Summary; A devastating storm has hit Destiny Islands and someone has gone missing…meanwhile, a new person is found unconscious in the palace grounds after the most fantastic show of lightening that year. What's going on?
Chapter Two- 'Storm!' Part II
Lightening lit up the sky as dark clouds rolled in from the west. Rain spitted and spluttered down in small torrents and the wind howled outside the windows. The candles in the palace flickered in unseen breezes from under the door ways and a cold chill blew into every room.
Fires blazed in their fireplaces keeping the breezes at bay and a warm attitude through out the enchanted castle. Maids chattered animatedly as usual and the residents of the castle were still as busy as they would have been. Everyone was hard at work with little time left for fun…
"No, no, no, put that streamer up there, by the chandelier. You, dear, put the punch over by the cake; I want everyone to see it when the party begins!" Lady Daisy's voice echoed as maids and butlers helped her arrange Her Royal Majesty's surprise birthday party. "This must be the best looking surprise birthday known to the universe! There is no room for mistakes!" she called out bossily. "Oh I do love party's." she exclaimed as she looked around approvingly at the room.
The large dome room that was normally a crystal white marble décor with deep red rugs was now a colourful array of streamers and garlands with tables and tables of food from all across the universe. She smiled contentedly and waddled out of the room to find someone to show off her decorating skills to.
King Mickey however was feverishly trying to find away of keeping his determined wife from going back to the palace so early.
"But it's only a light drizzle dear." He said trying to pull her back, but failing as she pulled her arm form his grasp and walked on with a regal stubborn streak.
"Light? I'm sorry Mickey but it's my birthday and I don't want to catch a cold on my birthday. I'm going home." She said and walked on through the fields, she kept going on strong and all King Mickey could do was try and keep up with her, mumbling tiny excuses as to why she can't go back yet. He watched her bobbing along in front and tried to run but he kept tripping on his kingly cape. Then he tripped on something that was on the ground. It was quite dark and he didn't see what it was but it felt soft and a tad heavy.
"Mickey, what are you doing down the-" Queen Minnie asked but stopped when she saw what it was her husband had tripped on. "Oh my! The poor dear!" she exclaimed and picked the small boy up. "He's so small! And drenched!" she cried out and held the unconscious shivering boy close. King Mickey stood and peered at the small boy. He had a small bump on his head and cuts and bruises all over his tiny body. Mickey instantly took off his cape and wrapped the small boy in it. All thoughts of the party and deterring his wife from the castle vanished as he carried the small boy back to his home.
"They're coming!" A tall lanky dog cried in panic. All eyes turned to the door and the tall dog who was darting this way and that in a blind panic.
"They can't be! We haven't finished decorating!" Lady Daisy gasped. "Quickly now! They'll be here any minute!" the grand hall was now a blur of rushing maids and butlers, Lady Daisy was shrieking away trying to make everything look nice, whilst everyone else was trying to find a hiding spot.
"I have no place to hide!" a small black haired girl shrieked. She looked around in a panic. Until Donald, the Royal court Wizard, grabbed her hand muttering to himself and hid her behind a long tapestry. "Thanks Donald!" she cried as he turned as ran off to hide behind a pillar. She peered out from the tapestry and made sure everyone was hiding but then she noticed Squall (Leon) just standing in the middle of the room.
"Squall move your big fat butt and hide! They'll be here any second!" she yelled. He looked over his shoulder at her and gave a scowl before walking to the door and standing behind it; effectively hidden without hiding. Yuffie, the black haired girl, hid back behind her tapestry and thought to herself 'why didn't I think of that?'
Click.
The door!
Silence…
Suddenly someone blew all the candles out and everyone held their breath.
Step, step, step…
They drew closer…
Step, step, step…
"SURPRISE!"
The island was a shambles. Not one house remained unscathed. Trees were uprooted, and carts and boats were smashed to unrecognisable shards of wood. Riku looked around at the devastation but he didn't see the damage, he didn't see the chaos or the survivors mourning over their lost homes and friends. He was looking for Sora.
Kairi clung to his left arm crying uncontrollably as she replayed the horrific scene of her friend disappearing into the tornado.
"If he's alive he'd have gone home, to find his parents." Riku said more to himself than anyone else. He refused to believe Sora was dead, best friends can't die, especially not Sora. He ran with Kairi right behind him, to Sora's burnt down house. But Sora wasn't there.
He ran to Kairi's broken home, but still there was no Sora. He ran to his home only to find it in rubble…and still no Sora. He ran to all the favourite places they'd picked out but Sora just wasn't anywhere. Riku didn't understand.
Wide eyed and trembling, he sat under their favourite tree and let the tears fall. It had finally hit him; his best friend in the whole entire world…was gone. He was all alone now. He pulled Kairi close and cried out loud.
"Sora…"
Queen Minnie jumped out of her skin and nearly ran back out the door, until she realised who had scared her. A small smile crept onto her lips as the surprise party began to gather round her.
"So this is why we couldn't come back early?" she asked King Mickey as he watched her happy face turn to his. Then she remembered the small boy and immediately hushed everyone. "Sh! You'll wake him!" she hissed, and instantly everyone hushed and peered at the small boy in King Mickey's arms.
"Who is it?" Goofy, the tall lanky dog asked. The small boy gave a small adorable sneeze in his sleep and Queen Minnie took out her handkerchief and gave the small nose a quick wipe.
"We don't know, Mickey here found him in the fields while we were coming home. We couldn't just leave him there all alone, he'd have died." Queen Minnie said.
"Awww! He's so cute!" Yuffie squealed and bounced closer to get a better look at the small boy.
"Get back Yuffie, you'll scare him." Leon muttered as he too came over to inspect the boy. "He needs rest and a warm dry bed." He diagnosed and walked away uninterested.
"Since when did he become the doctor?" she moaned as she followed King Mickey and Queen Minnie to the guest bedrooms.
They walked into a large room with a glowing fire in the fire place. There was a huge king size four poster bed to the right and large cathedral shaped windows opposite. The curtains were drawn against the storm outside. Everyone was ushered outside as Queen Minnie and King Mickey took personal care of the boy.
Minnie undid the small shirt and red overalls that were sopping wet and dressed the sleeping boy in a pair of silk pyjamas that were slightly too big for him. Mickey fetched the first aid kit and patched the bump on his head up. It would've been easier to just heal it but head wounds were tricky and could cause some damage so instead they cleaned the small wound and bandaged it up.
Minnie looked down at the small boy who unconsciously snuggled into the over large bed sheets. She smiled in a motherly way.
"You know, I've always wanted a little boy." She said. King Mickey sighed.
"Don't get too attached dear, he may wake up and want to go home. He's not ours." He warned as he packed the first aid kit back up.
"I know dear, I just…oh I don't know anymore." She sighed and followed her husband out of the room. She ordered for two guards to stay by the door and to summon her if the boy woke up. Then, arm in arm, the rulers of the land walked back to the party downstairs.
