Light seeped through as Roxas slowly opened his eyes. He squinted, but then the light disappeared and was quickly replaced by ocean water. His eyes were now completely open and his heart was beating faster than an average athlete's heartbeat speed. He looked up and saw the sun's faint light shining down. Huh? How am I able to even breathe? This MUST be a dream. He tried to 'swim' but found that his body was paralyzed. He was unable to talk either. This is too freaky! He felt a flow of relief flood him as his feet touched the ground and that he was able to move again. He looked around. It's so dark.
"Can you feel Sora?" a deep vice echoed.
Roxas heard the voice and took a step forward. But before he was able to respond, doves appeared from the floor he was standing on and flew in circles around him. He shielded himself. What in the world is going on? He felt the birds' wings leave his skin and took a small peek. He saw them leaving and watched them disappear from afar. What was that all about? Why are there birds underwater?
"Wake up to another day," the voice said, "Start out fresh and clean."
What the heck is THAT supposed to mean? Roxas felt a pang of pain in his head and froze. He fell on his knees and sighed as his whole body collapsed. That hurt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sora," a soft voice called out, "Time to wake up."
Sora? I'm not Sora. Roxas awoke to find an oddly very familiar auburn-haired girl staring down at him. "Huh?" he asked numbly. What the? My voice changed! He slowly sat up and rubbed his throat.
"C'mon, sleepyhead!" the girl teased, "Riku's waiting. Hurry up and get dressed." She left without another word.
Roxas quickly ran to his mirror and nearly boy-screamed when he saw his reflection. His hair was brown and spiked all over the place, and... I look like a stupid amateur! He started to pant in his anxiety and did his best to calm himself down. "What's happening to me?" he asked out loud. He clenched his hair.
"Nothing," Riku said out of nowhere, "But if you don't hurry up, something WILL happen to you. Not in a good way." He smirked as the brunette boy turned to him, but then frowned as he looked into his blue eyes. He positioned himself to a fighting stance. "Who are you? And what did you do with Sora?"
Roxas looked at himself again. "I-I'm Roxas," he stammered, "And I don't know why I'm Sora and stuff. But I REALLY don't belong here! I belong in Twilight Town with...with..." He couldn't remember her name. Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and white dress he remembered clearly, but not her name. He sighed in defeat.
"Roxas?" Riku repeated. He looked at the figure before him and asked, "What are you doing here? You merged with Sora. And where's Namine? She can't be Kairi., could she?" He ran his hand through his long silver hair and laughed. "That would break Sora's heart."
"Really?"
"Yeah. That's why you have feelings for Namine." Riku rose an eyebrow teasingly. "Riiigghhht?"
Roxas blushed and looked at the wall next to him. "I do NOT have feelings for Namine. She's just my friend." Namine... I miss her even though I don't really remember her that much.
"Right," Riku sarcastically toned, "Well anyway, we'd better figure out a way to get you and Sora back into your regular bodies."
"Y-yeah," Roxas said blankly, "Um...what's your name again?"
Riku cringed. Oh, boy. This is going to be a long day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Sora's horrific shout echoed throughout Twilight Town. Everyone looked up at the building he was in and murmured to each other. "What happened to me? I'm blonde and skater-dressed!"
"Roxas!" Hayner called as he entered Sora's room, "Quit yelling! Everyone can hear you from miles away!" He looked at Sora suspiciously. "What are you screaming about anyway?"
Sora turned to face Hayner. "Oh, Hayner!" he gasped, "I'm not Roxas! It's me- Sora!" He pointed at himself, but only got a questioned look from the blonde. "Don't you remember me?"
Hayner shook his head. "Dude, I think you've gone mad this time. There's no one named Sora around here." He opened the door and walked out saying, "We'll be waiting for you at the alley."
Sora stood at his mirror, pale and wide-eyed. He eventually snapped out of his shock and changed into Roxas' clothes. "That's right," he mumbled, "Roxas' Twilight Town exists only in my memory. No one knows me here because I never came here through my own self." He put on his shoes and straightened his short-sleeved jacket. I just hope Roxas is doing okay. Where could he be?
