Sorry this chapter took so long. I got grounded from the computer for like a month and a half and then school started and I've been really busy, stupid honor program XP I've also had some major writers block lately.

A Brush with Royalty

"Well, if we believe what she said then she's done here and we can leave." Sora said walking over to Riku.

"I believe her." Alex said, also walking over to Riku.

"Really, why?" Sora asked.

"I don't know just a feeling I have."

"Yeah, I've got a feeling like that too." Riku said, his arms were crossed and his eyes were narrowed like he was deep in thought.

"Well I guess that means we can leave as soon as you finish the wing. Did you decide yet?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, I'm coming with you." Then she grabbed Riku's hand and headed back towards the house.

"What was that about?" Kairi said coming out of the woods and taking Sora's hand.

"I'm not really sure."

"You want to help me with the gummies?" Alex asked when they got back to the garage.

"Um, sure. What do I do?"

"Put on those gloves and apron and take those tongs out of the fire." She said pointing to some gloves and an apron and donning the ones she threw as she ran out of the garage. He did as she said and held the tongs out as she stuck more gummies on the molten mass. He then stuck it back in the fire and helped her pump the bellows.

They continued to alternate between adding gummies to the tongs and pumping the bellows. When they had only half of the gummies left Alex pounded the gummi until it was flat just like the first one. Then she pulled the first on out of the sand. It was still very hot but not molten so she grabbed another pair of tongs and stuck both flattened peaces of gummi into the fire. A few minuets later they were both red hot and she was able to fuse the together.

They continued this twice more until they had used all the gummies. Then Alex proceeded to shape the white gummi into the correct shaped wing they needed. When she was done it was ten feet long and six feet wide at the widest point. They carried it down to the ship and Sora and Riku held it up as she fastened it to the ship.

"Wow." Kairi said as Alex finished putting it in place.

"Wow's right, I can't believe you made that." Sora said taking a step back.

"Well Riku helped." She said modestly jumping off he top of the ship into Riku's awaiting arms. Sora quirked an eyebrow at that. He quickly released her and she gathered up her tools and walked over to Sora. "We need to talk to dad." She said and started for the house, he quickly followed. He waited for her while she deposited her tools in the garage and they headed into the house to talk to their dad who just got home.

"Dad." Alex called as they walked in.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk to you."

"We?" He said coming down the stairs.

"Hey, um, dad." Sora said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

"So what did you want to talk about?" He asked motioning for them to sit at the table.

"Well, we finished fixing their ship." Alex said, when he didn't reply she continued. "That means they can leave now."

"Oh." Was all he said.

"And I offered for Alex to come with us." Sora put in.

"And I accepted."

"I figured this would happen." He sighed. "Which is why I made arrangements to purchase on of Clyde's smaller ships, so Luna and I could go back to Destiny Islands, and your mom."

"That's great, dad!" Alex exclaimed.

"Yeah, I think she's really missed you." Sora said. Jake seemed to be deep in thought.

"Well I'm going to go grab a few things." She sighed. "When were you planning on leaving?" She asked stopping on the first stair.

"Probably tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, I'll probably leave the day after tomorrow. I've still got some lose ends to tie up with work and all." Jake said standing up and following Alex upstairs.

A few minutes latter Alex came down with a couple of books, a picture, a sketchbook, a small knife and a guitar. Sora was surprised to see her carrying a guitar down the stairs.

"Your bringing a guitar?"

"Yeah, why shouldn't I? I'm not going to be able to deal without music for very long so I just thought I'd bring my guitar."

"Yeah, I guess that works. I just didn't know you played." He shrugged and they headed out to the ship.

"This will be your room." Sora said opening the door to the unused bedroom. It was simple; a bed a dresser and a bedside table. Exactly the same as Kairi's room.

"Cool, thanks." She said. He nodded and left. She put her books on the bedside table along with the picture and sketchbook. Then she leaned the guitar against the dresser and unsheathed the knife and slid it under her mattress.

Then she headed out into the hall. Sora, Kairi and Riku were standing there waiting for her. "I guess we should all get some sleep." Kairi said they all nodded their agreement and headed up to the house

They had fallen into some what of a routine; they would each take showers (usually Kairi, Riku, Alex, Sora, because Kairi and Riku took the longest.) then Kairi would flip because 'someone took her diary' then she would look again and find it under her bed where she put it the night before and would act like nothing happened. Sora would pass out on the couch for about a half hour when Kairi and Jake went to bed, and Alex would find Riku on the porch and they would talk. Then Sora would wake and groggily remind them to go to bed. They were currently on the porch part of the evening.

"Hey." Alex said walking out onto the porch.

"Hey," Riku said, turning around and smiling at her.

"So, about earlier." She leaned on the railing next to him.

"You mean the kiss." He said and she nodded.

"Sorry about running out like that but I suddenly sensed her and..."

"It's okay, I get it." He said quietly, he cupped his hand around her cheek and brought her face to his. They broke apart when they heard the creak of the door opening and Sora stumbling out rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"You coming?" He asked yawning.

"In a sec." Riku replied his eyes never leaving Alex's. He brought her lips to his once more before taking her hand and walking inside.

Riku felt something brush against his lips as he woke the next morning. He also felt fingers running through his hair. He opened his eyes and saw Alex looking down at him, her brown hair a curtain around her face, Spiderman style. He smiled and leaned up to kiss her.

"Morning." She said smiling.

"Morning." She leaned up allowing him to stretch and put his shirts back on. "Are you ready to leave?" He asked turning around to face her.

"yeah, I just have to say good bye to my dad." She grabbed his hand. "You hungry, I made french toast."

"Yeah, I'm starving." She laughed and led him into the kitchen. "So where is everyone?" He asked taking some french toast.

"Outside by the ship." After he finished he put his plate in the sink and took her hand allowing her to lead him outside.

Sora and Kairi were saying good bye to Jake. Kairi shook his hand and Sora gave him an awkward hug. When he turned to her she ran up to him and buried her face in his chest. "I'm gona miss you bug." He said kissing the top of her head.

"I'm gonna miss you to dad." She looked up at him. "But I have to go stop Kurai, and you need to go see mom." He nodded, eyes full of pride as he looked at his two children. He watched as they boarded the ship and stood there until they disappeared into the sky.

"So where are we going now?" Alex asked from her seat as the left cannons, Riku was controlling the cannons on the right, Sora was driving, and as usual, Kairi was sitting in her seat with as many straps and seat belts as possible.

"We're going to Disney Castle to talk to the king." Sora said.

"Wait, we didn't seal the world." Riku realized.

"Yeah, i did. I found it at the base of a huge tree in the forest one day." He said grinning.

"You mean my tree?" Alex said looking slightly surprised. They had explained the proses of sealing the heart of a world when they told Alex and Jake about their adventures.

"I don't know." Sora shrugged and focused more on driving.

It didn't take them long to reach Disney Castle.

They left the ship and found the king and the queen in the library.

"Hey guys, did you seal the world? Who's this?" The king asked when he saw Alex.

"Yes we did seal the world, and this is my twin sister Alex." She gave an awkward little wave. "Alex, this is King Mickey."

"Oh, hmm." The king looked surprised and a little concerned about this. He got up from his desk and walked over to one of the book shelves that covered the walls. After he located the book he was looking for he jumped up to get it, and jumped and jumped.

"Um your majesty," Riku cleared his throat.

"Um, the red one if you wouldn't mind." The King said embarrassed. Riku nodded and handed him the book. It was very large and bound in red leather, clearly very old. There was the crown from Sora's necklace with a key hole on it on the cover. Both Sora and Alex grabbed their necklaces when they saw it. "This is the symbol of the keyblades."

"You mean all of them?" Kairi asked.

"No, just two," He opened the book. "They're known as the royal keyblades. Now unlike the other keyblades that chose their master because of the strength of his heart, the royal keyblades can only chose a member of the royal family. They have been lost for years but I think that I've found them."

On the first pages that the king flipped through were filled with small flowing script.

"Is that in English?" Alex asked trying to read over the small king's shoulder.

"No," he paused in flipping over the next page. "It's an old language. I've been searching for years for someone who can read it. It belonged to an old world. The one where the royal family lived." Alex didn't acknowledge his answer, staring intently at the page. "Its said that all the people from that world were lost except the heirs to the throne."

Everyone gasped as the king turned to the next page. Covering both pages was a painting of a man and a woman standing back to back, they each held an identical keyblade.

Alex placed her hand on the page. "They look just like..."

"Us." Sora finished for her, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"It's definitely not you two." The king assured them. "They are related to you however. They like you are twins, and the legend tells that when their world fell to the darkness the man, Skye, held it off long enough for his sister, Alexavia, and her husband to get away with their unborn child."

"So we're their descendants?" Alex asked stunned.

"So their like royalty? Like prince and princess." Riku commented quietly.
