Hello again. I'm sure you're wondering what ever happen to Cecelia. Well, here's a little bit of what she did. Enjoy.

Meanwhile… Thousands of miles away from Nome…

It didn't take Cecelia long to find a couple of subordinates and a fortress. She was sitting on a big long chair, messing with her short green hair. Then, one of her subordinates came in. When ever they have to talk to her. The subordinates have to call her "Queen Cecelia."

"Um, Queen Cecelia?" said one of her subordinate, "It appears that the Heartless have been defeated."

Cecelia got up from her chair.

"Really? By who?"She asked.

"The Keyblade Master and a mutt." said the man.

Cecelia thought for a moment.

"You mean Sora?"She asked the man with silver long hair.

"Yes your majesty."

"And what do you mean 'a mutt'?" Cecelia asked.

"The hero mutt, Balto, helped him stopped the Heartless."

Cecelia couldn't believe it.

"So he followed meback in time." She said, "It appears that I underestimated him."

"So, what do we do?" the man asked.

"We do nothing, Dmitri." Cecelia said, "We'll stick with the plan."

"Right." Dmitri said, "I'll go and retrieve the snow crystals from the wolf packs that are far off from Alaska, and finish off any of them that gets in my way."

"Couldn't said it better myself." Cecelia said.

Dmitri gave out a cruel smile.

"But what about the Keyblade Master?" He asked.

"Oh, don't worry about him." Cecelia said, "He doesn't know what our plan is. And by the time he dose, it'll be too late."

Cecelia and Dmitri gave out cold loud laughs.

Back in Nome

"...and that's the whole story." Sora said.

Nobody spoke after he finish. It seemed so unbelievable.

"So you were sent back in time, to go after this Cecelia that is planning to take over?" Balto said.

"Yeah, that's it." Sora said.

"But where is she?" Jenna asked.

"That's the thing." Sora said, "I don't know where she's at. Or why she came back to this time. But whatever it is, she's up to no good. There must be something she needs. But I don't know what it is or where to start looking.

Balto thought for a minuet.

"I got it." He said.

"What is it dad?" Kodi asked.

"I think Nava should know." Balto said.

"Who?" Sora asked.

"Nava" Balto repeated, "He wasa leader of a wolf-pack I met two years ago. He also has these powers of communicating to the forest. So he should be able to know what Cecelia is looking for."

"That's a great idea." Jenna said.

"Yeah tomorrow, Sora and I can go out to the forest and look for him. And stop this Cecelia from taking over." Balto said.

"You're gonna come with me?" Sora asked.

"Of course." Balto said, "If it weren't for you, we would all be in grave danger. This is just my way of thanking you; we'll be partners for now on."

"No, not as partners." Sora said, "But as friends."

Balto felt surprised and grateful.

"Right, as friends." He said.

Ralph made a big yawn.

"If there isn't anything left to be said, I'm getting some shut eye." He said, lying down in a comfortable spot.

"Ralph's right; we should all get some sleep now." Balto said.

Balto and Jenna slept in the far back of the room. Kodi and Dusty slept on the second floor, next to the window. Kirby slept close to where Ralph is. Sora found an old blanket and used a bag of hay as a pillow.

"Good night guys." Sora said.

"Good night Sora." Everybody said.

Sora only manages to get two hours of sleep. It was still dark outside, but Sora couldn't really sleep. He was staring at the wooden ceiling, thinking of what Donald and Goofy were doing without him. But most important, he kept thinking about Kairi. It wasn't long ago, that Kairi gave Sora her lucky charm, Sora promise that he'd return home to Destiny Island, along with the lucky charm. He still had to look for Riku and King Mickey.

The last time he seen them was when he had to close Kingdom Hearts, while Riku and King Mickey were on the other side. Sora, Donald, and Goofy followed the trail to where Riku and King Mickey went. The rest was all a blur to Sora. He remembered waking up in some sort of machine, along with Donald and Goofy. A blond-haired girl that sort of resembles Kairi appeared. She said that her name is Nanmine and that machine they were in was to get their memories back. After saying thank-you, Sora, Donald, and Goofy went back to Travers Town to go to Merlin's to see if Sora still has his magic.

There was a loud snore. Sora sat up and saw that it was Ralph. Then, he heard Kodi talking in his sleep. Hang in there guys, we're almost there. He kept saying. Sora laughed and looked around the room. He saw Jenna sleeping but not Balto. In fact, Balto isn't even there. Sora looked and saw that the door was open. He got up and walked outside. Balto was sitting outside, staring at the moon.

"Hey, Balto." Sora said.

Balto looked at him.

"Oh, hi Sora, what are you doing up this early?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Sora said.

"Oh, I'm just out here incase those Heartless came." Balto said, "And I was thinking about something."

"About what?" Sora asked, sitting next to Balto.

"Just something." Balto said.

Sora could tell it was something important, but he didn't want to force Balto into saying it.

"Anyways, why are you up?" Balto asked, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, I couldn't sleep." Sora said, "I kept thinking about my friends."

"I see..." Balto said, "They must be worried about you too."

"Yeah." Sora said.

They didn't talk for while, then finally.

"Sora?" Balto asked.

"Yeah?" Sora said.

"I've been thinking...when you told us all of your adventures you had." Balto said, "I couldn't believe how amazing they were and what you've done. I think you're more of a hero than me."

Sora grinned at Balto.

"Well, I've had alot of help." He said."If it wasn't for my friends, I don't think I could've done it."

"Yeah." Balto said, "Just like if it weren't forBoris, Muk, Luk, and Jenna, I wouldn't get the medicine back to Nome, at all."

"We even help eachotherget rid of the Heartless." Sora said.

Balto nodded.

"I think we should try to get some sleep now."He said, "We've got a big day tomorrow."

"Yeah, you're right." Sora said.

They both walked back into the Old Mill, said good night to eachother and went to sleep.

End of Chapter. Sorry I didn't say that much about Cecelia. I just didn't want to put what her plan is yet. Next Chapter, Sora is going to see the little girland her parents again. And he's going to see what a dog-sled team is. Please review.
