The making of this chapter was inspired by Lily's Theme from Harry Potter. Seriously, play it on repeat during this chapter.

Also, I would like to know what you guys think so please leave a review. If no reviews, I won't update. I like all the feedback I'm getting here.

Atlantica

Jackson and Jamie walked back into the room they all now share. Most were already asleep or were getting ready for bed. A few were missing, but he saw where they were earlier. One girl, Gratuity, was clutching a strange device with a screen that glowed. It looked like a memory was being displayed or something. The next bed over was PJ, if he remembered right. He was pretending to be asleep, no doubt going to be awake the rest of the night. At the end of the room he saw Jane and her brother Danny. She was tucking him in as she was telling a story with two socks, one red and the other green. Then he saw Peter standing on the balcony looking up at the stars in a daze, but his head was tilted back indicating that he was listening to the story. He was clutching his coat tightly and then sat down cross legged. Looking out the window, he could vaguely see stars shooting across the sky. Battle still fresh in his mind, he almost whimpered. Still?! Its still going on?!

Walking over to the bed, Jamie cradled his camera. Jackson sat down and patted his back soothingly. A little girl ran over and clutched his pants.

"Jack! Where'd you go?!" She started to cry. Jack quickly picked her up and she wrapped her arms around him as she settled in his lap.

"Hey, hey! Easy! I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."

She sniffed. "Promise?" She whispered.

He just held her closer. "Promise."

Jamie just sat there watching, peeking through his bangs.

"What's that?" Her voice startled him. "What is that?" She repeated.

"Uh... it's a camera. It um ... it records stuff." Stumbling over the word. "Wanna see?" She nodded. Jack smiled grateful for the distraction.

Jamie skootched over and Jack got comfy with his sister and Jamie on both sides. Jamie then took a minute trying to remember how to turn it on.

After a few minutes, Jamie started it at the beginning...

As Jane finished tucking in Danny, she looked up to see Lil Jack, Maxie and the Cricket quietly walk back in the room. Gratuity tiptoed over to the trio on the bed. Said trio were asleep in each others arms. Gratuity turned off the device and set it on the table next to Jamie.

Maxie led Lil Jack and the cricket over to PJ's bed. After some whispering, PJ skootched over and Maxie all but dragged Jack on the bed and settled behind him. The cricket had already hopped off Jack shoulder and landed on the next bed next to where Jane was. Jane pulled one of the smaller pillows down and flattened it on the bed. Jiminy watched as she also found a small cloth and folded it over the pillow like a blanket. Catching on, he smiled.

"Why thank you miss! I appreciate it." He hopped up on the small pillow and bowed.

Jane giggled and gave a small curtsy with her ruined purple nightgown. "You're welcome good sir." She then climbed in next to Danny with a sigh when he started fidgeting. Most likely the start of many nightmares to come. He quieted when he snuggled into her arms.

He chuckled and quickly settled in, turning over to watch his boys. The trio were whispering quietly with Jack in the middle. Before going to bed, he decided to take advantage of the bright moonlight and wrote in his journal about the day's events.

He stopped about halfway when he noticed the boy still on the balcony. Growing concerned, he bookmarked his spot and shut the journal before hopping over to him.

"Mighty chilly out here, would you like to come inside?" He looked up at the boy who startled and looked around. "Down here!" Blinking, the boy looked down and Jiminy looked shocked. "Peter?"

"Huh? Do I know you?"

"Wha..?"

Not only do they know each other from Captain Hooks Pirate ship, but also because He helped out as a Summon in his last adventure with the Organization. How could peter possibly forget? Also, its as if Peter hasn't aged a day now that he's looking. It also helps that Peter is actually staying still instead of flying around all over the place, which concerned him.

Peter looked back to the sky and stared at the stars.

"Never say goodbye." Peter whispered.

"Hm?"

Peter stood up and stretched. "Well I'm off to bed. Goodnight!"

He lazily waved before walking to the door and shutting it as Jiminy hastily hopped over to catch up. Shutting the door, Peter lowered his hand and Jiminy jumped on.

Walking over the pillow, Peter moved his hand level to the pillow. Standing between Darlings and Jiminy's bed, Peter looked away to the other side of the room. He whispered the rest softly. But it was almost as if he yelled it. Jiminy sagged, he could only stare in understanding. Picking up his journal, he gripped it and held it close. He wanted to cry.

Then Peter walked across the room to his bed and went to sleep without a word.

As the night came to a close, Thaddeus stood over the two boys fondly. They were sleeping over a table with various parts and fabrics for sails. The faint glow of the solar sails powered by a small battery Jim and Milo worked together to make. The glow was soft and soothing to the old man. Seeing the couch, he gently picked up the two , one at a time, and settled them on different ends of the long couch. He found a crate with blankets and tucked them in.

Deciding to go into the room across the hall would be better for his aching bones than the chair, he made his way across the hall only to hear a woman softly singing. Echoing in the halls.

Next to the door, sitting against the wall was Queen Ariel softly singing through the open door. He didn't even notice her singing and yet he feels tired. She smiled gently at him as she continued the soothing melody. There were no words, but it was enchanting all the same. He yawned and nodded as he walked into the room. He sees Miss Lilo also turning in and made his way to the last bed.

Even though everyone but them were asleep, Ariel still walked into the room and (in a softer tone) continued her lullaby as she fixed the blankets and blew out the candles.

Slowly, she left the room, he closed his eyes with a smile, feeling more at peace than he had in a great many years.

At Radiant Garden

Yuffie decided to host a town meeting to answer everyone questions in 6 days. To make sure everyone is settled and had a chance to calm down. It took well into the early morning before they had everyone place in the shelter.

Instead of putting them in homes right away, they needed to clear the streets, reprogram the towns defense system (the Claymores and other security systems Cid made over the years) and get a proper security system in place before deciding on where to put anyone. It wasn't until noon the next day before ANYONE in the restoration Committee could get some rest.

Riku started protesting when Sora kept falling asleep and he himself almost fell asleep walking down the street. Sora insisted on staying up to catch stray Heartless and Nobodies while they worked on the Claymores. They both kept an eye out for the calm Heartless (for those they are recognizing as at least allies that can communicate via writing or charades.)

Eventually, the Claymores were back online with improved programming and a decent shift between volunteer guards were set up that the committee made their way to Merlin's and fell asleep on any comfy surface. Although Leon DID drag Riku and Sora to the bed saying the two needed the rest more than they did, especially in the coming weeks.

Sora, agreeing (and also the one carrying Riku piggy-back) agreed and plopped the sleeping man on the bed and pulled back the blankets before climbing in next to him. Leon quickly claimed the chair before a protesting Yuffie and settled in. Cid put his computer to sleep, found a pillow and was out shortly after. Aerith and Yuffie found a spot on the floor and Leon tossed them a nearby blanket.

Aerith, barely awake, could only smile softly when Sora started a soft wordless lullaby as he held Riku in his arms.

"Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting."
