* SCENE VII *

DREAM # 1 (RIKU)

--Riku sees himself as a cat. A little gray cat named "Kitty". His owner was a fat kid who wears a red jacket and a light blue beanie with yellow trim. "Meow," Neko-Riku would beg. The fat kid would always eat food and never feed the kitty. "No, Kitty!" He would scream. Neko-Riku always was hungry, so he'd meow and then, "No, Kitty! This is my CheeseyPoof chili dog!" His mother would tell him not to be mean to the kitty, but Eric Cartman didn't care. "No, Kitty! That's a bad Kitty!" Neko-Riku planned to kill the fat boy, but decided to kill Kenny instead.

(NOTE: To any South Park fans reading, I know that Kenny's dead for good, sort of. The reference was so that others could relate to the joke and to pace comedic timing. No one would have gotten it if I had said, Butters! No matter, please continue reading. Domo.)

(NOTE FOR THE NOTE ABOVE: I wrote this chapter a long time ago, when Kenny was actually dead dead. He's alive again, so nevermind. Domo.)

DREAM # 2 (SORA)

--Sora wakes up in the middle of a dark alley. "HELLO?" he calls out into the night. Darkness fills his mind and shadows circle him. "You are who?" Shadow1 calls. "The chosen one, he must be!" Shadow2 says. "Why are you talking backwards?" Sora asks.

"Our speech, he notices!" Shadow1 exclaims. "As it is written, the chosen one, sacrificed, must be!" High Priest Shadow says. The Shadow Cult takes Sora off to an island full of dwarves wearing little white suits, screaming "the plane, the plane!" "NO! Please, don't!" he cries. They take him to a platform, strap him to it, and ready the slow pouring molten lava tank. "Die, you will, now!" says the High Priest. "ficeSacra! ficeSacra! ficeSacra!" the cult screams! Sora screams for mercy, but to no avail. All of a sudden, Indiana Riku swings out on a vine, with a rose in one hand a bazooka in the other. He releases Sora, hands him the rose, swings him to safety, blows up the lava tank so that it kills the cult, and says, "Are you alright, my sunshine?" Sora replies, "Yes, know that you've rescued me." Lights dim. Dream over.

DREAM # 3 (RIKU)

--Riku stands on a quiet hill, alone. The wind blows through the distant trees making the broken leaves dance on the air's wing. His hair, strands of white like the hair of unicorns, ebb and flow like a foamy sea. "Echo!" he calls out to the land. Nature replies not. Alone, he stands; alone, no more. Behind him, Sora, walks to the top of the hill. "Riku, why are you standing alone?" says Sora. "I'm not sure. It's like Destiny calls me here to seal my fate. Destiny. She has told me that you would come. Now you're here with me, Sora. Why does Destiny call you?" Riku replied. Sora clenches his hands, knowing what he's there for, knowing why he came. Hoping that Destiny was on his side bringing Riku there. "Riku, if you believe in Destiny, then you must believe that Destinies are meant to intertwine. Maybe that is why you are here, Riku. And maybe that is why I've found you." replied Sora. Sora approaches him slowly and...

Riku: (waking up from dream at a halt) Ahhhhhhh!!!! Good God! Sweet, Jesus! What was that all about? Sekuhara! Sekuhara! (trans.-sexual harassment! Sexual harassment!)

Sora: Are you okay? You seem a little on edge.

Riku: Just had a bad dream, that's all. Maybe it was something I ate.

DREAM # 4 (SORA)

--Sora sees Riku lying wounded on a dusty hill. He runs to him. "Riku, my love, are you alright?" He turns onto his back and coughs, gasping for air. "Sora, is that you?" "Yes, Riku, don't worry. I'm here for you and we are going to get through this together." "Really, Sora? Thank you. (cough) You're so good to me." Sora picks up Riku and takes him to their home. He tends to Riku's wounds while he rests on the bed. "How are you feeling?" "Okay, I guess. Better now that you're here. Thank you for taking care of me Sora. I love you." "I love you too, Riku." Sora leans down to the bed and kisses him. "Sora....Sora....."

Riku: SORA! SORA! Wake up.

Sora: (waking up) What. Huh? Riku. Oh, whoa. That was a weird dream.

Riku: Yes that's fine and dandy, but can you do me a favor?

Sora: Anything for you Riku.

Riku: Could you please remove your arm from my waste? I don't like being held while I sleep, domo.

Sora: Sorry 'bout that. (moves arm)

--They sleep through the rest of the night, peacefully. Morning dawns and they wake up.
