"A thousand years?!" Rumi exclaimed in a surprised tone as Naminé nodded and began to explain a calm tone. "You see... we kind of already arrived in Equestria but it was set a thousand years before the show... of course, it didn't happen for real... yet...” Naminé trailed off.

Rumi interrupted her with a small confident grin that embraced his lips "Well, I'm definitely not waiting a thousand years to see if we go well together in bed. We'll find a place to live in the past and then we'll make love. How does that sound?" He questioned

Namine nodded once again. "Of course. But... umm... should I spoil the truth that we're stone statues currently?"

All this made Rumi’s eyes go into a shocked state. "WHAT?!" He exclaimed as Namine smiled sheepishly.

“Spoilers?” She asked with a shrug as Rumi sighed heavily and shook his head.

"So...what kind of state are our statues in?" Rumi wondered with an exasperated look.

"Oh... nearly cracked... I know Luna's gonna be overjoyed to see you again." Namine commented with a slight smile.

"Will I remember what happened to get me into stone after I'm freed?" Rumi asked with a curious expression as Namine nodded with a reply. "Yep... same with me. We both will remember what happened.”

Rumi sighed in relief before realizing something about that ‘overjoy with Luna’ sentence. "I know Princess Luna though - why would she be overjoyed to see me again?" He posed the question

That question made Namine grin in amusement. “Well… she’s your mother.”

"WHAT?!" Rumi exclaimed in a shocked tone. "Then how'd we end up in stone if I’m Luna’s kid?! Wait, am I her biological son!? What the hell’s going on!?"

So many truths and revelations coming out right now!

Namine raised her hands to calm him down. “Okay, Rumi -1. Not your actual birth mom - more like an adoptive parent... and 2. Basically Discord was supposed to be stone... yet sadly, we got hit accidentally cause Celestia can't aim for horse poop. Luna's heart broke when you turned into a stone statue. She cried a lot and this was one of the reasons she became Nightmare Moon."

“I see… damn, I wonder why I didn’t get to experience this back a thousand years ago.” Rumi crossed his arms in regard to that whole revelation.

Namine nodded. "I know it's a lot to take... but I've been alone a lot... and I really wanted another adventure - romance, the high-life, everything... Please, Rumi... Everything that I have I'll offer... Please stay with me. That’s all I ask." She pleaded yet Rumi had made his mind already.

"Namine, I agreed to try out this boyfriend/girlfriend thing with you. I intend to keep my word." Rumi promised as a true gentleman would.

Namine thanked him with a hug. "I'm grateful. Now let's try out this Dive to the Heart bit. Also, unlike an ordinary one - you can pick new abilities, traits and such." Namine explained.

"Oh, cool!" Rumi exclaimed in an excited tone before he posed two questions. "What are my choices? What will I learn in this Dive?"

"Hmmm... in addition to strength, skill and magic... you may use light and darkness as well. As Luna’s son – you already are accustomed to some dark-based abilities." Namine explained.

“Interesting, what are my choices?” Rumi wondered.

“1. You can turn into any type of Heartless and move around quickly – useful during a fight; 2. You may have an opportunity to enter the Dream Realm and assist Luna with her duties; 3. Dark-styled spells and such. Anything other than that and you have it.” Namine explained.

“Even dark-styled Keyblades?” Rumi wondered.

Namine hugged herself in her soon-to-be-boyfriend and giggled. “Whatever you want it, I’ll deliver it sweetie – anything for my King.”

Rumi smirked and hugged her tight. “I love that flirty attitude of yours, Namine… so sensational. You enjoy using the darkness a lot, huh?” He asked.

Namine giggled. “Guilty as charged. I enjoy it… it’s so breathtaking and free.” She admitted with a naughty expression.

“I’m gonna enjoy being in a relationship with you, Miss Naughty Witch. Hmm, I don’t suppose you’re willing to deliver me some armor?” He asked.

Namine looked at him with a hopeful look. “Please tell me it’s Dark Mode. I’ve always loved that form.” She admitted.

“A custom one… but yes. A bodysuit fetish?” Rumi wondered.

Namine shrugged but kept a grin on her lips. “Again, guilty. But yeah, they’re so hot.” She admitted.

“You ever been told that you act so horny?” Rumi asked with a grin of his own.

Namine laughed gently. “Guilty as charged! Even before we were stoned, it was a couple thousand years since I got laid!" Namine exclaimed.

"You've got laid before?" Rumi asked incredulously – he suspected it was just with boys but also girls too.

"Like I said, a long, long time ago," Namine shrugged yet felt a little nostalgic about the old life she had.

"It's not just boys though... girls too." Rumi suggested and he wasn’t disappointed in the answer.

"Well, yeah… but you try a little of everything when you're way too old and way too lonely for way too long." Namine said with an amused expression.

“True to that… before we continue, how about that Dive? Mind if you act as the guiding voice?” He requested.

Namine nodded as she snapped her fingers and disappeared. “Anything for you, my King.”

The dive began just like in the games as Rumi had to pick either the sword, shield or staff – they were also known as the dream weapons. One detailed strength, another was magic and the third was speed.

"One thing I've noticed is that there's more to picking an ability than meets the eye." Rumi commented.

‘Yes, none of these choices should just be taken at face value.’

"Ah, that's my theory confirmed. Well, I do like the challenge... so I'll accept the rod and give up the shield." Rumi made his decision.

‘Is that your final answer?’

"Yes. It is." Rumi nodded as the weapons had disappeared completely.

With the choice made, the platform vanished and Rumi was taken to a second platform.

‘Alright, my King... let's see if you can fight.’

Shadows popped all over the platform as Rumi's staff popped back in his hands. He was ready to fight.

Since the Shadows were classified as the weakest opponent in Kingdom Hearts, Rumi didn’t have any problems at all and quickly eliminated them.

‘I'll spare you the 'swallowed by darkness' bit and just move you to the next platform.’

"Seems fair." Rumi commented as he was teleported onto the next platform.

‘Quick warning though, love - I'm going to put you through a mock battle. I won’t say who your opponent will be. I wanna see how well you can handle the darkness.’

"I'm ready for it!" Rumi said and prepared his rod.

In the distance, Namine couldn't help but giggle lightly – if anything, it was amusing to see her King acting so… bold and confident.

Once on the next platform, Namine was conjuring a data projection in regard to the mock battle… the opponent was still being prepared.

‘And now for a little... mock battle, my King.’

On the next platform, Namine conjured a data project of Aqua whose eyes were golden and instead of the Land of Departure symbol on her pink X-strap, there was the Recusant’s Sigil.

"Any particular reason you chose Aqua?" Rumi asked as he got ready for battle with the rod in his hands.

‘Her skills in magic make her a dangerous opponent. Plus she also has an aggressive streak inside of her - this Aqua stayed behind to train with Xehanort... and, oh dear.’

"Oh dear?What’s wrong exactly?" Rumi wondered with a confused expression.

‘You can imagine how much Xehanort corrupted her - loyal to darkness, her spawning Ansem and Xemnas... it was awful.’

"Yeah, it probably was. I almost feel bad that I'm going to beat this data version into the ground" Rumi said with a small smirk as he concentrated and channeled his darkness.

‘Why do I feel like I'm going to enjoy this?’

"Probably because you will." Rumi remarked as his eyes went from blue to golden in an instant.

‘Yeah, I will. Battle to your delight, my King. But don't rely on darkness too much. I just found you and I still wish to get to know you better without losing you.’

"I'll keep that in mind, my Queen." Rumi replied and the battle began.

Dark!Aqua was definitely more tough and strong than the regular one. Xehanort definitely taught her the dirty moves and skills in darkness. One such was using dark-styled spells and teleporting all around the glass floor.

With Namine's warning in mind, Rumi refrained from leaning on the Darkness too much. It probably wouldn't have been very helpful anyway, with Dark!Aqua's own command of Darkness. Yet it wasn’t a problem for the former cosplayer as Sora – he continued to fight valiantly while Namine watched as her affection grew. Her King was impressing her more and more.

He fought with ferocious determination and only used a small amount of Darkness in the battle, even if his inexperience was clear to see. It was very endearing to Namine to see him struggle with all his might against the opponent she had created for him.

Eventually, Rumi overpowered her and Dark!Aqua accepted defeat before Namine dismissed the projection. She couldn’t help but clap in the distance along with her heart beating heavily.

‘Well done, my King! To think you could stand your own against one of the most powerful Keyblade Masters… amazing.’

Rumi sighed, “Do you mean to tell me that was a full strength Aqua?” He asked skeptically.

‘It wasn’t but I did make her as tough as I felt you could reasonably handle’

It may not have been the most powerful version of Aqua, but he was still proud of himself, "Thanks! It was a toughie though!" He meant what he said – Dark!Aqua was definitely a tough opponent to handle.

Calming down quickly, he dismissed the darkness along with his eyes regaining their former blue color.

‘ Alright, we're almost done with your dive. Just the personality assessment for your Keyblade to know you better and the boss.’

"Lay it on me, Namine! I'm ready!" Rumi declared confidently as Namine guided her King to the next location and created a familiar face to ask him the three questions in regard to the personality assessment.

"Kairi?" Rumi wondered with a curious expression- It was Kairi in her Kingdom Hearts III appearance.

"What are you most afraid of?" Kairi asked the first question.

Rumi thought about it. "Being... alone." He answered truthfully.

"Is being alone really so bad?" Kairi wondered with a slight grin.

Rumi shrugged but truth be told - he was often a shut in and didn't have a lot of friends.

"What do you want out of life?" Kairi asked the second question

"Adventure. To explore new places... with my girlfriend." Rumi answered.

"To see the great unknown with your loved one, huh?" Kairi said in a slight amusing tone.

Rumi nodded. It was a boring life back on Earth. Now he had a gal and he could explore new places. As Sora with Kingdom Key.

"What's most important to you?" Kairi posed her final question.

"Hmmm... good question.” Rumi went silent as he tried to think of a good answer and he did after a couple of seconds. “My identity.”

"Who you are as a person, growing and changing - but still you." Kairi noted and then faded away.

Rumi nodded while not being freaked out by Kairi disappearing. "That would be me." He agreed.

‘You are afraid of isolation. You want to see new places with your girlfriend. Your sense of self is most important to you.Are you sure?’

"Yeah, I'm sure. This is who I am." Rumi nodded with a serious look on his face.

‘Very well, my King. Your Keyblade should be satisfied with this, so now it is time for the boss.’

"Dark Side, here we go!" Rumi declared and found himself on his dive platform just as his shadow came to life and mutated into the Dark Side Heartless.

‘Remember that the closer you get to the light, the bigger your shadow becomes. But don’t be afraid, my King…’

Rumi got into position and prepared to fight his Dark Side shadow. He knew where his weak spot was so it shouldn't be a problem… this was going to be easy.

Namine watched afar and smirked as her King thought in terms of the video game. He was shocked when the Dark Side lashed out with a foot, instead of any of the set moves from the games. The Heartless were actual creatures, not simply things of preprogrammed coding, after all.

Nobody said it would be easy...yet it wasn't going to be a problem for her King. The Dark Side was a very easy boss to defeat… and possibly the weakest one of the Heartless that still qualified as a ‘boss’.

Sure enough, even with the Dark Side behaving erratically and actually learning somewhat as the fight progressed, Rumi emerged victorious.

"Phew! That was brilliant!" Rumi declared after eliminating the Dark Side and all of its offspring Shadows.

‘I'm glad you enjoyed it, My King. With this, your Dive is officially finished.’

"Compliments to the lady who guided me." Rumi bowed in respect to Namine conducting the test.

‘Why thank you, good sir. It was a pleasure to guide you.’

"So, I take it we still have time?" Rumi wondered as Namine reappeared next to him.

"We do," Namine confirmed.

"Mind sharing what happened after you were the only one left? If that's alright with you." Rumi told her as they sat down and hugged themselves in each other’s body.

"There's not really much to say. After everyone else had died, either of old age or of some other cause, I bounced around the worlds for a couple thousand years, indulging every hedonistic impulse I had. Then I came across the ability to leave my home dimension. After that, I slowly started making plans to 'make' a new Sora. Took me almost 4,000 years to find all the bits and pieces I needed, but I think it was well worth it." Namine revealed with a small smile.

Rumi was surprised by the plan and nodded slowly. "You were pretty alone, huh?" He posed the question as Namine nodded but her smile was gone.

"I was. I had a few lovers, but they were always just physical meetups – in other words, they were completely empty. I admit that part of it was my fault. I just couldn't bring myself to care about others when it hurt so much to watch them pass me by with time." Namine sighed heavily after admitting that.

"You have my sympathies." Rumi told her with a small frown.

Namine nodded with a sad smile. "A real gentleman. Though I wish the rest were like that... being the guardian of Kingdom Hearts didn't help. Don't get me started on my second role as the Chosen One..." She shivered a bit and remembered that painful era – one that she wasn’t proud of being a part of. Mainly because it brought a lot of painful memories.

"You were a Chosen One?" Rumi asked in surprise.

"More like... I became the new Sora." Namine admitted with a frown on her face.

"Now you've gone and made me curious. Do you mind telling me more?" Rumi asked with a slight look of interest on his face.

Namine nodded. "Of course. As you know, Sora's death came as a shocker for us all... especially me. The Keyblade fell into my hands yet I wasn't cut out for that role." She explained yet Rumi made a confused expression on his face.

"Wait, it passed to you after he died? How did that happen?" Rumi asked.

"Technically I am both Sora and Kairi's Nobody. Thus when he passed, his Keyblade became mine and I was forced to fill the role of Sora even though I had never so much as held a Keyblade before," Namine explained with a soft sigh.

"Ah... then what happened?" Rumi wondered.

"Luxu happened -for whatever insane reason, everyone rallied around me as 'Sora's Successor'. We won, in the end - but it was horribly messy. We lost a lot of people..." Namine sighed heavily and felt nothing but utter contempt towards the ancient Keyblade Master.

That day she had lost not only a couple of close friends… but also her Somebody/Mother/Undefined Kairi. A tragic end to a tragic tale. But that was all in the past.

"Yikes." Rumi cringed a bit - it must have been a bad time for her and her friends.

"So, yeah…one gigantic, huge fuckup after another until I just left and never looked back." Namine trailed off.

"I'm sorry. Must have been a hard time for you." Rumi apologized sincerely.

"It was, but I've put it behind me, mostly. Thousands of years can really put things in perspective, as you'll hopefully find out. The more we spend time together, the more you’ll see that while it has its downsides it can be very nursing." Namine assured him as Rumi nodded with a small smile.

"With you by my side, definitely." He replied back and kissed the top of her head.

Namine pecked his cheek in response to that kiss. "And I will always be by your side, as your Queen, my King."

"Say, any luck trying to contact at least Repliku?" Rumi wondered – Riku Replica was one of the few people to truly have come close to winning Namine’s heart... yet nothing unfortunately.

"There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Repliku gave himself up to take down his past self, destroying both of them." Namine replied with some sadness.

"No luck huh... Aww, that sucks." Rumi shook his head while apologizing about posing the question in the first place.

Namine nodded, “But for now I'll please you, my King. I do know a little bit about you." She told him.

"So, what do you want to do now? I imagine we've got a while before the stone breaks and we end up being free for good." Rumi noted.

"Hmm... good question." Namine replied but didn't have a clue on what to do. Either make sweet love or talk about something else.

"Oh! You know a lot about the KH-verse... Do you know of the ships? People ship you like crazy." Rumi admitted.

"Oh boy, are you going to ask me which ships my favorite and which ones creep me out?" Namine asked with a teasing grin.

"Maybe, maybe both." Rumi wanted to know – it would be a learning experience and plus he would be aware of how she felt towards the ‘ships with Namine’ in Kingdom Hearts.

"Well, the thing is, by the time I learned about the greater multiverse, I was already a couple of thousand years old, so I can't say any of them really creeped me out. Except maybe Xehanort, because fuck that guy. As for favorites... Sora, Kairi or Xion" Namine decided.

"A true bisexual." Rumi commented.

"Yeah. I wish I had a recording of the first time I tried going on a date with a girl. I was only 150 years old at the time and I was so nervous! It had mostly been out of curiosity, but when she took me to her room, well... this and that happened and I realized I was Bi," Namine giggled as she remembered that day so well. It was one of the few bright spots of that time and Namine treasured the memory.

"You ain't the only one." Rumi admitted.

"I know. You're Bi as well." Namine admitted the truth.

"You knew?" Rumi asked in a surprised tone.

"Yep. I told you - I'm aware of several things about you. You are a lone wolf, a very quiet individual with trust issues. Paradoxically, you're afraid of being alone... you want someone to love you." Namine explained.

"Why, it almost sounds like you've been stalking me, my Queen." Rumi chuckled in an amused tone.

Namine giggled. "Is it wrong to stalk my future King?"

"Out of curiosity, how long did you stalk me? What made you decide I was the one worthy of being your Sora?" Rumi asked.

"Your heart. I've been the same... though I wanted to be loved and have friends, I never had the chance. As for your first question, hmm... back when you were 14." Namine admitted.

"Three years? That's dedication, my Yandere Queen." Rumi petted her head.

Namine purred happily. "Always the best... looks like our time has arrived for us to break out of our stony prison."

"A thousand years have already passed?" Rumi asked incredulously – all of that talking really makes time fly forward.

"Yep. Before head onward, I feel like a change of outfit is in order for me. Rumi, close your eyes please. I don't wish to spoil anything yet." Namine pleaded.

Rumi obliged, closing his eyes while Namine grinned and snapped her fingers. In no time at all, she changed her clothes and hairdo.

"And... done! Open them." Namine told her love interest.

Rumi did just that and immediately felt his jaw dropped - In front him was a new and improved Namine. Her hairstyle was done in a ponytail while a star necklace rested on her neck. She wore a redesigned version of Kairi's KH3 style but with a blue color scheme. Her sandals were the same. Rumi was astonished. She… she was so beautiful and so mesmerizing.

"You're gorgeous, my Queen." Rumi breathed as a massive blush popped onto his cheeks.

Namine giggled at how silly her King acted and hugged herself in him. "Rumi, I feel so happy to hear that."

"Well, it's time for us to say hello to the world again!" Rumi declared with a grin.

"Yep! This time we won't be needing tedious 'light blinding' and whatnot. Instead we'll simply use the Keyblade to get across. Note that I've given up that ability but I'll still be able to heal you in battle. My skills in magic and healing are very high." Namine assured her boyfriend.

"Alright, I'm ready when you are!" Rumi said as he summoned the Kingdom Key and aimed it at nowhere.

"Same, my King! Let's go and conquer. May your heart be your guiding key." Namine quoted the phrase to leave the prison or dream realm.

“May your Heart be your Guiding Key.” Rumi echoed and soon the tip of blade lit up and conjured the exit.

With that, their world vanished as the pair began to wake up from their 1000 year-long slumber.
