Just A Dream...? Book 2 (Kingdom Hearts) (Finished)

Why Doesn't He Remember?

That member suddenly appeared again when we set off. I was a bit annoyed with him, since he was just randomly coming and going. But he never seemed to notice my bitter face. Instead, and kept talking to us.

"Here, you will meet people you've known in the past. And you will meet people that you miss." He explained to us.

I looked confusingly at Ven and Axel, but they both shrugged, confused as well. The member pointed to the three of us. "We already know your memories, so this shouldn't be too difficult." He held up his hand to reveal a card with a picture of.....My house on it. He threw it to me, and I easily caught it, then I examined it with Axel and Ven peeking over my shoulders. "With this, you can reunite with those people you hold dear. It is a promise for the reunion you seek." He explained. "Hold the card to open the door. And beyond it, lies a whole new world." He took a step back to reveal the golden door behind him. "Proceed, Mysterica. To lose, and proclaim anew, or, to claim anew only to lose...." He suddenly vanished in a portal.

I stared at the card with sad eyes. I had remembered this house well...It wasn't my real home, but it was the home of my Dream self. This was where I grew up with Luke. I could define almost everything that had happened throughout that dream, but I wouldn't say it in front of Axel of course...Since Luke and I had dated.

"So..." Ven interrupted my thoughts and snapped me back to reality. "We go through the door with the card?"

I was finally able to tear my eyes away from that card and looked at Ven. "I guess so..." I was going to say, 'Of course', but then I would have to explain everything is all the video games of 'Kingdom Hearts' and since we were in a dangerous place, I didn't want to get into a whole explanation.

Axel patted my back, attempting to reassure me. "Don't worry about it babe!  I'm sure we can get through this in no time! You know what Dori says, 'Just keep swimming!'" He began to push me toward the door.

I rolled my eyes, but eventually began to walk on my own. When I had opened the door, light suddenly shined in my eyes and I was in another world.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. We were at my school...Luna Junior High....I retained it in my mind very well. I still remembered all my classes I used to have and the whole layout of the school. 

I nudged Axel. "Should we go inside?"

Axel shook his head. "Maybe not." He pointed to the sun that was high in the sky. "It's like, in the middle of the afternoon, they are still probably studying and are doing whatever school students do."

The bell suddenly rang loudly from inside of the school. At first, we though it was just telling the school students to switch classes. But, everyone poured outside and buses started to pull up beside the sidewalk and children were going to their buses.

I crossed my arms and smirked at Axel. "You were saying?"

Axel scoffed. "Well I was wrong, jeez..."

I giggled, and turned away to watch the people walk out again. But one particular red-headed kid appeared out of the school. I gasped and my mouth hung open. I tugged at Axel's sleeve and pointed, "Axel, look! I-It's Luke!"

"Luke?" Axel eyes darted to where my finger was pointing at. "Oh, yea I remember."

I waved my arm in the air, trying to get his attention. "Luke! Luke Luke Luke!" I yelled. People were giving me strange looks, but I honestly didn't care. I didn't know that they could see me, but I didn't care about that either. I just wanted to talk to my friend again.

Luke noticed me and he lifted an eyebrow. He looked around him, seeing if this was a joke, then began to slowly come toward me. I smiled and placed my hands behind my back. "Hey! I missed you!"
