Blah blah blah...I don't own KH or the characters...I'm tired...leave me alone.

Sea the sky

Careful not to fall, I followed Riku outside of the apartment and out to something called a 'parking lot'. I stopped and gazed up at the sky, which looked absolutely amazing above water. I could see the little white puffy things better than ever, not to mention I could feel the warmth coming from the big orange thing. I closed my eyes and smiled, absorbing as much as the warmth as I could. When I opened them again I saw Riku walking towards some giant metal looking...thing. I cautiously continued following Riku and watched as he got out a set of keys and opened the door. He looked back at me and smiled.

"You getting in or what?"

"Uhh...w-what...IS this thing?"

He raised an eyebrow at me and tilted his head to the side. "You mean you don't have cars underwater?"

"No......"

He grabbed me by the hand and led me to the other side of the...thing. He then opened the door for me, helped me in, and shut the door. I glanced around until my eyes came across a series of different colored buttons and knobs. Just as I reached for one Riku came in and gently slapped my hand away.

"Sora, no. don't touch any of the buttons, ESPICALLY while I'm driving ok?"

I sighed feeling a little hurt and said "yea...ok, sorry"

He reached behind himself and strapped himself into his seat. He then placed the key into the key hole on the side of the wheel shaped thing and began to turn it, but stopped when he looked at my face. He let out a loud sigh.

"Alright alright, you can press a button...but you have to wait ok?"

"Ok!"

Right after he turned the key the 'car' made a loud rumbling noise and started to vibrate. I yelped and tried to break my way out of the monster, but Riku grabbed me and quickly strapped me into my seat tightly.

"CALM DOWN!"

I stared at him wide eyed. "But...but...it's gonna..."

"It's not gonna do anything but take us to where we need to go alright?"

"But I don't understand..."

"Well that's fine. You don't have to understand how something works to use it, Sora."

I stared at the inside of the car as it vibrated waiting for its next command. I didn't understand how something so large, heavy and obviously not living could do things. It was all so confusing to me. That's like a dead fish still being able to breathe...it didn't make sense! I turned my attention over to the outside front of the car.

(Hello? Hello?)

Riku put a hand to head and made a pained noise. (OW! Sora, we went through this earlier! Don't talk to me in my head!)

(I'm not trying to; I'm trying to talk to the car)

(You're...YOUR WHAT!?...Sora, the car is NOT alive so forget about it)

(Then how...?)

"Sora stop doing that! It hurts when you do that!"

I sighed in defeat. "Alright, fine." I laid back into the chair and closed my eyes to avoid seeing any more things for me to have to question. As the car started to move I shifted back into happy mode thinking all the wonderful and new things I'll get to see, smell, and taste. Maybe today wouldn't be so confusing after all.

"Oooohh!! What's that Riku? And what's that? OH! And look at that! What does that do!?!"

I thought I was going to explode from having to explain every thing we walked by. The worst part is that we weren't even in town yet...Sora was having some problems in the car (getting nauseous), so I decided to park somewhere near the town and just walk the rest of the way. It would be good practice for Sora, and he could also get a look at what nature above water is like. Little did I know he would question every bug, plant, rock, tree, and animal he would see. Id already had to explain about birds and how they fly about 5 times now and was quickly growing tired from it.

"Riku LOOK! What's that!?!?"

"A squirrel"

"What does a squirrel do?"

"It eats and sleeps and gathers nuts"

"What are nuts?"

"Things that grow on trees"

"You mean trees are ALIVE?"

Much of our conversations went on and on like that. Him asking a question, me answering the question, and then him asking a question about my answer to his question. I was completely relived when we finally reached the town and all of Sora's cute but annoying questions were stopped. He stared excitedly at all the people walking around store-to-store, most carrying shopping bags or having a cute small dog traveling faithfully beside them. He looked at all the different and catchy names of the stores and the different vibrant colors that were in and on them. He watched the sales people walk around trying to get costumers to buy from them, but most having no luck. He smiled brightly and then turned to back to me.

"Can we go in one of the stores? Please please pllleaseee???"

"Of course, pick one"

He looked around until he came across a store with an ice cream cone on it and happily jumped up and down. "Ooh! Ooh! That one!!"

"Alright then"

I took his hand and together we made our way over to the ice cream parlor. Just as I opened the door to let Sora in, I felt a weird...'watched' feeling. I glanced over across the street and met with the gaze of two blue eyes. I smiled recognizing who it was and waved.

"Hi cloud! Want some ice cream? My treat!"

He was a little reluctant at first, but eventually gave in to the invitation. We walked in just in time to see Sora going around asking people questions and clearly annoying the hell out of them.

"What's that?"

"What the hell does it look like?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking"

"Back off bitch, I'm trying to eat here"

"What's a bitch?"

"YOU, NOW LEAVE"

I grabbed Sora and lead him away, looking back to glare at the rude man a few times. I brought him over to cloud, who just looked at Sora and smiled.

"So I take it this is the 'you know what'?"

"Yep. The one and only..."

Sora looked back and forth at me and cloud, and then pointed at cloud. "Who's he?"

"Oh...sorry...Sora this is cloud. He's the only other person that knows about you besides me"

He thought about it for a minute and then stuck his hand out for a shake and said, "oh...well then nice to meet you cloud"

I sighed thankful that Sora had forgotten about the argument we had gotten into about cloud a while back. Maybe now things would go much smoother from now on...maybe. Cloud shook Sora's hand and gave him a brilliant smile...one I personally had never received from him before...and looked Sora up and down. Sora giggled and then turned to me.

"I want to try this 'ice cream' stuff. It looks good...can I?"

I nodded. "Of course...which one do you want?"

He pointed at the picture of the rainbow colored ice cream on the menu board. "That one! Sh-sh-sherbert!"

I got Sora his and then got mine and clouds and picked a table where we sat, ate and laughed for a good while.

I smile thinking back about Sora. I had only left him and Riku about an hour ago, making up some excuse so I could leave. Of course naïve ass Riku bought the story and allowed me to excuse my self. Sora gave me a huge hug and a kiss on my cheek before I left. I reach up to my face where his lips once were and again can't help but to smile. Sora...how have you been all this time...? I sigh and walk towards the ocean, watching as the waves crashed onto each other. the ocean...such a happy place...just the perfect place for a person like Sora.

I looked into the ocean in a hypnotic like gaze and quickly noticed something. Something about how the waves crashed...it was different...it was angry. The ocean it self seemed to have grown darker, and now that I thought about it...I hadn't seen much life around it either. Something was wrong. I shifted my gaze towards the sky and after making sure no one else was around muttered a few words under my breath, creating an 'invisibly-shield' just to make sure no one could see me. I felt the familiar bulge poking out of my back as my wings retuned to me and began to stretch themselves out. Within seconds I was in the air and soaring back to the home I left 2 years ago in order to keep an eye on Riku. When Sora went missing I was told that the only way to see him again was to watch Riku. Riku and Sora were great friends in the past...learning their first words together and learning to fly together...so eventually they would be reunited. The chemistry between them was amazing...I myself was quite jealous. Sora always spent time with Riku, and never me. Then one day...he was gone. He was practicing his flying as usual, but this time something went wrong. A teary eyed Riku had told me that some man with a long 'fork' 'zippity zapped' Sora and made him fall into the water. He said the man said that the ocean was where Sora belonged. Our people tried our best to get Sora back, but the man shot at anyone who came close...even the ones that had helped him in the past. We eventually had to give up and allow Sora to be taken. My mother was heart broken and couldn't bare the thought of her son being forced to live out his life as an 'oversized fish'.

Eventually Riku moved away and had his memory completely wiped of Sora so he wouldn't remember his life above land. I find it amazing how fast Riku found Sora and took him in without a second thought like that, but I suppose it was destiny rather than just fate. As I reach my destiny I think of the look on mothers face when she hears of Sora's return. I smile inwardly to myself. your almost home little brother...

well that's enough for tonight, night night all!

Sora: huh? That's it?

Riku: I think you've asked enough questions this chapter Sora.

Sora: ::scowls at Riku::

Cloud: shut the hell up and go to sleep.

Sora: ::shuts up::

Riku: haha... you got told

Cloud: you too Riku

Riku: y-yes sir. ::shuts up::

Cloud: R&R or else
