Chapter 4: A letter from the King?

Destiny Island

The day was sunny and bright. Kairi was sitting on the beach with Selphie. They were laughing about the day before; Sora spilled his ice cream all over himself. He was so worried what his mom was going to say he began panicking. They were heading into town for a job interview. He quickly had to go home and change before his mom found out. The fact that he even wore his interview clothes to the beach, sitting in the sand and eating ice cream made it all the better. After the laughter died down Selphie turned to Kairi and gave a little smirk.

"Kairi, when is he finally going to ask you out?"

Kairi blushed; her cheeks grew a rosy pink. She looked to the ocean trying to avoid the subject. "What? Were just friends. What makes you think he likes me anyway?"

"I see the way he looks at you. He gets so protective, plus the drawing in the cave. You two giving each other a paupu fruit. I find it cute."

"Selphie, were just friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Were just important to each other is all."

"Sure, right…"

The girls sat in silence; Kairi lay back in the sand and closed her eyes. She was startled and sat up when she heard Selphie stand up.

"Hey Kairi, what's that. It looks like a bottle."

"Huh. Really?"

Selphie walked over to where the bottle was and picked it up. She noticed and embalm on the side of the paper that was inside.

"Hey, Kairi." Selphie turned to look over to her friend. Kairi tilted her head in confusion.

"What is it Selphie?"

"Kairi, do you remember the stories that you told me of your adventures that you had with Sora and Riku."

"Of course, I tell you everything your my best friend. What's up?"

"I think this is for you."

Selphie threw the bottle over to where she was. Kairi caught it with both hands, but she almost dropped it, due to the fact that is was still wet from the water. She held it up and stared inside, she then realized why Selphie was acting the way she was. Kairi immediately stood up and stared at Selphie, shock in her eyes.

"Selphie, do you know what this is?"

"Well from what I'm guessing from that emblem, it's something important."

"I have to go find Sora. Selphie, this is a letter from the King! I…I have to go. I'm sorry Selphie."

Selphie just smiled sweetly at Kairi. She put her arms behind her back, stood on her left foot, with her right one behind it. "Hey, don't worry about. Go do what you need to do. I'll be waiting for when you guys get back."

"Thanks Selphie."

With that Kairi took off running to go find Sora.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Sora was laying along the cove fast asleep. He had a late night thinking too much about what Riku had said. He tossed and turned until finally he just gave up. He stared out his window almost all night, staring at the stars. So now, there he was laying soaking up the sun, listening to the sound of the waves that put him to sleep. He was dreaming about a girl, one with long brown hair. He had never seen her before, but he was drawn to her. She had a smile on her face that seemed to make anyone smile with her. She was laughing and giggling until a dark figure appeared in front of her. Her smile vanished and fear struck her eyes. Black swirling clouds came from the figure in all directions. Darkness eating away at everything it touched, nothing could be seen. The girl ran, hoping to get away from him. Then like from out of nowhere other dark figures appeared in front of her. Only this time, they were animals, not humans. Sora stretched out his hand, hoping he could help her. He tried to take a step, but he could not move. He tried with all his might, but only to watch, that each animal figure leaped at her, swallowing her in darkness. All you could hear was the scream that echoed out. Sora shot up from his spot, panting, trying to find his breath. What WAS that dream? Who was that girl? This is all too weird.

"Sora! Sora!"

Sora turned over to his right and saw Kairi running toward him. She looked out of breath when she got to him. Sora chuckled as she huffed trying to catch her breath.

"Hey Kairi, what's up?"

"Sora looked what just washed on shore."

She held up the bottle to him. When he realized what was in the bottle, he quickly grabbed it. Unrolling the paper, Kairi shifted herself, so that she could also read over his shoulder.

Dear Sora,

I hope your year has been great. I wish I could say that this was just a friendly letter

but sadly to say it's not. I got a letter from Yen Sid and he has requested

that you and your friends come to the tower.

It seems that there is still yet another world that needs our help.

I am on my way, so I will meet you at the tower.

Also tell Riku that I look forward to see him.

I miss you all and will see you soon.

P.S. I have sent Goofy and Donald to some and pick you up in the gummie ship.

Sincerely, King Mickey

Sora rolled the paper back up and placed it back in the bottle. He looked up to Kairi and saw the concern in her eyes. He smiled to reassure her.

"Kairi, we need to find Riku and let him know."

"Need to let me know what."

They both turned to see Riku walking up behind them.

"Hey, what's with those faces? What's up?"

"Here."

Sora tossed the bottle over to Riku, who had a confused look on his face. When he saw what was in the bottle, his eyes became serious and read the letter.

"So, a meeting with the King and Yen Sid. This must be serious. I'm in."

"You can count me in to. This time, I'm not getting you leave without me."

The boys looked at each other and smiled. Sora held out his hand. Riku caught on and placed his over Sora's and Kairi put hers on Riku's.

"We'll go together."

Sora looked out over the ocean, thinking back to his dream. Could the dream be true? Is this why the King needs to see us?

"Sora, are you ok?"

Sora looked at Kairi. He could tell she was concerned for him. He smiled, threw his hands behind his head and rested on his foot.

"Are you kidding? We get to see the King! I'm just thinking about seeing our friends again."

Kairi smiled faintly. She knew that there was more, but left it at that. If he needed to say anything he would. Now all they needed was to wait for Donald and Goofy.

N/A: Yay! Chapter 4 is done! So that went a little differently then what I planned but it still went well.
