CNR: Welcome back to "What Would Have Happened"! Thanks for reading. I finished chapter 2 waaaay ahead of schedule... So, here it is.

Raro: Why is this chapter called "I Don't Like Peas!"?!?

CNR: Patience, young grasshopper. The path to wisdom is paved with styrofoam plates.

Raro: ...what?

CNR: You'll see. Disclaimers: I own Raro. Square Enix owns all Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy characters.

Raro: Will this chapter be less depressing and longer than chapter 1? Huh? Huh?

CNR: I said, you'll see! So here's "I Don't Like Peas!"

When Raro regained awareness, he realized that he was laying face-down on a white floor. "Huh? This looks familiar..." After standing up, he gasped- he was standing in Sora's pod room. Sora was in his pod, and one of his tied-for-favorite characters, Roxas, stood but a few inches from him. But something seemed wrong...

After standing up, he cautiously walked over to Roxas- Raro remembered that, after all, Roxas was still really upset from finding out that he was a Nobody. He cautiously murmured, "...Roxas?"

...no response. He tried again: "Roxas? Dude!" He waved his hand in front of Roxas's face. No response. "Hm. Interesting," he commented as he wiped the tear from earlier from his face. Ok, this is officially what I didn't expect to do today...

Finally, a noise- a female voice: "Raro? Raro, can you hear me?"

After nerviously jumping a foot from fright and with no idea of how to talk to a disembodied voice, he simply replied with, "Yeah."

But the voice didn't respond with something that showed that it had heard what words he said. It acted like it only heard a noise, because it responded with: "Can you yell something to show that you heard me? All I heard was '-ah.'."

Raro, wanting to comply with what seemed to be the only thing that knew what was going on, yelled the first thing that ran through his mind - "I DON'T LIKE PEAS!"

The voice got the message this time: "OK! That... works. Ok, Raro, I need you to go back to the room where Donald and Goofy are sleeping."

"Uhm... ok." He went to the first pod room. "I'm here!"

"Ok, now open the second-to-right pod." He did so.

"Ok?"

"Now, open the farthest pod on the left and jump into it."

"WHAT?!?" exclaimed Raro when he realized that the pod had no bottom.

"Just trust me."

"You sure?"

"Well, I could let you stay in the Pod Room and let you resume your lively conversation with Roxas..."

"You saw that?"

"Yes, I saw it over the cameras DiZ installed here."

"You have a very convincing point. Ok, here I go... AAAAAH!" Raro yelled as he jumped into the pod. He felt himself falling down into the darkness, screaming the whole time with his eyes shut. If he had his eyes open, he would have noticed the darkness very quickly turning into a bright white light, and eventually he would have recognized the room he was standing in as Namine's room. Standing there still screaming with eyes shut, he realized that the falling feeling was gone.

"AAAAAAaaaah?..." "Cool, I'm in Namine's room!" he thought. Namine had always secretly been one of his favorite characters, ever since Chain of Memories. He walked around the room, admiring Namine's pictures, especially the one of Roxas and Axel, and he wondered again... How would the game change?...

Suddenly, the same female voice he had had a conversation with earlier spoke behind him: "Hi, Raro."

Raro jumped again. "Will you stop scaring m-" he started to say as he turned around to face the voice, but he stopped- there stood his other tied-for-favorite character, Namine. "Namine?!?" He ran up to her. "I can't believe I'm actually standing here, talking to Namine!"

"Raro, we need to talk."

"Ok, but can I ask you some questions first?" asked Raro as he and Namine sat down in the chairs around the table in the room.

"Sure." replied Namine.

"Why did I have to open those pods and jump in one to get here? Couldn't I have just walked?"

"Well, even though Sora's pod room and the pod room for Donald and Goofy were frozen, the rest of the mansion was still in real-time. Therefore, you would have to face a bunch of Nobodies, and you would be weaponless. So I told you the way to access a hole in the game that allows you to teleport." was Namine's explanation.

"Ok, that explains a lot. My other question is, why am I here, in the game?" Raro asked Namine for his second question.

"First of all, you are going to be a keyblade wielder."

"I am?!? Sweet!" He held out his hand, expecting the Kingdom Key to materialize, but nothing happened.

"Allow me to explain. You are going to be a keyblade wielder, but you currently have no keyblade. You must retrieve your keyblade from DiZ, and then it will be yours. We will go to DiZ's computer room when we finish here. Second, you have a choice to make."

"A choice?"

"Yes. You were chosen to choose the fate of Roxas for the rest of the game. You can keep him separate from Sora and be able to see what would happen if they stayed separate, like you've always wanted, or you can make Kingdom Hearts II's story go on as it always has."

"Let's say I go with the first choice. Is there a catch?" questioned Raro.

Namine replied, "Yes. You see, Roxas will become a main target of Organization XIII, because they will want to regain him as their number XIII. Because this will result in more attacks from the Organization, you will be pulled into the game every time Roxas, Sora, Donald, and Goofy must fight a member of the 13 Nobodies. Otherwise than that, you will play the game from the controller in your room. Also, your keyblade will only exist when you are fighting the Organization. If you choose to let the game go on as always, you won't recieve a keyblade and be teleported straight back to your room."

"Ok..." Raro thought very carefully. "But how will Sora wake up without Roxas?"

"We- DiZ and I, I mean- will wake him so that he'll be just as he was at the beginning of the game you call 'Chain of Memories', with his memories intact, although he will have grown over the past year."

Raro thought for a moment. So far, there isn't a truly 'bad' side to changing the story... "I'll change the game. Besides, how bad could it be, having to fight a couple of Nobodies in black capes?"

As soon as Raro finished talking, a noise similar to a bell ringing floated through the mansion.

"Ok, Raro." Namine smiled. "If you'll follow me, I'll take you to DiZ's room so you can get that keyblade."

CNR: That was chapter 2.

Raro: I still don't get it.

CNR: What don't you get?

Raro: Why 'the road to wisdom is paved with styrofoam plates'. I never got why you said that.

CNR: That would be the 'mostly random goofyness' promised in the first chapter.

Raro: Ah, thank you for explaining that, Nerd-sensei!

CNR: No problem.

Raro: But wait, who chose me to get to choose what happens to Roxas?

CNR: You know I can't tell you that now...

Raro: (sigh) A dude can dream, can't he?
