I LOVE ALL OF YOU WHO REVIEWED! I want you to know that I printed out your reviews and read them to her. And I think she heard you, because there was a spike in brain activity. The doctors tell me that means she has a good chance of waking up in the next month or two! I would like to give a shout out and all my love to CrazyWhatIfGirl who made me cry with all the support and love I got from that review. If I could hug you right now, I would. Love also goes to ZealousZexionZealot, Gull Sr, and Alyssa the Dovahkiin.
I would also like to let you know that reading how supportive and caring you guys are to her, and me, has given me enough courage to actually post a story of my own. It was an idea the two of us were thinking up. Thank you all so much, from her and myself, WE LOVE YOU ALL!

Chapter 5 – Waiting for the Sunshine
Roxas:
It hurts.
It hurts so much!
STOP IT! PLEASE!
Vincent:
I arrived at Happy Hearts in just under 3 minutes. Impressive, seeing as how I live on the other side of town.
But this isn't time to brag.
I literally leap out of my car, leaving the engine running and the door open. Just begging for someone to steal it. I didn't care at the moment.
Please let the kid be okay.
I burst through the door and see a young and skinny boy with fire truck red hair. He jumps up surprised by my barging through the door.
"Are you the one mo- Aerith- t-told me to call?" in his nervousness he stumbles over his words, but I can tell it's the kid I spoke to. I nod briskly.
"Follow me then." He turns and darts of down the left hallway, and stands waiting for me by a white door. "In there. That's where they brought him."
Him? Oh! Must be the injured kid.
I mumble a 'thanks' then head into the room. It's the infirmary, never a good sign. I pass by Cloud leaning against a wall, arms and legs crossed and positively furious. I don't think I've ever seen him this mad. Not even when Zack set a chocobo loose at his 25th birthday party.
I run the last few steps to Aerith, seeing her hurriedly cleaning the cuts and scrapes on a small blond boy lying unconscious on a gurney. My eyes professionally take in everything and I immediately notice why Aerith needed me. His insides were torn, excessively. And he had a rather nasty looking gash on the side of his head. That'll need stitches.
I waste no time in setting down my case and whipping out my supplies. I start sewing the head wound first.Hmm… It's jagged and if I'm not mistaken there were shards of something in here. Most likely caused by either glass or a mirror.
I move away from his head and Aerith instantly swoops in to bandage it. I move lower and position the boys legs apart so I can see what I'll need to do better. I can tell this'll be tricky.
Axel:
I did what mommy asked. Now all I can do is wait.
I don't know the kid, saw him today for the first time! But yet..
I'm so worried for him. I never felt this worried before. Not when I told Aerith what Daddy did. Not when father beat me. Not even when mother was in the hospital!
It felt weird to worry so much.
I fidgeted anxiously in the chair sitting right in front of the infirmary door. As the clock ticked by, I began walking. Walking turned into pacing. Pacing turned into repetitively bumping into walls or furniture. I continued my pacing till one bad encounter with the end table forced me to sit.
And sit. And wait. And worry.
Finally after what seemed like forever Cloud stormed out of the room and stomped off. He didn't even notice me there. He was quickly followed by Aerith shouting after him to ' wait' and 'think about the consequences of his plan.' She didn't notice me either. Then the man from before stepped out. He was wiping his hands off but stopped when he saw me.
"Hey there kiddo. You worried about your friend?"
I didn't know how to answer that. I went with the first thing to pop into my head.
"He's not my friend." The man started to frown. "But I am worried!" he gave me a curious look. I waited a bit before speaking again. "So is he gonna be okay?"
He looked down at me and gave the tiniest of smiles, and said, "Go see for yourself."
I did.
And what I saw was a small blonde angel.
Sure, an angel covered in bandages and gauze, but an angel none the less.
He had golden hair that seemed to shine like the sun. And it framed his face like a halo. I decided then that I'd call him 'Sunshine.' He had smooth skin that was as pale as… as… all I'm coming up with was milk.
He hasn't even done anything and he's already left me speechless.
I folded my arms over the gurney's bars and looked down at him with a small smile. I reach an arm down and brush some hair out of his closed eyes.
I wonder what color they are.
Aerith:
I managed to calm down Clouds homicidal behavior, with much assistance from Zack, and finally took a much needed break.
I plopped myself down on the sofa of the waiting area. I kicked of my work shoes, a pair of nice pearl pink flats, and curled my legs underneath me. I leaned on the large fluffy pillow resting beside me and sighed. Saving a life is hard work, even if someone else did most of the work. And knowing that this little boy was-
I cut myself off as tears start to form in my eyes. I force myself to think of something else.
I have to thank Vincent later. Maybe I'll make him some mini coffee cupcakes (Coffee cake batter poured into cupcake molds, then topped with my special caramel frosting and sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings! Yum! ) that he secretly adores.
I'm about to get up and begin making them when I realize something.
Where's Axel? I haven't seen him since I told him to call Vincent. And what if something happened to the little boy I just saved? Ooooohhhhh… I hope their both alright!
I should mention that I'm a little bit of a Debby Downer. And I tend to panic quickly and jump to conclusions. Which is what I'm doing right now.
Without another thought I rush down the hallway, my long braid flowing behind me. I turn the corner that leads to the infirmary and, more importantly, Axel's room. I slow down to a walk as I see that the infirmary door is slightly open. As I walk by I peek in and see a figure hunched over on the only occupied bed.
My face scrunches with worry and quiet fury as I charge over to the figures, only to stop and sigh with a happy relieved smile on my face as I take in the sight before me.
The little blond boy, still out like a light, is resting peacefully. And by his side is my little brave trooper Axel. And though he's passed out on his arms head slumped over the unconscious child his arm dangles down and I smile a little sweeter as I see that their hands are connected. But what makes me happiest is the look on Axel's face. It's so… serene, and peaceful. He shifts in the chair he's curled up on and then he smiles a sweet, contented, happy smile.
I can see I have nothing to worry about here, these boys have found their guardian angels.
A/N: YEEAAAHH! NEW CHAPTER! Sorry there's not much happening in this one. But rest assured that Axel and Roxy will have their first "conversation" in the next chapter. And no I won't tell you why it's in air quotes, but your free to guess! XD
In other news… I HAVE A LAPTOP! You know what that means? I CAN WRITE DURING BREAKS AND AFTER SCHOOL! THAT means more chapters for you guys and gals! YAY!
