004 ☆ video/action
[It's been a long time in coming. Aqua has devoted most of her time to watching over Ven, but she knows her duties are just as important as her friendship. This can't wait any longer, and she's out of the loop on so much. She can't just sit back and do nothing when other people are suffering, when more worlds are being claimed day after day. She knows Ven would understand.
So, she contacts one of the only people she knows is still around from all that time ago, one who knew all that had happened. Someone who can shed some light on all this, past and present. She sends a private call to King Mickey.]
[Aqua remembered him only as Yen Sid's apprentice. She hadn't even realised he was a king -- much less married to Queen Minnie -- and at first she isn't sure how to go about addressing him. But she remembers Minnie never liked formalities, and Mickey was much the same. So, she tries not to fall into formalities for her address, treating him as she would any old friend.]
Mickey? This is Aqua. I'm very sorry I've been gone for so long, and for not getting in touch sooner. Ven is... He hasn't changed.
[She pans to show Sora's bed, where Ven is still sleeping. Then the camera moves back to her where she sits by the bed.]
I just thought you should know, but that's not why I called. I was hoping I could arrange an audience with you, to speak on all that I've missed. The darkness... The Heartless... Master Xehanort... I need to know everything. I've seen worlds consumed by darkness with my own eyes, I've spoken to people displaced from their homeworlds, and I'm willing to do anything I can to help stop the darkness.
If you could please tell me anything you think I need to know, I'd be very grateful. In exchange, I can tell you what little I've learned since we last met. And, well... It would be nice to see you again, Your Majesty. [She smiles, but it's a smile tinged with sadness and the burden of responsiblity.] Thank you. [And she cuts off the feed.]
[Later, Aqua can be found sitting on the beach on Destiny Islands once more, petting Vaporeon and watching the Pokemon splash in the shallows. Aqua's going to miss the water creature, even if she's only leaving for a little while, so she's saying her goodbyes. Feel free to bother her!]
