Authoress' note: This chapter is a little longer than the other ones (yeah, I think this is going to be like five chapters long )

Roxas: "Jeez I wonder what got into him"

Naminé: "…"

Naminé was still digesting what had happened. She noticed Roxas getting up and stretching his slender legs.

Roxas: "Well, I'll see what I can do about him. In the mean time, I'll go sneak us some food!"

Naminé nodded and smiled at him. He walked towards the door that had been recently slammed shut and opened it. He hesitated from going out as he noticed something bright lying on the ground. He crouched and picked it up; it was bright yellow and star-shaped.

Roxas: "Is this yours Nami?"

Naminé: "No, what is it?"

Roxas: "I'm not sure, but it looks edible"

&-&-&

The flame sorcerer walked down the hallways blinded by a fury of unknown source.

Axel: "No, Naminé wouldn't like him more than me, right? I mean, I AM taller… and hotter… am I smarter than him? Of course I am! Besides, she's not Roxas' type…"

Roxas: "So Axel, what do you think about Larxene?"

Axel: "Too easy for my taste, if you know what I mean"

Roxas: "Excuse me Mr. Experienced"

Axel: "I don't have to be experienced to know she's not my type. What about you?"

Roxas: "Me? Oh totally not my type either. The perfect girl for me has to be delicate, fragile, humble, shy, pretty, smart and interesting"

Axel: "You're asking for too much buddy. That's impossible."

Axel remembered in horror and realized Naminé fitted that description perfectly. He felt that burning sting in his chest again as images of Roxas and Naminé played through his mind. He tried to shake them away, and he succeeded. He felt more relaxed, and he sorted out his thoughts. He realized he was getting that annoying feeling get the best of him.

Axel: "Man, I was a jerk. What kind of greeting did I give him? I should go back and apologize"

The fire tamer turned around and headed to the memory witch's room once more. He noticed the door was open as he got closer to the white room. He stood on front of the door and watched as Roxas showed Naminé the star-shaped object he had found. Neglecting the thought of telling them it was his, he walked inside and gave Roxas a brotherly nudge on the head. The teenager whined angrily, but jumped in surprise as he recognized the person who was doing it.

Roxas: "Axel! You came back!"

Axel: "I got you didn't I?"

Roxas: "I thought you had gotten mad when you saw me"

Axel: "Well, I should have. I WAS looking for you, again, for three straight days"

Roxas: "Aww, you missed me didn't you?"

Axel: "Yeah, it's not so fun with Demyx only"

Roxas: "Yeah, his pranks aren't as funny as mine!"

Axel: "Well, I'm quite busy, so I'll catch you later!"

Axel closed the door as he sprinted out of the room. Naminé had been staring at him the whole time. Roxas turned back to her and shrugged as he split the star-shaped object into two equal pieces.

Roxas: "Well, this smells incredibly good. Why don't we taste it?"

Roxas offered Naminé the other half of the strange yellow object.

&-&-&

Axel mentally kicked himself as he exited the room. He wondered why he had said he was busy when he wasn't, and worse than that, he wondered why he had completely ignored Naminé. He just hoped he was taking the right decision as he chose to let things flow naturally.

Roxas, Axel and Demyx were in the kitchen the next morning. Roxas realized the fire manipulator was everything but fiery; he hadn't even touched his pancakes, and he usually devoured them in two minutes, along with the water dancer's toasts. He tried to put up a conversation, and he chose, because of his lack of knowledge, the worse topic to start one.

Roxas: "Hey you guys, I found a star-shaped fruit yesterday, but I had never seen it before. Have any of you?"

Demyx: "Not me"

Axel swallowed hard and slowly; he couldn't just exclaim it was his star-shaped object, which happened to be a fruit. Zexion, who also happened to be in the same room as the three youngsters were, walked closer to them.

Zexion: "I know"

Roxas: "You? Why would you?"

Zexion: "It's called a paopu fruit, and it's only found in Destiny Islands"

Roxas: "Oh, I guess you've been there"

Zexion: "… there's a legend about it"

Demyx: "Really? That's so cool! Tell us about it!"

Zexion: "The legend says that if two people share half of the fruit, their destinies will be intertwined"

Roxas: "You mean they'll never be apart?"

Zexion: "Correct"

Axel watched as the silent schemer walked away from them with his stoic face, slowly analyzing the information he had given away. He smiled as he wondered what would have happened if he had shared it with Naminé. He took a gulp of his milk when the keyblade master spoke up.

Roxas: "That's ironic; I gave Naminé half of the paopu fruit--" The flame controller's world broke slowly into pieces, and he couldn't help but choke on the milk he was drinking. Roxas looked at him strangely, while Demyx cleaned his face, covered with milk.

Roxas: "Dude, why did you spit the milk?"

Axel was sweating. He felt angry and upset. The room was twirling around and he couldn't focus on a reasonable answer for his friend. He opened his mouth, but no words would come out. He felt his emerald eyes burn and he…

Axel: "It was sour! Yes, I think the milk expired or something. You know, I think I might as well go buy some!"

Roxas: "Oh, okay!"

Demyx watched confused as his friend got up of the chair and left the room. He was certain he had heard his voice crack while he talked. Roxas, on the other hand, ate it all and shrugged. He looked at the water charmer's concerned eyes and smirked.

Roxas: "Anyway, I gave Naminé half of the paopu fruit and she didn't take it"
