I don't own Xaldin, Kingdom Hearts, Najada, or White Pythor. Enjoy.

*Still the Same Inside*

Pam gasped in awe after ripping the hood off the white-hooded stranger's head to see who he is…her "lover" Pythor! Sure, he's now white with his black accents colored violet, but she recognized his eyes anywhere.

"Pythor!" she gasped, looking up at the shocked snake in her own shock. "You're alive? But…" He quickly threw his hood back over his head.

"No!" he cried, turning away from her. "Don't look at me!" Annoyed, she pulled the hood off him again despite his protests.

"Man up, will ya? I thought the Great Devourer ate you up like a piece of candy! I thought you were…gone…Then again, Sensei did survive, so it must've been possible you did too. I didn't think that through."

"I've suffered a worse fate than death," Pythor groaned, covering his face with his now violet hands. "I've digested in his bowels, and it did…this to me. Your mentor was more fortunate."

"But if you survived, then…why didn't you come after me again?" she asked, sounding hurt. "I…I thought you loved me…" The white Anacondrai lowered his hands at her words and gawked in shock.

"Of course, I loved you, and I still do," he protested, taking her hands into his. "It's just that…Well, look at me. How can you love back someone this…ugly?"

Pam felt a twinge of pain in her heart at that last word. He was scared that she'd hate him because of his new appearance. How could he think such a thing? She then placed her hand on his cheek.

"You're such an idiot! You're not ugly. You're still the same on the inside: the same charming, suave, romantic doofus who's crazy about me to want to kidnap and marry me. And you still have your beautiful eyes that I love so much. Above all, I…I really missed you." Pythor blinked at her words as she looked down sadly. "Things just weren't the same after you left: Lloyd's now a teenager; Garmadon becomes a good guy again…but I never stopped thinking about you." Pythor then gave her a small smile before lifting her chin up at looking into her tearing eyes.

"I've missed you too; you never left my thoughts either." She laughed a little as he brushed her tears away gently. "So…you think my eyes are still beautiful?" She nodded with a hum. "And…what do you think of my new look now?"

"In all honesty?" she answered with a smile. "Like one beautiful pearl." Then the two shared their first kiss in a long time.

*One of the Family (starring a reviewers OC)*

Pythor sat in his room, looking over some documents and aware of a small figure creeping up at his side. But he smirked a bit, knowing whom the figure is and decided to play along. Before he knows it, the figure leapt onto his lap and started to tickle his stomach.

"Eeek!" he cried playfully with a laugh. "Help me! The tickle monster's got me!" He then playfully fell out of his seat and onto the floor as the figure giggled with him.

"No one will save you," the figure stated playfully. With a laugh, Pythor picked up the figure that happened to be a small rainbow dragoness.

"You are such a sneaky devil, Najada," he chuckled, making her laugh in reply.

It seemed like only yesterday that Najada came into Pythor and the Generals' lives, although it was actually a long time ago. She lost her parents on the day she hatched but was fortunate that the five leaders found her and took her in. Since then, she's grown to know each of them and love them like family. She especially loves to tickle them when she's playing with them. Of course, of the five leaders, she's the closest to Pythor who loves her like his own baby sister. Sure, she could act like she's the mother of the group, but the Generals know it's part of her growing up so fast.

Najada may not know who her parents really are, and it's very likely she's one of the last of her kind. Either way, Pythor and the Generals see her as one of the family.

*Pam Vs Xaldin*

"Feed your anger," the man with black hair in dreadlocks and a black trenchcoat said to Pam. "Only anger will keep you strong."

"Pffft!" she scoffed in reply. "Yeah, that's what you said to the Beast, Xaldin. Look where it brought you now." With a scowl, Xaldin summoned winds around him and brought up six nasty-looking lances. Pam then summoned forth her golden wings and floated alongside her own winds swirling around her.

Then the fight between them commenced. Xaldin tried to impale Pam with his lances, but she blocked them with her wings and sais, all with a calm expression on her face. With frustration, he lunged at her, only for her to dodge and ninja kick him in the face. While he's stunned, she threw one of her sais at him like a throwing knife, and he fell back with full force when it struck him in the chest…all in literally slow motion. Then green letters saying "YOU WIN" flashed before her, making her sigh with annoyance.

"C'mon, Pythor!" she sighed as she pressed the side of the VRVG (Virtual Reality Video Game) glasses to turn them off and change the scenery back into the training room of the Bounty. "Can't you make this a bit more challenging?" The Anacondrai only chuckled in reply.

"I'm sorry it was too easy for you, dear," he replied, "but it was Jay's call. He's making this easy for you in case of any glitches." She then shrugged in reply before removing the glasses and putting them on the table.

"Guess I can't blame him for being careful," she replied, "but Xaldin from Kingdom Hearts? Seriously?"

"I thought it seemed appropriate," he replied with a shrug, "regarding you're both wind elements and all." Pam chuckled in reply before the two of them left the room together.
