Let This Be a Sign

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, its characters or storyline. This thing is mine. It's my first time doing a timed challenge like this, so please bear with me. I only gave myself the time it took to listen to the song Journey to the Past, from Anastasia, to write this. This is a teaser-esque bit for a full length story I'm planning called As the Sun Sets on Mushroom Clouds. Enjoy!

It had been a long flight, but as the door to the Gummi Ship opened, she knew it was worth it.
Stepping out onto the cool concrete of the hangar, she inhaled deeply and a smile spread across her face. Radiant Garden had changed in a lot of ways, but it still smelled like home.
Shouldering her bag, she crossed the hangar with the group of new arrivals. She had been dreaming about this for years. He had to be here. She had looked everywhere else.
The suburbs of Radiant Garden looked largely different, but her eyes caught on the old residential district where she used to live. It was almost gone, only a few of the older, stronger buildings remaining. The war had wiped out everything else. Her old home was gone. So was his.
She walked with quick steps to the main town area. The marketplace was busy, bustling, and absolutely brilliant. She immediately saw the massive skyscraper that dominated the downtown area. That was definitely new. If there was any place to resume her search, that was the place to do it.
Picking her pace, she reached the top of the small hill leading into the downtown zone of old Radiant Garden. Memories flooded her and she lifted her arms victoriously. Everything looked so warm and familiar. She wouldn't rest until she found him. Now she was that much closer to being complete. Because when she found him, she'd truly be home again.
"At last." She declared aloud.
The wind whipped past her, fluttering through her clothes and making the painted wings on the back of her jacket flap, like an angel's.
