The ship craftily dodged the other vessel's fire as its own canons obliterated another enemy's ship.
They were greatly outnumbered, but the brave captain never faltered as he expertly shouted out commands to his faithful crew.
The waters turned bloody as the battle reached its crescendo.
While the battle was won, the ship had taken too much damage. It entered the red sea in a blaze of bittersweet victory.
The waters stilled, as the world seemed to take a moment of silence for the fallen brave…until…
"Sora, what are you doing?" asked Riku facetiously as he stared at his best friend who sat at his kitchen table, head bowed, while tomato soup and oyster crackers covered most of the Formica surface.
"Er…eating lunch?" answered the spiky-haired brunette as his cheeks reddened until they matched the soup in his bowl…and over half the table.
The teal-eyed boy looked over the 'battlegrounds' once more before meeting his friend's gaze again. "Did the good guys win?"
"They always win, Riku," answered Sora with a slightly sad smile.
"Even heroes fall sometimes, Sora," commented the silver-haired boy as he retrieved a dishtowel.
The blue-eyed boy looked at his friend thoughtfully for a moment. "Then, let's promise to always pick each other back up if we ever become heroes."
Teal eyes blinked once at the sincerity, but Riku was too used to his best friend's antics to be fazed by the abrupt shift in mood. "You're such a sap sometimes, but fine, I promise."
"Me too," said Sora with a smile as the silver-haired boy helped him clean up his mess.
