Happy Hollidays! I'm back! Like the cover? Enjoy this new theme I wrote for you guys! Set a week after KH2 And nope, still own nothing.
Theme 21: Friends
It was a different kind of feeling, being in Radiant Garden without the pressure of his friends depending on him. Now he could relax, knowing that friends both old and new were right beside him, safe ad sound. Sora released a sigh of peace. He, Riku and Kairi were sitting around Radiant Garden's marketplace area, eating Scrooge McDuck's sea-salt ice cream. King Mickey, Donald and Goofy were catching up with the restoration committee and were going to join them soon.
"Wow! This is really good! Salty, but sweet too!" Kairi exclaimed. Riku and Sora nodded in agreement.
"Being back here brings back memories." Riku said. "Remember what this place was like when Maleficent took over?"
"It looked really bad, but the restoration committee's done a great job fixing it up." Sora responded quietly, his mind somewhere else.
"Sora? Are you okay?" Kairi asked, placing a hand on the keyblade master's shoulder. Hearing her voice, Sora snapped back to reality.
"Yeah, I'm fine Kairi, I'm just thinking." Sora replied. Both his childhood friends looked at him urgently, encouraging him to continue. "I was just thinking about how our lives would have turned out if we went out on the raft."
"We would have been dead from starvation in a week." Riku joked. "What were we thinking when we came up with those food supplies?" Both Kairi and Sora laughed in response, before Sora continued.
"That's just what I'm saying; this whole thing, it's made us stronger. We've connected with so many different people, become friends with them. And made our own friendship stronger too. I never thought that a friendship could be as strong as ours is now."
"That's because of all we've been through together." King Mickey spoke as he, Donald and Goofy walked over to them.
"Yep! There re some things ya can't do without becoming friends and fighting the heartless is one of them!" Goofy exclaimed happilly.
"So what are we waiting for?! Let's get us some more ice cream!" Donald quacked excitedly. The group spent the rest of the day hanging out and laughing together just as any group of friends would until the sun fell and it was time to go home. As the trio left for Destiny Islands, Sora thought back to all the friends he made on his journeys. He knew, he wanted to do everything he could to stay connected to them all. It was just like an old saying he knew; make new friends but keep the old.
