Skye lunged for Yuki and shoved her out of the way. She fell off the paopu tree and hit the ground.
"Ow..." she whined.
Two more heartless rose up from the ground.
"What the heck are those things?" asked Bryan.
"I don't know," said Skye, feeling very scared. "But let's get out of here!"
The three began to run, but then about six more heartless rose up and surrounded themselves around Skye, Yuki, and Bryan.
"We're screwed." gulped Bryan.
Suddenly, a blonde haired woman in a pink dress and high heels and a brown haired woman wearing glasses and a navy blue business suit came onto the paopu tree and began to hit the heartless with big keys in their hands. One by one, the heartless began to disappear as they were hit. Finally, they were all gone.
"Mom?" asked Yuki.
The blonde haired woman made her keyblade disappear and turned to Yuki. It was Ryo.
"Are you all okay?" asked the brown haired woman, dusting off her skirt.
"I think so, Aunt Hurky." said Skye. He and his sister and friends referred to Riku, Ryo, Hurky, and Alexa and her husband as Aunt or Uncle.
"What were those things?" asked Bryan.
Hurky turned to Ryo with an expression on her face that said, "Should we tell them?"
"Uh, they were monsters!" lied Ryo.
"Then what were those weird big keys you were hitting those monsters with?" demanded Yuki.
"Just keyblades." replied Hurky. "Special weapons."
Ryo looked at her watch. "Whoops, I better go. I left Kai watching Rei. She gets a little worried when I'm not around." She began to run off.
Ryo and Riku had just recently had their third child, their second daughter named Rei, just two months ago. Kai liked her and cared for her, but Yuki absolutely adored her. She enjoyed feeding, bathing, and playing with her new little sister. She had Ryo's blonde hair and Riku's green eyes. She was also always quiet unless she needed something, like a bottle, diaper change, or a burping. Riku and Yuki both cried a lot as babies for fun.
"So, now that's over!" said Skye with his frown turning into a smile. "Let's all go to the smoothie shop!"
"Alright!" cheered Bryan.
Yuki dug through her pockets for her money, to make sure she had it, but didn't. "Aw man, I left my money at home. Let's go to my house and pick it up real fast!"
She, Skye, and Bryan all ran to Yuki's house. They walked in through the living room door, where Ryo was already in there, holding a blonde haired baby wearing pink pajamas.
"Hi Mom!" said Yuki.
"Hi guys!" said Ryo, ignoring that fact that she had just fought off a bunch of heartless.
A boy with blondish brown red hair wearing khaki pants and a blue polo shirt walked in, carrying a laptop. A pair of glasses were in front of his blue eyes.
"Hey Kai." said Skye and Bryan at the same time
"Hey guys!" said Kai, with his eyes glued to his laptop.
"What are you up to, now, Kai?" asked Yuki out of curiousity.
"Oh, just trying to change Melissa's grades on her report card." explained Kai. "I took her report card and scanned it into my computer. Now, I'm using the paint program to...change...it?"
"What was that?" asked Ryo, cupping a hand to her ear.
Kai jumped in shock, just realizing what he had just said. "Uh, nothing!" he lied. "Gotta go! See you all later!"
He sped off to his room.
"Weird..." said Bryan.
Meanwhile, back at Sora and Kairi's house, Hurky was sitting in the kitchen at the table with Kairi, sipping on some iced tea. Hurky told Kairi about the incident on the paopu tree with the heartless.
"Heartless came and attacked our kids?" asked Kairi, alarmed.
"Yeah, but Skye, Yuki, and Bryan are okay." said Hurky, taking a sip of her tea.
"So does this mean that the heartless are back?" asked Kairi worriedly. "After 20 years of being wiped out...Sora better be ready to be called into duty again."
"Hey, where is Sora?" asked Hurky.
Over at Alexa's house. Sora, Riku, and Alexa's husband Ryan, a man with brown hair and brown eyes, were painting the outside of Alexa and Ryan's house. Sora, Riku, and Ryan were all wearing old clothes ready to have paint splattered on them. Alexa and her daughter, Melissa, stood by and watched. It was always fun to watch Sora and Riku do crazy stuff when it came to household projects. Last time, Sora accidentally pinned Riku to a wall with a nail gun while trying to build a fence for Riku and Ryo. It took Ryo and Sora several hours to remove the nails and Riku from the wall.
"Are you guys ready?" yelled Ryan from the ground.
"Ready!" said Riku, suspended on a rope and holding a bucket of light pink paint and a paintbrush/roller thingy.
"Uh, Riku? Are you sure this is safe?" asked Sora, holding the rope that was tied around Sora.
"Relax, Sora, I know what I'm doing! My dad used to do this and everything turned out fine." said Riku. "Now let 'er rip, Sora!"
Sora let go of some of the rope as Riku began to steadily walk off the roof, but then he was too heavy due to his muscles and fell off the roof, taking Sora with him.
"WWHHHHOOOOOAAAAAAA!" they both yelled as they fell. Riku fell into the tree while Sora hit the ground.
"Guys, are you okay?" asked Ryan, rushing over to Sora. He held up two fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Ugh, Mr. Whiskers? Is that you?" asked Sora, dazed, remembering his late rooster who passed away before he went off to college years ago.
"He's okay." said Melissa.
"Good, Sora's fine, but WHAT ABOUT ME?" yelled Riku, still hanging from the tree.
"Hold your horses, Riku!" said Sora, back to normal.
Ryan and Sora went to go help Riku out of the tree.
"Maybe you guys should use ladder?" suggested Alexa. Right when she turned to her left, she saw Hurky and Kairi walking up to her.
"Guys, we need to talk," said Hurky. "About the situation over 20 years ago."
Alexa nodded. She turned to Melissa and gave her some munny. "Why don't you go to the smoothie shop and meet your brother there?" she suggested.
Melissa nodded and walked off. Sora and his friends all referred to the time of the heartless as "the situation over 20 years ago."
"Uh, why is Riku in a tree?" asked Kairi.
"Long story," Sora said with a sigh. He pulled at Riku, where he accidentally got his hair.
"Ow! That freaking hurts!" cried Riku.
"Maybe you should cut your hair!" said Ryan, also pulling at Riku.
"Yeah, when was the last time you cut it?" asked Hurky.
"2 years ago!" Riku said.
"So, what exactly happened?" asked Sora.
"Skye, Yuki, and Bryan were attacked by heartless at the paopu tree!" said Kairi.
"Are they okay?" asked Ryan. When Alexa married Ryan, she told him about the heartless and everything, so he knew.
"They are, thanks to us," finished Hurky.
"We have to tell them!" said Riku. Suddenly, he fell out of the tree and landed on his butt. "Ow."
"Why?" asked Sora.
"Let's face it," Riku said, standing up and joining everyone else. "Our kids are bound to find out about the heartless anyway! Just tell them! In my opinion, I think we should have told them when they were younger, but every time I did try to tell them, Ryo threatened to me to have all the hairstylists on Destiny Islands not to style my hair!"
"You keep your hair in a ponytail and nobody can see how pretty it is." said Alexa. "You should get it cut!"
"WILL EVERYONE LAY OFF MY HAIR?" cried Riku. "Sora's hair still defies gravity but I don't see anybody bugging him about it!"
"Because Sora can't do squat about his hair!" Hurky shot back.
Later that afternoon, after Alexa's house was painted and Riku, Sora, and Ryan were into their regular clothes, the adults went to Sora and Kairi's house wait for all their kids to show up. They had decided to tell them what had happened in the past...
Hurky: I'd put more, but I'm out of time! I gotta put this up before I get kicked off!
Riku: This chapter will be continued next time. Later.
