[ Though its early morning in Traverse Town, its hard to judge by the eternal night and stars that blanket the sky. Quiet, empty streets and shut-up shops are the only indication of the obscene hour. There are the sound of footsteps echoing across the cobbled streets. but all we can see is the looming shadow of something--- someone-- against the side of building. Whoever this is, she or he has unwittingly turned on their device.

The footsteps get louder and louder, but we still can't see a thing--- ]

Hoeeee!

Let-- let go of me, Kupppoooooo.

[ There are sounds of struggle, notably the voice of a Moogle unwillingly being held captive. The video shakes until the shot jerks suddenly out of view, the device falling to the floor with a clatter. At this angle, we can now see a young girl dressed in a school uniform, squeezing a Moogle tightly to her chest as if it were a stuffed animal. ]

Kupo-san, don't leave me! I'm sure there are ghosts out here, and--- and--

[ The moogle wiggles his way free, bursting out of her arms with a relieved gasp. He's just about to make a run for it before the girl snatches him again. ]

You need to tell me how to get back home!

[ Sakura forces herself to calm down, looking at the creature with a serious expression, though the obvious tears in her eyes betray her. ]

Please.

[Well, well. Fai didn't think he'd come across someone who looked awfully familiar to someone he knew, except much younger looking. He switched on the device, using his most calming smile that he could muster.]

I don't think there are ghost's in Traverse Town. Heartless defiantly, but you only really see ghosts in Halloween Town.

[He made a note to never take her there.]

[ Sakura's green eyes overwhelmed the screen, as she brought the device too close to her face. ]

Are you talking to me? [ She paused. ] Who-- who are you?

I am, through what your holding now.

[He points towards the screen before to himself.]

My name is Fai D. Flourite, but you can call me Fai.

Fai-san...

[ She looks sadly at the screen. ]

Do you- do you know a place called Tomoeda?

I really don't think there are any ghosts in Traverse Town, so you'll be okay if you stay in the First District. The other districts have Heartless in them.

Heartless?

Are they scarier than ghosts?

[Aerith thinks fast, because Heartless are definitely scarier than ghosts, but she doesn't want her to panic more.]

They are frightening, but it's pretty easy to avoid them in Traverse Town. Like I said, if you stick to the First District you'll be fine. And there are plenty of people around to help! You aren't alone.

Mm...

[ She looks apprehensive, casting her eyes downwards before glancing back at the screen. ]

Where is 'Traverse Town?' Is it somewhere it Japan?

[Zuko is visibly concerned. This girl is so young... He can't just ignore her.]

Hey-- don't cry. The moogle won't be able to tell you how to get home, but there aren't any ghosts out there.

Something... feels strange about this place.

[ She wipes away her tears. ]

Who are you?

I'm Zuko.

You can't go home right now, but I promise we're all working on finding a way. Are you gonna be okay there on your own?

Bah, your home is gone and everyone that you knew is dead along with it.

[ The moogle tried to tell her something similar, but her brain... couldn't process it. Her brain still can't. ]

That's not true. I just have to find my way back.

No, it is true. You're just in denial.

... Are you ok?

[Hotaru glances at her communicator when she heard the crying but largely missed the rest of the post. ]

Did you fall?

[ Sakura shakes her head. ]

I didn't fall! I dropped my radio on the ground.

Your radio?

[That was a relief. ]

The moogles should be able to help you fix it, if it broke in the fall.

[For once, Rei looks apologetic and a little sad.]

I'm... sorry. There doesn't seem to be any way for us to get back home right now. Are you going to be okay?

Mm.

[ She nods, wiping away the rest of her tears with her arm. ]

There... has to be a way! If we look hard enough, I'm sure we'll find one!

When I came here, the king of this place managed to pull a world out of darkness. I'm sure we'll be able to go back home in time.

[What was he even watching... he crinkled his nose in disgust. Why would anyone wish to get so chummy with a moogle?]

Ghosts, no. Shadowy creatures with glowing yellow eyes and a penchant for stealing hearts, yes.

[This probably wasn't going to ease the girl's mind..and there were ghosts in Halloween Town.]

St- stealing hearts?!

[She gulps and places a hand against her chest. ]

You don't mean...

It's okay miss, there is nothing there to scare you?

As long as there aren't any ghosts...!

Not in Traverse Town, I haven't seen any that I know of.
