Roxas was on set, waiting for Namine to walk through those doors. He kept glancing at the doors, trying to look like he was reading the script while doing this. There was suddenly a voice that whispered into his ear.

"Pika-boo~"

Roxas jumped at the voice. He turned around to see a certain redhead. He sighed. It was Kairi.

"Kairi, why?"

"For funsies!" she replied.

Roxas grumbled, "I hate it when you do that."

"Really? You loved it when we're dating," Kairi said, thinking back onto the past.

"Whatever. Is Namine here yet?" he asked.

Kairi frowned. She simply shook her head. Roxas let out another sigh. It was then a strange noise came from Kairi's pocket.

'Kyon-kun, denwa! Kyon-kun, denwa! Kyon-kun, denwa! Kyon-kun, denwa! Kyon-kun, denwa!'

Roxas covered his ears and shot a look at Kairi. She giggled. The 'Kyon-kun, denwa!' continued. It was her ringtone.

"Pick it up," Roxas ordered.

"Ah, the memories of Endless Eight," Kairi said, thinking back at the summer of 2009.

She finally took out her cellphone and picked it up. She was a bit surprised at who was calling her.

"Hello?" Kairi said.

Roxas raised an eyebrow and asked who it was. Kairi refused to answer him and continued to listen to the other person talk. Roxas then whispered into her ear, like she did to him before. Kairi then whispered to him, telling him to buzz off.

"Oh sorry, Namine. I was just talking to someone else," Kairi said, clarifying.

Roxas then went alert. He came closer, trying to hear Namine's voice over Kairi's phone. Kairi kept the phone a good distance from Roxas.

"Nah. I heard ya. I think you shouldn't come in though. If you sit out now, you'll get better faster in time for when they plan to shoot the final scene. Plus, we're not really planning on filming any scenes involving your character. It's alright if you don't come."

"Wait, Namine's not coming in today?" he asked in disbelief.

Kairi nodded, continuing her conversation with Namine.

"Yeah really. Sora's not coming in either. Roxas and I are probably going to have lunch together alone today. So sad. Roxas is going to really miss you~" Kairi said teasingly.

"HEY!" Roxas yelled, trying to get the phone.

Kairi hung up and put it in her pocket. Roxas shot her a dirty look. She smiled.

"It's just you and me today, Roxie," Kairi said, saying the nickname she called him while they were dating.

"Why isn't Sora coming in?"

"He had to go meet up with someone or something," Kairi said with a sigh.


Olette sat quietly during class. She listened as the teacher talked about what was going to be on the test. She really hated this class. She was getting an overall B so far. Her eyes wandered around the room, looking at Hayner a bit longer than anywhere else. Olette saw him blink, trying not to fall asleep. She frowned. Turning to him, she began to whisper.

"You got to stay awake and listen, Hayner. This is important!" she said in a hushed tone.

His eyes looked at her, then away. She bit her lip.

"Whatever," he grumbled.

After class, he stood up and stretched. Olette stared at him. They were so distant. Here they were, right next to each other, but so far away as well. She slowly reached out to him.

"Hay -- !" she began but was interrupted by Hayner, himself.

"I better head back to my apartment now," he said, walking toward the door.

Olette mouth didn't close. She took deep breaths. She wanted to speak to Hayner. She quickly ran up to him. He was almost out of the door. She then grabbed onto the back of his shirt. He slowly turned around to look at her. Olette had a look of desperation now.

"Please, Hayner, I need to know. Do you hate me?"


Kairi and Roxas sat in his dressing room. The next scenes that were being shot were just about side characters and their subplots. Roxas wouldn't have to do another scene till the the end of the day. They saw on the couch, bored out of their minds.

Roxas, being the great actor he is, took out his script to look over. He wanted to make sure he had some lines down.

"So the last scene is coming up soon?" Kairi began, striking up conversation.

"Yup. The one where Namine and I say some stuff that's supposed to make viewers cry buckets of tears and kiss."

"You sound a bit happy about that last part," Kairi said a smirk.

Roxas blushed and looked away, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh come on! It's sooo obvious you like Namine. She's cute, pretty, and a great actress. You're really lucky that Sora found her," Kairi said.

"Sora's great at this stuff. He's just a great manager. And a great finance, according to you."

Kairi grinned, happy that the topic was about her and Sora. She began to go on and on about how perfect Sora was. Roxas could barely keep up. Kairi's voice became softer the more and more she spoke. Roxas began to notice this.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Y-yeah. It's just...Sora's great and all, but I really wish he was more assertive. He never fights with me. He tries, but he can't bring himself to do it."

"That's because he loves you so much."

"I know, but I still feel that needs to speak up more. I'm making every decision in our relationship. I even asked Sora to propose to me. I don't even know if he thinks this is too soon or anything. When there's a problem nowadays, Sora just walks away from it. He doesn't try to fix it or anything. He'll keep on apologizing, but he'll do nothing. I'm not sure if he's marriage material," Kairi confessed, letting out a sigh.

"Well, Sora's only human. Have you ever told him you feel this way?" Roxas asked.

"Well...not really."

"There's your problem."

Roxas continued to explain what Kairi should do about Sora. Kairi couldn't believe how knowledgeable Roxas was about this kind of stuff.

"When did you get all like a therapist?" Kairi asked.

"I don't know. I guess Namine's 'therapy' thing is rubbing off on me. She's all like 'you can be obsessed with yourself forever' or 'talk to your parents more because family bonds are important' and all that stuff," Roxas said, recalling the previous advice she gave him.

"And you listen to it?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Roxas," Kairi began, "You seem so different now. You're changing."

Roxas huffed, "Like I would be changing just because of some girl. That's a total chick flick cliche."

"Still, you can't deny that Namine is a good influence for you."

Roxas grumbled, knowing this was true. Kairi smiled. Roxas acted like the little brother she always wanted. She took the script in his hand and looked over it. It did have a lot of lines for the final scene. They were lengthy too. Kairi then suggested that they would practice the lines together. Roxas agreed. Kairi read off the script while Roxas tried to say it from memory. He forgot a few words, but he had corrected himself soon after.

"'I love you, Aqua'," Roxas said as Ventus.

"'I love you too, Ven'," Kairi said, reading off the script, "Now the stage directions say they kiss. Really passionately. Wow, Roxas, you're going to have SOOO much fun with Namine in this scene."

"Oh shut up!" Roxas said, lightly shoving her.

They continued to talk. The topic eventually shifted into one about Sora once again.

"I can't believe I'm getting married," Kairi said, laying back onto the couch.

"It's the point of no return."

"Yup," Kairi sighed. She turned slightly to Roxas, "Thanks for putting up with me. You have to shoot your scene soon right?"

"Yeah. And I wasn't putting up with you. I like being with you."

"You sure? You haven't really talked to me one on one since our breakup."

"Sorry."

"It's alright."

Roxas began to get off the couch. He stretched a bit and started heading out the door. Kairi got up as well, running over to him. She stopped him from leaving. He turned to face her. She smiled and held her arms out. He sighed and hugged her. They hugged for a quite a bit. They broke apart after a while.

Roxas left his dressing room, entering the hallway. He looked around. He could have sworn he heard something. The hallways were dead empty. Maybe he was imagining things.


"Hate you?" Hayner repeated, "Why would I hate you?"

"You are avoiding me. I don't blame you if you hate me. I used you and hurt your feelings and all," Olette frowned.

Hayner shook his head, "I could never hate you Olette. I just...I don't know."

Olette came closer to Hayner, hanging her head a bit low.

"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Please just say that you're still my friend," Olette begged as her eyes began to water.

"Whoa! Let's not get to emotional here! Olette, we're the best of friends. You know that," Hayner insisted, trying to reassure her.

He wrapped his arms around her. She buried her face into his chest. The two stood there, not even bothering to walk to their next class.

"What if I told you I might like like you?" Olette sniffled.

"I might be happy."

"Would you believe me?"

"Yes."

"Would you want to give us a second chance?

"...Yes."

Olette smiled and hugged him tighter. Hayner softly smiled back.


Roxas entered the cafeteria after shooting his scene. Instantly, his face brightened when he saw Namine sitting there. He immediately went to sit next to here and greeted her.

"I heard you were sick," Roxas said.

"I feel better now," Namine said weakly.

"You sure?"

"Positive."

Namine then bit her lip and looked away. She then looked back at him. Roxas could tell she was going to say somrthing serious by the look in her eyes.

"Roxas, I have something I want to tell you. I -- !"

"WHO WANTS TO COME TO MY PARTY?!"

Roxas and Namine turned to see a spiky-haired redhead with green eyes. This was Axel, Roxas's best friend. Axel was the son of the guy who founded some big website. Axel himself was an actor. That was how he and Roxas met actually. Axel smiled and came up closer to the two.

"Roxas, I'm throwing a HUGE party and you should totally come. You can even bring this little lady right here, Na-mine," Axel said.

"It's Namine," Roxas corrected, emphasizing the 'nay' sound.

"Whatever, so you coming? It's this weekend."

Roxas looked over to Namine. She smiled brightly and her eyes twinkled.

"I've never been to a party before. I would like to go," Namine answered.

"Well, if Namine's going then..." Roxas began, being cut off by Axel.

"GREAT. It's at 8. Got it memorized? See ya there."


A/N: Kyon-kun denwa is my ringtone...

Bwa. The next chapter is called "Those Three Words Part 3". It'll just be three parts. As you noticed, I added song lyrics at the end of the last chapter. Well, that part of the song inspired me to write that scene. A lot of scenes are inspired by songs in here. Including the title. If you know the song "LoveFool" then you know it's about someone wanting someone else to love them. The "pretend that you love me" part gave me the idea of Roxas using Namine to get back an ex.

On another note, I started writing the chapter about Namine's mom. I started off thinking of her as a wonderful mom, but as I wrote all my ideas for her down, I started to dislike her. :X Yeah, so I need to work on that chapter more to make her better.

Say goodbye to Olette and Hayner for now because they won't be appearing until like the last few chapters. We're going to focus more on Roxas and Namine & Sora and Kairi.

Thanks for the reviews! ;O That made me happy to see them.

A-NONE-ymous.: Thank you :]
