It's fun exploring new worlds!

[runbysmiles]

Who: Sora and all of Vatheon!
Where: Wherever you want~ Sora's probably managed to find the place.
Style: I'll match
Status: OPEN
Summary: It's a new worlds, and there's no way Sora's not going to go exploring!



Sora was wondering around Vatheon with seemingly nothing better to do. He'd been reunited with a good portion of his friends from home, and he was for the most part feeling pretty good about things. It sucked a bit that they'd probably never make it back home, but at least they were here together.

Now with nothing but free time on his hands he was wondering around Vatheon exploring the place for all it was worth! If he was going to be stuck here for awhile he might as well know where everything was, and meet some new people besides!

Kairi hadn't seen too much of this place as of yet. And since she'd realized Sora was back, she'd been spending lots of time at home with the boys (and the dogs), and then there'd been the planning of Riku's get together to do. So, after the party, she finally had the time to venture out after Sora, to try and finally share in one of his adventures.

That hair and that outfit weren't hard to spot at all. So once she did, she was running forward with a warm grin upon her face.

"Hey! Wait up!" She called. Someone didn't look like they were a lazy bum anymore.

Sora paused and turned back to look at Kairi. He couldn't keep the grin off his face as he paused waiting for her to catch up.

"Come on, Kairi!" He laughed a bit teasing her just a little. "Don't be a slow poke!"

He grinned to show he really didn't mean it. If he had to he'd wait for years for Kairi--Riku too.

[ex_heartening282]

"I just might surprise you!" She called to him, grinning back.

After all, she'd had to have something to do during that year he and Riku'd been away. And getting into better shape had been a great way to keep herself busy. So she increased her speed, and soon caught up with him enough to reach out and tickle his side a little, all in good fun.

"Looking to take the tour?"

It was good to be together with her boys again. Though they were stuck here, that fact cheered her considerably. She wasn't so worried anymore, aside from a daughter's worry for her parents. Wakka and Tidus could handle Selphie's antics, no problem.

[runbysmiles]

"Mm, something like that." He shrugged a bit. This place might not have been Destiny Islands, the water definitely shouldn't be on the outside and surrounding them if it was, but it really wasn't too bad.

As long as he had Kairi and Riku here it was practically like home! Even better there were others he could meet here too.

Besides Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie were fine without them.

[ex_heartening282]

No, it shouldn't have been. But Kairi was just glad to be in the same place as both of her boys at once for a change. Just like Sora, that was the most important thing to her. The rest was almost trivial in comparison.

Almost. She still missed her parents. But she knew she'd see them again.

"Mind if I come with?"

The grin she shot him was teasing. She already knew the answer to that.

There was just no way she could resist asking.

[runbysmiles]

"Nope!" Sora grinned and gestured for Kairi to follow him. "You can show me aound, right Kairi?"

Sora couldn't help but keep the grin on his face. It would have taken quite a bit to wipe it off while he was here with Kairi, and Riku wasn't too far off.

[ex_heartening282]

"I sure can." She smiled back, keeping pace with him now that she'd caught up to him.

That was a good thing. His smile, like Riku's, was a sight of which she'd never become tired of seeing. This place might not be home, but at least her most important people, aside from her parents were with her. It made everything okay.

"There's a few districts here. Kind of like that one world you told me about. Traverse Town, I think it was. The Lower and Middle ones are those people seem to live in. I'll take you there. But have you seen the rest of the plaza and the park yet, first?"

At the end of this trip would be a special treat: the island, on the surface. It wasn't home, but it satisfied enough of her homesickness that she was okay here. And Sora would probably love it.

"No not yet!" Sora's grin widened if that was all possible. He looked over at Kairi still beaming. Being able to spend time with her like this again was all he'd wanted since he had to leave Kairi behind after closing the door. Of course he'd wanted to spend time with Riku too, but having moments like these were something Sora had always treasured.

At least he knew Riku was safe, and knowing that the option to hang out with Riku at any time was right at his finger tips made all the difference. Really they were both his treasured people, outside of his parents of course.

"We can go if you want?"

[ex_heartening282]

Was it possible? Kairi was thinking he was setting himself a new record for how wide his grin had become. It was a contagious sort of smile that had her beaming back at him. Through darkness, loss, separation and losing her memories of him only to regain them and be separated again--this was what she'd missed the most. To be able to see that sunny smile and explore somewhere with him.

This was what the three of them had always wanted, since they'd first talked about dreams of sailing off into the distant seas of their own world. here they were, together on an adventure in a whole other world. She, Sora and Riku, as they'd always been meant to be. The realization had already hit her, but it made her smile even more brightly now.

"Sure, why not? I'll give you the whole tour, and then we can find somewhere to eat."

Good thing everything was free here, right? She impulsively reached for his hand, and started forward, toward the park. Not to rush this, but to get it started. She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

[runbysmiles]

"Food sounds like a great idea!" Not that Sora was extremely hungry at the moment, but he wouldn't turn down trying something new. He flushed a little as he took Kairi's hand and walked with her side by side.

He felt a little guilty not having Riku with them, but he was probably busy doing something, somewhere. Either way Sora was sure Riku was okay and that was the most he could ask for.
