Destiny Islands: Play Island

Sora rose slowly, ache settling all to comfortably on his bones as he stood in the lapping waves of his island homeworld. In the excitement of seeing his friends and Kairi, he had forgotten that he and Riku had just fought and beat Xemnas. He turned to see his friend wince in pain as he to rose from the water, grasping the wound on his side where Xemnas had slashed him with his Ethereal Blades."You okay Riku?" Kairi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," he answered dismissively, waving the question away with his free hand, "It's just a flesh wound anyway."

"That is not a flesh wound Riku," Mickey interjected, concern radiating from the mouse king's face, "It needs attention immediately. Donald, heal him please."

"But, your Majesty..."

"No arguing Riku. I'm not going to let you kill yourself over your pride. And it's just Mickey here, I am not in my castle and am not wearing a crown."

"Fine," Riku groaned as a fresh wave of pain hit him, "Whatever you say Mickey." Donald raised his wand, a Cura spell gently enfolding the silver-haired Keyblader. Riku sighed with relief as the injury closed, leaving a light scar where torn flesh had been.

"Just a flesh wound? Yeah right tough guy," Sora joked, masking his own concern for his friend.

"Sora, don't make fun of Riku," Kairi admonished. He turned to defend himself, only to see her grinning humorously, as if to say it was only a joke. The sun dipped lower in the sky, flashing its dying rays into the bay of the play island, and the light struck her flowing red hair, creating a fiery halo around her head. Her blue eyes sparkled with happiness, and Sora felt a wave of heat pass across his face as he gazed at his friend.

"Garsh Sora, you okay?" Goofy asked as he looked at his awestruck friend.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, uh, just fine," He stammered in reply.

Donald laughed, "If you say so Sora." Mickey pulled out a small, circular device and pushed a button on it.

"Welp. Donald, Goofy, get ready to leave."

"Why are you all leaving so soon your Maj..., I mean, Mickey?" Kairi asked.

"I have some things to attend to back at the castle," he sighed, a dreamy look came into his eyes, "Plus, I haven't seen Minnie in a long time."

"And I have to keep my promise to Daisy to," Donald said nervously.

"And I haven't seen my Maxie since we left," Goofy added.

"Who?" Sora asked, confused.

"Why, he's my one and only favorite son."

"You have a son?!" Sora and company yelled.

"Auyuck, yep, and he's the best son a guy could ever have," the dog laughed. A Gummi ship descended from the sky, softly landing on the beach behind them.

"Welp, that's our cue," Mickey said as he hopped onto the back of the ship. He flipped open the hatch, and with a quick wave to Riku, jumped in.

"Goodbye Sora," Donald and Goofy said as they hugged their best friend.

"Enjoy your break guys," Sora replied as tears entered his eyes. He gave his friends one last wave as they hopped into the ship.

Mickey's head popped out," We'll send word as soon as we can." He shut the hatch, powered up the engines, and steered the ship upwards. A few seconds later it shot up into the sky, blasting off into the stratosphere.

"Don't worry, we'll see them again soon," Kairi said to her sniffing friend.

Sora turned away, embarrassed to be seen crying," Let's just....go home."

"Yeah," Riku agreed as he stared off into the sunset, "Home."

"It seems like a fairy tale," Kairi said as the three began to walk towards the docks.

"You know, you're right. But Mickey'll send word soon, and then maybe we can get on with our break," Riku answered.

"Yeah, and who know's, we may see them again sooner than we think," Sora added.

The three teens reached the docks, and found a small boat lying on it's side next to the large wooden contraption. "I wonder who's boat this is?"
Sora asked as he stared at the small aquatic vehicle.

Kairi blushed softly, "It's mine."

"Aw, you made one without us Kairi?" Riku quipped as he and Sora hauled it into the shallows.

"I didn't even know you guys when I did, remember?"

"She's got you there Riku," Sora said grinning.

"Aren't you supposed to be on my side here?"

"Nope." Sora and Riku began to row under the observant eye of Kairi, off into the great ocean of the Destiny Islands.
