Impressions
First impressions are important, but they're not everything.
Riku's first impression of Xion was that she was a fake, a strange imitation of his two best friends combined... something that highly disturbed him. He'd wondered if the Organization had created her specifically to get to him.
(They hadn't, but he was more right than he cared to be about her.)
He knew her first impression of him was probably pretty awful, too. He'd acted like a heartless jerk, after all.
Looking at her now, sitting at the clock-tower with ice-cream in hand, he's glad they gave each other another chance.
Author: Set some time after Xion comes back, but before they're really involved. :)
First impressions are often wrong... Some of my best friends were met in strange ways. XD Things usually work out for the best, I guess.
See ya next time! :D
