"From the King!"
Sora reached out, grabbing the bottle from Kairi. Turning the bottle upside down, he grabbed the letter.
"What's it say?" Riku asked, wondering how his good friend, King Mickey was doing. The three had been home for about three months and they hadn't seen or heard from any of their friends in the other worlds.
Sora grinned, "King Mickey is inviting everyone to a ball, to celebrate Xemnas' defeat."
"Everyone?" Kairi looked at Sora, "yeah, it says he's sent invitations to all the worlds."
"So people like Jack Skeleton and Simba could show up? How strange will that be?" Kairi laughed. Everyone had since learned about Sora's travels and knew about all the different people he had met.
Riku grinned, "Think Sandy Claws will come?" he joked.
Sora shook his head, "no, I doubt Santa will come, and I don't think Jack will either. They're too busy with Halloween and Christmas preparations."
"And Simba would be too busy taking care of his people." Kairi pointed out, "So he won't be there. Plus, he has that baby to take care of."
"Donald and Goofy will be there for sure, and so will everyone from Radiant Gardens." Sora beamed. “I can’t wait to see Squall and the others!”
The brown haired teen was practically shaking with excitement. Riku smiled fondly at the younger teen, shaking his head.
Sora was so adorable.
“Hey, I know!” Kairi exclaimed, “We should take Selphie and the others. They’d enjoy seeing King Mickey’s castle…”
---
“Pretty!” Selphie eyes went wide, as their airship approached a large floating castle. “That’s the king’s castle?”
Sora nodded, “yep!” Sora said, happy that they were still able to travel between worlds. King Mickey had given Sora and his friends their very own airship.
“Looky, look!” Sora shouted, “There’s Cloud, Aerith and Tifa!” The three were in the garden, walking toward the castle doors.
“Oh! And isn’t that… oh, my, it’s Ariel, and King Eric!” Sora said, with wide eyes. It felt so strange to see the mermaid with legs, “eik!” Sora exclaimed, “Ariel’s fat!”
The airship got closer to the castle, starting to dock.
“Haha,” Kairi laughed, Selphie joined in. “She’s not fat, she’s pregnant.”
Wakka, Tidus and Riku grinned, looking at Sora as he grinned sheepishly.
“Oh,” Sora mumbled.
Getting out of the airship, Sora waved enthusiastically to Chip and Dale.
“What are those?” Selphie looked at the creatures with wide eyes.
“We’re Chip and Dale at your service!” Chip yelled, jumping on Selphie’s shoulder. Selphie’s eyes went wider.
Riku laughed, “They’re chipmunks.” he whispered to Selphie.

“Welcome!” King Mickey shouted across the ballroom. He smiled, waving at everyone as they poured into room.
“Good to see you, Jack,” Mickey said, waving to pirate Jack, who was dressed in his best… well, his clothes were clean…ish.
Jack stumbled across the room, already drinking. Elizabeth and Will Turner walked in after the man, shaking their heads.
Mickey jumped down from the table he’d been standing on so he could see everyone; he ran across the room, jumping into Riku’s arms as the teen walked into the room.
Riku grinned, “Mickey!” he swung the king around. “How have you been?”
Sitting the king down, Riku bent down so he was more on Mickey’s level.
“Great!” Mickey said, “ohh, there’s my Minnie!” Mickey waved to everyone, then ran off after his wife.
Wakka laughed, “he’s fond of you, ya?”
Riku nodded, “yeah, we traveled together a lot.” Riku said. ‘When I was Ansem…’
Sora smiled, grabbing Riku’s hand, “Riku, let’s boogie!” Sora dragged the long haired teen onto the dance floor.
Tidus laughed at the bright blush that overcame Riku’s cheeks. “Cute, ne?” he said to Selphie and Kairi.
Wakka overheard, “yeah.” Wakka smirked, grabbing Tidus’ hand in the same fashion Sora had grabbed Riku’s. “Let’s boogie.”
Tidus flushed, letting himself be dragged to the dance floor.
Selphie and Kairi pouted. They’d totally been ignored. Kairi gave a shrug, “who needs them? Selphie will you dance with me?” Kairi turned to look at Selphie, giving her a shy smile.
Selphie nodded, “sure.”

Aerith walked across the dance floor, her shoes making echoing clicking sounds. She walked up to Tifa, tapping her on the shoulder.
“Tifa,” she took the girl’s hand, “let’s dance; I need to talk to you.”
Curious, the dark haired girl nodded, going to dance with Aerith. “What’s up?” Tifa asked.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen that look in Cloud’s eyes,” Aerith murmured. “Remember when we were kids and lived close to Cloud and Yuffie?”
Tifa nodded, “yeah, then our world was destroyed and we all fled to other worlds.”
“Well, do you remember how much in love Cloud was with Vincent?” Aerith whispered, careful so nobody overheard her.
Tifa nodded, a sad look on her face. Vincent hadn’t made it. The girls had witnessed as he died in Cloud’s arms… oh-so many years ago.
Vincent had been sick; nobody knew with what.
“Well, that look Cloud had with Vincent… I saw it again…” Aerith smiled, a tear in her eye. “He was looking at Squall, when I saw that look flash across his eyes.”
Tifa put a hand to her mouth, “you think Cloud’s finally moving on?”
Aerith nodded, “yeah… but they’re both so…” Aerith sighed, “They’re not good at these things.”
“I know.” Tifa rolled her eyes. “Should we get help in getting them together?”
“Yeah.”

Selphie’s eyes were wide as she looked at Squall. The ninja blinked, a blinding memory hitting her hard.
SeeD… Squall, Zell… Quistis… Gaia being destroyed… Selphie slumped against the wall she was leaning against.
She remembered now. She’d went to school with Squall and some others when their world was destroyed. The next thing she knew, she was on Destiny Island.
She’d been adopted… then she just forgot. Sora and others never really talked about her unusual appearance on their island. After all, she wasn’t the only one to show up out of the blue. Kairi had, and so had Wakka and Tidus.
Squall glanced over at Selphie and a look of shock passed over his otherwise stoic expression.
Selphie pulled away from Kairi, not giving an explanation as she walked over to Squall.
“Squall?” she questioned.
“Selphie?” Squall answered back.
Selphie smiled, shocking Squall with a hug.
Squall grunted, pulling away from the yellow clad girl, “you were always the hugging type.” he muttered.
“Yay, you remember me! What of the others?” Selphie asked.
Squall shook his head, “sorry, Selph.”
“Just us?” Selphie murmured, sadly.
Squall nodded. “Yeah.”
