Dancing

Sora looked on as Jack and Sally danced in the dimly lit square of Halloween Town. There was no music, but somehow, it wasn't necessary. They turned slow, sweeping circles on the onyx cobblestone, which glowed faintly orange from the string of lanterns along the walls and gates of town. As they continued, he found himself feeling a wistful longing; they just seemed so…happy. Being a bit of a secret, hopeless romantic, himself, he couldn't help but wish to dance with the girl he loved, himself.

"Maybe I never gave her a real present after all," said Sora morosely, thinking of Sally's gift for Jack.

Goofy put his hands on the boy's shoulders in reassurance. "Aw I bet Kairi would like most anything you gave her."

"I know," replied Sora. "That's what made it so hard to decide."

"It's not the gift," remarked Donald, spreading his hands in a way that said his answer was obvious. "It's what's in your heart!" he finished, thumping his own.

"My heart…"

"You bet! Kairi's like Sally!"

"How?" Sora asked, puzzled.

"Well," Goofy chimed in, "as long as she can be with you, what else does she need?"

Sora smiled at the thought and looked at the loving oblivious couple. Halloween Town's finest pair. And suddenly, Kairi was there, in his mind's eye, doing the same little waltz with Sora. He grinned while she giggled, full of mirth. Laughing as if he had not left the islands and they were just having a nice, carefree time. He hadn't realized how much he had truly missed her until that moment.

Without knowing it, Sora was beaming and blushing from his daydreams. With a sheepish little laugh, he gazed at the sky, wondering when he might see Kairi once more.
