Another summer ended, another birthday spent in the wrong body. At least he was around friends this time, although he's not sure if any of them remembered. He might have forgotten himself if certain people didn't keep reminding him of his age.

Rationally, it doesn't seem like the time to celebrate anyway. The curse proved that the order to terminate the experiment hasn't gotten through yet, but how long is that going to last? He should be trying to think of a way to fight back or escape.

But it's only the second birthday he's ever had. Shouldn't he get to celebrate a little bit?

Roxas can be found hanging around the vicinity of the ice cream shop in indecision. Maybe he can just call some friends up for an ice cream party. Do people do ice cream parties? If not, it should totally be a thing.

Comments

"Well, I like being your big brother for now. Maybe after a few years we can swap."

He flung his free arm around Sora and nodded towards the nearby shop. "You wanna get some ice cream?"

[runbysmiles]

"Sure thing!" Sora moved forward, easily stepping with Roxas towards the ice cream shop. He was already thinking about what flavor he'd get.

[coolerthansora]

Roxas wasn't thinking about flavors, because in his mind there was really only one. But as they approached the counter he realized this might not actually be the case for Sora, and he stopped himself before just ordering two of the same for them.

"What flavor are you getting?"

[runbysmiles]

"Mmm..." There were so many to choose from, but... "I guess sea-salt!"

Sora grinned. There was just something about sharing that particular kind of ice cream with Roxas that made it more special.

[coolerthansora]

Roxas grinned back at him. Not that there was really a wrong answer when it came to ice cream, but that was definitely the right one.

He turned back to the lady behind the counter. "Two sea-salt ice creams please!"

[runbysmiles]

Sora watched as the two scoops were rolled up and placed on their cones. He reached over for both, handing one to Roxas.

"Best kind of ice cream right?" Sora grinned as he took the first lick. "Mm! Sweet!"

[coolerthansora]

"It might as well be the only kind," Roxas said, taking his cone and turning to lead the way back outside. He hadn't tried very many other flavors, but he was sure it was the best.

[runbysmiles]

Sora laughed as they headed out. Sora had had his fair share, but overall he had to agree that sea-salt was a pretty good choice.

"I'm still surprised they had it here!"

[coolerthansora]

"Really? I'd be surprised if a place in the middle of the ocean didn't have sea-salt."

They were literally surrounded by the flavor's key ingredient, after all.

[runbysmiles]

"Yeah, but I lived on an island and we never had this stuff." He'd never tried it until Radiant Garden actually.

[coolerthansora]

Huh. Roxas had never thought of that.

"You don't think maybe they had it and you just never tried it?"

[runbysmiles]

"I don't think so. I don't remember ever seeing it."

Sora was pretty sure anyway.

[coolerthansora]

"Well, when you get home, you'll have to tell them about it."

Hopefully he would remember to even if he didn't remember Vatheon, because he'd had it other places.

[runbysmiles]

Sora nodded.

"You bet! This should be shared with all worlds!" Sora held up the ice cream till the light shining into the bubble illuminated it like a halo.

[coolerthansora]

Roxas laughed at the way he said it and gave him a nudge. "There's your new mission after you've saved everybody, huh?"
