Chapter 7-A New Member

The name on the paper was...his. Sora gasped he couldn't believe it. He made it. He made it! The other islanders around him were patting him on the back and congratulating him, but he was oblivious to it all. Time seemed to slow down. It was like living in a dream. But he really was. His dream had come true.

Sora had made his way back to a smirking Aaralyn. He raised his eyebrows suspiciously at her. "Did you know something I didn't?"

"Maybe."

"Aar!"

"Nope I'll never tell. Anyway congratulations. You totally deserve this!"

"Thanks."

"So you going to leave with them?" Aaralyn said indicating the islanders around them, moving towards the Colosseum's doors for a gummy ship had just landed to take them back to Destiny Islands. "I'm sure Kairi would want to know your good news."

"Yeah she would, but I need to talk to Leon and Cloud first."

Aaralyn just smiled in response. Sora returned the gesture and pushed his way through throng of islanders exiting the world, to find his new bosses.

He found them several minutes later standing off to the side, observing.

"You guys aren't going to make me call you 'Sir' are you?" Sora asked grinning up at them. Cloud and Leon had long ago stopped growing but they were still taller then Sora.

Both men returned the grin. "Maybe," Leon said.

"I should have known. The only reason I was chosen was so you two could boss me around."

"Exactly."

"In all seriousness Sora," Cloud began, "congratulations. And be sure to enjoy your weekend because we are going to work your ass come Monday."

"I"ll be ready. We'll looks like I better go," Sora's gaze drifted to the Colosseum's doors which an impatient gummy ship driver was standing glaring at him, telling him to hurry up with his gaze.

Leon and Cloud nodded at him as he took off for the doors. Sora waved at Aaralyn as he ran by.

She returned the gesture and called out," see you later!"

Sora nodded at her just as the gummy ship driver closed the doors. The impatient, overweight, balding man muttered something about not being payed enough for this shit job.

But Sora payed no never mind to him as he found a seat on the ship. Nothing could ruin his happy mood. Nothing. And as interspace zoomed by a small voice in the back of his head said, in a cocky voice, "told you."
