Author Note: It appears FFN does not want to let me use a strikethrough. Therefore, when I mean to have Sora scribbling things out, I'll be using... brackets. That's these [ ], that clear? When Sora has scribbled something out, it's going to appear in brackets.
Curse you, FFN.
Dear Riku —
I'm keeping this journal, and I'm putting it next to Jiminy's with my stuff, and I'm calling it my Riku Journal and I'm going to write in it every time you make me angry.
Donald and Goofy told me no frowning, no sad faces. All for one and one for all, and for that I have to stay happy. I want to find you and Kairi, but I can't do it unless I remember that. So, when I'm mad at you, I'll write it here instead.
I'm really mad at you, Riku.
You've always been stronger and smarter than me, but you never made me feel weak or stupid, so I've always admired and looked up to you. Where did my best friend go? The one who was thinking of a name for our raft back home on Destiny Islands, the one who taught me the importance of a Paopu fruit? He must still be there somewhere, because I believe in him, but geez…. Riku, you've turned into such a jerk. And I can't even tell you so because you keep disappearing.
[Riku, how come—]
Part of me thinks this journal is stupid the more I write in it. This is dumb and I'm frustrated, and the heroes of Disney aren't supposed to act like this, at least not according to Donald. It's just hard because I can't remember myself ever acting like this, really. I guess this is what happens sometimes when your World gets swallowed up in darkness? Whoa. All the more reason for me to fight it so it doesn't take over.
Maybe I'm just hungry. I swear the people don't eat food here. They only drink potions.
Anyway, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to write. For example, right now, I'm in Traverse Town on a bench outside the Hotel, and Donald is yelling at me that we have to go into the Gizmo Shop to fight some Heartless. I think he needs extra ether. I haven't told him that I have plenty of munny to buy some in the shop, but I suppose it is more economical to fight Heartless for it. So what I was saying is, Donald is interrupting me, and this always happens whenever I want a moment of peace. Sometimes we don't get along, Donald and I. But at least he doesn't make me as angry as you do.
I'm going to go into the Gizmo Shop and take it out on Heartless for now. If I get enough rare items, I might be able to do item synthesis and use it for Goofy like he wants, and that will make us all happy.
Bye, Riku. I wish I knew where you were. Come back soon, okay?
—Sora
