The boys jumped out from the ship and gets Aaron to safety, into their gummi ship. They all was surprised to see him so injured by the accident.
"Is he alright?" Kairi looked over at Sora, and then to Aaron who was out cold.
"Could have guessed something like this would have happened." Roxy sighed and rested her arms crossed over her chest.
"Hey c'mon it's not his faul." Kairi said to her friend who sighed. "Oh it's not?" Roxy walked up to Kairi, looking her in the eyes.
"He could have jumped in our Gummiship, instead of jumping in a broken machine. Risking his own life by doing so." Roxy didn't realise until Kairi's eyes was wide, that she had spoke loudly.
Roxy didn't mean to sound mean, but she was honest and told nothing but the truth.
Nearby Aaron, was the small pendant he was holding, as well as a slightly burnt picture of him with a woman with deep blue hair. The girl with the blue hair was in a wedding dress.
Riku looked at Kairi.
-She's right, he-
-We can't blame him for anything, he's the one who's hurt. Don't be angry with him, guys! Sora's interruption was not appreciated.
-As i said, Sora. Roxy's right, it's his own fault for not getting on our gummyship. Riku continued,
-But we can't say what it was that was his fault, now can we? We'll have to wait for him to wake up. In the meantime, let's be on our way.
"Thank you." Roxy small smiled to Riku, who stood up for her, she was glad he did.
Kairi nodded her head, she agreed that they should not argue about who's wrong or not.
"We should head to that world on the map we saw earlier."
Kairi said and looked at the map.
Aaron had them let rest in the mean time on the way to the world, with an unkown Tower showing up on the map. During the time to get there, Roxy did a healing for the wounds on Aaron.
"He will be ok for now, we only need to have an eye on him." She was done the healing, and eyed her friends to see that Kairi nodded with a smile on her face.
He tossed and turned in his sleep, obviously restless. He may be having a nightmare. He involuntarily clutches the pendant tight, but the picture drops out of his hand. They can now see it more clearly.
Roxy took the image and scanned it with her eyes. "Hey, guys look at this."
She showed her friends the photo that Aaron had just dropped.
"It belongs to him, it most be someone he holds dear." She said, Kairi study the girl on the photo.
"Oh, she is so beautiful." Kairi smiled and study the photo of the woman, Roxy nodded her head.
"Wonder who she is to him." The two girls glanced over at the sleeping Aaron, after all he would tell them, when he's awakes.
Sora eyed the photograph & Aaron.
-Maybe it's his sister or something? Is he married maybe? Maybe it's his mother?
-Well atleast it's someone that matters to him. Let's question him when he wakes up, there's no point in speculating without any knowledge.
Riku's answer made the group silent. Now, all they had to do was wait.
If they looked on the back for some clues about who the girl is, they see "Our wedding." The writing is faded. In slightly newer print, there is more writing. "Rest in Peace, love...I'll never forget" They could likely piece together what happened.
Roxy raised an eyebrow when she noted a text on the back of the picture. "Look behind the picture." She told Sora who hold it and turned it around, the gang was pretty surprised.
"So this woman here is his wife?" Kairi looked shocked, and so did Sora aswell.
"Well yeah, it say so. Doesn't it?" Roxy crossed her arms over her chest with a smirk on her face.
Aaron is woken up by the shouting. "Wh....what....h-hey....." He looks over at the gang, who were looking at the picture. "O-oh.....r-right....." He looks incredibly sad.
"I am sorry for your loss." Kairi said and gived Aaron the pic back to him.
"You don't need to bring it up if you don't want to, we understand." Kairi smiled warmly.
The ship has already land in the world where the Tower is. They jumped out to see what this world has to give.
He pockets the photo and stands up. His face shows an expression of pure depression....like he's going to cry. "I....I miss her so much......"
-Riku! What's that, over there? Sora pointed over beyond the hills from where the gummiship had landed.
There was nothing there.
-Ah yes! I see it! Let's go! Adventure! Riku exclaimed,
-You guys should come when you're done, we'll be waiting! Sora ran ahead
-Yeah, i'm going with Sora on this one. You'll catch up!
Riku & Sora went on their merry way, leaving the girls with Aaron in their care.
"H-hold on you two. Geez, they are always so childish." Roxy spoke and walked after the two. "C'mon Kairi!" Kairi nods to her friend that she will stay with the man for now.
"It's ok to miss her." Kairi smiled and turned her way to where her friends had gone.
She looked back at Aaron with a smile. "C'mon let's go, they might have found something fun."
"He looks down at his feet, hiding his face from view. They can see teardrops falling near his feet*
A long blonde haired girl in age of 17 is running and screaming, more like she is happy.
"I am Freee! Finally, I am free! Whooo!" The blonde yelled and runned in a fullspeed. Her hair was very, very long she runned across where Sora, Riku, Roxy and Kairi was walking.
"Okey, what is she doing?" Roxy tilted her head to the side, as she watched a random girl ran and shouting out in happiness. Kairi stood by her side and her violet eyes was wide.
"Who was that?" Kairi asked, Roxy shrugged her shoulders. "Like we know that Kairi, we just saw her." Roxy laughed, while she nagged Kairi's side with her elbow.
Aaron wipes his eyes and follows behind, walking slowly.
Riku was quick on his feet with giving orders to his friends. -After her! If we lose her we might lose our objective!
The group started chasing the energetic blonde girl.
-She's quick, Riku, how do we catch her!? Sora looked at Riku while trying to keep his breath,
-I don't know! Pull that long scarf or something!
Sora saw the extremely long material on the ground and threw his keyblade at the middle of it, and then he twisted.
thump -OW!
Could be heard some distance away.
"Ow, Ow, OW!" The blonde girl falled on her face down to the ground. She looked around herself and grabbed a hold of her old frying pan, looking carefully around herself, she felt her heart beat up in her throat.
Kairi, Roxy, Riku and Sora ran up to where the sound come from by the bushes, to find not but only the girl with the long golden hair, all around her. A pair of round green widen eyes, she was barefoot and dressed in a purple dress. The girl was holding a frying pan tight in her both hands, she pointed it up at the teenagers, when they walked closer to her.
"Stay away! Who are you what do you want from me?" She backed away, afraid of who they might be and what they want from her.
"Do you want to steal my hair? Do you want to sell it?" She asked panicked, and pointed the frying pan at them.
"We're truly sorry to scear you, we mean nothing harm!" Kairi apologized and the girl looked at her.
"Why would we steal your hair?" Roxy asked, she was a bit confused over what the unknown girl just said.
"What? So you don't want it?" The blonde looked at her blonde locks, something a little green animal appeared on her shoulder, she looked at it then she let him jump to her palm.
"I think that we can trust them, they seem nice." She smiled, the little green chameleon changed his color to red and made theet with his "paws".
"Oh no, Pascal. Don't be silly." The blonde spoke to the chameleon and had a little chat with him.
