Chapter 3

Sora was in the island looking for some seashells. He was the first to arrive in the island and he was taking some time for himself. In a moment, he spotted another boat arriving in the beach. It was the fair Kairi on the boat, rowing while humming a very sweet tune like a princess. Sora watched in awe as his beloved childhood friend arrived at the beach. She was wearing her trademark white tank top with her very curious mini skirt.

"Your early! I"m surprised. I'm the first one here always." said Kairi, holding a large binder.

"That better not be homework!" complained Sora.

"You mean my binder? No silly. It's our blueprint! You know. For the raft?" asked Kairi.

"The raft! We are really doing this!?" asked Sora with excitment.

"I convinced Riku to help out. He was not excited, but he had no choice." said Kairi.

"What do you mean. Did you blackmail him or something?" asked Sora. Kairi winked.

"Maybe." she replied.

"With what?"asked Sora.

"Do you remember that embarrising photo I took with our Gummiphone? You know, at the fair?" asked Kairi.

"Where he had ice cream on his face? You didn't." said Sora.

"I did. I never deleted the picture. Riku wanted it gone remember?" asked Kairi.

"You are so bad Kairi! And we are not going to hear the end of it. Riku is probably pissed off right about now." said Sora.

"Yes. But it's all in the name of exploration." said Kairi.

"Say Kairi, what was your old hometown like? You know, where you grew up?" asked Sora. Kairi placed her binder on the sand, and looked out into the open sea. Sora has asked that question many times to her before.

"I told you before Sora. I don't remember." she replied.

"Nothing at all?"asked Sora.

"Nothing." replied Kairi.

"Do you ever want to go back?"asked Sora.

Kairi nodded. "I'm happy here. Destiny Islands is my home. I love the beaches and the islands." said Kairi.

Sora smiled at the warm thought.

"But you know, I woulndn't mind visiting." said Kairi.

"That would be something." said Sora.

"Hey you two!" said a voice with a lot of annoyance. It was Riku walking up to the others. He was wearing his yellow tank top with black overalls and he had a log in his arm.

"Found some logs. And by the looks of it, I'm the only one working on the raft." said Riku as he threw the log at Sora.

He then turned to Kairi.

"You are just as lazy as he is. You are he aren't eating a Paupu Fruit were you?"asked Riku.

"No way! We will never!" exclaimed Sora.

"Just kidding around. I got most of the materials on the other side of the island. We should all just go there and work on it a little." said Riku.

"I got the blue prints here." said Kairi holding the binder.

"All this sounds boring." said Sora.

"Work is good for the soul dude. As my father would say, work is good for everyone." said Riku.

"You are starting to sound old." said Sora.


"Why are you here?" asked Cielo as the old man sat on the couch. He had a thermos in his hand, and he sipped it slowly with a loud slurping sound.

"My dear, I am in shock. You should all be happy to see me." said the old man. He was wearing a very weird and dated long silver coat with white gloves and his eyes were yellow orange.

"Xehanort, you are not welcome here." said Nimbus, standing his ground in front of the old man.

"Nimbus, Cielo, you both should be happy to see me. I have come here to see how you two are holding up." said Xehanort.

"Leave at once!" commanded Nimbus.

"What would Ventus say to see your temper?"asked Xehanort.

"Leave." said Nimbus with a very angry voice. Cielo stood by his side and rubbed his shoulder.

Xehanort gave an unfriendly smirk and stood up. "I have come to let you two know that this world has an expiration date. You see, I can travel in time." said Xehanort.

"Then go back and get our son back you monster! Bring him back if you have such power!" cried Nimbus.

"I cannot. Your son will have a hard time in this reality." said Xehanort.

"Enough of your lies and twisted ways!" cried Cielo.

"We know what you did to Eraqus. And to the other students. We also know what you were going to do! We won't allow you to harm anyone else!" cried Nimbus.

"Calm down you two. I have come to warn you of impending doom and yet you treat me as if I'm some sort of delinquent." said Xehanort.

"Just say what you come here to say then leave!" said Nimbus.

"Belive it or not, I care for both of you. You Nimbus was once my errand boy and Cielo, you were my maid. When you two fell in love and wanted to marry, I allowed your marriage and even paid for your reception. I was even there when your precious son was born. What happened to him was something unexpected. Now, the world is going to be destroyed very soon. You two might as well grab your other boy and perhaps go to Traverse Town. You will be safe there." said Xehanort as he stood up and headed for the door.

"We will never forgive you for what you did to our son. You treated him like a lab rat!" said Nimbus crying tears.

Xehanort turned around and he cruelly said this : Your son was weak and very fragile!"

"Leave!" cried Cielo.
