It was another beautiful day on Destiny Island where the the sea water is calm and tranquil. The wind gently brushed through the beach making sand particles fly and coconut trees leaves rustling. Hardly a surprise, every day is the same thing on Destiny Island.

In one of the cottages, a boy and a girl were sitting on the wooden stairs that led to the main door of the house, watching the sinking sun dreamingly. The boy had brown, spiky hair and sky-blue eyes while the girl had a long, auburn hair and sea-blue eyes. In the girl's laps was fluffy, ginger cat.

"Oh Sora", the girl said. "Thanks for buying Naomi for our anniversary."

"Think nothing of it, Kairi", Sora said, scratching the cat behind her ears. Naomi gave a purr and cuddled into Kairi's lap. Kairi giggled and then sighed.

"I wonder what it's like being an animal. It must be nice not doing any work and just play all day."

Sora cocked his head at her proclamation, then his face opened into a grin. "This is what I'm good at! Granting wishes!"

Kairi turned a quizzical look at him. "What do you mean?"

Sora grabbed her hands and said, "You'll see."

"Where are we?" Kairi asked when the Gummi ship came into a stop. Outside the ship was a totally different landscape with humid jungles and long grasslands. Varieties of wild animals roamed the area.

"This is Pride Land", Sora announced. "Home of King of the Jungle and Pride Land, Simba!"

"Simba", Kairi said. "Wasn't he the one who help you during your journey?"

"Yup", Sora said as he opened the hatch of the ship. "Whatever you do, don't be too surprise when you stepped outside the Gummi."

He stepped outside the Gummi, leaving a very confused Kairi. Shrugging, she followed him. Fresh and hot air with the smell of animal fur hit her nose when she stepped onto the soft grassland. The surprise came into two stages. The first one was she felt very short and the second was a lion cub with brown fur and blue eyes.

"Hey Kairi", it said.

Kairi jumped back in shock. It spoke! Not only it spoke, it knew her name! The cub's eyes were filled with mirth.

"I did said that don't be too surprise when you stepped out of the Gummi."

Kairi was thinking, 'How on earth does this cub knows about the Gummi?', when she saw Sora's necklace around its' neck.

"Sora?"

"Finally you got it."

Kairi gave a scream, "Oh my god! You're soooo cute!"

Sora gave a cub-like grin. "You too. Looked at yourself."

Kairi looked at her feet and squealed. Her feet were furred in pink and felt she had four legs instead of two. She could feel the movement of a swinging tail. Even without a mirror, she knew her head was smooth unlike Sora's who have a crest.

"Oh my god!" Kairi said as she whirled around. "This is so cool!"

"Isn't it?" Sora said. "Race you to that rock?"

The rock that Sora gestured was 500 meters from where they're standing. Kairi looked at it and nodded her head, eager to try her animal's legs.

"All right! Ready, steady, go!"

Both of them shot out like rockets. Kairi gave a gasp as her hew form brought to greater distance than her human form. She gave a cub-like laugh. So this what it like being an animal! Because she was laughing, she was the last to reach the rock. It took her only two minutes.

"Not fair!" she said. "I'm new to this! At least give me a chance!"

"Too bad!" Sora taunted.

Kairi pounced on him but Sora dodged.

"Haha! Too slow!"

They got into a fighting stance for lion cubs and pounced; with Kairi on top of Sora. Not going to admit defeat, Sora tried to get on top of her. Both of them were rolling all over the long grass. Exhausted, Sora let Kairi get on top of him.

"Ha! So who the slow one now?" Kairi said.

"That because I used to much energy running." Sora said.

"What a lamentable excuse that was!" she scoffed as she let him up. "Come on! If you have enough energy, you can give me a tour of this place."

So they ran across vast grasslands and barren valleys, swam and drank from rivers and ponds and swung on vines. Now they are lying on their back facing the starry night. The stars were shining brightly.

"Wow", Kairi murmured. She moved her head to Sora's chest. "The stars are so bright! I mean, a cluster of them formed a lion!"

"Yeah", Sora said. "The stars are always beautiful here."

Kairi lifted up her head to looked into Sora's eyes. "Sora, thank you for all this! You're the greatest boyfriend I always had!"

Although his face was furred, Sora blushed. "And you're the best girlfriend I ever had too."

Kairi gave Sora a muzzle on the cheeks. Sora returned the muzzle on the mouth.
