A few hours later after Sora had calmed down, the three had a peaceful picnic at the beach. It would have been more peaceful, though, without the swarm of seagulls trying to eat Sora's food by pecking at his spiky hair. But Kairi and Lauren just laughed, and watched the seagulls chase Sora down the shoreline with his arms covering his head, shrieking like a girl.
The rest of the day seemed to go pretty nicely, but they had to stay inside. Storm clouds were fast approaching. There hadn't been a storm this bad since Sora was in diapers. Lauren tried her best to sleep that night (on her new king-sized bed with 7 pillows), but the storm was too loud. Eventually Lauren fell asleep.
In her dream, Lauren was on a mysterious island. It was raining and thundering badly. What were those black things swarming around near her feet? They looked like giant ants with big yellow eyes. She ran, but the ground became black. Her feet were slowly sinking in like quicksand. She tried to reach out towards the light, but it vanished. Everything became darkness except for a large silver door in front of her. But Lauren couldn't reach it. She was sinking fast. Suddenly her body dropped, and she seemed to fall forever. She landed hard on a small platform. And in front of her was the silver door. A voice was speaking to her from her mind. "Open the door…" the voice said. Obeying, Lauren grabbed the door handle and pulled. The door opened, and a bright light filled the room. The light blinded Lauren. In the background was a soft screaming, a cry for help. Who was it? Suddenly the world went black.
"Lauren, Lauren!" Kairi said. Lauren opened her eyes and found herself in her room. She was covered in sweat, and her mom was shaking her shoulders. "Lauren are you alright? You were screaming!" Lauren tried to slow her breathing down to normal. "I…I'm alright, mom. It was just a nightmare." Kairi let go of her daughter and sighed. "Well alright then. No more nightmares. Good night." Kairi left the room and Lauren looked around. The storm was raging as wildly as ever. She looked in her closet, where she had left the Keyblade, just to check on it.
"Oh no, I left it outside!" Lauren cried, remembering taking it there during lunch. She had forgotten about it and left it there when the storm was first arriving. "I have to go get it!" Lauren burst out of her room and ran downstairs. She quickly put some shoes on and ran out into the cold storm. She spotted the Keyblade lying at the bottom of a palm tree. Lauren ran to it and grasped its handle. Despite the cold temperatures outside, the Keyblade was very warm.
Suddenly those same creatures from her dream appeared and surrounded her. "They must be the heartless dad was talking about," Lauren said, remembering. But Lauren didn't know what to do. She had never fought before. But the Keyblade seemed to read her thoughts. It glowed brightly and swung itself at the Heartless. They disappeared into the sand. But an even bigger Heartless appeared. This one was huge, as big as her house! There was an empty heart-shaped hole in its stomach. It lifted its arms up and a black hole covered the sky. There was a raging wind, and everything was sucked into it, including Lauren. She let out a soft scream as she was carried away from her island, her home, her world. Everything went black and Lauren knew no more.
After what seemed like forever, Lauren awoke. Her eyes fluttered open. "Ugh, where am I?" She looked around and saw herself in a strange town. On her left was a game shop. She walked in, where a kid with spiky, tri-colored hair was reading a comic with a blonde teenager. The blonde spoke first. "Ah come on, Yug! Let me read it! Just a peek!" "No, Joey!" The kid said. "My grandpa gave this to me, therefore it's all MINE!" The kid was a lot shorter than the blonde. "Um excuse me?" Lauren said. "Could anyone tell me where I am?" The two looked at Lauren. The blonde smiled and walked up to her. He smoothed his hair and gave her a grin. "I'm Joey Wheeler, master duelist and babe-magnet!" The short kid gave Joey a slap on the back of the head. He had to jump really high to reach it, though.
The kid smiled at Lauren. "Sorry for Joey's rudeness. I'm Yugi Motou. My grandpa owns this gameshop. Are you new here?" The two's attention now focused on the Keyblade. Lauren interrupted. "Uh, I'm Lauren. I just arrived here from another-" there was silence. Should she tell them she was from another world? "Another country?" Joey finished. "Yah, that's it. Another country!" Lauren said, smiling.
"Yugi, did those orders of Chess boards come in yet?" an old man said as he stumbled into the room. "Oh hey Grandpa!" Yugi said. "Yah they did, they're on the table. And look, we have a visitor from another country! Lauren!" Yugi's grandpa looked at Lauren and gasped when he saw the Keyblade. He stared at it for a while, then focused on Yugi again. "Yugi, why don't you show our guest around town?" Yugi shrugged and walked Lauren out the door. Joey followed like a little puppy dog.
"And this is Domino High School, where Joey and I go to school!" Yugi said as they approached a large building. "You go to High School?" Lauren said, surprised. "Wow, you must be the smartest 10-year-old I have ever seen!" There was silence, then Joey and Yugi broke out into laughter. Joey explained to Lauren, "don't judge Yugi by his height. He may look young, but he's actually 16." "16 wow!" Lauren exclaimed. The three continued walking and looked at the different places.
