Hey guys, I'm back! Thank you all so much for reading, especially to Gry17, Guest, Boo's Castle and SoulNinjas for reviewing/following/favoring along with all 38 readers! I'm very excited to continue this and yes Guest, Shaylee will be making it to KH1 and through all of the other games! And she'll have a big role and be young, around the main characters' age. How you ask? You'll just have to wait and see.

Shaylee: Oh I hate suspence!

Me: Well, you actually know what's going to happen! You CAN'T hate my suspence.

Shaylee: (sticks tongue out at me) I still don't like it.

Me: You CAN'T! (whispering: Just so you guys know, Shay will not be this imature the whole series.)

Shaylee: I heard that!

Me: (ignoring her) Enjoy! (smiles while Shaylee glares)

Terra, Aqua and Ven sat on a cliff, watching the stars when a star shot by and Shaylee suddenly appeared beside Ven in a star of her own. Music could be heard. There was a new scene, showing armoured shoes stepping towards four Keyblades in a dusty ground. Aqua turned to Ven and Shaylee and said something. Ven nodded in agreement and Shaylee smiled. The scene changed to show four pairs of people standing with their Keyblades in hand. As the scene returned to the cliff, it began to flash between Terra there and in his armour in the dusty scenery before it stopped on an armoured him.

Oh!

The scene went black for a second as that word was sung before the beat picked up and the scene showed Terra running forward in his armour towards two people, one an old man and the other a boy. Just as he was about to attack the man, he raised his arm and the ground rose. Quickly, Terra jumped on and looked up as another strip of the ground rose. The scene changed to show Aqua turning around in front of a stain glass window.

Na na na!

The scene shifted slightly to show Terra, bending over and breathing heavily before he charged at Aqua and she at him. As they locked blades, the voice sang,

You're giving me too many things

The scene shifted to a completely white background and showed Shaylee. Her dark brown hair was in a single braid and she wore a white three quarter length sleeve shirt that showed her shoulders, dark purple shorts that fold at the waist, forming a utility pocket at the front and a short duster at the back extending to her heels, appearing as a skirt, and black leather boots. She had two pieces of white armour on her sleeves and two dark purple strips crossed on her chest, the Mark of Mastery in the center of the x. Unity of Hearts was in her right hand, which was the only hand with a white fingerless glove on it the other having a silver bracelet on her wrist, and she was staring at it as it glowed black at Way to Dawn's hilt, white at Destiny's Embrace's body and orange at Kingdom Key's teeth. Her face was confused and in awe at the same time. She looked up and smiled as Ven approached her. He smiled at her when suddenly he turned around. Xehanort entered along with a masked boy. As they stepped forward, Xehanort vanished, as did Shaylee who was calling out and reaching for Ven as she did.

Lately, you're all I need

The masked boy stretched his hand out to Ven. Ven looked up and the boy suddenly shot forward, as if he was absorbing Ven.

You smiled at me and said,

Ven stood in darkness, holding a glowing orb, staring at it. If you looked closely, one could see Shaylee's face smiling in it but it vanished as Ven sadly dropped it. As it fell, it became a glass star with the Mark of Mastery in the center and landed in Aqua's hand.

Don't get me wrong I love you

Aqua's hand then became four, specifically Terra, Ven and Shaylee, each of them holding a different color glass star. Terra's was orange, Ven's green and Shaylee's purple.

But does that mean I have to meet your father?

The hands then showed the four, standing in a square and the stars glowed in their hands before flying up in the air, revealing them standing at a crossroads, each facing a different path.

When we are older you'll understand

What I meant when I said "No

I don't think life is quite that simple"

The stars transformed into stain glass showing Aurora on Terra's orange one, Snow White on Ven's green one, Cinderella on Aqua's blue one and Kairi on Shaylee's purple one. The glasses then became part of a keychain attached to Star Seeker.

When you walk away

You don't hear me say please

Oh baby, don't go

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go

Xehanort was suddenly shown hitting a charging Ven with Blizzard. Ven was knocked back and his arm was covered in ice. He stared at it when he stopped and his helmet was grabbed by Xehanort, who broke said helmet. Terra, who was a short distance away, looked up at the struggling Ven and evily smirking Xehanort. The scene changed to show a helmet free Aqua standing up only for the background to turn white. Her expression turned shocked as Terra walked past her and her hand rose to her heart. One of Ven's ocean blue eyes was showing through his broken helmet and he stared down at Shaylee and Aqua before Xehanort cast Blizzard on him and froze him.

Hold me

Whatever lies beyond this morning

Is a little later on

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all

Nothing's like before

The scene then showed Terra running through a white hallway, darkness following him before it flipped, showing Ven running through cinematic like scenes showing several different people with fire chasing him before it engulfed him. The scene then changed to Aqua holding her heart in the white background and Shaylee walking up to her and placing a hand on her shoulder.

Hold me

Whatever lies beyond this morning

Is a little later on

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all

Nothing's like before

The scene then faded to show Aqua and Shaylee, their helmets off, and holding a forzen Ven. Shaylee had tears running down her cheeks as the frozen boy's eyes darted across the girls' faces. Xehanort was shown then with a purple orb of darkness in his hand that shot up to the sky only to reveal a blue heart shaped moon. 'Kingdom Hearts.' Shaylee mouthed as Terra, who was kneeling on the ground, ripped off his helmet and stared up. His royal blue eyes suddenly turned gold as his face was zoomed in on.

Oh!

Terra was suddenly falling into darkness, Keyblades around him. As he fell, he transformed into Aqua, whose eyes were closed until she approached a stain glass showing Ven, Shaylee laying on it, her eyes closed. As Aqua continued to fall, she stared at it when Kingdom Key and Soul Eater crashed into the glass, missing the eyes closed Shaylee, and broke the glass, revealing Ven. He fell down while Shaylee floated in the darkness, Kingdom Key and Soul Eater around her. Ven was suddenly falling into the sky and began to glow white before he became a star and shot down towards an ocean. As he disappeared from view, two young boys were seen on the beach, watching the stars. At the last beat of the song, there was a flash, showing Shaylee staring out a star shaped window, holding her purple glass star in her right hand as she stared at the sky, her eyes sad.

Shaylee woke with a start, crying out. Once she realized she was in her room on the Land of Departure, she relaxed and wiped her forehead. She knew the dream meant something. It was the freaking opening sequence of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep! It had to mean something! The brunette suddenly gasped as it hit her. The game was starting. Shaylee suddenly heard footsteps in the hallway. Quickly, the pale girl lied down and pretended to sleep. There was a knock on her door but when she didn't answer, the door was opened and the next thing she knew, she was being shaked.

"Shaylee! Shay! Come on, wake up!" Shaylee slowly opened her eyes to see none other than Ven above her.

"Ven?" She whispered, her voice raspy with sleep, "What's going on?"

"There's a meteor shower tonight, come on!" The blonde grinned. During the three months Shaylee had been there, the four had grown very close. Aqua was like Shaylee's older sister, Terra, her older brother, Aqua had even theorized they really were but of course, she was wrong. But, Ven and Shaylee had grown the closest. Shaylee would be lying if she said she didn't have feelings for Ven that leaned away from friendship and more towards...romance. Aqua was constantly teasing Shaylee about it as did Terra. Ven, however, remained obvious. And Shaylee hoped to keep it that way. She knew what was going to happen and she didn't want her heart to be broken in the 12 year wait for Sora and Riku to save him along with Terra and Aqua. It would be ten times worse when Roxas came into play as well and she didn't want to expierience that kind of heartbreak yet. She was only 16 for Pete's sake! Shaylee smiled at Ven and followed him outside. She was dressed exactly the same as in her dream. She had chosen her shorts as a tribute to Tifa, one of her favorite characters in the Final Fantasy series, which she had also played before she came here. Ven was ahead of her, running eagerly before he turned back and called, "Come on, Shay!" The trio had taken to calling the newest addition to their group Shay for fun.

"I'm coming, Ven! Calm down!" She laughed as she followed him to the cliff.

"Wow!" Ven gasped as they reached the cliff, looking younger then he was.

"It's amazing!" Shaylee added, her eyes showing her awe. Ven smiled at her and the two sat down, Ven laying on his back, his hands behind his head, while Shaylee just stared up, craning her neck.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Ven asked, curiously.

"Nah, I'm used to this." Shaylee admitted, "I used to look up at the ceiling of my room where I had glow in the dark stars."

"You were afraid of the dark?" Ven asked.

"No, I just liked them." Shaylee smiled at him softly, which he returned with one of his own. As Ven's gaze returned to the sky, he asked,

"Why does this seem so...familiar?" He looked at Shaylee for an answer. The brunette shrugged,

"Don't ask me, they never explained and even if they did, I couldn't tell you." Ven chuckled lightly,

"I know." As the two continued to stare at the sky, Ven eventually fell asleep. Shaylee looked at him and giggled at his peaceful face. She looked up as Aqua approached and waved her over. Grinning, Aqua ran over and stood over Ven, waiting for him to wake. When he did, he sat up, staring at the sky before yawning, laying back down only for Aqua to be above him. "Whoa!" He cried as the two girls laughed. "Give me a break, Aqua!" The boy said before adding, "You too, Shay!"

"Ven! You hopeless sleepyhead!" Aqua cried, "You know, you should've at least brought a blanket. I expected that from you at least, Shay."

"But...did I dream that place up?" Ven asked himself, looking down, "It really felt like I'd been there before, looking up at the stars." Aqua reached out and ruffled Ven's spikes and he snapped out of his reverie as Aqua chuckled,

"'Cept you've always lived here with us."

"Yeah." Ven nodded, "I know."

"Hey, don't be sad." Shaylee said, knudging her friend, "We can still look at the stars." Ven grinned at her and the three made their way to the cliff, sitting on it, with Ven being seated between Aqua and Shaylee, and looking up.

"Hey Aqua." Ven said.

"Hmm?" The bluenette asked.

"You ever wonder what stars are?" The blonde continued, "Where light comes from?"

"Hmm, well they say-" Aqua started.

"That every star up there is another world." Terra answered as he joined his friends.

"Huh?" Ven asked.

"Terra." The girls greeted.

"You sure are up late." Shaylee teased. Terra chuckled but continued,

"Yep, to the worlds not you Shay." Shaylee laughed at that. "Hard to believe there are so many worlds out there besides our own." As he walked towards the group, he continued, "The light is their hearts and it's shining down on us like a million lanterns." Ven's eyes were wide and awe was written all over his face.

"That's a lot of worlds." Shaylee mused, looking back at the stars.

"What?" Ven gasped, "I don't get it."

"In other words, they're just like you, Ven." Terra explained.

"What does that mean?" Ven asked as he stood and walked towards Terra, Shaylee and Aqua staring at the two.

"You'll find out some day, I'm sure." Terra reassured.

"I wanna know now!" Ven cried.

"You're too young to know now." Terra argued.

"Quit treating me like a kid!" Ven cried. Shaylee and Aqua shared a look before they began to laugh.

"Hey, what're you laughing at?" Terra asked.

"We can't help it." Shaylee smiled.

"You two would make the weirdest brothers." Aqua lamenated before the girls began to laugh again.

"Huh?" The boys said in unison, causing the girls to laugh harder before the boys eventually joined in.

As the four stared at the stars, Ven and Terra on one side, Shaylee and Aqua on the other, they were silent until Aqua stood.

"Oh yeah, Terra, you and I have our Mark of Mastery exams tomorrow." She said as she walked a small ways away. She reached into her pocket and took out four necklaces with glass stars on the end. "I made us all good luck charms." She explained as she threw an orange one at Terra once he stood.

"Whoa." Ven gasped.

"Never thought'd I'd ever really see these up close." Shaylee whispered.

"Here." Aqua said as she threw a green one at Ven and a purple one at Shaylee.

"We get one too?" Ven asked.

"Of course." Aqua smiled, holding her's in the center. Ven, Terra and Shaylee followed, forming a square. "One for each of us."

"Yeah." Ven said.

"They're beautiful, Aqua." Shaylee smiled.

"Thanks." Aqua smiled, "Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star shaped fruit and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You will always find your way back to each other. Technically...I think you're supposed to make them from seashells but I did the best with what I had."

"They're really beautiful." Shaylee smiled as she slipped her own Wayfinder around her neck, staring at the star in admiration.

"Boy, sometimes you two are such girls." Terra said.

"Hey! What do you mean sometimes?" The two girls snapped in unison.

"So this isn't a real good luck charm?" Ven asked sadly.

"Well, that's yet to be seen." Aqua said, "But I did work a little magic on it."

"Really? What?" Ven asked.

"An unbreakable connection." Aqua and Shaylee answered in unison before Aqua held her Wayfinder towards the sky.

"You knew she was going to say that." Terra teased Shaylee. The pale girl blushed.

"It's one of my favorite lines." She admitted and the four chuckled.

"Hey, we're gonna head back." Terra said later.

"Yeah. Me too." Ven nodded and followed the older Keyblade wielders when all three noticed Shaylee wasn't with them. "Shay?" Ven called.

"You coming?" Terra finished.

"In a little bit." Shaylee answered. The trio walked away. Aqua paused for a moment. She was holding her own Wayfinder and staring at the stars. Her hands tightened on it and she said,

"Together. Always." Once they were gone, Shaylee held her Wayfinder up from where it rested near her stomach and whispered,

"It's starting." She blinked away the tears forming in her eyes. She had grown very close with the trio and didn't want to lose them but she couldn't change the story. They would be rescued by Sora and Riku in 12 years time and she would help them. She just hoped she would be able to survive losing them.

That would be the last night we ever spent under the same stars.

Meanwhile, in the Mysterious Tower, Mickey Mouse was forced to surf on a spell book as he had accidently flooded the room. Suddenly, the water and book vanished and the mouse fell to the floor. He stood in front of Yen Sid as he said,

"Mickey, I cannot shake the feeling something terrible is about to transpire." Mickey cocked his head to the side and said,

"Hmm?" Meanwhile, outside, four stars began to twinkle in the sky.

I knew it was time for the game to start. I just hoped I could come out of it with my heart not broken. But...I couldn't deny that I was falling for Ven but...I really didn't want to. I didn't want to be hurt for 12 years, no matter how much my heart wanted Ven. But I also knew I couldn't get my heart back. Ven has unknowingly claimed it as his but I wouldn't tell him. I couldn't or my heart wouldn't survive the 12 years without him. Problem is...I lost to my heart before I even started fighting.

Well, there's the chapter! Hope you guys like it! I wanted to include the opening so I decided for each game's beginning, Shaylee would dream of the opening with herself included so she knows when everything starts. I also hope you guys liked the quote at the end. And at the beginning when Shaylee's Wayfinder becomes Kairi's heart station it's the one described in my story All the Pieces, the complete one in chapter 16: Aqua's Return. If anyone would like to do a cover for this story, I'd love to use it!

Shaylee: Please leave a review for Wolfie and she'll update extrememly soon! See you later!

Me: Not again! What is it with these people stealing my line?!
