Heyyo. This shall be my first story ever. I understand the title is a little lame. It's the name of a Paramore song that will have a significant role in a later chapter. In the story Kairi, Wakka, Tidus, and Wakka's brother, Chappu start and become a famous band called Paramore while Riku and Sora are away.

Note: I do not own Kingdom Hearts (Otherwise I'd be releasing Final Mix in the US .) or Final Fantasy characters or anything having to do with Warped Tour, Alternative Press and Paramore.. besides some magazines and a shirt and a ticket and a backstage pass to this years Warped Tour.. but that's a different story..

-Takes place right after Sora and Riku go through the door to light-

Enjoy.

"Hmm" Escaped Riku's lips as he looked around the deserted island. He and Sora were soaked since they just had climbed out of the ocean after freefalling into it from the sky. "I was certain there would be someone here to welcome us.. not even Kairi is here.."

"Kairi…" Sora murmured reminiscently.. "Well it's not as if they would've known we were coming."

"Of course they couldn't have." Riku said as his eyes scanned the island for any sign of their friends. "But Sora, someone was always here."

Sora scratched his head and walked over to the dock, leaving his lean, silver-haired friend and left him to look at the island as if anything would change. There, was one random row boat. He turned around to call for Riku, but he was out of sight.

"Riku!" He called. But there was no answer. Then he remembered the secret spot in the cave.

He pushed the long vines out of his way. He had remembered most things about the island but not the vines being so long. As he walked down the caves path he recognized all the drawings Riku, Kairi, and himself had done when they were little. Then a picture of what he had drawn the day before he had left popped into his mind.

He drew himself giving a yellow, star-shaped fruit to Kairi. A Paopu fruit, to be exact. He wondered if Kairi had seen it. When he reached the spot, there Riku stood coolly with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Riku was eyeing the drawing that had just popped into Soras head.

"Look." Riku pointed to where the drawing was. It appeared as if someone had drawn Kairi sharing a Paopu fruit with Sora. Sora's eyes widened, then shortly after they thinned and shot Riku an evil glare.

"That's not funny Riku." Sora said.

"What?" Riku was confused.

"You did it to screw around with me."

"Did what?."

"You know."

"Sora, I'm sure you had no time to get some Paopu leaves to sniff at before you found me. Really. I have no idea what you're talking about. All I did was find and show you the drawing. Did you draw it?"

"Most of it. But I didn't draw her handing a piece back to me. See, that's where you come in."

"You must have sniffed those leaves. I wouldn't do that Sora. I thought you knew that?"

"Yeah. You're right. Sorry. Wait, so then that means…"

Riku shook his head at how dense his best friend could be sometimes. "I guess some things never change.. It's so obvious how she feels about you it's a joke."

Sora looked back to the drawing with his crystal blue eyes in wonder. Excited about the thought that was now fresh in his mind, he declared they go into town.

The trip across the bay to town seemed longer than it had ever been. Maybe it was the anticipation of seeing their friends again, or maybe it was just that they hadn't made the trip for over a year. It was calming. But of course, leave it up to Sora to disturb the peace.

"Mom!" He randomly shrieked.

Riku jumped, nearly causing the boat to flip. "What the hell are you trying to do? You wanna swim to town? You did sniff paopu leaves didn't you?!"

"No. I just remembered. I haven't seen Mom in forever. She must be so worried. That is, if she hasn't given up all hope yet." Sora sighed. "I have to go see her before we do anything. Okay?"

"Sure. I should probably go see my parents too. Knowing them they'll probably more mad that I've been gone for so long than happy to see me. 'Riku, where the fuck have you been? You never took the garbage out.' They'll say. Dumb fucking drunks."

"I'm sure it'll be okay Riku."

"Yeah, sure." He grunted. The teens continued to row and remained silent for the rest of the time in the boat.

When they finally reached town, they walked around ignoring the weird looks and exclamations of "they're back" that they got from some of the people they had known. The boys decided to go check in on their parents and meet back at the Smoothie shop.

Sora walked up the street as a million thoughts ran through his head.

"Maybe mom can tell me where I can find Kairi."

"Will she be happy to see me? Will she be mad at me?"

"Will she believe my story?"

Before he knew it he was on his street. He had been surprised he had even remembered how to get there. He found his house and rang the doorbell. A moment later, he heard the sound of three different types of locks being unlocked from within. "Good old mom. Always was really paranoid" Sora thought as he prepared himself for whatever was to come next.

A pair of eyes similar to his own stared back at him, the staring lasted for about 7 seconds before there was an ear piercing shriek and an oxygen depriving hug. No- more like an oxygen depriving grasp.

His mother pulled away and looked at her son with tears in her eyes.

"S-Sora? Oh my god. It really is you this time. Either that or this is the most vivid, lucid dream I've had yet. No. I can feel you. It's not a dream. You're home. You're home." She continued to ramble on and eventually led him into the house and sat him on the couch.

"Can I get you anything Sora? Anything at all? You name it.

"No, no thanks Mom." He replied somewhat vacantly. This was all happening too fast.

"Okay. I just have one question.. WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!? I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! Up until then Sora had been very thankful she wasn't mad. She was.. quite scary when she was mad.

She sat down on the couch and started again, but calmer. "I-I dreamed that you came home. Every night. So did Kairi. That poor girl." Her eyes started to water and her voice became quieter. "Sora, we all thought you and Riku were dead. But there still was that little glimmer of hope. Maybe that's what made us have those dreams." Sora's mother paused to wipe her eyes and regain composure. "Sora, what happened?"

Sora with his eyes as wide as saucers, and tears ready to flow like waterfalls, felt he could do nothing but tell the truth, as ridiculous as it would probably sound to her. "Mom" He started "you probably won't believe me. And I don't blame you if you don't because it's a pretty wild story. To put it simply, I saved the world.. Er- Worlds."

"Sora. Don't joke like that!" She said snapped at him. "This is serious."

"No. I'm not Mom, it's true. Cause Riku was there, somewhat. Ask him if you want."

"I don't want to ask him. I want the truth from my son."

"Would you like the whole story Mom?"

"Only if it's the truth."

So, he told her about the Organization, Heartless, Nobodies, Keyholes, Other Worlds, and most importantly, the Keyblade.

He ended the everlong story and waited for a response. All she could do was stare at him the way she used to whenever he told a lie.

"Can I see this.. Keyblade?" She asked, unconvinced.

"Sure." He said, and made it appear before him in his hand. His mother jumped a little bit, for she wasn't expecting his story to prove true.

His mother, now convinced said "I… am… so sorry for doubting you." She shook her head in amazement. She walked over to Sora and put her hands on his shoulders.

"I can't. I just can't believe it. My Sora. Saved worlds? She paused and smiled at him. "I am so proud of you." She said, shakily as she embraced him in a hug. "I'm sorry." She said once she let go.

"It's okay. It's like I said before, you probably wouldn't believe me." At that time Sora looked around the living room. He remembered the living room just the way it was. And how he had taken for granted each day by laying in his boxers watching TV. Then he noticed the clock and realized He had to meet Riku.

"Mom, I have to go. I promised Riku I'd meet him back at the Smoothie shop so we could look for Kairi. In fact, you wouldn't happen to know where I could find her, would you?"

"Oh. I can tell you one thing. Two, actually. One, It's good to have you home. And two, you won't find her around here."

"What? Why not?"

"Well, Sora because right about now she should be somewhere in the UK with Tidus, Wakka and Chappu. She's coming home soon though. She's going to be touring on something called the Warped Tour I think is what it's called.."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Warped Tour is for famous bands and whatnot."

"Yeah, Her, Wakka, Tidus, and Chappu started a band a little after you left. I think the name is Paramore. They started the band or, Kairi started the band to "ease the pain" I'm not exactly sure what pain. Maybe the pain of your leaving.. I can get you a magazine that they're on the cover of. They got big pretty fast."

Sora nodded and just stood there. Kairi? In a band? A band on the cover of a magazine?!

"Here you go."

"Oh." He said as he took the magazine from his mother. And there was Kairi, Chappu, Tidus, and Wakka on the cover of Alternative Press. "Thanks mom. But I really have to go. I'll be home later. Could I bring this to show to Riku?"

"Yes. Go ahead. I love you. I'm so glad you're home." She said as she embraced her son in a hug.

"Thanks. I love you too Mom."

When Sora got to the smoothie shop, Riku was standing outside leaned up against the store with his arms crossed. He didn't look too happy.

"Riku? What's up?" Sora asked his friend.

"Nothing. How did it go?" Riku asked.

"Good. At first she didn't believe me, but then I showed her the Keyblade. So.. she does. How did it go for you?" He asked.

"Some woman answered the door. I had no idea who she was. When I tried to ask her if she knew my parents were she started rambling in French, I think is what it was. I realized it was hopeless and I just left."

"Riku- I'm really so-"

"Don't be. I didn't get along with them anyway. It's just now, I have nowhere to go."

"I'm sure my mom would let you stay with us. Actually, I'm positive."

"Thanks. It means a lot." He said. Then he noticed what was in Sora's hands. "What's that?" He said and pointed to the magazine.

"I almost forgot! It's Kairi." He said and handed Riku the magazine" "She's in a famous band with Chappu, Wakka, and Tidus, called Paramore. Can you believe it? My mom said she's in the UK touring right now but is coming back for the Warped Tour."

"Warped Tour, huh? Wow. It says here' they're headlining on the main stage That's big." He exclaimed.

"We should go. And support them. And try to find them." Sora suggested.

"I've always wanted to go to Warped Tour. There are tons of hot rocker chicks." Riku said.

"Yeah." Sora agreed really only thinking about one hot rocker chick named Kairi. "Hey, why don't we go down to FYE and pick up their album?" Sora asked. "You know, just to make sure our friends don't suck."

Riku smirked. "Okay. Good idea."

They got into the store and realized they had no money. Plus, there were two different albums. They came to the conclusion that their friends wouldn't care if they took their music for free. So they just took the albums, since they knew they wouldn't get caught by the stores lazy fat manager, Phil who was nowhere to be seen anyway.

"Sora, Phil's probably watching porn in the back anyway. Remember the fat bastard? Just take it."

"I guess.. but are you positive we won't get caught?" A worried Sora asked.

"Yes. Just take one and I'll take the other." Riku convinced him.

"Fine." He said as he took the CD called "All we know is falling" and Riku took "Riot!"

So they shoved the CDs in their pockets and left for Sora's house without problem.

Kay. I know that was long. I'll be updating a lot. Seeing as how it's summer. Woohooo!
