Kingdom Hearts 3 aftermath

by redlox2

This is my thoughts of what would happen in the KH3 ending. SPOILERS! (and afterwards with the characters reacting) SOKAI (no other ships although some implied-my personal ones)

8. Princess of Heart Reward

Chapter 8 bonus Quest-Princess's reward!

AN: Yeah I know this didn't happen in canon and probably wouldn't but honestly I had this idea for in my head for a while and I wanted to write it along with reactions. Super long chapter! All original! Both reactions and the memory! Hope ya enjoy!

AN2: just to clarify my story will not lead to KH4 (with new worlds etc) more like 3.5(getting Sora back and maybe setting up what I think will happen in KH4). Sorry got some reviews asking about it. (have my ending for this story planned out already)

The memory started with Sora, Donald and Goofy in a Gummi Ship with Sora driving while Donald was pouting and Goofy was chuckling.

"So, this is during your first adventure huh?" Kairi noted with Donald and Goofy nodded.

"Huh Sora looks quite a bit younger then he does now." Olette noted having only met Sora during his 2nd and 3rd adventures.

"Yeah Sora kinda hit a growth spurt but he is still pretty short." Riku claimed smirking at the indignant 'heys' from people around Sora height. Including Roxas, Ventus, Xion, Namine and Kairi. "He was 14 during his first adventure, 15 when he met your guys the first time around and now 16 almost 17." Riku explained to the Twilight residents.

"I see that makes sense as boys do mature later then girls both mentally and physically." Olette noted as the girls nodded wisely. The boys were less then impressed with the generalization of their gender.

"Why do we have to go back there?" Donald grumbled as the group of heroes were flying back to Hollow Bastion.

"Now I remember when this is!" Donald quacked as his eyes lit up in recognition.

"Yeah it was after Sora saved the Princess of Heart and before we went into the Final Keyhole." Goofy noted as Mickey, Riku and Kairi nodded in understanding.

"Wait the Princess of Heart were in danger?" Terra asked alarmed only to get silence in response.

"Terra you seriously need to catch up on recent events…." Ventus said drily as he kinda knew what happened while inside Sora's heart.

"Luckily these memories should help fill in some of the blanks." Ansem said kindly as Terra tried to not look embarrassed.

"Cause we have to make sure the Princesses of Heart are alright after their ordeal." Sora explained as he was piloting the Gummi ship while Goofy just chuckled at the friends arguing.

"Oh Sora." Kairi said with a fond smile happy that Sora cared for all his friends well being even if they were not as close as to him as Riku or Kairi.

"Ok can somebody please tell me where Hollow Bastion is? Was it a new world nobody heard about?" Aqua asked as several people looked questionably at her till, they realized she was trapped before the worlds fell to darkness.

"Aqua, Hollow Bastion is the name of Radiant Gardens when it was overrun by darkness." Mickey explained making Aqua gasped.

"But Radiant Gardens is a world full of light!" Aqua said astonished as everyone looked away.

"Lets just say certain villains took advantage of a lack of Keyblade Wielders to plunge the worlds in darkness and while this one didn't fall it certainly was not the same place it is now." Riku said bitterly as Ventus, Aqua and Terra shared a look of guilt for not being around.

"Don't worry though largely due to Sora this place was saved and eventually restored to its former glory." Lea noted with a grin making Ven, Aqua and Terra sigh in relief.

"Yeah Donald plus Sora is in a lot better mood now that his girlfriend is safe." Goofy joked as he winked at Donald who laughed.

Kairi blushed scarlet as everyone turned to her. "What?" She said with a huff.

"We didn't say anything and Donald never even said you." Riku said a grin as everyone shared a laugh.

"Kairi isn't my girlfriend." Sora claimed quickly as Donald and Goofy had huge grins.

"Notice how Sora instantly thought of Kairi even though Donald didn't say Kairi." Xion said with a giggle to a grinning Roxas.

Despite her blush Kairi said sincerely "I am glad Sora had you and Goofy on his adventures when Riku and I weren't there. If he was alone, I think Sora would not been able to do it without friends like you guys." This got warm smiles from everyone.

"Shucks Kairi Sora is one of our best pals! Plus it is hard to spend time with Sora and not want to be his friend." Goofy said with a chuckle.

"Yeah plus he helped us when we needed help so the least we can do is be there for him whenever he needs help." Donald said with a smile.

"But yeah I feel better now that Kairi is safe with Leon and the others. Plus the other princesses lost their hearts just like Kairi did so I only think its right we check up on them." Sora said with determination.

"That's Sora for you. He can't help but play the hero." Riku said a laugh.

"I think its sweet that Sora cares enough about the princesses to check in them despite them being safe." Namine said with a smile that Kairi quickly mirrored. Riku looked amused at the 2 girls while the guys laughed at Riku's joke.

"Look I can't say I know Sora very well and to be honest I might know him least of everyone here but if Sora is actually taking the time to check on the well being of the Princess of Heart. I can say he has the good intentions of a Keyblade Wielder at the very least." Terra said honestly while Ventus grinned at him and Aqua smiled.

This made both Donald and Goofy have real smiles as they knew about Sora's hero like tendencies but they still felt the need to tease him.

Goofy and Donald had the same smiles as their past selves.

"Why do you think this memory is being shown? All I remember was Sora getting his fire magic upgraded?" Goofy whispered to Donald.

"How should I know?! These are Sora's memories after all!" Donald whispered back in an annoyed tone of voice.

"What are you guys whispering about?" Mickey asked his friends.

"Nothing your majesty!" Donald and Goofy said in unison.

Mickey gave a nod while Lea sent a disbelieving look. "Yeah causes its always nothing right?" Lea said sarcastically getting a shrug from Roxas and giggle from Xion.

"Yeah and you want to show off for the girls right Sora?" Donald teased as Sora got flustered.

"Of course not!" He said as they landed in the world and entered Maleficent inner most room of her castle.

Kairi frowned at that statement and at Sora's flustered look. "Sora wouldn't try to impress anybody especially girls!" Kairi said furiously glaring at Donald.

"Hey it was a joke!" Donald claimed sinking back from the redhaired girls glare.

"Kairi we all know Sora isn't that kind of guy who would want to impress anyone." Namine said kindly making Kairi stop glaring at Donald much to his relief.

'Hope Sora doesn't get into any weird situations especially during the time when Kairi and I were training or I think Kairi is going to start to knock everyone on their ass….' Lea thought to himself with a shudder. He waved off Roxas and Xion concerned looks.

They walked for abit as Donald started shuddering. "This place always gives me the creeps even with less Heartless it is still creepy." He said as Goofy shrugged.

"Glad that place became Radiant Gardens again." Donald sighed in relief. Goofy and Riku nodded in agreement.

"I still cannot believe that the worlds became such a mess all because we weren't there to defend them..." Aqua said with a sorrowful voice while Ven and Terra looked down.

"Aqua you gotta stop moping! Look I was around when the worlds fell to darkness the first time around and couldn't save them and it will always weigh on me. However, its not about us its about the worlds. They were saved by Sora and all his friends so we should be thankful instead of guilty." Mickey stated sternly making Riku raise an eyebrow impressed with his friend.

"Thank you, Mickey, you are right its not about who is responsible or not. Its about who corrected our mistakes." Aqua said with a smile which made Terra and Ven grin happy to see Aqua happy again.

"If you are so afraid wait outside, I am talking to them regardless." Sora said sternly as Donald huffed.

"Gotta go with Sora on this one. Donald if you don't like that place you can wait in the Gummi ship." Riku said with a sigh as Donald huffed.

Much to everyone surprise Jasmine walked towards them with a bright smile on her beautiful face.
"Sora, Donald and Goofy welcome!" Jasmine said in her regal majestic voice. She did a did small wave as well.

"Huh its her!" Roxas said with a surprised look and recognition in his voice.

"You seen Jasmine before Roxas?" Riku asked with surprise.

"Yeah me and Xion had to do some missions for the original Organization 13 and one of the worlds was Agrabah. Except we didn't talk to her since to was suppose to be recon and we weren't supposed to be seen." Roxas explained as Xion nodded her head.

"She seems so beautiful and majestic." Ven said with awe. Aqua smiled and ruffled his head.

"She is a princess Ven." Aqua teased getting a pout from Ven.

Before Sora could respond Donald decided to speak "Yay you talked can we go now?" He said somewhat rudely getting a glare from Sora and a sigh from Goofy.

Everyone turned to the sheepish looking Donald.

"Wow talk about rude." Xion said with annoyance.

"I know right? The Princess goes out of her way to greet them and he is already thinking about going back to the ship." Namine said with a frown.

"Hey! Ok maybe that wasn't ok but I can hear you guys!" Donald shouted.

"We know you can hear us." Namine said simply.

'I guess Sora was right to refer to Donald as the 'loud one'.' Riku thought to himself.

"Actually, we would like to speak to Sora in private if that is alright?" Jasmine asked politely unfazed by Donald rude attitude. Donald hesitated as much as he would like to get out of the castle, he felt uncertain leaving Sora alone inside. Goofy gave Sora a questioning look.

"That's strange. Why would the Princess of Heart want to talk to Sora alone?" Ansem wondered out loud.

"Maybe its some secret "Keyblade Wielder only" talk?" Pence said excitedly. They Keyblade wielders looked amused at the suggestion.

"Maybe she didn't like Donald's attitude?" Kairi suggested giggling at his annoyed expression.

"Geez I do this one thing and it haunts me forever…" Donald grumbled.

"Maybe is simply to say thank you for saving their hearts?" Riku suggested.

"Ok can we back a bit and explain how the Princess of heart lost their hearts and how Sora got them back?" Terra asked in frustration.

Everyone else sighed with Mickey just saying "It's a long story and I am sure it will be in Sora's other memories. Lets just say Sora saved their hearts along with Kairi's at the same time." Terra looked unsatisfied but relented.

Sora shrugged and said confidently "Go wait outside guys I am sure nothing can happen. I will meet you guys in abit." Donald and Goofy nodded as they walked outside.

"True its just the Princesses of Hearts not villains or anything." Roxas said with an optimistic smile.

As soon as they left Jasmine grabbed Sora hand softly and pulled him towards the next room quickly much to his confusion. "What's this about Jasmine?" Sora asked cluelessly not registering how soft and warm Jasmine hand felt.

Kairi eye twitched seeing Jasmine grab Sora's hand so warmly with Sora not being uncomfortable at all. This greatly amused the rest of the group seeing Kairi so jealous for an action that Sora thought was completely friendly.

"I don't know if I envy Sora or pity him." Lea whispered to Roxas who gave a confused look.

"Why would you envy Sora?" Roxas asked in confusion.

"Right forgot you have no idea how to act around girls." Lea said with sigh ignoring the indignant 'hey'. "Well at least you got Xion." Lea said with a grin as Xion blinked.

"Of course, he has me. I will be with him forever right Roxas?" Xion said with a smile as Roxas grinned back. Lea just smirked at his 2 best friends' oblivious feelings.

"Oh nothing much. We just wanted to introduce ourselves properly as you only met two of the 6 of us." Jasmine explained as they stopped walking to see the other 5 Princesses of Heart.

Jasmine let go of Sora's hand to walk along the rest as they all smiled at Sora.

Kairi looked notably happier when Jasmine let go of Sora's hand while Riku smirked.

'Sora is pretty popular getting 6 cuties like them to smile at him. I wonder what they want though.' Lea thought to himself in amusement.

The 6 Princess of Heart were Jasmine, Alice, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle and Snow White.

"This is a rather special moment. Having almost all of the Princess of Heart in one place is rather special. There pure lights and the fact they are from different worlds makes it rather unique that 2 let alone 6 of them are in one location at one time." Yen Sid noted wisely.

"Princess of Heart?" Olette asked curiously.

"Right forgot we haven't told you everything yet. Lets see. You know how darkness lies in every heart right?" Riku asked as the Twilight town trio nodded. "You see there are 7 girls across the worlds who don't have any darkness in their lights only light and they are called the Princess of heart." Riku explained getting wide eyes from the trio.

"These the 6 girls there: Jasmine, Alice, Aurora, Cinderella, Belle and Snow White along with Kairi here." Mickey further explained.

"Kairi you didn't tell us you were a princess!" Olette said with a pout getting a nervous giggle from Kairi.

"Whoops' sorry! I honestly forgot about it. Its not a big deal to be honest. I am happier I can use the Keyblade to help other people to be honest." Kairi admitted getting a grin from Aqua.

Jasmine herself was a beautiful young woman with somewhat darker skin, warm brown eyes and long black hair that went to beyond her back in one long pony tail kept together with several blue hair bands. She wore red lip stick, big golden ear loops, golden neck ring and a blue headband with a blue gem in the middle for accessories. She had a slender and notable figure with her stomach and midriff showing due to her choice of wardrove. She wore light blue pants with matching blue slippers along with a blue tube top that expose her shoulders and stomach. She was noted for her beauty with many suitors which she rejected.

Lea whistled in appreciation. "Wooh! She is a beauty alright! Too young for my tastes but still gotta say Sora is lucky to be a first name basis with that Princess." Lea said with envy. Namine and Xion looked disgusted at Lea, Kairi sighed, Roxas looked rather embarrassed by his friend which was mirrored by Isa. Aqua looked annoyed, Ven looked confused, Terra and Riku looked nonchalant.

"Why is it when Axel says stuff like this its kinda gross but when Ven says stuff it is sweet?" Xion whispered to Namine.

"Maybe its because Ven is sweet and innocent while its just wrong for Axel to talk about girls like that?" Namine suggested getting a thoughtful look from Xion. "I don't think you would be pleased if Roxas said something sweet about another girl though." Namine teased delighting at the blush on Xion face.

"Where did that come from?" Xion squeaked quietly.

"Oh nothing~~ Namine said in sweet tone of voice.

Meanwhile Aqua looked put off by Jasmine rather revealing clothing. "Hmm…. Isn't that a bit exposing for a girl at her age?" Aqua said awkwardly feeling abit self conscious ay how open Jasmine appeared to be. She looked at herself with clothing that covered about 95% of her body except for part of her back.

"Aqua you look fine the way you are." Terra said in a non chalet cool voice making Aqua frown.

"Aqua I think you look pretty no matter what!" Ven said confidently as Aqua beamed at him.

"Thank you Ven." Aqua said sweetly as she stroked his cheek affectionally.

Riku turned to Kairi "Any idea what is the deal with Aqua and Ven?" He asked skeptical at how affectionate Aqua was with just Ven.

"No idea." Kairi said while she thought mentally 'Jasmine looks so grown up already and Sora seems to be quite close to her already.' Kairi started feeling pangs of jealously of Jasmine being so close to Sora during his first adventure.

"Well you already know me Sora but welcome anyways." Jasmine said with a smile and a giggle as he did a small bow in her presence.

"Seeing Sora being polite is kinda weird…." Riku noted as Kairi nodded along used to his very informal personality.

"Sora has a weakness for Princesses." Donald explained not noticing Kairi's eyes going dark. Everyone besides Goofy stepped back as she seemed to vanish and reappear in front of Donald grabbing his shoulders. She started to shake the duck as he rocked back and forth.

"What do you mean 'a weakness for Princesses'? What's that suppose to mean? Does he do this for every princess he meets?" Kairi asked angrily. In her irrational state she did not see everyone sweatdrop or the fact that Donald was unable to respond back.

"No Kairi! He simply means he cannot be rude to princesses that's all." Goofy said in reassurance. Kairi smiled and instantly became happy again.

"My mistake." She said sweetly as she let go of Donald and walked back to Riku's side. She decided to talk to Xion and Namine so she walked over there much to Riku's secret relief.

"Jasmine sorry we let you get captured. We should've been watching instead of just fighting Jafar." Sora said with a bit of guilt.

This got a frown from Riku and Kairi as they didn't like Sora trying to feel responsible for everything that happened.

"That knucklehead. None of us noticed Jasmine was kidnapped until Jafar was beaten." Donald said with a sigh as Goofy nodded along.

"Its not healthy for Sora to try to take on all the responsibility all on his own." Aqua said in a worried way.

Mickey nodded and said "We should really tell Sora this when we find him. I don't think he understands that he can rely on us too." as Kairi, Riku and Aqua grinned at him. Ventus and Roxas nodded with Namine and Xion smiling.

Jasmine waved it off his guilt as she said "It is fine Sora, You saved us afterall plus I don't even remember how I got caught I just remembered fainting and waking up here." Jasmine said with a tilt of her head.

Too everyone surprise Riku looked down making Kairi and Namine worried. "What's wrong Riku?" Namine decided to ask Riku.

"Its nothing. Just remembered that not all of Sora's memories will be pleasant ones." Riku explained hesitantly. This eased everyone worries as Riku looked at Jasmine intently.

"Wil you be ok staying here for abit and not seeing Aladdin again for awhile?" Sora said awkwardly as he could tell Aladdin clearly missed Jasmine.

Seeing the confused looks Donald elaborated "Aladdin is the guy she likes from Agrabah." Getting 'ahs' from people who didn't know about Agrabah's history.

"Aladdin will understand when I see him again. It is our duty to keep the darkness at bay till you beat the darkness." Jasmine said kindly with understanding in her eyes making Sora sigh in relief.

Kairi frowned as she was safe in Traverse town during these events. Namine almost could see what Kairi was thinking and gave her a smile getting one in return. Riku smiled at the twos connection even after being separated.

'Plus we agreed we needed to give you a reward for your efforts Sora.' Jasmine thought to herself as Sora turned to the next princess.

"Reward?" Everyone said in unison.

"Maybe its some secret magic?" Ventus said excitedly which Roxas looked intrigued by.

Next to Jasmine was Snow White the Princess of Heart from Dwarf Woodlands. She was noted for having very pale skin as white as snow. She was noted for her beautiful black hair as black as ebony and lips red as roses. Overall she too was a beautiful princess considered fairest in her land but didn't wear clothes as revealing as Jasmine. She wore a blue top that had red and several shades of blue and short sleeves along with a plain white dress that went all the way to her ankles.

"Its her!" Terra, Aqua and Ventus said at the same time as they all looked at each other mildly shocked.

"You all met Snow White before?" Riku said with some amusement.

"I guess our paths crossed more then I thought." Aqua noted thinking that they travelled to the same worlds just never at the same time.

"She dresses quite different from Jasmine and Kairi but even from this memory I can tell the purity of her light." Mickey noted wisely as Yen Sid nodded.

"Yes the light chose these princesses to host the purest light not necessarily because they were all princesses in the conventual sense but because their hearts themselves had the necessary qualities." Yen Sid explained why the princesses of heart had different traits yet hosted the same light.

'Except now the light has moved to the New 7 lights. We never did find out who all of them were.' Donald thought to himself.

"Hello Sora my name is Snow White and it is wonderful to meet you." Snow White said with a musical tone of voice as Sora gave her too a small bow.

"She has a nice voice. Maybe she sings a lot?" Roxas asked Xion who nodded her agreement.

"Hello! I hope you weren't too lonely when you were captured?" Sora asked worried as he didn't know how long these princesses were captured before he started his journey.

Despite her slight jealously Kairi could not help but smile at Sora good natured self.

"It wasn't that long for me. These bad people put us to sleep so we didn't even feel anything till we woke up thanks to you." Snow explained she did a quick curtsey in thanks.

"I see so that is how they look the same as they did those years ago." Aqua said with a gasp.

"Yes. Shortly after the walls between worlds were shattered by the heartless several villains stated going after the Princesses. However due to the purity of their light their hearts could not be taken so they fell into a dark sleep one after another to await a new fate." Yen Sid noted as Terra remembered the witch Maleficent saying something similar about Auroras heart.

Next to Snow White was standing Belle the Princess of Heart from Beasts Castle. She regarded Sora was curiously as Sora turned to her. She had captivating hazel eyes, long brown hair tied into a ponytail, full pink lips, rosy cheeks and a notable figure. Her slender figure was mostly hidden but her very modest and covering clothing which included medium-length blue sleeveless dress with a white long-sleeved button-up shirt underneath, a white apron on her waist, a white petticoat, and brown ballet flats on her feet. Her beauty like all Princess of Heart was noted even in her original world where she was considered the most beautiful in her village.

"Ok I will just say this. I think are the princess here are very beautiful or at least cute in the blonde girl's case." Lea decided to speak up ignoring the annoyed glares from Kairi, Aqua, Namine and Xion. "Hey it's a simple fact! Not my fault for reason the light only picked pretty girls to be their hosts!" Lea whined as the girls rolled their eyes.

"Fine they are all very pretty. I don't understand why you need to broadcast it though." Kairi grumbled still abit annoyed how they all seemed to want to know Sora on a more then strictly professional or friendly level.

Riku and Namine shared a look seeing the jealously plain as day. Roxas looked confused on why Kairi was annoyed at the Princesses while Xion rolled her eyes playfully at his oblivious attitude.

"They do all have beautiful dresses." Olette noted with some envy as her clothes were comfortable but rather plain. Her friends shrugged while Namine nodded along.

"Hello Sora, my name is Belle and I am happy to greet you properly." Belle said a bow and some surprise when Sora eyes lit with recognition.

"What?! Why does Sora recognize her?" Kairi demanded of a shocked and scared Donald. "I get Jasmine as Sora himself told me he befriended her in his first adventure but Jasmine said he didn't know the other Princesses very well! How is he recognizing her now just from her name?" She demanded angrily to a scared looking Donald.

"I dunno! I swear we didn't even meet her till we rescued you! She was definitely not one of the Princess we met before her heart was taken!" Donald pleaded as Kairi rambling started turning into mild anger.

Before Kairi could start throttling Donald for answers he didn't have, Riku decided to intervene seeing most of the people were unwilling to face Kairi's wrath to save Donald. "Kairi." Riku said sternly as Kairi turned to Riku with a furious expression. "I get you are worried about Sora probably more then all of us but he isn't going to be hurt by the Princesses so you need to relax." Riku said sternly as Kairi started to look abit more relaxed. "He wouldn't want you to be angry." Riku added making Kairi gasp as she realized the truth.

She quickly apologized to Donald and started looking at the memory calmly again much to everyone relief.

"Its you! Beast was looking for you all this time! He will be so glad when you get home!" Sora said in excitement at finding out who Beast wanted to save no matter what.

Donald and Goofy actually looked surprised at that. "Did we know about that?" Donald asked Goofy.

"No I don't think we ever heard that before." Goofy acknowledged much to everyone surprise that there was a part of Soras adventure even they didn't know about.

Donald and Goofy shared a quick guilty look when they realized Beast must've told Sora about Belle during the time when they had to leave Sora behind.

"That's nice that she has someone waiting for her." Namine said sweetly as Xion smiled and nodded.

'Maybe that is what motivated the love that Xaldin was talking about?' Roxas thought back to his time in the Organization.

"That was very sweet for Beast to be so worried about me and very sweet of you for remembering Sora. Thank you for telling me." Belle said sweetly smiling when she saw Sora rub his head in embarrassment.

"Sora embarrassed. You don't see that enough." Riku remarked smirking at the pout on Kairi's face. She was better at hiding then before but he could see the jealous signs.

"Belle looks pretty too." Ventus said in wonder as Aqua smiled and patted his head. Lea decided it was not worth a comment to get a glare.

"Its nothing Belle, Nice to meet you too!" Sora said with a grin. He didn't notice that Belle had a slight blush that quickly faded to a warm smile.

Kairi eyes twitched in annoyance seeing Belles reaction but she relaxed when she saw Sora seemingly unfazed and just his usual self. Olette eyes gleamed seeing Kairi reaction and wondering when Sora would see Kairi feelings as what they were.

Terra whispered to Aqua "It looks like Sora is more popular then we believed."

Aqua rolled her eyes and whispered back "Don't be ridiculous Terra, Sora would never do anything as clearly he loves Kairi."

Next was the Princess of Heart Cinderella who was an engaged Princess in her world Castle of Dreams. She was going to be married to the Prince of that world before her world fell to darkness and she was captured. She was a princess with Fair skin, blue eyes and long blonde hair in an elegant bun. She was currently wearing a fancy flowing white dress that left a slight neckline and her arms unclothed. She wore white gloves that almost covered her entire arms, a black choker on her neck, white earrings, white head band and her glass slippers. She had a regal princess look that had made her step family incredibly jealous.

"To think all these girls are only about Kairi age right now and they are all so wow." Lea said in amazement forgetting to keep his mouth shut as Kairi and Namine glared heatedly at him.

"Axel what is THAT suppose to mean?" Kairi said with a sweet smile and seemingly dark aura around her.

"Uh. Uh… uh.." Lea stuttered realizing he was playing with the kind of fire he did not like.

"I think what Lea is trying to say is he is used to girls like you, Xion and Namine wearing causal clothes and not elegant dresses or gowns." Isa piped in deciding to save his best friend for once. This settled the girls down as Lea sent him a thankful look. Isa rolled his eyes and sent a look saying 'you owe me'.

"Hello Master of the Keyblade Sora. My name is Cinderella." Cinderella greeted with smile and a bow.

Yen Sid raised an eyebrow and frowned at the phrasing while everybody rolled their eyes. 'It's just a turn of a phase geez you don't need to take it so literally Yen Sid." Riku said with a sigh as none of them believed Sora powers were of a Keyblade Master during his first adventure or even arguably his second one.

"Yeah after the trio were lost nobody even remembered the Keyblade for the most part so when one user comes to save the world, we would consider him the 'Master of the Keyblade.'." Lea decided to pipe up remembering how Axel and the Organization referred to Sora as a Keyblade Master not really knowing what it meant.

"Still he should've passed alongside me during our Mark of Mastery or at least formally acknowledged as one after his 3rd adventure." Riku said bitterly as Yen Sid frowned at the accusatory looks sent to him.

"Riku the title is a special privilege and cannot be handed out left and right." Yen Sid stated stoically.

Roxas glared at the old Master and stated somewhat snidely "Well Sora probably doesn't want to be acknowledged as a Master if its by you." This got mixed expression at the implications.

"That's Enough! Yen Sid is not the only Master who can perform a Mark of Mastery and certainly not the only one who can judge Sora's worth." Aqua shouted making the room calm again.

"Aqua you don't mean?" Ven said with wide eyes as he realized what she was trying to hint as Aqua sent him a wink.

"I dunno about 'Master' but glad to meet you too Cinderella." Sora said sheepishly as Cinderella looked amused at him.

"If you say so Sora. Thank you very much for releasing us from our slumber." Cinderella with a smile as she was pleased that Sora had a modest opinion on his skills.

This got grins from everyone and a beaming smile from Aqua as they saw that even after his first adventure Sora did not let the praise get to his head. His modesty and overall good heart drew people in.

The 5th Princess of Heart gathered there was Aurora born Princess from the land called Enchanted Domain. She was a very beautiful princess who was cursed by Maleficent to fall asleep for eternity but was rescued by True Love kiss only for her world to fall to darkness and be captured once again. Like Jasmine she appeared to physically more mature then the other princess with fair skin, blue eyes and blonde hair that she let flow to her lower back. She wore a stunning blue dress that hugged her body that left a small neckline, golden necklace and a golden tiara.

"So now that's all the Princess of Heart we met. Cinderella, Snow White and Aurora." Aqua noted pointing to each Princess as she spoke.

"You know its funny… We met 3 of them all those years ago but I think they forgot we had Keyblades too. They seem to think Sora's is the first one they have ever seen." Terra remarked getting thoughtful looks from everybody. To most people shock Ven had an answer.

"I think we probably faded from their memories as we were being subtle about being from a different world. Plus we only interfered in individual worlds which were still separate from each other ands not on the brink of collapse." Ven suggested getting impressed looks from everyone and a beaming smile and grin from Aqua and Terra respectively.

"That could easily be true Ventus. That is rather astute." Ansem the Wise praised making Ventus put his hand behind his head in embarrassment. Kairi and Riku shared a grin at the very Sora like motion.

"Hello Sora. My name is Aurora and like everyone else here wanted to talk and spread our thanks to you in person." Aurora spoke with a regal soft tone of voice with her face in a pretty smile.

"She is very beautiful." Roxas said with some awes as Xion frowned feeling some ugly feelings bubbling at Roxas admiring another girl.

"To think we saved them back then only for them to get captured after we left." Aqua said with a sigh as Mickey and Riku sent her looks of reassurance.

"No problem! Nice to meet you too Aurora and I am glad I get to talk to you girls in person as well!" Sora said excitedly as he felt it was his personal duty to make sure they were safe.

"Good old simple-minded Sora." Riku said a grin mirrored by Goofy and Donald.

'You guys like and Roxas get compliments from pretty girls and it passes over their head.'. Lea thought with a sigh.

The final Princess of Heart was Alice from Wonderland who despite not being royalty had the same pure light as the rest of her fellow Princesses. She was physically shorter then everyone else there being a year or two younger then Sora while everyone else was a few years older then Sora. She wore a blue dress and white apron on top along with knee length white socks and black shoes. She had blonde hair and blue eyes that spoke of innocence and curiosity.

"Huh She is younger then Sora or Kairi even." Aqua said interest as Alice appeared to be about 12 being even shorter then 14-year-old Sora.

"She is quite a cute girl." Kairi said with good cheer. Riku suspected her good mood was mainly based on the fact that Alice was younger then Sora so would eb least likely to attract Sora's attention.

"Hey Sora! I am glad to see you again!" Alice said happily as she waved to the person who tried so hard to prove her innocence in Wonderland.

Donald and Goody looked with remembrance at how hard Sora tried to prove Alice innocence despite it being one of the first worlds Sora had visited.

Aqua looked happy at such a cute girl was a pure light.

"Alice I am so glad to see you too! I got so worried when you disappeared!" Sora shouted with notable relief as he waved back to Alice.

Riku hid a smirk seeing Kairi good mood quickly change into annoyance.

"You were worried about me?" Alice stuttered with a flustered face which Sora didn't notice in his excitement.

"What is that girl doing?!" Kairi shouted at the Princess of Heart who looked very much interested in Sora more then strictly a friend. Xion and Namine looked annoyed as well the guys looked away trying to avoid Kairi's outrage to them.

"Ok I think maybe leaving Sora alone with them was a bad idea after all." Donald whispered to Goofy who gulped.

"Of course, I worried! I was trying to protect you after all!" Sora said with a grin as Alice face turn red in embarrassment.

"I see. Well thanks to you I am safe now! Plus we still need to reward you after all!" Alice said with her face still quite red. Jasmine shared a knowing smirk at Aurora who both had special someone's at home. They could tell the tell-tale signs of Alice having a schoolgirl crush on the dense Keyblade wielder.

"Crush?!" Kairi shouted in horror of the idea of a girl despite bit younger still rather pretty liking Sora in that way.

"Kairi I am sure nothing is going to happen. Its Sora after all." Riku said in a comforting voice as he patted Kairi shoulder. Kairi looked calmer but still had wide eyes that glared at Alice.

"Ok I think this 'reward' they keep mentioning is not going to be as innocent as we think." Lea said as Donald and Goofy looked skeptical as they remembered what happened afterwards.

"Reward? I thought I was here to talk?" Sora asked in confusion looking at the whistling Jasmine.

"You didn't tell him?" Belle asked in astonishment as Jasmine laughed nervously.

"Huh why would Jasmine hide the fact of a reward if its just Fire magic?" Donald whispered to a suspicious tone to Goofy who also looked confused.

"Slipped my mind hehe. Well Sora besides getting our names we felt it was only right we reward the hero who saved our hearts with something special." Jasmine said with a wink as Sora looked confused but excited.

"Special?" Everyone said with notable suspicion. Jasmine wink also did not ease Kairi worries that something bad (at least to her) was going to happen to Sora.

"But you can't tell anyone about this reward. This is something special just for you ok?" Snow added with a slight blush.

"Ok now I am thinking this might turn out intimate." Lea said a grin as Kairi glared heatedly at him. Aqua and Namine also glared at Lea for suggesting these things as Lea waved his hands in surrender.

"OF course! Whatever you have to give I am ready to take!" Sora said eagerly as the Princess smiled with some looking nervous.

This made everyone on edge especially with Kairi who did not notice everyone edge away from her as she edged closer to the screen.

What Sora did not expect was for Jasmine to walk up to him and wrap her arms around his neck and warmly hug him into her. Sora being several years younger however instead of his face being against her neck was pressed into her developing chest. Sora was not particularly interested in girls in a romantic sense but even he felt his face warm up when press against something soft yet firm.

The scene played out in just few seconds but that was more then enough for the entire room to explode in emotion. Kairi looked like a fish out of water with her mouth and eyes wide opened seeing the pretty Princess Jasmine hug Sora face into her very notable chest. Riku looked shocked at his best friend was being hugged quite intimately with someone that was not Kairi. Even Yen Sid and Ansem the Wise looked shocked beyond belief that Sora was having such a hug that was not the norm. Ienzo had a mild blush but looked more interested from a scientific position on why this was happening.

Aqua turned bright red at what she considered a hug that was not to be shown in public unless Sora was a very loving relationship. She was so shocked she did not notice the blushing Xion and Namine whisper to each other "so big.." with envy looking down at their own chest and Aqua's who looked comparable to the developing chest of Jasmine.

Ventus and Roxas both blushed at the hug although Roxas had a small smirk mixed in as he could not help feeling pride of his former other. Pence and Hayner had small blushes and looked away not wanting to be scolded by Olette who looked amazed at the display.

Lea whispered to Isa who looked shocked "Man Sora is becoming a man so fast. I feel proud of Sora getting so lucky." With a small tear coming from his eye.

"I don't think the Princess meant it as a romantic gesture. Stop being so dramatic Lea." Isa scolded.

Mickey, Donald and Goofy looked gobstopped especially as Sora NEVER mentioned this happened.

"How could Sora do this?" Kairi whimpered as she looked devasted as the shock started wearing off.

"Huh it's a hug? Is something bad about that?" Ven asked cluelessly as Kairi looked off guard at such a direct response.

"Ven! That kind of hug is not appropriate for somebody not a relationship!" Aqua tried to explain to Ven as she grabbed him and set him down on her lap.

"But we hug like that, you let me sleep on your lap." Ven revealed as Aqua blushed but still rubbed his hair gently as he put his head on her lap.

"It because I will always love you Ven and you are important to me." Aqua said sweetly as Terra rolled his eyes at their unique relationship.

Riku gestured to Terra who looked surprise but walked to Riku and Kairi while Ven and Aqua had their moment.

"What's wrong?" Terra asked his successor who looked at Kairi and back to Terra.

"What exactly is Ventus and Aqua's relationship?" Riku asked awkwardly as everyone except the named individuals looked eagerly at Terra who looked surprised.

"Um… Well Ven and Aqua always had a rather unique relationship that even they don't know how to describe." Terra admitted unhelpfully as Riku got back to looking at Aqua cuddling Ventus.

Luckily Jasmine did not grab into him tight enough to smother him so he squeaked "Jasmine what are you doing?!" as Jasmine simply smiled and giggled at how nervous Sora sounded.

"Well at least Sora is just confused and surprised by it as we are right?" Namine said with a weak smile trying to reassure her former other. Kairi nodded numbly still trying to understand why Jasmine felt the need to give (in her opinion) a much too personal hug.

Riku despite the situation was secretly rather amused by the look on Sora's face and mused that he probably would be just as surprised if not a little more composed. However, he knew he lacked Sora's natural charisma so something like this would probably never happen to him.

"Sora doesn't your world have people given each other hugs as signs of friendship?" Jasmine asked with amusement as she kept a hold on Sora who awkwardly pat her on the back.

Everyone turned to the Destiny Island duo who looked flabbergasted at the implications. "Of course, we do hugs! Maybe not the kind that Jasmine is giving to Sora but still we are not heartless monsters!" Riku said insulted as Kairi pouted at the unique hug given by Jasmine.

"I suppose for somebody like Jasmine who honestly sees this as just a way to show gratitude it is nothing special but for the rest of us it seems a bit too personal." Ansem the Wise mused as Kairi nodded eagerly as if trying to reassure herself that it was a one-time thing.

Truthfully Sora had no idea what to do in this situation. He had gotten quick hugs from Riku several times and with Kairi they hugged rather frequently. However he noted that he was taller then Kairi so their hugs usually involved Kairi having her face in his shoulder or neck but this hug with Jasmine was something new altogether as his face was in the chest of a woman taller then him and who he admitted was rather pretty.

The memory showed a quick 'guy hug' between Riku and Sora which lasted about 5 seconds with Riku nodding his head in agreement. However the hugs between Kairi and Sora were far more intimate and not awkward like the one with Jasmine and Sora. The memory showed Kairi lifting her arms up with Sora instantly going for a tight hug around her waist while she laid her head on his shoulder with the hug lasting at least a minute.

This brought a bright heartwarming smile from Kairi as she remembered how warm and safe she felt during the frequent hugs she shared with Sora.

"Wow those hugs seem so natural and well, perfect together." Olette squealed as she saw even as young teenagers Sora and Kairi seemed to just fit together as Aqua, Namine and Xion all smiled happily with smaller giggles.

Mickey gave Riku a questioning look who said quickly "Kairi and I didn't hug much. I kinda just pat her on the back or on the shoulder most of the time." When he saw the questioning looks, he said defensively 'Hey I always saw Kairi as a younger sister and hugging is their thing!"

Kairi grinned and beamed and said with a smirk "Well we always saw you as an older brother too!"

This happy scene made everyone happy to see Kairi out of her pouty mood due to the current memory.

However, Kairi still said in annoyance "Yes she is pretty Sora can we move on?!" as everyone could hear the jealously pouring out of her again.

"Uh… I mean I get hugs from my best friends sometimes but this is rather sudden…" Sora admitted as Jasmine pulled back but kept a hold of his shoulders as she looked him in the eyes.

"I would definitely say this was pretty sudden and out of the blue." Donald added as Goofy nodded as even they didn't know this was coming. Kairi stared suspiciously at Jasmine looking into Sora's eyes.

"Its ok Sora. Just remember if a girl gives you a hug like this it is ok to hug back but only if it is sign of friendship ok? Or if it giving someone a thank you for helping out." Jasmine lectured smiling when he nodded. She let go of his shoulders and walked back to the other princess as Sora tried to recover his wits.

Kairi blinked several times at the reasonable advice Jasmine gave Sora and brightened as soon as Jasmine left Sora's arms. "Sora doesn't need to ask if he wants a hug." Kairi said with a smile as everyone read 'from me' in her tone. Nobody felt like bringing up Jasmine was likely referring to other girls not Kairi.

As Sora was still trying to register why Jasmine all the sudden gave him a hug that he rather enjoyed he felt another warm hug envelop him. As he blinked and got flustered again, he registered it the beautiful princess of Enchanted Domain Aurora who like Jasmine let Sora face be hugged into her chest.

Kairi instantly got annoyed again as Namine reassured her this meant nothing particularly to Sora who looked more embarrassed then anything else.

Lea decided to add in unhelpfully "I guess its all the princesses get a turn hugging Sora huh?" as he winced at the glare sent by Kairi and Namine. "I am just saying I was surprised its all." Lea defended himself.

"Why are you surprised, they said reward." Riku asked impatiently.

"I just mean it seemed like Jasmine was not too far off a stretch since she and Sora seemed to be pretty good friends." Lea started as everyone saw Kairi eye twitched at the word 'friend' "But Aurora is somebody completely new to Sora so that is pretty shocking." Lea added as everyone looked thoughtful.

"I guess that true and the way Aurora handles herself it seems like she isn't the type to give out hugs to people she doesn't know so she must truly feel indebted to Sora." Terra mused as Kairi seemed unsure to feel happy these hugs were mostly formal or unhappy, they were happening at all.

"Sora you really shouldn't be embarrassed by something like this. Remember this is simply our way to say thank you for saving us." Aurora claimed with a smile as she understood given Sora age a hug like that would not be registered as romantic. She also understood that herself and her fellow princess was rather beautiful so it was understood that even affection like this could be seen as a big deal.

"If you want to say 'thank you' then just say it! There is no need to place Sora face into your top!" Kairi all but hissed as she glared heatedly at the beautiful Princess of Heart.

"Geez if Kairi is going to act this way, I don't want to know how she is going to act if Sora memories show what happens with him and Elsa…" Donald whisper to Goofy nervously as Riku stared curiously at the duo.

'The only people I know who could possibly think 'this is just a friendly hug' is Roxas, Ventus and Sora and they are all dense as hell when it comes to love. If I got a hug like that man oh man.' Lea thought to himself with a smirk. Isa sighed guessing his friends' thoughts.

Sora muttered awkwardly "If you say so…." As he could not help but feel the soft feel on the silk of Aurora dress. Along with the soft feel of her chest pressing against his face. He could not bring himself to place his hands on her back like he did with Jasmine as Jasmine he considered a friend but Aurora was a very pretty princess he didn't know. Aurora merely hummed for about a minute letting Sora enjoy the embrace before she backed off to the blushing Sora.

"Honestly I know we laugh at Sora expense a lot but Sora really does look out of place right now especially with Aurora." Riku said with sympathy as Kairi actually blinked realizing Sora looked super out of place and not really himself.

As everyone looked surprised at how awkward Sora was looking Namine could hear Kairi mumbling "Just 4 more." As she raised an eyebrow.

"Just 4 more hugs and he can get out of there!" Kairi said loudly getting surprised gasps from everyone. As most of the group there sent amused smirks at her she stuttered realizing she said it out loud "I mean he is super busy on his quest and everything hehe." Kairi stuttered looking away realizing she started sounding jealous over this fairly harmless act of gratitude.

Belle began walking towards Sora before she stopped. "Sora is this too much for you? If it is something that you are not ready for, we can stop?" Belle asked concerned as she couldn't tell if Sora actually enjoyed these hugs or not.

"That is remarkably sweet and observant of her." Aqua said in surprise as she and everyone else thought the Princess were going to do the hugs unless Sora explicitly said no. Which they figured due to his chivalrous attitude he wouldn't do even if it made him uncomfortable.

Kairi actually smiled at that as despite her own annoyance of the hugs in general she saw that Belle honestly cared how Sora felt about this. This made Namine smile at seeing Kairi not so jealous and more worried about Sora.

"Of course, I don't mind! Its just you princess are all so pretty and this is pretty new for me that's all..." Sora explained as the princess smiled sweetly at his honest remark. They all thought it was rather refreshing as they were used to being called beautiful but usually by lustful men or cute in Alice case. They could tell Sora honestly believed they were pretty in a sweet way.

"Aw!" all the girls cooed while Kairi merely smiled at Sora's honest and warm answer while the guys looked nervously at each other. They didn't know if they could've made a remark like Sora's and gotten away with it like he did.

"In that case just relax Sora and let things go at your own pace ok? If it is too much just speak up and we can end it." Belle said in soft warm voice getting Sora to nod back with less nervousness. Belle gently wrapped her arms around Sora letting his face rest against her golden dress and chest. After a few seconds Sora gently placed his hands against the small of her back-making Belle smile and tighten the hug so it was close but not suffocating.

The girls smiled at the warm display of friendship which made Kairi turn back to her sweet self. "Jasmine hug I guess was expected since they were friends beforehand, Aurora kind of just sprung it on Sora but Belle really took it slow almost like a start of a new friendship." Xion said in amazement which was mirrored by Roxas.

"Is there something you want to ask me Sora?" Belle asked sweetly noting that Sora furious blush turned into more a face of contentment.

"See Sora honestly doesn't think anything romantic about these hugs especially with Belle basically making it more of a causal get together then even a hug." Namine said reassuringly to Kairi who nodded back. Riku smiled seeing Namine and Kairi be close warmed his heart.

Aqua felt tempted to blush as she still felt the hugs were too personal but she thought that it was Sora business and not her own.

"Its just I knew you were all super pretty and kind but talking you princess feels so easy and warm." Sora admitted as the hug felt less awkward then the one with Aurora and he could almost feel light entering his body from the contact.

As Kairi eye twitched again and almost looked ready to yell at the Sora on screen Yen Sid sighed and decided to speak up. "Kairi it is a not romantic gesture. More of a sense of familiarity and the fact their heart is so pure and full of light Sora heart is merely accepting it into his own."

Kairi looked openly relieved while Riku just grinned at Sora tendency to make friends being taken the wrong way by Sora's love interest Kairi. Ventus tilted his head and looked up in realization.

"What's wrong Ven?" Aqua asked kindly as everyone attention shifted back to Ven.

"Its just Sora kinda has a point. I mean even for Terra, Aqua and I we were taught to have the uttermost respect for the Princess of Heart. Sora has never had formal training at this point but for him he must think the Princess of Heart besides Kairi are people who he can't just casually talk to." Ven said with seriousness making everyone blink.

"I never thought of it but the Princess do tend to come from royally so there aren't the kind of people who we would just ask for a casual chat like Sora is doing with them now." Riku noted nodding his head. "I guess we sometimes forget Kairi is one since Sora and I grew up with her basically from the beginning and she has been with us from the beginning." Riku added as everyone looked at Kairi who shrugged.

Kairi didn't see what the big deal was but she could understand why it wasn't quite so easy to talk tot the other Princess of Heart. She was still annoyed at Sora calling Belle and the other 'pretty' though.

"That's sweet Sora but did you think just cause we are maidens of light we would be all stuck up?" Belle teased enjoying Sora stuttering.

"That is quite a bit more normal response from her then I expected. She seems so dignified and polite but that was actually a pretty good joke." Lea admitted looking at Belle with a something new outlook.

"Of course not! Its just you are way nicer then I thought." Sora amended happy to see Belle smile at him happily.

Despite her support for Kairi Namine could not help but smile seeing Sora being so happy making another friend. Kairi looked happy as well as she could see that Belle honestly considered Sora a friend and him as well.

Meanwhile Jasmine smirked at the indignant look on Aurora face. "Geez he didn't know who Belle was before but look at how calm and friendly he is with her! I mean he was so awkward during our hug." Aurora complained with a pout.

This got a raised eyebrow from the group seeing the Princess of heart have their own conversation in the corner while Sora and Belle became much closer friends.

"She seems rather childish right now." Terra said awkwardly as he always thought she was rather dignified despite not talking to her personally.

"I guess you can't judge a book by her cover." Aqua noted seeing the Princess act rather upset by her awkward encounter with Sora.

"Well you did kinda give a him a hug without warning." Cinderella teased at the annoyed look on their fellow Princess of Heart.

"That's true and I think Sora was just being awkward being hugged be a girl he didn't know before." Roxas piped up getting a nod from Riku.

"Well Jasmine hugged him suddenly too!" Aurora was quick to point out.

"That sounds like a denial to me." Xion whispered to Roxas who laughed quietly.

"True I did but Sora and I were friends in Agrabah so I was pretty much just a step away from hugging him unlike you who just jumped on him without warning." Jasmine noted as Aurora huffed.

Kairi sighed and relented that Jasmine and Sora hug at its base was really just a friendly hug despite how pretty Jasmine was they both took it as the next step in their friendship. Namine smiled softly at Kairi and Aqua shrugged her shoulders.

"Plus Belle took the time to ease him in and ask him gently." Alice pointed out.

"I know all the Princesses aren't that much older then Sora was but it was definitely something else to see a girl a few years younger then Sora as one of the legendary Princess of heart." Xion decided to note seeing the younger girl being much shorter compared to the rest of the Princesses.

As Aurora continued to point Jasmine got a huge grin and asked "Wait do you perhaps want to give Sora another hug to make up for that one?" as Alice and Cinderella smirked at Aurora red face.

Kairi growled and shouted "I think one is more then enough! Thank you very much!" much to the amusement of the rest of the group. She was not pleased seeing Aurora embarrassed or even the thought of her actually wanting to go through with it.

Before she could respond Jasmine decided to ease her more. "What would Phillip think about his dear Princess wanting to give more then a friendly hug to the Keyblade hero Sora?" Jasmine teased a red face Aurora.

"I guess its nice to know she still has Prince Phillip waiting at home for her." Aqua said awkwardly as their teasing made her think it was being unfair to Aurora prince at home

"Jasmine really does have quite the teasing personality, doesn't she?" Mickey asked Donald and Goofy who nodded remembering their impression of the Princess to be rather friendly and informal.

Before Aurora could defend herself, Belle had come back and weaved at Cinderella for her turn. This time Sora hugged her at the same time she hugged him more or less used to the affection now in due part because of his chat with Belle.

"Hey look at this way Kairi. Sora doesn't nearly look as awkward now that he has a few hugs." Lea tried to console an annoyed Kairi.

Unfortunately for him this kind gesture was not appreciated by Kairi. "Well if a girl is going to hug him, they shouldn't corner him to do so!" She shot back with a glare making the taller redhead cower back.

"Is this weird for you girls to just hug me one after another?" Sora asked curiously.

"That is quite a good question." Riku pointed out although he figured the Princess honestly just saw this a gesture of appreciation and nothing else.

"Would any of the girls here mind if you hugged Sora one at a time?" Ventus asked innocently as Aqua looked embarrassed. Nobody answered the innocent question although Namine and Xion didn't appear to have a problem with it while Aqua looked rather flabbergasted.

"Nope should it be?" Cinderella asked innocently as she kept ahold of Sora back as his face was pressed into the front of her dress.

"I guess not. Its just weird for me that I get a chance to talk to and even be given hugs by all these pretty girls and I am just me." Sora admitted as Cinderella cooed softly.

This got rather shocked looks from everyone except Xion and Roxas and to a lesser degree Ventus.

"Does Sora actually have such a low opinion of himself he actually thinks he isn't worth it?" Riku asked quietly with some anger on behalf of his best friend. Kairi looked rather upset as well as most of the others didn't not what to say.

"Sora kinda feels even if he wasn't here somebody else like Riku could easily take his place." Roxas admitted with a sigh getting wide eyes from the rest of the group.

"Well he's wrong! Nobody could replace Sora! He is the one who saved me and brought us altogether and nobody could have done that except him!" Riku shouted back as Namine, Kairi, Roxas and Xion smiled at Riku.

"We shall have to remember to tell him that when he returns right?" Xion asked Kairi who beamed.

"Yeah it can be like a surprise birthday party! It is the least we can do!" Kairi answered back with a huge smile. She looked at the rest of the group who chuckled and nodded in agreement.

"We are not that special and I am sure some day you will find a special someone who has the same dreams and hopes as you do Sora. Then you will see how remarkable you really are." Cinderella told him as he looked thoughtful. Cinderella gave him one last smile as she let go and let Sora head pop out of her embrace.

Everyone looked at Kairi who couldn't help but stare at Sora with an expression like 'If I had the entire life with you now it still wouldn't be enough time'. and they all knew she was the one Cinderella was talking about.

"These Princesses are so polite and modest too." Ienzo noted with wonder as he heard tales of them as Ansem apprentice but never met them in person.

"I guess sometimes we forget no matter who they everyone is just a person and they all special." Riku noted wisely getting some nods in return.

Next was Snow White who happily hugged him with Sora thinking to himself 'Hmm her hug gives me the same feeling of light as the rest but for some reason here doesn't seem to be as much push back when my face is in her chest?'. He luckily did not say his thoughts out loud as Snow White had naturally more petite measurements then the other princess despite them all being roughly the same age.

"Wow Sora is kind a pervert to notice that." Lea said with a laugh as he saw the girls all give the Sora in the memory a dirty look.

"I mean Snow White looks pretty as well but she does look a bit less in the front of her dress." Ventus decided to speak up as the girls sighed as they realized like Ventus Sora was too innocent to actually notice something like that. He only remarked in his mind due to the way the hug was structured.

Kairi still looked annoyed at the hug itself but didn't yell out due to accepting that Sora merely did it because they offered not because he actually asked for the hugs.

"Sora did you enjoy talking to us today?" Snow White decided to ask as she enjoyed getting to know their shared hero better but didn't know if Sora himself enjoyed it.

"I wonder if she is a singer? She has a very musical sounding voice." Ventus asked Aqua eagerly.

"I am sure she does in her spare time Ven." Aqua said warmly smiling happily at Ven's happy expression.

"Of course I did! Although it was kinda new for me to get these kinds of hugs." Sora told her.

"Consider I have only seen Sora hug Kairi I would definitely say these are new kinds of hugs." Riku agreed missing how Donald and Goofy shared a quick look thinking back their first adventure.

"Well if you ever visit any of our worlds come find us ok? I am sure all of us would love to show you our worlds and perhaps chat again." Snow said with a chuckle as she let go to look at his face. Sora grinned in return as the Princess gave shouts of agreement.

"Do you guys ever see them again?" Kairi asked curiously.

Donald thought for a moment and said "Well we see Belle and Jasmine on our second adventures but no we don't see the other princess again." Kairi looked relieved as she thought Belle and Jasmine honestly only saw Sora as a friend especially with their special other waiting back in their worlds.

The Last Princess of Heart was Alice who beamed at Sora and ran up to him to wrap her arms around his waist. She was shorter then him due her younger age so this time her face was in his chest.

"Aw! That's so cute!" Namine squealed in delight seeing a rather touching moment. All the girls also cooed at the scene with even Kairi showing no signs of jealously. In her mind Alice was way too young to like Sora especially since the hug looked rather liked a younger sibling hugging an older one.

The guys snickered seeing Sora get a hug from a girl even shorter then he was.

"Hey Alice." Sora said simply with a smile as he gently pat her head and kept a hold of her shoulders. Due to the fact Alice was not a grown woman he was at ease even more with Alice then Jasmine or Belle.

"Sora looks rather at ease." Ienzo noted comparing Sora being embarrassed to him at ease hugging Alice.

"Of course, to Sora this is him greeting a younger friend and not him being rushed by an older girl." Riku replied as he saw Sora without a care in the world.

"Hi Sora! Did you miss me?" Alice asked with a chirp. She didn't think she had a crush on Sora but she did consider Sora a good friend so a hug was the least she could do.

Kairi happy smile faltered a bit hearing Alice thought of possibly liking Sora but she let it pass seeing it impossible.

"I miss all my friends including you Alice. I hope when the worlds are safe, we can remain in each others heart forever even if the worlds become separate again." Sora said seriously making Alice hug him tighter while the princess awed at his pure answer.

"Didn't Leon tell Sora that and he is just copying it?" Donald whispered to Goofy.

"Yeah but let Sora have his moment." Goofy whispered back seeing the room looked impressed with Sora's logic.

As Alice eventually let go of Sora he waved to the princesses and started walking back to where Donald and Goofy were waiting.

"Well that was rather entertaining!" Riku said with a grin and the room laughed except Donald and Goofy. They thought Sora was gone for a least several more minutes.

To his surprise he felt two soft hands from 2 different people grab his softly. As he turned around, he saw both Aurora and Jasmine with warm smiles on their faces as he looked on confusion.

"Huh what's happening? I thought he was leaving?" Kairi asked in confusion and with a frown seeing the Princes drag Sora back. She looked back at Donald and Goofy who shrugged helplessly.

"Ok they talked to him personally and hugged him to their chests. What more can they want with him?" Lea wondered out loud as everyone shared looks of confusion.

He saw them crouch down to his eye level. Before he could react, he saw their faces close on his and felt their warm bodies close in on his arms.

Kairi looked wide eyed seeing this act unfold in the memory as she thought "What's happening?".

He felt something warm and soft touch each of his cheeks for about 10 secs before the pressure disappeared and he saw both Aurora and Jasmine with mild blushes still holding onto his hands. His face turned scarlet when he realized that the 2 very beautiful princesses had kissed his cheeks at the same time!

"What are they doing to Sora?!" Kairi screamed seeing the Princesses give a brief but warm kiss to Sora's cheeks while Sora stood there like an idiot.

"Oh my." Aqua whispered putting a hand over her face as she blushed seeing the memory take place. Truth be told she had never kissed anyone before and seeing this public sign of affection buffered her.

Ventus and Roxas looked shocked with mild blushes while Lea whistled in appreciation. Xion blushed and looked at Roxas longingly for a moment. Terra and Isa merely raised an eyebrow while Riku looked shocked at his best friend getting a prize like that.

The other princess giggled at Sora very surprised face while Jasmine and Aurora looked abit embarrassed but still pleased as they gently let go and moved back to the group.

"Don't tell me that they all plan to kiss Sora?" Riku whispered with wide eyes as he could see the slight movement of the group.

Mickey, Donald and Goofy looked shocked as well despite sharing kisses with their others they never thought somebody would randomly kiss Sora even just ion the cheeks.

Sora had stopped moving altogether and just mumbled "Uh… Uh…." Unable to respond to his first kiss(es) even if it was just on the cheeks. He was not prepared once again when Belle and Cinderella crouched to his level and sandwiched him between their bodies.

"Yup Sora brain has left the buildings ladies and gentleman." Lea announced as Roxas looked confused.

"I don't how I would react if a girl kissed me like that." Roxas admitted as Xion looked thoughtful before blinking and looking away.

Namine blinked with a flustered look as she never thought about kissing anyone before so seeing Sora getting kissed made her feel weird.

"Wait you don't have to…" Sora started but his mind blanked once again when Belle and Cinderella gave him a warm smooch on each cheek for about 10 secs. Unbeknownst to Sora due each Princesses lipstick his cheeks had distinctive red marks from where he was kissed. As Sora was once again temporarily unable to think both princesses let go of his face but still sandwiched him in between their bodies. Cinderella saw the lipstick marks and pointed them to Belle who giggled in amusement. Cinderella let go and went back with a bow but Belle stayed a couple seconds longer. She gave Sora a fond look at and gently rubbed his cheek before she walked back.

The memory zoomed on Sora flustered face to show the slightly different shades of red and pink lipstick on each part of Sora's cheeks. The group looked nervously at Kairi who looked furiously especially seeing Belle linger and stroke Sora cheek.

'I don't know if Sora is the luckiest guy in the world and the unluckiest cause when he gets back, I think Kairi is going to kill him. Not that I think he deserves it just standing there unprepared but he is on his own.' Lea thought to himself with both envy and fear for Sora.

Kairi decided to go her instincts and ran over to a scared Donald and started shaking him. "How could you let this happen to Sora?!" She screamed to the terrified Donald so could not reply back.

"Kairi me and Donald didn't see Sora till it was over and we didn't know about this!" Goofy tried to explain to Kairi who stopped shaking Donald but still looked furious.

"Uh guys the memory clearly shows the marks on his cheeks. How did you not notice them and think something was off?" Roxas asked awkwardly pointing to the clear marks as Kairi returned to glaring at Donald and Goofy.

"They weren't there when we found Sora!" Donald explained as everyone blinked and Kairi calmed down.

"Perhaps a spell was used or maybe it washed off?" Ienzo wondered out loud.

Sora was trying to process what was happening as Snow walked forward with a smile. This time Sora didn't have a chance to talk before Snow White placed her hands on his shoulders and gave a quick kiss on the forehead, nose and both cheeks with the cheeks lasting 5 seconds each. Sora felt his body start to shutdown due to not knowing how to process these kisses.

Kairi started grinding her teeth as both Namine and Riku tried calming down the raging princess.

"Excuse me can I interject?" Ienzo asked making everyone stare at the scientist. "Now I cannot say for sure that the other princess of heart didn't have any romantic interest at all." He started as Aqua shot him a quick glare. "However, I think it is pretty clear that Snow White has no romantic interest in Sora at all." Ienzo said calmly.

"How can you say that?! She kissed him 4 times while everyone else just did a kiss on the cheeks!" Kairi practically growled. This made everyone but Ienzo step back.

"True however the kiss on the forehead and nose is what is normally associated with a mother or older sibling using familiar love for a child or younger sibling. It would hardly be romantic even in the most drastic of situations." Ienzo explained calmly.

Kairi blinked and smiled as she realized the truth of the words.

"That was rather well thought out." Isa said with some amazement as everyone slowly nodded their heads.

"I am not surprised even among my apprentices I always did think little Ienzo and Even were the brightest." Ansem noted out loud.

"Thank you so much Master!" Ienzo cried in happiness glad his master held no ill will for his role in Ansem banishment.

Finally Alice ran into Sora and grabbed his face much to his confusion. She had a massive blush but grabbed Sora's face and pressed her lips against his. It was her first kiss and Sora's as well making this a special moment for Alice while every princess gasped at Alice brave actions. It only lasted a few seconds before Alice pulled back but by then Sora had passed out due having his first kiss on the lips taken in such a random setting.

Everyone jaws dropped seeing Sora get a light but definitely first smooch on the lips by the cute younger Princess. Everyone turned when they heard a 'Thud' and saw Kairi black out like Sora in the memory.

The memory had abruptly ended but to everyone shock the room did not reset indicating it was not over yet.

"Kairi!" Namine and Aqua yelled in worry as Aqua picked up the fainted girl in her arms and gently tried waking her up. Kairi gently opened her eyes and started looking down sadly.

"Sora has kissed other girls and yet we haven't even…" Kairi cried as the guys looked awkwardly at the distraught girl not knowing what to do.

"Kairi. I will make this very simple. Other girls kissed Sora by surprise. He didn't not initiate it or even appear to register them besides fainting." Namine told Kairi seriously as the two girls blue eyes looked into each other.

"But he didn't push them away." Kairi said quietly with a hiccup.

"He didn't because he didn't how to react." Riku said gently putting a hand on her shoulder as she still looked unsure.

"Kairi my appearance is based on what Sora considered most important and even after all this time I still look like you. Inside his heart is memories of you and those are the most important to him. Isn't that proof enough he truly wants to spend his life with you forever?" Xion told Kairi who gave a watery smile.

"I guess you guys are right. Its just surprising." Kairi admitted as the memory went back into focus.

The memory blacked out and came back into the focus with the unconscious Sora on the floor surrounded by worried Princesses.

"Ok maybe we went a little too far with the kisses." Jasmine admitted as they saw Sora clearly was not ready.

"Sora was definitely not ready." The room chorused as Kairi huffed since she realized how much she wanted to kiss Sora now.

"Yeah we should've at least let him know what was going on before we gave him the rewards." Cinderella added.

"I think it was Sora's first kisses ever." Belle noted seeing Sora pass out was a pretty big reaction.

"It was!" Roxas, Xion, Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy all chorused at the same time.

"We will take you word for it since you guys know him best." Lea said with a chuckle.

"It probably was his first. However, we all gotten kisses before right?" Aurora asked to her fellow Princess. She saw Cinderella and Snow White nod while Jasmine looked away, Alice looked embarrassed and Belle blushed slightly.

"Wait Jasmine, Alice and Belle technically gave away their first kisses to Sora?" Ventus asked in shock.

"Especially since Jasmine and Belle had somebody waiting for them in their home worlds?" Aqua asked indignantly.

As everyone considered this Lea decided to pipe up. "Guys its just a kiss on the cheek. If Namine and Xion weren't so shy they probably would've done it to Riku and Roxas by now." Lea said with a grin.

"What?!" Namine and Xion said loudly. Riku looked bewildered at Namine who looked away with a blush. Roxas looked confused at Xion who turned scarlet waving her hands in front of her defensively.

"Wait you mean you 3 gave your first kisses to Sora just now?" Snow asked in shock.

"That's what we wanted to know!" Hayner shouted in excitement making Olette sigh and Roxas laugh.

Belle stuttered "I mean it was just on the cheek so it doesn't really count right?" making Aurora grin at how Belle tried to play it off.

"That kind of reactions makes me think she actually kind of enjoyed it even though she doesn't think ti counts." Riku whispered with a grin to Mickey who shrugged.

"I dunno buddy." Mickey whispered back.

"First of it all it was just on the cheek so it was just a friendly gesture. Second of all I think my first kiss will still be with Aladdin on the lips so no I did not 'give away' my first kiss." Jasmine claimed defiantly.

"I guess that kind of logic kinda works." Ansem said with an exasperated sigh making everyone laugh.

"Alright whatever you say Jasmine but that kiss of the lips from Alice definitely counted as a first." Aurora continued as everyone turned to the red face Alice.

"Yeah Alice I thought we all agreed it was just kisses on the cheeks but you went for his lips! Why?" Cinderella said in amazement at Alice boldness.

"So, the shocked looks were for real. They really did expect to only make friendly kisses on the cheeks." Terra noted as Kairi sighed in relief that nobody intended to kiss Sora on the lips except Alice shockingly.

"Well I meant for the cheek like we agreed but he reminded that it could be the last time we see him and I don't know… My heart just told me and I had to do it and I don't mind at all." Alice admitted as she smiled looking at Sora.

"I guess since it's an one time thing and she was desperate I can live with it." Kairi said with a sigh as Donald and Goofy shared a look since they never went back to Wonderland afterwards. Aqua smiled at how grownup Kairi sounded while Namine beamed at her.

"Did it feel… nice?" Belle asked wanting to know but she blushed when she got amused looks from the other princesses.

"I am pretty sure she is curious since she has never done it before, not in particular looking to see how Sora lips feels." Riku assured the annoyed Kairi.

"I actually find it kinda cute that Belle is that embarrassed just asking about it." Xion admitted with a giggle as Roxas smiled at her.

"Sora lips felt warm and it kinda felt nice although it was pretty quick." Alice recounted as Belle looked sheepish.

Kairi huffed at the (in her opinion) too vivid of a description of Sora's lips. Aqua, Namine and Xion all looked flustered for a second thinking about how their first kisses would be like.

"Uh what should we do with Sora when Donald and Goofy come back as its been about 30 minutes since we sent them out?" Jasmine asked nervously as she did not want what happened to spread around.

"Hmm maybe we should enhance his magic with our powers so Sora can have some help on his journey?" Belle suggested as she got nods of approval.

"They tricked us! They told us boosting his fire magic is why it took so long and why he passed out!" Donald shouted in indignation as everyone had looks of realization.

"I see. That is why you guys weren't suspicious on why Sora was gone for so long." Mickey noted as Donald and Goofy nodded their heads sheepishly.

They quickly knelt down to Sora level and used their light magic to envelop Sora body making him glow red for a minute. Cinderella quickly noticed another problem as she saw the lipstick marks on Sora cheeks and lips which would not be easy to explain. Luckily when the upgrade was done Sora face returned to his normal look with all the red marks gone as a result of the magic.

"Well I guess it was lucky for everyone the magic actually healed and erased the lipstick marks. It would've been pretty hard to hide those." Ventus said with amusement as Donald glared at a sheepish looking Roxas. Roxas shrugged his shoulders for calling Donald out from before.

Several minutes later Donald and Goofy walked back in due to Donald impatience.

"I hope that knucklehead is done with his talk so we can get out of here!" Donald grumbled in annoyance before Goofy pointed to Sora.

As everyone turned to Donald he huffed. "Hey if I knew Sora was going to get ambushed, I would've stopped them!" Donald said confidently.

"I wouldn't call it an 'ambush" more a "surprise reward." Lea said a grin to Isa who rolled his eyes.

"Sora are you ok?" Goofy exclaimed seeing Sora prone body.

"Its ok. We decided to enhance Sora fire magic after our chat but the power increase caused Sora to pass out from the added power." Jasmine explained with a smile.

"Wow they are amazing liars. They told part of the truth and said in such a way it could have been true." Isa noted ignoring the grumbling from Kairi and Namine.

"It should be fine once you go back your ship and put some healing magic on him." Aurora added making Donald and Goofy sigh in relief as Goofy picked up Sora.

"Oh Yeah! Tell Sora to visit us in any of worlds any time ok?" Alice added with a huge smile.

'Yeah I am sure you would love for Sora to visit! Maybe practice some more kissing?' Lea thought to himself with a grin. Roxas and Xion saw the look on his face and shuddered.

"Can do! See you later!" Donald said as him and Goofy walked away not noticing the Princess collective sigh of relief.

"Wow this memory really does clear up some missing parts in our journey." Donald noted to Goofy who nodded.

The memory changed to inside the gummi ship when Sora heard Donald yell "Heal" as Sora slowly woke up.

"Says I never heal him. Yeah right!" Donald grumbled at Sora claiming he used more potions due to Donald 'never healing him'.

"Had a nice nap and chat did we?" Donald asked as Sora blinked.

"Oh yeah I passed out." Sora yawned before blushing remembering what caused him to pass out. This made Donald and Goofy snicker. "What's so funny?" Sora demanded reigning in his blush.

"Wow you two look pretty smug for Sora passing out." Ven said drily as the two looked sheepish.

"Sorry its just we thought it was funny he passed out because of a magic upgrade. We didn't know he was overloaded because of that." Goofy admitted.

"Its ok Sora to be embarrassed about passing out from having your fire magic enhanced." Goofy said kindly as Donald laughed out loud.

At this point everyone laughed including Kairi at how silly it would've been if that was the case.

'Is that what they think happened? I guess I do feel my Fire magic being more powerful so its not technically a lie. Plus I did promise I wouldn't tell anyone so I guess I can let them believe that story for now.' Sora thought to himself as Donald kept laughing.

"I will admit it. Never thought Sora could keep a secret from us I guess I was wrong." Riku admitted as most of the room nodded their heads. It was well known Sora typically wore his heart on his sleeve and had a difficult time lying.

"Well now that that…. Entertaining memory is done I wonder what Sora wants to show us next?" Roxas said with a grin.
