It had been a long night..

About midnight, to be exact.

"You awake?"

The female with the bright white hair turned to look around the room. She scanned it with her eyes, but did not see anything. Nor did she hear anything.

"You awake Ventus?"

She sat up, and slowly got up off of the couch.. Walking towards the balcony.

"Venti! What are you doing?!"

Ventus was leaning dangerously far over the edge of the railing; her hair wildly blowing around in the wind.

She didn't say anything; just continuing to stare at the ground.

"You okay?"

Ventus turned her head to face Oreo, "I didn't know you were awake-"

"I just got up. I was looking for you."

Ventus turned again, to look at the ground, and let out a heavy sigh.

Oreo walked over to her, and gently set her hand on her friend's shoulder., "You know...you can always talk to me."

She sighed again and stepped away from the railing, then looked back at it.

"What were you doing that close to the railing anyways?"

"That's none of your concern."

"Well..... whenever something is bothering me, I always go for a walk."

"Hm."

"Why don't you come with me...and stop leaning so far."

Ventus looked back at Oreo and gave a faint smile.

"I think I'll come with you. I'm not doing anything else anyways."

Oreo walked over to her, and gently took her hand, "Come on! What are we waiting for?!"

Oreo practically drug Ventus out of the house, and they started walking.

The sky was dark, but was magnificently lit up by mullions, and millions of bright, twinkling stars.

"You see that one!?"

"Mhmm....."

"That's my favorite star!"

"There's no way that you could actually tell it's the same star from nights past...is there?"

"I don't know! But I still like the star that always appears over there."

Oreo wrapped Ventus in a tight hug and they both smiled.

"I think this is going to be fun."

"Mhmm!"

"Is that Aries?!"

"How did you know Venti?!"

"I like looking at the stars as well. Aqua and I used to do it all the time...before-" She broke off her sentence with a sigh, and turned her gaze back to the sky, "But this sure is relaxing."

She laid down on her back, and started fiddling with one of her two braids.

"It's been a long time since you braid your hair like that Ventus...why did you do it?"
