Sorry for the late update, I've been in a... depressing mood. No doubt, you can thank men for that, since It's because of a guy I'm feeling depressed. I know I told myself I wouldn't let a guy ruin my 'me' year, but it's proving difficult. Anyways, I'm also becoming a bit busy what with college life approaching and buying my books, binders, paper and etc. I also bought THE cutest bag for school. XD
Also, since Shadow 1n2 gave me an idea about it, I would very much like if you guys also took some time to watch Demyx Time on youtube by JenxtheJinx. Also, be sure to check out The Sora Show on youtube by TouchMyKeyblade. I myself have only watched the first episode, but it's really funny! These guys are mad creative!
Enjoy!
Chapter Seven
ȶ
Old friends unite
We got on the Gummi Ship, and it changed completely. The seats where we usually sat were all changed, and our names were imprinted on the back. I walked around the area, and the person in charge of steering the wheel was Sora. He was at the center of the room. Hunh. I guess they still didn't trust me ever since I crashed the ship last year during our trip to the jungles...
As I looked on, I noticed the person in charge of attacks and lasers was Donald. I figured as much, since Donald was pretty good at aiming with his staff. His seat was located on the right side of Sora's seat, and it looked pretty comfy. Right behind Donald's seat was another seat that was in front of a screen that focused on protection and shield, and when I looked at the imprint on the chair, Goofy's name appeared. That was pretty obvious, since Goofy was pretty good at protecting with his shield.
I walked over to the left side of the room, and I noticed another chair with a computer screen on it. I looked over to it, and it had a full report on the ship, as well codes and whatnot. I looked down at the desk, and a book that had the title 'maintenance of the Gummi Ship' was on it. I looked at the imprint of the chair, and I noticed my name was on it.
Well, I'm not really sure what I'm good at, but I guess it's... taking care of things? Ugh, ever since I lost my powers, I've been feeling so insecure about where I stand in, well... everything. Everything happened for a reason, I suppose... I just hope it's right, though, since it's about the only thing keeping me together at the moment.
I walked out of the main control room, and I checked out my room. It was located beside Sora's room, and across from Goofy's. As I entered it, I stared in awe and happiness. The whole room was very soft looking, since the walls were a soft looking neutral pink. The floor had a very large beige carpet, and it almost covered the whole floor. My bed looked really comfy, and when I sat on it, I wanted to sink in and sleep. I had a desk across from my bed, and a bedside table with a really plain looking lamp on it. There was a closet across from the desk, and when I looked inside I raised my eyebrow.
All of my clothes I had back at Olette's were suddenly placed in my closet, and I kind of found it weird. Although I wasn't complaining, since I bought those clothes with my hard earned munny, and they were really cute looking. I walked outside and back into the main control room, and I saw Sora sitting in his chair, playing with the steering wheel. He was imitating car noises, and pretended he was driving a car. Goofy started laughing, but Donald pressed his palm to his face which I could understand... sometimes Sora was a little embarrassing.
We got a message from Chip and dale saying they were glad to see us, and then they went into information about the ship. Sora was obviously in charge of the steering, Donald was in charge of the firearms, and Goofy was in charge protection shields. They told me I was in charge of keeping the ship prepared, such as making sure our firearms are ready to use for Donald, or if the protection shields are good to go for Goofy to use. Since chip and dale were so far away, they also told me I was also in charge of making sure the ship worked. I pouted, since I didn't know the first thing about fixing a ship. I sighed, I guess that maintenance book is gonna be my new best friend.
As we all sat down in our appropriate seats, Sora looked at the screen that popped up. We noticed that only one world appeared, and Sora complained. "Only one?"
Both Donald and Sora complained about there being only one world, but as I took a closer look, I couldn't help but feel familiar with it. I stared at it rather intensely, and I noticed the boys looking at me. I stopped staring at the world, and looked at them. I smiled nervously, and scratched the back of my head. "W-what's going on?"
"You're staring at that world like you know it," replied Goofy. Donald gave me a suspicious look, and Sora only smiled. In truth, I did feel like I knew it, but I wasn't sure if I was just imagining it.
"To be honest, I feel like I do," I said, placing my hands on my lap. I looked at the screen, and sighed. I was starting to feel like I did way back when we first started this journey, how I was remembering everything about myself. That had been the first chapter in my life, first starting with me being kidnapped. That was something I still couldn't remember; my kidnapper.
Goofy looked at the screen, and then he looked back at us. "It might be a world me know, so let's go check it out."
Sora nodded, and he started the ship. It got up very shakily, and we all panicked a bit. Although Sora was put on steering, Donald, Goofy and I still felt a little uncomfortable about it. Donald steered the wheel last year until near the end of our journey, where Sora wanted to learn. As the ship started flying and stopping, a strand of my hair flew to my face. I groaned, and pulled it back, but then I realized I was starting to have long hair. I touched the crown of my head, and I forgot I had a headband. I was never really one to have long hair, but I guess this length was alright. I know it's gonna grow as we go, but I'll cut it off after.
As Sora finally got the ship running smoothly, I looked out into the window. There was a bunch of stars, and it looked really pretty. I looked at the screen in front of me, and it was filled with a report on the status of the ship. It was working at hundred percent, and there was no damage to it. Of course, that was because we just started flying this thing. Once we start going to more worlds, Sora will eventually make me pull my hair when I have to do maintenance on this thing.
Well, we started getting closer to the next world, and luckily for me, there wasn't a lot of space monsters. So we sailed along smoothly, and I rested my head on the chair as I looked out the window.
ȶ
Maleficent
As Pete walked into the secret hideout where Maleficent and he resided, he called out for her. He wasn't sure if Sora and the rest had actually gotten rid of Maleficent, but since she wasn't answering he guess that maybe they did. He walked around the hideout, which was really the remains of the castle at Hollow Bastion. It was nothing like how he expected, since there was no shine or anything even remotely close to that. He stood in the middle of the place, and scratched the back of his head. When he heard something fly in, he turned around, and saw a crow crowing. He gasped, knowing exactly who that crow belonged to.
ȶ
Marie
we managed to make it towards the next world without trouble, and when we entered it, I immediately ran with Sora further into the town.
"It's Hollow Bastion!" exclaimed Sora. We both looked at the castle that was at the center of the world, and I wanted to cry. I'm able to see my second home for a second time, and I was so happy for it.
"Gawrsh, it looks kinda different now," commented Goofy. Of course it looked different, that was because the darkness from this world was gone. Before, Maleficent took over it and let the darkness change the appearance of this once beautiful world, now it really is beautiful.
I looked over to Sora, Donald and Goofy, who all kept looking around. I smiled to myself, and I wanted to go see the people who I shared this home with. "Hey, let's go see Leon and the others!"
Before I could run to look for them, Sora grabbed my hand, and he pointed towards a rooftop. I looked at it, and we all noticed that there was Heartless in this world. My eyes widened a bit at seeing them, but it wasn't going to make me feel low. This is still a home to me, and I'll die protecting it. I looked over to Goofy, who stated that we'd have to do some fighting. I know we are, but will I be able to fight well enough to protect? I shook my head, and I started running towards the center of the town. I immediately stopped when I saw someone I knew instantly.
"Uncle Scrooge!" Donald and I said in unison. I looked over to Donald, and questioned him. Sora raised his eyebrow, and questioned who he was, and Goofy looked over to him.
"He's Donald's uncle—a business typhoon. Before the Heartless showed up, he travelled the worlds on a Gummi Ship with the king," replied Goofy, who placed a finger on his chin. "But how do you know him, Marie?"
"I lived in this world for most of my childhood, remember?" I said, turning around to see him. "I used to buy ice cream off of him, and I call him uncle because, well, he just seemed like the type to call uncle."
Scrooge complained about the noise we were making, and when he turned around, he was shocked. "Why, if it isn't Donald! And Goofy!"
Scrooge stopped talking for a moment, and looked at me. He raised his eyebrow, and I was starting to feel a little sad, thinking that he may have forgotten about me. "Well, well. Little Marie!"
I smiled brightly when he remembered me, and I was starting to feel like I was a little girl again. Especially since Scrooge called me 'little'. He held an ice cream in his hand, and he smiled at all of us, telling us that he looked good. Donald asked him what he was doing, and he told us that he was trying to recreate his famous ice cream.
Before I could even help him, Donald told him that we had to move along. I really wanted to stay and help, but I guess Donald was right. We had other things to do. We said goodbye to Scrooge, and we walked along the road further into the town. We walked down some stairs, and reached the lower parts of the town. Sora and I were walking beside each other, and both Donald and Goofy walked behind us. Sora was a little ahead of me, and when he suddenly stopped, I bumped into his back.
I groaned in annoyance, and when I was about to yell at him, I stopped when I saw something white and digital pop up in front of me. Donald noticed the white things surrounding him, and he started getting annoyed, asking what was going on.
"That's the town's defence mechanism." I raised my eyebrow, and wondered who said that. We all looked around, and when Sora looked up into the higher parts of the town, I did as well. My eyes lit up with happiness when I saw who was standing there, and I ran up a bit when she started smiling at me.
"Yuffie!" I exclaimed happily! Jumping up and down from seeing her. She smiled brightly, and saluted at us. She suddenly gasped, and told us to watch out. Out of nowhere, Nobodies started appearing in front of us. I gasped lightly, out of shock, but then quickly composed myself as I took out my Keyblade. These Dusks, as Yen Sid called them, did circles around us, and Sora delivered the first attack. I hadn't forgotten about the powers the fairies placed in my clothes, but I didn't know how to execute them.
A dusk came rushing towards me, but I blocked it with my Keyblade. I attacked it, but it didn't fall. It spun around me, probably hoping it would make me dizzy, but big mistake! I managed to guess the time it was going to attack, and when it did, I blocked it. I attacked it roughly, and it was thrown back. I smirked, happy to see it being thrown back. I looked over to Sora and the others, and they were having some difficulties. I wanted to help them, but I was really weak in strength, so I wouldn't be much help.
As I was being distracted, I felt the presence of a dusk approaching. I saw it running towards me quickly, and I knew I wasn't going to block the attack on time. I placed my Keyblade in front of me, and all I could think of was how I was going to get this cure and protection spell working. When the dusk came attacking, I wasn't hit with anything. A white shield came popping up, and when the dusk stopped attacking the shield disappeared in the form of small, shiny stars.
Well, I guess my own personal shield was already built in as automatic. Now to learn how to use it on the others, as well as the healing spells. I looked at Goofy, who was running low on health. I know the fairies told me that the spells were basic, so maybe I had to say the name for it to work? It was worth a try.
I pointed my palm towards Goofy, and I closed my eyes as I tried concentrating on the healing spell. I looked up at Goofy, and focused. "Cure!"
...Nothing came out of my palm, but I gasped nonetheless when I saw my Keyblade lighting up. I raised it up, and the stars started glowing and spinning, a pale green light appeared from them, and it hit Goofy. I knew that light signified the healing spell, and I looked at my Keyblade, thinking...
Cool! It can cast spells in a really awesome way! I giggled lightly at it, but when I blocked an attack from a dusk, I had to go back to being serious. I looked over to Sora, Donald and Goofy fighting off the dusks, and I had to do the same. I ran over to the same dusk I was fighting, and I attacked it with my Keyblade. It was pushed back a little, and I ran towards it to attack it again, making it disappear. Sora, Donald and Goofy finished their work right when I did mine, which I felt good about. Of course, I only fought one dusk while they all fought the rest.
"Hey, you guys!" we heard Yuffie say from atop the higher parts of the town. She waved, and jumped down to see us. When she reached the bottom part, she got up and smiled at us. "I see you're still in top form."
"What'd you expect?" replied Sora, who pounded his chest proudly. He smiled at Yuffie, and looked around. "Looks like you're doing okay."
"Well, what did you expect?" laughed Yuffie. Donald asked her how the others were doing, and she told us that they were fine. I smiled at Yuffie, and she looked at me as if she had something to as. I was about to question her, but Sora interrupted by asking if she saw the king or Riku.
She told him no, and she motioned her hands for us to follow her. Sora lowered his head, and I felt bad that he couldn't find them yet, but I followed Yuffie nonetheless. She stopped for a moment, and bounced a bit before pointing her hand at us. "But I had a feeling I'd see you guys again."
I looked back to Sora, who had suddenly turned serious. I raised my eyebrow, and he placed a hand on his forehead while quoting Leon. "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other."
"Is that suppose to be Leon?" she asked, smiling and laughing at the same time. Sora, Donald and Goofy all started snickering, and I couldn't help but laugh along as well. Yuffie told us that everyone else was at Merlin's working on something, and my eyes lit up. I really wanted to see everyone, since I missed them a lot. I looked over to Yuffie, and I grabbed her hand while smiling at her.
"Well? What're you waiting for?" I said, starting to run forward with her. "Let's go see them!"
Yuffie giggled as we ran, with her leading me towards Merlin's place. I was just so overfilled with joy knowing that my home, although second, is turning out alright. As we ran along, Yuffie looked over to me, and she winked. "So, how are things with you and Sora?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, raising my eyebrow. I looked behind me, and I noticed the other three following close behind. I looked down at the floor, and I looked over to Yuffie. "Actually, now that I think about it, he's been acting weird."
"Oohh? Well, you can tell Aerith and I when we reach Merlin's," she replied, laughing as she did. "We'll have a little girls night out or something."
I laughed along with her, and we ran all the way towards a house that was located in a corner. She ran ahead, and opened the door for us to walk in. When we did, we looked around the place, and noticed that it looked pretty cozy. It reminded me a lot like home...
"Meet the Hollow Bastion Restoration committee!" happily exclaimed Yuffie, who jumped out of nowhere, and made me jump. Aerith, Cid and Leon all turned around, and when I saw Aerith smile with her hands touching each other, I couldn't help but squeal and run up to give her a hug.
"Aerith!" I exclaimed, running up and giving her a hug. She laughed, and spun around. Yuffie started laughing, and came towards us joined in the hug. The three of us were laughing, and couldn't help but give out a squeal and jump in excitement. Aerith placed a hand on her chest, and slowly stopped laughing.
"We missed you!" she said, not only looking at me, but at Sora, Donald and Goofy. Cid, Leon, and the others placed their hands over their faces and sighed, which I can understand after our display of girliness.
"Well, if you ain't in top shape," said Cid, who I couldn't help but squeal at. I ran over to him sitting on his chair, and hugged him from behind. He grunted, and tried pushing me off, mostly out of embarrassment. I laughed, along with Aerith, Yuffie, Sora, Donald and Goofy, all while Leon smirked. "Dang it, Marie, I'm not a sissy hugging girl! Get off!"
Cid pushed me off, and we all laughed a little harder. I patted his shoulder, and he groaned. "Well, Cid, nice to know you're still the same."
"I knew it," said Leon, who caught us all out of our random happiness. We looked at him, and Sora asked him what he meant. Surprisingly, Leon told us that a while back everyone suddenly remembered Sora, Donald and Goofy. They all jumped from the answer, but suddenly grew annoyed at how they all forgot about them. I giggled a little at this, and Yuffie placed a hand on her hip laughing.
"So where have you guys been all this time?" asked Yuffie, who looked at us with sudden interest.
"Gawrsh, well. Sora, Donald and I were sleeping," replied Goofy, who looked at everyone.
Cid looked at them before Goofy could continue, and he raised his eyebrow. "Where? In cold storage?"
Goofy, Sora and Donald all looked embarrassed, and I laughed mentally to myself. Goofy rubbed his head, and continued talking. "Marie was staying at the world where we were sleeping, but we had no clue she was there, and neither did she."
"Oohh~ So you two lovers were together after all, and just didn't know it?" swooned Yuffie. I raised my eyebrow, and I couldn't believe that Yuffie was talking all this "love" thing. Sora and I are just friends, sure we went on an adventure last year, but that doesn't automatically claim us as lovers. Gosh.
Aerith laughed, and clasped her hands together, telling us that it didn't matter what happened as long as we were together again. Sora, Donald and Goofy nodded, and a short silenced appeared.
"So, um, we're looking for Riku and the king," said Sora, destroying the silence. "Have you seen 'em?"
I was leaning my elbow against Cid's shoulder as I saw their heads shake. Aerith assured them that they were willing to do anything of they needed help, which was so nice of her. I smiled at her, and Sora nodded. All of a sudden, my elbow lost it's balance when Cid got up, and he went up to Sora in a creepy manner, and smirked at them. "Don't go thankin' us just yet."
"Hollow Bastion's got a problem," added in Leon, who I turned to quickly when I heard the word problem. "A big problem."
"You mean like nobodies, and Heartless?" asked Sora, to which Yuffie agreed on.
"Then let's get working on getting rid of 'em!" I said, raising my hands into fists. There's no way I'm letting some loser Heartless and nobodies ruin my home a second time! Well, my second home... still the same thing, right? Leon cut to the chase, and filled us in that they could use some help. Sora was about to talk, but I interrupted him by telling Leon we would do it. He smirked, walked towards the door, and turned towards us as he opened the door.
"Meet me at the Bailey," he said, looking at all of us. "There's something you need to see."
As soon as Leon left, a small smoke appeared. I fanned away the smoke with my hand, and when it disappeared out appeared Merlin! We all gasped, but we calmed down and smiled at him. He cleared his throat, while rubbing his really long beard. "Ah, nice to see you guys! Right on time!"
"Hey, they're gonna help us with our problem!" said Yuffie, who spun around and laughed. Merlin thanked us for helping, but we didn't need it since we would've done it anyways. He looked over to Aerith, and asked her if she gave us the cards yet.
"Oh!" she gasped, reaching into her pocket. I raised my eyebrow, and watched as she took out four cards. She handed them to us, and both Sora and I stood beside each other as we looked at the cards. Sora turned his around, and we both gasped as we looked at his.
"Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member!" Sora exclaimed surprisingly. I turned my card around, and I smiled as I saw my name hand printed on the card. Sora laughed, and raised his fist in the air. He looked over to me, and opened his palm. "Alright!"
I smiled and laughed at his childish self, and gave him a high-five. Donald and Goofy looked at the cards, and we were all pretty happy to be part of the team. I was especially happy, because I really felt like I was helping this time. Sora thanked Leon out loud, but when he didn't appear, Sora slapped his forehead, reminding us that we needed to be at the Bailey.
"Oh, before you go, have you guys been keeping up on your magic?" asked Merlin, who looked at all of us. Sora looked down at the floor, and placed a finger on this chin. I opened my palm, and thought about the spell of fire. I closed my eyes trying to concentrate, and when I opened them, a small speck of fire appeared above my palm.
"Whoa!" I exclaimed, seeing the flame. It disappeared quickly after, and Merlin chuckled. Sora tried doing the same, but when he couldn't he raised his eyebrow.
"I think you forget how to use your spells while you were asleep, Sora," stated Yuffie. Merlin agreed, saying that Sora most likely forgot. He lent some of his own spells to Sora, and he thanked him. Merlin looked over to me, and I wondered what was going on.
"You weren't asleep along with the rest, so I don't think that affected you and your spell casting abilities," he said, pushing back his glasses. He grabbed my hand, and examined it while making thinking noises. I raised my eyebrow, and I felt a little awkward as he looked at it. "Ah, yes. I was right. You didn't forget them, but you are a bit sluggish. Just keep firing those spells, and you'll be back to your regular magic casting self!"
"How can you tell just by looking at my palm?" I asked, taking back my hand. He chuckled again, and told us that he had the ability to tell. I was so amazed by what these wizards and witch could do with their prowess, and I really wanted to know all of their secrets. Sora reminded us about the Bailey, and when we began to leave, I felt two soft hands touch my shoulder while pulling me back.
"Sora, we need to borrow Marie alone for a while, if you don't mind?" asked Aerith, who smiled at Sora. He raised his eyebrow, but Yuffie pushed him out the door before he could ask. I looked at her while she did, and she kept smiling evilly.
"Don't worry Sora, she'll be returned to your arms soon," she replied, making Sora stammer and as he walked outside the door. Yuffie shut the door shut with her hip, and she looked back at me. "So... how are you and Sora?"
Yuffie smirked at me, and Aerith smiled. I raised my eyebrow, and I sat down on one of the chairs they had in the center of the room. I looked down at the floor, and I started thinking about Sora. He was acting weird, and so was everyone else. Why would they assume we were... together? I looked over to Yuffie and Aerith, who were happily waiting for a response. I noticed Cid sitting on his computer chair, pounding on the keyboard. I sighed before answering. "...Why would you assume there was anything between us?"
"...What?" asked Aerith, completely taken back from my answer. Yuffie scratched her head while looking at her, and then they both looked at me. Aerith walked a little closer to me, and she had a concerned look on her face. "But.. I thought you liked him?"
"Like him? Yeah, I like him—but as a friend!" I exclaimed, leaning my elbow against the table. "He keeps hugging me weirdly, like we're in love or something."
"But what about all those precious memories you guys had!" pleaded Yuffie, who swung her arms around. She and Aerith looked completely devastated, and they kept looking at each other while looking at me.
"I dunno what memories you guys are talking about," I said, getting up. "But Sora and I are just friends!"
Aerith placed a finger on her chin, thinking of something, and Yuffie just looked really sad. I didn't understand any of this, what was the big deal if I didn't like Sora like that? They make it seem like we're going to marry each other or something. Aerith snapped her fingers, and looked like she had an idea or something as she spoke. "Sora must have done something wrong! That's why you refuse to remember all those memories!"
"That makes sense!" exclaimed Yuffie. "Don't worry Marie, we'll give Sora a good talking to so that he begs for forgiveness from you!"
"I'm gonna go now," I flatly said. It was obvious what I was trying to say didn't get through to these girls, and as much as I love them, it was kind of annoying. I want someone, anyone to understand what I think towards Sora—and it isn't love! I got up from my chair, and walked towards the door. But as I did, I tripped over something, and fell to the floor. "Augh!"
Aerith, Yuffie and Cid ran towards me, and they asked me if I was alright. I sat up, and looked at my feet. I felt some pain on my left ankle, but it wasn't enough to make me scream out in pain. Aerith went up and got some cream to ease the pain, and both Yuffie and Cid sat beside me.
"Girl, you're a klutz, you know that?" stated Cid. I sighed, and looked at my ankle. I'm really not having a good day, huh?
ȶ
Sora
As Sora leaned against the door, with his eyelids dropping halfway, he couldn't help but feel as if his heart had been torn apart from him. How could Marie be like that? What did he do to make her not like him anymore? Was it something he said? Something he did? He just didn't understand. His hand softly touched the door, and he tried very hard not to create a tear fall down his cheek.
Both Donald and Goofy also overheard the conversation, and they didn't know what to say to make Sora feel better. Honestly, this sort of situation was almost impossible to make light of, and they knew that. They parted from the door, and they looked at Sora sadly. They saw him try his very not to look like he was about to cry, but they knew him well enough. He did want to cry.
As Sora slowly parted from the door, he leaned against it, and looked up into the sky. "What did I do wrong?"
Donald and Goofy lowered their head, unable to answer. The only thing they could do at this point was be very supportive of him, because Marie was acting very odd. How could she forget? They just didn't understand.
"She's probably still mad at me from that trip to Neverland!" realized Sora, who slapped his forehead. Of course, it was so simple to him. Marie was probably still mad at him for supposedly "confessing" his love for Kairi, and she tried not to be mad about it until now. Sora walked away from the door, and raised his fist into the air. "I dunno how I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna make Marie forgive to the point where she won't get mad at me for anything!"
Donald and Goofy sighed while face palming their friend. They figured it was something more than just being mad at Sora, but they didn't want to ruin his hope or make him sad since... well, he was horrible to watch when he was sad.
"Well... you could always remind her of the love you guys have?" suggested Goofy, although feeling a bit confused about it. He didn't want to make things worse, but Sora's eyes lit up, and he placed his hand on his hips.
"That's exactly what I'll do!" he said, raising his hand. "But I have to be really quiet about it."
Sora rubbed his hands together while thinking of a plan to make Marie happy and not angry with him. As he thought on and on, he began to think of the kiss he wanted to give Marie. Yes, that would certainly please Marie, since it would show her how much he really loves her. As he heard the door open, he noticed Marie walking out of the room. He noticed a white ankle brace on her ankle, and he raised his eyebrow. "Whoa, what happened?"
"Silly me tripped when I was about to leave," she laughed, waving it off. "Don't worry though, it's... It doesn't hurt that much."
Sora looked at her, and she looked at him. She pulled a strained of hair behind her ear, and she started walking ahead of him. She turned around, and smiled at the boys. "Well, we gotta meet Leon at the Bailey, remember?"
Sora nodded, and they all walked over to the Bailey. As Sora watched Marie, he noticed that she was definitely being subtle about being mad. But that didn't matter, since he would make it all better.
Wow, talk about complete denial. LOL.
Well, Sora knows that Marie doesn't like him, but he took it out of context and is in complete denial and thinks she's just mad. Sora buddy, you don't know about girls, do you?
Sorry for the long wait, too busy with College that it's gotten me all stressed, depressed, and angry. Also caused an on-going block that will cause the next chapter to delay. DX
Shadow 1n2: Lol, I know. Poor Sora, he's always the butt of many jokes. That's cause Sora is like a puppy, you can't resist the puppy look. Haha, and true enough, though, I doubt Marie would care at this point since she's getting pretty annoyed at Sora trying to woo her. Already did! XD Ah, and Axel. He's actually the only character to say swear words like "damn," and "hell." But you're right in saying he would've said way more. Damn Disney. LOL, I saw that one! Oh my goodness, I couldn't breath when I saw that part. But it serves Zexion right, Twlight is NOT literature. XD
Lvl-ZeR0: Aha, thanks! Well, I am known to corrupt minds with dirty thoughts since I'm not a saint myself. There are some donuts that I don't like, like boston creme donuts. I would eat them, but ever since I threw them up when I was little, I've felt nauseous when I get near them. Same thing goes for pistachios, and I literally cried when that happened since I LOVE pistachios.
Grapejuice101: well, you should feel 100% bad for him for being delusional. Yeah, I don't think anyone wants to see him hurt, but I must do it for the sake of this story. And I'll make sure that when she remembers, it'll be full of fluff!
SisterOfScarletDevil: Aha, thank you so much! I'm glad you didn't mind. This one is about 5,000 words, so it's not that long. XD
Lele-the-Greek-Geek: Haha, thank you! I'm glad you thought that, and yes, Sora is likeable for his Nativity. Yes, she has. Which reminds me, she hasn't appeared yet. She will soon enough though, like in two chapters. And poor Marie, she can never get a break on her birthday!
Dracula X: Thank you, and no problem. I could understand Sakura's voice for Marie, but not so much sam. Her voice is too chippy and happy for be Aura's. Sakura's voice is like between tom boy-ish and girly, which is a nice match for Marie. But I still like Estelle's voice from Tales of Vesperia. XD
dracula-key: Thank you. Yeah, she forgot it sadly, but sweet Riku brought it back like the good boy he sort of is. Aha, well the history goes even further than that. Way before Marie was eve born. Augh, I know it's horrible to read, but we gotta bear it and wait for the fluff!
Kingdomdisney: Or better yet, Marie's gonna find it annoying when he tried even harder. Poor boy is so in denial. DX And yes, hint hint, he might like her. But will Aura like him back? XD
mysterygirl123: Thank you! I know, she is alone... for now!
InuyaKoneko: Well, you could always see them on google. But I might draw them like how I described them in the story. I also went in quizilla, but I didn't see any stories. I was hoping to read some! XD Oh, and that's so nice of her. I wouldn't mind so long as I get to see it after it's done. XD
pokemonsora01: That's alright, just glad you came for the after party. XD and thank you, I hope you liked this one. XD
guitarqueen136: I really am grateful for you review, since it really touched my heart. I am so glad that you like this story, and the series along with it. I feel so incredibly honoured when someone tells me that I'm their most favoured author, and that you think these series are better than books and mangas. T_T I also want to thank you for saying that I get to work on video games, though unfortunately, I don't have the required courses for that., and it breaks my heart that I can't do what I love. I will try my best to keep inspiring you! And why, there might be a little love romance between Riku and Aura, though I think Roxas is still in the lead.
Choco3Symphony: Yes it will, when he realizes the exact truth. Right now, he's in the first stage, which is denial. Then it'll be rage, then it'll be sadness, and THEN acceptance. LOL, you do not know how much that has happened to me. I'm like, "damn why aren't they updating?" an then I see they have like 42 chapters up without me realizing all because I forgot to add it to my list. XD
XxStarHeartxX: Aww, thank you! Yes, it is going to be a very emotional story, and this is just the calm before the emotional storm. DX unfortunately, she'll never know who gave her that flower, until Riku tells her himself, which I kind of doubt. But I hope you liked this chapter!
Starlightmint72: That's fine, and don't worry. Updates are pretty so since I'm mad busy with these stupid forms for College. Ugggh. And thank you! I really love creating clothes, I think I should be a fashion designer. XD and you're right, it's suppose to balance Marie out, since she's the nice one. In a symbolic way, anyways, since I am all about symbolism. XD And thank you! Take your time, since I won't be answering them till Stella's story comes out, and the story for KH3. XD
Kurai-Darkness: Yeah, they're horrible to watch on TV. XD but I love reading about them because some people have more creativity than TV writters. XD
