Sleeping Amongst Wildflowers

The worlds were closed off, with only the light able to travel between worlds. With Xehanort gone, Kingdom Hearts is safe, and the keybladers of light turned into masters and mentors, what could possibly happen to anyone? Darkness no longer had a hold on a keyblader, and never would for a long time. Or so, everyone thought.

Countless stars twinkled and glittered across the vast royal blue sky. A teenage girl, named Asha, laughed brightly at the boy, named Clover, sitting beside her on the cliff-side. Clover's face and ears were beat red, and he was clutching to a necklace that Asha had just given him. The pendant was, an ocean blue gem, cut in the shape of a heart, with the outlines embroidered in gold. Asha had pecked the side of Clover's face with a kiss, and shown him her matching necklace, only her pendant was a red color.

"I've been keeping these on the coat hook next to my front door, until I was able to find proper chains for them." She explained beaming at him. "The chains they came with were rather flimsy, and it wouldn't be good if they broke when we are in battle. I wanted us to have something to share, and for us to have something that reminded us of each other no matter where we are. It really made my days better when I had them to look at beside each other."

"That's so adorable." Clover didn't let her finish and wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. Asha hugged him around the waist, and they both hummed for a brief moment, content with each others company. "Thank you so much. You don't know how happy this makes me." He chirped after they had watched the stars and lightning bugs for a moment.

"It makes me really happy too. I really wanted to do something for you, since you are also so nice to me." Her face shined with happiness as they both put their necklaces on.

The wind graced them with it's presence at last on that warm night. Asha's long, half curly, dark purple hair blew away from her mid-back briefly. She touched a hand up to one her golden star earrings and looked at Clover with bright hazel eyes. He took her free slender hand in his and intertwined their fingers before bringing them up to his mouth, and kissing her hand. Giggling, Asha took her hand off her earring and leaned in close to him. She rubbed his royal blue hair that matched the sky, with her now free hand, before kissing him, and becoming embarrassed herself. Flush in the face they both looked away from each other still holding one another's hand tightly.

A booming laugh nearly echoed across the cliff-side. Asha looked curiously at Clover, whom was smiling looking up at the sky.

"You know, if it wasn't for you, I don't think I ever would have been able to pick myself off of the dark path I was on, and become worthy enough for the keyblade." There was a slight pause as he tried to articulate himself.

"You are a perfect little angel, I'm sure you would have been chosen by the keyblade anyways." She grinned at him with a sly look in her eyes. He gave the smallest laugh before looking at her with a serious face.

"Compared to you, yes I am."

"Oh?" Her face tried to show fake insulted but she was too happy to act well enough to trick anyone. "Yes, I suppose so." She flicked her free hand off to the side away from them and held a dark orb that wisp-ed upwards seemingly on it's own. He nodded and looked away, before summoning a keyblade in his free hand. Fireflies around them blinked in response to the light of the keyblade, and some even flew to sit upon it. It was a soft cream color with a piano keyboard for the blade.

"And if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be ready for the Mark of Mastery exam tomorrow." Clover finished, and Asha allowed her orb to evaporate away. She leaned on him with a slight frown and put her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah..." She remarked quietly, knowing she used her darkness to train him into being a strong warrior, and used her light to help guide him away from despair. "You'll do just fine."

It was a bright summer day, and fluffy white clouds slowly moved across the soft azure sky. The keyblade masters had chosen this particular day to do a Mark of Mastery exam on all their pupils. They were all to meet at Disney castle, and start the exam within the throne room. It was decided as the best place, as the cornerstone of light would protect them from any darkness that may try and mess up the exam, as had happened back when Terra and Aqua took their exam. If anyone were to use darkness, it would be clear on who's darkness it actually was.

All the keyblade masters had opened the lanes between the day before and gathered to meet each other to discuss many things, and to have a happy reunion. The masters at the castle were, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lea, and King Mickey, and there would be 4 pupils there today for the exam. All of the pupils had two masters instead of a singular one. Clover himself had Ventus and Sora as his mentors. Their easy going nature made it easy for Clover to sneak away a lot, and get into trouble.

Two of the pupils were waiting in the courtyard of Land of Departure's castle so they could all go to Disney castle together. One was a short girl named Plum, whom had very short but neatly styled mint green hair, and dark chocolate eyes, that hid behind rather large glasses. The other was a teenaged boy a tad shorter then Clover named Basil. Basil had thick layered medium length pink hair, that had neatly pinned braids on either side of his head to keep his hair out of his face. His constant training showed, as his muscles were one of his dominate features. Plum shyly waved, and Basil stood rigid and waiting as Clover and Asha ran their way into the courtyard holding hands. Asha held Clover's hand tightly as the other two greeted them.

"About time." Basil said shortly and tapped his foot slightly.

"Sorry have you been waiting long?" Clover said quickly while trying to cover up his need for air.

"Not really." Plum stated softly. "Rose left first thing this morning without all of us. So it's just us three." She informed him.

"Right." Clover said while nodding, and all three hit the left pauldron armor they had on. A magic white light briefly glowed over the three keybladers and once dispersed they had on their intricate keyblade armor (each matching the color of their hair mixed with neutral colors of silver, white and black) that would protect them from any darkness when traveling in the lanes between worlds. Plum and Basil both quickly summoned their Gliders and floated above. Clover took a moment and looked at Asha, his face hidden behind the full helmet.

"I'll be back tomorrow," He started, but Asha didn't let him finish as she threw her arms around him and hugged his neck.

"I'll send you all my love and strength today, and I'll be right here to welcome you back, keyblade master or not." She said lovingly, and smiled before breaking away. He nodded, and with a light heart, summoned his glider.

"I love you." He said and flew off with the other two without awaiting an answer, knowing she loved him too.
