The first Day~

"Ugh…Mmm…" Roxas mumbled as he sat up in his bed, frowning slightly as he stared down at the mattress. "Another dream about him…" The bell of the Clock Tower caught his attention, causing him to look out of his window before getting on his knees and pushing it open, the sound of the bells louder, causing him to smile at the town below.

Another new day of Summer Vacation.

"Man, does that tick you off?"

"Yeah, that's just wrong."

"Seifer's gone too far this time."

Hayner, Pence, and Olette turned to look at Roxas, awaiting his answer, earning a nod from the blond. Hayner jumped up from where he was sitting and stood up, crossing his arms. "I mean, it's true that stuff's been stolen around town. And we've got a score to settle with Seifer and everything. So if he wants to think we did it, I can't really blame him. See…that's not what really bugs me," Hayner explained, continuing to slowly pace around. "What REALLY bugs me is that he's goin' around telling' everybody we're the thieves. Now the whole town and their mothers are treating us like the Klepto Club! Have you ever been this ticked off before in your life? Cause I haven't. Nuh-uh. NEVER. Now…what to do?"

Olette opened her mouth, only to shut it when what words to say couldn't come to mind and look over at Roxas. Feeling the green eyed girls gaze on him, the blond looked over at her, his eyes widening a bit before he frowned when he realized she was silently asking him to do something. "Uh, well…We could find the real thieves. That would set the record straight."

"Hey, that sounds fun!" Pence exclaimed.

"What about Seifer?" Hayner asked.

"First, we gotta clear our names. Once we find the real culprit, everyone will get off our backs." Roxas explained, while Hayner growled slightly.

"Oh, no!" Pence exclaimed, causing everyone's attention to turn to him. "They're gone! Our_ are gone!" When the word that he was trying to say didn't come out, he put a hand to his throat, rubbing it slightly.

"All our _, gone?" Hayner asked, shocked at what was now gone, but even more surprised when the word that Pence had not been able to say didn't come out of his mouth either.

Olette gasped upon this happening to both boys, causing her to put her hands over her mouth. "You can't say _ why not?"

"But you do understand what I'm saying, right? Our _ are gone!" Pence explained.

"Stolen….And not just _. The word _! They stole it, too!" Roxas exclaimed, an angry look appearing on his face.

"What kind of thief is that? Seifer could never have pulled that off." Hayner stated.

"Yeah!"

"All right, time for some recon!" With that being said, Hayner, Pence, and Olette took off, Roxas making the move to go after them, but something seemed to make time slow, and Roxas blacked out.

"His heart is returning. Doubtless he'll awaken very soon."

"Haven't you heard? It was Roxas and his friends that did it. And to think that I thought Roxas was such a good young man."

"No good kids, I tell ya! Think they can get away with everything with out looking suspicious."

Brown eyes became clouded in confusion upon hearing all these things that people were saying about Roxas and his friends. "What's going on exactly?"

"You mean you don't know? Roxas and his friends stole our precious _ and the word too!" The woman who was working at the flower shop exclaimed, handing the brown eyed girl a pot that held a single orchid. "I still can't believe it, either. He seemed like such a nice boy, too. Here you are, dear." The woman said, handing back the brown eyed and brown blonde haired girl her change.

She smiled. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Kira."

Kira smiled at the woman, waving as she walked out of the flower shop and out into the market place, flower pot in hand, and guitar strapped onto her back. She walked back to her house and deposited the flower into her kitchen, giving it some water and setting it on the windowsill in the sunlight. She exited her little house and locked the door behind her, heading out into the sandlot. She had been living in Twilight Town for a while, and she had become quiet popular amongst the people of the little town. She was just your average 21 year old, making a living as a street musician. Even though it didn't get her a lot of money, it was enough to pay the rent and buy the essential things needed for everyday life, such as food and clothes. Currently, she was headed for the sandlot, where she sat everyday for a few hours and played her guitar, catching most peoples passing by, attention. By the end of the day, she usually had at least a couple hundred munny, the most being 300. The people of Twilight Town were just that generous, in her view, making them great neighbors. The munny was usually always enough to keep her through a week.

"Thieves."

"That was low, y'know!" Kira heard Rai exclaim as soon as she walked into the sandlot. At first, she was confused as to who Fuu and Rai were speaking to, until she saw Roxas, Hayner, Pence, and Olette standing in front of them.

She smiled and made her way over to Roxas and his friends.

"Oh yeah?" Hayner asked, his tone sounding intimidating.

"Nice comeback there, blondie." Seifer said as he entered the sandlot.

"Oh, great…" Kira mumbled as she saw Seifer, in all his false glory, make his way over to them. Although she and Seifer were on good terms, she disliked him and his behavior, considering him a bully.

"What'd you say!" Hayner exclaimed, getting into a stance and clenching his fist, both him and Roxas growling slightly.

"You can give us back the _ now." Seifer said.

"Yeah! You're the only ones who would take it, y'know?" Rai stated, his hands on his hips.

"Why, Seifer, isn't it a little too immature of you to be going on around and blaming people that you don't even know who did it?" Kira asked, crossing her arms across her chest and earning everyone's attention, for they hadn't even noticed she was there.

"Kira!" Roxas exclaimed, smiling up at the older girl. Roxas lived next door to Kira, and they were quite close, like siblings. Sometimes, when Kira wasn't busy with playing her guitar, she would sometimes hang out with Roxas and his friends.

"That was undeniable proof that we totally owned you lamers. I'm pretty sure that Kira here agrees with me, right? So what did you do? Burn it? Ha, not that we need some _ to prove that you're losers." Seifer said, smirking at the group.

"Replay!" Fuu exclaimed, causing Seifer to laugh.

"Now you're talking!" Seifer exclaimed, his group getting into stances, while Roxas and his friends, along with Kira, got into their own stances as well. "I guess if you get on your knees and beg, MAYBE I'll let it slide."

No one moved for a while, until Roxas stepped forward, Hayner moving his arm as if to grab him, but only to drop it back to his side. Roxas stopped in front of Seifer and his gang, and they all started to laugh as Roxas got to his knees.

"Roxas!" Hayner exclaimed, embarrassment showing in his frustration.

Roxas's eyes flickered as he glanced around at the ground, his gaze falling on the struggle bats nearby. 'Use it…' He frowned as he heard the voice, something inside clicking as he sensed that he recognized it, but not dwelling on it, instead running forward and grabbing a bat, while Seifer grabbed another one, both boys standing on opposite sides of the sandlot, ready to fight.

"Roxas, focus!" Pence exclaimed.

"Take 'em out!" Kira cheered him on, earning a nod from Roxas before he ran forward.

"Kneel, loser!" Seifer exclaimed, trying to hit Roxas, only to miss and have Roxas come up from behind him and hit him, running back a few feet. "Come on…quit playin' around and fight!"

Once again, the fight ensued, lasting for a good few minutes, until Seifer was kneeling on the ground, trying to catch his breath, making Roxas the victor. As Seifer sat on the ground, Rai and Fuu jumped in front of him, Rai making up an excuse. "Seifer's not feelin' so hot, y'know!"

"Tournament decides!" Fuu exclaimed.

Pence pulled out his camera and snapped a picture of Roxas's victory, giving the blond a thumbs up as soon as he was done, when something, a type of white looking monster jumped over and slid around Pence, snatching his camera from his hands, taking off, leaving everyone standing and staring in surprise and shock.

"What was that?" Hayner asked as soon as the monster was gone.

"The thief?" Olette suggested, causing all of them to run after it. In the end, it was Roxas and Kira who caught up to it, following it into the woods as it made its way to the old mansion.

"Hurry, before it gets away!" Kira exclaimed, running after, Roxas right behind her.

They followed it, until it had stopped in front of the gates of the old mansion, both glaring at the creature with the zipper mouth.

We have come for you, my lieges.

Kira's eyes widened slightly as she heard the thing speak, before a bit of a frustrated look appeared on her face. Roxas ran forward and tried to destroy the thing with the struggle bat, but it wasn't dealing any damage to it whatsoever. "It's no use…" All the sudden, the struggle bat became encoded in what seemed like data, replacing it with a giant key like sword, pulling Roxas forward a bit an surprising him. "What…what is this thing?" Roxas asked, turning to look at Kira, only to notice that she was gone. Instead of trying to figure out where the girl had gone, he darted forward and began to use the key as a sword, destroying the strange monster in a few minutes. Once it was gone, all the pictures it had stolen were left in its place, and they key sword disappeared. Roxas gathered up the pictures and headed back to town to look for his friends.

"What's this?" Hayner asked as he stared at the picture of Roxas standing in front of the auto shop.

"I was his first customer after he took over the shop. So we took a picture together." Roxas explained, smiling at the memory.

"It's a really nice photo." Olette complimented, jumping in surprise when she was able to say photo without any trouble. "Oh!"

"Hey! You just said "photo"!" Pence exclaimed.

"So, Roxas-tell us about the picture thief."

Roxas shook his head. "Not much to say. The pictures were just lying there."

"Then how do we prove we weren't the ones that took 'em?" Hayner asked, laughing slightly at the next picture of Roxas. "It's a GIRL…"

Olette giggled slightly. "You look happy, Roxas."

"Do not. It's only Kira, and she's like a big sister to me." Roxas said, snatching the photograph of him and Kira out of Hayner's hands.

"So, like, anybody else notice that all the stolen pictures are of Roxas?" Pence pointed out.

"Ohh. So that's why everyone thought it was us." Olette said.

"You mean Seifer didn't go around accusing us after all?"

"Are they really all of me?" Roxas asked.

"Yep, and some of them have you and Kira in them together. See?" Pence said, holding out the photo of Roxas and Kira standing with the little old lady who ran the candy shop, and then one of Roxas laying on the ground, Seifer and his gang doing a victory pose, while Kira was waving her fist at Seifer and trying to hit him, only to have Hayner and Pence struggling to pull her back. The last one was of Roxas, Kira, Hayner, Pence, and Olette all in front of the old mansion, Pence in the very front, kneeling on the ground, Olette bending over a little bit, Hayner standing straight up with his arms crossed across his chest, and Kira standing next to Roxas, her arm draped across his shoulders and her hand up in the air, making the peace sign. "Wouldn't it be weird if the thief wanted to steal the real Roxas or something?" Pence asked.

"C'mon, get serious. Why would anyone wanna steal a bonehead like Roxas?" Hayner asked teasingly.

"Oh, thanks!" Roxas exclaimed, causing them all to laugh. The Clock tower chiming broke them out of their laughter, signaling that it was time to head home. Hayner, Pence, and Olette left, leaving Roxas behind in the Usual Spot, until he walked out and headed back home, too, stepping into the sunlight, causing him to shut his eyes, and get a headache, pictures of people that he had never seen before in his life popping up "Where…am I? Who's there? Who are you?" Roxas asked as the image of crimson haired person and the image of a brunette haired girl crying, flashed through his mind, before the images quickly disappeared, and Roxas fell into unconsciousness.
