KTAH: Uh-oh… I got that feeling…
Jack: Hm?
KTAH: It's STORY TIME!
Jack: A Radiata Story Time?
KTAH: Nope… I'm gonna try my hand on another serious KH story…
Jack: Oh, great…
KTAH: Let's pray…
Jack: Yeah…
KTAH: WAIT! I'm not religious!
Jack: Oh…
KTAH: Well, Jack! DISCLAIMER!
Jack: KTAH doesn't own anyone from Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or Disney, but he may have some OCs here and there…
KTAH: GOOD! NOW, ONTO CHAPTER 1!
Chapter 1: Lily & The Fully Bloomed Love
"Master…"
"What is it?"
"We have found the remaining Keyblade Masters…"
"Excellent… show me…"
"Yes, master…" summons a mirror that first shows the image of King Mickey, "The king of Disney Castle…" then it shifts to Riku, "… then this boy who resided within darkness…" and then it shifts to Sora, "… then his friend, a boy who holds a keen sense of light…" and then it shows another boy, a cloaked boy within an alleyway of Hollow Bastion, "… and him."
"That boy… we've seen him before…"
"Yes… I thought we had disposed of him…"
"Somehow he had survived, master…"
"No matter… I can sense his weakness… his powers have drained… we can dispose of him later… for now, go after those two boys and observe them by your own means…"
"Yes, master…" teleports away.
"… the eradication is almost complete…"
"Sora!" Kairi calls from outside of Sora's house. "Sora, wake up you lazy bum!"
"Ugh… h-huh?" Sora opens his eyes and finds himself facing his room, which is littered with his clothes. "Wow… I'm actually back…" it was hard for Sora to believe that he had actually accomplished what he had wanted to do for so long.
"Sora!" he finally heard Kairi's voice calling his name. He poked his head down the window and peered down at his friend, whom was waving her hand side to side and jumping up and down.
"Oh, hey Kairi…"
"Sora! C'mon, bedhead! We're gonna be late for the party!"
"Oh, right… the part—wait, the party?"
"Our "Welcome Back" party! Remember Selphie was telling us about it?"
"Oh, yeah… I-I'll be right down!" Sora replied. Sora jumped out of bed and threw on his black clothes before walking downstairs, saying good morning and bye to his mom, and then walking outside to his giddy friend.
"So, are you ready?" Kairi asked, drawing her hands behind her back and holding her head forward.
"Yup! Uh… where is the party anyway?"
"It's at the Island, Sora!"
"Oh, right…"
"Come on, let's go!"
"Right!"
The two teenagers run for the mini dock near the beach and head to the island on a single boat.
"Ah… it's so good to look at the sea again…" Kairi says, brushing her hair back with her left hand.
"Yeah, it's been a really long time, hasn't it?"
"A really long time…" Kairi dips her hand into the cold ocean water and it slides across her hand.
"But I still never forgot how beautiful it was…" Sora replies, "Not once…"
"Yeah, me neither," Kairi says, lifting her hand out of the water.
"Same here!" someone calls from not too far away from them. They look around and spot Riku in another boat trailing behind them.
"Riku!" Sora calls to him.
"You guys trying to leave me behind? Good thing I have a mother…" Riku says, shrugging his shoulders.
"Oops, sorry Riku!" Kairi apologizes.
"Ah, don't worry about it," Riku says, waving his hand, "Hey Sora…" a look of determination falls on Riku's face.
"Yeah, Riku?"
"Wanna race?"
A look of determination falls onto Sora's face too, "Are you sure about that?"
"Sure as I ever will be!" Riku shouts, pushing the water around him with his oar quickly.
"You're on!" Sora shouts, doing the same.
"This isn't gonna be pretty!" Kairi giggles, holding onto the boat's sides tightly so she doesn't fall off. The two boys race across the sea towards the island fiercely, laughing along the way.
Meanwhile, a girl with slightly green hair in two braids in the back, wearing a white sundress and white sandals walks down a concrete street cheerfully.
Sora's mother is hanging laundry outside of her house, and she spots the unfamiliar girl skipping down the road, "Oh, good morning! Are you new in town?"
The girl stops and looks at her with a sweet look, "Oh, why, yes I am! My name's Lily!"
"Oh, why aren't you a sweet heart? Well, if you'd like to meet new friends, they're all at the island across the sea. Do you know where the boats are?"
"Of course! Thank you, goodbye!" the girl waves as she runs towards the shore.
Sora, Kairi, and Riku arrive at the island shortly after their race across the sea. Sora and Riku are breathing heavily while laughing, laying on the ground.
"You two gotta learn to take it easy!" Kairi tells them, wagging her finger at them.
"Whew! That was the most fun I've had in a long while!" Riku laughs, breathing heavily.
"Yeah!" Sora replies, gaining his breath.
"Come on, guys!" Kairi exclaims, "There gonna start the party any minute now!"
"Oh, right!" Sora and Riku shout, jumping up and running after Kairi to the party. When they arrive, they find Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie already there.
Then Selphie notices them, "Oh, you're all here!" she greets them.
"Hi, Selphie!" Kairi greets her back. "So, are we ready to go?"
"Not just yet! Just a little more to go!"
"Well, let me help then!"
"But Kairi it's your own party!"
"That doesn't matter! Right, Sora, Riku?"
"Uh, yeah!" Sora replies.
"I guess so…" Riku repeats.
The six teenagers finish up the preparations for the party, and they stand back and look upon their work; a big banner that depicts "WELCOME BACK" with a food stand to the right of it and a radio at the other side with a bunch of lights hanging around everywhere and two sofas for them to sit in.
"Wow, it's not that impressive…" Tidus remarks.
Selphie gives him an angry look, "Hey! I think it looks just fine!"
"Alright, calm down, you two!" Wakka yells.
"Well, then, let's get the party started!" Sora shouts. The teenagers all dance and even do karaoke throughout the afternoon and they rest during the evening, eating food when they are hungry. Then, Selphie, Wakka, and Tidus say goodbye and retire to their homes in the evening, whereas Sora, Kairi, and Riku stay at the island and look up at the stars side by side on their backs.
"I'm so stuffed!" Sora complains, rubbing his stomach.
"That's because you ate all of the food, you pig!" Kairi replies, giggling.
"Hey!"
"Haha!" Riku laughs as well.
"You guys are mean!" Sora whines, laughing also. Then, they are overcome with silence and they look up at the sky. Kairi then breaks the silence.
"It's been so long since we've done this together…"
"Yeah…" Sora replies, eyes deeply entranced by the stars.
"Sorry, guys," Riku suddenly gets up. "I gotta go now."
"So soon?" Kairi asks him.
"Y-yeah… I'm getting a little sleepy…"
"Well, ok… goodnight, Riku," the other two say before looking back upon the sky.
"Yeah, see ya."
Riku walks back to the boats. He stops for a moment and looks back at them, and then he smiles before heading back to his home. Along the trail, he meets the same green-haired girl from earlier in the story.
"Oh, hi there. Are you lost?" Riku asks her.
"Oh… um…" she blushes at the sight of him.
"A-are you ok?"
"Y-yeah… um, I'm new in this town and… uh…"
"Where do you live?"
"I-I live by… uh… the river…" the girl replies shyly.
"Want me to walk you home?"
"S-sure…"
"Oh, my name's Riku."
"L-lily…"
"Wow, so you're new, huh?"
"Y-yeah…"
And Riku and Lily discussed herself during their walk. Meanwhile, back with Sora and Kairi…
The two continue to gaze up at the stars in silence. Then, Kairi sits up and looks at the sea again, the stars causing it to glow beautifully.
"The sea is so beautiful…" Kairi says again, letting the wind blow her hair across her face.
Sora sits up next to her and does the same, "Yeah, it sure is…"
"It reminds me of your eyes, Sora…"
"Hm?"
"Whenever I look at the sea, I feel… so happy and I feel that there is peace… and I feel the same whenever I look into your eyes…"
"Maybe 'cause their blue like the sea?" Sora jokes, but his laughs trail off.
"Sora…?"
"Yeah, Kairi?" Sora looks down at Kairi and notices a single tear falling down her cheek.
"I missed you, Sora…" Kairi sobs, falling into his chest and hugging him tightly.
Sora's eyes widen with surprise, but then he hugs her back and comforts her. He looks up into the night sky and says, "I missed you too, Kairi… but everything is ok, now. You, me, and Riku, we aren't going anywhere anytime soon…"
Riku and Lily have arrived at her house. Lily steps forward, and then stops. "T-thanks for walking me home…"
"Hey, it's no problem. Well, goodnight! See ya tomorrow!" Riku says as he runs towards his house. She looks at him with passionate and shiny eyes, which soon turn into fierce eyes.
"Heheh, sweet dreams, Riku…"
