DISCLAIMER: Let's get the record straight…I don't even own the money in my wallet! You think I'd own Kingdom Hearts or its associated characters? No! There…I made my point…
Previously…in our last chapter….
He hurled the other pillow in his hand at Axel, this time actually succeeding in knocking him square in the face.
Roxas laughed and walked out the door, a smile clearly plastered across his face as he walked by Axel.
"Shut up Axel…"
"Hurry up man! They're not going to be waiting for us just because we're the hired help!"
Roxas frowned, but picked up the pace anyway and trailed behind Axel like a child behind his mother. He had no idea where they were heading, or how they were getting there but was quick to follow anyway. He had been excited at the prospect of leaving Twilight Town behind him for the summer, but was not expecting to leave so soon. Axel had given him the news just two days prior, and this morning had proceeded to waking him up with a rock through the window and into his face. Before he knew it, he had two duffle bags packed and was locking all the windows in his small apartment for the summer.
"Axel, are you ever going to tell me where we are going?"
"No, now shut up and start picking up the pace before I decide to leave you behind instead!"
Roxas deepened the frown on his face, "I am! You're the one that's practically running!"
"Just shut up and walk faster…"
"You know…you could've warned me ahead of time that you were leaving in just two days!"
Axel laughed, "Not my fault man! Blame it on the ship! They weren't expecting it this soon…before I knew it I get a call from my guy at the cruise company at 5 in the morning asking me to come into work two days earlier than expected…"
Roxas groaned, "Couldn't you just have left me behind and sent for me later?"
"Did you really want to stick around here that badly for the next month?"
Roxas stopped dead in his tracks. Moping around Twilight Town did not seem like the most desirable thing to do. For one, now that Hayner and Olette were "official", as many in town put it, it was obvious Roxas would see less and less of them. Not that he wanted to see them at all to begin with. As for Pence, he had been carted off to film camp for the summer and was not likely to return until school started up again.
All in all, it was either leave with Axel or stay behind alone in Twilight Town.
Roxas shook his head, it was more than obvious to him now that he had made the right decision.
"Come on man! Hurry the hell up!"
He picked up the pace, trailing behind Axel and up Sunset Hill to parts unknown.
"The train station?"
Axel smirked, then dropped his bags on the floor in front of him.
"Well yeah…how else did you think we were going to get to the port?"
Roxas scratched his head, and after deliberating for a moment, concluded that the local train was the best way to go.
"Well…a taxi would've been more direct…"
Axel laughed, "You got twenty bucks to spend on a cab to the port?"
"Good point…student discount fare it is…"
Both boys dropped to the floor, then sat and waited for their train to arrive. Early morning rays from the sun slowly crawled their way towards them as the minutes ticked by. Roxas couldn't help but itch with a slight hint of impatience.
"How long is this going to take?"
"Any minute now…" was Axel's reply.
Roxas sighed, it seemed like an eternity.
"Cheer up…there it is…"
Roxas turned his head up, and sure enough, there came the train in the distance. Before he knew it, he was on his feet with both his bags in his hands.
"Whoa man, the train ain't here yet! Step back a little unless you plan to ride the train all the way over there on the wheels."
As the train pulled into the station, the rays of the sun finally caught up to both boys standing on the platform.
"All those heading to Twilight port please step on!"
Axel smiled, both bags at the ready and jumping on. "I call shotgun! Window seat is totally mine!"
Roxas laughed, "Fine, just don't hog the arm rest."
"Roxas! Wait!"
He cringed, that voice was the last one he wanted to hear.
"Please! Stop for a second!"
Roxas turned slowly around, and sure enough, there was Olette running towards him as fast as she could.
"Olette…what are you doing here?"
She stopped in front of him, catching her breath as best she could.
"I wanted …to see…you…before you left…"
He stared down at her, at a loss for words.
"Why?"
"The lady at the ice cream shop told me. She said you were leaving for the summer…is this true?"
"I'm getting on a train aren't I?"
Axel stuck his head out of the train door, slightly frowning at the sight of Olette on the platform.
"Dude…we don't got all day! Hop on already!"
Roxas turned back to Axel. "Ok! Keep your damn pants on! I'll get on right now!"
Axel shrugged, then slipped back inside.
"Roxas…please don't leave…I have a real bad feeling about this…"
"Its fine Olette…I'll be back before school starts. You have a nice summer with Hayner, and say hi to Pence for me next time you get a chance to talk to him."
Roxas turned, then slipped onto the train.
"Roxas! Please be careful! And I'm sorry!"
As he made his way down the corridor and into the seat next to Axel, he could clearly hear Olette out of their side window. He pushed the window open, then stuck his head out in order to respond.
"Sorry for what?"
She yelled back over the noise of the train.
"I'm sorry about the whole Hayner thing! I didn't know! I'm sorry! Please be careful! Come back soon!"
Roxas waved, then stuck his head back in and shut the window.
Olette stood alone on the platform, watching as the train slowly pulled away from sight.
"Please come back Roxas…"
Back on the train, Roxas slowly leaned back against his own seat, a slight smile gracing his face.
Axel smirked at this, apparently quite amused.
"You believe her?"
He laughed, a solitary response escaping him.
"No."
So there you have it everyone! I feel bad for Olette now! I think I treated her a little too harshly, but given the situation it makes sense! I mean honestly, if someone you've liked forever turns around and starts dating your best friend, would you be all happy and friendly? No, of course not! See? Case closed!
Any who, don't get me wrong! I love Olette as much as the next girl! I've even drawn her a few times before this! SO before anyone asks, I am not an Olette hater. I just decided to write up Roxas' attitude towards her a bit differently than most! Hope no one pelts me in the head for it later…
Anyway…you know the drill…
Review and make me happy!
