The community was live in town, a lot of people gathered at a large stage with a stone building towers high. (behind the stage) there stood the ruler of the town, in front of a podium with soldiers behind him, being his body guards, Logan as well by his side. "Ladies and Gentlemen. I know many of us have seen the phenomenon that fell from the sky. I've order our town here, Logan with fellow soldiers to investigate. What they had found a ship, it was proof that we are not alone and that there are many worlds out there. Ladies!" He calls for his guest and waves out is arm to present them.
The two women from before start to walk out, everyone was amazed to see them as they shout in awe.
The older one, has her brown up U shaped hair. her clothing had a turtle neck short pink top, exposed belly, long baggy sleeves that splat open at the end with zippers. Her bottoms were white skin tight jeans with metal edged holes and a graphic of a heart on a butt cheek. At her feet she had red high heels that had pink string wrapping around her legs.
The younger woman that had a brown pony tail. Her clothing has a white top zipped down and open at her belly, with a yellow vest with steel pink buttons and metal studs, the back of it was a graphic of a bunny with a pink nose. Her bottoms was a yellow skirt and under is white pants. the leggings ends at her knees with frills. The shoes where white still circles at the toes and the middle was pink center and one had an graphic of eye lines and a smile.
The older woman waved excitedly while shouting out to everyone in a preppy tone "Hiya every one! ~ Really great to meet you all! My name's Peg!" The younger girl waves along with her "And here's my daughter Pistol! ~ Boys, she's single. ~ " saying with a wink
"So's she. ~" Pistol adds with a wink as well, while sticking her tongue out.
"Oh ho ho, please sweety!" Peg playfully pleaded to Pistol while waving for her to stop.
Above in a high tower, on a art designed as a feather, both sat Rem and Josh.
"Wow! Josh you were right! It was aliens!" She said while blinking with amazement.
He was shocked of the thing he lied about to tease Rem, was actually true. "How many other things I said were actually real?"
The ruler continues to speak. "We've also learned from them, that the black creature that plagues us so, are named Heartless! These ladies' kingdom also face these creatures, as well as the other worlds."
Pistol adds "Our king might be able to help you all out with the heartless as soon my mom and I get our ship ready we'll tell him about you guys. But We might be here for awhile since there aren't much supplies here to fix it." She shrugged while sticking her tongue while audience cheered, being happy to know a new hope.
Rem and Josh were amazed to hear as well. "Hmm You think it would help if I told them about me?" Rem wondered while asking Josh.
He himself thought to do to that as well, but he still denied the thought of it. " Nah, why would you need to anyway? It's not really your fault they're around." Smiling at her to have her not worry about it.
She looks at him for a moment, causing an uncomfortable aura for him. Still smiling but he gave an awkward one, Until she instantly gave a grin with her eyes closed, "Heee!" She laughed, showing she was teasing him. while falling back and her feet in the air, she replied "Yeah, but I still want to talk to em in person. Not everyday you get to meet people from a different world. Best part, if they haven't told those girls who I am, yet." She flips to her feet, standing. "Plus... They look like big puppy dogs! So cute!" She squealed while holding her cheeks. She sees Josh staring and she shrugs "You can't deny they do. I can't."
He chuckles how she didn't hide her girly side and was glad she was comfortable to be. "Wow, didn't expect you would be open."
She still wanted him to keep shut of seeing her like that so she pinches his cheeks"But don't you think this'll happen again!" She orders with a mad pout on her face.
"Ow ow o-ow ow! Okay okay, please let go!" He begged while laughing and rubbing his cheeks when she let go.
The two continues hearing the speech of what replacement parts would do good for their ship, instead of gummi parts. Both Josh and Rem tilt their heads to the side from wonder what they meant by Gummi parts.
After a while and Rem waking Josh from him snoozing from boredom. Rem shoving him "Hey they're done!" she ends up pulling his cheeks "Hey!"
"Ash! Ish awake!"(ah! I'm awake!) "Geeze, why do you have to do that with my face?!" He asks while rubbing his cheeks.
"Tee hee! Let's go lazy bones!" She says while putting her hood on as she grabs and pulls his arm.
He raises an eyebrow as he got up, The two make there way down, this time they went through stairs inside the building, easier for Josh. Rem seemed very excited to hurry down, especially sliding down the handrails. Her attention of him was caught when she looks back and it seems he has something on his mind.
"Heyy, still asleep?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry. Was thinking of a dream I had. What are you so upbeat about?"
She turns directly around to face him when she hears the topic about his dream, catching her attention. "Well they said they're going out and I wanted to talk to them. But hearing about a dream bothering you caught my interest." She stared close at him. Causing Josh to feel awkward and start to regret saying that.
"U-uh well I'll tell you about it later, you wanted to ask those girls about you I'm guessing." HIm saying made her pout, she still accepts saving to hear for later. Rem shouts that he has to tell her later when they return to the garden.
The two step out while she kept her head hidden.
Later after the speech, at a warehouse factory in a large decorative building. There was the broken ship being investigated of what was needed to be repaired. "Gah, there was more damage than I thought. Pistol sweety, How does it look on your end?" Peg asks while writing a list of parts that might need replacing.
"Well...I...Ahh! *sigh* not just found another thing to fix, but made one too. Hey Mr. Knight, you sure we could find any good replacement parts here?" Pistol asking Axe who was very interested on the topic of the Gummi ship and quickly jumped aboard to join in their repairs to learn about it.
"Yes ma'am, to be honest I am not 100% if they might have everything that you'd need. But I'm sure you'll find what you need." He replies with a salute. Which causes her and Peg to giggle.
"Oh you're so stiff! Hee hee. You can relax with us! Mom, are you done with the list?"
"Righty-o , C'mon mr. Guard lets go!" Peg announces while grabbing his arm "You have to show us around! We got to see how this world is. Us ladies need a vacation while looking for the things we need."
Axe tries to pull away at first from surprise until Pistol started to push behind to force encouragement for him to come along.
"A-alright I'll show you around! I just need to inform my captain first!"
"Oh ho ho don't worry about Him! ~ It'll feel awkward with a big name guy like that!" Says Peg while she and Pistol arm lock him and they go.
~
Peg and Pistol (wear cloaks to hide themselves from getting crowd attention and wasting time from their search for parts, they didn't want to annoy the have other soldiers .) get lead to the shopping center, mainly because they had to choose that or to a scrap yard first (which they would go the scrap yard, but were curious of how the town is.) The mother and daughter were amazed of the arts and the things that were on sale. Axe walks behind them as they gawked at the amazing odd products.
Pistol grabbed a metal jewelry that looks like a good replacement part, accidentally trips bumping in to a young man. "Ah! I'm sorry!" she waved her hands while apologizing to the lad.
"Oh it's alright- Eh, hey you're that girl from today!"
Pistol panicked and muffled his mouth, signaling Peg to rush with Axe out of there. Whispering "I'll meet you back at the warehouse!" Rushing, kidnapping the boy to around the corner and shushes at him "Shhh, don't let anyone else no we're here. We need supplies for our ship. We don't want to be in a big crowd right now to distract us, so please hush about us being around!"she pleaded the young man.
he chuckled "Ha ha okay okay. But I want to ask you a favor. Seeing you in a cloak like that, made me think of my friend wanting to ask you and that girl a question about those black creatures and her."
"The heartless? Sure, but what do you mean about her too?" Pistol asks while her head tilted to the side in wonder.
"Well just meet us here. She'll tell you everything." He says while writing her a note to an area near the garden. "My name is Josh by the way.." Josh says as he gives her a wave bye as he walked away.
"W-wait!" She pleaded him to stop, but he went too far ahead into the crowd. Pistol looks at the note in her hand 'Weird kid. Well, I better go see him.' Pistol says to herself in her mind and tucks her face under the hood as she goes through the town. Making back to the warehouse where Peg and Axe is, he left though to report and be in trouble.
Back at the warehouse, Axe was called in by his superiors along with the list
of things for him to get. Peg in the meanwhile was sitting with her legs and arms crossed while she tapped her finger, angry of her daughter rushing off and taking so long to return to the warehouse. Until she hears the gate door and her daughter calling.
"Mom? I'm back!" She announces her return. While she takes off her hooded coat and feeling a powerful force behind her. She nervously looks back to see her angry mother.
in a deep voice "Young lady, what took you so long?!" she looks down at pistol, typical angry parent and scared child look."Who was that boy?!"
"A-ah can't blame me, still don't know this place so I got lost a lot. And that kid, Um he wanted to ask me about the heartless and something about his friend. Look!" She says while bringing out the note that Josh had given to her and showing her mother. "He wants us to meet up with him."
"….So you agree to meet with this random kid?" She asks while raising her eyebrows with a straight face. "I think you're too into my romance stories."
"Mom please, you remember what the King said? About maidens connected to the kingdom-"
"Yes yes, I remembered what the king said. You think that this girl's related to all that?" Peg asks while taking a seat "Sounds too convenient, we crash here and suddenly there's a maiden of light?"
"I know, but something about him makes me believe him. " she clamps her hands together and begged her mother to come with her to visit Josh and his friend.
Peg shook her head with her arms still crossed. "Honey just forget about him." She stands "We just need to focus on fixing our ship, Axe said he'll get those thing from the stores tomorrow."
"But mom!"
Peg orders her daughter to again ignore Josh's invite, leaving his note on table, in her deep angry voice as she goes out. Aiming to relax and spend her time in the room they were given.
Pistol harumphs in irritation, pouting. Her eyes turns and seeing the note, she grabs it 'Fine." She rushes back to the direction she came from, out of there.
After she left and several minutes, Peg walking back calm, wanting to apologize to her daughter " *Sigh* Honey, I'm sorry. Maybe we can meet- PIstol?" As soon she enters the room, it turns out she was only speaking to herself. All was left was another note from pistol saying she is going on her own to meet with Josh. Peg crushes the note and in her deep angry voice "PIstol!"
_
Return to the town center a young lady in a yellow hoodie like jacket is walking through the crowd. (of course it's pistol) she asks one of the store owners of a food parlor if they know where the location, on the note that Josh gave her, is.
The restaurant employee says "Huh? Don't you know? Probably from those rich apartments. That place is the deep forest over there." He says while pointing to her the direction to the dark forest. "But probably best to stay away from that place. People say that is where the witch is."
"Witch?"
"wow you're really don't know anything. The Redheaded witch caused those dark creatures to be here! Other kids went in there and she chased them out! A kid that was always with her disappeared one day, we think because of her! "
Pistol gets surprised of what she heard, looks back at the path to the forest. After what she's been told, she has doubts of going in now. Until she runs towards it after she sees a figure of Josh going through. "Josh wait!" Pistol immediately stops as soon as she makes it to the entrance, panting heavily and is unsure to enter or not. She curls her lips and runs in, calling for him along the way. "AH!" She yells from tripping on a tree root and tumbles on the ground. Her head was hit while she fell, passing out.
After a while, everything was black, she hears a faint voice
"hey...hey...HEY!"
Pistol's eyes spring open woke in a panic and she sees a redheaded girl looking down at her with hands on their hips and looking mad. "Ah! Huh Wha, Who're you?!"
She crossed her arms "Josh, really?" The red haired girl yells to Josh who walks up with a wet towel.
"Rem you said you wanted to ask! You alright?" Josh asks Pistol while placing the towel on her forehead.
"Josh! Look out, I heard she's a witch!" She warns him while jumping up and is in a kung-fu fighting pose
Both Josh and Rem have their eyebrows "Um Pistol, this is my friend I was telling you about." Josh tells her to have her relax.
"Huh? She is?"
"Y-eah, I am. It's pretty rude to call someone you just met, that. You probably got that from the people blaming me bringing those, what you call 'em? Heartless? That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Why is it they always around near where I am?"
"Well me and my mom just know about the Heartless attacking light, we don't know fully of their other motives. Sorry."
Disappointment overcomes Rem "*sigh* fine, thanks anyway though. . . . you don't have to keep doing that you know." She referring to Pistol still in her kung-fu pose.
"Oh sorry, couldn't help it. I learned it from movies so yeah." She explains while rubbing the back of her head.
"It's alright, I think Rem would do the same." Josh says to pistol while putting his hand on her shoulder. "then again, so would I. Ow!" He shouts after Rem punches his arm.
PIstol looks at both arguing and Rem giving him a noogie while holding his head, seeing how good of a friendship they have. She makes a snicker then bursts out laughing, both of them froze while looking at her. She calms herself from laughing, out of breath "*pant* ooh boy, now I can tell you're good people."
After they conversed, Rem and Josh had Pistol convinced that Rem was no threat and that the both of them gained a new friend.
"I should tell my mom about you guys and everyone else!"Pistol says in excitement in her voice
"Just tell your mom." Rem tells "Everyone else already made their choice of how to me a long time ago and there's no changing them of how they think of me." She explains while looking at the ground I don't want to lose another friend..."
Pistol looks at Rem with worry and Josh gave Rem a hug. Pistol was going to ask Rem what happened to her other friend, but decide not to. "Right I only tell my mom. I have to get back anyway to fix the ship and I get the feeling she's gonna kill me for running out." She tells while getting up from the flowered ground. "Hope we can meet again soon!" Waving bye as she goes in the direction she arrived from.
"Don't get hurt again!" Josh warns as he and Rem waved her bye.
After Pistol had left, Rem gets up and offers her hand to Josh for help of him to get up. "I'm sure she'll be alright. Hey, you still have to tell me about that dream you had today."
~.In the dream, Josh is there standing in a empty wide place and in front of him is a black like figure which has this blue mouth fanged smile and is shaped like a man. Behind that man was Rem floating with her head down and her arms in the air, like she was being hung by something. Josh tried to shout out her name, but he couldn't speak from any voice. He rushes to her, but the shadow like figure kept being in the way, growing a shadow like weapon from it's arm and slashes down at Josh. He jumps away from the attack and rushes around the shadow figure and runs to Rem.
As soon he makes it to her, she flings her head up and in an instant stained like glass shards spring open behind her. She spreads her arms wide from their invisible restraints. More shards appear, all appearing like they were her wings. As well as having white figures appear on her head, like horns. Josh was in surprise of seeing her looking like that. he looks at his feet when he sees shadow like blackness starting to grow, his surprised face turned to fear when he looks back to see the shadow man hand grown actual wings himself. So there he was right in the middle stood Josh, in between two god like figures. The two look at him and charge, just as they were about to hit him, Josh Wakes to Rem pinching his cheeks.
~
During that time of the end of the speech and Josh's dream at a back empty a black like portal springs open.
