AN OVERDUE APOLOGY

Repliku was the first to awaken the next morning. He sat up in the simple yet comfortable bed he had slept in the night before. Yawning and stretching like a cat, he looked out the window that faced the foot of the bed. The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, but he could still make out the garden. It was full of flowers, pink, orange, blue, and gold. Roses, daffodils, and marigolds mostly, but there were other flowers there as well. He thought briefly of Marluxia and wondered if he’d like a garden like that. He pulled on the shirt he had removed the night before and slipped on his boots over his pants, which he had slept in. Then he went into the garden to wait for the others to wake up.
He hadn’t been waiting long when a small group of Heartless appeared near one of the neatly trimmed hedges. He raised his hand to summon his Keyblade. It appeared as faithfully as ever and he charged into battle, determined to protect his newfound friends.
The racket he was making as he battled the Heartless woke Riku, who ran outside to battle the Heartless. He was so intent on lending Repliku a hand that he only managed to put his pants on.
So there was Riku, fighting topless and barefoot against a hoard of Heartless alongside his replica. It didn’t matter. Way to Dawn and Soul Eater each could make quick work of an enemy. Between them both, the battle was over before anyone else could reach them.
“It’s a good thing you’re on our side now,” Riku told Repliku as Sora, Kairi, and Axel joined them. “You’re a formidable fighter.”
“Where’s the King?” Axel asked.
Just then, King Mickey came out to meet them. He was all smiles as Queen Minnie and Daisy joined him. In Daisy’s arms was a bundle of clothing.
“For Repliku,” she explained, handing it to him. “You must be tired of wearing that dreadful outfit.”
“It’ll be nice to wear something more suitable,” Repliku agreed as he ran inside to change his clothing.
“Kairi,” Axel said, taking his wife by the hand. “Come sit with me for a bit. It’ll be our last chance to be together for a while.”
Kairi nodded and followed Axel to one of the carved stone benches that had been set between the topiary bushes.
“Axel,” Kairi said, “I’ll miss you while you’re gone.”
“He’s not going anywhere,” said the King, who had followed them. “I’m sorry, Axel, but your place is here with Kairi.”
“The Heartless…” Axel began.
“Are just as likely to attack here as anywhere,” the King pointed out. “You’ll need to help Donald and Goofy fight them off. For Kairi’s sake.”
“And for the baby’s,” added another voice.
Axel looked up and saw that Yen Sid was standing beside King Mickey.
“Master Yen Sid came to visit me when he sensed your presence, Axel,” the King explained. “I told him about your love for Kairi.
“I was quite surprised when I learned that a Nobody had fallen in love. But then I reviewed your past and I realized that I should not have been.”
“Master Yen Sid,” Axel asked, voicing a concern that had been in his mind ever since the previous morning. “Will my baby have a heart? I mean, I got mine back, but…”
“Yes, Axel,” Yen Sid replied. “The child Kairi bears will have a heart. Now come. It is time for your friends to depart. It would not do for them to leave without having a chance to say goodbye to you.”
Axel stood up, then offered a hand to Kairi who accepted it as she stood. They accompanied Yen Sid and King Mickey back to the group, arriving just as Repliku came out with his new outfit on.
He wore a white vest, split open at the navel, with white pants and grey shoes.
To complete the ensemble, Yen Sid handed him a pair of detached sleeves.
“Wear these,” he said, making it clear that it was not a suggestion. “They will hide your darkness from most Heartless. But be warned, some of the stronger ones will still seek you out.”
“Well, you two,” Sora said to Axel and Kairi. “I guess this is goodbye for now. You will come to the wedding, right?”
“Of course,” Kairi smiled. “Just tell us when to be there.”
“Be sure to take care of Kairi,” Riku told Axel.
“Oh, he will,” said Donald, who had come with Goofy to say goodbye to Sora, Riku, and Repliku. “We’ll make sure of that.”
“Yup, we sure will,” Goofy agreed.
“Don’t you worry,” Axel grinned. “I wouldn’t let anything happen to my family.”
“Well, Repliku,” Riku said. “Let’s go find your soul mate.”
Repliku nodded. “He’s out there. Somewhere.”
