To my readers that wanted the sequel! I thank you for sticking with me through my first KH story!

I know some people that stumble upon this may not want to go back to read the first story so I'll try my best to make it as less confusing as possible but there are still going to be things referenced in the past story. Although no matter how much I try…I think it'll still confuse people if you didn't read the first one…

Well since this story technically started on the last chapter of the story before this, I'll just do a short recap and do my best to avoid repeating to those that already know what happened.

Okay, my usual Disclaimer!

-I don't own Kingdom Hearts for obvious reasons or most, maybe even all, of the pairings in here would be canon!

-I don't own Roxel. Roxel belongs to Jack666rulez on Deviantart.

ONLY for this chapter: the bold is Roxas's thoughts.

"Axel, I cannot believe you let our son go even though you heard me say he couldn't!" Roxas argued while Axel just sighed and hit his head against the wall behind him.

He's been going out every week! More than once a week at that! How are you not worried?

"Roxas, the kid is 16! Cut him some slack!"

Roxas folded his arms and simply glared,

"Oh you mean like the one time you told him to: 'give him something he won't forget so you won't mess with you' and I worried about what our son could think of?"

"Yeah?" Axel raised a brow, "It worked. That bully stopped messing with him."

"Axel! The school was on fire!"

And we were lucky enough to get away with it.

"So? Now Roxel's got something to tell his kids about!"

Roxas groaned and resisted the urge to pull his hair out.

"That's it, I'm done!"

Do you not care? Have you EVER cared…?

"That's fine," Axel shrugged and walked off and Roxas watched him go,

"I can't believe how uncaring you are!"

"I care! What are you talking about?" the man asked as he went back to his couch and his beer.

"Ugh!" Roxas threw his arm up, giving up for the night…

I can't deal with this anymore…it's too much…I shouldn't of had let Naminé go home…

I need her support…

I need help…

He stomped up to the bedroom and groaned again when he sat on his bed and buried his head in his hands. Time passed, though Roxas was unsure how long…

He slowly lifted his head and stared at the dresser mirror where his reflection started back with those eyes…

As Roxas blinked and stared, he eventually looked away.

Hn…I thought we shouldn't be able to see my mako eyes anymore…

…

9:00 only? Oh well…I'm done…

No more Axel and no more Roxel…

He was done…He was done…at least for the night…unfortunately…

He was drowning…he couldn't breathe…Roxas gasped for breath and almost lost his balance upon feeling impact at his feet and gravity hit him. After blinking a few times he looked around to see his surroundings.

"My high school cafeteria…" It was exactly as he remembered it. Exactly. And he figured out why when he saw his light reflection in large windows: himself, 15 years-old, and in his favorite attire. Roxas smiled a bit, remembering that his most up and down year in his life was overall appreciated the most. He slowly turned around, wanting to explore his school again and at this height again. But when he did, he lightly gaped and took a couple steps back in surprise. His heart warmed up as he stared at the one person that changed his life forever.

"Sora?"

Oh my gosh…Sora…Sora! It's you! It's really you!

The boy that appeared suddenly in his life…only to disappear without a goodbye…Roxas wanted to run to him and give him a hug. He wanted to feel that sense of warmth, closeness, and a security again.

Sora smiled for Roxas but didn't respond. He merely turned and started to walk away.

"W-Wait! Sora!" Roxas didn't hesitate to follow.

Don't go, Sora! Don't leave me alone again…

You were my only true friend…

I need you more than ever now! Sora!

When Sora left, it almost broke his heart that he couldn't tell Sora the day he got the confidence to kiss Axel in front of the whole school, or the day he became captain of the Struggles team, or the time he lost his virginity…as private as that was, Sora was the one he thought of to tell that to…

As he ran, the scenery changed and Roxas found himself in the middle of a stone bridge near his house. He quickly spotted the brunette standing on the stone ledge and staring in the waters below.

"Sora!" he immediately cried and about to run towards him but his feet wouldn't move, as if they were glued to the ground the moment he paused to observe his surroundings. Sora looked over his shoulder and smiled for the blonde before disappearing into colored dust and diving into the waters. The moment he did, Roxas was finally released from the ground and he rushed over to look over the side. Sora wasn't anywhere in his sight but his eyes were trapped. It looked like a whirlpool but it played his everyday life…

A bratty teenage son, and spending his days with a lover that seems to have forgotten how to love…

Roxas's shoulders slumped as he stared at the cause of his miseries and frustrations in life.

"Do you wish to do it all over again?"

Roxas spun around to see Sora with hands in his pockets.

"What do you mean?" Roxas asked in a low voice.

"Do you wish to do it all over again?" Sora asked again with a serious stare, "Look at yourself. Don't you wish to go back? And make things right?"

Make things right? That question ran through Roxas's mind for a moment. He looked over his shoulder to look down at the waters again but he quickly returned his gaze at Sora.

"To be honest…not really."

Sora blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting that answer.

"I love my family…even if they don't appreciate me at all. Running away from the problem is not the answer…you taught me that, Sora. I will fix this…I'll find a way," Roxas explained his reasoning with a soft voice…and he knew what he spoke was the truth. He loves his family and he always will.

Sora…

You make me realize without even doing anything…

I'll fix this…but I want help. I want YOUR help. I NEED your help! I can't do this alone…

Why can't I say any of my thoughts now? Sora! Help me, please…

Tell me HOW to fix this…tell me what to do…guide me like you did before!

Sora gave him a few more confusing blinks before smiling warmly for him.

"You're really kind-hearted, Roxas, and deserve so much better. So I'm going to give you the break you deserve while punishing those that never deserved you…" Sora snapped his fingers and in almost an instant, everything started disappearing into dust. Roxas felt himself falling backwards and Sora looking down at him as he fell. The blonde reached his hand out to him, wanting to at least touch Sora, and he felt his throat become unstuck and he shouted for him.

"Sora wait! I missed you! I…Sora!"

A set of dying blue, almost gray, stormy eyes opened themselves up. He was surrounded in darkness but when he saw a set of spiky brown hair in front of him, he looked down to see himself...well sort of.

"Hello, Squall," Sora greeted with a bright smile, standing still that he was almost like a doll.

"…This is creepy as hell," was all Leon had to say.

"Oh right, I'm sorry! I was just inside your son's dreams so I took the form of someone he's really comfortable with," Sora apologized with a light laugh before his body flashed of light and in his place after the light disappeared was Merlin the magician.

"Ah…so I didn't dream Roxas's dream," Leon commented and folded his arms.

"I was actually going to pop right into your head right after I finished with Roxas, Mr. Leonhart, but you woke up right afterwards. Nice to see you fall back asleep fast though!"

"So what's going on here, exactly?" Leon asked and Merlin merely chuckled.

"Oh just having a little fun while helping out those in need!"

"Alright then…can you at least let me know before you use my old body?" Leon requested, as he was pretty sure he wasn't that wise-sounding when he was young…or even now.

"But of course, Mr. Leonhart…but I have not spoken to you since the day I cast the spell on you. How have you been for these past…oh what is it…?"

"Almost 20 years," Leon replied and looked up, despite he's still staring into darkness, "Almost 20 years…but my life couldn't of had been better. I never got the chance to thank you though. So thanks."

"No problem, at all, Squall Leonhart. I'm just glad everything worked out for you. And you have a wonderful son."

"I thank you…I hope what you did to him will work out in the end as well."

"Time will only tell…"

"What the HELL?"

Oh my god…What the hell does he want NOW?

Roxel quickly went into a series of curses and lots of cussing. Roxas slowly pushed himself off his stomach and looked at the digital clock to see 7:00 in the morning…

Oh no…I missed Axel and now-

The door slammed shut and Roxas lightly flinched.

Great…I didn't make breakfast for Roxel…boy am I gonna hear about this when he gets back…

The blonde sighed as he slowly sat up with his legs hanging off the bed and slipped off. Of course normally, he'd hit the ground in a millisecond so when he expected impact and it never came, his reflexes made him move when he shouldn't thus he hit the ground on his side after almost spraining his ankle.

"What the-?" Roxas lightly groaned when he pushed himself back into a stand only to almost fall again when he somehow stepped on his pants. He quickly caught himself with the bed's help; but that's when caught a sight of himself in the dresser mirror and also realizing the bed's height. His eyes widened as he tried to back himself up, his mouth dropped, and when he slapped himself once but the image didn't change, he shrieked and what scared him more was how much he sounded like a little girl.

"Oh my-OH SHIVA!" Roxas felt himself as he touched his face, his hair, and the rest of his body, "This can't be happening! This can't be-oh my god!"

He did the only thing he could do in this panicked state: "NAMINÉ!" shout for his twin sister for help.

Of course, said-person only came after Roxas decided to actually pick up the phone but was practically screaming for dear life…not that she took the sight any better when she arrived…

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Okay…so you had this dream…and poof! This happened?" Naminé asked and Roxas simply nodded, which he must've done for the umpteenth time. Naminé was pacing as Roxas sat with a blanket around him on the couch, "You know…the way you described the dream made Sora seemed like some guardian angel…oh my, maybe he was!"

Roxas didn't want to deny that…as Sora kind of was to him. Even so…

"Naminé! Focus! What am I supposed to do? I can't stay like this!" Roxas exclaimed, pointing at his body.

"Obviously…but, um, want to tell Dad and Otosan?" Naminé suggested and Roxas just completely went against the idea. Telling your parents your body decided to shrink you back into your old 15 year-old body? Yeah, if they wanted their first heart attacks, he'll gladly tell them! Until then, never gonna happen!

After the two figured out a story to tell Axel and Roxel, Naminé took her brother shopping for some clothes that fit him. They settled down in Naminé's house afterwards for some more planning and Roxas plopped down on the couch with Naminé sitting across from him. Now that she has the home advantage, she was able to convince Roxas to tell their parents…

"So they're coming?" Naminé asked after Cloud did an embarrassing goodbye. Roxas nodded as he handed the phone back to her. He went into deep thought…wondering what to do with his life. He's 15 again! He can…start over? Have fun? Roxas quickly stopped himself. He's not even sure how long this effect will last! So he can't do anything life changing or life-threatening for that matter…at that thought he just reminded himself that he now lacks the ability to drive…

Not only that…Roxas can't help but worry about his family, as in Axel and Roxel. Even if they believe the story himself and Naminé set up, will they be able to take care of themselves until Roxas changes back (whenever that will be)? But the boy suddenly grew scared: what if this is permanent? And he can't change back at all? Well he can start over for real this time but…he can't just throw what he had away! Right?

"Naminé…What would you if you were a teenager again?"

"Well…" she clasped her hands together, almost in excitement, "I'm not in a relationship right now but if I were in your case and found myself free for even a day from that? I'd grab some friends and have a girl's night out!"

"…And if I'm a boy?" Roxas asked, almost sarcastically.

"Grab some guy friends for a boy's night out!"

"Um…I'm 15 now?" Roxas felt stupid having to remind her.

"Well…we DO have younger brothers…" she casually tried to remind him.

"I don't want to babysit, Naminé! And you said 'friends' not family!"

"Hmm…" the blonde woman put a hand on her chin in thought, "Well I say going out with family is better than not at all. You can sit back, go play your old video games, go clubbing, go shopping, and go catch a movie you actually want to see. You have a ton of things to do!"

"…I guess I do…" Roxas slowly nodded as his eyes drifted to a calendar, "I guess…a day out to myself would be nice…"

To do something he wanted for once, to truly have a happy day just to himself, and have a day when he's single again and childless.

Late Afternoon:

When Roxel stepped into his house, later than he was supposed to but nothing new there, he strolled to the kitchen and opened the freezer for a bar of sea salt ice cream. He continued his usual routine as he stomped up the stairs, entered his bedroom, threw his backpack onto the bed, and hopped onto his laptop. While in the middle of signing into his instant messenger, he paused in his actions when realizing something is missing in his usual routine. While slowly eating his treat, he got up from his rolling chair and backtracked down the stairs and into the kitchen once more. He scanned the area and found what he was looking for on the kitchen table.

My dad's in the hospital, I'll be with him for a while. Please take care of yourselves, I love you both.

-Love Roxas

Roxel raised a brow before leaving it there for Axel to see.

"Who the hell is making my dinner then?" he asked out loud as he went back to his laptop after grabbing a second bar of sea salt ice cream.

Okay, I seriously had the hardest time opening this story. I tried like 3 different ways, it was ridiculous!

Well here's my chapter one!

Please read and review!
