Warnings: you already know

Rating: SFW

"One dream is connected to another, which means we must choose in which 'Sleeping World' you will begin. I will return you to the Destiny Islands just before they were swallowed by the darkness and plunged into sleep. Once dreams take you, you must let them guide you to the Sleeping Worlds. As there are seven pure lights, there are seven 'Sleeping Keyholes.' Unlocking these will both grant you new powers, and free the worlds from their wakelessness. Complete this task, and return here safely, and I will name you both...true masters," Yen Sid said. Before the girls went to join the boys, their fathers stopped them.

"What's troubling you?" Xemnas asked.

"It's our moms," Yui said.

"They're alive?" Ansem asked.

"That and they're possessed by a Negaverse," Roxy said. Ansem and Xemnas's world snapped after hearing those words.

"H-how were they...?" Ansem asked.

"We don't know. But we saw them in Traverse Town, possessed by the Negaverse," Rumi said.

"Well, I know you girls can save them. Along with the princess," Xemnas said.

"Princess?" the girls asked.

"We'll explain later. Now go," Ansem said. The girls nodded and went to go join the boys.

Riku and Rumi entered a world with a large bell tower. In the square of the cathedral, a tall man in gold armor chased down a dark-haired woman in a violet dress.

"Stop her!" the man said. Reaching impassable festival tents, she turned and bowed to him, disappearing into a puff of pink smoke. Riku and Rumi walked into the area, where the woman ran by them. They stopped and watched her escape.

"You there! Have you seen a gypsy woman?" the man asked as he walked over to them.

"Nope. Sorry," Riku said. The woman hid around the corner, overhearing their conversation.

"All right. Thanks," the man said. He walked over to a man with strong features. He was dressed in a long black robe with a red sash hanging from his triangular hat.

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. We've lost her," the first man said.

"Slippery vermin!" the other man said as he turned to the man. (why am i thinking of the tiktok of him turning into a weird centipede and breathing heavily?!) "I'm beginning to question having summoned you back from the wars, Captain Phoebus." The captain sighed and followed him. Riku and Rumi continued walking and the woman stepped out of hiding.

"Thank you. You stood up for me," she said as she walked over to them, smiling. "I'm Esmeralda."

"Riku."

"I'm Rumi."

"And it's not like we know what a 'gypsy' is. Why are they chasing you?" Riku said.

"Judge Frollo has been hunting us for years. We gypsies are guilty of nothing but loving our freedom, yet Frollo hates whatever he can't control. Now he's even brought in fresh blood to torment us." Esmeralda sighed. "I'd hate to know what darkness drives that man."

"I think we can imagine... Tell me more. Was he always like this?" Rumi said.

"I don't give Frollo much thought. But if you'd like, you could try Notre Dame. They say it's a place for answers." Riku and Rumi looked over to the cathedral. They entered through the massive double doors, making their way across the tiled floor. The church was silent and still.
