Chapter One : Dreams
I've Been Having These Weird Thoughts, Lately…
Like Is Any Of These For Real? Or Not?
Long brown hair covered around her face as she stood deep into the ocean, a boy with brown hair and blue eyes floated down as well. He turned around confused and took a step forward, a light illuminating his foot. She turned her head slowly, her hazel orbs filled with confusion. She reached out her hands towards him and opened her mouth, bubbles forming as a platform appeared; showing a princess and other surrounding it. He stepped towards her once more and widened his eyes as doves began to fly up from where he stepped and a light was emitted. Feathers flew around the two as they grabbed each other's hands as the doves flew around them.
"So much to do...so little time. Take your time, don't be afraid. The door is still shut."
"Now, step forward, can you do it?"
The boy let go of her hand, stepping forward. He turned his head and looked at her. Shakedly, she took a step forward as well, both examining the place. Suddenly, three items appeared; a sword, staff, and a shield.
"Power sleeps within you two, if you give it form. It will give you strength. Choose well..." The boy ran towards the sword.
"The power of the warrior, invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction." The boy nodded and gripped the sword tightly.
"You're path is set, now what will you give up in exchange?" The girl tilted her head as she gently touched the shield.
"The power of the guardian, kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all." The girl looked up, her hazel eyes squinting in confusion. She slowly grabbed the shield.
"You're path is set."
"You have chosen the power of a warrior,"
"And you have chosen the power of a guardian."
Suddenly the platform broke apart; the girl stumbled as she reached out for the boy. He grabbed her hand as they headed towards another platform. The two landed on it as a sword appeared in his hand and a shield appeared in hers.
"Use these powers to protect others. There will be times that you have to fight, but keep your light burning strong." Four ant like monsters appeared, the boy let go of the girls hand and rushed forward, hitting one of them. Suddenly one jumped towards him with its claws out, the girl quickly ran forward and blocked the attack. They continued to fight the monsters until the platform started to be consumed in darkness; the girl stepped back and stared at the boy who reached out his hands towards her as they sank in the darkness. Struggling to reach for his hand, she moved her fingers in hope to have contact with his. They touched and a new platform appeared under; they stood up and look at the grand door nearby. The door was transparent as the girl went to touch it. A golden chest appeared and the boy ran towards it, tapping it with his sword. It green bottle, representing a healing potion appeared. The door become visible, slowly opening the double doors; illuminating the room in white.
"The door won't open just yet. Tell me, more about yourself."

The girl shook her head and looked around to see herself on a beach. A guy suddenly walked up towards her,
"What's most important to you?" She stepped back in surprise, and raised a brown eyebrow at him.
"My friends, of course." He nodded,
"What are you so afraid of?" She shrugged,
"I don't know…being indecisive?" He raised an eyebrow at her words.
"And what exactly do you want out of life?" She smiled,
"To be strong." He looked at her,
"Why do you want to be strong?"
"So I can protect those who are close to me."
"You're adventure beings at dawn, as long as the sun is shining."
"Your journey should be a pleasant one. The day you will open the door,"
"Is both far off and very near."
-&-
Suddenly, darkness consumed her eyesight. Rubbing her eyes she squinted to see she was back on the platform, looking down she noticed a princess with holding a rose; with thorns around her in a stain glass picture. More ants like creatures came up; stepping backwards she felt something hit her back. She jumped back with wide eyes to see the boy from before with his sword in hand, fighting off the creatures. She shook her head and looked down to see her shield; she quickly put it up as it tried to claw at her face. It suddenly disappeared as the boy strike it. A light began to move forward, showing a stain glass pathway. The two quickly ran on it to see another platform nearby.
"The closer you get to your light, the greater your shadow is." She turned to see both his and her shadow increasing in length and slowly forming out of it. She widened her eyes and stepped back.
"But don't be afraid and don't forget..."
The boy grabbed her as the huge creature almost stepped on her, he tugged at her wrist and ran to see if there's any escape. Stopping at the edge, he stopped and looked back with his sword. He looked at the girl and moved his lips; she tilted her head as no words were heard. He shook his head and ran towards the creature, attacking it. The creature stepped forward as he stepped back, sword disappearing.
"But don't be afraid..." She widened her eyes as darkness seemed to consume under him, she ran towards him, hand reached out as the monster stepped closer.
"You hold the mightiest weapon of them all."
He struggled and reached out his hand as darkness also began to consume the girl.
"So don't forget."
She widened her eyes and reached her hand out further towards the guy. Blue eyes meeting hazel eyes before darkness consumed both of their visions.
"You are the ones who will open the door."

"Sora," a boy with bright blues eyes, brown spiky hair, slightly tan skin; sat up as a girl with long brown curly hair; with pale skin laid on the ground, circling the sand with her finger. His clothes were a red jumper, with a belt hanging loosely around his waist. His pants part of the jumper was poofy too. With a crown necklace and black fingerless gloves.
"Yes, Reira?" Reira turned her head to him and furrowed her eyebrows, her hazel orbs staring right into his blue orbs. Her outfit being a simple white tank top with the black numbers of 21 and green bootie shorts with thin black belt hanging loosely around her hips.
"I didn't say anything Sora…" He chuckled and lay back down. She giggled and closed her eyes,
"Whoa! Give me a break, Kairi." Sora sat back up as a girl with short red hair and blue eyes stand over him; laughing. Her outfit was simple as well, a white tank top and a purple skirt, with a darker shade of purple belt on her hips. Reira snapped open her eyes and saw aqua eyes and silver hair.
"Ah! Riku! You scared me!" Riku raised an eyebrow at the girl and flicked her forehead. His outfit was a yellow wife beater and dark blue poofy pants.
"We have work to do, stop doing nothing and start doing something, Reira." Reira pouted and rubbed her forehead.
"No way, Riku. Doing nothing is what I'm best at." Riku shook his head,
"We need to get the-"
"NO! This huge, black THING swallowed me up! And Reira was there too! I couldn't breathe- OW!" Riku and Reira looked at Sora rubbing his head. Kairi raised an eyebrow,
"Are you still dreaming?" Sora shook his head,
"It wasn't a dream...or was it? I don't know." Kairi walked towards the beach as Sora looked at her,
"What was your home town like?" Kairi shook her head.
"I don't know, I don't remember." Riku helped Reira up,
"That's why we're building the raft, but it seems like we're not getting anywhere with you lazy bums." Kairi smiled,
"Let's have a race!" Sora shook his head as Riku sat down next to him,
"What? Are you kidding?" Kairi nodded,
"Ready? Set go!" The two looked at each other and shot up, running. Kairi looked at Reira and the two giggled and ran after them.
"Ahh!" Reira tripped and flipped over as the two stopped and ran back. Kairi tried to help her up,
"Reira, are you okay?" Sora helped her back up, as Riku narrowed his eyes at her.
"Reira, you're clumsy as ever." Reira lightly blushed,
"I can't help it." Sora shook his head and scratched his head,
"Maybe you shouldn't run."
"Sora don't be a sore loser just cause you lost." Sora jumped back,
"No! I just turned around to help Reira." Riku laughed,
"Excuses,"
-&-
"Can you two get the materials?" Kairi looked at Reira and Sora. Sora shook his head,
"What were they again?" Kairi put a hand on her hip,
"Geez; two logs, one cloth, and one rope. No slacking you two!" Reira laughed,
"Have you ever caught us slacking?" Kairi giggled,
"Of course, weren't you two sleeping together on the beach earlier?" Reira sheepishly smiled,
"We weren't sleeping...we were looking through the sands to see if we'd find any...uh...shells, yeah shells." Kairi raised an eyebrow,
"Sure, now go along! You guys have work to do." Sora smiled and turned to Reira,
"Come on, let's go."
-&-
"So what do we need now?" Sora held a rope and cloth, Reira tilted her head.
"Two logs," Suddenly Tidus came up to them,
"Hey, Sora, feeling lucky today?" Sora grinned,
"No need to feel lucky if it's beating you." Tidus grinned,
"Alright, let's see!" The two got wooden swords and began to fight each other. Reira smiled a bit,
"You can do it, Sora!" Tidus shook his head,
"Man, I'm really off today." Sora grinned and put his hand behind his hand,
"Well, I gotta go look for logs. See ya later." The two walked off to the ocean and saw the logs. Each grabbing one they went back to Kairi.
-&-
"Good job, guys! Here." She handed Sora a hi-potion,
"Well, it's getting late. We should all head home in a bit." Reira bit her lip,
"Let's watch the sunset on the palm tree today!" Sora nodded,
"I think I saw Riku already there,"
-&-
"So, Kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?" Sora looked at Riku,
"Could be, we'll never know if we stay here." Riku crossed his arms as Reira swung her legs,
"How far could a raft take us?"
"Who knows? If we have to, we'll have to think of something else." Kairi smiled,
"What would we do in another world?" Riku shrugged,
"If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up in this one?" Reira smiled and turned her head to Riku, her brown curls slightly hitting his face.
"Maybe it was destiny?"Riku smirked,
"And suppose there are other worlds, and then our island is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?" Riku turned to Reira,
"I don't know." Riku uncrossed his arms,
"Exactly." Sora laid on the palm tree, hands behind his head.
"We need to go out there." Kairi turned to him,
"You've been thinking a lot lately," Riku nodded,
"Thanks to you, if you hadn't come." Kairi smiled, as Riku got off the tree.
"Come on, it's getting late, we should go."
-&-
"Hey, Sora." Sora turned around and caught a yellow star fruit.
"You wanted one, didn't you?" Sora looked down at it as Riku stepped towards him.
"A paopu fruit?" Riku nodded.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's live, no matter what. C'mon, I know you want to try it." Riku walked away as Sora raised an eyebrow,
"What are you talking-"Riku laughed and ran forward to catch up to Reira and Kairi. Sora looked at the fruit and back at the trio; he sighed and threw it away; running after the three.
-&-
Reira sighed and snuggled into bed, looking out the window
"Destiny Island...I've been here as long as I could remember...Yet in a few days we'll be setting off to sea for new worlds." Reira smiled and squealed into her paopu pillow.
"Reira, Honey! Is everything okay?" Reira looked up at hearing her mother's voice.
"Everything's fine, mom!" She sighed and looked at the picture of her, Sora and Riku when they were kids in front of the secret cave.
"I remember that day..."
"Sora, Riku! Wait up!" A little Reira ran after the two as they head inside the secret cave.
"Hurry, Reira!" Little Sora grinned and waved his hand. Little Riku, even though he was a bit older already entered the cave.
"Come on you guys," Reira stepped back with a frown, holding her stuffed bunny closer to her. Sora stopped and turned around,
"What's wrong?" Reira frowned,
"It's scary in there!" Sora shook his head and grinned, showing his two missing front tooth.
"No it isn't." Reira shook her head, hugging her bunny tighter,
"What if there're monsters in there?" Sora pointed to himself with his thumb,
"I'll be in there to fight them all and protect you!" Reira giggled and held out her pinky.
"Pinky promise?" Sora nodded and wrapped her pinky with his,
"I promise to always protect you!" Sora grinned and grabbed her hand,
"Let's go!"
