On a bright sandy beach, the sun shines warmly on the same spiky-haired boy, who opens
his sleepy eyes and sits up. He yawns, starting to lay back down again, when suddenly: a
girl’s face
????: Whoa!
The boy jumps back up and turns around, kneeling in the sand. The girl giggles,
hovering over him
????: Gimme a break, Kairi.
Kairi: Sora, you lazy bum. I knew that I'd find you snoozing down
here.
Sora: No! This huge, black THING swallowed me up! I couldn't breathe!
I couldn't--
She smacks him
Sora: Ow!
Kairi: Are you still dreaming?
Sora: It wasn't a dream! Or was it? I don't know.
He looks off toward the ocean, seeing the clouds billow in the sky
Sora: What was that place? So bizarre...
Kairi: Yeah, sure.
She walks past him toward the water
Sora: Say, Kairi, what was your hometown like? You know, where you
grew up.
Kairi stares out into the sea
Kairi: I've told you before, I don't remember.
Sora: Nothing at all?
Kairi: Nothing.
Sora: You ever want to go back?
Kairi (thinking): Hmm. Well, I'm happy here.
Sora: Really...
Kairi: But you know... I wouldn't mind going to see it.
Sora: I'd like to see it too. Along with any other worlds out there.
I wanna see 'em all!
Kairi (facing him): So what're we waiting for?
????: Hey!
They turn to see a silver-haired boy carrying a log
Riku: Aren't you guys forgetting about me? So, I guess I'm the only
one working on the raft.
He tosses the log to Sora, who falls over with a yelp, and walks over to Kairi
Riku: And you're just as lazy as he is!
Kairi (giggling): So you noticed. Okay, we'll finish it
together.
She jumps up and down as Riku sits down next to Sora
Kairi: I'll race you!
Sora: Huh?
Riku: What, are you kidding?
Kairi (giggling): Ready? Go!
Sora and Riku glance at each other before leaping up and racing across the beach. They
smile at each other as Kairi follows them, still giggling. Later, Sora talks to
Kairi
