dude the thing with Axel was freakin hilarious; i burst out laughing in the middle of Computers 9 and made a complete ass of myself!! lol

[Roxi-chan]

Hey-hey! So, here's the deal. I WAS going to post chapter seventeen first, but I'm having trouble. See, I know what it's going to be about, I have a basic idea about how to get to that point, but I can't translate it into words at the beginning of the chapter. The middle and end I feel will be solid once written, but I've tried to write the beginning of the chapter, and it just doesn't seem to fit. I'm going to give it a few more days. Well, since I have no chapter seventeen to post, I'm posting the Halloween side story. It's only going to be one chapter long, basically, a short story, I suppose, but, yeah, that's what's going on. I hope you enjoy the side story!

Twilight's Destiny; A Side Story
Halloween in Christmas Town


The Pumpkin King strode through the graveyard, treading lightly to be careful not to wake the resting spirits that lay there. Walking up to a tombstone, he gingerly tapped the top, whispering quietly, but cheerfully.
"Come along, Zero. We must not keep Sandy Claws waiting!"

Zero zoom out of his grave, his ghostly tongue hanging out the side of his mouth, waving. Jack gestured to Zero to follow him as he made is way through the rest of the graveyard, to the Hinterland, an area of dense woods with a path leading in. Jack's long and lanky figure could be seen strolling trough the Hinterland, quiet cheerful. In Halloween Town the inhabitants did not know what was going on or what Jack was doing. All they did know was that Jack had not been preparing anything for Halloween that year and it scared them. Finally, Jack strolled up to a tree, a rather odd tree because there was a Christmas Tree painted upon it. The Pumpkin King reached for an ornament and turned it. The Christmas Tree swung open and Jack jumped inside with Zero close behind. Down, down, down he fell, or rather, was push, until he reach the bottom, landing gently. The door swung open, but this time, it was in the shape of a pumpkin. Jack stepped onto Yuletide hill. White, fluffy snow could be seen everywhere, it was even snowing right then. Jack rather liked the white fluffiness of the stuff, but he couldn't let it distract him. He jogged down the side of the hill, Zero beside him, making his way to CandyCane Lane, the path to Santa's, or Sandy's, work shop. Upon entering Christmas Town, it was clear something odd was taking place. It was covered in black, with skeletons hang from doorways, elves dressed in Halloween attire, a large pumpkin in front of Santa's work shop, and all sorts of different things. It actually looked slightly scary. Jack laughed happily.
"All according to plan! The people of Halloween Town will never guess this! A Haunted Christmas Town Halloween!!"

Zero barked happily, agreeing with Jack. He had had fun coming down to Christmas Town everyday, especially since he got to play with one of Santa's 'Little' Helpers. She had been coming around for 2 years now, to help Santa the week before Halloween, then coming to celebrate Halloween in Halloween Town. He liked her transparent friend, too. She was nice, but seemed very depressed. Zero was the only one that could see her anytime. Others could see her, if she let them, but never did. Jack walked up the the Carousel, decked out for Halloween with Headless Horses and other creepy little creature. A young girl of the age of eleven stood in the middle. She had long, silver-blond hair and beautiful sapphire blue eyes. An angry look was on her face as she stomped. She yelled at the Carousel. Her voice wasn't high, but wasn't low either. It was light and lofty, high, but not high.
"You stupid piece of junk! Why won't spin! You're a piece of crap!"

She hit it with a wrench. Then kicked it. Then punched it which sent a sharp pain through her arm.
"Destiny!"

Destiny blinked and looked at Jack.
"Oh, hello, Jack! I was trying to get the damn piece of crap to work! It's always breaking down!"
Destiny wore a short-sleeve shirt, cutting off just half an inch below her shoulder, bright red, with white fluffy lining around her collar. Her collar was low cut. She had red gloves that reached from the joint of her thumb up the just above her elbow. It had the same white fluff around the tops and bottoms of her gloves. Her red skirt came to four inches above her knees, with white fluff lining at the bottom, and a black, buckled belt, hugging her waist in a lop-sided manner. Her boots, black, came up to her knees, lacing up in a criss-cross fashion. To complete her ensemble, she wore a red hat like Santa wore.
"Jack, I have a question."

"Yes, Destiny."

"Well, as you know, Lexi is a bit...Shy. I want her to have fun this Halloween. I think it'll do her good to take over and interacted with people. If I force her to take over my body for a little while, will you and Zero help her out is she needs it?"

"Why, of course, Destiny! Anything for you!"

"Great! Well, you better go see Santa now! He's waiting!"
Destiny giggled, half at the fact Jack was late for a meeting with Santa, and half for the fact Lexia was going to be force to taking control.
"NO."

Lexia huffed, appearing beside the Dainty Destiny.
"I'm not doing it. I'm not meant to be with people. I'm a horrible person!"

"Aw, don't be a sour-puss! C'mon, you know you're not. You just...Made a mistake, that's all. What's done is done. Don't dwell on the past, it makes you bitter. Now, you are going to have fun. I'm ordering you, too! Now here you go! Tehe!~"

Suddenly, she short and dainty Destiny began growing in size, amazing the elves around her. Her hair grew longer in the back, and shrunk back a bit in the front, forming somewhat different layers than what Destiny had. Her silver-blond hair turn black and her sapphire blue eyes turned to midnight blue. Her clothes turned to charcoal black and the white fluff lining turned to a pure black. The girl before the elves was no longer Destiny, but a taller, graceful, beautiful eleven year old girl. Lexia had to admit, though her appearance had change after how she had acted and what she felt in her heart in the past, she still couldn't shake the graceful beautiful she had once claimed many years ago, and though she tried to mask it, it showed brilliantly. Lexi sighed, speaking in a voice similar to Destiny's, but somewhat lower and a bit more depressed.
"Well, she said to have fun...I suppose I should at least try for Destiny..."

Lexi walked into Santa's workshop and stood in the doorway of his living room, where he and Jack stood, talking.
"Yes, yes! The Mayer will be bring them in a few hours. Everything's basically done, so everything should go wonderful! Are you ready to play your part in this, Sandy?"

"Why, yes. I'm glad Destiny talked me into this. Usually, your scheme's don't work out so well, Jack, but I suppose since this is for Halloween, that's why it's worked out."

"Yes, yes! Oh, and Lexia's going to join us! Destiny's going to make her!"

"Oh, really?"

"Yup. That's what she did. Hello, Santa, Jack."
Lexia stared at them, blinking dully. Jack grinned at her.
"Wow! So that's what you look like! I was wondering! I've heard you talking to Destiny before, but I didn't picture you looking so...Dark! You look perfect for Halloween!"

Santa smiled.
"You looked like a lovely child. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. Are you to help with Jack's little Halloween scheme?"
He tilted his head.

"Well, I suppose so. I'm sure that's what Destiny wants..."
Lexia glared at a corner and Santa was sure Destiny was standing there. It was confirmed when Lexia screamed at said corner.
"Surely, there's something else I can do! I don't want to get in front of that many people!"

Destiny voice could be heard by everyone in the room.
"Nope! Nothing! And don't Shirley!"
Destiny giggled at her play on words. The corners of Lexia's mouth lifted.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it, if it'll make you happy..."

"It would make very happy, Lexi."

"Then it's settled..."

***

The people of Halloween town marched down CandyCane Lane, curious as to why Jack asked them to come here, of all places, on Halloween. They made 'oooo' and 'ahhhhhh' sounds as they looked around. It wasn't really scary to them, but, they had to admit, Jack did a wonderful job with with the Town and it's look. Only he could help the elves make it look this scary. So far, they were enjoying this Halloween, but they had seen Jack do better. The reached the center of CandyCane Lane and saw the Carousel spinning slowly, red 'blood' dripping from the headless horse. Suddenly they heard a "Haha!" and saw the Pumpkin King slide down the roof of Santa's workshop. Flying off, he back flipped three times and land onto the Carousel platform, beside the headless horse. Just as soon as he had landed beside it, he lept on to the horse and it jumped off the platform, running around the crowd of people. They gasped, surprised. They hadn't been expecting something so grand to happen in Christmas Town. Jack stopped in front of them.
"Greetings, my fellows, my friends! Welcome to our first Halloween in Christmas Town! Sandy Claws graciously lets us set up here a full week before this day, taking time out making his present making. He said that they would be able to make it up later. This year, I wanted to do something I had never done before and as I was walking through the Hinterlands, I saw the door the Christmas Town! It hit me then! Have Halloween in Christmas Town! No one would expect that! I went to see Sandy right away, but at first he didn't like the idea and said no. But the day after our favorite visitor Destiny came and convinced him otherwise! Now! That The Grand Finale BEGIN!!"

In a blast of dark gray smoke, Jack disappeared. Everyone gasped, including the elves that were watching. Suddenly, a black sleigh could be seen flying in.
"Ha, ha, ha! Happy Halloween everyone!"

Santa smiled happily. He made a lope in the sky and then circled around the Carousel. Suddenly, Lexia backflipped out of the sleigh. She made a few more flipped before landing gracefully. Two daggers materialized into her hands. She had watched Destiny practice this may time during the week, but the daggers were her touch to it, to make it dangerous and scary. She held the daggers at her sides, her arms flared out. She began to dance, swaying back and forth, the daggers coming with centimeters of her body. She danced more rapidly, backflipping four time in a row, using only her feet. She spun in place, her arms flung out at first, but slowly moving inwards until the daggers were under her arms, the left dagger under her right arm and her right dagger under her left arm. She suddenly stood up, threw the daggers into the air and started rapidly front flipping. The crowd quickly move, afraid they would be hit by the daggers. Lexia flipped through the crowd, stopping a few feet past where the back of the crowd had been. Her hands were in the air and the daggers plummeted to the ground. She caught them both at the same time. Lexi turned and bowed. The crowd clapped and cheer wildly. The Mayer of Halloween Town smiled wickedly.
"Wonderful, wonderful! Jack, this was wonderful, especially this girl! Who is she!?"

"I'm a friend of Destiny."
Lexia allowed a small smile to grace her face.

"Ohhhh! Are you that girl no one can see!"

"Yes, but you can see me now!"

"Wonderful, wonderful! Now Jack! We must plan for next year!"

"Why, of course, Mayer, of course!"
The Mayer and Jack wondered off, talking.

Lexia sighed while Destiny giggled, then spoke.
"See, you had fun!"

"Yes, I did...Thank you."

"No problem! I'll always here to give you a kick in the ass when ya need it!"

"Foul mouth..."

"Oh, shut up, you curse, too! Besides, that's not the point! You had fun. You got out. I'm so proud of you. Ya know, the way to let go of what happened is to just have fun and forget about it for a while, just like ya did tonight!"

Lexia laughed.
"You're right and I'll try to do it more often...Now...Can...We go get ice cream...While I'm in control of your body, I might as well try it. You seem to enjoy it!"

"Aw, that's sound's good! C'mon! Let's good to my room! I have a secret stash!"

Well, I hope you enjoyed it! Not much to say, so...FREE THE KITTENS! LOL!

[Merlin326]

Good side story. and nice story in general. quite interesting, i think i finaly understand the truth of that "nobody with a heart" thing. On a side note, probably the most intersting case of multi-personality syndrom i've seen.

[nojerom_14]

dude i so love this chapter to death!!!!!!

[Ban Mido]

This story So makes me want to dress up as Jack skellington for halloween. All I need is the tuxcedo with the vertical strips. And the big bowtie. And to lose just about my entire body weight. and to be dead...

you know something? I'm just gonna stick with being a wizard again this Halloween. Any ways, great fic RC!:thumbup:

Like the new sig by the way.

[Roxi-chan]

^_^
Yay! It's a big hit! WhOoT! I think I've finally figured out how to start chapter seventeen, too!

And, thank you! I like it, too!

[Roxi-chan]

Tehe!~
Chapter Seventeen is here! I had to rework it a few times, but I think it's worked out pretty good. I want to show how Destiny was not all prefect. I want to make sure that she doesn't sound too prefect, ya know? That's no fun, plus this chapter is rather important because of something revealed at the end. You might of figured it out already. ^_~ But some of you might not. Oh, by the way, this chapter is short. Why? I had trouble writing it! It was seriously hard. Before, it wasn't even anything like this. Lots of change. Well, here we go.

Twilight’s Destiny: Chapter Seventeen
The Fateful Meeting

Destiny watched as Lexia walked away. It was quiet. No sound. No anything. Just Destiny and her roaming thoughts. She sighed and instantly all the stress she was under, about her feelings, Damian and the Nobodies, the dreams she had every night, took it’s toll and now that she was alone, truly alone, her mind began to whorl about those thoughts, and more. She was almost always with Lexia and that gave her an excuse not to think about those things. Sharing her body with Lexia was a little more than a complicated existence. It didn’t help that she didn’t like others worrying about her. She always kept her problems to herself. Needless to say, all the things that made Destiny Destiny disappeared. Her bubbly personality, her self-confidence, her almost content smiling, and most importantly her self-belief just went poof, like it was magic. Her always bright eyes seemed to dull with each passing blink. She couldn’t cope so she just brushed her feelings off. She knew it wasn’t healthy to keep everything inside and could actually end up kill her on the inside if she didn’t watch out, but that was just the way she was. It was her self-appointed duty to be happy. It was almost like a job. She began walking. She didn’t know where or why, she just knew she need to walk and think and maybe try and deal with her thoughts and feelings and worries. She was stressed. She knew that. It was making everything worse. ‘Maybe, if I relieve some of that stress…I just dunno…I just can’t think straight…’ She sighed.
“Okay…First things first…Roxas.”

She knew it wasn’t practical putting him first, but Roxas and her feelings for him was the thing bugging her most. She had literally known him for only a few days. How could she be falling for him in such a short time. It shouldn’t be possible since that sort of thing only happened in movies and T.V. shows, but…She knew her situation was different. Roxas was Prince Roxin’s reincarnation and she Princess Destini’s. Destini loved Roxin. Roxin loved Destiny. It would make since that she and Roxas would fall for each other. Perfect since, now that she thought about it, but…She also had an basic idea about Roxin’s and Destini’s fate. How their love ended and it wasn’t pretty. ‘It wasn’t that they fell out of love,’ she reasoned with herself, ‘It’s just…’ She couldn’t go on. Well, she didn’t want the same thing to happen to her or Roxas. In her mind that was a big no-no, but she couldn’t go on with her feelings like they were. She knew how Roxas felt. He knew how she felt. Why not? She pondered over those two single words. So small, but so much impact. She only saw on reason and if it did happen, she’d feel the same either way. Then another reason popped into her head. She shook her head, dismissing it. It wouldn’t matter if they were together or not, either way the way to worked together, couple or not, would change. ‘Plus, we technically haven’t worked together yet…Thing would change before we even know what they were…’ She made her decision. She would tell Roxas how she felt. Completely, with no if’s or but’s attached. That in and of itself made Destiny feel a little better, knowing she had made a decision. She sighed, but suddenly jerked her head to the side, listening closely. She heard foot steps and voices. She waited, invisible to humans and Nobody’s alike, but she was taken but surprise. She saw Roxas round the corner with…Roxas…? He looked like him, but certainly wasn’t. He wore clothes like Roxas wore on the Destiny Islands or in Twilight Town, but black. He was taller, too, by a good five inches, making him roughly six foot. The thing that got her most was that he was transparent. She whispered hoarsely.
“Oh, shi--”

She cut herself short, if she could see him, he could see her and he was looking right at her. He had paused in mid-sentence.
“Uh, oh, right, as I was saying…Roxas…Trust me. Wait. Just wait. Everything will happen in due time. Don’t worry, don’t panic. Don’t freak out over stupid little non-important issues.”

“Right…But…I have question …How can you be the little voice in my head?”
Roxas blinked. He had been wondering this ever since he had been talking to well, he didn’t know his name, for over an hour.

“Well, it’s…Complicated, Roxas…You’ll find out when you’re meant too.”

“Fine, fine…I’m gonna go to bed. My head hurts now…”
Roxas walked slowly away. His look alike stayed, then looked at Destiny.
“Hi there, Destiny!”

“Hi there, right back at ch’ya. Why do I have the feeling I’ve seen you before…And it’s not because you look like Roxas, either…”

He shrugged his shoulders. Destiny stared at him for a few moments before it hit her.
“Oh my God…You’re Roxin…You’re Prince Roxin.”

“How did you know that?”

“Because…Well…I’m…Destini's reincarnation…I’m her, in a way.”

Roxin gasped.
“Duh, duh, duh! I should of seen it! It’s obvious!”
He punched his hand into his fist, but then peered at Destiny queerly.
“But, wait…I’ve seen that Lexia around you, when you’ve talked to Roxas…Just like I’m here, I’m assuming--”

“Roxas’ is your reincarnation.”

“Right…But…It should be Destini…Unless…”
Roxin tried to wrapped his mind around it.
“Lexia…Is my Destini…?”
He looked at Destiny, wide eyed.

She nodded solemnly.
“Yes…But…She’ll kill me if she finds out I’ve told you.”
She sweat dropped a bit.

Twilight's Destiny: Chapter Eighteen
Whoops. Busted.


"Oh..."
Roxin blinked, tilting his head.Things change. The thought rang through his mind for a moment, but he just couldn't under stay why his bright eyed Destini was just so different, why her eyes--
"They're so dull. Her eyes...They use to be so bright, like yours, Destini...They use to shine."

Destiny laughed, smiling.
"You're so stupid, Roxin! Remember, she lost you, silly! Her one true love! But...You know..."
Her smiling face faltered.
"There's something else...Something she won't even tell me, and I've know since I was 8 year old. I get the feeling that...She's punishing herself for it, whatever it is."

Roxin sighed, shaking his head. He had got that feeling as well. Every time he had looked into her eyes, he saw it. Her punishing herself for God only knows what reason. But...If Destiny didn't even know, what could it be?

"Roxi? Listen me, k?"
She smiled brightly.

Roxin blinked. Destini use too call him that. Call him 'Roxi'. She had always laughed at the face he had. He had always said it sounded like a girl's name. He noticed that Destini smiled like his Desi, too. He opened his mouth to speak, but something caught his throat. He simply nodded.

"I've had a theory for a while about why Lexi acts the way she does. I think she did something. What, I'm not sure, but perhaps it has something to do with your death. Actually, I'm almost certain it does. Anyway, you've noticed she's taken the form of her Nobody if she were one, right? Now, as you know, Lexi being a, well, child of Twilight, for lack of a better term, she should be able to change her appearance--"
"I have a question. Are you a child of Twilight as well?"

"Yes, I am. The last, actually. I'm a direct descendant from the Old Kingdom's Royal Line. Mother told me before she died...Well, back to my theory, ne? So, she should be able to change between appearances, back and forth, but she doesn't. What...If she can't? What if she's stuck in that form as a part of her little 'punishment'? Also, notice she uses that named Lexia, not Destini. Trust me, it's not because she's pretending to be in love with Damian. She introduced herself as Lexia. So, what if when you died she...I dunno, did something."

Roxin struggled with his mouth for a moment.
"So, Destini did something after I died and it changed her, or rather transformed her into who she is. Causes her to act the way she does..."

"It's just a theory."
Destiny held Roxin's hand. There was an advantage when both people in a conversation were both transparent.
"But, don't worry, ne? Lexi's coming out of her shell, so, everything will reveal itself soon enough."

"Right. Your right. Focus Roxin. Don't lose sight of your goal."

"And...That would be?"

"For...Desi and I to be together and...And to fade into the Everlasting Realm."

***

"He, he, he..."
Lexia giggled as she sat on top of something, or, rather, someone. She giggled again as she leaned forward, closer, closer, then...

CRASH!

The door to Lexia'' and Damian's room burst open, Axel standing in the doorway.
"Isn't there something else you think about other than--"

"Um, sometimes."
Lexia smirked, then growled.
"What is it?"

"It's Marluxia. Damian sent him to Port Royal. Well, he ran into Riku and Namine there! Well, the short story is, Boss Lady, Marluxia overpowered them with his plant-power, or whatever the hell you wanna call it."

Lexia's mind registered the severity to the situation. It was easy to see how Marluxia won.
Marluxia+Plants+Water=Kicks Major Ass
Which, hence-forth for herself, Destiny, and everyone else it was--
Marluxia+Plants+Water=Kicks Major Ass=SCREWED
She didn't like that thought, but, she couldn't do anything about it, to help them. It would look WAY to obvious as to which side she was one. So, she had to located Destiny. She had to take on...The whole Organization, possibly. She blinked. She had faith in Destiny.

Lexia hopped of the bed.
"Alright. Damian, my dear, you should go with Axel. I'll be there shortly, ne? A change it attire is in order, and the clothes I wish to wear would be in the wash. You know I like to look lovely before I fight."

"Yes, yes, Lexia. Of course. Let's be off, Axel."

Axel nodded as Damian made his way to the door. As Damian threw a Organization rob on, Lexia winked and left the room.

***

"I see."
Destiny smiled. She had listened to Roxin going on 15 minutes. She already knew of the Everlasting Realm.
"Roxin, may I tell you what I believe about the Everlasting Realm?"

He nodded.

"When I was a small child, my mother told about the Everlasting Realm. A beautiful place where those of light went when the died. She said the was always a gentle breeze, the sun always shined, the air was always warm. You, your loved ones, and everyone else of light would live there, happily. That's what I believe."

"Wow...It's so simple, the way she described it, but...It was the best description I've ever heard..."

"Destiny!? Destiny?!"

"It's Lexia!"

"I suppose that is the cue for my leave. Good-bye, Desi-chan."

"Bye..."

Roxin disappeared just as Lexia rounded the corner.
"Destiny, we have problems. Big problems."
