Akira's Pov

So, this is a part of the story that is hope filled, the hope of a happy future, to get married, start a family and be happy together....I think this one of my favorite parts in this story..guess what they say is that dreams do come true, right Terra? That was your dream....but let's continue from that cliff hanger I left, shall we? I know a some people are curious how this  story continues...'

" Y-Yes!" She said with a smile, looking at him, her eyes misty with happiness. He perked up and his eyes watered a bit, he felt like a little kid. He jumped up, "She said 'yes'!!" He picked her up and spun her around, happily laughing.

Everyone clapped in happiness as Aqua blushed while laughing a little as he spun them around. 

He put her down and kissed her, passionately. She smiled as she kissed him with a happy smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck. 

He pulled away with a gentle smile, "I'm so happy right now." " I am too Terra.." she said with a small smile, looking really happy.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! The fireworks are ready for ignition!" The Duke told the public, "If you want to see them, you have access to the garden and the balcony." "Let the future Mr and Mrs go first!" One man said from the crowd and the people cheered, clearing a path for Aqua and Terra. Terra smiled at them, "Thanks, everyone..."

Aqua blushed bright as she shyly smiled, really happy still. Terra led her down the path and they took a hidden place in the garden so they could watch the fireworks together. He cuddled with her as they were still in their royal attires.

Terra kissed the back of her head and wrapped his arms around her waist, his love showing through and through. 

She smiled as she said, " I love you Terra..." She told him with a bright smile, feeling so happy. "I love you too, my queen." He seriously said and hugged her from behind.

She blushed as she smiled looking up at the sky with him as they heard the bells chime as their outfits went back to normal. 

Terra sighed softly and was kinda disappointed, thinking he looked less handsome for Aqua. 

Aqua sensed this and said, " I still think you're very handsome, even when you're in a suit, your clothes you're wearing right now, or even if you wore a clown costume, I still think you're the most handsome man there is, ok Terra?" She said, turning around, smiling at him with a smile. 

Terra blushed slightly and smiled, kissing her nose, "Thank you... and you still look very beautiful and sexy." 

He smiled and looked up at the fireworks, happily. 

She smiled as they stayed there until the firework show was over as Terra was planning to travel to the next world soon as Aqua asked, " Please stay safe...ok?" She asked with a smile, holding his hand. 

"You too. I'll find Akira and Ven. They're going to be found, I promise." He smiled and nodded, happy. 

" I know...Good luck, I love you, ok?" She smiled at him. 

"Love you too." He gave her a last kiss before pulling away, walking away and summoning his keyblade glider and armor. He flew off and people started to leave for their homes. She saw a certain red and white haired boy wading through the crowds holding onto Akira's hand. Shoto sighed looking at Akira, "We have to find Aqua. Where would she be?" 

" Hmm...maybe talking to people?" She came up with as Aqua ran to them, " Akira! Shoto!! There you are!" as Akira smiled brightly, " Aqua!" She smiled, happy to see her. 

Shoto seemed nervous about meeting Aqua  again but heard her gentle voice, slightly relaxing, " Hey Aqua….I'm glad we met you here…."

" It's good to see you too Shoto...is Lova here?" She asked worried, " Why are you here alone with Akira? Did something bad happen to her?" She asked, worried as Akira looked down when she asked that. 

"...She..." He looked down and closed his eye, removing the wrap bandages to show his scar, "Dad pushed her over her limit and... when I took Akira to see her, she tried to burn Akira. It was all my fault..." He clenched his teeth, crying as his heart cracked, "Akira could have been severely hurt because of me!"

Aqua covered her mouth when she heard that Lova did that as she then gently touched Shoto's shoulder and said in a soft voice, " None of this was your fault Shoto...from what it sounds like and from what I once saw before, she snapped, her mind wasn't stable.." she explained in a quiet voice.

He looked up at her and his mismatched eyes glistened with tears. He looked back at Akira, sensing she was blaming herself too. He ran from Aqua's hand and hugged his little sister, not wanting for anyone to show him any sympathy. He felt he didn't deserve it but still comforted Akira when she cried.

Akira hugged him, some tears spilling again as Aqua frowned, thinking it was sad as she watched Akira hugging him tightly and hearing what happened.

"It's okay, Akira... It's not your fault, I swear on my life. Cross my heart and hope to die." He sniffed and tears fell down his cheeks. He felt Aqua hug them and he looked up at her. 

She sadly looked at them as she told them, " It's ok..none of this is any of your fault. None of what happened isn't your fault Akira or yours Shoto..." She said as Akira sniffed a little, trying to get rid of her tears. 

"...Is it dad's fault?" He asked, trying to wipe his tears away as he held Akira. 

"....it is possible...but perhaps he didn't mean to push her so far..." Aqua said as Akira hugged Shoto tightly. 

"I don't know... He's mean and he pushes me. He does have respect for her from what I saw after Akira left..." He explained, looking down. 

"..." She hugged them close, being gentle as she felt pity for Lova. "Um, excuse me, children... But I need your help!" The fairy godmother appeared, needing aid. Shoot looked up to her and blinked, sniffing and wiping his tears.

Aqua looked up as Akira looked at her and asked, " W-Who are you...?" She asked in a meek voice. 

"I'm the Fairy Godmother. I still think Cinderella is in trouble, Aqua." She talked to Aqua like she knew her. " Is something the matter?" She asked, looking worried.

"I'm afraid Lady Termaine might find out Cinderella was at the ball. She almost recognized her during the dance between the Prince and Cinderella!" She said, nervous. 

" Oh no!" Aqua gasped, looking worried as Akira asked, " What's going on..?" She asked, confused. 

"Cinderella went to this ball here when I made her dress beautiful. Lady Termaine, Cinderella's stepmother, and her other two daughters were the ones who almost made her not come to the ball even though Cinderella really wanted to." She told them, "I sense the three of them have a darkness inside them." Shoto looked at Aqua, "Where does Aqua come in?" 

" Yeah, what does Aqua have to do?" Akira asked as Aqua asked, " I'll try and find Cinderella then, and try to protect her then, from her step family...right?" 

"Yes. Thank you dear." She nodded and Shoto clenched his fist. "I wanna help too. I have my ice. I can do this." 

" I wanna help too!" Akira said, having her ice powers too as Aqua said, " No, it's too dangerous for you 2." She said, not wanting them to get hurt.

" I wanna help too!" Akira said, having her ice powers too as Aqua said, " No, it's too dangerous for you 2." She said, not wanting them to get hurt. 

"Uh-uh." He shook his head no. 

"..." Aqua sighed as she said, " just stay close to me, ok?" She asked them. 

Shoto nodded and the fairy godmother lead the way to Cinderella's house. 

Akira still held onto Shoto's hand as they walked together as Aqua sent a message through the Wayfinders, using there bond as it was a way for Ven and Terra to let them know that Akira was safe and ok as they walked there they ran into Unversed. Aqua gasped as she summoned her Keyblade as she slashed at one as she told Shoto and Akira, " Stay away from them, alright? There dangerous!" 

Shoto nodded and stepped forward. He launched a huge ice barricade at them, which took out the ones that didn't dodge. 

Akira held a hand out as frost came from her arm as spikes of ice came from the ground as it stabbed the Unversed as Aqua was surprised how strong Shoto and Akira were together as she slashed at the bigger ones that got too near the siblings. 

More small Unversed kept showing up and Shoto growled keeping up with the ice attacks, refusing to use his other half. Soon, his powers were getting weaker as his body temperature was decreasing. Frost and ice clinged to his body as he trembled. He was still determined to win the fight. He ran slower as well. 

Akira's arms were covered in frost and ice as she was starting to have a hard time using her quirk as well as a Unversed was about to jump at her before it stopped and ran away, as Aqua killed off the rest of them, as the one Unversed that was about to jump them was gone, as Aqua asked, " Are you 2 ok?" She asked worried. 

"Y-yeah... Can the keyblade produce fire for us?" Shoto asked, hugging Akira and trying to keep her warm. 

Akira hugged him as his right side heated them up a little as Aqua nodded as she held out her Keyblade and said, " Fire." As some fire came from the Keyblade, as she kept it at the top of the Keyblade to keep it from hurting them just in case. 

Shoto smiled and brought Akira closer to it, "Thank you. Can you teach Akira this magic so she can keep herself warm? She does have dad's blood in her veins so maybe learning fire would be easy for her." 

" I can try, but it might take some time for her to learn." Aqua told them as the frost and ice on Akira's arms slowly disappeared. Shoto slowly nodded and tried to stay awake, as he was waiting for his turn for the flame. He looked around. "W-we might have t-to get rid of the ice some no one can know about t-this."

Shoto slowly nodded and tried to stay awake, as he was waiting for his turn for the flame. He looked around. "W-we might have t-to get rid of the ice some no one can know about t-this." 

" I can get rid of it in a minute, you need some heat too.." she said as Akira was one warmed up as she brought the flame near him to help heat him up.

He closed his eyes and couldn't feel the heat. He was numb. Despite that though, it was working and melting the ice. He looked at Akira, opening his eyes, "Akira, are you still feeling cold?" 

She shook her head no, " Not really, I only get really cold when my arms have frost and ice and them..." she told him. She shook her head no, " Not really, I only get really cold when my arms have frost and ice and them..." she told him.

"Okay... I'm glad you're okay." He smiled and yawned, kind of sleepy.

Akira smiled a little as she asked, " Are you tired Shoto?" She asked him. "Yeah, but we can't stop now." Shoto said, "Cinderella's still in trouble."

" Yes...we should almost be there." Aqua said as they kept walking as they eventually found the mansion as Fairy Godmother was there. 

"Hurry to the attic! But to be sure you won't get caught..." She shrunk them, "You guys will half to be care and talk to a mouse name Jack." 

" Alright. You 2 keep close to me, ok?" She told Shoto and Akira as Akira nodded. 

Shoto nodded and followed her, using his sheath lessons Enji gave him to make sure no one else was around or anything like that.

Akira still held his hand as they made there way in there through the walls as they got into the house and saw Jaq. 

" Cool! Mouse!" Akira giggled a little. 

"Are you Jaq?" Shoto asked and he nodded. "Yes-yes! I has been trying to save Cinderelly and find the key to her door!" "...A key." Shoto looked at Aqua. 

" Has she been locked up in her room?" Aqua asked, frowning. They all then heard the Duke's voice say, " I've come here to find the woman who's foot will fit in this show, so I need all the young woman that live here to try on the slipper." They heard as Jaq started to panic. 

Aqua then got a idea as she asked Shoto, " Shoto, you can use your ice quirk with Akira, right?" She asked him 

"Yeah?" Shoto asked curiously. 

" Do you think you could follow Jaq to where Cinderella's room and try and get the door to open to get her down there? I'll try and stop them from leaving." she told them. 

"Yeah. What are you going to do?" Shoto asked and held Akira's hand. 

" Well...I guess I'm going to have to try on a shoe. " she said with a sheepish smile 

"..." Shoto blinked and sighed, "Okay... But we need to go. Jaq, lead me and Akira to the room where Cinderella is held!" 

" Zug-Zug! Follow me!" Jaq said as they ran up to the room together as Aqua ran to the top of the stairs as she saw the step sisters trying to put the slippers on. She waited for awhile as the Duke asked Lady Tremaine, " Are there any other girls in this household?" He asked her. 

"There's no one else, your grace." She said, lying about it. 

" C'mon Jaq..." She whispered in worry as Aqua was about to take a step forward she felt herself grow very tall as she was surprised causing her to fall forward and tumble down the stairs as she landed on the ground as she looked up and saw everyone staring at her as she then tried to think of something as she said, " U-Um...I would like to try on the shoe...please?" She said, secretly face palming in her mind.

"Who are you?" Lady Termaine glared at her. "Your grace this girl is not a member of this household."

" Let her go first, please." Aqua said as he nodded as he walked near her still holding the slipper as Lady Tremaine then tripped him making him drop the shoe, causing him to drop it and it breaking into glass to everyone except Lady Tremaine and her daughters horror. 

"Oh! I have the other one right here!" She pulled out the other glass slipper and smiled. "W-what?!" Lady Termaine said and Shoto grinned, running down the stairs with Akira. "She made it in time!" 

" Yippee!!" Akira cheered in happiness as Aqua smiled as the Duke kissed the shoe happily, as she placed it onto Cinderella's foot and it was a perfect fit as it meant that the prince would marry Cinderella. 

"Aqua!" Shoto waved at Aqua with his free hand as Jaq and Gus were on his head. "Yeah! Hip-hip-horray!!" The mice cheered.

Aqua laughed a little as she smiled as the Duke escorted Cinderella out of the house with a smile as Akira cheered with the mice and Shoto as Lady Tremaine and her daughters were filled with jealousy.

Shoto ran up to Aqua with Akira, smiling widely, "Did we do good?" 

" You 2 did great." She said as she held there hands as they walked outside as they then heard Cinderella scream in the woods as they saw the Duke running to them as he said, " A-A monster! It took Cinderella and went off with her!!" He explained as Aqua narrowed her eyes as she ran ahead as she said, " Stay here and wait! We'll go help her." She told him.

Shoto cracked his knuckles and summoned his ice, "One for all and all for one... Ready, Akira?"

She nodded with a determined look on her face, " Yeah!" She said as Aqua summoned her Keyblade as they found the big Unversed as it looked like a carriage.

After the battle, they escorted both the Duke and Cinderella to the castle as the prince and Cinderella hugged each other, happy as Aqua, Akira and Shoto sat a distance away, watching this unfold as Aqua smiled at the scene. 

" No, there kissing." Aqua laughed a little, " You give a kiss to someone you care about." She told him

"Like you or my sister? Sorry, I'm just confused..." Shoto scratched his head, confused as he said. " You'll understand when your older...promise." she told him, gently ruffling his hair with a soft smile

"Uh... Okay?" He looked back at Cinderella and the Prince. Some gleaming hit his eye so he looked at the source. He saw Aqua's engagement ring shinning the moonlight. 

Akira noticed it too as she asked, " What's that?" She asked as Aqua smiled as she said, " A ring...Terra gave it to me." She said, a happy look on her face.

"Why?" He asked curiously, looking up at her. 

" Well... when someone you love gives you a ring, they want to be with you for the rest of your life. And he gave one to me, because I live him, and he loves me." She told him with a smile.

" But....I need to get you 2 back to your homes though...you can't stay with me forever. Alot of people have been worried about Akira and you too Shoto.." she said, standing up with a small frown

"What?" Shoto pouted, "Where do we go? I don't wanna go home!" 

" You don't have to go back to your house...we can figure out a different place for you 2 to stay at." She told them. 

Shoto blinked and looked up at her, "Where? Can we stay with you?" " You can't, it would be to dangerous.." she said, trying to think.

Shoto looked down and teared up, "I... I wanna go see mama... M-mama was kind. S-she didn't mean to do this!" 

"..." Aqua looked at him sadly, already knowing Lova wasn't stable enough to take care of him or Akira as she sighed and said, "...you 2 can stay with me...until I figure out where you 2 should go, ok?" She asked Akira and Shoto as she then noticed Akira was dozing off a little, sleepy.

Shoto felt a little tired too and yawned, sitting on the ground, "Can we spend the night here?"

"..." She didn't know what to say at first. 

" Ah....I'm going to call someone real quick..." She told them as they sat down on the fountain as Akira and Shoto fell asleep, Akira on Shoto's shoulder and Shoto was asleep on her head as she got her phone out as she called Terra and Ven to try and get in contact with them

"Aqua?" Ven picked up, "What's up?" "Yeah, I'm driving to the next world... But hold on, I can pull over..." Terra said. After a few minutes he came back on, "So what's going on?" 

" So uh...good news, I found Akira..." She said, her voice slightly higher then usual. " Also..how far are you 2 from Castle of Dreams? I may need some help.." she said, a bit nervously.

"I'm in another world called Olympus Coliseum and I just landed, but I can come back!" Ven said cheerfully. "I can turn around quickly... I'll get there as fast as possible!" Terra said, which made Aqua worried for Terra.. 

"Yeah! I can race ya Terra!" Ven giggled. " No it's fine! Please don't rush over here please!" She asked them, worry in her voice."Ah man! I wanted to race!" Ven said, pouting. Terra sighed, "Ven, listen to Aqua. She knows best."

" Please Ven?" Aqua asked him in the nicest voice possible. "...Fiiiine. But hey! Why do you want us to come back? And plus I'm trying to get Terra to come home!" Ven said. Terra sighed and hung up. 'Line disconnected.' "...Did I say something wrong?" Ven asked, feeling bad.

" I don't think you did....look, how about we just met up in Radiant Garden? If Terra calls at all, and I don't respond, I'll probably be trying to travel through the lanes with 2 kids, ok?" She asked with a sigh. 

"Two ki- AHHH!!" Ven suddenly screamed, "I-I'll get to you and Terra soon as possible! There's Unversed here! Okay, bye!" Ven hung up quickly. 'Call ended.'

She sighed as she whispered, " Please be safe you 2..." She said as she got her armor on and made her Keyblade into a glider as she picked both Shoto and Akira as they slept as she made her way to Radiant Garden with them. 

Meanwhile on Ven's end...

Ven finished fighting against the Unversed as he saw 2 little girls talking to each other as he noticed one girl looked just like Akira, confusing him a little.

The girl that looked like Akira sensed someone was watching them and meet eyes with Ven. She blankly stared at him which he didn't even see any act of emotion anywhere in her being. "Tsu, who is that?" The girl pointed at Ven, which made him flinch. "U-uh... hi." "You're a stranger. So get lost." The girl who looked like Akira said.

" Oh~ another blondie~!! Can I kill him? Pleeaassee?" The girl with pigtails in her hair begged the girl that looked like Akira, with big puppy dog eyes. 

"W-what?!" Ven nervously stepped back. The first girl stood up with a smirk, with a sign of mischievousness and anger. "Maybe not kill but torture him? The question is how Uta and Shōtsu do so. Adults deserve it anyway... Oh but wait! He looks like he's still a kid yet turning into one? ...so maybe... teen teasing?" The girl asked and insanely giggled. "W-what the hell?!" Ven ran as fast as he could and the girls ran after him. He panted as he came to a hiding place, covering his mouth and nervously sweating.

Shotsu pouted as she said, " Aw, blondie got away...." she said, holding her knife," I was so looking forward to see him bleed.."

"I thought we agreed on no killing." The other girl deadpanned, still sensing Ven, "Plus, he was a teen. Dad says teen souls are so rare that he usually let's them roam the earth..." Ven stayed quiet as possible as he listened to them talk. 

" I wasn't going to kill him!  Maybe see his arm bleed just a little...but what's so important about teen souls again?" she asked, still pouting. 

"Dad said there souls are more bendable than adults and children put together... Not just their soul, but their mind, heart, and body..." She looked at his hiding spot and grinned a psycho grinned, "And I wanted to see it for myself. I wanna bend him until he breaks... til he can only think about one thing... Well, daddy told me all men think about it anyway." Ven did not like the sound of that. Who's children were they supervised under? Ven peeked out and saw the first girl meet eyes with him. Ven gasped and quickly ducked back in his hiding space. The first girl narrowed his eyes and walked closer to his spot. Ven took a risky move and ran pasted the two kids. The first girl jumped up and threw a throwing star at his leg, which hit it. Ven grunted and tripped over his foot. The star dug into his skin and Ven screamed out in panic. The girl landed and sighed, fixing her hair to were her hair was out of her face. Ven panicked and tried to crawl away, dialing for Aqua or Terra.

Aqua picked up first as she asked," Ven? What's going on? Is something wrong?" She asked as Shōtsu squealed as she saw blood, " Yay!! He's bleeding!" She cheered. 

"I-I'M GONNA BE A LITTLE LATE!! SOME PSYCHO KIDS ARE TRYING TO KILL ME- HEY!!" Ven shouted when the first girl took his phone. She put it up to her ear, "Hello?" Her voice was so deadpan. 

" Who are you, and what have you done to Ven?" Aqua growled lowly.

"Ven? ...So that's his name... Well, my name is Uta." Aqua froze at that name. Why did it sound familiar? "Me and my friend are going to paint the worlds red with despair. Nothing personal, darling... It's just the adults don't have good taste. The teens will serve us and all the adults will go away to dad's home."

"And why are you guys doing this?" Aqua growled as she stopped her glider from moving as Uta

 started humming as she tied Ven up with rope a evil and joyful smile on her face. 

Ven struggled with them and glared at them. Uta smiled dropped a her emotions went away. "To make sure they don't abandon another child. They will pay for it... They will pay~" Uta giggled suddenly and hung up. She put the phone back in Ven's pocket. Uta used a sleeping gas to him and Ven gasped, feeling sleepy. He tried to fight against it but sleep over took him. 

" What should we do Uta-chan~" she giggled,  looking at the sleeping boy. 

"In order for us to get him to listen to us, we should give him a certain... motivation." She crossed her arms and thought of something. "...Maybe we should get dad's motivation machine ready."

Ah yes, the famous motivation that scarred Ven and a certain brunette I know for life...well, they turned out okay, and moved on from it. Till next time, see you.'
