Sora woke up to a log landing on his stomach and knocking the wind out of him. He sat up and looked at the log. "What?" He heard someone laugh behind him and turned to see Riku.
"Hey, look who finally decided to wake up."
"Sora, you lazy bum. You're supposed to be helping us build the raft, but you're down here snoozing," Kairi said as she walked up.
"No! There was this big black thing and it swallowed me up! I couldn't- ow!" Sora said as Kairi smacked him on the head.
"Are you still dreaming?" Kairi asked.
"It wasn't a dream. Or was it? I don't know," Sora dropped his head and looked at the ground.
"Come on you two, we're supposed to be working on the raft," Riku reminded them.
"Ok. I'll race you!" Kairi chimed.
"What? Are you kidding?" Sora said. He looked at the log and pushed it off of him.
"Ready? Go!" Kairi shouted. Sora and Riku looked at each other and Riku took off running. Sora got up and tripped over the log. He stumbled but kept running, trying to catch up to Riku. Kairi ran after them so she wouldn't get left behind, laughing the whole way. Riku was the first one to reach the door, and Sora soon joined him.
"You got a head start," Sora complained after he caught his breath.
"You can worry about that later. Right now let's get the materials for the raft, ok?"
"We'll have a rematch later," Riku said, and Sora nodded in agreement.
"Ok, so we still need two logs, a rope and a cloth," Kairi told them.
"You get one log, I get the other?" Riku suggested.
"Yeah, and I'll get the rope."
"So I get the cloth. Sounds good," They both agreed and ran off. Riku headed towards the paopu tree, knowing there was a log near there, Sora went and got the one on the beach that was thrown at him.
"Hey, what's happening, man?" Wakka called to Sora. "You up for a round?"
"Maybe later. Riku and I are gathering supplies."
"What're you guys up to, anyway? Whatever it is, be careful. Of course, having Riku along should be a big help."
"Yeah, well, he's not the only one helping," Sora stated. He picked up the log and went to give it to Kairi. Riku was heading back as well and they both gave the logs to Kairi.
"Ok. We still need the cloth and rope!" Kairi yelled at them but they were already out of sight.
Sora climbed up the ladder to the left, to get to the deck and Riku ran to the right. He ran up to the small ladder then paused to look down at the entrance to the cave that was hidden, in the shadows between the big tree and the rock wall. He grinned and continued to the tree house where there was a cloth hung on the wall. He ran down to the ladder but jumped down instead. He jumped down again, ran down the ramps and back to Kairi.
"Ok! All we need now is the rope Sora's getting." Kairi said and grinned.
"I'll be waiting by the paopu tree." Riku said and started heading for the tree. He got to the tree and sat down on the trunk, while looking out at the ocean.
"Hey Riku!" Sora yelled as he ran up.
"Did you give all your supplies to Kairi?"
"You bet!"
"Then how about a quick round? Grab your sword."
"Okay, you're on!"
"This one decides the champion!" Riku declared and jumped down. They moved to a good spot and stood in there ready stances. "Ready or not." Sora made the first move and charged at Riku. Riku easily dodged and attacked Sora from behind. Sora turned around and swung at Riku, but Riku blocked the hits, countering after the third try. Sora managed to get in a couple of blows, causing Riku to fall backwards, but he leapt back up, hitting Sora as he passed him. They continued fighting like this for a while. Sora was on offense while Riku was mainly on defense. After a while the duel was over and Riku won.
"Man, now the score's 0 to 1!" Sora whined in defeat. Kairi came over and looked at the two of them.
"Tired? How about we call it a day?"
"Sounds good to me," Riku said and put his wooden sword away.
"Yeah, sure," Sora said. Sora went over to the paopu tree and sat high up on the trunk.
"Okay, it is getting late. We'll finish up tomorrow." Kairi said and sat next to Sora. Riku also went over but he leaned against the trunk instead of sitting down. They sat and watched the sunset, until Sora spoke up.
"So, Kairi's home is out there somewhere. Right?"
"Could be. We'll never know by sitting here," Riku replied.
"But how far could a raft take us?"
"Who knows? If we have to, we'll think of something else."
"So, suppose you do get to another world. What would you do there?" Kairi asked.
"I haven't really thought about it. Guess I won't know until I get there. It's just, why are we here? On this island? If there are other worlds out there, we could just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?" Riku answered.
"I don't know," Sora said and laid down.
"Exactly."
"How many worlds do you think are out there?" Sora wondered out loud.
"I'm not sure, but we need to go out there and find out. So let's go."
"Yeah, let's go." Sora said and looked out at the sunset. It started to get darker and they decided to head home. Kairi walked ahead, while Sora and Riku followed behind.
"Sora." Riku called tossing a fruit to him. Sora turned and caught the fruit.
"A paopu fruit?"
"If two people share one, there destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." Riku explained and walked past Sora. Sora turned and looked at Riku confused. "C'mon, I know you want to try it." Riku slightly laughed and started running.
"What are you talking-" Sora was still confused. He tossed the fruit off the bridge and chased after Riku.
Meanwhile, at Disney castle, Donald was flying around corners screaming. He ran in to the garden to find Goofy sleeping soundly on the flowers. "Wake up Goofy, wake up! This is serious!"
Goofy didn't budge, he just continued snoring. Donald, with his short temper, cast thunder to wake up Goofy. Goofy sat up and looked at Donald.
"Hey there Donald. G'morning."
"We got a problem Goofy! But don't tell anyone…" Donald quietly said, looking around.
"Queen Minnie?"
"Not even the Queen." Donald said sticking his bill in the air.
"Daisy?"
"No! It's top secret!"
"G'morning ladies!" Goofy said looking past Donald and slightly bowing.
"Wha?" Donald turned around to see Queen Minnie and Daisy standing there. Daisy cleared her throat and Donald gave a nervous laugh.
