The only edits are more details to Sora during the attack. Otherwise, I didn't change anything towards plot. *Cheers*


"Hurry up! We're going to be late!" My dad's excited voice echoed from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" I looked at my mirror one last time.

My name is Jack and I'm 5 years old. I have blue eyes and red hair like mommy, and its really spiky daddy, with a low ponytail with a yellow elastic with a crown on it. I'm wearing red swim shorts with a yellow star on my left pant leg. I ran down the stairs to see dad and Unkie Riku leaning against the door.

Daddy is just an few inches shorter than Riku now as he was making fun of daddy that he's still shorter than him. I snickered quietly. Daddy was wearing blue and black swim shorts with a blue t-shirt and his favorite crown necklace. Unkie Riku had his long silver hair in a low ponytail, a black tanktop and yellow and black swim trunks with a towel over his shoulder. They both looked at me and dad waved me over and picked up the basket that had our beach stuff and another basket with our lunch.

We were having a guys day out on a boat! They even said I could bring my friends from school! So we picked them up on the way. Zidane is two years older with short spiky blonde hair that also went in a low ponytail, and blue eyes and half a head taller than me. He's wearing a white t-shirt with blue sleeves and blue swim shorts.

Then we met up with Vaan. He's a year older with sandy blonde hair and green eyes and is wearing black swim trunks and his favorite necklace. We saw Penelo there wondering why she couldn't come too. We all just stood back trying not to gag/laugh at the 'lovely couple' as Unkie Riku put it. Van, red in the face, quickly walked to me, grabbed my hand and urged everyone to hurry up.

By the time we got to the boat it was before lunch. As we ate, we teased Vaan about Penelo and Zidane swiped something from him when he wasn't looking. The grownups caught him though and silently told him to put it back. Eventually daddy ditched his shirt and looked like he was taking a nap after stretching dramatically to annoy Unkie Riku. Me, Vaan and Zidane snickered at that.

Later on, my friends got into a fight and I tried to stop them, then, I saw something move.

I turned away and saw only the side of the boat with a few bags. The sun was low enough where it cast a shadow. I looked at it for another moment before I saw it move! The shadow moved! It got quiet behind me. I looked back and saw daddy and Unkie Riku, holding the still arguing duo who slowly stopped to see what's up, stare at the shadow as if something was really there. But… It's just a shadow, right?

"Daddy...?" Without looking away from the shadow- it's lifting itself off the floor and wall and pieces of armor appeared!- and grabs my shoulder and steers me behind him.

Unkie Riku and daddy stand before us as me and my friends stay quiet. They look at each other for a second and nod. I look back at the shadow just as they do. Two yellow orbs appear and move towards us as the shadow solidifies and darkens as it leaps up at dad!

"Dad-!" I close my eyes and hear a sound like a sword hitting something. I look back and see dad doing just that, surrounded by black mist and… Is that a glowing heart floating away?!

"Whoa!"

"Cool!" My friend stare in awe at my dad as he stands, still facing away. I could only stare at the familiar sward in his hands, I should know 'cause he drew what each version looked like with a different key chain attached. I think he called this one Crabclaw?

"Hmph, showoff." Unkie Riku grins as daddy chuckles.

"Aaah!" My friend screams as another shadow-thing leaps out at him, but he dodges and the shadow gets me and we both go over the side. I can't breath! It's pulling me down…

I hear another splash and my dad is swimming towards me. My eyes widen.

Normal POV

As the bubbles clear around Sora and parts his hands to swim… his swim shorts vanish with the bubbles. The remaining bubbles glow slightly and his legs turn a vivid blue-grey and fuse together to make a tail. He whipped out his hand to summon a Keyblade, the Crabclaw. With it's blue handle absorbing water element, it became transparent and filled with swirling blue water, the 'crab' started to move a little and take on a strong metallic shielding for damage and the handle turned into a strong coral with carving of Atlatican mermaids on the guards.

The first thing he did was send an Aeroga mixed with a few Reflect's towards Jack. It's massive bubble formed around Jack allowing him to breathe and two reflects went off, scattering and destroying a few heartless that got too close.

As more and more Heartless surround Jack, Sora merely smiles at him to calm Jack down, and swam ahead to take on any who DARES to get close to Jack.

Jack P.O.V

After the battle, he's swims back towards me and I cheer for him for winning. He smiles and playfully moves his arms showing how 'strong' he was. I giggle.

Then he lowers his arms and the only sound is the wind blowing around me. He swims closer and gently as I really look at him. I could only stare. As he came closer, he put his hand on the wind and it effortlessly parted for him while still keeping the water out. I grab his hand and the wind surrounds us both as he pulls me into his arms and held me close.

I smile and snuggled into his arms.

Slowly he lets go and looks up towards the boat. It's not far, I can hold my breath for that. Dad nods and whispers "Hold your breath." I suck in a deep breath and the wind is gone, but dad is already swimming towards them.

Unkie Riku is waiting for us at the back with the ladder down. We reach the surface And I gasp for air as dad just shakes his hair. I snicker. He guides me towards the latter and I climb up. I look back and watch as the tail faded back into skin and his swim shorts reappear. Unkie Riku holds my friends back to give us space. He looks at us like he knows what happened while my friends ask so many questions.

What can I say? My dad's a merman! I laughed to myself.
