Special II: Connections

Sora paced around the library. The spiky haired man donned a suit instead of his usual attire. Nervousness racked him as the clock ticked forward.

"To think that the one who fought massive threats and saved countless worlds would be so worried by such a simple occasion." Riku joked.

"I recall you had similar thoughts yourself." Sora replied back.

"Sure, but I'm not freaking out like you."

The doors opened as Mickey, Donald, and Goofy filed in.

"Sorry I'm late." Goofy said. "Lil' Maxy was a bit of a handful."

"It's fine, Goofy." Sora replied. "You've got a kid of your own you have to look after."

"Geez, all this really makes you realize just how long we've all been together." Mickey spoke.

"It's really been a long time." Donald reminisced. "Back then, Sora really had to depend on us to do everything."

"Really? It is 'Pile up on Sora Day'?" replied Sora.

"We're all just getting one last joke in." Riku stated. "It is your big day after all."

"Yeah." Sora smiled. "Honestly, it's still hard to believe today's real. Thanks again for let's us do it here, Your Majesty."

"It's no problem, Sora. After everything we've been through, I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Well fellas, it's about to start. Guess we should all get in place." Goofy said.

The group nodded as they parted. They left the library as the event was getting ready to start.

The audience chamber of Disney Castle was made up for the ceremony. Rows of seats were filled as Sora entered and stood on the raised platform. Looking towards the door, he eagerly awaited their arrival. Music started to play as the ceremony started.

The doors to the chamber opened as Sora gazed at the entering party. Wearing an exquisite white gown, the girl walked down the alleyway. The redhead positively glowed as she stood across from him. At long last, today was going to be the day that Kairi and him would become one. The pair looked at each other as they smiled with pure bliss.

"Alright everyone, thank you for joining us today." Mickey started. "Let's begin."

Streaks of light filled the sky about the Destiny Islands as the meteor shower continued. The waves lapped at the sands as the sight above lit up the night.

The tides continued as a small girl washed up on the beach. She was not conscious as the water deposited her. Continuing to lay there, a single figure spotted her. Pulling her from the water, they laid her on the beach.

The figure, someone whose identity was lost to the sands of time, ran off towards a nearby house. Knocking loudly at the door, a man, the mayor of the town, answered. Caught off guard by the strange, unknown person, he appeared cautious. The figure quickly explained how they'd found a young girl unconscious on the beach. Alarmed by this fact, the mayor had the figure show him the way.

Arriving at the beach, the mayor ran to the girl. Finding her okay, but asleep, he looked back from where he had come from. Yet, surprising him, the mysterious figure was gone.

Across the large island, a young, brown haired boy watched in amazement as the meteor shower continued. Seeing something in the corner of his eyes, he spotted a blurry figure he couldn't quite make out watching him. Rubbing his eyes in confusion, he opened them to find the figure was gone.

The figure continued walking as the shower started to come to a close. Looking up, they smiled.
