Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 53: A Memorial's Reunion

Roxas! I thought you said we would clear the castle first?

I know, but, I figure, if we take care of it now, we won't forget. Besides, you never really get to see the city do you? Superior said its ok to socialize now with somebodies, I want to show you where I and Xion go to get ice cream! And where we can get cameras.

-Hummed the boyish one, whom like a child had his arm hooked to Xion. The girl in question seemed to be looking around much more alert than usual. Perhaps it was the bustling busy city with all its moving parts keeping her mentally stimulated enough to want to look at it all. So many bright colors, people, fast moving cars... None of which she ever got to see back home in the world of black, white and dozens of shades of grey.-

Ice cream... again?

Of course. I told you, its something we will do a lot together, because we are friends. You like ice cream Xion?

...Yes. Its good.

-Acer giggled reaching out to ruffle Roxas's hair causing him to whine. She couldn't help it, they both were just so adorable! Xion continued being lead along, quietly piping up after a second.-

16... go too?

What? Uh...

-Roxas's brow furrowed and his face twisted in dislike for the idea. He didn't want Shaddow clogging up his time with Xion.-

Why does he need to come with us?

...16... my friend too. Axel Roxas's friend?

I...

-Yeah, he guessed that was a good point, Roxas did get ice cream with Axel, and he never exactly had thought to ask about her opinion of spending time with him too as a group. He sighed, and conceded.-

Fine, I guess. Just tell him not to act weird.

-The blond boy partially chastised himself, what was the matter with him? Sure 16 was anerving but... 16 hadn't exactly been mean to him either. If anything if it wasn't for Shaddow, he and Xion wouldn't even be here. Maybe... maybe that was why. He looked over at Xion contemplatively as they walked, was it because Shaddow had saved them? He could understand that he guessed, it was kind of like how Axel always sought him out to spend time with him, even though he didn't have to. Shaddow hadn't needed to save him and Xion... He guessed, that was acceptable enough. Acer could see the pairs gears turning in there little heads, and she tried not to be too amused by it all, she blinked however when Roxas came to a stop in front of a little corner shop that looked like a hole in the wall kind of place.-

Is this it Roxas?

Mmhm!

-The dinging of the bell for the door went off as the key of destiny lead the pair inside. The place was so dead that flies probably crawled up inside it to get busy. Leslie himself was perched in his chair, snoozing. Roxas tried not to smirk as he wandered over with his unusual group, humming out- -

So is this what its like to be an adult?

-Leslie paused, his soft snoring had ceased, and slowly an eye cracked from under his hat.-

Even adults get tired. What's up?

I came to pay my bill of course!

Too late, someone already came by.

What?

-Roxas looked terribly confused, he then panicked.-

Oh! Is it too late!? What happens now!?

Ha, no kid you misunderstand. Someone came by and paid for you. Tall guy, robe like yours, long silver hair. He your dad or something? He knew all your information.
