I was thinking of doing a sequel, and I got a request for one, so here it is: Scattered Thoughts.

Sora scanned the pier. Riku's boat wasn't among those of his friends. Riku must be at the island, Sora thought, as he jumped into his boat, and rowed his way quickly to the small island that he and his friends shared.

Sora grinned as he pulled up beside Riku's boat. Before he headed off, he grabbed the Paopu that he picked earlier that day. For the past two years, since they had all returned to Destiny Islands, Sora had had confusing feelings for his best friend. But, after a month of barely speaking to him, Sora had come to a sound conclusion: he would tell Riku, and ask if he felt the same.

Ughhh... I wish it were that simple. He sighed and hung his head. He took a deep breath, and started towards Riku's island.

"Oh! Where is he?" Kairi whispered to herself as she searched for Sora. She had seen him come back from the island with a Paopu earlier that day, and she was sure it was for her. Now, if she could only find him...

A sudden realisation came over her. Maybe he was afraid that she would reject him! Even after all those not-so-subtle hints she had given him... He can be really dim-witted sometimes...

She looked around as she neared the pier. Neither Sora's nor Riku's boat was there. Sora must be telling Riku about his feelings for her. I should go check on them.

Sora was nearing the shack when he heard someone shouting his name. He spun around and was pushed to the ground, someone on top of him. He struggled for breath for a moment, and when he caught it, he groaned audibly. His Paopu that he and Riku were going to share was smashed in between him and Kairi.

"Aww! Kairi! I was going to share that with-" Sora caught himself before he said Riku's name. He didn't want to tell anyone yet, especially if Riku said no.

Kairi's face broke into a wide smile and she made an excited sound. "Thank you so much, Sora! I can't believe you were going to share that with me. Oh well, we can get another." Kairi stood up and peeled the sticky remnants of the Paopu of her shirt. Sora remained on the ground.

Sora gazed at the smashed fruit in his hands and on his chest. That was the ripest one I could get! What am I gonna tell Riku? Wait. She thought that I was gonna share it with her?

"Kairi? That wasn't meant for you... It was meant ...for..." Sora let his words trail away. He wondered if she had heard him, since he spoke barely above a whisper. Sora pouted and hung his head again.

"What do you mean Sora? If it wasn't for me than who-?" Kairi cut off abruptly, her eyes open wide. "Was it... for him, Sora?" Sora nodded slightly once, and continued to stare at the smashed fruit. "Oh. Well, then. I didn't expect that at all. For the past month, you've hardly spoken to him. I... don't know what to say."

"Do you hate me now? Think I'm disgusting for... for loving my best friend?" One lone tear slipped out of Sora's eye, and lifted his head to meet Kairi's gaze.

To be continued! I decided to get at least one more chapter out of this, possibly and probably two! It is now 4:30 in the morning and I have to be at work in twelve hours! Good night!
