Terra rolled her eyes as Sydnees voice faded and she went limp, "Wow, the things I have to put up with. She cant even handle a few burns why does the organization even bother with her?" Terra wiped the indigo hair off the blindfolded girls face and tried to pry the blindfold off, "Shit this is impossible."

Terra gave up and looked at the burns, they actually looked really bad, raw and torn, "Ew...that must hurt..." Terra picked up Sydnees arm and shrugged, at least they were at her house and safe now. She held the arm and placed her hand on it. A glowing orb appeared and dissapeared into Sydnees arm, a few seconds later the burns were gone and Sydnee's arm was perfectly healed, "That comes in handy..." She healed the other arm and let Sydnee sleep.

Terra had to find a way to disguise Sydnee and herslef. If she cut Sydnees long hair, and put a headband in it to keep it out of her face, Sydnee would look completly diffrent, the only problem was that blindfold, they would recidnise her in a heart beat. Well not a heart beat, more like the blink of an eye, the heart beat was entirley impossible. So maybe that wasnt going to work. What could Terra do though? She had to look diffrent too. She could always die her hair and change her look. That was a lot of trouble, she had better change Sydnee while she was still asleep though just in case Sydnee disagreed with her ideas.

Terra grabbed a pair of sciccors and snipped away at the long indigo hair, when she was done, it looked good. Sydnee's hair covered the blindfold and came down to around her neck. Terra overlooked her work and was proud of it, now the only thing was hair color, blonde or black? She only had those two colors, Terra was not going blone. She died Sydnee's hair blonde and then went to work on her own hair. Hair changed a lot about a person, Sydnee didnt even look like herself anymore and Terra looked a lot diffrent, she gave herself red extensions. She looked awesome, long red and black hair, no one was going to recidnise her.

.........

I stretched and looked around then remembered I couldnt see. I rubbed my arms, they were perfectly healed, "Terra? Are you there?"

I waited while I rubbed my hair, something was diffrent about it, "Yeah, I'm coming Sydnee!"

Ok, now I was sure there was something diffrent about my hair, it was light and soft and...SHORT?! MY HAIR WAS SHORT. OMFG, someone was going to die. DIE, "Terra! Whats-Whats wrong with my hair!? I-I-Its short!!!!"

I was freaking out, it took me my life to get it as long as it had been. WHHHHYYY?! I ran my fingers through it and held it away from my head, it only came about a foot away from my head, "No, nothings wrong with it, its been like that since I first saw you."

"NO IT WASNT!" My hair! "Terra!!!! It was long! An-and awww...my hair..." I was loosing to much my family, my home, my friends, my eye sight, my hair, what was next?

"Stop blubbering, your fine. I had to change it so that we could go into hiding, we are going job hunting today so that we can blend in." She grabbed my hand and pullled me off the couch.

"But Terra...I cant go out like this...its short..."

She sounded so uncaring, "Come on. I'm going to get you some new clothes and then you can change and we will go get jobs, you can work at the hm...uh. Library, no one ever goes there...."

She shoved some clothes into my hands and pushed me into a room, "But-"

"Yeah, thats perfect, you can memorize where the fiction books are kept and can trace the titles out for people. Thats perfect. And I will get a job at the music shop. Cause I like music and its close to the library in case you need any help."

That was a lot to take in, I pulled off my shirt and picked up a piece of clothing...no thats a skirt...theres the shirt. It was comfortable, a little loose, but comfortable. Umm, ok it wasnt to hard to dress my self without my eyes, but I did try to put a knee sock on as a glove. When I was done, I was wearing sneakers, knee socks, a skirt, and a t-shirt. I stepped out of the room, "Terra..."

"You look great! Here put this hat on," She shoved a hat on my head, it covered my blindfolded eyes, "There, cant even tell your almost blind. Lets go.."

She dragged me out a door and I felt a cool breeze, I wonder what world we were in, it was nice, I could smell an ocean breeze, "Hey Terra, what world are we in?"

"Later. I'm going to take you to the library, get you the job and show you to the fiction section. Ok?"

"Ya." I nodded my head and listened around me.

Some people were laughing and yelling, "Hey Sora-go long!"

"To far! Hey you two look out!"

There was a loud whacking sound and a ball hit my head and knocked the hat off, "Ow-Terra! Wheres my hat?...Terra?"

Someone tapped my shoulder and handed me my hat, "Here, it was by your foot..."

It was a guys voice, and he seemed tall, "Oh thanks, I must have missed it." I kept my head down until I put my hat on and made sure the blindfold was covered.

"I dont see how you could-"

"Hey Riku, come back over here! Wakka has a funny joke!"

"Kay! I'll see you around?"

I nodded, "Yeah maybe."

He ran off and someone else grabbed my hand, "Come on Sydnee, geez your slow."

"Sorry I got hit in the head with a ball..." I rubbed my head.

"Excuses, excuses. Come on the library is this way."

"Oh-Okay..." I followed her voice and stumbled along behind her, she didnt think about how hard it was to be blind did she?

"Hurry up-carful of the-" I tripped on a stair, "Stairs..."

"Oh thanks for the warning..." I took an extra step after the stairs and stepped on my foot, "God, I hate this."

"Oh you'll be ok once we get you your job." Terra yanked my hand and we walked into the library, "Hey Selphie, got any job openings?"

"Uh yeah." A girls voice was heard, it sounded like a younger girl, but you cant really judge by a persons voice, "So what kind of job are you looking for? I have book organizer and let me see...oh yeah book sorter. You might have more fun with sorter, there is a lot of old books, you would be checking out if the pages were all ok, no wrinkles or tears in any of the pages. What sounds better to you?"

"Sydnee, what do you want to try?"

I thought sorter would be easier, I dont have to see to be able to catch wrinkles or tears, "Uh-Sorter sounds easier-more fun."

"Thats what I was thinking..." Terra dropped my arm, "Is that ok with you Selphie?"

"Yeah, let me show you-Sydnee, right?" I nodded, "Yeah let me show you the books that need to be looked at."She directed her voice to Terra, "How do you know my name?"

"Long story..." Good, no one had recidniced her behind her disguise.

"Ok, so tell me about youself..." I heard Terra leave. I wanted Selphie to talk so that I could follow her voice.

"Well, I usually hang out with Sora, Wakka, Tidus, Riku, and Kairi," She went arond a corner and I sayed close behind, "But latley I've needed money so I took this job." She stopped and I almost ran into her, "Ok anyway, here is the pile of books I want you to sort out, just check the pages for injury, I'll check on you in a while."

"Thanks..." I sat down and picked up a book, dust flew into my nose and I sneezed, "Oh...old books..." I liked books so it was no problem, but I couldnt read these. I open the book and it cracked and sounded like it was splitting, "Oh you poor thing..." I ran my fingers over the edge of the book and my finger became thick with dust, "Neglection..." This book was in terrible conditition. A few hours later I had a pile of perfect books and a pile of sadly worn books.

....meanwhile...

Terra headed over to the music store across the street from the library. Her new long black and red hair was getting annoying, always having to brush it our of her face. The good thing about her new job, is that she could see everyone that went into the library, so if anyone not supposed to be there went in there, she would know and could warn Sydnee. She walked into the store and was greeted by a few friendly welcome to Destiny Islands. She rolled her eyes, ok her disguise was not that good. They were trying to welcome her to her own world, now that was sort of sad. Oh well, she might as well play along with it, "Hey I'm Terras cousin, Xikki."

"Hey Xikki, I'm the owner of this shop. Looking for some music, or maybe just hanging out...?"

"Actually, I was looking for a job." Terra liked that name, Xikki, she might use that from now on, she was no longer Terra since she lost her heart.

"Oh well can you work? What am I saying, your Terras cousin, of course you can! Here, you can either sort out the cd's or work at the reigister or-"

"I think I'll work at the register..." It was closer to the window, she would have rather sorted out music to maybe find a good band, but the window wasnt in sight from there.

"You know how to work it?" The guy stepped up to the register and pressed a few buttons.

Terra nodded her head, "Yeah, I know how."

"Ok then I'm going on my break, see you in a hour!" He left the store.

"What kind of guy hires someone he doesnt even know, then leaves her with a register full of munny for an hour?" Terra slumped behind the register and watched the library, surprisingly people were actually going in there. Thats not all that good though...Riku walked in, and a group of random kids followed him from behind, "Wow...library is popular today...I hope Sydnee doesnt try to be social..."

..................

I picked up another book, its cover fell off and the pages flew everywhere. "Oh...dang." I shuffled the pages together and placed the inside the cover and on top of the abused books. I actually was enjoying this job a bit. I heard someone coming and pulled my hat down a little, "Hey."

It was Riku, I could tell from his voice, "Hey. What brings you to the library?"

"I was looking for a good book..."

Oh crap. I couldnt help him find a book without him figuring out I had a blindfold stuck to my face, "Oh well what kind of books do you like?"

Maybe I could just tell him a good book. I hated my hair short, it was driving me crazy, "I'm open to just about anything, whats a book that you like?"

Ok, so a book I liked...I pulled my hat down while I was thinking, "Mirror Mirror is a good book, its in the fantasy section...."

"Ok, thanks...I'm Riku by the way."

Oh crap, I hope he wasnt holding out his hand to shake, cause personaly, I didnt like contact with people and I couldnt see his hand, "I'm Sydnee. I'm Terra's cousin from Radiant Gardens, I'm just visiting family up here for a few days."

It was quiet for a second, "You should come hang out with me and Sora, Kairi might like to meet you too...if you want..."

Oh, I didnt want to turn down the offer, but I didnt think it was such a good idea, "Thanks Riku, but-"

"She's got chores to do." I had chores? No wait, that was...Zexion?! How did he find me so quickly, I mean, my hair was short.

I stood up and someone grabbed me, it was a smooth cold hand, "Oh, you must be Sydnees boy-"

"Brother." Zexion replied quickly, "I'm her brother. Now come on Sydnee, Terra is waiting back at the house..."

I didnt want to make a scene just in case I got Riku involved, "But Zexion, I'm working right now." I had fake happiness in my voice.

"Thats ok, we dont need the munny any more...lets go." He was speaking with hidden firmness and his grip was tightening.

I think Riku could sense the tense vibes we were giving each other, "Ok, well maybe I'll see you tomorrow then, bye Sydnee, bye Zexion...what was that book called again?"

"Mirror Mirror. See you Riku!" I waved.

He must have gone out of sight because Zexion snapped at me, "What the hell were you thinking? You cant hide from the organization, no matter how much you mess up you hair or change you look." He gave a sigh and started pulling me off, "Your just lucky it was me who found you."

"Lucky? I'm LUCKY?" I pulled him to a stop and yanked my arm away, "Do you even know the kind of crap I've been put through?" I was begining to rant, "I've lost my family, friends, home, sight, HAIR, and who knows what next. You call that lucky?" I pulled the hat off, "Look at my hair, its freaking short! And you know what else? I'm wearing a skirt! I dont like skirts, they're girly and this one is particularly short!" I was pouring out all my troubles to him, "And I got kicked out of the castle, ME. Not the newbies, but me! I was there longer than anyone else, how could he do that to me? That was my only family, my only home, but no, you break one rule and its out to the streets." I was about to cry, but then got angry again, "Then you and Axel had to come along and mess everything up! Its-its...stupid!" I stamped my foot and turned away. He started laughing, "You think this is funny? I've lost just about everything and your laughing at me..."

"No, I'm not laughing at your troubles, I'm laughing at your hair, it picked up static from the hat and its sticking straight up." I shoved the hat back up on my head.

"T-thats no reason to laugh." I was turning pink, no red. It was now dawning on me that I just poured out more than half my problems to the person who was stealing me. Terra wouldnt let him though, I knew she would come check on me sooner or later, then I would be safe.
