Sorry for the wait. This piece is gonna be one of those when I feel like it types so the updates will be kinda sporadic. The more reviews, the more motivated however (hint, hint).

Some of these will be short, others longer. Some will be great, others okay.

Don't be expecting brilliance here, just mindless fun and hopefully amusement.

So please enjoy and keep those suggestions coming, kay?

"Have I told you how boring this is?"

"About five times."

"You know," Sora commented setting the controller down. "I'm starting to get annoyed with this."

Riku looked at him. "I told you the beginning was dull."

"Yeah but it's been like," he searched for the time. "Three hours and nothing is happening! What does any of this have to do with me? They could have just done another big old cutscene or something."

"You're only complaining because it isn't you."

"No." Sora countered. He went back to the game. "Hey, go get me a soda."

Riku stood and left. While he was gone, Sora moved Roxas. As he did this, he couldn't help feeling rather depressed by what he was seeing. He didn't want Riku to know but playing this part of the game was disturbing him more than annoying him. He murmured. "I'm sorry, Roxas."

"Here." Riku handed a plastic bottle to him. "Where are you now?"

"Goin' to the train station. Whoa! It's Namine. What's she doin' there?"

"She was always jumping in. Drove Diz nuts."

"Okay and she just walks away." Sora tilted his head. "That was totally random."

Riku had to agree on that one. He still didn't get why Namine had kept jumping at random times to see Roxas.

"Oh don't tell me I'm gonna actually help Seifer and his cronies." Sora complained. "He's a total jerk!"

"Did you just say cronies?" Riku blinked.

"Grrr. Stupid foam bat. Where's my Keyblade?" Suddenly Namine called down to use the Keyblade. "Yeah, thanks for the permission."

Then the screen darkened and Roxas was standing in a stain glass mosaic floor. "I've been there! Only it wasn't there cause the picture was different." Three pedestals appeared. "Oh I know what to do!"

This time he picked the sword. "Just for you, Riku."

"oh how sweet." Was the sarcastic reply.

"Now a giant Nobody's gonna come, right?"

"How'd you…?" Riku asked as just that happened.

"Cause in mine it was a giant Heartless." Sora started fighting. Roxas was held by invisible bonds a few times, grunting in a rather annoying manor before finally the creature gave up and dropped him. Then he was swallowed up by darkness and appeared in a white room.

"Is she gonna finally explain what's going on?" Sora asked. "Hey! Why'd you grab her?"

"She wasn't supposed to be talking to him."

"Ha! Roxas knows you're the thief!" Sora laughed. Just as quickly, he frowned. "Wait, what's with the portal behind him?" Then his jaw dropped and he turned on Riku. "You pushed him through a portal?! Couldn't you have just asked him to leave?"

"You think he would have listened?" Riku retorted.

Sora opened his mouth to protest but then realized Riku was right. "Well you still could have been nicer about it."

"Whatever."

"And you send me back to Seifer?" Nice. Some friend you are."

Riku wasn't sure if he should be worrying that Sora was referring to himself as Roxas or not. It was probably nothing. "That's where you were last."

"Oh, yeah." Roxas was back at the Usual Spot now. "Wow, Hayner sounds really upset."

"Well yeah he thinks Roxas ditched him and Roxas didn't really say anything to dispel the idea." Riku explained since Sora wasn't listen to the dialogue. "And he still didn't go to the beach."

"Why didn't they- oh." He caught that answer. He sounded just as upset as Roxas. "Oh, yeah the Struggle things tomorrow! Roxas forgot that? No wonder Hayner's pissed at him."

Static took over the screen. "Restoration at 46" Sora echoed. "That voice is annoying."

It cut to Diz and Riku. "This is when Diz explains what's going on with Namine."

Sora listened intently. "Wait. He wants Namine dead?"

"He figures she already is. Nobodies don't truly exist remember?"

"Oh, right." Sora frowned. "More flashbacks."

He watched himself flying through light streaks, hovering near the ceiling of a room where Kairi was. Then flinched at the next scene. "I forgot how much that hurt."

Riku didn't reply, knowing there was nothing he could say. He'd already apologized repeatedly for his actions on Hollow Bastion and Sora had each time waved it off. They both know it was something neither one of them would ever forget.

They silently sat through the rest of the memory. When it was finished, Sora glanced at Riku. "The guy in the coat."

"Yeah?" Riku had to refocus himself.

"That was Xemnas."

Riku narrowed his eyes. "I wondered who that was when I saw him. You sure?"

"Pretty."

Well, it seemed as good an idea as any of the one's he'd come up with. "You know, Sora. You got some really loyal friends."

Sora cocked his head.

"Donald and Goofy." Riku explained. "Even though it meant defying an order from the King, they dumped me for you."

Sora rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah well…"

"It's cool." Riku quickly said. "It's not like I was very nice to them. I mean, I pretty much banished them from my presence."

"Yeah, Donald was ready to kill you for that. I think he still has a grudge against you for it."

Not like he really cared what a talking duck thought of him. Of course, that was a bit hypocritical of him. He did consider a mouse king as one of his close friends. There was absolutely no difference between the two but for whatever reason he felt his was the better choice in anamorphic animals.

"Well so ends another day." Sora set down the controller stretched his arms behind him. "Not quite as boring but still enough."

"It's not that bad."

"No, it's just." Sora shook his head. "I don't know. I just want to get through it, that's all."

"Only three more days."
