Meera and her Magical Clothes

A/N: Yes, Meera will now get the clothes found in the link on my profile page. Eventually, I'm gonna color that picture, but for now, just know that it's black and purple… like almost everything ELSE she owns…

Cookie rewarding time:

Cauryn Terenkey: Thanks for the review! And yes, that voice was Riku… and yes, Riku's voice DOES sound a lot like Zopyris's … I'm not saying how or why yet. So… YOU GET COOKIES! One for guessing correctly, and a big plate of infinite, never-rotting cookies for still reading my story when it was so super boring! YAY YOU! And for your other review… All I'm gonna say is that I replied to THAT one privately… Heh…

LockInspira: Lol, didn't think of that! Heh… thanks for the compliment and the review! OH and you get some more cookies… wow I hope you all don't get fat, hehe…

Wilixer: Wow, thanks so much! I was just about to get to typing up this chapter when I decided to check my email to see if my friend Emily had reviewed yet, and I saw yours… wow… I honestly wasn't expecting this many reviews this early! Thanks a super lot for the review, and here's the update! And here are some cookies for you!

So… here it is! Chapter 5!!!

Knock, knock, knock…

"Meera, let me in," Cloud's voice said through her thick doors. Meera sighed and walked over, slowly opening her door and letting Cloud… and three overly large fairies come into her room.

"…What?" Meera asked. The fairies turned toward each other and began bickering in hushed voices… before Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Mickey came in too. Riku and Meera exchanged a glare before fully ignoring each other.

"Ladies, stop your bickering and get Meera set with her new clothes…" Cloud told the color-coded fairies.

"And, um, you might want to just start out all three of you working together on it, instead of fighting over that too…" Sora suggested, remembering what happened when they made him his clothes…

"Wait, what are you doing?" Meera asked.

"Oh dear, didn't you know? We're here to design your new clothes, ones suitable for your travels! Riku was supposed to tell you!" Exclaimed the blue fairy. Meera turned her head toward Riku and he just shrugged, smirking. Meera huffed and turned back to the three fairies, nodding.

"Go ahead…" Meera said.

"All right girls, all together now…" The three fairies said, Meera closing her eyes. She felt a tickling sensation and when it stopped, she opened her eyes and looked down. She was wearing a short-sleeved dress. It was black, and where the top layer stopped, one-fourth of the way down her thigh, another, thinner layer came out that was dark purple with gray lace coming out of the bottom, this part reaching mid-thigh. She wore knee-high boots that were a very dark gray, or a very light black. She was glad it was covering her shoulder…

"Wow…" Meera muttered, looking toward the other five in the room. Kairi smiled and nodded, Sora just nodded, Cloud didn't give any visible reaction, Mickey smiled, and… Riku glared… "Would you STOP doing that?"

"Doing what?" Riku asked. Meera rolled her eyes before turning back to the three fairies.

"Thanks… but um… why are these clothes any better than my others?" Meera asked. The three giggled and turned to Sora.

"Sora, dear, you can explain it to the three of them later, can't you?" The red fairy asked. Sora nodded again and pushed Riku and Kairi in front of the three fairies, Meera stepping aside.

"Um… I'd really prefer if you didn't change my clothes… just add the… magic stuff to 'em?" Riku requested uncertainly. Kairi nodded in agreement about her clothes also.

"If you say so," The green fairy commented. The three did their magic, causing Kairi and Riku's clothes to glow before the glow went away, and the fairies lowered their wands, smiling. "Well, you're all set! Donald and Goofy are waiting in the Gummi dock. You shouldn't keep them waiting for too long."

Mickey exited Meera's room, followed by Kairi, Riku, and Sora. Cloud turned to Meera before walking over and giving her a hug.

"Be careful Meera…" Cloud muttered. Meera's head snapped up and her eyes widened.

"You mean we're leaving NOW?" Meera asked. Cloud nodded.

"But… I can teach you how to summon your Keyblade before you go. Hold out your right hand," Meera did so. "Now concentrate hard on your Keyblade… I'm assuming you've seen it before, correct?" Meera nodded. She closed her eyes and appeared to be deep in thought before there were a few shiny lights and her Keyblade appeared in front of her. She opened her eyes and looked up at Cloud.

"Thank you Cloud… I'll miss you," Meera commented. Cloud nodded before leading her safely to the Gummi dock, and Meera was surprised when she saw Yuffie, Tifa, Aerith, Leon, and Cid all standing there, waiting to see her off. Tears sprung to her eyes as they all gave her a hug… of some sort, and wished her farewell and good luck.

"Thanks guys…" Meera told them all. They nodded, smiled, and Cloud took Meera to the Gummi ship door, lightly pushing her inside, where she ran into Riku's back, but quickly pushed herself off and took a seat, far, far away from Riku.

"You must be Meera," A duck said to Meera. She nodded. "I'm Donald, and that guy over there id Goofy."

"Hiya Meera!" Goofy exclaimed before sitting down in front of her, Donald, Sora, and Mickey taking the controls. Kairi sat down beside Meera, and Riku went in the back corner of the ship… away from everyone, sulking.

"…"

"So, Meera… Have you seen all of our Keyblades?" Kairi asked Meera. She shook her head.

"I haven't seen anyone's except for mine. Why?" Meera asked, slightly curious. Kairi leaned over to Meera and whispered something in her ear.

"Look… I know you don't like him, but I'm trying to get Riku to stop being so depressed lately. He used to be stuck in the Darkness, and he's feeling guilty for everything. Could you at least try to be nice to him? At least until he stops sulking?" Kairi requested. Meera sighed and turned to look at said Keyblade Bearer, sulking in a corner.

"Fine…" Meera whispered back. "What's that have to do with you Keyblades?" Meera asked quietly. Kairi smiled.

"Well, I was thinking you might like to see them… except for Sora and Mickey since they're a bit busy right now," Kairi said, holding out her hand and summoning her Keyblade that was covered in flowers.

"It's very feminine, isn't it?" Meera commented, comparing Kairi's Keyblade to her own in her mind. Kairi nodded, before turning to Riku. Meera took a deep breath.

"Hey Riku, why don't you come show Meera your Keyblade?" Kairi suggested, making Riku look over toward Meera with a raised eyebrow.

"Why?" Riku asked suspiciously. Kairi turned to Meera also to see what she'd say.

"I just… I want to see how it looks, I guess… I'm bored," Meera explained, pulling her words off the top of her head. Riku shrugged.

"Hold out your arm," Riku told her.

"Why?"

"Just do it," Riku added. Meera held out her arm and stared at Riku expectantly. He rolled his eyes before closing them, seeming to be concentrating. And then there were shiny lights around Meera's hand, and a Keyblade formed there… a Keyblade that Meera assumed to be Riku's.

"When'd you learn how to do THAT?" Kairi asked, in awe. Riku shrugged.

"I guess I taught myself how… after I learned to take someone else's Keyblade from them… I don't know… advantages of being the True Keyblade Master?" Riku uncertainly answered, not all that proud of his title anymore.

"Oh…" Kairi muttered. She turned back around to see Meera closely examining Riku's Keyblade, clearly interested. Meera quickly took a sharp intake of breath, sighed, and walked over to where Riku was sitting, taking a seat beside him. She held his Keyblade out to him, and he stared at her for a moment before taking it back, and dismissing it.

"I have… a question. Why is it that your Keyblade has a distinct shape to it, unlike mine, Sora's, Kairi's, and Mickey's?" Meera asked him, Kairi smiling at her effort, and Riku in shock that she was being so nice to him.

"Uh… I don't really know… It's the same shape as my old sword, Souleater, but it's a Keyblade…" Riku explained. Meera nodded, and walked back over to her seat beside Kairi, everyone silent for about five minutes before Meera turned around, facing Riku again.

"Hold out YOUR arm," Meera said to Riku, startling him. He blinked a few times before doing as she told and holding out his arm. Meera smirked and closed her eyes tightly, imagining a picture of her Keyblade in his hand… and then she heard a slight jingling noise and opened her eyes.

She did it. Her Keyblade was now being held by Riku… and she decided that Kairi owed her BIG for that. Kairi was staring at Meera, apparently amused by her efforts, and Riku was examining Meera's Keyblade. After about three minutes, Meera held out her arm and summoned her Keyblade back to her before dismissing it.

"I still don't like you," Meera and Riku said at the same time.

A/N: Awww! Riku and Meera had a moment! HOW CUTE! I wrote it and I'm still in shock with how that scene turned out… Wow, Riku and Meera really have minds of their own… I wasn't planning on half of that scene, heh…

Hope you liked it! I'll update again soon!
