together by a stupid dare by his brother. How pathetic can it get? Oh well, as long as they got together, he was alright. Roxas felt her hot breath against his neck. He began to wonder, what if he ended up marrying Naminé? The thought alone made him feel very good about himself. Waking up to a beauty like Naminé would be just what he would need to get through life.

Roxas came across a forest. It looked a little shady in there, but he had nowhere else to go. He tugged himself through the forest. It was very dark in there, and the only light was the little sparkles of sun that shone through the trees. Roxas had to admit, it was a little creepy, but it was bearable. Eventually, Roxas made his way up to a mansion (Yep, the old mansion in KH2. Reference Alert). It had a big gate in front of it, but the lock on it had been broken off, allowing entry inside if one so desired. It looked abandoned and kind of creepy, but still intriguing. Roxas always had a thing for creepy and abandoned places. They always had some kind of mystery waiting to be discovered.

Roxas decided to go in. He walked up to the front door and used his foot to kick it open. The mansion's lobby was eerie. There were two stairways that led to two different rooms, the left and the right. In the middle was a glass window that showed the backyard, which had lots of grass piled up back there due to being unattended for a considerable amount of time. Roxas decided to take the left side of the stairs. He had to admit, he was a little spooked. Every corner of the place just looked like a monster might just jump out at him and Naminé at any second, but there wasn't much choice in the matter. It was either stay here in the, hopefully abandoned mansion, or—walk in an endless cycle leading to nowhere. He'll take choice number one, please, no receipt needed.

Roxas walked into the room, and was surprised to find an empty room. Yet, it was so very beautiful. Every single thing in this room…was white, Naminé's favorite color. The table was white, the chairs were white, even the window had a white curtain. It almost looked as if the room were made for Naminé.

Roxas sat his sleeping Naminé into a chair by the table. She looked so peaceful, as if she belonged here. The sight looked like it came straight out of a painting. Roxas looked out the window, peering out of the curtains. It really was a beautiful sight. The forest didn't look so creepy from this point of view.

"Comfy?" asked a familiar voice. It was definitely Naminé. Roxas smirked. He turned around.

"Funny, I feel like I should be asking you that." But something struck him…yes, he was talking to Naminé, but he was seeing double! Yes, Roxas was seeing two Naminé's in the room, and he was freaked out! Did he finally go insane? Or did he just fall in love with Naminé so hard that he ended up seeing two of them? "N-N-Naminé?!" he asked.

The second Naminé nodded. "Yes, it's me…Roxas."

This Naminé looked identical to his girlfriend, who was still asleep in the chair, except she had on a plain white lace dress with light blue sandals.

"Why am I seeing two of you?" asked the freaked out Roxas.

"Roxas…don't be afraid." Easier said than done. "I am Naminé, yes, but I am from a different universe. In that universe, I am nothing more than a nobody, one who was never meant to exist, and in that world, you are my other."

"Other…?"

None of this was making a lick of sense. Who was this girl claiming to be Naminé from another universe, and what did she want? Was she even telling the truth? She was lying, she had to be! This was too ridiculous.

No…she couldn't be lying. The resemblance to Naminé was uncanny. You know how when you see twins and even though they look just alike, you can still notice little subtle differences between them? This wasn't like that, there was no difference between the two Naminé's, besides their attire of course. They were the same girl, alright, they even had the same voice, and boy was it a freaky sight to see.

"Roxas, please, take a seat," Naminé suggested.

Roxas hesitantly did so, sitting next to his girlfriend. Should he even trust her? She seemed harmless enough, and she was Naminé after all. His Naminé was still asleep, blissfully unaware of what was going on.

"Roxas," Naminé began as she took a seat across the table. "As I said, I am a Naminé from a different universe. I recently gained the ability to go to different universes, I usually do it when Kairi is asleep. I don't want her to worry."

"Kairi? There's a Kairi in your universe?"

"Yes."

"Does that mean there's another Sora?"

"Yes."

"What about Yuffie, Aerith, Zack, Terra, or Serah?"

"Yes. Well, everyone except for that last one. I don't know if there are any Serah's in my world."

"And…is there another…me?"

"Yes."

Roxas was intrigued. No way was this real. "I see…"

"Would you like to know your role in the other universe…Roxas?"

Roxas wasn't sure. If he found out that his other self was dead or something, it wouldn't be a very pleasant experience. "Sure…"

"I guess I should explain the universe itself then. You see, it's not an average place. It's not like the world you live in now."

"What do you mean?"

"There are many different worlds in existence there, and one can travel there in a vessel if it is desired. One day, many years ago, the worlds fell to darkness, and it only was up to one boy to save the worlds from plunging into an abyss of darkness by sealing the keyholes, locking these creatures called the heartless out."

"And who's the person who did all of this?"

Naminé smiled. "It was you, of course."

"Me?" Roxas suddenly felt super badass even though it wasn't really him who did it, but still he had a chance of accomplishing a feat, right? Okay, maybe not, but still… "That's pretty awesome."

"Well…it was you, but only in a way. You see, when a person in that universe loses their heart, a heartless is born. But if that person's will is strong, a creature called a nobody is born, and it doesn't matter if you're evil or good, dark or light."

"So, what's your point?"

"In the other world…you are a nobody, Roxas."

Roxas' eyes widened. What a weird thing to say to somebody. "Um…"

"And you're Sora's nobody. Sora was the one who sealed the keyholes, and he sacrificed himself for Kairi, so that her heart would return to her. That's when you were born."

"So…I'm just some sort of backup boy?"

"I wouldn't say that, more like…the other half of Sora," she said with a smile. "Sora is the savior of the universe in the other world. He's saved the worlds from falling to darkness twice, and he's made countless friends along the way. He's such a cheerful person, it's hard not to smile when he's around."

Roxas chuckled. He couldn't imagine his clumsy twin brother being the savior of the universe. "So wait…I'm not a total badass in the other universe?"

"Well—um, I guess not. If by that you mean sealing the keyholes and saving the universe twice…no."

Roxas slumped with slight disappointment. Of course his brother overshadowed him.

"I'm sorry. But if it makes you feel better, you do play a very important role."

"What role is that?" he asked with anticipation.

Naminé closed one eye and put a finger up in a teasing fashion. "It's a secret," she giggled.

Roxas was comfortable for whatever reason. She may be a different Naminé, but she was still Naminé.

"Can you tell me how other people are in the other universe?"

"Like who in particular?"

"My—my mother, Aerith."

"Aerith, hm? I haven't seen her too much, or come into contact with her much either, but one time, when I first met Sora, I was forced to rearrange his memories, and when I did, it seemed he had no relation with Aerith. They were only friends and helped fight the heartless together."

"Man, me and my mom being 'friends' with Sora, that's something I can't see. What's she like in that universe?"

"Well, she's very optimistic about lots of things, but she's a bit reserved and cares for people a lot."

"Well, it kinda sounds like my mom, but my mom is far from reserved. Heh heh."

"Hm, a lot of personalities can change through the span of universes. For example, you seem very cheerful in this universe. Where I come from, you're not exactly the most pleasant of people."

"Huh?"

"You kind of have a bad temper, and it's because you hold all of Sora's anger. You are his other half, after all."

"Okay, I get it," Roxas said. "What about Kairi? What's she like?"

"Kairi…you know how you're Sora's other half? Well, I'm Kairi's other half."

"Wait, so that means…"

"Yes, I'm a nobody as well. When Kairi was living at her island, she was very kind-hearted, courageous, and not afraid to speak her mind. But after I changed the memories that were linked in Sora, she forgot about him. So she became a little more reserved and wise with Sora gone."

"Oh man, did she ever remember Sora?" Roxas asked. He was genuinely concerned. Perhaps since he could only imagine the Sora and Kairi that he knew being in this situation, and he didn't like the sound of it.

Naminé giggled. "Yes, she did."

"That's good," Roxas said with a sigh. "What about Terra and Zack? Do you know anything about them?"

"I'm sorry, I know that they do exist, but I don't know much about either of them at all."

"Oh, that's okay," Roxas smiled. "So, Naminé…" It was weird calling another girl Naminé, even though it was Naminé, just another version of her. "What brings you here anyway? Why are you here?"

"Ever since I learned my ability to travel across different dimensions, I've been going to countless different realities, seeing what it's like…to see myself having a regular, ordinary life. It's been a lot of fun, actually."

"I wish I could do something like that," Roxas admitted.

"It is a nice pastime, I must say. And I have to say, it is nice to see you and I together in these universes, Roxas."

"So you're saying, we're together in countless different universes?"

"Yes. And so is Sora and Kairi."

Roxas smiled and took a look at the Naminé who was asleep…his Naminé. It was nice to know that they were together in multiple universes, it just proved they were meant to be together.

"Of course, there have been lots of other pairings in these universes. Like you and Kairi, or Sora and Tifa—"

"Sora and Tifa? That's Naminé's mom!"

Naminé shrugged with a smile on her face. "It gets really weird. Some universes show me and Riku together, or me and Sora."

Roxas didn't like the thought of his brother being with Naminé. If that were to ever happen, he'd have to be forced to kill his brother. Roxas gave Naminé a look.

"So, are you and me together in your universe?"

Naminé put a finger to her chin. "Hmm…I guess you could say that," she said with a smile. "I'm not sure if you would say we're together, such as how you and the Naminé of this universe are, but I think one day we will. I can tell."

"You like that Roxas?"

"Yes. I like him very much," Naminé looked like she was glowing.

"That's good," Roxas responded with a smile of his own.

"Right now, Sora and Riku are preparing for a Keyblade War, seven lights and thirteen darkness's. I'm sure that Sora will be able to find the answer. He's the hero of light, after all."

Roxas nodded. "Yeah. I'll be rooting for him over here. And not just him, but you, Kairi, my mom, Zack, Terra, Yuffie…" Roxas took a look at his own hand. "Roxas…and everyone else involved."

Naminé nodded. "And I'll be cheering for you and the Naminé of this world."

"Likewise."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure, of course."

Naminé blushed slightly. "Do you…do you like the me of this universe?"

Roxas took a look at his sleeping girlfriend. Like? He was debating it, whether he really liked her, or just was in-love with her. Love was a strong feeling, and it's something that teenagers like him don't know much about. Love is a strong word to say, but like wasn't strong enough. If you round the equation, then…he'd have to say…yes. "Not just like. I think I'm falling in love with the you of this universe. I hope that doesn't sound weird or creepy for you?"

"No, it doesn't at all. In fact, it's quite refreshing. It gives me hope that you feel the same about me in my own universe."

"Well, I'm sure the me in the other universe loves you very much."

"I'm glad you feel that way," Naminé smiled.

Naminé stood up and walked over to the other Naminé, the one that was asleep. She caressed her sleeping face. "She's very pretty, isn't she?"

"You look just like her, you know?"

"Oh—I don't consider myself very pretty…I think Kairi is much prettier than me," she said shyly. Roxas only smirked. This Naminé was just as modest as his was.

Naminé gave Roxas a caring look as she placed her arms behind her back. "Well, I'd best be off, back to my own universe. If Kairi woke up, and I wasn't there, she'd get worried."

"Good luck, then," Roxas encouraged.

"You too," Naminé responded. "But before I go, I just need to ask you something…are you truly in-love with Naminé?"

Roxas nodded. "Yeah, I really am."

Naminé placed a hand on Roxas' shoulder. "Well, if I'm anything like the Naminé of this world, I just want you to know that she loves you more than anything else in the world. Okay? More than anything."

"I can say the same," Roxas admitted.

"Okay, well, this has been fun. But I have to be going."

"Yeah, I guess we should be going, too."

"I'm sorry I had to cut this a little short, but I would like doing this again sometime."

Roxas nodded. "It's a promise."

Naminé smiled back. "Now Roxas, I need you to close your eyes, please."

Roxas did as told. It wasn't like she gave him any reason not to trust her.

"Goodbye, Roxas. Naminé is a lucky girl."

Roxas soon opened his eyes, and she was gone. He was all by himself. Well, not really, he still had his Naminé. Speaking of her, she started waking up. Her eyes began fluttering open. She rubbed her eyes as she sat up. "Roxas…?"

Naminé was surprised when her lips crashed with Roxas', but she kissed back anyway. Just like how Kairi enjoyed Sora's kisses, Naminé enjoyed Roxas' kisses. Perhaps the Hikari family were just prone to great kissing?

"I love you, Nam," Roxas said.

Naminé smiled. "I love you too, but where is this all coming from?"

Roxas put a finger to his lip. "It's a secret."

Naminé rolled her eyes, but then took in their surroundings. The white room looked beautiful with the sun shining in. "Where are we?"

"Some mansion I found. I thought you could rest here."

"This room…for some reason it's very soothing for me." Naminé got up and walked to the window, opening it up and allowing the breeze to flow in, caressing her hair. It looked like a scene out of some romance film, it was that dramatic. "It's beautiful…"

Not as beautiful as you, Nam, Roxas thought.

"Come on, I think it's best we get out of here, though. Our mom's will start getting worried if we don't get home."

"I guess you're right. But I gotta say, I've been enjoying this little runaway adventure with you."

"Same here," he replied.

Roxas and Naminé made their way out of the mansion and through the forest. Roxas couldn't help but think about the other Naminé and all the things they talked about. It was weird, you'd think that the fact that there were tons of other universes in the world would freak Roxas out, but it really didn't. It was too fascinating to be freaky.

Roxas felt pretty special too, probably being the only one in this universe to even know about other universes. The word universe was gonna be stuck in his head for a while too.

Eventually the couple made their way to a wall with a crack in it. They went through it, and were met with the Twilight Town sun, shining down on their faces. It felt warm. They were in Tram Cannon! That could only mean that their street wasn't too far from here.

They went up the Market Street, all the way up to the back alley. They went to the street after that, and there they were, back at Kingdom Key Street. Roxas and Naminé took each other's hands and made their way back down the street until they made it the Lockhart household, where they decided to sit down on the porch and take in the events that happened.

"Isn't it amazing?" Naminé said with a sparkle in her eyes. "Somehow, you and me made it all the way back home without any transportation. We had to use our own legs to get back here. It's actually more satisfying to come home by ourselves like this."

"Yeah, I agree. But uh—hey, I'm sorry that this day didn't exactly turn out the way we expected or wanted it to. I know you were really looking forward to going to the art museum and—"

"Are you kidding?" Naminé interrupted. "I had so much fun today I could hardly stand it! It was the perfect day…because I spent it with you. Any day I get to spend with you alone is perfect."

"Naminé…" The other Naminé was right, she really does love Roxas. It was a warm feeling. Nobody could replace her. She was the best thing he could ever ask for. Roxas and Naminé shared one last kiss, but it was interrupted when the door busted open and Yuffie ran out with some kind of journal in her hand, reading the pages.

"Woo! I got Kairi's diary! I got Kairi's diary!"

Kairi soon ran out, looking a little pissed off. "Get back here you little bitch!"

Sora ran out huffing as well, but he had a smile on his face. He always found Yuffie's antics amusing.

"Yuffie stole Kairi's diary?" Naminé asked.

"Yep, she's a handful, huh?"

"I didn't know Kairi still wrote in diaries. She is fifteen, right?"

Sora shrugged. "I know, it's kinda weird, but I don't see a problem with it." Sora rubbed his nose. "I think it's kinda cute."

Roxas smiled at his brother as he placed his arm around Naminé.

"So, how was the restaurant? Was it fun?" asked Sora.

Roxas and Naminé share a glance, and decided it'd be best they tell the tale another day, especially for Roxas. He learned some heavy knowledge.

"Yeah, it was really fun," Naminé said.

"That's good. C'mon, let's go catch those two jokers," Sora suggested.

Roxas and Naminé agreed, with that, the three walked off as the sun began setting, and they looked in the distance as they saw Kairi chasing after Yuffie. Roxas felt almost refreshed, and the world seemed like such a wondrous place all of a sudden. He felt like everything just seemed more bright, and he was very happy, with himself, with his friends, with his family, and the girl he loved, Naminé, who was walking beside him.

But there was another one. Roxas looked out into the sky and up at the sun. He knew he'd see her again, the other one.

"Thank you, Naminé."

I hope you all liked this, it was kinda hard for me to think of a plot for Roxas and Namine, but I think this one was pretty good :) If there are any other suggestions, let me know, I might do them.

P.S The part where Namine explains all the universes she went through, yeah, if you didn't catch on, the "universes" were fanfics and I pretended to act as if they were the other universe. So if you've made a KH fic, just know...NAMINE HAS SEEN IT! ha ha
