Crystalmaiden62 lay in bed as Anna and Blair comes to check on here.

Blair: You feeling okay?

Crystal: Yeah, I just need to rest a bit.

Anna: At least you've been doing a good job so far.

Blair: Yeah, and schools almost over so hang in there.

Crystal: Thanks guys. So let's start with the disclaimers.

Disclaimers: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any Disney thing. I only own Anna, Lunar Wish, and that random mermaid. So I hope you enjoy so please no flames.

Chapter 10: Neverland

"Tinker Bell…."
"Um… they ain't movin'." Tinker Bell? Are we in Neverland already? Wait, isn't this that part? I opened my eyes to see Tinker Bell ready to kick Ventus in the face.

"Let's try kickin' him!"

"Ven!" I jumped as Ven turned out of the way of Tinker Bell's foot, sending her flying slightly.

"Who are you guys?" I looked to see two of the Lost Boys. I think their names are Slightly and Cubby.

"I'm Anna." I said as got up to get Ventus up.

"Name's Ventus, but everyone calls me 'Ven'." Ven said, with a small smile. "Hmm… Guess when we sat down to rest, we must've fallen asleep." Nice excuse Ven.

"But where'd ya guys come from?" Cubby asked.

"That's our secret." I said quickly as Tinker Bell came flying back from her little flight. She started pulling on Slightly's ear or at least the ear of his fox suit.

"All right, all right. We're goin!" Slightly groaned, not really liking his ear being pulled even though its just his clothes.

"So long, Ven, Anna!" Cubby said before he and Slightly followed Tinker Bell.

"Hey, where are you guys off to?" Ven asked, curious now.

"Tink saw a shootin' star and we're gonna hunt it down!" Cubby cheered, excited for this adventure.

"A shooting star! Mind if we came along?" Ventus asked, looking really excited. I don't know if he linked to what Cubby said to Mickey's Star Shard or not but it does sound like fun.

"'Course not, but you guys gotta agree to follow us!" Slightly said with a grin.

"Sure, we can do that." I said with a nod.

"Yeah, it's uh… right over…" Tink had to point to the direction they were just walking, "That way! By the Indian Camp!"

"Ready, men? Forward march!" Slightly ordered as we walked along.

"They do realize we're girls, right?" I asked Tinker Bell who just shrugged. "Well, we girls better stick together then. We may be the only decent ones here." Tink nodded with a smile as she sat on my shoulder. Though Tinker Bell isn't my favorite Disney character, its hard not to like her when she's nice. Maybe because I hang out with Ventus, she might not think I like Peter so doesn't see me as competition. Well, Peter isn't my type anyway; he's too cocky.

We entered the Mermaid Lagoon to see a few of the mermaids there. Well, this is new. I liked they didn't have the mermaids in the game. I mean, they nearly killed Wendy because they saw her as competition to Peter's attention and to go so far as to kill her by drowning is kind of scary.

"Why hello there." One mermaid called out to Ventus, who blushed slightly. "I've never seen you around here before. What's your name?"

"V…Ventus." Ventus stuttered as I rolled my eyes.

"Come on, Ven. Let's keep going." I said, about to pull him away before getting splashed with water. After I wiped the water from my eyes, I looked down to see the mermaid smirking at me.

"Oh sorry, I slipped." Slipped my foot! I was about to summon Lunar Wish and electrocute the heck out of this evil mermaid, but I remembered I should be the better person.

"Let's just get out of here." I said, now dragging Ven away only to get splashed, yet again, by the same mermaid only this time she was laughing at me.

"Hey, that wasn't very nice!" Ven yelled as I glared at the mermaid. Before I could yell at this evil mermaid, Tinker Bell flew in and kicked this mermaid in the face. Oh my god! I love Tink now!

"Thanks Tink, I owe you one." I said as Tinker Bell smirked proudly with a look that clearly said, 'I've wanted to do that for a while now'. Of course, though, the lagoon did have a few Unversed to fight. The most annoying one was the giant ape like Unversed that I had difficulty fighting. Sadly, Ventus was too busy fighting a totem pole like Unversed to help me out. 'At this rate, I'll get beaten to death!' I thought, dodging a fist but ended up tripping over my own feet and fell to the ground. The Unversed ape then sent an attack at me to the point I didn't think I aimed my keyblade at the ape and the strange light snow spell came out and it was so powerful it froze the Unversed solid. I couldn't help but stare as the ape broke and vanished into dark matter.

"Anna, are you okay?" Cubby asked as he, Slightly, and Ventus walked to me. All the Unversed we gone but it still made me wonder what that spell was. It's been going on for a while now and we're getting close to the final battle. I need to know how to use this spell willingly.

"What was that?" Ventus asked as I shrugged, really all I can do. "I thought Lunar Light was your only light spell."

"Me too but the last few worlds proved me wrong." I whispered so the two boys couldn't here us.

"Anyway, let's keep goin'." Slightly said and we followed him, Cubby, and Tink away from the lagoon. Thank goodness for that. We finally saw the Hangman's Tree; the hide out where the Lost boys live. It looks way cooler in person. Suddenly, a familiar birdcall filled the air and we looked up to see a red haired boy dressed in green tights flying over us.

"Peter Pan!" The two boys cheered as Peter Pan flew in front of Ventus and me.

"Who do we have here? Never seen you guys before." Peter said, floating in front of us.

"I'm Ventus, call me 'Ven'."

"And I'm Anna, nice to meet you." I said as Peter grinned.

"Well… if you say so." Peter said, landing on the ground. I can't tell if he really cared about our names or not. And he seemed like he didn't as he went to the Lost Boys. "Ten-shun!" Peter called and the Lost Boys stood up straight and ready in front of their leader with a salute. "Now then, men. I don't suppose you'd wanna capture some real pirate treasure?"

"Real pirate treasure?" Cubby asked, as I raised an eyebrow. Pirates live off the coast of the island, they should find at least some pirate treasure around the island anyway.

"Sure!" Slightly answered, forgetting the hunt for the shooting star.

"Well, guess who caught sight of Hook right when he was stashing his treasure?" Peter asked, looking proud of himself. "What do you say we sneak in and grab it?"

"Oh boy!"

"Let's go! Let's go!" Cubby and Slightly cheered but Tink had other plans and actually kicked the two Lost Boys in the face. She flew to Peter now mad at him.

"Tinker Bell, what's gotten into you?" Peter asked, confused at Tink's reaction.

"We were all supposed to go hunt for a shooting star together." Ventus pointed out as we walked closer to the group.

"Yeah, Tink really wanted to do it." I said as Tinker Bell went to sit on my shoulder.

"Forget that. Pirate treasure is way more fun." Peter said, not really caring about Tink. Why does she like him again? "Tink, you're coming with us!" Tink shook her head and stayed on my shoulder. "Well, that's no way to respond to an invitation." It is if you put your needs over hers. "C'mon, Ven, Anna. You're better sports than her, right?"

"I'd love to join you but…" Ventus started, "first I want to find the shooting star."

"Yeah, Tink really wanted to find it so we'll see you later." I said as Ven and I followed Tinker Bell, leaving the boys behind. "That was really rude of Peter." I said as Tink nodded and pointed a pathway here in the distance we can see teepees and totem poles.

"Come on, let's go!" Ventus cheered and we ran to the Indian Camp with Tinker Bell flying in the lead. Unlike the Mermaid Lagoon, the Indian Camp was empty. Maybe they're hiding from the Unversed or out hunting, I think. "Anna, look." Ventus pointed to something lying on the ground. "Isn't that Mickey's Star Shard?"

"Yeah." I said, that means Mickey must be fighting Vanitas right now. Ven, Tink, and I ran to it but we were too late. Captain Hook grabbed the Star Shard and Tinker Bell, looking extremely pleased.

"A shooting star and a pixie! Must be me birthday!" Hook said with a smirk.

"Let Tinker Bell go!" Ventus ordered as we summoned our keyblades.

"A couple of Peter Pan's brats." Hook sneered as we glared at him. "Well tell that cowardly sparrow if he wants his precious Tinker Bell back, he'd best meet me at Mermaid Lagoon!"

"Stop!" We made to go after the two but again those annoying Unversed surrounded us.

"Not again!" I groaned before we fought the hoard of the Unversed. During this fight, though Ven ended up fighting more Unversed away from me, I ended up getting swamped by the Unversed. "Get off me!" I screamed aiming different spells so the Unversed were destroyed in a mixture of Thundaga spells and that new light spell I've been trying to master. Seriously, how can I use this spell?

You still haven't found out yet? You need to think a little more. I jumped at Lunar's voice in my head.

"Why can't you just tell me? This power might be able to save Ven and the others." I muttered so Ven couldn't hear.

You should've guessed by now. Use your head! Lunar yelled at me. Until then, at least think more about it. I'll tell you more when you figure it out.

"Come on, Lunar." I groaned but Lunar didn't answer me again. She likes doing this, doesn't she.

"Come on, Anna! We have to follow them!" Ven yelled as we finished off the last of the Unversed. We ran out of the Indian Camp but there was no sign of Hook, Smee, or Tinker Bell. "We lost them." Ven said, looking depressed but looked up at something up in a tree.

"Ven, what are you looking at?" I asked as Ven looked at me.

"It's nothing, just thinking." Ven said, with a small sad smile.

"Look out below!" We looked to see Peter flying down to us.

"Good timing, Peter." I said as he floated in front of us.

"Tinker Bell's been pixie-napped!" Ventus said as a frown crossed Peter's face.

"Then I'm too late. Hook's gonna pay for this!" Peter growled, looking serious and worried for Tinker Bell's safety. I guess his heart is in the right place after all for the little pixie.

"He said to meet him at Mermaid Lagoon." Ven said as I crossed my arms.

"Still, it could be a trap."

"You're right, Anna. Gotta be an ambush." Peter said, yep he looked serious now. This is the Peter I'd like to follow. "Hmph, that old codfish thinks he's clever." With that, he began to fly off to save the pixie.

"Hey, we're coming too!"

"Yeah, Tink's our friend too!" I called out as Peter turned with a smile on his face.

"Well, we have to hurry. Can you guys keep up?" Peter asked.

"You bet!"

"Trust me. Being around Ven, you need to be fast." I said as Ven and I ran after Peter. "By the way, are Cubby and Slightly okay?"

"Yeah, I'm sure of it." Peter said with a nod. At least he cared for this team. Guess he's a good leader after all. We ran to Mermaid Lagoon to see the same mermaid from earlier.

"Oh Peter! I didn't know you two were friends." The mermaid cooed, ignoring me but I didn't care as a cannon ball came at us.

"In coming!" I screamed as I grabbed the two boys and pulled them out of the way as the cannon ball landed where we just stood.

"Cannon fire? Where's it coming from?" Ven asked as he summoned his keyblade.

"On the water! Over there!" Peter called, point to the distance and I could see the Jolly Rodger and another cannon call coming straight at us again. The three of us moved out of the in time as the cannon ball hit where we just stood. The only thing was the appearance of a familiar pixie.

"Tink, it's you! And you're all right!" Peter cheered, looking relieved but it soon was replaced by confusion. "What? A strange fellah with a funny lookin' sword has…" But he didn't get to finish as another cannon ball came flying by us. "Hold on, I gotta stop that cannon!"

"Okay, we'll go after Hook!" Ven said as I nodded.

"Just leave it to us."

"Right, Tink, if you would." Peter said as Tink nodded and flew around Ven and me, thus covering us in her pixie dust.

"What…"

"It's pixie dust. Bet you feel lighter now, don't cha?" Peter said with a slight grin.

"Wait, what's it supposed to do?" Ven asked but Peter and Tink flew off to the Jolly Rodger. Ventus sighed before turning to me. "You got any idea how to use the pixie dust?"

"Yep." I said with a nodded as I thought of something happy. At once I began to rise in the air and it was amazing.

"Anna, you're flying!" Ventus gasped as I grinned down at him.

"Yeah, just think of something happy and you'll be able to fly too." Ven nodded and he soon joined me in the air.

"Wow! We're really flying!" Ven cheered, looking excited.

"Yep, now lets get that Hook!"

"Yeah!" It was amazing flying and fighting the Unversed at the same time. It felt amazing and it was easier to dodge the attacks of the ground Unversed this way. Also, even though I'm afraid of heights, it felt amazing to just soar through the sky and beating up Unversed at the same time. I think this would be better than the gravity change in Deep Space if I ever had time to test it. Still, there was some fighting with the Unversed that did come up. Even with flying it was hard to beat those ape Unversed. "You okay?" Ven asked, after we defeated all the Unversed and I landed to catch my breath in the cove area.

"Yeah, I just hate fighting those ape Unversed." I said, with a sigh as I sat down on the ground.

"Have you found out more on that new spell?" Ventus asked as I shook my head.

"No, Lunar isn't telling me anything. I think she gets a kick not telling me anything." I said, rubbing my head.

"Well, have you thought on when the spells happened?" Ven asked and he did make a good point.

"I guess I never thought about it until now." I said with a sheepish smile.

"Well, what were you thinking when you used that spell?" Ventus asked.

"Well, I think I was thinking of getting stronger so I can fight on my own." I said with a shrug. "That and I was either angry or scared of dying."

"That's it!"

"What, my fear of getting hurt?" I asked, confused now.

"No, every time you use that spell you're fighting alone. Maybe it's a self-defense spell." Ventus said but I was doubtful of it.

"I'm not sure. I think it's something else." I said, getting back up.

"Well, at least you can test it when we fight Hook." Ven said as I nodded.

"Guess you're right. Thanks, Ven." We walked into the cove to see Hook with his back to us. He just stood their, evidently waiting to know if Peter died. That and I didn't get how he could hear anything because the while place was silence as he seemed to try and hear something.

"Alas, and so passeth a worthy opponent. To think that his would be such an inglorious end." Hook sighed before slumping. He then started laughing and Ventus looked at me with a questioning look, which I could only shrug to. "At last, that scurvy brat will never trouble me again!"

"I wouldn't be so sure of that, Hook!" Ven called as we summoned our keyblades and Hook looked shocked to see us. "No don't tell me. Swoggle me eyes!" Hook took out his telescope to check if Peter really did die or not and sure enough, Peter wasn't dead as Hook planned. In rage, he threw his telescope to the ground. "Blast that Peter Pan!" He then jumped onto the rock in the middle of the pool of water with his sword at the ready. But then a curious ticking sound came from the water and any Disney fan knows what that ticking means to Captain Hook. "That sound!" He turned and right behind him was he crocodile that ate his hand. "No! Not again! S…Stay away from me!" During this, Ventus and I quickly flew to the rock, ready for a fight.

"I don't think so!"

"Now you deal with us!" I growled, Lunar Wish ready in my hand.

"Oh really? Face me sword!" He yelled, making to strike us but Ven dodged and I blocked.

"Why don't you get lost?" I yelled as I started attacking him and once he got to the edge of the rock, Ventus finished it off with a strike; sending into the water with the crocodile. He instantly jumped out of the water looking red with anger.

"You scurvy brats!" He yelled charging right at us with such force, it knocked Ven into the water.

"Ven!"

"I'm okay!" He called but the crocodile came a him. Guess this is my fight now.

"Present for you." I jumped out of the way quickly as Hook threw exploding presents at me.

"Firaga!" I yelled aiming the fire spell at Hook, who's coat caught fire.

"Argh! That's hot!" He screamed, trying to put out the fire. At least I'm able to hold my own for a bit until Ven gets back. "You scurvy brat!" He screamed and I didn't move out of the way of the sword in time and I actually felt blood running down my arm and staining my pink sweater. "Not so tough are you, girl."

"I'm not done yet!" I yelled glaring at Hook. "I'm not physically strong like my friends but I've got something deep down, I have to believe I have something. I saw that light and I need it." I gripped Lunar Wish, willing it to show me what I needed again. "This power is important to me. I've only scratched the surface of it too. This power to protect my friends and I'll be able to fight on a equal level to them!" I pointed my keyblade at Hook and I started feeling surge of power flow through me from my heart to every part of my body. "Lunar Light!" But it wasn't my Lunar Light spell that came out. It was that spell powerful light snow spell I had such a hard time using but it seemed extremely powerful now. 'I think I get it now.' I thought for a second. 'This is my true light, the feeling that I'm stronger deep down.'

That's right. Lunar said and I could almost imagine her smiling. You've always had this true light. There's so much you still need to know but at least you're able to use your inner light. It's the belief in yourself, intensified by Kingdom Hearts itself. Now you can use the Lunar Storm spell.

"Yeah, thanks Lunar." I whispered as Hook fell into the water. Instantly seeing the crocodile he screamed and ran away with the croc hot on his tail.

"Lave me alone!" He scream as he ran away on the water. "Help me, Smee! Smee!" I couldn't help but laugh as Ventus walked to me.

"You were great! Did you find out how to use that spell?" Ven asked as I nodded.

"Yep, turns out the answer was in me all along. I just needed that and a bit of power from Kingdom Hearts." I said closing my eyes. Kingdom Hearts has given me this chance and I'm gonna use it.

"Glad I could help." Ven said with a grin as I stared at him.

"Ven, you purposely stayed out of that battle, didn't you."

"Well, maybe…"
"Ven!" I scolded as he grinned at me. Still, I couldn't help but smile. "Thanks, Ven."

"No problem." Ven said and I nodded.

"Ahoy! Look what we brought!" We looked to see Cubby and Slightly in a boat with a treasure chest and Peter flying next to them.

"It's a pirate's treasure chest!" Slightly cheered as we brought the chest out of the boat.

"Treasure!" Ventus cheered, looking excited.

"Yup! The same chest I told you about." Peter said, looking proud again. "We snatched it right from Hook's hiding place." With that, Peter opened the chest and to their surprise the chest was empty. "Huh? How come it's empty?"

"Uh, sorry but… we losted all the treasures." Cubby answered.

"Oh, well… that's too bad." Ven sighed, looking disappointed.

"Ah, who needs it?" Peter said, brushing it off. "It was prob'ly just full of dumb old jewels or doubloons or somethin' anyway."

"I guess…" I said with a sigh.

"We could just put what we treasure in there instead, if you wanna?" Slightly suggested.

"Yeah, that's perfect!" Peter said, instantly liking the idea. "Instead of fillin' it up with jewels and gold and stuff, we'll put in what's truly special to us. The real riches!"

"Yeah." I said with a nod. The definition of treasures does differ for people after all. So they filled it with their treasure, mostly wooden weapons really.

"What are you puttin' in, Ven, Anna." Peter asked as I gave a sighed.

"I really don't have anything to put in." I said taking out my wayfinder. It was the only think I carried around with me other than my pendant from the Land of Departure.

"That's okay, Anna. The next time you come back, you can put something in it." Peter said with a smile and I nodded. "What about you, Ven?"

"I dunno…" Ven said, thinking before taking out his wooden practice sword. "How about this?"

"Hm, what's that?"

"It's just something that one of our best friends gave to me." Ven said, smiling at the wooden keyblade.

"So it's like a keepsake, huh?" Peter said as I nodded.

"Yeah, it is." I said looking to Ven. "You sure about this, Ven?"

"Yup." Ven said, with a nod and a confident smile. "I don't need it if I've got Terra, Aqua, and you, Anna."

"Aw, thanks Ven." I said with a grin.

"All right then." Peter said with a smile. "Next time you visit, we'll have an even bigger chest waitin'. Enough for all those treasures and lots more." Peter said as I nodded. "We can wait till next time for your treasure, Anna."

"Okay, it's a deal." Ven said with a nod as I smiled. As Ventus placed his wooden sword into the chest, Tink made to put Mickey's Star Shard inside the chest too.

"Wait a minute, Tink." I said, kneeling down to her. "That Star Shard belongs to a friend of ours. Can I have it so Ven and I can return it to him?" But Tink shook her head, looking annoyed at me.

"Now Tink!" Peter scolded and Tinker Bell sadly gave me the Star Shard.

"Thanks, Tink. I owe you another one." I said as Tink gave me a, 'you sure do' look. Ven placed his hand on my shoulder and all of a sudden the Star Shard glowed and we were sent hurtling through space again. Now things will really change but at least with the Lunar Storm spell, I have a little hope on saving my friends. Now it's time to act.

Crystal: Well let's Neverland.

Anna: At least I'm able to use that spell now.

Blair: For Kingdom Hearts fans, you know the sad parts are coming up.

Crystal: Yes, and I've got a lot planned for Anna and what the Destiny Keeper really is.

Anna: What?

Crystal: So join us next time in Chapter 11: Horrible Truth. See you soon.
