A few nights later, Skye sat with his family at the dinner table. He spent the past few days thinking of what his father had gone through. Keyblades? Different worlds? Skye had just realized that he and his sister had never left Destiny Islands even once in their lives. Sure, he's met King Mickey, Donald and Goofy, but they came to the islands to meet Skye and Kari, who were both very little at the time. Maybe when they were about three or four.
"Mom, Dad?" asked Skye.
"What is it, Skye?" asked Kairi as she put down her fork.
"How come me and Kari have never left the islands?" asked Skye.
"What do you mean?" asked Sora, pouring himself some more iced tea.
"Well, after hearing that story, you described going to different worlds and meeting new people." explained Skye. "Why can't we go on vacation?"
"We do go on vacation!" said Kairi.
"No we don't!" protested Skye. "The only things we do for a vacation are going to Wacky Flags Magic Island and Crazy Land!"
"Yeah, Yuki and Kai get to leave to go see their grandparents all the way in Aunt Ryo's world, plus they go sledding, chocobo riding, and more!" said Kari. "How come we never go anywhere?"
Sora and Kairi turned to each other and stared at each other and then back to their kids.
"What makes you say that?" asked Kairi, taking some salad from her plate and putting it into her mouth.
"When you guys mentioned saving the worlds." answered Kari. "Aunt Hurky told us the rest of the story. Dad got to be turned into a merman and a lion!!"
Stupid Hurky! thought Sora. But then again, she's got nothing better to do all day since her son's with his father for the summer and the show's off season.
After dinner, Skye went to his room to think. He and Kari wanted to leave Destiny Islands, but their parents never took them out of Destiny Islands. Sora had gone a couple times to go to Disney Castle to see King Mickey and Radiant Garden with Kairi to see Leon and the others. Why couldn't Skye and Kari go anywhere? Life was getting pretty boring on these islands now that Skye and Kari were getting older. Even Melissa and Bryan got to go to Twilight Town about two years ago.
Skye sat in his computer chair, staring out the window. He noticed some storm clouds moving at a fast pace.
Maybe it's gonna rain, thought Skye.
There was a bit of lightning in the horizon along with the clouds. Skye saw the coconut trees move really fast and coconuts drop rapidly from the trees.
"The weather man didn't say a storm was in the forecast," Skye heard his mother say. "They said warm temperatures all week!"
"But sometimes the weatherpeople lie, Mom." said Kari.
Skye laughed to himself. This reminded him of the time the family went out for a day at the beach and ended up in a storm.
But then he stopped laughing when he saw sets of glowing yellow eyes roam on the sand outside. Skye immediately got up out of his seat and ran out the door. He ran over to the beach to find Yuki and Bryan.
"Guys!" yelled Skye.
Yuki and Bryan each had weapons with them. Yuki carried a wooden kendo sword her mother bought her years ago and Bryan armed himself with a baseball bat.
"The heartless!!" said Yuki. "They're back!!"
"There's only one thing we can do!" said Skye. He picked up his toy wooden sword. "Let's go kick their butts!"
Meanwhile, Sora and Kairi were sitting in the kitchen, drinking tea and talking.
"How come we never do take the twins out of Destiny Islands?" asked Kairi. "It never occurred to me until now."
"Because I want to protect them." explained Sora. "It's not like I can't afford to take them somewhere, it's just that I want to wait until they were older, like maybe fifteen or sixteen."
"I say they are already old enough." said Kairi.
"And besides, I don't think Skye and Kari would enjoy getting attacked by pirates and mean nasty lions like Scar!" said Sora.
Kairi gave Sora a dirty look and went back to sipping out of her teacup. Sora just sighed and added more sugar to his tea.
Suddenly, Riku burst in through the kitchen door.
"Sora, they're REALLY back!" he said, panting and beads of sweat poured down his face. He had obviously been running.
"Who?" asked Sora.
"The heartless!" cried Riku. "I think Yuki went to go fight them. Her kendo stick is gone! And she never touches that wooden sword!"
Back with the kids, Skye, Yuki, and Bryan were whacking the heartless silly but they were unfazed.
"It's no use!" said Skye. "They won't die!!"
Suddenly, a light shone along with a slashing sound and the next things the kids knew, the heartless were gone.
"Dad!" said Skye.
"Daddy!" cried Yuki, running to her dad and throwing her arms around him. She had to admit, she was scared.
"They outnumbered us!!" said Bryan.
Suddenly, an entire swarm of heartless came at them.
"Stand behind us!!" yelled Riku, moving Yuki behind him. Skye and Bryan followed suit behind Sora and Riku.
The heartless ran towards them and Sora and Riku started slashing with their keyblades. The heartless all disappeared but more kept coming.
"There are too many of them!!" cried Sora.
Then, out of nowhere, a light shone and Skye felt something fall into his hands. When the light disappeared, Skye noticed a keyblade just like his mother's, only it was blue with yellow stars on it.
"Is that what I think it is?" asked Sora...
