-1Now for the first part of Normal as Possible!

Now this one shot was suggested by String-home of Tolea.

Takes place on the small island, with the main character of this story, Tom, and co-star, Riku.

Differences

The day was ending. It was sunset.

On the dock was Tom, who was lying down, using his trench coat as a pillow.

Things had been well for Tom since he lived on the islands.

He now had a nice home, friends and other things.

Although he still had a tendency to steal things, kleptomania they called it, but he was dealing with it. And getting great results too!

Not to long ago a girl named Tanith, whom he knew from Radiant Garden, came to live on the islands.

He then realized he was surrounded by couples. There was Sora and Kairi, Roxas and Namine, and Riku and Tanith. Well he wasn't sure if he could consider them, even though they openly knew they loved each other, they were not as affectionate as the other two pairs.

Flashback. . .

Riku walked through the mall. It was then that a soda spilled on top of his head. Then a cup, then Tanith jumped down from the upper levels and on him, knocking him down. She then got up, crouched down, gave a quick kiss atop the head, then kicked him before she ran off.

"Bye Freak-u!" she called back using her nickname for him.

End flashback. . .

Tom sighed. He had the oddest friends. He then heard foot steps.

"Hey Tom," he knew the voice to be Riku.

"Riku." Tom said. Tom then felt something light hit his chest. He opened his eyes and saw what appeared to be a cell phone on his chest. "Wha's this eh?" Tom, then in one fluid moment he grabbed the phone, stood up, grabbed his coat and slipped it on his shoulders like a cape.

"Cell phone." Riku said.

"Really? Why thank you Riku, I don't think I'd be able to ever figure this out on me own. I thank you with all me 'eart!" Tom smirked. "So why'd you give it to me?"

"Kairi told me to." Riku replied.

"Why? Who's is it?"

"A friend of hers, Jessica I think, lost it. Kairi would like you to return it to her."

"Why? I mean she's perfectly capable of returning a phone, right?" realization dawned. "She's not trying to set me up again is she?"

"Sadly for you, I think she is."

"Did she ever do this to you?"

"No."

"Oh, that's right. You were such the ladies man before Tanith showed up. Anyway, why is it that she keeps attempting to mess with me social life, Riku?" he slightly slumped.

"I don't know, I mean your perfectly capable of getting a date by yourself." then a thought occurred to Riku. "Wait, you ARE, the girls in school fall head over heels for that stupid accent, and besides a few dates earlier you refuse them all. Why?"

Tom looked solemn.

"People look at us you know." he said turning to the ocean.

"What?"

"Me, you, Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Namine and Tanith. They stare at us. Because we are much too different."

"What do you mean different?" Tom then turned to Riku.

"Please Riku! You can turn yer shadow into a physical manifestation. I can expel thousands of volts of electricity from me 'ands! Sora and Roxas each, if they wanted to could destroy this world. Kairi was one of the primary reason the 'eartless destroyed the islands in the first place. Namine can manipulate memories and Tanith-"

"I know about her. And I accept that."

"Yeah, the rest of the islands may not know that bit about her, but she 'as something to do with us. So they assume she's trouble. They are right on this though. She's bloody mad."

"Wait, so what's your point?"

"We Riku, are freaks!"

"We're not freak,"

"Man yer blind, where 'ave you been for the past several years? Since the day we were born, to the day we die. We were, are and always be freaks."

"I guess your right."

"That's why I tend to avoid people. They think I'm a freak. You guys are different, you each found someone. I on the other hand, may not be so lucky. The odd attract the odd they say." he turned back to the sea. He then raised his hand and let electricity flow between his fingers. "It's passed in ye know."

"What?"

"This mutant gene thing. Me father 'ad it, 'is mother and so on. Although it vastly differs from generation. I've actually wondered about that kind of thing. I mean, what sort of abilities will my descendants develop? I've actually also wondered about yours and the others."

"Wait, what!?" Riku was caught off guard by this.

"I wonder 'ow they might be affected."

"What are you talking about?"

"You mean you've never considered that after all that you've been through, it might not affect those we bring into the future?"

Riku was silenced by this. No he had never gave things such thought. He had never considered what side affects their children might have due to their journeys.

"What's any of this have to do with what are original conversation?" Riku said still thinking about what Tom said.

"You know what," he said as he turned back. "I'm not entirely sure. I'm just getting things off me chest. Now what were we talking about? Something in the news was it?"

Riku shook his head.

"I don't know anymore." he then walked away.

Tom then looked at the phone. He knew this girl, she lived not to far from where he lived.

"I don't know either." he was about to call back to Riku, so he could give it to her.

But-

He remembered Roxas. Tom was able to convince him to take a chance with Namine.

Why don't I take a chance? he thought.

He slipped the phone in his pocket and teleported away.

That's one for Tom! Any more idea for him for the mall? School? What about the other six?

I'll take any suggestion I like!
