[On her way back from slipping a fresh Thank You note underneath Allen Walker's door, Katara sees a shiny blue disk.

Ooooooo. Shiny.

She reaches out to touch it - and is whisked up and away! Her journal tumbles opened as she fights to control it, and she's soon laughing with pure joy. This is so fast! It's awesome!]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! [More laughter. Okay, phasing through things is kind of weird, so she's going to try to steer this manic thing out of the village and - oh no. Rock. ROCK! Why isn't it phasing!!

She tumbles out of the thing, head over heels into the river and starts laughing helplessly. She tries to get back to her feet and falls back in. The journal's landed open safely on the bank, and is recording her attempts to stand up straight.]

Oh man. [Splash.] Wow.

[Later, she throws up a small filter to Riku]

Hey - you doing OK?

...I bet.

[Pause] If you need to talk about it...

I just wish I could've done more.

Done more? What do you mean?

I only hit her once, you know.

...why does that matter? Did you want to have to hit her more? You made it out alive - everyone who fought her stayed safe - isn't that the important part?

She wanted to be stopped, and I barely even helped with that.

All this time, and I'm still not strong enough.

[...]

What do you mean, she wanted to be stopped?

Xion knew what was happening to her for months. She didn't mean to, but after she borrowed Sora's weapon, she starting to drain his memories and his power.

Eventually she knew what would happen and wanted to be stopped, just to put an end to it all.

...I see.

[Sigh.]

But mostly, I'm tired of not being strong enough. Kind of a pain when your friends and plenty of other people can use magic or powerful weapons. Me? I've just got a sword.

[...this again. She doesn't know how to deal with this with people who aren't Sokka.]

A sword can do just as much damage as anything else. You've just got to get close enough. There are always going to be people who are stronger than we are - even in my world, there are people a lot stronger than me, and here? I couldn't even touch Aku. But that's not as important as doing what we can to protect what we care about, and getting out alive. You did that, Riku.

You said yourself that she wanted to be stopped - from what, from hurting her friends, hurting other people? You did that too, because you got out alive. And it doesn't matter how that happened. What matters is that you did it.

[It takes him a good while to respond. At first, he doesn't even know how to respond. Katara raises several good points, but there's so much more to it. He was supposed to have more than that. The Keyblade...]

Heh. Maybe I'm just being selfish. That wouldn't be a first.
