Jessica's Point of View
Daddy took me Xemnas' office. Xemnas was sitting at his desk.
"I brought her back as you requested Lord Xemnas." Daddy announced. "Thank you. Go report to Saix." Xemnas ordered. Daddy left the room.
"I should probably go too." I sighed. "Wait. I want to hear about your trip." Xemnas said. "You can hear about it after I get back. You're going to take me out again, right?" I groaned. I just want to get done with my mission take a nap, go with Xemnas, and be done with my day.
"No, I'd like to hear about it now." Xemnas stated. "Oh, come on! You always do this to me! You always want to take up my time! I get it okay?! I make you sane! But do you ever consider that my sanity might be breaking?!" I huffed. Saix barged in.
"Sir, Xigbar is causing trouble again." Saix reported. "Very well. Come Jessica. We will go together. You may go ahead Saix. We'll be taking the long way." Xemnas replied. I gulped. The long way would be not using a dark corridor. Xemnas always used dark corridors. I must be in a lot of trouble for getting mad. We started walking to the Grey Area.
"You're growing up." He sighed. "What?" I asked. "Do you remember when you first joined the Organization?" Xemnas asked. "No, not really." I replied. "When we started going places together, you would cling to me as if your life depended on it. Once, you decided to let go of my hand because you had ice cream in one hand and a seashell that you had found in your other. You accidentally got lost for a small amount of time and when you found me again, you dropped that seashell into the ground to hold my hand again. You cried and begged me not to leave you alone again. Look at you now. Your becoming more independent." He sighed. I remember some of when I did that. It was because I was afraid of losing Terra completely. We got to the Grey Area, but the lights were off. It was pitch black. Suddenly, the light came on revealing that everyone was there.
"Welcome home!" They exclaimed. What? What is this?
I looked around. There was a cake and some snacks on one of the tables and hanging in front of the banner said "Welcome Home," and there were balloons everywhere.
"You guys did all this for me?" I gasped. "Well sure. Why not?" Axel chuckled. "Thank you, everyone." I smiled. Soon everyone was talking and having a good time. Xemnas was talking to Saix. I tugged at his coat. He looked down at me.
"I'll go check on Xigbar and make sure he's not getting into trouble for real." Saix said. Xemnas nodded and Saix walked away. Xemnas looked down at me.
"I'm sorry about my complaining earlier. I was kind of upset that I had to go back to work right away." I apologized. "That's alright. I'm not upset." He assured me. "Are we going out after this?" I wondered. "No. I didn't ever mean to inconvenience you. We won't do anything today." Xemnas sighed. "N-no. It's not like that. I want to... I want to spend time with you. I... I like spending time with you." I said, and I realized it was true. I almost... I almost lost him. I almost lost everyone. Almost losing everything I cared about for a third time made me realize just how precious every moment in the Organization is, because someday, there might not be an Organization XIII and everyone I care about will die again, so I have to make the time I do have last.
"If that is what you truly desire, then it shall be." Xemnas replied. I hugged him.
"Jessica-" He started. "Yeah?" I asked. "Oh nothing. Never mind." He laughed.
Once I let go, I looked around the room. Xemnas, Daddy, Zexion, Axel, Saix, Lexaeus, Xaldin, and even Xigbar are my family. Who knows maybe Demyx will be too someday. As long as I have my family, I'm home.
Thank you Samantha for your review.
