Something Aqua really liked about being around Cinderella - and she hated to admit it, even to herself - was that Cinderella didn’t know.

Didn’t know how weak she had been, the way she had failed. Whenever she saw Riku, it made her wince - she had made a mistake, had let the darkness consume her, and it had almost made her kill the boy she had met when he was a child. The one she had sacrificed herself to save.

Cinderella didn’t know that.

She was holding back, and she knew Cinderella probably knew that, but she didn’t ask. Let Aqua tell her at her own pace.

And Aqua knew she needed to - that she couldn’t hide Anti-Aqua forever, not when the darkness still had a place in her own heart, when she still had doubts and fears.

But… it was so much easier to hide.

“Is there something wrong?” Cinderella asked as they sat together, the night sky shining above them.

Despite not getting married to the Prince, Cinderella was still living at the castle, having struck up a friendship with him.

And Aqua usually went there when she wanted to drown out the darkness in her head. Cinderella… made things better.

“I did some stuff,” Aqua admitted, still a bit vague. “And… I wish I hadn’t.”

“You can tell me when you’re ready,” Cinderella said, and it warmed Aqua’s heart. “But do know... what I see inside of you when I look at you is a good person. Even if one who has made mistakes.”

Naminé loved Twilight Town.

A part of her had been fearful to live there - the place she had basically been kept prisoner on by DiZ - but Xion and Roxas had offered a place for her in their home, and Naminé…

After her role on what happened to both of them, the fact that they wanted her around, that they were willing to live with her, it meant so much that negative thoughts of that year flew from Naminé's mind.

And the thing was, even a year later Naminé had never once regretted that decision.

Roxas and the Twilight gang were great, of course, but a lot of that had to do with Xion.

Xion was Twilight Town's protector, in many ways. Roxas had given up fighting now that he didn't have to, but Xion had kept going, being the most powerful person who lived in the world and protecting it.

Which was why Naminé wasn't even scared when she was surrounded by Heartless.

Pence had created a device that alerted Xion when Heartless attacked, which meant Xion had to be on her way.

And she was.

The Heartless barely saw what hit them, the light Xion wielded - a power she had made her own despite coming from others - making short work of them.

"Sorry, am I late?" Xion asked. "Are you hurt?"

Naminé smiled at her. "I'm fine. Thank you."

"Just doing my job," Xion said with a shrug.

"You're my hero, you know?" Naminé couldn't help but say, looking at Xion and trying to show how honest she was when she said it.

Xion looked away, her hand coming up to tangle in her hair, the way it did when she was embarrassed. "Anyone would do that if they could."

"I don't think you realize just how much that isn't true," Naminé said. "You truly don't see yourself the way I do."

"How do you see me? As a hero?"

"That too, of course. But it's more than that. I'm never scared, because I know you'll be there for me when I need you," Naminé said.

"I'll always protect you, with my life," Xion promised, though Naminé didn't need to hear her say that to know it to be true.
