Jessica's Point of View

The week passed by quickly. Soon it was time to leave. Daddy came by to pick me up. "Bye Mommy." I said. "Bye Jess. Take care." Mommy smiled. Daddy waved bye and took me through the dark corridor.

"Did you have a good time?" Daddy asked. "Yeah. Mommy let me have ice cream for breakfast this morning! She said it was to get me hyper so I'll cause problems for you." I giggled. "I see. How very like her." Daddy chuckled. "What do you mean?" I wondered. "Well, when we were younger, she was always playing pranks on me. She thought they were hilarious." Daddy sighed. "Oh cool. So, do I have to go on a mission today?" I asked. "Yes. How else are we going to get all that energy from the sugar out of you?" Daddy asked. "You could take me to a playground." I suggested. "No." He stated. "What about the ruins of Radiant Gardens? It's deserted and I can look around for cool things that were left behind?" I pleaded. He stopped suddenly and I immediately felt guilty. He gets really sad- well he seems to remember sadness whenever Radiant Gardens is mentioned.

"Daddy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that, it just slipped." I apologized. "I know Jessica. Look, if you want to skip your mission, take it up with Xemnas. I'm not the one to talk to." He sighed. He kneeled down and hugged me close.

"Have I ever told you that you mean so much more to me than Radiant Gardens ever did?" He asked. I thought back.

"Um, no. I don't think so." I replied. "Well I want you to know that. You are the best gift I have ever received." He said. He let go of me and we went out of the dark corridor.
