After defeating Xeonheart the trio, Sora, Kairi, and Riku, are back home enjoying their normal days with a twist. Now they have the power to travel places with their gummi ship, they can go off to any world if they wanted to. But they decided it was time to just take a break. They went back to their normal rituals. Riku and Sora would be competing each other in races and in fighting matches. And Kairi would be judging who was best. Speaking of Kairi, the relationship between Sora and her have pretty much grew since then. As far as Namine and Roxas they even enjoy every second they get when ever the couple are together. Riku's status, is well, single. He's still looking for that special person.
On one sunny day Sora finds a bottle and runs up to Kairi and Riku. "Hey, Kairi, Riku! Look what I found!"
The two surveyed the contents of the glass bottle that contained a message. "Well, are you gonna open it?" Riku asked.
"I am, just give me a sec." Sora stated. He removed the cork from the bottle and pushed it out. Sora then rolled out the message to make it flat in both his hands. In the message it states:
Sorry to ruin all of your vacation. But Maleficent is on the move. She plans to raise havoc in the world called Frozen. Meet at Radiant Garden. Everyone will be waiting for you three.
King Mickey
The trio looked at each other. Showing concern of the new adventure would bring for them. "Don't worry guys. At least this time around we are all together. There shouldn't be anything that would break us apart," Kairi said reassuringly. Riku and Kairi laughed. While Sora looked upset. Dropping the glass bottle, and letting the message take flight to the air, he walked away towards the Secret Place. Riku looked irritated at Sora's tantrum and was about to chase Sora down. However, Kairi stopped me. "Stop Riku, let me handle this. Just get the stuff ready for our trip to Radiant Garden."
Kairi followed after Sora. Sora was looking at the drawing that both him and Kairi had made. There was two paupo fruit that was drawn towards each other. Showing the sign for their love. Sora was afraid of the separation from his loved ones. Especially when all three of them are finally back together once again. Kairi came up to him from the back. She reached for his shoulders. Noticing how tall he had gotten she had to tippy toe to reach his shoulders with her short arms.
"Sora, I know what your thinking. I know your scared. Riku and I didn't mean to joke about it..."Kairi said apologetically.
Sora's heart softened every time Kairi was with him. His tense shoulders relaxed and he held on to Kairi's hands as he turned to face her. Stroking her cheek with his right hand he smiled at her with his sky blue eyes. With everything said and implied that nothing worse can happen as it did before he reached for her lips. They held each other for a brief moment, even though it felt time had stopped just for them. As there lips parted, Kairi became blushed while gasping for air. "I love you Kairi," Sora said breathlessly.
"I love you too!" Kairi smiled. Knowing Sora can easily forget what the next task is going on she reminded him it was time to go.
They left the Secret Place while holding each other's hands. Riku had already parked the gummi ship right near the wooden boats they each had used before in the past. Riku was already in the drivers seat ready to go. Kairi and Sora looked at each other again, laughing at how serious Riku can get when its time to fly the gummi ship.
