Woohoo, I got this done extra early and couldn't wait to get it out to you guys, so you get it early too :D

The next morning, as the sun was rising, the three met on the beach where they had left their raft, supplies in hand. Following Riku's instructions, Sora and Kairi helped him make sure the supplies were strapped on tight and made as waterproof as possible. Once all was in order, they pushed off and, with a nice breeze to their backs, they started on their way to the island under wind power. As the three relaxed on the raft, their beach sinking from view, Riku said to Sora "You surprise me Sora." Kairi nodded her agreement as Sora said "Huh?"

"When we were fighting to name the raft, I thought I was going to have to go easy on you, but you not only held your own but you beat me fair and square." Riku explained. "Yeah, I didn't know you had it in you Sora. Where did you learn to fight like that?" Kairi asked. Sora blushed and said "You'll laugh if I tell you." "No we won't." Riku said, with Kairi adding "We promise we won't." Sora looked down at the wood of the raft, debating on whether or not to tell them.

What if they didn't believe him? They would think he was weird, maybe even tease him the whole time they were at the island, or even worse yet they might turn the raft around and head back. Maybe they would even stop being his friends! But what if they did believe him? What if they could help him figure out if they were just dreams or some kind of weird memory? Finally he nodded and said "Okay, I'll tell you."

The two scooted closer as he asked, "Remember how I have no memory from before I woke up that day?" They both nodded, not really sure where he was going with this. "Well that's not really true, or maybe it is, I don't know. The memories I do have may have just been dreams, but either way it is where I learned to fight." Sora said, before telling them everything he remembered of his dreams, ending with those last few moments that happened, or seemed to happen, right before he woke up.

He didn't dare to look up, not wanting to see what their expressions would tell him. If he had he would have seen Kairi and Riku share a look before Kairi slowly starts with "Sora, I don't know why, but I do believe you and that those are memories." Sora looked up in shock as he asked "Really?" Kairi nodded as Riku cut in, "In a weird way it all makes sense, though I'm not sure why." The rest of the trip was made with them trying to figure out why Sora had those memories, like did they belong to someone else and somehow get swapped with his, but nothing ever seemed quite right.

Their days at the islands passed in fun, thoughts of Sora's predicament didn't seem to be on anyone's mind, that is until the fourth night. As they sat around a fire, making S'mores, Riku said "I think I know how we can tell for sure if those are Sora's memories." Kairi and Sora stared at him in shock, both for him having thought of something like that and for bringing it up seemingly out of the blue. Kairi was the first to recover and ask "What is it Riku?" "Well he says he fights with a weapon called a Keyblade right? So why don't we see if we can get it to appear?"

Sora looked at his hand as he said "I've tried doing what I did in the dreams, but nothing happens." "Maybe we need to recreate a battle type element of surprise. Starting tomorrow, Kairi and I will start jumping out of the bushes, etc to scare your instincts into helping out." Riku said, as he leaned back against a log that was behind him. Sora smiled and said "Ok, whatever we can do to make it work!"

Two days of his friends jumping out of him and it didn't look like Riku's plan would work. It was the day they were supposed to depart from the island, but a storm was brewing, so Riku said they should stay put. "I'll go looking for firewood." Sora said, as the other two worked on getting their remaining supplies tucked away and the beaching the raft as far from the water as they could. As Sora walked through the woods, he felt like someone was watching him. "I bet one of them is going to jump out at me, but why are they wasting time when there is so much to do and so little time?" he thought to himself.

Suddenly, something was swung at his head and only his instincts saved him. He didn't summon the Keyblade, but rather ducked. Turning to the source, he saw a man dressed all in black, with a hood over his head, much like the Organization members. Unlike the members, however, this man held a Keyblade. After giving Sora a second to study him, the man attacked once more, staying silent as he did so. Sora kept dodging but finally the man landed a strike, knocking Sora to the ground. Instead of continuing his attack, the man waited for Sora to stand up again.

The man then came at him again, only this time another instinct kicked in. Sora blocked the attack with his hastily summoned Keyblade, before hopping back, but there was no need. The man did not continue his attack. "Who are you?" Sora demanded. The man didn't answer, but rather said "Congratulations Sora, you did it! Give yourself a round of applause! Now, it's time for you to go home like a good little boy." "Not until you tell me who you are!" Sora proclaimed.

"Fine, have it your way. I'm who they call Master of Masters, though some call me Mom for short." The man said, slumping forward briefly before standing, almost heroically. Sora was about to question him more, when the Master of Masters said "You know Sora, you really need to be more careful with that waking power. You almost wiped yourself out of existence! Good thing for you the version of you from this alternate timeline let you take up residence for a while, worked out pretty good for him too, now he isn't on bedrest anymore."

"What do you mean alternate timeline?" Sora questioned. "This, it could have been you, except never getting out of bed, but for the single choice made by one person in the past. Funny how something that seems so microscopic can cause such a wave in the future, isn't it?" Master of Masters answered, "Anyways, now that you've remembered how to recall the Keyblade, you can go home now!" "Really!?" Sora said, getting excited, before calming down and turning back to the beach where copies of Riku and Kairi were standing.

"Being here isn't so bad, I still have Kairi and Riku for friends and life is so normal, sometimes I forget what normal is these days." He thought to himself, but either he also said it out loud or the Master of Masters could read minds as he replied, "This version of you is suspended and will remain so until you go home, do you really think it's fair to keep him from his friends, your friends? Don't forget you have lots of others waiting for you, some who wouldn't exist without you, like Roxas."

"How do you know so much about me?" Sora demanded, earning a laugh from the man who simply said "Let's just say I've been keeping my eye on you. Besides, it was a lot of work to get you to remember what you did, I had to put Kairi and Riku in your path, I had to help you summon the Keyblade, geesh show some gratitude." Sora looked down, looked back towards the beach, before asking "What will happen to them? Will they remember what I told them?" "No, they will only remember this Sora being the Miracle Boy who finally was able to get out of bed, he'll have all his memories from before and some of yours from after, minus the ones where you were confused, etc, etc."

Sora gazed longinly for one more minute, before turning back and saying "Okay, I'm ready." "Great, away you go!" Master of Masters said, and with a bright flash, Sora had left that world, replaced by the Miracle Boy Sora, who after a moment of confusion, started picking up wood to be used for the campfire.

Everyone was having fun on the beach, playing games, making sand sculptures or just looking for shells. Kairi and Sora sat in a tree, before Sora started to fade and then altogether vanished. But then suddenly, with a bright flash, he was right back beside her. "Sora!" Kairi exclaimed, hugging him. "I'm home!" Sora said, returning her hug.

When Miracle Boy Sora got back home he went up to his room, caring a seashell that he had found on the island right before leaving. Opening a box that held things that were special to him, he carefully set it on the floor beside him, before pulling everything out. When it was done he was surrounded by many dolls, all that he had made himself during those countless hours when he was in bed, ones that he had made stories up for of adventures he would go on and people he would meet. Looking at them, he smiled as he thought how odd it was he had found a real Kairi and Riku and he wondered how many of his other "friends" were really out there and if they would ever meet.

And we're done :D So I'm not sure how many of you have ever seen that picture where Sora was surrounded, while lying in bed, with all these dolls of Axel, Roxas, Kairi, Riku, etc and every time I saw it they were like what if Kingdom Hearts is all the adventures Sora would love to go on but can't, so he makes dolls and these stories up to occupy his time, etc (or some variation of that wording anyways) and so I thought I would tackle it and give it my own spin :D

Miss Securis: You don't know how much I wanted to tell you that you were correct when you said you thought it could be M.O.M. good job on the guesswork! I hope I captured him right, sometimes he didn't feel like I got him, he is such a quirky character, but I think I managed to capture him correctly most of the time. Thanks again for the review and for the awesome messages you sent me!
