10 years later...

Two young men were fighting in a mostly empty courtyard. One of them had spiked brown hair, and several medals clinking on his jacket. The other wore darker clothes, and his blond hair was swept in a cresting wave. Both had blue eyes and looked to be in their late 20s.

The first rolled behind the other, quickly sweeping their legs from underneath them.

"HEY!" the blond collapsed in a heap, the brunette smirking and extending his hand

"Need any help?"

The blond glared at his companions hand, and said "That was cheap."

The young brunette laughed while the blond accepted his hand. "Well I can't help it if I'm better than you, Roxas."

Roxas still looked annoyed, but smiled "I thought I was better!"

"Nope, that'd be me!"

They then got into a playful argument over who was the better one, which then escalated in a matter of moments.

"Says the pompous Captian!"

"Roxas!"

"The only reason you're so special Sora is because King Mickey likes you more!"

"He does not and you know that!"

Roxas then turned around in a huff, obviously annoyed. Sora put a hand on his shoulder "Hey, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Roxas, you're the best lieutenant I could ever ask for."

Roxas then grabbed Sora's arm and threw him to the ground, playfully saying "Got ya!"

Soda spluttered in surprise for a few moments, then said "Cheater!" Roxas only grinned "I think you've forgotten, Sora, that, having lived a year of my life as a Nobody, I know how to mask up my real feelings. It wasn't really cheating either, since all's fair in love and war."

Sora rolled his eyes, "Fine, fine. You got me." although he said it begrudgingly.

A young woman with cherry red hair sitting in the shade of a bush giggled. Sora looked over, annoyed "Gee thanks for having some faith in me, Kairi!" the woman's giggles escalated into laughter. A little girl walked up. Her hair was the same shade of brown as Sora's, but here eyes were clearly Kairi's.

"Mommy, what's so funny?! Daddy got beated by Unka Roxy!"

"UnCLE," Roxas corrected his niece. He then walked over and scooped her up, gleefully saying "How's my little ball of sunshine?" the girl giggled, and said "Fine."

Sora walked over to Kairi and gave her a quick kiss "I'm hoping Misty hasn't given you any trouble?"

Kairi kissed him back, and said "She's been our perfect little light."

Roxas set Misty down and looked around the courtyard, and checked his watch "Gosh darn it Namine, you were supposed to be here with-"

"HEY DAD!" a boy yelled, turning everyone's heads to the entrance of the courtyard. The boy had platnium blond hair, messily styled much like Roxas's, and icy blue eyes. Standing behind him was a woman about Roxas's age sharing the same coloration.

The boy snatched a large piece of paper from his mother and rushed over, proudly saying "Look what me and mom made!"

It was a portrait of our heroes of the Realm of Light, ten years ago, all beaming proudly.

"See, there's you, and Uncle Sora-" the boy paused, waving at his uncle "Hi Uncle Sora- and there's Aunt Kairi, and there's you and mom and Uncle Ven-"

"Hey! I'm here guys!" the very same young man waltzed in. "Sorry about being late! Got a little sidetracked." he noticed his nephew, and held out his hand in a high five "How's my awesome little nephew?"

The boy returned the high five, saying "Great, hey, look at what me and mom made!"

Ventus marveled at the drawing, the exclaimed "Wow Zephyr! Your mom has taught you really well!"

Zephyr beamed, obviously delighting in the attention.

"Hello? Anyone arriving for the anniversary yet?" Terra and Aqua walked in, in their hands a bouncy ten yeard old boy with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Hey mom, where's that Sora guy you keep talking about? I don't see him-"

"Right over here, you must be Pyrrhos!" Sora walked over, bending down to introduce himself "I'm Sora!" Pyrrhos grinned and then the two began babbling the things boys talked about, while Terra sighed to Kairi "They are one in the same." he looked around, and inquired "Where's Riku?"

Indeed, Riku had yet to arrive. Then, suddenly, he came dashing in, paler than usual and exclaiming

"Xion's in labor!" the buzz spread through the courtyard, Sora quickly rushing over to his friends side exactly like he had done 5 years earlier. "Hey! Thats great! Your gonna be a dad-"

"That's what I'm worried about! Am I really ready?! is it a boy or girl?! I mean- just- argh!" Sora only patted Riku's shoulder, rolling his eyes. It was remarkable, how quickly the stoic character had broken down.

Riku then bolted up and yelled "Wait, what in Kingdom Hearts am I doing here?! XION'S IN FREAKING LABOR! I gotta go, I'll see you guys later!" and he ran put of the courtyard, absently waving back.

Sora grinned "Well finally. We've been waiting for him to catch up!"

Kairi only rolled her eyes "Giving birth is such a lovely thing, isn't it?"

"Yeah!" Sora said enthusiastically. He then paused, and quickly muttered "Okay, I might be romanticizing it..."

Misty then innocently asked "Mommy, what's labor?"

Kairi stiffened a little, then said "It's really hard work."

"Then why is Unka Riku so uppity? Is it REALLY hard work?"

"Hmmm, in a way. I'll explain more when your older." she then patted her daughter along, saying "How about you go play with Zephyr and Pyrrhos?"

"Kay mommy!"

Sora sighed in relief "Geez, that was quite a bullet to dodge!" Kairi pecked his cheek, only saying "That's because you can't grow a pair."

Sora tugged her hair, snarking back "I think you already know I have!"

"Okay, quit it you two," Roxas sighed. He held Sora and Namines hands, Sora grasped Kairi's hand while Namine grabbed Ventus's, who grabbed Terra's hand, who was already holding Aqua's.

"We're here to celebrate, not gouge each others eyes out. Ten years ago we all became heroes and fulfilled our destinies. Now let's just sit back and let life do the driving."
