You stared out at the ocean as the ship gently sailed across the water. Seeing all the sea creatures reminded you of Inkopolis, and of your other friends. You wanted to check up on them and see how they were doing, but were afraid of what they might say when they realize that Bobble is missing.

Placing your hand over your heart, you can feel the empty feeling without her by your side.

Y/n: I will find you Bobble, and I'll defeat any Nobody or Heartless that get in my way.

You look up to the stars, and one of them shined brighter than all the others.

Sora: You like looking up at the night sky too?

You turn to see Sora standing there, a gentle smile on his face.

Y/n: Actually, this is the first time I've done this. But, I think I could get used to this.

Sora throws his legs over the railing and sits next to you, putting his attention to the sky as well.

Sora: You know what i was told? I was told that all those stars, are the hearts of other worlds shining down on us.

Y/n: The hearts of other worlds... Hey Sora.

Sora: What's up?

Y/n: You wanted to know how I knew about Saïx and the Organization, right?

Sora: Yeah, how do you know about them?

Y/n: Promise not to think any different of me?

He promises and you take a deep breath, and told him everything. Your creation, imprisonment, escape, and all the way up to now.

Sora: I see... but now your on our side, right?

Y/n: Yeah, of course! Bobble and Riku, Axel and Roxas, they all showed me what it's like to have a heart. And now that I have one, and this Keyblade, I want to help people. I want to return the favor to all of them.

Sora felt a tear roll down his cheek, and without thinking, he said something.

Sora: Well, I'm proud of how far you've come.

Y/n: Huh?

Sora: Sorry, I didn't know what I was saying! Haha.

When he said that, you knew it was Roxas that was speaking. It seems that Sora is still unaware that he and Roxas have merged again.

Y/n: No worries.

Skra smiled and wiped the tear from his eye. Afterwards, you both looked back to the stars. Moments of silence passed until Sora had another question.

Sora: So this Bobble girl, you really love her, huh?

Y/n: Yeah, I do. I don't know where I'd be if I never met her. For all I know, I probably would've been captured and put back in the cell... or worse. I hope she's alright...

Sora: I'm sure she's fine. The Organization might be a bunch of jerks, but I'm sure that they'd never hurt her.

You wanted to believe that, but still, the thought kept going through your mind. Suddenly, Jack's voice broke you out of your thoughts.

Jack: Ahoy lads! Black Pearl dead ahead!

You look forward to see the black sailed ship in front of you. Out of all the pirates you see on the ship, one figure grabs your attention.

Y/n: A black coat.

Sora: One of the Organization?

Y/n: Yeah, he seems to be just waiting.
