[A/N: I know I said not to expect a chapter today, but my parents are very indecisive about what time we're leaving so I had time for a short chapter. I said last chapter that I was on the fence about a second Traverse Town chapter so this one is mostly filler, but be prepared for some Juliet and Clementine feels. Reviews are appreciated. Enjoy the chapter!]

Juliet was wandering through the translucent world. After she'd returned from Deep Jungle she'd informed Erik that she'd corrupted both Clayton and Jane. This seemed to please him immensely because he'd given her a bit of time off. Her current problem was that she didn't know what to do with this time off. She was in a large cavern that had a pool of bright white light at the bottom. Slowly she crawled down a kind of netting on the side of the wall making her way towards the pool. Curiosity got the better of her before she jumped through the pool.

She came out into a small alcove that had a thin stream of light in the middle. "I wonder what that's for." Juliet stuck her head through the beam of light to see what was on the other side.

What surprised her was that she was in Traverse Town. The third district to be exact. "Strange….why would that beam of light take me to Traverse Town? I guess it couldn't hurt to poke around a little." Juliet was walking around the third district when she heard familiar voices. Damn, its those two again. Why are they still following me?

Clementine was looking through the third district without Akio when she saw Juliet duck into the alley that led to Merlin's house. "Come out Juliet I've found you now there's no point in hiding."

Juliet peered out of the dark to see Clementine walking towards her. "What do you want?"

"Just to talk now come out." Clementine took a step back when Juliet walked towards her. "You can't keep doing this, Juliet."

"Elaborate. Stop doing what?"

"You know what I'm talking about. We were in Deep Jungle and saw what you did to Jane. Do you have any idea how much havoc your causing?"

"I have an idea." Juliet started to walk around Clementine, but found her path blocked. "What you want to keep talking?"

Clementine really didn't like the idea that had come to mind, but maybe it could snap Juliet out of the state she was in. She raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

For a minute Juliet looked like she was in shock. Her fingers came up to touch the slightly pinked skin. "You hit me…"

"You want to hit me back? Hit me I'm not going anywhere." What Clementine expected was to get slapped. Instead she felt the Keyblade jab her in the stomach knocking her over.

Juliet was staring down at Clementine with an oddly calm look on her face. "You really shouldn't have hit me."

Clementine didn't make any move to get up. "I was trying to snap you out of this trance that you're in."

"It's not a trance. This who I really am."

"No it isn't. Erik took your heart and now he's using you for God knows what."

Juliet's eyes narrowed. "Don't talk about him."

"He's a lying, evil, controlling bastard and he's got you wrapped around his little finger. Me and Akio just want to help you. We're your friends." Clementine yelped in pain as the Keyblade struck her in the back.

"I told you not to talk about him. You don't know anything about him or me so just shut up."

"I do know about him and about you too. Erik has been using you since the day he met you and I'm only trying to help you. Please just listen to me."

Juliet only felt herself getting angrier and struck Clementine again in the back of the head. "You don't know anything just shut up!"

Clementine curled herself into a ball shielding her head as the Keyblade continued to rain down on her. After a few minutes she felt the beating stop and heard sobs. She uncovered her head and looked up to see Juliet staring at her with wide wet eyes.

"Clementine you have to help me." Juliet got down on her knees and scrambled over to Clementine. "He's got my heart, Clementine. You have to get him to let go."

"Don't worry I'll get him to let go. I just need to go find Akio first." She got up pulling Juliet up with her. "He's around close by don't worry."

Back in the translucent world Erik was busy watching a red haired woman from the Kingdom of the Sun when he felt something off. He waved his hand over the pool he'd been looking through changing the world to Traverse Town. Erik frowned when he saw Juliet with Clementine. "Oh no, that won't do at all I'm afraid."

Clementine had Juliet by the hand and was walking towards the doors that led to the second district when she felt Juliet stop walking. "What's the matter?" She looked back to see that Juliet's eyes were cloudy again. "You can fight him off I know you can."

Instead of responding Juliet pulled her hand away from Clementine and took a few steps away before walking back down the steps. She didn't hear Clementine following her and summoned a dark portal before walking through it. She's stupid to think that anything is wrong with me. All though that was a strange feeling I got when I was beating her. It almost felt like she was telling the truth. But that can't be right. She's one of the bad guys. Isn't she?

By the time she got back to the world that she'd started in she didn't see any trace of Puck or Antonia and could only surmise that they were off doing their own thing. Up ahead she saw the area where Erik usually was and swallowed. She had a feeling he wasn't happy with her and only wanted to avoid him.

"What are you doing lingering in the shadows? Come over here where I can see you."

A little hesitantly Juliet made her way over to him. "Yes?"

If Erik was indeed angry it didn't show on his face. "What have you been up to? I've been looking for you."

"I was exploring another world."

"Which one?"

"Traverse Town."

"I see….did you run into anyone you know?"

"No…"

"Don't lie to me. I think you ran into Clementine. And I think she tried to put some vile ideas in your head about me."

"She did…."

"Now was so hard to tell the truth? However, given this recent development I don't think it would be a good idea for you to go out by yourself anymore. Come with me I want to show you something."

Juliet followed him up a short flight of steps until they got to a large brightly lit room. In the middle was a pool of shimmering silvery liquid. She went to put her hand in it when Erik pulled her away.

"You may not want to do that. Just look in it and tell me what you see."

She looked down into the pool where she saw a very pretty woman with dark red hair and big blue eyes. "She's beautiful who ever she is."

"Her name is Emmy in case you're wondering and she lives in the Kingdom of the Sun."

"Is she your friend?"

"Hardly, we danced together once a long time ago. I told her I'd come back to see her, but I haven't."

"Why not?"

"Because the feelings I have for her makes me feel weak. I don't like feeling like that so that's why I've never gone back to see her."

"But she's pretty. Who cares if she makes you feel weak."

"You can't be around people who make you feel weak, Juliet. Clementine and Akio make you feel like that so you should avoid them."

"No they don't."

"They do. I saw it today. You may not like me anymore, but what do you think is the wiser choice to avoid those who take away your strength or to stay with those give you power?"

Juliet wasn't exactly understanding what Erik was talking about, but wasn't quite ready to leave yet.

"What are you still standing there for? Go find Puck and Antonia. You're going to Agrabah next." Erik waited until Juliet had left before going back to the pool.
