Is it fath, or is it confusion? Was it meant to happen? Or was it a covisidence? I wonder why am I tangle into strings I can't identify. What is my destiny for? Why do I have it? I wish I had the knew the anwsers to everything. My heart feels hurt. By all these jokers that aren't making sence. It's so bizzare. -Yume
A plushie moogle stood right in front of Rhian, with a red nose, little wings, and a red ball comming from it's antenna. It was flying above the ground, with it's eyes closed. It was pretty smart at knowing about Traverse Town, not only that but it was helpful enough to lend out some facts. It told Rhian how he met other people, like a little girl with blond hair who worn a black cap with a skull on it. A pretty lady with a red dress, a magician duck and a knightly dog. He once witness a mouse coming by and in a hurry too. He also mention he met a young boy with a red jumpsuit, big yellow shoes, and spiky shoes. He had brown spikey hair, he came across this distance before. Rhian though for sure the boy must of been Yume's father just by the descriptions. Then Moogle told him, he saw another blond girl with pigtail braids, wearing a pink long jacket, white dress, red sneakers, and hot pink fingerless gloves.
Rhian blinked a bit, he knew right there that the girl was Yume. So she must of walk pass this district of Traverse's Town. He put his hand on his chin wondering if that was true.
"Are you sure? Do you know what your saying?" Rhian asked the floating moogle.
"Yes, i saw it with my own eyes, kupo. She was here walking across the alley, saying something about 'looking for her friends', kupo." Moogle said.
"So, she was looking for us. That must of been while I was with Nini." Rhian thought.
"I don't know where else she could be now. But, if I could make a suggestion you might wanna stay away from private areas around. There be those bad heartless creatures, kupo." Moogle said. Something came up on Rhian's head at the moment.
"Hold up a sec, if you saw Yume here. Then didn't she went up and talk to you?" Rhian asked.
"Unfortunately, no kupo. She didn't bother coming here I'm afraid, kupo" the red-nose stuffing said.
"You said she remind you this girl you met?" Rhian asked.
"Oh yes! A little girl who was a bit younger than her, kupo. She wore a long-sleeve orange shirt, white shorts, and black shoes, kupo. And I must say, she was pretty intelligent for her age, kupo. " Moogle said.
"What was her name?" Rhian asked.
"Hmmm, I think her name was..." The moogle stop in silence, it's been so long. He probably couldn't remember her name.
"I'm so sorry kupo, I can't seem to remember her name kupo." Moogle said sadly.
"It's ok, take your time." Rhian said as he patted the Moogle's head.
Out of sudden, a heartless knight, came out from behind Rhian. Aiming to stab him with it's sharp claws.
"Look out! kupo!" Moogle shouted pointing at the heartless knight. Rhian quickly turn around, the heartless jump right at him with it's claws open. Rhian lift up his hand and the a blue aura appeared out of nowhere, he made like a circle with his hand and then balled it to a fist. Causing the swirling aura to close in the heartless, it disappeared from site as the blue aura vanished when Rhian released his hand from hold position.
"Wow! How did you learn that? kupo." Moogle asked surprised.
"It's a long story. But I could say that I'm a magician." Rhian said.
"That was incredible, kupo! Do you have a keyblade too, kupo?" Moogle asked.
"A keyblade?" Rhian asked. He never herd of that kind of weapon.
"Oh you don't have one, kupo? That's too bad, kupo." Moogle said.
Yume, Donald, and Goofy walked over the first district of Traverse Town. Yume still had keep hidden in a brown cloak, so no on would misunderstand her as Sora. She even found it creepy for her to be inside a boy's body. She didn't even understand how Raymond was even able to something like this. Maybe she had something that respond to Raymond spell. Come to think of it, she never even thought being transform into someone she resembles a lot. Thinking about made her even hold on her cloak very tightly.
"Don't feel intimidated Yume. You'll be back to your old self in no time." Goofy said, patting Yume's back.
Yume didn't respond, she just stood silent. She didn't wanna even talk at this point, not in this body.
"Psst, Donald. She's been awfully quiet." Goofy whispered in Donald's ear.
Donald tapped on Yume's arm, hoping she would say at least a 'what?'. But Yume didn't respond still, she just kept on walking like nothing happen.
"Your right, she's as quiet as a mouse." Donald whispered back.
"If only there was something we could do to lift her spirits up." Goofy said still whispering.
Donald scratch his head, thinking of what to do. Then a light bold came up on head.
"Hey Yume, I hear that they have ice cream with sweet-salty flavor. Maybe you would like to try some?" Donald said cheery.
But Yume, still didn't say anything. She wasn't even hungry anyway, she was so depress to even have a sweet-tooth.
"She's really gloomy if you ask me." Goofy said.
Donald and Goofy were sorry for her, they understood why she was too upset to even talk to them. Being in Sora's body was very extraordinary, but not in a way you would expect. Talk about not even being happy with. Some say that 'You may not like your appearance at first, but then you start you realize how it makes you. Maybe not your usually self, but something that can express the specialty of you. Your someone who is very special, and that's how you are made as.' That would make a lot of sense, for Yume she's someone who actually brought her to the world. It's completely messed up, but there must be some explanation to it.
Without even paying attention, Yume bumped into someone form behind as she fell to the ground. Donald and Goofy quickly helped her up from the dirty ground. They wiped the dirt off her, Yume grabbed the chest part of the cloak and hold it tight. Making sure this time it doesn't slip off anymore. She look up to see who she bumped into. It was a woman wearing a long red dress, her hair was pretty and long and lightly brown. She wore red lipstick, and long nails painted with the same color. She looked at Yume, in a lustful sort of way.
"You might wanna be more careful sweetie, this place has loads of strangers around." she said.
"S-sorry m'am. I wasn't paying attention. It's my fault." Yume said nervously.
"That's ok sweetie, everyone makes mistakes. Say, why are you in such a hurry anyway?" the lady asked.
"It's a long story, I don't have time to explain. I need to go." Yume tried to walk pass the lady, but she quickly grab her behind.
"Hold on there deary. No one walks away like that in a rude behavior, and why hide your face? It be better to identify you without the hood covering your beautiful face." the lady reach for the hood of the cloak Yume was wearing. She quickly back away a little so she wouldn't reveal her face.
"No!" Yume shouted.
"But why? Your face must be beautiful. You shouldn't have to hide a gorgeous face like yours." the lady asked confused.
"It's not that, I just can't reveal my face." Yume said.
"At least, explain why." the lady was loosing her patient, putting her hands on her hips.
Yume couldn't come up with a good explanation. She really wanted to just run off, but was afraid the lady would slap her for being rude. She could feel sweat coming down on her face, she didn't what to do now.
"Her face is disfigured." Donald cut in.
Yume look at him, wow he was good at making up lies. Donald wink at her.
"Yeah, that's right." Yume played along.
"She tripped on a few steps and her face landed on solid concrete. Her face got terribly damage, that's why she has to cover her face so she doesn't scare people." Goofy added.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry. You poor thing, must of been in so much pain." the lady said despairingly.
"It's ok, I went to the doctor, he said I'll get surgery done. So I can a have an even more prettier face." Yume said.
"Well, that's good. A child like you shouldn't be in such hardship." the lady said.
"No kidding." Yume thought to herself.
"If you don't mind miss, can you tell us where 3rd district is? I need to find the fairygodmother, she has some medical potion I need to take." Yume asked the beautiful lady.
"Why yes, right over there." the lady pointed at the district far from the one they were in.
"Thank you m'am." Yume said happily, she ran quickly to the next district ahead.
"Yume, wait up!" Donald said, running after her. Goofy followed them along.
"Just remember, your still beautiful. Even with a disfigured look." the lady yelled after Yume.
"Thanks!" Yume said.
"What's a keyblade?" Rhian asked.
"They say it's a powerful weapon that looks similar to a key, kupo." the moogle said.
"Interesting, where could I get one?" Rhian asked.
"It's not just any weapon you could pick up from a store sonny, kupo. It's a unique and strong fragment that can only be weild by someone who it chooses, kupo." the moogle said.
Rhian grew a frown on his face, but try not to be stern about it. It's best to understand facts without any pouts about it. That would just be childish.
"But there's another way to gain it's power, kupo." Moogle said.
Rhian blinked for a second, now he defiantly had to hear about this.
"How's that?" Rhian asked.
"They say that if you touch another's keyblade, kupo. It's ability will be transfer to you too, kupo." Moogle said.
That seem pretty easy, but if it's that easy then their must be a catch into this.
"Hold up, if it's that easy than is their a catch to it?" Rhian asked.
"There's no catch, kupo. But some also say that the keyblade is very intense weapon, kupo. It's powers could depend on it's form, kupo. There are many type of keyblades, kupo. It can become however the owner's ability is, kupo. Everyone has their own ability, kupo. Which makes the keyblade special, kupo. A keyblade could even change it's owner form, kupo. Each keyblade has a different power, kupo. But all they all have the same purpose of being wield by, kupo." Moogle explain.
Rhian was amazed by the explanation of a keyblade, but could it be dangerous? That's what made him worry inside.
"Then why is it so easy?" Rhian asked.
"The keyblade is in fact too powerful, you have to be a right and worthy person to gain it's trust in you, kupo. A wielder can start step by step, it's like a new life you have to take care of, kupo. If you don't learn how to use it properly, kupo. You'll never be able to defend yourself, kupo." the moogle explain.
"But, could you possibly learn how to use it properly?" Rhian asked.
"Why yes kupo, of course the obvious answer is training, kupo." the moogle said.
That didn't surprise Rhian much, but how would that be so obvious? A awesome weapon that can be treated like any other weapon. Well, maybe it's not too much.
"So, it won't be destructive or anything like that right?" Rhian asked.
"No, of course not. kupo. You just need to show it your thrust, kupo. Remember a keyblade is like a life to take good care of, kupo." Moogle said.
"I see." Rhian nodded. Now he understood how to be responsible of a keyblade. It was no toy, it had to be taken care of properly. He walk over to the moogle and grab it's little hand, he shook it gently. As a 'thank you' for his info.
"Thanks for the info, friend." Rhian as he walk away.
"Wait, kupo! I'm your friend, kupo? Moogle." the moogle asked.
"Of course, you help give me advise of how to use a keyblade. You really are a helpful buddy." Rhian said.
"Will we see eachother again, kupo?" Moogle asked.
"You bet, friends are never separated." Rhian said. Then he realize something he didn't get an answer to.
"By the way. Did you remember the girl's name?" Rhian asked.
"Now that you mention it, kupo. I do! Her name was Rhyme, kupo. She was kind young girl, and she had a lot of questions, kupo. But she's nowhere from this place, kupo. She told me that she came from some kind of city, kupo. Sorry, I can't remember, kupo." Moogle said sadly.
"That's ok, you should rest your thinking cap anyway." Rhian said.
He waved goodbye to moogle, and left off.
Yume, Donald, and Goofy went straight to the district where Yume met Leon. The one where there was a fountain at the corner. Yume looked around to see where the door to the fairygodmother's chambers. But all she saw was a door with a flame on it. Yume was confuse, how were they suppose to the fairygodmother now?
"That door, right there." Donald pointed at the door with the flame on it.
"Use your magic to open it." Goofy suggested.
"Ok, then." Yume summon her keyblade and point it straight at the door.
"Fire!" she shouted, then a flame came out of her keyblade and shooted at the door. It open up, revealing the musty old place that's looked familiar to the secret place at her home. The surroundings look so familiar too, she look to see where the fairygodmother was. When suddenly, floating objects were shoring above their heads. The trio jumped, they were surprised by the rare trick going on. But how was that possible?
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Did my fragments startled you?" a voice asked.
The trio turn to see where the voice came from. It lead them to a elder man with glasses and a long white bear. He wore a blue robe and a blue wizard hat. He must of been a wizard or some magical magician.
"Are you a wizard, sir?" Yume asked.
"Why yes, I'm Merlin the powerful sorcerer. I've been traveling often, and I spend most of my time studying many types of magic. It's good to see a new associate with old associates." Merlin said referring to Donald and Goofy of course.
"It's been a long time Merlin." Goofy said.
"Yeah long time, no see." Donald added.
Yume was a little too shy to speak. It was a little awkward, to be in reunion when your not your usual self.
"And who's this little one all bundle up?" Merlin asked referring to Yume.
There was a strong silence, but Yume still had to say something. It would be rude not to answer anyway.
"You know, the boy who came here before?" Yume asked.
"You mean, Sora?" Merlin asked.
"Yeah him." Yume nodded.
"Of course," Merlin said.
"I'm...his daughter, Yume." Yume muttered.
"Well I'll be, it's so fascinated to meet the keyblade master's daughter." Merlin said. He reach out his hand for a handshake. Yume kindly let out her hand, and firmly shook Merlin's hand.
"Nice to meet you dear, but why are you all bundle up? I can't even identify your face." Merlin asked.
"Well, you see. I'm not really my usual self. My friend turn me in a different form. I'm not sure if should even reveal it to you. That why I came in to find the Fairy Godmother, hoping she would find a way to change me back." Yume said.
"Alright then, she's right over there." Merlin pointed at the room, right next to his room. Where there was a door that would lead the way to her. Yume, Donald, and Goofy went into the Fairy Godmother's chamber, it was a little dark without a spic of light to be seen. The antics looked quit appealing though. Yume looked around, but there was no of a site of the Fairy Godmother. She only saw a carriage on the center on the room.
"Hello?, I'm here for the Fairy Godmother. Is she here?" Yume asked as she cupped her face with both her hands.
Then suddenly, the carriage started to turn into a elder woman wearing a lavender cloak with a hood and a pink interior. She also wore a pink bow just under her neck. She was holding a white wand that made sparkling magic dust. Yume walked up closed to get a better look.
"Why, hello there. You said you were looking for me?" the Fairy Godmother asked.
"Yes, that right." Yume said.
"What can I do take make your equates?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"I'm in the need of a cancer spell." Yume said.
"Why is that?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"I've been change into someone else, someone who's is actually related to me." Yume said nervously.
"A relative eh? Is it your sister, cousin, or mother?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"No...Sora." Yume said.
There was a short slicent.
"Well this is a pleasant knowledge. That boy was such a loving child, how is he related to you?" Fairy Godmother said.
"He's my father." Yume said. Yet so relief to get it out her chest.
"Oh my, this must be more serious than I though." Fairy Godmother said a little despair.
Yume wasn't so surprised, of course this is more rare than ever. Being in your parent's body is a extraordinary experience, no doubt about that. Even for Yume, she found it the most unusual, but she understood the reason how it was possible: Family connection.
"What's your name, sweetheart?" Fairy Godmother asked.
"Yume." Yume introduce herself.
"A beautiful name. Now in order for me understand this cleary. I must see your face." Fairy Godmother said.
Yume, was afraid to do that. It made her heart beat incredibly fast, it was a nervous-wrecking thing to do. She had to show a boy's face. But it's not like she had a choice. Yume shakily put her hands on her hood and slowly removed the hood, revealing Sora's face. The fourteen year old boy she resemble.
"So it's true." Fairy Godmother said.
"I was hoping if you had a spell, or potion that can change be back." Yume said.
The Fairy Godmother nodded kindly, she seem certain. Yume smile bright in happiness, it seem like a moment to be golly over. Yume hope the Fairy Godmother would do this right. Yume really wanted to be back into her girl body. Just at that moment, the Fairy Godmother raise her magic wand and spread magical blue dust around Yume.
"Put this young girl back into her true body, Bibbidi bobbidi boo! The Fairy Godmother sprinkled her magical blue power above Yume's head, hoping her spell will work. The same with Yume, she hoping to be back into her own body again. Yume closed her eyes as the magical powder sprinkled upon her face. She felt the warm sparkling glitter of magic dropping on her face. She smiled delightfully. She could already imagine herself being the beautiful blond hair girl. A shine light surrounded Yume as it made her body glow with light within her too. Donald and Goofy were at awe with the wonderful light shining that incredibly bright.
The light faded, her body glow with light with off, the sparkles vanish from site. Yume was so excited to see her back into her normal self, to in the body of her true appearance. The excitement turn into disappointment as she looked at herself under the brown cloak and her hand didn't even change. Her smile turn into a frown, she was the spikey-haired boy of her young father. But how was that?
"Oh my, this is more intensive." Fairy Godmother said sorrowfully.
"It didn't work." Yume said sad.
"It's not that," the Fairy Godmother.
"What do you mean?" Yume asked.
"The spell that has put you in this form, has a strong aura of darkness. So strong, my magic isn't good enough for it." Fairy Godmother explain.
That could explain that Raymond is having a strong connection of darkness. He's getting quit stronger, even by using simple spells he could be consuming to the darkness by now.
"You mean, I can't change back?" Yume said about to cry.
"No my dear, there is still another way to put you back." Fairy Godmother said.
"What is it?" Yume asked.
Fairy Godmother summon a book from the shelf, and open the chapter where she was searching for.
"This spell is so rare that it's almost never used, in order for you to be back to your right appearance, you have to become someone else and sees their tragic story." Fairy Godmother read from the book.
"What do you mean 'never used'"? Yume asked.
"The last it was used was many, many years ago. The spell was successful, but because of it's unusual effections, it was never used since then." Fairy Godmother said.
Yume raised a eyebrow, she didn't understand. How could becoming someone else change her back.
"I don't get it, how does become someone else would change be back to myself? It doesn't sense, I'm here to become me, not another person." Yume said.
"It's for you to understand another feelings by being that person. You must find the true feelings within their heart, that way you'll feel yourself inside. You'll feel the orginal you, by helping other reach their feelings your feelings will come too. Your heart will tell the different between your heart and the other's heart. If succeed in that, you'll be back in your own self." Fairy Godmother explain.
Yume understood that explanation, but was there any otherwise?
"What if I don't?" Yume asked.
"Then you'll be trap in another's body, forever." Fairy Godmother said sadly.
Yume gasped as she put her hand on her mouth. Donald and Goofy gasped too.
"But not to worry, I'm sure you'll be able to succeed, despite it being so long since the spell was used from all those long years. You'll be the second one to reveal your true self." Fairy Godmother said.
"Yeah Yume, if you were able to control the light, then you defiantly have a chance to being your ol' self again." Goofy said.
"Yeah, we have fath in you Yume." Donald said cheery.
Yume smiled at her friends, at least they believe in her. And besides, she has to do this in order for her to be herself again. She can't afford to let any risky thing hold her back. She had to be strong, like her dad.
"Alright, I'll do it." Yume said.
"Good, now let me show you who you will help, as that person." Fairy Godmother made a magical portal, showing a girl with short brown hair. She has a white garment of a white and black dress under a black jacket with gray outlines. Her shoes were pure white and pink, and fluffy socks. She wore a hair-clip on her bangs. Her arms were covered in white wristbands. Her eyes were sparkling purple, she looked very pretty. For Yume, this wouldn't be so hard to be in a pretty girl's body.
"This girl's name is Azumi, she's a kind-loving girl who loves to help others in need. But her life is being drowned in misery." Fairy Godmother introduce the young girl.
"What's that?" Yume asked still looking at Azumi.
"Her story is filled with the most awfulness you can't even imagine. Her heart is filled with darkness." Fairy Godmother said.
Yume gasped, 'A girl with darkness in her heart?'
"But she looks so nice and innocent." Yume said.
"Yes she is, but when Azumi was an infant her heart was seal with darkness. And ever since then, she's been living deep sorrow, her life has been nothing but sadness and depression. Her life is in need of full of light. And as I see it; Yume you have a strong and powerful light within you. There's no doubt that you will be able to free this girl from the depths of darkness." Fairy Godmother said.
Yume nodded and agreed, this wasn't just to change her appearance but to help some in need of light. Azumi was too kind-hearted to end up in the deepest depths of darkness, it was time to be a hero.
"Remember Yume, this task is only yours. So you'll do this on your own." Fairy Godmother said.
"You mean, Donald and Goofy can't come?" Yume asked.
"In order for you to succeed in this task, you have to do it yourself. Without any associates." Fairy Godmother explain.
Yume looked down at the ground, this wasn't goanna be so easy. But it was worth it, she had to learn to be more independent. Especially since Donald and Goofy been worrying about her too much. She didn't wanted to be treated like a little kid anyway.
"Ok then." Yume said.
"Good girl." Fairy Godmother said.
She waved her magic wand up in the air, she chanted her magical words 'Bibbidi bobbidi boo!' and summoned a magic portal, leading the way to Azumi's world. Which looked pretty much like a small town. Yume walked closer to the portal.
"Good luck." Goofy said.
"You'll do great." Donald said with a thumb-up.
"Thanks guys." Yume said.
She walked into the portal, and entered the world ahead of her. The portal disappeared behind her, not even looking back she kept up going.
Will Yume be able succeed in her mission? What about Rhian, what could he be up too? Find out on the next chapter.
A/N: Woah!, finally all done. I though I never be finish with this in time. Of course since I got another story on my hands that I gotta finish too, so the next chapter's goanna wait a while. Tell me what you think of the chapter.
