Destiny Island

"Are you sure you got that Luna?" Riku asked, not sounding like he has confidence in me. I ignored the guy and picked up the log with ease, putting it over my shoulder.

"Of course I got it Riku. Didn't think I was strong enough?" I answered, slightly teasing my best friend.

"Whatever." He scoffed and proceeded to walk past me with another log on his shoulder. "Let's get this raft done so we can finally travel out of this island."

I couldn't help but to chuckle and walked alongside him. "Well, at least we're almost done with it." A wide grin came across my face. "I can't wait for the four of us to travel together."

"Speaking of which..." Riku said as we approached our makeshift raft. There, I see Sora and Kairi standing there, admiring the raft we've been working hard on.

"WOW!" Sora shouted. "Our raft is almost done!"

"It does look great!" Kairi chimed in.

"Yeah. No thanks to you two." Riku said as the two of us dropped the logs on the sandy beach. "You two are always slacking off together."

"Were you guys secretly sharing a Paopu fruit?" I teased Sora and Kairi. I noticed a blush across Kairi's shy face while Sora looked freaked out.

"L-Luna!" Sora whined. "D-Don't say something embarrassing like that!"

I couldn't help but to let out a laugh. It's very cute to see the two of them act like that. It is extremely obvious that the two care about each other deeply.

"She was only kidding Sora." Riku said with a smirk. "Always can't take a joke huh?" Sora pouted and crossed his arms while Riku, Kairi and I laughed.

The four of us are extremely close since we were kids. We all dreamed of leaving this island and travelling around the world. Heck, we were inspired to be out there ever since we met Kairi. We found out that she's from another world but she doesn't remember exactly where it is she's from. Between the four of us, Riku is the one I'm closest with, hence why I called him my best friend. If anything, I sort of wished that I could share a Paopu fruit with him. I honestly, really care about him almost the same as Kairi's and Sora's feelings towards each other. Sadly, I sometimes think that Riku has deep feelings for Kairi but I can't blame the girl. Kairi is a really kind, caring person and she is really pretty too. I'm just glad to be friends with the three of them. I can't wait for us to start our adventure. It's going to be exciting!

"I wonder what it'll be like..." Sora started speaking. We had spent some time doing some finishing touches on the raft and are taking a short break. "...being in other worlds you know? Like, if we found out where Kairi's from, we can travel to all other worlds and see how everyone else lived their lives."

"That is true. If it wasn't for us meeting Kairi, we probably would've spent the rest of our lives stuck in this dump." Riku said.

"Hey!" I shouted. "This island is not a dump Riku."

"You know what I mean." He retorted, looking at me with a slight smirk. "The idea of travelling would've never crossed our minds."

I let out a heavy sigh and sent a small smile towards him. "Yeah. You're right."

"Hey guys! Look!" Kairi shouted from behind. "I made us some good luck charms for our adventure!" She held up a shell charm with a huge smile across her face. "I remember being told that this charm represents luck and safe travels. So hopefully we will make it to other worlds without any trouble."

"Don't worry about that Kairi." Sora said as he got up and walked a few feet into the ocean water. He was facing towards the horizon and put his fist in the air. "With the four of us together, nothing can go wrong. So let's hurry and start our adventure together. Right!?"

"Our raft is actually complete." I got up from the raft and joined Sora, feeling the cool ocean water washing my feet. "So we can start our journey first thing tomorrow."

"I agree. We should get some rest and pack all of our travel necessities before the big trip." Riku added, joining me by the water and standing next to me.

I could hear Kairi letting out an exciting laugh and ran towards us. "Great! I can't wait for us to go!" She then splashed some water towards Sora and the two started a splash fight.

"Come on guys. We should probably head home since we're done for the day." I said, stopping the two from finishing their splash fight.

"Okay. Let's head back." Kairi said with a bright smile. "By the way, catch!"

Kairi took something out of her pocket and tossed it to Riku. I looked to see what it was and it's the Paopu fruit. Riku and I had a confused look on our faces.

"You know what it does." Sora said with a grin. "Kairi and I already shared ours. It's for the two of you!"

"Huh!?" I could feel my face heating up. "S-Sora!"

"Yeah. Luna and Riku can share the fruit together. That way, their destinies will be intertwined and they'll always be a part of their lives." Kairi said as she clapped her hands together and blinked towards me and Riku.

My face was getting warmer and I shyly looked up towards Riku. I could see his face showing a hint of pink. Could it be that Riku also wanted to share this fruit with me? "Y-You two are being silly!" Riku shouted. He continued to hold onto the fruit and then shoved it in his pocket. I sort of felt a bit disappointed but I was still feeling shy about Sora's and Kairi's joke on us. "Come on Luna. Let's go home." He grabbed my hand and started dragging me away from Sora and Kairi.

Without any complaints, I held onto his hand and followed him back. Before we reached our homes, I noticed Riku was leading me somewhere else. "Hey Riku, where are we going?"

"I want to show you something before we head out tomorrow." He said as he stopped walking and let go of my hand. "There's this hidden cave Sora and I go to all the time. I want to share this place with you too Luna."

I couldn't help but to blush. I was glad to be a part of something special with Riku. "Okay, take me there."

Through some bushes by the mini waterfall, Riku led me in through a small hole that is hidden from the human eye. I was pretty amazed too see that Riku and Sora managed to discover this hole. After entering the cave, we were welcomed with a cool breeze and a stone wall with chalk drawings all over it.

"Woah." I said in astonishment. "This cave is pretty."

"Yeah. It is." Riku said quietly. "Sora and I used to come here to talk about anything."

I gazed at the wall and observed the chalk drawings. I see a drawing of Kairi and Sora. They're facing towards each other and a drawing of each other sharing a Paopu fruit can be seen. I couldn't help but to smile at it. They really are cute together. Too bad their relationship isn't official yet.

"You know, we both agreed that girls weren't allowed in our secret hideout." Riku said, appearing next to me.

"Then why did you want to bring me here then?" I questioned.

"Because..." He started trailing off. I could see that he was starting to act why which was a very odd sight. "I want to share this with you." He pulled out the Paopu fruit from his pocket.

My eyes sparkled at the sight of the fruit and I was overwhelmed with happiness. "You want to share it with me?"

"Yeah. You are my best friend Luna. Just thought it would be obvious to share it with you." He said quietly.

A smile can clearly be seen on my face. "Of course I would love to share the fruit with you." I said, suddenly feeling shy while moving a strand of my lavender hair behind my ear.

With that, the two of us shared the fruit and I continued to observe the inside of this cave. Upon further observation, I noticed a strange door behind Riku. Was that always there? How come I just now noticed it?

"Something wrong Luna?" Riku asked, a bit concerned.

I shook my head and looked at him. "Nothing's wrong. Just admiring the beauty of this cave." I looked back towards the door and noticed that it disappeared. That's odd. Now it's gone.

"We should go home now. Gotta wake up on time or else we won't hear the end of Kairi." Riku said as he started making his way to the exit.

"Okay!" I said as I ran after him. I quickly turned back to find that door appearing once again.


I don't know why, but I was having trouble falling asleep. I kept tossing and turning in bed. It sort of felt like something was bothering me. As I kept trying to force myself to sleep, the image of that mysterious door kept popping into my mind.

"The door to all worlds are opening."

The sound of a mysterious voice startled me that I quickly sat up on my bed and looked around. "W-Whose there?" I didn't see anyone in my room and was starting to feel a bit creeped out. It sounded like someone was whispering in my ear. "The door to all worlds are opening?"

Maybe that voice was talking about that strange door I saw in the cave. I should probably go check it out.

With that, I changed to my casual clothes and quietly made my way towards Riku's and Sora's secret hideout. I couldn't help but to constantly look back each step I take. I was feeling some sort of weird presence behind me but every time I turned around, there was nothing. It was just darkness around me.

Once I was outside of the cave, a chilling feeling caused me to shiver. It was a very unsettling feeling too. For some reason, it felt like something bad is going to happen. I'm not sure why, but I could just feel something strange and dark inside this cave. After taking in a deep breath, I bravely entered the cave and went inside.

"Riku?"

I could see Riku standing idly by the mysterious door I saw earlier. His back was towards me and I could tell he was staring at the door since he didn't respond to me immediately.

"The door is open Luna." He finally spoke.

"W-What?"

He turned around and I could see his facial expression was showing something I've never seen. His eyes seemed empty and I noticed some dark aura emitting around him. It's actually frightening me a bit. "The door to other worlds are finally open."

The darkness was growing more and more around him. I could also sense something strange from him as well. He's not acting like the Riku I know. He's acting different. "What is going on Riku?"

"Join me Luna." He held his hand out towards me. "Don't be afraid of the darkness. Allow it to surround you. The two of us can leave this world together."

"W-What about Kairi and Sora? I can't leave here without them!"

"This door..." Riku spoke, completely ignoring my question. "This door can take us out of here. Just let the darkness in. Will you come with me Luna?"

Now, the darkness was swarming around him even more. I could feel his heart changing too. "I-I'm worried about you Riku." I slowly approached him and held his hand. They were cold through his glove and his eyes were still empty.

"There is nothing to worry about." He replied coldly. "The darkness is our ally. It will be alright."

Suddenly, I saw a silhouette of a man with tannish skin tone, orange eyes and long silver hair appearing over Riku's body. I let out a slight gasp and took a step back. There's someone possessing Riku!

"Ri-"

Before I could say anything, the mysterious door behind Riku opened and a huge gust of wind hit me. I flew back a couple feet and watched as Riku was sucked in through that door. "Riku!" I began running towards the door but the wind suddenly changed direction and I was starting to feel myself getting sucked in as well.

"Aahhh!"

Darkness was all I could see through the door and I feel myself free falling to who knows where. "Riku!?" I tried looking for him but couldn't find him. As I continued to free fall, I could faintly see a ray of light and was suddenly overwhelmed by the darkness.
