a/n: Don't you love life?! Isn't it wonderful to be part of this great big blue planet?! I LOVE IT!!! That last chappie was a short one. Sorry 'bout that. I just thought that that was a good place to end it. Also, I would like to say that I got the inspiration for some of these 'episodes' from anime and manga, so thanks to that, and I do not own any of them. Thank you to all of you reviewers as well. It gives me the warm fuzzies, really. Well, Happy Readings!!!

Sora's POV:

The bell for class ended, and I slowly gathered up my things so Yuri could get a head start to getting to class. When I was done, I grabbed Roxas by the elbow, and dragged him off down the hall while explaining my master plan.

"Okay, I know that this is really wierd, and you don't even know me that well, but I hope that you'll trust me and go along with this."

He trotted along beside me and said, "Don't worry about it. Just, please tell me what the hell is going on!"

I glanced over at him, and began, "My friend Yuri has this crush on this guy. And the guy likes him too, but the thing is, is that neither of them know that. I just want to push them in the right direction, that's all."

"Won't they notice each other after a while?" he questioned, slowing down slightly as we neared the locker rooms.

I came to a sudden halt, I turned to him, and said loudly, the passion in my voice and on my face seeming very apparent, "No one should have to live without knowing their one true love. It is the worst thing that could happen to a person. Being in love with that person and not being able to speak to, or even see them, is torturous. I won't let that happen to him, or anyone."

He stood completely taken aback by my outburst. My eyes were burning brightly, and I wondered to myself, where in the world did this come from?

But, he proved me wrong when I thought that he was going to think I was some wierdo. His surprise melted away, and was replaced by understanding. He mumbled, "What's the plan, then?"

"Well, first we have to figure out how we're going to get them together. Then, we have to make sure all the right things happen to get them to start talking to each other. And after that, we need to make sure that they get that romantic spark turning into a flame. Alright?" I said excitedly, starting to walk towards the locker room again. "The thing is, is that I don't know how."

Roxas nearly fell over. (Sweatdrop) He gasped, "What?!"

I shruged my shoulders, and walked through the doors. Most of the guys had already started changing, so I hurried over to my locker and began stripping myself of my clothing.

Roxas whispered to me while he flung his shirt in his own locker, "Who's the guy Yuri's after anyways?"

"Oh! I thought I told you...It's Hayner. You know? He was in our class too." I said sheepishly, pulling my swimming shorts up over my boxers.

He thought for a momment, and then said, "You know, I was talking with him earlier, and he said that he was in the Kendo club. Does Yuri like Kendo do you think?"

"I don't know." I said thoughtfully. "But, I could ask him when we're in the pool."

Roxas nodded, and started heading out the door. We walked side by side, that is, until I got close enough to the water so I could see it. I immediatly felt my body sieze up. The air caught in my throat, and it felt like I was drowning again. The pressure and the weight of the water crushing me, and sending me to the bottom and my death. I whimpered slightly as I remembered what happened. I've always loved how the water feels, but when I was down there, it felt like it had an evil mind of its own. Just then, I was shaken from my dream, a pair of hands were clamped tightly on my shoulders, and I saw Roxas starring at me worredly.

As soon as I saw his ice blue eyes looking at me, I felt my body give out. I fell against him, and I cried softly. I rarely cried, and when I did, it was either because I was deeply moved by something, or something hurt me so badly that I couldn't even think straight. He cooed softly, stroking my hair, and telling me that it was alright.

"No. I have to go and talk with Yuri. He's more important right now. I have to do this!" I cried, pushing away from Roxas slightly.

"But, Sora-" he began, but I cut him off.

"Roxas! Please! I have to!" I said, my eyes filling with tears once again as I gazed at him.

No one should have to wait in the dark...

He watched me silently, and then mumbled, "Alright. But, I don't want to leave you alone."

I nodded, and we made our way to the deep dark water. I clutched to his arm involuntarily as he guided me down to the shallows where Yuri was already trying to float. Roxas held onto my arm as he stepped down into the blue, and when he was in, he reached his hand out to me. I couldn't do it. I whimpered again and took a step back. He whispered, "Sora..."

But, I still couldn't do it. I glanced between him and the water worredly and took another step back. He followed after. Stepping towards me he whispered, "You wanted to do this for Yuri, remember?"

My eyes swept over to where Yuri was standing, watching what was happening contently. I looked back to Roxas and nodded. He turned to walk back into the pool, but I felt my arm shoot out and clutch his hand tightly. I whispered, "Carry me."

"What?" he asked, turning back to me.

I gave him a pleading look and then repeated, "Carry me?...Into the water?"

He starred at me for a momment, and then walked up beside me. All of a sudden, he swept me off of my feet and into his arms bridal style. I squeaked slightly when he did this, and clutched at him as he took one step after the other, nearer and nearer. Everyone was watching this happening from the other side of the pool, and when some of them saw what he was doing, they either sighed, or squealed delightedly. I burried my head into his shoulder as he took the first step into the pool, and waited for it to come and swallow the both of us.

But, it didn't. Opening my eyes just a crack, I saw that I was suspended three feet over the water. It looked peaceful enough, but I was still a little freaked out. Roxas asked, "Ready?"

I took in a deep breath before I was able to nodd my head. Slowly, he started placing my feet into the cool water. I gasped as I felt it envelope it, and I almost tried jumping back up into his arms where it was safe, but I managed to stop myself. It was so difficult just getting my legs in the water. I had never thought that having a drowning experience could do this to someone. I just didn't want it to get me again. I cried out finally, my legs kicking and flailing, "Roxas! No! Get me out! Get me out!"

He swept me up with ease, and carried me quickly off to the side of the pool. He set me down gently on the side, and I could hear the kids whispering and gasping as they were watching. I was lying on my side, starring into the water blankly. What was wrong with me? I was stronger than this. Roxas lifted a hand and placed it on the side of my head. Stroking my hair slightly, I saw that he looked about ready to faint. I thought that actors were supposed to be all composed, and knew how to do everything all the time. So, why was Roxas looking...like a normal person...?

Yuri waded over to us and said in his slow voice (which had a hint of worry), "Sora...you don't have to come in...if you're not ready..."

Roxas nodded, and ran his fingers through my hair slightly. I heard the clomp of shoes getting closer, and someone call over to us, "Is he alright?"

"Yes, Senpai! He's alright!" Roxas called over me. I heard our teacher turn back, and head over to the other side of the pool once again.

He called over his shoulder, "If you want to stay with him, I won't mark you down for today's lesson."

"Thank you..." Roxas said faintly, turning his attention back to me.

I gazed up at the two of my friends, and mumbled softly, "Sorry about that. I just wanted to be with you guys."

"No!" Roxas cut in suddenly. "You don't need to be sorry at all! You were trying to be with friends, that's not a crime!"

Taken aback, I stuttered, "A-Alright..."

"Good. Now, Sora, why don't you talk to Yuri about our little plan?" he said, leaning up against the side of the pool.

I began, "Yuri, I noticed that you like Hayner. Alot. And I thought that it was a shame that you wern't talking to him. So, what I thought I could do, was help you out a little. You know? Give you a push in the right direction?"

His eyes had grown as big as dinner plates, and his pale face was slowly turning the color of a tomato. He asked me, even slower than usual, "I...told you...it's nothing..."

I was sitting up now, facing the two of them. I said forcefully, "You know that it's not nothing! And how do you know that he doesn't like you back?"

He blushed brighter still, and mumbled, "Why would he...like someone like me?"

"Why would he not?!" Roxas asked indignantly. "And how do you know what his type is?"

"Well...I'm not a girl...and I'm not in sports..." he said bluntly.

(Sweatdrop) I nearly fell into the pool I felt so put down, but, luckily Roxas caught me. I pouted and said, "Well...maybe he's bi!"

"Doubt it..." he mumbled.

(Sweatdrop) Again, I nearly did a flip into the pool. Roxas piped up, "Why don't you go out for the Kendo team? That way you'll have something in common, and you could get closer to him. You know, find out for yourself, and see if he's bi or not."

"I...couldn't..."

"Why not?" I asked innocently.

He starred over at me and said, "I don't know how to fight...in Kendo style..."

"Hmmmm...that's a problem." I said, tapping my chin and thinking hard. "Aha! I've got it!"

I lurched forwards and took up Yuri's hands, I looked right into his eyes and asked, "If you had the chance to learn...had the chance to get to know him...would you take it...?"

He thought for a momment before nodding yes. I continued, "Well, my friend Riku is on the Kendo team, so what if he taught you how to fight, and you joined?"

His eyes grew wide again, and I saw Roxas grinning from ear to ear out of the corner of my eye. Yuri stuttered, "I-I-I..."

"Come on! Just give it a chance!" Roxas said, clapping him on the back. "I'm an old friend, and I wouldn't do anything but what's best for you."

I glanced between them confusedly when he said this, but I got over it quickly because Yuri opened his mouth slowly and said, "...alright...I'll do it..."

"YES!" Roxas and I cried out simultaneously.

The rest of the day went by quickly. I was so excited when I told Riku in our science class. He immediatly agreed, and we made plans for when they would get together and practice. It would be every day right after school, that is except on saturdays (club day). And, now in the last class of the day, I didn't care that the art teacher said we had an easel seating arrangement. I moved all of my art equipment next to Yuri's anyways.

I told him what the plan was, and I saw that he was starting to turn a slight shade of green. I asked him, "You nervous?"

"Yeah..." he said faintly. "Sora...what if he...doesn't like me...?"

I just smiled and said knowingly, "He will. Trust me."

The rest of the week, I saw that Riku was working him hard. Everytime I saw him he looked more drained than before. And when Friday came around I asked him in P.E., "So are you glad you get a break after today?"

All he could do was nodd his head. I even had to, at the end of the day after practice, help carry him to his room. Riku said that after they had gone in to change, he had found him passed out on a bench next to his locker. Poor guy. The next day, I didn't see him until after my art group came back after our session for dinner. I found him looking completely rested, and eating heartily. Riku was sitting next to him, and they were chatting amiakably about Kendo. I didn't get any of it of course, and I was glad for that.

"Yeah...this guy is a natural. I'm surprised that he didn't join before this." Riku mumbled through a piece of bread.

Yuri smiled and said, "Not really. I'm still learning."

"Not for long though!" Riku said this time between chews of chicken. "He's going to be pro in no time!"

Another week went by, and his progress increased to where I couldn't even think of him in the same way. He was no longer the smart A++++++++ student. He was now the smart, toned, athletic A+++++++++ student.

"So you're going to go to the club practice tommorow?" I asked him on Friday after art class.

He nodded and blushed, mumbling, "Do you...think he'll notice?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Of course! Stupid!"

I poked him on the forehead and walked off, waving to him over my shoulder as I made my way to the dorms. Roxas and I had become good friends now. I realized the first day after the 'incident' when he carried me into the pool, and he looked so worried, that he's a normal human being, just with benifits. So, I was walking up to his room now to tell him the good news. Knocking on his door, I heard him call through it, "Come in!"

I pushed the door open, and bounded into the room yelling, "We've done it! Phase one is complete!"

He jumped up, and joined in the celebrating. We danced around like fools for a while, and then collapsed onto his bed, out of breath, and still laughing. I looked over at him, still smiling and said, "I'm glad we're friends. It feels as though I've met you before, it's so natural."

All of a sudden he got deathly silent. I didn't know I had said something bad. He lay stock still, starring up at the celing, and not saying a word. I reached a hand up, placed it on his shoulder, and asked quietly, "You okay?"

He jumped slightly at my touch, but replied coolly, "Oh...yeah. No probelm. I was just thinking about this script that my manager sent to me."

"Oh yeah?" I asked, sitting up. "Could I look at it?"

"S-sure." he said, getting up and walking over to his desk. He pulled out a thick packet that had the title, 'Romeo and Juliet : Modern'. This was so awesome! I was now holding an actual movie script, one that no one else even knows about!

"I'm not sure if I could do the part though. I don't think I'm cut out for it." he mumbled, running a hand through his thick blond hair.

I looked up at him and asked, "What part?"

"Romeo...but I don't think I could do a romance movie. I'm not sure how I could portray that. I might turn it down."

"Are you joking?!" I asked incredulously. "You'd be wonderful!"

His face started turning pink and he asked shakily, "R-really?"

"Yeah!" I insisted, flipping through the script. "You're an amazing actor! I saw your other movies, and I know that you would nock 'em dead if you went out for this."

He starred at me, his eyes half lidded, and his face a bright crimpson. I felt my own face burning slightly, and then he said, "Alright then. I'll do it. I'll take the part."

My face lit up, and I asked him excitedly, "Really?!"

"Yeah. I'll call my manager right now and tell him I'll do the script reading for the producers!" he said striding over to the phone in the corner of the room.

He dialed and waited a momment before a man answered on the other end. Roxas said matter-o-factly, "Yeah. Sign me up for Romeo and Juliet Takashi! I'm doing it."

I heard an exciting array of speach on the other end and then Roxas said glancing over at me, "A friend convinced me."

More talking, and then he said goodbye. He came back over to the bed, flopped down next to me, and picked up the script. He flipped to the first page and began reading, "Two families in rival buisnesses have two children. One, Keita, a care-free and optomistic 15 year old (as Romeo), and two, Hiro (playing Juliet). These two boys fall in love at first sight, but sadly, it is not ment to be."

"So, Romeo and Juliet are both boys?" I asked, peering over at the script.

"Yeah." Roxas said, pointing it out. "I'm kinda excited to be doing this, because I get to do a movie with my sexual preference, and it's with a new actor."

I gulped, and asked him, "S-so, you're g-gay?"

"Is that a problem?" he asked looking over at me innocently.

I shook my head frantically and cried out, "N-no! I'm gay too! I have nothing against it, it's just that...I didn't know..."

He chuckled and sat up, flipping around, and saying, "Well then, we'd both be careful or else we'll be falling in love with each other."

I gulped again, and laughed forcibly, "Heh. Yeah."

He glanced back at me and winked, smiling that million dollar smile of his. My heart must have stopped, because I barely remember saying goodbye to him. I just remember stumbling back into my room after a while. That's when I chose to finally pass out on my bed.

a/n: OOOOOOhhhhh! How exciting!" R&R!!!
