Riku laughed, "come on Sora you can do it, besides I'm sure that Je...Julia will protect you when I'm not there." He turned to Julia, "right? I can trust you to take care of him like he was your own heart?"
Julia nodded, "of course, maybe that's why I'm suppose to follow him!"
A smile crept on Sora's face, "Come on guys I'm not that bad at fighting! I am the keyblade's chosen one!"
"Yeah and so am I, but things have gotten more dangerous since the last time you were out there." Riku looked out over the water, "a lot of things are actually going wrong and we need to find out why."
"It's because of the artifacts!" Julia had already tucked Namine's drawing back into her pouch. "They're out there!"
"You know about that? Well I guess my assignment just got a little easier…"
"What is your assignment?" Sora asked knowing what the answer would be.
"You know I can't say Sora."
"I know."
"Riku can you really not come with us?" she asked giving him a sad but cute look.
He smiled, "I can't…for now but maybe later when I'm done."
Donald and Goofy felt left out, "so how has everyone been?"
"Oh well…" Riku motioned for them to follow so they could go sit by the shack and talk about it.
