Serah put a spell around the fire to keep it contained before running off after Xander. She found him on the beach and sat next to him. "Are you okay?" she asked looking at him. "I'm sorry if I said anything to hurt you," she said, "I really didn't mean any harm." She waited a while with no response before another idea popped in her head. "I've got it," she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward a little hut which led to the other side of the island where the obstacle course was. "This use to be our favorite thing to do when we were little. Remember I was afraid to go down the zipline and you decided you were going to go with me. You held me and we both slide down. It wasn't so scary after that." She smiled remembering how close he held her causing her to blush.

She blushed and for once in her life she thanked the darkness he couldn't see. "Of course I remembered that, how could I have forgotten?" She then looked at the boat. "Oh that's always been there. I'm still not 100% sure what it is," she laughed and walked over to their cave picture and laughed. "Wow we were amazing artists," she laughed noticing her poorly drawn picture.

"Don't say that," she said smiling at him. "Everything happens for a reason. It was destiny that reunited us," she answered. "You have to stop being so hard on yourself," she said bending down a little to fit into the small entrance of the trio's former "secret hiding place." Inside there were numerous drawings on the wall. One in particular was the one Sora and Kairi drew of each other back when they were kids. She walked over and touched the caves wall. "I remember this one time for my birthday, you and Aaron both came to the island earlier then me and hid in here with a ton of balloons. I remember being so surprised. Oh and you too tried your luck at backing a cake too but it was halfway eaten by the time I got there," she smiled. "Do you remember which one of you two ate it? I still don't know to this day."

Serah smiled and grabbed his hand a little pink in the face from his kiss. "Where do you want to go first?" she asked looking around and seeing the hidden caves entrance. "Wanna go there first?" she asked pointing to it.

Serah looked around, "No, it can't be," she said in disbelief. "This can't be our home," tears started coming down her cheeks and she quickly wiped them away. She knelt down next to Xander and hugged his kneeling form. "It's okay," she said trying to comfort him, "we'll get it back somehow," she promised half to herself. She looked down then an idea came to her. "Xander how about we walk around maybe more of your memories will surface once you see parts of the Islands."

Serah got up finding herself on a strange beach. "Where am I?" she asked looking around and noticing Xander further down on the beach. "Xander!" she yelled running to him. She looked up and and only saw sky. "How did we get here?" she asked to herself. An image of Aaron popped in her head, 'Please be safe,' she thought to herself. When she reached Xander she asked, "Are you okay? What happened? Where are we?" she asked noticing they were the only two people on the dark beach.

Serah felt relieved knowing that both of them understand the weight of her decision. She got ready to run at Xemnas when she saw Xander fall down the stairs holding his head in pain. She looked at Aaron making sure he was okay with holding off Xemnas while she helped Xander. She nodded at him and ran down the steps to Xander using a quick curaga spell on him hoping he would be okay, or at least make the pain numb.

Serah paused letting the words Aaron spoke sink in. "I-I..."Serah started but couldn't figure out what she wanted to say. She loved both boys equally and right now Xemnas was their main concern. Xander's question allowed her to calm down a bit. "This is Aaron, the three of us use to play on the islands together," she replied smiling. 'I wonder how long I can stall my feelings. I don't want to hurt either of them," she thought looking at Xemnas.

Serah smiled at Aaron relieved that the trio was back together again. She then turned her gaze back to Xemnas and glared at him. "So anyone have a plan for this?" she asked remembering the stories she heard at the powerful leader of the Nobodies. 'Well this is the perfect why to have a friendship reunion,' she thought sarcastically to herself.

"Xemnas!" Serah shouted shocked. 'Can't we catch a break' she thought to herself. "Wait," she whispered to Xander. "This is Xemnas, Xehanort's nobody. That means that the REAL Xehanort is still gone. We can't kill his nobody especially if his heartless is already dead," she pointed out whispering her plan to Xander

Serah looked at him, " No you didn't hurt me I'm just red at the moment," she smiled and pressed the number 13 button. She looked up at the top of the elevator and started whistling looking at Xander through the corner of her eye.

She laughed with him. "Well he would have killed my day. I would have been so mad," she said as the elevator dinged and opened. "Up or down?" she asked looking at the buttons noticing they were on the 13th floor out of 15 and each button had a roman numeral number on it.

"Okay, sorry. I don't know why I'm like this," she said feeling her face go back to a normal color, that is until Xander grabbed her hand. "You know, you're really strong," she said trying to take her mind off of the kiss and him holding her hand. "I was really impressed back there," she smiled feeling her face go back to a normal color.

Serah blushed and kissed him back then looked away getting redder. "We should move on," she said blushing but smiling. "Which way now?" she asked looking around trying not to make eye contact with Xander fearing she would only get redder. "Let's go this way she said go to the left and walking into a wall. "Whops, that is not a way," she said laughing at herself and goingt he other way. "Sorry about that." 'Smooth idiot,' she thought o herself as she walked a head of him.

Serah groaned trying to shake the pain away. She slowly got up holding her head and healing herself. "I'm fine. Thank you Xander," she smiled at him fully healing herself. She hugged him and smiled "thank you, you saved my life," she said blushing as she pulled away from him. She kissed his cheek quickly and looked away blushing. "Sorry about that."

Serah gripped her keyblade and ran at the data Roxas. "Why are you doingt his I thought you were better then this?" She said attacking him.

"You really think you can kill us?! You're just Data," Serah said gripping her keyblade tighter. She then looked at Xander. "let's kick his butt!"

"R-Roxas?" Serah thought out loud. "Wait you're alive?! Even if you are just Data. Is Sora okay?" she asked. She then looked at Xander. "What do you want Roxas?"

"Who are you?!" Serah demanded summoning her keyblade holding onto it tighter. She took a step back trying to get a good look at his face.

Serah blushed again looking straight ahead, "well I'm not sure, I definitely have strong feelings for you," she blushed walking up a couple more steps to the top starting at a hallway, "which way? left or right?"

Serah got redder, 'I guess there is no backing out,' she thought. She looked at him and her face was really red. She took a deep breath, "well it was a pretty good memory." she smiled

She blushed again, "Well, every memory I have is special to me. The ones of you and Aaron in particular are even more special to me then any other memory. I guess because we were all so close and whenever I miss home I think of them," she smiled. 'Woah that was close,' she thought to herself trying to avoid a direct answer to that question.

"Oh, Sora, Riku and Kairi?" she asked looking up at the ceiling. "Well they got older. All of them became masters. Sora and Kairi even got married I believe. I don't know where they are now, since the darkness took the island. I hope they are okay," she smiled looking at him.

"It was nice," she said walking up the steps. "The ocean was bluer then anything! the sand was soft the poapu trees and palm trees were always alive," she started recalling memories of their old home. "We lived on the main island next door to each other, and we would swim to the other island every morning," she started laughing. "I remember, this one time you tried showing off by doing the obsitcal course on the other side of the play island and right when you were getting of the zipline thing you fell into the ocean," she smiled. "But you were okay, you kept telling everyone else that you meant to do it."

"Yeah, the faster we do this, the faster you can remember," she said stepping on the first step. The steps sounded brittle. "Guys be careful, they may look new but I guess no one has used this place for a while just watch where you are stepping and don't stomp," she said trying to make sure no one got hurt.
