Chapter 7
A couple more days went by and Sora showed Riku many ways to have fun. Riku had changed. He had learned to stop being so serious. However, he realized the next day that he had forgotten something very important.
"Shit!" Riku said angrily. He forgot all about when he said he would hang out with Hayner and Kairi on Friday. It was Sunday now. As he went to grab the phone and call them, the phone rang. Kairi's number appeared on the phone. Riku answered the phone.
"Hello?" said Riku.
"You didn't come..." said Kairi, seeming sad. "We called you the night before to see if you were still gonna meet us, but you never answered the phone. Then we called the next day, and the day after! Where were you?"
"Kairi, I'm really sorry! I have a reason."
"You know, Hayner and I tried to be nice and not leave you out, but you completely ignored us!"
"I've...been hanging out with Sora..."
Kairi was silent for a moment, but then said, "Were we replaced just like that? Now Sora's more important to you?"
"No, listen! He's...helped me. I've changed! But he's helped me so much that I've been losing track of time! Please, forgive me."
Kairi sighed. "Ok."
"Let's hang out right now! You and Hayner and I can go do something!"
"Well...ok. I'll see if Hayner's busy or not. I'll call you back. Will you answer the phone if I call back?"
"Yeah! I will."
"Ok then. Bye."
"Bye."
Riku had to admit, he missed spending time with Hayner and Kairi. He knew now this was his chance to show Kairi and Hayner how he has changed. That night, they all had a fun time. They decided to go to the movies, but they laughed and talked through every minute of it so everyone else in the theater was bothered. That didn't matter to them. They were enjoying themselves to much.
"Wow, Riku." said Kairi. "I've never seen you act this way before. I guess you really have changed."
"Does this mean you'll spend more time with us?" Hayner asked.
Riku wasn't sure just how much more time he would spend with them. He really wanted to hang out more with Sora, but these were his friends that he had for years. Ditching them for someone else that he is still getting to know would not be right.
"Maybe." said Riku. "Um...can Sora hang out with us too? I know you guys enjoyed hanging out with him that time we went to the beach."
"Sure." said Kairi. "The more, the merrier."
Riku smiled. Things were starting to get better...for now anyways.
Kairi and Hayner were both busy the next day, so Riku decided to see what Sora was doing.
"How are you?" Sora asked.
"I'm ok." replied Riku.
"Hey, do you want to see a new world?"
"I guess so."
He did the same thing as usual by letting Sora hold his hands so they could teleport.
One thing Sora forgot to do, was see if anyone was looking. Unfortunately, someone was.
"Did you see that?" said Jack. "They just teleported or something!"
"Interesting..." said Gary.
"Gary," said Rick. "you don't even know what we're talking about."
"Yes I do!" Gary said, angrily. "And did you hear that thing the spiky haired kid was saying? Something about a new world. I think another world means another place for us to cause some trouble."
Jack and Rick were shocked to hear Gary say this.
"Good thinking, Gary!" said Jack. "This place is dull and boring. And if they really did teleport to a different world, then next time they do it, we'll have to join our dear friends. Heheheh..."
"Where are we this time?" Riku asked.
"Neverland." Sora replied. The place sort of reminded Riku of Sora's world. Sora's world was still the best one Riku had seen though.
Sora walked over to the edge of the cliff they were on. He turned to Riku.
"Take my hand." he said.
"Huh?"
"I said take my hand."
"Why?"
"Don't ask why! That'll ruin the surprise."
Sora still had his hand held out, waiting for Riku to grab it. Riku thought about it for a moment. Sora had continued to never let Riku down, so he knew he could trust Sora. But still, he could not help but wonder what Sora was going to do.
Well, Riku thought. I won't know by standing here.
Riku went towards Sora and grabbed his hands.
Suddenly, they were high up in the air. Riku looked around, scared and confused. He held on tightly to Sora's hand.
"What's happening?" Riku asked him.
"It's called flying, silly." said Sora. "Even you know that! Just go with the flow and you'll be flying too instead of just holding onto me."
Riku did what Sora said, and felt himself being let go by Sora.
Good Lord! Riku thought to himself. He was actually flying!
He turned to Sora and smiled as they soared through the sky, among the millions of stars around them.
When I was younger...this is one of the things I used to wish I could do. I never imagined this would happen. Sora...thank you...
