~Chapter 6~

Crystal woke up in Riku's arms. She loved his gentle touch. Well, she liked everything about him. Too bad he couldn't figure out what Rain had said to them. She was nice but quick-paced and out of line. Her final words to them before they parted last night were still ringing in her head. She got up and walked around the room.
"Home is where the heart is," Crystal whispered trying to figure it out. Rain knew something and she wasn't telling anyone. It was strange, she tried thinking of other things. How it was just yesterday that she had come from the sea to this island. Just yesterday, she had met Riku, Sora, Kairi, Wakka, Selphie, Tidus, and Rain. There were her words again. She replayed when she had walked in on her and Riku. She was talking to them, and she was looking around, then at them. No, not at them, past them, like she couldn't see them.
"Morning," Riku said, "You're up early." He walked over to her and kissed her.
"What else is in the 'Secret Place'?" Crystal asked.
"A door with no way to open. Sora and Kairi know more about it than I do," he told her. Crystal changed into an extra pair of clothes Kairi had given her and she left the house. She found Rain talking to the rest of the island as she got closer she listened to the conversation.
"The Earth was huge compared to this world. So many people and animals. Remember this though, not all people are good. I am and so are a lot of people. Watch out for those rotten eggs though, bad as old seagull eggs as I experienced last night. Thank you Sora for the lovely meal, but seriously I appreciate the hospitality and I'll never forget you. Don't forget me, if you do I'll forget you and everyone I know will think I'm nutty." Rain gave her speech and she took Kairi and Sora down to the Seaside Shack. Crystal followed them. She walked in right as Sora was about to start speaking.
"I need to know what you meant last night Rain, it's driving me nuts," Crystal interrupted.
"Simple Kairi remembers nothing because she's in love with Sora. They have an unbreakable bond between them. It's the same between you and Riku. It's that simple. I remember everything about my home because my heart lies there. Simple as that," Rain explained. "Now Sora, before you were so rudely interrupted, what were you saying?"
"The door you saw in the "Secret Place", leads to other worlds. There you'll find the gummy ship. Go to Hollow Bastion and find Cid. Tell him the worlds are connected once again. Tell him what happened, he can help you. Good luck."
"Thanks, I'll need it," Rain agreed.
