12Breezy: "Like I said, Roxas is still alive…for now. While he did hit a bus, he only got a slight concussion."
Roxas: "Slight? SLIGHT?! My head's wrapped in a bandage completely because of you!"
Breezy: "Details, details…Well, Organization XIII doesn't belong to me…but the camp and my three OC's do! Well, let's get crackin'! Roxas, not seriously-!"
Figures blurred around my head as I came to. Slowly, I could make out voices I recognized- one of them being Naminé's.
"Roxas? Roxas, are you alright?"
"Dude…He's all…dude…"
"Is that…whoa…"
"Oh, he's coming to!"
My eyes opened, and I made out Naminé, Xigbar, Axel, and Demyx standing over me. It was sunset now, and their shadowed faces cast worried looks. Whoa…I sounded like McBeth or something just then…
"Roxas, are you okay?" Akiyo asked. Tsukushi had her hands over her mouth, but Naminé looked more concerned, and asked again if I was all right. I groaned, and answered.
"Yeah…what happened?"
"You kinda…crashed into the bus."
Axel grinned. If he said anything, I'd kill him, and he knew it. Thus, for once in his non-existent life, he stayed shut up. Xigbar helped me up, and I headed towards the bus. Amazingly, I didn't even flinch on the ride back to camp, even though Vexen had conjured his shield to block debris from anything shooting through the open windows.
"XIGBAR! YOU'RE DRIVING OVER 75!"
"…So?"
The next morning I woke up with a big, BIG headache. I took two aspirins, (Guess who brought them.) and walked outside. The sun hadn't resin yet, and there was a slight fog over the lake. I noticed a small figure out in the water, far away on the other side of the lake. Three guesses it was Demyx.
Sure enough, Demyx was floating in the water, smiling. He noticed me coming up, and opened his eyes. The only thing he had on were trunks, and had his sitar out, so I guessed he'd been playing.
"Morning, Roxas." He said, starting to swim some more.
"D' you know what time it is?" Demyx asked as I yawned.
"Must be before 5, at least." I replied.
Silence passed us, and I sat down next to the water.
"I've been working on a new song." Demyx announced.
"Hmm?"
"I haven't finished it yet, but George thinks it's nice."
"George?"
"The sea monster in this lake."
…
"…Demyx, did you eat anything that looked…strange?"
"No, he's real."
"I prefer lake being, if you don't mind."
I jumped back, screaming. A small, blue snake had popped out of the water. It had big yellow eyes, a long tail, and a head that looked too big for it.
"What-what the-"
"George. Pleassssed to meet you." 'George' stuck out his tail, which I slowly shook.
"Thisssss isss?" George asked Demyx, who still had a grin on his face. "Roxas." I said, slowly edging away. "Anyway, why are you writing a new song, Demyx? You haven't in ages." Demyx's smile disappeared and he swam under for a minute. "No reason." He said when he popped back up.
"Well, I need to get going. I'm hungry. See you in a few, Demyx." I said.
"See you."
"Ssssssee you later."
That snake was out to get me, I was sure of it. I shivered; it was below sixty-five out, and I was only wearing PJ's. I munched on a warm biscuit that I had made without burning anything, amazingly, and looked out from the screened porch of the cabin. Demyx was still in the water, talking to George. I wondered what he was writing, when my brain altered to something that caught my eye.
A blonde girl in a blue dress was walking on the dirt road. When I looked closer, I saw it was Naminé. I almost dropped my biscuit. Stuffing it in my mouth, I shot up from the table I was sitting at and dashed to her.
"Naminé!" She turned her head and smiled when she saw me.
"Good morning, Roxas." She said with that smile on her lips. Gosh, I think my heart would of stopped if I had one.
"The sun's beautiful when it rises. I like to draw it." I then noticed she held her sketchbook with her, pencil tucked behind her ear. "You draw?" It slipped out of my mouth before I could catch it. 'Crap… Roxas, you idiot. What did you think the book was for? Breakfast?' I thought to myself as she nodded. Man, she seemed so… innocent. She didn't mention anything about my stupid blunder. "Yes," she went on, "I draw a lot… maybe you'd like to see my sketches sometime."
"Definitely!" I answered. We now stood in front of a big, white, vine covered Victorian. Akiyo and Tsukushi stood on the porch, talking to each other. Akiyo was the first to notice us standing there, and waved. Naminé waved back, and I questioned her. "You live here?"
"Sorta. Tsukushi's grandmother used to live here, but now it belongs to her parents. In the summer we come to stay." Naminé started to walk up the steps. "I'll see you soon, right?" Naminé asked me. "Yeah!" I started to turn back when Akiyo pulled me over. "Nice PJ's." She whispered. It was all I needed to hit myself on the nearest tree trunk.
Axel was sitting under the porch, head in a bowl of what looked like cereal- dry. Of course, Axel was sleeping soundly in his wheat squares. I know what you guys would have done, so I did just that.
The picture turned out great.
Unfortunately for me, the flash startled Axel into opening his eyes. It only took him five seconds to find out what I'd done.
Next thing I knew, I was two feet underwater. I almost jumped when George swam into view. He gave me a look that just screamed 'WTH?!' and swam to the top. Demyx shortly came into view, following George.
"Roxas, what are you doing in the water?"
Now I was cold. Axel smugly ate his wheat squares while staring intently at my face. Demyx was watching with Luxord and making bets at who would win. I gave Axel the same hard glare. For ten minutes we went on like that, invisible shockwaves challenging each other to look away. Finally, Axel 'humpfed' and turned away.
Five points for me.
Demyx was collecting his one hundred munny from Luxord, who looked as hard as Axel. Larxene rolled her eyes, and continued chewing on a pancake. I decided to try fishing for the rest of the day, and I actually caught a fish. But, Demyx gave me such a look I had to throw him back. Figures.
Thus, being bored with throwing the hook over and over again, I took up a chess game with Zexion. Quite frankly, I don't think my brain will ever work right again. Axel set fire to some ants as I watched him blow them up. Serves them right for biting my foot. Demyx and I found a horseshoe game at the edge of a blitz ball field, and we played a few rounds. Demyx won most of them, and I kept missing the tack for the shoe to land in the creek in front of it.
It was later in the day now, and fireflies floated and blinked around me as I watched them fly off. The day came back to me in bits as I thought about it. Mainly walking with Naminé earlier that morning.
"Roxas? You awake?" Demyx asked me from behind. "Yeah. Tired, but awake." I got up. "I'm going to bed." I called from behind my shoulder.
I still lay in my bunk that night, wondering what'd be bound to happen tomorrow. Demyx had his I-pod on loud, and I could hear some song through the headphones. Luxord's snoring was almost gone that night, but I could hear Larxene muttering things that sounded like death threats. I prayed she was dreaming, then closed my eyes.
Breezy: "Ahhhh…I feel so much better now that I finished this chapter. It's late, I'm supposed to be in bed, but all your reviews make it worth it guys. Thanks again for reading."
Axel: "So…late…sleepy…"
WHUMP.
Breezy: "Axel? You still with us? Oh, well. Reviews are highly welcome, and I'll give cookies freely if it's asked. Just review, then pop."
Demyx: "I've been playing Guitar Hero 2 for hours…I think I'm gonna die…"
