Jessica found herself in front of another castle. When she entered, it didn't look like anyone was there. She wandered around until she heard voices and followed the sound until she was in front of a doorway that led to a bedroom that contained three fairies, each donning a different color of red, green, and blue, and Ventus hovering over a beautiful sleeping girl with long blond hair in a blue dress who was sleeping on the bed. She thought about her options and narrowed her next move down to four choices. She could take Ventus home, she could stay by Ventus's side and run away with him, she could pretend she didn't see Ventus and look somewhere else, or she could follow Ventus. Jessica decided to try the fourth option. The fairies came out of the room with Ventus trailing behind them, so Jessica hid behind a tapestry. When they had their backs turned, she started to follow them. Whenever they turned around, she managed to find someplace to hide. They continued outside and stopped only when they came to a wall of fire. Jessica could sense that it was made by dark magic. "Looks like we're stuck," Ventus sighed.
"This looks like Maleficent's doing," The fairy in red gasped.
"Please, let me," Jessica offered from behind them.
Ventus and the fairies turned around. "Jess? What are you doing here?" Ventus asked in surprise.
"Same as you. I ra-" Jessica started, but then she realized that saying that she ran away in front of the fairies was probably not such a good idea. "left."
"Is this a friend of yours?" The fairy in green questioned.
"Yeah. This is Jessica." Ventus replied.
"Well, Jessica, I'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Maleficent is an evil fairy, and she put this wall of fire here with dark magic." The fairy in blue explained.
Jessica walked up to the flames. "Moon Prism Power Make-Up!" Jessica shouted as she transformed into Sailor Moon.
"Jess?!" Ven exclaimed.
"Moon Twilight Flash!" Jessica performed the attack on the wall of fire. "Is my power not enough?"
"Jess, try that again. Don't give up. I'll help you this time," Ventus encouraged, summoning his keyblade.
Jessica nodded. "Moon Twilight Flash!" She tried again.
"Blizzard!" Ventus called out. Jessica and Ventus performed their attacks simultaneously, and the wall of fire vanished, and Jessica returned to her normal form.
"If you don't mind my asking, what just happened?" Ventus wondered. As they made their way to their destination, Jessica explained what she knew about Sailor Moon. She left out the parts about Mamoru, Chibi-Usa, her previous life, and certain other things and told him instead that she was The Guardian of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon, and that her job was to find her allies and fight evil.
"That's all that I can tell you for now," Jessica decided. They found a much darker castle than the first one and went inside. There were a bird and a pig dressed in grey clothes.
"Careful, they're Maleficent's," The red fairy warned.
"Well, they ain't guarding nothing," Ventus stated.
Jessica rolled her eyes. "They aren't guarding anything," She corrected.
One of the guards yawned. "Ten-shun! No sleeping on the job," Ventus smirked. Jessica and Ventus fought them and continued fighting Maleficent's minions as they went. Eventually, they saw green flames holding up a sphere of light.
"What is that?" Jessica asked.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you, we have to release that heart," Ventus mentioned.
"That's a heart?" Jessica gasped.
"Yeah," Ventus confirmed. Ventus spun his keyblade around before pointing it at the heart. His keyblade shot a beam of light at the heart. The fire vanished, and the heart flew away. "That should do it." Suddenly there was a bright light.
Jessica and Ventus saw a vision of the girl that had been sleeping. She was with a man who had short brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a black shirt and boots and a grey tunic and pants. "Don't you remember? We've met before," The man reminded.
"We- we have?" The girl frowned.
"Why, of course. You said so yourself. Once upon a dream," The man smiled. The girl smiled, held his hand, and walked with him.
"I never thought I would meet you. Outside of my dreams, that is," The girl sighed.
"Who are you? What's your name?" The man inquired.
"Hmm? Oh, my name... Why It's... Oh, oh no, I can't... Good-bye," The girl fretted as she started to walk away.
"I must see you!" The man called after her.
"I don't know, maybe someday," The girl replied.
"When? Tomorrow?" The man wondered.
"Oh, no. This evening! At the cottage, in the glen," The girl answered. There was another bright light, and the vision stopped.
"What was that?" Ventus mumbled.
"You saw it too?" Jessica questioned.
"Aurora's memory. She must have gotten her heart back," The red fairy explained.
"So her dream came true!" Ventus beamed.
"Yes, not long ago. Dreams are very strong beliefs. Aurora's led her to her true love," The red fairy stated.
"I see the both of you have strong beliefs, too," The green fairy commented.
"You also both have a strong light," the red fairy added.
"Alright, hurry! We can't stay here!" The blue fairy exclaimed. They all tried to make their way out of the castle, but before they reached the castle exit, they ran into the room that Maleficent was in.
"Someone has released Aurora's heart. Tell me, was it you?" Maleficent inquired.
"Maleficent," The red fairy hissed.
"Only cause you stole it in the first place!" Ventus charged at Maleficent with his keyblade in hand. He jumped and attacked Maleficent, but she vanished.
"A keyblade? You must be Ventus. If you're Ventus, then that girl must be Jessica," Maleficent deduced.
"Huh? How do you know about me, Jessica, and the keyblade?!" Ventus demanded.
"My powers ensure me I'd know the key to bringing me hearts. Terra gave me a demonstration," She smirked. Jessica hoped that Terra's demonstration meant he gave Maleficent a good thrashing.
"Terra? He was here?!" Ventus asked.
"Why yes. In fact, it was he who stole Princess Aurora's heart," Maleficent said.
"That's a lie!" Ventus shouted.
"Yeah!" Jessica ran to Ventus' side. "Terra would never be that careless!" She agreed.
"I was asked to leave you unharmed, but it seems I have no choice!" Maleficent declared. The three fairies shrunk themselves, and Ventus and Jessica started to fight with Maleficent.
"Moon Prism Power Make-Up!" Jessica transformed into Sailor Moon.
"What is this?" Maleficent demanded.
"I am The Guardian of Love and Justice, Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" Jessica stated. "Moon Tiara Boomerang!" Her moon keyblade appeared in her hand, and she threw it at Maleficent. When it was done, it came back to her. Ventus performed a quick combo before Maleficent let out a blast of darkness that pulled them back.
Maleficent huffed. "There's no way Terra would hurt somebody like that," Ventus insisted.
"You don't believe me? That unfortunate, for he agreed so easily," Maleficent sneered.
"He did?" Ventus muttered.
"Ven, don't be fooled!" They heard a familiar voice say. They turned their heads and saw Aqua running towards them.
"Aqua," Jessica and Ventus greeted simultaneously.
"Terra would never do that. You know that as well as I do," Aqua reminded.
"Yeah," Ventus replied.
Aqua turned to Jessica. "Sailor Moon, what are you doing here? How did you get here? Who are you?"
"She doesn't know?" Ventus inquired. Jessica shook her head.
"Know what?" Aqua questioned.
"The truth can be most cruel, even amongst the closest of friends. After all, one never knows the secrets of another's heart. I'm sure you'll agree, Ventus, Jessica, Aqua," Maleficent interrupted. Jessica decided to turn back into her usual self.
"Jess?! What are you doing here? Master Eraqus wanted you to stay behind! Go home now!" Aqua ordered.
"No. I have things I need to do before I go home. I won't go back! At least not until I find them," Jessica refused.
"Who? Your family? They would only send you back to train more at home," Aqua huffed.
"Not my family! My friends!" Jessica yelled.
"What?" Aqua asked. Jessica tried to navigate her way out of the castle by herself. She ran until she was outside of the castle.
"Aqua, I'm sorry. I can't go back, at least not yet. I need to find Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and maybe I'll even find Chibi-Moon," Jessica sighed.
"Jess, wait! I want to come with you!" Jessica turned around.
"Ven?!" She exclaimed in surprise.
"Please let me go with you. I don't want to travel alone," Ventus begged. Jessica nodded. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it. I didn't want to be alone either," Jessica mentioned.
Thanks for reading. I'm sorry to any Snow White fans out there, but Jessica will not go to Snow White's world. It just doesn't fit in with what I have. Sure, I would've made this chapter with Terra in Snow White's world, but I wanted to just get on with the plot. I would've skipped this world if I could have, but I needed Jessica to be with Ventus. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review.
