Parade
When Xion was teamed up with someone else, she always tried her hardest to take down heartless and collect hearts, so they wouldn't think she was slacking off. Even with Roxas or Axel, she couldn't really just stare into space, or they may get worried.
However, Xion sometimes couldn't help but stare at certain Heartless and wonder why they didn't attack. Was it because of the hearts that had made them? Some heartless, like Rare Vendors or Bulky Vendors, always ran away and never attacked. Some heartless, like a little White Mushroom she had once run into, actually played with her.
And then… there was the Emerald Serenade. It never fought, or ran, or even acknowledged Xion's presence. It just floated around the same path, again and again, unresting and unyielding. It was as if it were in its own little world… like it marched in a parade all its own.
Her mission for the day was specifically to take it down. Right now, though, she just sat atop a tree and watched it go all around the Lotus Forest. When she finally took aim and shot a Fira, she noticed that it sped up. Was it scared it wouldn't get to finish its parade?
Xion sighed and stood up. There was no rush, right? She'd still have time to make it to the clock tower later.
For now, Xion glided behind the Emerald Serenade and imitated a drum as they paraded together.
