Sora enters the room, to his dismay, alone. He didn't know how to wake Ventus up. Sora walks around the large room. He looks at the large chairs. He then realizes that there's someone on one of the chairs... sleeping? Sora inches closer. When Sora finishes gathering up his courage, he walks up to the chair where the person is sleeping.

He looks alot like Roxas, Sora comments mentally.

Now, time to wake him up, Sora says in his mind.

Sora tries to shake him awak. Nothing

"Hello? Are you there?" Sora asks.

This will take awhile, Sora sighs.


Outside the room, Ariella, Donald, and Goofy all have their ears pressed against the door. Ariella is currently having a laughing fit from what she's heard from inside the room. Soon, Donald and Goofy are in the same state as Ariella. They finally calm themselves. Donald, Ariella, and Goofy return to listening to what's going on. Ariella feels strange. Like something is watching her. She turns around and sees something move in the corner of her eye. She walks through the corridors in search of what was watching her.


Sora is still trying to wake Ventus up.

"Okay, how are you still sleeping? Like seriously! I've done almost everything to wake you up, and you're still asleep!" Sora exclaims.

"I think your name is Ventus, right? Well, I'm Sora. Though I doubt this will get me anywhere." Sora says.

Suddenly, Sora feels something. It is a strange warmth. Sora looks down and puts his hand over his heart.

"Whoa." Sora says. Then a tear falls down his cheek. Then he remembers something.

Flashback

"I'm gonna head back." I young Riku said while getting up. Riku and Sora were laying on the beach of their island watching the stars.
"Ya, me too!" a young Sora said also while getting up. They start to walk back.
"Sora, what's wrong? You're..." Riku said to his friend. They stopped walking.
"Huh?" Sora reached to touch his cheek. Then a tear fell down his cheek.
"That's weird, it's like something is squeezing me inside." Sora said.

End Flashback

Ventus starts to stir. Sora right away looks up.
