A/N: Here I am, kicking off the companion piece to Wrecked on Pop-Tarts and Sex. This is my take on Wishing-Fire's 100 Theme Challenge, which will be a series of 100 word drabbles all centered around one character, in this case that character being Xion. As with Wrecked on Pop-Tarts and Sex, this story will be taking place within the AU universe of An Enchanted Moment. All scenes and situations within are tastes of the full story that's to be expanded in AEM. So if this Xion intrigues you, and by the end of this story you wish for more—never fear! The full chaptered story will eventually be accessible for your viewing pleasure. And for any curious readers of Wrecked on Pop-Tarts and Sex—yes, you will be getting more of Xion's side of that story than I was able to convey there.

Note that I will also be eventually posting a third AEM drabble series, entitled Beats in Time, which will be a response to Reku14's 100 Theme Challenge. Beats in Time will encompass much more of the AEM universe than either Wrecked on Pop-Tarts and Sex or Mangoes and Limes, because the challenge rules won't limit me to one character. Beats in Time will also not be a direct companion in the way that the other two are, but they all take place within the same AU universe, AEM. So if you like, you can keep on the lookout for that.

As for how updates on this story are going to work, I have a few chapters already written, but I'm really busy at the moment, being that it's my last month of the school year. So for now, I'll try to at least update on Sundays, by the end of the week.

Forgive me for talking so much, and for the fact that my Author's Notes will probably always be longer than my actual chapters, but I can't help that when they're only drabbles. Please review! And if you have any questions pertaining to the AEM universe, feel free to ask!

Warnings: I cannot emphasize enough that this is AU. And perhaps beware of fluff overload.

Dedication: To my Aqua, Ghostwriter, because her favorite parts of Wrecked on Pop-Tarts and Sex were whenever Vanitas was mentioned.

Disclaimer: I am only going to post this once, so pay attention. I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Disney, 20th Century Fox, The Swan Princess, or anything recognizable that belongs to some franchise. The An Enchanted Moment AU universe was co-created by Ghost Writer no. 3 and myself, Kiryn, and the rest of the credit is then thirdly divided to owlpostagain, who is the official beta and who now takes part in the decision-making process and inspiring my writing (I'm the official writer of AEM). Note that both Ghostwriter and owlpostagain will at least have read this over before I post it. The title is taken from the song "It Had To Be You" by Motion City Soundtrack. The challenge is Wishing-Fire's creation.

Mangoes and Limes

Prompt 1: Introduction

Vanitas had never been one prone to tears. He just didn't cry, and if there had been a few occasions when there was an overabundance of salt water in his eyes, the recollections were shoved into a conveniently forgotten corner of his mind.

And if there was now a slight itching sensation at the corners of his eyes, it was just tiredness.

The bundle in his arms was quiet, and he could barely grasp that it was a she, a tiny, breathing person. His daughter.

"Hello…Xion. I'm your daddy." And the words most certainly did not hitch in his throat.
