Government Official : There he is! Get him!

Khknight : Well, this is nice. Riku in pain.

Khknight : Awwww. Why did you do that? The government guys stopped torturing Riku.

Riku : groans Dude, why are there like, a hundred of you?

Sora : Here's the final chapter and it's a doozy.

Chapter 9 Memories Never Fade

Early in the Morning

"Kahori? Kahori? Wake up?" Shibo called. "What? What's going on?" Kahori asked as she got out of bed. "Come on. We gotta pack. It's time." Shibo said with his head down, sheilding his eyes. " Oh, let's pack." Kahori said stuffing her stuff in Shibo's bag. "Lets get this furniture down." They brought the furniture down one at a time and brought them to the boat where everyone was waiting. "Everyone ready?" Sora asked. Everybody nodded their heads. "Bring your bags inside and come back out. RIku, Shibo, come wtih me. One of you guys, bring their stuff in." Sora commanded. Sora, Riku, and Shibo headed to the bridge while everyone else headed to the cabins to drop off their bags. Everyone came outside while Sora got the boat to sea. Everyone took one last look at the island before they set sail.

Later

Everybody played games while Sora, Riku, and Shibo took turns on the wheel. "How's everybody doin'" Shibo yelled. Everyone just smiled and said "Okay." "Good" He walked over to Kahori who was staring at the sea. "Hey, you okay? You seem a little sad." Shibo asked. "I just don't know if I did the right thing." Kahori replied still looking at the sea. "Well, what does your heart and mind say? That usuall helps me when I'm confused." Shibo suggested. "Well, my heart tells me I did and my mind says the same. But I can still feel doubt within me." Kahori explained. "I see. I think that doubt is trying to tell you there's something special about the island. Something that you grew very attached to." Shibo replied. "Maybe. Just maybe." Kahori said to herself. "Just remember. your island isn't gone. It will exist forever." Shibo replied as he went inside to the cabins. Soon, everyone, except Sora who stayed in the bridge, went inside to get some sleep. They had been sailing for hours so they wanted to sleep to pass the time.

Way early in the morning

Riku got up and walked down the hallway to check on Sora. When Riku opened the door to the stern, he got one heck of a wake up call. There was another storm but it was much stronger than the last one they encountered. "Sora! Sora!" Riku yelled as he climbed to the bridge. He found Sora stuggling with the wheel. "Sora, how long has it been like this?" Riku asked panicing. "Quite a while. It's gotten way too hard for just me to steer. Grab on!" Sora yelled over the storm. The power and force of the waves nearly knocked them overboard but luckily, they kept their balance. Everyone came running outside to see a huge storm. Riku saw them and jumped down. "Get inside! This storm is way too intense." Riku yelled as he pushed them inside. "No way! We stick together this time!" Tidus yelled. "Yeah! I don't care if I'm scared, I'm helping ya guys!" Selphie agreed.

A Few Moments Later

Riku and Sora allowed everyone to help. Rinoa and Leon held on to the rail on the left side of the boat to shift their weight if they had to avoid something. Cloud and Aeris did the same but they were on the right side. Wakka, Lulu, Tidus and Selphie did the same but they were at the rear of the boat. Namine and Kairi were at the front doing the same. Shibo and Kahori were stationed at the roof of the bridge to navigate and Sora and Riku remained at the bridge. Since they didn't have lifejackets, they tied themselves to random places on the boat but most of them were on the rails. One by one, the waves fell but with each command from Sora or Riku, they avoided them. "Uh, guys? You might wanna check this out!" Kahori cried. Everyone looked up at the horror that would seal their fate. A wave so huge, it would make the Destiny Islands look like bath toys. "Oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttt." everyone gasped. The wave crashed over them, the sank to the sea, and everylas one of them blacked out.

Sometime later

Sora opened his eyes and blinked for a couple seconds. It was morning and he saw something he thought he would never see again. "It can't be." He blinked again. "WOO OO! DESTINY ISLANDS! WE DID IT!" Sora cheered. He looked around to find the otheres floating on peices of the boat like him. "Wkae up guys! We did it!" Sora yelled as he swam to each one of them. Eventually, they woke up. "C'mon, lets get to shore. Put these pieces together so we can get there faster." Shibo commanded. They paddled all the way, singing a song they, ironically, thought about at the same time, Believe by Yellowcard. Eventually, they got to shore. "Aye, what's up with ya lads and lasses" the dockmaster asked when he found them lying on the sand. "Please, not now." Riku groaned. "Why you kids here? You should be at city hall for that emergency meeting." he replied. "WHAT? Can you show us the way?" Namine asked. "Sure, I'll drive ya too." So the dock master drove them to city hall where the mayor was talking about what to do about the missing kids.

At City Hall

"Thanks for the ride!" they replied as they got off the truck. "My pleasure mates, I was getting board anyway." he replied as the drove off. "C'mon, the whole island is probably here." Rinoa repleid as she pushed the doors open. They ran through the hallway passing many pieces of art of Destiny Islands "We will not stop until we find these childre." a voice said at the end of the hallway. "Come on! I can hear it!" Cloud yelled. He slamed against the doors but it would't budge. Riku ran into him but it still wouldn't open. Then, everyone else slamed againset the doors, the doors blasted open, and they came rolling out.

The children you're talking about wouldn't be us would it?" Shibo replied when he got to his feet. "Oh my god!" "Honey!" "I thought we lost you forever!" All of their parents came running to them, hugging them, and telling them how worried they were. Kahori, however was the only one still there. Shibo ran to her and brought her to the mayer who was at the front of the room. "Uh, Mr. Mayor?" This is Kahori. We found her on the island we were stranded on. Well, they found her, then they found me." Shibo explained. "Oh my goodness! Kahori! My daughter!" the mayor exclaimed shocked. "We must celebrate! How about a party this friday? It will give us five days to prepare!" the mayor suggested. Everyone nodded their heads. They went home for a good rest and a new day. That night, after talking to their parents, Shibo and Kahori discovered what happened to them. Shibo was trying to catch a big fish for his father's birthday but as hea was fishing, a storm hit and he most likely lost his boat that day. As for Kahori, she and her family were on a cruise for a family vacathion years ago. Then, a powerful storm occured that separated the family. Kahori was floating on suitcase one way and the rest of the family the other way. Kahori's family floated into a whirlpool which shot out Kahori's father but drowned her mother and older sister. It seems like a coincidence that all these events started with a storm. Ah, well.

Monday

Everyone had a good rest and felt brand new. However, they couldn't stop thinking about what to do about the party. So, the boys met up at Riku's house for some ideas for the party. "I know! A rap!" Tidus suggested. "Dumb." they replied. "A magic show?" Sora suggested. "Dumber." "We need something that requires and combines what everyone can do. I can play electric guitar and sing." Shibo explained. "I'm a drummer." Cloud muttered. "I play a bass guitar." Leon muttered after Cloud. "I can play the electric guitar too and sing!" Riku cheered. "I...well, play the...violin." Tidus replied turning red. "As for me, I'm a vocalist." Sora replied. "We all like Yellowcard right?" Shibo asked. They nodded their heads. "I see something here. Let's play a song by Yellowcard!" Shibo cheered. "Great! Grab your instruments and meet in my garage."So they ran home to grab their instruments while Riku cleared out the garage and worked on something. "We're back! We would've been back sooner but we had to help Cloud with his drum set." Sora exclaimed when they returned. "Great! Put these on your instruments." Riku replied as he passed out decals. "Red Penalty?" Tidus questioned. "It's the name of our band. What do ya think?" Awesome!" Sora cheered. "Come on, lets rehearse." Cloud snapped. So they plaed many songs by Yellowcard, trying to figure out what to play.

Meanwhile, at Aeris' house, the girls were trying to think of ideas for the party. "Maybe a dance routine?" Namine suggested. "It could work." they replied. "We can sing a song." Kairi suggested. "That could too." "We could do both." Kahori suggested. They thought for a moment. "Yeah, let's do that." Aeris cheered. :But we don't know any routines and we need to pick a song." Selphie replied. "We'll come up with something but we need to pick a song now." Rinoa explained. "Well, I was listeningt to the radio and Only U by Ashanti came on. Shake It Off by Mariah Carey came on after that." Kahori replied. "Those are good songs. Shall we use those?" Kairi asked. The nodded their heads. "Okay, so you guys will come up with a dance routine while I get the songs off the internet." Aeris replied as she ran to her room.

Thursday

Both groups worked on their ideas. A couple days before the party, Shibo and the others were walking throught the park talking about what they could do for the party. Suddenly, they ran in to Kahori and the other girls. "Uh...hi. What have you guys been up to?" Shibo asked. "We've been working on an idea for the party." Aeris replied. "Same here" Sora replied. "I got an idea." Cloud replied. "What?" everyone asked. "Well..." Cloud explained his idea and they all liked it so they ran over to Aeris' house and got to work.

Friday

It was the day of the party and the Destiny Islands were going out of wack. Everyone was frantically getting ready for the party. Eventually, everyone was calm. Shibo and the others went to city hall to drop off their instruments that morning so they wouldn't have to carry them that night. There, they found Wakka and Lulu. "Where have you two been?" Tdus asked. "We've been helping get ready for the party. The mayor asked us before we left on sunday." Lulu explained. "Oh, okay. We're going to drop off our instruments for tonight okay?" Shibo replied. "You do that." Wakka replied staring at a plate of cookies. So they dropped off their instruments and went home to get ready for the party. That night, everyone and their families arrived at the party. The boys wore tuxedos with red ties and leather shoes. The girls wore dresses as if they were going to a prom and had extra clothes for the show in bags. When Shibo arrived, it was unbelievable. He didn't have his bandana on!

"Whoa. Dude, I thought I'd ever see the day when you didn't have your bandana on." Sora replied in amazement. "I got it in my pocket. I'm going to put it on later." Shibo repleid as he went inside. Inside the ballroom, they were served dinner and talked to their families about their experience. "Attention please. Attention." the mayor asked on a microphone on a stage in the ballroom. "I would like to thank Shibo. For talking care and returning my daughter. I haven't seen her in years but I always thought she was alive." the mayor started breaking out in tears. "Also, our guests of honor have something for us. "the mayor replied as they went backstage. Sora took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves. Riku, Shibo, Tidus, and Cloud did the same. Shibo put his bandana on and Cloud put on his sunglasses. Leon took off his jacket and lef his sleeves as they were. The curtains opened and they started playing.

I think I'm breaking out
I'm gonna leave you now
There's nothing for me here, it's all the same
And even though I know
That everything might go
Go downhill from here, I'm not afraid

Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe)
Feels to be alone and not believe anything

You can't stop me now
You can't hold me down
You can't keep me here, I'm on my way
I've made it this far now
And I'm not burning out
No matter what you say, I'm not afraid

Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe)
Feels to be alone and not believe anything

Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me)
Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering)
Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words)
This is how it feels to not believe

Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe (feels to be alone and not believe)
Feels to be alone and not believe anything

The audience started clapping, cheereing and whistling when they ended their song. "Thank you, thank you. That song was Way Away by Yellowcard. The only other song we'll be playing is Believe by Yellowcard." Sora replied on the microphone.

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring it down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change or two right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day

The boys took their bows as the audience applauded. They took their instruments with them as the girls came on stage.

Oh I cant wait to get next to you
Oh I just can't leave you alone
Boy you got me doing things that I would never do
And I cant stop the way I'm feelin' if I wanted to
I'm crazy bout the way that you could make me say your name
And if I couldnt have you I would probably go insane cause...

Chorus:
Only u can make me feel (only you can me make me feel)
And only u can take me there (only u can take me there)
And only u can make me feel (only you only you can make me feel)
And only u can take me there (only you can take me there)

Oh I can't wait to get next to you
Oh I just can't leave you alone
Boy you stay inside my mind ain't no denyin' that
And only you could do them things that got me comin' back
Gotta be the realest thing that I have ever felt
And I'll do wat I gotta do to keep you to myself cause..

Chorus:
Only u can make me feel (only you can me make me feel)
And only u can take me there (only u can take me there)
And only u can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only u can take me there (only you can take me there)

Chorus:

And only u can make me feel (u can make me feel)
And only u can take me there (only you can take me there)

Oh I can't wait to get next to you
Oh I just can't leave you alone...

The audience applauded as Kairi walked up to the microphone. "Thank you very much. That song was Only U by Ashanti and the next song we'll be dancing to is Shake It Off by Mariah Carey." Kairi explained as she moved away from the microphone.

Chorus
I gotta shake it off
Cause the loving ain't the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
I gotta shake it off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
I gotta shake it off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake it off
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
shake it off

By the time you get this message
It's gonna be too late
So don't bother paging me
'Cause I'll be on my way
See, I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes
Just ask your momma she knows
You're gonna miss me baby
Hate to say I told you so
Well at first I didn't know
But now it's clear to me
You would cheat with all your freaks
And lie compulsively
So I packed up my Louie Vuitton
Jumped in your ride and took off
You'll never ever find a girl
Who loves you more than me

Bridge
I gotta shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it
Off...

I found out about a gang
Of your dirty little deeds
With this one and that one
By the pool, on the beach, in the streets
Heard y'all was
Hold up my phone's breakin' up
I'ma hang up and call the machine right back
I gotta get this off of my mind
You wasn't worth my time
So I'm leaving you behind
Cause I need a real love in my life
Save this recording because
I'm never coming back home
Baby I'm gone
Don't cha know

Chorus
I gotta shake it off
Cause the loving ain't the same
And you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
I gotta shake it off
Just like the Calgon commercial
I really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
I gotta shake it off
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciated all the love I give
Boy I gotta shake it off
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby and that means I gotta
shake it off

Bridge

Chorus

Bridge

The girls took their bows as the boys came back on the stage. "We have one more thing for everyone and I thank you so much for throwing this party." Sora replied on a microphone. Shibo and RIku grabbed a couple microphones as Cloud, Tidus, and Leon joined the girls.

I'm not sure what I see

She's looking in my eyes, now I see no other guys

When The Neptunes and the Doggy Dogg fin to spit
You know he's in - tune with the season
Come here baby, tell me why you leaving?
Tell me if it's weed that you needing
You wanna breathe? I got the best weed minus seeds
Ain't nobody tripping VIP they can't get in
If something go wrong then you know we get to Cripping

You better don't fuck wit me!
Are you telling me this is a sign?
She's looking in my eyes, now I see no other guys
Are you telling me this is a sign?

Where helicopters got cameras, just to get a glimpse of our Chucks
And our Khakis and our bouncer cars

Shiieet, she ain't gotta be in the distance

From London - to Ibiza. You gotta have Cape Town
You'll have Sunday's with chiquitas
You'll see Venus and Serena, in the Wimbledon Arena
And I can take you (Uncle Charlie, preach!)

Nigga don't be young and foolish
You don't know what you're doing
You don't know what you've lost until she's gone (gone)
And her pretty face, drove you wild
But you ain't got that Snoop Doggy Dogg Style

I'm not sure what I see

She's looking in my eyes, now I see no other guys
Are you telling me this is a sign? (OHHH!)

She likes my tone, my colone and the way I roll (hey!) you ain't no G!
(Ooh wee!) You ain't no G! (oh oh ohh! .. Ooh wee!)

They took their bows and went back to their seats. "Now we have something for you to do." the mayor replied on stage. Suddenly, slow music started playing, the lights went off, and the dance floor was lit up by a disco ball. So they got on the dance floor and danced with their boyfriends/girlfriends. "You know what?" Sora asked Kairi. "What?" "This has been one awesome adventure." "Yeah, it's too bad this will only be a memory." "Don't forget," Sora replied. "Memories never fade."

Khknight : That's it. It's over, sadly.

Everyone : NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Khknight : Did everyone forget my treat? I'm allowing anyone to make stories based on this one as long as it doesn't diss it or anything.

Riku : Really? heh heh heh...

BOOM!

Riku : (groans)

Sora : Don't even think about it.

Khknight : Thanks Sora. And there's one more thing I got. I need you guys to vote for which story I'm going to start. Go to my profile and zoom down to planned stories. I got a bunch there and please hurry! KHK out.
