1,095 days. Maybe I should stop counting, but I can't stop. It's weird...it's like nothing's changed, but everything has. In the last three years, I've seen my best friends come and go, I've seen Sora come and go, and I've met someone who looks just like me and a psychopath who kept hurting my friends. But in the last three years, Axel's still as goofy as ever, Xion's learning just as much as I am, and the two of them have stuck with me even with all of my strange thoughts and patterns. I guess that's really what friendship is.

It took three or four tries, but I think I finally understand Sora. I'm still not sure what it all means to me, but I can at least say I feel better about things.

I guess...I've grown. We all have. But what happens after that? Do we all keep growing, or are we going to run out of places to grow? Maybe I'll have an answer to that next year.

...what's the longest amount of time any of you ever thought you'd be here? And were you guys disappointed when that amount of time passed? [Not if. When.] Not to scare the New Feathers or anything, but I know a lot of you out there have been here for a while.

Maybe I should say welcome to the new people anyway. I'm Roxas. I'm not sure how I can, but let me know if I can help somehow.

...oh,Axel and Xion? I know you guys are probably busy but I've got something for you. You know where to find me...and anyway I have something to ask you two. [On the roof, specifically.]

Sora you can come, too. And Ven. And...whoever. [He's got enough to share with everybody really.]

[[ooc: as a side note, currently at work and tags may be slow but I wanted to get this post up. Thanks guys!]]

[ .... she smiles, and sits beside him. ]

Like what?

I believe it with everything I've got.

I didn't say you did.

[Silly, silly Roxas.]

But I figure it's good to stay positive, even in a place like this.

Let's go to the mountains for a while. Or even the beach! We should just go on a camping trip for a few days, just the three of us. I mean...I like living here. I like being close to Sora and the others but sometimes...[Sometimes Roxas wants to be selfish and hang out with his friends okay. No Sora, no Kairi, no Riku, no Luke. Just the three of them like it's been from the start.]

Well. What do you think?

Then we'll make it happen. We have to. If you really believe it, we'll find a way.

Did you always stay positive back home, too?

Roxas... As long as we've got each other, there's nothing we can't set right.

It's a promise then. We'll set it all right.

I think it's a wonderful idea, Roxas. [ She smiles, very warmly. ] I don't even care where we go. Let's just ... go!

Sure did! Even when things got rough, I kept moving forward.

[Most of the time, anyway.]

We'll let Axel pick. He's the one who taught us about vacations anyway, it'd only be fair that he gets to pick out this one. And it'll be a real one. No practicing from any of us...and Axel's not allowed to sleep the whole time.

...that's how Terra and Aqua kept going, isn't it?

Disappointment...

[Distant tone.] Hah... no. I would have to be expecting something, ne? Having a whole planet to explore would have been nicer, but as far as mad scientists go, the Malnosso could be a lot worse than just caging this much room.

Besides, whenever I get sent back or whatever, it's just more room again. And in the meantime, everything's free and I can't possibly age.

Not that I'm looking for upsides, but disappointment isn't really the word I'd use. It's more frustrating than anything else.

Okay, so frustrating is a good word to use. And those are good upsides to have, and trust me I have my own upsides, but I still get bored. But maybe that just comes from being here so long. I'm not used to it. I kind of miss going to all sorts of worlds.

...is aging really a bad thing?

Yeah, exactly. I think that's really what I miss most. Just traveling.

I wouldn't know. I'm not that aged yet! [.... ~~Suuuure. *cough cough.*~~] I'd just rather make sure I never will be!

Good. And happy birthday again.

I think so. We've all been through some rough times, especially here, but it always got better after a while.

But if we worried all the time, we'd miss out on all the good things in life.

Maybe someday they'll actually open a path to another part of Luceti. This can't be the only place.

...okay, sure. I guess that's fair enough. [He's not sure he believes her, but whatever, whatever.] You really think we don't age here though? [Because that pops a hole in his own little bubble.]

Thanks, Sora. It means a lot...all of it.

Just as long as you don't forget to pay attention to the bad things, too. Otherwise they'll get to you.

Anytime, Roxas. We're... kinda related in a way, you know? Like brothers, almost.

Yeah. Sometimes you have to face them, and sometimes you can't always stay upbeat. Especially when things get real serious.

...[Yeah, that's true, isn't it? The last time Sora was here he made that comparison but Roxas wasn't entirely sure about it. This time though? Yeah, he gets that.]

Which is cool, because I've never had a brother before. I'll try not to let you down.

Wish you could though. Makes me wonder how different things would be if everyone always stayed positive.
