Ch.2

After a hour or two of just talking about his adventures, we decided to go to the clearing where the crash was. I went to my room and got dressed and pulled my hair back to keep my long brown hair out of my face. I headed out the door grabbing my key. Sora walked out before I locked the door behind us.(Better safe than sorry) I grabbed my worn walking stick and we were on our way. I took the lead since he had no clue as to where it was because of him being unconcious when I brought him to my house. I have a natural fast paced stride that not many can keep up with without running, Sora happened to be one of those people who couldn't keep up.

Man, she has a good lead on me now. I ducked under the branches she did and went over rocks and fallen trees. "Slow down, Kimmy!" I yelled ahead of me. I saw her stop in her tracks and I quickly caught up with her. She was leaning on a tree waiting for me. "Slow down, will ya?" She laughed a bit at me. I in reply made my puppy face. She stared at me for a few seconds before she dropped to her knees.

"Oh, I must obey the puppy face. Will do anything now." She said sarcastically and laughed.

I played along and walked in front of her with my head held high acting like royalty. "Yes, all hail the King of Light!"

I continued walking until I was tackled to the ground by Kimmy. We tumbled to the ground until she pinned me.

"What now almighty keybearer?" She had my hands pinned above my head and was stradling me. "Well let's see if you are ticklish." She started tickling my sides. I howled in laughter.

"I... sur-surender!" I managed through the laughing. She got off of me and walked away. I quickly got to my feet to follow but she was already out of sight. I looed around me for any sight of her. "Kimmy! Help me! I'm lost!" I yelled in all directions.

I watched below me as Sora looked all around for me. I had escaped up one of the nearest trees and now sat perched on a branch. He was rather funny to watch.

"Come on Kimmy! Please I don't know my way around here!" He yelled in a direction of where he thought I was. I giggled as I jumped down from the branch landing behind him. I must have scared him because he fell barkwards. I walked over to him and looked down. "You got that right." I offered him a hand and he gladly took it. I helped up as he brushed himself off.

That was awfully sneaky of her! Oh well, she's very fun to be around. I followed as she took off again creful not to fall behind this time. "How much longer till we get there?" She turned around to look at me.

"You know you're basicly saying 'Are we there yet?' but we are here." She pulled back a branch and revealed a clearing that off to the right lay the Gummi ship.

We walked to the ship and I took a brief look over it and all I could utter was an 'oh boy'.

"I could help if you wanted. I never really done anything like this before but I could try." She offered.

"Thank you, but for right now I need to see the extent of the damage." I jumped into the cock-pit and looked at the control panel. "Well let's see, looks like the blue nobby thingy is broken and the red thing-a-magjigger has been crushed and I... I have no clue what I'm doin'" I sighed to myself. "Now how am i supposed to get back? I could always experiment with the ship and there is a very small chance I could get it to work." I fidgeted around with a few more broken levers and nobs before I decided to look at the engines.

After a while i got bored and noticed it was starting to get late so I went into the crash. I saw Sora no where aound so i decided to expore the small ship.

I found a small hallway and walked to a few doors and peaked in. Most of them were storage rooms. One of them seemed to be a bedroom of some sort, I walked in and noticed a few belongings scattered on a dresser. One of them was a old red shirt, that had been torn, was alying on the ground in a corner along with what looked like red shorts. Then I saw a small book, and soon realized that it was Jimony's journal of all the happenings of Sora's adventures, but then I saw another book. This book I didn't know of, so i walked over to it and picked it up.

I opened it and turned to the first page, on it was a picture of Sora, Riku and Kiari on the beach. They were all so happy, I smiled as i read the words under it.

Sora, Riku, and Kiari. Year 2003.

I jumped as a hand was placed on my shoulder. "I see you've stumbled upon my journal. I almost forgot about this picture." I turned and saw Sora transfixed in the picture.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I..." I was cut off by Sora.

"Go ahead. I don't care if you look through there. It's just a few pictures and entries." He walked passed me and layed down on the small bed that was in the corner and stared at the celing.

"Are you okay Sora? You seem... far off." I cocked my head to the side like a puppy would do.

"Yeah, I'm fine just a little overtaken with bad memories. Nothing to worry about." He broke his stare from the celing to me. " You know you're really nice." He said with a small smile.

"What!" I asked as I blushed. No one has ever said anything like that to me.

"You care about others, sometimes more than yourself. At least that's what I've picked up from you."He got up and walked over to me until we were inches apart. " I know I just got here yesterday, but I do know that much. A very nice quality if you ask me." He smiled as he saw me turn four more shades of red.

"Thanks." That was all I could say. He could tell that about me? "Umm... we probally need to be leaving before it turns dark. Ok?" I turned and walked through the door hoping to hide my blush that had already been seen.

He followed behind me as I walked out the ship. I looked down at my hand and found I still had Sora's journal. He stopped by my side and i offered it to him but he only nodded.

"I would rather not have it anymore... you can have it and look through it. I just want ridded of it." He walked past me and was about ready to head off, but he realized he didn't know where to go. "Ummm... I don't know where to go." He laughed kind of nevously and rubbed the back of his head.

I laughed at him and walked past him down the trail and followed me for fear of being lost.
