Reunion
Michael sat on the beach, looking out on the horizen. Suddenly, a girl's voice echoed in his head. "I miss you Michael "
He shook his head. A memory of Elaine playing back in his mind.
It was 10 years ago. Elaine and Michael had just found thier secret place. Michael was drawing Elaine on a cave wall, and Eliane was drawing him.
6 years later, Michael was doodling a dream he dreampt the previous night. He drew a star shape in his hand and he was giving it to Elaine.
He smiled at how he had thought of other worlds but had shoved the idea out of his mind. Now he knew that the star was a Paupu fruit.
Xemichal sighed as the darkness faded from around him and he found himself staring at what he used to be. He walked up to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder. "Your Destiny is waiting." he whispered as he faded in a bright blue light. No one knew Xemichal's true intentions of having Michael lead him to Kingdom Hearts.
As Xemichal faded, Michael looked confused and shook his head. The sky grew dark. Heartless popped up out of nowhere. Michael ran to that world's secret place. He ran up to the door and he was blown back along with Sora, Riku and Kairi as the world was destroyed.

Traverse Town
Michael's eyes slowly opened as he came back to conciousness. He opened his eyes to an unfamiliar town. Standing over him were Sora, Riku, Leon, Aerith,Yuffie, Donald and Goofy.
"Thanks for coming you guys." said Riku.
"Good to see you Leon!" Sora said.
Aerith was looking down on his as he awakened.
" He's waking up!" said Aerith.
Everyone looked at him as he groggily opened his eyes. He felt something come into his hands. He looked down and saw the key shaped object from the island.
Everyone tensed as King Mickey walked up. "Another Key-bearer?" he asked.
Yuffie responded "Guess so. He was murmering something about Father and Elaine in his sleep."
Michael sat up. "Butterfly Cavern! Is it Okay? Where is my father? Why did he forget me for twelve years?"
King Mickey asked calmly "who is your father?"
Michael looked at the king and asked "Don't you remember me your majesty or has thirteen years been long enough for you to forget?"
Mickey then got a look of realization in his eyes as he remembered meeting Michael as a child in Radiant Garden. "I am sorry Michael, but your father Ansem the Wise is dead..."
Everyone just looked at Michael in complete astonishment. Finally, Aerith spoke. "Everyone thought you had dissapeared twelve years ago." Michael ran up to hug his old friends. "Nope" Michael said with a smile. "I went to a place called butterfly cavern for eleven years then got sent to Destiny Islands until now." Everyone sighed as they walked for Cid's ship.

Elaine stared out over the horizon; it was so far. She sat on Butterfly Cavern, waiting. She held in her lap a notebook, and a long, thin pencil with sharp lead. She drew a picture.... of Michael. She didn't really know where he was, but she knew where his Nobody was. She sighed. She wanted to see him again.

More Than A Dream
Michael seemed distant the rest of the time they were talking. He kept looking out the window and once, he closed his eyes and saw an image of the girl who had kept him company and been his friend all those years on Butterfly Cavern. He wondered what Elaine was doing right now and suddenly found himself in a dreamlike state. He was on the beach of butterfly cavern, in front of him was Elaine with her sketchbook. She was drawing him. His hand fluttered delacatley and touched the necklace he wore around his neck, concealed, and remembered why he had made it for Elaine in the first place.
It had been Elaine's birthday and Michael had been working on it for almost three months. The necklace was in the shape of a heart. The design was complicated and had a small symbol in the middle of the crystal that he had found deep in thier secret place. The symbol looked like a heart with two holes in it with sharp objects coming off the bottom flipped upside-down. The thing had taken him so long because it had been a large crystal. The finished product was absolutely beautiful. But he never got the chance to give it to her, for thier island had been destroyed the day before her seventeenth birthday.
Still on the island, he walked over and sat next to her small form. He took the necklace off and placed it on her sketchpad. It became real almost instantly. she gasped as he picked up the pencil and in his ghost-like form wrote on the pad, Happy Birthday Elaine Your friend Michael.
He returned to the small shop as his brother was shaking him and yelling at him to wake up. Michael looked at everyone and smiled. He reached for the necklace that he had concealed. It wasn't there. He shook his head in disbelief.

She had seen the letter appear over the top of her paper. She could remember Michael's writing very clearly. And the necklace... She picked it up gently, staring at it with awe. Michael made this for me, she thought softly. The island had been gone before he'd had a chance to celebrate her birthday with her. She looked at the sky; night was falling. She clipped the necklace around her neck, holding it protectively. Protecting a memory, a gift, and protecting her friend. She missed him.

Michael woke up with a jolt. He was tangled in his blankets and drenched with sweat. Had he dreampt her putting on his necklace on that beautiful beach bathed in the warm light of the sunset? He shook his head and gathered his wits for a second then jumped out of bed. As he landed on the floor of his temporary room, he thought of Butterfly Cavern. Darkness envoloped him as a corridor of darkness opened.
* * * * * *
He awoke to the wonderful sunset he had seen in his dream. He was right behind Elaine. He got up and flopped down beside her.

It was like a dream....
Elaine couldn't remember acting on her own will. She only remembered that she was there.... and Michael.
Elaine smiled as her companion appeared beside him. "Hey, Michael." She looked back at the sunset; their feet rested by the cool water, and Elaine watched a shell appear in the sand. She reached forward, picking it up; it was like a mirror, but she didn't see herself. She saw Elixean. She closed her eyes, sighing softly.
She handed the shell to Michael, smilnig softly.

He took the shell and looked but didn't see himself either, he saw Xemichal.

Elaine murmured softly, "I wish we could see who we were, not who we are."

Michael looked over to her and asked, "What was that?"

Elaine shook her head, saying louder now; "Nothing." She looked back at the ocean. She smiled. "You know, I haven't seen you in a while..."

He smiled back at her.
He looked back to the sunset as some one clapped behind them. They turned to see Xemichal.

Elaine turned, leaping to her feet, shufflnig in the sand as she stood in a battle-ready position, obviously startled by thsi tall blue-haired man's sudden appearance. "Wh-who are you?" she whispered.
What am I saying? I know exactly who he is! But... do I, really? she thought, her wide blue eyes scared.

Xemichal grinned and snapped. two corridors of darkness opened on either side of him. Demyx and Zexion stepped out and grabbed Elaine's arms.

The shimmery blue eyes of the seventeen year old were wide and wet as she began to kick and scream. Zexion rolled his eyes with annoyance, and through the darkness he mumbled a few words. Luxord appeared from the shadows, clasping his hands around Elaine's mouth. She continued trying to scream, but his hand was tightly pressed against her. And she found it hard to breathe. Now overcome with fury, she bit his finger, and he pulled back, yelping sharply. Startled, Zexion and Demyx both lsot their grip as they jumped back.
NOW she felt defiant. She twirled around, kicking her leg strongly into Demyx' stomach. He fell back onto the ground with a grunt. Elaine swung her fist at Zexion's arm, but the man teleported behind her before she could hit. He reached towards her neck, pinching his fingers around a pressure point very strongly. She was knocked out cold.
In the Castle...
Elixean paced nervously. "Haven't seen Xemichal all day... He's up to something..." She looked at the ceiling, stopping to look. "Oh, boy...." She folded her arms across her chest as darkness began to seep from the ground around her, pulling her through darkness to take her to his floor.
She looked around. He hadn't been here in a while. "Ooohh!!" she snapped, the wind suddenly slashing around her for half a second. "I bet I know what he's doing...!!" She whirled around towards the stairs that led up, and she sprinted up them with such speed that she could've easily won a race against Larxene. She slowed to a silent walk as she reached the eighth floor, walking with long strides towards the door. She heard flickering of fire as it flicked on and off inside. She knocked lgihtly with the knuckle of her index finger before opening the door.
She stared at Axel with those pools of black-sapphire. She smiled slightly. "Xemichal's on a rampage... doing something stupid..." she murmured.
She watched him snapping his fingers, flame flickering from life to nothing in his palm over and over, without stopping. He turned his own green eyes to her, and for a long time they stared at each other, the flame still snapping, until finally Axel nodded, standing and striding over to Elixean's side.
