"Roxas? Hello? Are you still there?"

"Huh? What?" Roxas replied, a bit dazed.

"We were discussing how we're gonna to save Olette and you spaced," came Hayner's irritated voice over the phone.

"Oh, sorry." Roxas had been wondering where Olette was and what was happening to her at this very moment. He never realized how much she meant to him. How every time she entered the room, everyone just had to notice her. Well, at least he thought so. He knew before that he liked being around her, just not this much.

"Anyway," began Hayner, "Pence says that his mom isn't going to let him out past 7 because he has to pack for this trip he's going on tomorrow. And he's too much of a wuss to sneak out, so it's just gonna be you and me."

"'Kay. Besides, I was supposed to go alone."

"Well that's not happening."

"I know, I know. So what exactly are we going to do again?"

Hayner sighed. "You know, sometimes, I just don't know WHY I'm friends with you."

"Haha, sorry," chuckled Roxas.

"Okay, so first of all, we're gonna meet downtown, a bit past the ice cream stand. Then, once we meet up we'll head over to the haunted mansion, then we'll climb in that upper window to surprise them, then-"

"Hayner! I don't think that we really need to go through all that work. Why don't we just go in the front door?"

"Because! We wanna take the enemy by SURPRISE. So, once we've climbed in through the window, we'll check that the room is secure, then..."

Roxas sighed and rolled his eyes. Hayner really took things too far sometimes. Roxas began to think of Olette again and let Hayner ramble on. He never really thought about how pretty she was. Well yeah, he knew that lots of guys were always checking her out, but she never really appealed to him before. Why was this happening now?

"So Roxas, you got it all?" asked Hayner.

"Uh, yeah, sure," said Roxas.

"Okay. See ya in ten minutes!"

"See ya then Hayner."

Roxas shut his cell phone and flopped back on his bed. What do the kidnappers want with me? I never do anything. Roxas closed his eyes, exhausted already. This was going to be a long night.

"You know, you can't keep me tied here forever," said Olette angrily to Rai, "I really have to use the bathroom."

Rai blushed and stammered, "W-w-well Seifer said that you had to stay tied, no matter what, y' know."

"Do you really want me going - in here?" demanded Olette, who was seriously considering biting Rai's head off.

"Uh, well maybe I could untie you, and then y' know, you could go outside."

"Fine. Now UNITE me," said Olette through gritted teeth. It was getting awfully hard now to hold it in. Rai fumbled with the knots tying Olette to the pillar, unfortunately for him, he wasn't going fast enough.

"Hurry up!" Olette snapped, glancing back at the bumbling Rai behind her. Finally, Rai undid the knots and Olette was free. She rubbed her arms that had endured the bite of the rope then scampered off towards the door.

"Now wait one sec," said Rai as he stood before Olette with his arms crossed. "You can't just go off by yourself, y' know? Seifer would kill me."

Olette gave Rai a glare that could have killed. "No way are you looking at me while I go. That's just totally indecent. Now get out. Of. My. Way," Olette pushed Rai aside and stormed through the door. Rai just stood there at the door his mouth agape, amazed that such a small girl could be so fiery. And also, he was a bit afraid of her.

"Okay that's better," said Olette calmly as she walked back inside. She pulled out a small container of Purel and began applying it to her hands. "Thank goodness I carry around Purel." She turned around and eyed Rai. "Are you going to tie me back up again?"

"Um, yeah, y' know," replied Rai nervously. Man, this girl has crazy mood swings, he thought. Olette stood up against the pillar and allowed him to tie her up again. Resisting against a guy that size would be useless in her case. She'd rather be tied up again, without any fighting.

"So how long do I have to stay like this?" questioned Olette innocently, make Rai even more nervous with her change of behavior, once again.

"Well, uh, whenever Seifer gets back, y' know. He makes the decisions around here," said Rai humbly.

"Psh. Seifer this, Seifer that. Why don't you get a life?" blurted Olette.

Rai opened his eyes wide. He glanced at the ceiling then turned back to Olette, while scratching the back of his head.

"I never really thought 'bout that. I just always accepted Seifer as leader, y' know," said Rai slowly. Olette shook her head.

"You really should stand up for yourself sometimes," she replied in a soft tone. "You can't just let Seifer bully you all the time."

"I know," answered Rai, "it's just-"

"Rai! Shut up," barked Seifer as he came downstairs. "It isn't heart to heart time with the captive."

"Well, Olette. It seems your loser boyfriend isn't coming to rescue you," sneered Seifer.

"Okay, first of all, he's not my boyfriend. Second of all, he's not a loser. And third of all, leave Rai alone," said Olette fiercely. Seifer raised his eyebrows questioningly at Olette, then at Rai.

"'Leave Rai alone,'" Seifer mimicked. "Haha, so now you're gonna stand up for Rai too? Oh this is pathetic."

"Hey!" shouted Rai as he stood up, "Don't talk to her like that!"

Seifer looked at Rai, amazed for a second, then furious the next. "You stepped too far Rai. Sit back down," he snarled with a threatening hand gesture and blazing eyes. Quickly, Rai sat down. Seifer glared at him for a little while longer then averted his gaze to Olette.

"Now where were we? Oh yeah, your loser boyfriend. Well, if he doesn't show up soon…alone, we're just gonna have to dispose of you."

Olette's eyes burned with hatred for the twisted teenager before her and said nothing.

There was a crash upstairs and the sound of glass breaking. Everyone whipped their heads around to peer into the dark hallway above them.

"What was that?" murmured Olette curiously. Seifer turned to dash upstairs but was stopped by the sound of a door splitting open.

"What the hell?" said Seifer, as two figures emerged from the inky darkness.

"It is I, your-," began a cocky voice. It paused to whisper something to its companion. The sound of hands beating against the wall that seemed to be the semblance of a drum was heard, and the voice continued. "It is I, your worst nemesis: Hayner!" shouted an overly zealous Hayner as he slid down the hand rail of the staircase.

"And of course, my sidekick: Roxas!" he shouted as the teen mentioned made his way slowly down the stairs.

Seifer, Rai, and Olette all gaped at the sight of the excited "superman" Hayner, and his "sidekick" Roxas.

Roxas's face lit up the moment he saw Olette. He started towards her, but was stopped by an angry Seifer's voice.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" yelled Seifer, outraged. "I thought I told you to come alone, Roxas! And the what the hell is Hayner doing?"

Olette began to giggle and Hayner's face fell. "Well DUH I wasn't gonna let him come here all by himself, and what can I say? I like to make an entrance," replied Hayner as he shrugged his shoulders.

"So it was you," Roxas said darkly. "You were the one who kidnapped Olette. Why?"

Seifer shook his head at Hayner and faced Roxas. "You shouldn't have won that tournament yesterday. That was a big mistake."

"Why would you care so much about a stupid tournament?" asked Roxas. "If it's the trophy you're after, you can have it. I don't care. Just give Olette back."

"No, you loser. That's not what I want," snapped Seifer. "I want something more than that."

"What?" asked Roxas impatiently.

"A rematch. In public. And you have to lose, on purpose."

"Fine, whatever. Just let Olette go!"

"How do I know that you're gonna lose the struggle match on purpose, huh? And I want it to look real," demanded Seifer.

"I will lose the match on purpose. You can count on that," replied Roxas bitterly. "Now free Olette, and we'll see you tomorrow."

"Not so fast," Seifer answered. "I don't want this to look fake. It has to look absolutely real. So, just in case you decide to try and win tomorrow…." Seifer cracked his knuckles and Rai stood up and came near Seifer to do the same. "Rai and I will just have to beat you up now. Then tomorrow, you really will be too weak to fight back."

Olette eyes opened wide in horror as she saw Seifer and Rai advance on Roxas.

"Now wait one second!" Hayner shouted as he stepped up next to Roxas. "I'm not letting my buddy go down without a fight!" He held his fists up in a fighter's stance and gave Roxas a knowing look. Roxas nodded and together they ran towards Olette's captors.

The last thing Roxas remembered as he went down was the sight of an unconscious Hayner and Olette's piercing scream. Then it all went black.
