A/N: Hallo!! School is out!
Disclaimer: Ni!
Saturday perk
"Out! Out! Hurry up!" Tidus coached as his teammates trudged themselves out of the room.
"How can you stand him Sky?" Wakka asked with a sigh.
"I don't know. Sometimes I just ignore him" Sora said with a laugh.
"I heard that!" Tidus shouted from the other side of the hall.
Sora chuckled while shaking his head. Tidus could be such a strange guy at times.
"So, where we going?" Hayner asked while trying to conceal a yawn.
"No idea" Sora sighed.
Then silence overtook the three boys. Sora found his mind wandering again. It wasn't on Riku, but the memories that plagued his mind.
"Mom?" Ten year old Sora asked at dinner.
"Hm?" She said while chewing.
"Why did you marry dad?"
She swallowed and paused.
"Well…back then he was kind, loving, and compassionate"
Although Sora did not know what compassionate meant he nodded.
"What happened?"
"…He just stopped" She drank her soda signaling it was the end of the conversation.
Sora frowned. The talked didn't clear anything up. It just made things worst.
-o0o-
Sora sat at the sill of his room watching the snow that slowly fell from the sky. The room was cold from the weather and the only thing that warmed him was the cup of coffee that was cooling in his hands.
Sora was smiling a small smile as the flakes covered the ugly brown grass making it beautiful.
"Sora?" Cloud called. "Did you take your medicine?"
"Nope!" Sora said cheerfully.
"Good!"
Sora chuckled at Cloud's antics. Sora took a sip of his hot coffee and shuttered in delight as he felt the liquid warm him. Just then the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Cloud shouted from downstairs.
Sora heard mumbling from downstairs and the door shutting.
"Spikes!! It's for you!!" Cloud called.
Sora rose from his spot at the sill and walked down the stairs. Sora saw a package on the kitchen table.
"…" Sora walked to the package and carefully.
The first thing he noticed was a letter. He opened it.
"Make yourself useful"
Sora automatically knew it was from his father by the way it was written: like someone who was in a hurry and didn't care. Sora looked at the rest of the package and felt his heart be crushed.
"Congrats! You have been accepted to Keyclaus Army Training Grounds!"
-o0o-
"What do you mean your leaving?!" Tidus shouted on the phone.
"I don't have a chose" Sora said sadly.
"…So where is it? Next town over?"
"More like next few worlds"
"…Where do I sign up?"
"What?"
"…Do you expect me to stay here while you go to another world? You're quite mistaken!"
Sora smiled and looked over at the bouncy Tidus.
"Are we there yet?"
"Where are we going?"
"Who cares?"
Sora shook his head at his friends. They were outside in the court yard. The court yard was circular, made by cobblestone path, with a fountain in the middle. Many scattered students sat chatting about their homes, old friends, training, and letters. This place reminded Sora of his old town. But before he could delve in that subject a well-known voice cried.
"Let explore this rock!!" Tidus proclaimed pointing at a stone on the ground.
"A rock?" Wakka said with disgust and disbelief "You woke me up to look at a rock?!"
"Not just any rock!" Tidus said. "It's a big rock!"
They all went silent. Sora blinked once…twice…a third time, and sighed. Leave it to Tidus to start a morning like this.
"Tidus…No more coffee for you" Sora said with a small shake of his head.

Riku sighed as he sat down for breakfast (a very sad excuse of eggs and what may be apple juice, he was afraid to find out). He picked at his eggs, not really hungry.
There was a crash of broken plates, a lady crying out, and a 'Pardon me'.
"Hello Riku how's your morning?" Axel snickered sitting the opposite side for Riku's table.
"Was fine till you came along" Riku sighed as he stared at Axel's attire.
Axel was covered in syrup, stray scrambled eggs, and juice. Apparently, Axel was the reason of the commotion, running to get over to the platinum blond.
"Ah well, we can't all be as peppy as me"
Riku nodded slowly, once again picking at his eggs. Now he wasn't sure why he got them, not being the least bit hungry.
"Axel…do me a favor"
"Hm?" Axel hummed while his eyes scanned the cafeteria.
"Sip this"
"Wha?"
Riku smirked as he held out the cup of apple juice. Axel made a disgusted face as he picked up the cup.
"Apple or piss?" Axel asked as he sniffed the juice.
"No idea"
BEEEEP! BEEEEP! Emergency! BEEEEP! All officers report to the war room. This is not a drill! BEEEEP!
Everyone went silent as they held their breath.
Not a drill?
Riku's heart was going at a million beats a minute. He knew what was happening, and who was the cause of it.
"Ender"

(Outside)
Sora sat down in the shade as Tidus, Hayner, and Wakka began to chase each other around the rock. He didn't feel like doing anything today, just sleep. Yawning, Sora booted TIM up.
Ding! Welcome Sora Heart! You have no messages!
Sora sighed dejectedly. He was hoping for mail from Cloud, but lady luck wasn't on his side today. Setting TIM by his side Sora watched his friends with a small smile on his face. What could go wrong? The grass was super green, the sun was shining, and the sky was a clear blue color with lots of black dots.
"….Eh?" Sora did a double-take and confirmed his sights.
In the azure sky was a bunch of black specks, to far off to really see what they were. They moved slowly across the sky, like a stubborn child following his/her mother.
"Hey Tidus" Sora called to the blond, still staring at the black specks.
The blond ignored the cinnamon hair colored teen, too preoccupied with his game with his other teammates and the innocent rock. Sora sighed and removed his gaze from the odd sky.
"Last time I checked, Saturday was meant to make students happy. Not droopy"
Sora raised his head to the voice and smiled softly. Roxas that day wore a blue shirt with the words "It's rude to stare, you know" in bold black letters on it, a pair of blue jeans and a bracelet. His eyes almost seemed to glow with curiosity.
"Oh I'm happy" Sora stated. "I just done demonstrate it as much as my other friends"
Roxas nodded sagely as Sora began to twiddle with his thumbs.
"Do you see what's in the sky?"
"No, what?" Roxas asked.
"Those black dots" Sora said pointing to a group of them.
"Probably training ships" Roxas said leaning on the tree Sora sat against.
Sora made a sound of agreement. That would make sense, after all this training ground also did flight training for fighting in space. That was, until the alarm when off.
That day went somewhat downhill from then on.
A/N: Bleeeeeeeeeeeee! Schools OUT!!!! YAY!! Wow, every chappy needs a flashback right? R&R!!! It will motivate me!!! And I need motivation.
