"Wow!" Sora exclaimed as he walked through a cave with ice stuck on the wall.

"Sora calm down. It's not that cool," Riku said as he watched Sora. Sora, on the other hand, paid no attention to this comment as he continued to make faces and change his reflection (A/N: Haven't you ever done that in those silly mirrors? You know, where you move and your neck gets longer and your head gets bigger or somethin like that?)

"Man this is so cool!" Sora said, his grin getting bigger. Riku, on the other hand, just smirked at Sora's child-like reaction. When they were younger they would go to carnivals with these types of mirrors. He had thought that Sora would have grown out of that by now, but he was definitely wrong.

"Hey you guys, guess what? He finally found the way out," Riku said as they approached the others.

"Found my way out of what? Sora questioned, confused at this statement.

"Never mind. His physical form may be here, but his mind is still lost in the closet. Either that or it's still in bed."

"Hey! I was never lost in the closet!

"Suuure. Well either way we gotta start training. You never know when another threat'll come upon us or the town.

Those yellow eyes just stared at me. I expected it to attack me the moment I saw it, but it didn't. They stayed like this for what seemed like an eternity.

"This will not be the last time that you shall see me, princess," it said before it left. Finally Kairi let out a long held worry breath.

'They're back,' she thought, ' but that means-'


Geez, it...doesn't have... to be ...five...against...one...ya know," Sora panted. They were doing a free-for-all for about and hour, but then Riku got everybody to go against Sora.

"It's your fault. If your weren't late it wouldn't be five to one," Riku replied smartly.

"That's not true! You guys just like to gang up on me!"

"How long did it take you to figure that one out genius?"

"Why you li- Ow!" Sora rubbed his head as Mickey smirked.

"Should have been payin' attention," Mickey laughed.

"Why you! That's it you're all goin down!"

"Uh-oh. Sora's gonna get us you guys," Riku laughed, soon follows by the others.


'But that means that Sora found Riku and they'll be back really soon!' She nearly shrieked and tears of joy began to form in her eyes.

"I gotta tell the others!" Kairi ran out of her room and began looking frantically for Selphie, Wakka, or Tidus; yelling for them at the top of her lungs. Finally she found Selphie relaxing. Because she hadn't yelled close enough for Selphie to hear her, she figured that this was the perfect time for revenge.

"Hiii!"

"Aaaaagh!" Selphie screamed as she fell into the water. "Hey don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry Selphie but you looked so vulnerable; so quiet and calm."

"Hey no fair! I'm not up there on the dock with you to smack you!"

"Nope!"

"What's with you tonight" You're so happy...I like that."

"Well there was a meteor shower recently."

"So?"

"There was a storm last time the door was opened."

Soooo?"

"Sora probably opened the door!"

"Where are you going with this?"

"Sora found Riku and he'll be back here soon!"

"Aaaaagh!" Both girls screamed out of pure excitement, then just stayed there and spoke of the good old times.

"Remember when we all went to that amusement park and Sora got freaked out when it was your guys' turn on Space Mountain? You had to beg him to go on!"

"Yah he almost threw up on the ride, but he loved it so much!"

"Oh, and remember the time Wakka took us all on my dad's boat and we went inner-tubing!"

"Riku looked so funny when Sora suddenly made the boat go 30 knots from 20! He was so surprised that his fingers totally slipped off of the handles and he completely wiped out!"

"Then when Riku swam up to the boat and Sora tried to help him up, but he just pulled him in and dunked him sooo many times!"

"Yah, that was a classic," Kairi sighed.

"I can't believe that they're actually coming back!"

"I know, it's like a dream come true!"

"You'll finally be able to tell him how you feel, too."

"But what if he's different? What if those two years alone made him cold? What if he isn't the same fun-loving Sora that I used to know? What if he isn-"

"Kairi, Kairi chill," Selphie said putting her hands on her shoulders to clam her down. "He'll be the same. If there's anyone who has ever been on this island that's never gonna change it's definitely him."

"Promise?"

"Promise."


"Ha! I cornered you! Now what are ya gonna do Riku?" Sora said with a huge grin on his face.

"You forgot one little detail," Riku smirked.

"And what would that be?" Sora said, confidant that the one little detail probably wouldn't help Riku at this particular moment. But as his confidence began to grow, Riku pointed to something behind him.

"There are four other people Sora."

"Uh? Oh crap I forgot about them! Aaaaagh!" While Sora ran around trying to avoid getting hit with a shield, Keyblade, or magic, h heard many encouraging comments such as, "Come back here you chicken!" or, "When I catch up to you you're toast!" and, "I'm gonna show you what happens when you talk real big like that!" He ran around hearing these for about two minutes when he suddenly bumped into somebody. 'Crap,' he thought.

"Hello Sora," Riku said with an evil grin on his face.

"What is going on in that mind of yours?" Sora asked nervously as he slowly backed up. He eventually backed up into a wall and all of the others pummeled him.


"You know, you guys didn't have to hit so hard. I have a headache now," Sora wined while rubbing his head.

"You had it comin' Sora," Riku said as a matter-of-factly.

"I did, huh? Now why is that?"

"Hang on, our food's comin'." (A/N: If you haven't noticed, they're at Harlings)

For the next hour and a half they ate and argued over how hard they should have hit and stupid stuff like that. Once they had finished talking and had paid the check, they all decided to go and get some rest.

"Tell him, he needs to know and now," Senshi whispered firmly to Riku before going inside.

"Um, Sora? I, uh, gotta tell you somethin', uh, alone."

"Uh, okay. Is-is everything alright?"

"Well Sora it's like this," Riku began. As soon as he took in a deep breath, it began to rain, and hard. About thirty seconds after that it began to get really windy, and the effects of thunder and lighting were added.
