1. Action
[Roxas was sitting on top of the city hall building. It wasn't quite clear how he'd gotten up there but Roxas had always been pretty good at getting on top of buildings he probably wasn't supposed to. He'd been avoiding a lot of people recently for various reasons, but even as anti-social as he could be it was starting to get boring

Roxas...Would it...Be okay if I sat with you?

I don't mind. Can you get up here okay?

I'm sure I can manage it. Don't worry. Just...give me a moment.

[Yeah, because that's the ONLY reason he wants her to hurry up]

Um...H-Hi...

Hey, glad you could make it.
[Without realizing it he's already pulled out one of the sea-salt ice cream bars and is holding it out to the person]

Thank you for inviting me, Roxas. [She nibbles nervously at the tip of the ice cream before sitting down next to him.] I've been...meaning to talk to you, actually.

He hesitates and then looks over at her]
Well, to be honest, I'd wanted to talk to you too.

Roxas...You. Recognize this coat I'm wearing, don't you...?
Reply
Yeah, it's a coat from the Organization. But...I'm sorry I don't recognize you at all. I know my memories are still a little fuzzy because of Twilight Town and what DiZ was doing with Sora...but I know I should know you and I remember almost all of the other members.
[He looked up at her, both curious and confused]
So why can't I remember you?
Reply
I...We used to be...friends.
You, and me, and Axel too.
We would sit on the clocktower, just like this, and watch the sunset.
...But. [A long pause as she takes a gentle breath. He...It would be too much to tell him everything at first. She can't do it.]
I had to...go away. And then...When I did? Naminé said it would make everyone forgot about me...All traces of me were gone. Then...I ended up here.

[Roxas blinks and then suddenly he winces again. Something...a memory...pounds at his brain but it won't take root.]
But, you're here now, right? So...I should be able to remember you. It...it wouldn't be fair otherwise.
[Roxas knew he didn't have many friends. The Organization wasn't a friendly group and he wasn't like Sora who had friends on so many worlds...at least...he wasn't EXACTLY like Sora. Still, these emotions he was feeling...those had to be based on something that happened with Xion right?]
I'm sorry.

It's not your fault...[There's a tugging in the back of her head that wants her to break down and tell him how much he means to her. How they were best friends. What they went through together.
But looking at the confusion on his face...
She can't.]
Reply
After a moment he looks up at Xion]
Then we'll just have to start over then. I mean...if you still want to be friends, I guess. [He offers her a small smile because as far as he is concerned the choice has been made]
