Today is my last day of school before winter holidays. Then I will finally get some proper sleep and stop being stressed all the time, yay! (and also have more time to reply to reviews)

Theme: Sunny Holidays

"It's so hot… Why can't we have sea salt ice cream…?"

"So you're hot, uh? Perhaps that'll help!"

Sora screamed when Riku emptied a bucket of seawater on his head, and ran away when the younger boy started chasing after him. Kairi laughed as she looked at them.

"It's been so long…" They stopped running, looking at her. She was smiling, but her eyes were a bit sad.

"It's been almost two years since we finally got the chance to be together again. The three of us, no monsters, no fights, no… Just the sea, the sun, us enjoying our summer holidays."

Sora came closer to her and took her hand.

"But now we're back. And nothing will take us apart."

She laughed. "Don't make promises you can't hold, Sora. Things have changed. I will love you both forever, but I am aware the King will one day send another letter, another request, and you will both run to him. I know it and I don't mind. I just want to enjoy my time with you as much as I can."

The boys looked at each other, uneasy. They knew as well that now they knew what adventure tasted like, they would run to it with no second thought. But they felt sorry it would mean leaving her behind.

"Kairi, you have a keyblade too! Why don't you come with us next time?"

"I have one, but I'm not sure I want to use it. I like this peace, you know? I'm not a fighter."

"You sure are strong, though", replied Riku. "Remember that time when you slapped Sora? His cheek was red for three days long!"

"Hey, Riku! Don't remind me of that! And she slapped you too!"

Kairi glared at them. "That was for getting me worried all this time. And be sure if you go away for too long again, there are plenty more waiting for you."

They both recoiled, terrified and still remembering the pain of that day. Kairi gave them a bright smile. "For now, let's just enjoy our holidays, shall we? It's sure hot today. We need to go somewhere cooler!"

"I know the perfect place for that!" Cheerfully answered Riku. "Kairi, do you trust me?"

"Do I… Why, of course I do!"

"Is that so…" answered Riku, picking her off the ground and throwing her in the sea. "Well, you shouldn't!"

She started yelling as they both bomb dived next to her, splashing all over. She put her hand on Riku's head, putting all of her weight on him to try to sink him, and Sora helped her.

Splashing, laughing, screaming, they enjoyed their summer peace for as long as they could.

This fic ignores DDD, so I'd say it's happening after KHII ?

See you tomorrow~

Let's play a game! I tell you tomorrow's theme and you tell me what you think it could be about. (even if you read this long after the next prompt is posted, you can still play! Leave a review about what/who you think it might be about, then read the next one to check. I would be so interested to know about what comes to your mind with the themes!)

Next theme : Secret Legend
