Hola! Wow, college is not as fun as it seems… Lol, I'm having fun though =]. Sooo, I suppose this is the real chapter 1. The last was more like a prologue. Sorry, bout that.

Kairi stood up and wiped the tears from her eyes and the sand from her legs. She glanced at the sun setting over the ocean, the breeze lightly whipping her hair around her face as the tears dried. Just then a shooting star glanced across the sky. Kairi stared up in mild fascination. 'Sora,' she thought, shaking her head, 'I miss you so much. Please come back to me.' She knew it was a long-shot, for she had wished on many a star, what made this one any different? Turning towards home, she left her sorrows to lie on the beach, along with her memories. Little did she know what affect her simple wish had.
Sora lazed on the couch across from his pals, Donald and Goofy. They had been working hard, defeating heartless and helping the townsfolk all day long, all the while securing the six keys. That was their job now, to make sure they were safe. To Sora's disliking, he obliged when this was requested of him; he really hated babysitting and princesses too. He smiled thinking of his carefree days of not having responsibilities, just hanging out on the beach all day with his best-friends, Riku and Kairi…'Kairi,' he thought, sitting up, as he instinctively caught the necklace in the palm of his hand, that was under his shirt. Kairi had made it for him out of the seashells they would find together on the beach. On the outside, he proudly wore his crown necklace, which identified him as the king's personal assistant, but underneath, he kept her necklace, close to his heart. His eyes slid shut as his heart twisted in pain. 'I miss her so much. Her smile, her laugh, it haunts my dreams, and still… I dream of being by her side once again.'
A tear slid silently down his cheek. Donald smiled at the young boy, always noting how brave Sora was, to take on heartless without fear, to battle for the sake of others every day, and yet also remembering how he missed his friends… How Sora missed her. Donald knew Sora hadn't realized it yet, but he had. Donald knew that she was the reason Sora fought so bravely, she was the reason he endured his burdens so well, she was the one who was driving Sora's very existence. Kairi, the girl with the ice blue-eyes and the dark red hair. The one Sora loved. 'How clueless,' Donald laughed to himself. He knew Sora would find this out, he just needed time. Donald's eyes slowly slid over to goofy, who was lying on the floor sound asleep. Donald managed to nudge him awake as he stood up. "Ya know, Sora," Donald started, stretching dramatically, "it's been kind of boring around here lately, Maybe you should, you know, find a way to get home and check on your family and friends, or something." Sora's eyes popped open, "You mean it?" Donald yawned and then gave an awkward smile, "We can handle it, can't we, Goofy?" Goofy, who had nearly fallen back asleep again, raised a 'thumbs up' in answer; Donald rolled his eyes, "Don't worry about it, kid. Trust me; we've got it under control." Sora lit up, then his face fell a little, "But I have no idea where to begin looking for a way to get home, since, oddly, my keyblade won't do the job, lately." Sitting with this thought, Sora's keyblade suddenly pulsed. "Huh?" He wondered silently. Suddenly everything went black.
