A/N: Psst. Pyro, again. If any of you read chapter seven of The Many Worlds of Axel: The Forest, you'll know who I am. Yeah, the stand-in chick that wrote that chapter. I'm baaack~! This is just a booster chapter, to, y'know, get things moving along. =DD


When the pair stepped out of Axel's Corridor of Darkness, Sandfire looked thoroughly disturbed. And stark naked, let's not forget that.

Axel, now standing happily on two legs as a human/Nobody or whatever should, glanced down to his left at Sandfire, who was huddled in fetal position. Her long, pale ginger hair fanned out around her while her tail twitched absently and light green eyes stared blankly at the warm sand in front of her.

The Nobody quickly looked away though, a light pink dusting his face. He shrugged out of his Organization cloak and draped it over the girl, placing a hand on her shoulder, shaking her gently.

Sandfire sat straight up, still looking ahead, and pulled the black coat tighter around her. She peeked up at Axel through thick bangs, cat ears on top of her head swiveling at the slightest sound. "Axel?" she whimpered.

The edges of his lips curled up in a smirk and he nodded. "Yep. This is the real me."

The cat-turned-humanish reached up and ran her fingers through his spiked crimson hair. The Nobody's emerald eyes widened and he pulled away. "You don't look that different as a Twoleg," she mused. Wide, light green eyes looked around, then, and she took in the scenery for the first time.

Sandfire sat up on her knees on the warm sand and watched the clear cerulean ocean waves come in and out, and then turned her eyes to the numerous large trees that dotted the island. Her mouth opened and closed a few times; there were just so many things that she wanted to ask!

Finally after a few minutes, she settled on: "Where are we?"

Axel grinned and stood, looking around also. He had come here once or twice with Xion and Roxas, but he still never got tired of it. It was even better than his home world Radiant Gardens.

"Welcome to Destiny Islands, Sandfire."


E/N: Well, that was surprisingly short. Not even a page long and only three hundred twenty one words, not counting either of my notes or any Ovi-chan might add later on. Ah, fudge. Anyway….

Pyro out!
