Jessica's Point of View
I was in my room, hugging my pillow pet when Xemnas went to the doorway. "Jessica, come." He ordered. I sighed and followed him through a dark corridor. This is our "special time" together. He takes me places and we talk. The thrill of seeing where he will take me next has long worn off on me. Master Yen Sid says that it's good for me to be around him, but I hate doing it everyday.
"Today we will be going somewhere a little different. I have have a surprise for you." He said inside the dark corridor. "Oh, okay. Hey Xemnas? I was wondering about something." I said cautiously. "What is it Jessica?" He asked. "Well see, I'm going to visit my mother tomorrow." I started. Xemnas knows about my situation and let's me see my mother at least monthly, sometimes more, but this time, I wanted to do something special because it was my mother's birthday.
"Yes, I am aware. Is there something you want?" He asked. "Well I..." I trailed off, not having the courage to say it. I bit my lip. He stopped suddenly. "Maybe you'll be able to ask me later dear. Right now, I need you to listen to me. What you're about to see will be very sad and emotional for you. It will upset you, but I think you will be glad that I showed it to you later on. Are you ready?" He asked. I nodded, mentally kicking myself for not saying it. We stepped out of the dark corridor. I almost cried at what I saw. Uncle Ansem's computer room. Xemnas put a disk in the slot and typed in words. A secret door opened. We went down a bunch of stairs and we finally got to a white room with a chair in the middle. In front of that chair was a suit of armor. Aqua's armor. Tears poured down my face. "Jessica-" Xemnas said, putting a hand on my shoulder. I slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me! I hate you! I hate Terra for being stupid! I hate Xehanort for taking everything away from me! I hate you for showing me this! I hate you!" I screeched. I ran up the stairs and went to my old room and continued sobbing uncontrollably. Eventually, Xemnas found me, or maybe he always knew where I was and decided to wait. He came into my room and sat next to me on the bed. This will not help me get what I want.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." I said between sobs. He gently pushed me down onto my bed so I was laying down. He started to leave, but I grabbed his coat. He turned to me. "Don't leave me." I sobbed. He lied down next to me on the bed and held me in his arms. I curled up close to him in a ball. He smells so nice, almost familiar. I quickly fell asleep.
Jessica's Dream
I was Princess Serenity in my room on the moon. A man was there, but I couldn't make out who he was. He was sitting on my bed with me and we had one wayfinder in each of our hands.
"There's a legend that on a world far away from here, there's this tree with star shaped fruit, and when you eat it, you form an unbreakable connection, and when you carry charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other." He explained. "Next time, you need to bring me the fruit. It's in the world you were sent to, right? That's how you know the legend. Can you bring it for me, please?" I begged. "I can try Princess, but Mother would not be happy about it." He sighed. "Oh come on, she wouldn't mind. Please?" I pleaded. "I will do my best." He assured me.
When I opened my eyes, Xemnas was sitting next to my bed watching me. I sat up.
"I'm really sorry about what I said. I was upset." I apologized. "I know. It's alright. I was expecting a reaction and that's what happened." Xemnas assured me. "Xemnas, will you take me there again?" I asked. "Not today, but we will go again. Perhaps after you get back from your trip." Xemnas said. Now's as good a time as any, although he probably won't say yes. "Oh, there was something I wanted to ask you about that actually. It's kind of my mom's birthday and she said I could if I get permission, so I was kinda, sorta, maybe, wondering if you would let me spend the week at my mother's place?" I asked, bracing myself for the "no" that was about to happen. "If that is what you want, then that is what you will do." He agreed. "Wait, really?! What about Kingdom Hearts?!" I gasped. "Well, I wasn't going to tell you, but your keyblade isn't collecting hearts. We think it's because you are the Princess of Light and Darkness." Xemnas explained. "What does that even mean?" I asked. "I'll tell you when you're older." He smirked. "Fine. But if you can't use me, then why am I still with the Organization?" I wondered. "Because you... are the only thing that is keeping me sane." Xemnas replied. "Is that why you spend time with me every day? To keep yourself under control?" I questioned. "Correct. We can talk more when you get back, but I think you should get packing right now." He mentioned. We went back to The Castle That Never Was.
Samantha: I'm glad you enjoy it. One of these days, I'm gonna have to go back and fix my previous chapters.
