Falling Stars

I've always wanted to do something heroic. My friends Sora and Riku are always off on adventures, fighting Heartless and saving worlds. Kairi sometimes even stows away with them too. But I'm always stuck here on these islands only hearing of adventure in the tales they return with. That's what I think about every night before I fall asleep. If I ever do.

I laid awake a long time that night, thinking about that. The epic quests I was missing out on, the missions they were enjoying without me. And it was all because they were "trying to protect me". Who are they to kick me out of the group just because it's dangerous? What if I wanna help? I can face a little danger! They don't think I worry about THEM?

The more I thought about everything, the angrier I became. Finally, I groaned and sat up in bed. I'd never get to sleep now. I opened the window for some fresh air and gazed out at the moon. At that moment, a falling star flashed across the night sky. Quickly, I made a wish.

"I wish I got to go on an adventure," I whispered to myself. I waited, half expecting the sky to light up and suck me into a completely different dimension.

I sighed. Nothing happened. I lay back down and tossed and turned, trying to sleep. Little did I know that I was about to get the biggest surprise of my life, because the adventure I was about to get was much bigger and more dangerous than I had bargained for.
