Chapter 7: Secrets Even in Friendships!

        "Breath... should I take a deep?" Ruby is shown sitting alone on the clock tower as she stares out at the sunset. "Faith... should I take the leap?" Roxas is shown in his organization thirteen cloak with the hood up. "Taste... what a bittersweet!" The two are shown walking the opposite direction of one another before they are shown looking at one another from over their shoulders. "All my, all my life!" Axel is shown walking over to Roxas and putting his arm around his neck and pulls him away. "Let me face!" Ruby is shown looking away as she stood alone. "Let me face!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown running from Nobodies that suddenly attack. "Let me face my fears!" Roxas is shown looking down sadly as he was forced to follow orders. "Let me face! Let me face! Let me face my fears!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown laughing as she sits next to Roxas as the two talk. "Won't be long!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown standing with shock on her face as Roxas is shown standing in front of her. "Won't be long!" Light flashes and Ruby is shown crying as she stood alone. "I'm almost here!" Light flashes as Sora and Roxas are shown on separate screens before Roxas is shown fading away and Sora is shown alone. "Watch me cry all my tears!" Ruby is staring at the sky as it looked like doves fly around her. "Let me face!" Light flashes as Ruby is shown floating back as she reached up. "Let me face!" Roxas, Ruby, Xion and Axel are shown laughing together as Ruby and Roxas sat beside one another. "Let me face my fears!" Music continues to play as Ruby and Roxas are shown reuniting before Ruby is shown sitting alone as she stares at out the sky and the title is shown above her.

[Twenty Days Later]

Xion and Axel sit eating ice cream. Xion takes a bite and she looks over and sighs. She hadn't seen Ruby for about a month. She was starting to get worried. She understood that Ruby was human so she knew that it was safer for Ruby to stay away from Nobodies like them, but at the same time, she missed having Ruby to bright the conversation.

"She's not coming." Axel says.

"We haven't seen her since... since we talked about not being friends forever." Xion says.

"It finally reached her. We don't exist and we'll never exist." Axel says.

"Roxas and her are close. I thought that one of the reasons she came was because of Roxas. Speaking of... he's late today as well." Xion says.

"Hope Xigbar isn't giving him too hard of a time." Axel says.

"Yeah, right." Xion says, "You know what, Axel?"

"Hm?" Axel asks.

"When I sit here and talk with you guys... I get the strangest feeling... that a long time ago, I used to watch the sunset with somebody else. It's the same when I watch the sea. Someplace by the sea... where I hear the sound of the waves... I get the feeling that I was talking with someone." Xion says.

"So you mean that... you have memories of your past?" Axel asks.

"No... it's not quite like that. Well, I dunno. What do you think? Are these memories?" Xion asks.

"Huh... I wouldn't know either." Axel says.

"You have memories, don't you?" Xion asks.

"Yeah, sorta. Though it's not like they've ever really done me any good." Axel says.

"Roxas is like me. Neither one of us remembers much. I wonder if he and I... had this much in common before we were Nobodies." Xion says.

[Earlier that Day]

Ruby finished up her class work and she begins to read. She looks up when she spots three people move in front of her. It was Olette, Hayner and Pence.
