SORA

"Please tell me Roxie!!" Stephanie pleaded with Roxas.

"Stephanie…I hope you understand but…I can't, or rather, I need to just talk to Axel alone." Roxas said trying to be nice.

"Oh…okay Roxie…" Stephanie said heartbroken. Roxas and I watched as she slumped away and turn the corner.

"So…sorry continue..." Roxas said smiling.

"You can't just go around running everywhere! People here don't like X-members of the organization in all…" Axel started.

'Roxas! No why!? I WANT OUT OF HERE!!' I screamed inside his head.

'Shut up Sora.' Roxas murmured.

Axel started at him in confusion.

"What was that?" He asked cautiously.

"Um…well long story…so where are we again?" Roxas asked quickly trying to change the subject.

"We are in Mid Moon Ville, Got it memorized?" He simply stated.

Roxas didn't waste a second's time and asked another question.

"Why am I here!?" Roxas almost screamed.

"How should I know?" Axel said lifting an eyebrow.

"But…But what the heck is this place?!" Roxas asked again.

'NOOO! NOOO! I WANT OUT OF HERE! I DON'T DISERVE THIS! I PROMISE I WILL NEVER LOOK AT MY PRESENTS BEFORE CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN!" I screamed in Roxas' head.

But I guess I had screamed so hard that he couldn't hear what Axel had said.

"Sora! Will you please shut up!" Roxas yelled back inside his head.

Then he turned his attention back to Axel.

"I'm sorry, Could you repeat that?" Roxas asked politely.

Axel sighed.

"This place is where all nobodies go when their body is dead." He said like it was first grade material.

'I'M WHAT!?' I screamed at Roxas.

'I CAN'T BE DEAD! I'M RIGHT HERE!' I cried.

"Calm down." Roxas said rolling his eyes.

Axel gave 'us' a sour look.

"I am calm…" Axel said clearly confused.

"Oh…yeah…ha-ha…sorry…continue." Roxas said smiling like nothing was wrong.

"Yeah…anyways. You don't remember this place?" Axel said in disbelief.

"Should I remember this place?" Roxas questioned right back.

"Well yeah. I mean you lived here for like a year at least…" He trailed off.

'I'm doomed! MY LIFE IS GOING ON WITHOUT ME! I'M JUST A NOBODY! I WILL NEVER SEE KAIRI AGAIN! MY LIFE IS FORCED TO BE LIKE A CHICKEN POT PIE!' I screamed sadly.

"Hold the phone Sora. What were you saying there? Your life is like a chicken pot pie...and I thought I had problems…" Roxas chuckled.

"OKAY! CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON! Why do you keep saying Sora?" Axel screamed accusingly at Roxas.

"I…well…" Roxas sighed then began to tell him all the events which led to our arrival here.

"So…Sora is inside you!? I mean the keyblade master is INSIDE you!" Axel said amazed at his discovery.

A gasp came from behind us.

"I knew it!" Stephanie said turning to run the other direction.

"Catch her quick!" Axel screamed at Roxas.

Roxas didn't wait a moment as he sped forward.

"Stephanie! COME HERE! We just want to be your friend!" Axel lied.

But 'we' were already at her heels. Roxas grabbed her arm to pulled her to a stop.

"LET ME GO!" She screamed.

Roxas covered her mouth easily.

"how do we get out of here?" Roxas questioned.

It was probably the best question he asked all night.

Axel looked at us with real sadness.

"That Roxas, no one can remember."

*****************************************************

Axel took us to his house. He tied Stephanie to a chair and began to pace.

"You see…Organization XIII…or really Organization 14-" Axel came to an abrupt stop and his face became chalk white.

"What?" Roxas said eyeing him.

"I can't believe it! I mean I just CAN'T believe it! What if…oh my gosh!" Axel said in his own thoughts.

'Did he say organization 14?' I asked laughing.

Roxas laughed too.

"Did you say there were…14 members? Because that's impossible." Roxas said still chuckling.

Axel pursed his lips.

"Roxas…number 14..is well…she is…she is the one that told us how to get out of here, but she didn't come with us. She wanted to stay here. I can't believe I didn't have this memorized!" Axel said smacking his forehead.

Roxas just continued to stare.

"Here's what happened." Axel started.

"When your body dies you, or that persons nobody would come here. All 14 of us were friends…number 14 the newest, one of the smartest, figured out how to get out…Roxas number 14 is…she is your girlfriend. She didn't want to leave though, So she made you promise that you would come back again….WAIT TILL SHE KNOWS YOU'RE HERE!" He said happily.

"Do you mean my girlfriend…Namine?" Roxas said in disbelief.

Axel shook his head.

"No. Number 14 is NOT Namine!" Axel said staring him down.

I was utterly confused but Roxas just laughed.

"What?" Axel said kind of mad.

"you expect me to believe that!" Roxas laughed still harder.

"Roxas…I'm not lying." Axel said seriously.

"No…no Namine is my girlfriend. I don't even remember number '14'!" Roxas said shaking his head.

Stephanie seemed to actually be listening.

'Wow, what are you going to tell Namine?' I joked with him.

"I'm not laughing Sora." Roxas didn't bother saying it in his head.

'Someone is NOT happy.' I said still intrigued with the story.

"What's her name?" Stephanie suddenly asked.

Axel and Roxas stared at her.

"Her name is Annie. I hear though she kept that name from her original self." Axel spoke up.

Out of nowhere, Roxas' head was being filled with lost memories of her. Pictures, movies, everything. It was like she was locked away, but her name unlocked everything.

"I remember her now!" Roxas shouted.

"Oh my gosh Axel! I...I loved her!" Roxas continued.

"I haven't seen her though since I got here…" Axel said sadly.

Stephanie cleared her throat.

"I know Annie." She said looking down.

"Where is she!?" Roxas begged, knelling down to look her at her face to face.

Realization hit me across the face.

'Oh my LANTA! Roxas you still love Annie!' I yelled at him.

"i…i…" His mind was being filled with Annie and Namine. He was silent and confused.

"Can you take us to her?" Axel said, hope shinning in his eyes.

Stephanie nodded her head.

"Roxie?" She asked.

Roxas turned to face her again, still on his knees.

"I…I…I don't think you're evil!" She smiled happily.

"Thanks Stephanie." Roxas chuckled.

'She acts like she is 8 years old!' I said eyeing her childish features.

"you would know!" Roxas said in his mind.

I growled.

"Okay 'Steph'! Take us to her!" Axel said untying her.

Stephanie straightened up and walked out the door.

"I can't believe this." She said as we followed her.

"Can't believe what?" Roxas asked immediately.

"All these years that I have known Annie, She always told me this romantic story about how she loved this boy and he left but promised to come back…I never believed it." Stephanie said deep in thought.

"Better believe it!" Axel said smiling back, proud obviously that he had discovered so many things. Roxas on the other hand was hard to figure out…he was confused and his thoughts her jumbled.

"Where does she live?" Roxas asked nicely. I couldn't help but notice the hint of excitement in it.

"She lives underground, by me." She replied loosely back.

'Is she a MOLE?' I asked sarcastically.

We wandered the streets for what seemed FOREVER until I was really getting hungry, which also implied that Roxas was hungry!

'Roxas! I am DYING! I NEED FOOD! I WANT A CHEESEBURGER!' I moaned.

"How can you think of food at a time like this?!" Roxas yelled at me.

Axel chuckled.

'PLEASE! I'M STARVING!' I screamed again.

Roxas ignored me.

'ROXAS!!! I NEED FOOD!!!!!' I screamed so loud I was surprised Axel or Stephanie didn't hear me.

Roxas sighed in defeat.

"Stephanie is there any good places to eat? Sora is really hungry, and he won't shut up if we don't get him food…it he can be really annoying."Roxas said rolling his eyes.

She giggled.

"I had no idea that the keyblade master was so funny!" She continued to laugh.

"Oh yeah, HILARIOUS!" Roxas said monotone back.

"I do know a good place to eat though! It's called Flash-back! Remember it?" She questioned eagerly.

Roxas searched his memories.

"It's weird but I can only remember a few things here and there…mostly about Annie…"Roxas said concentrating, and then his heart accelerated as he thought about HER.

We rounded a corner which eventual led to flash-back and we quickly picked up some food.

Roxas ate slowly but at least I got my cheeseburger.
