Yo, boys and girls! Welcome back to the next chapter of Twilight Town's Wielder. I really need to focus on this story before I completely forget it and leave it unfinished – That is something I cannot abide.
Anyways, what happened last time – A girl from Twilight Town has just completed her Dive to the Heart dream sequence and is about to wake up in her bedroom only to realize that she is late for a meeting with her friends!
Also, I will be introducing an OC in this story – one suggested from FullmetalDeadman93 who is Olette's love interest – Nexus.
Anyways… let's just get started and move on with Chapter 2. I do not own Kingdom Hearts nor its characters.
Chapter 2 – Day 1 Begins – Running late!
"BEEP! BEEP!" – The sound of the alarm clock awoke the girl completely. She opened her eyes and found out that she was back in her cozy warm bed in her house wearing her pajamas – she was wearing a yellow tank top with a white flower in the middle and long green bottoms. She sighed in relief – what a weird dream! It was very strange – it almost looked real, but was it?
She shook her head and yawned like a lion, then she picked up the alarm clock from the bed drawer next to her and looked at the time – 10:30. She put it down and laid back in her bed, until…
"Wait, what!? 10:30!?" She shockingly said and looked at the clock again – It was indeed 10:30 in the morning! She's late for the meeting with her friends – Hayner is going to kill her this time!
"Olette, sweetie! Time to get up!" A female voice called out to the girl called Olette – this was the voice of her mother.
"Okay, Mom! I'll be down in 5 minutes!" Olette called out to her mother, got out of her bed and started getting herself ready.
A few minutes later, she came down the stairs fully dressed in her usual clothes and entered the kitchen.
She noticed that her mother Alice was busy cleaning the dishes as usual. Like her daughter, she had brown hair which was long, green eyes and soft peach-colored skin. However, her clothes were very different from Olette's style – she had a short sleeved white shirt, a pair of blue shorts, a white apron, some yellow gloves and a pair of light blue sandals.
"Morning, Mom." Olette said to her mother with a smile on her face. Alice turned around and looked at her daughter with a smile as well.
"Good morning to you too, Hun. Sit down and I'll serve you breakfast." The mother said to her and Olette nodded. She sat down on one of the kitchen chairs and waited for her breakfast.
After a few seconds, Alice served one of her daughter's favorite meal – a grilled cheese sandwich.
"Here, sweetheart. Your favorite meal – grilled cheese sandwich. Enjoy." Alice said with a smile on her face as she put the dish gently on the kitchen table.
"Hmmm! My favorite breakfast!" Olette said with a grin on her face as she started eating the sandwich.
Alice smiled at her daughter very happily. Sometimes, her little Olette made her feel so joyful and happy – after the death of her husband, she had almost given up living and considered committing suicide. However, she soon found a new reason to live – her daughter. Once Olette was born, she decided that she would protect her daughter no matter what.
"Oh, Olette! I forgot to ask you, but why did you overslept today? You usually get up at 8:00 in the morning, but not today. Why?" Alice asked her daughter very curiously.
Olette stopped eating and looked at her mother. "Well… I don't exactly know if you'll believe me, Mom. But… I had a weird dream." She said with a frown.
Alice sat down on the other kitchen table and looked at her with a worried look on her face. "Really? What was the dream about?" She asked her.
"Well… the first thing that happened was…" Olette said and then told her about dream that she had – how she ended on four different glass platforms, how she choose between three different weapons, how she answered three question to her friends on top of the town's clock tower and how she fought a giant monster.
"And that's about everything that happened. Strange, isn't it?" Olette asked her mother as she finished eating her sandwich.
"Yeah… Strange…" Alice said with a sad look on her face. It can't be… Not her… Not her darling Olette… She was still too young… too innocent to know the whole truth… Why now? Why?
In the meantime, Olette had completely eaten her entire meal and said. "Hey, Mom. I'm done with the sandwich. I'm going to put this in the sink." She said, as she got up from her chair and picked up her empty plate.
"No, sweetheart. Don't worry – I'll take care of that. Don't you have an appointment with your friends?" Alice said with a gentle smile and Olette's eyes widen. She forgot all about her friends!
"Oh, no! I forgot! Take the plate! I need to leave now!" Olette said with a worried look on her face, as she gave her mother the empty plate and immediately speeded out of the kitchen towards the front door.
"Bye, Mom!" Olette called out to her and then closed the front door leaving Alice all alone in the house.
"Bye, honey… Have fun…" Alice said with a small smile, but then it disappeared as she put the plate in sink and walked towards the living room.
She sat on the couch and then tears started coming out of her eyes. Alice placed her hands on her face and began to cry.
"No, please… Not my Olette… Please, not my baby girl… Don't let her become like her mother… A worthless failure of a Keyblade Master… Please… protect my daughter when her time comes… Don't let her become a failure like me… Please…" She prayed in a depressed broken tone as she cried some more whilst sitting on the couch.
Meanwhile with Olette…
Olette ran as fast as she could through the alleyways hoping to reach the usual spot where her three friends Roxas, Hayner and Pence were. She had only hoped that Hayner wouldn't be too mad with her for being so late – I mean, come on! This was Hayner – her best friend. He would never get mad at her.
After a long running, she had finally made to the place where the three boys were – The Usual Spot underneath her best friend house – Roxas.
"Hello? Is somebody in here?" Olette asked as she entered the small hideout.
"Well, well, well. There she is. About time, Olette." A familiar male voice said to her.
Olette looked to see a boy with brown eyes, light skin, dark eyebrows, spiky blond hair wearing camouflage capris pants, a grey, sleeveless vest, black muscle shirt decorated with white skulls and crossbones and shoes with the same camouflage pattern as his pants sitting in the back of the hideout on top of some kind of household appliance. She immediately knew who this was.
"Good morning to you, as well Hayner." Olette said to the boy called Hayner with a smile on her face. He got up and walked over to her with a frown on his face.
"You're late, Olette. I thought that you were always the punctual girl. Turns out… I was wrong!" Hayner pretended to be annoyed at her, while Olette just giggled at his fake outburst. Typical Hayner.
"Anyways… Where are Roxas and Pence?" Olette asked him.
"They are over at the Sandlot. Roxas wants to practice before the big match against Seifer on Monday. Wanna go and see how they are doing?" Hayner asked her and she nodded.
"Of course! Say, I have a little proposition for you? Do you want to hear it?" Olette asked him with a grin on her face.
"Okay, what is it?" Hayner asked her with a curious tone.
"I want to have a Struggle Bat Practice Spar with you. I want to prove to you that I can be as dirty as you boys. What do you say?" Olette asked him, but he became shocked at her proposal.
"Olette… No, I can't accept that… First of all, you are a girl and I don't hit cute girls. Second, you haven't played Struggle at all – you just sit on the sidelines and watch us fight Seifer in the tournaments." Hayner said to her.
"Please, Hayner. Give me a chance!" Olette pleaded. "I can prove to you that I can be a good fighter like you boys. In fact, I'm offering this – If I lose, I won't be allowed to Struggle, but if I win – you let me participate in practice matches. What do you say? Deal?" Olette finished speaking.
Hayner thought about this for a few minutes and in the end he made up his mind. "Alright, but just this once. Prove to me that you can fight with a Struggle Bat and I'll let you participate in practice matches. Okay?" He said.
"Thanks, Hayner! You are the best!" Olette said with a smile and hugged him.
"Hey! No hugs on the Future Champion of Struggle!" Hayner said with an annoyed tone, as he pushed Olette away from him. She giggled at his latest annoying outburst.
"So, shall we go and see the boys?" Olette asked him and he nodded.
"Yep. They're probably waiting for us. So, let's go!" Hayner said and then, both he and Olette started walking towards the Sandlot.
A few minutes later – at the Sandlot…
After passing through Market Street, Hayner and Olette reached the Sandlot where they noticed two boys – one with black hair and the other with golden-blond spiky hair sitting on the stage.
"Roxas! Pence!" Olette called to the two boys called Roxas and Pence. They looked up to see both her and their friend Hayner walking towards them.
"There you are, Olette! Did you overslept for the first time?" Roxas asked her with a smirk on his face, while Olette just pouted with frown.
"Oh, you have no idea man! She didn't even come for the morning meeting. For the first time, the punctual girl is late." Hayner said with a grin on his face.
"Hayner! Stop teasing me!" Olette said with an annoyed look on her face.
"So, anyways. Are you and Roxas going to practice Hayner or what?" Pence asked his friend.
"Change of plans, you two. Turns out, our lovely Olette wants to fight like me and Roxas. She challenged me to a Struggle Spar." Hayner said and the two boys' eyes widen.
"Woah, Olette! Are you sure you want to do this? This isn't a children's game! Let alone, a girl's!" Roxas said with a worried tone.
"Olette, I agree. This isn't a game! You could get hurt big time!" Pence said with a worried tone as well.
Olette, however ignored all of their concerns and continued. "I don't care! I want to prove to you guys that I can fight! So, let's get this show on the air!"
Roxas sighed. "Well, okay… But, it's your funeral." He said and then both he and Pence got up from the stage.
A few minutes later, both Hayner and Olette were up on the stage and given different colored Struggle Bats – Hayner's was green while Olette's was orange.
"Alright, the rules are very simple. You have one minute to collect as many orbs as you can from your opponent by beating him up. For now, you are given 100 orbs. However, the more you collect, the closer you are to winning. The first to collect more orbs than his opponent wins. Understand, you two?" Roxas said, as both he and Pence were sitting on a bench overlooking the entire match – all of them decided that the golden-blond haired boy should be the judge for this practice spar.
"Got it." Both of them said at the same time and the two of them got into a fighting position.
"Okay! On the count of three… three… two… one… GO!" Roxas yelled and the two of them started running towards each other. Olette delivered her first hit on Hayner which made him many orbs. She picked them up very quickly, however he delivered his own attack which made her drops lots of her own orbs.
"40 seconds remaining." Roxas said to them.
Olette ran towards him and started hitting him multiple times which made him drops many of his orbs, she picked them up very quickly and started moving towards Hayner again. She hit him a few more times and a couple of orbs fell from him, she picked up those as well.
"20 seconds remaining." Roxas said to them.
"Gotta make this one count!" Olette thought to herself. Just then, she noticed Hayner running towards her with his Struggle Bat. However, just before he could deliver an attack on her, she jumped in the air and delivered her own finish move on him. That made him drop the rest of his orbs and she picked them up. Just then, the sound of the bell rang – "RING! RING!"
"Okay, time's up! Nice job, you two!" Roxas said.
Olette was currently kneeling on her feet exhausted from the fight against Hayner while he was currently laying on the ground. Did she win the fight?
"Hey, Olette." Hayner called out to her and she looked at him.
"Yeah?" Olette asked him.
"Good fight you put up against me. I was wrong – you do have what it takes to be a fighter." Hayner said with a smirk on his face.
Olette smiled at him, she got up and gave him a hand. "Thanks. Here, take my hand."
Hayner took it and she pulled him up.
"Oh, that reminds me! Who won the practice spar?" Hayner asked Roxas and Pence as they walked over to them.
"Olette won. Got to admit, she does know how to fight dirty! You're welcome to spar with us any day!" Roxas said with a grin.
"Thanks, guys! Now, how about as a reward we go and get some Sea-Salt ice-cream?" Olette asked her friends and they smiled at her.
"Oh, heck yeah! Let's go!" Hayner said and all of them started walking towards Market Street.
A little later on the Clock Tower…
After buying four bars of sea-salt ice cream, the four friends found themselves on the roof of the Twilight Town Clock Tower and were watching the beautiful sunset. Suddenly, Olette remembered something important.
"Hey, Roxas. Do you remember the day we first met you?" Olette asked him and he nodded.
"Yep. It's been 11 years since you three found me in an abandoned alleyway and took me to the mayor where she adopted me. Why do you want to know?" Roxas asked her.
"Well… for a while I've had this idea in my head… What was your hometown like? How did you arrive in Twilight Town?" Olette said to him.
"Actually… I haven't really thought about that… Where I come from… How I got here… I just don't know." Roxas said to her.
"And here is another good question – if Roxas is from another world, what is it like? Are there any other worlds out there?" Olette asked.
"That's a good question. But… where are you going with all of this?" Hayner asked her.
"I'm saying that we should go out there and find Roxas's world!" Olette stated which shocked the boys completely.
"Woah! Olette, are you serious?" Pence asked her.
"Yep, I'm very serious! I found a book at the library called Mysterious Worlds. In there, you can find all the info you need about going to new places besides Twilight Town. This could be the beginning of a new adventure! We have to go! We have to find Roxas's world!" Olette stated.
"I'd love to. But, how do we get to a new world?" Roxas asked her.
"I've got it! The ghost train!" Pence exclaimed.
"The What-Train?" Roxas asked him.
"Well… Legend tells of a ghost train that appears in the Sunset Hill Station just waiting to whisk passengers to a new world." Pence said.
"That's the spirit!" Olette said as she jumped to her feet. "We'll go the day after tomorrow!"
"I'm down with that!" Hayner said as he got up as well.
"What about our parents? Won't they be mad? I know my Mom will be…" Roxas asked.
"Don't worry, Roxas. I've got everything worked out. We'll tell our parents that we will be going on a little school trip for a couple of weeks and we'll be back before they know it. It's fullproof and guaranteed to work!" Olette said.
"Great! Then it's settled!" Hayner said.
"Alright, I'm in." Roxas said as he got up.
"Count me in as well." Pence said as he got up as well.
"Alright! Tomorrow, we started collecting some supplies and money for our 'little field trip' and the day after that we go and catch the mysterious ghost train at Sunset Hill!" Hayner declared.
"Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it." Roxas said with a smile on his face.
"No problem, pal. Best Friends Forever, right?" Olette said with a smile on her face and all of them nodded.
"Yep. Best Friends Forever. Now what?" Hayner asked.
"Well, it's still pretty early. Wanna go and have another practice battle with me Hayner?" Olette asked him.
"You want to challenge me again, Olette? If so… I accept your battle!" Hayner declared with a grin on his face.
"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you!" Olette declared and all of them started climbing down the clock tower.
Meanwhile…
Meanwhile, on another world – a duck wearing a wizard outfit was currently walking proudly through the corridor of Disney Castle whilst passing a group of brooms carrying buckets. He stopped in front of two enormous double doors and cleared his throat. The duck knocked three times to which a smaller door opened and he walked through it.
"Good morning, Your Majesty." He said while walking on the red carpet leading towards the throne.
"It's nice to see you this morn-" He began, but then he stopped when he noticed that the throne was empty.
"What!" He exclaimed.
Just then, he noticed a dog with yellow fur wearing a green collar walking from behind the throne. This was Pluto – the King's canine companion and best friend. There was something else that caught the duck's eye – in the dog's mouth there was an envelope.
The duck picked it up and began to read it. A few seconds later, he ran straight from the throne room towards the courtyard where he found a dog wearing some armor and sleeping on the ground in a relaxed position.
"Wake up, Goofy, wake up! This is serious!" The duck said to the dog called Goofy who unfortunately was still sleeping.
The duck got very mad at the sleeping Goofy. To wake him up, he pointed his finger into the air, yelled something and summoned a lightning bolt which swoops down and hits the dog in the side. Goofy sits up very sleepily and looked around.
"Hey there, Donald. G'morning." Goofy said to the duck called Donald.
"We've got a problem, Goofy! But don't tell anyone…" Donald said, but Goofy ignored him.
"Queen Minnie?" Goofy asked him.
"Not even the queen." Donald replied.
"Daisy?" Goofy asked him.
Donald shook his head furiously and said. "No, it's top secret!"
"G'morning, ladies." Goofy called out to someone over Donald's shoulders. Wait, ladies? Not good… Definitely not good news…
"What?" Donald said and turned around slowly to see two females standing behind him – one was a duck wearing a blue dress, while the other was a mouse wearing a red dress.
Daisy clears her throat and looks at Donald with a glare, while he just laughs sheepishly at her. Oh, boy. Now, he was in trouble…
We have finally finished Chapter 2! Phew, that was too damn close. Another couple of days and I would have completely forgotten about this story.
On a side note, I'll finally back from my little vacation! I'm so sorry I had to leave you all, but it was somewhat important – let's just say – It's a sort of business trip. I'm not going to tell you what it is because… It's not that fun to explain.
