Alison's Point of View

Brittany and I stood there for a long time, happy to be in the same room with one another, until Xemnas entered. "Alison, your father would like to talk to you. I'm to escort you to his office. Vanitas, take our guest to her room." Xemnas said. "But-" I started. Brittany leaned my way and whispered in my ear. "Go, Baldynort is calling." We both laughed loudly. I gave Brittany one last quick hug and followed Xemnas to "Baldynort's" office.

I knocked on the door. "You may come in, Alison." Dad called through the door. I entered the room. Dad was sitting at his desk, reading a book. He put the book down as I came in. "You wanted me?" I asked. "Yes, Alison. How do you feel about Brittany being here?" He asked. "Well... I love her. She's my sister. I really like being able to be with her." I replied. "All that is left is to find Molly. Now that we have Brittany, we can focus on finding her." He said. I held back a gasp. I don't want Molly getting involved. Alright Alison. You need to focus on getting information. The more information you get, the more you'll be able to tell the light and they can take it from there. "After I first came here, you said that Molly, Brittany, and myself are like spare keys to the X-blade. Are you going to try to use us for that?" I questioned. "Only if you will do it voluntarily." He answered. And then I saw it. A glimmer of something in his eyes. The way he composed himself for that moment. He was lying. Very well. Two can play at that game. I forced myself to put on a convincing smile. "I think that it's a great idea. I'll do it." I lied. "I hoped that you would. I also need you to do something for me. I need Brittany to be loyal to our cause. I want you to convince her that this is what's best." Xehanort explained. "Alright... I'll do it." I agreed. "Good. You may leave." Dad said.

When I left the room, Xemnas was waiting. "I'll take you to your room." Xemnas said. "Thank you." I thanked and then I followed him all the way back to my room. I remember Xigbar saying that Brittany's room was across from mine. I knocked on the door across from mine and sure enough, Brittany answered it. Without waiting for her to say anything to me, I marched into her room. Saix and Vanitas were there so that was convenient. "My dad wants me, Brittany, and Molly to forge the X-blade. If that happens, Xehanort wins. If we don't do it cooperatively, then I think he's going to make us." I blurted out. "Oh no! What are we going to do?!" Brittany exclaimed. "I'll tell you what we're going to do. We need an escape plan, but we need to be cautious on how we do it. If we make this about us and not about them, I think that if they catch us, the consequences will be less. I have a plan." As I told them my plan, a smile crept upon Brittany's face. "Aly, that's crazy enough that it might just work." She smirked. "We'll do it tomorrow." I stated. "But, Aly... you can't leave. What about spying?!" Vanitas exclaimed. "Vanitas, you want your revenge. I can't help you with that from here, but I do know that if he gets hold of the three of us that we won't be able to stop him." I sighed. "Yeah, but... I don't want you to leave." Vanitas grumbled. "Vanitas! Alison is doing what her heart's telling her to do. Don't interfere." Saix scolded. "Vanitas, Saix, I may not get another chance to say goodbye. I just wanted to say, thank you both so much for being there for me. Be careful." I said. "So, you said that you guys were spies? If you're spies, then someone must be receiving the information. Is it Lea?" Brittany asked. I could see her cheeks turn slightly red. "Oh, so it's okay for you to like an assassin, but I can't like Vanitas?!" I huffed. "Lea isn't and assassin." Brittany defended. "Yes he is. He killed Vexen and Zexion!" I shot back. "No, that was Axel, and besides, Replica Riku killed Zexion!" Brittany countered.

"If you two are done arguing then I'll answer your question. Yes, Lea is one of them. You should talk to him if you want more details." Saix answered. "Yes!" Brittany muttered under her breath. "Hey, um... Aly, did you say that you like me?" Vanitas asked. "Um... did I? I don't recall. Maybe I did... Why, what would you say if I did?" I asked cautiously. "I'd say that I don't like you." Vanitas said. I hung my head. I wish he did, but we barely know each other. Why would he like me. "I'd say that I love you." Vanitas blushed. I looked up in surprise. Vanitas kissed me... and I kissed him back. My first kiss... and it was with Vanitas. It was so beautiful. "Hey you two, get a room! Preferably one that isn't mine!" Brittany shouted. We both blushed.

"Aly... I'm going with you!" Vanitas exclaimed suddenly. "What?" Brittany gasped in surprised. "What about your revenge? I won't be able to guarantee that you'll get your revenge if you leave." I reminded him. "Well, it turns out that I didn't need revenge. The only thing I needed was something worth living for." Vanitas smiled. I wrapped my arms around him. "Come and find me after I leave. Make like you're tired of waiting for me to come home." I said. "I should stay." Brittany suddenly stated. "What?!" I exclaimed in surprise. "I know that we just found each other, but one of us needs to stay behind in case Xehanort captures Molly. You and Vanitas should go and be happy that you have each other. I'll stay here with Saix and help him spy." Brittany explained. "That would probably be for the best. I'm not sure that I could get Molly out by myself, and if Vanitas is going, then Brittany would be a great help to me." Saix said. "But... no! I can't lose- Mmph mmph mmph" Saix put a hand over my mouth because I was getting too loud. "This is for the best Alison. Enjoy the light. Oh, and Vanitas... keep her safe." Brittany sighed. "You can count on me." Vanitas said. Brittany grabbed something from her pocket. I gasped as I recognized the item. "Is that?" I gasped. "Yep. Mom's wayfinder. She gave it to me, and now I'm giving it to you." Brittany handed the wayfinder to me.

"We should all some rest. We have a big day tomorrow." Saix suggested. Vanitas and Saix left. I stayed behind. Brittany, can I sleep with you tonight?" I asked. "Yeah, sure." She replied. "Can you sing to me? Please?" I pleaded. "Alright." She agreed before singing one of my favorite songs.

"I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and past tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Curled up to this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound"

She finished the song and I quickly fell asleep.
