Spring Waltz: Chapter 11

Alright analysis for chapter 11. Get ready folks it's a big one!

So Namine and Xion finally arrive at their destination. I think for this small part it's interesting to note how Namine still gets surprised by everything of the upper class.

Then comes the conversation with Roxas and Mama Roxas. She totally tries to play it off as being the innocent type and the doting mother but Roxas is so used to her antics he see's right through her. I think it's creepy to note that even though he warns her and is being all serious, she isn't fazed by it one bit. Makes you think just how cynical and powerful this woman can be.

At the end she does break the facade a little in telling how Roxas needs to drop Namine but I love how Roxas retaliates in his dialogue with her. After he leaves in enters Xemnas. Note how the mother states that he had been keeping tabs on Ventus. And now she's sending someone to watch over Roxas. She sure likes to be in the know!

It's interesting to see the similiarities between Roxas and Xion in this next part just because of their pacing and lack of being able to notice anything around them. However Xion is working hard to locate Roxas for Namine, although that hasn't been working to well. Just like how Zexion noted in the previous chapter on how they are good at hiding.

And of course Xion has to go to work but sends Namine with her bodyguard to go shopping. Roxas's treat of course.

So what does she do? What any girl would do while in a foreign country! Shop around and take in the sites of this brand new place. Of course she still misses Roxas to the point where she thinks she's delusional. But she does see him and even finds herself running to see him.

Remember how I said I liked to mess around with foreshadowing in the first few chapters? Here we go with foreshadowing number one! In chapter 4 Kairi states “I thought they were identical? You’re so weird. How would you know if both were standing side by side. You could run up to hug one and it’d be the other. Also, an identical twin doesn’t mean identical personalities you know.”

BAM! Namine, thinking he was Roxas, ran up and hugged Ventus instead! Jeez the poor shock the girl had. And the one to point it out? Aqua~ Yay, I'm glad I could include her in this story!

Ventus notes that she looks familiar but says nothing more because of Aqua.

Namine heads off and get's ready to have a worldly cake meeting of course. However we won't be seeing the details of this meeting until the next chapter~

Then it goes to Ventus who is visiting Roxas. It's interesting to note he already knows of one of the 'spies' of his mothers. The one today? Is Xigbar! Woot! Another organization member. He totally fits the bill too don't you think? Him being a sniper type in the game it's like he can 'track' anyone down pretty easily.

Then Ven goes up to meet Roxas. Here we learn Ven is all happy on his own over there with a wife, being Aqua, and is expecting a kid. Yay! Congratz to him.

Here's where the bombshell comes in.

Ven tells him how he met a girl that looked a lot like Roxas used to date. What!?

Roxas realizes automatically it's Namine and him and Axel's suggestions show they were not expecting that in any way or form at all.

So what is she doing here? That's where the org. members back at home come in. I just wanted to include them in again xD

But so details are given and they stay on the line to hear the explanation Roxas gives Ventus.

ANOTHER FORESHADOWING MOMENT!

In chapter 5 Selphie says "Naminé that little gift of yours, I swear someday it’ll turn on you!" & "Oh come on. You have an uncanny ability of taking bits and pieces of different memories and constructing it into your own little story so we believe as you please."

It kind of did turn on her as Roxas uses a somewhat similar tactic that made it easier for him to convince her the next time they'd meet that it was Ventus she had dated all along and not him. When in reality Roxas was the one she dated all along and he just wanted a second chance with her. Not very much to Ven's liking since there he was across the world not knowing that someone wasn't exactly liking him too much.

Of course this secret is only revealed to the org. members, Ven, and you of course the readers. Oh it's also something I'd like to add on how I mentioned Axel was the type of guy that seemed to know more then he let on. He was well aware of Roxas's secret before the other org. members. Thus would explain the little advice he gives to Namine. It pays a bit being one of your boss's best friend huh?

So we know what's going on Roxas's side but how is that going to work with Namine. Then again the girl has no idea. Let's leave it that way for now as we move on...

...back to Mama Roxas. Xigbar comes back noting it was easy to place the listening device on Ven. Which he had actually done this when he was removing the so called 'lint' on him. Then the mother's all too eerie tone of happiness is a bit irksome and we're left off with wondering what in the world she has planned.

So there you have it! A lot was revealed in this chapter, but there are still things more to come! Please note you guys are free to comment if anything still needs to be cleared up!

I'd also like to remind you that chapter 12 will be the last chapter in the first installment of Spring Waltz. Part two will start with chapter 13 and I already have the mini gifts prepared for the second part of the story. Hope you guys enjoyed!
