Lights aura: Why are you here if you don't want to read a fan fic.?
Audience: The sign out front said that there was free candy here.
Lights aura: Whoops I lied (locks door and swallows the key).
Audience: Noooo! (begins to run around crazily)
Disclaimer: I shall sing it to you in A-minor. I do not own Kingdom Hearts! (Audience continues to run around insanely.)
"I could stay here all day" Sora muttered to himself as he lay down on the beach. Sora was a fourteen-year-old boy with brown hair that stuck out in different directions and blue eyes. He had lived on Destiny Islands ever since he was born but in two days all of that would change. "I can't believe that we will finally get to see other worlds" He thought to himself as he closed his eyes. Soon he was fast asleep dreaming.
"Sora, Wake up you lazy bum, you're having a nightmare" a voice called from the darkness. Sora frowned. Why did that voice sound so familiar? There was silence for a few seconds. When Sora did not respond, the person yelled at the top of her lungs. "SORA!"
Sora awoke with a start. He rubbed his ears. He was sure that he had gone deaf.
"Sora you are one lazy bum. Did you know that you talk in your sleep?" the speaker sat down next to him. Sora turned to face the speaker. It was none other than Rye, one of his best friends on Destiny Islands. Rye was fourteen years old with purple streaks in her brown wavy hair. Her crystal blue eyes sparkled with excitement and humor. She wore a pair of blue jean shorts and a purple tank top. Two necklaces were wrapped around her neck. One was a choker with amethyst gems and the other was a long chain necklace. The charm at the end of the necklace was in the shape of the sun eclipsing the moon. She continued to stare at him waiting for his response.
"You don't understand this huge black thing tried to swallow me up. I couldn't breath and…" Rye bopped him playfully on the head.
"You were dreaming." She said in a sing songy voice. Sora rolled his eyes. He knew there was no point arguing with Rye once she made up her mind. They stared out at the crystal blue ocean for a few moments enjoying the serenity.
I wonder what lies out there, Rye thought as the sea breeze played with her hair.
"Hey Rye?" Sora asked, snapping Rye out of her daydream, "What was your hometown like? You know where you grew up?"
When Rye was three-years-old, she and her uncle moved to the Destiny Islands and immediately became friends with Sora and Riku, another boy on the island. Since she was so young when she left her home, she could not remember of what it looked like or who her parents were. When she asked her uncle about her past, he would simply say, 'the past is the past. It is of no importance any more'
Rye sighed sadly, "I told you I don't remember."
"Would you ever wish to go back there?"
Rye knitted her brows together as she played with her charm necklace idly.
After the many years he had played with her, Sora knew this action meant she was thinking.
"I like it here," Rye said after a couple of moments, "but it would be nice to see it again... you know?"
Sora nodded as his gaze returned to the sea. "I would like to see it along with any other worlds out there. I want to see them all."
"I'll go with you!" Rye chirped.
"Don't forget me!" said a voice from behind them.
Rye grinned as she tilted her head backwards to see the speaker."We would never forget you Kairi!"
A girl with red hair and blue eyes grinned as she sat beside Sora. Kairi had moved to the islands a few years back from another world and became fast friends with Sora, Rye, and Riku. Like Rye, she had no memory of where she came from.
"So how far are we on the raft?" Sora asked.
"Well we are still gathering the materials. I was looking for you to see what you got but..." Kairi trailed off when she noticed that Rye was poking Sora.
"Okay! Okay!" Sora threw his hands in the air. "I'll try not to fall asleep again!"
A huge grin spread across Rye's face as she patted him on the head "Good boy. For that you get a cookie later on."
"Hmm, looks like I'm the only one working on the raft" said a voice from behind him. They all looked back to find a fifteen-year-old boy with silver hair and blue eyes grinning at them. Tucked under his left arm was a big piece of wood.
"Hey Riku!" they all chimed.
"So you noticed we weren't working." Kairi giggled. "Okay we'll it finish together, I'll race you!" She jumped to her feet.
"What!" Sora and Riku exclaimed.
"Yeah it will be fun!" Rye insisted as she bounced up and down. Sora and Riku sighed as they took their places. They glared at each other. Rye rolled her eyes. I'm amazed they are still friends since they are so competitiveEspecially around...Kairi
Kairi raised her hand in the air. "On your mark... get set" Kairi and Rye looked at each other then ran off giggling.
"Hey you never said go!" Sora yelled as Riku and he chased after them.
It had been a long tiring day but they had succeeded in building their raft. They were now relaxing on a fallen tree on the small island as they watched the sun set.
"So Kairi's and Rye's homes are somewhere out there, right?" Sora asked.
"Could be, we'll never know if we stay here" Riku replied.
Rye listened to the sound of her friends talking as she worked on her Thalassa Shell necklace. Kairi had taught her how to make one earlier that day and now she was determined to make one of her own.
"But how far can a raft take us?" Sora asked.
Rye nodded. Though they had done a really good job on the raft, she wasn't sure how trustworthy it would be if the sea decided to turn on them.
Riku shrugged."Who knows? If we have to, we can think of something else."
"Suppose you got to another world. What would you do there?" Kairi asked.
"I would find the nearest store that sold ice cream and eat the biggest cone that I could find" Rye said with a grin. Kairi and Sora laughed. Riku, on the other hand, was still thinking over Kairi's question.
"Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just..." he choose his next words carefully."I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"
Sora leaned back on the tree. "I don't know."
"Exactly, that's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So let's go."
"You have been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?" Kairi asked.
"Thanks to you. If you hadn't come here, I probably would've never thought of any of this. Kairi, thanks." Riku said, looking her in the eye.
Kairi blushed and looked away "You're welcome." They all fell into silence for a few moments.
"You know," Rye said as she played with her charm necklace, "We still haven't come up with a name for our raft yet."
"How about you pick one. You're good at making up stuff" Sora said.
Rye scrunched her eyebrows as she thought. "How about... Wave Rider."
They all grinned.
"I like it" Sora said.
"Me too" Kairi added.
"Then Wave Rider it is" Riku said with a hint of a smile.
Rye beamed.
After the sun set, they decided to head back to their homes. Rye and Kairi had already left, leaving Sora and Riku alone.
"Hey Sora!" Riku called as he threw something towards him.
"Huh?"Sora caught the object. It was a yellow star-shaped fruit.
"You wanted one didn't you?" Riku asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"A Paopu fruit?" Sora looked at Riku in confusion.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." He grinned at Sora."C'mon, I know you want to try it."
"What are you talking about?" Sora asked.
Riku just laughed as he ran away. Sora looked at the fruit one last time before throwing it away and following Riku.
Little did either of them know, someone had been watching them.
Rye quickly turned and headed home when they started running towards her hiding spot. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop replaying the previous scene over and over again. She knew exactly who Riku was implying. Rye had known for a while that both Riku and Sora liked Kairi a lot.
I don't like Sora. I don't like Sorashe thought as she raced down the beach. She looked back towards the island and caught of glimpse of Sora running down the bridge. Even though she felt depressed, she couldn't help but smile. Well maybe I like him little.
Lights aura: Yeah! That was a looong chappie! Now you have met my O.C. and learned a little bit about her. What adventures are in store for her? Tune in next time for...(glares at audience who is huddled in a corner talking quietly amongst themselves) Why aren't you paying attention to me?
