Lea, Hope, and Isa were laying in the grass at the park, staring up at the night sky and looking for constellations when Lea popped a very interesting question. "Hey, guys?"

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"Have you guys ever wondered what those stars up there are? Where the light comes from and stuff?" Lea asked, continuing to stare up at the stars in the night sky.

Hope looked over at him before sitting up, "Well…My mom told me that each of those stars up there are other worlds."

"Really?" Lea asked, Isa remaining silent, but still looking just as curious.

"Mmhm. And the light is from their hearts, shining down upon us like little lanterns."

"Wha? I don't get it." Lea stated, sitting up and crossing his arms across his chest.

Hope smiled, "Well, I don't know either, but…maybe someday, when we're older, we'll understand."

"But I don't wanna wait, I wanna know now!"

"But we're too young to know now, Lea!"

"Aw, c'mon, Hope! Quit making it sound like we're a bunch of babies!" Lea exclaimed.

"But we're only 11!"

"So? Who says we cant know now?"

"She has a point…" Isa said, sitting up as well.

"Whose side are you on?" Lea asked, frowning at his friend.

"You would probably never understand anyway…"

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

All the sudden, Hope began laughing, earning both boys attention. "Hey, what're you laughing about?" Lea asked.

"You two! If you guys were even related, you would make the weirdest brothers in the world!" She turned away, continuing to laugh while both boys looked at each other for a moment before following in laughter, allowing it to fill the night.

Day 94- Hearts~

When Roxas woke up that morning, he had been expecting the normal daily routine: Go on a mission with Xion, have ice-cream with Axel and Hope afterwards, and then go to bed. But when he walked into the Grey Area, he had not been expecting it to be completely vacant. Confused as to where everyone exactly went, he glanced around. He figured that maybe he had woken up too early, but he abandoned that idea when he turned around and saw Saix walking over to him.

"Lord Xemnas has summoned us," was all that he said before walking out, Roxas right behind him.

~o~O~o~O~o~

Everyone was gathered up on the Altar of Naught, staring at Xemnas while he spoke. "The time has arrived," he began, pausing and raising his hands to the sky above. "Look to the skies!" Immediately everyone looked up, and heart-shaped like moon appeared, lighting the sky up somewhat. "There hangs the heart of all hearts-Kingdom Hearts-shining down on us at last."

Hope stared up at it like everyone else did, her face emotionless as she did. Although this had meant it was closer to helping save the ones she had lost…something didn't feel quite right. She shook it off, going back to listening to Xemnas's speech.

"See the countless hearts that have gathered? Hearts full of rage…hate, sadness…and bliss. There, in the sky, hangs the promise of a new world. My friends! Remember why we have organized-all the things we hope to achieve. The strength of the human heart is vast. Soon, though…we will have gained power over it! Never again will it…have power over us. We will achieve our goal with the help of the Keyblade and our Princess. They will help us attain the hearts we seek."

'This will only bring them closer to the darkness…you must not let this happen.' Hope frowned as the voice echoed in her head. She ignored it for the moment and continued staring up at the heart in the sky, clasping her hands together as if she were going to pray. She let her nervous and worrisome thoughts flow freely in her mind, listening to them.

'They make it sound like they plan to take over the worlds…but they're just looking to get hearts…right? But…why does it feel as if that's what Xemnas is planning? And…I haven't done anything special that's actually contributed to this. I'm only here because I want to help Roxas, Axel, Xion, Demyx…and because I don't have a choice. I'm working to help because I want to give those who actually deserve hearts, hearts. But…what part am I to even play in this?'

Whatever her part was, she could only hope that it was one that would not bring harm to anyone else.

Axel and Hope sat on the clock tower with their ice-cream, both awaiting Xion and Roxas to return from their mission. After a few more minutes, Xion and Roxas both appeared.

"Hey, you two." Hope greeted, giving them a smile.

"How'd work go? Think you can keep pulling off double duty?" Axel asked Roxas, smirking slightly.

Roxas nodded, "So far, so good."

Xion giggled, "Roxas took today's Heartless out in no time flat."

"Well, great. Keep it up." Axel said, watching the two as the took a seat on the edge with them.

"I don't know why we need to continue fighting Heartless like this." Roxas stated, frowning slightly.

Hope stared at him in concern, while Axel smiled, "Sure you do. We have to finish Kingdom Hearts. We finally got our first glimpse of it today, remember?"

Roxas looked over at him. "Yeah, but what is it? "The heart of all hearts"?"

"It's where all the hearts you and Xion, and I collect, all wind up." Hope explained, looking out at the horizon.

"Exactly. It's because of you three and the Keyblade that we're finally making some progress," Axel said, looking out at the sky, a thoughtful smile settling its way onto his face, "You, me, and Xion might finally get hearts of our own."

"The strength of the human heart is vast," Xemnas said." Xion added in.

Roxas sighed, "Yeah, but what do we need with it?"

Axel looked at him like he was insane, "Are you crazy?"

"I just don't understand why having a heart is so important. Do you?" Roxas asked, sounding a bit sad.

"Kind of a strange time to bring it up…" Axel mumbled, sounding a bit annoyed, earning an elbow to the side from Hope.

"But don't you ever stop and wonder? We're fighting for something we don't know anything about."

Hope nearly dropped her ice-cream when Roxas put it like that. 'He's right…we're all fighting for something we know nothing about. For all we know, it could be dangerous…'

"Roxas… We're fighting because we want to know what it's about." Axel said, earning the blondes attention.

"Yeah…Yeah, I guess you're right. But…what about Hope? You didn't mention her when you said we'd all be getting hearts."

Hope looked over at Roxas in surprise, while Axel finished up his ice-cream, "Well, that's because-"

"Because, I'm not a Nobody." Hope interrupted Axel, who looked over at her in surprise, while Roxas and Xion looked over at her in shock.

"You mean, you still have you're heart?" Roxas asked, earning a quiet nod from Hope.

"You mean you really couldn't tell? I thought you already knew that I was still a somebody…."

"But…if you still have a heart, then why are you in the Organization?" Roxas asked, growing more confused by the second.

She pulled out her luck charm, staring down at it thoughtfully, "Because I don't have a choice. Xemnas thinks that I can help the organization reach the completion of Kingdom Hearts faster. But that's only part of the reason I'm here. Normally, I probably would've gotten away, but I'm still here because I want to help give those who deserve a heart, a heart."

"You're the Princess that Xemnas was talking about, aren't you?" Xion asked.

Hope smiled and nodded, "Yeah. Back where I used to live, my grandpa was the ruler of our home. Because of my relation to him, people considered me a princess. But I'm not leaving until I know that I can help everyone I can."

'Because if I can do that…then that means I can save Axel…Because I need him in my life…'

A/N: Yup, yup! So, this chapter….not the best it could've been in my view, but as long as I have something down, it's all good. So, because of my current lack of ideas so far, things are probably going to get a bit boring in the future chapters until that one idea that is genius comes to mind ^-^; Heh, sorry, but hopefully that will happen quite soon! Actually, I am 92% sure it will…I hope. Well, hope you didn't mind the chapter that I consider not all interesting, interesting! LATER MY WONDERFUL TATERS!
