King of Hearts
Chapter 7 New Wonders

The Gummi ship landed with a crash and a crunch. Star stepped out first and gave a little smile.

"Ah.I can fix it. * Laughs *" Star slowly turned around and jogged to the weapons shop.

As they enter they hoped to see Daiken, and they did. He was on the other side of the counter polishing a pokemon ball.

"Daiken!" Star flung across the counter, but instead of hugging Daiken, as he guessed, she snatched the pokemon ball right out of his hands and began to try to pry it open. "Stupid ball.open!" Star ignored all the curious eyes looking in her direction.

"A Star I." Autumn went to interrupt.

"Not now can't you see I'm busy!" Star continued to attempt to pry it open.

"Fine!" Autumn turned and headed out the door.

* ~ Outside ~ *

"Ah, Autumn we've been looking for you." A mysterious voice arose from a dark corner.

" Hmmm, what a surprise. Let's go!" Autumn turned past the mystery figure and they both disappeared into the darkness.

* ~ Inside ~ *

"Daiken, we need a doctor." Dawson brought Kitty to the center of the room.

"Yes, I know who just to see, follow me!" Daiken led them through the first district and the second, finally to the third where the pasted threw a door that had a flame on it.

The door led to a closed pond with stepping stones the moved, which led to a small island in the center with a house. They began to hop from stone to stone.

"Is this a good time to mention that I can't swim?" Ryu said sarcastically.

Ryu went to hop the next stone, but missed and landed in the water.

"Ryu." Daiken sighed and jumped into the water. "Keep going!" Daiken yelled before he dived under.

"Let's go Star. Star?" Dawson looked behind, but there was no Star. Dawson run past the front door to the back and then entered a room that was light with warmth. "Merlin?" Dawson looked around the pile of books.

"Dawson is that you? I haven't seen you in ages!" Merlin ran to him giving him a good pat on the back.

"Can you help Shadow Cat." Dawson turned Kitty towards the bed.

"Most certainly! Leave now, come back tomorrow." Marlin right away looked at Kitty, "Dawson who was this battle with."

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you!" Dawson laughed and ran outside.

* ~ Outside the door ~ *

"Dawson is everything taken care of?" Daiken asked.

"Yeah." Dawson looked at the dripping wet Daiken and then at the soaked Ryu. He tried to hold back his laughs as the headed to Angel's home right above the Weapon shop.

Once they reached Angel's home Dawson was relieved to see Star there. Angel turned and smiled at Dawson. In response he blushed. "Hi Angel." Dawson said as he sat down in a chair by Star.

"Dawson, its been a long time no?" Angel smiled.

"Angel I almost forgot. Me and Kitty, well that is kitty and I beat this guy, who was pretty tough, named Ansem. He seemed to know me, but how?" Star looked at Angel's white face.

"I'll be back!" Angel darted out and Daiken followed.

Dawson decided to engage Star in a conversation. "So."

* ~ On the roof ~ *

Angel looked at the stars,

"Angel? I know what you're thinking." Daiken sat past her. "Star and her spirit right?"

Angel nodded.

"I see. Perhaps she is not doing it. Perhaps he does it?" Daiken looked at Angel with deep compassion.

"How do you know it is a he!?" Angel jumped Daiken.

"Well, isn't obvious. Star has the same attitude." Daiken smiled at Angel.

"I don't know." Angel ignored Daiken and put her hands behind her head.

"Well, before Star wonders what has become of us I'm going back." Daiken stood up.

"Daiken?" Angle whispered.

"Don't worry I won't say a word, but I'm giving her this!" Daiken showed a charmed necklace that had a picture of a keyblade.

"Alright." Angel sighed and gazed off into the stars.

Daiken headed down to the room where Dawson and Star were enjoying hot chocolate. "Dawson can I talk to Star alone." Daiken looked at Star. I hope this goes well.

"Sure." Dawson left Star and headed outside.

"Star.I want to give you this." Daiken handed Star the charm.

"What will it do for me?" * sweatdrop * Star looked oddly at the charm.

"Well, well if you don't." Daiken began.

"No I like it but how will it help me." Star looked closed the charm in her fist.

"Who knows, maybe one day it will." Daiken dropped a hint, (If you did not get it, let god help you) but Star just appear confused.

Daiken stood up and walked quietly out the door. Star just sat there, puzzled looking at the charm. It did feel rather magical or maybe it was just her mind, but Star felt a presence of well a ghost. She quickly turned her head behind her after a ghostly chill breezed through the room. In a nervous matter Star rose and began towards the door, but. all of sudden Star felt a rush of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and ideas go through her head and then, with too much stress collapsed. The charm fell just beside her, but if this wasn't already weird enough it was glowing.

~ Now some people say you dream when you pass out, others say that you just draw a blank. Well I like dreams, here we go. ~

Star's dream or is it?

Star sat up in the room she had passed out in. She was in front of the fireplace on a rug and someone had put a blanket on Star. It hit her mind that something was around her neck, it was the charm. Star looked around the room it looked like a ghost town.

"Hello?" she said nervously as she gathered her courage.

She stood up and began walking to the door. Then a quick pounding started it continued. Thump.Thump, Thump.Thump.Thump, Thump.and so on. At first she thought it was just her heart, but it was coming from behind the door. She reached for the knob with doubt and wonder. What was behind that door, she had to know! She managed to grasp the golden knob. A deep breath and a lot of courage here we go. she turned it slowly. Then once it clicked the whole world seemed dead silent, not even a mouse was about. The door swung open. A boy about Star's age stood there smiling. He wore red shorts with a sliver chain on the side. He also had a red jumpsuit with a black vest over it and a blue hood down in the back. His shoes were huge, and when I say huge I mean huge, yellow shoes. His hair was a light brown and spiked up. (Ok if you don't get I pity you.)

"Are you." Star began.

He showed a sign for her to e quiet and places her hand on her heart and his on his heart. Then he showed her one finger.

"I don't understand." Star said with fear.

He reached his hand on her cheek then in a blur disappeared. Then surroundings began to do then same. Then a bright light flashed and Star found herself standing in the doorway. She reached for her cheek, was he ever there? Was that real? She reached for neck to see if the charm was there.

It was."Sora?" Star said looking at the sky. "Was that you?"

(Listen, Listen with your heart

And you will hear a song in laughter of a child

Oh won't you listen for the sound of hope

For you will hear sound of hope.)
