Re: Kingdom Hearts: The Apocalypse
“I figured I’d find you out here”
A boy turned around, brown eyes tinted with amber widening in surprise as a girl walked up behind where he had been sitting. It was a rather cold night and his arms had been wrapped around his legs, black coat draped over him to keep him warm as he stared forlornly out into space. The girl had a brown paper bag in one hand and a plastic bag in the other. Timmy eyed them for a moment before looking back into her eyes. They simply stared at each other for a moment before the girl placed the plastic bag on the roof underneath them and reached into the paper one, throwing a wrapped something at the boy, who caught it. It was warm and Timmy unwrapped it to find.....
“A burger?”
“I figured that if you were up here again then that means you haven’t eaten. You have an irritating habit of not feeding yourself when your depressed you know” the girl remarked, unwrapping a second burger as she spoke. Timmy didn’t respond but gratefully bit into his own burger none the less.
“What do you want Leyla?” he asked after a while, burger finished.
“For you to stop this pointless sulking”
The boy’s eyes narrowed into a glare, brown bleeding into amber as he viciously crumpled up the burger paper into a ball “pointless?”
Leyla was unmoved by this change in demeanor, calmly copying him and putting her paper ball back into the brown bag “Yeah. Pointless. You’ll rip yourself apart”
Timmy snorted “Well i’m sorry, i’ll try to be a little more cheerful from now on. After all what’s there to be sad about? I’ve only lost EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT!!!!!”
He glared up at the girl for a moment before realizing exactly what he just said. Abashed he looked down, amber morphing into chocolate brown once again.
“I’m sorry” he mumbled
Leyla sighed and tossed him a bottle from the plastic bag. Dr. Pepper. “Sitting on the roof, feeling sorry for yourself, not eating...its wasting time.. and its killing you. If you hate your life so badly then do something to change it" she said, taking out her own bottle of soda as she spoke “take your pain and use it to push yourself forward”
Timmy stared at the dark drink in his hand “Shiki might still be alive out there.. when I first got here I was so determined to find her..but the pain..it overwhelmed me"
“Well that's why you have friends" said Leyla “they can help you get past it because they've gone through the same pain as you"
Timmy sipped his soda then smiled at her “thank you"
The smile was returned
“Don't mention it"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timmy looked at his friend in shock, hardly daring to believe that she was actually there. Okay. Not dead or infected. There was a silence between them as they both just stood there, looking at each other.
"You were so set on seeing her a second ago and now all you can do is stare? Gosh. If I hadn't have witnessed that convenient flashback.."
Can it.
Leyla broke the silence with a whisper "Timmy" she said "You made it out? Did any... do you know if there's any other survivors?"
Timmy shook his head, downcast "I've only been here a day, but I haven't ran into anyone from the battle..besides you..but if you made it out then surly...others must have"
"Dreaming a little hard there aren't we?"
Leyla smiled at him and Timmy couldn't help but smile back, the blind worry and desperation he'd been feeling earlier washing away and being replaced by hope and a giddiness he hadn't felt in a long time. Survival was possible. Shiki was out there, waiting for him, she might even be searching for him! He'd been reunited with Nick and now Leyla was back as well. He'd even made a new friend in Kit!
"Your Okay..."
"Yeah" Timmy nodded "I'm even better now, i'm glad you made it out...i'm glad your here. I have so much to tell you.. Nick's here..this is his ship-(he waved a hand towards the ship)- we can travel, we can find a way to stop the heartless, to restore the worlds that they took.."
Determination swirled through him "We can push ourselves forward and get back what we've lost"
"Oh your fired up now aren't you? You've got your cousin, buddy and love interest by your side now. I bet you feel like you can do anything. The worlds are your space oyster huh?"
Mock me all you want. Together...we can do it
"Oh yeah, power of friendship and all that trash. It'll save the worlds just like it saved Twilight Town. If the bond you and your two little friends had wasn't enough what makes you think this will be?"
Just a feeling
"Hmph. This is starting to seem like a bad anime ripoff"
What's the matter? Angry that your nothing but comic relief?
"Just wait. That confidence of yours? That feeling that everything is going to be okay? Enjoy them. Because when your least expecting it...when your guard is down...when you think you've won...hehheheheheh...i'll show you why in this anime your the rouge everyone will hate"
Looks like i'm not the only one here who's confident
"True. But the difference between us? I can back up what I feel"
Before Timmy could reply Nick came down the ramp towards them, in his excitement Timmy grabbed Leyla's hand and pulled her over to him as his cousin walked up.
"Nick! This is Leyla!" he said blithely "She's going to be staying with us!" (he looked at her and whispered "you ARE going to be staying with us aren't you?) then in his normal voice he said "Leyla this is Nick!"
"Nice to meet you" Nick said with a smile "Your welcome to stay with us if you want, the ship is plenty big enough" he got serious again "Timmy last night while you were off shopping...." he then explained that he'd saved a girl from "a horrible assault" and that she too would be staying with them until he could find her family
"That's who I saw sleeping in your bed this morning" Timmy said in understanding "I thought it was you"
"I'm going to head into town and ask around about her. You wanna come or stay here?" Nick asked.
"I'll come" Timmy nodded "I went to check in on Kit this morning when I woke up but she wasn't in bed and it didn't look slept in, so I guess she went into town..so I can look for her while we're in town"
Nick smirked "Worried?"
Timmy half shrugged "I don't like the idea of her wandering around alone with those soilder creeps swarming the town, not to mention that Zack and Gale duo...and that other guy who attacked me with the fireballs....Kit'll kick ass if someone tries anything but anyone can be outnumbered..."
Nick nodded "Then lets get moving"
Timmy looked over at Leyla "We can hook you up with potions and such in town, although if you want you can rest on the ship, there's food and soft beds and everything you'd need to be comfortable...but i'd rather you come with us"
"We're...not the most well liked people on this world..."
"Terrorists" Timmy nodded, sheepish "but its not our fault!! I'll explain on the way"
and so they began to walk.
OOC: hope the flashback turned out okay. I tired my best to keep Leyla in character....and Abs gave me permission to PP Nick. and I hope the last line isn't powerplaying, it just felt like a good way to end the post
