Sora: I guess now it's just us.

Riku: Yup. Well, let's go, "left."

Sora: When do you think you'll be able to walk again.

Riku: Pretty soon; within a half hour. By then the initial numbing will go away.

--They head down their dusty trail.

Riku: I was curious. Um, what happened down there in that weapons shed thingy?

Sora: Huh?

Riku: Did you just grab some guns and go, or did you two talk?

Sora: Oh, yeah, I guess we talked a little.

Riku: Just tell me what happened!

Sora: Okay! She said that she truly cared about me. She even said that she loved me. She kissed me and hugged me and started to cry. I didn't know what to say, but I thought about what you told me, Riku. I told her the truth. Then she thought it was all her fault. I reassured her and made her feel confident again. That was it.

Riku: Is she gonna be okay?

Sora: Yes, I think so. But the question is, will you be okay? You're walkin' pretty funny there.

Riku: No, I'm fine. You know, you don't have to do this. I don't want to be a burden to you.

Sora: Trust me, Riku. You're not. What are...friends for if they can't help each other out? Am I right? And you've helped me out more today than anyone else.

Riku: Really? Thank you. That's very nice of you to say. You know, it's kinda funny!

Sora: What?

Riku: Well, it's kinda funny that you're gay and yet you got kissed twice today by Kairi.

Sora: Four times if you count the kiss she blew and...

Riku: And what? Explain Mister.

Sora: Nothing. I just kinda kissed her that's all.

Riku: What?

Sora: Are you mad?

Riku: No, no. I guess not.

Sora: Are you jealous?

Riku: What's that suppose to mean?

Sora: Sorry, drop it.

--They continue to walk, bringing happy memories on the island and of their travels. It starts to get dark.

Riku: Remember that one time?

Sora: Oh, yeah! That was funny!

Riku: Hey, it's getting pretty dark!

Sora: We should probably get some rest!

--They both reach into their pockets and pull out a "Pocket Travel Sleeping Bag©."

Riku: Crap! These things are tiny!

Sora: They're not that bad! What else can we do?

Riku: I guess we could put them together.

Sora: That would work. I promise that I won't act weird or anything.

Riku: I trust you. (under breath) Sort of.

--They shared the sleeping bags and slept through the night. However, both had many weird dreams...
