Olette sat on the steps outside the apartments she now lived in. She hated this place and wanted to go really bad. She placed her elbows on her knees and her chin rested on her hands. She wanted to see her friends and couldn't wait untill she saw them again. Thinking about the times she had with them she grew sad. A few tears started rolling off her cheeks onto her lap. She wiped her eyes. If there was one thing she hated most, it would be crying. She sighed a deep sigh and crossed her arms on her legs placing her face in them. She started crying. She just wanted to go home.

Roxas landed on the pavement, having descended from the apartments above. He had not registered, but simply snuck in to have a look around. For the purpose of blending in he wore his street clothes, as the Organization cloak would probably have drawn much undesired attention his way. His deep pools of eyes glanced about his location, scanning the area for anything remotely interesting. That was when they fell upon her.
Roxas felt his heart stop, his breath caught in his chest. Not far from him sat Olette, one of his friends from Twilight Town. His initial shock soon turned into joy as, for the first time in a while, his face lit up. She seemed to be crying though; most likely as a result of her situation. He couldn’t allow that to take place for very long, now could he?
Approaching at something resembling a jog, the young Nobody found himself crouched so that he was at eyelevel with the weeping girl. “Hey, Olette! I can’t believe I found you here!”
(Couldn’t think of anything better. =P)

Olette looked up and then immediately jumped up wiping her tears away. She backed up a bit. How does he know her name? Was he some kind of stalker or something?
"Who are you? I don't even know you. How do you know my name?"
She looked at him with a scared look. The last thing she needed was someone to stalk her. She had a bad feeling in her gut and she just wanted to run, but she wanted to know who he was.
(It's ok lol..... NO BIG DEAL (: )

Roxas blinked, taken aback by his friend’s reaction. What had happened? “Olette? What’s wrong?” He got to his full height, still quite stunned. “It’s me, Roxas. Remember?” From what he was seeing she clearly did NOT remember, but it was the first phrase that came into his head.
On that note, why was she acting the way she was? Their misadventures over summer vacation alone, with Pence and Hayner, seemed to last a lifetime. So what exactly was going on? I don’t understand. Is it this world?

Olette gave a concerned look. She really didn't know who he was. His name was....Roxas. She didn't know anyone by that name.
"I'm sorry. Nothing is wrong I just don't remember you Roxas. I don't think we've ever met. At least I've never met you."
She looked at him sadly. She could tell that he thought they were really close. She wished she could help, but she truly did not know him. She has never even heard of him. She was scared.
"Again I'm sorry. Maybe we can be friends now and I can get to know you."

Despite the belief that this was not possible, Roxas was even more taken aback by Olette’s words. “Don’t....remember me? But I-” He cut off in midsentence, eyes wide in realization. The answer was beyond obvious, but he had been so overjoyed to see his friend that it had slipped his mind. That Twilight Town wasn’t real. That means that the Olette I knew....wasn’t real either......
He laughed. Without joy, without mirth, without heart, he laughed. It was the sort of sorrowful chuckle that resulted with the most twisted of ironies. Here he thought he had found a friend, and in truth he had never had one. No, there’s Axel. But I killed him....
Roxas stumbled back, so that his back was propped against the side of the building. One hand gripped his face, trying desperately to hold back the tears that wanted to come out. Here he had spent what he thought was a lifetime with the girl, and she was talking about getting to know him!

Olette gasped when he was laughing. What was he laughing about? There was nothing funny. She crossed her arms starting to get angry. After the laughing he fell back and held his face. He was sad. She uncrossed her arms and rushed up to him.
"Are you alright?"
She looked very concerned. Even though she didn't know him, she was worried about him. She didn't want anything to be wrong.
"Please don't cry. I don't like crying."

Roxas heard her speak, felt her approach. With an effort he stifled his tears, then wiped away what had already leaked out. Bringing his hand away he did his best to produce a smile for Olette. The Olette he had never known. “Sorry, I.....you looked like someone I knew once.” In retrospect this was a terrible lie, since he had already called her by her name. “I didn’t mean to scare you or anything.”
A sort of forced chuckle escaped from his lips, though this time it was a more humorous one. He missed the friends he had with all of his.....whatever he had instead of a heart. But that did not mean he had to make the ones who existed in their stead uncomfortable. She had offered to get to know him already, and that was an offer he couldn’t wait to take up.

This Roxas was making her sad. He was like her....in a way. He was missing friends, but how he knew her she didn't know and she wished she did. She gave him a gentle smile and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright. I'm ok now. You just kind of startled me. I just wish I knew how you know my name."
She looked down at her feet to think. She really didn't know what to do next. I guess it wouldn't hurt. She looked back up at him.
"Would you like to go upstairs to my apartment."
She broke out into a blush. Now after asking that she felt embarassed. She hoped he didn't think anything was weird about her.
"Umm...of course if you want to. We can stay out here I really don't care. Whatever is comfortable for you. Uhhh....ok I'll stop now. I'm babbling again."
She removed her hand and laughed at her stupidity, but she still kept her blush.

Roxas felt an amount of relief when Olette responded favorably to his excuse. It seemed that their odd moment had passed. Of course, it made way for a somewhat more awkward one when she invited him into her place. Even he blushed a little at that, despite his heartless nature as a Nobody. “I wouldn’t mind if that’s cool with you.” He had actually wondered how people lived here, seeing as he had not actually registered.
He laughed along with her, the red tinge finally vanishing from his face. The chance to restart from scratch.....Roxas never thought that might happen. And if Olette really existed, did that mean the same for the others? Was there another Hayner, another Pence, out there?

Olette scratched the back of her head and smiled.
"Well ok. If ya want to."
She put her hand down and turned to open the door. She walked inside and waved him in. She walked up the stairs and took out her key and opened it. She waved him in.
"You first. Fleas before beauty," she laughed, "I'm just joking."

Roxas willingly followed after the girl, taking a flight of stairs up after her. Had Hayner been around he would have given him a hard time for seeing Olette’s room. Everyone would have joked about it for the next week or so and there would be a laugh for everyone. He missed those days, even if they were fake....
Finally they reached a door, which Olette promptly unlocked. He entered as was ushered. “Hey, we fleas can be beautiful too.” he quipped as he passed her. Upon entering his eyes scanned about the modest living space. It was certainly doable, but he thought for sure that people deserved something better for leaving their homes. “So this is the place, huh?” He realized that it was a stupid question but just left it at that.

Olette laughed and walked in after him. She closed the door behind her and then turned to him.
"Yah this is what they give us. I hate it. Well go ahead and sit down if you want to. Make yourself at home."
She crossed her arms and walked over to him making sure she wasn't obssessively close. That would be weird.
"Uh.. do you want a drink or something to snack on?"

Roxas circled the place, quite intent with it for some odd reason. “At least they don’t make you sleep in an alley or something. I see what you mean though....” He turned to face her as she approached, his focus returning to his impromptu host. “Food? No thanks, I’m good for now.” He actually wondered where the food came from for some people. Did they have jobs in the city somewhere?
The Nobody took a seat at the edge of the couch, hugging to the arm somewhat. “So how long have you been living here? In the Capital, I mean.”

Olette made her way over to the couch and sat down. She frowned a bit.
"Yah atleast they don't, but I don't even want to be here so anywhere would be just as bad. I want to go home."
She kept her gaze on him as they talked. Showing she was paying attention, but not staring.
"I've only been here a few days. A long few days it has been too."
