 I need to practice with Roxas! Please drop me a line.


Roxas finished smashing the computer, the one that ruined his life. He swung around angrily and stalked off into an unknown room where he found Sora, fast asleep.

DiZ appeared before him. His eyes narrowed, his hand clenched tightly around the keyblade as he swung it back and forth wildly, attempting to attack him. He was familiar. He was the one who did this to him. It was all about that Sora!

"My heart is my own!" Roxas cried, spinning around. Everything has gone white.

When Roxas awakened, he found himself face to face with....

You still set fire to it.

[heartismyown]

But not on purpose! I didn't hold out my hand and set it on fire!

[Roxas holds out his hand in demonstration but fortunately does not summon the flame.]

[by_heart]

It still caught on fire, so it still counts! No baking without adults!

[heartismyown]

Okay okay, we'll just invite Riku next time!

[by_heart]

Why do I think that will only make things worse...

[heartismyown]

[Roxas just grins at him and finishes his cake.]

[by_heart]

[That's an evil look, kid. Lea manages to get through his cake, too, but his stomach isn't thanking him for it. Roxas is gonna get the rest of that thing all to himself.]

What's that look for?

[heartismyown]

Nothing!

[Roxas clears his plate to the sink, licking the last of the frosting on his finger and surveys the room. He considers it a success after all there's an edible cake here.

[by_heart]

Uh huh. Sure. Nothing.

[Not after eating that much sugar.]

[heartismyown]

[Wait until he eats the rest of the cake Lea.]

Did you like the cake?

[by_heart]

Yeah, I did. Really sweet, though. Do we have any sugar left?

[heartismyown]

Uhhh, maybe!

[Roxas grins, pleased with himself. At least Lea liked it.]

[by_heart]

[Lea groans and flops over the table.]

You're paying for groceries next week.

[heartismyown]

Okay, fine.

[A pause. Then he blinks at Lea.]

Hey, Lea, can I borrow money for groceries?

[by_heart]

NO.

[Lea doesn't budge from the table, yet somehow still manages to make a rude gesture.]

[heartismyown]

But I don't have any money!

[Roxas has been pretty slacking when it comes to contributing to Lea's household budget.]

[by_heart]

Get a job, freeloader.

[Lea doesn't really have a job, but training involves running errands for Yen Sid that usually involve beating something until munny comes out, so he can at least afford things.]

[heartismyown]

[He huffs.]

Fine, maybe I will!

[by_heart]

Make sure it's legal first.

[He shouldn't have to add that, but this is Roxas.]

[heartismyown]

Of course it would be legal, why wouldn't it be?

[by_heart]

Because you talk to weird strangers and trust everybody.

[Lea knows the deal.]

[heartismyown]

I don't trust everybody.

[He can be very trusting, but it's not completely.]

[by_heart]

Close enough!

[Enough to get himself in trouble.]

You know what I mean.

[heartismyown]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Fine, I'll get a job.

[by_heart]

Hooray.

[Lea's arms flop on the table. He should probably get up at some point.]
