SORA
"What the heck happened to your arm?!" Axel screamed in horror pointing at Roxas's arm.
Roxas growled.
"OKAY! Everyone listen to me so I don't have to explain this again! Arron stabbed me with the needle that was designed to kill Sora. Sora is fine now but I'm not. Unless we somehow are able to reverse the solution that was in the needle, I'm going to die." Roxas said rubbing his temples.
"Is it true you saw everyone's Anti-selves there?! Like Anti-Kairi?" Axel laughed. I thought I was going to punch him!
"What? There's an Anti-Kairi?" Kairi asked intrigued with the idea.
"Oops, was I not suppose to tell her that?" Axel whispered to me.
I shook my head.
"We don't have time for this! Roxas is going to die unless we help him!" I screamed flailing my arms. After all we had been through I wouldn't allow him to die like this!
"yeah…what should we do?" Roxas said flatly not believing we could even save him.
"Dang it Roxas! Have some faith!" I screamed at him. Roxas's wasn't even fazed.
"What happened to Riku and Arron?" Roxas asked suddenly.
"Beets me, unless you are talking about that handsome Riku with the long silver hair, then I would say I am right here!" Riku laughed, smiling brightly for all to see. Kairi stood alarmed.
"It's okay. This is the good Riku." I explained.
"Woah!" Riku said noticing Roxas's arm for the first time.
"What happened to your arm!? It's a beast!" Riku screamed jumping up and down pointing.
"DANG YOU AND YOUR MOTHER!" Roxas screamed.
"What-what'd I do?" Riku asked innocently.
"Guys!! We don't have time!" I yelled at all of them. Suddenly I realized someone was missing.
"Where's Stephanie?" I asked with little interest.
"She went to visit Santa Clause." Annie said plainly.
"What-there really is a Santa Clause?!" Riku screamed in delight.
"Work with me people! How can we save Roxas?!" unrepentantly Namine started to jump up and down.
"Do you have to go to the bathroom or something?" Riku asked her annoyed.
"No! I have an idea how to save Roxas! Remember when-" Annie cut her off.
"-Cut to the chase please!" She screamed at Namine.
"Will you just shut up!" Namine shot right back.
"This isn't going to be pretty…" I sighed.
"I hate you." Annie said staring with increasing hatred at Namine.
"News flash, I hate you too." Namine said back, then she jumped! She jumped right on top of Annie.
"Ahh! Take that!" She screamed. Even though Annie was small she could pack a punch! Roxas stood immediately and grabbed Annie, I followed suit grabbing Namine.
"So what was your idea Namine?" I asked trying to get her off the subject and idea of attacking Annie.
"I can draw the antidote!" She smiled with pleasure.
"That's brilliant!" Axel said nodding his head. I let Namine go and she ran to the house.
"Where is she going?" I asked the group.
"probably to get her notebook." Kairi said folding her arms.
"you know what…I got to go to the bathroom." Riku said darting to the house.
"Well that was random." Axel said laughing as we all watched Riku potty dance to the house.

RIKU POINT OF VIEW
Life is so confusing! Knowing that was just about the only thing that wasn't confusing. I watched as Namine fumbled through her drawers to find her notebook. She sighed in frustration and tucked a stray blond piece of hair behind her ear.
"Namine can I ask you a personal question?" She jumped startled then nodded her head suspiciously.
"What do you want to ask me?" She questioned when I hesitated.
"Why do you still love Roxas?" I questioned her saddened face. She stared at me for a long minute.
"There's a connection-that even if he denies…it's there. And it will always be there. He may not want it…but it is there." Her face turned pink then red.
"Seriously! He's a filthy, backstabbing, stupid guy!" I yelled at her.
"He can't go on loving both of you forever." I said widening my eyes.
"I know…" she said looking down. For some odd reason my heart accelerated and I felt…weird. I had never felt this for Namine but suddenly it was so strong I wanted to reach out and hold her in my arms. All the love I once held for Kairi swarmed around Namine.
"Namine, I know this is really random, and…I don't know why or how this has happened but…" I couldn't really finish my sentence, I was never one to hold back my feelings…I was always blunt and to the point but now…I couldn't get my words out.
"This is the Kairi's Riku. She always loved you, not like she loves Sora but she always loved you as a brother, when you're being nice and sweet….like this. I can see why." Namine said back, smiling at me with lovingly eyes.
I wrapped my arms around her.
"Namine…I think I love you." I stuttered. At least I had gotten it out. She looked up and me staring me in the eyes.
"This is a little fast Riku…but I will think about it. Think about us." She clarified. She pulled away and found her notebook sitting on her desk. She grabbed it, throwing me a smile. She walked gracefully out of the room that left me in awe.
She said she would think about us, I could wait.
SORA PONIT OF VIEW
Namine and Riku returned, I couldn't help but realize Namine blush as she looked at Riku. She sat down, crossing her legs and began to draw. Everyone watched in awe. She was very good. Roxas started to breathe weird, like every breath he took could be his last, Annie stared at him in horror.
"Finished!" Namine called. Suddenly a bottle of green solution appeared in Roxas's hand. He smiled and gulped that potion down. Almost immediately his arm went back to normal, same with his breathing. "Why didn't you just draw the first potion to get us out?" Roxas teased.
"Because I was inside Kairi, and Kairi doesn't have my gift. She can't draw." She replied sharply to Roxas.
"Guys…"Riku stared.
"What?" I asked speaking for the group.
"Can we go see Santa now? I mean is he really real!?" Riku laughed jumping up and down like a five year old. We all laughed along.
"Yeah he's real…we could go see him if everyone is up to it." I suggested.
Everyone nodded their heads.
"Okay Riku, it's your lucky day. Looks like were going to go meet Santa!"
