This could have been the other way around

"Huh??"

GET OUT OF HERE

#((GOMEN NOT GOMEN I HAD TO))

# NOT U

"Then me?"

Okay, okay. I’ll do my best…or would that be my worst?

Huh. I wonder what you get for winning? We should try and find another stick so we can find out!

Heh, as long as you do something about it, I'll be happy.

I'm not that curious about it, really. But if you wanna, then why not? Guess that means you'll be getting ice cream pretty often then, huh.

Nothing’s gunna happen to you, Roxas. Me ‘n Sora’ll make sure of it.

But yeah, I didn’t have the heart to redeem it. I’ve been keeping it on me as sort of a good luck charm. And hey, don’t apologize. We both had our own issues when all of that was happening, and you were kept in the dark about a lot of stuff that was important. I really don’t blame you…

Hey now!

I can fight just fine on my own. I don't need to be protected!

..you kept it? I think I almost prefer that. And I still feel like I should apologize. You were feeling the frustration as much as I was, and I only felt that in hindsight

I was really insensitive...

It’s been a long time since we sat down like this and talked. It’s good to know you and Sora at least get along now, though. I’d hate to run into you while you’re still in a mood, heh.

…You know, I got that stick. The ‘winner’ one you left me.

#((alrighty then i'll try to keep that in mind~))

Yeah...it's nice, though. What's the word...nostalgic?

He's got a good heart--in the end, I'm glad he's my Other, no matter what might end up happening to me.

...

You did, huh? I'm glad. And I should probably apologize. For the way I acted when I left...I'm sorry, Axel.

Heckle him? I dunno about that…

"Winner" stick, huh? Yeah, I can ask him, but what’s that about? Er, if you don’t mind me asking.

Come on! He used to tease me all the time...he deserves it!

Oh, it's from the sea salt ice cream. If you got lucky, one of the sticks would say "Winner" on it in big letters...though I can't exactly remember what you were able to win from the whole thing.

Okay. Next time I see him, I’m taking him for ice cream, and I won’t take no for an answer!

Oh, is there anything you’d want me to say to him? I can pass on a message too, if you’d like.

Good! And you better heckle him at least a little bit, the idiot deserves at least that much.

Message, huh...? Nothing in particular. We've kept our promises to each other now, so I'm not sure....ah! No...could you ask him something for me? Could you ask him...if he found the "Winner" stick?

Well, the Organization hates me now, so there’s that. I kind of went MIA after the whole Twilight Town incident.

I just couldn’t stand them anymore. And when you get feelings that strong, you kinda start to realize that everything they tell you isn’t true, so…

But what about you? What’ve you been up to?

#((so where exactly in canon are we gonna be playing this))#((because this is axel so i'm wondering the validity of mentioning KH3D stuff))

Ah...yeah, I think I heard a bit of that from Sora.

Grrr. Just thinking about Xemnas makes my blood boil. Good riddance! I'm glad you managed to get out of that!

I...haven't been up to too much. After we parted that last time, I rejoined with Sora. Heh, I was pretty angry at him for a while. I think I affected his temperament a bit, actually. Though once I got over myself, things got pretty nice.

The next life, huh…Sorry, it’s just kinda hard for me to wrap my head around, y’know?

But if that’s what you want, Roxas, then I’ll do it. I gotta help you keep your promise, after all.

Ah, no, I should be the one apologize...though even I have a bit of a strange time thinking about it, since our situation is...well, haha.

...yeah, please. It will probably be really strange at first, and for that I'll apologize in advance. But I'm sure he remembers that promise, too, and I don't want to ignore it.

Man, I can’t believe he used you guys like that. And he tricked you all into to thinking that you didn’t have hearts! That’s just….it’s just wrong!

But…do you really think I should ask Lea to do something like that we me? After all, it was kind of your thing.

#((GOMEN I JUST DO THESE THINGS))

Well, the important thing is that we don't have to worry about that anymore. And I never have to go back to that ridiculous place.

Yeah, I think you should. I was...kinda jealous at first, but now I think I'd like it if you two got to know each other better and were able to get along. Lea is Axel's new life....and, really, you're mine. We promised each other we'd meet in the next life, so I don't think there's a better way to go about it than this

Just ice cream? That’s easy.

You guys really didn’t get out much, huh? More like Organization “No Fun”.

#((i wouldn't be me if i didn't manage to sneak in something painful now would i))

Yeah, pretty much. But somehow it felt like a lot more than ice cream.

We basically were some creepy multi-armed heartless-killing machine, with Xehanort watching from his high horse...or, well, I guess I was technically the only one he sent out to really kill the heartless...I think? I feel like....there might have been someone else, but I might just be mistaking all the other members that used to escort me.

It was always after missions that Axel and I would eat ice cream! We went to the top of the Twilight Town clock tower and sat there together.

Oh yeah, I guess we do.

Wanna go to our usual place? Like old times?

Definitely! I wouldn't want it any other way!

So why don't you start by telling me what you've actually been up to lately. You were pretty quiet earlier.

..Eeeeh, that must have been something else. Somehow I get the impression it just sort of happened by accident. Wouldn’t surprise me, really…he’s full of ridiculous stuff like that.

I guess in some ways I’ll be able to fight with him again…that brings back some memories. I’m glad Xehanort couldn’t get his greedy hands on him, and even happier he managed to join up with you guys!

If it weren’t for him, I’d be the one Xehanort got his hands on. I really owe him one.

I gotta find a way to thank him. What do you think he’d like?

#((sometimes i like to view the RPs as sora literally talking to himself))#((or like sorting through memories by way of conversations))#((sudenly walks up to lea HEY LET'S ICE CREAM))#((lea flips out for two seconds hOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW))

Heh, I guess he ended up keeping that promise of his one way or another.

But as for what he'd like...to be honest we never really did much other than eat ice cream every day and just talk. I wonder how he'd react if you invited him to eat ice cream...

H-hey now, don’t start crying or anything!

Uh, uh, we could go get icecream okay? My treat. Just please stop crying!

Ah jeez…

Mm.

Ice cream, huh...? Y-yeah, let's go! Maybe we can catch up...there's probably a lot to talk about.

…He….h-he….

HE HAS A KEYBLADE NOW???

How…did I not get this information…Axel…Lea…has a keyblade…I must have been deep asleep or something….

How long has he had one for?

He summoned it for the first time right after the exam. Trust me, we were all just as surprised as you are. He’s training with the rest of us now, and he’s gonna help us beat Xehanort.

…I guess I could have mentioned that earlier, huh?

..Eeeeh, that must have been something else. Somehow I get the impression it just sort of happened by accident. Wouldn't surprise me, really...he's full of ridiculous stuff like that.

I guess in some ways I'll be able to fight with him again...that brings back some memories. I'm glad Xehanort couldn't get his greedy hands on him, and even happier he managed to join up with you guys!

…Thank you, Sora.

Mm, I’ll take your word for it! Though I hope this means you’ll be able to get along with him as well. It’d mean a lot to me if all the people I cared about, cared about each other as well!

No problem! He’s a little weird sometimes, but Lea’s a really great guy.

Besides, now he’s a Keyblade wielder, too! We’re all on the same side, so why wouldn’t we get along?

#((we did it we broke the sadness barrier))

...He....h-he....

HE HAS A KEYBLADE NOW???

How...did I not get this information...Axel...Lea...has a keyblade...I must have been deep asleep or something....

How long has he had one for?

I…I see.

S-Sora…despite everything I’ve told him, is trying to give me a chance to be free. It’s small, but…it’s probably more than I could have ever asked for.

Since I get to see you again.

I didn’t think that was possible, living separately from your other self like that.

It’s good of him though.

I missed my best friend.

#((that's it. that's all you get out of him))#((more like that's all he can manage))

Ah...A..

Axeeelllllllllllllllllll...!

It’s been a long time…since I’ve been able to see you.

…how are you doing lately?

*shrug* I’ve been as good as I can get. Y’know, with me going solo all this time.

What about you? I thought you’d…not be here anymore by now?
