"I am so bored! We should have brought our videogames!!" Sora considered.

"And plug it into what, Sora?" Kairi reminded him.

"Oh yeah, heh, no plugs" Sora smiled sheepishly.

"Hmph," Riku muttered something while smiling and staring down at something.

Sora looked over at Riku and couldn't see what he was doing, so he walked over to him.

Sora gasped. Riku realized that Sora was looking at him and hid whatever he had behind his back.

"What is it?" Kairi asked, concerned.

"A Gameboy!!" yelled Sora. "I just realized I left mine at home. We have to go back!!!"

Riku and Kairi looked at him like he was crazy. Sora was silent for a few minutes so everyone went back to what they were doing. Just then, Sora sneaked up behind Riku.

"You know, sharing would be a VERY nice thing to do," he whispered.

"GAH!!"

Riku jumped, startled, and almost dropped his Gameboy into the water. He caught it before it hit the water, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Share? It's mine! You should've brought yours!" he refused.

Kairi walked over and watched Riku, "Oooh I love that game!! Come on Riku! Let us try!"

"Yeah Riku! Two against one!!" Sora agreed.

Riku sighed in defeat and handed Sora his Gameboy.

"I get a turn in a few minutes, Sora," Kairi stated.

Sora just nodded in response. After a while, Kairi sat down and took out a purple string. She then found the bag of beads she brought and started stringing them onto it. Riku sat and stared out at the ocean.

'Nothing but ocean...Is there anything out there?' he wondered.

He lay down on his stomach, and propped his elbows up, staring into the abyss. He saw shadows in the water; some darting to and fro, and some inching along in a sort of sluggish pace.

'Fish,' he thought, 'They're bigger than the ones at the island.'

He stuck his hand in the water, drawing unrecognizable patterns lazily, with his hand. He stopped suddenly.

'I wonder how friendly they are.'

He got up and took a small piece of bread and threw it into the water. After a few seconds, a fish popped its head out and stared at him. He stared back, getting a little closer to it. The fish smirked at him mentally. When Riku got even closer, the fish squirted him in the face. And playfully swam away. Surprised, Riku just sat there, staring. He snapped out of it when he heard Sora and Kairi laughing hysterically. They had been watching him the whole time. He frowned at them, but really wasn't that upset, as he wiped the water off his face.

"Those fish seem really smart," Kairi remarked, becoming serious.

Sora was still laughing.

"Okay Sora it's not that funny!" said Riku.

Sora finally stopped laughing, and handed the Gameboy to Kairi.

"Here, you can play now"

"Thanks Sora," she obliged.

Sora walked over to Riku who was staring at the now setting sun. Riku turned and watched Sora as he sat down beside him. They both watched the sun until it was out of sight.

Sora broke the silence, "I'm so bored!!"

Riku rolled his eyes at him, but what he was really thinking was, 'ME TOO!!'

"Let's play I Spy," suggested Sora.

"...You have got to be kidding..." When Sora didn't respond Riku sighed exasperatedly.

Hours later they decided to get to bed.

"Good thing none of us usually falls out of bed," Kairi commented.

They all laughed a little at that, and then got into their sleeping bags. Riku fell asleep first because of the lack of sleep he had the previous night on the beach.

Riku woke up in the middle of the night, alarmed.

'Something's coming; I can feel it,'

Riku stood up and looked at the other two. Just as did, the raft jerked harshly, being bumped by something, causing Riku to lose his balance and fall back down. Kairi and Sora woke up.

"Riku, what's going on?" asked Sora, fully awake, now.

"I don't know. Something just bumped our raft."

They peered into the water and saw a gigantic shadow swim under the boat. Then, as if on cue, a gigantic, black sea monster erupted from the water. It's roar was deafening.

"Look, Sora! It has a Heartless symbol on it's chest!!" Riku shouted above the monster's roar.

Sora gasped as he saw it, "A Heartless?!"

The monster swung its enormous tail at the three, but they all managed to dodge it.

"It's going to destroy the raft!" Kairi screamed.

Just then, Riku's and Sora's keyblades appeared in their hand. They paused for a moment in surprise, but then prepared to attack the sea monster. Realizing that there wasn't much room to fight on the raft nor could they reach the monster from there, Riku got an idea. The monster reared its head back and then lunged, snapping its mouth at them. Sora barely dodged it while knocking Kairi out of the way, whil Riku Jumped up onto its head. He ran to the back of it where spikes jutted from the back of its neck and heald on tight to it. The monster began furiously flinging its head around, trying to shake Riku off, but he kept his grip on it.

"Sora! Distract it! Keep it busy for me!" he instructed.

Sora nodded and began yelling at the monster to get its attention. Riku began to think of a plan.

'It's chest where it has the Heartless sign is its weakness, so how do I get to it?' he wondered. 'I could climb down the spikes on its back, but how do I get to the front? Argh!'

The dragon jerked, almost causing Riku to fall off.

'Woah, that was close. I don't want to fall into the wate- ...wait, the sign on its chest is almost at water level. I could reach it from there! Of course! I should have thought of that in the first place.'

Riku climbed down some of its spikes to get closer to the water and jumped off. He dove into the water and swam toward the front of the monster. It roared loudly and flailed around. Riku glanced over at Sora to see him shooting fire blasts at it. Though the monster was angered, the fire barely caused any injury to it. As a reward for his actions, Sora was forced to dodge a few swings from its tail. Kairi was sitting at the farthest edge of the raft, safely away from the monsters tail since it barely even noticed Kairi at all. Riku had gotten to the front of it and was now getting ready to attack it. He raised his keyblade as it powered up with magical energy, and forcefully plunged it into the monsters chest. It shrieked horribly and started sinking rapidly into the water, flailing even more rapidly now. It slammed its tail into Riku, and they both plunged underwater. Riku sat dazed for a few seconds underwater, but then woke up and began swimming to the surface. Before he could reach air, something grabbed his ankle. He looked down to see the monsters tail wrapped around his foot. It was still alive. One of its claws slashed at him. He tried to swim out of the way, but the monsters tail held him in place. Its claws hit him dead on.

'Ah! What am I going to do? Not only am I unable to dodge its attacks, but I need air! And fast!' he thought worriedly.

Right then, he saw Sora swimming down towards them. Sora looked at Riku's panicked face and saw the monsters tail around his ankle. He swam towards its chest for one last blow. Seeing as its tail was preoccupied, the monster swung its claws at Sora, but he swam out of the way of them. Riku was getting dizzy now and his vision blurred. He could not hold on much longer. The monster snapped its jaws, chomping at Sora, but again, he dodged it. He was at its chest now. He pulled his keyblade back, just as Riku had done, and stabbed it into the monster. Riku's dizziness grew until his vision darkened and he closed his eyes. The monster howled and released its grip on Riku as it sunk, finally dead, into the dark water. Sora swam as fast as he could over to Riku, who was now floating limply in the water. He grabbed Riku and brought him to the surface. Sora gasped when he reached the air, breathing hard as Riku began to cough, breathing hard as well, opening his eyes. They both swam to the raft to see Kairi waiting for them.

"Sora! Riku! You're back! I was so worried!" she exclaimed.

They both smiled while still catching their breath, climbing on to the boat. Kairi looked at Riku and gasped.

"You're hurt!" she cried.

Sora looked at him and saw a bunch of gashes bleeding across his chest, on his arms and some on his face.

"Ouch! Riku, what did you do down there?!" Sora asked, being a little sarcastic.

"We have to bandage you up," said Kairi.

So they began to bandage Riku's wounds. All the time Riku, thinking it wasn't that big of a deal.

After it was all over with, they lay back down.

"So, the heartless are back, huh?" Sora thought.

"I guess so," complied Riku.

"What do we do if some more attack us tonight?" Kairi asked.

"Well, I guess all we can do is go back to sleep, and deal with it when the time comes." Riku advised.

So they went back to sleep, and nothing else bothered them that night.
