Here's the chance of a life
Get Ready
Set
Fly…high
Above the fear of your mind
Go for it
It's hit or miss
Too late for you to quit
You gotta show 'em
How bad you really want this
**Live your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
You gotta work to get the green
On your hopes you must sleep
From your fears
You have to win yourself
It's all or nothing
Give your everything

**SORA'S POV**
Where am I?
I don't know.
Can't remember.
In fact…
…who am I?
I remember the pain.
And…something else
I can't remember.
A promise?
…maybe?
I feel like there's something I was suppose to do.
It's so cold where I am.
It's dark
And I'm scared.
I remember holding someone, I think, not too long ago.
And I felt pleasantly warm.
And it was very bright.
I wonder who it was.
I would like to feel it again before I die of the cold loneliness.
Maybe if I find them, they could tell me who I am.
Maybe they'll give me the warmth I seek.
And the light.
I feel something in my hand.
I open my fist to find a small hand-made charm.
It looked like a small star with a smile across its face.
"Sora"
//…Sora?
Is this the person you're looking for?//
I see a light in front of me
Maybe that will take me to where I want to go.
I'll follow it until I reach that "someone"
//go and find them. You desperately want their warmth, do you not?
Take it, and claim it as your own!//
Remember what you said before?
I'm always with you, too.
I'll come back to you, I promise.
These are the only words that seemed to run through my mind.

**@ Destiny Islands**
A young teen stands on the shore of the beach.
The cool, evening wind plays with her long, auburn hair as she gazes at the velvet sky.
"Sora…"
A shiny tear rolls down the side of her face and she vigorously rubs it away, leaving her cheek a little red.
"No…you promised! I won't forget."
The sun sets and she turns around to return home.
"I'll be strong…"
And she places her hands over her heart,
as if something assured her he was alright.
"…just like you"
It felt as if Sora was standing right next to her again.
Giving off that stupid grin he always gave her.
She wished she could've at least hugged him, or something, before they separated.
Something to remember at their last moment.
In relief, she headed toward the secret place;
Which held the only solid memory of him.
A picture of the both of them sharing a Paopu fruit.
…
As she touched the rocky surface of the picture, a sudden chill ran down her spine. Her heart began to get anxious and she turned around to see if anything was there.
Nothing but the shadows.
She thought it was just the wind. So she sat down and leaned against a rock so she could face the drawing.
And she drifted off into a light sleep.

**Sora POV**
I arrived at a small cavern or something like it.
It was dark again, but still, I could see what was inside.
Small, white markings across every inch of the walls.
Something familiar caught my eye.
One of the strange markings.
Two children were smiling and facing each other.
And they were each holding out something for the other.
A star?
It looked like the one I held in my hand.
I hear something move behind me and I turn around
…
someone was there, sleeping, I think.
I slowly walk up to her.
She reminded me of one of the children in the drawing.
I wonder if it was her.
But, she's crying.
Or apparently she was because her cheeks were pink.
I use my hand to rub them away—
She shivers at my touch, so I pull back right away.
She opens her eyes looks at the "person" in front of her…
(author note: Okay, okay. It may not seem like a cliff hanger until you read the next chapter. Okies? =^_^=)

--Finally! Another chapter done.
I'm sorry it took so long to finish…
No time, no time. I've gotta finish my RISING STARS OF MANGA comic that's due Sept. 1.
--I think I've been watching a "little too much" Fooly Cooly (FLCL).
I'm always jumping on everyone and yelling "FURI CURI!"
…I'm weird…-_-
--I finally got to Riku II on expert Mode. I gotta see Sora--!
Sora: O.o I…what?
Naru: *snaps fingers* I don't want to spoil the game for newbies!
Sora: Awwwwww…but, what happened…?
Naru: I'll tell ya later, Ok?
Sora: Okies.
Naru: *jumps on Sora* "FURI CURI!"
(what the heck does Fooly Cooly mean? Anyone know?)
