Meeting : Chapter Thirteen
( "Well, look what the Gummi Ship dragged in!" )

¤

"So when I found you and Rachelle gone, I was worried. I tried calling your house but your sister answered, and when I asked her if she knew where you were, she started freaking out… Anyways, I was just about to leave Rachelle's place to go to the police—"

"How do you think the police would have helped?" Interrupted Alexis, raising her eyebrows. Michael shrugged.

"—but then this very weird green and purple cloud-aura thing started floating around the TV, and these words appeared on the screen—"

"Were they white and kind of fancy-looking?" Alexis called out again, eyes widening in excitement. The ebony-haired boy scowled this time.

"Stop interrupting me, would ya?" The girl recoiled slightly from the words, now staring at him in slight awe. "Anyways, as I was saying – these words appeared on the television, and I can't really remember what they were, but it was a question, saying 'Do you wish to find your friends?'." Michael paused. "And of course, I did, so when the words 'YES' and 'NO' appeared there and the Playstation controller glowed, I chose 'YES'…" He trailed off, staring at the ground before continuing again.

"Next thing I know, I was standing in the Castle Chapel, with Lady Maleficent—"

Alexis's eyes narrowed, and she hissed more to herself more than to her companion. "Since when has she been called 'Lady'?"

Apparently not hearing, the boy went on with his story. "—and she made an offer to me: she could help me find you and Rachelle, or I could go back to our world."

"And you chose to accept her help?" Ended the blonde, a frown tugging at the edge of her lips. Michael nodded. "But what did she want in return?"

He laughed, as if the fact was nonsense. "Lady Maleficent? Why, she wanted nothing. In fact, she gave me power!" He took out the large sword strapped across his back excitedly and laid it flat on the ground. "This sword, Onyx Shadow, she gave it to me so I could protect you two!"

The frown became apparent on her face as she held the sword to further examine it. The name Onyx Shadow fit it well; the handle was thin and long, with many curving designs that felt odd in her hands, and the blade began with two sharp dagger-like points on both sides of the handle. The blade itself was ¼ longer than the handle, and bore the same designs in the center, as the outside was left blank.

True to its name, the sword was complete black, with dark parts of grey here and there.

Alexis handed Onyx Shadow back to its owner, who in turn strapped it onto his back again. "But how about the time when I first saw you? You were completely covered in blood."

Michael waved away her question nonchalantly. "I was just doing some training." Alexis was just about to exclaim on the topic of what kind of training he was doing, when the door opened and Riku stepped in partway, his lower body-half still outside.

"Maleficent wants to see you, Michael." He said emotionlessly, leaning fully on the door as the teen stood up and dusted himself off.

"I'll see you later, Alexis!" Michael called back cheerily, smiling and nodding at Riku as he passed, fully disappearing in the darkness of the hall a few minutes later. His footsteps echoed loudly as the Riku shut the door, going to sit on his bed and watching Alexis on the floor out of the corners of his eyes.

"So how was it?" He asked, leaning against some of the pillows and cocking his head curiously. Alexis shrugged but kept silent, causing a frown to settle on the silver-haired boy's lips. "So he's not locked up after all?"

The blonde shook her head. "No. Turns out that he's been staying in a part of the castle the whole time." She paused, leaning her head on the bed behind her as she sat back. "But why would Maleficent tell me he's kept up prisoner?"

"Maybe she wanted you to think that so you would do what they said," he put in, playing with some of the strings coming off at the edges of the blanket. "After all, you did do just that."

"And he called her 'Lady Maleficent', Riku," Suddenly said Alexis, her words slicing through the silence that had just settled. "Since when has Michael – or anyone else, for that matter – called her that?" She clutched at the blanket out of frustration. "What did Maleficent do to him? What kind of 'power' did she freaking give him?"

Riku remained silent, watching the waterfalls outside of the window.

"We're all just puppets in her plan, aren't we?"

He looked at Alexis curiously, but shrugged and smiled bitterly. "Yeah, I guess we are."

"Are you scared?" He frowned.

"Maybe, maybe not." The teen said, avoiding the answer. Alexis remained staring blankly at the ceiling for a few more seconds before turning to look at her companion.

"You know that little voice in your head that tells you everything is going wrong?"

"Fear?"

She nodded. "I can't hear it anymore, Riku. Fore some reason, it's not there."

¤

"DODGE, DAMNIT!" Screeched Rachelle, yanking the steering wheel out of Donald's hands and turning it sharply to the left, causing their ship to barely avoid the on-coming meteor rock.

"What was that for!" Yelled Donald in return, grabbing the wheel back and glaring at the brunette.

"What do you mean 'what was that for'!?" She cried, looking at him with wide eyes. "We were almost made pancake by that rock!" She made motioning figures with her hands, clapping them together in the end loudly. "KA-BOOM-pancake!"

"Uhm, Rachelle?" She turned wildly at the mention of her name, but settled down when she saw Sora standing nervously behind her.

"Yeah?" She asked, running her fingers through her hair and leaning back on the control panel in attempt to fully cool down.

"Are you okay?" The boy asked, looking at her curiously. "I mean," he continued, "Just five minutes ago you were almost full-out crying, then you were yelling like mad at Donald, and now you look calm…" He gulped visibly, rubbing the back of his neck. "Are you, by any chance, um, going through that thing girls through?" He ended weakly, stuttering in some parts of the sentence.

Rachelle stared at him for a few seconds before laughing loudly. "So you're not as clueless as you appear to be!" She looked at him questioningly. "But how do you know about that?"

Sora shrugged, still looking nervous. "Kairi used to just randomly go through mood cycles, so one day we asked her…" He laughed slightly then smiled sheepishly. "So, yeah."

Nodding, the brunette mage continued watching Sora. "So, tell me more about Kairi Riku. I mean, I don't know that much about them and all." She sat down on one of the chairs and Sora followed her example by sitting beside her and tapping his chin in thought.

"Well… We were all best friends," He started. "I knew Riku since I was very little, and then we found Kairi washed up on the beach, and all three of us became friends…" Sora shrugged, putting his hands behind his head in the usual Sora position. "But lately, Riku began telling us his thoughts on all the other worlds – you heard him that evening, right?" Rachelle nodded and he continued. "So we decided to build a raft and sail to all the others worlds out there, and find Kairi's home."

He grinned. "And that's where you an Alexis came in."

"But how were you planning to survive in the middle of the ocean? And you couldn't have been fully sure there were worlds out there – and now you know that the only way to get to them in by Gummi Ship." Rachelle paused in her musings. "What would you have done?"

Sora groaned good-naturedly. "I don't know," He admitted. "Probably would have tried to get back, I guess. But that didn't happen, cause we're here not." He grinned again and leaned back on his chair.

"Alexis, Michael and I…" He looked curiously at Rachelle beside him as she quietly started. "We were best friends since kindergarten, too. We went through that, elementary school and middle school together." She paused in thought. "We were going into high school after the summer break, and it was just a few weeks after Alexis's birthday – it was in April – and Michael was supposed to come to my house with Alexis—"

Rachelle shook her head and grinned at Sora. "And we ended up being on your island."

"But how did you get there?" Asked Sora, his blue eyes wide in wonder. Rachelle laughed nervously.

"We-lll…"

"We're approaching Traverse Town, ha-yuck!"

Mentally thanking Goofy for interrupting their conversation as she was not yet sure as to tell Sora the complete truth or not, the brunette shot up from her seat.

"Great!" She exclaimed, bouncing towards hatch. "We can restock on Potions and we can ask Cid for a new blueprint!"

Laughing, Sora went out behind her as Donald and Goofy secured the ship at the Gummi Port before exiting out as well.

"Cid's still in the Accessory Shop, right?" Asked Donald as they stood in the First District, observing the few people milling around. Nodding and casting a sarcastic look at the duck Rachelle started off towards the flashing building at the top.

"Of course. Where else could he be?" She said, walking around a Moogle wearing a hole in the cement ground by going around in circles seemingly in thought.

"My friends live on the second floor of the Accessory Shop, kupo! They can make cool items, kupo!" He suddenly called out, receiving weird looks from the group. Shrugging to themselves, they continued.

"Well, look what the Gummi Ship dragged in!"

The four turned at the teasing voice, grinning as a happy Yuffie came bouncing up to them, her shuriken flailing widely in her hand. "Hi Yuffie!" Greeted Sora and Rachelle simultaneously while Goofy and Donald opted for waving.

"How're you been?" She asked, stopping in front of them and smiling widely.

"We've been to three different worlds already!" Said Sora proudly, grinning and putting his hands behind his head. "And so far, we've managed to defeat all of the Heartless there!"

Laughing, Rachelle pushed him slightly causing him to wobble. "Stop bragging!" She called teasingly before looking at Yuffie again. "Hey, Cid's still in the shop, right?"

The ninja nodded, twirling a few ninja stars in her fingers. "Yep! Now, if you don't mind me, I hafta go clean out the Third District of the Heartless." She made a face before skipping back and waving cheerily over her shoulder. "It was nice seeing you guys again!"

"Same here!" Called Rachelle, grinning. Shaking her head, she smiled at the trio. "Now, let's go see Cid!" They followed her as she happily made her way up the stairs and threw open the door, causing the man at the counter to curse violently at the action.

"Hiya gramps!" Yelled Sora running over to the counter, all the while grinning. Rachelle followed close behind him, an identical grin on her own face.

"Eh, it's you kids again." Cid grunted, chewing on the stick in his mouth. "What da ya need?"

"Well," Started the brunette girl sweetly. "We were wondering if you knew where we could find a new Gummi Ship, or anybody with a blueprint that could make us one!"

Cid snorted and put his hands on his hip, examining the two before him. "Why do you need a new Ship?"

Sora pouted childishly. "Ours is too small!" He whined and the girl nodded beside him, while Donald and Goofy made themselves comfortable on the couches.

The man frowned and thought for a few seconds. "I suppose I could make you a new Ship, but—" He held up his hand to stop the two teenagers from exclaiming happily. "But, I'll need you to deliver this book here first." He reached under the counter and held up a beat-up book, placing it on the surface carefully.

"It was completely destroyed when the guy brought it, but I managed to fix it up somewhat," He stated proudly as Sora snatched it up. "Deliver it to the guy – he lives past the door with the Fire symbol on the door at the Third District. " He scowled as the Keyblade bearer carelessly tucked it under his arm before running towards the door.

A sudden shock shook the ground, accompanied by a loud 'boing' sounds, startling the occupants of the room out of their wits.

"What was that?" Questioned Sora once it was over, peeking outside curiously. Cid shrugged.

"Probably the bell above the Gizmo Shop. You can check it out, but after you deliver that book! –And be careful with it, kid!"

Laughing at the words, Sora nodded and waved before disappearing back into First District.

"So… that door there leads to the Third District, right?" He asked, walking southwest towards the large doors.

"But they're closed!" Sulked Rachelle, kicking them slightly. "Ow!" She cried and bounced on one foot, going around in a circle.

"Maybe you should try that Keyhole over there!" Suggested Goofy suddenly, pointing towards the keyhole-like lock on the side. Shrugging, Sora took out his Keyblade and balancing it with the book still under his right hand, pointed it at the lock. Not surprisingly, a white beam shot out of the tip and straight into the keyhole.

"Well, that settles it!" Said Rachelle as a clicking sound was heard. Putting back down her foot, she slightly wobbled over to the doors and pushed them open. "Sweet!" She called as she found herself standing in the Third District.

"That Keyblade of yours is quite useful!" She said jokingly as Sora came to stand beside her, accompanied by Donald and Goofy. He laughed and stuck out his tongue at her.

"Where's that door Cid was talking about?" He questioned after a few seconds of looking around. Donald pointed out back towards the ramp.

"There was one there!" He squawked before running off, Goofy following him.

"Waiit for us!" Cried Rachelle, running as well. "We have the book, you know!"

"Fire!"

The two teenagers stopped to catch their breath slightly as Donald fired a spell at the door, causing it to flare up and slide open. The inside revealed to be dark and murky, not revealing much to the eye from the outside.

Shrugging to themselves, the group stepped in, wincing slightly as the damp air hit them.

"Who lives here?" Questioned Rachelle, walking over to the slightly green water and scrunching up her nose in disgust at the sight of it.

"Only one way to find out, right?" Called Sora, jumping over to one of the rocks.

SPLASH.

Spluttering, he came back up to the surface, glaring at his laughing companions. "They move!" He whined, dodging the rock he was previously trying to get on. Swimming over to the land, he stood up and shook his head to get rid of the water.

"Do those things react to motion or something?" Said Rachelle suddenly, picking up a nearby little rock and chucking it in front of her. She whistled slightly when the second tock slab moved. "Woo! I'm smart!" She cried, jumping over to the first rock and flailing around her arms to catch her balance.

"Get some more rocks!" She called back to the group as they each picked up a few, jumping beside the brunette girl.

"And off we go!" Exclaimed Sora, jumping to the second platform. Rachelle came up behind him and almost got them both in the water by grabbing onto his shirt to keep her balance. Smiling cheekily at him, she waited until Donald and Goofy came up beside them.

"Now throw some of the rocks ahead of you!" She commanded, feeling much like an army general. Grinning when the next two slabs moved as well, she jumped over them and stood in front of the final one.

"Land ahoy, mates!" She cried and pretending to look out with a hand over her eyes, imitating a captain.

"You're having too much fun with this," teased Sora as he jumped beside her, looking over at her in amusement. Rachelle nodded happily and turned back to Donald and Goofy.

"Rocks away!" Donald scowled, crossing his arms.

"What are we, your slaves?" He asked angrily, huffing.

"No, but unless you want to end up in that water," Rachelle pointed towards the infected-looking water, "I suggest you throw more rocks!"

Still angry, Donald mumbled some stuff and jumped over to his companions with Goofy, chucking another rock at the final slab. The group jumped onto it and from there to the land, watching the rocks behind them in satisfaction.

"So," started Rachelle, looking back at the little house. "Like I said earlier – I wonder who lives here." Sora shrugged and walked up the stairs, tapping on the boarded up door.

"Um, hello?" He called loudly. "Anybody home?"

"Their door is boarded up, dummy." Said the brunette girl, walking up beside him. "That usually means that they don't want any visitors."

"Well, then why would Cid send us here?" Asked Sora, walking around the outside of the house, looking for any way to get it. He sighed and leaned against a wall when he finished. "HEY!" He exclaimed suddenly as the wall behind fell back, dragging him along with it.

"Sora, that was a curtain," said Rachelle dryly, helping the boy up and looking around their surroundings. "There doesn't seem to be anyone here…" She said after a few minutes, walking over to the center of the room. "We should get back to Cid… Sora?" She turned when she got no response.

"Sora?" Asked Goofy, watching as the boy stared in shock at one of the corners. Shaking his head and turning to grin at them, Sora put his hands behind his head.

"Are you okay?" Asked Rachelle suspiciously. Sora nodded and smiled at her.

"Sure, why wouldn't I be?"

Shrugging, the brunette rolled her eyes. "You were—"

"My, you arrived earlier than I expected!"

The four turned in surprise at the voice as an old, thin man with a white beard and a blue coat on came in, smiling at them.

"Are you a Heartless?" Questioned Sora, but his tone of voice said that he didn't really believe it.

"Me? A Heartless?" The man laughed heartily. "Oh my, no. My name is Merlin," he turned to Goofy and Donald. "Your king asked me to help you."

The duck's and the dog's eyes widened to the size of saucer plates. "King Mickey!?" They exclaimed loudly, guffawing.

Merlin nodded and walked over to the center of the room, only stopping when he spotted Rachelle looking at him curiously. "And who might you be?" He asked.

Rachelle smiled and waved slightly. "I'm Rachelle," she introduced herself, following Merlin with her eyes as he went up the stairs and put down his bag. "So, you're Merlin," she mused. Merlin nodded and looked at her curiously.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked again, taking out his wand. Rachelle nodded.

"I'd like to know if you know the name of my staff."

The wizard smiled and started waving his wand around. "Well then, just a minute, please!" He was slightly hopping from one foot to the other as several objects from the bag flew out and grew to their original size before settling around the room.

In a few minutes, the room was fully furnished and decorated, and a fire burned brightly somewhere. "Oh yes!" Exclaimed Merlin suddenly and turned to the little carriage sitting in the corner. "There is someone I want you to meet!"

The carriage flashed white for a few seconds before a grandmother-ly looking woman with white hair and a blue cloak appeared, smiling warmly. "Hello, dears. I am the Fairy Godmother, and your King asked me to help as well."

"So about the staff of yours," Merlin said, turning to face Rachelle. "May I see it?" She nodded and summoned it, holding it out for the wizard to examine.

"Mm… most interesting…" He mumbled, examining it from all angles. "And what have you been calling it all this time?"

Rachelle shrugged. "Shimmer, why?" Merlin put it back in the girl's hands, smiling guiltily.

"I'm afraid I don't know what it is called, my dear girl." Rachelle shrugged and smiled at him as she dismissed the staff.

"That's fine then, I guess. I've gotten used to calling it Shimmer, anyways." She smiled again and put her hands behind her back as Sora came up with the book.

"Cid asked us to deliver this to you…?" He said uncertainly as Merlin took the book happily.

"Ah, yes! I was afraid it wouldn't be able to get fixed; quite an interesting book, you see." He chuckled and walked over to a little podium beside the curtain. "It's not even mine, this book. It somehow found its way into my bag one day." He turned to the four and smiled. "I'll just leave it over here in case you want to have a read."

"Merlin, what did the King ask you to help us with?" Asked Sora, watching as the wizard went back to the table in the center with a teapot on it.

"Oh, yes, of course. I am to help you with your magic; so if you need any practice, feel free to ask me."

The party nodded and waved as they exited back out outside, but back in the room the Fairy Godmother frowned and looked at Merlin accusingly.

"Why did you not tell her the name of the staff?" She demanded, crossing her arms as Merlin shook his head and sighed.

"She does not need that burden on her right now," he explained slowly, sitting down in his chair and taking a sip of the tea.

"But she will find out sooner or later; you know that." Continued the Fairy, looking crossly at the wizard.

Merlin sighed again and nodded. "Yes, she will. But for now, we shall not worry about it." He held up another teapot. "Tea?"

¤

"I wonder how long it will take Cid to make us a Gummi," pondered Rachelle as they jumped from rock to rock towards the entrance.

"I'd say about a few days," suggested Sora as they made it to the land, wincing slightly from all the bright lights in the Third District as they entered it.

"A few days?" Cried Donald. "We are on a mission—"

"Woah!" Exclaimed Rachelle suddenly, interrupting the duck as two Soldier Heartless appeared in front of them. Summoning their weapons in a battle position, they were just about to strike—

—But the Heartless were destroyed into black wisps before they could even blink.

Sora's eyes widened as the silver-haired teen swung his sword around cockily, smirking at the group. "There you are! What's going on?"

"Riku!" Cried Sora happily and stumbled over to his best friend, putting his fingers in the boy's mouth and tugging them apart in a smile as the older boy swatted them away.

"Hey, hey, cut it out!"

"I'm not dreaming this time…" Said the brunette, looking over his friend. "Right?"

Riku smiled slightly and ran a hand through his hair. "I hope not. Took forever to find you."

Both boys laughed slightly, but Sora suddenly stopped and frowned. "Wait a second, where's Kairi?"

Riku tensed up for a few seconds and looked at the ground before looking back up at Sora. "Isn't she with you?" Sora hung his head in answer. "Well, don't worry," Riku continued. "I'm sure she made it off the island too." He walked past Sora and looked around the District.

"We're finally free," he said as in in awe, spreading out his hands to show his point. "Hey, she might be even looking for us now. We'll all be together again soon. Don't worry, just leave everything to me. I know this—"

A loud sound interrupted his little speech as Sora destroyed the Shadow Heartless behind his friend with a smirk.

"Leave it to who?" He asked teasingly, swinging his Keyblade behind his head.

"Sora," started Riku confusedly, walking over to him. "What did you--?"

"I've been looking for you," the brunette explained. "And Kairi too. With their help." Riku turned his attention towards Donald, Goofy and Rachelle. He nodded slightly at the brunette.

"Who are they?" Riku asked, referring towards the magician and the defender.

"Ahem," started Donald cockily. "My name is—"

"We've visited so many places and worlds, looking for you!" Sora interrupted him.

Riku smirked. "Really? Who would have known? I never would have guessed." He teased.

"Oh, guess what?" Suddenly said Goofy, putting his paw-like hands on Sora's shoulders. "Sora is the Keyblade Master."

"Who would have thought it," said Donald from beside them.

"What's that mean?" Exclaimed Sora, turning to glare at the duck.

"So… this is called a Keyblade?" Rachelle raised her eyebrows as she continued watching Riku swing the weapon around.

"Huh?" Sora looked at his hands in confusion, and once finding the Keyblade gone, looked back at Riku. "Hey! Give it back!" He ran towards the teen, but tripped on a rock and fell as Riku continued examining the Keyblade.

"Catch." He suddenly said blankly, throwing it towards the brunette boy.

"Whoa!" Mumbled Sora, stumbling slightly as the item made contact with his hands.

"So you're coming with us, right?" Piped up Rachelle as she came to stand beside him. Sora nodded.

"We've got this awesome rocket — wait till you see it!"

"No! He can't come!" They turned in shock at Donald's exclamation and Sora flinched.

"What!?" He cried, leaning down to look at the duck and stomping his foot.

"Forget it!" Protested Donald, glaring at him.

"Oh, come on!" Whined Sora. "He's my friend!"

"I don't care," said the magician slowly, crossing his arms.

Rachelle scowled, glaring daggers at the duck. Her scowl was replaced by a frown, though, as she turned at the light sound of footsteps behind her.

"Uh, guys?" She called to the arguing group, watching the shadows in the district for any movement. "He's gone."

"Riku?" Called out Sora, and Rachelle was humorously reminded of her encounter with Alexis.

"Nice going," Growled Sora, walking forward slightly and putting his hand behind his head. "Oh well. At least we know he's okay. And who knows, maybe we'll run into Kairi soon, too!"

Rachelle shrugged and rubbed one of her shoulder uncomfortably. "Something's not right," she mumbled to herself as their party continued on to find Cid. "Alexis appearing then disappearing, now Riku?" She groaned quietly. "I swear they're in this together…"

"Oh yeah!"

They turned at Sora's exclamation. "There's the Gizmo Shop bell, right? Why don't we check it out?"

"Sure. Cid can wait, I guess." Shrugged Rachelle, following the Keyblade Master as he walked towards the Second District door, his Keyblade swinging behind him.

¤

Alexis turned at the sound of the door opening as Riku came in, a frown etched onto his face.

"What's up?" She asked cheerily as he settled himself on his bed. "How did your meeting with Sora go?" She winced as Riku scowled. "Not good, eh?"

He shook his head. "He's apparently replaced me," the teen said bitterly, glaring at the floor.

Alexis frowned. "Replaced you? With who? –And who told you that?" She sighed when her roommate remained quiet and got up from where she was sitting on the floor, waling over to sit beside the boy. Touching his shoulder slightly, she asked again. "Who told you that?"

Riku smiled sheepishly. "Maleficent… but it's true!" He hung his head. "He's replaced me with those new friends of his."

"Rachie would never do that, Riku." The blonde said quietly from beside him, shaking his shoulder a little. "Come on, snap out of it. Do you think Sora would really do that?" She paused. "And even though I've known him for a few days and you've known him your whole life, I can already see that he's a bit… slow. I don't think he's fully understood what's happening yet." When Riku remained silent again, she pouted childishly.

"Come on, cheer up!" She cried, peering down to look at his face. "I'll glomp you if you don't!" She grinned when she saw the small smile on the teen's face and moved back on the bed. "You can't believe everything that old witch says!"

Riku shrugged and went to sit beside the girl. "How can you be so cheerful?" He asked teasingly and Alexis shrugged in answer.

"Just like you can be so calm and moody!" She said, poking his arm. Laughing, Riku rolled over and buried his head in the pillows.

"Now get off my bed," he said half-jokingly. "I'm tired and I want to sleep."

Alexis poked him in the arm one more time and grinned, jumping off and walking over to her own bed. "Okay, good night!"

¤

"Oh? What's this?" Antonia's pink eyes widened slightly as the glowing crystal flowed over closer to her. Opening her palm, she smiled slightly as the crystal seemingly twitched and shied away from her. "Fear, mm?" She gently cupped her hands over the pink heart shard as it trembled inside and walked quietly over to her desk where a glass jar stood. Dumping the shard lightly inside, she screwed the lid back on.

"Don't worry, Miss Alexis, I'll take good care of your Fear." She giggled as the light dimmed then grew bright again. "But, Miss Alexis, how will you live without Fear?"

a/n: whee. Long chapter. X3 I hope you enjoyed it and what do you guys think of the new summary? I'm adding Mystery as another genre.

And I am shying away from Rachelle to Alexis. –sighs- But she's just so fun to write about, with her being on the 'dark side' and all. But Rachelle is very important in the plot, so if there are any Rachelle Fans out there, you'll be happy to know that more Rachelle-based chapters will be coming in the future. –smiles-
