"This world...is just too small." A young man said, looking at the ocean in front of him.

Several years later...

Villains of a Sort (Kingdom Hearts)

An old man who was wearing an Organization XIV cloak was holding two kids in his arms. "There, you see? An empty world, like a prison." He set them down on a tree. "I imagine you'll be right at home." He said.

Underneath the blankets, were Ventus and Aria who had long golden hair. Hey, where are we?

Dive to the Heart (Kingdom Hearts)

"Who's there?" Ven asked.

We're a couple of brand new hearts.

"But this is...why are you in our hearts?" Aria blankly asked.

The light brought us. We saw it shining in the distance...and followed it here.

"Yeah...that was our light." Ven muttered. "But our hearts are fractured."

"And now, the little we have left is slipping away." Aria said.

Then you should join your hearts with ours.

Suddenly, the whole place they were standing on glowed brightly, as it was restored. Now our hearts have touched. Nothing else will slip away. And one day...you'll be strong enough to win back the part that already did.

"Right. Thanks..." Ven muttered.

It's time to wake up now. All we need to do now is...

"Open the door." Aria blankly said.

The place they were on lit up again, as they were on a pillar with Ventus and Aria pictured right next to each other and in that painting of sorts, Aria not only had long golden hair, but had a red shirt similar to Aqua's, and wearing dark blue shorts, she was also wearing some simple, but small round earrings and red flip flops.

Back on Destiny Islands, the old man walked away, but before he could leave, he turned his head to see Ven and Aria having their arms out and two Wayward Winds appeared in their hands. "Ah, two Keyblades!" He mused as both Keyblades fired a beam of light at them.

Aria and Ventus suddenly woke up in their beds and looked at each other. "Did we...dream that up?" Ven asked.

"I dunno." Aria shrugged. "Maybe?"

Ven looked outside and his eyes widened. "A meteor shower!" He exclaimed and took off.

"Hey, wait up!" Aria exclaimed and ran after her brother.

In the Mountain Trail near their home, they both looked at the sky. "Why does this feel so familiar?" Ven wondered.

"I dunno." Aria shrugged. "It feels...nostalgic."

Ven sighed. "Well, I'm pretty sure it's a dream." He leaned back. "I hope..." He muttered and as soon as he lay down...Aqua's face was in front of him. "WHOA!" He exclaimed and shot back up as Aria quickly turned her head. "Gimme a break, Aqua!"

Laughter and Merriment (Kingdom Hearts II)

"You hopeless sleepyheads." She giggled. "You know you should've brought a couple blankets."

"Uh, we WEREN'T sleeping, just looking at the stars." Aria told her.

"But...did we actually dream that place up?" Ven wondered. "It really felt like we've been there before...looking up at the stars."

Aqua just scratched the both of their heads. "'Cept you've always lived her with us."

"Yeah..." Aria smiled. "We know." She said as the both of them walked over to the cliff side and sat down on the edge.

"Hey, Aqua." Ven said.

"Hmm?"

"You ever wonder what stars are? Where light comes from?" He asked.

"Hmm..." She thought about it. "Well, they say-"

"That every star up there is another world." A voice interrupted her as they turned to see Terra behind them.

Friends in my Heart (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Terra." Aqua greeted.

"Yep, hard to believe there are so many worlds out there besides our own." He said and walked over to them. "The light is their hearts, and it's shining down on us like a million lanterns." He explained.

"What? I don't get it." Ven said.

"In other words, they're just like you and Aria, Ven." He said.

"What does THAT mean?" Aria wondered.

"You'll both find out someday, I'm sure." Terra said.

"We wanna know now!" Ven begged.

"You're both too YOUNG to know now, because I'm pretty sure Aria was begging too."

"Actually, I wasn't..." Aria said and glared at Ven. "I wish you stopped bringing me into these conversations..."

"Not my fault we're twins." Ven sighed. "I thought we had twin telepathy going on."

"Not right now, we're not!"

"Actually, you are." Terra teased. "I can sense it from my 'Super-Terra-twin-sensors'."

"Yeah right! That's not even a thing!" Aria told him, causing Terra to laugh..,and then Aqua laughed.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Terra asked.

"I can't help it." She said. "You three would make the weirdest siblings."

"What? There's no way I'd be related to this guy!" Aria exclaimed and folded her arms, turning her back from him...though she did blush a little as Ven noticed her blushing.

Is she sick? She's turning a little red... Ven thought.

"Oh!" Aqua exclaimed. "Terra, you and I have our Mark of Mastery exams tomorrow." She said and dug in her pockets, pulling out some good luck charms.

"Wait, are those good luck charms?" Ven asked.

"Catch." Aqua said and tossed them to Terra, Ven and Aria.

"We get one too?" Aria asked.

"Yeah, one for each of us." Aqua smiled, as Aria's little good luck charm was yellow.

"Nice, my favorite color." Aria smiled.

Aqua looked up in the night sky. "Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit...and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other." She turned to them. "Technically, I think you're supposed to make them with seashells, but I did the best with what I had."

"Oi..." Terra rolled his eyes. "Sometimes you are such a girl."

"Hey, what do you mean 'sometimes'?" Aqua asked, glaring at him.

Ven blinked. "So this isn't a real good luck charm?"

"Well, that's yet to be seen. But I did a little magic on it."

"Really? What?" Aria asked.

"An unbreakable connection." She replied with a smile.

A few minutes later by looking at the stars...

"Hey, we're gonna head back." Terra said.

"We'll come with you!" Aria exclaimed and ran off and walked right next to Terra.

Ven raised an eyebrow. Why is she always walking next to Terra? I'll never understand her... He thought and walked behind them.

Aqua looked up at the stars. "Together...always."

Meanwhile...

"Whoa...WHOOOOA!" Mickey exclaimed as he was surfing in a whirlpool of all things...and then it disappeared, and then he fell right in front of Yen Sid.

Magical Mystery (Kingdom Hearts II)

Yen Sid sighed. "Mickey...I cannot shake the feeling something terrible is about to transpire."

"Hmm?" Mickey tilted his head in confusion.

Oh Ven...if you only knew the real reason why Aria was blushing. *chuckles*
