A/N: Lmao. The most reviews always come with the last chapter. x3 I'm too lazy to correct the last chapter, but last night I remembered that Xaldin is still out there. I totally forgot about him. xD Oops.

Anyway, so, yes, this is the epilogue. :D Prepare to be amazed and all that. Also, this takes place about... two or three months after the last chapter.

Disclaimer-...Do I really have to say this? Dx

Jewel's Grove had been particularly lucky. At the very least, Nalani and her family had; they had not been separated after being torn from the world, and they had not lost their hearts. Ceron, on the other hand, had less fortune. His family was currently MIA and, like Stefa's mother, he had no idea what had happened to them.

Restoration happened quickly. For the homeless, the government was doing all it could to help. With the help of a few of her cousins, Stefa had been able to fix up her old house, and her family had finally moved into separate houses, which was just fine by her; everyone had been, in her memory, driving each other more than a little crazy from being in such close quarters. She, on the other hand, was somehow managing to live on her own... Though she did need quite a bit of assistance in paying for the bills (though, at the moment, it seemed that such things had been put on hiatus.)

Ceron, Nalani and Stefa were taking advantage of a particularly nice autumn day. "I can't believe how late we got back in," Ceron almost complained from his spot at the base of a tree that Stefa and Nalani were both sitting in.

"Just in time for school," sighed Nalani, "how convenient."

Stefa snapped. "At least we didn't get any penalties for being late."

"You mean considering the fact that pretty much everyone just got back to this world? We aren't that special," reminded Ceron. "Besides, you should talk. Do you know how much Nalani and I have to make up? We're going to be swamped with nothing but work if we want to graduate this year."

Stefa frowned. "But it's not your fault."

Nalani laughed, if not a little bitterly. "Since when has that ever mattered to our school? Regardless of whose fault it is, we need to get up to a senior level of education. Fortunately for me, there's more to Donald's feathered brain, so he was able to tutor me a lot. Unfortunately, you probably won't see much of me if the school has anything to say about it." Nalani glanced through the reddening leaves at her best friend, her lips set in a firm line as she treaded 'safer' ground, "So, there are still two Organization members out there?" They were all caught up on what had taken place after Nalani and Ceron were sent away from the fight outside of Kingdom Hearts.

Stefa eased herself back on the branch. "Yeah, there's just Xigbar and Luxord. Well, I guess there's Demyx too, but he's reformed... not that he was ever anything to worry about in the first place."

"Our senior year," Ceron mused as he looked up at the unusually bright sun. "I wonder what adventures this will bring us?"

"Hopefully none with keyblades," mumbled Stefa though, even as she said the words, she knew the truth. In the back of her mind, there were more things plaguing her. She felt like there were more enemies out there that she just was not thinking about, and it troubled her. She sat back up and held out both hands, only to have Shadow Heart and Sakura Dawning to flash into both.

Kairi sat at the kitchen table in the Radiant Garden with a look of disappointment clearly etched on her face. Ever since she and Naminé had reunited, it had been trips to the Radiant Garden and then back to Destiny Islands. She hadn't thought it practical to go to Jewel's Grove unless she had some good news for her friends there.

And, of course, there was none. There was no sign of Riku, Sora, Quince, or Roxas, nor of any remaining Organization members. Naminé was sure that Roxas was out there, leading the boys back to the light. Kairi sighed as she leaned back in her chair. Merlin chose this moment to poof right beside her, causing her chair to hit the floor with a crack. "I didn't mean to startle you, lass."

"It's alright, Merlin." Kairi fixed her posture as she looked up at him, "What's up?"

"I have something that may be of some interest to you," He told her as a book magically appeared into his hand. She stared at it with curiosity as he placed it on the table. It was a cute little book, the cover depicting Sora, a yellow bear, a bouncing tiger, and a little piglet. Her eyebrows shot up her forehead as she looked up at him. "My dear, this is the book of Winnie the Pooh. Sora has many friends in this book, but this book also has other secrets in it that Sora has never told me about."

Kairi glanced, briefly, at the kitchen's clock and promptly stood, drawing the book into her arms. "I'll keep that in mind, Merlin. Thank you." Once she reached the front door, she paused and glanced over her shoulder at the two women on the couch. "'Bye, Yuffie, Tifa."

Yuffie smiled sadly as the door closed. "Poor Kairi, she must be so lonely."

Tifa nodded. "I can understand how she feels. I wonder how those boys are doing..."

"I have faith in Sora. I know they're fine," answered Yuffie with a firm nod.

The path that had once led to Castle Oblivion did so no longer. Though they had followed the path for miles and miles and day after day, they never found it. Perhaps it had finally disappeared after they finished off the fighting there once and for all. Now, the boys had finally given up on following the seemingly endless path as they sat before a fire, their only source of light as the clouds were obscuring the moon. "I'm starting to feel grateful that we came up to Castle Oblivion before." Though it was nearly impossible for them to tell how much time had passed, they knew it had been a while since they had separated from the girls. Sora had maybe grown a little more, though Riku and Quince were still taller.

"At least we had a way to get back into a world with people in it," agreed Riku, whose hair had become shaggier. Maybe he had managed to become slightly taller, too. He noticed, as if from a distance, his best friend having some type of argument with Quince. It seemed to be less of an argument and more of the two of them taking digs at each other. With an exhausted sigh, he mumbled, "We'll find our way out."

Sora became serious right away. "Right. We promised." Unconsciously, he traced his lips with his index finger; he could still feel Kairi like she was right there beside him, and, somehow, he could feel Naminé, Stefa, and even Roxas.

A/N: There you go. It's not much of an epilogue-Well, at least, things aren't very obvious in it. Maybe for those of you who like to read in-between the lines can guess what might happen in the next fanfiction. ;D Fret not, the next fanfiction won't be the last. See you in the next story; it'll be up soon enough.
