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.

"You were?" Roxas thought for a second and arrived at the only logical conclusion. "I guess you wanna get ice cream together, huh?"

[chainedpromises]

Namine nodded, "I was." She concluded. Upon hearing his question she took a minute to think before nodding once more, "Maybe in a second, I have something to give you first."

[coolerthansora]

"You do?" He hadn't expected anyone to really remember, but at that remark he finally ventured, "You mean like a present?"

[chainedpromises]

"Of course it's a present." She said, her smile widening. From behind her back she pulled out what she had been hiding. It was wrapped nicely with a little bow on top, and in it contained a painting of their little group (Roxas, Axel, Sora, Kairi and herself) that she had done. "Happy Birthday Roxas. Sorry it's a little late though." She said, handing him the present.

"That's okay," he said, shaking his head as he accepted the gift. "I would've had a hard time opening it on my birthday." Considering he hadn't had any hands at the time.

He opens the box to reveal the painting, and a smile spreads across his face. "It's all of us..."

[chainedpromises]

She nods, placing her hands behind her back once more, "I know when we first met you and your friends wanted to go to the beach. And I know we've had plenty of fun on the one here, so I drew all of us."

Though she knew Kairi wasn't here anymore, but she supposed it was the sentiment that mattered.

[coolerthansora]

"Yeah..." He liked that they had made those memories together, and he liked having something to remind him. A part of him was always worried about forgetting, and he treasured all these little mementos that told him who his friends were and how much they cared.

"Thanks, Namine. I never got a picture with all of us."
