* SCENE II *
____________________________________________________
--They've appeared in a grassy field with a path in the middle. Goofy and Donald walk behind the others and speak of their journeys. Kairi walks holding Sora's hand @ her left and Riku's hand @ her right, kinda like a girl pimp or a Kairi Sandwich.
Donald: Look at them up there! All lovey-dovey! I swear if I just had a gun...BANG...BANG...screamin'! Blood everywhere!
Goofy: What about the third BANG?
Donald: I ain't shootin' Kairi. No, no. She's mine!
Goofy: Gawrsh, you are funny Donald.
Donald: Call me Donny, it's a new me!
Goofy: Fine whatever, "Donny", but surely you haven't forgotten about Daisy!
Donny: Jigga-what?
Goofy: Your wife!
Donny: Oh, that old bird! What about her, G-Dog!
G-Dog: We've been on this mission with that brown haired midget for over a year! She must be worried about you!
Donny: Hold up, cuz! Fo'shizzle to my nizzle G-Dog. Don't playa hate, participate!
Goofy: Seriously, Donald! We've got places to go! We need to rendez vous back at that castle where we last saw Daisy and Minnie! You've got to plead for forgiveness, and I've got to get my job back! And while we're there we might as well tell Minnie that Mickey's dead...
Donald: And that he's gay!
Goofy: Yeah, I guess that's in order. I suppose a wife deserves to know!
Donald: Wait a sec! What job?
--Up ahead, Kairi and her boys are talking.
Sora: Finally, this is all over. Now we can rest.
Riku: What do you mean? What if the Heartless gets out of there, what if I go all evil again, what if Mickey finally comes out of the doors...closest...I mean doors!??
Sora: Well, at least you're safe, Riku.
Riku: Don't you mean Kairi?
Sora: Oh, yes...Riku.
Riku: Don't look at me like that!
Sora: Like what?
Riku: Kairi, can you please excuse us.
--Kairi walks ahead. Riku and Sora drop back and continue walking.
Riku: What's up with you, Sora? You've got the girl, you're a hero, and all you can do is say how happy you are to save ME!!!
Sora: I don't know what you mean!
Riku: I'm going to ask you a serious question and be honest. I won't judge you. I'm your friend. Now, Sora, are you gay?
Sora: WHAT!?!?! Am I gay? What are you talking about? You've got to be kidding me!
Riku: Just answer the question.
Sora: Of course, I'm n...not...t...t...g...g...but what if I am! I mean I've been having these weird thoughts lately. I don't really care that much about what's-her-name anymore. I mean when you were in those doors I pulled you out of there with my own will, but when it came to Kairi floating away on that island, I just stood there, and even then, I can fly for God sakes! Oh, Riku! I'm just so confused Riku! But how did you know? Are you...
Riku: "Jigoku nai!" (translation: "hell no")
Sora: Are you sure!
Riku: YES!!!
Sora: Okay, but how do we even know for sure that I'm, well, you know? I mean you don't understand how I feel right now! Alone, scared, and the only person that I can turn to, well, is you Riku. You're my best friend, I look up to you, I think I might even...even...what I'm trying to say is...
Riku: What is it Sora?
--Sora stops and stares deeply into Riku's eyes. He stops walking. Puzzled, Riku halts. Sora jumps toward Riku hugging him tightly and crying. Crying so hard that the tears form rivers in his face. Riku is alarmed.
Riku: Sora.....Sora, are you okay? Do you mind maybe getting off me?
--Sora drops to the ground still crying.
Sora: I'm so sorry! I'm such a fool. I don't want Kairi, but if she wants me then this will break her heart! I love her, I do, but, but, oh Riku! Riku, look at her walking ahead of us. She doesn't even turn around. She's beautiful isn't she, isn't she Riku?
Riku: Oh, yeah!
Sora: But I don't feel that I love her the way I should, Riku. I guess you were right, Riku. I guess that you are right.
Riku: Don't feel bad, Sora. This is not your fault, it's no one's fault. But if it was someone's fault, it would be Mickey's. Anyway, Sora, you are going to have to tell Kairi the truth. If she truly cares, then she'll understand. Don't worry Sora, everything's gonna be just fine.
Sora: Do you care, Riku?
Riku: Yes, of course, Sora. I'm your friend.
Sora: Domo, arigato-gozaimasu, Riku. (trans.: "Thanks, thank you very much, Riku.")
Riku: Practicing your Japanese?
Sora: Hai! (whispers) Koishiteru. (trans.: "Yes!"... "I think I'm in ____." --You figure out the blank)
Riku: What? "You think you're in" what?
Sora: Oh, nothing...(whispers)...ai.
Riku: Huh?
Sora: Ai...I......I am ready to get home now.
Riku: Oh, me too!
--Riku helps Sora off the ground. Sora dusts himself off and hugs Riku once more. He whispers one last thank you into his ear and holds his hand for one split second only to slip something into his hand. He backs up, smiles and continues to walk forward. Riku stops, dead in his tracks, quite in shock by the hug, whisper, and the hand thing. He realizes that there is something in his hand, he opens it slowly and saw it. The "paopu", the star shaped treat, the same one that he gave to Sora so long ago. "He kept it," he thought. Riku stood there puzzled staring at Sora growing ever so far with each step. He noticed the waves that the grass made with the wind. He noticed how far Kairi was and that Goofy and Donald had passed them long ago. He felt for Sora, and sadness fell through his body and made him feel heavy and weak.
Riku: I'm sorry, Sora. Sorry that you so are alone.
