*The next night*

*Riku Pov*

All of us are getting ready to go over to Rapunzel and Flynns castle, Violet and Jayden went ahead of us because Flynn wanted to talk to them. I look over at Cloud and Zack. "You both ready for tonight? Hopefully everything goes according to plan." Cloud looks over at me and sighs. "I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen tonight. I don't know why but I just have a feeling." I look down and nod. We all head out to Corona and see Jayden and Violet there already. "Hey how are you both doing?" Violet smiles widely and so does Jayden. "Yeah, Flynn just wanted to make sure we would be okay coming here. He also told me and Jayden that he would like to make us a part of his family, now that he can take us in, without having to worry about taking care of us." The girls smile and go with Violet to Rapunzel to get their dresses on. The rest of us go over and talk to Jayden and Flynn. After a little bit the girls come down in their dresses. Aqua comes down first with Avery and Terra just stands there in awe. Avery giggles and they both go over to Terra and hug. The next person is Kairi and Sora smiles and blushes when seeing her. They stand to the side and Tifa walks down and smiles when Cloud also does what Terra did and just stands there in awe. Lastly Violet, Rapunzel and Emma all come down together. I smile at Emma and she looks up at me and blushes. "You look beautiful Emma." She smiles and kisses me. Violet looks at me and smiles then walks off with Rapunzel, Flynn, and Jayden. We all go to dance. "Riku, what if Asher never comes back?" I look down at her and sigh. "He will. He knows that we will take him back no matter what his powers are. I just think he feels lost, just like when we helped Elsa come to terms with her ice powers, she finally reunited with her sister." Emma nods and kisses me. "Thank you for sticking by him." "He's our son. Blood or not. We raised him and he will always be a part of our family." We keep dancing and I look over and see Violet walk outside to where she would meet with Asher. I also see Zack walking that way just to make sure that nothing happens to Violet. Everyone seems really happy to be here. Ventus is dancing with someone. Avery found a little friend to dance with. I notice Terra looking over and looks a bit upset that his little girl is already dancing with a boy and Aqua just keeps smiling at them and scolding Terra for trying to stop the two kids from dancing. Avery looks up and gives her dad a huge innocent smile and he just looks at her and smiles a sad smile because she is growing up too fast. Avery smiles at the boy and the boy dips her a bit and twirls her around. I smile at them and then I see that Jayden has also found someone to dance with. I look around and notice Asher walking inside. I look at him confused. I stop dancing and Emma looks confused. "I'll be right back Emma. I need to go and do something real quick." She frowns a bit but tells me to hurry back. I walked over to where Asher is. "I thought you were supposed to meet Violet somewhere. I saw her walk towards the balcony." He smiles and hugs me. "I will. I just was told to act like nothing was up by Sephiroth. He wants me to do something tonight to show my alliance to him. I don't know what it is or will be. It can't be anything good though. I'm going to go and find Violet." He walks off towards where Violet went. I walk back to look for Emma only to find she's right behind me looking angry. "You knew Asher was going to be in here? What is going on?" "Em I can't tell you, Asher wanted it to just be between him and I." Emma looked down. "Why are you keeping secrets from me? Why now, we've been so much for any secrets." "Emma please just trust that we have it under control." She sighs and then walks away into the crowd. I go and follow her. "Emma! Please stop!" Emma keeps going, but I caught up to her and I grab her wrist turning her to face me. "Emma please." "We promised each other no more secrets after we've both almost lost each other. Please tell me when is going on. I can help." "It's too dangerous, Emma I can't lose you." She glares at me. "I am helping regardless of what you say." I sigh and shake my head. "I can't because then you could get hurt!" "Well what about you getting hurt?! What about Asher getting hurt?! How is that okay?! You are doing the same thing that Asher has been to Violet. You and I are a team when it comes to this stuff. Please tell me! Riku, please just trust that I can help you with this..." We walk outside to a balcony and neither of us start talking yet. "Riku?" "Asher is planning on going to get rid of Sephiroth. He wants to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone. He told me, Cloud, and Zack a secret." Emma looks down and nods. "You can't stop me from helping out with this. I will do anything for my son, and for you Riku." I nod and then kiss her. "You have to promise me that if I tell you to get out of here you will." "But what if yo-" "Promise me." She nods and kisses me again. "I promise." I kiss her again before I walk off to go and help where they told me to be. I got around to where I was supposed to be not thinking that my biggest fears would become true. I got ambushed by the crowd of guards that were now traitors to Flynn and Rapunzel. I saw everyone getting shoved out there besides Emma and Leon. I hope Emma hasn't gotten herself into any trouble. I also hope Asher is okay.
