-scratches head grinning- pleasant surprise there! At the time of writing this, I had three reviews for the last record. Three! A record! ...alright, it's not much, but hey, it keeps me happy. School is whipping me, but I'll keep trying to update this.

Thanks guys! -grins and starts writing-


"Welcome to the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee!" Yuffie grinned broadly as a grinning teen, a grouchy looking duck and a dog that looked like no one was at home in the upstairs department walked in to the small room.

"We missed you!" Aerith grinned turning, holding her hands.

"Well, if you ain't in top shape." Cid turned from typing, chewing his toothpick.

"I knew it." Leon turned, and Cloud got the surprise of his life.

Leon was actually smiling. Not his somewhat forced smile of when he talked to the public- "I know, sir, now quit pestering me"- and the smile that meant something was going to die very soon.

This was genuine, warm, and most of all, welcoming.

Just who the hell is- ...Sora? Cloud didn't shift from his position against the far corner. Donald? Goofy?

"...knew what?" The teen looked slightly confused as he stopped near the door, Donald and Goofy behind him.

"A while back, everyone suddenly remembered you guys, all at the same time."

Apparently, not all of us. I was left out of the loop?...is there a loop?

"You...remembered? Wait! Does that mean you forgot about us?!" Sora made an exaggerated movement.

"Thanks!" Donald squarked sarcastically.

"So... Where you guys been all this time?"

"We were sleepin'." Goofy grinned, still looking like nothing was going on.

"Where? In cold storage?" Cid kept chewing.

"It doesn't matter. This is great. Everyone's together again!" Aerith grinned.

...they went away?


Leon came back alone from the bailey, carrying a few bruises and a scrape or too.

"...Leon? What happened?" Aerith frowned at him.

"...a few Nobodies. Sora and I got rid of them, and now he's off, saving the worlds again." Leon smiled slightly, half sighing.

"Your worried about him! Leon is worried about So-ra!" Yuffie grinned, starting to sing.

"..." Leon sighed and left again.

"...Leon knows Sora?"

Cloud's question hung slighlty in the air, and Aerith answered.

"Yes. Leon helped train Sora and was the first to find him. Then Sora helped Leon clear this world, and saved the others. ...he's like a younger brother to Leon, to us all..."

Cloud nodded slightly.

He was helped by him...


There we go! Once again, not so good in my opinion. But I needed Sora to show up. Sora is such a good boy.

Let's try for three reviews! Although, I may be satisfyed with two, depending...

To Kotorigaro:...like Advent Children? -chuckles- I suppose, it is like that...
