Sora bounced around as he waited for Cloud to return. Even though he was eighteen he still had as much energy as ever. Riku and Leon were starting to get annoyed. "Sora! Calm down! He'll be back in a minute. Jeez, he just went to the bathroom." Riku said as he rolled his eyes. "Well, I'm sorry! I haven't been able go out because of that mark covering up half my body in black! I'm ready to have some fun, not that pushing you guys around wasn't fun." He said. Riku glared at him while Leon ignored the comment.
"Hey, it wasn't fair! You had heartless backing you up and you stole all our energy! I don't call that fair." Riku said. "Get over it! You always overpower me so that was probably the only time I'll ever be stronger than you!" Sora said. Riku laughed at this. "Jeez, Sora. You could just work out you know." He said. Sora groaned. "That takes too much effort!" he said as Cloud entered the room. "Let's go!" Sora shouted when he saw Cloud enter the room. "Calm down Sora!" he said. He already could tell how hyper he was. Sora pouted in an adorable manner but it had no effect on Cloud. "Hey, you listen to him but not me?" Riku asked. "You're not as threatening as him." Sora said. Riku glared at Sora causing him to look back with surprise in his eyes. "Hey, I'm sorry!" he said. "Nope. Too late. I can't accept it now. You're too slow." He said as the group started heading out the door.
They finally reached the amusement park, Sora begging Riku for forgiveness the entire trip and Riku teasing him but still didn't forgive him. The guy at the ticket booth looked at the fighting pair quite amused. "How old are they?" he asked Cloud as he paid for the tickets. "Supposedly eighteen and nineteen but I'm having doubts." He answered. The guy laughed as Sora came up beside Cloud with a 'Hey!' "Hey yourself. It's your fault you two are acting like kids." He said. Sora began to pout, his lower lip jetting out. The ticket guy laughed at this as he handed the tickets over to Cloud along with the change. Sora completely forgot about his argument when they entered the amusement park. Cloud watched his brother in amusement as his reaction was that of a child. Riku laughed silently as Sora began bouncing around again, his energy back. The day was short and sweet. As they drove home, Sora fell asleep leaning on Riku's shoulder. Cloud gave him a glance of uncertainty before he decided to allow them to stay that way. Riku appreciated this and gave him a thankful look.
Finally, they arrived home with a sleepy Sora being dragged into the house by Riku and Cloud. "Sora, I realize you like to act like a kid but can't you carry yourself inside?" Cloud asked his brother as he dumped him on his bed. The only answer he got was the snoring of his tired brother. He laughed as he and Riku left Sora to sleep. He had really needed that day. Tomorrow they would go straight to work on finding out how to keep the mark away forever. He thought about this as he closed the door to Sora's room and walked down the hall with Riku behind him. He didn't want to make Sora sad but they had to make sure the mark never came back. He stopped and began to think about how they would make sure it never came back. "Cloud? You okay?" Riku asked as he tapped his shoulder. Cloud nodded and continued walking again. He would worry about it tomorrow. As he decided this he finally entered the living room and sat beside Leon on the couch. "What's troubling you?" Leon asked as soon as he sat down. "What makes you think something's troubling me?" Cloud asked. "Oh please. I can tell something is bothering you. You've got that look in your eyes." He replied. "Whether or not we should get make to business tomorrow or not. I don't want to make Sora unhappy but I want to figure out as soon as possible how top keep the mark from coming back. I'm not sure about Sora though." He said. "Are you kidding me? That mark has put him through hell. Of course he wants to figure out how to keep it from coming back. Who in their right mind wouldn't?" he asked. Cloud gave him a look. "Have you been paying attention at all? Sora isn't in his right mind. I'm not sure he has one." Cloud said causing Riku and Leon to laugh. Leon finally stopped and got serious. "I think he does. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to think of those evil plans. I know you don't like hearing it but if his mind was able to think of those then he does. It just appears more when he wants to be evil." Leon said as he leaned back. Cloud slowly nodded before looking at the ground in thought. It wasn't a good thing and Leon was right. He didn't like hearing that.
