Chapter 12: Over?
Time of Day: ?
Weather: Foggy
Place: The Velvet Room
I sit alone in the Velvet Room. It sort of make sense considering they've talked about the bond Kairi and I made. It makes me think, how am I going stop Kairi from being angry at me?
I look at the table where Igor usually has some cards spread. A thick grey-leather bound book and a blue envelope sit silently on top of it. Of course it's blue, everything in the stupid room is blue. I open up the envelope and see it's from Margaret.
"If you're reading this Sora, it means we're not here right now." No duh. Come to think of it, haven't they left a note like this for me before? Do they have templates for these things?
"What we are doing does not concern you. For now, you should just look at my Compendium. It may intrigue you. Once you are done looking through the pages, you'll leave when the Room sees fit"
When the room sees fit? Does this place have a consciousness or something?
I pick up the book and start flipping through the pages. The pictures of the people I've made bonds with, as Margaret and Igor have called it, are all moving. What's even cooler is all of the Personas I can apparently use. There are tons, like a giant 8 headed dragon, a giant blue genie, a short woman in red queen-like clothing that for some reason is holding a green flamingo.
Once I finish flipping through most of the pages, I put the book back on the table. As if it were just scripted, darkness begins to shroud my eyes and the Velvet room starts to fade away.

Time of Day: Noon
Weather: Cloudy
Place: Yuffie's House
"Dammit!" Riku slams his fist into one of Yuffie's many punching bags. "I thought the people killed were limited to the people shown on TV!"
Our teacher, Vexen, was found dead last night. He was found the same way as the first two victims, tied to a Paopu Tree. We decided to go to Yuffie's house because her parents weren't home. That way we could talk without being conscious of eavesdroppers.
"He didn't even show up on the Midnight Reflection," Namine says.
"I thought we had figured some big stuff out, but maybe it was just a coincidence." Yuffie sighs. "Maybe the murders aren't even related to the Reflection."
I shake my head in disagreement. "No, that can't be it…"
"Then how come Vexen is dead?!" Roxas asks rather forcefully.
"I don't know!" The room silences at my outburst.
Roxas exhales. "Sorry Sora. Sort of lost my cool for a minute."
"Maybe this time we should just leave it to the cops," Namine says.
"But I thought we were doing this because it was above what the cops could do?" Riku asks.
"Listen," I stand up from the floor. "What we know is that Vexen is dead, and he never showed up in the Reflection. But that doesn't mean we should just give up."
Everyone nods in agreement.
At the same time, Roxas' phone start ringing the chorus of Barbie Girl.
The rest of us are confused while Yuffie starts to snicker.
"Yeah dad?" Roxas groans. As the conversation continues, Roxas' eyes twitch and he starts to laugh awkwardly. "Uh, yeah. Okay. See you later."
"One, why the hell is that your ringtone, and two, what did your dad say that has you all weirded out?" I ask the mortified Roxas
Roxas takes a deep breath. "For the first one, I lost a bet with Yuffie, and now I have to have this ringtone for a week. For the second one," Roxas gulps. "Donald is currently at Moogle Co, hogging the massage chairs."
Time of Day: Afternoon
Weather: Cloudy
Place: Moogle Co.
Once we got Donald off of the chairs, we went to the food court to get some answers out of him.
I slam my hand on the table and shine my phone on his face. "First question!"
"Sora, what's the point of shining the phone at his face if it's bright out?" Riku asks.
"Don't question my methods rookie!" After imitating a drunk Zack, I avert my attention back to Donald. "Anyway, how'd you get into our world?"
"I took the same way you guys leave," Donald says. "Why would I go through any other way? I wouldn't know where I would end up!"
"Okay then, onto question 2!" I lean closer to Donald so no one outside our group hears us. "Did you sense anyone enter your world?"
"No, not that I know of. If I sensed anyone, I would have stopped getting my body back to the way it was and see where it was headed."
"So Vexen really didn't go into the Mirror World." Namine's face goes to that of deep thought. "That must mean the killer murdered him here so we couldn't stop him."
"It makes sense considering we've saved 3 people in a row," Roxas says. "It's like they say, if you want something done right, do it yourself."
As we talk about any other possibilities of how come Vexen was killed, Donald wipes the sweat off of his brow. "Phew! It's hot here! I'm takin' this thing off!" He begins to undo his his large cartoony zipper around his belly.
"No, you can't!" Yuffie tackles him and pulls Donald's hands. "We can't let the kids here see you without your upper body! You'd be all empty inside!"
"But I'm not empty anymore!" Donald miraculously shoves Yuffie off of him and fully unzips. His upper body pops off, and out comes a boy around our age in a white and blue striped shirt and brown pants. He has blue eyes and blonde colored hair.
Wut?
"Donald, did you grow a body by doing sit ups?" I ask him.
"Yes. Yes I did!" He replies triumphantly. "Little bit of magic from my Persona helped too!"
After awhile of questioning Donald, Usagi walks up to us. I brought her here so she could go grocery shopping. It may have been irresponsible, but she's done this before according to Zack, so I let her go on alone while we questioned Donald.
"Hey Usagi, what's up?"
"Can you help me get some stuff please?" She asks.
"Yeah, sure." I turn to my friends. "I'm just going to handle this quickly, okay?"
"Go on ahead," Yuffie says. "We'll deal with this for now."
"So, what did you need my help for?"
"Can you get these things please?" She hands me a short grocery list with doodles of food drawn on it. It's got bread, eggs, and some of the things you'd normally find on a shopping list. "I can get these other things." She shows me her own list.
"Okay. Are you sure you can a basket full of food?"
"Yup!" She pats her biceps. "I'm strong!"
I laugh. "Okay then, I'll be off."
I head off to get the bread and once it's retrieved, I start walking to find Usagi. Once I find her, I see a fear stricken Usagi, trembling before a guy towering over her.
I run over to her direction, and turn the guy around by grabbing his shoulder.
"And what exactly are you doing to my cousin?" I ask him.
The guy scowls at me. He's a little bit on the chubby side, has headband holding his spiky hair up, and a red shirt that spelled DOG STREET on the side.
He scowls at me and starts to walk off grumbling and talking to himself.
I kneel down and put my hands on Usagi's shoulders. "Are you okay? What did he do to you?"
"I'm okay, and I think he wanted the milk I was holding." She stares at the gallon of whole milk. "It was the last one."
Is she saying that guy got angry over milk? What's with some people these days?!
I continue to gather all of the groceries with Usagi. Once we paid for everything we started to walk home together.
Time of Day: Afternoon
Weather: Cloudy
Place: Destiny Island Streets
"Hey guys!" Donald waves at Usagi and I. He has some Sea Salt Ice Cream in his hand.
"Who said you could get ice cream without us?" I ask.
"Sorry, we just had to shut Donald up so we could get some quiet," Riku tells me. "His curiosity is a bitc-" He notices Usagi and stutters. "Bit too annoying." I give him a thumbs up for not swearing in front of my younger cousin.
"Do you two want some ice cream?" Namine asks Usagi. "I'd be happy to get some for you!"
Usagi tugs my arm. "Is it okay?"
"Yeah, sure. You like the Spark Lemon flavor, right?" Usagi nods her head. "Okay then, go on with Namine. Can you just get me a Royalberry on a cone please?"
"Sure!" Namine nods. "C'mon Usagi, let's get you some ice cream!" Usagi follows the blonde with a large smile.
I walk over to Yuffie sitting on a bench. "So, did I miss anything when you investigated Donald?"
"Not really," she tells me. "What you heard is all that he told us."
"Yup, all I know is that no one has entered ever since you came last time." Donald licks his ice cream. "Also, before I forget." Donald takes a pair of red fashion glasses out of his pocket. "You need to give these to Kairi."
Oh yeah, Kairi. She's still pretty pissed at me. The fact that she's still angry even after 10 days baffles me. Everytime I think about it, I also think about what Margaret and Igor told me.
I take the glasses from him and stuff them in my pocket. "Yeah, I'll bring these to her later."
"Y'know, come to think of it, you two don't seem as close from when we first saved her," Roxas says. "What'd you do, bring her on a bad date?" He teases.
If only that were true. Did I forget to mention that I still haven't told anyone about the date Kairi and I had?
"Something like that," I say to myself. "Anyway, it's nothing really."
Roxas shrugs it off, but Yuffie glares at me. I feel like she's trying to read my emotions, so I sit down away from her and try to avoid her eyes.
After a minute of waiting, Usagi and Namine come back with our ice cream. Once we finish, Usagi decides to go back home, while I head toward Kairi's family bakery.
Time of Day: Afternoon
Weather: Cloudy
Place: Paopu Pastries
Once arriving at the bakery, I see someone unexpected. That guy with the black hat who was investigating Riku's mom.
He notices me. "Oh. It's you. What are you here for?" he asks. "Trying to win over Ms. Kujikawa this time?"
"Not that I want to completely dodge your question, but what's your name again?" I feel like knowledge of my messed up situation with Kairi should be limited to me as of now.
The boy scoffs. "It's Xion Shirogane. More specifically, Detective Xion Shirogane." Detective? At our age? "I'm here to help the police department find out the culprit behind the serial murder cases. Now if you could answer this question for me, I'll gladly be off."
It better not be about Kairi. Even I'm not telling a detective about my love life. "Okay, ask away."
"Why is that your teacher showed up dead, even though he never appeared on TV?"
How did he find out the whole TV thing? Okay, I'm just going to try to act calm and not freak out that he has the same lead we do. "Not really." Great answer Sora, it just screams "I'm toootally hiding something important!"
"Okay then." He starts to walk away. "I just want to finish this investigation ASAP. So expect me to keep an eye on suspicious things. You and your friends are around the top of my list."
Great. First Zack is suspicious, and now the Tiny Detective over here is too. It's getting harder and harder to keep this whole Persona secret, a secret.
I walk into the bakery and see Kairi behind the counter. "Welco- Oh, you." Hey, she said two and a half words to me! That's a great improvement after ten whole fucking days! Whenever I tried to talk to her she usually kept quiet the entire time.
I sigh. "Listen, I need to talk to you. Is anyone here who doesn't know about the Mirror World?"
"No," she ever so bluntly says.
"Still doing the whole hating me thing?"
She says nothing.
"Listen. I don't want you to be angry with me." I take out the glasses Donald gave me. "These glasses will help you see through the fog on the other side. Not only are they helpful, but they also signify the bond we have with each other and everyone else. You're a part of our group now."
Kairi takes the glasses and stuffs them in her purse.
"Listen. I want to be your friend Kairi. WE want to be your friends. We all have to trust each other so that we can work together and find out who the culprit is!" I back up, because I realize that I was way too close to Kairi's face.
Kairi's blushing face becomes less and less red. She then walks into the back of the bakery saying no words.
Day 10 of Operation: Get Kairi to Like You Again, failed.
I walk outside and sit down on a bench. At least there aren't any paparazzi around to see this. Townsfolk have also gotten used to the fact that Kairi is here. Lately they've been coming less, probably because they're not finding anything gossip-worthy about her.
Pretty ironic considering what's happening between right now.
I wanted to try to fix this myself, but now I know that I'm going to need some help.
I'm definitely not asking Roxas. He'd probably attempt to kill me for doing that to Kairi.
What about Riku? He seems chill enough. It's just that I don't know where he stands in terms of dating experience. From what it seems, he hasn't had a girlfriend before due to him acting like a loner and having the whole fear about being judged by people.
Namine maybe? I mean the girl can be an airhead sometimes, but she's capable of not being stupid… Except when she realizes she's being hit on by guys.
Yuffie seems to be my only option. I don't think she'd dated any guy before, but she did glare at me when Kairi was mentioned. She either can read emotions well, or she heard what I said to myself after Roxas asked me about Kairi.
I call Yuffie's cell and wait for her to pick up. It rings for a couple seconds, but she finally picks up. "Hey Sora, what's up?"
"Hey Yuffie. I need to talk to you about something important."
"Okayyy, what's so important? Is it about Kairi?"
"How the hell did you know?"
"Dude, I'm right down the street, to your left." I look toward my left and see Yuffie a couple blocks down waving at me. "Kairi's bakery is on the way to my house. And I could tell it was you, because no one in this town wears a porcupine for hair ."
"Oh."
"I also felt that something went wrong with you and Kairi when Roxas mentioned her."
"Dammit, you can read emotions!"
"Yup, I can!" I turn around and Yuffie appears behind me.
"How the hell-" I look toward my left and see no one there. "How did you do that when you were over there?"
"Ninjas never reveal their secrets," she says in a sing song voice.
"I'm pretty sure those are magicians."
"Whatever! Anyway, let's just go to my house so we can talk about your dating problems!"
Great.
Time of Day: Night
Weather: Sunny
Place: Yuffie's House
"Your mom seemed happy at the fact that you brought a guy home," I tell her.
"She's just acting like a mother," Yuffie says in an annoyed way. "So, you mind telling me what's up with you and Ms. Super Star have been up to?"
I sigh. "It's a long story, so prepare yourself." Yuffie nods her head and sits down. "About a week ago, Kairi and I went on a date."
"A date?"
"Not one of those cliches ones, okay?" I assure her. "She brought me to her old treehouse from when she was a kid."
"Mhmm, keep talking"
"We talked for a while, had some food, and then…"
"And then what?"
"I blacked out."
"What?"
"I was freaking out over what to do, and just blacked out!" I'm not sure if I should be telling her about the Velvet Room just yet. I'll just go one secret at a time for now.
"What are you, narcoleptic?!"
"If I was, you'd see me blacking out even more. Anyway, once I woke up, a few more words were exchanged between us, and then I called her my friend."
"What's so bad about that?"
"By the way she acted and how mad she is at me now, I can tell tell she had a thing for me."
Yuffie's mouth is wide open. "Then why didn't you get into a relationship with her!"
"I just feel like she should have a guy better than me. That and all of the Persona stuff is also a big thing that we have to deal with right now."
Yuffie stands up and shakes me by the shoulders. "Sora, you had the chance to get into a relationship with a super popular celebrity, and you let your stupid humility get in the way of that?!"
"That and the fact that I don't think I'm ready to deal with having a girlfriend yet."
Yuffie lets go of my shoulders and shakes her head. "This is why some guys are just idiots."
"Excuse me?"
"Some guys don't know how to take the initiative! If you see the opportunity, you go for it!" Yuffie exhales as she tries to calm down.
"Well can you tell this idiot some advice on how to deal with the situation?"
"My advice, huh? I've never dated, but you can probably trust me."
"Probably? Yuffie, you realize that is one of the words you should never use when giving advice."
"Shut up and listen. Anyway, you just need to beat her at her own game. Have you visited everyday and try to apologize?"
"Yes."
"Okay, that means she'll expect you to come everyday. Good 'ol Kairi here playing hard to get. She's getting all of the attention from you, while you get no twinge of emotion from her. She could also be sick of your face because of the stupid move you made."
"Does that means the best thing to do is stay away from her for a couple days?"
"Exactly. That way, she'll wonder why you haven't visited. Then she'll start to think about you when she least expects it. Like for example, you like the cinnamon buns at the bakery, right?"
"They're the metaphorical crack of my literal addiction to them."
"Well, Kairi is always around them, so she'd always think of you from time to time."
"Wow, that actually makes a little bit of sense."
"It makes a ton of sense, you just need to trust me on this!"
"Okay, I trust you. Is there anything else you have?"
Yuffie taps her chin. "Talk to her when something important happens that concerns the both of you."
"Okay now that makes sense." I sit down after pacing around the room for the entire time. "That's all you got?"
"Yup."
"Thanks for that." I breathe in and try to relax. "The load I had on my back feels a bit lighter now that someone else knows about my messed up love life."
"You're welcome." Yuffie laughs. "And trust me, I won't tell anyone. Not even Namine, and I tell her everything."
"Good. Anyway, I'm going to head off." I walk toward the door.
"Yeah, see ya later. And good luck." Yuffie give me a thumbs up.
I smile back at her. "Thanks."
After letting Yuffie in on this secret, I feel a bit closer to her than before.
July 11, 2015
Time of Day: Morning
Weather: Cloudy
Place: Destiny Island Streets
Me, Roxas, and Namine are walking around town just hanging out and heading to the train station to meet up with Yuffie. It's actually quite relaxing for once. We're trying not to talk about the investigation and just enjoy our summer until some new leads come up.
"Hey Namine." I turn around and see that same spiky haired guy who was hassling Usagi.
"Hey, you're the same guy from yesterday!" I say.
"Oh great, this guy again," Roxas says sarcastically. "He tried to ask Namine out for months. He actually stayed away for a while, so I thought he gave up."
"C'mon, let's ditch these guys have have some fun," the guy grabs Namine's wrist forcefully.
I shove him back, trying to do the job Yuffie normally has. "Back away from my friend!"
The guy scowls at me. "You back off! C'mon Namine, you're going to come with me. Right?"
Namine has a baffled look on her face. "Just who exactly are you?" Namine, y u so dum blonde? "Have we met before?"
"You've seriously written this guy out of your memory, haven't you?" Roxas asks.
The guy's face shows that his temper is rising. "Are you messing with me?! How dare you!"
"The hell's going on here?" I look toward my right, and Riku is walking towards us. "And what do you want with my friends?" Riku glares at the guy with his cold blue eyes.
The guy starts to back off slowly, and then breaks out into a run. "You idiots will regret this!"
July 20, 2015
Time of Day: Noon
Weather: Cloudy
Place: Moogle Co.- Food Court
"God, I hate summer homework." I slump onto the top of the huge as fuck summer packet we've been working on.
"I haven't even entered the school yet and they're making me do it." Kairi complains. "What's the point of taking any foreign languages if you can just use an online translator!"
"I don't think that's the point," Riku says wearily.
I'm still surprised Yuffie's plan worked. After a couple days of giving Kairi a break from me, I decided to text her to hang out with us. She hasn't said many words to me, but she is warming up to everyone. Hopefully soon, we'll be able to have a conversation that lasts longer than a minute.
What really surprises me is that Roxas hasn't taken like 50 selfies to prove that he hung out with a celebrity.
"Can I copy your grammar section now Namine?" Roxas asks.
"No, you can't." Namine tells the slothful Roxas. "And how many times have I told you, I'm not even done with it yet!"
"So how's Donald been doing Roxas?" Yuffie asks.
"Oh, he's over there." Roxas points lazily at Donald giving out balloons to kids. "He's been working here to earn his keep. The guy literally lives in my closet."
"So you got him in his regular getup, huh?" Riku rests his head on his fist.
Donald leaves the kids and comes walking toward us. "Hey guys! How's it going? If you're hunting studs again, I'm right here!"
Namine bangs the table. "Dammit Sora, why'd you have to make that stupid joke!" Earlier when I called everyone to come here so we could do homework, Namine said she might be busy. I then made a joke saying that she was out stud hunting like her Heartless.
Donald was next to me, so he's been joking about stud hunting for a while. At first it was mildly amusing, but now it's getting on my nerves.
"Sorry to disappoint Donald, but this is more like a group date than some sleazy pick up joint. There's even a girl for every guy. Riku is with Namine, I'm sadly with Yuffie, and Sora is with Kairi."
I look up toward Kairi and she's blushing, keeping her line of sight away from mine.
"Honestly Roxas, you really think there'd be a group date with you involved?" Yuffie asks.
"Yeah, and even if we tried to have one, Vexen would find out and start screaming at us about hormones and sexual predators," Roxas jokes.
"Yeah, he would do that." I smile. "Well, he would do that if he wasn't dead."
Everyone sighs. "He was an ass," Yuffie says bluntly.
"I didn't like him very much either," Namine says.
"But no one deserves to die like that." Riku raises his head.
"The Midnight Reflection hasn't been showing up lately, but I feel like we shouldn't give up on the investigation," Kairi says.
"Oh, I think you should," a smug voice interjects.
I turn around and see Xion. "They know who the culprit is now. You're done, let the police do their job from now on."
"They figured out who the murderer is?" I ask him. "Who is it?"
"Some guy named Pence," he says. "They wouldn't give me a last name, but the one thing I do know is that he's a high school student like we are. They'll be revealing the culprit soon enough, I'm sure."
"A high school student?!" I'm surprised other people knew about the Mirror World.
"You know what this means, right?" Xion asks. "The little game you were playing is now over."
I stand up from my chair. "It was never a game to begin with. It seems like you're the one treating this like some sort of puzzle, so aren't you the one playing the game?"
"We're not playing around," Roxas says. "I lost someone close to me because of this." Did Roxas forget Larxene barely tolerated him? "And besides, we a have a little promise to keep with our friend over there." Roxas points to Donald.
Donald smiles. "You really mean that Roxas?"
"You think I'm playing, huh?" Xion asks. "Maybe to a certain degree, I am.
"Tell me, what's a hotshot detective like you slumming here with us anyway?" Yuffie asks. "Did they find the killer without you and tell you to hit the road?"
"They haven't caught the killer yet," Xion reveals. "They just know who it is and are after him. Got it? It's sad that once they're through with me, I have to move on, but that' just the way it goes. I'm used to it."
"Yeah, whatever," Riku says.
"Well, I must be going now." Xion walks away and leaves the food court.
"So it's all really over?" Kairi asks.
"I dunno," Roxas says. "If what he says is really true, then maybe it is."
Doesn't this mean the investigation is over? But… Is our group over?
No no no no! This group can't be finished! What'll happen if it really is? Will we stop hanging out? Will we stop being friends? Will we all just go back our separate ways?
Will I be alone again?
"You okay Sora?" Riku asks. "You have a weird look on your face."
"Peachy," I tell him as I try to hide my panic. "Just peachy."
July 26, 2015
Time of Day: Noon
Weather: Sunny
Place: Destiny Islands- Public Park
All day I've been hearing gossip about about how the cops found out who the murderer is. I went to the park, because it seemed like the quietest place outside of my house. Sadly, it seems that what Xion said is true…
Sadly…
Sadly?
Why am I sad that they found out who was behind the serial killings? Isn't this a good thing, that a killer has been identified? Why can't I just be happy about it? I can be done with being in life threatening situations and live a normal life.
But I feel like the investigation has become something normal to think about for quite some time. If it just ends now, how long is it going to take me to get used to it? How fast will everyone else get over it?
"Hey." I look up and see Kairi. Her arms are crossed and she's got a slightly upset look on her face, with her lips pursed. She looks to the sky, as if trying to formulate her thoughts. She's tapping the ground with her left foot frantically.
"Hey."
"What's got you down?"
"It's nothing really."
Kairi sits down next to me. "Your face doesn't seem to be telling the same story."
"Great, now I know two people that can read my emotions." I sigh. "I'm just thinking about how everything is over now."
"Isn't that good that it's over?"
"Yeah, but…" I think for a moment. I have to get into the mind of Xion right now. As an ace detective, what would a person like him think about once a case is over? All he said was that the cops knew who it was, and they wouldn't tell him anything else…
He also said that it'd be a matter of time before they reveal who the killer was! Wouldn't they show him on TV? As an added plus, it's supposed to rain tonight.
I take out my phone. I start texting everyone in our group.
"What's got you so ecstatic?" Kairi asks.
"None of this is over just yet."
"How are you so sure?"
"I'm not. It's just a feeling that I had. If this is going to end, it's going to end with us meeting with the killer in the other world." Not only that, but I get one last memory with my friends if we really do split up! Hopefully I'm not freaking Kairi out though with my random- Holy shit.
For the first time in a month, Kairi was smiling at me. Come to think of it, this is the longest she's talked to me in forever.
"Why the smile?" I ask. "Because I certainly know why I may be."
"Because you seem to be happier than how you've been these past couple days."
"Am I now? Well I should be now that we have a good lead. Now we'll be able to truly stop the culprit!" I start running back to my house.
"Where are you going?" Kairi asks.
"I'm going home to watch some news!"
I look back at my phone as I run and send my message to my friends.
Not over yet!
Rain 2nite, check Reflection.
Solve dis case 4 seal!
DAMN YOU AUTOCORRECT!

Time of Day: Midnight
Weather: Rainy
Place: Dojima Residence
C'mon, c'mon! I saw the guy on the news! It's also raining outside, so those are both of the requirements filled. Why can't the clock go any faster?!
I look toward my clock and I'm seconds away from being proved right or wrong.
5…

A yellow light appears in my mirror. It shows Pence, Namine's stalker, the guy who fought my cousin for milk, and the culprit behind the murders.
Pence starts to laugh psychotically. "So now you want to pay attention to me, eh? Do you even know who the hell I am?" Pence laughs more. "Then catch me if you can!" The light fades away.
I turn on my phone, and see texts from everyone saying they're ready to head into the Mirror World right now in order to get this over with.
I type in a short message and grab my glasses before I sneak out my window.
Let's finish this!
I feel like a dick for stopping things here, right before Sora and the Investigation Crew head into the Mirror World. It's good that things will start to get even better next chapter, so make sure to keep track of my updates!
My reason of making Pence a bad guy? I dunno, I just felt like it. I didn't want to choose someone that was already evil in the KH games. I wanted to pick someone you normally don't think as bad.
And no, I'm not saying fat people are evil. BTW, Xion is a guy, that wasn't a typo.
Anyway, my school year is ending and summer vacation is coming up. I feel that normally that'd be good for fanfiction writers (Who are in school), but in my case it isn't so great.
I write my chapters on the laptop my school provides for me, and I have to give it back at the end of the year. What this means is, I'll either need to find another PC/Laptop to work on, or take a long hiatus for the summer. Hopefully it's not the latter, but it might come to that. I just want to let it be known that during the summer, chapters may or may not come out as fast due to the situation I'll be in.
Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter, and see you next chapter! (Whenever the hell that will be) Who knows, maybe I'll find a good temporary replacement for my laptop. That, or spend my entire summer at my local library and overuse the computers there until I get kicked out.
