This is my first story and it's about a dream that I had a while ago. Also here is the long chapter! This Chapter was edited by SimpleNClean92.

POV: Roxas
I was forced to wait outside the healing area. I just kept pacing back and forth in a straight line. And when I wasn't doing that, I was sitting down on a stool, staring at the flap to the healing area.
Kairi, Aerith's top healing trainee, came out of the flap with a glum look on her face. She said, "Miss Aerith wants to see you." With that she held the flap open for me.
I got up from my sitting position and walked into the healing room with an anxious spirit. When I saw Naminé, I felt a pang of guilt in my heart.
My thoughts of guilt were interrupted when Aerith asked me to take a seat. I took a seat next to Naminé's bedside.
Aerith sighed, standing in front of me, and began with, "The good news is that she's only paralyzed."
"And the bad news is?" I asked as I braced myself for the answer.
"The bad news is that I don't have the Heart Blossom needed to neutralize the poison that made her this way. It-"
"Can't you just use a supplement or something?!" I interrupted, "This is the Princess of the Land of Kingdom Hearts!" I began to cry, "If you don't cure her…" I just broke down; I couldn't speak as I cried into my gloved hands.
Aerith continued, "The cure can only be found in an oasis northeast of here, past the Heartless Desert, in the Forest of Nobody. Plus, if I don't have that blossom I can't guarantee that her condition will get better, in fact, whether or not I do apply the best supplement I can offer, her condition may stay this way forever!"
That last word made me look up in both surprise and terror. The very thought of Naminé being in this condition for the rest of her life made me quiver with fear.
"How soon do you need it?" I asked, with my new objective in mind.
"Oh no, you're not going any where in your condition!" answered Aerith.
"I don't care whether or not I have broken arm or if I'm near death. I'm going to save Naminé from this paralysis!" I yelled back as I stood up. Suddenly I cringed in pain as I felt my right ankle fail me and let me fall to the floor.
"OW!"
Aerith just stood there staring at with a smirk on her face. She sighed, "You were saying?"
"Alright, I'll stay but only until I'm well enough to walk," I said, gritting my teeth as I stood up.
"It's a deal. Now get on that bed so your injury can be tended to," Aerith said as she pointed to the bed next to Naminé.
After much pain and misery, my injury was tended to. But, I was ordered to bed rest for three days.
Sora and company came to visit me. I had to put on a fake smile to hide my own disappointment in myself. When Cloud met Aerith he just blushed and walked past; just as Sora did when he walked past Kairi. I just smiled at both Cloud and Sora. Then I heard both Leon and Yuffie arguing about who was the better fighter, as usual. The noise level had gotten too high for Aerith, so she shooed everybody out after all the hellos and goodbyes were said. I told them that I would give them an update after I could walk. After everyone left, I looked over to where Naminé was and sighed. I whispered over to her, "Naminé, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to protect you like I was supposed to. Can you ever forgive me?"
The silence stabbed me like a dagger in the gut. As I began to drift into the land of sleep, I wondered, What is this warm fuzzy feeling next to the pang of guilt? Why does it make think of Naminé? I brushed this thought aside as I dreamt of deserts with terrible pancake monsters that paralyzed angels, and of flowers that were far away in strange forest…
To be continued…
So what did you think? And please give me some ideas on how to continue this story.
