Chapter 10: Castle of dreams, part 1
Inside a partially dark, old and a little dusty room which had a single-sized bed leaning against the left-sided brick wall with a slightly tall wooden table with a single candle on it standing next to the bed, a partially large wooden cupboard leaning against the right-sided wall with another identical slightly tall wooden table standing next to the cupboard, a young fair-skinned, long blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman (who's wearing a white and dark brown-coloured long sleeve bodice/shirt, a long light-brown coloured knee-length skirt with a white-coloured apron tied around her waist, dark brown-coloured flats and a blue-coloured ribbon which tied her hair up into a ponytail) is sitting on a wooden bench near the opened window of her room and staring out the opened window at the distance large and brightly lit, pale blue-coloured castle beyond the large forest in front of it before she let out a sigh of sadness and dismay. Suddenly a small brown mouse wearing a dark red-coloured shirt with light red-coloured cotton jacket over it, matching red-coloured hat on his head and brown-coloured flats came running out of a small hole in the bottom right corner of the wall near the cupboard and toward the bed.
"Cinderella! Cinderella! Come on! Gotta hurry! Gotta hurry!" said the mouse as he stopped in his tracks near the bottom of the bed before he started climbing up the wooden frame of the bed until he's standing on top of the bed's wooden frame in front of the fair-skinned, long blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman named Cinderella (who turned to glance at the mouse standing on the wooden frame of her bed after she heard him calling her).
"What is it, Jag? What's all the fuss about?" Cinderella asked the mouse named Jag in a kind/gentle tone of voice.
"Some new peoples in the house, Cinderella! Peoples that I never saw before." replied Jag.
"Oh, new friends. Where are they?" Cinderella said/asked Jag for the second time.
"They're caught inside a trap-trap, Cinderella! In the living room down the stairs!" replied Jag in a worry tone of voice to Cinderella.
"What? Oh, the poor dears." said Cinderella in a worry tone of voice to Jag as well before she stood up from the bench she sat on, walked swiftly toward the wooden door of her bedroom to open it and went through the door then she walked down the stairs toward the living room to help in freeing the ones caught in the trap.

Meanwhile, in the trap inside the living room…
Ventus is currently pacing back and forth inside the oval-shaped black-coloured trap while Josette is sitting in the left corner of the trap with her legs pressed up against her chest and her arms around it as she glance at Ventus pacing back and forth with a slight annoy scowl on her face (after both she and Ventus take a very shocked and thorough glance at the large room around and above them and they saw that the walls and ceiling of the room is white and light blue in colour with a large, bright chandelier hanging high in the middle of the ceiling above them, a large and long maroon-coloured couch leaning against the wall next to a large white and dark yellow-coloured cupboard (which also leaned against the wall) opposite them, a semi-large, light brown and dark-green coloured wooden dresser cabinet with a long dark brown-coloured clock standing on it leaning against the wall to their right, a large and tall wooden table leaning against the wall below an opened window with several books on it to their left and dozens of books, boxes and clothes scattering on the table, couch and floor in different corners of the room).
"What is going on, Jo? How is it that we became so small all of a sudden and we're caught inside a trap soon after we arrived in this world?" Ventus asked Josette.
"I don't know, Ven. I had no idea on how we suddenly became so small and got caught in this trap." replied Josette in a slightly sarcastic then annoy tone of voice to Ventus.
Ventus ceased his pacing, turned to scowled at Josette as he raised and crossed his arms over his chest for the next 6 seconds before he uncrossed his arms, turned to look away from Josette and he grabbed the bars of the trap while staring through the bars at the large room around and above them both. "Can somebody tell us how we got so SMALL!" Ventus yelled out to the empty room before he let out a deep sigh and lowered his head to stared down at the floor.
The next second, both Ventus and Josette (who stood up from the ground) heard and saw the large white-coloured door of the room opened inward and they saw Cinderella and Jag came walking through the door into the room before they approach the trap which both Ventus and Josette are caught in and Cinderella picked up the trap, which causes both Ventus and Josette to cried out as they lost their balance before they fell and rolled down toward the back of the trap.
"There there, don't be afraid, you two." said Cinderella in a reassuring tone of voice to both Ventus and Josette as she opened the lid of the trap, look into it and let out a surprise gasp. "Oh my! How interesting… I've never seen mices like you two before." said Cinderella to both Ventus and Josette.
"Mices? Did you just call us mices?" said Ventus as he glance at Cinderella in confusion then outraged.
"What's wrong with your eyes, lady? We're not mices, we're people!" Josette told Cinderella as she scowled darkly at Cinderella for calling her and Ventus mices.
"Jag, why don't you help in explaining things to them both?" Cinderella told Jag before she lowered and placed the trap back down onto the floor (which nearly causes both Ventus and Josette to lost their balance) then she kneel down and watched while Jag walked through the opened lid of the trap toward both Ventus and Josette and stopped in front of them.
"Now, now, now. Look, little guy and girl. Take it easy. Nothing to worry about. We like you two." said Jag in a reassuring tone of voice to both Ventus and Josette.
"Ven, it's a walking and talking mouse." whisper Josette in a surprise tone of voice to Ventus.
"Yeah, I know, Jo." Ventus whisper back to her, surprise as well.
"Cinderella likes you two too. She's a nice lady, very nice." Jag resumed saying/telling both Ventus and Josette before he turned and raised his head to glance up at Cinderella through the bars of the trap (while she glance and smiled silently down at them), same goes for both Ventus and Josette. Jag then glance away from Cinderella to glance back at them. "Come on now, you two. Zugk-zugk." Jag told both Ventus and Josette before he turned and began to walked toward the opened lid of the trap and walked out of it, with both Ventus and Josette following closely behind him and they walked through the opened lid and out of the trap as well.
"My name is Jag." said Jag as he turned around and introduced himself to both Ventus and Josette.
"Hi, Jag. I'm Ventus. Call me Ven. And this is my friend, Josette, but you can call her Jo." said Ventus as he introduced himself and Josette to Jag.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Jag. And you too, Cinderella." said Josette as she smiled at Jag then at Cinderella.
"It's nice to meet you two as well, Ven, Jo." said Cinderella.
"Okay, Ven, Jo. Need something? Ask Jag!" Jag told both Ventus and Josette, who nodded their heads to him.
"Cinderella!" the voice of a woman suddenly called out to Cinderella through the opened door of the living room, which caused Cinderella to let out a small sigh and her shoulders drooped a little when she heard the woman calling for her.
"Oh well, time for me to get to my chores. I'll see you two in a little while, Ven, Jo." said Cinderella to both Ventus and Josette before she stood up, turned to her left and began to walked toward the door and leave the room.
"Wow, I guess she's got her hands full." said Ventus.
"Yep, Ven, work, work, work! Stepmother keeps Cinderella busy all day!" said Jag as he turned around to glance and nodded his head to Ventus.
"Is that so?" said Josette as she glance at the opened door which Cinderella just walked through with a frown look on her face.
"She didn't seem to mind much, though." said Ventus.
"No, not Cinderella. She works hard. She's got a dream- a big dream. The dream's gonna come true!" Jag told both Ventus and Josette.
"A big dream that will come true for her, huh?" said Josette with a small smile on her face.
"That sounds like somebody that Jo and I know." said Ventus with a small smile on his face as well before both he and Josette glance at each other as they briefly remember back on 1 of their memories about Terra.
XXXX
Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about.

After both Ventus and Josette briefly remember that certain memory about Terra, Ventus then turned to glance at Jag and began asking him a question. "Hey, maybe you can help me and Jo find him, Jag! His name's Terra and he travelling with a girl named Kallima. Have you seen them both?"
"Eh, no, Ven. I never saw Terra or Kallima before." replied Jag as he turned to glance at Ventus before he lowered his head a little.
"Oh, well. It was worth a shot." said Ventus before he sighed in disappointment and glance away from Jag.
"Don't be so disappointed, Ven. I'm sure that we'll see Terra soon and also see and met this Kallima girl which Terra is travelling with." said Josette in a soft/reassuring tone of voice to Ventus.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, Jo." said Ventus as he glance and smiled at her.
"Come on. Follow me, you two. You two gotta see the house." Jag told both Ventus and Josette before he turned away from them and began to walked toward the mouse hole at the bottom of the wall several feet away next to the tall and semi-large wooden cabinet.
"H-Hey!" said Ventus.
"Wait for us, Jag!" said Josette as well before both she and Ventus followed swiftly behind Jag toward the mouse hole, went through and into it before they turned to their left and walked down the floor past the tall and huge dull blue-coloured walls on both sides of them, climbed up several huge dull blue-coloured stones leaning in the right corner of the wall until they reached the top of the wooden floor (while both Ventus and Josette summoned forth their keyblades to fight/defeat the Floods, Scrappers, Bruisers and Red Hot Chili Unverseds (which also surprises them when they saw that the Unverseds were also as small as them) along the way) then they walked down the floor, went through another mouse hole and found themselves inside Cinderella's room before Jag lead them across the wooden floor toward the large wooden bench near the opened window and they climbed up the wooden bench until they reached and stand at the opened window and they glance at the distance large and brightly lit, pale blue-coloured castle.
"What's that building over there?" Ventus asked Jag.
"Oh, come on, Ven. Can't you tell? That building is a castle." said Josette as she sighed at Ventus (which caused him to scowled at her).
"Yep, Jo's right, Ven. That's the palace- the King's palace." Jag told Ventus while he nodded to Josette. "There's going to be a big ball there tonight."
"A big ball, huh? Sounds like fun." said Josette with a smile on her face.
"I see. Is Cinderella going to the ball tonight, Jag?" Ventus asked Jag.
"I don't know, Ven…" said Jag before he let out a sad sigh.
Suddenly, Ventus, Josette and Jag heard the sound of the door opening behind them and when all 3 of them turned around to see who is it, they saw Cinderella closed the door behind her, walked into the room before she glance and smiled at them.
"Hello, you three. Have you become friends already?" Cinderella asked them.
Ventus, Josette and Jag turned to look away from Cinderella, look at each other and they nodded their heads in unison before they glance back at Cinderella.
"Oh, that's wonderful, you three." said Cinderella in a happy tone of voice to Ventus, Josette and Jag before she started humming while slowly taking a black-coloured wooden mannequin wearing a short sleeve pink-coloured shirt with a long, floor-length white-coloured skirt and a pink ribbon wrapped firmly around the waist of the dress out of the cupboard and lowering it on the floor before she began working on the dress.
"That's a really pretty dress you have, Cinderella." Josette told Cinderella.
"Why, thank you for your nice compliment about the dress, Jo." said Cinderella happily to Josette without looking at her.
"You sure do look happy, Cinderella." said Ventus.
"Mm, you're right, Ven. Because I'm going to the royal ball tonight." said Cinderella as she turned around to glance at Ventus, Josette and Jag before she sighed dreamily. "I guess dreams really do come true."
"Cinderella!" the same woman's voice suddenly called loudly out to her through the closed door of her room and Cinderella turned to glance at the door while letting out another sigh.
"Looks like my dress will have to wait." said Cinderella in a dismay tone of voice to herself before 2 more unfamiliar, younger women voices calling loudly out to her through the closed door as well. "All right, all right, I'm coming!" Cinderella called back to the 2 younger women voices calling for her before she walked toward the door, opened and closed it behind her and leave the room.
"Poor Cinderella… She's not going to the ball." said Jag sadly to both Ventus and Josette.
"Why not?" asked Ventus as he glance at Jag with a clueless look on his face.
"Most probably because of those women who always called for her to do things, Ven. Isn't it, Jag?" Josette told Ven before she asked Jag.
"Yep, you're right, Jo. They'll fix her. Work, work, work. She'll never get her dress done." said Jag sadly to both Ventus (who glance at the dress with a sad/sympathetic look on his face) and Josette (who crossed her arms over her chest as she began thinking in silence before she got an idea).
"Hey, I think I've an idea on how to help her out, Ven, Jag. Why don't we help fix her dress for her?" Josette told both Ventus and Jag her idea.
"That's a really good idea, Jo!" said Jag as he grinned widely and nodded his head slightly vigorously at Josette (who smiled back at him).
"Huh, we will, Jo? Are you serious?" said Ventus as he glance at Josette with a surprise look on his face.
"Of course I'm serious, Ven! Don't you want to help in making Cinderella's dream come true?" Josette told Ventus (who crossed his arms over his chest in silence for the next 6 seconds before he uncrossed his arms and nodded to Josette).
"Yeah, you're right, Jo. Alright then, let's help fix Cinderella's dress for her." Ventus told Josette (who smiled at him) before he glance at Jag. "So what do we need to get for the dress, Jag?" Ventus asked Jag.
"You and Jo can look around the house. There are lots of pretty things lying around." replied Jag.
"Alright, Jag. We got it." said Josette.
"Yeah, both Jo and I will leave to find whatever we need. Jag, you get things set and ready up here." said Ventus.
"Zugk, zugk! Ven, Jo!" said Jag to both Ventus and Josette (who nodded to him) before he watched them turned and jumped from the wooden bench and landed safely on the floor. "Oh and Ven, Jo! Be careful of Lucifer!" Jag warned them both.
"… Huh?" said Josette as she turned around and glance up at Jag in confusion.
"Roos-sa-fee?" said Ventus as he turned around and glance up at Jag in confusion as well.
"Lucifer is a cat! He's very mean… sneaky… He'll jump at you, bite at you! So watch out!" Jag warned them both for the second time.
"Gotcha, Jag." said Ventus as he nodded to Jag.
"We'll be careful and watch ourselves." Josette told Jag as she nodded to him as well before both she and Ventus turned and run across the floor toward the mouse hole, run through the mouse hole and into the tall inner wall of the house, run to the edge of the inner wooden floor, jumped down the stones one by one until they landed safely on the floor then they run across the floor past the tall walls on both sides of them until they reached and run out of the mouse hole and back inside the large living room.
After both Ventus and Josette run out of the mouse hole and into the large living room, they decided to split up to search for the necessary clothing items for Cinderella's dress in the living room and Ventus managed to find and get a length of soft pink-coloured fabric lying on the floor near a pile of discarded dresses before he spotted, run toward and climbed up the maroon-coloured couch to get the pretty piece of white-coloured lace lying on it while Josette had to run toward and climbed up two huge and thick green and red-coloured books to get the pretty white-coloured sash lying at the top of the books after she saw it before she turned around, saw a single white-coloured button lying on the wooden dresser cabinet near the books she's standing on and she immediately jumped from the books over to the wooden dresser cabinet easily to get the button before she jumped down from the dresser cabinet, landed safely on the floor and regroup with Ventus before they take another look at the room around them, saw the final clothing item (which is a spool of pink-coloured thread) lying on the floor under the tall table near the door and they swiftly make their way toward the pink-coloured thread and Josette take it before both she and Ventus turned around, swiftly make their way toward the mouse hole, went through and into it and they make their way back into Cinderella's room where Jag is waiting patiently for them both near the bottom of the dress and they handed the 5 clothing items which they saw and obtain in the living room over to him.
"Yes, very good, Ven, Jo! These 5 items are exactly what Cinderella's dress needs!" said Jag in a happy/approving tone of voice to both Ventus and Josette as he look at each of the 5 clothing items that they obtained and handed over to him. "But there's still one more missing item."
"One more missing item? Like what, Jag?" asked Josette.
"It still needs a pretty pearl." replied Jag.
"Alright, leave it to us, Jag." said Ventus as he and Josette nodded to Jag before they turned around and run across the floor toward the mouse hole again.

Back in the living room…
After both Ventus and Josette walked out of the mouse hole and into the living room for the second time to search for the pearl, they quickly hide themselves behind the leg of a wooden table nearby them when they saw a large, black cat sleeping soundly on the floor in the middle of the room.
"That must be the Roos-sa-fee, I mean, the Lucifer cat that Jag warned us about, Ven." Josette whisper to Ventus.
"Yeah, Jo. And look over there in front of it, that must be the pearl that Jag wanted us to get." Ventus whisper back to Josette as he raised and pointed a finger at the round-shaped, greenish-blue coloured pearl lying on the floor near the sleeping cat. "I'll go and get the pearl quietly, Jo. You stay here." Ventus whisper/told Josette.
"Alright, Ven. Be careful." Josette whisper back to him.
Ventus glance and nodded to her before he quietly walked out from his hiding spot behind the table leg and away from Josette, tip-toeing his way across the floor toward the sleeping cat, stopped in his tracks in front of it and he raised and briefly waved his left hand in front of the cat's sleeping face and didn't received any response. Seeing that the cat is still asleep, Ventus swiftly and quietly picked the pearl up from the floor, turned around and began to tip-toe back the way he came from just as Lucifer opened it's eyes (which is green-coloured and quite sinister-looking), saw Ventus tip-toeing away from it and it quietly get up and raised it's left paw high above Ventus in preparation to strike him down (which caused Josette to gasped and widen her eyes in fear/panic).
"Ven! Watch out! Behind you!" Josette cried out to Ventus.
"Huh?" said Ventus before he raised his head to look behind him, gasped and quickly dodged to his right just as Lucifer slammed it's paw down on the previous spot that he's tip-toeing on. After Lucifer failed to strike Ventus's down, it then turned to glared and hissed at Ventus before it raised it's paw above him in preparation for another strike.
"Ven!" Jag's voice suddenly cried out to Ventus from above the dresser cabinet, causing Ventus, Josette and Lucifer to raised their heads to glance up at Jag and they saw him standing on the dresser cabinet and holding a dark blue-coloured ball of yarn above his head (while several more different colour ball of yarns were behind him) before he threw the ball of yarn toward Lucifer and it knock and bounce off the Lucifer's forehead, causing Lucifer to let out a small meowing sound of surprise.
"Hurry, Ven! Run over here now!" said Josette as she raised and waved her right hand frantically at Ventus to tell him to hurry and Ventus quickly run toward her while Jag grab and threw the ball of yarns one by one at Lucifer, who immediately run around the room to avoid getting hit by the ball of yarns that Jag is throwing at it before Lucifer run toward and rammed it's body against the dresser cabinet that Jag's standing on, causing him to lose his balance, fell off the edge and landed face-first on the floor.
"Oh no, Jag!" said Josette in a worry tone of voice when she (and Ventus) saw him fell from the dresser cabinet and landed on the floor.
"Ooh, that hurt…" said Jag as he slowly sat up from the floor and rubbed his rear for a few seconds before he raised his head to look up and saw that Lucifer had raised it's paw in preparation to strike him down and he cried out in fear before he closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands.
Both Ventus and Josette immediately summoned forth their Wayward Wind and Helianthus keyblades, charge toward and got between Lucifer and Jag and they swung and slammed their keyblades against Lucifer's paw to knock it's paw away. Lucifer hissed and shook it's slightly bruised paw for a short while before it glared at both Ventus and Josette for interfering.
"We won't let you hurt Jag!" Josette snapped at Lucifer.
"That's right! Time to play, cat!" snapped Ventus as he brandish his keyblade in front of him in confidence.
"Ven! Jo!" said Jag in a relieved/grateful tone of voice from behind Ventus and Josette after he lowered his hands and opened his eyes and see them standing in front of him.
"Jag, take the pearl and run to the mousehole now!" Josette told Jag without looking back at him.
"Jo's right, Jag! We'll hold him off, go now!" said Ventus as he holds the pearl behind his back and handed it to Jag.
"Okay, Ven, Jo!" said Jag as he take the pearl from Ventus, turned to his left and run toward the mouse hole with the pearl in his hands, leaving both Ventus and Josette behind to deal with Lucifer.
Lucifer hissed at Ventus and Josette before it raised it's left paw above it's head and swung it's paw down on them to strike them down, but both Ventus and Josette quickly dodge roll to their left and right to avoid getting themselves smack by Lucifer's paw. After they dodge roll away from Lucifer's paw attack, Ventus jumped onto Lucifer's back and he landed a series of hard strikes and slashes on it's back while Josette hold out her keyblade in front of her to cast a series of Fire and Blizzard magic attacks at Lucifer's face, body and legs. Lucifer hissed and yowled quite loudly in anger and pain from Ventus attacking on it's back and Josette casting magic attacks at it's entire body before Lucifer started running wildly around the room to try to throw Ventus off it's back (which caused Ventus to ceased his attacks and he quickly grabbed hold of Lucifer's black furs tightly to avoid falling down from it's back) and Josette ceased her magic attacks to run and dodge away from Lucifer's wild running around the room until Lucifer crashed himself hard against the dresser cabinet and it lie on the floor with it's eyes rolling around in a daze. The impact of Lucifer's crashing hard against the dresser cabinet caused Ventus to let go of his tight grip on Lucifer's furs and he fell down from Lucifer's back, crashed on Josette (which cause her to cried out in surprise and pain) and they fell with a hard, painful thud on the floor.
"Ow, Ven. Again?" groaned Josette in an annoy/pained tone of voice to Ventus.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Jo! Here, let me help you up!" said Ventus in a worry tone of voice to Josette before he quickly got off her, stand up then hold out his right hand to Josette (who clasped her hand in his before he help her stand up and she raised her keyblade above them both to cast Cure on themselves to healed their bruised wounds).
"It's fine, Ven. Come on, let's take this cat down!" Josette told Ventus (who nodded to her) before they turned and charge toward Lucifer (who's no longer in a daze) and landed more strikes, slashes and magic attacks on it. Lucifer let out another loud hiss and yowl of anger/pain from Ventus and Josette's attacks before it turned and run toward the door and out of the living room, away from them both. Once both Ventus and Josette saw that Lucifer had run out of the room, they dismissed their keyblades just as Jag came walking out of the mouse hole, approach and stopped in his tracks near them both.
"Oh, that's a big "thank you", you two." said Jag in a thankful tone of voice to both Ventus and Josette.
"No thanks needed, Jag. You saved us before, so we'll saved you." said Ventus.
"Yeah, Ven's right, Jag. After all, that's what friends do, isn't it?" said Josette.
"Zugk zugk! Ven, Jo and Jag are good friends!" said Jag as he smiled at them.
"Yeah, good friends." said Josette, smiling back at Jag.
"Now, let's head back to Cinderella's room and get that dress finished, Jo, Jag." said Ventus to both Josette and Jag (who nodded to him) before they turned and run toward the mouse hole.

An hour later…
After Cinderella's done in doing her chores, she came back into her room, walked toward and sat down on the wooden bench near the window.
"Oh, well… what's a royal ball? After all, I suppose it would be frightfully dull and boring… and completely… completely wonderful." said Cinderella in a sad tone of voice to herself before she propped her chin on the palm of her left hand and glance at the distance castle with a longing look on her face.
"Hey, Cinderella! We've a surprise for you!" Josette called out to her from the floor near her feet and Cinderella turned and lowered her head to glance down at Josette.
"A surprise for me, Jo?" said Cinderella in a confused tone of voice to Josette.
"Yes, take a look over there!" said Josette with a nod of her head to Cinderella before she raised and pointed her finger at the direction of the cupboard and Cinderella look at the cupboard which Josette is pointing at and she saw both Ventus and Jag opening the cupboard doors to reveal her completed dress.
"Oh my. Is that my dress?" gasped Cinderella with a surprise look on her face.
"Yes. It's a present from all 3 of us, Cinderella." said Ventus before Jag nodded to Cinderella.
"Now you have a pretty dress to wear for the ball, Cinderella." Josette told Cinderella before she kneel down and lowered her right hand in front of Josette for her to walked onto her hand before Cinderella stood up, walked toward and kneel down and lowered her left hand in front of both Ventus and Jag for them to walked onto her hand before she raises them up near her face.
"Why, it's… it's such a surprise…" said Cinderella.
"Hurry! Time to go, Cinderella!" said Jag.
"Yeah, you should hurry and go to the ball now!" said Josette.
"Oh, thank you, all 3 of you." said Cinderella in a grateful/thankful tone of voice to Ventus, Josette and Jag.
XXXX
A few minutes later…
After Cinderella change out of her clothes, put on her dress and leave the room to head for the ball, Ventus, Josette and Jag decided to climbed up the wooden bench and sat on the wooden edge of the opened window and glance at the distance castle.
"I hope Cinderella's dream come true." Jag told both Ventus and Josette.
"I hope so too, Jag." said Josette with a small nod of her head.
"What about you two, Ven, Jo? What are both of your dreams?" asked Jag as he turned to glance at them.
"Huh, our dreams?... I wonder…" said Ventus as he glance at Jag for a few seconds then glance away from him to glance up at the starlit night sky before he had a second brief memory flashback about Terra (same goes for Josette as well).
XXXX
Being a Keyblade Master is all I've dreamed about.
Well, you're not the only one, Terra.
I know, Aqua. You, me, Ven, Beau and Jo all share the same dream.
XXXX
"Funny… I'd never really thought about it- at least until you asked and say it to me, Jag." said Ventus to Jag before he hold out his right hand in front of him to summoned forth his Wayward Wind keyblade. "My dream is to become a Keyblade Master." added Ventus.
"It's not just your dream, Ven. It's our dream." said Josette.
"I hope that yours and Jo's dream comes true, too." said Jag as he glance at them both.
"Thanks, Jag." said Josette as she smiled at Jag.
"We just need to keep on believing, right, Jag?" asked Ventus as he dismissed his keyblade and glance at Jag.
"Right, Ven." replied Jag with a nod of his head before the 3 of them turned their heads to resumed looking at the castle under the starlit night sky.
