Chapter 1:

'Our Journey Renewed'

There was a slight breeze wafting about. The sun was as bright burning with a slight warmth, and the waves were just perfect enough to wet your feet. The palms set on the land of the secluded Destiny Islands were swaying, as if they were greeting anyone who walked by with a jolly wave. The only sounds were the lapping of the waves and the cawing of the many species of sea bird. It seemed as if it were a wonderland, to which no one was around to gaze...

"I see it!" A young teen, only about 16, had sat up on his raft. The 2 others who sat next to him had stirred from their silence. The teen, basking in the slowly returning memories, dipped his hand in the crystal clear water around him. He let out a small squeal, for a fish had come up and bit his finger. It had no teeth, so it did minimal damage. 1 of the teens with him, a girl with reddish hair that fell like a cascade to her shoulders, rolled her deeply rich blue eyes, and rubbed her forehead in disbelief.

"You're 16, and you still cry from a fish biting your fingertip..." She said. The boy, pulling his hand out of the water, shook it off and shrugged. The 3rd teen, a teen only a little older than the others, kept his eyes closed, and his arms folded. He took his turn to speak.

"Strange things can happen to one who returns somewhere special after a long period of time."

"Ooh! Another tidbit of information from the Great-And-All-Knowing Riku!" The other boy chided sarcastically. He walked over to his friend and messed up his hair, as silvery-white locks of it stayed in his view. This made him miffed. He stood up, agitated from his seemingly meditative state.

"I was defending you, moron! Oh, wait... I forgot..." he turned to the girl, "He's the Keyblade master! He doesn't need defending..."

"Take that Riku! You're gonna capsize the raft! Settle down!" The girl growled.

All three of the friends were a little cranky, for they'd stayed up a little too long the night before, train-hopping the tops of moving freight trains on the mainland.

"Sorry, Kairi..." Sora said quietly, and sat back down next to her. Riku just rolled his eyes and sat opposite them, and folded his arms again.

"Besides," Kairi continued, "we're so close to the island. You two are gonna hafta jump out and pull the raft, with me on it, onto the shore."

"Why don't YOU hafta help?" Sora said, confused.

"Because, I'm a lady!" Kairi responded lightly, with special emphasis on the word 'lady.'

"Lady-my-butt..." Sora started, "Remember when you won the burping contest at our table at lunch in the 4th grade?" He laughed. Kairi did too. The both of them felt a jolt, and felt something missing. "Wait, where's Riku?" Sora sat up straight, and realized Riku was gone. There was another jolt, and all hell broke loose, or so to say.

The raft, being crudely built by the trio years before, didn't have much stability. But that didn't really contribute, for the reason it had now turned over, was the culprit Riku. He had swam underneath while the others laughed, and pushed up on the side of the raft, sending the pair in the water with him.

Kairi, being the first to resurface, gave Riku an earful first. Spitting out a mouthful of water, she preceded to yell, "Riku, you ass! And me, wearing a dress..." She kicked her legs frantically, finding a place in the skirt to keep her legs free. Sora then resurfaced. He, too, spit out water, and rubbed his eyes clean. But his mood was alot lighter. He laughed, and swam circles around the other two.

Kairi climbed back onto the raft, which had righted itself back up on account of the sail they built. Once fully on, she looked at herself. Her hair, which had been in plaits, was now all messed up. She removed the ties holding them together, and smoothed out her hair. Her dress was clinging tightly to her legs, having been too frilly for the water.

Kairi screamed. "Riku! You ruined my dress! It's torn!" She pointed to it. Sure enough, there was a tear about 6 inches long along the seam of her dress. "Good thing I wore something underneath this..." She said in a thinking state. She quickly stripped off her dress and threw it into the water. Now she was in a pair of shorts above the knee, and a blue tank top. Riku swam closer to board himself back onto the raft, but Sora just churned the water.

"Quit staring!" Sora snapped back to reality. Realizing he had just stared at his best friend 'stripping,' he blushed and boarded onto the raft.

The raft, having been carried by the constant current, found it's target. It landed on the shore itself, having been carried by the waves, saving Sora and Riku some time. The three separated to their own quarters, and rested up for a new day of discovery and remembering.
