Welcome to the Islands
The sun was setting on Destiny Islands as three friends sat at their favorite spot: the almost horizontal palm tree on a small island. The palms trees around them gently swayed in a light breeze as the fresh smell of the popular paopu fruit filled the air with its sweet scent. The waves from the ocean gently washed over the beach on the small play island that the children of Destiny Islands called their home during the day when they left to play, it was almost an "island house" instead of 'tree house' that children have. Nevertheless, the children of the islands would paddle over on small rowboats everyday to run free without disturbing anyone or worrying their parents. It was a carefree place and no one on Destiny Islands had to ever worry about a thing. Well, no one had to worry until one adventure for a group of three friends would begin at the arrival of a very strange girl.
"Isn't the sunset pretty tonight?" asked a raspberry-haired girl in a white shirt and light purple short-skirt mixture as she took a deep breath of the fresh air. "Yeah," came the response from the two boys. One had brown spikey hair that went out in random chunks wearing a red jumpsuit that had a large zipper with a crown at the end and wide pants, who sat next to her on the tree. The other leaned against the area where the tree had bent over and had layered platinum hair with bright blue eyes. He was sporting blue pants in the same style as the other boy and a yellow sleeveless shirt that gently hugged his top. A few moments of silently watching the sunset past when the girl jumped down from her seat on the tree and pointed out at the sky, excitedly. "Sora! Riku! Look; it's a meteor shower!"
The two looked up to notice that the setting sky was getting full of falling meteors. "It is!" Sora exclaimed, jumping down from his seat to stand next to her. "It's just like the one when you came, Kairi," said Riku as he stared out at the shower with a wondering gaze. "Really?" asked Kairi as she thought back to the time when she had first arrived on the island and met her two very best friends.
flashback
"Hi, what's your name?" a young boy asked the wide-eyed child as she sat in the mayor's chair. "I'm Kairi," she said, a little shy as she leaned back in the large leather recliner. She gazed around the room at the pictures on the wall and breathed in the beauty of the islands that blew in through the open windows. Bright blue skies and warm yellow sunlight spilled into the room along with the breeze from these windows as the boy smiled at her. "I'm Sora!" he said in a friendly voice, "do you want to come and play with me and my friend?"
Kairi turned back to look at Sora and smiled, "sure!" She hopped off the chair and walked around the pine desk. The two walked out and met up with another young boy at the small pier. "It's about time you got here, Sora" he said, holding two oars. "Sorry, Riku" he said "I was talking to Kairi." Sora motioned at the girl next to him as she waved at him with a small smile.
"Hi Kairi…………hey, are you the girl that showed up the night of the meteor shower?" by now, the trio had set sail for the play island on a wooden rowboat. "Mm-hm," she nodded, staring out at the vast blue waters that surround their little ship on all sides, softly rocking it. "Where did you come from?" Sora asked as he dipped his oar into the gentle water.
"I don't know…I don't remember anything that happened before that night."
The two boys stared at her with wide eyes as the young girl took a deep breath of the fresh sea air. "You seriously don't remember?" Riku asked her as they got to the pier and he and Sora tied up the boat.
"Nope, not a thing."
"Man…" Sora said as he and Riku helped her out of the boat and onto the pier, "that must really suck…"
"Maybe you're from another world," Riku mumbled as he turned and started walking off, with Sora not too far behind, towards a group of three other kids. Kairi paused and thought about that possibility for a moment when Sora snapped her out of her trance, yelling "hey Kairi! Come over and meet Tidus, Wakka and Selphie!" Kairi nodded with a smile as she ran over to the group, beginning her new friendships in her new life.

The three watched the meteor shower as it continued to fill the warm colored sky that was dotted with a few pink and purple clouds when what seemed to be a larger meteor fell from the the heavens. Kairi's eyes grew wide as she gently tugged on Sora's sleeve, pointing at the falling object. "Um…should that meteor be that big?" the three stared at the impending object when Riku stood up from his leaning position against the tree, uncrossing his arms and walked a few steps forward.
"That's no meteor…"
Sora and Kairi looked at him in wide-eyed confusion as he looked back over his shoulder to them.
"That's a person…"
Both pairs of eyes grew even wider as they watched the figure plummeting toward the water. "We have to help them!" Sora said. "Let's take one of the boats and paddle out there!" He turned around to notice that Riku had already started running across the wood bridge and jumped off. "Come on," Kairi said as she grabbed Sora's wrist and followed Riku to the boat. They quickly rowed out as the figure finally plummeted into the darkening waters. "Keep an eye out for me!" Riku shouted as he dived in after the person. Quickly swimming down, Riku knew he didn't have much time to look since the person was most likely unconscious and therefore not holding their breath. Looking around, he finally noticed it slowly sinking down into the murky depths of Davy Jone's locker and swam as fast as he could. Grabbing onto their wrist, he noticed that the person was a blonde girl in an orange, v-neck t-shirt and blue shorts with white sneakers. He got a better hold of her as he swam toward the surface, realizing that he was about to be out of breath.
Breaching the surface, he looked around for Kairi and Sora. "Damn, where are they?" he thought as he noticed that the sun had already set, so the sky was beginning to get quite dark, a few stars popping up in random places in the sky. "Riku!" he heard a voice call out behind him. Turning around, he noticed his two friends a few yards away. They rowed up next to him and helped get the girl into the boat, Riku climbing in right after. "Is she okay?" Kairi asked. "I hope so, but she was under the water for quite a bit of time" Riku said as he began to perform CPR.
A moment later the blonde started coughing up all the water that had filled her lungs as a relieved sigh came from all three of them. Light blue eyes opened to see her silver haired savior staring down at her. "Wow… he's really hot… and has really pretty eyes," she thought and slightly blushed when she realized that he was holding her. "Are you okay?" another voice asked, and she turned to look at the brown haired boy. Nodding, she looked at her dimming surroundings and noticed a girl at the bow who was staring at her with a half-quizzical/curious, half-worried look. "We need to get back to shore, it's getting dark," her savior said as the other two both began to propel their rowboat back to the main island. Once they had docked, the blonde looked at the three who had been in the boat. "Wait…who are you guys?"
"I'm Kairi," the girl said with a smile, pointing out each of them, "and that's Sora and Riku!"
"Hajimemashite, Mina-desu."
The other three blinked in confusion, not understanding what the girl had just said. "Oh, gomen nasai…it's very nice to meet you, I'm Mina! " the blonde said with a cheery smile. "Where did you come from? I've never seen a person just fall out of the sky like that!" Sora exclaimed. "Why, I'm from—" Mina stopped mid-sentence and looked down at the ground. "What's wrong?" Riku asked.
"I-I don't know… I don't remember anything that happened to me..." the girl looked at her hands in fear, "all I can remember is my basic information…"
"Which would be?"
The four looked up to notice the mayor standing on the walkway next to the pier. The mayor was an older man in a brown suit with a large statuette and kind gray eyes that matched the color of his lightening hair. Walking down to them, he kindly asked, "did you come with the meteor shower?"
"I don't think—I might have—I don't really know…"
"We saw you falling from the sky during the shower and rowed out to save you," Kairi explained.
"Thank you for that," she said with a smile.
"So what is your information?" asked a curious Riku as he crossed his arms. "We'll deal with that tomorrow, it's dark already" the mayor said for indeed it was obviously nighttime. The moon had risen into the sky, accompanied by hundreds of stars and the soft sound of the waves hitting sand along the beach. "Come with us, Mina!" Kairi said, taking the girl's hand who had been staring to the stars. Snapping back to reality Mina nodded and followed Kairi and the mayor home, leaving the two boys on the pier.
"There's something about her…" Riku mumbled, crossing his arms as they watched the trio walk to the mayor's house. Sora glanced over at his childhood friend and smirked. "You like her!" Riku looked at him with a raised brow.
"What are you talking about?"
"Mina, of course!" Sora grinned, "I bet you'd want to share a paopu fruit with her!" Riku hit his friend on the head and started walking off, "now how would I know that after only five minutes?" Sora shrugged as he rubbed the now sore spot on his head with a goofy smile.
"Dunno, but I'll race yah home!"
