Me: Hello everyone! I'm just here to tell you I'm not going to write this story anymore... APRIL FOOLS!

Sora: What Mearad meant to say was she's just starting the sequel to Kingdom Hearts: Princes of Heart.

Me: That's right! So if you haven't read the first one... GO THERE RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW, RIGHT NOW!

Kairi: *sweat drops* ...She's gone stupid...

"…ra…! So…ra…!"

Eyes opened slowly. They blinked once. Then twice. White, white all around her.

The hospital…? No… Ah well, it doesn't matter… I'm tired…

"SORA, WAKE UP YOU LAZY IDIOT!"

"WHAAA!" Sora jumped a mile as Donald grabbed her and dragged her forward out of the capsule she had been in. "D-Donald, let go!"

The duck kept scowling, muttering under his breath as they walked towards Goofy. The trio were in a huge circular white room (It didn't seem to be a hospital). In fact, there was nobody around them at all and if it wasn't for the small patterns on the door, Sora would have panicked and thought there was no escaping the white void.

"Hey guys? Where are… *yawn*… we?" she couldn't help but yawn again, trying once more to fight off the tiredness in her limbs.

"Gwarsh, I dunno'" Goofy smiled. "What does your journal say, Jiminy?"

"Well… WHAT?!" Jiminy gasped. "The pages! They're all blank! How can this be?! All my precious recordings…"

Sora, Donald and Goofy looked at each other. All Jiminy's entries had vanished?

"I…Huh? Hang on, there's a few words here..." Jiminy opened the book to the last page. "It says: Thank Namine and Axel. Gee, I wonder what that means?"

Jiminy looked up when none of the trio answered, only to sigh when he found Donald and Goofy playing rock-paper-scissors and Sora inspecting her capsule.

"Huh? Did you say something Jiminy?" Sora returned, carefree and smiling. "And by the way, do you remember what we were doing last?"

"You don't even care…" Jiminy sweat dropped.

Sora laughed bashfully, scratching the back of her (much longer) hair. "Weren't we chasing after Pluto or something…AH!"

"The King's letter!" Donald said excitedly. "That means he got out safely!"

That's right. After we defeated Ansem and closed Kingdom Hearts, we thought Riku and the King were locked in but…

"Riku must of got out safely as well. Funny, it all feels so long ago now…"

"Well, ya' have grown quite a bit Sora. We musta' been sleeping for a while, hyuk!" Goofy pointed out.

"Geez… How long were we snoozing for anyway…?" Sora then shrugged. "Well, might as well check where we are. Maybe that will spark something in us, right?"

And so the trio (and Jiminy) walked, passing some sort of computer lab and continuing up the stairs towards the mansion foyer. Sora was just about to check upstairs when-

"Hey wait!" Jiminy gasped in alarm. "Where's your pal, Kairi?!"

"Eh?" Sora blinked… and clicked. "AHHHHHHHHH!"

Sunset Station

The train pulled in and a small figure dressed in a black coat stepped off the train. His face was hidden but he seemed to be easily noticeable. After all, two big round ears was not something the citizens of Twilight Town saw every day.

Sora, Donald and Goofy (Mansion Foyer)

"C-Come on Sora!" Donald said awkwardly. "C-chin up!"

Shadows of gloom clung to Sora like a leech and she didn't respond.

"Donald's right." Jiminy hopped on her shoulder. "It's not the end of the world. Kairi might just be waiting for you outside. Just because he wasn't here when you woke up doesn't mean he's gone."

"B-But… I forgot about him…" Sora whined pathetically. "What type of…*yawn* friend am I?"

"The type that's still sleepy!" Goofy laughed. "You probably just need a snooze, Sora. I'm sure Kairi will forgive ya' this one time."

Sora nodded hesitantly, standing up properly before scowling as a tuff of her spiky brown hair fell in her face. "Grr… Stupid hair growing longer without my permission!"

Donald and Goofy stared at each other before laughing quietly.

"She may look older…" Donald shook his head.

"But she's still the same inside, hyuk!"

Sora 'hmphed', exiting the mansion. Even though they had all been so noisy, nobody had appeared to tell them off. As such, Sora figured nobody was home and she'd just have to search outside the mansion.

But really, where did Kairi go? And why were we sleeping in there in the first place? I don't remember going in…. And did Kairi go to look for Riku and the king? But that still doesn't explain why we can't remember why we were sleeping… Which just brings us back to question number one… Where's Kairi?

"ARGH! I hate thinking so hard!" Sora shouted, ruffling her hair in dismay. "Stupid Kairi, not even bothering to leave a note! Stupid Riku, for locking himself in Kingdom Hearts…! …Stupid me… For not even being able to keep track of my friends…"

Another depressive wave of gloom washed over Sora and she sighed heavily. Looking back to make sure Donald and Goofy hadn't seen her 'sad' face, she was just about to head inside when she heard a small whoosh.

Instincts kicking in, Sora just managed to swerve and block what appeared to be a flaming, spinning chakram. It shot off back into the air and Sora's eyes followed it as a guy in a black hood caught it, stepping forward from the shadows.

"Who are you?!" Sora quickly summoned her keyblade, heart rate quickening as she got into a defensive stance.

Her body still felt sluggish but Donald and Goofy were both inside, unable to hear her. She knew she wasn't at her best and even now, the attacker was intent on fighting her. He remained silent, summoning his two chakrams again, both alight with flames.

This guy is no normal opponent…

"I knew it…" the cloaked person muttered as he took off his hood. "Do you recognise me, Roxas?"

Long, spiky red hair, blazing blue-green eyes, the mysterious attacker didn't seem bothered by Sora's defensive stance nor her stubborn refusal to answer. In fact, he seemed to take that as confirmation for something because he sighed.

"I just know I'll be turned to a dusk by the end of the day…" he muttered before without warning, launched forward to attack Sora again.

"W-Wha!" Sora couldn't bring her keyblade up in time but it turned out she didn't have to worry.

"I won't let you harm her!" Kairi appeared so deftly and skilfully in front of her that Sora wondered if she was still sleeping in the capsule. Was this really the Kairi who didn't know how to wield his keyblade in the End of All Worlds?

Quick as a flash, Kairi had deflected the guy's weapons and sent him crashing back a few meters with a well placed blizzard. Funny, as soon as Sora noticed this, she also noticed that she wasn't the only one who had changed. Kairi looked more broader in the shoulders now, his hair tied back into a small (barely there) ponytail. He was wearing a red top and black baggy pants, his shirt showing a picture of a seashell on it. He was also taller than Sora, which was a startling discovery considering they had been nearly the same height when Sora last checked.

Really… how long was I sleeping for if we changed this much?!

The attacker scoffed, standing back up and glaring at Kairi. "So it seems there is more than one traitor surrounding Sora, hey Kairi?"

Sora's eyes widened in confusion but Kairi snapped suddenly (he seemed to be much more short tempered than Sora remembered too).

"Of course I'm not a traitor! But I won't allow you to harm Sora to get-!"

"You think I care about that?!" attacker guy roared. "I just want Roxas back! You're the one who-"

Kairi interrupted. "I didn't think Riku would do that, okay?! I never thought he'd be that kind of-"

"And now we're at crossroads, huh?!" attacker guy laughed bitterly. "Of course it doesn't matter if nobodies don't get what they want. They can't feel, after all."

"You and I both know that's not true!" Kairi scowled. "Riku knew as well yet he still-…No, we don't know that. Axel, we can fix this but we can't do it as enemies!"

"But you believe that, don't you? That he betrayed you." The guy called Axel narrowed his eyes. "So give me one good reason why I should trust you."

Sora could see the conflicting emotions on Kairi's face and wondered just what the heck she had missed.

"Because… Because Roxas trusted me."

Me: Hmm... Axel and Kairi sure like cutting each other's epic speeches off, don't they?

Axel: But he's the one who started-

Kairi: I wouldn't have started it if you-

Axel: See, he's doing it again!

Me: ANYWAY... *coughs* What does everybody think? Surprising turn of events, right? *smiles happily* Don't forget to rate and review!

Hayner: Hey, when is Sora going to meet us-

Me: BYE BYE!
