Chapter 3: Sea Salt Ice Cream

Synopsis
While talking towards the Usual Spot, Roxas spends his time trying to summon back the Keyblade using a Wooden Stick. He gives up and throws it away, causing it to accidently hit a man in a black cloak. He apologies as the man walks away.

Roxas meets up with his friends, who give him an ice block. The quartet speak of their future, and how they won't be like this forever. Hayner suggests that they all go to the beach that day to create new memories of their teenage hood. Of course there was a problem: they all didn't have enough munny. Of course, Hayner is so determined to get to the beach, that he heads into town and gives everybody a job. Their job is to put posters of the Struggle Tournament all over town.

DiZ, on the other hand, refuses to allow Roxas and his friends to leave town. He informs his apprentice over the phone to stop them at all costs, and also not to get too attached to Roxas.

The quartet soon have enough munny to board the train and visit the beach. Olette hands Roxas her pouch and they soon notice the train pulling into the station. But then Roxas trips on a stick, and is held up by a man in a black coat, who only has a few lines to say before disappearing: "Can you feel Sora?"

Roxas rejoins his friends in the station, but find out that he's been robbed. Roxas tries to go after the man, but there was a problem: none of his friends saw the man. The train leaves without them. They head towards the clock tower with some ice cream, with Roxas still lamenting on the loss of the pouch. As everyone watches the sunset, Roxas recalls the four words that the black thief spoke, and then...

"Sora, since I started dreaming about you, all sorts of things have been happening. Who are you?"

Back at the computer lab, the apprentice asks about the status of Organization XIII. "They have been quiet" says DiZ. "They're probably waiting for us to make a move. Regardless, Naminé must make haste." We then cut to a girl overlooking a pod. She only says one line: "Sora"

"Meet at the station. Today's the day we go to the beach- and don't sweet it about the munny." - Hayner

It turns out Hayner got the 5,000 munny from his uncle, and Pence and Olette are all geared up and ready to head for the beach. Suddenly, time freezes for both of them. A girl appears and tells Roxas to head for the mansion for something he wants to know. Time then unfreezes and Roxas dashes after the girl, confusing Pence and Olette.
