Set nowhere in particular and a world of your choice.

I am so sorry. I know it has been a while since I updated.
There were many decisions to be made, and so this sort of slipped my mind.

Anyway, today I checked my User Stats and found out that... I am on the Favorite Authors list of 99 Members!
Wow. Thank you. I am so flattered and I hope you don't find that weird.
This is beyond anything I ever hoped or dared to expect when I started writing fanfiction some months back.
I mean, the last time I checked, the count was around, maybe, seventy?
And I haven't been writing much lately, so this was a shock.
A pleasant shock, mind you. Hahaha!

Sorry for rambling!
Enjoy!

WHAT IFS AND WHY NOTS

What if I was different? Why could you not change?

Thirty-One
Forgotten [5]

Ventus had forgotten his past, but Vanitas remembers. He thought Ventus was lucky to forget. What was the use of childhood memories anyway? And Ventus had something much better now.

He had the sound of her laughter, the scent of her skin, the feel of her embrace. Aqua gave him new memories of starlit nights, lazy afternoons, cheerful mornings.

And Vanitas would gladly trade a decade of childhood memories if he could have her. Four years of teasing her, of fighting her, of laughing at her expense. Four years of real memories with her, rather than stolen ones, imagined ones…

A/N I am not entirely sure, but Ventus was at the Land of Departure for around four years right?

Thirty-Two
Wish [8]

He knew Aqua wasn't the type to wait for wishes to be granted. She was in constant action, her belief in dreams backed up by her resolve to realize them. In that sense, they were alike.

"But the difference between us," Vanitas taunted her as they battled, "is that you don't know which wishes can never come true. I do."

She looked confused; it's not as if she had been reading his thoughts.

"Such as how I wish I didn't need Ventus. And how I wish… You and I could just get along…" he muttered, shooting a fireball at her.

Thank You
