Hey. Haven't had any reviews for a while, but that doesn't mean I'm giving up on my baby. Once again, to all the people who have ever sent me a review many thanks.

I've been told to correct a mistake on behalf of my new friend. The name is just swordofblackroses, no 'the' anywhere in it. Me and her recently started our very own relationship, and decided to write a fic together. The account (yep, we have an account together too) is called together-in- dreams, and the fic is called pick and choose. She wrote all the Zelda parts, while I took care of link. Anyone interested is more than welcome to read it and tell us what you think. But make sure you give all the credit to her; I just gave her something to work with. This also means that any bad reviews come straight to me, thank you very much. Anyway, on with the point of this; the story. Enjoy!

Sora woke to find Kairi beaming down at him. He propped himself up on his elbows, smiling at her. "So, do I get to know why you're all happy?" he said, stretching. She threw her arms around his naked torso. "You didn't have the dream last night." She laid her head on his shoulder. He smiled. "No, I didn't. Maybe that means its over. I've been thinking. Maybe I should just do what Riku would have wanted me to do." She let go of him, sitting up. "And what's that?" she asked, looking puzzled. "I should just move on. He wouldn't have wanted me to keep mourning him all the time. I'm not saying I'll forget him, but maybe I should concentrate on my own life from now on. She smiled softly, nodding. "You hungry?" he nodded. "Good, I overcooked again. Maybe we should invite that new couple over for breakfast." Sora smiled contentedly, lying back down. "Sounds great. I'll be up in a while." She closed the bedroom door behind her, feeling happier than she could ever remember.

Riku woke up, rubbing his back. He had spent a good part of the night with jagged rocks underneath him. His journey had brought him to a large rocky overpass, the peak of which gave a good view of all the things he'd left behind. He knew he was near home, he could feel it. All he had to do was make the last short few steps of the journey, and it would be over. He shouldered his pack, and, with a slight smile on his face, he started off, Ansem close behind.

Sora woke with a start, he grabbed the clock. It was a little after ten, which meant he had long missed breakfast. Dragging himself out of bed, he wandered down the hall to the bathroom. After a good cold shower and a shave, he got dressed and headed downstairs. He found Kairi reading a magazine in the lounge, wearing a t-shirt and a pair of old jeans. As Sora slumped down in an armchair, she crossed over to him and sat down on his lap. Curling up, she went back to her reading. He stared at her for a long time, just watching her. She looked up to see him grinning like an idiot. She smiled, dropping her book, and kissed him softly. Sighing, she wound her arms around his neck, not wanting to finish the kiss. He held her, satisfied, and together they stayed there for a long while.

As the night drew near, Sora woke Kairi gently. She had been asleep for a few hours, and Sora had just sat there and thought of their future. She woke, smiling as she saw his face. " I was wondering if you wanted to get a movie or something. We could just order it over the phone if you want." She nuzzled back into him. "Sounds, great," she said, her voice muffled by his sweater. She sat up with a start, making that little noise she did whenever she remembered something. It was one of the many things he loved about her. "We need ice cream; I finished the last of it while you were asleep." She giggled. "You know, I don't want you to get fat just as things start going right. That stuff'll go straight to your thighs." She thumped him playfully, and got off of him. He stood, feeling the blood flow returning to his legs, along with the feeling. "I'll be back soon," he said, grabbing his jacket. He wished every day would be like this one.

Riku finally made it to his final destination. It was too dark to make anything out, so he just settled down. He figured he could check it out in the morning. As he bedded down, Ansem crept into a nearby cave. There was a sudden flash, and all that remained of Ansem was the echo of his laughter.

Okay, another chapter done. The next one should be up soon too. As always, read, review, but above all else, enjoy. See y'all next time.
