Chapter Six: The Meeting of Old Friends

"Well Riku, do you think we should go out today and get some fresh air in the world of all the saps and goodie two-shoes?" Lexy asked.

"Sure. we could use some practice on people other than each other, we don't really do ourselfs any good, becuase we both hold back when we fight each other." Riku answered.

Lexy sighed. "Yeah. It's too hard for me to fight you, I'd never want to hurt my big brother."

"You know Lexy, it's funny that you call my big brother, becuase... Well, even though you're younger than me, you always seem to be in control, mabey I should call you big sister." Riku said.

"No, you're older than me, therefore, I call you big brother, even if I am in control."

"Fine." Riku said. "Well, where shall we go today?"

"Hmm... How 'bout Halloween town. We can beat on that Jack Skellington, he's pretty tough!" Lexy said, joyfully.

"Hmm... Good choice. Let's go there today." Riku grabbed his keyblade, and handed Lexy her's.

"Alright! To Halloween town!" Lexy said, holding her keyblade in the air.

"What was that for?" Riku asked.

"Dramatic effect." They both began to laugh as they walked twoards the Halloween Town portal.

Meantime, on the other side: "We're almost to the keyhole, Jess!" Sora said, running through the town.

"Alright, there it is!" Jessie said, seeing the keyhole appear as she killed the last heartless.

Sora was just about to lock it, when the portal began to glow. Two figures stepped out.

"Well, look at this." Riku said, pointing to Sora and Jessie.

Lexy looked up, not seeing Jessie at first, as she was slightly hidden behind Sora. "Sora, old friend. Aw, what sweet sweet memo-" She froze in mid-sentence as Jessie stepped out from behind him.

"Lexy." Jessie nodded to her.

Lexy voice and harsh expression softened. "Jessie..." Lexy shook herself and regained composier. "Jessie. It's been a long time. Ah, a meeting of old friends."

Lexy looked in a way, sad.

"Lexy." Riku elbowed her. "You alright?"

"I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" She looked to Jessie. "Well. Shall we see which shall overcome, darkness or light?!" She said as she pulled out her keyblade and chared twoard Jessie.

Riku pulled out his as well, heading for Sora.

A fierce duel raged on between the two pairs, who had once been such good friends.

"You've been training, Jessie!" Lexy said.

"Of course I have, so the day when I saw you again, I could destroy you!"

In a strange way, that hurt Lexy. She let her guard down for a second, long enough for Jessie to strike a harsh blow to her, causing her to crash to the ground.

"Lexy?" Riku said, kicking Sora away so he could run to her. "Lexy?!" Riku looked to Jessie and Sora. "This isn't over!" He scooped up Lexy and her keyblade, and dissapeared through the keyhole.

"What happened?" Sora asked Jessie.

"I don't know... She just... Weakened for a second..." Jessie said, looking sad.

"You gonna be alright?" Sora asked.

"I'll be fine, just lock the keyhole."

"Sure." Sora sealed the keyhole.
