Legacy's A/N: Surprise! I bet you didn't see this coming! Well, you all have Antex to thank for this because today is his birthday! We've been able to get a little bit ahead in writing these chapters (though that may change when school starts) so we decided to put out this short little chapter ahead of schedule as a thank you to Antex for being such an awesome reader. You really do motivate us to keep writing and put out the best work we possibly can. But between you guys, and me, Wolfie was the one to suggest putting out this chapter for Antex's birthday so you guys should also give them a huge thanks!

Wolfie: I think Legacy covered the reasoning behind this update pretty well! Happy birthday, Antex! Of course, I'll have to warn you guys that the next update won't be until sometime in September (not sure when, so please be patient with us :)), but this should hold you over in the meantime!

Thanks to ShadowWolf223 (Thank you!) and Antex-the Legendary Zoroark (As always, thank you so much!) for reviewing, all 9 followers, 7 favorites and 823 readers!

Not much else to say, enjoy!

Chapter 8: Lia Report #98

Dear Gia,

It's been sometime since we last split up. I hope you're behaving for Master Riku. Remember: he is not Master Lea, do not disrespect him.

Let's see...I've been on the Legacy this whole time. We have yet to reach Treasure Planet, even after sailing for several weeks. I think you'd be pretty bored if you were here, the Legacy is as fast as Uncle Cid's airships, fast, but not faster than a Gummi ship. Though, you might actually prefer it, considering how well you reacted to the warp gummi.

Anyways, it's been a busy few weeks. I'm not fully sure where to begin…

Well, I guess I should start with me then. I've been working mostly with the first mate of the Legacy, Mr. Arrow. He looks scary, as in you would want to fight him on sight, but he's actually quite nice. But if the crew starts causing trouble, he stops it right away. He's like Master Aqua actually...it's comforting to work with him, to put it another way. We talk often of home and the worlds he knows of, it's been enjoyable for the most part.

Then there's Tifa, she was assigned as a bodyguard to Dr. Doppler, who paid for the whole expedition we joined. Dr. Doppler seems extremely flighty from what she tells me, often getting lost in his own ideas even as he's speaking about them to somebody else. She's had to save him from falling down the stairs from the upper deck to the lower deck quite a few times now. I don't know how he has yet to break his neck, even if he does have such a ridiculous suit to protect him. You'd laugh if you saw it, Gia. It's utterly ridiculous. Not even Uncle Cid would wear something like that. He'd make fun of it for how inefficient it is, actually. But it seems she enjoys talking to him. She tells him stories about Denzel and Marlene often. They're her children.

As for Ryo, he's adapting pretty well. He spends most of his day working with Jim, the only other human boy on this ship, while answering to Mr. Silver, a cyborg cook if you can believe it or not. I'm sure you've had your experiences with machines. It seems that they have all grown close. If Ryo isn't with us or Jim, he's usually with Morph, a little glob(?) I suppose that follows Mr. Silver around. It's quite adorable, actually. I think this is actually pretty good for Ryo. It seems like he fits well with Jim. I'm really glad, I know he still feels a bit like an outsider with all of us, so it's nice to see him getting along with someone his own age.

Now, Marta...she's in the crow's nest most of the time, playing look-out. I say playing because if she isn't dozing off, she's surprising anyone and everyone by dropping down on them from above. Mr. Silver and Morph love her, but the other crew members, like the cockroach, Mr. Scroop, don't seem to enjoy her at all. I keep an eye on her, of course, keep her out of any trouble. Mr. Arrow helps too, doesn't let anyone hurt her. Surprisingly, he said that having a bit of harmless fun onboard never hurt anyone. I say surprisingly because of how stern he seems when you first meet him.

So far, it's been a relaxing mission. But I have no idea how long something like this could last.

I have a bad feeling about what's ahead.

Especially considering the "episode" I just had. Gia, I hope you're okay. Please be okay. To be honest, that's what prompted me to write this. Of course, you won't be able to read this until we reunite. I just hope that won't be too long from now.

Anyways, I hope you've had luck with finding Sari and Rickson by now, it's so hard to get a signal on the Gummiphone out here...we haven't seen anything of the attackers Jack mentioned, nor Cloud. I can tell Tifa's worried, we all are. But we'll do our best. I hope we'll meet up soon.

Please, stay safe.

Love,

Lia.

Wolfie: Different, isn't it? Basically, this is DD's form of Secret Reports, letters the twins send each other! The numbers for the reports are based on how many letters each individual twin has sent to the other (so Lia has sent 98 now, while Gia has a completely different number). They'll pop up every once in a while to cover time skips, give some foreshadowing and other stuff. So keep an eye out for them!

Leave a review to let us know what you thought and everyone stay safe! The next chapter is gonna be amazing, trust me! Look forward to it!

May your heart be your guiding key!
