"Terra," Aqua brushed her bangs out of her face. "Listen, take Xion and the rest and hide behind that building over there. You'll want to see this."
"But I wanna help, Aqua!" Xion whined.
Aqua sighed. "Fine. Come here."
Xion skipped to her as the others hid behind the building.
"Okay, give me your hands. Remember that one time when Sora thought he was a god?"
Xion nodded.
"Well, now he's gonna think you are."
"But you're the one doing the magik."
"I know. But it will look like you're doing it."
"How?"
Aqua took Xion's hands in hers and slowly began to disappear. "By going into your subconscious and controlling you."
Xion's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she rose into the air. Inside her subconscious, Aqua bobbed her head to her favorite rock song, 'Love Is War' by Miku Hatsune. She snapped her fingers and Xion's dress got longer and lost its sleeves. Her jaw length hair flowed a little past her shoulders now, and a tattoo of an ice tiger wrapped up her left arm. The red streak in her hair turned blue.
Namine shot hand out at Riku and grinned.
"No fair, Little Water Dragon! I get a body, too!" Namine yelled.
Aqua shivered. No one but her mom called her that.
Namine seeped into Riku's body, the winds causing his flimsy, button-up shirt to come clean off, exposing his golden abs of glory.
Inside his mind, Riku practically wet his pants in fear. "What the hell did you do, Namine?"
"Nothing, really. I just took over your body."
"WHAT!"
"Calm down. Oh, and another thing, I think I'm pregnant." She turned around and quietly began to hum a tune while she traversed the folds of Riku's mind. She left before he had a chance to respond.
"-AT-AAAT-AAAT?" It echoed off the walls.
Namine laughed to herself, before running a hand lightly across her stomach worriedly.

Terra watched as his little sister continuously flung ice bombs at her future husband.
Aqua was right; this IS entertaining.
Sora tapped his shoulder.
"She overworked herself," he said, holding an unconscious Kairi bridal style.
"Take one of the horses, Sora, and take her back to the palace. The doctors can help her out."
Sora climbed onto the horse and rode off, in the direction of his house.
"Sora! You idiot! Get back here!" Terra yelled.
Xion was constantly, gracefully dodging waves of never-ending dark matter, and throwing glossy white spears back at Riku. Mentally, Xion was sitting cross-legged, eating ostrich-jerky while messing with her I-phone lazily.
"Hey, do you know when this'll be over?"
Aqua looked up from the magazine she was reading. "It'll be over soon. Besides, your body can't really last too long without deteriorating. Then again, neither can Riku. Which reminds me; do you like him or something? 'Cause you looked all nervous before we left."
"I don't like him." Xion answered firmly.
An awkward silence settled over the two, until Xion spoke up again. "Look."
Aqua stared out at the fight. She didn't miss the fact that the girl was lagging. Her attacks were weakening, even while Xion's body was on autopilot. Something was wrong.
Aqua began walking towards the front of Xion's brain. "Come here. I need you to do me a favor."
"What is it?" Xion scrambled up next to her.
"I need you to prepare yourself. We're gonna have to retreat."
"Why? What happened?"
"Your body can't take this much energy coursing through it. You're too young. And both she and I have, eh, issues."
"Namine's gonna have a baby? By who?"
"I don't know. I tried getting a mind sweep, but I'm using up too much energy here to do anything over there."
"Oh. Okay, what do you want me to do?"
"Relax and don't move."
Aqua began to traverse to the very back of Xion's mind. Strangely, the entire thing was covered in ebony marble. Her heels clicked against it as she ran. The exit was made of white marble and she quietly stepped out. Her body returned to its original form, and Xion's began to fall from the sky. Namine had disappeared by now, grabbing Riku, who was oddly conscious, and running off hastily.
Aqua whispered a spell, and Xion floated down like a feather. Terra came running forward as she bent down over Xion's body.
"Is she okay?"
"My hands, Terra," she whispered, staring painfully at the blood on her hands and the pool around Xion's head.
"What the hell did you do?"
She flinched at the rage spewing from him. She cringed and waited to feel the blow from his fists. Terra glanced at her as he picked Xion up and carried her to the horse.
"Get up," he said harshly, "We gotta get her to a hospital."
"Aren't you going to punish me?" Aqua's eyes widened a fraction as Terra climbed onto the horse.
"Do you want me to, Aqua?"
She realized, for once in her life, she hadn't gotten beaten for something she did wrong. She hadn't been in a relationship that didn't involve pain, with the exception of her brother, Nathan, and Terra. The depth of that hit her like a ton of bricks.
"No." Aqua said firmly, sitting behind him, and riding off to the closest hospital.
