Chapter 1: Bestest friend

A young 16-year-old girl sat on the edge of a miniature island. Aika stared into the distant across the ocean with determination. Her brown hair danced in the wind and the cool refreshing breeze calmed her senses. As her blue eyes stared into the distance, she vowed deep inside her heart; she would explore the worlds to find her past and her home.

She dug her hands into her pocket and took out a star shaped object made of red stained glass with silver frames, brown stitches and a brown thread to the topmost piece. The token in the middle was an odd shape; a heart with a little cross at the bottom. It was the only thing with her when she arrived on Destiny Islands. She didn't know what it was, but she knew it held sentimental value to her; it was as if someone took so much time and effort just to create it. She put it back into her pocket and sighed.

"It's out there, somewhere." Aika mumbled to herself. "I'll find it and I will get my memories back." She stood up and placed her hands on her hips.

"There you are! I was looking for you!" She heard a familiar voice and turned to see Riku standing behind her. "So this is where you're hiding?" He smirked.

"So you found me." She grinned whilst scratching the back of her head. "I'll go work on the raft."

Riku noticed his best friend's hands which were covered with a few blisters. Her hands were trembling a bit and he sighed. He felt bad for making her work so much. He sighed and shook his head.

"No, you can take the day off, you've worked enough for the day." He stated and she crossed her arms.

"It's like this is a job." She stated.

"Well it kinda is." He mumbled.

"So where are the lovebirds?" She asked curiously.

"Well Sora and Kairi are getting some leftover supplies we need for the raft." His best friend smirked at this.

"I see what you did there. Putting them lovebirds together." They both laughed at this.

As the laughing died down, Riku looked at Aika with a smirk and winked at her. She furrowed her eyebrows at this.

"You know what that means?" He asked flirtatiously.

"What are you on about Riku?" She questioned suspiciously.

"Now it's just us two…" Her jaw hit the ground and she punched his head. "Okay, okay. I deserved that one!"

She crossed her arms with a pout whilst glaring up at him. He just scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Please don't give me that look." He begged.

"Aika, Riku, Sora's fallen asleep again!" They heard Kairi's voice from the seashore.

Aika grinded her teeth together and Riku looked at her. He gasped with wide eyes and took a step back clearly scared. She was clearly very irritated and angry.

"That lazy asshole!" She growled and hopped off the bridge onto the sand. Riku jumped after her and followed her quickly. She marched towards the sleeping boy's direction with Kairi following her.

Sora was snoring loudly and Aika placed her hands on her hips towering over him. She cracked her knuckles and Kairi's eyes widened.

'Oh he's gonna get it now.' She thought.

"Wake up!" Aika growled through her teeth.

"I'll kick your butt, Aika." He mumbled in his sleep.

"Sora, wake up!" Her voice was rising.

"Then you'll have to walk with a big L on your forehead for Lame Loser!" He smiled and grinded her teeth together. Kairi and Riku gasped at this. "Stop sitting on me with your big butt, you're heavy as it is!"

"SORA!" She yelled whilst punching his head. He shouted and sat up. The boy placed his hands on his head whilst rubbing it and whining in pain. He looked up at her and smiled.

"H-hey, loser." He stuttered and his blue eyes widened whilst gulping. He shook his head and hands whilst turning pale from fear.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" She yelled whilst grabbing his collar.

The boy stood up quickly and started running off. She quickly ran after him whilst shaking her fist up in the air.

"GET BACK HERE SO I CAN BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU!" Aika yelled whilst chasing him and Riku just shook his head whilst face palming.


The 4 best friends were all finished for the day and decided to spend the last few minutes staring into the distance before leaving; something they all did every day. Sora was lying down on the leaning Paopu Fruit tree unharmed because Aika decided not to beat him up. Kairi sat next to him and on left was Riku who stood with his back leaning on the tree.

Aika sat on the edge of the islands still staring at the star shaped object from her pocket as her other friends were talking amongst themselves.

'Who could have made this?' She thought to herself. It was something very beautiful and precious to her; the remaining thing from her past that even she did not know. She didn't know what it was called, what it was for and why she had it. There were so many questions she wanted answers. She wanted to know where exactly she came from and if she had family/friends out there. Were they looking for her? These questions made her want to go to the outside worlds even more. Ever since she had gotten to the Islands that had been her main goal. She ignored how small and peaceful the islands were but instead focused on getting out.

The trio all looked at Aika and Riku called out her name. But she stated silent as she continued to stare into the distance and her golden hair blew in the wind. It was silent and all that could be heard were the sound of the relaxing and peaceful waves. Something she admired about the islands and something she would soon miss.

The sun had already set and it was dark with the start twinkling in the sky. Sora and Kairi decided to go home and Riku walked them to their boats. He walked back to go sit with his best friend.

"That's really pretty." Riku stated with a smile on his face. "Is it a good luck charm?"

"I don't really know what it is. But it was with me when I was washed up on the islands." She stated.

"So it really is good luck, huh?" He smiled but she looked down frowning which made his smile drop. "Are you okay, Aika?"

"For 10 years, I've been lost with no memories, not even one." She mumbled. "I'm really scared, Riku."

"Scared of what?" He asked curiously and she turned to him with teary eyes. It was so rare to see Aika this emotional and sad; she was always so cheerful and full of life. A tear slowly fell down her face and held her charm against her heart. "You don't have to be afraid. Come on, you're fearless."

"What if I get lost again?" She asked and his cyan eyes widened. "What if something bad happens to me or to us?"

Riku smiled sweetly and placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him with another tear falling down her cheek. On his face was such a reassuring smile which could make any worry disappear.

"I promise nothing bad will ever happen to you. I'll protect you with my life and I won't let anyone or anything hurt you." He vowed. "The reason why I want to get out of these islands, the real reason, is to become stronger so that I can protect those I care about, like you."

"Why do you care about me so much?" She asked.

"You're my best friend, silly." He poked her forehead; a habit he'd kept since they were kids. "You know, when I look at you…" He looked down and his face softened. She stared at him with sparkling eyes; she was curious. "…You remind me of someone I met a long time ago."

When he looked up at Aika, she placed her hand on his head and rustled his hair with affection; a habit she'd kept since they were kids. Instantly, he remembered when he was 5 years old, a man with brown hair and blue eyes did that same to him. He and Aika seemed alike; like they were siblings.

"Are you dazing out again?" She asked with a giggle and he couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"I guess so." He smiled at her. "You know Aika, I'm glad you showed up here 10 years ago."

"Really? Why's that?" She asked curiously.

"Thanks to you, life has gotten more interesting." This really brought a smile on her face as she wiped her tears away.

"Oh Riku…" She sighed. "If you're trying to trick me into making you cookies, it won't work." He shook his head.

"Hey, I'm serious." He said.

"Thanks Riku." She mumbled. "You're the one who's been the most supportive and you're the bestest friend anyone could have."

"Aw Aika." He had a cocky smile on his face. "Bestest isn't even a word." He received a hard smack from the back of his head.

"Way to ruin a moment!" She pouted and he laughed at this.

"Oh, what moment, eh?" Riku teased her and she huffed whilst rolling her eyes. "You know you should stop rolling your eyes; you might roll them all the way back and you would be able to see again."

"Oh my god, Riku. Why do you say things like that?" Aika laughed.

"I know how much they grind your gears." She huffed whilst shaking her head.

"You know you're not funny." She stated.

"Then why are you smiling?" He smirked.

"Because you're an absolute idiot." Aika stuck out her tongue and they laughed.

That would be the last night they spent before their worlds changed forever.
