Namine heard someone let out a little squeak behind her as she ran from Roxas. She turned and saw Riku standing over Roxas. She stopped and hid behind a tree as close to the two guy's without showing herself.

"Well what have we here? Trying to steal my girl Roxy?" she heard Riku say.

"What the heck are you talking about Riku? You and Namine aren't going out!"

"Not yet genius. Now…," She watched in horror as Riku picked Roxas up by the collar and slammed him against the wall, "You stay away from her, she's mine. Got it?" He slammed Roxas into the building again and Namine shrieked.

Riku dropped Roxas and whipped around, but Namine hid behind the tree. Riku shook his head and then turned back and pointed an angry finger at Roxas. "Remember what I said Roxas, or you'll be in deep shit." With that, Riku walked off as Namine watched, tears filling her face.

"How could Riku do that…" she said quietly then turned and saw Roxas stand up slowly. She wanted to run to him, but she was just too scared. Roxas stood up and spat to the side and Namine covered her mouth to hold back another shriek as she saw blood on the building where Roxas spat.

She turned and ran as fast as she could to her house to get ready for the weekend. She knew she had to talk to Roxas or she'd never be able to show her feelings for him.

Roxas was standing at the dock, holding a bag over his shoulder when he saw Sora walk down with a similar bag. Roxas had a bandage on his cheek from his little scuffle with Riku, and Sora noticed it right off.

"What happened man?" he questioned right off.

"I tripped on my way down here, slammed my face pretty good."

"That sucks! You ready for an awesome weekend?"

"Yeah, I am. You?"

"A weekend with my girlfriend and my two best friends? Couldn't ask for anything better."

"Yeah, me too." Roxas sighed.

"Look man, about today, I'm sorry. I understand that it's a sensitive thing for you. I'll keep quiet about it."

"It's ok Sora, it happens. I just need to find the courage to ask her out, but it feels impossible."

"Look, when I wanted to ask Kairi out, you know how long it was, but it wasn't that long after I told you I liked her. In fact," He chuckled, "It was the same day I told you."

"What?! You told me it was that Wednesday!"

"Sorry man, but I just couldn't tell you yet. We both decided it was going to be a few days. Well, looks like our conversation time has been cut short, the ladies are here," Sora pointed up the hill as Roxas looked up to see Kairi and Namine chatting as they came down the hill. Sora leaned over and lightly punched Roxas on the arm, "Good luck tiger."

Kairi ran down and dropped her bag on the ground and jumped into Sora's waiting arms. They kissed and then smiled at each other. Roxas smiled at them and felt someone walk up beside him. He looked over to see Namine standing next to him.

Neither of them moved but they both kept looking at each other. Namine looked away and then back at him with a smile. Roxas smiled back and then walked over to the boat.

"You guy's coming?" he yelled back.

"Yeah yeah, hold it Roxas!" Sora yelled back.

"Hurry up Romeo!" Roxas laughed as Sora kissed Kairi again and then just waited. Namine slowly came over and smiled.

"Could you help me in please?" Namine said quietly.

"No problem Namine," Roxas took Namine's bag and set it aside, and picked up Namine gently then set her in the boat. "There you go."

"Thanks Roxas." He smiled at her and she smiled back. Sora came over, set his stuff down, picked up Kairi and repeated what Roxas did, but added a kiss as he set Kairi down. Roxas took his and Namine's things and hopped into the boat.

"Ready to go?" Sora asked as he untied the rope's holding the boat in place.

"Yeah!" The three in the boat chimed in unison.

"Alright, it's off to the island for us!" Sora said as he pushed the boat out and jumped in. He and Roxas grabbed the paddles and started to paddle hard. Kairi sat at Sora's feet while he paddled. Roxas looked up at the sky as he paddled and then felt someone brush against his side. He looked and once again saw Namine right next to him.

Namine smiled warmly at him, and he smiled back. Unseen to both of them, their hearts were racing. Namine wanted to tell him what she saw, but she just couldn't, not with Sora and Kairi around. Roxas just wanted to tell Namine his feelings for her, but he was hindered just as she was.

Within minutes, the island was right at their feet, and they all piled out of the boat. After tying the boat up, Sora helped everyone onto the dock, then looked out over the ocean.

"Man I love it here," he sighed happily. Kairi took his hand and snuggled up against him.

"Me too," she said.

"Alright, I'm off," Roxas said.

"Huh? Where are you goin man?" Sora questioned.

"Somewhere…" Roxas replied as he walked down the beach and around the trees.

"Um, I'm…going to follow him, to see if he doesn't get hurt," Namine said lightly. Sora walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder while Kairi came up beside her and nudged her.

"Go get him Namine, we both understand what you want," Kairi said with a smile.

"Yeah, its way more then obvious that you two like each other. It's time that you two get to be alone and away from the norm of things for a bit, just the two of you," Sora added. Namine nodded and gave both of them a hug.

"Thanks for understanding. You two are the best friends anyone could ask for!" With that, Namine gathered her things and headed off after Roxas.
