(Second date thread of Sorin and Audrey) The carnival was already in full swing as the crowds of people were having fun at the various rides and games as Sorin waited for Audrey. After the decision in Halloween Town, a place like this seemed perfect. The chance of something like a Heartless attack was fairly low and the fact that it was a carnival just made it seem like the perfect place for a date. A date. Sorin blushed a little at the thought of it as this was something that could be considered a date. If he was to be honest with himself, Sorin would rather take the Heartless than the date. At least he knew how to deal with Heartless. He did like Audrey. She was cute, funny and had this strength to her that Sorin did find rather attractive. Now if he could only figure out if he really was that attracted to Audrey or not. The swordsman shook his head. The whole point of this was to figure out if they wanted to be in a relationship or not. So they could just go and have some fun for a few hours. Not worrying about fighting or anything else. Hopefully. |

Sorin wouldn’t have to wait for long, as Audrey appeared from the Save Point nearby. The sight of the carnival had her eyes wide in awe; the last time she’d been to a place like this was...well, the Lakeside Amusement Park, and considering where that got her… Of course, that wasn’t to say that this place was completely innocent. If she remembered, this island was cursed to transform boys who “make jackasses out of themselves” (or “jackamules” going by Kingdom Hearts’ censorship) into donkeys. However, there didn’t seem to be any worry for that, as everyone here seemed to be having the time of their lives. Maybe once the world awoke from sleep, the curse was lifted? Maybe the result of the Convergence messed with the world laws? She didn’t know. At the moment, as she made her way to the swordsman, she started singing to herself. A song that was perfect for the occasion. ”Once upon a night we'll wake To the carnival of life The beauty of this ride ahead Such an incredible high...” She just couldn’t help herself there. |

Sorin watched as Audrey appeared. She obviously looked like she was excited to be here which was good. It'd be pretty bad if one of them wasn't going to have fun at a carnival. As she walked towards him she seemed to start singing to herself. Sorin managed to hear some of it and she had a rather nice singing voice. "Hey. So what do you want to do first? Any rides you want to go on or do you want to get some food or play some games?" Sorin offered. He knew that carnivals could be rather expensive back in the Realm of Reality but it wasn't an issue here so he was able to do whatever they wanted today. "It's been a while since I've been to a real carnival too. I mean I went some amusement parks but I'm talking like Six Flags and places like that. I think I was a kid the last time I went to a carnival like this." Sorin added. |

As she stopped by the swordsman, Audrey gave him a wide smile, her hands behind her back. Small issues back in Christmas Town notwithstanding, she was feeling much more comfortable around him, not as likely to delve into her typical stuttering and repetitive gestures as she used to. Though most of it seemed to be her excitement over visiting a carnival, it was a nice change of pace otherwise. "Oh god, I have no idea. There's so much to do here; I dunno where to start!" She gave a half-twirl then, almost as if she were a Disney princess. She almost wanted to start dragging Sorin to the first place she spotted, but held back the urge to. Instead, as she looked around a little more, a realization hit her as she lowered her head, the cheerfulness dropping a little. "You know...this might sound embarrassing, but...I used to be afraid of roller coasters. Didn't like how the sharp turns or going down at super fast speeds felt. But...with everything that's happened, I wanna try giving it another shot, see if I feel any different now." |

Sorin had to admit to himself that Audrey had a nice smile. It was nice to see her smiling like this too so he wanted to make this a day of fun. "Sure that's no problem. It's not something to be embarrassed about either. Roller coasters aren't for everyone." Sorin said as he started to look around at the roller coasters. There were a few of them just from where they were standing but only one of them seemed to be mild. All the rest had loops or some crazy turns. Best to start Audrey off with a fairly normal one and then move to the more extreme rides if she decides if she likes them. "How about that one? It doesn't look like it has a long line either." Sorin added as he noticed the line wasn't too bad from what he could see. Liens were always an issue at carnivals and amusement parks and thankfully this one didn't seem too crowded. |

"Sure, that seems like a good starter," Audrey said, though still sounded nervous. Even a tame roller coaster could've had some swerves that made her feel like she was falling. But, since she had fallen many times before, and was still considering using her powers for flight, she just had to suck it up and get on the ride. She faced much worse before, after all... ~*~*~ Several roller coasters and one pendulum ride later... "THAT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!' To say Audrey had a complete 180 in her view on roller coasters and other extreme rides would be an understatement. Where she had been scared before, now the feeling of the adrenaline rush was exhilirating. She just kept dragging Sorin to the next ride before the two finally decided to take a breather. At the moment, the two were sitting together on a bench, Audrey happily eating some cotton candy. It was nice to have some fun for once, not having to worry about the next big threat in the worlds or trying to get better at fighting. Just being a girl and doing things any girl would was a nice change of pace. "This has probably been the most fun I've had in my life," she said with a bright smile. "Well...maybe not as fun as crashing a party...or sneaking into a highly guarded museum, but it's probably up there somewhere." |

Well things turned out much better than expected. After the first ride Audrey wanted to go one more coasters and pulled Sorin into the pendulum ride. Considering how nervous she was at the start, to see how much she was enjoying herself and the rides, made Sorin believe he made the right choice in picking to come here. "Glad to see that you are having a good time." Sorin said as he took a sip of his soda. Honestly he was having a great time as well. Going to places like this seemed to be so much more enjoyable now that he had someone to go on rides with him. Still when Audrey mentioned the other places she went to, he had to do his best not to react. Sorin really hadn't spent much time outside of the Kingdom Hearts worlds, mostly trying to train himself up as much as he could. Audrey and the others like her had some incredible powers but with only Magigiri he started from back behind them all. It wasn't fair to them or to Audrey to get jealous at them as this whole thing just seemed to be a random quirk of fate but Sorin couldn't deny feeling unexceptional compared to everyone else. It also wasn't fair to Audrey to bring her down when the two of them were supposed to be having fun. "So you want to play some games before grabbing some lunch?" The swordsman asked. |

Though Sorin did a good job not giving a reaction to her adventures prior, it was that lack of a reaction that Audrey caught onto, already getting the idea that she said the wrong thing. However, she chose not to bring it up, instead answering his question with a smile while tossing aside the cone that held her cotton candy, "Sure! I bet I can kick your ass at the bottle-toppling one!" Once more, she began dragging Sorin towards the stand that had that particular game, her giddy childish act continuing on. That was, until they were part of the way there, her skipping slowing down into a normal walk. It was that moment that she decided to bite back on the cheerfulness, instead looking to the swordsman with a hint of concern. "Sorin...you know you can talk to me about what's bothering you, right?" she brought up then. "I mean, I know we're supposed to have fun and all, but it's like I said before: you can't just keep whatever issues you have bottled up. So...just let me know what's up, okay?" That moment would come later, however, as the two reached the stand. As Audrey asked the host for a game, she was handed two balls and told whoever knocked the most bottles down would win the prize. With a wide smile, she turned to Sorin and handed a ball over. "Gentlemen first." |

Sorin followed after Audrey as they went toward one of the games. At least until Audrey asked about how he was feeling. He sighed as he knew that she had a point and even with his inexperience in a relationship, he still knew that communication was important. "I guess I am just...I don't know. I guess I am jealous of you and the others. You have such incredible abilities and powers. Yet all I have is Magigiri. The sword is amazing but it's limited by me. I don't have the abilities or training everyone else has so I feel like I have to train and work to catch up to everyone." Sorin said the words just not stopping once he started. Still they made it to the booth and took the ball. They were still on a date after all so they can work out things later. He tossed the ball up slightly before turning to her. "Just to let you know I don't have much of a throwing arm. I'd rather not to let go of things." He said and with that he threw the ball and managed to knock down four bottles. |

While they would have to work out Sorin's inadequacy issues later, Audrey already had an idea to help him feel better. She didn't have much of a good throwing arm either, but she knew where to hit when she was focused. However, for the sake of cheering up her friend, she decided to purposefully suck. So she threw the ball...off to the side, away from the bottles completely. She put on a fake look of embarrassment, looking down sheepishly. "Oops." Though the host handed them a few more balls, he made a comment at Audrey's expense, "Guess you oughtta let your boyfriend here do all the throwing, sweetie." The comment made Audrey blush, looking down further to hide it. Hopefully Sorin wouldn't be too embarrassed himself. |

Now Sorin wasn't exactly an ace baseball pitcher but even he could tell that Audrey missed on purpose. He knew that she was trying to cheer him up and honestly, it worked a bit. Though the comment from the host made him blush slightly as well. The guy wasn't exactly wrong as the two of them are on a date but it was nothing official just yet. Still he idly thought how cute Audrey looked when she was blushing. Sorin tossed the ball into the air a couple times before he threw it. This time it managed to hit the mark and knocked down the rest of the bottles. "Here you go." The host said as he handed a normal sized plush bear to Sorin. "I think this is the part where I am supposed to give this to you but I'm not exactly sure." Sorin said, smiling slightly as he offered it to Audrey. |

"Well, you're the one who won it, so you could keep it..." Audrey remarked as she took the bear. "Though you probably wouldn't wanna be seen walking around with a teddy bear." After playing a couple more games (Audrey playing fairly this time around and winning one on her own), the two sat down on a bench, having gotten some lunch. The dream-wielder had a hot dog, some nachos, and a soda with her, the first already halfway eaten. Though otherwise having a good time, Audrey knew they had to sort out Sorin's issues sooner or later. So, with a sigh, she set her food aside and spoke up. "Hey Sorin, about what you said earlier...you know you don't have to feel jealous, right? To be honest, those adventures I had...they're not really all that I made them sound like. I mean...I had to face some tough decisions..." She wasn't going to mention the fact that she framed a nobleman for murder-suicide over a decision she wasn't happy with. "Also...I think this might have to do with my powers, but...I've been getting these weird dreams lately..." |

When the two sat down to eat, Sorin went for a couple slices of pizza and a soda. They ate in silence until Audrey spoke up. Sorin listened to Audrey and knew that she had a point but it was difficult to just let go of how he was feeling. "I know. There are probably a lot of awful worlds out there that no one should have to go to. Yet I think the main thing is that I feel like I am going to be left behind. That I can't catch up to everyone and will have to stay back and be protected. These worlds despite all the dangers have so many things I want to see and do but I feel like if I am not strong enough I won't be able to." Sorin said once again letting out how he felt in front of Audrey. She really seemed to be able to do that to him easily. "What kind of dreams?" Sorin asked when Audrey brought up her dreams. She was doing a lot to help him so the least he could do is try to be there for her with regards to these dreams. |

"To be honest? I know the feeling," Audrey said, looking up to the night sky. "I mean, I've been through these worlds, but they're games I don't know about. I still haven't gone to Nippon or the world of Baten Kaitos, even though I want to so bad. I feel like I'm spending my time trying to get better at what I do now and going through these dangerous worlds than going where I want to go, doing what I want to do. You know what I'm saying?" And then he asked her about her dreams. Since the swordsman had been here, opening up to her about his feelings, it felt fair to let him in as well. "Well...I dunno if this is the case, but I think I've been dreaming of new releases, or something. I mean, they're not all bad; like, I've been dreaming new songs my favorite band released. Though I'm kinda sad they got a new singer, but I like some of these songs. Weaving my wings from many-colored yarns, flying higher, higher, higher..." She quickly stopped as she realized she was going off then. "Sorry. A-Anyway...there's that, and some new games, and well...that's where it starts getting scary." She looked down as she started to explain, "There's one that I dreamt recently. I was running from these...things...though I don't think I should've been. They were super fast and almost caught up to me, but then I tripped and fell down a hole. Then I was greeted by something with a smiley face that seemed friendly, but then his face turned all scary and he tried to kill me." She shook her head to all this. "I mean, I dunno what any of this means. For all I know, it could just be a metaphor for what I went through in Silent Hill or something like that. It's just...weird that I'm the one getting these dreams, and I don't think anyone else is, so I think it might have to do with my powers. I just don't know why I'm getting them all of a sudden when I didn't before..." |

It felt nice, knowing that Audrey understood how he felt. How he was spending all the time just trying to get better, stronger and not being able to go see the worlds that they want to. The dreams that Audrey brought up were interesting. The thing about her favorite band was something he would need to keep in mind to ask about later. The idea that Audrey was dreaming about new games that came out and that meant there were new world possibly showing up. Unfortunately from what Audrey said, the dreams were vague and didn't really give enough information about what those worlds would be. "Well you have powers over dreams right? It is likely that your powers are starting to show you new worlds as they might be dangerous. Like some kind of precognition." Sorin offered as an explanation. |

"So in other words, they're telling me to watch out for tall freaky things that move super fast and anything with smiley faces. Okay, I can get behind that." Joking aside, it did make a little sense, Audrey thought. Other than her power over dreams, there was also considering her connection with Alessa, who also had the ability to see the future in visions. Maybe this was a little something left over from that, though it made her wonder if she was also experiencing the same thing. She didn't think too much on this, however, figuring it would be something to worry about later. They weren't here to mull over this sort of stuff. "Whatever it is, I'll probably figure it out some other time." She got up from the bench on that note, picking up her food as she did so. "Still, thanks Sorin. You know, for opening up and all. I like you better when you talk more." |

"Well they should be pretty recognizable if you ever see them." Sorin said with a small smile as he glanced over at her. It was something that they would need to look for later but that was for another day. Today was a day for them to relax and get to know each other better. Still when Audrey said that she liked it when he talked, Sorin could feel his face heat up a bit. It was really something that no one had ever said about him. Especially since Sorin had never been much of a talker. "It's no problem Audrey. I guess if we are going to see if this is going to work then we should talk to each other. So don't forget that you can talk to me too." Sorin said a bit awkwardly. |

"Don't I always? I mean, you hear more about me; I'm just glad I got to hear more from you." Though she didn't catch the blush, Audrey could hear in Sorin's tone that he was a little embarrassed by what she said. It was kind of cute, she thought; she kind of liked it when he wasn't being that stoic cool guy. She almost wanted to tease him about it, but decided against it. "I had a good time though, Sorin. Why don't we go somewhere a bit more relaxing? Kinda worn down from all the excitement here." |
