"... That's nuts." Tikara stated, looking up at Miracle. "It's the truth, though!" Miracle said, shaking his head. "The entire thing! Sketchy's history, me being a Nobody... Daze dying..." "Cheer up!" Tikara cheered, glomping Miracle. "Fate's fine, right? You have PLENTY of time to save her!" Tikara pointed at Fate, floating above the table.
"I'm thinking it's my blood that's in her that's allowing her to live this long..." Miracle thought out loud, standing up. "You know, the whole 'healing' thing and junk." "Mehba. Or maybe it's the fact that she refuses to die, because she loves you so much." Tikara said, nuzzling Miracle's head. "And besides that, you're going on an adventure! Be excited!"
"... I don't know when I'm going to be back, or when I'm going to see you, though..." Miracle sighed, looking at Fate. "No worries! You're still coming back!" Tikara was resting on the table next to Fate, smiling. "Besides, The author won't be coming with you! IT'S A VACATION, DANGIT xD" Tikara laughed.
"... I am now officially almost as happy as the day I got Fate." Miracle smiled, holding Fate's hand. "I promise to return, Fate. I won't let you suffer, or anyone else... I owe more to you then you owe me..." Miracle sighed, letting go of Fate's hand. "It's morning, so I had better go see everyone before I leave." Miracle said, exiting the room.
Miracle just left the Doctors building, and he noticed Jack sitting on the fountain. There were flowers in front of him, where Daze's head came off. "... I guess he found out..." Miracle thought, running down to where Jack was at. He was crying, weeping in front of the flowers. Miracle slowly approached, wondering if Jack noticed him.
"... Jack... This is a stupid question, so I shouldn't ask, but... Are you okay?" Miracle asked, sitting next to him. "... Daze... she WAS my daughter..." Jack still cried, but his hands were off his face. "I remember when we asked if you're blood could be put in Fate, so she could live if something bad happened... I remember when those flowers came out of the blood the first time she cut her knee while playing in the graveyard..."
"... I'm sorry, Jack..." Miracle sighed, staring downward. "Don't apologize." Jack said, slowing his tears. "... You did it so I wouldn't. You killed daze, so I wouldn't feel remorse... You saved me from so much suffering... I should be thanking YOU." Jack stood, and helped Miracle up. "She will be given a proper Burial in the graveyard, I PROMISE you that much."
"... Thank you, Jack." Miracle hugged Jack quickly, then let go. "The Author saw that, I KNOW IT." "FINALLY, SOME ACTION!" The Author screamed, jumping out of the flowers. "DUDE! Where the f*** have you been for the last three chapters!?" Miracle screamed, stabbing The Author with a toothbrush. "OTAKON! OTAKON!" The Author pleaded, handing Miracle some Pocky.
"... You have until I finish this Pocky to find a good hiding spot." Miracle stated, chewing open the pack of Pocky. The Author farted past Miracle, disappearing into the sunrise. "... Wow. First bit of humor in this story since chapter eleven." Miracle laughed, handing Jack some Pocky. "No need to thank me. I just didn't want you to go 'OMG, I KILLED MY DAUGHTER, WOMG!' Because, you see, that'd be very STUPID."
"... Thank you, anyway." Jack said, handing Miracle two keychains. "These are the Pumpkin Head and the Holy Pumpkin. I gave these to Sora, and I'm giving these to you." "... Holy Pumpkin?" Miracle asked, staring at the keychain. "... Shut up. Sora named it, not me." Jack said, shaking his head. "... Holy Pumpkin?" Miracle asked again, still staring at the keychain.
"Well, whatever." Miracle said, putting the keychains in his pocket. "How'd you know I'd need these?" "The demonic Mouse thingy told me you'd be leaving today for awhile..." Jack stated, pointing to the graveyard. "I thought you'd need them." "Yeah, so this means YOU get to stick with The Author!" Miracle grinned, chewing on some Pocky. "... Oh, s***. Didn't think that far." Jack thought out loud, panicking.
"Meet you at the graveyard later! Don't leave without me saying goodbye first!" Jack waved, then ran to his house to prepare. "... I have a bad feeling about that..." Miracle thought, scratching his head. He turned around, only to get glomped very quickly. "MIR!" Kitdra screamed, glomping Miracle. "I haven't seen ya in days! Where've you been!?"
"... Talk to Tikara. Seriously." Miracle stated, unable to stand. "NO! I wanna hear it from you!" Kitdra stated, nuzzling Miracle. "... The Author is with Tikara. Tikara has a Chibi-ray." Miracle said, pointing towards the Doctor's house. "... SQUEE!" Kitdra instantly spread her wings, flying towards The Doctor's house.
"... Wow, that went by quickly." Miracle thought, standing up. "... Well, I guess I oughta go see Mickey and Matthew." Miracle ran towards the graveyard, somewhat excited. When he arrived, he saw a small ship, made out of building blocks. "... What the hell is that?" Miracle asked, pointing to the ship.
"It's called a Gummi Ship. It's used for traveling between worlds." Matthew stated, coming out of the ship. "... Other worlds?" Miracle asked, tilting his head. "Yeah, other worlds. Other places besides this one." Mickey said, coming from behind Matthew. "... For some odd reason, that's a lot more believable than a ship made out of gum..." Miracle said, still looking at the ship.
"Gummi. GUMMI. No y. An I. And besides, they're called Gummi Blocks." Matthew said, pushing Miracle into the ship to show him around. "You can use Gummy Blocks to make any ship you want, if you have the right blocks. Not to mention that we designed this ship to have only one handle, to help you with your condition." "It's not a condition, it's a FREAKING ARMLESS ARM." Miracle stated, exiting the ship.
"We're leaving soon?" Miracle asked, turning around. "Just need to prepare some. You know, because you might encounter some Heartless in ships, so we're putting in weapons." Mickey said, bringing out a small cannon. "... O RLY?" Miracle asked, tapping the cannon. "YA RLY!" Mickey replied, pulling back the cannon. "NO WAI!" Matthew gasped, pointing at the spot the cannon was going to be put.
"Well, enough of this." Miracle said, walking towards Spiral Hill. "I'll be hanging out a little farther from here. Tell me when it's ready." Miracle sighed, still walking away. He slowly walked up the hill, sitting at the very top. "... I'm hoping this is exciting..." Miracle sighed again, staring at the Jack-O-Lantern sun. He heard a small squeak from below the hill, so he bent over to see what it was.
"... Hello, who are you?" Miracle asked the small creature he found, his hood hiding his face. The small creature ran behind a tombstone, making it hard for Miracle to get a good look at it. "... Right. That means I'm scary?" Miracle asked, still on Spiral Hill. "... N-no... I just... This place is scary..." The small creature said, still behind the gravestone. "Well, I can promise I won't hurt you. Sure, you don't HAVE to come out, but I at least want you to know you don't have to come near me."
"Yeee... Nu-uh.. N-no" The creature said as it shook her head, a small patch of brown fur sticking out. "... Fine. I'll promise I won't hurt you differently, then." Miracle said, pulling out a knife. He put his hand on the ground, then, with his mouth, slammed the knife into his hand and through the ground, making it impossible to pull the knife out for him.
The creature squeaked loudly and jumped into the air on top of the tombstone, covering her eyes with her paws. "How could-!? Why did-!?" It stuttered, appearing to be a small squirrel-Angry Beaver combination. "Don't worry about me. Just need you to pull the knife out." Miracle asked, his hand moving the knife slightly. "Not much force, it's just too hard for my mouth to grab it and pull it out." The creature gulped slightly, uncovering it's eyes. "I'm... I sorry... I just... Can't."
"Oh, that's no problem, then." Miracle said, sighing. "Someone should come along eventually." "... Why'd you... How can you do that?" The creature asked, looking over Miracle's hand through it's paws. "Long story. Healing blood, lotsa knives, and constant thoughts of friends." Miracle said, smiling. "You here for a reason?" Miracle asked.
"I'm, uh... Well... I don't know..." The creature said, now taking her paws away from her eyes. "... Right. Likely, you'll find out what you're here for." Miracle smiled, staring in the distance. He saw someone coming up, surprisingly. "Yo, is the ship ready?" Miracle called out, unable to stand. "They said you can come down now!" Tikara called back, floating up to Miracle.
"EEEK!" The creature screamed, hiding back behind the tombstone. "ESM! When'd you get here!?" Tikara asked, floating around Esm's hiding place. "I-I don't know! I was in the forest when I suddenly appeared here!" "... How'd that happen?" Miracle asked, staring at Esm. "I said I don't know!" Esm yelled out, popping her head out from behind the tombstone. "Miracle, why is there a knife through your hand?" Tikara asked, poking the knife.
"I was trying to show Esm that I didn't plan on hurting it. Needless to say, it didn't really work." Miracle sighed, moving his hand around slightly. Tikara pulled the knife out, making it disappear in the process. "Well, maybe I could talk to Esm, then." Tikara smiled, floating over to Esm.
"Esm, Miracle is my bestest friend. He's helped me, and I've helped him, and we've done many things together. I can assure you, no matter what, he's not going to hurt you." Tikara told Esm, sounding somewhat serious. "... H-he won't?" Esm asked in a small squeak. "He won't." Tikara answered, lifting Esm in her small arms and carrying her over to Miracle. "Don't worry... I'll take care of you." Miracle said, putting new bandages over his hand.
"...I'm-I'm... A girl..." Esm said, dropping a couple feet from Miracle. "... I think I know how to help Esm out, here." Miracle said, turning to Tikara. "Can you make a copy of the jewel on your forehead?" "Oh, yeah, definitely. :3" Tikara smiled, making a new crystal disappear. Miracle took it, and put it in a small necklace Tikara also made for him.
Miracle gave it to Esm, and backed away. "It's going to be used to summon Tikara, alright? You can call on her by holding that stone." "... Uh... Re... Really?" Esm asked, looking at the stone. "We can use it later, though. For now, I've gotta get to the ship to take off. "Meet me there, Tikara!"
"Alright, Mir!" Tikara called back, waving her stubby arms. Miracle jogged towards the Gummi Ship, grinding to a halt when he arrived. He saw Matthew and Mickey playing Poker on the ground next to the ship. "O RLY?" Matthew asked, staring at Mickey. "YA RLY!" Mickey replied, talking back.
"... I'm wondering if I should even guess..." Miracle thought, looking at the two. "I'm tellin' ya, The Author isn't worth anything!" Matthew said, pointing at The Author. "Who cares!? I betted him, and if I win, I get nothing back! HOW THE HELL IS THAT A BAD THING!?" Mickey asked, also pointing at The Author. "... Butt-secks." The Author said, chewing on a Jumbone.
"... Right, I'm out." Mickey said, taking his cards back. "... Like THAT'S a victory." Matthew sighed, putting the cards away. They both got up and looked at Miracle. "Your Gummi Ship is ready at anytime. Your friends are coming, as well." Matthew said, walking up to Miracle. He handed him a small medallion in the shape of his scarf.
"... What's this for?" Miracle asked, examining the medallion. "It's a tool to call upon me whenever you need me. In other words, to summon me to aid you." Matthew said, walking past Miracle. "You're gonna be traveling alone, but whenever you need help, I'll be there for ya. Trust me." "If I didn't trust you, I would have killed you at the doctor's house back there yesterday." Miracle laughed, putting the medallion in his pocket.
Miracle looked past Matthew, and noticed Maria jogging up to him. "Miracle! Where've you been!?" "... Uh... Ask Tikara." Miracle said, trying to act calm. "I DID ask her, now I'm asking you!" Maria said, reaching into her pocket. "... I've been trapped in the area where Oogie kept those holiday leaders in Oogie's Revenge. That PS2 game." Miracle said, pointing to the town fountain. "Go down there, and for whatever reason, you should be able to reach it."
Maria took out a medallion and handed it to Miracle. It had her smiling face on it, with her hair hanging down. "You failed to mention leaving for a year." Maria said, looking at Miracle. "Well, if you asked Tikara, it wouldn't matter, would it?" Miracle smirked, examining the medallion. "Summon, right?" "Right." Maria turned around, walking towards Matthew.
"That's two, right? Two people to help you on your journey." Matthew said, looking at the gummy ship. "I expect more." Miracle glanced upward, seeing TinTinFin riding on Kitdra. "Dood! The Evil Pie King must have not seen you!" Tin stated, dropping onto Miracle's head. Kitdra landed in front of Miracle glomping him slightly. "Tikara says you're leaving for a year! Is it true?" Kitdra asked, standing back up.
"Yeah, leaving for a year. I've gotta save Fate, right?" Miracle asked, bringing out some medallions. "I got two. I won't be alone." "Make that three." Kitdra said, taking out a medallion. It had a fang on it, what appeared to be hers. "Wow... Where do you guys GET this?" Miracle asked, examining the medallion Kitdra gave him. "Tikara. She made one, too, right?" Kitdra asked, walking towards Matthew and Maria.
"Yeah, but it's for this little thing called Esm." Miracle said, putting the medallion away. "You got one, too, Tin?" "Yup!" tin said, handing Miracle her medallion. It had her hat on it (Expecting more?). "... That's the scary thing. Summoning you would be like cheating." Miracle laughed, putting the medallion away. "CHIBI-RAY KICKS YER BUTT!" Tin said, bringing out her chibi-ray.
"... Dude, where did you get that from, anyways?" Miracle asked, poking the chibi-ray. "... Thasa secret. :3" Tin said, putting the chibi-ray away. "Well, anyways..." Miracle stood straight, looking at everyone. "I promise to return. I have no doubt in my mind about that." "WAIT!" Tikara called, flying fast with Esm in her paws. Esm was screaming like a little sissy, however.
"Yo, Tik." Matthew said, watching Tikara circle Miracle. "MIRRY! Surprise!" Tikara tossed Miracle Esm. "Whoa, whoa..." Miracle put Esm on the ground, looking at Tikara. "You surprised me... What's Esm doing here, anyways?" "I... I want... Please take me with you!" Esm asked, looking up at Miracle. ":0 Dude!" Miracle squatted down to Esm's eye level, surprised she wanted to come with him.
"She's been saying she wants to try and be brave or something :0" Tikara said, patting Esm on the head. "O RLY!?" Miracle asked, looking at Tikara. " "YA RLY!" Tikara pronounced, looking at Miracle. "NO WAI!" Matthew and everyone else called out. For the record, this is the last time we will use this joke. We apologize.
"It's... It's true! I want... I NEED to try and be braver!" Esm said, climbing up Miracle. "... Fine, I don't mind taking you along, but I'm not planning on letting you run off." Miracle said, petting Esm. "Everyone... Thank you." Miracle turned around, heading towards the ship. "WAIT UP!" The Author cried, coming out of the ship.
"DUDE, STOP DOING THAT!" Miracle screamed, whacking The Author upside the head. Esm hid in Miracle's hoodie, of course. "But I got a thingy to help you summon me!" The Author stated, handing Miracle a medallion. "... It's a condom." Miracle said, examining the medallion. "RIGHT! It's my LUCKY condom! No one ever got pregnant when I used it!" The Author said, standing up.
"... You don't even HAVE a girlfriend. Hell, you got your account banned on nightmarebeforechristmas.net because you made the account in the first place!" Miracle stated, tossing the medallion back at The Author. "... Shut up." The author said, putting the medallion away.
"Everyone..." Miracle began, seeing Jack coming in the distance. "Thank you... I promise to return. I promise to save Fate. Then... FINALLY..." Miracle ran into the ship, crying slightly. No one saw him, but Tikara smiled. "Finally, I will never have to say goodbye again!" Miracle raised his fist in the air, calling out to everyone.
They all waved him goodbye, cheering him on. "Alright, Esm, you know how to pilot a ship?" Miracle asked, tapping Esm on the head. "... You mean... We're actually leaving!?" Esm asked, panicking. She started running all over the ship, running faster than Miracle can watch. Miracle caught her, and lifted her up. "You want to turn back?" Miracle asked, sounding somewhat upset.
"... No... I... Want to try..." Esm said, a smile appearing on her face. "Swell! For now, however, you can just watch." Miracle said, turning the ship on. Esm panicked, and started running around again. "OMIGOD THE SHIP IS GOING OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!" "... Somehow, I think this was a BAD idea..." Miracle laughed to himself, lifting the ship off the ground.
He traveled into the stars, starting his year long journey.
The story might never end, at this point.
