Episode 3: Days Go by Like Minutes
We've arrived on the chapter where filming begins. It's a good thing that I'm revising this as I bring it back on the site because there are tons of mistakes from the original files. Hope you guys enjoy reading this!
Genre: Romance/Humor
It was Namine's first day of filming. Boy was she nervous, but excited at the same time. Her first episode titled, "New Girl in Town, Sort of," made her feel like she was one. After all, she was inexperienced at acting and new to this whole other world. It's not everyday you find a regular person on a hit TV show. It was a world that normal people deemed as glamourous. Right now, Namine did think this life was fabulous so far. However, living in Destiny Islands made her feel like she was living a normal life. The citizens were friendly and humble to everybody. It was like they were all friends, but she knew not every person could be nice.
She finally arrived at the designated destination, Destiny Islands High. The high school where the show's characters attend and it was the real school. In an interview from before, Namine remembered they film here during the weekends to avoid clashing with school hours, but sometimes the principal would allow it during those very hours, seeing how the students wanted to be part of the show somehow. Once she got there, everything was on set. There were crewmen walking around, cameras, trucks, chairs, and a lot of things you would find behind the scenes. She was in the car with her mother, anxious to go, but not really. It was like a child's first day of school who wouldn't let go of their mom and dad.
"We are here Namine," her mom informed her, stopping the car. She took a look at her daughter, who by the way wasn't looking at her, but straight out the passenger's window. "Are you okay dear?"
Namine made a small jump and said, "Yeah, of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?" She was trying to hard to be confident and happy, but it proved to be a failure. "Ugh, never mind. I don't know. I just… can't believe I am here!"
"Listen, we didn't fly here for nothing," her mom informed her. "You wanted this and we accepted it. There is no turning back now." Namine loved her mom as she was always there to give advice. She was a very understanding mother who constantly had a smile on her face, unlike her daughter. Guess Namine was like her father, but still inherited traits from her. Sometimes, she wondered how her older sister, Larxene, was related to them. She was nothing like them. Cloud however, being the eldest of the three, was a mix of both of their parents. He was strong like his father and kind like his mother. She looked up to him since they were young. Larxene, not so much.
"Do you want me to stay?" her mom asked kindly.
"No, you have work mom. I can do this. I am old enough." She pulled the handle, opening the door, and got out as Namine's mom rolled down the window. "Don't worry about me. I have Roxas after all to look after me." It felt to her odd when she usually referred to him as her co-star or acquaintance. For her, she would have to feel comfortable first with the person before befriending with them. That day at the Strip didn't prove it, but maybe today will.
"Aww… my daughter is star struck by her celebrity crush. Roxas Tsukino and Namine Hamasaki," her mom teased making hand gestures. "I can see it now in the tabloids and magazines." She laughed and Namine started to feel embarrassed.
"Mom!"
"Bye sweetheart." Her mom rolled up the window and left, leaving Namine alone with a small shoulder bag around her arm and the script in her hands. She walked down the concrete path while looking at her surroundings. It sure felt awkward and weird being around here. She fixed her hair and tried to find the others. On her search, she could not find one. Not even Roxas.
"Hey!"
"Aah!" Namine jumped as soon as she saw a teenage boy, but it wasn't Roxas. It was someone else. He was a blond, but shorter than Roxas' hair. She recognized him as Hayner. He was supposedly the funny guy on and off the camera. Namine loved his character because he did have the best lines to make audience laugh. Kairi too for being the popular mean girl of the school, but also sweet. Heh, now she knew why Kairi was great at playing her role. It was because that was how she was in person. However, she still had yet to see a sweet side.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Hayner said, holding out his hand for her, which she accepted it and shook. "I came by because you looked really lonely. If you are looking for the others, they have not arrived yet."
"Heh, you're telling me. So, uh, where do I go? I really don't know anything about this. Is there a place I have to report to?"
"Yes, each of us have a place to go to. There is a lot of prepping to do before filming. First, we have to find your makeup team where the makeup will touch you up and stuff."
"That's what she said," Namine laughed, which made Hayner laugh too realizing his own words.
"You're funny. I like you already."
"Thanks. Sorry we didn't get to talk much at my welcoming party."
"It's okay. You seemed to be overwhelm that night meeting a lot of the people. At least I got to talk to you for a bit."
"I sure was." While the two were walking, Hayner escorted her to the girls' dressing room, which was a trailer, and left her to go to the boys' trailer. She headed up the small set of stairs and opened the door. She saw three chairs, all facing a mirror. The place was decorated and looked nice like the female cast members did it. Kairi and the other was Olette. There was also an L-shaped couch in placed in a corner with a coffee table in front with bathroom next to it and a section blocked by curtains. She can tell it was where she can change clothes. From there, she looked to find her place and located it to be at the other end of the trailer. She took a seat and the chair felt very comfortable. Soon after, the door opened with a long brown hair girl entering in with bug eye sunglasses, carrying a tray of McDonald's ice coffee, and a big bag of food from the same place.
"Oh hello," Olette greeted, closing the door. "I didn't know you would be here this early." She placed the food and drinks on the coffee table and got herself comfortable. "Well, you are new, so it's likely." When she got the items off her hands, she lifted her shades to reveal her emerald eyes. "You excited for your first day Namine?"
"Oh I wish. I'm bound to mess at some point."
"Don't worry. You'll be fine. First days are always hard. Why, I knocked down a camera and some lights if that makes you feel better in case something goes wrong."
"Let's hope that doesn't happen," Namine replied, making the two girls laugh.
"Olette! You could of at least waited for me at the parking lot," said a familiar voice entering in. Namine knew it was Kairi. "I see you are here already. Man, I thought I was going to eat your food before you got here," she last muttered. "Now that I'm here! Look! I'm on the cover of Teen Star Magazine!" Kairi showed it off in front of her two co-stars and Namine found something odd with her statement.
She took a glance at the cover and looked at her co-worker. "Kairi, we are all on the cover. We did the photo shoot last week for the magazine."
"Yeah, anyways, we need to get ready now. We need to rehearse and work fast. We are behind schedule and have ten more episodes to film. We should shot this episode in less than ten days girls." Talk about bossy. "All of us should not screw up." Kairi sat in her chair as soon as the makeup and costume team came in for the girls. Namine and Olette followed suit as the other members of the team go to work on them. Namine did not know what to do other than sit and watch Hollywood work its magic.
~ Our Life is Not a TV Show or Maybe ~
Everyday of the week felt like the same since rehearsals were happening. Namine found out they rehearse for about two days and the daily average of filming an hour-long episode, forty-two or less minutes if you take out the commercials, was ten days. Now on the fifth day, they were filming the scenes for real and the school scenes were first before anything else. The scene she was doing now was the very same scene she did at the auditions only this time, it was real with a few changes. Instead of an English class, it was chemistry which in the show was Roxas' first period.
"Hey, isn't this funny?" Roxas forced out a laugh scratching behind his head. "We are partners for this project of ours." He took a seat next to her as Namine looked at the instructions. "So what are we doing?"
"Weren't you listening? We have to do an original science lab," she replied.
"Oh, I know. We should do volcanoes. It's simple and a classic," he suggested.
"Let me stress the word original." She was getting irritated. "We have to do an original science lab project. Get it now?" Roxas took her reaction by surprise and she did not seem to be fond of him. People usually liked being around him, but this girl didn't. "How bout I do the work and you can go hang out with your friends and get an easy A," she rudely said. Namine sure loved this. Acting like this felt fun for her because she was never mean, yet wanted to if the opportunity presented itself in a harmless way.
Across from the room, Sora too was in the same scene. "Hmm, Roxas and Namine, I think I've got a plan," he said to himself.
"Are you talking to yourself Sora?" his classmate asked him.
"I'm not!" he defended.
The scene after, which was when class ended, Sora waited for Roxas to come out. He saw him talking with Namine on the way out as she left. "Roxas and Namine, what a cute pair you make. Don't you think Roxas?" he asked him.
"What are you talking about? That girl doesn't even like me since she found out that we were classmates this whole time."
"Ouch, Roxas. Guess you are stuck in your popular bubble."
"Funny, she said the same thing. Maybe you two should go out."
"Trying to hook us up to get Kairi for yourself?" Sora asked.
"Weren't you doing the same thing earlier?" Roxas fired back.
"Yes, good thing I took her favorite book and somehow put it in your bag," he informed his friend.
"You did what?!" Roxas turned his bag around him and rummaged through the insides to see if Sora was lying and he wasn't. The book, The Last Song, was inside his bag and it was the very book he saw stacked on her binder. He knew Sora was trying to get them together, but he wasn't going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
"Cut!" the director shouted. The two actors stopped and looked at the man. "Good job! Namine you were great for a rookie," he complimented.
"Thank you. That means a lot to me."
"Yeah, well, it's time for a break. We have shot a lot of scenes today. Go on your lunch break with the others." Namine left her chair, which by the way made her warm inside. She had her own chair with her name labeled on it and she screamed at the news when she saw it for the first time. Her co-stars laughed at her reaction, but said it was natural since she was a newbie. She walked on over to a tent where lunch was being served. She got in line, grabbing a plate, and took a look on what was available. The food smelt delicious. Roxas then appeared after her.
"Hi, Nami," he greeted.
"Nami? Giving me a nickname already?" she asked.
"I give everybody nicknames." Namine couldn't help, but feel like he was lying. "Like Kairi for example, I call her Kai. Hey Kai!" he shouted from across to her.
"I told you! Don't call me that!" Kairi replied, which made Namine giggled. Her instincts were right.
"You give everybody nicknames huh? Kairi's reply tells me something else." Namine grabbed the food she wanted and took a fork while walking off, but decided to wait for Roxas. She felt like having lunch with him. "Come on Roxas, I can't hold onto this forever."
"Hold on, I'm just getting this fried chicken." He went in slow motion into grabbing each piece to tease her. He intended to make her wait and got irritated to his amusement. Out of everyone, Namine was the first girl he really hanged out with and the two always laughed, even at the most stupid things. Roxas heard her shout and he laughed grabbing the last piece and walked towards her. "Sorry, my hand was in slow motion."
"More like you were in slow motion to tease me to wait longer."
"You got me. Let's go someplace that is not here," he said as the two leave. Not so far away, Sora watched the two as they were smiling and enjoying each other's company. He thought when did Roxas and Namine grow so close so fast when it hasn't been that long since she arrived. The two were practically buds now. Unknown to him, Kairi was watching him while eating her food and looked at the direction he was looking at to see Roxas and Namine. Her blood bubbled with jealously, but put her thoughts on Sora first.
"I find it funny that you are watching them like I did before now. Is there something wrong Sora?" she asked, expecting an honest answer.
"N-no, not at all," he coolly said. It's not like she expected to hear the truth either. "What makes you say that?"
"Sora," Hayner called out. "Kairi is right, which is a miracle because I usually don't agree with Kairi." He then felt Kairi slap him on his shoulder, but not hard. "The past days, you have been eyeing Namine. I sense a crush!"
"What?! No! I don't! I barely know her!" he defended. "It's Roxas that does! Can't you tell? The two have been getting together lately since she first came here."
"Aww, its like the first episode where everyone was giving you a hard time about your feelings for Kairi," Olette pointed out.
"It's nothing like that. This is the real world Olette."
"And we utilize that to make our show relate to others Sora," Pence said. Sora did not like that fact his friends were attacking him on this topic. He blamed himself for not realizing his actions. His intentions for Namine was to have her remember him if he can. He had his reasons and this was a good one. Trying to catch up with a long lost friend you haven't seen in a decade made him want to reconnect and talk again, but with Namine, it was different. It was because she doesn't remember him. "I have to go." He left the table with his food and stormed off. His friends looked at each other being dumbfounded.
"What just happen?" Pence asked.
~ Our Life is Not a TV Show or Maybe ~
Roxas and Namine took a seat on the grass underneath a tree. The weather felt nice as the wind passed through the trees and the leaves rustling with the wind. They were still on school campus and near their working place. "I feel like I'm home again being here," Namine said, bending down on the grass. It felt nice and soft like she was in her bed.
"Do you and your friends hang out at a place like this at your school?" Roxas asked.
"Pretty much." Namine laid her legs on the side and started to eat her food. "You know, I always admire your acting skills. For me, its… how do I say this? Interesting I guess. To see you guys grow on screen is such an experience."
"Why thank you Namine," he accepted. "You know, I love being around you. It's different from being with Kairi and Olette, and the other females I've worked with." Namine blushed at what he said. She started to feel special. She never had a boy said this to her; not even Riku. Maybe she can develop a real crush for Roxas and not in the celebrity sense.
"R-really? That's pleasant to hear," she said, putting a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I actually feel special." Roxas blushed too forgetting what he said earlier, but he didn't v want to ask what he said before. He wanted things to move forward right now.
"You know that book in the scene we just did?" he asked her, continuing to eat as Namine nodded her head because her mouth was full, which made him chuckle. Roxas also like the fact she had a good appetite. It gave him the impression she didn't care what food she ate. Besides, she looked like she had high metabolism from her slim figure. If he remembered, Kairi told him she was jealous Namine had the figure she wanted, but the weird part was that two look the same. Anyways, Roxas continued on saying, "I actually read that book. That is my favorite book from Nicholas Sparks and it is pretty good."
"You read Nicholas Sparks?" Namine asked astonished. "I never thought you were the type."
"It's more like a secret. No one actually knows." Namine finished her food and walked on over to a nearby trash to throw her empty plate away. When she turned around, she tripped on a tree root, but Roxas came to her aid and caught her. "Whoa! That was close."
"It's a curse I say," Namine said as Roxas made her stand on her own feet. "I'm really clumsy. Ever since I was born. Waitressing is never going to be a job for me." Elsewhere, a certain spiky brunette was watching the two. Sora turned away. He did not like the fact he was getting emotional and angst. He never was the one to be sad and negative. He was the happy, energetic boy with a lot of enthusiasm. However, when alone, he would sometimes get sad and depressed that lead him to thinking about the things in his life. He thought he should ignore this for a while, but can't help but recall another memory.
1998
"Namine!" A young Sora was running across the beach carrying a green bucket to the girl, who was trying to build a sand casle. "Look what I found!" He bend down on his feet and showed her a bucket full of seashells. "It is called a seshshell."
"Seashell?"
"Yeah, that. Look! I got plenty of them." As he was digging through the bucket trying to show his blonde friend each one, he yelled, "Ouch!"A hermit crab pinched his finger and he flicked it off by flying his arm. It later hit Namine in the face and it then pinched her nose.
"Aah!" she screamed as she shook her head severely to shake the hermit crab off. While this was happening, Sora couldn't help, but laugh at her reaction. Namine managed to get the hermit crab to let go of her nose, sending it back into the water. "That's not funny," she pouted crossing her arms.
"Sora! Namine!" one of their parents shouted. "Lunch time!"
"Oohh! Lunch!" Sora immediately got up and started to run. Halfway there, he forgot about Namine and turned toward her. "Namine, come on!"
"Coming," Namine got up and ran, but tripped on her own sand castle. "My sand castle!"
"I will help you build it again!" Sora told her. "Now lets eat!" Namine got up, wiping off the sand on her body and ran to Sora. "Last one is a rotten egg!" he told her and ran.
"Sora! I cannot run like you!" Namine looked at him and he gave her his usual smile that made her blush. Then she noticed Sora was heading for a tree without him even looking. "Sora!" Bang! Too late now, but Sora was a tough boy. Namine knew he could take it unlike her. She would be crying on the scene already if that were her.
Present Day
Sora snapped out of thought when he saw Kairi snapping her fingers in front of him. "Helllooo! Are you back on Earth yet?" He told her he was only daydreaming. "Okay, but what are you doing here?" She tilted her head and saw Roxas and Namine had a little picnic and were bounding. "Ugh! Why does Roxas like hanging out with her?"
"Maybe he likes her," Sora replied, taking out his wallet to check how much money he had. He was planning to put the rest in his bank account because he saving up. An actor like him should be rich and have tons of money, but he had a habit where he would spend all at once. It's mainly the necessities he needed even if some don't seem like it. However, he did put good use to them if they don't seem important to people like video games. While this was happening, Kairi supervised him and saw a certain picture, so she snatched his wallet out of his hands.
"Hmm, what is this now?" she asked looking at it.
"Hey, give it back!" Sora told her. "Don't you know it's not nice to take other people's wallets without permission?"
"Yes, but something caught my eye," she told him, taking out the picture from the see through pocket. "And it is this." She pulled it and showed it to him before taking a look at herself. "A five year old Sora and this mystery blonde girl he has on his back." She examined the picture as she tried to push away Sora's arm from his attempt to take it back from her.
"It's nothing. Just an old friend from a long time ago."
"An old friend? I thought you said I was the one you knew the longest?" she asked being dramatic.
"Now is not the time to be dramatic Kairi."
"You're right, but I'm anxious. I want to know," she cheerfully said. Kairi acting in this state only came when she with Sora with all the smiles and no hint of being serious and malicious. "I'm your friend and friends tell secrets."
"Fine, but in due time," he said, taking back his wallet and picture and walked away.
"What does that mean?!"
After Namine got up, she suddenly felt bored. The duo still had ten minutes left before they had to film again. Then she thought of something random and decided to show Roxas. "Hey Roxas!" He looked at her and she said, "Watch this." She started to some type of dance and it didn't take long for Roxas to know what she was doing making him chuckle.
"Uhh… the Macarena? You sure are a random one." She continued her silly dance as she went up to him waving her arms in front of him.
"Yeah, got a problem with that?" Obviously, he knew she was just fooling around. "I love to dance."
"And man are you bad at it," he teased making Namine gasped. "I'm only kiddin' Namine."
"You have plenty to work on them then." She patted on his back and started to walk back to work. "See ya!"
"Hey! You can't just leave me!" He ran to her and Namine started to run too to get away from him and laughed along the way.
~ Our Life is Not a TV Show or Maybe ~
The end of January was drawing near and the completion of episode thirteen was almost done. With March coming soon, only two to three or four would be made before the show returned. Namine was still not used to working in such fast paced environment. Back in Twilight Town, she liked her daily routine. Mondays through Fridays was school. In the morning, she woke up and got ready for school, went to it, sat through classes, hung out with her friends, and returned home to eat and do homework. The weekends were the fun ones because she hanged out with Xion and Riku a lot on those days. Now, it was going on set everyday and the hours were sinking in. It meant she did not have enough hours to sleep sometimes. It was only memorizing lines, but the great thing about this was that she got to hang out with her favorite stars and to be on her show. Her character's storyline was set for the audiences to like her than most. It was also a cliché role, but the writers said they wanted character development to, well, develop naturally and right. Hence the phrase: more than meet's the eye. Also, school life changed. Now, she was home schooled. She missed being around people when it was school time.
Right now, everybody was at the beach filming Roxas and Kairi's scenes. It was where the two share some special time while a party was being held. The spot was near the beach club where a real one was used for location. One of the best qualities of the show was most of the scenes were on location somewhere compared to building a set compared to a sitcom. Namine was sitting besides Sora on the beach and the two watched the scene, but were having their own conversation.
"I really miss being at school," Namine told Sora. She noticed the irony in her statement because she never did like school except for being socially active than at home.
"I thought most normal people hate school?" her co-star asked.
"We do, but not the classes and work given. The only class I like is art class," she replied. "My other teachers were boring like two snails in a one mile race." Sora looked at her and wanted to say something, but felt like he should not overwhelm her. She already looked like it, so he thought he should try to make her remember him, if she did.
"Did you know, at the age of five I used to live in Twilight?"
"Oh yeah, totally." Sora had a smile on his face until she said, "I read it on one of your biographies. It said at the age of five you at least lived in Twilight for a year. You and your family left to pursue your dreams of becoming an actor after getting cast in a big upcoming movie." Then there was the big issue he was having with her.
"You are really successful Sora. You are the best actor on the show." He felt flattered by her words. "And I'm sure you won't grown up to some troubled young actor by the time you reach your twenties."
"Uh huh… but thanks. To me, it never gets old when people say I am doing a good job."
Namine rolled her eyes saying, "Actors."
"Hey! We're not all conceited!" he defended, but Namine just beamed him. "Alright, some are. The gang and I met some in the past. Well, Kairi doesn't count because she is one of us."
"Huh, I don't get her personality sometimes. She doesn't seem that mean."
"Like we said, don't worry about her. She is just jealous of you. Do not tell her we said that though. She would kill us." She smirked and looked back on the scene Roxas and Kairi were doing. The two's faces were drawing close and she knew what was coming. A kiss.
"I feel like the writers drag on this love triangle storyline with you guys. Does it, you know, annoy you?" she asked him while watching the scene.
"It does, but sometimes we have to listen and follow orders."
"I remember you said it is great to have open ideas on the script and such."
"It is, but it has to at least follow what is going on." Sora then felt like telling her something else. "Here is a secret I got for ya."
"Spill," she sad in excitement.
"I'm friends with one of the writers and they plan to make you Roxas' love interest." Namine immediately blushed what he just said. "Many girls would kill for your spot."
"Well, they can hate all they want," she said confidently. "I'm with him and they're not."
"Wish I was in Roxas' spot," Sora muttered under his breath.
"What was that?"
"Huh?"
"You said something a moment ago."
"I said… uh," Sora tried to think fast, but could not think of something. Luckily one of his friends came by. "Pence! Sit down with us!" he said forcing him down with the two. "What are you doing here?" Namine knew he was trying to avoid the subject, so she decided to leave it alone. She did not want to try to push his buttons. That was one thing she never does to a person. If he or she did not feel comfortable on the topic being discussed, she decided to leave it alone.
"Finished my scenes for the episode and decided to come to see what you guys were doing," Pence answered. "What are you two doing here sitting on the beach?"
"We too just filmed a scene," Namine responded. "My character comes down to the beach and watches the ocean. She tried to get away from the party Roxas' invited her to and wanted to be alone. To avoid the popular kids."
"Then what is Sora doing here?" Pence asked. "Did he come on by like I did?"
"That's where I come in. I'm alone on the beach walking, moping around trying figure out some things. Then I spot her alone too and we talked."
"I can see what the writers are foreshadowing," Pence commented. Both Namine and Sora raised their eyebrows to see where he is going with this. "Namine is Sora's love interest."
"What?!" Sora said in disbelief blushing; trying to hide it. "No! No, no, no, no, no," he said quickly. "Roxas is Namine's love interest. One of the writers told me. It's nothing like that."
"That's just ideas on paper," Pence replied. "Things change when we finally start filming."
Coming from a make out session during filming, Roxas and Kairi finished their last scene of the episode. Kairi loved doing those because it was the closest she got to have Roxas for herself, but she knew it wasn't real. Those kinds of moments were made for TV. From Roxas' point of view, he knew it was only for work. He didn't harbor the same feelings as Kairi too. After the director said they were done, he was already leaving the scene, but Kairi stopped him. "Where are you going?" she asked.
"Going to see Namine," he answered. "Why?"
"Why indeed?" she softly asked herself. It's a good thing Roxas did not hear it. "She is with Sora and Pence from what I see from here. She is not alone. You don't have to keep on babysitting her Roxas. Namine is a big girl. She can take care of herself." Roxas could not tell if she was just saying that or something else between her sentences.
"But she is still new here. It's like school." He heard Kairi scoff at him.
"I laugh at your statement. Do you reallyknow how it feels to be the new kid at school?"
"No, but being with Namine showcases me a life I never had. A normal one."
"There is nothing normal if you are famous, no matter what. Yes, living here in Destiny Islands is one of the best, but still. It is not the same. We don't even get to go to a normal school. We're all home schooled."
"Can we not do this Kairi?" Roxas pleaded. "I really don't have the time." He begun to walk off to where Namine and his two friends were, but yet again, Kairi stopped him.
"Why do you want to spend so much time with girl?" This time, he did not give her a response and decided to leave her. "Hey! I'm not done talking with you!" He still walked off not looking back. "Roxas!" Kairi screeched through her teeth. "Damn it!" she said softly. "Can't you see I want you for myself? These feelings I have inside… it's real just like our characters on the show."
Namine was with Sora and Pence, chatting and laughing at one another. Connecting with them was fun for her as they were making fun of the other. It never bothered because best friends make fun of each other right, especially Xion and Riku. Roxas came onto the scene seeing his blonde co-star getting tickled by Sora. He liked the sound of her laughter. It was nice and sweet like her voice. "Guess I'll leave you two alone," he interrupted, pretending to leave.
"Roxas!" Namine called out, but started laughing again as she tried to keep Sora's tickling hands away from her. "We're just ticking each other." She screamed when Sora tickled her sides causing more pain. "Ahahahha! S-Sora! S-s-stop! P-please! Hahaha." She tried to reach for his neck because she knew he was ticklish there since she did it once before. However, he was pushing himself from her hand while tickling her. "Roxas! Help me!"
"Nah, this is pretty entertaining actually," he told her watching the scene below him. "You can continue Sora."
"Thanks man," Sora replied as he continued to tickle his co-star.
"R-Roxas! I can't breathe now!" she said in between laughs.
"Fine, if you insist," he said. "Sora, put her on your back and take her to the ocean!"
"What?!" she screamed as Sora immediately took her on his back, running towards the ocean as she screamed. "Sora! You are so dead if go through with this!" Sora only smiled and laughed as he jumped into the shallow waters with her, making a splash. Namine emerged from the water wiping her eyes.
"You are going to get it Sora!" she threatened, throwing water at him and he did the same back to her.
Not far from the little water fight, Kairi was watching the two-throw water at each other. "Hmm… Sora and Namine…" she said to herself. She begun to think, but did not know what to actually think. Then something clicked in her head. She recalled to mind the picture she discovered in Sora's wallet. It was him at the age of five with a blonde girl on his back. Then she remembered the recent events she witnessed of Sora bringing Namine down with him into the water. He had Namine on his back. She gasped realizing there could be a connection. "Oh my god! That blonde bimbo in his picture is her!"
