Never Lost
Chapter 1 (edited)
In a small city, a bell is chiming. The sunset sky is filled with the sound of birds singing. Hidden at the end of an alleyway deep inside the city is a room. Inside are three best friends, talking quietly. Hayner, Pence and Olette, in their Usual Spot.
"I wonder when Sora's gonna come back and visit us...?" Wonders Hayner, from his seat on a desk.
He stands up and starts throwing darts at a dart board pinned to the wall.
"I dunno, but he said he'll come back soon, so I guess we just have to wait." replies Olette. She stands up to join him, her orange dress rustling around her legs.
"Hey look!" cries Pence suddenly, jumping up, and pointing to the wall behind Hayner, where a portal has opened. Hayner and Olette turn just in time to see a girl and a dog fall out of the portal. The portal closes and the girl collapses on the ground.
They run to her, and as they get there, she stirs.
"You ok?" asked Hayner.
She groans and sits up, her blue eyes blinking dazedly as she takes in the room and the people in front of her. "What…?" she says drowsily.
"You and that dog just came flying out of a hole in the wall!" Exclaims Pence excitedly. "You nearly gave us heart attacks!"
Olette offers her a hand and pulls her to her feet. "What's your name?" She asks.
The girl stands up and sighs "My name's Kairi," She says with a hesitant smile, "and I'm looking for my friend Sora." She explains.
"Sora!?" Cries Pence "Sora was here just a while ago!"
"Really?" asks Kairi hopefully, her eyes lighting up. "With spiky brown hair and..."
"Yep, that's him" replies Hayner. "Why are you looking for him?"
"Well, we used to live on the same island" she begins "Me, Sora and Riku... We were best friends. But then one day we were separated and taken to different worlds. Sora saved me, but he and Riku got left behind when I went back to the Island. Sora promised that he'd come back to me, but he never did, so I decide to come looking." She sighs "I ran through a portal, and ended up here."
"What a romantic story!" sighs Olette.
"Well, if you stick around, Sora's bound to show up." Says Pence with a cheerful smile.
Hayner nods "Yeah, he said he's coming back."
"And while we're waiting, you can try some sea salt ice-cream!" said Pence enthusiastically.
"Ok" agreed Kairi "Let's go!"
Olette rolls her eyes. "You are going to turn into a sea salt ice-cream if you don't stop eating them Pence!"
Pence smiles dreamily, causing Hayner, Olette and Kairi to laugh.
"What?" Asks Pence "What did I do?"
Olette only shakes her head. "Come on Kairi, let's get some ice-cream!" She says as she pulls Kairi from the room.
