This is a fanfic I wanted to turn into a chaptered horror fic. A sort of "What would have happened if Kingdom Hearts never happened" sort of thing. Of course, my mind lacks enough creativity to actually write a horror story so of course it just turned into complete fluff.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.

Alternative Destiny

I breathed in the salty air, taking in the warm sand, the children's laughter, and of course the ocean itself.

"Hey, Sora, what are you doing lying around? Get up and get in the water!" A silver haired teen called out before a wave towered over him, taking him under. Riku resurfaced in a few seconds, spitting out the sea water and coughing.

A girl giggled, "Well, he is right…Get up, you lazy bum!"

"If I'm not mistaken," I smirked at my crimson haired friend as I began to sit up, "You're the one that we had to wait for this morning because you woke up at eleven instead of ten, Kairi."

"Like I said the other day, you're both lazy." Hearing Kairi shriek from my side, I was about to jump up; but I was too late. I cringed as I felt ice water poured down my back.

"Gah!" I exclaimed, jumping up, "What was that for!?"

"I don't know, really. But it was amusing." Riku replied with a smirk.

"We have to think of something to get back at him for that one, Sora." Kairi stated with her arms wrapped around herself, shivering from the cold.

"Yeah, definitely." I nodded with a small smirk

"Pfft, what could you two possibly do to me?" Riku gave another defiant smirk with the crossing of his arms.

"Oh, we'll think of something, trust me." I replied, grinning.

"Um, guys, can we go home? I really need to change…" Kairi asked in a whimper.

"No, Kairi, we're just gonna sit here and deprive you of dry clothes." I retorted sarcastically, then held out my hand to help her stand up.

"Okay," She replied, taking my hand and I pulled her up.

"Aw, c'mon Kairi. Let's just stay here; your clothes will dry eventually. Look at me and Sora, we walk around in wet clothes all day and we don't have a problem with it." Riku protested. He never wanted to get off the island. Yet it was still his idea to venture to other worlds.

"Well, you two can stand it; I can't. Besides, it's about time to go home for lunch any way." Kairi answered as she wrapped a violet towel around herself.

"Okay. Let's eat lunch at Sora's, then. His house is always stored with junk food." Riku stated in a compromise.

"Okay, fine with me." I responded with a roll of my eyes. My house wasn't always filled with junk food…

Well, okay. Maybe it was. But still…

"Okay, let's get going then," Kairi started to walk towards the dock and I started to follow before Riku called me back.

"Hey, aren't you going to help me up?" Riku asked lazily.

"No, you're not special." I replied with a smirk.

"And Kairi is?" Riku crossed his arms, an eyebrow raised.

"Yup." I laughed.

"Oh, I see how it is," Riku responded with a grin, pulling himself up and begin to ruffle my hair, "Sora's in loooove."

"Hey, cut it out!" I jumped backwards with a glare, a blush beginning to surface across my cheeks.

Walking away, Riku smirked, "You know you are, Sora."

"So what if I am…" I muttered under my breath before I made my way to the dock where Kairi and Riku were waiting.

"C'mon, hurry up, Sora! You have to row me too, remember?" Kairi called out as I began to get closer to the dock.

Breaking into a run and filling my shoes with sand in the process, I finally made it to the dock. "Sorry, I forgot the storm destroyed your boat…" I apologized, scratching the back of my head with a sheepish smile.
