Navi's laughter pierced the air pleasantly as she watched Riku and Sora wrestle on the ground. Kairi joined her, and began to get up, in attempt to break them apart.
"Come one guys, break it up," Kairi giggled, and made a feeble attempt of pulling them apart with her foot.
Sora pulled away from Riku, and sat fully on the ground. Riku did the same, and sat with his legs apart, and supported himself with his elbows.
Navi came over and sat down next to Riku, and she casually tried to brush some of the sand of his bare shoulder. "That was interesting to watch."
Kairi sat down gingerly next to Sora, "Get use to it, they do it all the time."
Navi smiled, unfolded her legs so they were straight, and she lay back in the sand.
Riku peered over her, "Hey, we're going to the Secret Place, wanna come?"
Navi raised her eyebrows, "No, I'm going to stay here, Cloud should be coming over any minute."
Sora sighed and lifted himself from the sand, "Okay. Come on guys."
He helped Kairi and Riku up, and the three of them started off the beach. Riku turned, "Hey Navi, if you change your mind, it's over by the water fall."
Navi sat up and flashed a generous smile, "Thanks Riku."
Riku nodded, and walked away.
Navi's eyes followed him, and watched him ducked under a rock wall. She frowned, got up, and quickly walked away.

"I still think, no, know, that you like Navi," Sora stated, and traced his fingers on the wall of the passage.
"Really?" Kairi shrieked, and turned, grinning at Riku.
Riku turned sharply, and glanced around, making sure no on was listening, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yep, sure you don't," Sora said, and stopped suddenly.
Kairi continued to giggle and crashed into Sora's back, pushing him into the Secret Place.
The figure was back, this time; it seemed to be reading the markings on the wall. Its pale fingers dance across the markings.
"It's you," Riku jumped in shock. The figure's head snapped around to look at them, and those lips formed into that haunting smile again.
"What do you want?" Kairi demanded, stepping next to Sora.
The figure's head lifted, and the sunlight revealed spectacular blue green eyes that blinked childishly at them. Then they disappeared back into the darkness of the hood.
"Who are you?" Riku asked, stepping in front of all of them.
The figure took a step forward, "you know who I am." The warmth of the creature's voice replaced the chill in the air. Riku knew that voice. It was easily a female's.
The figure frowned, "But don't be afraid, you hold the greatest gift of all. You are the one that will open the door."
Sora gasped, "You! You're the voice in my dream!"
"What do you want?" Kairi demanded again, almost stomping her foot impatiently.
The creature turned its head to the door, this time; a keyhole was etched into the surface.
Riku took a step forward, causing the figure's head to snap back, "Do you have a name?"
The figure cocked its head, "Tatle."
"Tatle," Sora repeated. Kairi gave a nervous giggle, "So, what are you?" She pointed to Tatle's wings.
"Sprite," Tatle said, distracted by the keyhole. She over to it, and ran her delicate hand over the marking. It seemed to glow when she touched it.
Tatle smiled, she seemed pleased.
Riku leant his back against the rock wall; its surface seemed to dig itself into his bare back, as he watched her work.
Tatle moved from the door to the markings on the wall. She ran her hand over a blank piece of rock, when there was a shout from the outside.
She quickly spun around, and walked into thin air.
The noise must have been Selphie's laugh, because it disappeared after a while.
Sora and Kairi went over to where Tatle was standing. There was a marking on the rock she touched. It was a fairy, a small simple fairy with no details or anything. Just a side view of a fairy with antennas and wings.
"Hey, this looks familiar," Sora stated. Riku walked over, it did indeed. But from where?
~*~
"Riku? Sora? Kairi?" Navi poked her head into the small chamber. "Oh, I though I got lost." Riku turned and smiled, "No, you're in the right place."
"I can see that," Navi said, walked in. "This is spectacular, with the markings. Did you do these?" She turned to they group.
They nodded, "Of course we did." Kairi smiled, and put her hands on her hips.
Navi laughed, and did the same. Riku noticed how beautiful she looked in her white bikini. Then he noticed her hip.
The tattoo, it was the same on the wall. He pursed his lips, but shook his head, no. ~*~
"RIKU!" Navi screeched as he dumped water over her lithe body.
Riku laughed and dropped the bucket, "Sorry?"
She smiled, and shoved him into the small are of water behind them.
He toppled over the edge, and fell. "Hey!" Riku drawled, propping himself up on his elbows.
Navi gave a beautiful smiled, bent over and wiped some water droplets from his face, turned, and walked away.
Riku stood up and watched as she walked away, her hips seemed to sway to an imaginary beat inside her head. 'Wait," He thought. He shook his head again, but looked a second time, at her soaking went body,
Why wasn't she leaving footprints?
