Me: Second chapter is up, peoples! Updates will continue at this fast pace until we actually reach the chapter I am up to writing (can anybody guess where that is?)

Sora: I don't get it. Should I, the actor, be a girl Sora or a boy Sora?

Me: Well, seeing as in my story, you're a girl, I guess you should pretend your a girl, even off stage (ie. the story)

Sora: Oh... Okay!

Kairi: I don't care what you think, Mearad. You don't own Kingdom Hearts or the characters so nyah! *Kairi pokes a childish tongue out and laughs)

Me: Enjoy the reading and somebody please review or I will feel saddddddddddddddddd


Man, I'm tired…

"You know, that's the third time you've yawned." Kairi raised an eyebrow at her as they sat at their table. "We've still got maths left."

Sora groaned, her face hitting the table as another yawn escaped her. "Can't I-"

"No." Kairi smiled at her. "The test is tomorrow and you're going to sit and do some maths equations."

"But Kairi-" Sora began and from near the front of the class, Tidus shook his head, calling out to Sora as he did.

"You know it's not going to work Sora!" Tidus grinned, drawing Selphie's attention (the rest of the class were too used to this event occurring to really notice anymore and Selphie just liked to be entertained). "Kairi's impossible to disobey!"

Sora sighed, looking miserably outside the classroom as the truth sunk in.

The school was on the west side of Destiny Islands, on higher ground encase there was floods or bad storms-that way the youngsters of Destiny Islands were the most protected. Of course, Sora had no idea how they were protected seeing as storms mostly only happened at night when they weren't at school.

The class was murmuring softly to each other as they waited for their next teacher and their last session for the day-maths. They only had one more day of school after this and then it was freedom for the whole summer.

"I still can't believe Sora's going to stay and do some work. With Kairi there, she has no chance of sleeping through it" Tidus shook his head as he watched the fourteen year old brunette stare outside the window with a glum expression. "It seems Sora knows it too."

"You're forgetting one thing about Sora." Selphie giggled as she pointed at Kairi. "Sora's impossible to refuse."

Indeed, Kairi looked guiltily at Sora's miserable silence. In fact, he looked just about ready to agree…

And then the teacher walked in.

"Too late." Selphie giggled again at Kairi's crestfallen face. "But I'm pretty sure they'll sneak out somehow."

"True." Tidus grinned as he took his seat, staring at their maths teacher (who was bald and liked to wear a green shirt with flowers and black pants for nine days out of ten). "They always do that, after all."

"Well, Kairi is just as much a daredevil as Riku and Sora." Selphie whispered quietly. "And-"

"Ms Selphie, care to stand up here and solve this equation." The maths teacher frowned at her as he wrote an equation on the board. "Seeing as you're talking so much, why not show the class your skill."

Selphie sweat dropped but got up and tried to do the equation to the best of her abilities, nervous because she could feel everyone's eyes on her. Turning around, she paused as she headed back to her seat.

Well, she had almost everyone's eyes on her.

Kairi and Sora had already made their escape.

Five minutes later…

"And so, with the fish epidemic…" the teacher droned on and on.

"Psst."

Riku twitched but turned his head a fraction, letting them know he had heard them.

"We're skipping." Sora's eager voice whispered through the slightly ajar door. "You coming?"

Riku grinned a little, careful to keep his face blank a second later as he gave a slight nod. He closed his books up quietly, putting them in his bag so the teacher didn't notice him missing when he made his escape. Wakka seemed to have caught on instantly what Riku was doing but then again, Riku skipped with Sora and Kairi so many times that it was hard not to notice the signs when Riku was leaving.

Not to mention that Sora's and Kairi's faces were peeking out from the ajar part of the door.

Sora waved, beaming at Wakka as Kairi rolled his eyes and Riku resisted the urge to face palm.

Sora was always doing that.

"…boats travelled further than before and…" the teacher continued, not looking around at the half asleep class as he continued the history of some fish epidemic twenty years ago, speaking to the board.

What the heck did Riku need to know that for? He was going to be leaving Destiny Islands soon, after all. Besides, he wasn't the only one who thought history was a bore. Riku could see how half the class was either sleeping or passing notes to one another.

"…Lena conducted research on the cause-" the teacher stopped suddenly as somebody knocked on the door. "Come in."

Riku smirked. That was the signal.

Silently getting up out of his seat, a few glances went his way before the other 15yr olds went back to sleeping or passing notes.

They all knew what Riku was doing. It was why Riku always sat near the back door of a classroom.

Then Riku was out the door, schoolbag in hand, grinning at Sora. Turning his head, Riku smirked as he heard a few sniggers from his class as the history teacher continued to ask 'who's there' but Kairi only continued to rap on the front door, never opening it.

What an idiot.

"Pfft!" Sora held in her laugh, even as Riku nudged her and nodded to Kairi, who flashed him a grin in return.

"Let's go!"

The three of them ran down the hallway and out the school, intent on getting a head start to the play island.

2pm:

"Take that!" Sora shouted, launching forward and throwing all her weight into the attack against Riku.

Hopefully I'll catch him off guard!

"Omph!" Riku was thrown to the ground but before Sora could cheer, Riku had launched back towards her, kicking off from the ground and bulldozing right into her. "Ha!"

This time it was Sora on the ground, dizzy and winded as Riku grinned above her. Standing up properly, Riku stretched and grabbed the wooden sword out of his female friend's hand.

"I win." Riku smirked, looking back at Sora who was getting up and rubbing her arm. "I really thought you were better than that."

"Here."

Sora looked up to see Kairi smiling at her, extending a hand to help her up. "Thanks Kai."

Grabbing his hand and standing up, Sora was about to scowl when she noticed something. Grinning, she stood in front of Riku.

"Funny. You seem to be breathing hard." Sora smirked. "Not such an easy battle, after all?"

Riku scoffed but nudged her playfully. "As if you're a challenge."

"Come on, you two." Kairi grinned at them as they all walked to the back of the island where the coconut trees and the bridge was. "Knock it off. You've had your spar now."

"Fine." Sora grinned, watching as Riku walked in front of her and Kairi before an idea came to her.

"Sora…" Kairi warned, somehow able to read Sora's body language that she was going to do something.

"Relax."

And then Sora leapt at Riku's back, wrapping her hands around his neck and swinging off of him. "Wheeeeeeeeeee!"

Riku choked for a second, stumbling a little at the force of Sora jumping on his back. "S-Sora, what the heck?!"

Kairi burst out laughing as Sora continued to laugh and swing off Riku's back.

"Get off, idiot!" Riku shouted, trying in vain to pry Sora's fingers off from his neck. "Sora!"

And then Kairi launched himself on Sora's back and the three of them toppled onto the ground, two out of three erupting into more laughter.

"That was awesome!" Sora high fived with Kairi while Riku huffed.

"Why am I friends with you both?" Riku muttered and Kairi grinned.

"Because you love us and would be completely alone without us." Kairi poked his tongue out as the three of them got up and started walking passed the coconut trees.

"Hey, did you finish copying the book?" Sora asked as they reached the bridge, opening up a coconut by breaking it in half.

"Yep." Kairi nodded, accepting half of the coconut from Sora. "Father didn't even notice it was gone."

"That's good." Riku nodded, leaning against the rock wall. "We'll be able to start the raft as soon as school ends."

"Hey…" Sora asked suddenly, a frown coming onto her face before she sighed and shook her head. "Never mind…"

Riku and Kairi looked at each other, surprised. Sora was never able to keep her thoughts hidden from them.

"What's up?" Riku frowned, standing in front of Sora and looking down at her, trying to see her face. "What's wrong?"

"Do…" Sora frowned again, looking away and sighing.

"Come on, you can tell us." Kairi smiled, staring at Sora, biting his lip in the process. "What's wrong?"

"When we go to the other worlds…" Sora mumbled, her eyes flickering to her friends. "Will…Will we eventually split apart? You know, never hang out?"

Riku burst out laughing with Kairi, much to Sora's anger.

"I was being serious-" Sora began but Riku cut her off.

"I know." Riku grinned. "But that was just amusing."

"You're being stupid, Sora." Kairi chuckled. "We're leaving together and we'll stick together-through thick and thin."

Sora laughed nervously as a blush of embarrassment sprung up on her cheeks. "Sorry…"

"Don't worry." Riku said, nudging her slightly. "It doesn't suit you, Sora. Just leave the worrying to us."

Sora raised her eyebrows. "How does that make me feel better? Of course I worry too, you know."

Kairi smirked suddenly. "It's just Sora's a lot better at keeping a happy face then you are, Riku."

"Shut up." Riku huffed again as Sora grinned with Kairi again.


Me: Don't you just find their friendship adorable? I was almost squealing as I wrote these first few chapters!

Kairi: Don't worry everybody! We'll get up to the actual plot soon! As stated before, these chapters are just to show-

Sora: -How awesome the three of us are!

Me: I... suppose everyone could look at it like that, yeah. Well, review please!

Me: ... PLEASEEEE!
