Sora used his hand to shield the bright sun light as he opened his eyes. The waves were gently lapping the sandy beach as he sat up and looked around, another beauful day on Destiny Island. He closed his eyes and breathed in the salty, sea air. All was peaceful. He laid back down with his eyes still closed and took it all in. He suddenly noticed the sound of halting footsteps.

"Sora, you lazy bum," said a vioce had hadn't heard in a long time.

"Kairi?" yelled Sora opening his eyes, but was met with the view of a dark room. It had been a dream, just another dream. He reached over and checked his clock, midnight. The thought of going back to sleep crossed his mind, but he didn't want the pain of hearing Kairi's voice. He pondered this for a minute and decided that he wasn't tired anyway. He swung his feet off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Sora turned on the sink, cold water. He took a handful and splashed it onto his face and looked into the mirror. He watched as the water rolled down his face and back into the sink. It had only been three months since they had sealed the door, but it seemed like years.

"I need some air," he said as he walked back out to the room and picked his key blade up from leaning in the corner. He slung it over his shoulder and walked out into the calm night.

The gentle lunar light shone over the calming water. The gentle waves went to and fro on the dark sand. Silence filled the area. The soft light also illuminated a small figure through a window that faced the sea. The sound of gentle breathing came from the figure that was hunched over a desk in front of the window. She had obviously been doing homework when she had passed out from exhaustion, a name was written neatly across the top of the paper, Kairi.

She shifted slightly and her eyes opened lazily.

She breathed a heavy sigh,"Sora, why do you plague my dreams," she closed her eyes and a tear traveled down one cheek," When I can't be with you." She pulled herself up and stared out over the sea. The moon was at its peak of the night. She stared at the stars, the worlds that Sora had saved, the worlds in which she was royalty. A princess of heart. She focused on one star and look at it for a minute, a feeling of reassurance, safety, and love rushed over her.

The words came rushing back.

I'll come back to you... I promise...

"I know you will," said Kairi as another tear rolled down her cheek.

Sora gazed at the stars, the worlds, one star, one world, Destiny Islands. He gazed at it as an image of Kairi floated back into his mind. He suddenly snapped back to reality, the bright lights of Travers Town glowed in the streets below. He quietly sat on the roof of the gizmo shop gazing at the worlds.

"What are you doing out here?" said a stern, cool voice. Sora turned around and saw the courageous figure of Leon.

"Oh, hey Leon," said Sora turning back around to look at Destiny Islands.

"What's he doing out here? It's late, he should be in bed, they leave for another world tomorrow," thought Leon to himself," And what do I care about the kid? I guess he's old enough to make his own decisions." He turned to leave but stopped when he almost hit Yuffie standing behind him.

She quietly turned him around and pointed at Sora, still staring at the stars," He needs advise and guidance." hissed Yuffie in Leon's ear in a volume so that Sora couldn't hear.

"Why me?" whispered Leon back.

"Because I said so." and with that, Yuffie pushed Leon in Sora's direction. Leon walked over grudgingly, and sat down next to Sora.

"Your thinking about her, aren't you?" asked Leon in his normal, confident voice.

"Yeah." said Sora never looking away from the tiny speck of light in the velvety black sky. He suddenly looked at Leon," Say, do you think that if two people really love each other, they would know when one is thinking of the other? No matter the distance."

"You know," said Leon sitting back on his elbows," I'd say I believe just that, tell you what," he pointed at Destiny Islands," Look right at Destiny Islands, and send her some reassurance, maybe if she happens to be looking at this planet right now, something will happen."

Soar looked at the star again," Do you really think so?"

"No," thought Leon, but he decided false hope was better than none,"Yeah, I do."

Sora thought for a moment and decided what to say. He looked at the world and concentrated as hard as he could.

"I'll come back to you... I promise," whispered Sora under his breath so Leon wouldn't hear it.

"Well," said Leon standing up," It's late, and you have a big day tomorrow." Sora got up and started to follow him to the ladder.

"Did you say something?" asked Sora looking up suddenly.

"Nope," said Leon turning around to look at the boy. He looked at Sora, trying to figure him out. Then the unexpected happened, Sora suddenly charged forward and hugged him.

"Thanks Leon," said Sora letting go. He made his way down the gizmo shop ladder with the words he had heard still buzzing in his head.

I know you will...
