The feeling of sand in between his toes was as familiar to him as breathing was. The waves lapped up onto shore and against the dock, seagulls swooping over the waves farther out, looking for fish to eat. The sun reflected off the off the fifteen year olds hair, the wind brushing softly against his face.
After a few minutes of walking he made it to the dock, Kairi was waiting at the shore for him, poles and a bucket of bait in her hands. Sora ran the rest of the way to the dock, almost tripping on his own feet.
Kairi giggled as she tossed Sora a pole before walking out to the end of the dock. They set everything down, pulling worms from the bucket and placing them onto the hook. They both cast their lines into the water, hooks slowly sinking to the bottom, the bobbers floating.
Small fish swam around, taking small nips at the worm on the hook, but not quite being able to get the whole thing. Larger fish were farther out into the water, the sunlight reflecting off their scales. Sora let a small smile come over his lips as a medium sized fish took a bite of his bait.
Sora sat there and watched it for a few moments as the fish swallowed the hook. Sora yanked up on the pole, catching the fish by surprise. He gave a whoop as he reeled it in, its body pulling against the pole. "Don't let it get away Sora!" Kairi shouted with excitement.
A huge smile was on her face as she jumped up, ignoring her fishing pole completely. Sora reeled it in quick, his fish flopping onto the dock, mouth opening and closer for air. "Yeah, woo hoo!" He picked it up off the dock, carefully taking the hook out of the fishes lip. He tossed it back in the water.
"One to zero Kairi, I think I am so going win today." He gave a huge smile. Sora and Kairi have always had a competition each time they go fishing to see who would catch more. Kairi gave him a playful push, "Yeah right, I am so going to beat you!"
They continued to fish for about another hour, both ending up catching three fish each. They tired from it after a while, picking their things up and returning it to the shack on shore. The two laughed and talked just about nothing and everything. They slowly walked down the shoreline, watching the birds fly up above.
They finally made it to the boat that took them back to the main land. They climbed aboard, only have to wait for a few minutes before the boat departed, leaving waves behind it. The wind whipped the two teen's hair into a mess. Seagulls swooped down on the water, their hunt for fish continuing.
Sora and Kairi got out of their boat when they arrived to shore again, the town in its busy bustle of afternoon shoppers. They looked at each other, already knowing what the other was thinking. They ran towards the ice cream shop near the merry-go-round. They both purchased a vanilla cone, deciding to sit under the shade of a willow tree.
Everything seemed great, going as it usually does. Sora was looking around at the crowd as they wondered around; mothers making sure their children don't run off, couples walking hand in hand towards the merry-go-round to get a ride together. And that is when he saw him for the first time, the silver haired boy.
