“If you believe, the dream that you wish will come true,” Cinderella said with a smile.

That’s right, if you believe in your dreams, they’ll come true. Of course, you can’t just believe, you have to believe and make an effort to make them come true.

When I came to this world and my body had shrunk, I wondered what would happen to me. But while avoiding the cat, Lucifer, I worked together with a mouse named Jaq to help get a dress ready for Cinderella so she could go to the royal ball. Together, we watched Cinderella’s pumpkin carriage set off for the castle.

“What are your dreams, Ven?” Jaq asked, still staring out at the shining castle.

I wonder... Well, my dream is to become a Keyblade Master alongside Terra and Aqua. It’s not just my dream, it’s all of ours.

“I hope your dream comes true, too.”

“I just need to keep on believing, right?”

As I answered Jaq, Terra and Aqua came to mind. As long as we had faith, it would all be fine. And I had faith in the two of them.

And thus far, I’ve continued believing that, I think.

Since long, looong ago—since before I even awoke, I had long believed. Believed in my dream.
