There was silence among the three known as Sora, Kairi, and Riku. In front of them on the beach was a Selphie who was younger than all of them. The Selphie that Kairi knows was at least the same age as her. And Selphie just said that they resmembled her friends, only older. If Kairi had been missing for a couple of days, why would Selphie not only forget her but also refer to them indirectly. Fortunately, Selphie's words were not those of true shock, so Kairi was able to find the words to speak up.

"Well, Selphie...Do we really look like your friends?" Kairi chuckled nervously. "I would like to meet them..."

Selphie's next words did not comfort them more than previous set. "Don't worry! They'll be here in an hour!"

Kairi, Sora, and Riku exchanged glances at one another. Within seconds, the three were huddled together in a circle.

"You think Selphie's sister is playing a joke on us?" Sora whispered. "We just got back..."

"She isn't good at hiding jokes." Whispered back Kairi. "Besides, she doesn't have a sister."

"Well, we did come back after we stopped Xemnas." Whispered Riku with some thought. "Could be a last minute trap."

"Nah, Selphie would have been up to date if he wanted to fool us. Maybe everyone's under an aging spell."

"Or we could be in a world that's messing with our memories...where does that sound familiar?"

"Hello...I'm still here!" The trio remembered that Selphie was still there and turned to her. Selphie was bouncing up and down for their attention. "You still haven't told me who you are or how you know my name!"

Well, what would they tell Selphie, if that was who she was? Telling her their names was going to require explanations they could not spare, and pretending to be relatives might be tough if their previous counterparts did exist. It was a good thing that Sora came up with a plan, or so it seems.

"Well Selphie...the truth is..the truth is...we're actually wizards!" Sora replied, hiding behind a smile.

"You are?" Selphie fell for it.

"We are?" Riku and Kairi looked at each other and at Sora, but they made it less noticable so that Selphie would not know.

Sora nodded to Selphie. "Yup. We come from a very, very faraway land where we fight creatures of the darkness and emptiness. The three of us just took care of an evil cult, and to celebrate, we're taking a vacation at this little island..." Selphie was becoming more interested in the story. "BUT...we have a law that we can't show our true faces, and locals would already know themselves. That's why we were casting a spell to make ourselves look like the kids who come here often, but you sort of woke us up before we could complete it. You see, we have to wait until the spell wears off before we try it again."

Selphie lowered her head. "Aw, I'm sorry. I didn't know you guys can do magic..."

Sora patted her on the head. "Don't worry, I don't mind. I only have one thing for you to do..." Selphie looked up at him. "Don't tell anyone about us, not even the ones that look like us, okay?" Selphie nodded. Sora confirmed this with another smile. "Good. Obviously, we can't stay around when your friends come by, but don't worry. We'll meet from time to time."

Saying their farewells, Sora, Kairy and Riku heading towards the inner part of the island while Selphie decided to shift the sands around in order to hide their footprints. Sure enough, the kids started to arrive on the island, and as promised, Selphie did not mention the "wizards" who were at the beach earlier. Meanwhile, three certain individuals were spying from the foliage.


Kairi: "I see us, I mean, them..."

Sora: "Wow, she was right. I guess that wizard story was pretty good."

Kairi: "The reason it was good was because it was Selphie. Though, I didn't think you could even make a story up."

Sora: "Thanks...Wait, what's that suppose to mean?"

Riku: "Quiet, both of you. Sora, you mentioned drawing a star, didn't you? When was that?"

Sora: "It was the day the Heartless came..."

Riku: "...I think we might be in the past, specifically before the Heartless swallowed up Destiny Island. Unless you think it's something else, then be my guest."

Kairi: "Did sealing Kingdom Hearts and Xemnas do this to us?"

Riku: "Most likely. How...I'm not sure. However, we should try to keep a low profile so that we don't affect our timeline."

Sora: "Um...How did our world disappear?"

Riku: "It disappeared when the Heartless found the heart of the world."

Sora: "And if the world's heart is sealed?"

Kairi: "The world should be safe from the Heartless. Why?"

Sora: "Heh heh...Remember when I told you I sealed this world's Keyhole?"

Kairi: "..."

Riku: "...Damnit."
