Moments upon moments passed as I waited for Sora to come, to save my dammed soul. I needed to find Xehanort, kill him, and avenge my three friends. Then I would do the same to Xemnas. None of the heartless were coming and no black coats, so I was lonely for all of this time, just thinking to myself.

"Aqua!" Mickey jumped onto me and hugged my body tightly, and I smiled. When I looked toward the sea, I noticed that there was a door to light. He really did come to find me. "Oh, Aqua, this here is Riku." The boy he pointed at had short, grey hair, pale skin, and greenish-blue eyes. Then I saw Ventus running through, awake, meaning I never fulfilled my promise.

"Ventus." He squeezed the life out of me like Tanith did. It was not even a day since she perished, but I missed her smile. That smile that raised my hopes in this literal hell. To return the favor, I patted him on the head. He looked exactly the same unlike me, and right then he acted the same as well. "I'm so glad that you're here."

"Thanks Aqua for everything, but we've to go. Terra's still out there and we've to save him."

"Wait, I want to do something before that."

After awhile, I finished Tanith's grave. It read let us remember Tanith, the girl I loved. I smiled at all the memories of us together, for Tanith would have hated it if I dwelled on her death. "Now, Tanith, I'm going to find Terra and then defeat Xehanort. Then I shall pay for what he did to you, an innocent girl.

When I crossed the door, I realized that two teenagers were there, one a brunette boy and a redhead like Tanith. "Hey, Aqua, I'm Sora, and this over here is Kairi. I'm glad we finally get to meet you."

"You know what, Sora, you're the person that will save us all. Even the ones we lost forever, can be saved with your radiant light. You're the one who will open the door after all..." Then I passed out, and everybody freaked out. I could teach because I had my eyes opened for just a few more seconds. My vision then turned to black.

"Hey, Aqua," said Tanith, her voice high pitched as always. Master Eraqus stood next to her. The two people were smiling.

"Remember, don't let wrath cloud your judgement."

"Then you wouldn't be the person I loved anymore." Then, both of them disappeared from the dream, still smiling, but I let them. No matter what, those two would remain a part of my memories. Even if the memories faded, they would still be a part of my heartless, immortalized.

"Both of you are right, but I'm still going to watch Xehanort die. Sora will actually deal the last blow though.

Years after the Keyblade War, I opened a cake and nut shop with Terra. Ventus was busy completing his final year of college to really concern himself with him. "Mr. and Mrs. Gallus." Lea then walked into the shop. "Um...how's the baby coming along?" I look down to see my baby belly and laughed.

"Alright, thanks for asking Lea." Since we both lost Tanith, both of us bonded over the last couple of years about our memories of her. Not all of his stories painted her in a bright light, but I did not mind. "I'm just hoping she doesn't get Terra's decision-making skills or sense of fashion."

"I take offense to t-"

"Anyways, I forgot what you were going to name her. I seriously have no idea."

"Nova, Nova is going to be her name," I responded. Tanith told me one day that she loved the name Nova, so I decided to name my baby that. If Tanith was still alive, I wondered what she would think about that.
