I'm Falling

Look out…. Look out. Everything can be a danger sometimes. Welcome to Radiant Garden.

Now before we begin with the big news today, some of you had wondered what I would do about a lack of intern. Well, have no fear, listeners. Management has already gotten a new intern. I haven't gotten to talk to him much, but he seems nice enough.

Hey, why don't you introduce yourself.

I'm waving at the new intern, but he is just glaring at me. Seems as though he's the shy type, everyone. Well, his name is Zexion, and I'm sure he'll do a great job.

Onto news, today is waxing day. So, be careful while you're out and about. I already fell multiple times on the way to the station this morning.

That's not the only reason I'm falling though, dear listeners. Just the other day I got to actually sit down for a cup of coffee with the absolutely perfect Roxas. The blonde haired beauty seems to get embarrassed quite easily. You should have seen how red his face got, listeners, after I called him Roxy. Oh, and the small frown on his face, so adorable.

He told me that I shouldn't be talking about him on the show, and I felt myself fall even more for him. Not only is Roxy perfect in appearance and intelligence, he also seems to be perfect on the inside. So concerned about me getting in trouble, he was. I still can't believe we were lucky enough to have him move in.

After these pleasantries were out of the way, we began talking about the storm that'd happened over a month ago. It has been a long time, but thankfully I could remember everything perfectly. The way his eyes shone as I told my tale, listeners. It was truly a marvel.

I tried to ask him out for dinner afterwards, but he rushed away before I could even finish my sentence. Scientists always seem to be in a hurry, not that I mind since he was so cute as he rushed off.

Oh, while I was gushing about the love of my life, it appears as though my door has opened a crack and I can see the yellow gaze of Management. Zexion is looking bored in his little room to the side, and I'm a bit upset he didn't warn me about the approaching Management.

Namine would have, but I suppose there aren't many people like our beloved Mayor.

Management's head is almost entirely in the room. His face is drawn in a snarl.

I'm done, I'm done.

I'm holding both hands up, palm out, trying to placate the beast, a title which has only angered him more.

Sorry. I really am done, promise.

I'm trying to be reassuring, and it seems to be working. Management is retracting from the room, but I can still hear his growls outside the door.

I look over to Zexion, who is only staring back at me with a raised brow. Honestly, a warning is always nice, Zexion.

Anyway, back to waxing day. The clinic seems to have gotten an influx of patients due to some falling happening in the street.

The Mayor has issued a report, telling all people to remain safely in doors for the day. Beauty is pain, but that doesn't mean people should needlessly endure pain for the sake of beautiful streets.

Well put, Mayor Namine. What a treasure she's proving to be already.

Zexion, perhaps you should head out there, provide some insight on how things are going.

My new intern is shaking his head.

You can't just not, Zexion. It's your job to get out there.

He is still shaking his head.

…

It appears as though you listeners will have to help me out here instead, perhaps call in when you can if anything of interest happens.

You can answer phones, can't you?

Listeners, Zexion can answer you call. Thank god.

…

Oh, it seems we have our first caller. Zexion is transferring it to me rather quickly. Did you even figure out who it was, Zexion?

Axel?

Well, never mind, I guess. Uh, Kairi, what's going on?

In case you aren't aware, listeners, Kairi is my little sister.

That's right. I was wondering if you were coming over for dinner tomorrow.

Really? That's what you called about?

Well, maybe if you texted me back I would know for sure.

Sigh. Is Sora going to be there?

Of course.

I don't know…I might have plans….

Oh , we both know that's a lie. You just don't want to hang out with Sora.

He's just so… energetic… like a puppy.

And you're a cat person, I know. Just invite Demyx too, he'll help keep Sora busy.

Fine, fine. Now get outta here, you're going to get me in trouble.

Please, as if you need me for that. Bye everyone!

…

Alright, any other callers that are actually going to talk about waxing day?

…No?

It was seriously just my sister verifying dinner plans?

Oh, wait, Zexion is transferring a call now.

Axel!

Seriously!

Dem, please tell me this is about waxing day.

Uh… it can be?

Great, how is it out there.

Well, Nocturne Records doesn't have a great view, too many posters, but from what I can see, things are pretty dead outside. Nothing but waxed streets for the eye to see.

Oh, so people are following Mayor Namine's advice. That's wonderful.

Yup, I'm really digging the empty shop. No annoying customers with awful taste in music, ya know.

Sure. Anyway, now that that's out of the way, dinner tomorrow?

Actually what I called about. I'll be there, Kairi, and I'll make sure Axel and I are on time.

Right. See you then?

You got it. See ya!

…

Well, seems like the streets are clear and waxed. Good day, wouldn't you say, Zexion?

I'm being ignored by my own intern.

Ah well, I can't find it in me to care right now.

We had a few close calls today, everyone, but everything seems to have gone smoothly…and a bit shiny too.

Up next, the billowing wind along empty but glistening streets.

And let's meet again, Radiant Garden, in the next one.
