Author's note: Hey, hey, hey, I'm back! This chapter is not as long as the last one because I didn't have much time to write it. But, it's when Sora and the others meet up with some familiar people.

Adventure of Dreams

Chap. 5 A Portal

Sora's POV

As we walked across the dark, misty terrain, I kept thinking about going home. But, I knew I could never go back. What happened in my dream was too awful to even think about. It was something I thought could never happen…I just couldn't tell Donald and Goofy.

We reached the gummi ship and were about to get in, when I heard a noise behind us. I turned around, and I saw what looked to me like some type of portal in the distance.

"Look, Riku! There's an opening," Kairi told him, "C'mon!"

They stepped out into the light and found themselves in a barren wasteland.

"Kairi…" Riku recognized where they were.

"What?"

"We're at The End of the World…"

"Wow…It's such a gloomy place."

(A/N: For the rest of the story, Sora's thoughts will be in italics separate from the other parts. It starts below.)

I saw somebody step out of the portal; a familiar face. Someone else came out, too…As they walked closer, I knew exactly who they were…

"Riku, Kairi!" a voice called.

Kairi turned her head and saw Sora, Goofy, and Donald ahead of her.

"Riku, there they are!" she exclaimed.

Riku and her ran toward them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sora wondered.

"Well, we found the key to 'the door' at the island, and somehow we found ourselves at this place," explained Riku.

"Sora, you should've stayed at the island! We were attacked by heartless!" said Kairi.

Sora hadn't known that, "So, they're already at the island?"

"Yeah, we sure could've used your help then," Riku told him.

"Well, now we have your help," said Goofy.

"Yeah," Donald agreed, "We might need it."

"Let's go," Sora stated.

Sora paced back and forth in the storage room at the back of the ship. Many thoughts lingered in his mind. Donald had told him he would pilot the ship again.

Sora sat on a box in the corner, thinking about his horrible dream. He started crying and buried his face in his hands. Then, the door creaked open.

"Sora?"

Sora wiped his tears and stood up. Kairi stepped in.

"What are you ding back here?" she asked.

"Just thinking, I guess…"

"Are you okay?" she was a little worried.

"Sure…I'm fine."

"What've you been thinking about?"

"Not much…" he sighed.

"Sora, what's the matter?"

"Kairi, I…I don't want to talk about it now…"

"Did you have another dream?

"No…"

Kairi didn't speak for a while but then asked, "You didn't tell me everything about your dream, did you?"

"Yes, I did…but…" he gave Kairi a hug, "…I don't want to lose you…"

"Why would you?"

"I don't know…I just have this feeling that…" tears began to well up in his eyes.

"Don't worry…I won't let it happen."

"…Kai, you can't promise that..."

"I know…but I'll try…"

"Kairi…"

Their eyes met, and neither of them said a word.

Kairi gave Sora a kiss, and afterward, Sora said, "Just don't leave me, okay?"

"I won't…"

Author's note: Yay! Romance! Uh, hum…well, in the upcoming chapter they will go to a new world. (Hint: But it's not a Disney one. It's one I made up)
