The little girl could not sleep, because her thoughts were way too deep. Her mind had gone for a stroll, and fallen down the rabbit hole...
"Yep. There are only three options of how this is happening. Wait, no... Four. One, I've completely lost it. Two..." I walked towards the staircase to my left. "I'm hallucinating..." I began walking up the stairs. "Three... I'm dead..." I walked past the shops as I walked towards the first district doors. "And the least likely of all..." I pushed open the doors to the first district and entered. "My dream since I was four years old has finally come true."
"Yeah... I've lost it... and I'm hallucinating... Both are correct." I looked around. "How is this even possible...? It shouldn't be..." I pinched myself. "I'm not dreaming... and my heart is still beating..." I shook my head.
"What am I doing? I'm questioning everything while I could do what I've always wanted." I smiled. "I should see if he's here..." I began walking and I made my way to the front of the accessory shop. I looked towards the third district doors first, and the I looked over where the path to the fourth district would be. "It's there..."
I walked down the stairs. I saw the people that would always stand in the square from Kingdom Hearts there. All of them, from the Moogle to the the kid that really looked like Tidus.
"This is so cool..." I sighed. 'Where should I head...? The third district, or the fourth?' I swayed my head back and forth. 'I should probably try the fourth district... It seems kinda like a commercial district, so there'd be more people there...' I nodded to myself before heading to the right. I took in every detail as I went. 'I wonder what everyone back home would say if they knew this place was real...'
Once I was in the fourth district, I turned left. The place with the bright lights in Dream Drop Distance always seemed like a shop to me, so I wanted to check it out first.
I passed by some people on my way there. It really was strange seeing so many people in Traverse Town. It was so empty in the games... I just always assumed it'd be like that in real life, too.
"Ah ha, I was right." I looked up at the building in front of me. "It is a store." I walked inside and I saw it was selling food. Just then I realized how hungry I was. 'I don't have any money or *munny, though...' My stomach growled and I frowned. 'But I'm soo hungry...' I sighed and put my hands in my pockets. 'Oh well... I'll just go...' I turned to leave but I felt something weird in my pocket. 'What the...?' I pulled it out and I saw it was munny. 'But how is that...?' My stomach growled again. 'Never mind. Just go with it.'
I turned back around and made my way over to the counter. I looked at the menu, and it just looked like a fast food restaurant back home. That is, until I saw sea salt ice cream as an option.
"What can I get you?" I looked towards the worker and blinked.
"Oh, umm... I'll take one sea salt ice cream..." He smiled and then opened a cold drawer/fridge thing and handed me an ice cream in a packet.
"That'll be 20 munny." I reached in my pocket and pulled out enough munny. 'Heh... 20 munny... That rhymed... Sort of...'
"Thank you very much and do come again."
"Thanks." I took my ice cream and sat to the side at a small table. I opened the packet and then looked at the familiar food. 'Now I'll truly see if it's good or not...' I bit off the corner piece and I was met by a taste that was just how they always described it: salty, yet sweet.
"Wow... That is good..." I continued eating while I thought about what happened. 'So, what do you remember...? Well, you were at school... You were walking to *advisory... Then you were in extreme pain... And then nothing...' I frowned. 'Did I pass out...? And if so, how'd I get here...?' I looked out the window. 'Traverse Town of all places...'
Just then, a girl who looked out of place (Well, more so than I did) walked out into the open. I shook my head and focused on finishing my ice cream. Once I had, I checked the stick to see what it said.
"Loser, huh?" I sighed, yet smiled. "Better luck next time, I suppose..." I got up and threw my trash in the garbage. "Maybe I'll go explore some more..."
"What is that?!" I heard screaming coming from outside, and I ran to see what was going on.
"Uh, oh..." The girl that had looked strange was on the ground. From prior knowledge, I knew she was dead. No to mention the fact that a *heartless had emerged from her.
Everyone began to panic as it began attacking people and releasing their hearts. I ran around the people who were freaking out and hurried down the stairs.
I wasn't sure where to go, so I headed towards the fifth district. Once there, I looked around at my options. 'I don't exactly have *flowmotion, so I can't shoot up to the roof... and if I go in the garden-y place, I'll be at a dead end...' I looked behind me and saw heartless coming towards me. 'Not that I'm not already at a dead end... Maybe it will buy me some time...' I began running again.
I went inside the greenhouse-ish place and ran down the ramp. I was at the bottom and I kept running until I was in a corner. 'Well, I'm done for...' I turned and saw the heartless heading for me.
"I end up in Traverse Town, and I die. Not how, I thought I'd go out..."
~Don't give up.~ I looked around. 'I thought I heard someone...'
~You have to fight!~ I watched as a heartless jumped at me. 'I'm going crazy right before death... Great...'
~Fight!~ I closed my eyes as the heartless came at me and crossed my arms in front of me.
"I don't want to die!" I moved just as the Heartless was about to scratch me, and I felt something in my hand.
~Shinsetsu.~ I ignored the voice and stared at the sword in my hand. It was a katana with a white blade and a yellow hilt. There was a design of black vines weaved around it.
"Okay... It's not a keyblade..." I got into an awkward battle stance. "But it'll have to work..." Some more heartless came at me, but I swung once they were close enough and my sword cut right through them. They poofed out of sight right after. 'I should probably go to the first district. The accessory shop should be safe enough...' I began to run while fending off the *shadows. 'If I'm lucky...'
I finally ran into the first district after a lot of running and fighting. I was amazed that I was less worn out then I'd normally be.
"I'm on... the homestretch... Just... a little farther..." I panted as I started running again. Just as I was about to run up the steps, the ground shook. I looked back and saw that the shadows had stopped following me. However, one large shadow was forming on the ground. 'Well this isn't good...'
The shadow began to rise from the ground. Glowing yellow eyes were the first thing that were apparent. 'There is no way in hell I can fight a *Darkside all by myself... Being that I learned to fight, like, 10 minutes ago... More or less...' I backed away from it as the ground shook again. I kept my balance and looked around.
'Even if I go inside the accessory shop, it won't do much good... It would buy me time, but I'd probably get killed...' I looked up at the yellow eyes of the Darkside. 'But I can't fight it... I'll die that way, too...' I turned and ran up the stairs. 'I'm screwed either way... I'd rather have a minute to think before I die...'
I ran and pushed the doors open. I quickly shut them and then looked around. The building was empty and the fire was out. It was silent. I slid down the door. I felt tears coming to my eyes.
"My dream finally comes true... and then all this happens..." I wiped my eyes. "And I get to die all alone..." I laughed harshly. "The irony of it all..." I looked around. I then heard a ringing sound that came out of nowhere. I put my hand on my head. 'Not again...' The room suddenly seemed extremely bright.
Then, once again, I blacked out.
