"Aqua, rest here for the night and set off for your journey at dawn. " Yen Sid's voice echoed from his chair. He was no longer looking their way direction.
But…
"A tired heart and body cannot go against the restless darkness without proper sleep. Mickey will take you to the lower floors where your sleep quarters will be, and by the time you arrive Ventus will already be there."
Aqua sighed, putting her charm back in her pocket. "Yes, thank you Master Yen Sid." She didn't want to seem disrespectful and she had not laid in a bed since Disney Town. After all Master Yen Sid did just give her very important advice.
"Come on Aqua!" shouted the blissful King as he waved his white gloved hand as if it silently said 'let's go' as he walked towards the exit. The young teenager stood up catching up to the three foot tall mouse. Mickey looked up at her smiling. "Last one there is a rotten egg!" he said taking ahead start down the spiral stairs.
"Not fair your majesty!"
Giggling at the thought of a race the young keyblade master began running down the steps as well; forgetting the problems of the present. Just for a brief moment. Like the old days back at their home world, remembering Ventus, Terra and her constantly challenging each other for fun. Back when all of them were Master Eraqus's apprentices.
"Last one there, has to do everybody's laundry for a whole week!" Ventus would say before taking ahead start before Aqua and Terra.
"You're on!" said Terra encouraging the friendly competition as he began chasing after the youngest apprentice. He always did try to strengthen himself.
Aqua would laugh at the two as she also took part of the race but knew better then to rush inside the Grand Hall. Master Eraqus would sometimes be waiting in there ready to scowl them for running in the hall. He would preach about how it would cause accidents if they did. So by the time she would reach the entry way she'd begin to walk inside and as expected both Ventus and Terra were stopped to be lectured by their Master. The nineteen year old would chuckle to herself, skipping to the Grand Hall, free from laundry for that week.
However this race with King Mickey at the Mysterious Tower, there were no advantages. She lost by only a few steps behind.
The mouse used his legs as support, trying to catch his breath. Both of them were standing near the white wooden door. "Good race! I almost thought I wasn't gonna make it there."
"It was close your majesty." She said wiping the sweat off her forehead.
"Oh no need for the formality Aqua, just call me Mickey." Mickey straightened himself offering out his white gloved hand.
"Okay, Mickey." Aqua smiled shaking the fellow keyblade wielder's hand with her own.
"Anyways, here's your room." He let go motioning his hand towards the door." Ven should be already inside."
"Thanks for everything, Mickey."
"Good Luck on your journey!" the black cute mouse waved, while walking towards the Tower's tangerine entrance doors.
She kept up her smile as she waved to her friend goodbye. Turning the golden door knob, to seeing a yellow circle shaped room. It had two different colored twin beds. One had a white blanket, blue sheets and a light brown pillow while the other had a light brown blanket, white sheets and a blue pillow. In between them was a medium sized dark brown night stand and on top of that was a cherry red 'S' shaped lamp. To the east of the room was an oval window that perfectly showed the sun setting on the horizon. Stepping in, into the corner less room, Aqua noticed at the west, the mini hallway that lead to the bathroom.
Ventus was resting safely on bed closest to the hallway so she jumped on the one closest to the window. She was exhausted. Aqua didn't bother changing her clothes just taking off her shoes and stockings would be enough. She liked the way the cold fresh sheets felt when she dipped her feet into a clean bed.
Aaah… She thought covering her legs with the light brown blanket as she squeezed her baby blue pillow. The interior here is so strange. The tired keyblade master pulled out precious her star shaped charm and placed it on the night stand. She turned the switch off the lamp and faced towards the other twin bed that held her friend.
"Goodnight Ventus." She whispered shutting her eyes. I hope you wake up soon. A small tear fell down her cheek.
Hours had passed as the full moon crept its way to the window. The moonlight lit up the room but Ventus and Aqua sleep unbothered though it didn't stop the girl from tossing and turning in the bed. On the nightshade rested the gemed charm. It shook a little whenever Aqua accidentally hit her had on the side of it as she moved around the bed restlessly.
"Ven..." she mumbled in her sleep knocking her hand once again across the night stand. It caused the blue charm to tumble on the floor where the moon light could not hit.
"…Ven…" She repeated while squinting her closed eyes and turning over on her back.
The magical charm began to secrete darkness from the center of the star.
"…Ventus…" Aqua said faintly.
A dark transparent shadow with red glowing eyes loomed over her as it eerily chuckled.
She finally became still and began dreaming of home…
