SORA

I looked up at the sky. The stars winked at me and the moon shined brightly. It was full tonight. Nothing is like watching the sunset but what makes it even better is when you're sharing the faded day with your friends. I looked to my left and watched Riku. His arms were folded and his silver hair moved with the slight breeze. To my right was Kairi; she was sitting on the poapou tree with me, Riku was just leaning against it. Her red hair was caught behind her ear and her blue eyes stared intently among the many stars that shined above us. I smiled and looked up to night sky. A really small star twinkled, then it grew really bright. Almost as bright as the moon, but then it vanished. The entire star.

"Whoa…."

Riku leaned forward and uneasily uncrossed his arms. I glanced at Kairi who return my look with a worried expression.

"Well… we might be expecting a letter from the King soon." I said.

Kairi nodded with a small smile. I think she liked the fact that her boyfriend was a hero.

"Hey….look." Riku said quietly.

We both looked up and saw a shooting star.

"Hey Riku…since you saw it first….make a wish…"

"What? No…"

"Aww, come on Riku."

"…Fine…."

I watched him as he closed his eyes and wished. He looked up at me once he was finished.

"So…. What did you wish for?" I asked excitedly.

"I wished for you to grow up…." Riku snickered.

"Come on, Riku! What did you wish for?"

"Well…." His expression turned serious, " I wished for-"

"It's getting brighter!" Kairi suddenly cried.

Riku and I looked up and it was twice as big as it was and just as bright.

"I…. Think it's coming this way…." I whispered.

The shooting star didn't have much of a tail but it was all sorts of colors. It was a strange comet. Finally it hit the sea not too far away.

"Come on! Let's go check it out!" I said excitedly.

"Yeah…." Riku said looking up at me.

I jumped off the poapou tree and climbed down the ladder. Riku was right behind me.

"Sora, Riku! Be careful!" Kairi called out.

I turned around and gave my 'always successful' cheesy grin, just to reassure her. Then Riku and I dived into the sea and began to swim out to the figure that floated a few hundred feet away. Riku swam ahead of me. When I finally reached him and the figure, I was shocked.

"Come on, let's get her to shore." Riku said.

Riku took her up on his back and I made sure her head stayed above the water. When our feet touched the bottom, Riku took her off his back and ran up the beach. He gently laid her down in the warm sand and checked her pulse.

"Riku…. Is she okay?"

"I'm not sure… She is breathing and her heart beat seems normal."

"Where do you think she came from?"

"I guess from another world…."

Kairi ran up to us and kneeled down beside the girl.

"She looks our age, Sora." Kairi said as she moved away a tendril of hair from her face.

The girl had black hair but it was somewhat pulled back into a loose bun.

"She's so pretty, I wonder where she came from." Kairi said looking up at me.

"Maybe we should be the ones sending the letter…" I suggested as I looked to Riku.

He nodded and began to walk towards the dock where our boats sat. Kairi stood up and looked at me.

"Sora, help me take her to my house. I'll get her cleaned up. She's bleeding."

"Oh…okay."

I gently picked up the strange girl and followed Kairi to the dock.
