"Guys," Riku interrupted, "let's just get moving before anyone decides to change their mind."

"GOOD IDEA, RIKU!!!" Sora suddenly erupted.

"Ouch," Riku groaned. "Did you have to do that so loud?"

"YES!!!!!!!"

"Sora," Kairi stepped in. "KNOCK IT OFF!!!"

"Gosh," Sora responded. "Why ya gotta be so hostile all of the sudden, Kairi?"

"BECAUSE YOU WON'T SHUT UP!!!!!!"

"I'LL MAKE YOU ALL SHUT UP IN A MINUTE!!!!!" Riku bellowed.

"They seem to be ignoring us quite a bit," Donald said to Goofy as they stood back to watch the argument.

"I don't think they like us very much," Goofy agreed.

"Let's go chill on the island by ourselves," suggested Donald.

"Okay, I'm with you on that."

So Donald and Goofy went off and left the other three to fight on their own. No one seemed to notice that they were gone. Not even Riku, who has so far appeared to be the most intelligent of the bunch, recognized their disappearance.

"TRY AND MAKE ME SHUT UP, RIKU!" Kairi shouted. "It's because of you that I'm acting this way anyhow. You shouldn't have told me that Sora was a girl!!!"

"WHAT?!?" Sora questioned rather loudly. "I'LL KILL YOU, RIKU!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Now, calm down, Sora," Riku encouraged. "I was only being honest . . ."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TRIED TO STEAL MY GIRLFRIEND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Honestly, Sora, I . . ."

"I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PAY!!!"

"So . . . Sora's not a girl?" Kairi attempted to conclude.

"What was your first clue?" Riku asked.

"YOU LIED TO ME?!?!?!?!?!" Kairi excliamed. "I'LL KILL YOU, RIKU!!!!!!!!!!"

"Now, everyone just take it easy," Riku said hastily. "We can't forget our mission, can we now?"

Sora and Kairi were creeping toward Riku with eyes of destruction. Riku backed away until his ankle touched the edge of the water. Scared to the point of wetting his pants, he shivered with fear and waited. His closed his eyes and braced for impact. The raging lunatics were coming closer and closer until . . .

"HAHA!!!! You should've seen your face, Riku!"

Riku opened his eyes to see Sora and Kairi laughing uncontrolably and pointing in his direction.

"You didn't dampen your pants, did you?" Kairi asked, sputtering out giggles in between her words.

Riku was desperately trying to cover up the evidence while Sora added, "I think he might have . . . HAHA! I advise you to change your clothes before we leave, Riku. You don't want the king finding out about your accident, do you?"

Riku waddled away with an embarrassed look across his face. Kairi and Sora were still exploding in fits of laughter.

Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy were spread out on another shore of the island catching sun rays.

"So, Donald," Goofy began, "do you think they're having any fun without us?"

"Nah . . ." Donald replied. "They're probably still arguing. Besides, it's easier to enjoy our vacation without them around."

"Do you think they'll ever find out what's really going on?"

"Eventually, but a wild goose chase won't hurt them any."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. You're so smart, Donald."

"I know. I'm going to rule the world someday with the powers of . . . DARKNESS!!!"

"Really?"

"Nah . . . I was just pulling your leg."

"You were? I didn't feel anything. . . ."

Donald rolled his eyes. "You are such an idiot, Goofy."

"At least I know enough to put on pants."

"It's a cloak, I tell you! A CLOAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Once Riku managed to change his pants and return, Sora and Kairi, who had finally stopped laughing, couldn't help but smile.

Oh, brother, Riku thought to himself. They're never going to let me live this down, are they?

Nope, Sora thought in response, and Riku could hear him through his own mind.

Ahh! You can read my thoughts?!? Sora, where did you learn to do that?

I've always been able to do it. I know what you're thinking all the time, Riku. Like, right now, you're thinking about ice cream!

How can you possible know that???

I know what you're thinking, Riku. Isn't that creepy? MWAHAHAHA!

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is creepy. I think you should stop it now . . .

No, I don't wanna! This is fun!

GRRRR! Sora, knocked it off or I'll pound your head in again!

Why are you always so mean to me?

Because . . . because . . . JUST BECAUSE!

Oh, that's a good reason. Seriously, Riku, why do you like to bully people? If you don't tell me, I'll possess you and make you wet your pants again!

Sora, just stop being a dork! You want to know why I beat you up? Because you are a disgrace to the universe!

That's it! You're getting possessed!
