Chapter 3: The Departure
Sora had tried to rest up before they departed for wherever it was they were going. It seemed Cid knew alot about..Well..Anything. So, Cid was gonna pilot. Sora couldn't sleep, he laid in the bed with his futile attempts to doze off. Kairi was racing through his mind, and he couldn't shake it..
"Ah. It's no use."
Sora quickly leaned up on the bed, and then jumped to his feet, stretching his arms in the air and yawning. He then walked outside, to see piles of supplies, and Cid leaning up against a stack of boxes, wiping the sweat off of his head with a rag.
"Ehy, Sora! I see you have risen, couldn't sleep, huh?"
Sora wiped his eyes, and silently nodded, walking over to the rest. He peered out the window to see Leon and Cloud sparring. He opened the door, and leaned up against the door frame, looking at them. Leon looked to Sora, and smiled.
"Hey Sora, caught up on your beauty sleep ye-----"
He was cut short by Cloud's enormous blade slicing down inches from his face.
"HEY! No fair! It's over!" Leon leaped into the air, and Cloud did the same, and they both drove their swords into the ground, a humongous explosion erupting, and knocking them both a good couple feet back, and Sora was thrown back in the house, the walls shaking, and the door slamming shut.
"Yeesh. They play rough." Sora mumbled. He then stood up, brushing himself off, and walked to Donald and Goofy who were fighting over the remote.
"NO GOOFEE!! I WASH WASHING THAT!" Donald yelled, as he jumped up, snatching the remote from Goofy in mid-air.
"Gwarsh Donald. No need to get violent." Goofy succumbed and rested his head on his hands and began to doze off, while Donald flipped it back to some action movie.
Cid began to pick up and carry the boxes outside to the dolly.
"Ehy! Sora! Gimme a hand here, will ya?" Cid pleaded..
Sora nodded, having nothing better to do, and he was obliged to help as he picked up two boxes of canned food. He followed Cid out to the ship. Cid spoke as they walked.
"Sora, you have been looking a bit troubled... What's wrong?"
"It's Kairi. I keep thinking about her, y'know? It's driving me nuts, and now that I may finally be able to be with her for sure, I don't know what to think. I think i'm in love, Cid."
Cid began to laugh, and then replied,
"Sora... How old are you?"
"14... But 15 soon."
"Yeah, responsibilities come at 15. You can finally...Legally.." Cid laughed, then continued. "You can finally legally get your Gummi Ship permit."
"Eh, I don't care. I already fly!"
They both laughed, and then pushed themselves through the main gates, and headed down the row of Ships. They came to the last spot, a big, almost Star Destroyer from Star Wars big. Well. Not that big, but it was still massive. Cid hit a button on his side, and the bay door opened, and they waited there for a few seconds as the door came down.
"Oooh." Sora was in complete awe. "This..Is...OUR ship?"
"Mm Hm. This is my baby." Cid ran his hand along the interior as he hoisted the box onto his left shoulder.
"It took me quite a while to perfect, and it's almost perfected."
He walked to a door, and hit a few buttons on a panel next to it. door slid up into the ceiling, and they walked into an empty room, save a few empty shelves, and a hatch, which probably was a garbage shoot. Cid walked a far as he could back, and stacked the box he was carrying in the corner, Sora laid his two atop.
"Well Cid, I have to say. I'm impressed. Can't wait to see this baby in action." Sora then made childish fight combat gestures with his hand.
"So, about..Kairi.. How long have you known her?" Cid questioned.
"Just about my whole life. She came to the island when I was 5, and we have been as close as ever since, along with Riku." Sora replied.
"Ahh... I once had a girl I loved." Cid then stood silent. "Eh, that doesn't matter now, let's get back and get the others to help us stock."
Sora and Cid then headed back to the house, asking the rest to help load. It took less then half an hour from there, what, with Cloud and Leon acting crazy and all.
"Hey Cloud! I bet I could get more boxes to the Gummi ship then you, and quicker too!" Leon said to Cloud.
"Hmph." Cloud was a quiet one, but just as competitive nonetheless. Leon and Cloud always seemed to be having a friendly competition for some reason. They both met each others gaze, and then dashed off towards the last of the boxes, taking what was left, which just so happened to be eight, 4 a piece they took, and off they sprinted, trying to trip, and slam each other down, in order to get ahead of the other.
"Hah!" Leon yelled as he tried to plant a foot in front of Cloud's.
"Wha?" Cloud jumped over Leon's foot, and planted both his own feet on Leon's chest, springing off of it with ease. Leon stumbled back a bit, and then tripped over a loose brick in the ground, as he fell on his back. The boxes stayed shut, but the were dented on impact. Cloud landed a good 10 feet away, and then sprinted through the gates to the ship.
"Cheap son of a---"
"HEY! LEON! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Sora, with Donald and Goofy behind, Cid walking with the three girls, made their way toward him. Leon nodded, and sat up, picking up the 4 boxes, and waited for the rest to catch up.
"Sora, I see you are ready.." Leon stated.. Sora nodded to Leon, and then grew silent. Cid walked behind Sora, resting a hand on his shoulder.
"Ok, we are all ready, right Leon?"
Leon nodded.
"Ok, let us be off!" They all left through the main gates, and boarded the ship, Sora not sure how to feel at this point. He knew one thing. It was gonna be a crazy ride.
