"It didn't work, Evil Queen! That Keyblade Brat got her to wake up!" Maleficent yelled as she shot some of her dark magic at a wall in frustration and making Pete hide again.
Mickey chuckled softly at that. Pete, you are such a scaredy cat. He thought.
"I had a feeling that he would." Evil Queen said.
"How did he wake her up?" Pete asked.
Mickey knew that answer, and he mouthed it as the Evil Queen responded with: "True love's kiss."
"What?! That pip-squeak kissed that Princess of the Moon?!"
"He did, you imbecile!" Maleficent said as she walked towards the Evil Queen's mirror, only to see Sora and Luna hugging. "And now they feel like they got a happily ever after..." Maleficent then smiled evilly as she pointed her staff at the mirror, showing what they had to do.
Mickey saw it, and gasped quietly. "No..." He said under his breathe. The image in the mirror was of Sora crying over Luna's body, for she's lying on the ground...dead.
"I think more than just a deep sleep is in order for that Moon Girl." Maleficent said, chuckling evilly.
"But how will we kill that girl? You know Sora will do everything in his power to protect her!" Pete said.
"Oh...but not if he is preoccupied with something else to the point where he CAN'T protect her!" Maleficent said.
Mickey quickly grabbed his communicator that was damaged and tried to find a way to fix it. He needed to get the news out to Sora, Donald, Goofy...and Luna. Protect her, Sora...protect Luna at all costs.
OOO
After the ball, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Luna had said their goodbyes to Snow White and her family, got on the Gummi Ship, and headed off to save King Mickey. It was pretty quiet between Sora and Luna for a short while.
"You were great back at Snow White's ball, Luna." Donald said.
"Y-yeah, you were. I-I was blown away with that voice you have inside." Sora added, making Luna grin with a slight blush.
"Thanks you guys." Luna replied as she touched Sora's hand, making him blush as well. "But I think he has come."
Sora looked at Luna...and smiled. He took her hand into his and kissed the top of it, making Luna giggle.
"AWWW...you two are so cute together." Goofy said as that Gummi Ship hit turbulence making everything shake around them.
"AHH!"
Sora pulled Luna towards him to protect her from anything that could fall on top of them. Donald tried to stay stable with the turbulence, but was so far he was failing. Before you knew it, they had crash landed into another world. Luckily nothing broke off of the ship, or else they would be stranded wherever they were.
Sora looked at Luna in his arms, who was hiding her face in his chest and gripping onto his hoodie jacket in fear. "Hey, Luna...it's alright. We're safe now. It's over." Sora said, making Luna look up at Sora while still shaking slightly. He hugged her tighter in his arms, and tried to sooth her a little bit.
"Gawrsh, Donald, what do you suppose happened?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know. We must have hit some turbulence. Luckily the ship still runs...and hopefully still flies." Donald replied before looking behind him to see Sora holding Luna in his arms. "AWWW...how cute!"
"Shut up, Donald." Sora barked slightly at Donald, making Luna giggle a little bit. "You okay?"
Luna looked up at Sora again and grinned before kissing his cheek. "I'm fine. Just a little shaken up." She replied.
Sora smiled with a slight blush while he rubbed the back o his neck after letting go of Luna.
Donald got out of the ship with Goofy, Sora, and Luna, and saw a 16 year old girl with light brown hair and blue eyes playing in the garden with a little girl who looked like she was 9 years old with short ginger hair and brown eyes. The 9 year old wore a red short sleeved shirt with a red skirt that stopped below the knees and black flats. The 16 yer old girl wore something similar to Belle's blue dress, only it was green and white with black flats as well. [You will be meeting these 2 again in a story I'm working on right now.]
"Belle?" Luna asked as she began to walk towards the 2 kids.
The 16 year old girl looked up and saw Luna walking towards them. "Uh...if you're talking to me, that's not my name." She said, with an annoyed sound to her voice.
"Oh..." Luna stopped walking and looked her over. "I-I'm sorry...I thought you were Belle."
"Trust me, I get that a lot." The girl said.
"Hi!" The 9 year old said. "I'm Princess Rose!"
"Rose...we don't..."
"Sora, Donald, Goofy!" A voice broke through the air as Sora looked over to see Belle wearing her blue dress.
"Howdy Belle." Goofy said.
"Hey mommy!" Rose yelled as she ran up to Belle and hugged her.
"Hey sweetie." Belle looked over and saw Luna standing there. "Luna...what are you...?"
"I'm helping Sora, Donald, and Goofy find King Mickey. Maleficent has him prisoner." Luna replied, making the 16 year old gasp.
"That's terrible!" She said.
"Yeah. I hope you save him in time." Belle added as she noticed a vine climbing up the gate and all over the ground. It had started wrap around Luna's leg, but luckily Luna noticed and cut it with her keyblade that magically appeared in her hand. "Joli...it's showing."
Joli looked around and noticed what was going on and quickly concentrated on making it go down, and it did.
"Whoa...you can control plants and stuff?" Sora asked, in utter disbelief.
"Uh...yeah. I'm Princess Joli."
"Joli...that's a pretty name." Donald said.
"Thanks. That is actually what it means in French."
Luna looked at Joli and could see herself in this 16 year old princess. When she was 16, she couldn't control her powers from the necklace around her neck. But now that she is 18, she has learned to control them with all her might.
Just then, Heartless appeared behind Luna, but she didn't notice. "Luna, look out!" Sora yelled as he sliced them into dust and as Luna spun around to see the remains of the Heartless.
She looked at Sora and smiled. He really does care about my safety. She thought to herself.
"Gawrsh, that was a close one." Goofy said.
"Yeah...yeah it was." Luna said quietly as Sora turned around and looked at her with a grin.
"Sora, Donald, Goofy!" A voice said making everyone look to see a guy with ginger hair and blue eyes. His skin was pale and he wore prince clothing.
"Uh...do we know you?" Sora asked.
Luna turned around and saw the prince of the castle, and Belle's husband. "Adam, how you doing?" She asked.
"Luna! I'm fine! You?" Adam asked as he put an arm around Belle.
"Same old, same old." Luna replied.
"Who are you?" Sora asked.
"Guys, it's me! Adam..." Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked confused for a while, until...
"He was the beast, guys." Belle blurted out.
"WHAT?!" Donald screamed shocked.
"No way!" Sora said.
"Doesn't he look handsome now?" Luna exclaimed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Uh...I'd say. I take it the spell was broken." Sora said as he stood next to Luna.
"Yeah...Belle broke it obviously. We got married and now we have Rose, who is 9..." Adam began as Rose giggled all cutely. "...and Joli, who is 16."
"And who has a curse that was carried down to me!" Joli yelled before running away to her room in the castle.
"Joli..." Belle called but didn't get an answer right away because the castle door slammed behind Joli. "She's been like this ever since she fell in love with this one boy."
"Gawrsh, you would think she'd be happy." Goofy said.
"Yeah." Sora added as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Well, you'd think that...but every time he's around, a thorny vine shoots up from the ground and almost kills him. She has to run away from him in order to protect him." Belle mentioned.
"Oh, that makes it a curse." Luna said. "Can I go talk to her?"
"Sure. But I highly doubt she'll listen to what you have to say." Adam said.
"Thank you." Luna ran towards the castle when her necklace shined and she disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Luna!"
"It's alright, Sora. That's a hidden power she has being a princess of the moon." Belle replied.
Sora still wasn't sure if she was okay, but he had hope and pray that she was inside the castle.
OOO
Joli was lying on her bed when she heard a knock on the door. "Dad, go away!"
"It's Princess Luna of the Moon...can I come in?" Joli got off the bed and went to the door, opening it up. "Hey."
"Did my mom and dad send you?"
"Uh, no, no, I...I offered."
"Oh." Joli walked back to her bed and lied back down on it. Luna walked in and closed the door behind her. She walked up to Joli's bed and sat down on it, while Joli sat up. "I'm not like other princesses out there. I have this weird power to control plants and vines...and I hate them."
"Joli, when I was your age, I couldn't control my powers too."
"What kind of powers do you have?"
"I have powers to disappear and reappear in places...like I did just recently."
"That's it?"
"Not just that...my powers come from the moon." Luna put the palm of her hand out to the floor and out of the floor came a beautiful white rose.
"Whoa!" Joli walked up to it and could see in the center a white crescent moon.
"I have a similar power, Joli. And when I was 16, I couldn't control either. But as I grew up, I gained control..." Luna began as she walked up behind Joli and placed a hand on her shoulder. "...as can you."
"But every-time Thomas comes around, my powers want to kill him."
Thomas? Is that the name of the boy you fell in love with?"
Joli sighed as she looked at Luna. "We met at my 16th birthday ball. We just clicked. But every-time I see him..."
"Joli..."
(SONG: "Let it Grow" - Frozen – Nim Aranel parody) [You will get this song again in another story]
Joli kept looking at Luna, as a tear rolled down her cheek. Luna whipped it away and just smiled at her to try to cheer her up.
LUNA: The trees grows dense in the forest immense, on the hilltops and the plain, your creation of vegetation, can no longer be restrained, the mountains tower overhead your kingdom bound, and you feel your soul's been buried underground.
Joli stood up straight and walked up to the balcony, with Luna watching.
JOLI: Don't feed the roots, let them dry out, and just surrender to all the seeds of doubt, you know you're dead, no good in life...
LUNA: well, get alive! Let it grow, let it grow, with the soul in these hands, let it grow, let it grow, the earth you shall command, you will rise, to the dark's dismay, let the vines climb high...
JOLI: The dirt never bothered me anyway.
Luna smiled as she pulled Joli back into the room. "You can control it."
JOLI: I never thought my worries, would tear my mind apart, and that loneliness would someday cut down my thorny heart, I can't look back there's so much more, the path ahead is just too green to ignore, no crown, no sword can limit me...
LUNA: You're free!
JOLI: Let it grow, let it grow, every breathe is like the first, let it grow, let it grow, I will overcome the worst, now let die, those years gone by, let the vines climb high...
Joli walked back out onto the balcony and made a vine climb up the wall, and then a rose appeared on the top of said vine. Luna was being so proud of how Joli was controlling her powers very well, as Joli made another vine with another rose on top of it on the other side of her balcony.
JOLI: With fields and valleys in my palm I have no fear...the chlorophyll runs in my veins in color bright and clear...I must not wither I must face the unforeseen, they can call me Mother Earth, cause I'm sure that I'm no queen! Let it grow, let it grow, in the wood I take my place, let it grow, let it grow, the past has been erased, I'm awake, I will live today...let the vines clime high...
LUNA: The dirt never bothered you anyway.
(End of song)
"Joli?" A male voice called for her.
"Oh, gosh...that's him. That's Thomas."
"Okay, just control it. You can do it, Joli. I believe in you." Luna pushed Joli to the door and was about to open it when Joli hugged her.
"Thank you, Luna." Luna smiled and hugged her back before they pulled away and Joli left her room to see Thomas standing by the staircase. She walked up to him...and no thorny vine came out behind him.
"Hey, Tom."
"Joli...I don't care that you have these powers...or if I die by the thorns of a vine...all I care about is you."
Joli smiled as Thomas looked behind him and then back at Joli. "There's no..."
"I've learned to control it...thanks to a friend."
Thomas smiled as he hugged Joli, making her hug him back.
Luna was smiling the whole time at the scene, when she noticed Sora walking towards her. "Hey...I see you got to her."
"Yeah...I did."
Just then, Donald ran in, saying: "Guys! Guys! King Mickey's calling the Gummi Ship!"
OOO
Sora and Luna listened to the call.
"I am so glad I got this thing working. Sora, you HAVE to protect Princess Luna, at all costs! Maleficent and the Evil Queen are planning on killing her!"
Luna gasped as Sora pulled her into his arms in a protective way.
"I hate to call and run but I just HAD to warn you guys about their plane. Sora, don't let anything distract you...unless it is Luna herself."
"Your majesty!" Sora complained as Luna giggled at Sora's childish behavior.
"I'm sorry, Sora, but I know that you kissed her awake. So, just be with her! I have to go..." Mickey's voice went out off the station and static was heard.
"Gawrsh, do you think he's alright?" Goofy asked as he sat in the passenger's seat.
"I'm sure he's alright." Sora said. He waved goodbye to Adam and Belle, and her 2 daughters, and Thomas before getting in with Luna and Donald following suit. They took off to the sky and headed for the next world.
Luna moved her seat closer to Sora's and placed her head on his shoulder, making Sora put his arm around her. "Sora..."
"Hmm?"
"I know this might be early to say and all but...I love you."
Sora just grinned and kissed the top of her head before saying: " I love you too."
