Roxas awoke abruptly, sitting up and looking at his hand. "A key… blade?" He clenched his hand and got dressed, Saiyoku once again looking away. She turned to Riku, "And how did we end up with this job again?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "DiZ had to go somewhere again. Don't ask me why."

"This is his job, so why are we the ones manning it?"

"Because we owe him for restoring Sora's memories."

"Grr… why did we sign up for this?"

"Because you wanted to help Sora." DiZ said as he walked through the doorway. Saiyoku immediately stood up, surrendering the computer. DiZ sat down and pressed a few keys, "So you hate sitting at the computer and watching him, huh? Then why don't you watch him in person?" The same machine that had sent Roxas to the simulated Twilight Town glowed with a small beam.

Saiyoku looked at him like he was crazy, "What?"

"Saiyoku, I think he wants us to touch the beam."

"No way! I am NOT being sucked into a computer!"

"You're going anyway." Riku grabbed her by the arm and dragged her toward it, shoving her arm against the beam. She disappeared in an array of numbers and codes before Riku turned to DiZ.

"How do we get back?"

"Return to the mansion. The beam will be there just like this."

"Got it, but where will we end up in there?"

"The Sandlot."

"All right." He touched the beam and was shot into the computer, DiZ laughing as he disappeared, "Saiyoku has such a problem with technology."

--

Saiyoku digitalized into the empty Sandlot in the same position she had entered, feeling very strange. Riku appeared not long after her. She glared at him, not appreciating the fact that she had practically been shoved into the computer world.

"Why did you have to do that?"

"Well, why did you have to resist so much?"

"Touché." She muttered, "Okay, I'm gonna head over here and see what's up while you go somewhere else."

"You just want to do this alone, don't you?"

"After you got to take Roxas down alone? Heck yeah. See ya later." She headed off into the back alley where the usual spot was. Roxas was right in the middle and Saiyoku quickly pulled up her hood. She leaned against the wall and relaxed a bit.

"A Keyblade…" Roxas muttered, still puzzled about this strange weapon. He looked to his left where there was a small stick lying against the wall. He picked it up and swung it, expecting it to turn into the mysterious key shaped weapon, "What was that about?" He asked himself, and tossed the stick behind him, which hit Saiyoku on the chest.

Um, ow? Saiyoku rolled her eyes at the klutz.

Roxas heard the impact and turned around, his face apologetic, "Oh!"

I'm bored… Saiyoku thought to herself. Sure she had wanted to do this alone, but Roxas wasn't really having an exciting day… so it was almost exactly like watching him on the screen. She walked back into the Sandlot and looked around for something to do, Roxas calling after her, "Sorry… about that…"

She decided she shouldn't REALLY slack off in her duties, or DiZ would be mad. She jumped up onto the scoreboard and onto the building that had a view of the Usual Spot. She couldn't see anything, but she suddenly heard Hayner shout from inside, "That's it, no more ice cream for you!"

"What the heck are they doing in there?" Saiyoku wondered to herself out loud. After awhile, Hayner and the gang rushed out of the Usual Spot and ran over to Station Heights. Roxas was always the slow one of the bunch, and as usual, Hayner directed him over to where they were standing. The other three were looking up at a poster advertising the upcoming Struggle Tournament. Saiyoku managed to catch up with them, watching them on the roof tops.

"Only two days to go. You and I have to make the finals! That way, no matter who wins, the four of us split the prize!" Hayner punched Roxas in the shoulder as a sign of friendship. Roxas smiled, "Okay, you're on."

"You two are gonna clean up!" Pence said, while Olette nodded enthusiastically, "Go get 'em!"

Hayner and Roxas made an 'x' with their right arms in a form of sealing, "It's a promise." Hayner told him, and his best friend nodded.

"You've always had a thing for high places." Riku told Saiyoku from behind her, making her jump, as usual.

"Jeez, Riku, do you have to do that ALL THE TIME? And this time with that voice of yours, you scared me even more so 'cause I'm so used to Ansem having that voice." She scolded him while lowering her hood.

"Relax. You'll get used to it after a while."

"I hope so." She peered over the edge of the roof but didn't see the group of friends, "Agh! Where'd they go?"

"Nice."

"Shut up, it's your fault." She ran toward the Marketplace, hoping that they'd be there. They were, thankfully, but they were all split up, all doing different jobs… everyone except for Hayner, who was nowhere to be seen. Riku had disappeared again, so Saiyoku just sat on the edge of the building, waiting for something new to happen.

"Here. Oh, and Hayner's up at the Station." Riku said again, nearly sending Saiyoku falling off the building from scaring her.

"I hate you…" She said as she turned around, and in his hands were two Sea-Salt ice creams. He was holding one out, but when she reached for it, he pulled away.

"I guess you can't have it then."

"Give it to me, Riku."

"How about when you take that back?"

"Fine… in about a hundred years."

"Now what happened to the fact that you love me?"

"That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you nearly scared me off the roof."

"It has absolutely everything to do with the fact that I nearly scared you off the roof."

"Just give me the ice cream." She stood up and reached for it, but he held both ice creams out of her reach, "Uhn… unfair! You're taller now!"

"I've always been taller than you."

"Yeah, but not this much taller!" She stood on her tiptoes and used his shoulder as something to help her reach, but he slid out from underneath her, almost making her fall over. She sighed and glared at him but decided a different tactic. She curled her lip and formed a pout, but he just laughed.

"That doesn't work."

"It used to." She said, quickly changing her expression.

"Yeah, when you were six."

"And you always fell for it. Now give me the ice cream."

"No." He said simply, hiding the ice creams behind his back. Saiyoku peered over the edge, and a brilliant idea formed in her head. She stepped backward and teetered over, making it look like it was an accident.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" She yelled when she 'tried' to catch her balance. When she fell off, she opened a Dark portal on the side of the building and she dove right inside after catching her footing on a spot beneath a window. She quickly opened another portal inside Betwixt and Between while Riku quickly dashed to the side and looked over, believing her. "Saiyoku?" He called out, starting to worry when he didn't see her.

Saiyoku popped out of another portal right behind him and grabbed her ice cream out of his hands. She closed the portal and stuffed the ice cream into her mouth, smiling and laughing. Riku spun around and Saiyoku could just make out the features of a very scary scowl on his face underneath the hood, which was even scarier since his face looked like Ansem's.

"That. Was NOT. Funny." He said through gritted teeth, but Saiyoku just smiled mischievously, "Never underestimate me when it comes to the deliciousness of Sea-Salt ice cream." She said before taking another bite.

"I have a good mind to REALLY push you off the roof."

"You wouldn't." She told him happily.

"No, I probably wouldn't… but I will do this." He said as he gave her a good roundhouse kick to the shoulder.

"OW!" She exclaimed, just about dropping her ice cream. She stuffed it back into her mouth and peered over the side again. The three that had been stuck working were chatting while heading up the hill to the Station. Saiyoku jumped across building to building, Riku right behind her, to keep up with them. Eventually, they ran out of buildings and stepped through a portal to stand on top of one of the rooftops across from them.

The whole gang grouped together, each handing Olette munny they had earned. She counted it all and returned to the group, smiling.

"Nice work, everyone. Added to what we started with, we now have… Tada! 5000 munny!" She pulled out a unique munny pouch stuffed full with munny and showed it to everyone.

"Sweet!" Hayner exclaimed, and Olette handed Roxas the pouch.

"Saiyoku, Riku!" DiZ's voice resounded inside their heads, and they looked around, and then at each other. Saiyoku scowled, "What is it?"

"Get that munny pouch!"

"Um… okay?" Saiyoku said, but Riku jumped down off the roof, handing her the Popsicle stick that he was finished with. Saiyoku jumped down after him and grabbed his arm before leaving, "Wait. Use this. He hit me with it earlier, so it's payback." Saiyoku handed him a stick that was lying on the ground. Riku shrugged and fizzed out of sight, Roxas tripping and hitting his face hard on the pavement.

The stick landed nearby, a sort of significance towards Saiyoku. Riku grabbed Roxas roughly by the arm and pulled him to his feet, "Can you feel Sora?" He asked him while taking the pouch of munny from his hands.

"What?"

"Roxas! Three minutes!" Hayner yelled at him, and Riku took that time to disappear again by Saiyoku's side.

"Time to go back." He told her, and they stepped into a Dark portal once Roxas and the gang went into the Station.

--

"Restoration at twenty-eight percent." The computerized voice said when the loading bar stopped. Saiyoku sighed and slid down against the wall and sitting.

"Naminè, hurry." DiZ said to himself.

Riku leaned against the wall next to Saiyoku and was busy tossing the munny bag he had stolen up into the air, "Is it really that hard to make a beach?"

Oh, is that what they were up to? Saiyoku thought, leaning her head against her knees. DiZ turned to Riku, "We'd be giving the enemy another entry point."

"And this?" Riku asked, holding out the bag of munny.

"We can always buy some Sea-Salt ice cream." DiZ laughed, and Saiyoku's head immediately perked up, liking the sound of that. He turned back to his monitors, "Objects from that town must be kept out of the real world. You can delete that."

Riku continued to toss it up in the air, thinking to himself, I have a better use for this. Saiyoku rested her head on her knees again when he said that, disappointed. She stood up, feeling restless, decided to visit Sora, where Naminè was hard at work. She looked up at the pod where he was fast asleep. She gave a faint smile,

"Boy… you have no idea how much your best friend misses you, Sora… He's doing everything he can to help you. Wish I could say the same…"
