It couldn't hurt to try something new

"Eh…" Namine thought as Kairi dragged her around town. She closed her eyes. "Kairi, like I said, I don't need a makeover."

"That's what you think!" Kairi answered still running in front of her. "Why do you think Roxas likes her?"

She gave her a suspicious look. "And you know what Olette looks like how?" and stopped running almost making her friend fall from the sudden stop.

"Ah, haha." she laughed nervously trying to think of a way to explain it. "I asked Sora to show me a photo of Roxas and his friends."

"Oh. Okay then." Namine sighed in relief and kept walking, still keeping a distance with her. "Nothing to worry about."

"And plus, I was spying on you." Kairi added in a mumble so that she wouldn't hear.

"WHAT?!"

"Oh look! A store!" Kairi pointed interrupting the moment and the fact that she was going to get mad, and pulled her inside.

A few dressing rooms later…

"Oh, Namine, it's cute!" Kairi grinned as her friend walked out of the dressing room with yet "another" outfit.

Namine glanced at the mirror and sighed. "Thanks, but I still don't think that this would be me. Besides, I think pink is more of your thing." as she went back to change.

"You're right! I could use a pink wardrobe!" and suddenly spotted something in one of the racks. "Namine! I have to have you try on this outfit!" she ordered.

"I thought this was the last one?!"

"This will be the last one!"

"Fine…" and took the dress without taking a look at it. Once she walked out looking at the mirror again, she thought. "This dress seems okay…"

"This fits you! Definitely!" Kairi grinned.

Namine had to admit, this time Kairi picked out a good outfit. She turned to face her. "I thought you didn't want me to wear white?"

"Did I?" Kairi asked trying to remember herself saying such a thing. She waved her hand. "Oh well! The white dress fits you!" she gushed.

"Okay."

Walking Outside

"Oh!" Kairi gasped suddenly as the two were walking down the street. She checked the time on her watch. "My shift at the shop started two hours ago! I'm late!"

"Why am I not surprised? You got so carried away with all the shopping spree, as expected." Namine replied pointing at the many bags Kairi happened to carry.

Sighing, she shook her head. "Well, I better come late than never, so see ya, Nami!" she waved as she quickly ran towards a different direction. At the same moment, Namine found herself watching her friend disappear and suddenly on the ground.

"Ugh…it feels like déjà vu…" she muttered and looked at the person next to her who also fell as they collided. "Roxas!" she glared. "Do you have this issue with running into people, and out of all, it had to be me?" she asked in an annoyed tone.

"Sorry, Namine." Roxas rolled his eyes. "My skateboard must have this thing for you."

"Roxas!"

"Okay, okay! I'm sorry." Roxas apologized again not wanting his friend to hit him like how Kairi did with Sora. "If you intend to hit me like Kairi, do that to Sora not me."

"Well Sora isn't here is he?"

Not realizing that his friend were there laughing they glanced at them in surprise. "How did you get here?" Roxas asked.

"Um…" Hayner began to answer. "Skateboards?" he pointed as the others nodded.

"You were so busy talking to "her" that you didn't realize we were here the whole time." Olette giggled.

"What did she mean when she referred to me as "her"?" Namine thought. "Was it a bad thing?"

Interrupting her thoughts, Roxas faced Namine. "Hey, since all of us are just hanging out and you seem kind of alone, why don't you skateboard with us?"

"Eh?!" Namine asked blushing in embarrassment. "I…I- I don't……know how" she muttered.

"That's easy, we'll all teach you." Pense smiled and nudged Hayner. "Especially Roxas." as the two boys snickered.

………………

"Okay, Namine, carefully balance yourself on the board." Olette gently assured the nervous blond. She smiled as Namine did as what she was told. "Good! Now you can just ride!"

"W-What?" she asked. "W-Wait!"

Olette turned to Hayner and Pense and they nodded as she smiled mischievously, and pushed Namine.

"Ah! Wait, Olette!" Namine announced suddenly realizing that she pushed her as she rode downhill. "This is going too fast!" she thought as she closed her eyes and crashed into someone.

"And you're telling me that "I" run into you?" the voice asked almost sounded like he was laughing.

She opened her eyes to see that she ran into Roxas. "Ah…I'm sorry Roxas!" she blushed.

He patted her head. "It's okay, it was your first time, it's not your fault. Just remember to watch where you're going." he grinned.

"Wait…" she remembered. "That's supposed to be my line!" and noticed Olette from uphill that she was giving the two boys high fives. "What does she have against me?" she wondered.

With the three

"Good job Olette!" Pense laughed as she gave him a high five along with Hayner.

She smiled. "Do you think that worked?"

"Well, if this was your idea of bringing them together, I hope so." Hayner muttered.

"If I remember correctly Hayner, you were the one who thought of this plan." Pense interrupted.

"Why you-" he began but was cut off by Olette. "Just let it go Hayner." glancing at the two blonds at the bottom of the hill. "I'm sure that they like each other and that this plan had to at least work." and smiled. "They were meant to be."

Coffee Shop

"Sorry, I'm late!" Kairi announced as she ran inside only to find Sora cleaning up. He looked at her. "You do know we're closed Kairi."

"I know, but-" and looked for the others. "Wait, where's Riku and Selphie?" she asked.

"They had the day off today, in fact for the week." he answered again without looking at her.

"I'm sorry, Sora." she began as she started cleaning up with him.

He paused and walked away putting a wash cloth in the bucket. "I have to leave." he announced grabbing his bag. "I'm sure you can do the rest right?" and left out the door without hearing her reply.

"Eh? Sora?" she wondered.
