*Third Person POV*

Donald peeked into the room the Heartless had gone into, only to find it empty.

"Where did it go?" he wondered aloud.

Goofy and Sora walked in behind him, helping to search for the Heartless.  Donald scanned the room, and his eyes landed on something sitting atop a table.  A beautiful red rose was sparkling inside a glass case.  He couldn't seem to take his eyes off it.  Donald wandered towards it, mesmerized, and almost didn't notice the Heartless standing right in front of him.

"Waak!" he exclaimed, jumping back.  "Found it!"

Suddenly, dozens more Heartless started appearing along with it, surrounding them.  Sora drew his keyblade, preparing to fight.

*Your POV*

You sat in the corner, crutches laying by your side.  You didn't understand why you couldn't go along with them to find one measly Heartless.  Although, from what you knew, more of them were bound to show up.  And they were only doing this for your safety.  Still, with your knowledge of this universe, the four of you could be unstoppable.  Even though your existence in this place most likely threw off the entire plot as you knew it to be, you had something that no one in this universe could even dream of: Knowledge of all the worlds.  It was a power that Ansem would be happy to claim for his own and use to his advantage.  Thankfully Sora, Donald and Goofy had saved you before that could happen.  Otherwise, who knows what he would've done to everyone?

You contemplated your thoughts for a while and was just starting to wonder what was taking them so long when you heard a cry from the other room.  The room Sora, Donald, and Goofy had entered.

"Somebody help us!" you heard Donald yell.

You scrambled to your feet without hesitation and made your way over to the side room.  But before you could get there, you saw a tall figure before you.  You hid behind one of the pillars lining the walls before the shadowy being could spot you, and from there you witnessed them bang open the doors to the side room.  When the light from the other room hit the stranger, you realized it was the Beast.  The  Beast was standing right in front of you!  He slowly walked into the room and you crept close behind, trying to stay out of sight.  Even though you were just feet away from meeting the one and only Beast, you knew he was known to have a temper.

From the doorway, you saw Beast destroy all the Heartless that had predictably shown up in one swing.  Wow, he's really strong, you thought.

"Just in time!" Sora said, not noticing you standing in the doorway.  The Beast walked in his direction, but when he approached him, he violently pushed him to the side along with Donald and Goofy.  It seemed the only thing he had his eyes on was the rose.  You did admit that that made sense, though.  It was basically the only thing keeping him human, or close to human, that is.

Just as you predicted, Beast gently scooped up the rose and held it close to him for a moment.  He then turned to leave, and you hid behind the pillar again, noticing that he was in one of his moods.  Once he was gone, you made your way towards the room again to meet up with Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

"Gee, do ya think he maybe forgot who we are?" Goofy asked.

"I don't he would forget you that easily, seeing as you helped him get Belle back," you replied.

"With this many Heartless around, something must be up," Sora said.

"Why'd he have to do that?" Donald muttered, rubbing his face where Beast had hit him.
