Chapter 3:Destiny Calls

"Wow! A Keyblade," I gasped. It was the most amazing weapon I'd ever seen. How I would've killed to just hold it.

"Okay now I will start answering your questions, but I have one rule," said Mickey.

"What's that?" I interrupted.

"You must be happy with whatever answer I give you," he answered.

"Okay? Firstly, Who was that man in the hood?" I inquired.

"That," Mickey said, "was an evil force that you will learn about later."

"Huh? What does that mean?" I asked.

The King replied, "Remember my rule."

"Oh right... stupid rules!" I exclaimed. "Okay, second question: What happened to my family, my friends and my world? I feel so lost without them." For a moment I seriously felt sad, helpless and confused.

"You will see them again some soon others at the end," he stated.

"Okay, third question..." all of a sudden I was cut off by a scream. "Heartless!" Seriously how was I supposed to know what the heck a Heartless was... I had only been awake here for about two hours and we had already run into trouble! Mickey had already run outside, so I ran to join him.

Everything around me had changed, people were running around frightened, the usually clear sky was cloudy and the castle looked haunting and dark. Running to see what Mickey was doing, I saw what a Heartless was.

"It can't be..." I said. It was though, the dark thing that emerged from my shadow was the Heartless! Mickey ran to face the Heartless with his Keyblade in hand.

"No!" I shouted. He stopped and I walked over to the Heartless.

"You want me? Come and get me! I said. The thing stood up high and used its dark forces. I was being lifted off the ground, everything was a blur. Flying through space again I thought. Then I blacked out.

Waves were crashing all around me, I was lying on a beach with the girl I liked sitting beside me. We talked for hours on end, then all of a sudden I heard a high voice "Wake up, please don't be dead!"

I opened my eyes. Sunlight was all around me, waves crashing in front of me and I was lying on the beach, there were these people standing around me. One a kind of cute girl with red hair about 14 or 15. The others were guys: one with chestnut hair and blue eyes, the other was a tall boy with silver hair and blue-green eyes. Once the girl saw me awake she threw her arms around me and said, "Thank goodness your okay, we thought you died!"

"Kairi, give the guy a bit of room, he just woke up," said the blue eyed one.

I sat up coughing, my injuries were worse, way worse, I think I had another black eye to match the other one and many scrapes, cuts and bruises. "Where am I?" I managed to get out.

"On Destiny Islands," said the silver haired one.

"First to Mickey's Palace and now here what the heck is going on here?!" I shouted.

"I don't know," said Kairi, "but this will be your new home until we can get you back to your old one. Allow us to introduce ourselves I am Kairi, as you know, this is Riku (motioning to the silver haired one) and Sora (the chestnut haired one)."

"Hi," I said.

"Hello," said Sora and Riku.

Through the course of the day I got acquainted with the three good friends, and I'm proud to say that I could call them friends by the end of the day. At night I saw Kairi and we started talking together.

"So Dude, is it all right if I call you dude?" she asked.

"Sure all my friends do it," I replied.

"Okay, thanks." She smiled "So where did you come from before you came to this island?" she inquired.

"Well, I came from Toronto, a city in Canada, all my friends lived there..." I stopped and thought of my friends man I wished they were here right now just to have them here, to talk one last time.

"You must really miss them," Kairi said.

"Yeah," I said quietly.

"Well you don't need to worry because we'll be your friends," she added.

"Really?" I asked with shining eyes.

"Yes," she answered. then she gave me a quick hug and told me "Come on you can stay at my house tonight."

"Thanks Kairi," I finished. The day had been a good one, I had made some new friends and somehow while looking at the beautiful sea I knew I would go home someday.

I woke up groggily the next day. the sky was dark and I felt I knew something eerie about that dark sky.

"Good morning you lazy bum," said Kairi who was holding my breakfast.

"Thanks Kairi," I said. The food was delicious! I could eat this any day. "You're a good cook," I said.

"Thanks."

Once I had finished we both went down to Riku's island where we met Sora and Riku, who were practicing sword fighting with wooden swords.

"They do this every day," she said.

"Okay," I said. I felt kind of out of place, I wasn't that much of a fighter, sure I had taken karate a lot and fencing once, but still not good enough to beat these two I thought.

"Hey Dude," said Riku, "You want to have a go?"

"Um... I don't think so..." I said.

"Come on I'll go easy on you," he said.

"Okay," I said reluctantly. We started off in the position while Sora said "GO!" All of my fencing abilities came alive as I slashed harshly at him. He came back at me with equal strength and swift attacks. In the end though it was me who had the upper hand as I slashed with amazing twirls and menacing moves. After it was all done we were all tired out.

"Nice moves," he said, "I was going my hardest."

"Thanks," I replied. It was nice to be complimented by someone especially after just arriving in a new place.

"Wait what the heck is that?" I heard Sora say. I looked up at where Sora was pointing and saw my shadow flying through the sky. Only this time it held the girl I liked in it's hand. My shadow dropped the girl and she fell straight for the water.

"No!" I yelled and dove into the water. I swam as quickly as I could and got beneath her she fell straight into my arms. She was unconscious maybe dead! "Wake up Kai!" I yelled. "Come on please wake up!" I brought her to shore. Minutes seemed like hours as I waited for her to wake up.

Gosh she was beautiful! Even unconscious she was still beautiful, blonde hair, brown eyes just everything. Moments later her eyes fluttered. "Dude? What are you doing here?"

"Look Kai everything's going to be okay. This is Riku, Sora and Kairi," I said introducing my friends. "And this... is Destiny Islands.

"Okay..." she said looking quite confused.

Look we should really get her fixed up don't you think?"

"Yeah," they all agreed. So we went inside and tended to her wounds. For the rest of the day, all five of us hung out and got to know each other. At the end of the day I met Kai (the girl I liked down by the beach while everyone else was in their homes.

"Hey Dude," she said.

"Hi," I replied.

I'm still really confused about this whole thing that's happened," she stated.

"You're not kidding," I agreed. "Dang! I so miss everyone!

"Me too," she said. "Dude, I never thought I would say this, but I like you," she said blushing.

"Well you know what," I told her, "So do I."

Then and there my face go hot as I looked into her eyes. We leaned closer to each other, I felt my arms wrap around her and her me. I felt my lips touch hers and we kissed under the moonlight. I knew then and there that this night was ours.

Authour's Note: Okay it took me so long to write this stupid thing and personally I think it's way too uneventful shall I say. Yes it kind of is a romance story so expect some stuff to happen. Hope you all like the new chapter! PEACE OUT!
