* SCENE XIX *

______________________________

--Kairi and Knuckles continue down the road to Destiny Island "hand in hand."

Kairi: I used to always think that I was going to be alone in the world after Sora told me he was gay. But now...(hugs Knuckles) I have you.

Knuckles: That's sweet Kairi.

Kairi: Hmmm...Kairi the Echidna...does it sound good on me?

Knuckles: Huh?

Kairi: Nevermind. Let's just keep walking together, okay?

Knuckles: Sure...um...okay...don't start movin' too fast. Don't go messin' with your name until you see a ring on that finger.

Kairi: You don't have to be a f***in' jerk about it.

Knuckles: Let's just keep walking.

--As Knuckles and Kairi continue down the road, they get ever closer to the island.

Knuckles: Only one or two more miles.

Kairi: Finally. Only twenty more minutes of walking.

Knuckles: When we get there, we can stay at a hotel.

Kairi: That would be great. Hmmm...

Knuckles: What?

Kairi: Just wondering how Sora and Riku are doing.

Knuckles: (jealous) Oh. Yeah.

Kairi: I was thinking about your joke.

Knuckles: My joke?

Kairi: The one from earlier...about them, ya know?

Knuckles: Oh, sorry.

Kairi: Well, let's keep walking. We're almost there.
