(F/n)'s P.O.V

I was walking around Twilight Town when I saw this man with red hair and a black cloak having difficulty fighting off some heartless... Axel, of course. I summoned my keyblade and started fighting alongside him. When they all disappeared, he spoke.

"Haha, just like the good ol' times." Axel stated. I looked at him in confusion. "Oh right, you don't remember me..." he said in a sense of sadness, "You're just dreaming, so I doubt you'll get any answers, but..." he hesitated.

He seemed to put a lot of thought to what he said next: "It's good to see you again, Organization Member... Number Thirteen."

I jolted awake and sat up on my bed. What was that?! I questioned my mind. Organization Member Number Thirteen? Wasn't that Roxas' number? How could that possibly apply to me? I needed answers, but I lost all contact with DiZ. Naminé was my only hope.

Naminé's P.O.V

(F/n) contacted me that day, she wanted answers, she said it was urgent. I made sure DiZ wasn't paying attention and made my way to (F/n)'s house in Twilight Town.

(F/n)'s P.O.V

I waited for my answers after I finished telling Naminé about my dream, she thought long and hard about what to say.

"A-am I a nobody too?" I asked in panic, finally breaking the silence.

"No, you're not."

"Then how am I Organization Member Number Thirteen?! It doesn't make any sense." I told her.

Naminé took a deep breath, "A long time ago, I erased your memories before you even met Sora. You used to live here, in Twilight Town, where you started working for the organization when you met Axel. Roxas never existed back then, so you were Number Thirteen."

"But I thought the organization only consisted of nobodies," I added.

"They do, that's why you didn't really work within the organization; they were desperate for a keyblade wielder, and at the time you were the only one in Twilight Town, they thought to have you, but only a few people including yourself and Axel knew, and they had you conducting missions to eliminate heartless." Naminé carried on, "One day the entire organization found out, and had you kicked out. You had nowhere else to go. When I came along, DiZ told me to erase your memories on Organization XIII, that it was for good reason... he also told me to send you to Destiny Islands, where you met Sora, Riku and Kairi... In which case, I planted memories of you in their minds as well." she concluded. I didn't know what to do with this knowledge, I apparently had connections to all these different people, and it scared me. It felt like I had to choose a side; the side of my first friends that didn't care, or the side of the ones who came along that did, or maybe even the fake friends that don't know my past and still like me for me?

I looked down trying to connect all the pieces until my brain eventually became a big mess of scrambles from all my thoughts and made me so confused I couldn't work out what to do next. After a long silence from me trying to figure out what to do, I finally decided and put my game face on. I looked back up at Naminé.

"Where's DiZ?"

Roxas's P.O.V

I kept wondering what was taking her so long. Everyone else was here, maybe something came up? As I thought about the possibilities, I couldn't help but stare at the entrance to the usual spot in hopes she would walk in any second from now.

"Someone one your mind, Roxas? Maybe a girl by the name (F/n)?" Hayner said, bringing me back to reality. I nodded, not really caring if I was made fun of or not anymore. "Yeah, she would have texted us if she wasn't gonna show... think she's been kidnapped or something?" that sentence brought me to panic.

"What?! Kidnapped?! We have to find her!" I said, standing up. Olette calmed me down and looked over at Hayner.

"Don't scare the poor guy, Hayner! Can't you see he's stressing over his crush and possible future girlfriend?" everyone in the room blinked in surprise at that statement. "What?" she said, all innocent-like.

"C-c-crush? Nuh-uh. I don't think so." I told Olette.

"Oh come on, Roxas. You're too easy to read, it's obvious you have a crush on her. Talk to us," Olette said rather sadly. Everyone looked at me expectantly and I sighed.

"Okay... I guess I probably should."

(F/n)'s P.O.V

"DiZ!" I shouted in anger.

"Ah, (F/n). I see you have returned... How is your progress with Roxas?" he asked.

"Cut it out! I found out that you were just keeping me alive for this moment; the moment I'd be needed to get Roxas back to Sora. I know all about my distant past when I was in Organization XIII! You can't lie to me anymore DiZ." I finished. DiZ looked at me in thought for a while.

"So you found out." I nodded. DiZ gave a brief chuckle. "Then be gone from my sights. Don't contact this place again." I blinked and shook my head in confusion.

"I'm sorry, what-"

"It just proves you're no use to me now that you've found out. Roxas will return to Sora, whether you are here or not." DiZ told me.

"Wha-" I hesitated, "you're a monster," I told him.

"Why, I am just doing what is right for this world." DiZ explained. Then he smirked, "Hm. Could it be that you have developed some sort of feeling for him?" he asked. I went pale, my heart skipped a beat and I hesitated for a while before walking away.

Will I just always be known as Organization member number thirteen to people?

I'm sorry, Roxas...

I... misunderstood you.

Roxas' P.O.V

We must've talked for about an hour before she finally showed up.

"There you are! Where have you been all day?" Pence questioned.

"Sorry, got caught up in some stuff," she explained rather quietly like she was in a distant world on her own. I felt something was off about her, so I asked.

"Is something up? You seem out of it." I said in concern. She looked my way and smiled.

"Oh Roxas, how is it you know how to read people's minds?"

"Huh?" I asked in confusion.

"Nothing. I'm okay, thanks for your concern. It's nothing." she assured, almost as if trying to assure herself. Later when we were making the plans for the day, I noticed she was talking to herself, saying with a bit of a gloomy expression, "Nothing at all..."
