After defeating Hex, the Dream Keepers all went their own ways. Well, about a week later we all met up again, but that was because there was a very special event all of us needed to see.
"Do you, Adam Jackson, take Melanie Ravenswood to be your lawfully wedded wife?" said the judge.
"I do," Adam replied.
The Dream Keepers all watched from the audience, smiling as two of their friends finally tied the knot. Gabriel was the best man, and Rachel was the best lady.
"And do you, Melanie Ravenswood, take Adam Jackson to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the judge asked.
"I do," Melanie replied.
The judge smiled. "Then I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
The two kissed and the crowd cheered. "It's a good thing that Melanie's a human now," Soren said. "Or else Adam wouldn't be able to kiss her."
"Well, she turned back into a ghost after Hex lost his magic," Poe replied. "I just used some necromancy to let her change between human and ghost. Having a dark sorcerer on your side really helps, doesn't it?"
Adam and Melanie walked down the isle together, getting congratulations from everyone. Silver was in tears, happy that such a wonderful wedding had happened without any big villain attacks to interrupt it. He put a lot of effort into the decorations.
"Congratulations you two," Figment said, appearing in a puff of confetti. He held out a present to Adam. "I wanted to give you guys this on your big day."
Adam opened the gift, revealing a simple button that looked almost like a car key. Pressing it, a portal opened up, and a man in a fancy overcoat on a flying machine came out of it. "No way…" Adam breathed.
"Yeah, I found this underneath a pile of boxes," Figment explained. "It turns out you can find a lot of missing stuff if you clean your room!"
Dreamfinder stepped out of his vehicle, giving a bright smile and shaking Adam's hand. "I've watched you grow as an adventurer from afar, young man. I believe this is yours?" He handed a card to Adam.
"An official SEA membership card," Adam said in awe. "Thank you sir! I'll treasure it forever!" He then picked up Melanie bridal-style and smiled. "Well then, my dear Melanie, off to our next journey. Adventure is out there!"
Last I heard, Adam and Melanie were making their own SEA group of new and young adventurers, in between their own escapades, of course. Figment even decided to follow then as their plucky sidekick! But he wasn't the only one getting to live out his greatest dreams.
In a flash of magic, Logan appeared in Yen Sid's Mysterious Tower, dropping the Star Shard on the table. "Wow, is world hopping a rush!" Logan exclaimed. "And that big Heartless boss was no joke, either!"
"You have done well, Logan," Yen Sid said.
"I'll say," Riku nodded. "As my first student, you did good and proved that you could overcome your inner darkness and walk the path of light." He summoned his Keyblade and held out the handle to Logan. "I believe that you're ready."
Logan was hesitant at first, but accepted the weapon. In flash the Keyblade changed form, becoming the upgrade Fenrir Keyblade. "Woah, not only is it a Keyblade, but a Buster Sword as well," Logan said, hefting the large sword over his shoulder.
Riku summoned back his own Keyblade. "It suits your heavier fighting style. You go more for power than speed. I'd suggest training with Lea on how to compensate moving slower with powerful attacks and magic."
"Sounds like a plan," Logan said with a grin. "Wait till the other see this!"
Logan and Destiny are currently looking to find a third member for their trio. I wish them the best of luck. They'll find new experiences for sure, just like a certain other couple I know.
"Woah, we're really high up," Silver said, peering over the rooftops. "Hey, I think I can see Avengers Tower from up here!"
"Yeah, the city that never sleeps is a sight to see at night," Staghart nodded. He pulled out a necklace and gave it to Sliver. "I got you a gift."
"Oh thanks," Silver replied, putting it on. "So, what were you wanting to do up here? Perhaps a romantic flight over the city?"
"Something like that," Staghart said. "That necklace was a gift from Merlin, back when we were in Camelot. Since you're all about royalty, he suggested you take a page out of Arthur's book when it comes to training."
"Oh, I think I get it," Silver said. He focused on the necklace, which then glowed and covered his body. Soon enough, Silver had transformed into a gargoyle himself! "Huh, I wonder where my shirt went," he thought aloud, making Staghart chuckle. "Hey, it's not that funny…"
"I know, but your gargoyle form is very fitting," the deer gargoyle said. "You're now quite literally silver, Silver."
"Huh, I guess I am," Silver noted, laughing a bit himself. "So, now are we going to have a romantic flight?"
"Indeed," Staghart nodded. "But we should probably make sure that you can-" He didn't get to continue that thought as a strong gust of wind blew by, which made the newly-transformed Silver fall off-balance, sending him into a tumbling flight. "…That you know how to fly. Spread your wings out, Silver! I'll be up there to catch you!"
"Why can't our dates ever go as planned!?" Silver shouted.
Yeah, Silver my not have the best luck, but Staghart is there to catch him when he falls. Everyone needs somebody to have there back, and I'm glad that my friends all have someone there for them. I can't solve everyone's problems, you know!
Rachel let out a breath she had been holding, sheathing her sword and taking a rest by a tree. "There, that was the last of the corrupted Cast Bots," Rachel said.
Poe nodded, joining her by the tree. "Yes, such a shame that these had to go to waste. Although, I guess if we didn't take them all out, some other villain would try to control them. I can imagine my sister doing something like that."
Rachel turned to her partner. "Do you ever miss her? Magica is family, after all."
"I do want to see her again," Poe nodded. "I'm just… hesitant, to say the least. Either she'll be overjoyed, or she'll just think I'm an illusion and descend further into her madness."
"Then why don't we see her together?" Rachel suggested. "We can even invite Lena and her friends as backup, just in case she does go coo-coo."
"I think… I think I would like that," Poe smiled. He took Rachel's hand. "Now then, since those robots are out of the way, how about we do some more training?"
Rachel smirked and drew her sword once more. "Alright, but don't hold anything back. I still need to test all the powers of this new weapon."
Poe flicked his amulet, transforming it into a wand. "Then as the French say, engarde!"
Rachel's becoming quite the hero, and Poe is only pushing her to be stronger. She's always been a free spirit, so I have no doubt that she'll be fine. There is one friend that's had a more unexpected change, though…
"Okay Aline, you can do this," Aline said to herself. She took a deep breath before going around the corner, jumping up onto a table. "Soren, I need to talk to you!"
"Oh, I'm not Soren," Soren replied. He had changed slightly, now being a teenage Jaquin.
"But you look just like him?" Aline tilted her head in confusion.
"Well, I don't know if you know this, but I was originally a boy named Terra, who them accidentally got a split personality, Soren, after turning into a Jaquin," Soren explained. "Dr. Banner helped sort that out, and then I just wanted to be Soren. But after the whole Hex thing and my friends moving on, I kind of felt… static. Like I wasn't going anywhere and I was missing out."
"So are you going to be Terra again?" Aline asked.
Soren shook his head. "Soren was my inner child, reckless but fun. Terra was my more mature side, cautious but well-meaning. I wanted to balance them, so I basically got my own 'Smart Hulk' form that you see now. Call me Toren."
"Oh, okay," Aline nodded. "Nice to meet you, Toren. So…" She looked away. "Well, I'm not the best I making friends, but I thought that was fellow cats we could maybe hang out and learn together?"
"Sure!" Toren smiled. "Does this mean that you don't want to return to being a human?"
"Are you kidding? Cats are the only creatures that know where it's at," Aline said, smirking and holding up her nose. "Plus, if I'm a cat, then maybe I can hang out with Princess Aurora more. She is my favorite and is a friend to all animals."
"Why don't we go meet her now?" Toren suggested. "But Elena and Marian are off on a royal picnic. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a few surprises."
"There's the Soren trickery," Aline smiled. "Well then, let's be off!"
I'll be honest, I didn't see Toren and Aline becoming fast friends, but I think their personalities will let them grow as people- er, as cats together. As for me and the Dream Keepers? Well, we kinda got roped into a concert tour all across the Magical World, but after that Mickey actually made me my own room!
"Ah, this is the life," Brooklyn said, sinking into the couch. "No villains to fight, and I get to hang out with my friends in this sweet new place."
"Guys, there's a magic bowl of water in here!" Sisu called from the bathroom.
"That's a toilet, Sisu. People sit on it- with their butts!" Jasiri called.
The dragon quickly exited the bathroom. "Geez, humans have weird things in their houses."
Kairi giggled. "Maybe, but it's only weird until you get used to it. I never imagined that I'd have so many friends outside of Destiny Islands, but now I'm here with all of you guys."
"This sentimental stuff is great and all, but where's Gabriel?" Lena asked, taking a seat on the couch next to Brooklyn.
"I'm… right… here!" Gabriel said, carrying a comically-large stack of food in from the kitchen. Setting it down on the table made the whole room shake from the weight. "Wow, that extra dragon strength really comes in handy."
"Why do we need all of this food?" Sisu asked. "Not that I'm complaining, it looks delicious."
"We've got one last thing to plan out for our big saving the world tour," Gabriel explained, turning on the TV. He used Fantasia to give everyone a drawing pad, then tuned in on the TV to a video call. "There's going to be a nighttime parade with us as the main focus, so I want to hear all of your ideas. We can get anyone to join in, so of couse all of our friends will be there."
"I want some awesome fireworks!" Sisu exclaimed.
"And we need the floats actually float," Lena added.
"The music has to fit with the lightshow," Kairi stated.
"And the dancers have to be on point," Brooklyn nodded.
Jasiri just smiled and gave Gabriel a kiss. "As long as we're all together, it's going to be truly magical."
"Okay, now that was a bit too sappy," Gabriel chuckled, kissing her back. "But hey, whenever you get me to laugh, I'm happy too. Now then, let's call up the other Dream Keepers and have them weigh in on this!"
Author's Note
So here are all the individual character wrap-ups!
Adam and Melanie had to have their wedding, and Dreamfinder showed up for it to top it all off. Welcome to SEA, Adam! May you fair better than some of the less fortunate members of that group.
Logan gets his Keyblade, obviously. I imagine that his Fenrir Keyblade is the upgraded version from Union Cross.
Silver and Staghart get a date, but Silver being Silver means that it's not going to be normal at all. I think Silver might just be cursed to always have weird dates, but luckily Staghart is there to help our buddy out of a jam. They truly do complement each other there, like all romantic couples should.
Rachel and Poe talk about things, and continue their training. Pretty straightforward.
Soren becoming Toren was a suggestion by his creator, and I used it as a springboard to wrap up Aline's story as well. I don't think the Magical World is ready for some (harmless) pranks by these two cats!
Finally, Gabriel and his allies discuss what's going to happen next chapter. Remember those songs I asked for? Well, they're going to be used in my very own personal Disney Parade! Tune in next week for that exciting event to send off the Magical World on the highest note possible.
On a side note, if any of the original creators of these characters want to make a story in the Magical World setting, feel free to do so! I want others to have fun the wonderful world of Disney as much as I have!
