The sun warmed the world... bringing light and comfort with its gentle and warm caress.
As far as they knew, it was the island they were on right now.
They, meaning, Sora, Riku, and Kairi. The three of them lay in the sand, napping... Or at least... TRYING to nap.

"Shut UP, Sora!" Riku muttered from his position, hands behind his head. He glared at his childhood friend. "I told you already, I'm trying to nap!"
Kairi sighed, her hands folded across her stomach. "Sora, if you can't be silent and let us nap, then could you go somewhere else? Maybe play with Wakka and Tidus? Selphie?"
"But I LIKE being with you guys!" The spiky-haired brunette whined. "And besides, doesn't that cloud remind you of a puppy in a bumblebee costume?"

His companions groaned and simultaneously yelled, "BE QUIET!"
And Sora responded, "But there's nothing else to do!" He folded his arms across his chest, muttering, "I don't like being bored. Stupid Riku. Having to ruin everything. Imagination gets you places, you know."

Riku sat up and addressed the red-headed girl next to him, "Stay here. I'll be back in a moment."
And with that, he grabbed Sora by the arm and dragged him all the way to the nearest palm tree, tying the poor spiky-haired boy to it with the coil of rope they always kept in the shed.
"HEY, LEMME GO, RIKU!! THIS ISN'T FAIR!! I'LL BE QUIET! I'LL - MMPH!!"

He didn't get to finish his plead for mercy, because Riku had taken a leaf from the palm tree and used it as he would a handkerchief, tying it around Sora's head so it covered his mouth. Riku smirked and dusted off his hands.
"Not bad." He folded his hands across his chest and repeated, "Not bad," before walking back over to where Kairi was watching, dumbfounded, with a sweatdrop on her head. This wasn't the best solution to their problem, but it worked...
"Riku..." she began.

But he cut her off, saying, "If you'd like, you could take some food to him every now and then. Talk to him if you want to," and lay back down on the sand, preparing himself for the rest he had been trying to get since an hour ago, when they had gotten here.
Sora, meanwhile, struggled against the rope, shouting something indecipherable. It sounded somewhat like, "MIKU!! EMME O!! MPH!!"
Which could be understood to mean, "RIKU!! LEMME GO!! PLEASE!!" by some people.
He wiggled around as much as he could, and in his own way, attempting to get out of his bondage.

"AAYIIII!!" he called. But Kairi was gone, too, probably either:
1) with Selphie
2) with Tidus
3) with Wakka
4) with Selphie, Tidus and Wakka
or
5) getting him food

When in fact, she was actually:
6) Taking a nap in the peace and quiet of the shed.

Poor Sora.

Riku was enjoying the peace and quiet of his own little world. He knew he'd have to deal with the issue of Sora later, but he didn't really mind.

Because this was just another day at the beach.
