Zidane walked up to Sora and smiled. "Is something wrong, kid?"
Sora looked at the ground and sniffed. "Nah…"
"So where you from, anyways?" asked Riku.
Sora sighed as his memories kept coming back. "Doesn't matter, I can't go back anymore."
"Oh I see you're an outcast? So are we!"
"Oh, really?"
Riku patted Zidane's shoulder and smiled at Sora. "Yup, me and Zidane here are brothers."
Zidane nodded in agreement. "Yup, are parents died years ago and we ran away. No money, no home."
"Your parents…d…died?"
"Yeah, but that was ages ago!" shrugged Zidane. He said it like it didn't bother him much. Yet for Sora, it still pained him…
"So what happened to you?" asked Riku who was kicking a rock.
Sora looked at the ground. "I don't wanna talk about it…"
Riku stopped and looked at Sora. "Is there anything we can do?" He smiled sincerely and nodded in encouragement.
"Not unless you can change the past," sighed Sora.
Zidane smiled and threw his arm around Sora, "Well kid, you gotta put your behind in your past."
Riku slapped his forehead and groaned loud enough for his younger brother to hear. "No your saying it wrong!"
"Err?"
Riku cleared his throat. "It's, you gotta put your past behind you!" Zidane nodded. He "knew that" but just acted as if he didn't know. "Listen, bad things happen and you can't do anything 'bout it."
"Right?" Sora answered.
Riku laughed. "No wrong!"
Sora gave Riku a confused face ."What?"
Riku patted the young boy's hair. "New lesson, listen up." He paused for dramatic effect. "Hakuna Matata."
"What?"
Zidane patted Sora's head as well. "Ha-ku-na Ma-ta-ta, it means "no worries."
*Background Music Starts to Play as they Talk*
Riku threw his arms in the air. "Hakuna Matata,what a wonderful phrase!"
Zidane let Sora go and jumped in the air. "Hakuna Matata, ain't no passing craze."
Riku grabbed a plastic chair that was nearby and placed it on the ground. He motioned for Sora to sit on it. The two brothers looked at one another, "It's our problem-free, philosophy."
"Hakuna Matata," sang Riku. Sora sat in the chair and then grew a smile on his face. "Hakuna Matata?"
Zidane cheered as he noticed the smile. "Yeah, it's our motto."
"What's a motto?" asked Sora.
Riku had a goofy grin planted on his face. "Nothing! What's a motto with you?" The grin soon turned into laughter. "Hahahaha!"
"Kid, these two words will solve all your problems." Zidane informed Sora.
"That's right!"
Zidane then bit his tongue. "What's your name anyways?"
Sora hesitated but decided to tell his new friends his name. "Sora! Sora…Fair."
"Well you know our names already. I don't think we have last names though. It's been a while since... Never mind!" Riku shook his head as if nothing bothered him.
Sora surveyed his surrounding. He sniffed the air and couldn't believe how fresh it smelled. "This place is wonderful!"
Riku smiled, "The open air is great indeed."
"I'm starting to love this place." Sora confessed.
"That's great!" Zidane chimed. He grabbed Sora's arm and followed Riku.
Riku threw a wink at his little brother. "Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful phrase! Hakuna Matata ain't no passing craze!"
Sora couldn't help but, "It means no worries! For the rest of you days!"
"Keep singing!" Laughed Riku. He knew Sora would join in sooner or later.
Sora along with Zidane sung at the top of their lungs. "It's our problem free!"
"Philosophy!" Riku joined in as well. And soon all three sung along together, "Hakuna Matata!"
The trio stopped in their tracks. A overly large branch was blocking their path. Zidane patted Sora's shoulder and walked towards the branch. He then pushed it the side and the view before them made Sora gasp.
