I wake up to hear my phone ringing on the bed table. Loud, obnoxious and aggravating me to the point of wanting to smash it to bits to get back to the silence. I lazily reach my arm over over and grab it. Sliding my thumb across the screen and answering the call because if someone was calling me this early in the morning, it had better be life or death.

"What." I groan into the phone as an answer. To me at the time it seemed like a reasonable way to pick up a call like this. Laughter answers me coming from one of my closest friends, "Looks like I woke someone up. We got another message."

I don't let Sora finish anything he might have said after that stopping what he had been about to say. It probably amused him at the time but I felt slightly bad for cutting him off. But this was a dire situation and I had to get the beach on the Islands and fast.

"Be there in five, DO NOT MOVE."

I hang up and run to my closet grabbing my cover and slipping on my shoes. I don't wait time tying my converse or zipping up my cover leaving my pale blue sundress showing and I leave my hair in the messy braid down my back. Running as fast as I can, I see the others waiting for me by the paopu tree.

"Guys!" I yell to get their attention. The three turn to face me and laugh. Sora smiling and shaking his head while Kairi just rested her hands on her hips and Riku blinks at me with an amused expression. The sun against my skin felt nice and if the situation had been different I would have enjoyed the soft sound of the waves hitting the shoreline.

"I told you we woke her up." Kairi giggles. I shoot her a playful glare and then turn my focus to Sora because he was the only one who had called me and I cut him off so I felt like he should get to explain to me what exactly was happening.

"So, what's the message?"

Sora looks at me sadly, "It was a mission call from Mickey."

No one says anything for a long time after that, so I take to the liberty of tying my shoes. WhenI stand back up I watch Riku and Kairi make an excuse to go back to town. I wonder what they could be up to? Well if they got called out on the mission too it would only make sense for them to have to go with as well. They probably were headed to get their stuff ready.

"You really have to go away, again?" I can feel my smile fade into a frown and a sad expression take over my facial features. I didn't want him to know I always got upset when they left. I didn't want him to feel bad for always having to leave me behind. He sighs, blue eyes that were once really bright and dilled with happiness turning a more cold blue.

"I have to go. I know you hate being left behind, and after what happened the first time I wouldn't blame you." Sora starts to explain as we start walking down the beach. I climb the latter to our spot on the zip ling tower.

"Yeah, going through the motions as a heartless then keeping an eye on your nobody. That was NOT fun by the way. He runs off more than you do. AND causes more trouble half the time. Also he is an angst little pain in the ass who occasionally is a little ray of sunshine." I state. Sora laughs shaking his head and sits next to me on the ledge of the zip line.

"Yeah. I can believe that. Sounds like what I have heard about Roxas to me." I giggle a little and swing my feet over thin air.

"So anyway, what do you have to go away again to do?" I ask. Sora looks out to the water and just stares.

"Well, the heartless have been low profile to silent and the nobodies don't seem to exist lately. So we are going on patrol. They think something is up, like a calm before a storm. If I were honest I would have to admit I sort of think the same thing. It's ben too calm around the worlds lately."

"Oh."

That's all I can manage to say. So they really have to go away again. I'll get left behind and then eventually they all come back and we go back to normal until they are needed again. It's the same cycle over and over again. Just once, once I would like to go on an adventure. To see the worlds they talked so much about and meet all the friends. To be able to relate to their tales is all I want in the world right now. The breeze picks up a bit, blowing hair into my eyes and across my face. Clinging to my skin like I was clinging to the hope of them not leaving me all alone again. Something soft and warm brushes against the skin of my hand and I turn to see Sora putting his hand over mine.

"But, what fun would hunting down some monsters be without my best friend?" He asks smirking. Playfulness dancing across his bright eyes and his smirk pulls up into a smile. I laugh a little too loudly and then hug him happy to be finally getting the hell off this island.

"You want me to come with?!" I ask, I mean...gotta make sure he isn't joking...

"All you had to do was ask."
