A Word from the Author: Hello everyone, it's jediclonecowgirl, with the second chapter of "Summer Breeze". Let's get started shall we?

The friends sat on the beach near the sea. They were discussing, what they were supposed to do throughout the day. Hayner, Pence, Roxas and Olette had promised to teach the others how to do a famous sport, which came from Twilight Town. It was called Struggle. It was played with bats. The two fighters had to beat each other with those bats. Those beatings also could be blocked, but if you were able to hit your opponent you got one point. How many points were needed to win could change everytime you hosted a tournament. Hayner and Roxas had a reputation in Twilight Town with their skills in that sport, since they often took part in Struggle tournaments, that were hosted in Twilight Town very often.

"So...it's basically like sword fighting with bats?", Sora asked.

"Pretty much.", Roxas replied.

"We only have four bats, so we can only play one match at once, but the others can keep score.", Hayner said.

"Who's first?", Olette asked.

Riku raised his hand and stood up. It turned out that Riku and Roxas played the first match.

"RIKU! RIKU! RIKU!", Sora and Kairi cheered.

"ROXAS, ROXAS, ROXAS!", Hayner, Pence and Olette cheered.

"Three, two, one...STRUGGLE!", Namine yelled and the Struggle match began.

Riku and Roxas were battling for domination. Roxas had to admit, that Riku was doing pretty good for a beginner. Riku had almost hit his side twice and since they were playing on a low number of points, the match could be decided very quickly. Roxas took aim for Riku's shoulder, but Riku managed to block.

"You are good for a beginner, you know that?", Roxas asked.

At this moment Riku aimed for Roxas's side again and this time Roxas couldn't block quick enough. He fell into the sand.

"First point to me.", Riku said and offered Roxas a hand to help him up.

Roxas accepted Riku's hand and let himself be pulled up by Riku.

The match went on, with three beats in the air from Riku. Roxas was still a bit better, then Riku, since he was more experienced in the sport. He knew not to beat blindly in a struggle match. Hayner didn't remember that once and it had all resulted in him losing against Setzer, one of the best at Struggle in Twilight Town. Roxas chuckled at this memory, but he almost didn't notice, that Riku aimed for his legs now. Roxas managed to jump seconds, before the Riku's bat hit his legs.

"Gotta stand up earlier for this Riku.", Roxas snickered.

"Whoa...didn't even know, that this was allowed.", Riku said.

"What to dodge your opponet's strike?", Roxas taunted and went for Riku's legs.

Riku couldn't jump quick enough. He was the one ending up in the sand this time . With a grin Roxas helped him up. The match went on for almost half an hour. Roxas came outta it the victor.

"You did good Roxas.", Riku said.

"All that's right Riku, you almost managed to beat me.", Roxas replied with a grin.

The next match was Olette against Kairi. Kairi came outta it the victor. Olette always said, that she had let Kairi win. Then Sora against Pence. Sora came outta it the victor. It was no surprise to Roxas, Hayner and Olette, since Pence was the worst of them, when it came to Struggle. He only did it for fun and never took part in any tournaments. As Namine offered to go into the house to get some seasalt ice cream, Kairi followed her. Namine noticed, as they already were in the kitchen.

"At the first match...who did you want to win?", Kairi asked.

"Why are you asking me that?", Namine asked back.

"Personally...I wanted Riku to win.", Kairi said, as if she hadn't noticed Namine's question.

Namine didn't awnser, grabbed a pack of ice cream from the freezer and went outside again. Kairi followed. To pry outta her, that she liked Roxas would be more tough to do, then she had thought. As Kairi came back to the beach Namine was already handing out ice cream to everyone. She tossed one in Kairi's direction after noticing, that she was back on the beach too. After everyone had eaten ice cream, they had a new Struggle match. Olette against Namine. First it was supposed to be Hayner against Namine, but Hayner had denied, since he didn't want to fight against a girl, let alone one, who had never held a Struggle bat before. In this match one bat thing happened: Olette accidently hit Namine's face with her bat. Namine tumbled back in the sand, but stayed conscious.

"Are you okay Namine?", Roxas asked.

Namine got back to her feet, stopping Olette, who was apologizing wildly, with it.

"I'm fine Roxas really...though I don't think, that I'll take part in Struggle fights ever again.", Namine replied, sitting back down with the others.

At this moment Riku poked Namine in the side and pointed over to Sora and Kairi.

"Get your sketchbook and pencils Namine. Sora fell asleep on Kairi's lap.", Riku said between chuckles.

"Cute...has a peaceful look to it.", Olette whispered.

Namine zoomed in the house to get her sketchbook and her pencils. If there was one thing Namine loved, it was drawing.

"Let's just hope your cousin sleeps long enough for Namine to draw him like this.", Hayner whispered over to Roxas.

"Aw...don't worry...Sora is a heavy sleeper. You could set off a bomb next to him, while he's sleeping and the guy wouldn't notice.",

Namine gave Riku a smile and began to draw Sora sleeping on Kairi's lap. Namine was quite amused by her two friends. After a few minutes, and Sora was still asleep, Namine was done. Riku, Roxas, Hayner, Pence and Olette leaned over to Namine to see how the picutre had turned out. Namine really had a talent for drawing. She really had gotten Sora's face, while sleeping. At this moment Sora woke up. Namine quickly shut her sketchbook and slipped it into her beach bag, but they all couldn't keep themselves from chuckling...not even Kairi.

"What are you laughing about?", Sora asked.

"N-nothing...", Riku stammered between chuckles.

Ending Word: So...this was Chapter 2. Man...I really gotta step up my game with this or I'll still be working on this, when this summer is over. Heh...I hope you liked the chapter and I hope, that you'll leave some reviews behind. Now all I have left to say is bye, bye.
