Chapter 2

The two echo laughter in the distance as an individual rides a silver charred motorcycle adorned with red and yellow tassels along its side. He multitasks as he rides the beach checking messages on his black Sharp 923SH. He smiles at the dirty ones and deletes the old ones along with it and closes the cell within a snap. Sora and Kairi look towards the figure riding their way.

He comes to a stop, then releases the motorcycle pedal stopper in the sand as it collapses around the metal core. He shakes his spiked short indigo hair from his glistening sweated green helmet and laughs devilishly. He stares at Kairi.

"Senior graduation tomorrow beautiful, two days till the concert you stoked?"

Kairi laughs and pushes him friendly.

"Yeah, I am stoked Riku, 'll be in front row!" She looks at his clothing and cocks an eyebrow.

"Your into motor cross now? This is a beach Riku, not a bike pedaling contest!" Kairi laughs as he twirls her long auburn hair with one finger.

"We'll it seems to me Destiny Islands was once our playground, the kid in me never dies. Anyways, it was a tough adventure for me and Sora, then we got the letter from the King to start a new one, it never ends. His letter was so indirect, what does: "Save one, save all, save two and you will be presented with a different crew. Help defeat darkness once again, or the story will continue again and again." Even mean?" Riku shakes his head. "I knew that mouse was a bit...obscured...even a bit off his rocker, if you know what I mean?" Riku laughs loudly.

Sora interrupts the private chat, "Yeah, but we had to save your ass back there TWO times. Not once, TWICE! You were so stubborn when you were younger."

Riku narrows his eyes and smiles again.

"Aww, you're cussing! Not the little angel we thought anymore did we?"

Sora narrows his eyes.

"I mean it Riku." He says.

"I know. Thank you for your help. If it wasn't for both of you, I would be screwed...big time."

The breeze passes again through Riku, Sora, Kairi as they head towards the Papou tree. Sora glances at Riku.

He's changed alot.

Riku's hair is a bit darker, shorter, and healthier than when Sora last seen him. At the age of 19, His eyes shined a glaze of adventure, heart, and zest that any young man who believed in freedom possessed. His clothing changed too. It's a bit less baggy and a more conservative approach despite his wild nature. He is mostly seen in Ralph Lauren polo's and tan khakis, expensive shades and a couple of casual designer tuxes here and there when he attends parties or goes on dates and when he's not dressing up or has many young women flocking all over him, he will be in his motocross uniform practicing tricks with his boys at Dundee dirt mounds.

Typical Riku.

As Sora turns away, Riku glances back at Sora.

Well, the twerp seemed to have grown balls these past four years. He's matured.

Through Riku's eyes, Sora was just a kid. Now at 18, he's become a young man. Sora has taken on the interest in skateboarding to get his mind off of wondering about what the future holds, and instead focuses on the present and how to ask out Kairi. His hair is sun kissed brown with tinges of blond, a result of his months in water polo and soccer. Those months were the best. No adventures, No interruptions, just him and his friends relaxing, and of course seeing Kairi smile at his clumsy jokes every day. His clothing style hasn't changed much, just the name tags of brand names and skateboarding clothing. Everything he wears is pretty much casual whenever he is on the go. He's not much of the so called "Ladies man" more of the gentleman so to speak. Girls liked him for his personality, but all knew the only one his heart was for was Kairi.

Riku laughs to himself.

Sora and Riku both gaze at Kairi.

She is so beautiful.

Kairi knew from the start when she moved from Hollow Bastion to Destiny Islands that Riku and Sora had a thing for her. To be honest, she really can't choose between the two. Both of them have personalities she loves in guys, it is just up to her heart to make the decision. Her auburn hair has grown into wavy tendrils down her back. She often straightens it like she used to when she was younger for the fad, and now that she's 18 and older, she can just be comfortable being herself letting her natural hair work its magic. Besides wearing school uniforms at school, on weekends and evenings she still loves to wear her favorite colors purple and pink in Victoria Secret clothing wear and Fox clothing wear and has picked up hobbies in skateboarding like Sora, modeling, shopping and playing video games once in a while with her guy friends. Every time she arrives to the islands, her boy and girl classmates swarm over to see her and ask her random questions about hanging out, clothing trends, and dates. Kairi is always happy to answer, but is always worried about the answer if one of her boys asks her out first.

Sora and Riku meet each other's glances and narrow their eyes.

"Look! The Papou tree, we're here!" Kairi exclaimed.
