And so comes the ending of this tale. I hope you've enjoyed it all the way and that this little final ending scene will be equally enjoyable. This story has been one of my "babies" through the years of writing fanfics and i really grew to love it already after the first three chapters. Please let me know your thoughts of it all in a review. ^^ / Silverspegel

Epilogue

Roxas sat himself down in front of the computers, his mind set.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Axel stood behind him, letting one of his hands toy with the spikes of his blond hair.

"I have to check if he was right. It'll be alright to do it now. I'm well rested and I won't do any hacking, just take a stroll and chat. It's perfectly safe," Roxas said with a chuckle and strapped on the portable VR equipment to his arms, legs and neck.

"First thing you do if you bump into trouble?" Axel asked and flicked on the power to the computer, then connected the cables between the VR-tools and the hard drive.

"I'll run the log off scripts and get straight back here to you," Roxas laughed and gave him a slight peck on the nose as he bent forward to put the armrest keys in position.

"Off you go then. I'll be waiting."

Roxas leaned back and closed his eyes, placed his hands on the armrests, his fingers at the ready on the keys.

"See you in an hour or so," he said calmly.

He felt Axel's presence as he leaned in over him and for a short moment their lips met in a warm kiss, before the redhead slowly pulled away, leaving a bit of his warmth on Roxas' lips.

"Now I know you'll want to come back quickly," he said and Roxas could hear the smile in his voice. He then heard a switch being flicked and suddenly he was standing in an open field of green grass.

Roxas looked around himself to make a mental map of his surroundings and closed his eyes to wait in stillness.

Five heartbeats later, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Are you standing here sleeping? Geez, and here I took you for a serious guy!"

Roxas smiled and opened his eyes, meeting a pair just as blue as the sky above them.

"I was starting to think you'd never show up, Sora," Roxas said and took the other's hand in greeting.

Sora smiled.

"Me? I'll never disappear completely, you know. You're stuck with me from now on!"

Laughing, the two young keybearers started to walk across the field, finally finding peace, as the two parts of their shared minds were once more made into a whole.
