I wrote this at the end of 2020 during COVID.

That year I gave myself a goal to write 1 each month for 12 in a year. 

I had got a job working at a Safway in September, for this to take time away from me to not acomplish that goal. I was fired the next year for non-valid reasons and the employees to do some awful evil things for no reason to me. 

However, I did write 10 in that year! I am nearly at 4 dozen ending the 2026 year!

I thought I had this one on my site already, but guess I didn't. 

This is a FanFiction for the Kingdom Hearts Franchise. Paisley is Master Yen Sid's granddaughter and best friends with Mickey!

I did write this before ever playing KH:3. I did not have a PS4 until the end of 2020. I still do not have a PS5 in 2026. But, I have played about 500 games in my life. One of those things, if I had more time I would go back to. Yes, living with my BF since Aug of 2025, and us dating going on 3 years by 2027, my time goes for him C:

This was my 1st Video Game FanFiciton. My College Professors would say, Adaptaion, and I disagree. 

I do not fully own the rights to this, as it is Disney, Final Fantasy, and Square Enix.

But! 

I do own the rights of Paisley and her story.

I am willing and ready to ever sell or collaborate with them.

Come on Haley Joel Osment! Help me out here, ha!

Why I have never reread through it or done any screenplays for it.

I did not start learning screenplays until Summer of 2026. 

The Character Ten is based off of Ten from NCTU and WayV with SM Entertainment.

Taiel is based off of Taeil from NCT 127 and NCT. Sad what happened to him. I feel he could be with Disney Still. NCT 127 was on their payroll. I also know EXO has a collaboration that was done for StarWars.

BEST PART!

Kingdome Hearts II, almost had EXO planet for EXO. At the end of POWER, BY EXO, Baekhyun, from EXO and SuperM, is dressed as Sora.

And my Fav, Taeyong, leader of NCT and was a memeber of SuperM, had photos taken dressed as Roxas. They have become somewhat hidden and lost, because it was one of his photos for The Most Handsome Faces somewhere bwteen 2017-2022. 

FUN FACTS!

I did write 8 of my earlier works ending with wings. Someone said to do that as a style. I tried, to now have different endings for a lot of my earlier work. This does end with flying off though. My book and up till this one, not ocutning my over 300 rhymes and poems, do end with wings. 

Just like I used to put NCT and EXO memebrs in them. I stopped becasue of racist people who stop when they saw a korean man's name and they said unrealistic. F-them! It's type casting. Who would they make or choose then? Huh? 

This is a story about Paisley. The grandaughter of the Great and all powerful Master Yen Sid! His powers have skipped a genration to pass down to her. She tragically looses her family, safe by her magical powers and being able to wield a Keyblade, when the Disney Castle is attacked with darkness. Being forbid to leave the palace Paisley attempst o break out. Breaking magic laws, Master Yen Sid grounds her for a very long time. During this time, she still trains and practices. Her grandfather has special doors for doing so. Eventually, Paisley is able to leave the castle and battle against darkness alongside her friends. This is where she learns she has been going to other worlds 

“This is a story, one many do not know of, but so many more believe in. Sometimes, we do not get what we want. We get and face the unexpected. In the end, how the universe plays out is always do to our actions. Not always, but sometimes, these are out of our control.” An old raspy male voice speaks as a cloud of multicolour flaunts in the vast space. “Let me introduce myself. They call me Master Yen Sid!”

An old sorcerer is shown having a long grey beard in blue robes inside a tower within the cloud. Upon his head is a tall pointed hat having  a crescent moon in the front, above the forehead, and many stars decorating the rest. He is standing over a large cauldron in a dark room. He slams a bunch of ingredients within it to cause a cloud of smoke to arise from it having thunder and lighting almost immediately. His hand moves about the cauldron more as an image gathers from the smoke it in the shape of a wraith almost. A young female child with pink hair looks into the room stealthily.

“Yes. That’s my granddaughter, Paisley!” The old man speaks. “I know she’s spying on me. Something she has always done any chance she’s be given to. Her curiosity is good, but I fear for her over it.”

The image made of smoke out of the cauldron turns into the shape of a butterfly and illuminates itself and the area with of a rainbow of colours!

“I drew tired of my magic practice this day. But, it’s also a day I will never forget.” The old man speaks. He yawns and ceases the magic of the cauldron. He removes his pointed hat to be laid on the table nearby. Paisley creeps up behind him as he proceeds up a stone spiral staircase. When the old man is so far up them, she smiles. Looking back into the room form the opposite direction of the stairs she smiles greatly! Paisley tip toes to the magical hat calling out to her with its magical luminosity. Paisley picks up the magical glowing hat and places it upon her head! All sorts of magic began to admit like fireworks. Her body absorbed so much. “Paisley, is my true descendant! Long had I awaited this. But, what I didn’t know was how much longer I still had to wait.”

As the hat rested upon Paisley’s head, the blue quickly turned to pink! The golden stars and crescent moon went from gold to silver coloured fast. The entire room disappeared by magic to have her in an area filled with grey clouds of uncertainty. At first, Paisley is confused, but quickly conquers. She moves her arms out to the side and raises them above herself. A tidal wave explodes around her! Many feminine figures appear. She curtsies to one and starts to dance with it. The old man watches stealthily from the bottom of the spiral stairs leaned up against the wall peeping into the room at Paisley. This is the 1st time his hat has ever allowed anyone to use its magic. More so, why has it changed to pink from his blue? This was never seen before.”

Paisley walks into the unknown surroundings of colourful magical clouds. She stops when a bolt of lighting stops her path. Looking into it, she sees all of her feminine forms appear. Joining them in their dance, she is quickly lost. Magic exhorts all over. Paisley is happy and joins in as if it natural to her.

Eventually, another magical forms of a male. He bows reaching a hand out to her. Paisley grabs it. Magic fills the area as the two dance with one another.

“I'd like to say this was the only time something like this happened… it wasn’t.” Clouds fill the area and show the room of Mast Yen Sid again. A human like mouse dressed in a red robe with a rope, carries buckets to a well and looks into the room witching Master Yen Sid. Just as Paisley, the mouse waits for the master to leave and puts on the hat! He casts a spell on a nearby broom to help aid him in carrying buckets of water. “This is my apprentice, Mickey! Very loyal and filled with curiosity just as Paisley. Having much to learn.”

The colourful clouds fill the area again and the memory goes back to Paisley dancing. She spins out away from her partner and when she looks back, she sees Master Yen Sid. Immediately, she stops and all the magic ceases. She removes the hat and hides it behind her back. Slowly, she creeps up to him bowing slightly and holds the hat out in her hand. She looks down in shame. He chuckles and as she looks up, he falls to his knees hugging her greatly. “Paisley, you are magnificent. Such extraordinary talent! You truly are my granddaughter and take after me.” He stands up smiling looking down at her as she smiles looming up at him. “but!” He crosses his arms and looks very serious. Paisley leans her head back some while squishing her chin into her neck. “No more magic without my permission!” He grabs the hat that turns back to blue in his hands. Examining it, he walks away. “Go to sleep little one. Tomorrow, I shall give you your first lesson. Sweet dreams!” He laughs.

“Over a course of many years I spent countless hours teaching Paisley. All areas and forms of magic. Not easy, often with disasters, but eventually she mastered them all herself. Her biggest mischief was always when I was away from the castle. Someone like me is often needed places. Paisley would always get mad whenever I had to leave, but she didn’t realize back then why. She would take to pestering her other brother and younger sister. Occasionally, her parents. Now, my son… I love him dearly, but he never grasped magic. Out of all of my descendants, Paisley was the 1st to take after me fully! I knew this on the day she was born.” After seeing some fast clips of Paisley and her family, it jumps back to the day she was born. Baby Paisley was born with a full head of pink hair! She is handed to the master to be held. He is full of happiness and looks into her eyes. The two connect and share a vison. A giant crystal sphere surrounds them and fills with colours. The two can not seen until it shatters sprinkling crystal dust all over the area gently.

“Paisley…” Master Yen Sid holds her out in front of him below her arms. He has a face of sadness for a moment until her brother tugs on his robe.

“Grandpa, what’s the matter? What just happened?” Thr brother asks.

“I uh… you see…” He takes a deep breath. “Paisley has a destiny! It has been selected for her right now. Unfortunately, for her protection, she may never step foot outside of the castle grounds.”

“Never ever?” The brother asks.

“Not in your lifetime.” The master hands Paisley back to her mother. “Please excuse me. I must consort with my knowledge over this phenomenon. I wish it were not so.” He walks away with his hands behind his back tucked into the sleeves if his robe slightly hunched.

Paisley was never outside of the castle grounds. She always felt left out and sad being stuck. She tried over and over to leave. A magical force field prevents her from leaving. No matter how much magic she uses, or any tactic, she would be repelled off the wall to stay within the area of the castle.

Growing up, when Paisley was left home when her family would go on vacations or events outside of the castle, she would take to exploring areas typically off limits or attempts to try and break the barrier outside. Many times she failed over and over. Spells, blunt force, and more often from Master Yen Sid showing up to intervene. His tower was not always at the castle and often left with him when he traveled. If Paisley was abusing magic or attempting against the bind that kept her their, he would show up instantly to scold her.

Of course, anytime Master Yen Sid left, sometimes years at a time, Paisley would beg and beg or attempt or stow away to go with. On some occasions, he would allow it, but more often, the same magic would keel her bound to her castle. When he would enter certain magical dimensions, she would be allowed to enter with him. If he did travel outside of their kingdom, she would be bounced back, stuck, inside the castle. Throughout her life, she always faced the same results, over and over.

Whenever Paisley faced defeat, she would just fall to he butt and sit. Sometimes hours would pass. Sitting their thinking over other tactics or strategies, would overwhelm her mind. One day, when she was young, Paisley had concocted a device to attempt to escape. It was large, made of wood and other items. When her family was away on one of their vacations she built it. Directly in front of the main gate to the road leading to the nearby town. It winded down a hill with a forest surrounding them. The gate was 50 feet tall made of multiple metal rods being decorated on their ends. It was made of two connecting pieces, each having deciding shapes down to the exterior fence it left entry for on its sides. In the lower bottom half center was a large lock. The spacing between the bars of the gate were large enough for her to pass through, but Paisley could not due to the magical force field. She tries, as usual, to put her hand through for it to be prevent.  Paisley’s device derived both a key and battering ram effect. She climbs upon her machine in a seat she has ser for her adjustments. The guards make their attempt to intervene to quickly succumb to magic, by Paisley, turning them into various animals. She puts om some glove, turns on the machine, and lowers some goggles over her eyes. The tips of the device begins to rotates to fast for the eyes to see as the rest moves toward the lock slowly.

Not to far outside of the castle grounds a young boy is stalking a deer. It is grazing in a beam of sunlight surrounded by birch trees. Some bunnies surround, birds are singing in the trees, and bees surround a nearby patch of flowers. He has flat piece of wood, rounded at the edges, attached to his backside. His clothing has many repairs by patches upon it, a hat that drapes off to the side bent, and shoes that have holes in them. He sneaks up behind the deer. Just as it looks up the deer is alerted, the boy tackles it to the ground.

“Gotcha!” The young boys yells. He wrestles for a moment and stands up laughing. The deer kicks forest ground toward him and struts around. The birds dance around him as he become bashful from other forest creatures pecking at him. Suddenly, he hears a loud grinding! An immense amount of magic erupts not to far by. He looks. All of the animals, and him, rush off running as one toward it. His eyes become nervous as he sees the fence of the castle. The main gate for that matter he is running up the path toward. When so close, he stops and examines the whole gate. Knowing going passed he could possibly face unknown consequences, the machine explodes. He sees Master Yen Sid's tower appear within the castle. At the same time, he sees the machine explode with Paisley flying through the air. The boy rushes himself between the gates. Positioning himself perfectly, he catches Paisley in his arms out slightly to his sides looking up. Her legs land over an arm as her back side over the other. Not stumbling too much, they look at one another as he embraces her close to him falling to his knees. A clash of thunder with lightning breaks their gaze from Mast Yen Sid's tower. He shows up next to them by a grey colourful cloud. The boys spots the bottom of the robes first and looks up slowly. He sees the serious face od the master and drops Paisley bowing to him.

“I’m sorry, master! Please forgive me! I… I… only reacted by instinct.” The boy pleas on his hands and knees.

Paisley stands up fast. She fixes her garments and rushes to the master without fear. “Grandpa! It’s not fair! I don’t like being left alone! You know that!” she crosses her arms and sits in her legs sideways facing from the master. “Looking down pouting as she starts to cry, “I hate this… I hate this so much!” The rest of her body falls to the ground as she cries. The boy looks up seeing her crying om the ground before her. He is mesmerized looking ag her with many of his animal friend gathered nearby watching. The master looks at him directly, causing him to return to a how ceasing the eye contact.

“Paisley!” Thunder and lighting emit around the master's tower behind him in the castle. The boy peeks up to see him smiling at him before looming seriously at Paisley. “You know you may not permit outside of the castle grounds.”

“I know!” Paisley takes an aggressive stance toward him. “This was of my own doing! Leave this boy alone!”

More thunder and lighting emits! Sid holds his arms out to the side. The boy flinches back to a praise as Paisley stands up strong against him. “Please!”

“Silence!” The master's voice echoes loudly! Paisley drops to her hands and knees bowing to the master.

“I'm sorry!” Paisley begs and starts to cry. “I’m so dick of this place! It looks so beautiful outside of here. I hate being alone…” The boy looks to his side at her and feels her pain. At the same time, he looks up ay the master in fear to return to bowing.

Within the boys mind, he hear the master speak to him directly through thought. “Leave now boy! Now!” The master shouts. The boy stand up fast, bows, and takes off running. Between the bars of the fence he easily leaves. All of the forest animals nearby join him as he flees. The entire area fills with the grey colourful cloud with thunder and lighting. The boy stops to look back. He hears the voice the last words of the master repeat and he returns to running.

Back at the castle, the master raises his arms high into the sky. Thunder and lighting emit, “Paisley! I have warned you once, I have warned you twice. To face this more than thrice, I can not be nice!” The master emits much magic to engulf Paisley. Both return to the main portion of his tower around the cauldron. Creature appear. Some of the fearing shadow and some of blinding light. Paisley quick reacts with magic to disperse of them all.

The boy runs till he finds the more stable portion of the road. He pulls out his piece of wood rounded on the edges he kept behind his back. He starts to slide down the steep slanted hillside back toward the nearby town. Dodging other carts, carriages, trees, animals, and boulders he hits a mound launching him to the center of the town after a long surf through the air. Lending in a giant bail of hay, he emerges from it shaking himself clean. Crawling out fast, the boy see's a nearby human like mouse walking by holding his mother’s hand skipping with it’s father pulling a cart full of fish pulled by a yak. The boy rushes forth toward the young mouse and taps his shoulder. The mouse turns around fast, excited, hugging the boy. The mouse asks his mother and father for permission, both nod yes allowing him run off.

“Mickey! You will never believe who I just met!” The boy shouts to his friend as they run.

“What? Tell me Ten! You’re so full of… Light! And life!” The mouse asks. The two friends stop and look at ine answer smilingly.

“I met her!” Ten drops to his knees, being eye level closely to his best friend. “I met Paisley!”

“Really?” Mickey is excited and intrigued. “Tell me all about it!” Ten stands up and the two walk into the forest as Ten tells Mickey what happened.

Paisley eliminates all of her foes. For a second, she turns to a strike toward her grandfather and stops. She falls to her knees looking down. “I'm sorry…” She begins to cry. The area, filled with magic, disperses. The master walks up to her. Paisley looks up at him with a face full of tears.

“Why.. Why must I feel this pain?” Paisley pleas. The master stares at her with no reaction or emotion watching her continue to express her feelings.

This was not the 1st time she encountered Ten. He made it a habit to run into her often. More being to be of her aid.

Paisley mastered her lessons over and over. One day when she was inside a magical barrier that became consumed by dark magic. Master Yen Sid immediately reacted with very power magic! The two collided resulting in an explosion. The tower erupted and crumbled. The master did his best to stop it in motion while reversing the effects repairing the castle as new. Paisley was no where to be seen and he began to panic!

“Paisley! Paisley! Answer me! Please! Paaaisley!” Master Yen Sid was so frantic. A sparkle appears as the smoke disperses fully. It grows large and Paisley is standing holding a young boy’s hand. He has long fairy wings that are transparent with a rainbow glow and sparkle to them. Specs fill the surrounding area around them both as they animate. Paisley is looking around confused. Master Yen Sid smiles and relaxes.

“To you I have been called. No matter what, when you fall, I will be there, here, anywhere. When you cry, I will shine. Forever to you, I am bind, until the day you die.” The boy speaks to Paisley as they face one another. “My name is Taeil (Ta-le, Tail). I'm your fairy Godbrother!”

“Fairy Godbrother?” Paisley questions and looks confused at him and her grandfather.

“Yes! Paisley! Your heart it pure! Your will is strong! I see…” Master Yen Aid closes his eyes. He places the tips of his fingers on his forehead with one hand and starts to flex the other in front of his body in various places. “I see… I see…” He stops. “I see destiny….” Paisley and Taiel look at one another. Master Yen Sid looks at them both and nods slowly.

“Grandpa, I'm confused. What’s the difference between a fairy and fairy…fairy…Godbrother?”

“Oh! I can answer that!” Taeil gets excited and rushes away from them both equally in amount for distance he clears his throat. Be places his hands on his hips, with his legs parallel with his shoulders. He looks up boldly and heroically, “My name’s Taiel! I am a god fairy. Strictly assigned to Princess Paisley. To protect and watch! To aid and prepare! Count on me and I'm always there!” He disappears and reappears next to Paisley grabbing her should as he leans into her from the side, “A friend u til the end. This is not pretend!” He disappears and appears next to Master Yen Side floating beside him with an arm around him.

Master Yen Sid and Taeil speak simultaneously, “Full of magic, full of power, I/he stands before you at this hour!”

Taeil flies up in a twisting motion above them both starting to sing, (Just a 1st rough draft) “My name is Taeil and I've come your way, to greet you on this glorious day! My name is Taeil and I just want to say, you've made my day by being here, I mean, with me being here, well. With us being here to guide each another on our waaaaaay!”

Paisley is excited by his singing and flying about the area of dancing and joins in. “You name is Taeil! Okay! I'm not really sure what’s going on but I'll give it a try. Why not! I' want to go your way! I will always remember this day! I will listen to what you have to say! If I may… are you here to stay? I mean like here with me always?” Taeil flies in front of her. He bends his legs to hover with wings flapping fast humming he taps her noes with his finger having many specs of magic from them both on contact.

“You see here princess, my job is to make sure you do your best, look your best, do all that I can to pass anything life has to dish out of tests!” Taiel responds.

“Tests?” Paisley questions.

“Not now!” Master Yen Sid shouts.

“Okay! As I have said, my name is Taeil and I have come to say, I am here to help you along the way. Everyday, if it’s needed. Do not expect it if it is coincided. I will only be here when it is truly needed!”

“You are here for me, I can not believe it! But, see the reason behind it and will not treason! I accept it, I adore it, I implore that you tell me moooooore!” Paisley.

“More? What more can I say? You must wait to see what’s… in… stoooooore!” Taeil disappears in magic after himd his last word out strongly in song.

“Did you see that Grandpa! I have a fairy Godbrother!” Paisley runs up to Master Yen Sid with a face full of intriguing excitement.

“Yes Paisley. I am very proud. As I have always been and always will! Do not let this get to you, egocentric will never do.” Master Yen Sid tells Paisley.

“Okay grandpa! What’s next? What happened? I can. Not recall more from before our lesson. Just a voice and face, then when you saved this whole place. It was calling me, pulling me, I wished for something to save me. Taeil came. He did, he did! J fear what could of bean…” Paisley says.

“Enough for today. You have bean great. I must look into what has been added to your plate. The fate, the date, oh look it is late. Please go to bed and get some sleep. Today’s troubles have been defeat.” Master Yen Sid speaks. He kneels down to hug Paisley. Her shoves her along out of his tower.

Time passed and Paisley anticipated seeing Taeil again. At the same time, she wanted to see the other boy who had been saving her. One day, she had no idea how to attempt to break the barrier to allow her to leave the castle ground. Paisley was walking around the courtyard of the main gate. She is ranting to herself flailing her arms, “It’s not fair! Why! Why am I stuck here! I hate this place! There’s nothing to do! I want to see the world! I want to experience all I have heard and learned about.” She hears some birds start to flock in fear out of the forest not to far outside of the gate. Paisley runs up to the gate. She attempts to reach her hand forth, grab the bars, and just take a quick look passed them with no luck of the magical barrier preventing her. She looks through the bars of the gate into the forest. She decides to sit on her feet and cast a spell of a butterfly to appear by magical energy in front of her. She closes her eyes to control it. The butterfly is an outline of light pink with magic falling off it that flutters passed the gate into the forest.

The butterfly finds its way to a clearing being shines upon by the sun. Paisley smiles. Ten is having fun with his forest friends. The deer stops and spots the butterfly. It walks up slowly to it and touches its noes to it. It stand up and looks a Ten with it upon the nose. Ten approaches gazing at it. He cups his hands around the butterfly to see an image of Paisley sitting in the courtyard of her castle. He smiles and tales off running. The butterfly and other animals follow quickly behind him. Ten reaches the front gates to see Paisley. He walks to the gates slowly as the butterfly disappears and Paisley stands as he grabs two of the bars beside his face between them. The two gaze at one another.

“Come on!” Ten waves her forth before turning around to run. Paisley stands completely still watching him. Ten rushes back, “What’s wrong? I want to show you something.”

“I can’t…” Paisley looks down at the ground with sorrow.

“What do you mean?” Ten approaches the gate and reaches his hand toward her, “I promise you will come back.”

Paisley shakes her head no looking at him. She turns around, “I can’t leave the castle grounds.”

“Well, sometimes you have to break the rules.” Ten says.

“No…” Paisley turns around slowly looking over her own shoulder. “I can’t.” She walks up to Ten and grans his hand. He slowly steps back pulling her. The second her fingers touch the barrier she is recoiled back ad Ten is launched back fat from the gate by magic. Paisley is used to this and manages to keel a stance as Ten flies into the air, landing on his back. He stands up and checks himself, fast her rushes forth reach fir Paisley’s hand for the same thing to happen.

“I don’t understand.” Ten questions.

“I don’t know exactly either. But I can’t leave the castle grounds. I never have and never will.” Paisley turns around and starts to walk away disappointed toward the castle. Ten rushes forth, squeezing between the bars of the gate  and hugs Paisley.

“I'm sorry…” Ten rests his head on Paisley’s shoulder. Paisley smiles and reaches her arms around her shoulders to him.

“It’s not your fault.” Paisley responds. She begins to turn around when suddenly a bunch of the dark shadowy enemies and light figures appear around them. Paisley has never faced them outside of lessons with Master Yen Sid and thinks.

She thinks back to a few times when he would intervene with a magical sword. Master Yen Sid summoned it with ease to defeat the creatures. It had long blue blade curved in a crescent shape at the end having a crescent moon with a star inside it and some spikes. The handle resembled two long curved white wings that met at the tips with a star connecting them in the shape of a perfect circle around the handle where it was grasped. Two more stars were where the quillions should be. All of the stars were golden coloured. Just passed the handle was dark blue and faded lighter to the circular end.

Just as Paisley was struck by a creature she holds her hand out for protection. Her entire body glowed pink for a moment. Within her hand more light glowed for a blade to be felt within. It illuminated the enemy. Paisley looks to see the same blade in her hand, only of pink, black, and platinum colourings! Fast she accepts the sword to start striking down all the foes. When Ten was attacked, so much magic burst around the area all was defeated. Paisley looks at the blade. Looking at Ten, it disappears when he attempts to touch it. The two smile and get lost in one another’s faces.

This was not a common situation facing the enemies. However, Ten did make a habit of coming to the castle more often to visit and hang out with Paisley. He was shy of anyon3 from the castle and usually ran away from them when they neared. He always refused to go inside anytime Paisley would insist him forth.

One day, Paisley and her brother were given news by their parents the king and queen.

“Children! Expect a new sibling soon.” The father spoke to them.

“Yes, a little baby brother or sister.” The mother added in

“Really? Does that mean I would be able to leave the castle?” Paisley questions. Her family all look at one another unsure how to answer. Paisley reads their looks she gets upset and takes off crying.

“Paisley!” Her brother attempts to run after her and Master Yen Sid appears in front halting him. Paisley runs up one of the towers. To the highest point of all the castle not in Master Yen Sid’s tower. It was a small round area having a balcony. She rushes to the railing and looks out over the horizon to the world she has never seen up close. Clouds begin to roll in making the sky grey. She rests her head on her arms leaning on the railing crying. It begins to rain. Slowly her face and arms rises some as she is now resting on Taeil’s lap who is petting her head in comfort. Paisley notices and looks up at him. Taeil smiles at her and she stands up turning away as more tears fall from her face. As each tears drips through the air it shines and sparkles. When they splash, glitter is left in place of the liquid disappearing. Taeil floats around her he leans down, with his feet in the air and wings flapping. He pinches some of the glitter and rises to be eye level with her, still with his feet up horizontally behind him. He pokes Paisley’s noes with the other hand to get her attention. When she opens her eyes he grabs her wrist and slams the glitter on the ground. A large burst of fireworks emits. The area is transformed into a town. She looks down the well to see many coins in the water and her reflection wearing a tattered dress with soot and dirt on her face. She hears a bell start to ring and looks in its direction. At the top of a tall church was someone pulling the bell to signal the day being 7 a.m. All around her many started to fill the town.

“The time is 7 and we all come out. Hear us shout! We have no doubt!” The townsfolk begin to sing and dance about. Paisley observes and joins in her best while being pulled into various areas by the crowd or people. Taeil sits on the top roof of the well covering and watches with a big smile. “The time is 7 and we all come out. Hear us shout! We have no doubt! This glorious day is what we crave! To have it is our way. We thank and praise our princess, Paisley, for this this glee! For our spree! It’s because of she, we live so happily!”

Paisley is confused and watches as the town gathers near a structure that starts to form and be built by magic from various people. The townsfolk vary from humans to human like animals and animals who can speak. Paisley loves it so much. Until the statue is built in her image. She stares blankly at it. “She saved us all! She protects us all! We hope her rein will never fall! The day she was born, we were saved! No more fighting, no more strife, no more of that once time we called life! We used to defend, meet our end, and now we can easily fend off evil, fend off foes, our princess has cured our woes! Her name is Paisley, PASIELY, Paisley, Princess Paisley, our Paisley, our pretty princess Paisley!” Paisley sees Ten in all of the merriment. She rushes toward him for her hand to move right through him.

“Stop!” Paisley shouts. The magic disperses and she find herself in the empty tower.

“What’s wrong?” Taeil asks standing across from her.

“What was that? Tell me now!” Paisley is angry.

Taeil looses his smile and drops his shoulders in disappointment looming down shaking his head. “Why do I have to be the one…”

“The one to what? Why are you hear? I hate this! I hate this place! I hate being cooped up here!” Paisley falls sitting on her legs hugging herself again, “if that was true what they said…”

Taeil appears behind her and sits behind her wrapping his arms around her. He rests his head on the back of hers. “What you saw is how the nearby town celebrates your  birthday every year. It’s coming near, and this year…”

“Don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.” Paisley turns around and hugs Taeil digging her arm into his shoulder. “Why have I never been told? I wouldn’t of tried too… I mean I wouldn’t of… I don’t want them…” She looks at Taeil and grabs his short with both hands, “Can you show me what it was like? Before I was born as they sang about?” he smiles and places both of his hands on her cheeks raising her head up high.

“Do not cry no more. But, your tears are special. Full of magic and wonder!” He wipes one with his thumb and pulls that hand away from her face flicking it toward the ground. Once again the area changes, by magic, to fill the area. This time, the town is very run down. All of the buildings are partially crumbled, the sky is dark and grey, as people display being scared and worried. Paisley walks to the town well to see her reflection once again, only not very many wishes within it. The bell strikes 7 again. Only this time… people do not frolic about. Instead, they all board up their homes a businesses. So many creatures appears. Paisley is aware of them. Upset, with a determination to aid them, she summons her pink Star Seeker blade and begins to defend the town. One by one, she strikes them down. With a slash here, a stab there, she uses magic combined to eliminate them all! The sky turns black and dark. More creatures appear that Paisley is familiar with. Before, the light blinding foes, this time of the dark shadowy one. These took more away than the previous. When hit enough, a heart shaped figured would emit from their corpse that disappeared. The heart would rotate and float high into the sky to disappear. Paisley used much strength, defense, and magic to defend the town as best possible.

When all seemed to be defeated, Paisley was holding her blade with two hands. Slightly squatted and panting with the blade forward in front of her body, she looked forth with a face of determination. Her shadow from the sun casted down and began to stretch. It became 3 dimensional. Before Paisley knew it, she was facing a dark shadowy equivalent form of herself having yellow eyes. Drawn to it, sj reaches forth to it. When making contact, the area changes. She finds herself in one of the towers of her home having. Stain glass all about. Below her feet was herself. No time to gawk, her pink Star Seeker is summoned to knock the attack from her lager shadowy self's hand. It recoils back holding it’s hand and Paisley takes the opportunity to use her own magic. Around the area she begins to call portals around it. When its hand  swip3s near her again, Paisley jumps and lands upon it. She runs up fast to its face and strikes multiple times. She is smacked hard far through the air and recovers herself in the air. Paisley uses magic to block the next I coming attacks from her shadowy self. I t he rebound, she lunges forth to strike the enemy in the face! With success, her larger shadowy form is taken down. As Paisley falls to the ground slicing through its body, it begins to disappear. Paisley finds herself holding her pink Star Seeker in her hands in the empty tower of her home with Taeil observing her. She catches her breath and stands relaxed looking at Taiel. She reaches an arm toward him as be disappears too. Paisley is left alone in the tower. The blade disappears too and she walks to the balcony to see the grey clouds all gone having a happy rainbow sunset over the nearby town.

Paisley smiles and leans on the railing looking over, “Okay… if I'm saving others… I can be happy. To an extent…”

With Paisley’s birthday coming up, everyone is excited and planning so much. She is going to be 16. Paisley isn’t excited. The only thing she craves most is to explore out of her home. The only thing that seems to bring a smile to her face these days is magic and Ten. One day Paisley was camping outside for a couple days waiting for him to come by. She wakes up one morning for him to be laying beside her. She smiles watching him sleep. Paisley pulls out a special invitation to her birthday celebration. She rests it between his hand and chest. She leans in to kiss him as his eyes open. He rolls over out of the way.

“Princess! I'm sorry!” Ten pleas.

“No! I'm sorry, I… I should of. I was wrong.” Paisley takes off running upset and embarrassed.

“Wait! I mean…” He then whispers to himself. “I never kissed anyone before…” He notices the birthday invitation and smiles. When he reads formal attire is the dress code he worries and looks over his tattered clothing. Ten slides down the hill back to town. He quickly rushes to find Mickey. “Mickey!” he starts jumping up to look over the crowd searching. “Mickey!” He stops in front of a cottage and looks inside, “Mickey!” He looks around. “Ah!” Ten finds him. He rushes up behind Mickey and grabs him with a big hug lifting him off the ground. “Mickey!”

“Golly Ten! You’re extra enthusiastic today!” Mickey says as Ten sets him down.

“I need your help!” Ten.

“Of course! That’s what friends are for. What do you need?” Mickey asks. Ten hands him the invitation. “Oh wow! You've been invited to Paisley birthday! This is wonderful! I'm happy for you. What seems… oh.” Mickey stops reads and looks a Ten who is poking his hand through a hole in his sleeve.

“I don’t have anything nice to wear.” Ten speaks.

“Hmmm… well I know you won’t fit into anything I have. You’re much too tall. But…” Mickey thinks crossing his arms.

Later that night…

Paisley is looking out of her steeple. Magic gathers behind  on her bed. She looks back to see Taeil laying upon it. “Hi Taeil…” she says gloomy.

“Ugh… one thing I hate about my job is that you are never happy when I show up. But, I do get to change that and that is rewarding.” Taeil looks at Paisley, “When I succeed. Watch this!” He starts to jump up and down on her bed and suddenly it turns into a giant marshmallow. He lands on his back, jumps slightly flipping over, and takes a big bite. With a mouthful he slurs, “come on!” he waves her forth. Paisley smiles some and approaches. She places her hands on the marshmallow and takes a big bite. Taeil smooshes her face into it while turning it into fluff. She leans up fast with a face full of white and wipes her eyes. Taeil laughs and she tackles him. They both fall into the center of the marshmallow and become covered in its gooey center. Paisley attempts to crawl out to be smooshed back in by a giant chocolate piece. Taeil flies up to be smooshed by a gram cracker back down. The two begin to throw and toss food all over the place in enjoyment. Suddenly, Paisley stops. A ball of magic appears in front of her face. She cups it and everything returns to normal and clean. She finds her attire begin to change from various dresses and colours. Taeil is intrigued and pulls out a star on a chain and looks into it. He smiles and removes it from the chain, to attach it to the end of a wand he makes a appear. He taps it on her head for magic to pour out all over her to remain on an all new final dress. It radiates glittery magic

Paisley runs up to an area full of mirrors, “oh wow! Would you look at this!” she twirls. Facing Taeil she curtsies as he bows. “Is this your magic? I love it! Thank you!”

“Not entirely. I just helped.” Taeil answers. He smiles and reaches his hand out to her. She accepts and the two begin to dance as music begins to play having notes fly about the area. “Part of me feels like this smile is not because of the dress entirely.”

“Well, my birthday’s coming up. I invited someone and this dress… I…” Paisley starts to blush.

“You…” Taeil insists.

“I don’t fully understand it. The way I feel in this dress right now, it’s exactly the same as when I'm around them.” Paisley responds. Taeil laughs. “What’s so funny? That’s why I didn’t want to tell you. I shouldn’t of!” She attempts to pull away and Taeil pulls her in for a hug.

“Don’t worry over it. You can tell me anything. I'm here to make you happy. No matter what happens.” Taeil tells her. He has a slight look of disappointment as he looks into his star again to see Ten with Mickey and others. They pull away and Taeil smiles at Paisley.

“Wait a minute!” She is saddened and rests her hands on his shoulders looking up at him. “Are you hear to help me find my happily ever after? That means you'll go away if I ever… so this isn’t…” Paisley pulls away and starts to walk to her balcony. She casts a spell to change herself into her nightgown and the dress is placed on a nearby form. She looks out into the night sky filled with stars. Taeil stands beside her. “I'm sad and confused. My happily ever after doesn’t exist.”

“That’s not entirely true. But, I will always be in your life. Forever and ever!” Taeil speaks. He grabs her hand. “Sometimes we think we know what will make us happy, but find out it’s not what we expected. Instead we get something much greater.” Paisley’s face is still sad and in a heavy thought. Taeil starts to fly, lifting her, to the tallest tower. They both sit and watch the stars with their legs hanging off.

In the village…

Mickey and others are gathered around. Ten stands between them all they each hold a magical item or ingredient. Mickey begins to read from a giant spell book sat upon a table. “To help my friend we each will help. We have not much wealth, but his heart was felt. We join together, adding cloth for a garment, pixie dust for magic, scrap metal with a flowers petal for decoration, a feather not plucked of a bird, two cups of colours, and thread to hold it all together.” The ingredients were all dropped into a cauldron. “Now, we mix them all up and…” he looks at Ten. “Shucks Ten, it says you have to get inside the cauldron.”

“Inside?” They all look into the magical swirling pot. “Okay… for her!” He steps onto a chair and climbs into the pot. “This isn’t so…” he is pulled into the cauldron fully submerged his hand reaches for the edge for it to flip over. The liquid spills and evaporates. Ten is left sitting in exquisite regal garment with magical glitter shining off it.

“It worked!” Mickey jumps in glee.

Ten is looking at himself as best possible. “How does it look? Think it’s good enough to get me into the palace?” He rushes to a bucket of water and looks at himself.

“Sure! It’s perfect!” Mickey shouts.

“Thanks everyone! Is this permanent? Or will is like wear off?” Ten asks.

“Ummm… uh…” Mickey is reading over the spell book. “It looks like it should be permanent, but…”

“But…” Ten worries.

“In the fine print it says, for the wearer to seek out love, be sure it is not lust. To seek out fortune, must have been in misfortune. For a cure, you must be pure. Some other effects are unknown based on magical abilities.” Mickey reads.

“What does that mean?” Ten asks.

“I don’t know. I should of looked into it first. The unknown is the unknown. It’s unknown.” Mickey scratches his head.

“I can feel her. In this, I can feel that same happiness I have when I am with her. You’re going to come with me to her party? Right?” Ten speaks.

“Of course! I would be glad to accompany you. Thanks! I've always wanted to see the castle. Especially if I could meet Master Yen Sid himself!” Mickey responds.

The next morning, Paisley is looking out her balcony. She sees Ten and waves to him. He waved back and took off sliding down the hill om his board. Paisley smiles and watches from her telescope on a stand nearby. After she spies on him as best possible and the people of the town. She begins to sing, “I look dowwwn… All arouuund... At...all those people. They are freeeee...To livve... theiir... livves. I look at me... And feel feeble... Just whaaat does my life meeeaaan?”

Taeil appears, “Just look around. At this steeple! Just look right nowww… Innn yourrr eyeees! Please realize... being... regal… It's not a curse...

And keeps back... evil! Your... life... is... Unbelievable!”

Paisley stands on a stool with her hands on her hips looking down at Taeil in her nightgown, “Oh you say so?”

Taeil flies to be taller looking down at her with his hands on his hips mimicing her, “Yeaaahhh.”

Paisley jumps off the stool and flays her arms about. “What do you know? You just pop on in, without a hi, and very soon you'll say goodbye. It's not quiet my birthday or a holiday. What brings you here on this Monday? Or is it Wednesday?”

“It’s Thursday my dear Princess. I sensed you're sad, and feeling bad. To cheer you up is what I must. Time is reaching near for you to rise on up for what is true. Watching you, I have always done. Why do you think, you have never hurt your bum? If I toss you out this window, you begin to shout,” Taeil lifts Paisley and tosses her out the window, “you can count on me!” He saves her and flies them back to her room, “Please have no doubt, do not pout, I'm merely here for you from how you feel when watching the town. Let me see a smile and I promise soon we can hang for a while! Smile, smile, smile!”

*Knock, knock*

A woman's voice can be heard with pounding on the door, “Oh Princess! Are you awake! I hear voices and am worried.” She opens the door and barges in with others all in similar uniforms. “Oh heavens sake, it's just you. Princess you know what we're here to do.”

Paisley frowns looking at Taeil, “See! They’re here for me. They won’t leave me be. I only wish to be free! People always comin' round to prep and primp and clothe me. Always telling me what do to, how to dress, and I can never get a full night's rest. I can not take it any more and want to leave from here with you.” Paisley drops to her knees begging, ‘Please help me see the world and venture from my home. Outside the walls and past the gate, is somewhere I have never roamed!” Taeil disappears.

“Brush your teeth!” The woman demands of Paisley.

Two others simultaneously speak, “We'll brush your hair!”

“It's time to change what you wear!” Another pulls out a garment from her closet.

Paisley is all gushed up and ready for the day, she rushes to the spiraling stairs of her tower and slides down the railing fast, “After this, I go to lessons. To learn real lots and pass all the tests.” She hurries into the library to find her brother and sister around the large table in the center. “Look at my sister! She makes quite the messes. But, always makes sure she does her best. As for me, I always try and either I know it or I don't.”

The teacher smacks a ruler down om the table by Paisley, “Paisley!”

Paisley backs away from her sister, “Calm down, I won't. I won’t. Last time I distracted her... She couldn't speak for a week. Not one word.” She opens a book and when the teacher is looking away she hurries over to her brother. “Oh look at my brother! I would never ask for any other

He's cute like father, but acts like mother. He hates it when I give him smothers!” Paisley squeezes a hug to him.

“Paisley stop!” He pulls himself away and looks at her. “Don't you have work to do? I see your smirk and that grin. I know what happens when...”

*Boom*

Paisley and the brother are both covered in black from the explosion, “Yes, that's my sister. The oldest of the two. I remember when it was only just me... And not you! At times I miss her, but in this case... All I can do is shake my fist at her!”

The morning goes by fast and the siblings all sit down in the dinning hall just only them for lunch, “My favorite part would have to be lunch. 9 courses will do, but I can't remember the name of every stew.” The brother nods his head in exaggeration as the sister claps happily from Paisley using magic to summon forth a banquet. “Dessert is the best and I eat it before all the rest.” She digs into the ice cream and cookies first.

Their butler walks in, “children, your parents send their best regards and ask of your best behavior. They shall be back this evening.”

Paisley grins looking at her siblings and bites her bottom lip, “Mommy and daddy are gone… I can have just a little bit of fun!” Paisley hurries out of the dinning room to a magical room. She throws on a pink robe, ties it with a white belt, and puts on white gloves. She ascends up some steps to a podium looking down at a cauldron. Clearing her throat first, she starts to use magic on the cauldron that explodes each time she casts a spell, tosses an object, or adds an ingredient into it. “Just like both of them I can use my skill that I have been bred!” She zaps a nearby broom and it multiplies. They all line up and begin to back up dance behind her as a stage appears with the room full of all sorts of lighting and smoke. He sleeves are a bit too long and cover her hands from time to time. “Casting spells and making potions! Enchanted rings, forget these lotions.

I can make them, craft them, brew them, chant them, CAST them all! I'm havin' a blast!”

The butler walks in with the siblings and rest if the staff, “Oh my dear, not this commotion. When she gets like this I fear it will ever last. I'll take a sit and watch the show. When did all my hairs turn white as snow?”

Taeil appears and starts to add to Paisley’s magic. Outside of the castle, fireworks are going off that many if the townsfolk stop to adore. Ten smiles and whispers to himself, “Paisley!”

“How bout this!” Taeil shouts hovering over the cauldron pouring magic into it.

“How bout that?” Paisley adds in.

“How bout this and that, this and that, that and this!” Both sing simultaneously as the room fills with smoke And the two bump into one another back to back. Out of the cauldron, a star arises. It spins slowly clearing the room of the smoke.

“Is that?” Paisley begins to ask.

“A shooting star!” Taeil shouts. “Wow Paisley! You’re going to make so many happy! I must send it out!” Taeil dives into the star and it shoots out the window across the sky to disappear. Ten sees, as many others do and closes his eyes to make a wish.

“I wish Paisley and I could be together forever.” Ten wishes.

Paisley hears his voice and closes her eyes with a hand in a fist near her heart. “I wish I could be with you, Ten, forever too!” Ten hears her voice. The two are blinded by light and appear in an unknown magical area. “Is this…” They are in different garments than what they would normal wear.

“Paisley!” Ten runs forth and grabs her hand. They smile holding both hands between them. The ground begins to shake and some black and shadowy dives from above dividing them. Both fall back on their butts.

“Paaaisley!” Master Yen Sid's voice can be hear shouting.

“Come on! Before they come for us!” Paisley grabs Ten and they start to run. “Grandpa! I'm hear! I don’t know where I'm at! It’s different.” They stop and look all around.

“Fallow my voice little one. Fallow it home. I am hear.” Master Yen Sid speaks. An opening appears for them to pass through. They are blinded by light and appear back inside the castle.

“I'm sorry grandpa. I made a shooting star!” Paisley explains.

“I know. I'm just glad you came back safe.” Master Yen Sid walks off. “Thank you Ten.” Ten looks around and points to himself. Paisley gives him a big hug. He takes off running.

The night of Paisley’s birthday all sorts came to visit her brining gifts of all sort. She greeted and thanked them all, while anticipating when Ten would arrive and hopefully he would.

Ten and Mickey are walking up to the castle. A carriage passed by fast nearly striking them down. It was full of gifts.

“Oh no!” Ten shouts and starts to feel around his pockets.

“What’s the matter?” Mickey asks.

“I forgot a gift!” Ten falls to his knees and sits on his feet.

“That’s okay! I don’t think she will care. She will be happy with just you.” Mickey puts a hand on Ten's shoulder.

“No. I still want to bring her something. Something special. Like… like…” He looks around. In front of him from the ground a flower begins to grow. It has dark purple petals with red tips, a green curly stem with some leafs, a yellow stamen, and a white glow about it. Ten reaches for jt.

“Wait!” Mickey shouts. “This flower bloomed out of nowhere. Could be magic. We don’t know what may happen.”

“I'm willing to take that risk.” Ten pulls the flower to have trouble pulling it out of the ground. It’s roots stretch far crumbling dirt as it breaks through. Ten tugs and tugs on it until it finally snaps. Magic burns away it to Ten's fingers. He places it within a pocket inside his upper attire. When they arrive at the castle, Paisley was sitting atop a thrown with her parents and siblings as her father begins speaks.

“Today, not only do we celebrate Paisley’s day of birth, but the day of freedom granted to us! For 16 years we have not had to board up our homes at night, we can travel safely places, and the darkness has subsided outside of our world. I would like to be the 1st to thank and bow down! As of this moment, I relinquish my title as king, pass on my crown to Paisley as your new queen, and set this day as…” The king is interrupted by an unusual gust of wind overwhelming all of the room. Paisley stands fast sensing trouble.

“Paisley!” Ten shouts and pushes himself forth through the cowering crowd.

The king had removed his crown to place upon Paisley’s head and holds it close to his chest trying not to be knocked down by the gust. All of the lighting disperses or explode with sparks about the place. People begin to scream and panic. The king is thrusts far across the room as the crown is knocked out of his hands. It flies across the room and bounces a couple times sliding in front of Ten's feet.

“Ten!” Paisley shouts and runs to him. Without a care, she ignores all and the crown hugging him. Ten's attention is drawn to the dark shadowy form gathering in the room of a giant creature; behemoth (Kingdom hearts version.) It is on all fours of hooved feet. They from more muscular than the back. With two curled tusks out the sides of its mouth a horn accompanies them in the center of its head. The feet are white, having a light pink torso, and other areas being of grey colouration. A never before seen heart shape was upon its chest in black with some red lines. Ten is quick to push Paisley aside to protect her. She shoves herself forth summoning her pink star seeker keyblade. She runs forth holding it with two hands hunched forth out to her side. The behemoth stomps a foot down causing magic to appear all over the place. Ten grabs the crown and dodge rolls put of the way. Paisley dives and somersaults to a stance fast casting magic around herself to protect a visitor inside her home. They nod to her before running off fast and she continues forth to the creature. She leaps up with an aerial upper slash twisting her body to strike below the chin of the behemoth. It takes effect and stands up on its hind legs as a result of the attack. Paisley lands in a slight split, with her hand between her legs slight in front do her body and blade out to the side. She sees the exposed chest open from the heart shape of the creature as it rears. She runs forth and begins to glow pink. In the blink of an eye, she dashes through it. As a result, it falls to the ground. It begins to snip and snap at her with its jaw while also jabbing and lashing her it with its tusks and horn.

Ten watches Paisley unsure what to do. A shine catches his eyes below himself. Looming down, he sees the crow of the king. Full of gems and very shiny, he looks across the room to see the king staring at him. Looking elsewhere, he sees Master Yen Sid nodding to him. Seeing Paisley attack the creature he is unsure what to do. Mickey is seen running forth to aid Paisley against the attack of the behemoth. Mickey using magic to leaps high into the air and hold his hands out down flat toward the creature to exert much magic! Ten closes his eyes making fists with both hands over a feeling of being useless and unable to help. Suddenly, the flower he brought begins to glow and vibrate. Removing it from his inner pocket, he gazes into it. Zoned out for a moment his head shakes away its effects. He grasps the flower with both hands and a magical barrier appears around his entire being. At first in the shape of the flower, then just around his body perfectly making him look shiny. Ten rushes forth to aid Paisley and Mickey when many creatures appear surrounding him. The behemoth chomps at Paisley as she strikes and takes hold of her blade lodged within its teeth. It rears and Paisley hangs from its mouth holding onto the handle of her blade. She is shook all around. Looking down at Ten, she smiles when they lock eyes. Paisley’s keyblade disappears and she begins to fall. Ten forces himself through the other creatures and catches Paisley in his arms. Mickey joins them. They are all surrounded. Paisley raises hand high above to summon her star seeker again. All of the creatures dive at them as she pushes herself forth to grab Mickey’s hand. Mickey also grabs Ten’s hand and the three make a large burst of magic to eliminate all of the creatures. The behemoth falls to the ground again and trembles to re stand. Paisley looks at Mickey and nods. Running forth with Mickey beside her, she gabs his hand, spins, and launches him through the air. He casts a powerful spell and forces the behemoth to be retrained on the ground as he lands on top. Paisley jumps onto the air and summons the power to strike the behemoth down once and for all. It’s body disappears. The three smile in celebration.

The ground begins to shake. They struggle to keep balance. A glimmer catches Ten’s eye to his side and he looks to see the crown of the king. He runs forth to it. The entire room begins to fill with darkness. Ten manages to avoid it just long enough to slide along the ground grabbing the crown just before a dark shadow hand reaches for it.

“How dare you!” a voice can be heard. “You insignificant worthless peasant!” A large shadowy face appears within all the darkness having red fire eyes. It fills the entire room. Paisley sees her family huddled together and runs toward them. Along the way, she is grabbed by the darkness and pulled into it.

“Paisley!” Ten runs forth to her to be to late. Paisley is gone. He holds the crown and is angry. With his body still glowing by the shield of the flower he points and shouts toward the shadowy face, “who are you! What do you want! Bring Paisley back!” Mickey joins his side looking around cautiously.

The face laughs, “Who am I? Who are you? Do you even know what you’ve done?” Ten looks at Mickey. The two shrug in confusion. “Very well…” the face swallows Paisley’s family. They all collapse to the ground; lifeless.

“No!” Ten worries and drops to the ground shouting, “Paaaiiisssllleeeyyy!”

“You chose this path.” The face speaks and disappears. All of the room returns to normal. Mickey attempts to comfort Ten to be shrugged off. Ten begins to sob looking down sitting on the ground. Magic begins to gather in front of him. Master Yen Sid appears before him. Ten looks up and quickly bows as low possible by his feet.

“Ten…” Master Yen Sid speaks.

“I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please!” Ten looks up briefly and away in fear. “I didn’t mean to. I just… I just want to see her again.”

“Mickey.” Master Yen Sid speaks.

“Yes!” Mickey stands up from his bow looking at the master excited.

“I need you to help aid Paisley in her endeavor right now. Your skill of magic is… remarkable.” Master Yen Sid holds his hand out to the side and a portal opens. Mickey nods and runs into it. Ten stands and attempts to fallow. Master Ten Sid intervenes and the portal disappears 

“Ten…” Master Yen Sid speaks to him.

“I'm sorry! I don’t know how to make this up to you. But, I will! I never should of cane tonight.” Ten pleas.

“What has been set in motion, was by your devotion. Not to be scolded, but molded. It is up to you to create a new. It is up to you to see the view. Maybe not now, but in time… all will be fine!” Master Yen Sid clasps his hands and disappears in a cloud of thunder and lightning. Ten looks around to be the only one left in the room with the moonlight shining upon him. He still has the crown within his hands. Curious, he places it upon his head. The magic around his body disperses. Soon after, the crown crumbles to dust.

“I knew it…” Ten speaks to himself gloomy. “I am nothing…” He starts to walk away. Magic illuminates behind him. He looks back and Mickey pops put from it holding a golden kingdom keyblade. It looks very much like a key, having the end resemble a crown and the handle in silver. Soon after, Paisley pops out and the light goes away. She lands in Ten’s arms once again. She attempts to kiss him and he drops her. Running away, he does not look back or respond to her or Mickey. Mickey is halted by Master Yen Sid when trying to run after him. As is Paisley. They both bow to the master.

For months it didn’t stop raining over the castle. A grey cloud covered all of it and the townsfolk could not see it. Their was no thunder or lightning, except for a few times when Taeil would upset Pais4causing her to scream at him to go away. The day after her birthday, Paisley laid to rest her family with her grandfather’s help. Paisley used magic to build a mausoleum not to far from the castle on the ground. It had stairs to descent below the ground allowing her to place her family about the area. To the left was her mother and father. To the right was her brother and sister. She left straight ahead open for herself. Their names were inscribed largely on the walls behind their sarcophaguses. Each having their date of birth and all with the same day of death. All of the kingdom was weep with Paisley. It took longer for her to adjust. The castle felt so empty. With her making it rain constantly from her sadness it was very gloomy. Everyday she would visit her family in their tomb. Taeil had not been able to poof away for months. No matter what he did, Paisley was still unhappy.

After months of rain, the weather turned violent and stormy. So much wind began to disrupt all. Paisley was furious. She herself became so sick of being sad, being stuck unable to leave, people trying to cheer her up. She threw everyone out of the castle! In her anger, Taeil attempted to clam her. Out of much frustration, she did something horrible.

“Paisley! Stop! Please calm down!” Taeil begs chasing her down a long corridor having columns open to outside.

“No!” Paisley turns around aggressively looking menacingly to him. “I have to do something! I can’t take this no more! I'm going to leave. And…” She turns around and returns to walking.

“You can’t… Paise…” Taeil rushes to her.

“Your going to help me!” She starts to laugh eerily. She stops and turns to Taeil.

“Ummm…” Taeil is worried and confused over Paisley’s dark eyes, from lack of sleep, her grin, not something he has seen her express, and the tone of her voice.

“Your my fairy godbrother. It’s your job to make me happy.” Paisley throws an arm around Taeil and starts to walk with him very slowly leaning close to his face and holding him tight.

“Yeahhh…” Taiel’s voice quivers and he gulps.

“I know what will make me happy. I'm…” She looks away from him with her eyes shut. “I'm sorry…” She quickly moves her hand and grabs his wing close to where it attaches to her body. She squeezes it tightly and tugs him to the ground.

“Owww!” Taeil's voice shouts and echoes loudly. He summons many flying birds and insects that fly out in panic. “Paisley!”

“I'm sorry Taeil! I need your help!” Paisley grabs the other wing and starts to drag him off.

“Stop it Paisley! Please! You’re hurting me and this may result in who knows what sort of consequences! Paisley!” Taeil begs and shouts. He is unable to resist her by her having control of him by his wings. She drags him to the main gate of the palace and holds him in front of her. She starts to absorb and use his magic combined with her own and tackles them both into the gate. The barrier that keeps her in is present. She continues to shoot magic as she steps back. Giving it all she’s got, Taeil begins to feel weak and collapses some. She sets him on the ground and starts to gather much magic within her begin. She strikes every she has with magic and collapses too. A loud explosion of magic could be heard. When Paisley and Taeil look up, while laying belly down on the ground, there is a crack in the barrier. Paisley stands, wobbly, and pushes herself against it. Over and over she begins to pound and the crack spreads all over. She is very fatigued and continues. Taeil stands and she grabs him again and uses their remaining magic to break open the barrier. The two fall. Paisley is determined and starts to crawl to the gate.

“Paisley!” Master Yen Sid’s voice could be hears for miles. He is very angry. He appears in front of Paisley and she tries to crawl around him. He steps on her back stopping her. “You have defiled our family! You used your fairy godbrother for an evil deed in an evil manner for selfish reasons!” He summons his blue star seeker. She summons hers and Master Yen Sid summons it to his hand. He holds both straight above his head. The sleeves of his robs slide down exposing his arms. Magic shoots up into the sky from both blades as a swirling cloud of magic appears. A large heart shape forms within and thunder and lighting fill the area as wind starts to force Paisley and Taeil away forcefully from the Master. Paisley managed to stand and continues forth in her attempt to escape. Master Yen Sid turns around facing her and wwings both blades to her. She is forced into a door that appears with restraints holding her to it. “Do not take one step closer or I will send you through that door right now. This is for your own good!” He begins to rotate the pink blade very fast, like a fan blade, and draw magic at the tip of his own blue blade. He throws the pink and it boomerangs through the gate and on the way back closes them shut. He shoots th magic from his blade to the gate and a large lock appears. He jumps back and moves both blades about the area and the lock seals shut by magic. Master Yen Sid turns around and walks to Paisley. He releases her from the door.

“I'm sorry…” Paisley bows and collapses from fatigue.

“There is no sorry for this. What’s done is done. As for punishment, I'm locking you away in the tower until you truly earned the right to be a key barrier. Not only will my magic keep you here,” The area had slowly changed for them to be inside the tall tower, “But, the new barrier will not let anyone into the castle grounds unless I permit it.” He turns around and walks to the balcony and looks back at her, “I am very disappointed.” He fades away as does his tower. Paisley falls asleep.

Paisley rests for some hours and wakes up to a glow. She looks and sees Taiel laying on the ground beside her smiling. She rolls over on the cold brick floor away from him.

“Why are you happy? I hurt you. I used you for bad. He was right. I am selfish.” Paisley speaks. “Don’t you hate me? Didn’t I break all sorts of magic laws and you’re here to tell me goodbye forever.”

Taeil uses magic to make her sit in a chair at a tables across from him. “I'm not mad. I understand why. I just wish… well their is no wish that can change this. As I told you, I will always be with you. Forver.” Paisley looks down. “I'm smiling cause of so many reasons. But, they are for you to find and figure out. Plus, it’s no longer raining.” They look out the balcony to see the clear starry sky.

Paisley stands and walks to the darkest part of the curved wall and lays back on the floor facing the wall. “I had a dream about him. Because of me… I will never…” Taeil appears behind her reaching over covering her mouth.

“Come on, don’t you want me to conjure you a bed or something?” Taiel asks. “Don’t think negatively. That’s partially how this happened.”

“No. I don’t deserve one. In fact, put me ragged cloths.” She sits up and faces him. “No, put me in a burlap sack and a scratchy itchy rope to tie it with.”

“As you say.” He taps her with his star wand and she smiles some. “You’re smiling.” She crosses her arms and turns around facing the wall to lay down again.

“Let me rest. I need to think about a lot.” Paisley asks.

“Okay, but I'm not going to leave this room until I get something from you. Just sleep and I'll be here when you’re ready.” Taeil tells.

Ten is upset. He is pacing back and forth looking at he attire he wore to Paisley’s birthday. He keeps look at the flower he picked. It sits upon the table still glowing and full of life radiating magic. He stops and hesitates reaching for it. The glow and magic grow. A knock is heard at his door and he flinches pulling back with the flower stopping its stronger effects. He opens the door.

“Ten!” Mickey leaps into his arms for a hug.

“Hiya Mickey. I'm sorry… I think you were right about the flower's magic.” Ten replies.

“Aw shucks!” Mickey runs to the table looking at it closely. “I don’t think the flower had anything to do with what happened.” Mickey turns facing Ten looking up at him. “If you ask me. I feel this was supposed to happen. I mean I didn’t ask for…” He holds his hand out and summons the golden keyblade. “this! I don’t even know what it is. But ever since…. Uh oh!” A bunch of dark shadowy creatures appears around the room. Mickey takes to combat battling them. Ten uses some spells to help aid.

“What are these things? My magic isn’t good enough.” Ten shouts. He freezes a few in place and Mickey strikes them shattering them all to waters dust. Ten launches some fire balls and then a wall around him and Mickey allowing Mickey to strike them easily.

“I don’t know exactly. But, they try to harm people.” The two are back to back when they eliminated all the enemies. New ones arise of a light sort. They return to fighting. One zooms across the room toward the flower. Ten tackles the flower and rolls off the table hugging it. Very quickly it created the same shield around him as before. The creatures were eliminated as soon as making contact with him. They all dived at Ten being dispersed. The room is once empty again. Ten holds his hand out for a high 5. Mickey jumps and high 5’s his hand. The laugh and smiles. “Boy Ten! You sure are glowing strongly!”

Ten looks at himself. “Yeah… I wonder why? You think those creatures are after this flower?”

“Possibly. But it doesn’t explain the ones that used to attack before Paisley was born. To me these new ones seem to be similar to the old ones, but split somehow.” The two sense something and run to the window. Bright flashes and sparks light up the sky from the castle. Ten grabs his board and Mickey casts a spell making it fly and hops on his back. The two zoom through all in the town worried over what is going on at the castle. They make their way up a tall hill that can see all of the castle clearly over most of the forest.

“What do you see? Is it Paisley?” Ten asks Mickey who casts a spell. The spell moves fast closer to the commotion. Within Mickey’s hands he sets a magical portal down to see. They see Paisley using Taiel.

“Uh oh!” Mickey is scared and holds his hands over his mouth.

‘What do you mean uh oh? What is she doing? This is scary!” Ten worries. They continue to watch. When Master Yen Sid appears, the portal disappears. Mickey is unable to create another to remain anywhere near the castle. Watching from a distance they see the magic affects if Master Yen Sid and the new barrier appear all around the castle like a dome. Ten whispers, “Paisley…” he takes off running to the castle. Mickey picks him up on the hovering board. By the time they reach the main gate, the entire courtyard is empty. Ten runs up to the gate.

“Stop! Ten don’t touch it!” Mickey shouts. Ten ignores him and attempts to pass between the bars as he has a hundred times before. He is bounced back. Try again and again he is pushed back farther and father each time. He starts to take damage. In pain he continues to attempt to pass. “Ten please! It’s no use! I don’t like seeing you hurt yourself like this!”

“I have to see her!” Ten hits the barrier and bounces back. “I can sense she needs me!” Ten keeps at it. He gets very weak. Shaking and wobbling he stumbles toward the wall and hits it. Unable to stand after this recoil, he crawls determined. This time he is pushed up and back sliding along his back. He sits up slightly and passes out. Mickey drags him over the board and casts the spell to make it fly. He takes a look back at the castle and then forward.

“Mickey…” Master Yen Sid’s voice can be heard. Mickey looks around. “One key blade wielder has begun their long road to be called master. The same density has been given to you. Only different paths. Yours, however, is much different, but still has much purpose. As for your friend there. Mmm… his path is unclear. As is Paisley’s. You and I will cross paths again sooner than you may think.” A bunch of the creatures appears again. Mickey summons his keyblade. “They will always come as long as you wield the keyblade. Farewell chosen wielder of a keyblade…” Mickey uses magic with the blade to summon multiple orbs that cycle around his body. Launching them out all of the creatures are eliminated and Mickey takes off on the board with Ten hanging over it.

Back at Ten’s home, Mickey places him in his bed. He searches the room for the flower not able to find it. Next, he waits for his friend to wake up.

The next day…

Paisley is dreaming. She is tossing and turning all over the place. Taeil summons a bed with her in it wearing a nightgown. He feels her forehead as she become shiny with some sweat. Paisley mutters Ten’s name a few times. This goes on for a while until she sits up gasping.

“Ten!” She looks around. “Taeil.”

Taeil flies over and taps her noes with his star wand. Magic dust flies all over and she wiggles her noes. “Tell me.”

“Tell you what?” Paisley asks.

“What you were dreaming about?” Taiel appears laying belly down hugging a pillow next to her looking up witb his eyes.

At Ten’s home…

Ten is also tossing back and forth while sleeping. Mickey places a cold wet cloth on his forehead.

“Paisley…” Ten mutters many times. This too continues for hours until he sits up and gasps waking up. He looks at Mickey.

In the castle tower…

“It’s hard for me to explain.” Paisley says. She snaps her fingers with no luck. “I can’t do any magic right now. But, I was… nowhere. It was just darkness. I was walking, or so it seemed. I couldn’t tell if I was actually moving forward or not. I had sat on the ground and closed my eyes. I heard Ten calling for me. I shouted for him, “Ten! I'm here!”

“Paisley!” Ten shouts back. He is running through the darkness. Both start to run toward each others voice. A glimmer of light catches each of their eyes. When they look, they see a door appear before both of them. Each move forth to hear one another’s voice whispering to them.

Paisley, “So much to do…” to Ten.

Ten, “So little time…” to Paisley.

Paisley, “Take your time…”

Ten, “Do not be afraid…The door is still shut.”

Paisley, “Power sleeps within you… If you give it form.”

Paisley passes through the door to be standing on stain glass lit up by the sun and the white castle walls with open windows over looking the kingdom. She can see Master Yen Sid’s tower, but the picture made in the stain glass flooring also shows his face. The walls crumble and break. Paisley keeps her ground and sees only the stain glass remain with the endless darkness all elsewhere. Some creatures appear and she uses lighting magic to easily take them out. More stain glass appears of stain glass ascending up to another large platform of stain glass. The 2nd one is a portrait of her family. She uses the power of gravity to smoosh the next round of enemies. More stairs appear. The 3rd platform, Paisley fell to her knees.

“Ten…” She smiles and then frowns. “I… I messed up.” She begins to attack more creatures. The door appears again.

When Ten passed through the door, he found himself examining the stain glass platform of Mickey in the endless darkness. Creatures appears and he uses his magic to defeat them. The stairs appear. His 2nd platform is the flower. It is floating in the center. He walks forth and grabs it. A black keyblade appears within one hand and a platinum one in the other equally in design. Creatures show by numbers and he takes them out. When stepping on the 3rd platform, he falls to his knees.

“Paisley…” He smiles and then frowns. “I… I messed up.” He begins to attack more creatures. The door appears again.

Both pass through to find themselves standing on another platform having the castle. After they look around, both wave and run forth. They stop in the center and stare at one another. Creatures appear. They turn back to back and take combat. More stairs appear. They hold hands and proceed up them slowly. The 5th platform had a large round orb with a star in the center having rings about it. They look at one another and a large shadow hand slams between them. The leap apart. The hand cracked the stain glass and rips it apart. The reach of the glass shatters and they both fall through the darkness reaching for one another’s hand. Both begin to fade into the darkness before they could grab hands.

“Then?” Taeil ask. Paisley shrugs nodding her head that she does know.

Time went by. Paisley was unable to leave her tower. Taeil was there constantly. Ten and Mickey went out to search for answers. Paisley and Ten would dream of one another often. It grew their desires to see each other. At the same time, they were always happy just meeting in their dreams. Everyday, Paisley would spend countless hours son hsr balcony staring out it or sitting on the landing beside it. If she made an attempt to jump off or climb up, she would just be blocked by magic and repelled inside. So much time went by, Paisley did not notice herself. One day, she was gazing out a telescope at the town and spotted a person she often watched.

“When did their hair get so grey? How did their son become much taller than him?” Paisley speaks.

“Huh?” Taeil is busy messing with his wand and doesn’t bother to look at her. Paisley looks down at herself and then Ten. After, she looks back through the telescope. She is alerted and confused. Fast Paisley runs to a full length mirror within the tower. She starts to look over herself. Taeil comes over, “What would like to wear today?”

“Taeil?” Paisley asks.

“Yeah?” Taeil responds.

“Do I look the same to you?” She questions.

“Of course! Why wouldn’t you? I mean, I look the same.” Taeil hip checks her over some to examine his own reflection. Paisley starts to ruffle the curtains along the wall until finding and opening. She scoots the material along a rod exposing the brick wall. Upon it was many tallies. Taeil looks. “What’s wrong Paise? Why are you looking at this? It’s from years ago!”

“Exactly!” Paisley looks at him and grabs his shirt looking up into his eyes. “It’s from years ago! There’s a few years here. I haven’t…” she turns around looming at the wall. “I haven’t aged at all…” She walks over and starts to brush some tallies and sits on her feet. Taeil appears next to her, sitting too, and hands her one of the stones she used to make the marks. Paisley grabs it and watches Taeil as he begins to draw himself on the wall. He draws himself flying with the shooting star with many other stars about the place. Paisley smiles and draws herself. Below Taeil, she draws a crescent moon around her and Taeil that he begins to shade in as she draws Ten beside her with a heart between them. A tear falls from her face and she drops the stone as clouds surround outside. Both of her hands are on the wall as she begins to cry and it starts to rain. The tears fall faster and faster more abundantly. Taeil reaches out and wraps his arms around her. She dives into his chest fast. “I haven’t aged. I haven’t changed. You've been here all this time with me and he's been out there… I'm sure he’s forgotten all about me by now. I still can’t even do one spell! I ruined everything! I'm so sorry Taeil! I should of never done what I did. I was being so selfish. I knew all along, but it didn’t hurt this much until now.” Paisley cries and cries into Taeil. A bunch of light begins to gather in the room. They both look. Taeil wipes some of her tears away.

“Paisley…” Master Yen Sid speaks after making his appearance from the light.

“I was wrong! I was so wrong! I deserved this!” Paisley shouts.

Master Yen Sid closes his eyes and tilt his head down. “What you did that day was not good, but it was not bad. It took this long for you to truly feel and realize it. How much longer will it take for the rest of your destiny to arise? You stopped aging, something you did not realize till now also. Do not sulk in your woe. I shall give you back your glow!” He claps and magic fills the area into Paisley. She stands and runs to him jumping into his arma for a hug. He pets her hair slightly smiling. “Paisley… little one. I wish this pain was done, but for it, remember, I am not the one.” Paisley looks up at him as he kneels setting her down to look up at her. “I was angry and full of rage. Over what you did that day. In time, you will see my way. For now, please. I say please! Never go astray again! Who knows what may happen!” He stands and walks to the balcony holding Paisley’s hand. “One day, you will know of where I go and who I face of our foes! See this land before you? They all believe in you. Look up to you. It’s up to you to find out what is true!” he disappears in a cloud of smoke. Paisley looks into her telescope to see many rushing out od the rain. To her surprise, she sees Ten. Someone she has not seen in a long time. She looks at Taeil who gestures his hand out over the railing. She closes her eyes and is able to cast a magic again. She summons a butterfly with a light pink outline. It flies to the magical barrier and an opening appears allowing it to pass.

Outside of the castle…

After the barrier was placed upon the castle, Ten felt so sad unable to see Paisley. He did his best to stay busy and not think of her. Mickey could not get away from the creatures that would appear chasing his keyblade. Ten also found himself unable to part with the flower that drew them in too. Both decided to leave the town. Ten took a long stare at the castle on the hill before they set out. A tear dropped from one of his eyes.

“Let’s go! I'll race you!” Ten shouts to Mickey turning around fast. Mickey is gloomy seeing his friend cry unable to help him and runs after hopping their race may bring some joy to him.

For years, Mickey and Ten fought the creatures seeking answers. At times Ten would have his black Keyblade, others the platinum, and occasionally both! One day they found themselves walking along a path. Ten stops. He can see the tip of the castle.

“Maybe the barrier is gone by now! We have been gone quiet awhile!” Mickey encourages. Grey clouds begin to fill the area.

“Paisley…” Ten mutters and takes off running. It begins to rain. He runs so fast to the castle’s main gates. The barrier prevents him from entering. Upset he runs off into the woods and stops at a river. He kicks his reflection and tosses rocks all over in frustration. When the ripples stop he sees an old deer looking over his shoulder. He turns around and smiles seeing his old friend again. “Look at you!” The deer looks to the side at a doe and fawn. Ten looks. “Is that your family? I'm happy for you!” Ten hugs the buck again. “Wait a minute…” He turns back around and looks at his reflection in the water. “I'm… the same.” Mickey shows up and Ten looks at him.

“Of course you’re the same. Who else would you be?” Mickey says.

“No. I mean, I look the same. After all these years! Why haven’t I aged?” Ten questions.

“I haven’t aged either. What’s the big deal?” Mickey speaks. He crosses his arms thinking.

“For humans, that’s not normal. Do you think… it’s cause if this?” Ten pulls out the flower. Enemies surround. The deer flee as Mickey casts a spell to disperse of them.

“That was much easier than when we left here. We must of gotten stronger!” Mickey says.

Ten returns to looking at himself. “I wonder what she looks like now.” He sits with a leg bent and his arm rested over it. “Think she would even remember me?” he starts to day dream and the rain stops. The clouds part with a beam of light on him. He senses something. The pink butterfly lands upon his noes. Paisley’s eyes are shut and she begins to smile very largely full of happiness. Ten smiles and trues to cup it as it disappears. Paisley passes out from exhaustion from the spell. Ten runs back to the castle. He looks up at the tall tower lit up and the rest kf the gloomy, dusty, empty, dark, and bared castle. “Paisley!” Ten shouts.

Taeil places Paisley in her bed. He watches her sleep and react when Ten screams. Taeil disappears and appears behind Ten. “She's sleeping.” Ten jumps some. “It’s not place, but…”

“I need to see her!” Ten shouts.

“I can’t.” Taeil replies.

“Please!” Ten drops to his knees.

“I truly can’t. My magic has no effect over this.” Taeil walks over to the barrier and places his hand on it. It begins to absorb his magic and be pulls his hand away. “Whatever she did that day…”

“Don’t blame her!” Ten gets angry and attempts to tackle Taeil who disappears and reappears elsewhere.

“This barrier is of Master Yen Sid's. I have no power over it. But you…” Taeil gets close to Ten's face, “You seem to have so much power over her. Is it the key?” Taiel disappears completely by magic from the area. Ten and Mickey look around

“Is there anything you can do Mickey?” Ten asks gazing at the tower.

“I am nowhere near close enough to alter Master Yen Sid. Nor would I even chance it! If he could do this, just think of how he might punish us!” Mickey replies.

“Right…” Ten turns around and pulls out his board. “I guess we should leave.” Ten jumps on his board and starts to slide down the slope. Mickey summons his own and joins. They return to their adventure searching for answers and clues about anything and everything.

More and more years pass by. Paisley eventually was permitted to leave the tower, but she was still stuck within the barrier as she had been her whole life. She now spent countless hours sitting in front of the castle’s main gate anticipating the day she could see Ten again.

Paisley was standing at the main gate of her castle. She reaches her hand out to the visible barrier. It grows toward her becoming thicker and she pulls her hand away. She sighs. A hand rests on her shoulder and she looks to see Taeil.

“This again? Doesn’t it get boring standing out here?” Taeil asks.

“No. It gets boring being inside the castle. I can’t even feel a breeze or the temperature no more.” Paisley.

“You'll see him again.” Taeil smiles at her.

She becomes more sad, “I wish I could right now. I wonder what he’s been doing? At times I can sense him.”

The area starts to fill with clouds.

In town…

Ten looks toward the castle to see the clouds forming.

“Looks like something made her sad again.” Mickey says.

“This feels different. I'm worried!” Ten takes off toward the castle. Along the way he and Mickey are stopped by the shadowy face from Paisley’s birthday. It appeared and swallowed them both. “Mickey!” Ten shouts as he is pulled away from Mickey.

“Ten!” Mickey casts lots of magic. The shadow grabs Ten within its hand and stares down Mickey.

“Stand down and give me your Keyblades!” The shadow speaks.

“Never!” Ten shouts and summons both of his and starts to strike the face. It swallows him once again and Ten falls back within the darkness. He faints and his body floats horizontally with his back slightly arched having the chest up more. Floating, rotating, and shining bright.

“Oh no!” Mickey strikes down many other enemies along his way to Ten and protects his heart. He starts to become weak from so much magic use and using his golden Keyblade.

“Paisley…” Ten mutters with dead eyes and a fatigue d face. He manages to reach up and hug his heart just as the shadow made an attempt to snag it. “It belongs to you…”

Outside of the castle…

Taeil looks around at the clouds forming. “Let’s go inside before you make it rain.” He turns around and walks away. Paisley gasps and a large bolt of lighting strikes the tip of the castle with immediate thunder. Taeil looks back to see Paisley grabbing her chest with black shadow emitting from her body. She starts to breath heavily. “Paisley?” She collapses to her knees still holding her chest with one hand as the other holds herself up. “Paisley!” Taeil runs back and slides across the ground grabbing her. It starts to rain with very violent thunder and lighting. “What’s wrong? Talk to me!” Taeil pulls out his star wand and attempts to counteract the magic. Only for a second the shadow dispersed only for it to reappear in a greater midst.

“Taeil!” Paisley starts to hyper ventilate. “It’s… it’s… ahg! Ten!” She bends her knee and rests her hand above her knee in an attempt to stand. “You already intruded once before. I will not let it happen again!” She manages to stand and more darkness surrounds her being. Closing her eyes she thinks of Ten.

Taeil is pushed back by the darkness. Flying up to avoid it, he looks at his pocket watch to see Mickey defending him. He nods some and summons a small charm on a chain identical to his pocket watch. It is a black star having the effects of it shooting with it. Holding it in his palm Taeil speaks, “Forgive me Master… But, my heart is calling to her and her’s by others.” The shadow starts to engulf her and he zooms fast, “Paisley! Take my hand! Please!” Paisley opens her eyes to start being pulled into the darkness. Taeil is having to maneuver it attempting to pull him and as shadow creatures start to fill the area. Casting magic to disperse them, he manages to grab Paisley’s hand. A bunch of music notes begin to fill the area as a pink light fills the area. The darkness is all gone, but the creatures remain. Within Paisley’s hand is a black and pink Keyblade. The end looks like the top of a 16th note and her hand is surround by a table clef at the handle. Her entire body is glowing a shiny black glitter colour. Taeil's wand shifts to be a quarter note with a base clef handle. The two are back to back and strike down all of the enemies fast. The shadow voice can be heard laughing and the barrier fades around the castle.

“Go on Paisley. Take your leave and see what’s out their!” The voice taunts and instigates. “Poor Princess Paisley. Trapped here for all eternity…”

“No!’ Paisley gets mad and strikes her blade down into the ground with musical notes filling the air. The surface cracks from between the gates, causing them to open, and down the path to where Ten and Mickey were swallowed by the shadow. Magic strikes and the shadow wails! “Who are you? What have you done to Ten!”

“Paisley…” Ten mutters. Paisley ceases her aggression.

“Ten! Where are you!” Paisley shouts.

“It belongs to you…” Ten mutters again.

“What do you mean?” Paisley. Suddenly Master Yen Sid appears. Paisley had a blank face for a moment and sternly shouts at him. “I don’t care if you took the Keyblade from me once before.” She holds it out. “Go ahead and take it!” She tosses it and the sound of metal bouncing and sliding can be heard. “Please!” Paisley drops to her knees begging her grandfather and grasping his robe. “He's in trouble! I need to help him!”

“And so you shall. A Keyblade will only answer to one’s heart.” Master Yen Sid Speaks. Paisley stands fast as the shadow reappears attempting to snag her Keyblade. It disappears and reappears within her hand. A shadow dives at her from behind and her pink star seeker blade appears behind her. It floats around her body very fast creating a cyclone if magic as she holds the other out. She disappears in a light and reappears by Ten.

“Ten! What is… is that your?” She looks at the heart he is holding close to him.

“Take it…” Ten mutters.

“No! I can’t. It’s yours. It belongs to you!” Paisley answers.

“You can have your freedom with it.” Ten speaks.

Shadows attack and Paisley lends Mickey a hand on defeating them. When they are pushed back she returns to Ten. “I don’t care about leaving the castle no more. I just want you safe!” A shadow sneaks up behind her and Ten manages to stand leaning over her to strike it down. His heart begins to float away as she drops him leaping up for it. The shadow begins swallow them both. When she touches the heart, it disappears. She panics and exhorts much magical energy in a panic. Pink light fills the entire area. When it fades, the shadow is gone, along with the creatures, and Paisley finds herself standing in the court yard being hugged by Taeil. In the forest not to far away Mickey shakes Ten who wakes up. He grabs his chest and runs forth to the gates to see Paisley.

Mickey is stopped by Master Yen Sid blockimg his path and bows immediately. “Oh! Master Yen Sid…”

“Mickey…” The master looks at him sternly.

“Y… yes? Did I do something wrong? I didn’t…” Mickey begins to reply.

“You have an excellent grasp and talent for magic. I have a proposition for you.” Master Yen Sid tells.

Paisley and Ten rush up to one another. The barrier divides them. They place their hands up mirroring one another. As they smile, both become shocked as a clear bubble surrounds him. It puts him to sleep and soon hardens then disappears.

“Ten?” Paisley begins to cry. Taeil rests his hand on her shoulder. “I just saved him. Where did he go?”

“Somewhere safe. He'll be along again.” Master Yen Sid speaks walking up to the gates with Mickey.

Paisley wipes the tears off her face. “Safe? Can I see him?”

“Not right now.” When Master Yen Sid approaches the barrier is shifts open in his shape to pass through. After, it shrinks down to Mickey's size who looks at it then rushes through it fast. Paisley looks at him as she stands. Mickey raises his eye brows as if he were to say something and then looks down with sorrow instead. “Mickey is my new Apprentice. I have taught you everything I can for here. But…” The master continues to walk up the stairs into the castle, “the day will come when more will be available to teach. For now, we must all rest.”

They watch the Master disappear into the castle and his tower appear. Mickey holds out his hand to Paisley, pulls back wiping it on his attire, and re holds it out smiling to her. “I don’t think we’ve ever been properly introduced. My name’s Mickey! Mickey Mouse!”

Paisley nods with a small smiles and curtsies with a bow, “Welcome Mickey! You may have any room you like, except my grandfather’s or mine's. Please make yourself at home. If you need assistance do not hesitate to ask.”

“And my name's Taeil! Please, no frowning here! Only smiles!” Taeil adds in.

“Aw shucks! That’s a great rule! I don’t need a whole room. To be in the castle is more than adequate. For now, you can direct me to any room and tomorrow I will explore to find where I feel most comfortable. C' mon!” Mickey starts to run. When going up the stairs he collapses from exhaustion.

“Mickey!” Paisley runs to him and Taeil appears above picking him up.

“Don’t worry. I guess I'm more tired than I thought.” Mickey explains. Taeil rests him in Paisley’s arms. She walks into the castle. “Ten was right…” Mickey mutters. Just before he falls asleep, “you’re full of warmth. It feels just like him…” Paisley smiles. Taeil smiles and poofs them to the king and queens bedroom. Paisley had not been in it for a very long time. She sets Mickey down in the center of the giant silk bed and smiles at a portrait of her family hanging on the wall. There are cob webs all over the place and she looks at Taeil.

“How long has it been? Since they…” Paisley asks. Taeil disappears and Paisley starts to ponder. She has lost track of time. Unaware of the day of the week or the month, she exits the room closing the doors quietly looking at Mickey with a smile. “At least Ten's safe. But, why and where was he sent away?” Paisley looks around to see most of the castle is dusty with cob webs and needing to be polished.

With Mickey at the castle Paisley found herself not being so bored all the time. She really enjoyed all the stories he would tell about Ten. The two were very similar. Especially when it came to pestering Master Yen Sid or doing magic beyond what they had been taught. Of course Paisley always took the blame when they would get caught. At times she would be jealous of Mickey. Her grandfather hadn’t spent so much time home as he was teaching Mickey. He would also take him with him on his ventures outside of the castle. They would try to take her with, but magic kept her right at the castle. When they would be gone, she always worried they wouldn’t return. Taeil would do his best to try and cheer her up.

Late one night Paisley was dreaming of Ten. It was of being in the darkness and the shadow swallowing him. She woke up frantic and sweaty. Taeil started to wipe her face dry. “It was a dream.”

“It was a nightmare!” Paisley gets out of bed. A light shines through her window from Maser Yen Sid's tower. “Training? At this hour?” She looks at Taeil and rushes to the window. She is shocked and takes off running out of her tower toward his. She busts through the door to see Ten with Mickey battling together. “Ten!”

“Paisley?” Ten is confused and turns around. Before he could look at her Master Yen Sid casts magic that pushes Paisley out of the tower. All the doors slam shut and the tower disappears.

Taeil rushes to Paisley, “What happened? What did you see?”

“I saw Ten!” She sits looking up thinking of him. “It’s been so long…” grabbing her chest her face becomes in aw, “I wonder how many times he’s been here? Or when he'll be back?” Taeil helps her stand and smiles at her smiling. “Do you think it was really him?”

“Let’s see…” Taeil casts a spell and creates a fake Ten. He bows and smiles at Paisley.

“This isn’t him. I don’t feel him when looking at this.” She scuffles her hands about making the fake Ten go away. “But, just a little but ago… that was him! I could feel him!”

Time went by. More than Paisley expected. It took tk raining a lot. Taeil would do his best to cheer her up and help pass time. From spells, to games, and gifts her happiness wouldn’t last. One day Paisley was laying in the garden taking a nap. Taeil appears looking down her upside down. “Wake up!”

Paisley jumps some, “what did you do that for?”

“Why are you sleeping? It’s actually a nice day today!” Taeil grabs Paisley’s forearm and pulls her up to stand. “Seems you spend so much time sleeping nowadays.”

“That’s because I get to see him…” She starts to walk around smelling flowers. “I don’t know how long its been…”

“Funny you should ask that.” Paisley looks at Taeil confused. “On today of all days.” He crosses his arms. “Don’t you know?”

Paisley shrugs, “The end of summer? The trees don’t seem so green.”

Taeil begins laughing, “you used to look forward to this so much when you were younger.”

“Oh…” Paisley walks away.

Taeil runs up to her side, “why can’t it be a happy day?”

Paisley stops and stomps her foot looking at Taeil with her hands in fists by her side, “what’s to be happy about? Bad things tend to happen whenever I'm aware of it. Plus…” She looks to the side gloomy, “what am I? Like 150? Why have I not aged!”

Taeil places an arm around her shoulder to walk her away, “172! It’s not common, but seeing as you are the only heir to the castle the magic that keeps you here must be preserving you for a reason.”

“What reason? To make me miserable and lonely?” Paisley responds and lowers her head

“Lonely? I'm offended!” Taeil starts to noogie Paisley.

“Hey! Stop! You'll ruin my hair!” Paisley pulls away.

“Aw fooey! You haven’t washed it in days. You need a bath!” Taeil casts a spell to make a big bucket of water dump over Paisley.

“A bubble bath!” She makes suds cover him. He wipes away the soap from his eyes. Paisley drops a giant water balloon on him by magic and takes off running. She starts to dodge oncoming water balloons from Taeil. The two end up in a battle back and forth tossing balloons. Taiel often flies around and Paisley does her best to evade. This goes on for some time. The corridor is full of water and suds. Suddenly…

*Ding dong*

The two stop and look in the direction of the echoing bells being rung. “Who? How?” Paisley runs and slides some. Taeil bumps her to not fall down flying beside her. Both rush to the main entrance. Paisley grabs the handle and starts to pull.

“Wait!” Taeil grabs her forearm halting her. “Be careful. Just encase…” Paisley nods and summons her pink Starseeker keyblade. They open the front doors to find a present. Wrapped in blue shiny paper having a light blue ribbon and a white tag. Paisley reads the tag with Taeil over her shoulder, to Paisley do not open for 3 days. “Well, I'll just take that!” He snags it out of her hands.

“Hey! It’s mine!” Paisley grabs it back and the two start to struggle with the back.

“You can’t open it for 3 days! What if it’s a trap! I should take it into the Godfairies to be examined!” Taeil shouts.

“No! Don’t you feel it? It’s from my grandfather!” Paisley rebuttals.

Taeil lets go of the box and pulls out his pocket watch to take a look. An image of Master Yen Sid appears, “Taeil! It is my box and gift to her this year. But… beware of the shadows. They are lurking everywhere outside of the castle.” Paisley and Taeil look out the door at the main gate. They see nothing. Taeil flies outside of the barrier to see a wall of them all the way around the castle. He looks back at Master Yen Sid. “They are after more than Paisley’s heart. But, something else that resides in that castle. You two must protect it! I am counting on you and they will strike on the anniversary of its birth.” The master fades out and Taeil returns to Paisley.

“Three days…” Taeil says.

“Yep. Until something bad happens again as it tends to do.” Paisley walks away with her present. She sets it on a table in the ballroom where gifts once used to be placed for her. She sits crossed legged on the table staring at it for hours with her hands rested beneath her chin. She is so zoned out she becomes dazed.

A voice whispers her name. “Paisley…” She is startled and looks around. “Paisley…” A ghostly figment of light passes in front of her face fast and disappears. She stands and draws her blade.

“Who are you! What do you want? How did you get in here?” Paisley shouts in the large empty echoing ballroom. The figment appears and moves around the room. Paisley attempts to strike it.

“I mean you no harm. In fact, I am a part of you!” The figment speaks. It forms a human like shape resembling Paisley. It reaches its hand out to her. “I am getting stronger.”

“Stronger? For what? Against who? How are you a part of me?” Paisley questions.

“Just take my hand and I'll show you.” The figment asks.

Paisley hesitates. Just before she touches the figment's hand she pulls it away hugging it turning her upper body slightly and stepping back. “This must be trick!” She summons her blade. “Leave! Now!”

“Very well, I will return when I have full strength. I understand why you don’t trust me. But, I am always honest.” It disappears leaving glistening light. Paisley looks around confused. “I'm just as excited to see him too!”

“Him? Ten? Ten! Teeennn! Te…” Paisley shouts.

“Paisley.” Taeil speaks stepping into the ballroom. Paisley looks at him and gets gloomy. He disappears and reappears next to her. Paisley starts to cry into his shoulder grabbing his shirt.

“I don’t understand…” Paisley sobs. “If I just knew why…”

“I know. Well, I don’t know. But, I know why you’re upset, sad, happy… I know you.” Taeil responds comforting her.

Paisley couldn’t sleep that night. She decided to check on her box. Opening the door to the ball room, the room was dark, but lit up by the glowing box. Paisley walks up to it and stares. She picks the box up and moves it to the floor sitting in front on her knees. She just stares and thinks about what may be inside. In her mind, she thinks of Ten. At the same time, she wants to see her grandfather again. After her family passed over hundred years ago, he’s all that’s left. Distant, and absent from her many years of life. Paisley looks out a window in the room letting in moonlight. She sees a clear sky with many stars. One shoots past the window.

“A shooting star!” Paisley closes her eyes, “I wish..  I wish…” He looks down. “My wishes never come true.” She looks up out the window with confidence using her hand over he knee to stand up tall! The figment of herself forms behind her. “I wish… I wish for the town to always be protected! No matter what happens to me or this castle!”

Taeil watched over her closely eavesdropping. He sees the figment and is puzzled. Not feeling a threat and his pocket watch does not show anything pertaining to it, he continues to examine. Paisley makes her wish. As soon as she does he and the figment nod. Both glow and much magic from them, and elsewhere fills Paisley and the surrounding area along with the castle.

Unknowingly, in the town…

With the dark forces building up around Paisley’s castle, and her trapped within the magical barrier, she was unaware to them attacking the nearby town. Ten and Mickey were not around to aid. Many fell to them. When Paisley made her wish, the figment entered her body. From it, not only did the white figment exit but a dark one too! Paisley falls to the ground fatigued.

“Paisley!” Taeil pushes the doors fully open, passing through them to Paisley. He holds her dropped over his lap. “What?”

“Don’t worry!” The figment speaks to Taeil looking down at he and Paisley. “Her wish has been granted!” The figment disappears in a bright light. Taiel looks at his pocket watch. When watching, he and Paisley, they witness the town. Many are in peril and both the light and dark figments appear to disperse of them. Paisley sits up and grabs Taiel’s watch to examine more  thoroughly. The town is filled with both a light and dark figment of Paisley who vanquish all the foes. They begin to speak of her.

“It’s Paisley!” A villager speaks.

“She has saved us once again! Just as the legends portray!” Another shouts when finding themselves relaxed not having to defend themselves and the town.

“Of course! She is always the one to rid of us the evil!” A mayor rushes out, with a sash saying so  from his home. In front of the many stones set up around where they sing and dance building the Paisley statue he stands. “You all know of the time of year it is! What great honour, and celebration it gives us to partake in the first festive initiative of it! Right?” Many cheer acknowledge him.

Paisley closes Taiel’s watch and stands up. Looking back and down at him for a moment, she takes off running. Up to the tallest tower she ran. Opening the door, the room is empty. She sees, in her mind, how it was decorated for many years being trapped within it. Straight to the balcony she rushes looking over. The town seems so peaceful. The sky and forest too! Taeil appears behind her from magic.

“Show me! Please! I don’t want to be lied to no more!” Paisley begs without looking at him still gazed over the town. Taeil thinks for moment and opens his watch. Mater Yen Sid nods yes. Taeil casts magic from the watch and himself. The barrier around the castle is effected. Paisley can now see how the town truly is now. More built upwards, wider, and advanced. She can see the darkness filling it. Shocked, she also sees lights of white and black dispersing it. “I feel so helpless! Is this all my fault?”

Paisley sat on the ledge watching over the town all day. She hadn’t slept. Slowly, the darkness began to shrink, but still overwhelmed everything outside of the castle barrier. The sun began to set and she hadn’t moved. Taeil appears next to her.

“You still haven’t bathed and now you’re not eating. You can’t let this consume you.” Taeil holds out a tray with a lid over it. “It’s your favourite!”

“I have no appetite.” Paisley continues to stare at the town. “There’s so much going on down there. Why is there no hero?”

“You’re their hero!” Taeil says and sets the tray down beside him.

“How can I be their hero if I'm trapped here. I mean… I have been concentrating on the town and can see and feel like I am there myself. But, different somehow. I can’t explain it.” Paisley sighs. Taeil opens his pocket watch and can see a form of Paisley with black hair in a long black robe using a keyblade. It resembles the skyline of the town along the blade having the castle as the handle. The image shifts and he can see Paisley with white hair having another keyblade. This one has a lotus flower at the end with petals and leaves decorating it to the handle where another flower is. Taiel taps Paisley on the shoulder and shows his watch to her.

“That’s me! She wasn’t lying…” Paisley stands up snagging the watch out of Taeil’s hand and stumbles. She falls off the ledge fast. Taeil appears beneath to catch her.

“Paisley! Why are you neglecting yourself and who you are?” Ten’s voice can be heard in Paisley’s head.

“Ten! Is that you? Where are you?” Paisley ask in her mind back as she falls looking up at the 1st star of the night. White magic consumes her just before Taeil could catch her.

“Paisley?” Taeil flies around the area searching. “Paisley!” He zooms through the castle sending multiple magical forms of himself looking for her. Paisley is nowhere to be seen. He returns to the tower and looks over the edge. The castle begins to tremble. Taeil notices the barrier, that was white with a blueish magical look starts to turn pink and then red. It ignites into a wall of flames! Parts of the castle begin to crumble from the tremors.

For a few minutes, Paisley appears in the town back to back with her two other forms. The behemoth returns to battle along with many creatures. Paisley summons her pink star seeker blade. As soon as she starts to run, both of her forearms are grabbed by her other selves. Looking at them both, they enter her body. A bright light of pink shoots into the sky. Taeil appears in town and hurries to Paisley. When he gets close, he is pushed back by the pink light overwhelming the entire area. It fills all pf the land and extinguishes the fire around the castle. Paisley remains fatigued.

“Run! Now! To the castle!” Master Yen Sid’s voice can be heard. Paisley starts to run and is picked up by Taeil. The barrier around the castle starts to ignite fire again causing the surrounding forest to burn. As soon as Paisley enters, the barrier returns to normal. Back to how it originally was before she defiled it. The forest stops burning and Paisley feels a sense of proudness. The town was saved and for a little bit, she was not in the castle.

“I wonder what would of happened if you didn’t come back? Just look at this? My magic won’t repair it.” Taeil starts to kick some rubble around.

“Everyone would have been hurt. But, you were right.” Paisley turns to Taeil. “I am their hero!”

Paisley finally was able to sleep. She slept a long time. Taeil watched over her. She was having both dreams and nightmares. The sun was setting again when she woke up. Taeil shoved a tray full of food in front of her when she woke. When she starts to eat, he uses magic to make them appear in the dining hall dressed up with a buffet of food. That night, Paisley spent hours in a large bubbly pool bathing. The rest, she was staring at her box.

“What happens when I open this? I had dreams about what was inside. Positive and Negative. But… my negative self is good too…” Paisley talks to herself.

Paisley is lightly pecked on her noes. Opening her eyes she sees a tiny pink finch looking at her. Other or various colours fly over and the pink one joins it. They being to chirp and sing. Paisley sits up and shakes Taeil next to her to wake up too.

“What? What! I'm up! I'm up! Hey… birds! Inside the castle!” Taeil flies up and joins them. Paisley stands as they cycle around her.

“Do you know how long its been since I sang with the birds?” Paisley asks Taeil. He summons a podium made of magic and taps his wand on it like a baton. An orchestra appears and Paisley zaps some of the furniture in the room to turn into living items. “How long has it beeeeen? Since I have sang a song? How long has it been it has been way too long! How long has it beeeeen?”

“How long has it beeeee?” The furniture sings

“How long has it beeeeen! How long has it been since I basked in the sun? How long has jt been since I've had this much fun? How long has it been since I have heard the town bell rung? How long has it been since I danced on my own… This feeling I have… it continues to grow!” Paisley falls back onto a magical cloud causing it to splash all over with a rainbow of colours.

“How long has it been, since you’ve made that big smile! How long has it been since you've had a good surprise? How long has it been since you opened your eyyyyyyeees!” Taeil sings. He grabs Paisley’s hand as she dances by leaving his wand continuing to conduct the music.

“Taeil, my best friend!” Paisley

“To the end!” Taeil

“You’re always their to help my heart mend! Taeil, my best friend! You put up with all my dents, and flaws. You put up with the bad thing I once…” Paisley.

“Shh…” Taeil places his finger over her lips shushing her.

“They are not flaws and I forgive you. In my heart, you will always be true. To learn what is right and to learn what is wrong, yep ah-huh,” He taps her noes, “That is what makes you strooooong!”

“So do you! And Ten and Grandpa and Mickey and the towns people and these birds and... and all my friends! The ones I have and yet to come!” Paisley.

“Like I said, stroooooong!”

“Stronger than all the rest! I don’t like to gloat, but you have me in that mode! I love this feeling I have with you and like you said it’s always true!” Paisley.

“Paisley… my best friend!” Taeil.

“To the end!” Paisley.

“You gave me more than just a chore, all of you I do adore. Through this and that and all the rest, I will face all you have just keep it coming as you do your best! I'm here for you day or night, especially when you tear from your eyes! I do not like that, do not want that, do not want you to go on back to how…” Taeil.

“Shh…” Paisley places her finger on Taeil’s lips to shush him this time. They both laugh and continue to dance as all the magic gets wilder and more spontaneous with the music.

“We are friend until the end, we may not know will happen, but if we are close together any situations better!” Paisley and Taeil.

“How long has it beeeeen?” Paisley

“How long has it beeeeen?” Taeil.

“How long has it been!” All.

The magic all explodes into a cloud leaving glittering dust floating down gently.

“So, are you ready for your birthday? Please tell me you will do something with your attire? It’s been so long since I've seen you wear something regal.” Taeil asks.

“What’s the point? Not like anyone’s going to see me.” Paisley looks around at Taeil, the birds, and furniture who look left out. She giggles, “Okay! I will go get ready now.” They exit the ballroom and hear the metal mail slot hit the door. An envelope is on the floor. Paisley runs, but Taeil appears near it picking it up first.

“It’s from the mayor! The barrier is allowing things in and out again! Just like the old days!” Taeil speaks.

“Yeah… but, probably not me. Go ahead and open it! What’s it say? What’s it say?” Paisley responds.

Taeil clears his throat before reading, “Dear, Princess Paisley. Just as ever are grateful to you in so many ways. You inspire, protect, and encourage the town and all around your castle. It has been so long since we were permitted on the grounds. Please! We only wish to throw you a celebration. It must be so lonely in that castle. We are curious about the damages to it and if we could help repair it. Please respond before the 10th bell today. Please! We love you Paisley! You’re friend, The Mayor.” Taeil looks at Paisley who is blushing and nods yes. He snaps his fingers for a quill and parchment to appear. Paisley writes a big yes, please, and thank you with her signature and gives it to the pink finch who takes it to the mayor.

The castle begins to fill with nearly the whole town. Many have brought gifts and over decorated with plenty of food. “I suppose you can…”

Taeil was looking at himself in multiple full length mirrors and Paisley was looking at him through her mirror in her vanity. “Can what?”

“Regal me!” Paisley says. Taeil smiles, hits his lip, and rubs his hands together making magic. Using his wand he taps Paisley for her to be dressed up in an elegant dress having extra sparkling magic glitter.

“Beautiful…” Taiel examines Paisley.

“You designed it.” Paisley replies.

Taeil stops and shakes his head, he flicks her noes, “I was talking about you.”

“What about you now?” Paisley asks.

“Me? What’s wrong with what I'm wearing?” Taeil asks.

“I've seen you wear it before. How about something more… festive?” Paisley asks. Taeil taps his own shoulder with his wand to change his ensemble. Both are in various shades of pink and orange. They walk down a royal staircase leading to the ballroom. Taeil encourages Paisley forth and she takes a deep breath before stepping out to the public she has not seen in over 150 years.

Paisley walks out in front of everyone nervous. Their chatter becomes silent as they gaze upon her. She sees some familiar faces, but mostly all new ones. “Uh, hi! I know it’s been a long time and many of you are curious to what’s been going on, but…” She looks at Taeil for a moment, “I don’t entirely have the answer. What I do know is that it fills me with much happiness to have my castle open to all again. Seeing all of your faces here before me is something I will cherish forever. All I ask from you is to be happy, live well, and enjoy this today. I would like it to continue, but just encase the barrier locks you all out again, I want today to be memorable.” She starts to walk to the throne. “ The last time visitors were in the castle like this, my father passed on his crown to me. Unfortunately…” He hand is recoiled back by a magical barrier reaching out to the throne, “I never got to accept it.” She faces the crowd again, “I have not yet earned the right. Or maybe it doesn’t belong to me. I stand before you not asking you to call me your Queen or Princess. I stand here simply as Paisley.”

“Our protector!” The Mayor shouts and rushes to her.

Paisley gets a face of sorrow looking down. “It’s my fault for so much. It was only right for me to fix my mistakes.”

“Nonsense! My dear…” He raises her chin, “I am three times your age. I have see centuries of things! Until the day you were born,” He taps her heart, “200 years ago today!”

“200?” Paisley speaks.

“200? I guess I lost count.” Taeil speaks to himself scratching the back of his head smiling with his eyes shut looking at Paisley.

“Yes! Part of why this day is important, but as I was saying, 200 years ago today you were born, how we lived was changed. What happened the other day was nothing. It was partially our own faults for getting too comfortable and relying on others. We will not let defend us alone ever again!” The may explains and raises Paisley’s hand into the air. The crowd cheers! “I speak for all of us, you will always be our Princess, until the day you are Queen!” The may gloats.

“If I can be Queen.” Paisley answers.

“Pish Posh!” The Mayor interrupts.

“Why don’t we celebrate us all together as one?” Paisley interrupts him. The crowd begins to cheer. “Why don’t we start the music and all dig into the food and festivities!” Paisley takes a step and is halted by the Mayor.

“But first…” The mayor snaps his fingers and a large cake 10 foot tall is wheeled close to the end of the throne stage. “How long has it been since you last had a cake like this for your birthday?” Taeil walks beside Paisley licking his lips. “We have all signed it too! The whole town!” Paisley looks over it covering her mouth in admiration. “Go ahead Paisley! Make a wish!”

Taeil casts some magic to create some steps for her to climb up to the flame at the very top. She closes her eyes and thinks. Opening her eyes she blows out the 200 candles on top with the help of some magic. The cake bends slightly, but regains it’s form. The whole room cheers! Paisley smiles and walks down the steps. Taeil takes her hand and everyone begins to enjoy themselves.

The time of the celebration came when Paisley was forced to open her gifts. The whole she dreaded this moment. The past few days all she could think about was what may be in the present delivered to her. Now, she fears some of her nightmares lately. She really enjoyed the celebration and didn’t want it to be as the last time they were all celebrating her birthday. The pile of presents became smaller and smaller. Eventually, only one present remained. Taeil brought it over to her. It was glowing gold a4ound the blue box with the light blue ribbon. Paisley took a deep breath and pulled the ribbon. When it un tangled, Paisley lifted the lid of the box off. Much magic began to pour out as the box shook, lifted up into the air, and blinded all watching. Paisley was first to witness Master Yen Sid, Ten, and Mickey standing before her. She took some steps fast toward them and stopped. She looks back and forth between her grandfather and Ten. Master Yen Sid nods closing his eyes and gestures her to Ten. Paisley smiles so largely and runs fast to leap within his arms as he approached her. He spins her around as the two express much happiness. The people of the town aw. Master Yen Sid shakes the hand of the mayor and walks to the center of the stage below the throne for all to see him. Paisley pushes herself put of Ten’s arms and drops to her knees to gran Mickey hugging. She rocks him side to and stands to hug him with Ten. Taeil appears to join in the group hug. Master Yen Sid conjures a chair and sits. The music slows and Ten kisses Paisley’s hand while stepping back and bowing. She curtsies and Taeil taps Ten's shoulder to change his attire. Next, he taps Paisley and both are in their garments from the last celebration. They begin to dance. Master Yen Sid stands and takes over the podium to conduct the orchestra. He clears his throat.

“Let’s play a subtle tune… the one that sets the room. We'll dim the lights…” Master Yen Sid uses magic to change the lighting of the ballroom, “we'll set the mood. Time for all to pair up within the room. Just take a hand of the one you love, or wish to know, either way your faces glow. Dancing left and dancing right, in our hearts all feels just right! Let’s play a subtle tune! Let us all enjoy the light beneath the moon!” He casts a spell to make the sky appear in the room with the moon shining bright and full. “Let us all adore the lore as we make this night ever more! Let’s play a subtle tune! Can you feel their hearts? The warmth that shall never part! Can you feel their hearts? They have know, and so have I, exactly from the start! Let’s play a subtle tune! Feel the magic of the night! Feel the spectatic gathering of us all! Who knows… what venture comes… Let’s play a subtle tune… the one that sets the room! Just take a hand of the one you love! Or wish to know! Either way your faces glow! Dancing left and dancing right, in our hearts all feels just right! Can you feel their hearts? The warmth that shall never part! Can you feel their hearts? They have know, and so have I, exactly from the start!” Master Yen Sid continues to sing as many dance. Ten and Paisley can’t separate their gaze from one another.

“I've missed you! So much!” Paisley speaks.

“I’ve thought about you all the time!” Ten replies.

“What have you been doing? Where have you been? Is this… will you… can you… can we… you probably won’t…” Paisley questions and looks away disappointed. He chin is raised by Ten just before his spins her out, while dancing, to pull her in close to his chest. He leans down over her shoulder hugging her tightly as they dance.

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s cherish this moment!” Ten speaks. Paisley squeezes her hands around him more and the two continued to dance. Mickey even was dancing with a young female mouse.

The night drags out making it long, but worth while. Ten and Paisley find themselves holding hands walking about the castle grounds.

“You still can’t leave?” Ten asks. Paisley runs close the outer wall for it to recoil it back, just as it had in their youth. When she bounces back, flying through the air, Ten catches her within his arm. Paisley wraps her arms around his neck as he continues to walk.

“I don’t want to think about it. I've lost track of time. I don’t feel 200… wait!” She shoves herself out of his arms to look up at him. “How old does that make you?” Ten shrugs. Paisley hugs him. Grabbing his arm she rests her head on it as they continue to walk and talk.

The morning began to rise. Paisley and Ten were holding hands sitting on the ledge of the tallest tower looking at the sunrise. Paisley displays a face of sadness.

“What’s wrong?” Ten asks confused looking at Paisley grabbing her hand with both of his.

“This won’t last… anything I enjoy or like… is always ripped away from me…” Paisley looks blankly over the horizon. “I can feel it… not only you.” She looks at Ten in full aw slightly turning her face to him, “I can feel you. Even when you’re not here directly. The past hours…” she looks back over the horizon, “Here with me…” She squeezes his hand holding her, “It’s a whole knew strength!” Magic sparks from their hands and they raise them between each other looking at one another. “That day… when…”

“It belongs to you!” Ten embraces her hands on his chest, “Please!”

“Yes! It belongs to you! It’s just… I fear that…” Paisley stutters.

“It doesn’t matter. Nothing made me more happy that day!” Ten plants a kiss on Paisley and the sun sets real fast. The area becomes dark and the castle shakes. Paisley and Ten stand up holding one another.

“You can not hide the purest heart from me! Purest of them all, I shall see if fall!” The shadow face appears in the area outside of the castle in front of them both. The shadow attacks fast! Neither Ten or Paisley could make themselves stable to block.

“Paisley!” A voice is heard falling from above.

“Attack! Now!” The mayor shouts. Many begin to use magic of all sorts on the shadow along with various weapons.

Just before the shadow could strike the young couple a black and white furry lemur fell with a shield, being a star shape, to defend them both. The magic repealed off, but pushed the lemur back. Paisley and Ten catch him together, while sliding back into the tower. Paisley shoves herself forward and shoves Ten back with magic, sending him and the lemur into the wall. He hits it with his back and looks to the aide to see the etching of Paisley, Taeil. And he. As she draws her blade running to the edge she leaps off with her pink star seeker high in the air. The lemur runs and does the same as Ten is mesmerized by the picture on the wall. Taeil zaps the Lemur to help him fly about the area for both of them to aid Paisley.

The three use multiple tactics of combat and magic based off their skills. Paisley takes rhe face straight on using her keyblade with multiple strikes over and over. Taeil uses more magic with his wand to keep other attacks away from her and keep everyone healthy and strong. The lemur blocks many attacks and bats or tosses his shield. Many of the town continue to aid from the ground. Eventually, the shadow grows and the area fills of darkness. Only Paisley, Ten, and the lemur were left with the shadowy face and enemies all about the area.

Ten notices outside go silent, “oh no!” He rushes to the balcony to see the enemy gone along with Paisley. Many of the town look and search around down below.

“Did we do it friend?” the mayor questions walking around with a spear. “Stay alert! Just encase!”

The shadow grows angry, “Ahg! How dare you! In my realm you are useless against me!”

Paisley and the lemur bump into one another back to back as Tail flies to them. They jump turning around fast facing one another. Simultaneously they shout, “sorry!” Then they giggle some. “Behind you!” Both dive and take out enemies sneaking up behind one another.

“Thanks!” Paisley raises her blade high into the air horizontally above her head raising her other hand below it also above her head with an open palm up having bent fingers. A magical barrier surrounds her and the lemur. He looks around amazed and prepped as many enemies are steuck by the magic when attempting to strike them. “My name’s Paisley!”

“I know! You can call me Indri (In-dr-ee)! This is amazing!” Indri replies.

Taeil nears and dives into the barrier directly to Paisley. Landing, Paisley holds her hand out to him with her star charm in hand and the other holding her blade up with the shield. Taeil takes her hand fast and grabs Indri's. Paisley disperses her blade and grabs Indri's other hand. The three create a circle with their backs together and a star forms beneath their feet with magic rising fast to change their outfits, weapons, and output against the enemy. Paisley has her 16th note blade, Taeil his quarter note wand, and Indri is given a new shield resembling an 8th note having breve in the center. All are in mostly black matching attire and start to attack the shadow and enemies successfully again. Musical notes fill the area off their attacks. The shadow rises high into the air and the three rush forth and clash their weapon high above themselves and below the shadow causing a strong magical current to eliminate the enemy. White light fills the area. When it clears, they find themselves standing in front of the main gate of the castle. The townsfolk begin to cheer gathering around.

“Paisley!” Ten shouts looking over the railing above in the tower.

“Ten!” Paisley attempts to run, to be rushed by the crowd unable to do so.

“It’s not safe for you to be here…” Master Yen Sid speaks. Ten turns around in the tower looking at him looking at the drawing that Ten has etched a heart around he and Paisley.

“Huh?” Ten says.

“You heard me. You know exactly what I mean.” Master Ten Sid turns facing Ten.

“Maybe I do. But, maybe I don’t.” Ten looks away. “Maybe, I don’t know what to do cause I don’t…” a tear falls from one of his eyes that he wipes away fast.

“Maybe you should listen to me when I say…” Master Yen Sid approaches Ten, “Leave! Leave this place!” He holds his hand out to the side and a set of armour appears with a magical overboard appears. Ten looks at it amazed. “Simply walk into this gear and it’s yours.” Ten looks back at Master Yen Sid hesitant. “If you need me, simply call. We’re…” Master Yen Sid becomes hesitant, “you know why. Please! Take it! I wish Paisley to become all that she can.”

Ten walks around the armour and board he looks back at Master Yen Sid, “You promise she’ll be safe?” He nods to him. “Then I must. I have to protect…” He grabs his heart and a spark of magic emits shocking him with a grand smile as a response. Ten nods looking at the armour who mimics his actions. Ten walks into the armour and it embraces his being. Ten 3xits out the window fast on the hover board in the armour and zooms off fast into the sky disappearing. Paisley sees this and her smiles leaves her face. In her being she knows that was Ten.

Paisley is sitting starring at the etching in the tallest tower of her castle. For a long time, she has been drawn to the changes Ten made to it. The door opens to the tower and Paisley stands up fast alerted. “Oh! Hi Indri.”

“Paisley!” He hurries over to her and hugs her tightly. “You've been up here forever! Come outside and play with us! It’s so gloomy out and we know the sun will come out if we perk you up!” Paisley joins many outside and the sun did come out.

One of the kids comes up and tugs on her garment for her attention, “Oh Paisley! Could you show us some magic?” The kid asks and excites the rest to rush over. Her star charm begins to float in front of her. It reflects an image of Taeil behind her. She grabs it and looks back. He nods and Indri grabs her hand. The three stand back to back holding hands. A star shape appears beneath them as their attire and weapons change. Taiel uses his staff to draw lines in the air and on the ground. Indri begins to jump on the ground making notes as Paisley strikes the lines in the air to make notes and a gentle balearic melody. Taeil starts to hmm and sing along. The three harmonize together. (Scales, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do)

“Do you know your do, re, mi's?” Paisley does.

“Yes I do, fa, so, la, ti!” Taeil.

“Do!” Indri.

The three, “Ohhhh oh oooh!”

“Do you know your do, re, mi?” Paisley sings as her keyblade continues striking notes to play music by magic with the help of Indri’s shield and Taeil staff as they dance around with the kids.

“Yes we do! Fa, so, la, ti!” Children.

“Do! Ohhhh oh oooh” All.

“If you sing along with me, your do, re, mi, you shall see!” Paisley.

“What will happen, what will show, what we will do for this show!” Indri.

“We sing our scales loud and strong, fa, so, la, ti, then do!” Taeil.

“Can you say them? Can you sing them? If you know them then you can play them!” Paisley.

“We can say them, we can sing them, if we know them we'll help you play them!” The children all take their place near the edge of the staff lines. They all take their place and sing their scales individually while jumping on a notes. “Do. Re. Mi. Fa. So. La. Ti.”

Taeil, Paisley, and Indri all jump to the last note together. “Do!” They collide and slam notes on the staff when they fall back. “Oooh oh ohhh!”

“Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Mi, Re, Do!” Paisley stands.

“Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do!” Indri.

“Do, Ti, La, So, Fa, Mi, Re, Do!” Children.

“Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Doooo!” Taeil.

“We all know our scales up and down, now it’s time to flip them around! My favourites, Reeee! Fa, So, Tiiii!”

“Do! Ooooh oh ooohh!” Taeil and Indri.

“Re, Fa, So, Ti!” Paisley.

“Re, Fa, So, Ti!” Children.

“Do, Mi, La!” Taeil.

“Do, Mi, La!” Children.

“Do!” Indri!

“Do!" Children.

“oooooh oh oohhh!” All.

“Do. Re. Mi. Fa. So. La. Ti. Do!” Children. “Do. Ti. La. So. Fa. Mi. Re. Do!”

“Do ooohhh oh ohhh!” All. They all start laughing and giggling as the music stopped.

Many of the town started coming to the castle often. Mickey had been working with many of the town to repair the damages and clean the castle. It didn’t take too long for the castle to be vibrant once again. “Mickey!” Paisley shouts to him just before he enters the ball room. She is in her pink wizard robe and Mickey is in his red one. Both have one white gloves.

Mickey stops and waves to her. “Good morning Paisley!”

“Whatcha doing?” Paisley asks.

“Well… I'll show you!” Mickey pushes the door open. “Ladies first!” He gestures Paisley inside. She bows to him slightly and walks in. Mickey closes the door and start to run. He stops halfway to the throne and turns around jumping, “C'mon! This way!” He runs to the throne with Paisley behind. He stops looking at the throne. “You know how this has some magic about it?” Paisley nods. “and nobody can seem to touch it?” He attempts to touch the arm to be pushed back. “I was curious about this crown symbol in the back of the chair.”

“It’s my father’s crown. It hasn’t always looked like that.” Paisley answers.

“Correct! But…” Mickey looks around cautiously and waves his hand for her to lean down close. He whispers in her ear, “whatever happened to the crown? Maybe if we had it, it would let us sit in it!”

Paisley giggles and stands up covering her mouth. “Mickey! You’re amazing! I hate to be the one to burst your bubble…” Paisley closes her eyes and reaches her hand out to the throne. Her hand begins to glow white with a sphere around it. She opens her eyes looking at Mickey over her shoulder, “You have to promise not to tell no one!”

“I promise! You can always trust me!” Mickey replies.

Paisley reaches her other hand below her elbow down to him with her pinky out. “Promise?”

“Pinky sware!” Mickey and Paisley pinky sware. A spark of magic cycles around their pinkies and hands. Paisley smiles and looks back at the throne.

“I know lying is bad. Sometimes we have to, in order to protect the ones we love.” The sphere around Paisley’s hand moves to the throne over it. It soon morphs into a crown and Paisley sits down with it falling on her head.

“Wait a minute?” Mickey is surprised.

“Yes! I am queen. I don’t want to be…” Paisley responds.

“No! What of your father’s crown? That one’s different.” Mickey explains.

“This is the queens crown. The kings… it will come back one day.” Paisley replies.

“This is amazing! All my theories…” Mickey crosses his arms.

“I'm sorry.” Paisley closes her eyes thinking.

“Sorry? Don’t be! This changes so much and gives me lost to think about.” Mickey says.

“Has my grandfather shown you?” Paisley asks.

“Shown me what?” Mickey is curious.

“The magic that binds me to this castle?” Paisley asks staring blankly. “My hated enemy. The hero of everyone else.” Mickey shakes his head no with some fear. “Ok…” She presses a hidden switch under the arm of the throne. The small stage below start to slide open. A dark set of stairs is revealed. Paisley grabs Mickey’s hand and walks him down below. It was very dark, nothing could be seen until a door was opened. The next room was filled with light! In the center of the room was a small podium perfectly holding an orb having much magic inside it.

“Wow! It’s so bright down here. It’s almost overwhelming. That thing is illuminating so much light!” Mickey explains. “What is it?”

“It’s a stone of some sort and it has light. It appeared the day I was born. Not sure what it is. We just know it’s magic is the same as the barrier that keeps me here. It will react to my at times.” Paisley explains and stares into the stone. “Sometimes…” She places her hands on it, “I can hear it calling out to me. Almost like I'm supposed to use it. I can’t figure out how.”

“It has some scratches on it.” Mickey notices.

“Yeah… I've tried to destroy it. It’s unbreakable.” Paisley responds. She wipes her hand over one and it repairs, “I can remove them. I leave them in as a reminder to myself.”

“What sort of reminder?” Mickey asks.

“That some scratches scar and are there forever.” Paisley steps back and exits the room. “Make sure you close everything up. I have stuff on my mind.” Paisley walks outside to her family mausoleum. It was filled with cob webs and dust. Using magic, she cleans up the place and decorates the sarcophaguses with flowers. Sitting between them all she falls to her knees and removes her crown. Looking into it she can see Ten and smiles.

A lot of time passes. Many birthday celebrations pass. Paisley makes wish after wish over and over. The only thing that runs through her mind daily is… Ten. Being able to leave and travel as he has been is what she craves most! Often times, she can see through his eyes.

Ten is in an unknown world to Paisley. She can see through his eyes and stops in the middle of the castle walking to take in what has came across her mind. From Ten's eyes she sees him surrounded by enemies. He draws his blade. It now resembled the ocean with a setting summer sun. Quickly he strikes from his left to right horizontally in front of him leaning into it. Using magic of fire and ice he defeats some behind him and attacking from his sides. Paisley drops to her knees grabbing her chest inside her castle. A large enemy appears to attack Ten. Ge turns around fast running toward it. He leaps with magic surrounding his body to strike it hard. Mickey enters the hall to see Paisley. He rushes to her fast. The second he approached she grabs his chest, by his clothes, and slams him into the wall while standing. A magical portal had opened sending Mickey flying. Paisley attempts to enter, only to be recoiled back to her butt on the ground. The white figment of herself appears nodding at her before entering the portal with ease. Paisley gets slightly angry and stands up fast attempting to enter the portal for it to disappear. Banging on the wall she closes her eyes to focus her energy as best possible. This time, she can see through the eyes of her light figment. Ten sees Mickey rolls through the portal to him and helps him stand. Shortly after, Paisley exits having her white hair. He stops puzzled. This Paisley quickly summons much magic to fill the area all about causing much damage to the large enemy and eliminating the smaller ones. She grabs Ten’s hand pulling him behind her to the creature.  Both of their blades change to resemble electronic waves with light similar to squiggly lines. Their attire changes to be a variation of rainbow having all colours. Paisley draws strength from Ten and strikes hard against the enemy with Ten aiding her. Mickey attacks with his own skills. In no tike, the three overcome the monster. When it perishes, Paisley grabs Ten’s hand looking at him to the side. Smiling, he looks at her happily. Quickly, he pulls his hand away. Paisley’s face is saddened.

“You may look like her! But, you’re not!” Ten shouts. He grans his heart, “I can feel her! You… you’re not the one J spent many hours with who I… I fell for… Spent so much time witb getting to know….” The light figment of Paisley places her hand over his lips shushing him and disappears by magic. Ten stares blankly over the situation.

“Boy! Ten! It’s good to see you!” Mickey speaks.

Ten look a at him smiling, “I've missed you so much, my friend!”

“I have loads to tell ya!” Mickey excitedly replies.

“I'm sorry… I have things to do.” Ten summons his armoured suit and board. He disappears fast. Mickey manages to grab on and follow. The two land in another world.

Paisley was in the hall holding her heart with her eyes closed. Indri runs up fast to her. Eventually, she passes out fully. Indri catches her and take her to her room. Paisley slept for a long time. Indri and Taeil kept watch over her. Both shut down the castle to other’s with Mickey’s absence and Paisley’s state.

“Huh!” Indri shouts and stands up fast alerted to Paisley’s discomfort as she sleeps. Taeil stops her. “What if she needs us?”  Paisley is sleeping in her bed as if having a nightmare. Indri is upset and feels helpless. He makes a fist looking away from Paisley as Taeil holds a hand over his chest halting him. Magic begins to pull both of their gazes to her. “Look!” Indri is amazed to what he sees as Taeil watches seeing something he has seen countless times. Paisley raises her right hand in the air above her. A platinum kingdom key appears within her grasp. Magic exits the end soaring throughout the castle into the vast universe. “What? Where do you suppose…”

“Don’t know…” Taeil stands up and begins to pace about. “This has happened her entire life. The magic moves too fast for us to follow." He stands and conjures a flower within his hands. He places it within her hands “Somewhere out there… some day…” Taeil looks up as he kneels grabbing Paisley’s hand beside her as she sleeps. “We may or may not know.”

Ten took of running to be attacked by more enemies. Mickey catches up to him. The two begin combat. Together they work together, just like the old days to aid one another. More and more of the light coloured type enemies begin to appear. They are nearly matched until even more show and overwhelm them both.

“No…” Ten struggles as he and Mickey are wrapped up by enemies.

“What do we do?” Mickey panics. They are near a fountain of some sort in a district of a town. Within the mural behind the fountain a beam of white light strikes it from the sky. It creates a keyhole shape and the light disperses. The keyhole emits magic and many of the dark enemies start to pour out. The lighter ones begin to retaliate. Ten and Mickey are freed and watch the two species attack one another. “How interesting?”

“Should we? Should we do something?” Ten questions. “Look!” He points. From the keyhole Paisley in her darker form exits with more enemies. She runs straight toward Ten with his black keyblade of hearts he first used. “Hey!” He is unable to summon it to himself and instead summons a different blade resembling an ice ocean. He takes a stance and Paisley moves through him, like a ghost, and strikes a large enemy that was about to slam Ten. Ten is confused as is Mickey. Paisley summons many of the dark enemies to aid her against the large creature. They work together to claim victory! When the larger enemy was gone, the rest vanished. All that remained was the darker enemies. They gathered around Paisley as she begins to walk away. “Wait!” Paisley looks back with her black hair and puts on her hood. “How did you get that Keyblade?”

“You gave it to me.” Paisley speaks.

“No I didn’t!” Ten gets furious and charges at her. He passes right through her and turns around.

“You gave your heart to me.” She speaks.

“No! It belongs to Paisley! You’re not her! I don’t know you and have never spent time with you!” He is angry and rushes in to attack. The enemies all pounce him.

“Ten!” Mickey shouts and is surrounded by enemies.

“You’re working with these… these heartless begins! How dare you!” Ten struggles and is pulled to the ground. He looks up at Paisley.

“I am Paisley.” She disappears with all the enemies.

“Come back here! Fight me! You’re not her!” Ten stands up looking around.

“She does look exactly like her.” Mickey says.

“Shut up! It’s not her!” Ten looks at Mickey. “I'm sorry. If it was her, why would she work with those things? It doesn’t feel like her.” He grabs his chest over the heart, “I can feel her with me in here.”

“Ten… Ten!” Paisley sits up fast in her bed grabbing her heart.

“Paisley!” Indri shouts and hugs her. “I was so worried!”

“Indri. Thanks. I'm doing just fine. I was just a little tired. That’s all. How long was I asleep?” Paisley asks.

“A few days.” Taeil responds.

“Is Mickey around? I need to talk to him about something.” Paisley looks around.

“He's been gone for a couple days. Since…” Taeil starts to explain.

Paisley gasps! “You mean… I really… oh…”

Years went by. Paisley began to be distant from all. She would spend much of her time in the tallest tower. Sitting on the ledge looking out thinking beyond the world she has never ventured from, to staring at the etching on the wall. Often she would zone out, pass out, or uncontrollably do actions unknowingly. She would find herself in both of the figment’s forms in other places. Or communicating with Ten. Those were her favourite.

“Ten!” Paisley runs up to Ten in the darkness. The two hug. Every time they meet enemies arise. Working together they eliminate the threat. Before they can ever make conversation they find themselves separated or waking up from. A slumber.

“Paisley?” Taeil speaks her name peeking through her bedroom door. She sits up. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you.” He walks in. “All this sleeping has me worried.” He sits on the edge of her bed. “You know what happens when you dream sometimes.”

“I know. Thanks!” Paisley rolls away from him laying back down. “I can’t help it. I love my dreams! Even the ones that are not…”

“Not?” Taeil questions.

“Not something others would want to dream about.” Paisley answers closing her eyes pulling her blanker over herself and hugging it.

Taeil lifts the blanket as magic changes him into a nightgown with a hat and he crawls into bed with her. “Will you tell me?” Paisley pulls the pillow from under his head toward him and his head falls. She flips around and flops it between them. The two rest their heads on the pillow looking at one another hugging it.

“Do you want to know the good or bad?” Paisley asks making a face.

“Both! If it makes you happy, it will me. What makes the bad ones seem that way?” Taeil grabs her hand and they lock fingers. “You used to tell me everything.”

“I know. I'm sorry. I should. You’ve always been their for me! You know all aspects of me from good to bad and in between. I suppose what I call bad is from what the townsfolk fear. I've seen…. In my dreams… myself. Controlling the enemies and swarming places I've never seen before.”

“Controlling them?” Taeil is curious.

“Yes! Remember that figment of myself? There are two! A light and dark variation of me! Me with black hair and me with white hair. Just like the enemies. Sometimes I find myself seeing through both of them at the same time facing the same thing back and forth!” Paisley says.

“What’s that like? I don’t get what you mean.” Taiel is confused.

“When these moments happen, I am always up against things that aren’t like the enemies. Both aide of the enemies aid both forms of myself to work together against… against… another enemy?” Paisley makes a confused face. “I don’t know how to explain it exactly.” Paisley looks away from a moment. “Wait! I know!” Paisley sits up slightly and grabs Taiel’s other hand. As she lays back down locking fingers she pulls both of his hand bear her chest and leans into them. They both close their eyes. Joining together in harmony for some time, Paisley begins to glow pink. Taeil peeks when he feels her. The two both begin to shortly. Taeil can see what’s going on in Paisley’s mind.

“Is this real?” Taiel feels himself looming around at himself looking down at form Paisley walking with a group of dark enemies about her. Seeing Paisley in trouble, no matter what the form, he flies down fast to aid. Just as a group of the opposing enemy attempted to strike her, he blocks them with his magic. His star staff soon changes to look like a lotus flower at the end with a vines and leaves down behind it for the handle. A large magic shape of the lotus flower fills the area expelling all forces of both sides. Paisley, with white hair, is confused standing up relaxed. Her lotus Keyblade disperses and she turns around looking at Taeil.

“Taeil!” Paisley falls into his chest embracing him. “I've missed you!”

Taeil instinctively embraces her back with his hands wrapped around her resting his head upon hers. “Paisley…” He speaks softly. His eyes close holding her tighter. “I’m always here for you. Right now… I feel I haven’t…”

Paisley pushes herself back from him looking up into his eyes, “No! You’re amazing! To have you here right now…” She looks away smiling, “It’s more than I could ask!” She grabs his hand and begins to run. “C’ mon!” In no time a magical effect glows beneath their feet and soon the entire area. Taeil looks around in astonishment. Light fill the area multiple times when they pass through it. Paisley and Taeil run right into a battle. Both seen Ten and Mickey in combat. Quickly they join in aid. Ten had pulled out the flower he picked long ago. Many dark forces raised to aid him. Paisley and Taeil rush in. Teail swipes hi staff with much magic pushing back many foes. Paisley raises her keyblade in the air horizontally above her head. One hand is holding the handle and the other is near the tip of the blade. A barrier fills the area around her, Ten, and Taeil. Mickey had leapt to strike an oncoming attack. When he prevails to look back at the others a dark grim hand grabs him from below, pulling him into the darkness. Paisley’s attire changes to a blue shade along with Taiel and Ten having similar attire. Paisley now has a keyblade resembling snowflakes along this blade with a larger one at the handle. A shield takes her other hand I. The shape of one snowflake. Taiel’s staff shifts to have a snowflake at the end and white for the handle, with more snowflakes for quillions. Ten leaps as his blade changes to correspond with Paisley! His being a darker blue than hers with the same shape and a shi3ld appearing just in time to block and attack. All three jump backwards back to back and raise their weapons. Teail holds his open hand out straight in front of him with an open palm. Much snowy magic escapes him palm as he begins to walk around in a circular shape with Paisley and Ten to eliminate the foes. He flies into the air and creates a blizzard of snow. All enemies freeze! The three loom back at one another smiling. Paisley and Taeil smile reaching for one another's hands. More magic expels out as each of then gran Ten's hand. The three cycle together and eliminate all of the threats! When completed, the smiles and relax.

Ten rejects his happiness and starts to walk away backwards holding his blade towards Paisley and Taeil. “What is this! You’re not her!”

“What do mean? This is Paisley! In and out! I know!” Taeil gets angry and starts to run after Ten. The two collide! Ten holds his blade in his right hand behind his back to his left side upper under slashing from his left slide to block Taeil flying in the air and striking down with both hands on his staff onto Ten’s blade. As he does this, much snow begins to fill the area. Paisley rushes forth for the two to be surrounded by a large barrier of ice in a snowflake shape. She rests both of her hands in the exterior watching two she cares for face one another.

Taeil starts to point his staff multiple ways for snowflakes to emit toward Ten who starts to stile them down one another until he exhorts enough to full the area full of a snowy ground and blizzard. Ten start to shuffle through the blizzard searching for Taeil. He slices the snow with his blade. Breath can be seen from him and Taeil mouth. Taeil is flying high above him with the same struggle in the snow. Just as he starts tk dive down to attack Ten, Paisley shouts.

“No!” Paisley’s voice echos and emits a powerful magic. Both and Taeil and Ten are frozen in place. She manages to break through the ice cracking by her hands. Running forth she tackles them both. Perfectly in sync with both of their moves they are launches into the light. All three are falling.

Taeil grabs Paisley and rests his head on her chest, “I'm sorry… It’s like you said, I can’t explain it.”

Ten is nearby with his arms cross looking T the two unammused, “This not the Paisley I know.”

“How dare you!” Taiel strikes with his original star staff for Ten to move out of the way. The light form of Paisley intervenes between both.

Looking at Taeil, she tell him, “Thank you!” She looks at Ten. “I am always true to you! It belongs to you too!” Ten is shocked relaxing and Paisley disappears.

This time when Paisley opens her eyes, she sees Taeil struggling in his sleep. She releases his hands to wrap her arms around him tightly. Days went by with him in the sta3bof stressful and peaceful dreams sleeping as Paisley had been often for some time.

Ten finds himself traveling many worlds. Taeil had been accompanying him. The two worked well and got along. Both forms of Paisley with white and black hair would join them. To Taeil, they were Paisley, no matter how much Ten rejected her. One day as Ten was flying on his hover board and Taeil was flying beside him, Taeil began to fade. The two stop. Taeil lands on the ground and looks at his hands becoming transparent.

“What’s going on?” Taeil questions slightly scared. “I'm not ready to leave!”

Ten reaches out trying to grab him for his hands to pass right through him. “Is this a spell? You’re not dying are you!” Ten panics.

“I don’t think so. I'm, I feel… Paisley…” Taeil looks at Ten sad.

“I wish I could go to her too…” Ten looks away grimly, “But, I can’t…” A shooting star passes by between them. It circles around Ten.

“Our star!” Taeil gets excited.

“No! I can’t! I promised!” Ten starts to run and is chased by the star.

“You can’t take back a wish!” Taeil shouts. Ten runs back and is tackled by the star. It disappears leaving magic dust all over. Taeil leans down trying to help him up with no luck of him disappearing.

Ten pushes himself up and looks at Taeil who laughs at him. “What?”

“You’re so sparkly! It’s cute! Reminds me of this time Paisley…” Before they knew it, Taeil had completely vanished speaking.

“Goodbye, Taeil…” Ten reached his hand out toward Taeil as he faded completely. Afterwards, he stood up and started to brush off the magic dust from him. “I promised him I wouldn’t go back to the castle. Not as long as I have…” He grabs his heart. “Paisley…” he whispers. “It’s almost your birthday.” He pulls out the flower. “I will give you this one day.” Enemies begin to arise and Ten takes care of them. When they are all gone a vine trips him from the ground as he took a step. He follows the vine to find another flower! Almost exactly the same, but a lighter shade. As before he picks it just like the first. The other enemies appear drawn to that one. Ten disperses them all and places both flowers in pockets within his attire.

In the castle Paisley and Indri were watching Taeil struggle in his sleep. “Taeil… wake up Taeil.” Paisley calmly speaks.

“This time Paisley was making this magic card and… Ten!” Taeil sits up fast shouting Ten’s name. He looks around. Indri hugs him! “It was just a dream? It felt so real!” Taeil starts to touch his chest all over to see if he is physically there.

“It wasn’t a dream.” Paisley tells him.

“But you were sleeping!” Indri squeezes him harded and starts to shake him side to side. “You made me worried at times yelling and sometimes casting magic! You’re back now! I'm happy! Yes, yes, I am happy, happy, happy!” he reaches out to Paisley and hugs both of them. “We're all together again!”

“Thanks Indri!” Taeil speaks. “I did miss you both. I liked being with Ten.” He looks at Paisley as the three separate. “I can see why you like him.”

“I'm jealous! He is pretty awesome! Just like you two! Why don’t we do something fabulous?” Paisley nudges Taeil with her elbow, “Think with all that sleeping you’ve been doing you need some training!” She starts to run and Indri starts to push Taeil out of his bed.

“Training!” Taeil stumbles slightly and Indri catches him. Paisley leans into the room smilingly. “Okay, maybe some physical training. However, I picked up some new things! Let’s see…” He holds his hand out and a staff resembling a phoenix with feathers about it appears. “I still have it!” Taeil is happy and holds it directly into the air above him. He grabs Indri’s hand and the two turn into phoenix and start to fly out of the room. Paisley races them to one of the practice rooms in the castle. Taeil and Indri land as themselves before Paisley. A bunch if feathers gather in front of Indri. They poof away leaving a shield having a phoenix with its wings out upon it.

“Whoa!” Indri grabs it. “Thank you!” Paisley can be heard running down the hall and as soon as the enters the room Taeil appeared before her slamming his staff down at her. She quickly blocked it with her pink Star seeker. It slowly shifted to match Taeil and Indri's weapons.

Taeil relaxes and becomes in aw looking over the blade, “You can use it too…”

“Too?” Paisley tilts her head. “You mean this is Ten’s!” She smiles and examines it.

“Let’s see if you’re as good as him?” Taeil takes a stance. Indri joins him.

Paisley holds the blade out horizontally in front of her body, “I'm the best!” She quickly shifts her body sideways holing the blade handle near the aide of her face. She uses her left to gesture them forth as a 2nd blade appears within that hand. It resembles a phoenix too.

Taeil and Indri strike. Paisley makes an X shape with both blades and strikes them. Embers fall as she did that with feathers burning up and more as she blocked the staff and shield coming at her. She starts to run. As soon as Taeil appeared in front if her she struck the one blade down into the ground between them and the other behind her as she kneeled down. The ground cracks from each blade to the guys. Fire bursts out from them and a phoenix made of fire flies out. It begins to chase down Taeil who is flying away. Paisley duels with Indri momentarily. Taeil appears right behind Paisley after the phoenix disperses. Paisley elbows him in the gut and disperses her blades. She grabs him and flips him over her back causing him to land on his back. Indri leaps down at her and she summons her blades. Using a quillon resembling talons she snags Indri’s shield and slams him onto the ground too. The two lay their breathing heavy from the impact. Paisley powers up with magic and the phoenix appears around her body. It caws and screeches. Paisley flies into the window shattering it out of the castle. High into the sky she soars. Spreading the flame like wings out Paisley stops above the tallest tower. The fire explodes and starts to rain down from the sky. It leaves a glittery atmosphere for a while. Many watch the phenomenon. Paisley gently lands on the balcony and takes a seat looking out.

Indri runs up and sits beside her, “Wow! That was amazing!” He rests his head on her shoulder wrapped around her arm holding her hand. “We got up here just in time for sunset!”

Taeil walks over and sits. He grabs her hand and looks out, “you’re both strong!”

Mickey was pulled by a hand through the darkness by a magical hand. When he passes, he finds himself hanging upside down by his ankle held by Master Yen Sid. Squirming, Mickey is rotated to see the floor having a long blue robe. He looks to his down to see a long grey beard, and Master Yen Sid looking down at him.

“Master Yen Sid!” Mickey exclaims in relief.

“Mickey…” Master Yen Sid lets go of his ankles for magic to gently rotate him and land him upon the ground. Mickey looks up astonished. “Please…” Master Yen Sid bows slightly closing his eyes holding his hand out toward some steps. “Walk with me.” Mickey nods yes. The master holds his hand behind his back slightly hunched walking up some steps of his tower speaking to Mickey. “Over the years I've taught you so much. I feel as much as I can, just about. I feel the time has come for me to share with you some information.”

“What sort of information?” Mickey asks shortly after the Master stopped talking.

“Mmm…” The master mumbles leading the two to a room. Inside, they find a cauldron. It resonates steam and smoke out of it. He walks around it and strikes his hand over it causing the cauldron to explode with magic. Mickey shields his eyes with his elbow. The cauldron starts to project and image above it.

“Ten!” Mickey shouts seeing a magical form of him. The master nods yes, and casts a magical form of Paisley.

“What are your ideas behind ne sending him away? I know he and Paisley being together.” The master asks Mickey.

“Gosh!” Mickey crosses his arms, “I'm not really sure. I figured it has something to do with the enemies we keep facing.”

“Yes and no.” The image of Ten is struck and falls back floating as a heart floats above his body just as before. “When Paisley saw Ten’s heart, her’s opened up. It allowed her to use his keyblade of hearts.” An image of the blade appears, this is what happened in the blinding light, “It has the power to unlock people’s hearts. Only, when Paisley used it upon herself,” the image reacts Paisley stabbing herself, “She not only released her heart from her body, but it split. Her desires were all equally true and pure!” The master clenches his hand in the middle of the image and separates it. He starts to raise smoke from the cauldron that forms the shape of a heart.

“Split? Splitting the heart sounds dangerous!” Mickey interrupts. “Is that why there are multiple forma of her running about?”

The master nods, “Yes, and No.” He causes the cauldron to react. It begins to shake some. A black creature having antennas with yellow eyes crawls out of the pot. Mickey jumps back in a defensive stance with his golden kingdom Keybalde. “It’s alright. It’s only an illusion I created.

“I still don’t trust it!” Mickey watches it flatten itself and move about the room and leap at him. He strikes it, and it disappears.

“When someone looses their heart, they become a heartless. Consumed by darkness they just long for hearts and attack relentlessly.” The cauldron shakes again and a taller white creature appear. It swivels it body and lands in facing the master. It twists its upper body around to face Mickey. Wheat looks like a mouth un zips exposing a dark face. It bites at Mickey and quickly disappears by the Keybalde strike. “The remaining husk left behind is called a nobody. Only those with a strong will create these. Still without a heart, longing for their back.”

“Are you saying that the other forms of Paisley, one’s a heartless and the other a nobody? What does that make herself?” Mickey questions. “Some of the enemies we've encountered seem different than these. How does this all relate to Ten?”

“I wish I could say that the heartless and nobodies we're the only enemies. The others you have faced could be,” Illusions of creatures start to exit the cauldron as he speaks, “Unversed who are lured or created by negative thoughts, emotions, or energy. They tend to appear after the heartless or before and easily blend in with them. Dream eaters, devouring the dreams of others. They can sometimes appears with the nobodies. Sometimes a persons dream is strong enough to survive and the dream eaters find them the most succulent. We have the Ununited (I randomly thought of this) where a heartless and nobody clash together in an attempt to balance one another out. These can be very dangerous over the others. No matter what category, the stronger the heart of the original person will reflect on the vessels that come along after a heart is ripped away from one.”

“Us.” Mickey says calmly. “We can be just as dangerous as these creatures. I will admit, Ten and I regret striking down some we have ran into. It was almost as if they wanted us to become these.”

“I agree and have encountered one with Ten too. Some situations are as you say. The one I met, was actually an Ununited that no longer wanted to be joined.” The master answers.

“Now can you tell me how this relates to Ten?” Mickey looks into the cauldron. “I sure hope he’s alright.”

Master Yen Sid recreates the image of Paisley and Ten. “When Paisley struck her heart and it split, one part of her heart fled into the castle, another went inside of Ten, while the third…”

“The third?” Mickey steps away as shadow grows from the pot and swallows the image of Paisley and Ten. “You mean…” The master swoops his arm to disperse the image and splashes magic into he cauldron. Lighting and thunder ignite! Inside the cauldron he and Mickey watch. They can hear a maniacal laugh echoing.

The shadow gathers within the ruins of an old fort. “Mwahahahha! I got it! I got one! Her's!” Slowly, the form shifts into a woman. She starts to walk for her form to not stay whole and turn shadowy. “No!” She moves to a partially broken mirror and gazes at herself. Her eyes turn red and her reflection shows only darkness with shadow. “Tell me mirror, tell me now! What do you see? Did I get it? Did I get she? Why has this shadow not fleed?”

The mirror starts to show clouds with only a mouth with partial noes showing at the top below where it is broken. In a deep low voice it responds, “You stand before me with her heart, but it is just a part. Without it whole, you are not. Today’s answers, that’s all I got.” The face disappears and the mirror returns to normal.

“Uh, Xenelope?” (Zeh-nel-ope or shouldit be like Penelope?) a voice mutters.

“What?” Xenelope is angry and grows into a large shadowy form diving at her servant. He is cat like missing half of one of his ears.

“You’re lab.” He speaks.

“What about it Felan?” Xenelope responds angrily. She takes her human form.

“My lady! Look at you!” He jumps in excitement. She glares at him, “right! You should come see this! Some of your experiments, they’re alive!” he takes of running.

“Alive! Oh, perfect! Things are finally looking up!” Xenelope speaks. She begins to walk fast down a hall. She stops in front of a lamp on the wall beside her. Grinning and slowly turning her head toward it, “Hello Master Yen Sid! Spying on me!” She smashes the lamp and laughs maniacally again.

“Xenelope? Who’s that?” Mickey asks as the image is extinguished from the cauldron.

Master Yen Sid starts to walk away, “read up on the books and find me when you are done.” A table appears with a chair and a bunch of books dropping down magically. Mickey begins to read.

The master walks up a spiral staircase speaking to himself, “the heart can be just as painful as pleasant. Xeney (Zen-ee) why… why it is always this path of negative.” He stops and looks out a window to see the universe that his tower is floating in. He sees a shooting star pass by, “Oh shooting star. Grant me this wish, that Paisley will go far! Succeed where I failed, no matter the cost, she must prevail!” The shooting star circles around the tower casting magic upon it. After, it continues to zoom across the universe.

“Oh Paisley!” Indri shouts to her as she stops in the middle of an intersection within the castle. He jumps and wraps himself around her. As she carrier him, he rests his head on her shoulder. “I like this! I like this so much! It makes me happy, happy, happy!”

“Me too! You’re the best Indri!” Paisley responds.

“I really love this time of year. Yet, I hate it too!” Indri speaks.

“Oh? Why's that?” Paisley asks.

“For starters, it marks when we became friends!” Indri excitedly says.

“Yep! I remember.” Paisley lets go of Indri who pushes himself out of her arms.

He starts to skip about her as she walks, “This is also the time of year we celebrate your birth! The whole town is always so joyous and harmonized!” Paisley stops walking. Indri looks back at her and leaps in front of her. As she looks down he looks up at her, “the part I hate is how gloomy it makes you!” The sun is covered by grey clouds. “Why does something that others love bring you pain? I wish there was something I could do to help.” Indri turns around sad and kicks the ground some sliding his foot with his hands in his pockets.

“Thank you Indri!” Paisley drops to her knees and hugs him from behind. “How about this year I wear a smile the entire time? Just for you!”

Indri starts to leap, “Yippee!” He accidentally pushes Paisley back who is caught by Taeil appearing. “I'm sorry! I didn’t mean…” Paisley starts to laugh and the sun comes back out shining brightly.

Taeil helps her stand, “why can’t it ever be that easy for me?”

“Come on!” Paisley grabs both of their hands and takes off running.

“Where are we going?” Taeil asks following her through the castle.

“Of course you hate when you don’t know. I know you've never known of this!” Paisley replies.

“Oh boy oh boy oh boy! I'm excited!” Indri adds in.

Paisley leads them to a door shaped like a star and stops looking at it. Taeil says, “He’s not here, nor is the tower.”

“I know. Doesn’t mean the door doesn’t lead no where.” Paisley passes through with Indri eight behind. Taeil is last. Paisley walks to the center of the open area between many exterior walls of rhe castle.

“See… there’s nothing here.” Taiel places his hands on his hips.

“Not yet…” Paisley kneels touching the ground. “There is something here.” A magical opening appears reveling steps. Paisley waves them to fallow. Down below are many arches having magical effects to the spread out.

“Are these…” Taeil gawks.

“Doors?” Indri asks.

“To other worlds. Yes.” Paisley responds.

“Some of them are broken.” Taeil explains.

“I broke them. Some broke on their own.” Paisley runs over to one in particular. “This one appeared sometime last night.” Taeil and Indri look at one another shocked. “What? What’s the matter?” Paisley is confused.

“Do they usually appear over night?” Taeil says. Paisley nods yes. “It’s just… when you sleep…”

“What?” Paisley runs close to him grabbing his hands between their chests. Indri grabs both of theirs.

“As long as I've known you, you’ve done this certain type of magic when you sleep. With your keyblade. A different one…” Taeil answers. “I'm wondering if these are linked somehow?” He starts to walk around the door. “It feels so much like…” He stops in front of the door and grabs the handel. “It’s locked.”

Paisley summons a keyblade, “Step aside and I'll open it.” In Paisley’s hand is a platinum kingdom key just like Mickey’s!

“That’s the blade! When you sleep!” Indri shouts.

Paisley points the blade at the door for a lock shape to appear. The door cracks open and the magic stops. Taiel takes a step, “wait!” Paisley shouts, “sometimes these doors can be…”

“You've been through them?” Taeil asks.

“Yes. My grandpa said they were simulations of his creation if places he'd been. Sometimes I can’t enter them and other times I have to destroy the doors.” Paisley tells.

“Why did you have to destroy them?” Indri asks.

“Because they were better off without me. The people here may see me as a hero. Lots of other places don't.” She rushes to the door and places her hand upon it, “Let’s go! Let’s see what happens this time!”

Elsewhere…

Ten finds himself zooming through the galaxy in his hoverboard in his armoured suit. A light catches his eyes. He barley changes direction in time to be missed by a large enemy passing by. He decides to follow it. Doing his best to try and stop it from going wherever it’s being drawn, he can’t. Eventually, Ten follows the beast until it arrives at its destination.

Through the door… (The Black Cauldron)

Paisley, Taeil, and Indri find themselves walking through a forest. They hear a young boy speaking. They spy on him playing with a stick as if it was a sword.

“Yipes!” Indri shouts and falls forward through a bush.

“Who’s there!” the boy shouts and aims his stick. “Who are you?” a pig rushes out to the boy immediately. “Hen Wen! We’re you causing trouble again?”

“It snuffed me in the behind. Scared the bageeberz out of me!” Indri shouts.

Paisley giggles, “Sorry. My name’s Paisley. This is Taeil and of course Indri and Hen Wen have already met!”

“You can call me Taran. Oh no! I'm sorry!” Taran picks up the pig fast and runs away. “I do hope we meet again, but I forgotten something! Bye!”

Paisley, Taeil, and Indri are attacked by creatures. They attack them and follow the direction Taran ran off in. They find he and Hen Wen surrounded and arrive to aid just in time.

“What are those things? You all are very strange, but powerful! We can’t thank you enough!” Taran thanks.

“Have they been around here before?” Paisley asks.

“They seem to always come after Hen Wen especially when… Hen Wen! No!” Taran rushes to a puddle the pig has its noes in with a dazed looked. Within the water magic begins to portray and image of an old man needing aid. After the pig returns to normal. “Whenever… Uh oh…” The area is surrounded by creatures again.

“Go! Get them out of here!” Paisley takes a stance and her pink star seeker blade starts to glow. Upon her head her grandfather’s magic hat appears. As soon as it drops on her head, it turns from blue to pink as it always has. Within her hand a keyblade appears resembling a lighting bolt. Paisley begins to attack and use lots of lightning. She powers up and her entire body is glowing yellow gold with her clothes too! She smacks the tips of her blade down on the ground and loud thunder could be heard. It becomes Silent as she remains still. The enemies pour in and she unleashes much lighting about the area eliminating them. After the area was safe she looked for her friends. Nowhere to be found she searches for them.

Along the way Paisley summons an apple. “Maybe this will lure Hen Wen to me. It’s not like Taeil and Indri to leave me like this. I hope they’re alright.” She continues to walk until sitting down. Placing the apple down she stands back up pacing. She hears a crunch and turns around. A bite was taken out of the apple. Paisley fake turning around and looms back to find the apple gone. “Hey!” She hears riffling leaves nearby and investigates. A small dog like creature leaps forth.

“Gurgi! Happy! Gurgi very happy! The pink haired lady made all those bad things go away. I saw! Gurgi saw all of it! But… Gurgi also sorry.” Gurgi starts to slide his foot holding his hands behind his back, slightly slouched looking down with his head, and up with his eyes.

Paisley squats down closer to his level, “What are you sorry for Gurgi? My name's Paisley!” She closes her eyes, smiles, and tilts her head some.

“Gugir ated all of your red foods!” He shows an apple core.

Paisley stands up and pulls out her starseeker blade. Gurgi hides behind a rock, she spins around and summons apples all over the place. “Go ahead! Have as many as you like!”

“Really!” He begins to scoop them and stops. Dropping all of the apples he picked up he shouts, “nah ah! Nope! Not this time! Magic is bad, magic always has consequences.” He crosses his arms.

“What do you mean?” Paisley picks an apple up by the tip of her blade, tosses it up and slices it into two. She catches both pieces and taps Gurgi’s shoulder with the other. “They’re just apples!” She stands and starts to walk away. “It was nice meeting you Gurgi, but I have to find my friends.”

“Friends? Oh! Gurgi thinks he saw them! If Gurgi tells you, you have to promise you won’t get made at Gurgi.”

“I promise! And you can have all the apples!”

“Your friends are in a cottage not to far from here. I won’t go there. Gurgi can’t. You’re strong, you can! It’s that way!”

“Thanks!” Paisley takes off running.

Inside a cottage 3 witches are arguing over a frog around a cauldron. It keeps leaping away in an attempt to escape.

Taeil is passed out hiveing with his back arched as they drain his powers. Taran is restrained. A pink butterfly flies within the window and lands upon Taeil as the witches argue with one another. Slowly it forms to Paisley who slowly pulls Taeil up by his shoulders wrapped around him. They become parallel standing and Taran smiles seeing Taeil open his eyes. The witches notice and become angry. The frog turns into an older chubby man with a harp who runs behind Paisley and Taeil for cover. The two quickly begin to attack as enemies appears about the area. The witches make an attempt to capture Taeil once again. The three combine their power for Paisley to step between with her blade. Much magic begins to strike. Pink overwhelms to area from her star seeker keyblade. Indri runs in screaming her name! The blade and all three of their attire shift and their Melody form take control. Easily, Taran flees to find Hen Win outside waiting for him as the others battle fiercely. The three triumph over the witches and enemies.

When heading outside they find themselves quickly tackled by Gurgi into a bush. Suddenly, they find themselves watch and army of the undead march by. Taran and Hen Win are captures and being drug off. Following the army they find themselves at a ruined castle still standing strongly. They make their way inside stealthily as possible. While inside, they find themselves looking down at a lich using Hen Win's power with a cauldron. This one a filled with much magic unlike a typical one. They find their way into many holding cells. A round ball of light is being chased by enemies and the three aid it. Afterwards, it leads them to a certain room full of treasure.

“Bauble! There you are!” A young girl’s voice speaks. “Oh look Taran! We have guests!”

“Paisley!” Taran runs over to hug them, “Indri! Taeil! Boy am I ever glad to see you!”

“What is this place?” Indri asks.

“This is the tomb of the great king who built this castle! Before the Horned King took it over. Oh!” The girl curtsies and bows slightly, “You all are great warriors as Taran has told me! I am Princess Eilonwy! I am very excited to meet you all and do hope you will help us out of this wretched castle!”

The round light begins to circle Taeil. “A bauble…”

“Yes! Mine! Are you familiar with them?” Eilonwy asks as she starts to look around the tomb.

“Yep! In a way, I'm sort of Paisley’s!” He hugs her from the side pulling her close.

They hear a noise and spy on a minion of the Horned King marching in various heartless, nobodies, and ununited through the castle. Paisley can’t help herself and storms in with her Fantasia form activating. Taeil and Indri begin to eliminate as many possible as they can too. They find themselves up front and close with the Horned King. Paisley doesn’t hesitate to rush in. With sparks flying about the area she charges up a tremendous amount of power around her body. As if she was a lighting bolt herself, she stabs the Horned King. He takes much damage, but is not defeated. The three do their best to attack. The cauldron keeps regenerating his being.

More and more undead rise under the Horned King rule. “Paisley!” Taran shouts. She looks up the tall chamber to see him and Eilonwy. The Horned King starts to float up eerily. Paisley looks at Taeil who points his star shaped staff at her causing magic to make her fly. Paisley takes to combat against the Horned King while in flight about the room. Taeil and Indri fly up to help Taran and Eilonwy.

“The only way he can be stopped is if we make a sacrifice into the cauldron!” Taran begins to crawl out a broken bridge that is right above the cauldron.

“No!” Gurgi shows up and lands on Taran causing him to hit the ground. Gurgi then plunges himself off the ledge into the cauldron. Taeil flies down fast trying to catch him. Paisley dives in attempt too. When Gurgi lands within the cauldron mucb magic exhorts. The army of dead and other enemies begin to cease and reside. The Horned King starts to loose all his powers and perish. Taran and Eilonwy begin to cry over Gurgi’s sacrifice. Paisley crawls up some ruble and dives into the cauldron herself.

“No!” Taran begins to freak out and Taeil uses magic to restrain him. In no time, Paisley’s hand pops out of the cauldron. Taeil grabs it and pulls her out holding Gurgi. She sets him down.

“Oh Paisley! My bestest friend ever! You’re such a hero!” Gurgi thanks.

“No Gurgi. You’re the hero!” Taran kneels down and hugs him tightly.

Paisley watches and begins to walk away. Eilonwy notices, “Where are you going?”

“Home… I can’t stay here.” Paisley responds.

“Where is your home?” Eilonwy asks.

“It’s…” Paisley hesitates. The door they passed through appears and Paisley summons her platinum kingdom key to open it.

“Can we come with?” Taran asks.

“No.” Paisley answers. Hen Win walks up holding an item with her mouth. She drops it by Paisley’s feet.

“What’s that?” Indri asks and picks it up.

“Thanks Hen Win. She knows.” Paisley speaks.

“Because she’s a special pig! And I'm her keeper!” Taran says rushing to Indri looking at the object. It is shiny and reflects their face.

“Is it a piece of a mirror?” Indri asks.

Paisley reaches her hand out and is handed the shard. “Yes… it’s not the 1st one and definitely not enough to complete what I have. Come on. Let’s go before we draw in more who don’t belong here.”

“Farewell warriors!” Eilonwy speaks waving.

Hen Win sits waving her hoof. Gurgi begins to cry. “Can you tell us where you’re from? Maybe we can come visit you!” Taran asks. Eilonwy grabs his sleeve shaking her head no.

“Honestly… I don’t exactly know where my home is from here. But, I know what will happen when I pass through that door. I also know what will happen if I don’t. Goodbye!” Paisley smiles as a tear falls from her eye and she turns fats to run through the door. Indri hugs everyone and is very emotional with Gurgi.

Taeil takes one last look around. He looks into his star pocket watch to see Paisley on the other side the door crying. He begins to fade. “Taeil!” Eilonwy pleas as her bauble appears in front of her face. She smiles. Indri runs through the door and Taeil joins him. As soon as they pass through the door shuts closed and disappears from that world. Within Paisley’s castle, it slams shut and pieces break off crumbling to dust. Indri is being squeezed by Paisley who is crying.

“It hurts so much every time!” Paisley pleas. “Is this how it is in the real world?”

Taeil takes a step toward her and his shoulder is grabbed. He looks to see Master Yen Sid. The master walks to Paisley. She stops crying sensing him and turns around relasing Indri, who steps away, and she looks up at him. “I'm sorry… I know you said…” She looks away.

“Good job!” The master speaks. He begins to kneel and Paisley pushed herself up to leap into his arms digging her face into his chest and shoulder. The master begins to brush his fingers through her hair, “to feel this way is very pure, very noble, and more so… what makes you, you!”

“Master Yen Sid. That place felt so real to me. Just like when I was sleeping.” Taeil tells.

“Hmm…” The master nods at him slightly and stands with Paisley stepping aside. “Paisley, you have grown so much. So I must tell you I lied! These places you have been passed these doors,” they all look about the room. “They are indeed real worlds! The magic of this castle is still a mystery to me at times. The day you were born my precious princess Paisley… it was a destiny that changed all for the better!” The master vanishes in a cloud of smoke with thunder and lighting. His voice could be heard, “see what else you may discover!” more doors pop up all about the area in various places. Paisley grabs Taeil’s hand a bit scared and grabs her chest too.

“Let’s go!” Indri runs up to one in particular.

“Indri! Wait!” Taeil runs after him.

“Don’t worry. It won’t open unless…” Paisley approaches Indri who is trying to open a door that won’t budge. It has a design of a magnifying glass. Paisley summons her platinum kingdom key. “Are you guys ready?” they both nod at her as she opens the door and they pass through.

(For the video game, of course they will vist the worlds. But, for this story, I will skip them. My choice of worlds for Paisley. The Black Cauldron, The great Mouse Detective, Disney now own Fox so Fern Gully, Anastasia, Bug's Life, and Pocahontas.

Others… Flubber, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Herbie, Homeward Bound, Oliver and Company. Of course many are just finding your way home, lol, classic Disney!)

Paisley, Taeil, and Indri passed through many doors. World after world they made new friends and helped them conquer over the evil. During one adventure, Paisley was steering and old fashioned VW beetle car. Taeil is in the passenger seat and leans out the side of the car pointing his staff at a vehicle in front of them. They are in a car chase and Indri sits in the middle from the back seat. The top disappears from the car making it a convertible just as Taeil leans out. Indri looks behind them with hands grasping the top of the back seat. Behind them a trail of magic is left behind dispersing the are of its darkness to be replaced by light. What had enemies along the road with dead and snow is replaced by vibrant greenery with the sun coming out. Taeil’s magic strikes a bridge and the vehicle they are chasing crashes.

“Herbie! Stop!” Paisley shouts and slams the horn with the break. They all crash into the crash too and go flying into the snow. Taeil lands first and quickly moves to catch Paisley who slams them both into the snow. Indri had landed head first with his feet sticking out of the snow. They all rush to the crash to find two men passed out. Paisley feels their pulse, “They’re alright!”

“Good riddance!” Taeil replies.

“Oh no! It’s empty!” Indri shouts. They all rush to the back of the crashed vehicle to find it empty.

Suddenly, a shine catches Paisley eyes. “Huh?” She turns looking up to the sky seeing a large enemy crash within the field nearby full of snow. Her heart beats strongly and she runs off as fast as possible toward it. The snow is a foot deep and not easy to move through. She can see clashing of a large enemy and another. “Ten!” Taeil grans her and flies her to the action fast.

“Wait for me!” Indri shouts leaping through the snow as best possible.

“Ten!” Paisley shouts as she is dropped into the action.

“Paisley?” Ten questions and turns around looking at her. Taeil flies back for Indri. A large barrier fills the area sealing Paisley and Ten within the area with the enemy. Both notice this phenomenon. Ten is swiped by his feet by a long tentacle swooshing the snow out of the way. Paisley rushes forth with her pink star seeker blade. Another tentacle slides across the now bare land and she leaps. Ten manages to stand and jump just in time to land upon this tentacle. He rum up it. Paisley dodges other tentacles slamming down at her until the head attempts to. She fades away and appears next to the head to strike it hard. Ten had ran up the tentacle at the same time to stole it from the other side! Ten looks across the head of the creature down at Paisley and smiles as she strikes looking up at him. Both reach out to one another and their hand nearly touch. A long tail fling between them and strikes the enemy on its head, knocking itself out cold. The two dodge and run toward one another. “How?”

“Ten…” Paisley whispers in aw and admiration over seeing him. Looking him over, he does rhe dame to her. “If only…” the creature trembles and they both flinch.

Ten holds out both flowers to Paisley. “Here! This may be the inly time and I have been trying to give you these ever since that day…” Paisley grabs one flower and a glow fills both of their bodies. Both look and grab each others hands. The flowers disintegrate. As they do, both of their attire changed to correspond one another. Both of them gained keyblades having a floral design. They both charge at the enemy. Paisley hold her blade within her left hand and a flower shaped wand appears within her right hand as a shield for Ten in his left hand. The enemy attacks relentlessly as the duo take it on.

Taeil and Indri watch from outside of the barrier. “Look at them! They’re amazing together! I’d say they are better than us!” Indri gloats.

“Yeah! That’s how it’s always been.” Taeil closes his eyes looking away.

“What’s wrong Taeil!” Indri asks looking at him removing his hands from the barrier.

“I hate when she excludes me!” Taeil shouts and looks back to the battle with a tear and smiles placing his hands on the barrier. “I like being their for her! She’s got this, this time!”

“Go Paisley!” Indri leaps and shouts watching.

“Ten!” Taeil shouts.

Anytime Paisley misses a strike on the enemy, Ten is their to protect her. Ten will block with his shield and retaliate with his blade. Paisley will cast magic to protect them and cause harm to the enemy. Together both defeat the enemy. It fades away. The two walk to one another as Taeil and Indri approach.

“Paisley…” Ten whispers brushing her cheek.

“I've missed you so much!” Paisley dive into his arm holding him tightly. Shocked at first, he embraces her back.

“Aww!” Indri holds his hands near his face slightly tilted watching. Taeil nods at Ten who nods back.

“Aw?” Paisley pushes herself away from Ten and grabs Taiels wing. “Come on! The puppies!”

“Right!” Taeil grabs Paisley as she relazes him and they two fly off in the blink of an eye.

“Puppies?” Ten speaks.

“Yes! We have to save them!” Indri grabs Ten’s hand to lead them away. He summons his hover board and grabs Indri to ride along with him. The group catch up with one another and head to the crash. A new vehicle was crashed having footprints leading to a manor in the distance. They all follow. Inside they spy on two guys watching TV with tons of puppies! “Look!”

“Their must be a hundred of them!” Taeil speaks.

“What’s going on?” Ten asks while holding Paisley’s hand looking down onto the manor.

“You guy’s get them out and I will go find her.” Paisley starts to tip toe along the roof.

“Who? I should come with.” Ten speaks.

“Thanks. But, this is a girl on girl match!” Paisley smiles and is bashful removing her hand from Ten's. A part of the roof crumbles and she lands inside the manor.

“Are you okay?” Indri asks looking down at her. She gives and thumbs up. Paisley searches the manor from the floor she is on first. The others make their way off the roof. From outside, they find an opening to the room and lure out the puppies.

“96… 97… 98… 99… 100…” Taeil counts the puppies. “You were right. 100!” Taeil smiles at Ten.

“Hey!” A man shouts

“Ms., De Vil will not be happy!” The 2nd man speaks. They see the opening where the puppies left and quickly rush outside and attack.

Paisley makes her way down some stairs to hear a woman. Approaching a room she sees Ms. De Vil talking to a puppy sitting upon a pillow on a table! Paisley bursts the door open, “Give up Ms. De Vil!” Paisley takes a stance. Ms. De Vil retaliates and summons many enemies. Paisley has no issues handling the situation. As Ms. De Vil was om her last breath, she laughs maniacally. The manor disappears. Ten, Taeil, and Indri are swallowed by darkness. Paisley makes her final stroke on Ms. De Vil. All of her friends are gone. With all the 101 puppies looking at her, she helps them return home. Unknowing where they all did belong, she left them with the two who sent her out for their 9. Immediately after, she was pulled through the door violently back to her castle. Landing roughly, her grandfather and Mickey were waiting for her. Upset, she held it in and listened to what they had to say.

Paisley finds herself rushing out of her castle. To the main gate she finds herself. Attacking it over and over as she had for a good portion of her life. With no luck, she finds herself exhausted.

“Paisley… please!” Mickey places his hand on her shoulder as she sits upon the ground in defeat.

“I know. I just hate this feeling I have. Not being there for them. Not being able to do anything. Stuck! Here!” Paisley stands up.

“You still believe!” Mickey tells.

Paisley looks back at him fast, “of course I do!” She faces him completely and takes a knee to be more level with him. “I believe in all of them! So much!” She grabs her heart with both palms open in an X shape.

“What about yourself?” Mickey asks. Paisley stares at him blankly. “Believing in yourself is just as important! We all believe in one another. That’s what keeps us so strong and connected.”

Paisley drops her head laughing slightly with a big smile, “You’re right. She looks up smiling at Mickey while placing a hand on his shoulder. “I almost broke my promise too.” She stands up and takes a step. She looks to her side down at Mickey. “Thank you Mickey!” Many enemies appears all around them. “How?”

Both take a defensive stance drawing their keyblades. Both start to strike as enemy after enemy attacks. Covering each other’s back, they are undefeated. When a group of large tough Ununited appear they start to struggle against them. People of the town join in their aid. When they are defeated the area in the courtyard turn to a black surface of darkness. As heartless crawl out a set of horns begins to rise.

“You again!” Paisley jumps grabbing one of the horns and reaches her hand out grabbing Mickey as he jumps in time to be grabbed. The Behemoth rose and roared echoing throughout the land. Paisley and Mickey began to strike each of its horns. They charged up and before they could be strike by powerful electrical energy the two jumped off. Mickey rolls and lands safely, but Paisley was tackled by a flying enemy. Struggling with it Mickey uses fire ball magic to strike it. Paisley is released and falls to the ground.

“I do believe in myself.” Paisley speaks to herself and Mickey Telepathically. She summons her platinum kingdom key and Mickey’s begins to glow in response to hers. He holds it straight into the air as high possible on his tip toes. His attire changes into white garments as does Paisley. She strikes her blade straight into the ground. Paisley descends into the darkness, while also causing a vortex pulling it all in. None of the enemies can resist. Paisley appears in front of the Behemoth who is large enough to resist. She strikes him and much light appears. A couple more strikes and he was pushed back into the vortex. Mickey strikes his blade closing the vortex. The people all cheer in their success!

“Remarkable! Simple amazing! We will always be at your side!” The mayor shouts. “Now… let’s begin our preparations for the celebration!” Everyone scatters. Mickey and Paisley are smiling at one another.

“Hey, Mickey…” Paisley asks.

“I think I already know what you’re going to ask. The answer is yes! Let’s go! Other world need us!” Mickey takes off running with Paisley right behind. Both enter Master Yen Sid's tower and proceed down below. Mickey rushes up to a door in the shape of a bow and arrow. “I’ve never been able to open this one.”

“Me neither.” Paisley responds.

“Maybe together…” Mickey and Paisley raise their kingdom keys and the door opens. They pass through to find themselves in a forest. “Paisley!”

“What?” She is surprised and looks at herself when Mickey points at her. She rushes to a river nearby and sees her reflection. “I'm a fox!”The two hear some laughter nearby and see a a fox and a bear. Paisley runs forth. “Hi! My name’s Paisley! What are you two doing? Oh, this is my friend Mickey!”

“Hey there! They call me Little John!” The bear graciously greets. The fox grabs his mouth with his hands.

“Shhh! They might be spies!” The fox speaks.

“Spies? We’re not spies!” Mickey shouts.

“Aw come on Robin! Give em a chance. Since when do Prince John's people introduce themselves.” Little John steps forward. “Ye be here to challenge the great Robin Hood?”

Mickey and Paisley look at one another, “Challenge? For fun? I love fun!” Paisley gets excited and claps her hands.

“Tell you what!” Robin begins to walk around Paisley and Mickey slowly. “If you accept an archery challenge against me, I will determine if your spies or not.” They all walk to an area set up for archery. Both Paisley and Mickey use their keyblades to make a bow with magic to participate. Both lost to Robin.

“Good shot Robin! Nobody can be the great Robin Hood!” Little John shouts. “That’s 2 for him and 0 for the newbies.”

“Rats!” Mickey says.

“Well darn. We tried.” Paisley adds.

Robin removes his hat and bows to them, “thank you! I do not believe you’re spies. In fact I would ask for your help with…” enemies appear all around and the keyblade masters begin to attack. At first Little John and Robin Hood were scared, but soon joined to help them.

When the area was clear, Mickey started to run, “Come on Pase! Let’s clear this place out!”

Paisley nods, she looks at the other two, “sorry! We have a task! We'll meet again!” Paisley runs off, “goodbye!” All over the two cleansed the world of enemies and saved many. Eventually, they found themselves chasing a large boss being chased by some royal guards. A woman fox was in trouble. Mickey and Paisley take over and quickly defeat the enemy saving her.

“Thank you warriors!” The woman curtsies. “My name’s Maid Marian!”

“Enough! I am Prince John and for saving the lovely Maid Marian herby give you these tickets for special seating today at an archery contest to try and catch that retched Robin Hood once and for all!” prince John speaks. Mickey and Paisley look at one another confused. Maid Marion smiles at them. “Let’s go! All these creatures have been dreadful on us.” The king pulls Marian into a carriage and they drive off by horses.

When the two begin walking they hear a “psst!” They meet Robin Hood and Little John again and tell them what the king said. Robin accepts the challenge and puts on a disguise to enter the contest.

With ease, Robin triumphs as the winner! Even in his disguise. Enemies show up and Paisley takes to the center near Robin. Unfortunately, Robin’s disguise is ruined. Paisley then takes to defending him from the kings men. Marian attempts to flee only to be caught and taken away to the castle. Everyone storms the castle to free her. Paisley and Mickey rush into a room right when Prince John is struck by a shadowy hand removing his heart. The heart starts to float away, but the shadow swallows it.

“No!” Paisley rushes in.

“Paisley! Here?” The shadow turns to face her and halts her in mid run with magic removing her fox form as her body begins to form as Xenelope.

“What? How can this be? You’re dead?” Paisley wonders.

“He, he, ah, eh, ha, heh! Is that what he told you?” Xenelope manically speaks after laughing. She starts to take some steps toward her, to loose her form. “Drats! Still not enough! Come! Help me now my heartless! Help me claim the rest of her pure heart!” She begins to step back as the body if Prince John forms to be  a viscous lion like heartless and nobody. Mickey and Paisley battle relentlessly against the two enemies and Xenelope. It is a tough battle. The point comes down Paisley stopping and closing her eyes. A three attack.

“Paisley!” Mickey shouts. A bright light fills the area pushing everyone back. Master Yen Sid's hat appears above Paisley’s head.

“The magician’s hat! It must be mine!” Xenelope shouts in an attempt to seized it. Paisley grabs it, slams it upon her head, it changes to pink, and she powers up much. Using both starseekers she attacks over and over. At one point Mickey is knocked down violently. Paisley rushes over and hands him the blue starseeker. He accepts it to have two. Paisley begin to attack and when the nobody appears behind her something unexpected happens. Paisley’s darker form exits from her back holding a purple starseeker blade. Confused, the heartless enemy attacks for her lighter form to appears out of her body holding a yellow star seeker blade. Mickey summons a green one as Paisley holds her pink one with a black and white one appearing. Her hat turns multicoloured! The heartless and nobody prince John form to make an Ununited. Together the three Paisley’s and Mickey attack it and Xenelope. When the Ununited was defeated. The three Paisley’s took to Xenelope who disappears into glass broken on the ground of a chandelier.

“Come back here!” The three Paisley’s shout simultaneously. They all look at one another. The three hold their hand out and touch fingers. Only regular Paisley stood their as the other two faded away.

“Who’s Xenelope?” Mickey asks. “I suppose she’s the one causing this in all the worlds.”

“You would have to ask Master Yen Sid. It’s not my place to say.” Paisley responds.

“Paisley! Mickey! Come on! You have to see this! You looks better like this than your disguise you had I on. I knew the whole time!” Robin hood comes running in grabbing their hands. They are taken to the magical door. Paisley becomes sad and says her goodbyes just before being pulled into it back to her own castle with Mickey exiting right behind her. The door slams shut and breaks to pieces.

“225 years…” Paisley whispers to herself reading a banner handing over the main doors of the castle. She turns and walks away to the mausoleum if her family. Entering it Mickey spots her following. As always, Paisley uses magic to fill the area with flowers. Eventually, after crying for so long in the center of the room, she climbs into her sarcophagus. Mickey hears a noise and casts a spell to turn himself into a potted plant for a disguise. A cat like creature sneaks in. It is Felan. “I promised I wouldn’t be sad. Is it breaking my promise if he isn’t here? It’s so hard Indri.” Paisley is muttering to herself from within her coffin. Mickey watch Felan slowly creep up to Paisley. Mickey thinks about stopping him, but senses darkness as shadows start to gather in the room.

“Do it Felan…” Xenelope whispers.

“What?” Paisley is startled, but the sarcophagus is slid shut over her by Felan.

“He, he, he, ha, oh, ho!” Felan jumps giddily clapping his hands. “We did it! We did it! Now we can move on with our plan!”

“Yes. Now go find a place for me to enter here. You must summon me for our plan to work.” Xenelope speaks. Felan bows as the shadows disappear. He exits and seals up the mausoleum.

“Heeelp!” Paisley is shouting and suffocating at the same time. The sarcophagus is magic proof.

Mickey returns to normal and summons a lit candle, “I'm coming Pase! Hold on!” The lid is slid open and Paisley gasps for air.

“Thank you Mickey! What happened? I thought I heard…” Paisley says catching her breath.

“You did! Xenelope was here in her shadow form. I had followed Felan down here just before it all happened. They said they had some sort of plan. He’s supposed to summon her here or something.” Mickey explains helping Paisley out of the coffin.

“Quickly! We have to destroy all the mirrors in the castle! Now!” Paisley takes off running. The tomb is dark and lit by Mickey’s single candle. “Ugh! Why did I enchant it as so. It won’t open again today!” Paisley falls o. The steps and slams her fist down, “We can’t let them harm the townsfolk! I'm supposed to be their hero!” She begins to cry. One of her tears turns to crystal and shines brightly glistening with magic.

“Paisley!” Taeil speaks from it.

“Hey! You promised no sad faces!” Indri shouts.

“Guys!” Paisley looks up and hugs the spherical shape showing them.

“I may not be able to get to you physically, by magic preventing me doing so. But, my job as a Fairy Godbrother always comes first. My magic is yours for today! Take it!” Taeil explains. The sphere starts to shift. Paisley stands stepping down some steps to be eye level with it. It changes into his star staff. Paisley grabs it and uses it to transport her and Mickey inside the castle. Already they can see so many mirrors and items that reflect. They begin to smash them all!

“Gosh fund it! What is going on!” The mayor and some townsfolk appear in a room that Paisley and Mickey were smashing full length mirrors along a wall to bits of dust.

Paisley and Mickey stop looking at them, “We have to! Please! A very dangerous woman and her accomplice are attempting something evil!”

“Has anyone seen a cat like guy walking around, about yay high wearing green? His name is Felan.” Mickey asks.

“Buh! Why didn’t you say so! Everyone, you heard her! Start smashing anything you can see yourself in! Find this Felan immediately!” The mayor exclaims. Everyone works together to destroy all the reflective items throughout the castle.

“Mickey!” Paisley shouts, “Come with me!” She leads him to the ballroom that has already been cleared. Directly to the throne. “I need to bind you to throne. You must accept the title of King!”

“King! Me? I'm not sure…” Mickey hesitates.

“Please! I know I can’t actually give you the initiation, but the townsfolk don’t know that or anyone other than us and grandpa. I have a plan.” Paisley has casted much magic to make the crown appear and shift it into one similar to her father’s. She reaches her hand out to Mickey, “Just take my hand and the spell will be complete. When everyone is in here, accept and take my hand again to take on the title of king.” Mickey nods and grabs her hand. Much magic expellee around his body causing him to float. Paisley zaps him with Taeil’s wand to complete the spell and help him land safely. “C’ mon! We have to get to the areas of the castle the townsfolk can’t!” Paisley and Mickey rush to magically enchanted areas of the castle. Some Mickey now had access to and never knew of from Paisley’s spell. Hidden rooms, staircases, and portals were all over.

“Foolish townspeople. I can’t wait to make them all bow to me! Especially that oaf of a mayor. Who knew he'd still be around after all this time.” Xenelope speaks to herself as she watches the townspeople destroy things within the castle. As they become dust pieces she can no longer watch. “Felan! How much longer? My patience grows exhausted!”

“Not much longer! Like 2 more minutes and then I will begin the summon.” Felan replies while drawing on the ground with a large shadow nearby.

“Good! Let’s send a welcoming party first, shall we? Mwahahahahhaha!” Xenelope laughs and summons enemies about the area.

“Go!” Felan orders them out. Soon after anything not smashed or smashed enough began to reflect shadow and pour out more enemies. Everyone begins to attack throughout the castle. Paisley teleports her and Mickey to everyone just in time to teleport them to a protected room. Eventually, everyone is safe, but Paisley and Mickey find themselves in a darkness shaped castle now.

“Where do you suppose it’s coming from?” Mickey asks. “I feel we smashed everything by now. Did we miss something?”

Paisley gasps, “water!” She runs fast to doors leading out of the castle. She shoves them open hard by magic and when they pass, outside is a large shadow with Felan casting a spell. “The fountain!” Paisley runs and is halted by enemies. The two do their best to reach the fountain. The shadow leaves covering it and the water starts to ripple.

From the center Xenelope’s face could be seen and heard laughing. “Poor Princess Paisley! Trapped in this place for all eternity! I can’t wait to see you perish! Once I have all of your heart, I will be strongest!”

“No!” A bolt of lighting strikes with Master Yen Sid appearing and he slams a long 7 foot staff om the ground by its end as thunder is heard. Xenelope looks at him from her shadowy water form as his tower appears behind him in the castel with more lightning. His staff powers up and he lifts it into the air. Slamming it dowm again the entire foundation cracks and ripples. Felan is interrupted by this falling over. Paisley and Mickey rush over and attack him as Master Yen Sid attempts to strike Xenelope.

“How dare you! It’s always about you, isn’t it! You’re old now. Soon, I will come out on top and you will be left to rot!” Xenelope taunts half there and able to dodge being water shadow like. Felan stumbles and Paisley strikes a book out of his hands. Mickey catches it and reads it over. Turning a few pages, he counteracts the spell. “Nooo!” Xenelope starts to be flushed down a portal back to her domain. Paisley defensively glares at Felan. He dives into the fountain scared to be pulled in right before all the water was gone.

Master Yen Sid holds his staff out in front of him by one hand and the other with and open palm facing away from him near the staff. All of the fountains outside of the castle are drained.

“What about everything inside? Like the bathtubs and sinks…” Paisley starts to ask him.

He halts her. She and Mickey bow to a kneel in front of him, “Not enough water or room for her to be drawn here. I let my guard down. At the same time, she has become stronger than anticipated. You’re birthday this year, will be one to remember!” Paisley looks up and he is smiling. She leaps up to hug him.

Paisley’s birthday celebration went on as if nothing happened. The castle was still absent of mirrors and reflective materials. The lighting was all replaced by magical candles.

“Attention!” Paisley gathers the crowds attention. “I know you all look up to me. But, I feel the time has come for me to…” She steps toward the throne and taps it. She smiles as her magical barrier reflects her hand off. “It’s time for me to pass on my right of queen to someone else!” She turned around fast speaking, raising her hands high, as lighting with thunder filled the room from outside just like Master Yen Sid. The crowd murmurs. “Please! Mickey…” She holds her hand out toward him. The people part and he points to himself. “Yes! You!” Mickey walks slowly toward her. When close she grabs him close. “Mickey has done so much for me, this castle, and more importantly, all of you!” She steps away from him as the crowd smiles at him in agreement. She steps backward next to the throne. “I call upon this castle!” Her voice echoes, “Castle… castle… castle…” She smiles, “Being bound may be my destiny, by your will… by your will… will… will… I ask to relinquish my… my… my… standing as heir of this castle… castle… castle… I ask that you allow my good friend and colleague, Mickey… Mickey… Mickey…” Paisley reaches her hand out toward Mickey and kneels beside the chair, “to be the king of this castle and I his Knight… knight… knight…” Mickey grabs Paisley’s hand. Their hands glow white as she touches the arm of the throne. The magical barrier around it allows her to guide Mickey to sit within it. She holds her hand over his head and summons a crown similar to her father’s. It rotates as she grabs it to gently rest it on Mickey’s head. The room fills with light. When it disperses, Paisley is back kneeling with her keyblade stabbed in the ground in front of her as she leans on it. Much of the décor, including the throne change to resemble Mickey’s mouse shape head. He looks across the crowd. They begin to clap and cheer for him. Paisley stands and claps too.

Mickey stands up, “Thank you Paisley! I'm not really sure what to so or to think. What I do know, as my 1st act as King, I demand you blow out your birthday candles!” The crowd goes wild. As usual, a tall multi layered cake is wheeled in. Paisley looks up at it smiling.

Inside her mind, telepathically she speaks, “I wish you were all here with me…” She starts to think of all the friends she has made on her adventures and her closest ones to her.

“We're always with you!” Indri's voice can be heard.

“Yes! Even when we’re apart, we’re together!” Taeil adds in.

“It’s your birthday! Happy Birthday Paisley! If only we could join in the celebration! What a delight! Make a wish! If it’s true and from the heart, it has to come true! Yes! Happy Birthday Paisley!” All of her friends from her adventures can be heard speaking to her telepathically. The star on the end of Taeil’s wand begins to glow. It floats in front of her face and she looks into it seeing everyone’s reflections. All happy, smiling, waving, and much merriment toward her. They all can see her through a magical star shaped phenomenon. She looks up at the cake and she takes a deep breath just before letting it out, she stops with a puzzled and confused look.

“What’s wrong Paise?” Mickey asks.

“It’s just that… I've wished for the same thing over and over, pretty much my entire life! It’s never cake true. It was selfish of me.” Paisley holds the wand with two hands and looks into it. “Perhaps, I should wish for something else?”

The mayor leans close to her throwing his arm around her shoulder and using the other to emphasize his words, “wish for whatever your heart desires!”

“My heart?” Paisley heart thumps hard and fast thinking about Ten. “Ten…” She whispers looking into the wand more seriously.

“I'm here Paisley! You look pretty as always! So radiant, and I'm…” Ten looks down at his casual attite. “Do you still have my present?” Ten replies as Indri grabs the phenomenon turning it toward him as Taeil shoves him into the view. Paisley nods smiling bashfully and pulls out the flower. He pulls out the other. “They both belong to you.”

“I want you to keep that one. That way we both have one.” The each hold them out and smile. Suddenly the flowers begin to vanish.

“It disappeared!” Mickey shouts as everyone is surprised.

Ten's face gets upset, “figures!”

“Don’t worry! The best part about today is getting to see your face! It makes me feel so warm inside!” Paisley grabs her heart.

A cloud of gently smoke gathers behind Paisley as Master Yen Sid. “Paisley. I want you to open my present.” He holds out a blue box wrapped in ribbon just like before. “I'm sorry it’s different from last time. Something from my heart!” Paisley pulls the ribbon and magic dust moves about. When she lifts the lid something is platinum heart on a chain. The back has an imprint of a crown and lock.

“Wow! It’s pretty!” Paisley says. Master Yen Sid grabs it and places it over her head.

“I want you to always wear this.” Master Yen Sid tells. “Don’t ever take it off. What lies ahead…” Paisley looks at him anticipated. He sighs. “Just make your wish…” He turns her around to the cake. She looks at the wand at everyone hearing them cheering her on. She grabs the wand with both hands in front of her and a magical set of wings form from behind her. She lifts off the ground some. “Though the worlds may seem far apart and out of reach, they nonetheless remain connected by invisible ties. As do our hearts.”

“What’s in my heart…” Paisley says. “What’s in my heart is all of you!” She tales a big huff and puffs out through the top of the wand as if blowing bubbles. The cake bends over as all the candles extinguish. It repositions back to normal as a gentle wind with a whistle fills the entire room and extinguished all the other lighting.

“What a wish!” The mayor exclaims. “I felt that one! Don’t tell us or it may not come true!”

“Was that a good thing master?” Mickey asks Master Yen Sid.

“By magic law… her wish must have been granted if made right after all these years denied. I knew this day would eventually come.” Master Yen Sid speaks smiling at Paisley stuffing her face full of cake.

“Ya know. I had a premonition not too long ago about Paise.” Mickey explains.

“Oh?” Master Yen Sid raises an eye brow looking down at him to the side with only his eye and arms tucked within the sleeves of his robe.

In the ruins…

Xenelope is holding a magical item within a jar that is glowing brightly.

“What’s that?” Felan asks.

“A piece of a shooting star.” Xenelope answers walking.

“Oh wow! Whatcha guna wish for! Power? A full state? Maybe…” Felan.

“No!” Xenelope shouts and glares menacingly at Felan for a moment. “My wishes can’t be grated by this. Or else I would have made them already.” She raises her head up high, “It’s up to me to make my own dreams come true!” The two watch Paisley closely. When she makes her wish, Xenelope begins laughing menacingly.

“Umm…” Felan scratches his head. “Aren’t you worried.”

“Worried?” Xenelope opens the jar and the piece of the star passes through the mirror. “This will benefit me greatly!”

Felan looks up her glaring into the mirror, “Don’t you mean us?”

Xenelope stops smiling for a moment. She turns to Felan and leans down scratching beneath his chin, “of course… I need you too!”

After the celebration…

Paisley finds herself sitting on the edge of the tallest tower of her castle, as usual. It is late in the night with a star filled sky. She keeps looking in Taeil’s staff in hopes of seeing all her friends again. Sighing, she drops her head closing her eyes. She feels a head rest on each of her shoulders. Opening her eyes, she looks to see both forms of herself on each side. Taeil’s wand starts to float around sprinkling magic. Paisley’s hands are grabbed by her selves. They stand her up. They see a shooting star fly across the sky. A piece drops down and enters Paisley’s body. Behind her magic fills and a door is present.

“I know this door…” Paisley walks over to it and her other selves position on each side of it. The moonlight shines down upon it as a moist mist is about it. “Do not be afraid…” Paisley whispers. “If I pass through this, will I find my best of dreams or worst of nightmares?” she reaches for the handles and she it stopped by both forms of herself. They look at one another and touch palms. Paisley starts to step back as they merge together. They create a Ununited form and point out the window. Paisley looks. Her Ununited form taps them self and then points down. It pushes Paisley toward the edge wrapped around her shoulders and points out toward the sky. It grabs her hand and summons her keybalde within. Guiding Paisley, they summon a scooter like item. After, armour appears around Paisley and she is kicked off the balcony. The scooter catches her. Paisley looks at her ununited form shooing her forth. Paisley sees a heart shape with the crown and lock appear as an opening in the barrier. “Why not?” Paisley shrugs. She takes hold of her handle bars and takes off toward the opening. She passes by with ease and circles the exterior of the castle. She makes eye contact with Master Yen Sid looming out his tower. She halts and he points. In the distance a star glistens. She blows him and kiss and ventures forth. Passing through many universes she exits in vast space.

Paisley sees the glimmer shiny brightly, as if just for her. Looking at the world below her, she still wonders if she is dreaming. Her heart begins to thump hard. “Ten!” She takes off fast. When entering the atmosphere she is shot down by enemies that disperse her armour and scooter. Another form of pink like substance is shot at her. For a moment her appearance changes into an animal. Her chain begins to glow as she spirals down from the sky. Regaining her normal form, she lands in a window and bumps into an Emperor that was dancing to some live music being played.

“Bleh, ahg, ek! You threw off my groove!” He shouts at her and snaps.

A guard painted half pink and half blue with a long spear leans into her face, “I'm sorry, you threw off the Emperor's groove.” He picks her up and tosses her out the window.

“I'm sorry!” Paisley shouts. The palace is a top of a very tall hill with many others going on for miles. She sees an old man stuck on a branch panicking over her decent. Paisley smacks into him and both begin to fall. She holds the old man draped over her arm and summons her keybalde.  She points it out for a magical tether attaching to a tree. Swinging to safety, Paisley sets the old man down. He begins to tell her of Emperor Kuzco and his advisor Yzma with her lacky Kronk. A carriage passes by that picks up the old man directing her to the local village. Paisley declines and sets out into the jungle. It is filled will many enemies that she slays. At one point, she finds herself surrounded by a hundred jaguar type enemies. Her heart guides her. Deeper and deeper into the jungle she roams, to find herself at the bottom of a hill looking up at the palace she was tossed out of.

Paisley crosses her arms looking at the river before her. Across, she sees a cave opening. Walking to the water she stops when an alligator snaps out of the water at her. Many others snap out of the water too. Paisley finds herself defending against them. Using them as steps along with stones in the river she eventually makes it across the river with many alligators knocked out. Paisley makes her way through the cave.

Ten is pacing around. Indri and Taeil are laying om the ground. They are all shrunken inside a tiny jar.

“How can you guys just lay around!” Ten shouts agitated.

“What else should we do?” Indri asks sitting up.

“Yeah! Not like I have much power right now. This is no sort of magic I know of.” Taeil adds in with his hands behind his head as a pillow.

“That’s because it’s science!” a woman shouts, normal size, looking into the jar at them on her lab table. With black goggles and gloves accompanying a buttoned white lab coat.

“Uhh… Yzma?” A tall robust man asks in the same attire.

“What Kronk!” Yzma turns around glaring at him. “This better be important!”

‘It’s just that, ummm, we have an intruder coming in down the cave entrance.” Kronk replies to a system notifying them of the intrusion.

“Kronk! Why didn’t you tell me sooner!” Yzma asks walking close to him pointing her finger and shoving it in his face.

“It’s just that when, uh, you get into something J start to talk and you get into…” Kronk starts to speak. Yzma has already walked away from him and is on the other side of the room. She pulls some levers and many guards painted half pink and blue storm in

“Attack! Protect the palace!” Yzma shouts. The guards all head toward Paisley. She is no match for them and triumphs. As soon as Paisley enters the lab, she looks around.

“Paisley!” Ten shouts muffled from inside the jar. Paisley rushes over.

“Ten!” She picks up the jar. “Taeil! Indri!” She hugs the jar. “I'm so happy to find you! I just knew…”

“Shhhhhh!” Ten shushes her. Paisley takes the jar and hides.

“Now that the intruder has been dealt with, let’s move on with our plan!” Yzma rips her lab coat off. Kronk flinches in disgust to realized Yzma is in formal attire. “It's dinner time!” After they leave the room, Paisley attempts to get the jar open with no luck. Non of her magic works to un shrink them or free them. Instead, she fallows Yzma and Kronk. Their they witness Kronk poison the drinks that only Kuzco drinks. He is turned into a llama. Yzma orders Kronk to dispose of the llama Kuzco. Paisley does her best to follow. Eventually, Kronk looses Kuzco in a burlap sac on a villagers cart. Both loose him within the crowd of a market. Paisley, Ten, Taeil, and Indri agree to find Kuzco and save him.

After much searching, Paisley has help from the old man she saved before. They learn of the villager and seek him out. The villager is in a field filled with many llamas. Paisley bumps into one and falls.

“Bleh, ahg, ek!” The llama stumbles Nd so foes Paisley back from one another. “It’s you!” Kuzco speaks pointing at her with his hoove.

“Please!” Paisley bows to him. “Your highness!”

“Now that’s more like it!” Kuzco bask in her respect. “Been so long since… wait a moment! What are you doing here!”

Paisley looks at him. “What do you mean?”

“You’re a keybalde master! I'm an Emperor! You should be stopping those evil things about and their ruler! I bet it’s Yzma!” Kuzco speaks.

“You know of me?” Paisley asks.

“Psh! Ye-ah! All of you!” Kuzco leans close to the jar squinting his eyes tapping it with his hove. “I remember you three…” Kuzco walks away and sits. “I shooed you away because that’s what I ‘m supposed to do! I didn’t know it would lead to all this!” Paisley walks over. She sets down the jar in front if them both and hugs him from the side.

“My name’s Paisley. I don’t fully understand what’s going on, but I know your heart is pure in the end. Being a ruler…” Paisley rests her head on his shoulder, “You have to be cruel at times…”

“So you’re Paisley?” Kuzco starts to rub the bottom of his chin. “No! No! No! I won’t!” Kuzco moves away and stands on his hein legs strong! “I am Emperor and am loyal to my duties! Paisley!” He points at Paisley, “Keyblade master! Negative forces have invaded my land! You must dispose of them! You are the key to everything!”

Paisley looks at her friends in the jar, then back at Kuzco. She crosses her arms, turns her body to the side facing him and raises an eyebrow replying, “What makes you think you can order me around?” she turn facing him, bends over slightly with her hands on her hips, “I happen to be a princess!”

“But! A Yen Sid visited me long ago and spoke of these creatures having a blade similar to yours.” Kuzco begins to respond as many enemies appear. Paisley attacks them as Kuzco runs. He had picked up the jar and bumped into the villager.

Paisley is left alone in the field protecting llamas and defeating all sorts of enemies. A larger boss one lands and she strikes hard. Her Fantasia form takes over utilizing both her pink starseeker and her grandfather’s blue one. This one resembles an Aztec being. With a rough exterior Paisley has to strike repeatedly to cause damage. At one point, Paisley is tossed off the enemy and the two glare face to face. Rushing toward each, Paisley’s Fantasia form turns multicoloured as her blade shift between colours. Much magic surrounds he4 body. Paisley makes a final striking blow! With the field empty Paisley hurries off in search if her friends.

After much searching and elimination of enemies, Paisley finds everyone. Yzma, is the cause of it all.

“Yzma!” Paisley surprises them! “Let them go!”

Yzma laughs, “Oh my child!” Yzma 2alks close to her, “Don’t you see? I have prepared for this! Take me now, great darkness" Yzma is punctures by a shadow hand. As her heart fades Kronk traps part of her from within a jar. The remaining form begins to attack. It strikes and the jar goes flying.

Kronk catches it. He looks at Paisley and the jar of her friends, back at the jar of Yzam's heartless, and Paisley once again. “I hate that shadow…”

“I will stop it!” Paisley takes off to fight against the nobody Yzma and the shadow, focusing more on the shadow.

Kronk looks into the jar of everyone, “Look… Yzma was my boss and I do what my boss does cause I take pride in my work, but ahh…” He notices the heartless Yzma getting upset shrunken inside the jar, “Oh look, that is totally Yzma!” Paisley is taking steps back with each foot while slowly squatting blocking attacks from the nobody Yzma with both blades over and over! She sees and opening and stabs both blades forth! With a lunge Paisley manages to counter. “Oh No!” Kronk notices the battle. Enemies appear all over to attack. “Ya know, I really hate these guys.”

“Then let us out!” Indri shouts and starts to jump hard inside the jar mad.

“Please!” Taeil shouts.

“She needs our help! We must work together!” Ten adds in.

Kronk thinks for a moment, “Okay!” He smashes the jar on the ground. Everyone is freed and returns to normal size. They take on the enemies together. Paisley and Ten find themselves side by side once again. Together they conquer! When the battle is won, Kuzco is returned to human form with Kronk's help. The crown upon Kuzco's head starts to glow. He bows and both Paisley and Ten seal the lock that appears. Paisley hugs Ten fast. They embrace for some time. When pulling apart, Paisley feels her entire body.

“I'm still here!” Paisley gloats holding Ten’s hands between them.

“Well chh-yeah!” Kuzco interrupts. “Don’t you know who you are?” They all look at him, “Sheesh! Of course leave it to the coolest ruleset Emperor to explain it!” He clears his throat, “I am Emperor Kuzco! The ruler of this world! When enemies seek out fail of us, only keyblade master will save us! Well…” He stops and looks away, “I can’t say anymore if you don’t know. It’s up to you to figure out.” He turns around gesturing at them, “Now go! This world is clear! You have others to save. Don’t worry… you’ll see me again! I don’t have a choice. I'm an Emperor!”

They all laugh. Ten and Paisley holds hands walking some. Ten steps back summoning his armour and board. He starts to circle around Paisley. She summons her scooter and armour. Indri jumps on her scooter as Taeil lands behind Ten. Ten takes off fast into the sky with Paisley right behind. They disappear and pass through many universes until landing elsewhere.

They find themselves before a large building.

“Strange… this world feels…” Paisley raises her hand out looking up at a tall building. She takes a small step and a magical cage surrounds her.

“Paisley!” Everyone shouts.

“No! Stop!” Paisley demanded. She starts to be shocked by magic from the cage. Using her strength she endures it. Allowing herself to fall on her knees with her legs together, she holds her arms out to the side with her eyes shut.

Ten starts to get stressed. He takes a charge 5o be held back by Taeil and Indri. “She said stop!” Indri shouts. “We gotta trust her!”

Paisley opens her eyes and slowly moves her hand straight above her head. The magic is absorbed by her body from all over. Pushing her arms down in front with open palms, the magic releases out of her palms and bursts the cage open.

They hear clapping, “Very good! Impressive actually… I can’t believe!” A young man comes falling down from above. He lands hard with the earth rippling below his feet. Looking into Paisley’s eyes he questions, “Who are you? What are you doing here? Only ah…” He starts to move into a defensive stance. Paisley mimics him fast. Both summoned their keybaldes and strike. The man upper slashes at an angle from beneath his shoulder. Paisley steps and spins to the side swinging around angling her blade down. A loud clink echoes as the blades make an X shape. Wind gusts push them apart. Indri falls over and Taeil attempted to fly to be pushed back to. Ten summoned his blade and stabbed it into the grab to stop from being pushed back. Paisley had only slid back, still upright. The man had dodge rolled forward to prevent himself from falling over. Looming at Ten, “You’re both Keybalde barriers?”

“I am Paisley! In fact, I am a keyblade master! Apprentice of Master Yen Sid!” Paisley pointed her pink star seeker at the young man.

“Master Yen Sid!” The man runs forth and bows to her. “Please! Princess! This is such an honour! I have not yet claimed my title of master. Barrier is where I rank. Not for too much longer.” He stands, “I am Eraqus! Under Master Xehanort!” He turns to Ten walking over, “Are you a master also?”

“Ummm?” Ten is unsure.

“No. But, he is very skilled!” Paisley answers.

“I'm Ten!” Ten points to himself with his thumb.

Indri jumps on Ten’s back, “I'm Indri!”

“Taeil!” Taeil throws his arms around both Paisley and Ten at the same time in-between them.

“Let me officially welcome you to The Land of Departure! Sorry about the whole cage things, but I had to make sure you weren’t enemies. You had a powerful energy coming off you all. Especially you!” Eraqus points to Paisley with his keyblade. “If you don’t mind, I'd like to test this power?”

Paisley takes a stance and relaxes, “actually… seeing as I am a master, but you and Ten are not…”

“I agree!” Eraqus turns facing Ten. He draws his keyblade and the two begin to brawl.

“You can do it Ten!” Indri shouts.

“Yeah! Go for it!” Taeil adds in.

“Let’s go Eraqus! Show me what you got!” Paisley shouts.

“Paisley?” Ten halts for a moment. Eraqus strikes and Ten dives out of the way casted magic to created a wall of ice.

“Hey! Keep your head in the battle!” Paisley places her hands on her hips. “I'm rooting for you too! But, Eraqus is my new friend! I need to support him as well.” Eraqus summons the rocks to grow from beneath to smash Ten's ice. “There nearly evenly matched.” Paisley closes her eyes, “I already know the outcome of this battle.”

“Really? How do you know?” Indri looks at her and holds her hand.

“Eraqus is holding back. He really wants to fight me. Ten… Ten hasn’t had practice like we've had. He is very strong, but a Keyblade master can do so much!” Paisley answers. “Hey Eraqus!” Paisley bends slightly and cups her hands around the mouth elevating her voice, “You’ve guna have to do better than this! I can take both of you!”

“Oh?” Eraqus and Ten look at her when face to face with their blades clashed between them.

“I think she’s challenging us." Ten speaks. The two guys nod and smile. Together they run side by side toward Paisley. Rocks form behind Eraqus and ice behind Ten. They both strike.

“No!” Indri jumped in front of Paisley. “Two against one isn’t fair!”

“It’s okay Indri!” Paisley walks around him looking at the two guys in stance. She smiles back at him, “You can help me if you like. As I said, I know the outcome of this battle already. Everyone…” Paisley points her blade straight in the air and a magical star exits the end. She pulls out Taeil’s wand and tosses it to him. He zap the star and it explodes into many smaller ones. “best watch out!” Paisley disappears and reappears behind Ten and slashes down at him. Eraqus turns around to block the attack. Eraqus slams over and over with no luck breaking Paisley’s guard. The stars are falling about the area like meteors and exploding when hitting the ground. Ten is dodging them and Eraqus is striking them toward Paisley. “Using the enemy strikes to your advantage. Always useful!” Paisley is attacked by Ten and she starts to move about the area. With each step she manages to dodge. Indri takes Eraqus straight on with his shield. Eraqus is surprised when he recoils off his shield. Indri tosses it above him and it swirls around his body with a sharp edge forcing Eraqus back. Eraqus evades and watches. When the moment is right, he strikes the shield into Indri. “Patience and observation…” Paisley slams her blade into the ground and a magical force expels. Everyone begins to float, except her and Taeil. Eraqus has no problems floating about and continues to strike. He creates a magical barrier around himself to block projectiles coming at him. Taeil flies above him and smashes his wand down cracking the shield. The two enter a battle of magica creating tethers from each of their weapons against one another. Sparks and dust are flying all about like ash from a fire. Taeil releases part of his wand and the tie starts to lesson in Eraqus's favour. Taeil conjures a large star with is free hand and sends it flying at Eraqus. He attempts to block with a barrier. but recoils from the impact of the two shattering. Paisley, Taeil, and Indri have the guys surrounded. The three clap simultaneously and activate Phoenix form summoning their Phoenix weapons. The area fills with fire as the Phoenix soars out from below.

“All of you can enter drive?” Eraqus barley misses being clipped by the wing of the Phoenix. He initiates his drive form and summons a 2nd keyblade. Ten also triggers a drive form. His attire turns green with a keyblade resembling a Venus fly trap appearing in his hand. Taeil and Indri stop as their attire and weapons change.

“Seems like your fire has burnt out!” Eraqus taunts taking advantage of Paisley weakened.

“Come on guys! Why not help us out? After all. Paisley did say she could take us all.” Ten taunts.

“Of course I can!” Paisley slams her blade into the ground and causes an explosion of light. When the light disperses, everyone is looking around. Eraqus leaps back avoiding her diving down from the sky. Indri holds his shield up toward her blade. Like before she uses the tip of her blade to lodge in the side. Forcing her weight beside him, she snags the shield and flips Indri over her. Ten catches him. Taeil comes tackling at her. The two start to disappear and reappear all over. Eraqus attempts to strike, failing from her teleporting all over the area. Eventually, Ten nails a strike. Eraqus comes in from the side. Paisley summons the blue star seeker and flings it. A strike raid forms magic around the blade as it flies and it boomerangs back. Eraqus is caught off guard on its way back and nearly is struck. Paisley initiates Fantasia form. All magic is repealing off her. Taking on all 4 of them simultaneously, 4 blades, 2 staffs, and 2 shields continuously come at her from all angels. Caught in the middle of them all, they all ambush her. Paisley makes an X with her baldes and sends them out strike raiding in front of her as she runs forth. They boomerang back and she leaps tilting her body upward. As she rotates her body facing the ground, her light figment exits her body to take out Taeil and Indri. Her dark figment exits her body and strikes Ten. Paisley hits fiercely against Eraqus. All the guys take surrender on the ground. Both figments return to Paisley.

“That’s interesting…” Eraqus uses his blade to help raise himself off the ground.

“You did great!” Paisley holds her hand out smiling. They shake hands. “You all are such great warriors!”

“Nothing like you!” Eraqus appreciates. “I never seen drive forms used in groups like you have. You all must be close.” He starts to walk and looks back at them, “Well, I have to get back to my training.”

“Eraqus!” Paisley shouts, he looks back, “You will make a great master!” She gives him a thumbs up.

They all hear some giggling. Eraqus shakes his head rolling his eyes, “Come on out!” Three young children come running out to Eraqus praising him.

“That was amazing! You will definitely be Master!” Terra speaks.

“Wow! Another girl who likes to fight! See, I told you I'm not the only one!” Aqua says and punches the third boy who seems in gaze with Paisley.

“This is Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. As soon as I’m master, they will be next to train.” Eraqus explained. “They were supposed to stay inside until I gave them the clear.”

“The monster!” Ventus snaps out of his gaze with Paisley and takes off running. Eraqus follows fast.

“Oh yes! Come on! You can help!” Aqua runs to Paisley and garbs her hand tugging at it to follow. They all rush into a large room.

Ventus is looking around in the center. “It was here…”

Eraqus takes a step and Paisley halts him, “Ventus is it?” Ven looks sad and disappointed. “I noticed you were staring at me outside. May I ask why?”

“Well… uh… I don’t know?” Ven turns around looking at Paisley. “You make me feel funny. When I look into your eyes, I see…” Ventus looks into Paisley’s eyes as she kneels down to his level. She grabs one of his shoulders with a hand and rests her other on her knee.

“I liks you Ventus. When I look into your eyes, not only do I feel something, but I've seen…”

“Look out!” Ven sees the monster reflect behind him in Paisley’s eyes. Tackling her over, they are missed. Everyone else dives to avoid being hit. A magical barrier surrounds around Paisley, Ventus, and the Ununited. “Ahg!” Ven grabs Paisley’s leg scared.

“Don’t worry! We can do this!” Paisley summons her star seeker and charges at the creature. The entire time, she protects Ven. The others all watch feeling helpless outside of the barrier. Eventually, Paisley splits herself into her 3 forms to triumph! The monster is defeated. Paisley stares blankly. Ven shakes her and she snaps out. “I'm sorry…” Paisley runs off. Stopping and looking back, she bows. “I have to go! I can’t be here not more. It isn’t safe!” She continues to run and summons her scooter. Ten runs right behind her and takes off on his board. Both disappear in the sky.

“What about us!” Indri shouts watching.

“I think I can get us back home from here.” Taeil replies.

“Yes! Master Yen Sid has a connection here!” Master Xehanort speaks walking in slowly smiling. “If only I had shown up sooner to deal with this Ununited. Thank you all!”

Paisley is flying off through the universe with Ten right behind her.

“Paaaisllley!” Ten shouts. “Please! Paisley!”

She stops and looks back at him holding out her hand.

“I have questions… and I have answers. To have my wants, I do not know. When I have them… things seem, so un-ord-di-naryyyyyy!” Paisley begins to sing. “Is this real? Or this a dream? To me… I can’t not see. I can not tell! I can not know if I prevail!” Paisley takes off when Ten does not accept her hand.

“Wait! Please come back! Surely I can help you with what seems whack!” Ten flies in front facing her. He grabs her handle bars, “In all this time, and all that’s past, why must you express the mad! Please be with me, accept me, so many world we can see!”

“I hear your words and feel your thoughts. To have them, yes, I have not lost! But. At this time, I have a task, I have duty, the time right now… my actions can…” Paisley sings.

“Just look at me! Take my hand! Hold it tight! Together we can do what’s right! We can stand against all there is!” Ten sings.

“All there is? Do you know it at all? Maybe for you, it seems bright, but I have seen us fall. I have seem them fail! Loosing is not something I want them to prevail! To know what’s right! To know what to do..  in the end…” As Paisley was avoiding Ten, she couldn’t help but look back him. Her armour disperses around her face showing her face. “All I really do want, is Ten…” She holds her hand out to him and he accepts. As they do this, much magic expels. They begin to zoom across the universe holding hands side by side on their vehicles.

“Let us soar! Let us live! Let us do as much as we can give!” Ten says.

“We can venture! We can roam! But, what I need to do, is go home.” Paisley speaks.

“Just one place! Just one stop! All I ask, is for ia a day with us that feels won't stop!” Ten says.

“A day that won’t stop. A place we can call our own… us neither that is not home. That is…” Paisley stops speaking as a bright light appears put of the corner of their eyes. A world appears with and island. Paisley and Ten hold hands as they approach.

They find themselves landing on a beach. It's deserted and looks as if never I habited. Still holding hands they look over a vast ocean. Tide splashing, a warm sunset…

“This place is so…” Paisley steps forth releasing Ten's hand. Her attire changes into a dress and she steps out of her shoes pulling up her dress into the water.

Ten picks up one of her shoes, “Paisley… what is this feeling?” A small light emits from behind them. Paisley’s eyes fill of trance as she turns around wielding her platinum kingdom key.

“This world will be connected…” Paisley speaks in a low tone as she points her blade at the light. Magic exits and passes through the blade into a bushy part of the island. Enemies begin to pour out from the hidden area.

“Paisley?” Ten begins to attack all the enemies while also protecting Paisley. “What is this?”

“What I've always done. Didn’t you know? I'm the one who opened all the doors. The one who set all the locks. The one who controls all the…” Ten strikes Paisley across the face with his keyblade. She snaps out of her daze. She grabs Ten’s hand and the two summon their floral form. As they attack together the enemies continue to get stronger and stronger.

“Why Paisley!” Ten shouts.

“What do you mean? I'm not doing this!” Paisley replies confused and hurt.

“I just saw you! You opened the door here and allowed them to pour through!” Ten shouts.

“I… I don’t remember! This is a dream!” Paisley strikes an enemy and falls to her knees grabbing her head. “One of my nightmares! This isn’t real!”

 “This is real! We have to do something! Usually you show up at this point! Not cause it to initiate!” Ten struggles blocking an enemy.

Paisley looks back at him and her eyes widen in a new power, “Ten!” While turning the rest of her body she pushes herself up to stand and tackle the enemy against Ten. Her hands begin to glow, one of light and the other dark, she rips the creature apart into two. An Ununited split into a heartless and nobody.

Ten stumbles back onto the ground looking up watching, “Paisley…” he whispers.

“Ten…" Paisley speaks softly looking down into his eyes. A tear runs from her eyes. She drops both enemies. They run off as she speaks in a feared struggle disappointed tone, “I do belong locked up in my castle…” Paisley takes off running toward the hidden area.

“Paisley!” Ten shouts reaching his hand out toward her. He fails to stop her with as struggle within the sand falling down repeatedly. When he enters the hidden area, an empty cave is found. A wooden door starts to fade. When he approaches, it is faded. Unable to open or pass, he exits the cave. The enemies have dispersed and he walks to the ocean where Paisley had stood. He falls into the water on his knees. “Paisley…” He holds back a tear with frustration and sadness. “I'm sorry. I should of been their for you. Are you okay?”

“I'm just fine, Ten!” Paisley’s voice can be heard.

“I'm not meant to leave the castle. I know this now. If I never stepped foot in any world…” Paisley begins to speak. She watches the door not crumble within her own castle where all others have when returning back.

“Come Paisley! Don’t you want to know the answers?” Xenelope’s voice speaks.

“Who’s that? Don’t listen to them! They’re evil!” Ten stands up sloshing water about the place

 “I know the answers you seek. Right here… after all… you not only take after your grandfather, but your grandmother too!” Xenelope speaks.

“What?” Ten is confused. “You don’t believe that? Do you?”

Taeil and Indri run into the room just as Paisley’s voice deepens again and she falls into a trance. A shadow portal appears. She passes through it.

“Paisley?” Ten is fearful. “Paaisleey!” Ten freaks out. “What have I done? I have to help her!” Ten summons her board and armour. He exits back to the universe. “I don’t care! I'm going back! She need me! I accept the consequences!”

“Paisley!” Taeil and Indri shout.

“I can sense her… but I can’t pinpoint her location. It’s almost as if she’s still here. This makes no sense!” Taeil panics.

“Correct!” Master Yen Sid speaks. They look at jim enter the room with Mickey.

“Xenelope has control of part of her heart! That’s why she was able to draw her in. Ten needs to learn to tap into this power himself. He neglects his abilities.” Mickey speaks.

“He's on his way here!” Master Yen Sid shouts. “There isn’t much time. You three must go and help her!” He stabs his staff into the ground and they all acquire new weapons with matching garments. “Go! The people of this world need you right now! Enemies are pouring out from all over!”

Mickey, Taeil, and Indri nod simultaneously and take off running. Out of the castle they find all sorts of enemies outside of the castle.

“It’s just like those days again…” Mickey speaks as he attacks. With a keyblade resembling a heart at the tip, a lock handle, and crown cut out between Mickey summons great power. Taeil flies above him with a staff having a crown tip and lock handle. Indri holds out a star shaped shield having the crown cut out from the bottom back to back with Mickey. Together, they annihilate all enemies om their path to the ruins nearby.

Paisley is in a trance placing pieces of reflective mirror shards against a mirror. Like a puzzle, she takes her time to find the correct placement of them. Having collected many of them, the task takes hours. Being in her state, she often picks up the same pieces to repeat previous attempts to place them with failure.

“Where did she get all those pieces?” Felan asks.

“From the world’s of course!” Xenelope answers

 The two watch from across the room as Paisley attempts to put them together.

“Shucks… should I give her mine?” Felan pulls put some from his pocket.

“Fool!” Xenelope leans close to him shouting, “of course you idiot!”

“Right away! Sorry!” Felan hurries near Paisley and drops his pieces. A few shatter into smaller pieces. “Opps! Uh oh…” nervous, he rushes back to Xenelope.

“Good job Felan!” Xenelope exits the room and begins to walk away.

“Really? I broke some?” Felan is confused and scratches his head.

“Yes! You showed me that, if Paisley puts all her pieces together… other’s are needed.” Xenelope stops at a different mirror on the wall and looks into it. Her shadow form begins to take over, “and it seems they are being brought to me!” She watches Mickey, Taeil, and Indri fight their way to the ruins with aid of the townsfolk. The image changes to show Ten riding through the universe to their location also. She begins to laugh manically.

“Uh…” Felan is still confused.

Mickey continues to eliminate all sorts of enemies one after another with Taeil and Indri. The three reach the ruins and join their powers to strike fiercely against a barrier around. Successfully. The are able to pass through.

“Paisley!” Taeil shouts cupping his hands around his mouth.

“Tell us where you are!” Indri adds.

“Paise! Can you hear us?” Mickey joins. “Is that?” Mickey senses something and looks up toward the sky easily through the ruins. They all watch Ten crash land within the area nearby. “Ten!”

When Ten lands, he is greeted by many heartless. By this point, they are no match. Every move, attack, and counter, he easily eliminates them. As he stomps the ground shouting, “Paisley!” He takes a steps and stops. Below his feet a flower blooms. The same he once had. “What?”

Paisley is in a trance still putting pieces of mirror back together. To her side, she reaches for another piece and a flower blooms. Her eyes reflect its shine. She grabs the flower instead of the shard. At the same time, both her and Ten pick the flowers. Each are filled with memories from hundreds of years ago when they sere children. They both embrace the flowers. Before they knew it, they were within each others arms! Within an unknown existence, they remember this exact moment. Just as long ago, after passing through the door in their dreams. It appears nearby. Together they open it and pass through holding hands. Standing on a floor of stain glass beneath their feet, of Indri and Taeil, they walk toward the center. Enemies appear and they take care of them. The steps appear for the two to make their ascent. The next level has stain glass of Mickey. This time when the enemies are gone. A larger heartless of a giant sort slams down between Paisley and Ten. They each fall with crumbled stain glass about in darkness. Paisley starts to jump between the pieces up close the enemy. That leans down toward her. Ten summons his hover board and it refuses to fly anywhere. Stationary in the darkness he sees Paisley start to fade with the enemy as if they were drifting farther and farther. Ten is completely surrounded by darkness. He covers his face as black doves turn white below his feet revealing stain glass. It’s a portrait of Paisley and her two forms with the flowers in hand. Another large enemy appears similar to the other, but of a nobody. Ten watches it rise tall over him. They look into one another’s eyes.

“Wait a minute?” Ten is confused. The enemy strikes down at Ten repeatedly. He refuses to strike. Grabbing a hold of the hand with good timing her climbs up its appendage to its face. “Paisley?” He gazes into its eyes. His chest starts to pound and a magical effect starts to react. The nobody stops attacking. He senses the beings feelings, thoughts, and emotions. “I think I get it.” He closes his eyes grabbing his chest. In no time a fragment of a heart exits his chest and he falls back lifeless.

“Huh!” Paisley stops mid battle with her heartless. She screams out into the darkness, “Teeennn!” Her voice echoes through the dark to him.

He smiles and grabs the fragment, “Paisley… it’s…” He mutters.

She can hear his voice, “it belongs to you! All of it! I tried so hard to give it all to you. But…” Paisley turns around looking at her large heartless self. It gazes down with her in an aggressive manner, “you want to too… you’re me?” It’s expression fades some anger. “do you know where part of it went?” It nods at her. Paisley gets excited, “Can you tell or show me?” It opens a portal showing Xenelope casting magic around her in the ruins. Ten and her friends are all locked up nearby seeming fatigued.

Xenelope looks back to see Paisley, “well! Get to it!” She pulls out the fragment of Paisley’s heart. The heartless attempts to resist. Xenelope laughs, “I don’t know why I can’t control you, but if I must destroy you for the rest of your heart, so be it!” the portal fades and the heartless can’t resist her and begins to attack.

Paisley dodges in the same manner as Ten had with her nobody and climbs up to its face. She attempted to strike raising her blade up high, “I can’t…” She halts. “It’s me… I know I hated me for so long…” Her footing stumbles and she starts to fall. The heartless is attacked by her nobody.

“Paisley!” Ten dives down after her as she falls.

“Why do I cause harm to others…” Paisley mutters.

“Paisley please!” Ten shouts trying to fall faster.

“Ten…” Paisley reaches her hand up toward him. More stain glass appears nearing fast.

“Don’t give up! You bring so much joy to so many! It’s just Xenelope controlling part of you. You’re stronger than her! You’re stronger than me!” The stain glass resembles Ten and the sphere hidden below the castle that appeared the day Paisley was born. “You’re like a wonderful cornerstone of light to everybody!”

“Cornerstone of light?” Paisley speaks. Her chest begins to pound as a light emits from it.

“Like I said first, my heart belongs to you! Let it help you as you have for so many!” Ten shouts he nears Paisley who continues to fall with her back toward the stain glass.

She grabs her chest, “Ten!” She snaps out of her state and starts to fall slower. “I'm only strong because of you! You’re the stronger one!”

“No way!” Ten nears reaching his hand out. “Let’s do this together!”

“I know why she can’t get my heart from my body! Because I have yours!” She pulls out a shiny full vibrant heart out of her chest. Her back arches back holding it over her chest. “You have to break it…” he eyes go dead.

Ten summons his first keyblades of hearts. The black in his right hand and he looks at it drawn to his side, “The Keyblade of hearts and heartless.” He summons the white one in the left hand and looks at it, “The Keyblade of never-ending and nobodies.” He makes and X shape in front of him as he falls to Paisley. “Paisley…”

“Ten…” Paisley mutters.

He draws power and spins around striking his own heart with both blades. The first cracks it. The 2nd breaks it into 3 pieces. Paisley reaches up and grabs a part of it and pulls it into her heart. The other fly off too fast for either to do anything. Paisley regains strength and the two smash into the stain glass right through the cornerstone of light. The glass shatters and they fall with pieces all around them embracing.

Within the ruins, Felan has nearly completed putting all the pieces of the mirror together. It resembles a grey colourful cloud within it. He stops when something twinkles. He looks into it and starts to run. “Run! Run away!”

“What is it Felan!” Xenelope shouts as he hides behind her.

“There’s something coming toward us!” Felan covers his head titling his body slightly on one leg.

Xenelope squints looking into the mirror stopping her attempt to draw Paisley’s heart. Ten’s numb body stands up slowly mesmerized walking to Paisley. “What! Back to sleep with you!” Xenelope casts magic that has no effect on Ten. She attempts to create a barrier around her and Paisley for it to be interrupted when the mirror shatters! Paisley and Ten burst through landing on the ground. “Paisley?” Xenelope looks back at the unconscious Paisley who is now being held by Ten in his arms. “Paisley? What’s going on? Felan!” She turns herself into her shadow form and starts to fill the room with it while laughing. Felan rushes toward Paisley and Ten stikes him away.

Paisley and Ten stand on all the broken pieces of mirror. Paisley dusts herself off standing tall and confident. Pointing at Xenelope’s face her pink starseeker blade is drawn. “Xenelope! Give back my heart!”

“Oh… you mean this?” Xenelope forms a hand and the fragment of Paisley’s heart starts to shine. Her heartless form appears nearby. The nobody form of Paisley being held by Ten’s nobody starts to sit up, drawn to the heart fragment. “That’s right… come join with your lost self.

“No!” Paisley reaches out with her other hand lowering her keyblade.

“You can’t let her win!” Ten grabs Paisley stopping her from going toward herself as his nobody from does the same to Paisley’s nobody.

“I can’t not do anything either!” Paisley struggles some with Ten trying to move forth. “Paisley!” She calls out to herself and she reacts.

“No! I need this heart complete!” Xenelope begins to cast magic. Both Paisley’s break free from Ten toward one another. The Ten next to Paisley with white hair fails to stop her and dives to the ground. The regular Paisley with Pink hair is tackled by the original Ten. He reaches up and grabs the nobody Paisley’s arm before she could touch Paisley. When they touched, both were engulfed by light and disappear. Paisley still laid on the ground. Felan attempts to smash her with a weapon. Paisley rolls out of the way and manages to push herself up. The other Ten counters Felan protecting her.

“Paisley…” Ten and Felan struggle back and forth with strength. Felan is being aided by Xenelope's power. “You can’t have Paisley’s heart!” Ten draws power and knocks Felan back.

“Enough of this!” Xenelope releases Felan and stands forth as herself with no darkness about. She pulls out Paisley’s heart fragment and controls the heartless form of Paisley. Paisley and her strike! Magic begins to emit from between their slammed blades.

“Paisley!” She shouts to her heartless form. “I know this isn’t what you want because… because you’re me!” Her power begins to grow and a shade of pink starts to fill the room.

“No!” Xenelope pushes more control into the fragment controlling the heartless Paisley. Both Paisley’s continue to strike over and over. Paisley summons her Fantasia form as Ten battles with Felan.

After many nearly even matches of battling. Paisley stops. She hears a voice. Her own voice, “I've never been happier! I'm home and with Ten! We can be together forever now thanks to you!”

“What?” Paisley is confused and stops. She looks at Ten battling some enemies summoned by Felan. Xenelope strikes over and over for Paisley to dodge left, right, left. She summons a magical wall to stop Xenelope who recoils back to make the room fill with darkenss.

Paisley is alone running. Shadow like hands keep attempting to grab her. She can see a face moving all about the area. Anytime she gets close, Xenelope moves elsewhere.

“I know this isn’t what you want…” Paisley’s nobody form speaks to her. “I know because, because you’re me!”

“Yes! I agree!” Paisley shouts. Enemies surround her. She spins and slices down at an angle at a target to upswing her other blade upward at an angle as another dives in. She slams the ground to cause a ripple effect knocking other back. As she runs, she tosses a keyblade on direction, the other the opposite and they both boomerang back. Both are tossed in from of her crossing in an X shape and she catches them on the boomerang. “What should we do?”

“Free me!” Ten’s voice whispers.

Paisley stops. “Ten?”

“Free me! I want to be with Paisley.” Ten speaks.

“I'm Paisley?” She questions. Paisley leaps into the air and strikes down at the ground with both her blades. It makes an impact on Xenelope and the shadow shatters. Back in the room, Xenelope is catching her breath. Paisley looks at her friend restrained. “Taeil! Indri!” She hurries over and opens the locks to their chains. The three group hug.

“Paisley! Oh my!” Taeil pulls her away and spins her around lifting her off the ground.

“Taeil! Please! I'm fine!” Paisley responds.

“You may be. But, I'm not!” Taeil responds.

“What should we do!” Indri tugs on both of their garments and the three look at Xenelope. She exits out an opening in the ruined roof laughing.

“We have to stop her!” Paisley starts to run and stops.

“Free me…” Ten’s voice can be heard. She looks over at the other Ten who strikes Felan to the ground. Before he could land a final blow, he is consumed by darkness and disappears.

“Ten!” Paisley runs over to him. She trips and he catches her. The two hug.

“Let’s go!” Ten starts to run.

“Right!” Paisley and the others fallow closely.

As they run, Paisley thinks to herself, “The Ten who spoke to me wasn’t this one. This is the real Ten! The one I know and love! If my nobody self left with his nobody… maybe… my heartless fragment wants his. But, what part do I have? If his heart is in me and my heart is in him. Where is his heartless form?”

While running Paisley is struck with a vision. She thinks of when she struck her own heart after Ten struggled to contain his own heart when striking himself. She thinks of not too long ago when he smashed his own heart again. She stops running and her head is filled with light. She can see endlessly of white. Giggles and laughter can be heard. She sees her Nobody form and Ten’s Nobody holding hands spinning around.

“Paisley!” Taeil shakes her as she stands blankly.

Ten grabs her hand, holds it close to his chest shoving Taeil aside, and gets close to her face, “Please don’t leave me now! I need you!” He looks at Indri who is biting his nails. “We need you!”

Inside Paisley’s mind she smiles watching herself with Ten. They stop and look at her. Both hold out their hands to her. She shakes her head no looking down smiling. As she looks up with a tear falling, “I can feel it! Both of you. Us!” She shakes her head fast closing her eyes making fists beside her body, “I don’t belong here!” she looks up with more tears falling from her eyes as she opens her eyes, “there is so much more for me to learn… I don’t know if I'm strong enough….” She gasps softly as her cheeks are wiped by both Ten and Paisley. She looks forward at them smiling. Taking steps away they both point and a portal opens of light. She nods and runs toward it. Before entering, she turns and waves to them, “Please! Always protect them!” She enters the light.

“No!” Ten looses his grip of Paisley’s hand. He moves right through her in attempts to grasp her as she becomes transparent.

“Ten!” Indri shouts. He leaps forth and blocks Xenelope’s attempt to strike. She has used so much of her strength in controlling Paisley’s heartless form she has difficulty remaining human like.

Xenelope’s shadow from has grown large in a plateau between the ruins and the castle. “Enough of this! I shall have all of your hearts!” Countless enemies of all sort appear all over the place. Ten, Taeil, and Indri take to defeating them while also attempting to protect and call upon Paisley.

At one point the shadowy face of Xenelope attempts to swallow all of them! Taeil raises his staff up high in front of Paisley and creates a strong magical force to repelled her back. All the enemies are eliminated by the star shaped dome about the area. Indri and Ten back up close to him as he turns to the faded Paisley shouting with his wand starting to send out ripple effects from about the star against the foes, “Paisley! Come back to us! I don’t like this feeling! You’re fading, but I can feel you. Here, but not here…” He looks down for a moment and a glimmer of light in the distance that only he can see catches his eyes. “Paisley?” Taeil turns around fast and slams his wand down. As he does this, Paisley’s translucent body grabs his Rm with one hand from behind summoning her blue star seeker in the other hand and slamming it down beside his staff. The faded Paisley then summons her fantasia form and begins to attack against Xenelope. Ten runs beside her as she charges and fails to land a blow in a need to dodge. Felan charges at him. Quickly Ten attacks back. Indri joins him as Taeil flies into the sky to aid Paisley against Xenelope.

Paisley steps back removing her hands from rhe sphere below her castle. The Cornerstone of light. She can see herself and Ten joyously frolicking about. For the first time ever, this object has brought her joy. She brushes her hands over all the dents and scratches he has made into it over the years. The stone is perfect and flawless now. She looks at her hands seeing herself becoming more and more vivid.

“You must sauced where I failed…” Master Yen Sid Speaks. Paisley turns around. She runs forth to hug him and he halts her. She quickly bows and kneels to his magical force.

Paisley hesitates, “I know…” she begins to look up at him, “I know who she is and a part of me…”

“It must be done!” Master Yen Sid shouts! Cloud fill the area with thunder and lighting. He summons the blue star seeker keyblade and takes a defensive stance.

Paisley summons her pink star seeker and takes off running toward him. Yen Sid jump back summoning a barrier to protect himself. Paisley leaps and slams her blade down against the ground to impale it with magic. Master Yen Sid begins to exhort more magic against her and Paisley responds the same with her attack. All about the area the ground starts to crack from both do them. Paisley releases her strain lifting both hands above her with her blade and flings it forth. The blade rotates toward her own grandfather and strikes him. “I can do this!” Paisley catches he blade that boomerangs back toward her. “I must!”

“Good!” Master Yen Sid fills the area in a grey cloud and begins to strike Paisley with his keyblade and magic from all sorts of unknown  locations by appearing by magical teleporting. Paisley is struck many times over and over. Some caught off guard and others hesitating to strike one she cares about. Eventually, she counters a strike. The two end up face to face with their blade making and X formation retaliating one another for supremacy. “You can do it! Do it now! You must!”

“No!” Paisley steps back lowering her stance and spinning around clockwise. With and upper hand swing she slashes her own flesh of blood of a grandfather.

“Very good!” Master Yen Sid arches his back and begins to float over the ground. Fading fast, “I know you will prevail!”

“Noooooo!” Paisley dismissed her blade reaching a hand forth in agony seeing her grandfather begin to fade. “What have I done!” She runs toward him trying to hold him within her arms. “I'm sorry!” She begins to cry again.

“Don’t be!” Master Yen Sid smiles reaching up grabbing her face with both his hands. “I'm so proud of you! Just be yourself!” He holds his hand put to the side and makes a portal of darkness appear. “They’re waiting for you. Take this…” Master Yen Sid arches  his body back for a heart to appear over him and his being fade completely.

Paisley grabs the heart and looks at the darkness confidentiality. Walking into to it, she finds herself nearby of Ten, Indri, and Taeil battling Xenelope and Indri. They are all surrounded by Xenelope’s shadow.

“Xenelope!” Paisley holds her heart out within her palm highest possible.

“What!” Xenelope ceases her attack against the guys and uses all her strength to retain her human like form to attack. “Where did you get that!” Xenelope slashes over and over at Paisley. She blocks and dodges repeatedly landing strikes. Paisley uses the power of the heart to weaken Xenelope. Eventually Tem hurries over. Paisley summons the black keyblade of hearts and stabs to straight through his chest when he approaches. After, she tosses Xenelope’s heart into the air summoning the white keyblade of hearts and strikes it forward into Xenelope. Ten arches his back forth as two heart fragment floats above his body. Immediately after, a third fragment floats out shinning and glistening strongly!

“That one belongs to me! I won’t let you have it!” Xenelope attempts to gran her own heart and Paisley’s fragment from Ten at the same time. Paisley strikes Ten’s attaches fragments with both blades. “There’s no way I'm letting you take Paisley’s heart!” Ten pulls Paisley’s fragment within his being and regains full consciousness. He begins to strike toward Xenelope passing by Paisley’s breaking his heart who succeeds. One piece flies into him giving him tremendous strength and power as the other spins around forming a heartless form of Ten. The heartless form of Paisley ceases her attack and stares at him mesmerized. Paisley takes both of their hands and joins them. The two smile and fade into darkness. Xenelope is effected by the loss of Paisley’s heartless and is weakened. In one final attempt to take control Xenelope fails when both Paisley and Ten strike her heart with the keyblades of heart! They hold one another’s hands as they do this and succeed. Xenelope wails in agony. As she disintegrates, Paisley and Ten take to one final battle against Falen.

Falen is weak and breathing heavily. Tem charges in for a final strike and Paisley stops him blocking with her blade. “What are you doing?” Ten questions.

“He's beat… just look at him.” Paisley steps aside as Felan falls to the ground on his knees first. When falling forth Paisley catches him.

“Ice cream sundae… peanuts… fudge…” Felan mutters.

“I wish I had one right now for you.” A small tear forms in Paisley’s eye. Taeil appears by her magic with one in hand and sets it down om the ground in front of Felan's drooped face.

“Wow! Is that!” Felan snaps out of his weakened state. Sitting om the ground happily pulling the sundae close between his legs he starts to gulp it down. “It’s so yummy!”

Paisley starts to faint and Taeil catches her with Ten right there aiding. “I have to finish my destiny…” Paisley stands up strong. She holds out her hand between Ten, Taeil, and Indri, “The worlds are calling for us!” She smiles and clps3s her eyes. Taiel and Indri slam their hands on top of hers. Ten walks around and grabs her other hand then slams his other on top.

“Let’s help them!” Ten shouts.

“As long as we’re together, nothing cam stop us!” Indri shouts.

“I couldn’t wish for it any other way!” Taeil adds in. He is surprised when his shooting star appears between them all and explodes!

Mickey appears landing his hand on top, “our journey is just beginning!”

They all nod at one another smiling.

“I love this feeling!” Paisley shouts.

“Yes!” Taeil shouts.

“me too!” Indri adds in.

“It’s something spectacular.” Mickey speaks.

“Paisley… I… I…” They all fade away zooming across the universe. Ten whispers to Paisley, “I love you! My heart always belongs to you.”

“As mine does to you!” Paisley and Ten are flying across the world of her castle looking over others, “I love you too! I love how ae can protect everyone! Here… and…” They pass through a dark portal and enter darkness filled endlessly with enemies. The five begin tall attack. “It’s up to us to put the hearts where they belong…” Paisley begins to fade looking at them all, “Even it if means we must be apart, we are always together. I'm needed where you can’t go. I will call when needed. Take care!” Paisley fades and all dive to her unsuccessful. They all grab their hearts and smile and continue to attack the enemies freeing the hearts. As the hearts are freed they are consumed by both darkness and light. They all know it’s Paisley sorting them out to where they desire and belong.

This is the song I feel would be great for this. I do love Utada Hikaru from the other 5 or 7 games depending if you can play the full Japanese ones never released in America. 

And!

I know Ten is rich, before his K-Pop Career, and I bet could help fun the game. 

Better yet! This song released after I wrote this and put him in as a character.
