"You're gonna make us all stars?" Sora repeated, looking thoroughly confused.

"Yes! Well, actually… Rocky's right… you already are stars… But, you'll be brighter stars now, I guess…"

Sora stared at her. "But… it doesn't matter how bright I am, my heart is all that matters, and my heart is strong… so I know I'll overcome the darkness. And as long as I can keep my light shining, it doesn't matter how bright it is!"

Everyone stared at him.

Hiko was about to gag. "If you ever say any of that again, I swear I'll Ryo Sou Sen you to an inch of your life."

Sora sweatdropped.

Fireruby decided to continue explaining her idea to them before Sora took out his keyblade.

"Well, forget what I said about brightness… You guys ever seen one of those shows they do on TV where they have a host and guest people just sitting around and, um… talking? Well, I took a poll a few weeks ago to see who people would be most interested in hearing from and… the people I asked voted for you guys."

This statement was greeted by a stunned silence. Holly was the only one who seemed to understand. She looked at Fireruby quizzically.

"You mean, you want to put together one of those talk shows?"

Kurama finally seemed to catch on as well. "But… who'd be interested in just hearing us talk about stuff…?"

Fireruby smiled. "Yes, I'd like to put together one of those talk shows. And, well, while I guess none of you consider yourselves famous, you really are. I think you'd be surprised how many people want to hear what you have to say."

No one responded. They just continued staring at her.

"Alright… guess I should get started…"

She sat back down in the warm grass and propped the Keyboard of Doom™ back up in her lap. While she typed, nearly everyone stared in awe of the keyboard.

"What the heck is that?" Hiko asked. "That doesn't look like anything we have in Japan…"

"It must be some sort of machina…" Rikku stated. "Gee… wonder what it does…"

"What's a machina? That looks like some sort of gummi…" Sora muttered.

"It's a keyboard." Holly and Kurama both stated matter-of-factly.

They both turned to look at each other. Kurama offered his hand. Holly shook it.

"I'm Kurama."

"Captain Holly Short."

"It's very nice to meet you…… Um… please, don't take this offensively, but I've never met anyone under two feet tall who wasn't a child. And I can tell that you're not a kid."

Holly smiled warmly. "Thank-you. It's because I'm an elf. And a fairy. And a leprechaun… well, that's just a job…" She stopped herself when she saw how confused he was. She instead took out a small golden book and gave it to him. It was titled 'Artemis Fowl'. "Here, just read this when you have some spare time."

He nodded silently and went back to watching Fireruby. She had finally finished whatever she was typing. She looked up at them all and grinned. A split second later, the endless grasslands completely disappeared, only to be replaced by a brightly lit studio with many different cameras pointed at a set of furniture set up on the stage, behind all of this was a huge sign saying "NYATS Live!". The word 'live' was made up entirely of little red lights that flashed on and off at regular intervals.

Fireruby ran excitedly over to her stage and sat down in her little black Lay-Z-Boy. She glanced over at her studio audience and snorted. It was a little pathetic. There were only about two dozen people in the audience. 'Oh, well… she thought. Hopefully, that'll change soon enough.'

I doubt that.

"Shows what you know, Rocky…" She muttered. Fireruby then composed herself, sat up strait, smiled brightly and politely crossed her legs at the ankles. She turned her pearly blue gaze to the camera.

"Hello, and welcome to the first ever edition of Nyats Live. Since this is such a special day, I've decided to have two guests with us instead of one. Please give a warm welcome to Captain Holly Short of the LEP and Sora, the wielder of the keyblade!"

The 26 audience members present all clapped wildly.

Holly and Sora both took their cues and walked respectively onto the stage, Sora waving to the camera as he went. They both sat down on the couch next to Fireruby's Lay-Z-Boy.

Fireruby smiled brightly and turned to them.

(A/N- From now on, I'm changing my writing format… for this fic anyway… please don't get mad. ^^;;)





Fireruby: Hello! I'm glad you could make it.



Holly: o0;; Make it? But you forc-



Fireruby: -.- Forget it. ^^ Well, anyway, lets get on with the show. Our fist question today is from SuperSam3. He wants to know what you both think of street doctors. You know… people who haven't finished their education but are practicing their doctrine anyway… Um, Holly, what's your opinion?



Holly: Well, it's against your laws for doctors to practice without a license, right? I think that means they shouldn't. I'm not an expert on Mud Men laws, but isn't it a crime to disobey the law here too?



Fireruby: ^^; Well, um, yes. It is. Uh, Sora, what do you have to say?



Sora: ^.^ Well… If the doctor's hearts are telling them that they should treat people before they complete their schooling, then I think they should follow their hearts. Our minds are clouded and confused these days, but our hearts will always remain strong. We should always listen to them.



Everyone: o0*



Holly: -pulls out her buzz baton- Speaking of laws, you just violated one we have in Haven. Do not EVER use the word 'heart' that many times in one paragraph again. -she waves her baton around dangerously- Or else.



Scary.



Fireruby: oo; Heh… right… moving right along…



She shuffles a pile of papers that suddenly appeared in her lap. She pulls a yellow note out of the stack.



Fireruby: Ah… yes… someone named Draikitha wrote to use… she says, "Why is it that Holly's books and Sora's game are so violent?"



Holly: We are fighting for our lives. Of course it's violent. -mutters- You Mud Men are so dense…



Sora: In my world we're fighting for our lives too, but it's more then that. We are saving people's hearts. Because when people have to go without their hearts, it's like going without their souls. Their hearts kinda make them who they are. No one deserves to go through life as a heartless. That's why we fight.



Holly: Argh! What's with all this mushy talk?



She pulls her buzz baton back out and zaps him with it. He slumps over, unconscious.



Holly: ~.~ Well… I warned him… I suppose I'd better take him to Haven now. Bye everyone.



Holly then slung him over her shoulder and clipped on a set of wings. She opened the throttle and zoomed out the open window.



Fireruby: 00; Well… erm… okay. I suppose we can't continue the show without either of the guests present… um… stay turned tomorrow to see Kurama himself appear… well… er… till next time, then.



The screen fades to black.



(A/N- I'd like to apologize at this point. Sora's just a little OOC. He's kinda acting how I saw him when I played the game… totally mushy and always using the word heart 3 or more times in every scene… I guess I kinda vented my frustration at him here… Um, sorry to all you Sora fans out there… ^^ Please review.)
