Sora woke up to his clock-radio alarm precisely at 6:00 am. He groaned as he reached over to turn on his light. He'd hardly woken up and already his mind was fileed with thoughts and doubt. And also about the strande dream he'd had. Sora didn't remember it all too well now, but he did know that it had been very vivid.
He stumbled into his kitchen and a glance at a wedding invitation on the counter unpleasantly reminded him of his conversation with Kairi. Sora picked up the invitation and looked it over for a while.
"I'm not going," He finally said to his pet dog, Sprinkles, who had just come in, whining for food. "I'm not going." He ripped up the invitation and threw it away. Then he turned his attention toward getting ready for school.
Sora…The brunette jumped at the sound of his name, dropping the box of cereal and spilling its contents all over the floor. Sprinkles immediately jumped on it, eating as much as he could before his master scolded him. But Sora was too preoccupied to pay any attention. He'd just had a sudden vision from his dream.
He was at the World That Never Was. He could hear someone calling his name, very softly, like the wind. The voice, so familiar, so assuring… Sora knew he wanted nothing more than to find the owner of that voice.
When Sora came out of his trance-like state a sudden wave of sickness came over him and he leaned against the sink to steady himself.
"Oh… God... What the hell was that…?" He then realized that he'd spilled half a box of cereal and his dog was eating himself sick. "No, bad Sprinkles! BAD! Get over here, its time for your walk."
