Velle winced as she tried to open her eyes, her whole body felt sore. When she finally forced them open they met the night sky and she struggled to sit up.

"Where am I?" Velle whispered.

"Oh good! You're awake! I was starting to think you kicked it." A man with an eyepatch and fresh scar sauntered up to her. They were on a beach and Velle was laying on the sand under the stars.

Velle jumped to her feet and summoned her keyblade, "Who are you!? Where's Ven?"

"If Ven's the guy you were with, he's out there in the lanes between floating away." The man replied.

"What do you mean he's out there floating away!? I have to go get him!" Velle moved to tap her armor but the man held a gun to her face that had several arrows loaded onto it.

"You're not going anywhere, sorry little lady." The man said while pointing his weapon at her face.

Velle's eye twitched at the nickname and her keyblade disappeared in a flash of light, "You never told me who you are."

The man moved his gun and carelessly pointed it at his chin in thought, "Who, me?" He looked her in the eyes and smirked, "I guess that depends on your ability to do one thing…"

Velle crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the man with disbelief. "Why would your identity depend on something I could do? Tell me who you are."

The man narrowed his eyes and pointed his gun back at Velle with a sinister smirk. "No."

The man turned to face the other direction and spoke after a moment of silence, "Not until you know how to ask nicely...We're in Neverland, to answer your earlier question."

"Neverland?" Velle repeated to herself.

"Your boyfriend will probably land here when he wakes up. If you can do what I ask you to do then I'll let you go." The man informed her.

"And if I can't?" Velle asked suspiciously.

"If you can't then the original plan still stands and I have to deliver you to the old man." He replied with a shrug.

"What old man?" Velle repeated, wondering who he could be talking about. "If you have orders then why would you go against them?"

The man turned to look at her again with a smirk, "Because, I've got my own agenda. Come on, let's move….put these on." He handed her a black coat and a blindfold that seemed very familiar to Velle but she couldn't place it.

He summoned a portal behind them and forcefully shoved Velle inside. "Where are you taking me now!?" Velle snapped with irritation.

"You'll see soon enough, little lady." The man sneered.

Velle scowled but allowed the man to guide her to the other side of the portal. She felt cold air hit her skin and bristled up. "It's freezing!" Velle hissed.

The man rolled his eyes, "You can take that stuff off now."

Velle removed her blindfold and shivered, "I think I'll keep the coat on for now."

She pocketed the blindfold and took in her surroundings. "...What is this place?" Velle muttered in awe. They were in some kind of town, it was covered in snow and it seemed abandoned.

"Come on," The man urged, ignoring her question. Velle followed him slowly as she took in her surroundings, her eyes fell on a sign.

…

Daybreak Town

…

The present day Velle floated in the dark abyss with her eyes closed, remembering so much of her past that had been hidden from her. It was like a movie, watching someone else act out her life because she couldn't remember half of the things she'd witnessed. However, when her eyes fell on the words Daybreak Town she felt an electrical pulse jolt through her body. Her eyes snapped open and she brought her hands to her face. She wondered what the jolt could have possibly been, it was similar to when her spell had worn off and she remembered her identity in the World That Never Was. The town the man took her to looked very familiar. She closed her eyes again and the memory continued.

"Come on! Don't fall behind!" Velle jogged to catch up with the mysterious man.

"You're lucky I'm following you at all," Velle grumbled in response as she crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly.

"You seem to be under the impression that you had a choice," The man retorted, summoning his arrow gun again.

Velle rolled her eyes, "You don't even know if you could take me."

"I could take ya…" The man turned back around and mumbled to himself, "Maybe not now...but before…" However, Velle didn't hear him, she was looking around the abandoned snow covered town.

They walked on in silence until Velle couldn't take it any longer. "So this place looks nice."

The man sighed and looked around, taking in his hometown for the first time in a long time. Maybe she truly didn't remember her time in here, or maybe he was mistaken and she wasn't who he thought she was. He thought for a long moment before replying. "It was…"

"Was?"

"Before things went to shit...Where we need to go is right up this way." He pointed to their right and they turned the corner.

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?" Velle inquired.

"I was watching you on the ship, I saw what you did with your light." The man remarked.

"You mean lighting the room? My friend showed me how to do it, it's not that big of a deal." Velle shrugged.

"It's not the action that caught my attention, it was your actual light... it was...very familiar." The man replied cryptically.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Velle pushed.

The man rolled his eyes and stopped in front of a fountain. "What's anything supposed to mean anymore, anyways? Alright do that thing again but direct your light at the fountain."

"Whatever, you promise you'll let me go if I can do what you want?" Velle grumbled, she summoned her keyblade and closed her eyes. The light began to emit around Velle like an aura.

"Yes, now give it more power," The man ordered. Velle exhaled heavily before taking a deep breath and making the light stronger. "More." He repeated. Velle furrowed her eyebrows, she knew from experience that this was a dangerous game. Regardless, she did as the man said. She heard him hiss in pain and she lessened the intensity. "No, make it even stronger and direct it at the fountain!" The man barked.

Velle growled and the light burst from her core, she aimed her keyblade at the fountain and it started to lift. She gasped and directed the fountain to the side, underneath was an underground passage. "What the-" Velle mumbled.

"Ha! I knew it was you!" The man pumped his fist in the air.

"Who am I?" Velle asked.

The man regarded her curiously, "Seriously? You've got to be kidding me! Oh-ho-ho-ho this is too good! You're telling me your smug ass doesn't remember anything!? Oh the irony of it all, god it must suck to be you."

"What? What else did I forget?" Velle groaned, rubbing her face with one hand.

"You make a habit of forgetting things often?" The man asked, he gestured for her to go down the passageway.

"Shut up, I did what you thought I could do...so who are you?" Velle snapped.

"Well since you can't remember, Braig. The name's Braig." The man replied.

"I don't know anyone by that name, who do you work for?" Velle asked.

Braig laughed loudly, "That's because you can't remember! And I said I'd tell you who I was, I never said I'd tell ya who I work for."

Velle grimaced, "What if I said I don't believe you're telling the truth about who you are?"

He snorted, "I'm not lying entirely but my true identity is on a need to know, babe."

"That's it!" Velle growled, she'd had enough of the nicknames. Lifting her foot, she slammed it into his back and kicked him down the stairs.

"Argh!" The man shouted as he tumbled to the bottom. "What the hell!?" He shouted, holding his back.

"I'm not a little lady, or your babe, and I'm not a kid. I'm none of your nicknames!" Velle growled.

The man snorted "Right, you never did like that, did you?"

"What are you talking about!?" Velle demanded, rushing to his side with her fists balled.

"Nothing, nothing, don't worry about it. I'm just trying to check to see if I left something in here." The man grumbled, struggling to his feet. "Come on."

"I am worried about it! I don't know who you are and you've kidnapped me, taking me to some ghost town. Honestly...I never know what's going on anymore…" Velle sighed.

The man snorted, "You're not the only one, alright stay right here." The man disappeared in the darkness, she heard him open a door and curse. Velle jogged down the darkness and summoned her keyblade

"What's wrong?" Velle asked.

"It's not here," Braig lamented, burying his face into his hands.

"What's not here?" Velle furrowed her brow and looked into the dusty dark room, she could barely make out anything in the darkness. "...Hey...wait…"

Braig held his breath as Velle took a few steps into the room, "What?" he asked unsurely.

"This room…" Velle trailed off, she ran her hand along a dusty desk. It looked like there had been a fire at one point, it was a study before then. Bookshelves lined the walls but all the books were thrown to the ground, either torn, burnt, or both. "This room looks familiar, but…"

"Yes, go on," Braig urged with excitement.

"But I've never been here before," Velle finished.

Braig grinned and tapped her nose, "Or you have and you just can't remember!"

Velle felt a shiver run through her body, she felt sick to her stomach that she didn't even know who she was. "I have to get out of here!" Velle exclaimed suddenly, covering her mouth with one hand as she ran back outside.

"Huh? Wait!" Braig ran after her to make sure she didn't escape. The last thing he needed was for her to get lost in the ruins of Daybreak Town and unlock her memories before the Master of Masters wanted her to. He stopped in his tracks when he came across the violet haired girl vomiting just outside the passage. "Oh...gross…" he complained, trying to cover his eyes.

"Ugh…" Velle groaned as she wiped her mouth. "I need some water…"

"What the hell's come over you?" Braig asked.

Velle closed her eyes and put her hand on her forehead, "I don't know what it was...but I did not like the way that room made me feel...it made my head spin...What is this underground place?"

Braig groaned, she was starting to ask too many questions, and he knew the longer they stayed the more questions she would have. "Listen, I don't know what you go by-"

"Vellum-but don't ever call me that! Just call me Velle," She interjected as she turned to examine something carved on the fountain but it was so worn she couldn't read it.

Braig chuckled before , "Huh...anyways, it was good seeing you again. Many happy returns, safe travels, and all that jazz. I hope you get your memory back soon."

"Hey wait! What are you tal-Ah!" Velle didn't get to finish her question. Braig hit her on the back of the head and she was knocked unconscious.

"Sorry kid, the master would be pissed if he found out I told you about yourself before he wanted you to know… It really was good to see you again Vellum." He snorted, "Crazy that you have the same name and you can't still can't remember. Alrighty, little lady, let's get up on out of here!" He hoisted her over his shoulder and headed back to Neverland. When he arrived the sun was just rising, he'd decided to leave her laying right where she'd woken up the night before.

Ventus was fuming as he followed the two boys who found him, he couldn't believe he lost Velle again. They crossed the sandy beach and Ventus stopped in his tracks, could he really be that lucky? There, lying in the sand unconscious was the girl in question.

"Velle!? Velle!" Ventus shouted, he clamored over to her and knelt at her side. "Hey, can ya hear me?" Ventus brushed the sandy hair out of her eyes. "Come on, Vellum...wake up...I'm sorry I lost you for a bit." He was starting to lose hope, maybe she was seriously injured, she was definitely still breathing.

The tiny little pixie zoomed to his face, waving her hands in question. "Her names Velle, she's my gir-um-she's my friend." Ventus corrected himself, he hadn't asked her to be his girlfriend yet. A groan from his lap renewed his hope and his attention returned to the violet haired girl. "Velle?"

"Ven?" She croaked. Her eyes fluttered open to see a bright blue sky and sun. She winced and moved quickly to grab her head. "Ah!" she hissed.

"What's wrong?" Ventus's hand reached for hers.

"I don't know it hurts…" Velle mumbled. She removed her hand and was relieved when there was no blood.

"Did you hit your head?" Ventus asked.

"No, someone hit me." She grumbled.

"What!?" Ventus snapped, automatically thinking of Vanitas.

Velle looked up to see the two boys and the pixie, "Um...I'll tell you about it later, Ven."

Ventus looked up and remembered the others as well, "Okay...I'm just glad you're okay."

"That's relative…" Velle grumbled as she rubbed the lump on the back of her head.

Suddenly someone yelled something incoherent from above them, "Huh?" Ventus's head shot to the air.

"Peter Pan!" The boys shouted. A boy in a green leotard was soaring above in circles, he descended towards them with a grin.

"Who do we have here? Never seen you two before!" Peter inquired, floating a few inches off the ground.

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

"I'm Velle!" she chirped beside him with a wave.

Peter Pan landed in front of them and rubbed his chin, "...Well...if you say so…" He walked over to the two boys and commanded them, "Ten-shun! Now then men, I don't suppose you want to capture some real pirate treasure?"

"Real pirate treasure?"

"Sure!"

"Well guess who caught sight of Hook right when he was stashing his treasure? Whaddaya say we sneak in and grab it?" Peter Pan asked in recruitment.

"Oh boy!"

"Let's go! Let's go!" They jumped up and down with delight. Suddenly the little fairy fluttered down and smacked the two boys on the cheek before zooming into Peter's face and throwing a tantrum. Velle looked at Ventus from the corner of her eye and he met her eyes and shrugged with a grin.

"Tinkerbell!? What's gotten into you!?" Peter asked.

"We were all supposed to go hunt for a shooting star together." Velle explained, taking a few steps forward.

Peter Pan raised his eyebrow, " Well...hello there!" He walked up to her and held his hand out for her to shake it. "Velle, was it?"

"Uh...yeah…" She replied, suddenly feeling uncomfortable, Tinkerbell put her hands on her hips and glared at the red headed boy.

Peter hadn't let go of her hand yet, and Ventus's eyes narrowed a bit. "Well, forget that. Pirate treasure is way more fun! Velle, Tink, you're coming with us!"

Tinkerbell grimaced and shook her head 'no', Velle furrowed her brow and walked over to Ventus's side. "I'm not going anywhere with you, especially not without Ven." She reached out and gripped his hand, he couldn't help the satisfied smile that pulled to his lips.

Peter frowned, "Well that's no way to respond to an invitation. Come on, Ven, you're a better sport than them right?"

Ventus sighed, "I'd love to join you, but first we wanna find the shooting star."

Peter Pan looked appalled at the idea of anyone turning him down, " Fine, suit yourselves!" he turned on his heel and soared away, his two lost boys following close behind him.

"So, your name is Tinkerbell?" Velle asked as they walked into a forest with the small fairy hovering beside them. The fairy nodded her head animatedly. "Do you know where this shooting star fell?" She nodded again. "Great! Lead the way!" Tinkerbell grinned and sped off in front of them.

"Velle, wait!" Ventus tugged her back to him by her hand.

"Huh? What's up?" Velle asked curiously.

"So what happened earlier? What were you talking about." he inquired.

"I woke up and some guy was holding me at gunpoint-"

"What!?" Ventus exclaimed.

"Ven, calm down, I'm okay aren't I?" Velle reasoned.

"Still...I should have been there to help-"

"It was out of your hands, we both must have gotten knocked out from that creature's ship's backfire." Velle thought back to when they were escaping the ship, it must have been the only explanation. "So this guy takes me to some dilapidated town and-" Velle finishes her story and Ventus looks worried.

"So you're telling me this guy knew who you were?" Ventus asked for clarification. "But you don't know him? You don't remember your time with that masked guy either, do you think they're connected?"

Velle shook her head, "Not entirely, this guy acted like he's known me for years."

Ventus looked at his feet silently in deep thought, after a few moments he looked at her. "Were you guys...like...close?" He asked slowly.

"Huh? What! No!" Velle laughed. "Honestly, it seemed more like he annoyed me than anything. What's gotten into you lately, Ven? Asking about that masked boy and this guy…"

Ventus shrugged and blushed, "I don't know… I've never felt this feeling before...I just...I don't want anyone else to touch you."

Velle's face heated up at his admission, she looked down at their entwined hands, anything but his deep blue soul searching eyes. "I-" Velle stopped speaking. They'd reached a clearing with several tepees.

"This must be the Indian Camp those guys were telling me about…" Ventus mumbled as he too reached the clearing to see Tinkerbell waiting for them. In the distance something small and blue laid on the ground, they walked closer and Velle gasped.

"Ven, isn't that-"

"Mickey's Star Shard?" Ventus asked in disbelief. They ran forward to get it but a malicious laugh stopped them, a man in red with a hook for a hand, picked the shard up and examined it.

The man snatched Tinkerbell in his other hand, "A shooting star and a pixie! Must be me birthday!"

"Hey!" Velle shouted running forward with Ventus.

They summoned their keyblades and Ventus demanded, "Let Tinkerbell go!"

"Ha! Some of Peter Pan's brats!? Well tell that cowardly sparrow if he wants his precious Tinkerbell back, he'd best meet me at Mermaid Lagoon." With that the man turned tail and ran.

"Stop!" Ventus shouted, running after him. Just then several unversed leaped out of the ground and blocked his path. "Ergh! Scram!" He growled.

Velle looked around nervously, was Vanitas around too? She couldn't take another person trying to kidnap her today. Ventus launched an attack at the unversed and suddenly Velle felt a hand around her mouth.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Velle shouted muffled through the hand. She was pulled behind one of the tepees by none other than the unversed king himself. "Vanitas!" She hissed angrily. "What do you want!?"

He crossed his arms over his chest, "I see you've gotten comfier with Venty-wenty, no more trouble in paradise I take it?" He sneered, his voice thick with jealousy.

Velle blushed, missing the bite in his tone. "Yes, what does it matter to you?"

Vanitas narrowed his eyes behind his mask, "It doesn't. I just wanted to see what happened with Braig, I didn't expect to see you out and about." He turned his head the other way and mumbled under his breath, "And so close to that weakling"

"Yeah...he was weird. He just-"

"Damn it! Velle!" She heard Ventus shout, she jumped and turned to Vanitas who had already disappeared in a wisp of darkness. "Where are you-oh, there you are!" Ventus rounded a tepee and ran to her. "What are you doing over here?"

"Unversed," she replied simply, feeling extremely guilty for lying.

"I'm just glad you're not gone again." Ventus muttered as he threw his arms around her and hugged her tight.

Velle snorted, " You and me both." She laid her head on his chest for a few seconds, enjoying the hug before she looked up at him. "We gotta go after him, Ven. He has Tinkerbell!"

"You're right, let's go." Ventus and Velle sprinting off in the direction of the man with the hook. They reached a clearing and Ventus growled in frustration. "We lost them!"

Velle jumped at how upset he sounded, "It's okay, Ven. We'll find 'em."

Ventus took a deep breath and smiled, "I know... You're right."

A light breeze rustled his hair and he looked up at a palm tree, though he didn't exactly see the palm tree. He remembered the night on Destiny Island with Velle, what he would give to be able to have another calm night just like that. A night where they could just fully enjoy each other's company. He paused, his eyes narrowing in thought, Velle watched him with interest but didn't say anything. "I miss Terra and Aqua…" He mumbled after a moment.

Velle sighed, "Me too…"

"And I miss just being able to relax and have fun, like when we all went to the Paopu Festival." Ventus mumbled.

"You know Ven...we never did get to share that fruit." Velle giggled, her hands were behind her back and she rocked back and forth.

Ventus blushed and opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by someone shouting, "Look out below!" Peter Pan shouted as he landed in hot.

"Peter, help! Tinkerbell's been pixie-napped!" Ventus exclaimed.

Peter frowned, "Then I'm too late! Hook's gonna pay for this!"

"He said to meet him at Mermaid Lagoon!" Velle chirped.

Peter looked down and thought for a moment, "Gotta be an ambush. Hmph, that old codfish thinks he's clever. Peter quickly soared into the sky and Ventus frowned.

"Hey, we're going too!" Ventus shouted.

Peter turned around and smiled at them appreciatively, "Well then we'll have to hurry, can you keep up?"

Velle smirked, "You bet!"

They raced behind Peter as he led the way to Mermaid Lagoon in the air. As they rounded the lagoon Hook already had eyes on them.

"Do ye see 'em, Mr. Smee?" Hook asked.

The round old Mr. Smee peered through a telescope. "Peter Pan, Ahoy! Man the long tom and...FIRE!"

Ventus stopped in his tracks just as he saw a cannon shoot out of the pirate shit, just ahead waiting for them in the lagoon. "Aeroga!" He shouted, pointing his keyblade at the cannon headed towards them. "Cannon fire! On the water!" Ventus warned.

"Woah Ven, where did you learn that!?" Velle exclaimed. Ventus smirked and shook his head, trying to hide his blush. He liked when Velle acknowledged how strong he was becoming.

"Come on! Let's move soldiers, we gotta get Tink!" Peter shouted, they rushed forward but a sudden chime of bells and a floating light stopped them. "Tink! It's you and you're alright!" Peter exclaimed. The pixie looked like she was telling him something. "What? A strange Fella with a funny lookin' sword has-" The sudden rumble of the cannons distracted him. "Hang on, I gotta stop that cannon!"

Ventus nodded, " Alright, We'll go after Hook."

"Right," Peter nodded. "Tink, if you would."

Velle's eyes widened as the pixie zoomed up to them and seemed to swirl around them in circles, covering their bodies in her pixie dust. Ventus watched in awe, "Wow...what?" he asked with confusion when she was done.

Peter chuckled, "It's pixie dust! Bet you guys feel lighter now, don'tcha?" He ascended into the sky and flew away.

"I do feel lighter!" Velle exclaimed as she began to float, golden sparkles falling from her feet just like Peter Pans. "Wahoo!" She shouted as she flew circles around Ventus.

"Hey I wanna try too!" He pouted, suddenly he began to float as well. "Look, Velle! I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" He shouted with excitement.

"Yay! Ven! Let's go get Hook!" Velle said after a moment. Ventus's face became serious and he nodded.

"Come on, let's go!" and the two soared off in unison.

Once they found Hook they snuck into the cave just in time to hear him shout, "At last, that scurvy brat will never trouble me again!"

Ventus smirked, "I wouldn't be too sure of that, Hook."

"Hm?" Hook turned around to see Ventus and Velle with their keyblade's drawn. "Swoggle me eyes! No, don't tell me!" Hook ran to the mouth of the cave and looked out with his telescope. He gasped at the sight of Peter Pan in control of his ship, he threw the telescope to the ground. "Blast that Peter Pan!"

He ran over to them and drew his sword, the sudden sound of ticking stopped him in in tracks, "Huh? That sound!"

Behind him, in the water, swam up an alligator that seemed to be ticking like a bomb. While he was distracted Ventus and Velle advanced on him "Ah! Not again! S-stay away from me!"

He turned to run but Ventus fixed him with a glare from directly behind him, "Not so fast."

Hook moved to strike Ventus with his sword but Velle ducked in and blocked him, "You don't stand a chance, Hook."

"Ergh! Blast you brats!" Hook growled, he jumped back and Ventus charged at him to attack.

Velle stood her ground and aimed her keyblade carefully, "Blizaga!"

Several well aimed shards of ice shot out and hit Hook repeatedly, "Argh!" he yelped in pain.

"Nice, Velle!" Ventus grinned, he'd just focused his energy enough to use his Flame Salvo. "My turn, Ha!" Ventus shouted as his body illuminated and several fire balls flew out from his soul.

While Ventus had Hook stunned, Velle pounced on the pirate and slammed her keyblade into his back. "Take that!"

"Woah!" Hook wailed as he fell into the water. He bobbed back up to the surface after some struggle and came face to face with the alligator. "Huh? Ah! Leave me alone!" He shrieked, clamoring away from the creature. "Help me Smee, Smeeeee!"

Velle giggled and Ventus snickered "That alligator really doesn't like him."

Ventus snorted, "No, he doesn't." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to him abruptly.

"Huh?" Velle asked just as his lips smashed against hers. When they parted she opened her eyes in a daze, "What was that for?"

Ventus blushed, "You're really cute when you fight…"

Velle blushed as well and almost groaned when they were interrupted,"Ahoy! Look what we brought!"

"It's Peter!" Velle exclaimed as they turned to see him soaring alongside his two lost boys who were in a boat with something large in the back.

"It's a pirate treasure chest!" They shouted with excitement.

"Treasure!" Ventus cheered, the young boy in him was elated. He helped them unload their cargo with a grin.

"Yup! The same chest I told ya about!" Peter said proudly with his hands on his hips. "We snatched it right up from Hook's hideout."

Peter bent down and opened the chest he gasped and Velle peaked around to see the problem, "Huh? How come your treasure chest is empty?"

"Uh...sorry, but we losted the treasures" One of the lost boys said.

Ventus pouted, "Oh well...That's too bad…"

Velle patted Peter on the shoulder, "Aw who needs it!"

"You're right, it was prob'ly just full of dumb old jewels or dubloons or somethin' anyways." Peter agreed with a smile.

"We could just put what we treasure in there instead-if ya wanna!" The other lost boy suggested.

Velle grinned, "That's a great idea!"

"Yeah! That's perfect! Instead of fillin' it up with gold and jewels and stuff-we'll put in what's truly special to us. The real riches!" Peter cheered. After a few moments the chest was full of toy swords, bow and arrows, and rocks.

"What are you guys putting in?" Peter asked, turning to face them.

Velle frowned, she took her wayfinder out of her pocket but she didn't want to give that up. Then she looked at the bracelet on her wrist, she sighed sadly and removed the bracelet but Ventus put his hand on hers stopping her. "Huh?"

"Don't worry Velle, we can put this in for both of us, but let's carve our names in it." Ventus told her with a smile, he held out Terra's wooden keyblade.

Velle gasped, knowing the keyblade was important to him, he laced his fingers with hers and gave her a reassuring smile. "Are you sure?" she asked.

"I think so," Ventus nodded.

"What is it?" Peter asked curiously.

"It's...just something that one of my best friends gave me...so it's like a keepsake, huh?" Ventus said as he held the wooden keyblade up and admired the workmanship. "Say, can I borrow your knife?" Ventus asked Peter.

"Sure, pal! Here ya go, Ven." Peter handed him the knife and Ventus carved something on the other side of the hilt.

"Look Velle!" Ventus held the keyblade up to her so she could see what he carved in the hilt.

VENTUS

VELLE

Velle grinned, "It looks good!"

"Did you want to add anything?" He asked, handing her the knife.

"Yeah!" Velle took the keyblade and carved a heart around their names before handing the keyblade back. Ventus looked at it and blushed, but didn't say anything.

"You sure you wanna part with somethin' that special?" Peter asked unsure.

"Yup." Ventus dropped it into the chest and wrapped his arm around Velle's shoulder in a hug. "I don't need it if I've got Velle, Terra, and Aqua. Our best memories are still ahead, right Velle?"

Velle grinned and nodded, "Right!"

"All right, then! Next time you visit we'll have an even bigger chest waitin'! Enough for all those treasures and lots more." Peter beamed.

Ventus grinned, "Okay! It's a deal then!"

Just then Tinkerbell floated by struggling with the star shard, Velle gasped. "Ven, look!

"Oh! Wait, Tink-I'm pretty sure that belongs to a friend of mine. Do you think maybe I could hang on to it?" Ventus asked sweetly as he reached for it.

Tinkerbell shook her head 'no' and turned to leave, "Now, Tink!" Peter scolded. She froze and turned back, reluctantly dropping the Star Shard in Ventus's hand.

"Thank you," Ventus smiled.

"Yeah, thanks Tinkerbell!" Velle grinned.

Suddenly the Star Shard lit up and both Ventus and Velle gasped, Ventus brought the hand he was holding Velle's with over his eyes and suddenly they were both illuminated in light before they disappeared.

"They...They're gone!" The lost boys gawked.

"Look, the light!" One of them exclaimed pointing to the sky as a wonky light flew away.

Peter took a few steps forward, "Don't worry, men. No matter where that light takes them, they'll always have friends waitin' to meet 'em."
