This story takes place in Destiny Islands… but it doesn't follow the whole plot. It's a mix of Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 7- but it doesn't take place after or before any of the two games, so just assume it's at the beginning, even though they all know one another. So don't worry if you haven't played FFVII- this story only uses the characters, and not the storyline. Actually, this storyline twists a little of the original plot…

And of course, I don't own FFVII or KH. Wish I did!

Chapter 1- Strangers Aboard

"RIKKUUUUU!!! They're here!" Sora jumped gleefully from the top of the Seaside Shack, landing straight behind Riku, who was casually strolling around with thoughts of his own. Sora, with a cute mischievous smile, jumped up and glomped Riku on the back, causing Riku to fall down on one knee.

"Sora! What the heck!?" Riku raised a delicate silver eyebrow at Sora, though he was used to this by now. Sora grinned at him from his shoulder.

Riku sighed, wondering how on earth Sora could have so much energy. His thoughts drifted back to the shimmering blue seas and it's secrets when suddenly Sora yelled (in Riku's ear) "THEY'RE HERE, RIKU! HEY, RIKKKUUU!!!"

Only then had Riku realised that a large winged dragonship had floated in from the sky. The dragonship had the design of an elaborate silver dragon, with glittering red scales. It landed gently into the sea and docked right in front of where Selphie was sitting…

Riku and Sora stared in awe as the mouth of the dragon opened, revealing a wooden door with strange symbol- like structures carved on it. The door swung open, and out stepped…

" ARGHHHH!! What on earth-?" Selphie scuttled away at the figure… or was it? It was 'something', or 'someone' in a 'No Face' costume (Spirited Away)! Sora, hiding behind Riku, giggled uncontrollably behind cupped hands. Riku, playing along, strolled up to 'No Face', and shook his 'hand'. The laughing brunette ran up after Riku and glomped the thing on the back, causing it to fall on Riku at the sudden weight. Sora, who was on top, laughed his head off, and the whole tower began to shake. Soon it became 'The Leaning Tower of Piza" and before you know it, Riku was standing up, leaving No Face to bear the 'burden' of the squirming Sora, who was still laughing into the black mass.

No Face heaved himself onto his feet, and picked up Sora as well in the process, like a piggyback. Sora, who was about to fall off, clinged tenaciously onto the head of the costume, and pulled it off, revealing…

… A yellow spiked head and purple eyes! Sora slipped off the rest of the tall figure, pulling down the rest of the costume with him, revealing a purple suit.

" Good thing I wore some clothes underneath, Sora!" Cloud grinned into the cute little face, pinching the cheeks so that they stretched out…

Sora stuck his tongue out, and licked Cloud's fingers, making Cloud withdraw his fingers in surprise (and disgust).

"You haven't changed at all!" Cloud glanced at the drool lolling around on his fingers. "Remember last time I came…"

Flashback

(Younger Sora) " Cloudy, I wanna piece of cake! Pleeeeease???"

Cloud appears with a piece of cake in his hand, nearing his mouth….

Sora jumps outta nowhere, his mouth clamped over the cake and Cloud's fingers, swallowing the cake whole, before leaving a puddle of drool to drip slowly between Cloud's fingers…

*^*^*^*

Riku strolled up to Cloud, grinning at him with his mesmerising eyes. They were great friends, even after all this time, being so alike (well, in this story, anyway).

Tifa and Yuffie jumped out onto the dock, after Cloud did his ' No Face' act. The five were long time friends, visiting each other from time to time. But this time, they brought along an unexpected passenger…

… A tall, strongly built man with long silver hair was hiding out in the spare bedroom of the spacey dragonship. His motive was unknown, even to himself, but he had orders… from an unknown force.
