A/n: Ahha! I'm here with the long awaited next chapter of Iceheart's equal! Disclaimer: I own nothing except Frost and the plot idea so don't sue me! Italics (like this) symbolize sounds.

Riku stared at the newest atmosphere around him and blinked. Frost, however, continued ahead, wading through waist-high sparkling water.

"This is…Destiny Islands," Riku whispered hoarsely. Everything was bright, the sky was blue, the trees were a lush green, and the water was the exact same shade it had been when Riku had left.

"It is? This is where I got my blade," Frost said, still in the water, holding her bag high above her head. Moki was sitting on top of a palm tree, enjoying a piece of fruit that was a bit bigger that her head. She meeped.

"Why is it here?" Riku asked, touching the dock to see if it was real.

"Well, I think Kingdom Hearts builds off memories, maybe some of your friends are around." Riku's eyes brightened.

"Sora is here?" Riku quickly scanned the area.

"Where did you see him last?" Frost touched a cloud and from her fingertips, an exit formed. Riku ran for the secret place and stopped at the entrance.

"Sora!" he yelled and ran towards his best friend. Sora looked up when he was ploughed over by an extremely happy Riku. They both landed on the ground with a small thud!

"Hey Riku" Sora smiled his signature grin.

"He's your memory Riku, he might not remember all that you do," Frost murmured from the entranceway. Riku blinked. She was right.

"What's up Riku? You look happy, you never look happy," Sora asked in a loud voice, with his usually enthusiasm, "And why are you wearing that?" Sora said and pointed to Riku's outfit.

"No reason, I'm just happy to see you Sora," Riku smiled. Sora looked at him curiously but smiled anyways. 'Actually, I'm glad to see you're not dead,' Riku thought and looked at Frost. She smiled slightly at him and left. Maybe she was going to explore?

"Let's go see everyone!" Riku said excitedly. Sora scratched the back of his head. He and Riku both headed out onto the beach and the first person Riku noticed was Selphie. She had on black. That was not Selphie, Sora had explained, it was Selphie's sister, Star. Star was definitely different from Selphie, her voice was deeper, all she wore was black and her eyes were grey.

While Sora was explaining this to Riku, Selphie had come bounding along, knumchucks (?) swinging wildly in the air. Wakka had always warned her about that, flailing those things around and she would end up hitting the wrong person (Riku, for example) and they would beat her black and blue. Selphie was as happy to see Riku as Riku was to see her, except she had a long scar across her child like face. Riku frowned. Where had she gotten it from?

"Star got mad at me one day and she hit me" Selphie explained when Frost cam back into view with Kairi tagging along behind her. Selphie was chattering away, and Sora was fake snoring in his ear, but he saw that Frost was yelling at Kairi. He couldn't hear what they were saying but Frost looked really angry.

"Leave me alone!" Frost screamed, her glasses sliding down her nose a bit.

"No! Where did you come from?!" Kairi yelled right back. Riku raced over and stood between the two as Frost drew her blade.

"I swear if she doesn't shut up, I'm gonna…" Frost said, listing all the things she could do. Kairi became thoroughly frightened and backed off. Frost replaced her glasses. Riku glared at the ground, not really wanting to look at either of them. Finally, he looked up at Frost.

"Don't threaten anyone, no matter how annoying, and Kairi, don't be so bothersome!" Riku said. Kairi stared at him in confusion.

"Bothersome?" she asked.

"Annoying" Riku gave her the definition. Frost sighed and walked away.

"She's as cold as you Riku," Kairi commented. Riku nearly slapped himself.

Frost took a seat on the high balcony above everyone and everything. Moki was next to her, still chewing on the little bit of fruit she had left.

"Have you been eating that all day?" she asked, looking at the little oddly dressed girl. Moki nodded. "Do you ever talk?" Moki nodded again.

"Perfect" Frost sighed and placed her head upon her arms, resting them on her knees. Moki pulled on her cloak and looked up at the girl, offering the little fruit to her. Frost smiled.

"No thanks" she said sweetly and felt like she was talking to herself. She removed the pack from her back and pulled out a bigger piece of fruit. She looked down at the berry she had picked. It was a Lum berry. It had the shape of a heart, just orange and its taste was syrupy and sugary. Moki had floated off somewhere.

Clunk!

Frost managed to stop herself from muttering "huh?" and looked at the thing that had made the noise. It was a strange star item with leaves growing out of the top point. It kinda looked like one of the things on her blade.

"My own fruit" Riku said, clambering up the railing.

"You couldn't take the ladder?" Frost asked, looking to the left, where the ladder rested.

"Never did" he said and sat next to her.

"Enjoy seeing your friends again?" she asked quietly. He looked at her.

"They're just memories right?" Frost nodded. "Then why is Star here? I never knew her."

"It kind of creates a universe, that develops and lives, even if your not there," she said sadly.

"Where's your home world?" Riku asked, knowing she must have some memories.

"Somewhere" she said simply, the Lum berry in her hand growing softer by the minute.

"What does this one do?" Riku asked and took the Lum berry from her hand, pausing for a second when his skin touched hers.

"Uh, it's an ingredient for this thing," she responded, suddenly forgetting all the properties of her berries, "Blocks that make you stronger or change shapes or something." She looked at the star-shaped fruit still sitting on the deck.

"What about yours? That thing," she said, pointing to the Paopu fruit.

"If two people eat it together, their destinies become intertwined forever."

"Sounds romantic," she said, almost mystically, "You ever try it with someone?"

Riku was taken aback by the question.

"No, I hadn't found anyone then," he said and picked up the fruit tenderly.

-~¤~-~¤~-

"How cute" Kairi sneered. Star glared up at Frost with the utmost hatred. They were spying on the pair. Kairi had known something was up when Riku had picked it and not offered it to HER. HE was supposed to like HER, not some new slut!

"Who had known cutie liked nerds?" Star sniggered. Moki sighed indignantly. How dare they call Master Frost a "nerd"? Sure she didn't know what it meant, the Minutians were a peaceful race, but it sounded mean. Moki kicked the evil one's chains. How dare she!

"You mean Grimode!" Moki yelled at the top of her soft voice. Neither heard her. Humph! Moki sounded and floated up to Riku and Frost.

-~¤~-~¤~-

Riku felt a tugging on his flares and looked down at Moki. She looked desperate.

"What's wrong Moki?" Riku asked, just about to place the last piece of Paopu in his mouth. It felt like ecstasy, he could still taste it on his breath. Frost still had about 3/4 of a piece left.

"Evil ones! Down there! They are spying on masters!" Moki said as loudly as her lungs could allow her and jabbed her finger, pointing down. Riku and Frost peered over the edge and saw Kairi and Star staring up at them. Riku felt his face go red. Was he blushing? He had never blushed in his life!

"Hello Riku" Kairi waved sweetly. "How'd they see us?" she spat from behind clenched teeth. Star looked around and saw a little person floating around them, pulling on her eye and licking out her tongue.

"That little runt, I'll kill it," Star threatened through a smile.
