"Oh, wow!" Kairi exclaimed, looking up at the sky in wonder. Shooting stars flew across the sky, leaving blazing trails in the atmosphere. "So this is what you wanted to show me!" She turned to her companion, a smile lighting up her face. "Thank you so much!"

Sora grinned and rubbed the back of his neck, something he did when he was embarrassed. "It was nothing. I just thought you'd like it." 'It' was referring to the cosmic show that was playing out above them.

He sat down on the sand, and Kairi did, too. "How did you know there would be a shower tonight?" she asked him.

"Huh?" Sora was a bit surprised by this question. "Well… these showers happen every night, so I knew there'd be one."

"Every night!" Kairi exclaimed. "Where I come from…" She gazed up at the sky. "I can't remember much, but I'm pretty sure that where I come from, shooting star showers were rare." Her hand was resting on the sand, in the spot between where he sat and where she sat.

Sora reached across and grabbed her hand. Kairi gasped and turned to look at him. She couldn't exactly tell in the scarce light, but it looked like the young boy's face was bright red.

"I think," Sora said, "that it's rare to be able to sit here and watch this with you."
