"Ah! It's finally over!" Lea exclaimed as he stretched his arms out.

Lea and Isa were walking down the streets of Twilight Town. He put both his hands behind his head as he closed his eyes and sighed in contentment.

"It's never over when it comes to the Darkness," Isa stated.

Lea groaned. "Oh, come on man, can't we just live a little?"

Isa rolled his eyes. "It's always resting and relaxing with you."

"Yeah, whatever man. Can't you just lighten up a bit?"

"That's for you, not for me Lea."

Lea closed his eyes and stretched his arms. "Still we-"

Suddenly, he bumped someone, causing him to stop and look at who's in front of him. He widened his eyes to see a red-haired girl, almost as tall as him, Aqua, Terra and Isa. The girl has green eyes exactly like he has. She wears a long gray skirt while wearing a dark shirt. Darn…she looked exactly like him. More like…a girl version of him! Lea doesn't know why but…this girl fascinated him for some reason…

"I'm so sorry about that," the girl said.

"N-no, it's fine," Lea assured her.

"I haven't seen you around here. You're new here?" the girl asked.

"Oh, well, guess you can say that? I'm Lea by the way, got it memorized?"

"Yup! Nice to meet you, Lea! Call me Liana! Hope you remembered it!"

Darn…she's cool already. "Sorry for bumping into you Liana."

"It's fine. I should be the one apologizing. I didn't watch where I'm going."

"Oh, by the way," Lea began as he wrapped his arm around Isa. "This is my brooding buddy here, Isa."

Isa gave him an annoyed look before looking at Liana. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Same here Isa! You know, you look like my sister."

"How so?" Isa asked.

"Well, she's quite silent, almost ALWAYS serious, quite a bit formal and has blue hair."

"I see."

"Ooh~. A match made in Heaven. You and her ay~?" Lea teased as he nudged his friend.

Isa rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

"Liana!" a voice called out.

Everyone turned to see a girl with short blue hair. She has the same exact eye color as Isa's. She's wearing a hooded black shirt with a white skirt. This girl looked like Isa too! The girl had a stern look on her face.

"Oh, hey sis!" Liana called out.

"Where were you?!"

"Oh, just taking a stroll. By the way, I met these two-"

"No time for introduction, our work time is starting in a few minutes! Let's go!"

"Oh shoot! Let's go!" Liana then turned her back to Lea and Isa. "Hope I'll see you guys around!"

"Sure!" Lea replied. "See ya!"

"Good luck to the both of you," Isa said.

"Thanks guys! Bye!"

And with that, they disappear as they turn around the corner of a building.

"She's cool."

"Congratulations on finding a new friend."

Lea laughed a bit. "Why thank you Isa. Oh and that girl with the blue hair? Pfft, totally doesn't remind me of you,"

Isa said nothing.

The two then walked to the bistro. It took them minutes but they finally arrived as they took their seats.

"Ah, sitting on a seat never felt better," Lea said.

Isa then passed the menu to Lea. "What do you want to order?"

Lea opened the menu. "Hmm…guess some burger would be nice."

"Then I'll take a salad."

"Waiter!" Lea called out.

"Hello, may take both your or-oh hey!"

Lea widened his eyes in surprise while Isa looked amused.

"Liana?!" Lea exclaimed.

"Didn't know you guys are ordering today!"

"I didn't know you're working here."

"Yeah. Just getting some quick bucks with my sister."

"So, you work with her here?" Isa asked.

"Yup! So, you guys ordering anything?"

"Oh, I'll have a burger. Isa here wants a salad."

Liana started to write down in her small notebook. "Ok…a burger…and a salad. Would you two like some drinks?"

"We'll have water," Isa answered.

Liana continued to write down in her notebook. "Ok…two waters. Alright! Order has been received! Please wait for the food to be prepared for you two!"

She went back inside of the restaurant as Lea sighed in content.

"A new crush I suppose?" Isa assumed.

"What? No!" Lea said rather loudly.

Minutes later, the food arrived as Liana placed the food and drinks on the table.

"Enjoy!" Liana said.

She turned back to the restaurant. Lea and Isa dig in their food. After they finished eating, they left the money on the table. As they were returning home to the mansion, Lea was in high spirits, frolicking happily. The two finally arrived at the mansion. When they entered, they saw Roxas and Xion sitting on the living room's sofa…a bit awfully close to one another.

"Hey lovebirds!" Lea called out. This caused them to instinctively distance themselves a bit from one another.

"H-hey Axel! Isa!" Roxas called back.

"H-how's your hangout you two?" Xion asked.

"VERY good actually, thanks!" Lea said happily.

"You seem to be in high spirits," Roxas said.

"He's met with someone he admired," Isa answered.

"Oh?" Roxas and Xion said, interested.

"Yup! She's great! Like, I've just met her for a few seconds but I quite like her already!"

"Maybe you've met your future wife already," Roxas teased.

Lea blushed as he laughed. "Well, I don't know. Maybe? Maybe not?"

"Did you get her contact info?" Xion asked.

"Sadly no. I don't think she has a Gummiphone. But I know where she works. The Bistro."

"That's great Axel!"

"You guys want to meet her as well?"

"Well, if she's like anything you say, then yeah, why not," Roxas said.

"But you should be careful with who you trust as a friend," Isa advised. "I thought Aqua and Terra told you that, including me."

Lea sighed. "Yeah, yeah, sure."

"Hmm, Isa isn't wrong though," Roxas agreed.

"Who knows, we may be wrong and she ended up being very nice," Xion said. "But it doesn't hurt to be careful."

Lea nodded. "Anyways, I'm thinking of meeting her tomorrow. You guys want to come with? Let's give her a chance, yeah?"

"Sure!" Roxas and Xion said.


The next day, after Roxas and Xion were finished with their school, they all went to the Bistro to meet Liana (and to eat). As they sat down, Lea waited with anticipation. The waitress came to take their order but it wasn't Liana, it was Olette.

"Hey guys!"

"Hi Olette!" Roxas, Xion and Lea greeted her.

"Good to see you," Isa said.

"So, may I take your order guys?"

After Olette got their order Lea called out to her to which she looked back at him.

"Oh, is there anything you need Axel?"

"Have you seen Liana? You know, the girl with the red hair?"

"Oh her? She's sadly not here. It's not her shift today."

Lea looked disappointed. "Oh…I see."

"She and her sister went to the same school as me, Hayner, Pence, Roxas and Xion."

"Wait, really?!"

"Yup, she's a lot of fun. I really want to talk more but I gotta go back. Hayner and Pence are gonna panic if I don't come back soon."

Roxas, Xion, Lea and Isa wished her good luck as she returned inside the restaurant.

Lea gave a sigh. "What a bummer."

"Don't worry Lea, hopefully you'll get to see her some other time," Xion assured him.

"I guess. Anyways, want me to get sea salt ice cream for you guys for dessert? So I can take my mind off of this."

"Actually, they already have sea salt ice cream on the menu," Isa read.

"Huh, really? Well, it's about time."

"Hopefully it'll take your mind off of things," Roxas said.

"Yeah…"

After they finished eating, they all walked around the town. Lea can't help but still feel slightly disappointed but did his best to brush it off. He's hanging out with his friends. That should make him very happy.

"Yeah I sooooooo want to see him again," Lea heard a familiar voice.

"Why's that?" another voice said but with a quiet tone.

He looked up to see who it was before widening his eyes in surprise to see two familiar girls.

"I don't know, there's just something about Lea if you know what I mean."

"Don't be too trusting now Liana," the blue haired girl said seriously.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard you. You know, I have a feeling you're gonna get along with that Isa guy."

"Liana? Liana!" Lea called out.

The girl and the red-haired girl looked to see him as he waved at them.

"Lea!" Liana called back.

The two red-heads ran for each other.

"How's you?" Lea asked happily.

"Awesome! Well, it was normal at first but darn was it great seeing you again! How's you?"

"Great, very great."

"Cool! Oh, by the way, this is my sister, Lunabelle."

The blue-haired known as Lunabelle bowed her head slightly. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Good to meet you too. These are my friends, no wait…family would be a better term."

"Roxas. Nice to meet you two."

"I'm Xion. Pleased to meet you two."

"My name is Isa. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you all. And look at how adorable you two are!" Liana said as she patted Roxas and Xion's head. "Wish I had a little bro and sis."

"You and Lunabelle are the only ones?" Isa asked.

"Yeah. Just me and her for the most of our , want to hang out?"

"Liana," Lunabelle began. "Don't trouble-"

"Sure! It's no problem," Lea said.

"Then it's decided!"

Lunabelle mentally sighed. 'Liana…'

The six of them began to walk down the streets of the town. As Lea, Roxas and Xion happily chatted with Liana, Isa and Lunabelle were in the back following them.

"It's like this everyday with Liana I assume, " Isa said.

Luna nodded. "I can say the same with your friend Lea."

Isa nodded in return. "How would you describe your sister?"

"Cheerful, hyperactive at times, yet kind…and always hugging people."

"Hmm, sounds like our lives are going to be crazier than last time."

"I second that."

"We basically have a day-off today," Liana explained.

"Ooh so that's it. When do you two have the time?" Lea asked.

"On Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays."

"Cool!"

"Want to hang out again tomorrow guys?"

"I'm down with it."

"But Roxas and Xion will be unavailable tomorrow," Isa chimed in. "They are having training along with being instructors. The day after tomorrow, they'll be helping our friends."

"Oh? What's this training about?"

"Well," Lea began. "It's basically ke-"

Isa instantly put his hand on Lea and gripped it hard. "It's basically sword training."

"Ooh sword training?! That's awesome!"

"Same goes for me," Lea said.

"You too?!"

"Yup."

"Wooooow, that's awesome! How about you, Isa? You do some sword training as well?"

"No," Isa answered. "It is not my style. "

"Ah. Hmm, how long have you three been training?" Liana asked.

"I'd say for quite a long time," Xion answered.

"Yeah, we lost count on how long we trained," Roxas said.

"Ooh, is it that hard?"

"Once you get the hang of it, it isn't that hard," Xion

"A piece of cake. I mean, I taught her most of the moves," Roxas said.

"Oh yeah?" Axel chimed in. "I thought *I* taught her most of the move."

"Says you Axel," Roxas argued.

"Yeah, says me. You're just trying to look cool in front of Xion don't you~?"

"I-I-I mean…it's true I taught most!"

"Nah I'm just joking."

Roxas blushed madly while Lea and Liana laughed. After hours of walking around town, Lea decided to invite the two to the mansion.

"Wait what mansion?"

"The mansion in the woods," Lea said.

"The haunted mansion?" Luna asked.

"Yup."

"Hold on, really?! It's literally haunted by ghosts!" Liana exclaimed.

"It actually is not haunted by ghosts. That was just a rumor. We all live there now," Isa explained.

"Oooooh, can we sis?" Liana asked as she turned to her sister.

Luna sighed. "As long as it's safe."

"Yay!"

The group walked for minutes to the mansion. Lea led them through the underground pathway, until they arrived at the woods. As they walked through the woods, they finally arrived at the mansion. Lea took out the key and unlocked the gate. Instantly, Liana hid behind him. Lea just laughed. They went in the front yard while Lea went to open the front door of the mansion. The group went in. Liana and Lunabelle looked around the mansion.

"Whoa…" Liana breathed.

"Looks quaint," Lunabelle commented.

"Yeah. I thought it's gonna look all dusty, dirty, some cloth here and there. You know, like a haunted mansion."

"Liana!" Lunabelle scolded.

"Oh, sorry."

"It's fine," Lea assured her.

"Thankfully it's not," Isa said. "We've cleaned up everything here. It took a while but we cleaned everything."

"Looks great!" Liana complimented as she went past them.

"Liana wait!" Lunabelle called out to her sister before sighing. "I'm so sorry about this."

"Don't worry," Isa said. "But she reminds me all too much of Lea."

Lea's face lit up. "Really? Then I've found myself a kindred spirit."

Isa and Luna sighed. In the end, the sisters looked around the mansion while Lea, Roxas and Xion gave them a tour around. Isa was there watching them.

"And this is where the kitchen is," Lea said.

"Nice," Liana commented. "Hey, is anyone feeling hungry by any chance?"

"Let me guess," Luna began. "You're-"

"Hungry," Liana finished as she gave an embarrassed laugh.

Lea chuckled. "It's fine. I'm getting a bit hungry as well. Me and Isa are gonna prepare some food, you guys sit in the living room."

Minutes later, Lea and Isa came in with food and snacks. After eating a few snacks, Liana picked up a peculiar ice cream.

"What's this?" Liana asked. "Isn't this…"

"Sea salt ice cream," Roxas and Xion said.

"Ooh, me and Luna saw this before at the bistro."

"Have you tried it?" Lea asked.

"Nope. Not once."

"You HAVE to try it. It's awesome!"

With that Liana tasted the ice cream. She widened her eyes in shock. "It's…salty…wait no…it's sweet? Hang on…it's both? Ah, so that's where the name comes from. There more of this?"

"Liana!" Lunabelle sternly said.

Lea, Roxas and Xion laughed. Isa just sighed while Luna shook her head.


Weeks later

Lea and Isa were waiting at the back of the Bistro for Liana and Luna. They were waiting for their shift to end. The door opens and out comes the sisters as they are finished with their shift. Lea did this for almost everyday whenever the sisters shift is over.

Liana happily waved. "Hey guys!"

"Hope you guys are doing good," Luna greeted.

"Yup! Come on, let's head to the mansion. Roxas and Xion are waiting there." Suddenly, Lea's Gummiphone rang. He pulled out his phone, tapped a button on the screen before putting the phone to his ear. "Rox, hey, what's up? Really?! Want me to help?! You sure you got this? You really sure? Well…alright, I'll let you two deal with them. But call me if you need me ok?"

With that he put his phone away in his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Liana asked. "Something happened to them? You sound worried."

"Oh no, turns out the two are busy, but they have it handled. Come on, let's walk around town."

"Well, if you say so."

The group continued to walk before stopping to buy some cupcakes. As Liana and Lunabelle were looking at the cupcakes, Lea took that moment to talk privately with Isa.

"Roxas and Xion encountered some Heartless in an alleyway," Lea whispered. "Thankfully it's only a couple of them."

"They have experience dispatching and fighting Heartless. They will be fine, Lea," Isa assured.

There was a brief moment of silence between the two.

"Isa?"

"Hmm?"

"You think it'll be alright if we tell Lia and Luna about…you know…like…uhm…the keyblades…Heartless…Nobodies…and…all that?"

"If they are going to be involved in our lives, then yes. But we'll find the right time to tell them."

"Wow, I thought you'd say "no" to the answer."

"What do you think this is? A fictional story where the main character doesn't let his friends know that he's fighting a secret battle against the forces of but instead they got involved anyway? They are going to know sooner or later."

There was a brief silence between the two.

"Hmm…involved you say?" Lea spoke up. "Like…romantically~?"

"Don't get any funny ideas."

"Luna is a perfect fit for yo-"

Liana and Luna finished buying the cupcakes for the four of them as they went back to Lea and Isa. Only to see Isa putting his hand on Lea's mouth while the red-hair babbled on.

"What's going on?" Liana asked.

"Lea is speaking nonsense," Isa answered.

Lea put Isa's arm away from his mouth. "No I'm not, it's called a possibility."

"What possibility?" Luna asked.

"Don't listen to him," Isa said.

"Hey come on now!" Lea retorted.

Liana laughed as the two continued to argue.
