Chapter 5: Fateful Encounter Down on Main Street (Part 2)


“You’ll see what I mean once you get there, ‘kay?” She winked.

At this, the dark haired woman took Hayner into her arms and hoisted him up like a baby. Roxas was pretty damn sure Hayner would have loved being so close to the Tifa’s bosom, but on further thought, he figured the guy would probably just pass out again if he knew about it. Ehh… I’ll just keep this incident to myself, he thought, knowing very well that this was an extra precaution to protect his best friend from harming himself. The blonde also knew that Hayner would probably end up talking about it for weeks on end… so in essence he was also saving his, Pence’s, and Olette’s ears from bleeding for that long.

Straightening himself up, Roxas nodded at Tifa before the two went their own separate ways. Although nothing specific had been said between them, they had a silent mutual agreement just by looking into each other’s eyes. A mere glance and they were able to understand one another completely. From what the boy understood, they would meet up later at the front of the stand after all requirements were handled and dealt with. One of these requirements, being that Roxas would need to take a nice long bath and change his sweaty clothes. Problem was, the ones he wore now were his only clothes. This meant he’d have to wash them too!

As he continued down the gravel path, the one road eventually broke off into three separate directions, each bearing a large sign overhead. The left most sign was painted in a rather annoying style of writing, obviously made by Olette, which said ‘BaThInG wAtEr’. Ignoring the other signs, Roxas calmly headed down this path, unaware that two people, not too far behind, were trying to chase, calling out his name, and wave their hands at him just to get his attention.
