I Just got back from vacation, and Im pumped to start this new fic. I've got a lot of cute fluff ideas, which is basically, all the story is going to be. Lol. I read tons of Nora Roberts books, so she made me want to write even more since they were so good. I hope ya'll are having a wonderful summer!

A/N: This story takes place after the ending of Kingdom Hearts 1, so Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 2 never happened. Im making the story partially AU, since im making it three years after Sora had to leave. So, Sora and Kairi are 17.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Nada.

Sora: I'll come back to you I promise!

Kairi: I know you will!

Sora: ...Nah, I was just kidding.

He was back. His mission was completed, for now. He parted from Donald and Goofy at Disney Castle, and with the kings help, somehow appeared here. Home. The island was restored back to normal for the most part. It looked the way it had been when he left it nearly four years ago. Peaceful, serene, complete. The feeling made his hand dig into his pocket and clutch onto a purple flower key-chain with a drawn smiley face. The Oathkeeper.

His thoughts immediately went to the girl he left a few years ago and a small smile crept onto his face. Was she here? Or was she at the main island? How different did she look now? How would she react when she saw him?

"Sora!" The red-headed beautiful young woman yelled as she ran over to him and flung her arms around his neck in a tight hug.

Shaking his head, a light blush covered Sora's cheeks. He decided to head over to the main island and see his mom first, and then look for Kairi right afterwards. Walking down the wooden deck, he jumped down into his boat, somewhat surprised it was still left un-touch after all these years. He untied the knot that held his boat and started to row off towards the island behind him.

Kristy Young wiped her hands roughly against her white apron as she let out a frustrated sigh, "This is the last time I promise to do the WHOLE bake sale by myself for the Church!"

A sudden beeping noise filled the kitchen and Kristy turned towards her oven. Opening it, she placed the uncooked cookie batter into the oven, closed it, and set a baking time.

"Now only for the brownies and-" The doorbell cut her off and Kristy poked her head to the side, looking down the hallway where the front door was. Blinking, a confused expression crossed her fair face as she walked towards her door. Trish wasn't suppose to come over for another hour.

Unlocking the door and opening it, Kristy already began talking, "I thought you weren't coming for another-" Her cobalt eyes grew wide as she stared at the person in front of her, "S-Sora!"

"Uh, hey mo-" Sora started to give her his famous "cheesy" grin until he was nearly choked to death, "Argh! Mom!"

"Oh my god honey! Sora! It's you!" Stepping back, she rose an eyebrow, "It really is you isn't it? Oh, what am I saying! Of course it's you! Honey, never take off like that again! You hear me? Oh my god I missed you so much!"

Sora patted his mom strongly on the back so she would let go and actually let him breathe. Kristy Young gave her a son one last really tight squeeze before stepping away.

"So, how are you? Honey, you've gotten so cute," Sora's mom leaned forward and pinched his tan cheek. I mean, really, did she make this handsome hunk? He stood at the height of 6'2 that he obviously inherited from his father, had an all-year around tan, grew some muscle, and his hair was slightly lighter and longer since she last saw him. The only thing that hadn't changed was his eye color, it was still the marvelous cobalt blue that made you believe they can see through anything.

"Thanks mom, and I'm doing great. I just got home for Disney Castle," Sora's mom already knew most about her son's adventure from Riku, "Now that I know you're doing okay, I'm about to go check on Riku and Kairi. If that's fine with you?"

"Of course it's okay- uh wait," Sora noticed his mom pale slightly, "Did you say Kairi?"

"Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh. Remember, Kairi? My other best friend?"

"Oh right, right. Kairi," Kristy tried her best to keep the smile on her face. Not being able to resist, she flung her arms around her son's neck again, "Be strong baby!"

"Wha-Mom? What's with you?" Sora asked, frowning down at his mother with concern. He knew his mom was naturally weird, but now she was just being too weird.

"I-" No, it wasn't her place to tell him, "couldn't resist my sugar rush. I tend to say random things when I have to do a whole bake sale by myself."

"Uh, right. Well I'm going to go. I'll see you later," Sora turned around and opened the door.

"Wait!"

Raising an eyebrow, Sora glanced over his shoulder at his mom, "Yes mom?"

He just arrived here. He already has to get hurt?

"Can you pick me up some flour?" She asked, placing a few dollars into Sora's hand.

"Sure thing," Sora opened the door and stepped out of his house before his mom gave him another thing to do, "Later."

"See ya," Folding her hands in front of her, Kristy walked back into the kitchen and glanced in the food closet. On the highest shelf were four bags of flour.

"Selphie! I'm open!" A cerulean-eyed girl called, waving one of her thin arms in the air. The soccer ball went soaring her way and landed right in front of her. Quickly getting the ball in her control, she cleverly ran the soccer ball down the field towards one of the park's old goalie boxes. The girl's sleeveless gray shirt was soaked with water and her semi-long crimson hair wiped violently behind her in it's ponytail.

Kairi flung her leg slightly back and powered the ball into the net. Selphie's cheers and Tidus's and Wakka's moans shortly came afterwards.

"Yay! We won! Whoo!" Selphie ran over to her teammate and gave her a high five, "That means you guys have to pay for our drinks!"

Kairi giggled as she watched Tidus and Wakka give each other displeased looks.

"Who's the best? Who's the best?" Selphie repeated as she danced around her blonde boyfriend. "Aw, lighten up."

"Me? Lighten up? You're the one who needs to lighten up!" Selphie laughed as she wrapped her arm's around Tidus's torso, "I still love you."

"Yeah Yeah."

"It's only drinks, ya," Wakka confirmed, walking down the sidewalk with his three friends as he spun the soccer ball on his index finger.

Kairi, who was walking slightly ahead of the group, nodded, "At least it was a good game."

"Yeah, it was," Tidus agreed as he walked hand-in-hand with Selphie.

"We should do this more-" The rest of Kairi's words were knocked out of her from hitting someone square in the chest. A hand grabbed her arm in a tight grip to prevent Kairi from falling on her butt.

Sora stared down at the young woman he accidently bumped into, "I'm so sorr- Kairi?" Sora immediately let go of her at the realization. Kairi landed square on her bottom. Tidus's jaw nearly hit the ground, Selphie's eyes nearly popped out of her head, and Wakka accidently hit himself in the head with the soccer ball. But not at her falling.

"Yeah, that's me," Kairi gasped out as she rubbed her sore bottom.

"Kairi? It's me! Sora!" Sora nearly yelled as he looked down at the girl in front of her.

"...Who's Sora?"
