Just watch, it'll happen! As soon as we get back...he got an unfair advantage anyway.

[Y'know. Darkness and all that. Is that how it worked? It's convenient for Roxas to blame.]

[leaberator]

An unfair advantage? [ he's laughing ] Like what, being older?

[cyclists]

And other stuff! He's not that much older.

[leaberator]

So what's the other stuff, then?

[cyclists]

He's just a cheater, that's all.

[leaberator]

Every time with that.

[ he shakes his head because maybe darkness makes people tall. who knows. ]

Either way, I guess you're not technically out of the running yet.

[cyclists]

That's because it's true, nobody can say otherwise. Eventually he's gonna have to stop growing, too, and then I can be taller than him.

[leaberator]

Yeah, yeah, you'll show him up in all possible ways.

[ he's trying SO HARD not to laugh. roxas's petty grudges are so funny when they're not directed at him ]

[cyclists]

Thanks for your support. [He can SEE YOU TRYING NOT TO LAUGH, AXEL.] ...he's gotten better but he still never actually apologized, so.

[Petty grudges it is.]

[leaberator]

Ah, you guys just need to talk it out. Did you even give him the chance to apologize?

[ the answer is did they even have time. to talk. he's been BUSY ]

[cyclists]

Sort of. Like, a whole day. [So lmao no.]

[leaberator]

So impatient... [ he taps roxas's forehead with his knuckles ] That doesn't count at all!

[cyclists]

[There's a grumble of "ow" as he swats Axel's hand away.] We went to the beach together! That was plenty of time.

[leaberator]

Because a celebration at the beach was the best time for that kinda talk? He's even more awkward than you are.

[doublebladed]

When you put it that way it sort of makes a little more sense. [Hm.] But it was supposed to be a celebration and new beginnings. Why wouldn't that be the perfect time?

[leaberator]

[ how tf would he know he wasn't there. yet? god. time travel. ]

Dragging out your drama in front of everybody else, even the ones who have no idea? Completely bringing down the mood in the middle of a party? Gee, why wouldn't that be excellent timing!

[doublebladed]

Now you're just making excuses for him. [Obviously?] It wouldn't have to be in front of everybody. Naminé and Xion found time to be alone together!

[leaberator]

[ how would he know that, roxas. he's laughing, though ]

I'm not making excuses! It's considered a faux pas to talk drama during celebrations. Parties are so not the place for that kinda stuff.

[doublebladed]

[Don't ask questions.]

Alright, alright, whatever. Maybe I'll give him a chance when we get back and bring Sora home. But if he messes that up that's his fault, not mine.

[leaberator]

'Course it is. He's the one who's gotta apologize to you.

[doublebladed]

Exactly. [Hmm...] ...there'll be time for that when everything goes back to normal. I can't wait.

[leaberator]

It'll be great.

[doublebladed]

But until then...we prepare for tomorrow. You get to nap, and I...get to figure out if Wednesday's coming or not.

[leaberator]

[ a beat ]

The cat?

[ HE PROBABLY MEANS THE DAY ]

[doublebladed]

Uh huh. [No he 100% means the cat.] It might be better if he stays behind.

[Considering, you know, Naminé's guilty as we all know now.]
