The next day the entire village was up at dawn to fix up the castle. Roxas walked with them. He had no intention of trying to seem better than them. Once they reached the castle grounds everyone began working.
After several hours the work had been done. There were fresh beautiful flowers planted in the courtyard, new paint added to rooms and areas that had needed it and every skeleton and remain of the dead had been given a proper burial in a site a little ways from the castle where everyone was now gathered. Each giving a moment of silence and a prayer to them.
Roxas was the first to speak, "Thank you everyone." He smiled at everyone then turned to Xion and her family, "I'd like to ask you to stay here with me. You guys know how to run things and I feel it's only right." Xion's parents nodded, Xion then clapped and exclaimed, "Tonight we should all celebrate!" Everyone cheered, after a few minutes the people began to venture back to the village.
Xion smiled, "We should all get our things if we are to stay here" Roxas nodded and they all returned to the village to pack up her families things. Withing a couple hours their stuff was moved and they had begun to settle in.
Roxas went up to his room, he had been told his room belonged to King Ventus when he was alive. There was a painting of his parents on the wall and he sighed as he looked at it. He could of had such a happy life here. Roxas flopped down onto the large bed only to hear a knock at the door.
Xion walked in and laughed, "Don't tell me your sleeping already?" Roxas grumbled and sat up to look at her. Xion looked around, "Who would have guessed life would take an turn like this." Roxas nodded, "So why did you come up here?" "Mom and Dad wanted to know what you would want to do to celebrate tonight." Roxas thought for a moment. "What about lighting fireworks?" Xion smiled, "That's a great idea so no matter where the people of the kingdom are they can know you're back." Roxas nodded slightly, he really just thought fireworks looked cool.
The sun had now set, Roxas, Xion and her family were watching out over a balcony. They smiled as the fireworks were set off above them along fireworks coming from the village. Roxas smiled, he was never happier to be home.
