A lot happened before, during, and after the Mark of Mastery exam and my life has changed just in the matter of two months. I was in Radiant Garden now, celebrating Kiyoko's birthday early. She could walk now, Serah said she walked more steps shortly after I went to help Sora.

Kiyoko, Amara, and I walked through the streets until we saw Uncle Scrooge packing some ingredients.

"Hey, Uncle Scrooge!" I called out to him. "What'cha doing?"

"Ah, hello lasses! I'm moving my inventory to Twilight Town. I've opened a bistro." He told us.

"Mommy, what's a bistro?" Amara asked me and I smiled at her.

"A bistro is a place to relax and eat good food." I rustled her hair and she giggled.

"Piri! There you are!" We heard Goofy and him and Donald came running up to us.

"You know you can't be anywhere without us!" Donald scolded and I pouted, rolling my eyes.

"Welp, I tried to get away from you guys so me, Amara, and Kiyoko can spend a day together alone." I commented.

"Piri, as much as we love for you to hang out with your daughters, you have to think about their safety. We have to head back to Master Yen Sid's Tower." Goofy had a sad face and I teared up, looking at Kiyoko. Her eyes meet mine.

"Mama, do you have to go?" She was tearing up now. I couldn't bare it. I whimpered and hugged her, kneeling down to the ground. Amara whimpered and hugged us too.

"Mama... I have something to tell you..." Amara looked at me as her chocolate brown hues met up with my crystal blues. "I'm not the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts."

I gasped in total shock at first, not sure what to think. I opened my mouth to speak but closed it again as my mind would speak the words either. What was there to say.

"W-Wha...?" is all I could manage to say.

"But Piri told us Yami said you were!" Donald said and she shook her head.

"Maybe so, but she was wrong." She stated, "It's not my purpose."

"Then who is the guardian?" Goofy asked, "And who do we find him or her?"

"I... I don't know exactly..." Amara scratched her head. "I do know this person has a balanced heart just as Mom did."

"So, I'm not the only one that has a balanced heart, huh..." I smiled and sighed in relief. That smile disappeared when I remembered we had to go. "Thanks for telling me, Amara."

"No problem." She looked down, still crying. "Mama, be safe please..."

"I will-"

"No! Mama's going to stay here! Daddy's going to be here to!" Kiyoko shouted, sobbing into my chest. I cried with her.

"K-Kiyoko... Please don't cry..." I whimpered and looked at Donald. "Donald, can't we bring the girls to Master Yen Sid's Tower?"

Goofy lit up, "Hey, that's a great idea!"

"Yeah!" Donald smiled, "They still have to keep the world order!"

Kiyoko sniffed, wiping her nose, "World 'Boarder'?"

"I said 'Order'!" Donald quacked, crossing his arms.

"See? Even Kiyoko knows how hard it is to understand you sometimes." Amara giggled along with Kiyoko, making the rest of us laugh. Donald can be hard to understand.
