About ten or fifteen minutes after the previous moment with our heroes, they had ventured off a few feet away. Riku, after completing all his work, decided to sit on a tree and do nothing. Was it boring? Yes. But did he look cool doing it. Also yes...well actually not really
Anyway, a few more feet away was where one would find Sora and Kairi, who were working together to finish the raft, as a team!
"Alright Sora, here's the plan. You're going to go run around and get supplies and food from continently placed areas on the island for the raft. I on the other hand am going to sit here while I boss you around and make a necklace out of shells. You got all that?"
"Yep!"
What a team! Yes indeedy
Kingdom Hearts…Only Not
Chapter Two: WILSON!
Sora walked down the beach, and picked up the log from before. He always enjoyed walks on the beach. The birds, the sound of the ocean, the Blitz balls that constantly hit him in the head…
Wait…
"OH! Sorry mon! I guess ma aim's a little off." Said Wakka walking over to help his fallen friend. Sora blinked.
"Um, it's okay…"
"Hey you wanna go a few rounds?!"
Sora smiled "You bet!"
They prepared to fight, and to start the battle, Wakka chucked the blitz ball at Sora's head. Unfortunately he missed, and the ball went way over Sora's head and into the ocean, where the angry sea swallowed it up.
"My ball!" He shouted going closer to the shore, but the ball was nowhere to be seen. Distraught, he fell to his knees and reached out to the ocean. "WILSON! DON'T GO WILSON! DON'T LEAVE ME!" And with that, he jumped into the ocean, and swam after his ball. "What are you doing, Sora?!" He shouted from the ocean. "Help me!"
One hour later…
"Sora, what took you so long?"
The fourteen-Year-Old boy stood before his friend, soaking wet, with a scowl on his face. "Wakka made me look for Wilson."
Kairi looked worried. "Wilson was lost? Well did you find him?"
"…Yeah." Sora said slowly, extremely freaked out that Kairi was also doing the 'Wilson' thing. She looked very relieved. "Good…anyway, did you get everything I asked for?"
"Sure did!" Said Sora forgetting all about his worries and dropping the supplies at Kairi's feet.
"…Sora, what is all this stuff? Some cloth and a short rope? Only TWO logs? What about the toilet paper, tooth brushes, first aid kit, and radio we can use to call for help I asked you to get?"
"Riku said we wouldn't need any of that stuff."
"Oh...well if Riku says so then okay!" She said, completely forgetting about it and looking at her watch. Said watch was hidden under her giant yellow bracelet-type-thing. "Oh wow it sure is getting late. You wanna call it a day?"
"But...it's noon…"
Kairi yawned, completely ignoring him. "Okay, sounds good. I'm tired."
Later…
It was sunset, and the trio were sitting on a tree, pondering about there existence, meaning, and what there was out there. They were wondering and discussing all the important questions, the big questions, everything.
"Riku, there is no way Tomatoes are a fruit!"
"Oh for god's sakes are you two idiots still arguing about the stupid tomatoes?! Seriously, don't you have something better to do with your time?!"
"Nope." Chirped Sora with a smile. "Nothing more important than sitting around with friends and getting into pointless arguments. You know, except maybe, schoolwork, or something."
"Sora, for all we know we don't even have a school." Responded Riku.
"Be that as it may," Kairi cut in quickly, "This is still not a productive or plot relevant area of conversation."
"Right then, back to the plot."
"So, Kairi's world is out there, right?" Sora asked, changing the subject.
Riku rolled his eyes. "Sora, how often are you going to ask about Kairi's world? If she doesn't know, how would I?" He sighed. "But we'll never know if we don't go and look for it."
"But how far will a raft take us? I mean it's not the sturdiest thing you know."
"Who knows? If we have too, we'll think of something else."
"But by then we'll be out on the ocean."
"We'll manage."
"And what about Wilson?" Kairi asked holding up the ball with one hand and pointing to it with the other.
Riku looked like he was deep in thought for a moment. "Well, we can't really leave him so, I guess we'll take him."
Sora looked very confused and upset. "Am I the only one who's not getting the joke?"
"Well, if there are other worlds out there," He began, ignoring Sora and tossing the ball over his shoulder, "Then, why did we end up on this one? That would mean we're just a small part of something much bigger."
"And if not, that would mean we're going to float off into the ocean and starve to death." Sora added in cheerfully.
"Well…I…suppose…"
"And wouldn't it make more sense for us to take a spaceship?"
"Well…Oh, I don't know! Maybe we'll just fall off the side of the world onto another one!"
"I though the world was round…"
"Well…It…I just…Oh! Why are you asking me all this?!"
"Well it was your idea." Kairi pointed out, giggling slightly.
He sighed heavily. "Okay, FINE!" He then pulled out a mass of papers and a physics and earth science book handing each one to Sora. "Here are some hypothesis and experiments, studies, and physics and earth science books for reference…also some graphs, a few pamphlets, and some Wikipedia pages, oh and there should be a 'How to build a raft that can take you into outer space' book in there too, but I just browsed through the first few pages before I realized it was a Dr. Suse book…If you look it over a few times, it starts to make sense." he finishes putting a finger to his head and the other hand on his hip to emphasize his point.
Sora stared at the pile of papers in his hands. "Um, thanks?"
"Well, suppose you do get to another world." Kairi paused and giggled. "What would you do there?"
"Well…I'm…not really sure. But we'll never know anything more than this little island if we don't try."
"You've sure been thinking a lot lately, not to mention doing a lot of research."
"Thanks to you." He said, obviously flirting with her. Sora made a face behind the massive stack of papers. "If you hadn't come I never would have thought of any of this."
"…But I came when I was seven. That was seven years ago."
"Well I've put a lot of thought into this."
"But, you only really mentioned it last week."
"That doesn't matter." He said quickly, then continued more softly, "Kairi, Thanks."
"You're welcome." She said nervously.
A few minutes later…
Sora and his friends walked off to go home. Kairi, ahead of the boys, Riku, calmly, and Sora, struggling to get the stack of papers back home. Suddenly, as if the ball had a grudge against him, Wilson got in his way and Sora fell flat on his back.
"No! The papers!" He shouted in dismay as the papers floated out to the sea. As if to add to his sorrow, a large star shaped fruit fell on his face. "What the-?!"
"You wanted one right?"
"What?!"
"If two people share the fruit, there destinies become intertwined."
"Inter-What?"
"Come on, I know you want to try it!"
He sat up."…Are you coming on to me?"
"What?! No! No, I meant with Kairi!"
"…Oh…OH! Oh, Right, I knew that! Ha ha…ha" He laughed nervously. The two shared an awkward pause, before racing off to the boats.
Elsewhere…
A bright blue and white castle, looking all to familiar, comes into view, before an all to familiar tune begins to play. Then a familiar duck walks through the familiar hall and happily enters the door. The room holds a familiar dog with a letter in his mouth. The letter bares a familiar seal. The duck reads the letter. There is a pause.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Elsewhere…
In a lovely garden not to far away, a Dog/Man laid down having a happy little Dog/Man dream. Then a Duck, on the verge of hysterics, ran in screaming his head off.
"Goofy! Wake up!" The Dog/Man continued to sleep. The Duck put his hand up, and a lightning bolt, that should have killed the Dog/Man, but thankfully didn't, came from the sky.
The Dog/Man Yelled/Yelped.
"Well, gawrsh Donald! That hurt!"
"Goofy! This is no time to be complaining about you're silly needs!" He shouted. "We have a problem! But you can't tell anyone!"
He looked thoughtful. "Queen Minnie?"
"Not even the queen!"
"Daisy?"
"NO!"
"G'MORNIN' LADIES!" He shouted to the two behind Donald. Donald looked behind to see two very confused and slightly aggravated girls. He laughed nervously.
"Well, gee Donald, that joke was a little clichéd, doncha think?"
Elsewhere…
"Hello Sora!" Kairi greeted from her place on the raft.
"Hi!"
"The raft is almost ready, we just need some supplies. Oh and, by the way, have you seen Riku?"
"No, not yet, I'll go look for him."
Several feet away…
"Hi Riku!"
"Hey Sora. What do you think we should name the raft? I think we should name it High Wind."
"I think we should call it the Scootie Boat 9000!"
"…Sora there is no way we're naming it that."
"Why not?"
"Because it's stupid!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not times one hundred!"
"Is too times infinity!"
"DAMN!"
"Are you two at it again?" Kairi asked walking up to her friends. "Fine then, the usual?"
"Fine! If I win…I'm captain. And if you win…"
"I get to share a paopu with Kairi."
"What?"
"So it's settled, the winner get's to share a paopu with Kairi?"
Sora looked very confused. "Wait a minute!"
"Ready?!" Called Kairi, who's selective hearing prevented her from hearing this slightly offensive bet. "GO!"
And OFF THEY WENT! Neck and neck they were, racing to the large star shaped tree-like-thing (what the heck was that anyway?) both running at the speed of sound! Like sonic the hedge hog they were!
Only not. Because Sora fell off the ledge seven times and Riku basically walked to the finish line.
"Aw MAN! Now the record is 56 to 0!"
"Fine then! We shall call the raft High wind."
Kairi then wandered off aimlessly.
"Hey, but I though you-"
"What? The thing about the paopu? I was only joking."
"Well it wasn't very funny…"
"Was for me! Now go ask Kairi what you need to get for the raft."
"FINE! I WILL!" He said, storming off.
Five seconds later…
"Okay Sora, you need to get me some food supplies for our trip."
"Okay, I can do that."
"Okay get three fish…"
"Okay."
"Three mushrooms…"
"Oka- Wait…wild ones?"
"A seagull egg…"
"Don't they carry diseases?"
"Three coconuts…"
"But, wait-"
"And fill this canteen full of water."
"And that's supposed to sustain us for who knows how long?"
"That should be plenty."
"Yeah! For you! You eat like a bird! I'm a growing boy, I need my veggies!"
"Then bring a tomato!"
"IT'S A FRUIT!" Came Riku's voice from far away.
"But Kairi…WAIT! We're supposed to share this little canteen of water?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Ewwww, I'm not sharing a canteen with Riku!"
"What?! He has cooties of something?!"
"Well DUH!"
"Sora, stop being immature!" She said putting her hands on her hips threateningly.
Sora sighed. "Fine." And off he went.
After getting two mushrooms right off the bat, Sora proceeded to a small islet to get coconuts. After climbing failed, he brutally beat the tree, until he had three green ones. He then ventured up another tree and got an extremely large seagull egg, something the seagull mama was not very happy about. After loosing part of his right ear, he finally got to the shore, where Wilson was lost again. Twenty minutes of searching, and three fish later, he found himself in a secret cave. On the walls were millions of doodles, most of which gave away the plot of the game, and a mushroom in the corner. Sora picked these mushrooms, and proceeded to stare at a drawing him and Kairi had done together when they were just kids. Sora then decided to draw a shooting star about to hit Kairi in the face…Oh wait no, it was a paopu. A paopu about to fly into her mouth, ultimately suffocating her and killing her. How Morbid.
"I've come to see the door," Said a strange man in a robe.
Sora jumped up. "Who's there?!"
"This world has been connected…"
"How did you get here!?"
"Tied to the darkness…"
"What are you talking about?!"
"Soon to be completely eclipsed."
"Why are you telling me this?!"
"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door."
"What door? That door?" He said jabbing his thumb in the general direction of the door behind him.
There is so much to learn. You understand so little."
"About what? Can't I learn?"
"A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing."
"…Are you implying I'm stupid?"
"..."
"...Hello?"
"Look, that's my entire dialog, I really don't have anything else to say, and you're really kind of annoying, so look over there."
Sora fell for the trick and looked towards the wall, then looked back to see the man had disappeared. So, thanks to Sora's short term memory loss, he was able to go off and on his way as though nothing had happened. Nothing at all. After a bit more walking around doing nothing in particular, he ventured back to Kairi who was happy to see he had done all his chores. She informed him that the sun was lying and it was really quite late. Sora agreed and it became sunset once again. So Sora and Kairi decided to sit on a dock. Oh, what fun!
"You know what I noticed?"
"That this calypso background music is getting really annoying?"
"…Wow…okay, no not that. I'm just thinking…Riku's really changed hasn't he?"
"What do you mean?"
She paused. "Hey Sora, lets go on the raft together, without Riku!"
"Okay!"
"Hee hee, just kidding."
Sora's face dropped, but figured it was for the best if he came. If his little plan got them killed, Riku was going down with them. "What's gotten into you Kairi? You're the one who's changed!" He said with a chuckle.
"Well, Sora, I am a girl."
He blinked out of confusion. "What?"
She paused, then laughed nervously. "Ohhhh that is so not what you meant was it?" Then she giggled, which she does a lot. "Never mind then!"
"Um, okay."
"Oh, and Sora?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't ever change."
"Um, okay…"
"You know, I was a little scared at first. But I know I can always come back! It'll be great, once we set sail…"
Elsewhere…
Dear Donald,
It has come to my attention, through my constant surveillance of the stars, that a lot of them were blinking out! Even though it could take hundreds of millions of years after they blink out to see them blink out, I still have to see what's going on! Due to my tendencies to be very aloof, I won't see you for awhile. I herd of a 'Key', the key to out destiny! I need you to find that key! There is a man in Traverse Town named Leon, he will help you. I'm really sorry about this. Thanks a lot, pal.
P.S. Could you please apologize to Minnie for me? I mean, I am her husband and I am leaving for who knows how long without telling her and so now she'll have to rule the entire kingdom by herself so…
Best wishes,
The King (insert Kings Seal here)
"So what do we do?" Donald asked downcast.
"We'll just have to trust the king. He will help chronicle your travels…" Queen Minne said pointing to a random flowerpot. But it really WASN'T a flower pot….okay it was but behind it was…
"Cricket. James Cricket."
"Can we call you Jiminy?"
"Sure."
"Daisy, Can you look after the-" Said Donald. (For those of you who don't know, he was referring to 'The Cornerstone of Light'. That's right! They planned that far ahead!)
"Of course, now you get going."
Minnie saluted him.
Daisy saluted him.
Goofy saluted him.
"You're coming too!" he then pulled Goofy along by the ear. Then he hit him on the nose with a rolled up news paper.
Later…
"So Jiminy, you're world was destroyed by the Heartless too?"
"Oh, yes! It was horrible! We were scattered! As far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to the castle…"
Goofy scratched his head. "Well, gawrsh Jiminy, it's not a very big castle…"
"Goofy…" Donald began in his quaky voice.
"Oh right, I get it!" He said, immediately realizing what Donald said due to their telepathic connection. "When we're in other worlds, we can't let on where we're from! We gotta protect the world border!"
"'Order!'"
"Right, the world porter!"
"No, 'Order!'"
"The…norder?"
"NO! THE WORLD 'ORDER'!"
"…Hors d'oeuvres?"
"…What?"
"Hors d'oeuvres, you know like, appetizers"
"What? No. ORDER!"
"…You…want to order Hors d'oeuvres?"
"Goofy, do you have a speech impediment, or a hearing problem?"
"A little of both, Donald. Why d'ya ask?"
"…Never mind…"
And on they went! They were greeted by two very hyper chipmunks, and boarded the Gummi ship. Light's flashed, buttons were pushed, levers were pulled. All was prepared for the long trip! With one last opening of the runway, burst of the engine, and the go-ahead from Donald…a hole opened under the ship, which fell in a satisfyingly cartoony fashion. Also, Donald had a heart attack.
Elsewhere…
In Sora's room, Sora sat, pondering about how his new life will be in a new world, what he should do when he gets there, how much he will miss his mom, but most importantly…why he was sitting in a dark room that held absolutely no form of entertainment. I mean really! Aside from random articles of clothing and a toy boat, it wasn't much. No TV, video games, not even any books! I guess all he could do was nap. In his bed. WITH HIS SHOES STILL ON. Not that his parents took very much interest in their son to teach him otherwise. I mean, they didn't really seem to notice that he was spending everyday building a RAFT with witch to AIMLESSLY DRIFT INTO THE OCEAN. Nor did they seem to care that he had spent the last six nights SLEEPING ON THE BEACH. Oh, and god forbid they buy him cloths that fit! Everything he owns is ether two sizes too big or too small! And it's not like he was desperately trying to find them after his world exploded, like he was with his friends! Yep. I'd say there is a MAJOR lack of parental guidance there. The amount of emotional scarring that this will cause remains to be seen.
Soon, a big, black and purple looking storm appeared over the Sora's little play island. Sora, naturally being more concerned about the raft than his own life, cleverly jumped out the window to go save it.
From the second floor.
Later…
"Kairi's boat! And Riku's!" He shouted after reaching the island. He then paused. "Wait…why didn't we just sail off on our boats?"
Before his realization could destroy all his hopes and dreams, a bunch of shadowy heartless popped out from the ground. Sora, completely un effected by these little creatures, ran around (tripping over many things mind you) until he reached Riku in the small islet.
"Riku! Where's Kairi!? I thought she was with you!"
"The door…has opened…" He said in a zombie like voice.
"…What door?"
"The door to the darkness! We have to go now!"
"But what about Kairi?!"
"She's coming with us!" He said becoming impatient. He paused and thought for a moment, before continuing, "And so is Wilson. If we go now, there will be no turning back. We may never get home, or ever see our parents again. We may not even survive…"
"Well that's encouraging…" Sora said dryly.
"But this may be our only chance! I'm not afraid of the dark!" He said putting his hand out to Sora. Sora hesitated, but attempted to reach for his friend, not to join him, but to save him from the dark tendrils of doom that were eating him. He failed. Then dark. Then light! Then everything was normal, with the exception of Riku's presence. A voice called to Sora, who was now holding an extremely weird key-looking thing.
Keyblade…
Keyblade…
Keyblade…
Keyblade…
Keyblade…
Keyblade…
Keyblade…
"…What the hell is this?" Without much time to elaborate on the large, blunt, but surprisingly light object, Sora rushed off to the secret place. When he arrived he saw Kairi, who, like Riku was before, was just kind of standing there staring off into nothing. "Kairi!"
She turned around, and appeared to be holding Wilson. "So…ra…" then, the doors to the world flew open and, for some reason, there was a blast of wind that pushed Kairi's tiny body forward, and, well, Wilson was just a ball. Just as Sora was about to catch them, they DISAPPEARED! He was then thrown out where his whole island was a just one thing floating over an endless abyss of doom. From the ground came the shadow of evil from his previous dream.
Sora proceeded to kill it dead.
Unfortunately for Sora, his victory was short lived. He was then sucked up into an evil black hole of darkness. An with one final flash of doom, his whole world 'sploded. The resulting shock waves shot Sora into the next chapter.

(A/N: Okay, the whole thing with Wilson the blitz ball, is just a really lame 'Castaway' reference because they're like, stranded on an island and Wakka always has that ball so...yeah... also updates come slow, so don't be surprised if there's a two or three month long gap between chapters. Ha, sorry. I don't really think I even need to mention that I WANT/NEED reviews because, honestly, has there ever been a writer on this site saying "Don't review. I hate reviews."? No there has not.))
