-Riku's POV-
"Ugh... My head..." I felt as though I was dreaming...
"Riku! You're okay!" Sora was sitting at my bedside. I look around: all white, and gray curtains.
"Where...am I?"
"The hospital! Those demon things sure did a number on you. You were out for a week!" I look at the calendar. It was a week after school started.. The time...I met Mirra.
"Where's Mirra? Is she alright?"
"Uh, what? Who are you talking about?" Sora just laughs at my question. "Is she your imaginary girlfriend, Riku? Damn, I never knew you were that desperate!"
"Huh? What do you mean by that? She is real! Look!" I summon the Keyblade that I saw she was holding... Laminas Caelum. Her Key...
"Woah... Maybe your dreams connected to reality... Like the Dream Eaters!"
I look at the Keyblade. So, she's not real...? Just a figment of my imagination...? For God's sake, Riku... I couldn't believe that I went so far as to dream about an adventure that never happened... But, holding this Keyblade gives me a glimmer of hope... She is real... I just know it...

-1 month later-
"Riku! You're here!" Xion hugs my arm before quickly letting go. "You look as though you haven't been getting enough sleep. Are you thinking about your imaginary girlfriend again?"
"Shut up, Xion."
"C'mon, Riku! You know I'm the only one for you!" She winks at me. I honestly don't like Xion in that way. She's a bit too...annoying... And clingy...
"No thanks. I've told you a thousand times, I don't like you as a girlfriend."
"Well, I won't stop until you say yes!" She leaves. Finally. I go to my locker and get the books needed. As I walk towards History, I bump into someone.
"Ow!" The voice sounded all too familiar... She dropped her books, and I gather them for her. As I hand them to her, I realize who it was...
It was Mirra! But, she looked different. Her hair was shorter and a bit wavy at the bottom, and she didn't have glasses. Instead, she wore a green cap with fluffy ends... Her bangs looked messier too, as if she never cuts them, and she was tearing up a bit..
"Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you." She takes her books and wipes her tears...
"Y-yes... Thank you..." She runs past me.
"Wait!"
She stops. "Huh...?"
"What's your name?"
"Me...? Mirella Berlitz..."
There's no doubt that's the same Mirra from the dreams! She is real!
"Do you...want to hang out sometime..?"
"Ah..!" Mirra runs away.
"Great, I scared her off..." I walk to my class, reminiscing about what just happened...
The entire adventure with Mirra as a Demon Queen was just a coma-induced dream... I will eventually learn about the real Mirra, and why I had that dream in the first place...
Mirra...I'm glad... That we've met... Finally...
