Author's Note: I try to keep my chapters to be 1000 words per chapter, but I feel chapter 2 was better off short. I may or may not rewrite the chapter later on.


A pair of 7 year olds look at their new surroundings. They don't know how they got here but they knew they needed to get out. It was a scary place, empty, eerily quiet, and with a starless sky. However, they spotted a glowing castle ahead. Maybe someone would be there!

When they got to a bridge, they did find someone, but not in the way they wanted. It was an unconscious woman at the edge of the broken bridge and a couple of heartless surrounding her.

The little girl trembles, hiding behind her brother.

The little boy glares. "Go wake that lady up." He says "I'll distract them." He grabs a bunch of rocks from the ground and start throwing them at the heartless.

It grabs their attention and the creatures approach the boy. The boy runs backwards while throwing the rocks at each of the heartless.

"Ma'am! Ma'am! Wake up!" The little girl shakes the woman. "Please wake up! My brother needs your help!"

"What?" The woman opens her blue eyes and stares at a familiar face. "Terra?" However, it was her mind deceiving her. When she came to her sense, she realized she was awakened by a little girl.

"Please help my brother!" The little girl cries.

The woman witnesses the heartless jumping on top of the little boy. She summons her key blade and got rid of them in one swoop.

The little boy smiles. "Thank you, ma'am!"

"LIDO!" The little girl hugs the boy. "I was so scared!"

"You big baby," He chuckles. "Have some have faith in me!"

"Lido?" The woman stares at the two children. Dark hair, blue eyes, one of them named Lido. "Little girl, by any chance is your name Ora?"

The little girl tilts her head. "How…..did you know that?"

"Women's intuition…." She kneels down to be on an eye to eye level with Ora and Lido. "How did you two get here?"

Lido shrugs. "I don't know. Mom told us to go to bed and then we ended up here."

"Are we in a dream? If this is a dream, why aren't we waking up?!" Ora cries. "I usually wake up when I figure out I'm in a dream…..I want to go home!"

The woman rubs Ora's head. "It's alright, no need to be afraid. I'll protect you and your brother. What's your mother's name?"

"Lova." Said Lido.

Aqua smiles, "I thought so. I'm an acquaintance of hers. My name is Aqua."

Suddenly, the twins disappeared in a burst of light. Aqua frowns. "Lido…..Ora….Were two really here? Or was that my mind playing tricks on me? I just hope that they're safe."
