Hey guys this is my 2nd story! :) I thought I'd try a multi chapter. Yes, it is yet another one of my favorite pairings, Zaqua :D I loooooove them! This story is kind of like Prince of Persia/Aladdin meets Kingdom Hearts.
DISCLAMIER: I DO NOT OWN KINGDOM HEARTS OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS.
I DO OWN KING KYLE AND QUEEN ISABELLA THOUGH :D
Zack's POV
My stomach grumbled as I surveyed the different food stands around the small bazaar. I jumped from rooftop to rooftop, trying to keep my hood up and my cloak out of the way. I held my hood in place to hide my spiky black hair and bright blue eyes. I stopped and jumped down from the roof to the ground using the tiny window ledges. I snuck behind the fruit stand and began to reach for an apple. A sudden loud trumpet made me snap my hand back. I shot a glare down the dusty road at the sound. But my glare melted into a smile as I saw who came down the street. It was the queen, Queen Isabella, and her husband, King Kyle. The king had blonde hair and greenish eyes. He was strict, but kind-hearted. His wife had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes like mine. She was very sweet, but also very strong at heart. As they rode on horses, a little girl walked with them. She was about my age, 11. It was Princess Aqua. She was beautiful. She had cerulean blue hair, shoulder length, and ocean blue eyes. Aqua wore a small silver tiara on her head.
I took a step closer to watch. But in the process, I kicked a small pebble and, with my luck, it tumbled right in front of Princess Aqua. She noticed and looked my way. I quickly dashed behind the cart into an alley. She looked up at her parents, who had stopped to chat with some of the villagers, and ran off in my direction. I had my back to her when she called out to me.
"Hey! Who's there?" I froze. What was a peasant, like me, supposed to say to the princess, a girl who I have a horrible crush on? She stepped closer to me. Aqua came around to face me. I could only stand there as she pulled my hood back, revealing my face.
"Who are you?" She asked with curiosity. I suddenly found my voice.
"Z-Zack."
"Hi Zack! I'm Aqua." She smiled warmly at me.
"Ye-yeah. I know."
"Are you okay?" A look of worry came over her face.
"Yeah," I responded dryly. "I guess I'm just surprised to be talking to you."
"Oh. Because I'm the princess?" I nodded. "Well it's not all that great or exciting. You have to do exactly what you're told. I don't have any freedom. Everything is decided for me. You're so lucky. You're free to do whatever you want to." I smiled at this and looked up at her.
"Well at least you-" A loud yell interrupted my comeback.
"Aqua!"
"That's my dad. I need to go. But I really enjoyed talking to you. Maybe we could talk again some other time? How about tonight, midnight, here?" She almost sounded like she was pleading.
"Uhhh, sure."
"Great! See you then. Coming dad!" She smiled and ran off. I stood there for a while with my mouth open, not really knowing what to think. I snapped out of my trance and yanked my hood back over my head. I wandered out back to the fruit stand and stole the apple. It was going well until-
"Thief!" The merchant turned to face me. I turned around and started to run, but was stopped when the merchant grabbed my hood.
"Zack, my boy, where do you think you're going with that apple?"
"Uh, putting it back?" I gave a slight grin.
"Zack, we both know that you were going to steal it. You've kept this up long enough. I'm taking you to the palace guards. This is the 3rd time you've tried to steal from me today." I suddenly broke loose from his grasp and into a run. I ran off with the apple.
"Zack Fair! Get back here! Dammit!" I ran laughing. I dodged people left and right. I jumped on the window ledge and up to the rooftop. This was my rooftop. It had a mat, a pillow, and a small table. I plopped down on the mat and looked out at the view of the town as the sun set. My thoughts wandered from subject to subject as I finished the apple. When I finished, I stood up and threw the apple as far as I could. Then I jumped off the roof to get to the spot where I was to meet up with Princess Aqua again.
Chappie one :) Two is on the way!
