(Anna enters Crystalmaiden's room)

Anna: Crystal, I'm glad you've updated this chapter.

(Crystalmaiden busy sleeping on her desk in front of her laptop.)

Anna: Crystal?

Blair: Crystal's trying to sleep. After her time at Disneyland, it's taking all her will power not to do something with us with a Disney story. Not to mention the fact she's been working on the prequel to my story.

Anna: Too late, this story involves Disney this chapter has Snow White. That only leaves you and maybe Alyss if she hasn't died yet.

(Blair shuddered)

Blair: As long as I don't have to wear tights, I'm good.

(Crystalmaiden jumped awake before looking at the two OCs)

Crystalmaiden: Oh good, I need to do the Disclaimers.

Disclaimers: I don't own Kingdom Hearts and Disney. The only thing I own here is Anna.

Crystalmaiden: Well, that's about it. (Went back to work)

Chapter 3: Dwarf Woodlands

I couldn't help but admire space; all the stars looked so amazing and beautiful even as we flew pass. I almost forgot that I was on an important mission and that Ven had followed me against Master Eraqus's orders. It was only till Ven spoke that I remembered everything. "Anna, let's land there." I looked to see him pointing to a world I recognized at once as the Dwarf Woodlands; the world of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I nodded and I flew down with him to our first new world.

We landed smoothly, which was lucky since it was our first time on our gliders. Just like in the game, we landed at the top of a ledge near the entrance to the diamond mine where the dwarfs work at. Ven seemed very interested at his surroundings, my only thought were the Unversed that could be anywhere. "Hey Anna, look." He pointed below us and we looked to see seven little men walking in a single file line to the mine. "Wow!" Ven ran to watch the dwarfs walk into the mine.

"You seem pretty excited." I said folding my arms as he turned to look at me, smiling.

"Yeah, I never would have thought the outside world would be so strange." He said amazed. I couldn't help but smile at his innocence. Still, I have to tell him the truth about me being a Destiny Keeper. If we're going to start our adventure, I want to be honest with him. I'm tired of lying.

"Ven, there's something I need to tell you?" He looked at me, a little confused; I just hope he believes me. "Ven, I need to tell you the truth about me. I know what's going to happen in the future."

"Wait, so you knew about Terra leaving?"

"Yeah, I know many things that'll happen but something isn't right. I wasn't meant to be apart of this." I looked down at my feet, a little ashamed that I hid this fro him. "I'm only meant to be a silent observer but something's changing and I need to find out what. I just wanted to get to know you and the others for a long time now but I don't want to keep hiding."

"Are you going to bring me back?" Ven asked, looking a little scared

"What? No, I'm not going to mess with what you want." I said looking shocked he would even think that. "Ven, you're my friend and I'm never going to get in your way of something like this. I came with you so that I can help you; I just wish I could have told you and the others sooner. Master Eraqus told me to wait till after the Mark of Mastery though."

"Do Aqua and Terra know about this?"

"I know Aqua knows the truth now but I'm not sure if Terra knows yet. Still, I got a feeling that someone's going to tell him though I don't like who it might be and I don't know how much they'll twist the truth." I said and bowed in apology. "Sorry I didn't tell you sooner Ven. I guess I'm not really a good friend."

"No, I'm sure you had a reason." Ven said and I looked up at him as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm just glad you told me so don't be sad; I'm not mad at you. You told me right when you were able and that means a lot." I just stared at him for a second but smiled. I guess this is why I like Ventus so much; he is a very nice guy.

"Thanks Ven, from now on I won't hide things unless I need to."

"Okay." We jumped down to the mine entrance but we were greeted by some unwanted guest; the Unversed. "What the, what are these things?"

"They're called Unversed, negative feelings in monster form." I said as we fought the Unversed. When we finished with fight Ven turned to me looking a bit worried.

"Anna, were you sent to get rid of the Unversed?"

"That, protect the princesses of heart, and finding Master Xehanort but, I sure hope I don't." I said with a shudder. "He gives me the creeps; I think it's better for the world that he stays lost. I mean, if you look him in the eye you just see evil. You can almost hear them scream that word." Ven just laughed as I pretended to have a little freak out moment.

"Anyway, lets go see if those little men have seen Terra." I nodded and followed him into the mine. In the original movie, they didn't show much of the mine but in the game it wasn't that hard to map. Still, I couldn't help but laugh at Doppy when he was having a hard time using the pickaxe. Well, in the quiet confines of the entrance to the mine, my laugh wasn't hard to miss. Doc turned and saw Ven and me standing there and he was very surprised to find someone else other than his fellow dwarfs there.

"What, who are you?"

"I'm Ventus but call me Ven and this is my friend Anna." Ven introduced us as I gave a friendly bow to Doc.

"Diamond thieves, take cover, ya fools!" Grumpy yelled causing an absolute uproar. The dwarfs began running around like crazy and poor Doppy, who didn't seem to know what was going on, ran into the wall. Ven and I looked at each other, guilty that we may have caused a bad first impression. Really though, it was Grumpy who caused a massive mountain out of a mole hole.

"We're sorry; we didn't mean to frighten you."

"Yeah, it was an accident."

"You didn't?" Happy asked not certain if we really meant it.

"You mean, you're not here for our diamonds?" Sleepy asked with a small yawn.

"You know that isn't very nice to suspect someone to be a bad person just by their appearance." I said looking a bit offended. Did we really come off as diamond thieves? Ven and I didn't even look thuggish and since when did thieves wear bright colors like I do. "We're just looking for our friend Terra. He's about a foot and a half taller than me, dresses kind of like Ven here, and has spiky brown hair."

"Sounds like a tall tale to me! Go on, git!" Grumpy screeched at us causing Ven to look startled. I remember now why Grumpy was my least favorite among the dwarfs; he's like a woman on menopause

"We don't know any Terra." Bashful said and Ven really looked upset.

"Please, could you come over here?" Ven asked. He wasn't use to a situation like this, being cooped up in the castle at the Land of Departure for so long. "We just want to talk."

"Don't fall for it! Stay where ya are!" Grumpy ordered the other dwarfs. I know for a fact that Doc is the real leader of the dwarfs but he seems to be really spineless if Grumpy is calling all the shots.

"Alright, then we'll do this the hard way." Ven said running after the dwarfs into the mine.

"Ven wait a minute!" I yelled after him but he was gone. Going after them like that will only make them more afraid of Ven and me. Still, this was part of the plot so I just went with it, following Ven into the mine to look for the six dwarfs. Doppy just stood where he fell and didn't do much. I get inside the mines to see Ven standing there at the fork in the road.

"Which way do we go?"

"Let's split up?" I said as Ven looked at me a little confused. "This part of the mines is just one big circle. If we go different directions, we'll meet halfway."

"Right," Ven said with a slight nod, "I'll go to the left and you go to the right."

"'kay." I said with a nod and we ran off in our different directions. It didn't take me long to find the first one when I entered a clearing. There were these crates around and one of them was hoping with a loud sneeze giving away its owner. "I'm real sorry about this." I said as I ran up to it and slashed it open with my keyblade to reveal Sneezy. "Sorry about all this. Are you alright?"

"My hay fever!" The poor dwarf said as Unversed Floods began to appear.

"Um… we need to get out of here." I said a little worried about the dwarf's safety.

"I gotta… I gotta.. hold on… hold on… careful!" Sneezy was clearly more worried about his powerful sneeze building up than the Unversed. After watching and owning the movie since I was a small child, I know how powerful the sneeze can be so I jumped behind him as the Unversed began to approach us. Then with the power of a short but powerful storm, Sneezy gave such a powerful sneeze that blew away and destroyed the Floods. "Ah, that's much better." I couldn't help but stare at where the Floods stood. And here I thought I had a loud sneeze.

"Are you alright now?" I asked, kindly to the dwarf.

"Oh yes, it was dusty in there." Sneezy said with a slight sniffle. "Why would you care, you're a diamond thief?"

"I'm not." I said shaking my head. "My friend and I are just looking for our friend, Terra."

"Sorry but I don't know anyone with that name." Sneezy said and I gave a sigh, I knew he wouldn't but it was still slightly depressing.

"Okay, sorry for all the trouble." I said looking around. "You'd better head back, there might be more monsters around."

"Okay and thank you Miss." Sneezy said and ran back to the mine entrance. I looked to the opposite end of the clearing to see another group of crates and decided to take my chances.

"Please, I don't want to fight. I just want to talk." I said to the crates, hoping that a sensible dwarf hid there. "You see, my friend Ven is really worried about Terra. Something's wrong and Terra's like a brother to him and he kind of ran away from home. We really don't mean any harm." To my surprise, a crate in the very middle lifted up and Doc came out looking up at me.

"We haven't tet any merra- uh, met any Terra. And we'd know if a stranger was around." Doc said, as I looked a bit sad, he still didn't believe us. But then he gave a sigh and smiled. "Well, you don't look like a diamond thief and you seem to really care about your friend Terra."

"Thank you but you have to get to the entrance of the mines. Those creatures are dangerous and it's not safe to stick around too long."

"Are you sure, you'll be alright my dear?" Doc asked as I nodded.

"I'll be fine, I've got the only weapon that can stop those things."

"Very well, lood guck… I mean good luck." Doc said and ran to meet with Sneezy and whatever dwarfs Ven found. I just hope right now that if Ven does find Grumpy that Grumpy will at least try to be nice with all the Unversed around. A sudden snore broke my thoughts and I turned to see a crate pile and the one closest to me was shaking slightly. I kneeled down and lifted the crate to see Sleepy there taking a nap. I should have known, I shook him slightly and he looked up at me.

"Oh, morning already?" He yawned, getting up.

"Not exactly and I'm not here for your diamonds." I said as he nodded.

"Okay, can I go back to sleep now?" I couldn't help but giggle. But the Unversed didn't find it funny because they began to surround us. "Uh oh. What do we do?"

"I guess we'll have to take the shortcut." I said picking him up and making a run to the exit, fighting my way through the mob of Unversed in front of me. I didn't stop till we got to the entrance to the mines seeing the other dwarfs were there, well except for Grumpy. "We should be safe here."

"Thank you Miss." Sleepy said as I placed him down gentle.

"Hey, but me down ya diamond thief!"

"Don't kick me!" I turned to see Ven carrying a struggling Grumpy; Ven looking a bit more beaten than Grumpy.

"I said let go!" At this Grumpy kicked Ventus in the face and jumped out of Ven's hold and hit the ground. "See, can't trust 'em one bit!"

"Come on." Ven said exasperatedly, I'm sure he was getting really tired of us being called thieves. "We're telling you, we're no thieves."

"Ha, that's what they all say." Grumpy said as I placed my hands on my hips. Some of the dwarfs seemed to agree with us that we weren't thieves after saving them from the Unversed though so that's something. "Well, we're on to the both of ya!"

"Honestly, we're not thieves; we're just kids!" I said getting really impatient. Honestly, this dwarf is worse than my crazy aunt! "If you want us to leave so badly we will. Let's go, Ven."

"Okay." Ven said looking a little disappointed as we walked to the mine exit. I really didn't want to talk to Grumpy; he's so annoying! The moment I get back home, I'm gonna play my 'Snow White' movie and laugh at Grumpy when he's forced to bathe. "Oh but," I looked to see Ven facing the dwarfs again, "can you tell us where I can find some other people around here?"

"Yeah, at least you can tell us that much." I said turning around to face the dwarfs myself.

"There's a castle beyond the chorus- I mean, the forest." At least he's nice but then again, all the other dwarfs were better than Grumpy when it came to certain things.

"Got it, well; thanks." Ven said as I nodded.

"And thank you for saving us Miss." Sneezy said and I smiled and waved to them.

"At least a few of them are nice." I whispered to Ven as we walked out.

"I think they were just being protective is all." Ven said as crossed my arms.

"Yeah but they don't even know why they dig them for. At least the ones I helped were nice; Grumpy had no right to kick you." I said as Ven shrugged. At this point we couldn't talk much because as we made our way away from the mine, the Unversed appeared and we had to continue fighting again.

Fighting them made me remember the first time I ever saw a heartless. I was about ten years old and it was Chinese New Year. I didn't play since my cousins had the controllers and weren't sharing but I remember how quickly the heartless would keep popping up and it both creeped and annoyed me.

"When will they stop popping up everywhere?" I yelled as Ven stared at me, I bet I terrified him with my sudden out burst. "Sorry Ventus, it's just these Unversed are so annoying, can't they just stop popping out of nowhere like weeds?" Ven just laughed at me after I explained myself and it made me feel better to see him laugh. He's like the little bother I've always wanted and I'm so glad I decided to travel with him than Terra and Aqua. Its not that they're not fun to be around, believe me we have a lot of good times, I just like being with Ventus more.

Still, I was so glad to see the dwarf's cottage come into view. In the movie, it was so cute and I just loved watching scenes at the cottage even when the evil queen came. Ven went up to look in through the window to see what was inside. "This must be where those little men live."

"Well, it is their size after all. It would be hard for them to live at the Land of Departure." I said trying not to laugh at the thought of Doppy trying to get up on a chair back at the world we just left. Suddenly a shrill scream came from the distance causing me to jump slightly. The one thing I don't like about Snow White was her shrill, high-pitched voice but was better than others who tried to imitate her.

"There!" Ven looked to the dark forest and I hesitated slightly. Okay, I don't like to talk about it but I'm scared of the dark or rather of what is in the darkness. Ven turned to look at me with a raised eyebrow. "Come on Anna, someone needs our help!"

"I know, it's just, I don't like dark places." Ven stared at me as I looked away a little embarrassed.

"I didn't know you were scared of the dark."

"I'm scared of what's in the darkness, okay!" I yelled back. My face turned really red at this, that was really embarrassing. Ven just smiled at me and took my hand.

"Don't worry; I'll be there with you. I'll make sure of it." For a second, I was reminded of Roxas but shook my head. It was because of Ventus that Roxas looked the way he does. I smiled and gripped his hand too.

"Thanks Ventus, that really means a lot." Ven just smiled and we ran into the forest. Being in the same forest that Snow White had a metal and emotional breakdown was a little weird. Sure she was scared for her life when entering this forest and thought things were after her but I couldn't see anything that would look remotely scary. Then again, fighting against the Unversed and the other monsters soon to come I'm gonna need the backbone. Soon we reached the edge of the forest, which didn't take very long either and saw Snow White, sitting on the ground, crying her eyes out.

"What's wrong?" Ven asked as I went to kneel in front of her while she wept in her hands.

"These horrible trees, they tried to grab me." She sobbed and I couldn't help but smile. I remember when I was younger and I went to my mom crying saying monsters were after me when it was really my cousins that were playing a mean prank so I can sympathize with her. Not only that, Snow White is also one of the princess of heart so she was very innocent. I can even feel the light within her heart as I stood in front of her. I placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and she looked up at me.

"It's okay. You were just imagining things. That happens to the best of us when we're scared and afraid." She looked to Ven and me with a smile as we held out a hand to help her up, which she took.

"Oh, thank you; I feel quite better now." Snow White said as I nodded. "I'm sure I'll get along some how."

"If that happens again, just hum a song or something; that usually helps when I get scared." She nodded giving me a warm smile.

"Thank you, I'm sure to try that some time." Snow White said but suddenly looked distressed. "But I do need a place to sleep at night. Would you know anywhere I might?"

"Well, we saw a house just up ahead." Ven offered and I nodded.

"I think that's a good place to stay for the time being." I said as Snow White looked at me. "We can take you there if you'd like. I'm Anna by the way."

"And I'm Ventus, Ven for short."

"Yes, thank you very much Anna, Ven. My name's Snow White." Snow White said, pleased to meet some new friends after being scared for her life.

"Great, let's get going!" Ven said turning to leave but I stayed by Snow White's side.

"Don't worry, if anything comes out, I'll do my best to help." I said as Snow White took my hand.

"Thank you Anna. I'm glad I got to meet you and Ven." I nodded and we led her back to the dwarf's cottage. As we passed by a couple of tress, they suddenly came to life and some Unversed appeared.

"I'll take care of the Unversed. You stay here and protect Snow White."

"Right." I nodded as Ventus ran off to fight the Unversed. Of course, some of the Unversed managed to slip pass Ven and I stepped in, moving away from Snow White so she wouldn't get hurt.

"Help me!" I turned and to see Snow White being attacked by a monster tree. That's something I don't get, how did the tress come to life? Still, I couldn't let Snow White get hurt.

"Get down!" Snow White ducked as I aimed a fire spell at it. But instead of shooting out a fireball, the Lunar Wish shot out a blast of light that hit the tree and it turned back to normal. Okay, I've played this game a lot and I'm certain that you have to be in front of Snow White to do something like that and they keyblade is supposed to be held up in the air. What the heck did I do? "Are you alright?" I asked, helping Snow White up.

"Yes, thank you for saving me." Snow White said, smiling. Snow White isn't my favorite princess but she's still a nice person.

"Heads up, Anna! We've got more!" I turned to see he was right. The entire area was filled with Unversed and monster trees.

"Damn, don't these things stay down?" I yelled, aiming a blizzard spell at the oncoming trees and Unversed but again it turned into light and shot at the monsters and instantly killed them. I stared in surprise as this move took out half of the Unversed and all the trees. Still, it didn't take long to finish off the rest of the Unversed with Ven's help but when that all ended he stared at me.

"How did you do that?"

"How should I know?" I asked, shrugging.

"Still, you've done a wonderful job." Snow White said, looking happy for me but we continued on our way. We soon arrived at the cottage and walked in. I really made me wonder if the dwarfs were just over confident that no one would enter the cottage while they were in the mines or maybe Doppy forgot to lock the door because we didn't need to use our keyblades to unlock the door.

"I'm sure you'll be safe here." Ven said turning to Snow White who looked really pleased at this.

"We'll take a look around to make sure the coast is clear so you can get comfortable." I said as Snow White nodded. Ven and I ran off to search around the cottage and in the near by forest. For some reason, the number of Unversed fell dramatically to the point they were almost like they were running away. 'Must mean it's almost boss time.' I thought as we walked back to the cottage.

"The coast is clear!" Ven called as we got into the cottage. "Not a monster in sight."

"Um, Ven." He looked to me and I pointed at the dwarfs that were surrounding Snow White. Recognizing us, Grumpy got in front of us looking as angry as ever. It was like back at the mines but this time they were defensive over Snow White rather than diamonds.

"Couldn't stay away, could'ja?" Grumpy barked as he and the other dwarfs glared at us, well minus Doppy. "An' who invited you in, ya rotten thieves?"

"How many times do we have to tell you, we're not thieves?" Now I know how Hayner felt when people accused him and his friends of stealing. All that work to stop them saying we were thieves went down the drain.

"Oh no, they're not thieves. They rescued me." Snow White interjected and I felt very happy to have someone on our side.

"You fussn't be mooled- uh, mustn't be fooled by them, princess." Doc said as I shook my head.

"Go on, git!" Grumpy yelled at us and we looked at each other. This is truly déjà vu.

"Please don't send them away." Snow White begged the dwarfs. "You see, they helped me when I was lost, and oh, so very frightened."

"What happened anyway?" I said crossing my arms though I already knew what she was going to say. "I mean, someone like you must know not to wonder around the forest by yourself."

"Yes but something happened." Snow White said looking at me. "I was picking flowers by the wood, and there was a stranger there. He had a sword but it was like a key and then these monsters came and. . . ." Well, the rest was self explanatory by this point.

"A sword like a key?" Ven said to himself and we looked at each other. "Terra!" I knew the truth but I didn't want to tell him that Snow White just imagined things while in front of the dwarfs, how was I to explain how I knew what really happened? Plus, they'd probably attack me for saying Snow White had jumped the gun. Still, worth a try.

"Ya mean this stranger saw ya and set his horde of evil demons after ya?" Doc asked, jumping to conclusions.

"Terra would do that!" Ven argued as I nodded.

"It must have been a miss understanding, I know for a fact that Terra can't summon monsters. We've known him for a long time." I added as the dwarfs and Snow White looked at us. Well, that's half a lie. I know Terra but not a very long time.

"Oh, of course. I'm sure he wouldn't." Snow White added kindly. "Not if he's someone who's your friend."

"Princess! You trustn't be so musting- er trusting." Doc said and he was really starting to get on my nerves.

"They're a-lyin'! Mark my words." Grumpy added and I lost my temper.

"You know what, you guys really need to stop looking at things negatively and start being nice." I said keeping my voice calm when inside I was starting a hurricane. "We'll prove that Terra didn't do it, let's go Ven." Ven nodded and we walked out of the cottage not looking back.

"Anna, Terra's innocent, right?" Ven asked once we got outside the cottage.

"Yeah but someone wanted him to hurt Snow White. Terra wanted to warn her but the Unversed came and scared her into the woods. Leaving Terra to fight the Unversed and he couldn't tell her what was wrong."

"Then why didn't you say anything?" Ven asked, a little angry at me.

"Ven, I really wanted to but if I did, things would have gotten out of hand." I said, trying to calm him down. "Besides, those dwarfs are too stubborn to believe me to begin with. They'd just say I made the story up." Ven still looked annoyed but we ran into the forest. We ran as fast as we could, well I tried to run fast; Ven should be in the track team at school. We ran into what seemed to be a giant Unversed tree and it didn't look very friendly.

"Back off!" Ventus yelled at the Unversed as we summoned our keyblades. I remember first fighting this monster on my PSP and it was really annoying. Now that I'm facing it in real life, it's not only annoying but a little scary. I don't like monsters, as a child I avoided monster movies like the plague and still do. "Anna, you know the future! What's its weakness?" Ven yelled as we kept dodging the attacks. We had to get passed the attacking branches, it's earthquake jumps, and the poison pits it shoots out. There really wasn't a way for us to get close enough to attack without getting thrown off or falling into a poison bit.

"Ven, use fire attacks!" I yelled, dodging a poison pit and jumping off the ground so I wouldn't get hurt from when the Unversed slammed into the ground. The game sure made it look easier.

"Why?"

"Because it's wood, Ven! Fire burns wood!" I yelled aiming a fire spell at the Unversed and it fell to the ground for a second. Ven, finally taking my advice, began shooting fireballs out like no tomorrow. I never knew that Ven was a pyromaniac until now; either that or this was his way of getting his anger out about what the dwarfs thought of Terra. There really wasn't much for me to do. The sheer power behind the fire attacks Ven sent out was enough to not only destroy the tree but near by trees were started to catch fire and I spent time trying to put them out. When the fight ended I stood behind Ven, a little worried. "Ven, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I guess I was just really angry and I didn't know where to put it." Ven said and I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Ven, you know Terra is innocent. That's all that should matter."

"How can you say that?" Ven asked, looking at me shocked and outraged.

"I don't like it either but we truly have no choice but to let them think what they want. We're not supposed to get involved with important things from other worlds." I said shaking my head and Ven seemed to notice that I was just as upset as him about Terra. I hated that the dwarfs just looked at things negatively and were quick to put the blame on someone who may be innocent. Ven nodded and smiled at me.

"Sorry Anna, I never thought how you felt about all of this." Ven said as I stared at him. "It must be hard to know things before anyone else and not being able to do anything about it."

"Yeah, you have no idea." I said with a sigh. Its times like this that makes me think being a Destiny Keeper is a very bad thing but then again. If I didn't let things happen the way they did and making sure it's done right, it may make Kingdom Hearts different and leaving me unprepared for what'll happen next.

"Well, if I ask you about the future you don't have to answer if you don't want to." Ven said with a smile. "I'm sure we'll be able to get through this some how." I smiled and took Ventus's hand.

"Thanks Ven, you're a good guy." Ven smiled and we ran out of the woods and into the flower field.

"Terra!" Ven called out, hoping Terra was still there but I bet he knew he wasn't there now. The scenery looked very peaceful and I'm now not surprised that Snow White would come to pick flowers there.

"Hey Anna, look at this." I looked to Ven and saw him holding a bright red apple, the poison apple.

"Ven, put that away now!" I screeched, panic filling me. If Ven took a bite out of it, who'll be the princess that wakes him up?

"What's wrong Anna?"

"That thing is dangerous!"

"What, this thing?" I nodded but then I saw something black out of the corner of my eye. We turned to see none other than the evil queen, disguised as the old hag, carrying a basket of apples. "Guess this must be hers." Ven said and walked up to the old witch before I could even stop him. I just walked behind him, staring at the apple. I wanted nothing more than to throw the apple away where it couldn't hurt anyone. "Excuse me, ma'am? You dropped this." Ven said as the old hag turned to face us as Ven held out the apple.

"Oh, why thank you, my pets." The evil queen cooed, taking the apple from Ven. "To tell the truth, I really don't know what I would have done without that."

"Huh?" I asked, pretending to be naïve about her plans but she just gave a dark chuckle.

"Haven't I seen those swords before?" She asked, not even looking at our keyblades.

"Terra has one, you know Terra?" Ven asked and I decided to keep quiet, She maybe a witch who depended on the magic mirror for guidance but she's no idiot. Not really anyway. I'm sure she wouldn't know what a human heart looks like since she doesn't usually get her hands dirty.

"Oh, yes, yes." She said in hushed tones. "That ruffian pointed one of those at me, asking about some 'Xehanort'. My poor heart nearly stopped." She added dramatically and I wanted so badly to turn her into a toad. How dare she lie like that!

"That doesn't sound like him at all." Ven said looking at his keyblade as I made mine disappear.

"You're right, I think you're lying lady." I said my hands on my hips. "Can you tell us where Terra went?"

"I'm sure I have no idea." The evil queen replied and I knew this was the truth. "Must you all menace a poor granny so?" Oh, how my list grew on things to do against this evil lady. She may hate being ugly and old but she's reaping it for all it's worth; still, she'll get what she deserves. Ven on the other hand, looked very shocked that she took it this way.

"What? No, we were just. . ." The evil queen didn't seem to care much at this point because she walked away before Ven could even finish his sentence. "Terra, what did you do?"

"Ven, it's obvious that old hag was lying to us." I said shaking my head. "I wouldn't trust her to hold my jacket, let alone give her point of view on something that happened."

"You think so, Anna?"

"I know so, besides, you know Terra really well seeing as you guys are best friends for years and I know that too because we're friends." Ven nodded as I took out my Wayfinder.

"We're an invincible team." I nodded and Ven smiled at me. "Thanks for cheering me up."

"Hey, that's what friends are for." I said; swing my arm over his shoulder as we laughed. Times like this make me forget what'll happen to poor Ven in the end and honestly I wish I can forget but I'm really glad I get to spend time with him. Ven smiled as we summoned our gliders and armor and flew off to the next world. Ven will have to face a lot of tough challenges and so will I but at least we can keep each other happy even in hard times. Maybe that's my place in this universe, helping Ventus get through all of this.

Crystalmaiden: I hope you liked it. See you next time. :)
