Ch.2

Roxas and Axel exited out of a dark corridor into Neverland. They had their plans to investigate and also take out the Heartless that were apparently roaming around. The first thing they did though was to go investigate the hole in the ground that the pirate had been digging up.

When they made their way down to the hole with a chest, Roxas saw that the little fairy from last time was fluttering over it. She turned around to look at him just as he got close enough. "Oh! Um… hello… again."

The fairy flew up in his face and began making a series of what he could guess had to be angered jingles. He could see her little face was frowning at him heavily and she took to a stance of balling her hands up and throwing them down at her sides.

"Wh-what? Are you mad at me?"

She nodded before giving a short jingle.

"Oh, because I didn't follow you to the ship before…"

She nodded again before Axel spoke up. "Hey, Roxas... Who have we got here?"

The fairy looked at Axel for a moment before flying behind Roxas, her face looking a little bit scared from what Roxas could tell. Slowly though she peaked out and stared at the man and her expression became more confused as she began to look at Roxas instead. She placed a hand on her chin and her expression shifted again to looking thoughtful, giving a short and quiet jingle, most likely talking to herself.

Roxas had no idea honestly what to think of it. This was the first time he had ever encountered a fairy… though for some reason he didn't find it too surprising.

Roxas went to finally answer Axel. "I'm not sure, but we met the last time I was here. I don't think she means any harm. She's the one who helped me fly."

Axel rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I already saw your demonstration."

Roxas pouted slightly. "It's true!" he then looked at the fairy. "Here, help me show him. Could you give us some more of that glowing stuff?"

The fairy thought for a moment before giving a positive sounding jingle. After that she gave them the stuff that made it possible to fly. It did surprise Axel, and he seemed still in disbelief, but then he finally gave it a shot and started to fly for himself.

After that it seemed the fairy wanted him to follow once more, making a series of long and fast jingles. Roxas did want to follow her and help her out this time, it seemed whatever she was saying was really important anyways. But Axel reminded him that the mission was the more important part and that they had to get that done instead. Roxas could only hope that the little fairy would be all right.

Tinkerbell was all right, but she was still fuming mad, but at the same time also a bit happy. But overall still mad and frustrated. "Ah! I don't get it. He comes back but then just leaves again! Where could he be going that's so important!?"

"I wouldn't know," Terence shrugged. "It's not like you can actually ask him and get a proper answer."

Tinkerbell sighed heavily. "I know! But I thought maybe today I could get him to listen. Today I could get him to meet you, but he had that friend with him and they seemed to be thinking about doing other things. They don't even wait for me to come back, just gone by the time I get back! And the nerve of that redhead to think I was friends with Captain Hook! Like why would I ever be friends with him?"

"Cause they don't seem to know anything about you so they wouldn't have any idea?" Terence suggested.

"Well… I would think that-" Tinkerbell caught herself before she could say more. She tried to breath a few times to calm her mind. "Either way… I did find out something else. Something else that makes this more confusing."

"And what would that be?" Terence asked.

"His name. It's not Ventus. The redhead guy, who I think was called Axel… he called the boy Roxas."

"So there is a boy out there who has the same exact looks as Ventus. Same voice like mine… but he has a different name?" Terence asked, trying to make sense of the thing that was slowly becoming more complicated.

"Maybe he has a brother. You know like me and Peri, except Ventus and Roxas are identical, like Lrya and Ariette. Or maybe like the Twins from Peter's Lost Boys group. Or maybe just a younger brother that looks just like him. It's possible right? But that still doesn't make sense why he wouldn't know who I am. If they are brothers you would think that Ventus would tell him about me right? Unless… Unless it's more like me and Peri where we didn't know the other existed at first. But then again…"

Terence sat down while Tinkerbell rambling on with her theories. He wasn't too sure what else he could interject, as he still wasn't entirely too sure about the subject itself. He hadn't thought about it in years… the fact that a human had the same, or at least that was what Tinkerbell kept going on about.

Originally he was highly skeptical, passing it off as just a fluke since Tinkerbell never saw Ventus again. But now that it had resurfaced… he was beginning to think about it once more. If Tinkerbell was really encountering the same boy with a voice that matched his… how far fetched could it really be? It didn't help the fact that this said boy… or now boys… kept leaving before Tinkerbell could actually do anything about it. Though he wondered… if Roxas had come back already in a much shorter time, would that mean that it could happen again? The answer was left up in the air as Tinkerbell didn't see the boy Roxas for quite some time after that.

But he did end up coming back many weeks later. But just like the times before, he ended up leaving before Tinkerbell could tell him to wait. This time though she wasn't too mad at him as he did save her from Captain Hook and fought off those nasty creatures known as the Heartless. Plus he had at least learned her name by that point from overhearing Captain Hook and Smee talking. It made things at least a little more formal between the two of them in Tinkerbell's mind.

Then the very next day after that he came back once again, and today Tinkerbell was determined to make sure he stayed… after dealing with Captain Hook of course. Despite being angry at him for always leaving, she found out he was a skilled fighter and could take on Captain Hook or any of those Heartless creatures.

Today Tinkerbell encountered him out by Skull Rock, and the first thing she did was give him a little more pixie dust, he seemed to use it up fairly quickly. Captain Hook and Smee were still at it and she was growing more worried that something bad was going to happen.

Roxas went to investigate and sure enough a massive Heartless showed up. Tinkerbell flew out of the area, but made sure to keep an eye on Roxas. She had the thought to go and grab Terence while the fight was going on. If she did maybe Roxas would still be there afterwards and Terence could finally see what she was talking about and that she was right! But on the other hand… if there still was that massive Heartless flying around, the last thing Tinkerbell wanted to do was put Terence in any danger.

"All I can hope is that I can talk to Roxas before he leaves. I just need to keep an eye on him."

Once Roxas had defeated the Heartless, which resulted in it crashing down into Captain Hook's ship, Tinkerbell let out a loud laugh. "Oh boy! If only Peter were here to see this! He'll be so jealous he missed out on this!"

Tinkerbell looked down to see that Roxas was now alone again and seemed to be walking somewhere. Quickly she flew down and stopped right in his face. "Wait! You can't leave yet!" she shouted to him as she held up her hands.

"Huh? What is it? I thought I got rid of all the Heartless…"

"No. You got rid of it, but there is something else. It's kind of a thing I have been waiting to show a friend of mine for a while," Tinkerbell shook her head as she spoke. She needed to be as careful as she could with her gestures otherwise she knew that Roxas wouldn't be able to understand him. The sound of jingling bells could only go so far after all.

"It's not that? If it isn't more Heartless… then what is it?" Roxas asked.

Tinkerbell tapped her chin as she tried to think. How could she explain this to him so he would understand. What way could she do it that he would know that she wanted to go and get Terence. She glanced around and saw that they were still near Skull Rock. She hummed before having an idea.

"Okay, let's just go somewhere else. Over in the forest at least. Follow me," Tinkerbell said as she motioned Roxas to follow her.

"You want me to follow you? Okay, if you say so, but I still understand why."

"Well if you could understand me then you would know why," Tinkerbell muttered before rolling her eyes.

The two of them flew over to the forested area. When they got there Tinkerbell flew in front of Roxas again. She held up her hands before speaking. "Okay, I want you to wait here. I won't be long."

Roxas hummed, no doubt trying to figure out what Tinkerbell had just told him. "Uh… I'm sorry, I don't get what you're trying to say."

Tinkerbell sighed, dropping her arms. She thought for a moment before thinking of a new way to try and tell Roxas. "Okay… how about this? You stay here," Tinkerbell pointed to him and then to the ground. "I go, and then I will come back." She pointed to herself and then off to the distance before pointing back to the ground in front of them.

"Oh, I think I get it? You want me to… wait here, right? You got something you want to show me I guess?"

"Yes! That's it!" Tinkerbell smiled and nodded quickly.

"I guess I was right. Well, okay, I'll wait. I completed my mission faster than I thought, so I got some time. Plus I do owe you that much, you taught me how to fly after all."

"Yes! Perfect! Okay I'll be right back!" Tinkerbell said as she flew off as fast as she could.

I really hope I got Terence's personality right in this. I re-watched the movies as best as I could when I wrote this so hopefully it is pretty good. I feel the energetic Tiknerbell is much easier though.
