"Wow!" Namine said as she looked around the set.

Filming would begin later this week, but they were to give Namine a tour of the place first. The one who was giving the tour was the make-up artist and fiance of Sora, Kairi. Kairi was pretty upbeat and talkative. Namine wasn't used to being around people like her.

"So, Namine, ever been to a place like this before?" Kairi asked, starting up conversation.

"Oh, um, no," Namine replied shyly.

"Okay, how about watching a movie with similar backgrounds and sets?"

"Oh, um, no. I don't really watch many movies."

"Okay, how about a TV show with similar look?"

"Oh, um, no. I don't really watch much TV."

"Ever acted in a school play? A skit?"

"Oh, um, no."

"Have you even acted before? Sang in front of an audience. Anything?"

"Oh...um, no."

Kairi became nervous. She could sense that Kairi felt a bit tense. In truth, Namine didn't even know if she could pull off this job. She didn't even know why they accepted her.

Kairi then saw the sad look and Namine's face and sighed.

"It's okay. We'll just see how it is and give you advice," Kairi suggested.

Namine smiled softly.


Roxas watched from afar as Namine and Kairi walked around the set. He and Sora were sitting down near the set for the cafeteria scene in the movie. Roxas's eyes have been glued to Namine since she entered the room. Sora could see this fact very clearly.

"Dang, she's gorgeous!" Roxas said.

Sora smirked.

"Am I good or what? Knew you'd like her. It didn't take much for me to convince the director to cast her," Sora said proudly, "Do you think Olette will get jealous?"

Roxas didn't answer. He was a bit too busy staring at Namine.

"Roxas. Roxas! ROXAS!" Sora said, trying to call his friend out this trance.

"Oh! Sorry. What did you say?" Roxas asked.

Sora snickered. Roxas raised an eyebrow.

"Twenty bucks says you'll fall for her and forget about Olette," Sora said with a smile.

"Hell to the no. I still like Olette, and I've known her all my life. We'll only be together for a couple of months to a year at most filming this movie. I've been way more prettier girls for that and I never once changed my mind about Olette," Roxas stated.

"Yeah, but you've never had to spend this much time with an innocent blond. One that is like Olette's dream self. I'm betting you'll start to like her," Sora said.

Roxas glared at him, "Not going to happen!"

"Alright! Alright! I'll drop it. But you at least should go talk to her before we start filming."

Roxas began to grumble.


"So Kairi, what's LoveFool about?" Namine asked.

Kairi smiled and handed her the script. It was a thick packet. On the cover, there was the title, cast, director, writer, and a tag line.

"'Two Fools In Love, Chained Down By Everyone Else'?" Namine read out loud.

Kairi began to ramble on about the story. As she went deeper into the plot, Namine eye's grew wider and wider. The plot contained a lot of drama, action, and suspense. And much passionate love scenes. The thought of doing all those scared Namine a bit.

"Wow. That sure is...something," Namine said, looking for the right words, "So I play Aqua and...some Roxas plays Ventus?"

"'Some Roxas'? Don't you mean THE Roxas?" Kairi joked.

"I've never heard of him before. Is he good at this stuff?" Namine asked.

"You've never heard of Roxas?! Where have you been living?" Kairi asked.

"Well, I live at 2435 Westbrooke Street, second house to the right..." Namine said, taking the question too seriously.

Kairi sighed and walked away. Roxas then walked up to Namine.

"Hey, how you like the set so far?" Roxas asked.

"Nice, I guess. Are you Roxas?"

"Why, yes, I am," Roxas said with a smirk, "I'll gladly give you an autograph."

Namine giggled. Roxas then had a confused expression on his face.

"You're so funny," Namine said.

"I was serious. Do you want an autograph? Wait, do you even know who I am?"

"You're Roxas. The guy playing Ventus. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"You know, you're the first girl who hasn't freaked out when meeting me. Even my ex-girlfriend has some sort of fangirl moment when we met. Interesting," Roxas said a bit disappointed.

"Well, I guess I'm not like other girls," Namine said simply.

"So anyways, just wanted to remind you not to make me look bad," Roxas said, getting to the point.

"Look bad? What do you mean?"

"Well, if you mess up horribly, guess who they'll be pointing fingers at? So do nothing but the best. You're working with me after all!" Roxas said, smirking proudly.

Namine frowned. She did not like this.

"So you think you're better than me just because you're some big star?" Namine said, a bit offended by what Roxas was saying.

"Not think. KNOW. I know I'm better than you. I am."

Namine stared at the blond, as if she was trying to figure him out. There was a short silence.

"You're probably right. However, I do wish you would have put it in a different way," Namine said with an unreadable expression.

Roxas was taken back. He was not expecting that reaction. He tried to avoid her gaze.

"I'm sorry."

Those two words had not come out of his mouth in many years. THE Roxas, the self-absorbed star, was apologizing and admitting he had done something wrong. Namine came a bit closer to him, looking into his eyes. She truly saw that he was genuinely sorry. A small smile crept onto her face.

"It's okay. I understand. Let's be friends," Namine said, extending her hand out for a handshake.

Roxas slowly took her hand and shook it. He could not remember meeting someone who seemed so pure. So innocent. So stainless. He almost felt bad that he was going to use her. The key word here is almost.


A/N: Nami and Roxie's first meeting! I'm expecting this fic to be about 15 chapters. This is one of the chapters I barely changed that was part of the first drafts. In the first draft, once Roxas claimed he was better, Namine got angry and they become sort of a "Takahashi Couple" or a couple who bickers, everyone knows that they like each other, they refuse to admit they like one another, lots of jealousy, and all. But after thinking about it, Namine is more of a calm girl, and she wouldn't react the way I made her in the first draft. Hope this one is more true to her personality. The chapters are shorter than they were in Right Here and I apologize. I'll try to lengthen them as the story progresses.
