Feeling III: Friendship
"There's no one here…"
Roxas and Xion walked into the giant room where they would usually find one or two members of Organization XIII lounging on the sofas and Saïx waiting for them. Instead today, no one was here.
"Where is everyone," Xion asked.
"I don't know…"
Footsteps echoed behind them and drew louder as Axel appeared out of the darkness, his fiery red hair flaring on his head. "Oh?" he said, with amusement. "Both of the kids are still here?"
"Axel, where is everyone?" Roxas asked him.
"You don't know?" Axel looked at him with surprise. "It's a day off today."
"A day… off?" Roxas was confused. "What does that mean?"
"It means," said Axel with exasperation. "That you can do whatever you want today." A black cloud grew at the soles of his feet. "Later."
Roxas crossed in arms. "Well that was useful," he said sarcastically. "So what do you want to do?" he said to Xion.
"Um," Xion thought for a moment. "Oh! Want to go to Twilight Town and get some sea-salt ice cream?"
Roxas smiled. "Let's go then." So they left the Gray Room …
And ended up in the middle of the Market Street.
"Look," Xion pointed to the ice cream vendor. "There's the ice cream seller. Race you there!"
"Xion!" Roxas cried out as he tried to catch up to the already running girl, but to no avail. "That's not fair!"
Xion smiled. "Fine, I'll buy you the ice cream then."
Roxas grinned back. "That seems fair."
Turning to the vendor, she said, "Two sea-salt ice creams, please."
"Here you are, sweetie," the woman manning the cart smiled. "And here's one for your friend too," she said handing one to Roxas, who accepted it with confusion.
"Friend?" he asked.
"Yes, dearie, friend," the woman answered. "You know, someone you're attached to by feelings of affection and trust."
"We're friends?" Xion asked, with hesitancy in her voice.
The woman raised an eyebrow, "You sure look like it, honey."
"Are we friends?" Xion asked Roxas.
"Of course," he smiled at her as he held out his ice cream bar. "To friendship."
Xion raised her ice cream bar as well, smiling broadly. "To friendship."
