Epilogue: Promise
Kairi sat at home looking up at the ceiling, listening and watching the fan run as she was going through her memories remembering the days she and Sora would go to school together, either his parents or hers driving. They would enter the school together and leave together. Just when she began to worry that they'd be separated for high school, she could still feel the relief she felt when they both obtained Hogwarts acceptance letters one week apart. He was her best friend and her next door neighbor and they both would be attending Hogwarts that next week.
Her mind started wandering to the events of her parents death, and she started to curl up a ball closing her eyes as she heard her aunts frantic voice calling to Kairi who had been waiting for her parents to come back from their anniversary dinner. She was 8 years old when her parents went head on with wrong way driver killing them instantly. She opened her eyes as she remembered the one person she wanted with her was Sora.
She shot up from her bed and ran to the window that was facing his; she pulled her blinds back and frowned to see his light off already. 'Oh, hell nah.' She picked up a paralyzing blow flute that had been an impulse buy from an Indian reservation she visited with her family as they were passing by. She picked up a rock that she kept stashed in her desk for times like these and stuck it inside. She grinned already wanting to laugh as she brought it to her lips and breathed out as fast and as hard as she could watching it fling out and hit his window.
She waited. Nothing. As she was about to get another rock from the medium sized pile (yes she had the rocks in order from smallest to largest), a light turned on and the blinds shot back and a grumpy shirtless crazy haired kid peeked out. She smiled and waved at him, motioning for him to come over. He sighed and shook his head; she then motioned toward the flute and her watch indicating she could do this all night. He then quickly let the blinds fall and put clothes on and crawled out of his window and walked towards hers climbing the window and into her room.
"SOR-A!" She sang wrapped her arms around him as he stood there stiff. When she let go, he nodded at her as if to ask her what the deal was. She sat him down on her bed and looked seriously at him. "We'll be starting Hogwarts tomorrow…" she starts. "I want us to make a promise to each other that we'll always be friends and stay close to each other, but I also want to see you make real friends. Stop closing yourself off from people, even me. I've known you since we were in diapers, and we've seen each other naked." He was about to get up and walk out from the uncomfortable direction this was going but she yanked on his shirt and pulled him down, "I'm not finished, fool. We used to shower together when we were little and yet you treat me like I'm just another stranger."
He shrugged and she sighed. She held up her pinky and said "Promise. Promise you won't forget me and you'll open up, and stay away from your psycho ex!" He really didn't feel like arguing, even though he finally stopped talking to that moron almost a week ago…he probably forgot to tell her but that would only freak her out more plus it was highly unlikely her spacey ass got into Hogwarts unless they really recruited anyone with "powers" and knew that even though it didn't mean shit to him, it would make her chill so he held out his pinky and she wrapped hers around his, and they kissed their fists making it a packed.
