I instantly grabbed her wrist. She tensed up, then winced. I opened my eyes, and realized who it was, then I let go, slightly embarrassed. "Are you OK?" I went to my feet, didn't answer, and looked behind me, and saw my gummi ship. I ran over to it, to check all the major parts, to see if it could be repaired. The frame was pretty stable, and the engine was alright. It certainly didn't looked trashed. But the problem was I was stuck here. Because I was out of gas. Seems stupid. But one of Monstro's teeth scraped part of the frame, exactly where the fuel tank was. So I'd either have to find a fuel gage in here(unlikely), build a new one(also unlikely), or fix the one I had. I might be able to do that. Maybe.If I was lucky.

Hiaden slowly came up behind me. "How's if lookin' chief?" I hadn't noticed her come up , so I wasn't aware that she was there. She scared me out of my wits. "Damn you!!! Don't do that again!!" She giggled. I glared at her. "So really how is it looking?" I took a look at her, and shook my head. "Everything is fine, except for the fuel tank, which is shot, and we're out of fuel, so we aren't going anywhere." She looked like someone slapped her. Then the funniest face of panic I ever saw came up onto her face. I burst out laughing. She looked at me, horrified. "Why are you laughing? We are stuck here without fuel, and we are going to have to stay stuck here until we get someone to help us get some!! Which is unlikely that anyone is here to give us any!!!!" I kept laughing. She came up to me and stared. Then slapped me. I grabbed her hand, and immediately stopped laughing. Then I pushed her hand around, to her back, and held her there, and brought the other one back with it.

She winced in pain, and then apologized. "Do not mess with me, because even if your strength has been increased by mutation, and morphed through forced age, and I could take you any day, and don't you ever forget that." She nodded. So I went to see if there was any food, and any shelter here, left from when Geppetto was stuck here that one time with Sora. When I tried to take that puppet..For Kairi.... Haiden's voice snapped me out of my trance. She waved her hand over my eyes. I pushed her out of my way, to look for shelter. There was a small little wooden hut like structure, above the water, and away from the throat, that had one bed, a small floor space, and an empty goldfish bowl. Great. Dream Sport Hotel.

She immediately slammed on the bed. It was pretty firm, and wasn't all that squishy. She got up rubbing her butt. "That hurt...," she moaned. I looked in the 3 small cupboards trying to keep from laughing, and look for some sort of rations. I didn't find jack shit. She leaned in beside me. "Dang, no food." I gave her a look that suggested,'DUH', and she backed off. I jumped off the edge of the hut thing, into the stinking water. Then I jumped up on to a platform. And up, and up. She, as soon as she realized that I was leaving her, started to get comfortable, and look or herself, until I went into the chambers, and her curiosity got the best of her.

I went in to the top chamber, near the stomach. The bottom chambers were pretty ...well, they weren't worth my time. So I started climbing the slimy platforms leading to the stomach. I heard lightning steps behind. Lightning as in fast, not as in loud. They were actually soft, quiet footsteps. I saw her using the Lightning Foot ability. It was a new one, and it would make tall jumps easier. It would be 2 short foot taps, and a jump, and you'd be on the next ledge. It was very useful, but I never used it. I jumped up, and disappeared into the stomach, and I thought that would throw her, but I was wrong. I saw it, same as ever. Boiling green stomach acid, and walls that had a few ledges. One center platform, but this time, there wasn't a swatting heartless, with poison gas there about to knock my head off, even though I could've taken it then, and definitely now.

Haiden came up behind me again, but since she didn't want to be yelled at, she coughed, to let me aware of her presence. She ran up to me. "This is ...nice...." She said, really kind of disgusted. "Yes it's disgusting. I have disgusting memories to go with a disgusting place like this. As does everyone stuck inside Monstro." She ran up in front of me." I can't make your past better, and I can't make you forget your memories, and its not as if I want to, but you should try to make your future better." I looked up at her. "You don't understand." She looked at me and shrugged. " I don't and I m frankly glad I don't." She started to walk away, but she slipped. Half her feet went into the acid. I pulled her out before it could envelop her in it. She stood in my arms. "Thanks," she breathed.

"No problem." She smiled at me. And kissed me.
