'Can you feel Sora?' I keep repeating this, but I don't understand it. Sora... How am I connected to him? Roxas opened his eyes and found that it was already morning. He felt more alive and flexible than ever, but his mind and emotions felt dead. He mechanically sat up and looked out the window. "Twilight Town," he stated to himself. He looked down and found Hayner, Pence, and Olette waving to him. He managed to smile a bit and ran down to greet them.
"You sure did wake up late," Olette remarked, "You slept in the afternoon yesterday, and woke up at eleven." She placed a hand on Roxas' forehead. "Are you sure you're not sick?"
Roxas removed her hand as gently as he could and nodded. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Hayner and Pence asked at the same time. The three surrounded Roxas and showered him with questions asking about his health. "You're not ill, are you?"
Roxas was beyond annoyed. He threw his arms up in the air to part himself from his friends and shouted, "Stop asking me those questions! I'm OKAY! Alright? I'M OKAY!" He shook his head in frustration and ran off to Tram Common. "Don't follow me!"
Hayner, Pence, and Olette cocked their heads to their sides. "What was that all about?" they asked at the same time.

Roxas ran behind a building and panted. Why can't those people just leave me alone? His heart pounded wildly when he saw Namine secretly walk into a hole in the wall. When she disappeared, he followed her. Is she going to that haunted mansion? He arrived at the open gates of the abandoned mansion and looked up at the window. He saw her figure looking down at him and quickly ran inside.
"Namine!" he cried as he barged into the white room. He stopped short and looked at her. He watched her look up from her drawing and asked, "What's going on here?"
Namine stood up and pointed to the floor.
Roxas looked down and gasped as delicate, yet strong glass shaped like flower petals rose from the floor and began to enclose him. He tried to escape, but it was all done within seconds. He was sealed in a transparent capsule. He placed his hands on the glass and looked at Namine worriedly. "Namine, what are you doing?" he asked.
Namine looked at Roxas. He looks exactly like Sora when I did this to him. She moved her lips and whispered softly, "Forgive me, Roxas." She looked at him in the eye intensely.
Roxas felt his mind go numb and his body weaken. His eyes began to droop and he felt as if everything below him had given way. His fingers slowly seperated from the glass and he descended. Not again. If I sleep this much, it'll become a bad habit. His eyes were half way closed, and he saw that everything had gone white. Sora, did this happen to you, too? His eyes completely closed and he felt himself float down in deep, cold water.
In the real world, Namine watched as Roxas slumped in his capsule. He was put into a deep sleep and she felt bad that she was the one responsible for it. He seemed almost lifeless. His eyes were completely shut, his breathing hardly noticeable, and his body still. She didn't even have to touch his skin to know that he was cold. "You'll wake up again soon, Roxas," she told him, "I just hope that you'll remember everything." She smiled. "Just as I have."

Sorry. To tell the truth, I couldn't think of the plot in how Roxas was going to kiss Namine. So I changed the title and summary. The endings and beginnings of my stories are mostly short. R&R please.
