Roxas was using Namine. He knew it. Sora and Kairi knew it. And Roxas was feeling a bit bad. However, it had always been a rule of thumb to him: if you want something, don't hesitate to get it. Even if you have to crush a few daisies.

He walked onto set, wearing his very strange costume. Yes, it was a bit embarrassing to wear. He wore a pirate costume. The movie wasn't even about pirates. The setting wasn't even Halloween either. When he asked the costume design team why he had to wear this outfit, they had only replied with:

"It's for the fangirls."

Ah. Of course.

Well, Roxas did look pretty sexy in that outfit. He knew it. He and all the girls who follow him on twitter also did. Heck, even Kairi agreed, to Sora's dismay. Roxas could recall Sora's reaction to Kairi calling Roxas 'hot'.

"She's marrying me."

"I know that, Sora."

"She'll be off limits."

"Yes, I know."

"You need to get back to together with Olette."

"I know."

"Because Kairi's off limits."

Roxas then saw Namine enter the room. She was wearing the signature white dress she wore many days during filming. Namine's character, Aqua, was one of those girls in those movies who would be waiting for the man she loves to come home. This was the point in the movie where Aqua decides not to wait anymore.

Once Namine saw Roxas, she smiled. Roxas immediately turned away. He didn't even know why he did that. It felt so scripted and rehearsed to turn away. When he finally looked at her again, she was walking toward him.

"Hello, Roxas," she said softly.

"Hi."

"Roxas, have I done something wrong?" she asked.

"Why do you think that?"

"You refused to look at me when I saw you."

Roxas scratched his head, "I...ah..."

"What can I do to fix the situation?"

"Well...there's really nothing to be fixed."

"So our relationship is permanently damaged?"

"NO! I just didn't want to look at you because...!" Roxas stopped there. He truly did not know why he looked away.

Namine giggled and clapped her hands together.

"Just kidding! Sorry!" she said.

Roxas felt that if this was one of those Japanese cartoons (they were called anime, right?) then this would have been the part where he did that anime-style fall. Namine continued to hold that smile on her face. Looking at her smiling was always a mystery to Roxas now since the incident the other day. Who knew what she was feeling anymore? That was the thing about acting. It's so hard to tell between fake and the real thing. Actors made the best liars.

"You did really well in that scene, Namine."

"As did you!"

Namine and Roxas had finished they're scene and were heading back to the dressing rooms. Talking to Namine became easier for Roxas. She really was a good friend.

Now, he had to sell it as a lovely-dovey relationship to get Olette back. That part was easier. Because romantic relationships are very similar to friendships. Roxas knew that. That's why 6,000 fansites on the internet are devoted to the fan pairing of Roxas and his best friend Axel. Seriously, they were just good friends. Nothing more. Yet, many fangirls of boy slash relationships beg to differ. They had even named them "AkuRoku"

Anyways, Roxas being Namine's fake boyfriend would be easy. All her had to do was be her friend, maybe give her a flower or two. Then, let the paparazzi and the fangirls take it from there!

"Roxas," Namine began, interrupting Roxas's thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Would, perhaps, like to come with somewhere?"

"Sure. Where to?"

"Near Castle Oblivion."

"Hayner, you really didn't have to do this."

"No, I want to."

Olette and Hayner had become the talk on campus. It was infamously known that Hayner liked Olette. Everyone knew. Except for Roxas and her. Once the two broke up, everybody had encouraged Hayner to step up to the plate. That's why he was acting extra nice.

Hayner and Olette were now walking out of class. Hayner was carrying all her books. Olette had insisted he shouldn't, but he wasn't listening to her.

"Olette, I called up my parents and they want to arrange a time for all of us to have dinner," Hayner informed her.

"Hayner, we've only gone on one date. Isn't this a bit too soon? And I told you, this is pretend."

She hated that he was treating her so nice. She was using him. She knew it. He knew it. And Olette felt a little bad. Hayner really likes her. And maybe that alone could make Roxas jealous. The paparazzi have been following her less, but there were about three left that followed her around. Therefore, they had caught sight of their dates. It should be published in a magazine soon enough.

Olette's eye widened. She remembered she forgot her book in class. And there was a TEST tomorrow. She looked back at the building she exited. Hayner noticed the concern on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot my book!" Olette said, panicked.

"Just share mine. We could study together."

"But -- !" Olette began.

"Just relax. Can't take a test all tense, right?"

Olette sighed. She was defeated.

"Hi, mom."

Roxas and Namine stood in front of the grave of Namine's mother. The cemetery was near Castle Oblivion. It was built there after a massacre in the castle. The two were paying their respects to Namine's mother. Namine had a unreadable expression on her face. Roxas stood their silently as she prayed. Namine turned to Roxas, asking him if wanted to pray as well. He did so.

"Mom, this is Roxas. He's my new friend. I'm really glad I met him. I'm an actress now. It's actually easier than I thought. And I met some new people, though, I haven't made many new friends. That's okay. I just want you to know I'm really happy," Namine said, facing the grave.

"You shouldn't lie to your mom."

"I'm not lying."

"You shouldn't act to your mom then," Roxas said, correcting himself.

Namine giggled. She shook her head. She slowly turned to Roxas.

"Honestly, I am happy. I'm really glad you came to. It's not as enjoyable to come here alone. I'd just end up crying and be all depressed. But the fact you came, it's less lonely. So I'm happy," she said, smiling with that truly illustrated that she really did feel happy.

Roxas stared at her. She continued to smile. She was truly a sweet girl. He then turned to the grave.

"Um, Namine's mom, I just want to tell you that Namine's a very nice girl. You probably know that. Well, she's just great. And, um, I'll do my best to make her happy," Roxas said, stumbling to find the right words.

"It sounds like you're asking her if you can marry me."

Roxas turned to her with a slight blush, "No! I just...!"

"Just kidding! Am I bad at these jokes?" Namine asked.

"No...they're good I guess."

The two ended up staying a bit longer. Sitting down on the grass in, they'd talk to the grave and then back to each other. It was actually a bit nice. It had eventually got to the comfortable silence. It was Namine who broke it.

"Roxas, you know you are attractive."

"I am, aren't I?" Roxas said a with a smirk.

"I'm just saying, looking good can only get you so far. I really don't want you end up lonely for the rest of your life. You come off a bit mean and being obsessed with yourself is a bit of a turnoff for most people."

"I won't be lonely. I have Sora, Kairi, Axel, Pence, Hayner, Olette, and I have you."

Namine was silent. A sad looked washed upon her face. She forced a smile and nodded.

"I guess you do."

"So why'd you bring me here?" Roxas asked.

"I told you. It's less sad if I don't go alone," Namine said.

"Yeah, but you didn't have to bring me. You have other friends, right?"

"Not many, really. Just you and a few people back home. But even if I had a lot more friends, I'd still pick you to come with me," Namine said softly.

"Why?"

"Because I trust you," she replied, with a genuine smile.

"I don't get this! Ugh. Number 5 makes absolutely no sense at all!" Olette said, scratching your head.

Olette and Hayner were back at her apartment, studying for the test tomorrow. They were doing the practice worksheet the teacher had given them to help them study. Olette was having trouble. They were doing all this work on her kitchen table because her desk seemed too small for the both of them.

"Listen, stupid, it's simple," Hayner said as he began explaining the problem.

Olette tried to follow along. She did admit it sounded a whole lot simpler when Hayner said it.

"But don't you round it to 330,000 because of the sig figs?" Olette asked.

"No. There are three sig figs so you round it to 326,000. But you don't write it like that. You write it in scientific notation," Hayner explained.

"When did you get so smart?"

"Well, you did say once you wished Roxas was smarter..." Hayner's voice trailed off, a slight blush appeared on his cheeks.

Olette stared at him. She never knew he actually listened to her when she'd complain about Roxas. She now felt worse about using him. He studied harder because of her. He used to be failing all his classes, and she had to tutor him. Now he was tutoring her.

"Hayner, thank you," she said softly.

"You're welcome."

"Roxas, where are we going?" Namine asked as they walked around town.

"Just trust me," he said as they neared the flower shop.

Roxas told Namine to outside as he went in. Not long after, he came back with a single rose. Namine smiled brightly when she saw it.

"Oh my. It's beautiful. But I think we bought enough roses for mom," she said.

"It's not for your mom. It's for you. I wanted to give a you a daisy, but they don't have any and...this rose is just to cheer you up."

"But I'm already happy."

"No, you can't be. It must really suck that your mom is dead and your dad walked out on you. Even if you're happy that I'm with you, you're still probably sad that your mom isn't here. So just take it."

Namine smiled warmly and took it. She held it close to her heart.

"Thank you."

It was then a camera flashed. Roxas and Namine turned to their right and saw a reporter. Soon more of the paparazzi came.

"Roxas! Roxas! Tell us about you're date with Namine today!"

"Roxas! Tell us about how you feel about your ex girlfriend, Olette's new boyfriend."

This surprised Roxas.

"What?! What do you mean?" Roxas asked.

"Olette's been dating a boy named Hayner."

Roxas froze. Namine noticed this. She studied the look on his face. It was then everything clicked to her. A frown appeared on her face.

"Roxas, you still like Olette, don't you?" she asked.

Roxas turned to her, trying to find his words. The paparazzi eagerly awaited his answer.

"Namine, can we talk about this when the paparazzi's gone or something?" he asked.

"No. You still like her. And you want her back. But knowing you, you are just too stubborn to go up to her and tell her. But you decide to use me instead to make her jealous. Tell me I'm wrong. And don't act," Namine said, showing the fact she was upset.

Roxas was silent. The cameras flashed. The tape was rolling. His plan was revealed right in front of the world.

"So you just did this, all of this, just to make it look like we're dating and Olette would get jealous? But Roxas, it looks like she's moved on. So what now? What now after you lied to to me? Has everything you told me just one big lie?" Namine stopped herself and sighed, "I'm not angry at you Roxas. I can never be angry at you. But I am disappointed."

Namine then walked away. Roxas stared at the fading figure. The paparazzi began firing more questions at him. He turned to them angrily.

"GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE!" he yelled, shoving and pushing them away.

Roxas knew he had to crush a few daisies. But he never knew he had to crush a rose.

A/N: Well, the truth finally came out. it had to eventually. I had to get this out of the way, so I can work on Nami and Roxie's relationship more. Roxas still trying to get Olette back is in the way.

Oh wow. I've put that this story would have SoKai in the summary, but there's been nothing about them so far except for some brief mentions of them getting married soon. More of them will be coming starting the next chapter. Also the Haynette sort of started in this chapter. Sorry if I forsake those couples. But we're all here mostly for Nami and Roxie so...x3

Btw, sorry if this chapter ahs any errors. I wanted to get this up as soon as possible, and I'm a bit busy right now (memorizing line for skit, doing the ridiculous amount of work Kubina gives, looking for a book for my report, replaying the first ten days of KH:358 Days/2 because I didn't save it the first time, and getting ready to watch Heroes [who's a fan? 8D])

archerrylime: Thanks!

iRhyme: Roxas does have weird manners in my story, but we love him anyway ;O

Shadow Kissed 1992: Thanks! All will be revealed in due time.

xxlottexx: I cannot answer those questions.

NiwaRiku: Nami's past will be revealed eventually (around the twelfth chapter maybe)

timbermoonkiss: Thank you the suggestion. I do appreciate it when people give me advice (even though I might be reluctant at first to take it). I'll try to add more details. Olette does want Roxas back. I'm sorry if her intentions are not very clear (she appears so little so far). Technically it's frozen yogurt :P The time, I confess, I did not put much thought into. So that's why it's a bit like "wut?". Let's just pretend that this is super special frozen yogurt that doesn't melt quickly at all.
