Chapter two: The trip
I own nothing of these characters or the characters themselves. I own the academy, the end.
They finally arrived at their gate, with only a few moments to spare.
There had been some trouble at security with the man in from of him. He was elderly, and had obviously had several body parts replaced with titanium parts.
It took nearly twenty minutes for him to pass through all checked.
On the way to their gate, Selphie realized that her bag was unzipped when all the clothes fell out, finishing their balancing act and pouring out everywhere.
It took five minutes for them to all scramble around and pick up the clothes, but Sora saw a little boy no older than three dragging along a frilly pink sock that Sora didn't think belonged to him.
"Selphie'll find out later" Sora devised mischievously.
They finally got on the plane, after waiting Wakka to explain to the flight attendess that his blitzball was not a weapon.
"It's a BlitzBALL! Not a BlitzGun!" He argued for countless minutes until Sora walked up, handed the ball to the attendess and calmly said to Wakka, "You can have it back when we get there. Sorry for the trouble, Miss." Sora gave her his cheesy smile and the attendess smiled back. "You kids go on and get your seats, now.
Sora, Riku, and Kairi decided to sit together. Sora and Kairi argued about the window seat when he felt Riku elbow him. "Give her the window seat, that's a major contributor in the girl factor."
Sora glowered. "What makes you think I'm trying to help my 'girl factor'?"
Riku raised an eyebrow. "You know what I'm talking about. It's so obvious."
Sora gave in. "Okay, okay, but lets not talk about it here, please?"
Riku shrugged and went on reading the flight manual.
Kairi leaned her head over. "Riku, are you afraid?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Riku questioned.
"That's like the fifth time you've read the safety manual. And you don't even like to read."
"I do too like to read!" Riku said outraged. "Seeing as this is the only thing to read.
This was not true. There were plenty of magazines to choose from in the seat in front of him.
Kairi settled back down, however, not giving up.
"Let's take a guess on where the school is and what it is like!" Kairi said enthusiastically.
"And remember if you are stuck on an island, make friends with a volleyball, and give it a name." Riku reminded himself not quite softly enough. "Okay." He said in response to Kairi's question.
"Me first!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Okay." Sora and Riku simply put it.
"Okay, we're going to a castle, with a big hedge, a pretty river that flows into a lake, and the inside is ancient and filled with thousands of rooms we'll never even get to explore. That's how many rooms there are."
"Don't you think that's kind of in depth?" Riku said.
"It was a dream I had last night, thank you very much. It was so pretty, I hope that it really is like my dream." Kairi started to drift off into wonderland.
"Snap out of it!" Sora said, waving a hand in front of her face.
"You're turn." Kairi said.
"We're going to a fighting school! Where we learn to fight the forces of evil, and they train us, and we have ranks, and cool weapons, like a keyblade, and we have divisions, and we fight the other divisions and…" Now Sora drifted off into wonderland.
With Sora and Kairi both in wonderland, Riku did not even bother giving his description, because he was afraid of his description. It had to do with mystery, and evil forces lurking within the school.
The rest of the plane ride went smoothly, with Tidus across the hall infuriated that he was brought Sprite rather than Dr. Pepper. There was also a girl around thirteen or fourteen that was crying that she didn't like the cheese crackers that were given as a snack. Kairi couldn't help feel bad for her and went over and gave her some peanuts.
Sora came back with armfuls of cheese cracker packages he scrounged for other people. The attendess he'd been nice to during Wakka's trouble gave him two extra packages too.
The plane touched down where everybody thought it would: the middle of nowhere. An unknown airport without any people walking around, this was strictly an airport for the academy. All anybody knew was that you came when you were thirteen and continued school until you were seventeen, with summer off and an optional Christmas break. There was also Easter Sunday weekend off. This was all in the letter they had received at Destiny Islands. They took an uneventful bus ride to the school, with nobody saying anything, for they were all thinking.
Finally, they arrived at the school, and many gasps arose. It was exactly as Kairi had predicted, but all the other students were gasping in awe, but Riku and Sora were gasping the Kairi was right.
It was a large castle; it looked merely like a college from centuries back. However, it was a school for children not in college, these were ordinary children, for what they thought of each other, but each one of them had received a scholarship there, they just didn't know it.
A/N My last chapter was small, so I went ahead and wrote this one. Please review I have zero even though I've only had the story online for like 10 minutes.
