Chapter one
It was another stunning day on the Destiny Islands. The sun shone down on the busy islanders, and fifteen year old Sora was just stirring from a deep sleep...
"Uhhhh" yawned Sora, stretching up in bed. "Mmmm.."He closed his eyes and listened to the waves on the beach. Even from his house the sounds of the beach were audible. Maybe he could just lie in for a few more minutes.... Sora rubbed his head back into the pillow, falling back into sweet dreams...
BANG!!!
"Woah!"Sora jolted up, his head throbbing from moving so quickly. "What the....?" he murmured. BANG! It happened again. Somebody was throwing rocks at his window!
"HEY do you mind some of us are.... Oh!" Sora leant out of his window and was surprised to see the smiling face of one of his dearest friends below. " I...erm.. Didn't mean to yell at you like that, K-K-Kairi." Sora blushed. The girl shook her head, her crimson hair sweeping back and forth. Man, could she get any prettier, thought Sora. His mouth hung half open.
"What are you on about?" The girl below said. "Kairi? I'm not Kairi? It's me, Selphie!"
To Sora's confusion the girl's face changed to show the perky face of Selphie. The red hair changed to brown and Sora frowned.
"Huh?" He muttered.
"Are you still dreaming?" Selphie giggled, giving him an odd look. "Come on, you should have been up ages ago! We're all waiting for you at the island!"
"But were not meeting till one right?" Sora said.
"Checked the time recently, sleepy head?" Selphie grinned and skipped away, her yellow dress swaying back and forth. Sora had a look of puzzlement on his face and checked the time on his alarm clock. Half one!? How could he have slept that late? He bundled on his clothes, stopping just to splash his face with cool water. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Sora made a mental note to himself to attempt to comb his bushy hair later.
Ten minutes later, Sora was on the small island made base by him and his friends. Walking across the sands he spotted familiar faces coming towards him.
"Finally decided to get up did you?" Smirked Riku, his silver hair bright in the sunshine. Sora knew better than to comment back, instead putty his best scowl on his face. He hated Riku's teasing.
"Im only kidding, Sora" he said, patting Sora's back.
"Are we gonna get started or what?" Said Wakka, joining the two boys.
"Yeah!" Voiced Tidus.
"Erm, why exactly did you make us all gather here, Riku?" Asked Sora uncertainly.
Riku raised his eyebrows. "Don't tell me you guys don't realise what day it is today?"
"Erm yeah sure its Tuesday!" Said Selphie brightly, "And its holidays!"
"No.." Riku shook his head. Sora looked around the circle to see similar expressions of confusion on their faces.
"What then?" Asked Tidus.
"Its Challenge day remember? Do you guys have that bad a memory?"
Realisation sunk in. Every year all Sora's friends battled it out with their own weapons to see who was the toughest. It had been a tradition since they had been small, and now it was all coming back to Sora.
"Wait a sec... " said Wakka, pointing at Riku, "You and Sora will beat us all with those Keyblades of yours! That's unfair!"
"Which is why me and Sora will be fighting with these" Chuckled Riku, throwing Sora a flimsy wooden sword.
"Oh man...." Said Sora. Now he would be beaten by all and face the shame. Even Selphie would beat him, and she was the weakest fighter. Riku laughed.
"Don't worry Sora, how badly can you get hurt?"
*******
Sora collapsed down next to Riku. "Uhhhh" His face screwed up in pain as he lay down on the beach sands. "I am never going through that tradition again, Riku."
"Aww, come on Sora, you get that hurt by simple island weapons?"
"Trust me Riku, that nunchuck of Selphie's lashed me in places you don't wanna know about. I'm gonna be covered in bruises tomorrow"
Riku smiled and leaned against the palm tree. "Here join me" He said. The boys sat side by side, watching the sun sink into the sea. The water was dyed a bright orange. Riku's hair looked red in this light. Sora felt almost at peace, despite the dull aching in all his limbs. He scanned the horizon, watching faraway birds head home for the night. Gentle waves broke on the beach. A light breeze started to pick up.
"Sora?" Riku said. Sora looked across at his best friend and nodded. "I..."
"Go on..." Sora encouraged.
"I.. I just wanted to ask.. What's going on between you and Kairi at the moment?"
Sora hung his head. "I don't know."
"Have you spoken to her much? I never seem to see you talking."
"We never do." Said Sora glumly, "She would never want to talk to me..."
"You don't know that!" Riku Said, upset to see his friend so glum. "Why don't you go see her sometime?"
"Why should she bother?" Murmured Sora. "Kairi.. she's.. so special. She's too good for me. Why would a beautiful, popular girl like Kairi ever want to hang out with me, Riku?"
"Erm... you saved her life?" Riku said as if stating the obvious.
Sora sighed. "I know, it's just.. every time I see her I turn into this shaking spaz who can't think of anything to impress her. And she never hangs around with all of us anymore. She'd never choose me.."
"You never know Sora. You two used to be inseparable. Look, if i can get her to meet you, will you agree to the date?"
"Yes!" Said Sora quickly, "Of course!" As long as I don't make a fool of myself, thought Sora to himself.
Infront of them the sun finally set and the island was blanketed in a soft violet colour. Riku stood up and brushed the sand off his trousers. Sora copied him, getting tiredly to his feet.
"We better head home." Stated Riku, walking across to his boat. Sora climbed in his and picked up the oars, sitting down in the middle.
"Ouchhhhhh!!!" He moaned.
"Whats the matter now?" Said Riku.
"Erm.. lets just say I sat down on a very painful place after Selphie was finished with it..."
Riku didn't know whether to look alarmed or amused.
