A/N: This is my newest story and I hope everyone likes it! I don't own anything of the Kingdom Keepers, only the OC. Please review and tell me what you thought. Thank you!


For two months they had slept in peace, returned to their somewhat normal lives, and only talked to each other on VMK; rarely in person. But as Finn Whitman looked around at his surroundings, he knew exactly where he was and how he got there, even though minutes before he had fallen asleep in his bed. Finn smiled to himself.

He was back.

Finn started to walk towards the center of the park—the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. In the dim lights of the stars and the moon, Finn also saw the glowing blueish light of the other four DHIs. They were all looking around, wondering why it had been now that they had crossed over. With a sharp ring of bells, they were all about to find out.

"What did you say?" Charlene called out suddenly.

There was a pause. "No one said anything," Finn replied, looking around carefully.

"Someone said, 'over here,'" she insisted.

"The only thing I heard were bells," Maybeck stepped closer, looking doubtful. The bells rang out again and Charlene giggled.

"Where is that coming from?" Philby sounded utterly confused. He wasn't a person to not know things.

"I know what that is!" Willa suddenly said excitedly. All of their glowing heads turned towards her in anticipation.

"It's Tinker Bell."

An unfamiliar sigh was emitted. Finn desperately tried to locate the sigh.

"Nice guess. Normally people never figure it out. But you five are different than normal people, aren't you?" A voice Finn could not rightly place in his mind spoke up. The voice was one of a girl's and had a slight Southern accent. But why was she here, how did she get here, and where exactly was she? The bells rang out again.

"It's no use, Tink, only one of them can hear you. Again, we're over here. Towards Tomorrowland?" the girl offered and everyone immediately turned that way. Finn noticed then that her soft, innocent voice never changed its tone or volume.

The girl was there, leaning against the rope that closed off Tomorrowland. There were several things that struck Finn odd about this girl. One, the miniature Tinker Bell was balanced gracefully on her shoulder, whispering into the girl's ear. Two, she had at least six inches of silver bangles hanging on each arm, a silver streak about three inches wide in her dirty blonde hair, and a large heart necklace hung around her neck. But third, and most of all:

She was a hologram too.

The girl however, looked more like just an image than a human, unlike the five DHIs. She looked electronic and flickered every once and a while.

"Who are you?" Maybeck asked the question that was running through all of their minds. The girl merely shook her head.

"You'll learn my name in due time. It isn't important right now. What is important is your next mission. More Overtakers are threatening the park. Three of them."

"And, of course, we're the only ones that can do anything about it, right?" Finn quipped sarcastically.

"Right." The girl either didn't notice Finn's sarcasm or she had ignored it.

"How do we know we can trust you?" Charlene asked bitterly. An explosion of bells erupted from Tink and Charlene, surprised, took several steps away. The girl had not changed her innocent, sweet expression.

"I can't force you to trust me. Wayne sent me here, if that helps. Tinker Bell is my friend, if that helps. And I'm here to help you."

Her pure, unchanging tone began to change their minds a bit. They wanted to know more.

"Okay, then," Finn spoke for the group, after silence had settled upon them for a few moments. "What do we have to do?"

The girl smiled. Her job was done. Immediately, she continued to tell them what was threatening the beloved Disney realm.

"What the Overtakers seek is something that cannot be found anywhere else, something Walt hid in his own stories for their protection. The Heart of Fate, which has been split up and protected by the Eight Princesses of Heart. The Overtakers want to connect these hearts to control the fate of the world." She paused, looking at each one of their reactions. Charlene and Maybeck both looked slightly doubtful, but extremely intrigued. Willa and Philby both had their eyebrows knitted, trying to figure out the logic in the story. Finn sat there, not really sure what to think. The nameless girl pursed her lips, forming a tight grin, and continued.

"Since Walt has died, the Imagineers placed the Eight Pieces of the Heart into something that related to each Princess."

She briefly grasped the large heart on her necklace, but quickly let go and began again.

"You have to find them. Tomorrow, meet me right here and we'll begin."

"And you're not going to tell us anything until then, are you?" Finn asked, again being sarcastic. The girl merely shook her head, again ignoring or not realizing his sarcasm.

"I will tell you one thing. Remember the moon."

Her grey eyes flashed and her head turned to the half moon in the sky as she pulled the button to send them back out of her pocket.

"See you tomorrow."

Finn awoke in his bed and shot his gaze towards the window. There, high in the dark navy blue sky was perched a silvery half moon. Tomorrow night.

He would be there.

Looking towards his clock, he saw that it was still early in the morning. Not wanting to cross back over, Finn crept out of bed and onto his computer. Turning it on, he let the white light burn into his eyes. He thought back to the girl who had told them everything. The only thing Finn was unsure about was the girl herself. She had not even told them her name or anything about herself, only to claim that she was helping them. It sort of reminded him of Amanda…

But everything was reminding him of Amanda these days. She had returned to school a week after Maleficent had been captured along with her twin, now known as Jess, not Jez anymore. Amanda seemed more normal, happier… herself. And Finn was beginning to like that more and more.

He wanted to talk to the other DHIs and listen to what they had thought. He mindlessly logged onto VMK, not realizing that it was supposed to be closed right now. Half asleep, he did not notice when he easily appeared in his own room and smiled when everyone was already there.

philitup: did anyone else notice that VMK closes at ten?

Angelface 13: but we all logged in just fine.

Finn's mind awoke. VMK was supposed to be closed now…

Finn: something's different

willatree: something's different

mybest: something's different

Finn stared at the screen. He, Maybeck, and Willa had all responded the exact same thing at the exact same time.

Angelface 13: maybe it has something to with that girl

Charlene didn't need to explain anymore than just that. The screen flickered and froze and Finn had to wait a few extra seconds to get his response in.

mybest: you got that right. that girl seemed off to me

philitup: she wouldn't tell us anything about herself, only tried to make us believe that she was on our side

willatree: she was just trying to help though. i'm going back tomorrow

Finn: she seemed so mysterious. but i'm going back tomorrow too

Angelface 13: you sure have a thing for mysterious girls, don't you Finn?

Finn glared at the screen.

Finn: what is that supposed to mean?

Charlene never had the chance to answer, even though Finn knew perfectly well what it meant. The screen flashed a bright white, burning Finn's eyes so that he was momentarily blinded. Blinking, Finn read the message that had appeared on the screen:

VMK is now closing at this time. It will reopen at 7:00.

Finn furrowed his eyebrows. Had someone hacked into VMK… just for them? Only the next night would tell.
