Chapter 13: Where the Hearts Meet in the End

As the group proceeded around the island Riku walked up to Sora, remembering what had happened.

Riku: Sora?

Sora: Hu?

Riku: What ever… happened to Kairi?

Sora: Kairi! I forgot about her! She's fine I left her in the Secret Place, lets go get her!

Sora, Riku, Solder, and Freddy jumped on Behemoth's back and road over to the Secret Place. Sora and Riku jumped down and ran over to it, Freddy sat on Riku's sholder as they walked in. Kairi sat in the corner next to the drawing that she and Sora had made of each other when they were kids. Freddy jumped off Riku's sholder to look around at all the drawings.

Kairi: Sora! Riku!

She got up and ran over to the two. She hugged Riku.

Kairi: I'm so glade you're alright Riku!

Riku: I'm just glade that your alive, Kairi.

She pulled away and looked at Sora.

Kairi: And thank you Sora for saving the day!

She kissed Sora on the cheek making Sora blush.

Sora: I couldn't have done it if it wasn't for the Heartless!

Kairi: o.O The Heartless?

Kairi then noticed the small Heartless jumping back onto Riku's sholder.

Kairi: The Heartless? There still here?

Riku: Only four of them.

Sora: And there all my friends, they aren't going to hurt anyone!

Kairi: Are you sure

Freddy looked at Kairi, she could tell the girl was afraid of the Heartless she couldn't blame her.

Freddy: *to Kairi* I want to be you'r friend Kairi we all do just come out and meet us all, you'll see!

Kairi looked from Sora to Riku and nodded.

They walked outside, Kairi could believe her eyes.

Kairi: What's that?

She pointed at the big purple Heartless.

Sora: That's Behemoth, and Behemoth this is Kairi.

Behemoth lowered himself down to look at Kairi and licked her.

Kairi: ^.^ Hehe that tickles!

Then Wyvern and Solder came up to Kairi.

Wyvern: I'm Wyvern nice to meet you Kairi.

Solder: And you can call me Solder!

Kairi: Nice to meet you both!

Riku: Kairi do you know where Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie are?

Kairi: No I don't, I haven't seen them at all, I stayed in the cave the whole time.

Sora: Well let's go find them!

Then they heard Wakka's voice coming from the shack.

Wakka: Where in here man!

The door opened and Wakka stepped out.

Tidus: You can't make me go out there Wakka! I'm not going!

Wakka grabbed the boy by his pants and dragged him out. Selphie was hiding behind Wakka holding tightly onto him.

Wakka: So ya say their friendly, ya?

Riku: Yes these ones here are anyways.

Sora: They're our friends and they are going to be staying here with us!

Selphie: Well I guess there not to bad… and that small one Riku has there is cute! *She lets go of Wakka*

Tidus: *trying to run away but Wakka still has him by the pants* The big one is going to eat us I just know it! And its' purple like Barney, it can't be good!

Wakka: Tidus are ya always going to act like a little kid?

Tidus: But I don't wanna go near that thing!

Selphie: You big baby, its just a big dog!

Riku: Ha I never knew Tidus was scared of a Behemoth! How sad!

Tidus: It's not sad, and I'm not a baby!!

Wakka let Tidus go, Tidus straitened himself out and looked at Behemoth. Behemoth looked right back at him and took a step closer. Tidus cringed in fear, and then Behemoth licked him.

Wakka: Ha! I think it likes you man!

Selphie walled up the Behemoth and patted the side of his face.

Selphie: Hehe it's kinda cute once you get used to it.

Tidus looked up and Behemoth.

Tidus: I wasn't scared..it.. it just startled me, that's all!

Riku: Ya right you almost wet yourself you were so scared!

Tidus: Not uh!

Riku looked at all his friends, things could get better! He was back to normal, Freddy was there, Sora and Kairi were ok, Tidus was still a big scaredy cat, and he had some new Heartless friends! He was never going to be troubled by the darkness anymore! He hugged Freddy closed to him. And looked down at her.

Riku: I'm glade you're here with me.

Freddy: Me too.

Riku made sure that the others weren't looking at them or listening them, then he looked back down at her.

Riku: I love you Freddy.

Freddy: I love you too Riku!

He kissed her on the head and then walked over to where the others were arguing over who gets to play with what Heartless. Yep life was back to normal for Riku well actually it was better then normal. There was nothing to worry about and now Freddy was going to be with him forever! "Yep this is the life!" he thought to himself.

The group began to play and mess around, all the events that had just happened were in the back of there minds not to be bothered with when there was so much fun to be had.

The End

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well there you go! It's over, I didn't think I would end it here but…. I did so there! ^.^; And I probably will make a story to go between Another Side the Same Story and A Riku Halloween. It will take place during Kingdom Hearts 2 through Riku's point of view just like Another Side the Same Story. But that will be a long ways off. I want to play the game before making it so I can include any cuts scenes with Riku or anything that has to do with Riku in it. But if Riku does not have a big role in KH2 (which I highly doubt) I might not make it. Well I'm sure that he will have a big role so if you want you can give me your e-mail address or put me on you author alert list for when I do start making it. Just give me some time! Like I said I want to beat it at least once so I know what's going on, and the games not coming out until the end of this year! Well see ya people, and feel free to AIM me or e-mail me, like I said before if you e-mail put something to do with my story or Kingdom Hearts in as the subject please. Thank you!
