I KNOW THIS LOOKS LONG, BUT PLEASE AT LEAST GLANCE THIS THROUGH!

Hello, this is Rose, here, and I need to give you a little warning! And, since I tend to ramble…be prepared…

This story is…Well, it's a bridge story, and, impossible as it is…Without it, I couldn't move the plot of 'Taking Chances' along.

You are GOING to get confused at one point, or scream, 'YOU IDIOT, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!' and kill your computer. Rose is going to turn out to be a TOTAL Mary Sue in this story. I'm expecting mostly flames for this story. Also, I've already been told that there's too much detail…And if you end up understanding it, it's only BECAUSE there's so much needless detail…

But, please, if you gave an OUNCE of admiration to 'I'll Never Be Enough', then I can guarantee that, as much as you may come to hate this story, in the end, you'll realize I needed it to move the plot of the series along.

I kinda hate it/love it, so…^^ WHATEVER. I just wanted to warn you that this fanfiction MAY turn out to be a complete train-wreck…

Continuing on, these are basically my own theories for Kingdom Hearts in general, which crosses over into several other series to make this possible…But, since it's Kingdom Hearts, and they already cross over into other series, I thought it would be acceptable…And, honestly, I needed to write them all down for MYSELF, and, despite how length it is, this is how I wanted the sequel to go. I won't change it, I won't shorten it, I'm just going to post it, and like it or not, here it is.

I've explained all I can, I've toned it down to the best of my ability, and I have given this hours of thought.

One last note; I had limited knowledge of 'Chain of Memories' and '358/2' when I started this, so, if some of the information is off, know that it's because of that…Plus, this was almost all planned out before I even got INTO either of those games.

So, without further ado, I give you, 'Second Chance.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters mentioned. Square Enix owns them.

However, I do own 'Second Chance', 'I'll Never Be Enough', plus all the OCs in 'I'll Never Be Enough', and they cannot be used without my permission.

Second Chance

A Cat's Eye Fanfiction Inc. Production

The dedication contained a spoiler, so it will not be shown.

Prologue: Knowledge

And that's what everyone believed.

He was dead. He was gone. He would never come back.

The moment they saw him, lying there, completely frozen on screen, they thought they knew. They thought that they knew he'd never breathe again. Eternity would pass, and nothing would change. The Fearless Psychic was dead. Number 14 was dead.

As, one by one, they slowly passed onto the next life; they thought that their brains had obtained the final wisdom. The last piece of information that would ever truly matter. Especially to the Key and to the Schemer. With his disappearance, and the fact that they saw with their own two eyes that he'd never return, two teenagers had thought that nothing else mattered. Surviving through another day was the only thing to look forward to; to LIVE for one who was dead. To continue on, despite having so many secrets to share, and despite having lost someone they deeply cared about.

All because he was gone forever.

Slowly, little by little, they all lost their color. The walls turned white, and items reminding them of the Psychic were pushed away, locked up to never return to. The hardened remainders of the once-proud groups did what they could to get by.

And, eventually, they were all gone. Every single one of them, lost to the darkness. An entire Organization, destroyed by misery, loss, betrayal, love, anger, and a maddening suffering that had caused their entire beings to change.

As the darkness surrounded each of them, their current knowledge was that the swirling blacks and indigos meant that they would become deceased as well, never to return to the waking world. Their lives were over from the moment they had first died. Their lives had been over since their heart was stolen. And, at that moment, within death, they came to the conclusion that they perceived everything.

But they were wrong.

UG! I KNOW! WAITING FOR A MONTH AND ALL I GIVE YOU IS A SHORT PROLOUGE!

DON'T KILL ME!

…The reality of it, is, I haven't gotten much done for either of the projects I swore I'd finish before I posted this, so I kinda let myself down…And updates won't be until every two week, because I still want to get them done…

BUT when they are done, updates should go to the entire 'one-week-wait' thing!

…So, yeah. This was basically for the warning, and the intro. Interpret it as you wish.
