"Two tickets to Sunset Terrace, please," Namine asked nicely at the Ticket Booth.
"Here you go," the woman said, handing Namine and Roxas the tickets, "Free of charge."
"Thank you," Namine noddded and went to the train.
"Hey, Namine?" Roxas asked nervously, "Where are we going?" He looked down at his ticket in curiosity. Sunset Terrace, huh? I wonder what it's like there?
"We're going to Sunset Terrace. You know, sight-seeing. It'll be lots of fun." She smiled assuringly as she stepped into the train, Roxas following suit.
-----------------------------------------------
"Whoa!" Roxas awed when he and Namine arrived at Sunset Terrace, "This place is awesome! But it's like... Deja Vu. Have I been here before?"
Namine nodded. "You just can't remember all that well. You, Hayner, Pence, and Olette came here to work on a school assignment not-so-long-ago."
"How do you know all this stuff?" Roxas looked at Namine suspiciously.
Namine just sighed and started to explain. "You see, unlike you...I wasn't affected by the side-effect of the transformation. Yesterday, you asked Sora to turn us into Somebodies...and he warned us about the risks. You were hasty, and said 'yes' instantly. I only accepted because you were confident. But I guess...you took the biggest hit and lost a bit of your memory."
"Sora?"
"Yeah. He used to be your 'Other', but you wanted to become your own Somebody. He's at the Destiny Islands, along with Riku and my 'Other' Kairi."
Roxas looked down at the ground thoughtfully. "It's all coming back to me. Sora and Kairi...they placed us here in Twilight Town, didn't they?"
Namine nodded excitedly. "Yep."
"I wonder why...?" He seemed to come back into reality and asked, "So...why are we here again?"
Namine laughed in amusement. "You really CAN be empty-minded sometimes. We came here to go sight-seeing. And, there are sayings of the Seven Wonders, but all had seven explanations. Do you remember?"
Roxas looked down at the ground, seeing the steps. Memories flooded him. "Oh yeah! Pence and I were investigating the rumors...and Hayner and Olette collected the rumors. Now I remember!" He smiled happily at Namine.
Namine sadly looked out at Sunset Terrace. "Roxas, those rumors...were true."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The Nobodies-Dusks and such-made all of those weird things happen. Not you...or any pranksters."
Roxas nodded understandingly. "So they were real...cool." He smiled cheesily.
Namine laughed. "So, where do you want to go first? 'Adventurer'?"
Roxas held his chin and thought for a bit. "I remember the tunnel. Hehe. I'd really like to check that place out again. Sounded spooky but it turned out that it was only Vivi practicing his swings."
"Like I said. There are no logic explanations with the Six Wonders...except for the stairs. The rest were made by the Nobodies...or Heartless if possible. I think it's only fair to warn you, though, that a bunch of Nobodies are crawling all around the tunnels." She was about to walk off, but stopped when she felt her arm held back. She looked up at Roxas, confused.
Roxas let Namine go and said, "Never mind. That place is too dangerous. Lets go to Sunset Hill, where the moving bag was."
"Great job, Roxas," Namine cheered quietly, "Your memories are coming back. You'll be your old, hasty self in no time." She giggled and ran off.
"Hey!" Roxas laughed, "What's that supposed to mean?" He ran after the young girl, playfully trying to catch her and tickle her. "Get back here!"
----------------------------------------
Back at the Destiny Islands, Sora and Kairi sat on the sand at the beach, staring out into the ocean. The sun was setting, seagulls flew by, and the waves made its peaceful rhythm.
"Sora?" Kairi asked, "Do you think...that Roxas and Namine are okay?"
Sora looked at Kairi and lit a confident smile. "I'm sure they're alright. I have faith in them."
Kairi giggled. "You prbably got that off a fortune cookie or something."
Sora splashed the auburn-haired girl playfully. "I did not. Hey, even I can act mature, too, y'know. I just...don't show it much, I guess." He placed his arms in back of his head and layed back to relax. "I've grown up."
Kairi giggled again and swayed her slightly damp bangs. "You know what bothers me?" she asked out of the blue.
Sora looked at Kairi. "No...what?"
"When people say 'I love you', but they don't really mean it. They just say it because they just probably like you as a crush...but treat it as love." Kairi looked down at Sora and laughed. "Ehe. Forget it. I don't even know where that topic came from. I'm just bored."
Sora sat up. "But how do you know...if the person who says those three words really means what he/she is saying? They might care a lot more than the ones they love know."
Kairi looked at Sora, her sapphire eyes passive and calm. "Well, I'll know if that one special person for me confesses. I'll know if he means it or not." She smiled.
Sora stared at her for a bit, but realizing what she said, smiled back happily. "That's good to know."
--------------------------------------------
Namine reached the top of the hill, laughing and panting. She turned back and her eyes widened. "Ahhhh-haha!" she squeaked as she felt strong arm encircle her petite body.
"Gotcha!" Roxas exclaimed and started to tickle the female blonde. "Now take back the hasty comment!"
Namine shook her head, small tears appearing at the corner of her eyes. "N-no!" she laughed, "Even if you tickle me to death!" She tried to squirm free, but Roxas held her tight and continued to tickle her. "Ahaha! S-stop!"
Roxas refused and tickled her sides. "Make me!" he taunted.
Namine's eyes snapped open. "Fine!" She tried to move back, but tripped and fell backwards...bringng Roxas down with her. "Oof!" she grunted as she landed.
"You're clumsy!" Roxas laughed, but then trailed off when he realized the position they were in. He looked into her blue eyes deeply.
Namine felt lost in the blue orbs she was staring at. She felt herself sitting up and starting to lean forward a bit...
