Her eyes were closed peacefully as she felt herself sink through the water gently, her body limp and unresisting. The dulled rays of sunlight could have been seen from beneath the ocean's surface had she wished to open her eyes.

Then she began to sink faster, almost plummeting to the ocean floor, but still she didn't open her eyes.

Suddenly, a flash of white light. Next she knew, she stood upon a familiar beach, the ocean waves lapping gently. A short distance away, a brown haired boy she knew stood at the water's edge. He looked around, seeming disoriented.

Another boy she knew stood almost thigh deep in the water, his back turned to the shore. The sea breeze blew through his silver hair playfully. The first boy lifted his hand to block the harsh rays of the sun shining in his blue eyes. Apparently seeing the other boy in the water, the first boy began to make way his way towards the second.

The girl stood there, observing all of this from her place on the beach. She saw the blue eyed boy stop and look down at the water, as if only just now realizing how deep out in the sea the other boy stood.

The girl's eyes widened. A gigantic wall of water was suddenly raging towards them. A tsunami! Her eyes darted to the boy still in the water, then to the one on the beach. "Look out!" she cried. She made to run towards both of the boys, but her feet were unable to move.

The silver haired youth appeared unconcerned. He looked over his shoulder at the brunette. Finally, the silver haired boy turned around to face the other teen. He then held out his gloved right hand towards the boy on the beach. All the while, the massive wave was coming closer. The silverhead just stood there with an air of calm.

"What are you doing? Move!" the girl cried again. But it was like they didn't hear her at all.

As if reflecting her feelings of panic, the boy on the beach dashed towards the boy in the water, his arm stretched out in front of him. Everything seemed to move in slow motion for a moment, and then the silver haired boy was gone. The girl saw the waves overtake the brunette.

"Riku! Sora!" she shouted. The female struggled to move from her place.

Then she too was underwater, but unlike the boys, she was not tumbling or floating about. She was just there.

Why isn't Riku swimming to the surface? she wondered while looking at the silver haired boy. Riku floated, unconcerned. Riku's aquamarine eyes were locked with the brunette's. The girl looked over at the other boy. I don't get it! Is he waiting for Sora to do something? She saw Riku hold out his hand towards Sora again, even as the two boys slowly drifted apart. Sora started to frantically swim, his own hand struggling to reach out again towards Riku's. But then the ocean currents pushed Sora away from Riku.

The scene changed again. The girl was standing on the shore once more in the light of a beautiful sunset. She saw Sora's head break the surface of the water. Sora was looking around.

"Sora! Sora!" The girl waved at him a bit frantically, getting his attention. He waved back. He can see me now! The boy splashed through the water towards her. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Oh good, he seems to be okay! She took a few steps toward him. When he bent over to catch his breath, she stopped a short distance away to give Sora room to breathe. The female teen folded her hands behind to her back to keep them from grabbing at him. She leaned over and looked over Sora for any signs of injury.

Sora finally glanced up at her and gave a small smile. Seeing that he was fine, she straightened up and smiled herself. The girl drew her hand towards her mouth as she gave a small relieved laugh and looked at Sora fondly.

But her relief was short lived. The smile fell away as she blinked once, twice. Sora turned to see what she was looking at. Ten or so shooting stars fell from the sky. Is that a person? A body was falling through the sky! But neither she nor Sora could make out the person's appearance from the distance they stood at.

The person continued to fall. The girl gasped, her hand coming to her mouth. He'll die if he hits the water from that height! The person fell closer and closer towards the ocean.

The girl suddenly saw Sora falling. Concerned, she turned towards the boy. But then the ground she was standing on turned to a clear, reflective surface and Sora was falling towards it. She reached out to grab his hand as he fell. But then he was falling through the surface as if it were water. He tried to grab hold of her hand, but after a few seconds he seemed to surrender to his fate, his arm going to hang limply by his side. "Sora!" she screamed. She stood on the surface, the water rippling from where he fell, all the while reflecting the blue sky and white clouds above her. Then the ripples smoothed out, and from atop the smooth surface the girl could see clouds and the setting sun below her. She watched helplessly as Sora continued to fall until he broke through another surface of water, and then he was just…gone.

The girl screamed,"Sora! Sora!" Tears streamed down her cheeks as she fell to her knees and banged at the surface she stood upon, which was now hard and unrelenting unlike it had been when Sora fell through.

The barrier proved to be unbreakable, no matter how hard the girl tried to reach Sora.

Then she woke up.
