I do some of my best thinking in the car. This is no exeption, as I was listening to da song on my iPod. I luff my iPod.

Flames are amusing, but please refain from posting them. I am not responsible for my action.

Nothing even the slightest bit…um…fluffy in this. Just a sweet short story. There will be more parts to follow. I hope you enjoy, and comment. Constructive criticisms are welcomed!

::Part One

Sora was reclined in the back of the Gummi Ship, having been relieved from the wheel by Donald. His startling blue eyes were closed in thought, and he raked his right hand slowly through his spiked, tousled brown hair. He laced his fingers and folded his arms behind his head. Sora leaned back in his seat and sighed. No Heartless could spoil his day.

It would be nice to visit his old haunts and see Kairi again. He had it planned out for weeks, seeking some time away from the trouble of the worlds. Things had been relatively quiet lately, and he had reasoned with Donald and Goofy that it would be nice to relax a little.

"Sora, look, there's Destiny Islands!" Goofy shook his shoulder, shaking him out of his revere.

"Huh?" Sora opened his eyes blearily, his daydreams evaporating like smoke. He blinked once, twice, and came out of his stupor to see Goofy pointing out the window to a faint outline before them. Donald angled the ship downwards and the form of Destiny Islands appeared before his eyes.

"Alright!" Sora exclaimed, punching the air with his fist. He cuffed Donald soundly on the head and strained forward to better see his home world. Donald protested loudly but Sora wasn't with him anymore.

Sora gazed out of the cockpit, his gaze falling upon some familiar features. The crystal blue waters, the soft white sand, and the houses built along the coast. There, surrounded by the sea, was their island, the paopu tree overlooking the water, and the cave, where he had drawn a picture of Kairi and him so long ago.

"Earth to Sora!" Donald waved at Sora, twisting in the front seat to see him better. "What were you thinking about? I called your name five times already!"

"Wha-?" Sora started, swiveling to face his friend.

"Where do you want to land this thing?" Donald asked him yet again, scowling.

"Um…along the shore I guess. What about up there?" He lunged forward in his seat to better point out an isolated stretch of sand a little whiles away from the town. "No one would find us." Sora added.

Donald pulled away from the path they were taking and steered them to the reclusive beach Sora had pointed out. The Gummi Ship's engine would not be heard from there. Sora was out of the ship the moment it was landed. The landing had stirred up the sand, and Sora fingered a shell that had been unburied. Hadn't Kairi shown him one of these once? He pocketed it with a small grin, and resolved to ask Kairi about it later.
