Meanwhile, riding down the road on a motor-bike was a young teen about 14 with brown spiky hair and blue eyes. His name was Sora, and with him was a teenager of 16 with short brown hair, blue eyes, and a rat-tail, riding on a solar-surfer above him, who went by the name of Jim Hawkins. "Won't people find it ridiculous that a prince is riding through the air on a surf-board?" Sora questioned him.

"They'd find it weirder if one of his servants was riding a motor-bike," Jim scoffed in reply.

Sora rolled his eyes. He and Jim went everywhere together. Most people confused them for brothers sometimes, because of their brown hair, blue eyes, and rebellious natures. The prince's parents had sent them off to find a princess for the prince to marry (once he was old enough of course), so they could not only expand their land in a union… but also hope that if their son had a relationship, he'd mature a bit.

Jim looked around. "This land looks practically dead."

Sora looked around, seeing that the scenery was wet and muddy, the trees were dark with no leaves, and every plant was withered. "I never been to this area before…" he said.

Jim landed his solar-surfer and looked around, and Sora stopped his bike next to him. He saw an old sign covered with moss, and brushed it away. "'Welcome to the Roseland Kingdom'," he read aloud, and looked around. "So… where the heck are the roses?"

"I've heard of this place before. It was once a beautiful land, where the people were always happy, the food supply was always increasing, and the forests were full of life," Sora looked around. "I wonder what happened?"

"C'mon, lets go find this kingdom, maybe we'll find out-" Jim began, but was cut off by a growling noise. "What was that?"

Sora heard a hissing sound, and drew his key-blade, looking around. "Alright, whoever you are, show yourself!"

There was chuckling then, followed by the revving of an engine. The two boys turned around, seeing a black-and-white cat sitting in the middle of the road. The cat pointed upward, and the boys looked up…

Seeing a net fall over them! "Hey!" Jim shouted, and suddenly the net hauled them up into the air, swinging them around like a sling and then casting them into a murky pond. A blue dorsal fin then began to circle them. "SHARK!"

"In a pond?" Sora questioned, then realized he had dropped his key blade in the water. "Oh no…"

"Looking for this?" asked a voice, and they saw a large blue shark holding up the key-blade, grinning.

"Sora?" Jim gulped.

"Yeah?" Sora answered.

"I think we should get out of the pond. NOW."

"Good idea."

Frantically splashing, they climbed out of the pond. Sora summoned his key-blade out of the shark's grasp, still facing it, watching as it stepped out of the water! There was more chuckling, and a pair of invisible hands yanked their pants down! "Looks like the moon's out early!" came a disembodied voice. "Better look out for the werewolves!"

"Werewolves?" Sora and Jim questioned.

"You rang?" A voice growled, and they spun around, seeing a brown-furred werewolf behind them.

"WHOA!" They jumped back, their pants still down and making them fall over. They pulled their pants back up and quickly ran back to their vehicles, seeing a dog, a hairy caveman, and the cat looking through their baggage, taking their cash!

"Hey, put that back!" Sora snapped, running after them…

Stepping into a hole dug in the ground, with Jim close behind. "Oof!" they grunted, hitting the ground.

They heard an engine and watched a small car pull up, which their attackers piled into and rode off.

"Sora?" Jim said, bluntly.

"Yeah, Jim?" Sora answered.

"…This stays off our facebook pages."

Kairi continued her way through the woods, with Batty and Crysta at her side. "You sure you want to go through the woods?" Batty asked, nervously. "I heard there's a less dangerous route near Old Man Jenkin's farm…"

"This is the only route where no one will follow us," Kairi told him. "My step-mom might have sent a dozen guards after me by now," she gave him a curious look. "Why are you so nervous about me being out here, anyway? You both lived out here your whole lives,"

"Only in the safe parts," Crysta answered. "There's been word among the animals that a beast prowls through this forest, waiting for some fool to wander into its paws."

"Oh? And have you seen this beast?"

"Most of the animals have. It's ten feet tall with glaring eyes, sharp fangs, horns, claws, brown fur, and a fearsome roar that sends the forest into a stunned silence."

"And that it will eat anything in sight, little girls included." Batty added, and Crysta nudged him in the arm.

"Well, I'm not scared. I'm not going to let some legend keep me from seeing what's happened to my father's kingdom," Kairi said, firmly.

"Watch out!" Crysta gasped, flying in front of her.

Kairi looked, seeing that she was just two steps from walking into a pit…

…where she saw two teenage boys trying to climb out, the shortest one standing on the tallest's shoulders, grabbing onto a root which only broke in his grip, causing him to fall. "Okay… how about if I get on YOUR shoulders?" the tallest boy grunted.

"Are you alright?" Kairi asked.

The boys looked up. "Oh, thank God!" the shortest one exclaimed. "We're alright, but we could use some help. Do you see a solar-surfer up there?"

Kairi looked over, seeing one. "Yes,"

"Thank God they didn't steal it," the tallest one said. "I just got that thing upgraded…"

"Toss it down to us, could you please?" The shortest one asked.

"Sure, hang on," Kairi said, grabbing the board and carrying it over, but it slipped in her grip. "Whoa! Look out!"

*crash!*

The board landed on the two boys, but luckily hadn't broken. "Thanks…" the boys said, a bit dazed. They climbed on and hovered out of the hole.

"What on earth happened to you?"

"We were riding by and stopped to see where we were, when we were attacked," the short one said. "A bunch of weirdoes came at us and stole our money, then lead us into this trap,"

"The Thieves of the Forest," Crysta gasped.

The tall boy did a double take. "Whoa! Didn't know there were fairies in this area," he said.

"And I didn't know boys still wore their hair in pony-tails," Batty commented from behind him.

The boy covered his neck. "It's a rat-tail! See how the back of it is shaved? There's a difference!"

"Who are these thieves?" Kairi asked Crysta.

"We don't know. We just heard stories about how they raid any passerby for anything valuable," Crysta answered. "We've never seen them before, though."

"By the way, what's your name?" the shortest boy asked.

"My name is Kairi. What are your names?" she asked.

"I'm Sora, and this is Jim Hawkins,"

"Thanks for helping us out, but now we have to get going," Jim said, getting on his solar-surfer. "Do you need a lift?"

"Which way are you going?" Kairi asked.

"This way," Sora answered, pointing north.

Kairi pointed south. "I'm going this way. It was nice meeting you two,"

"You sure you don't want us to give you a lift? Those thieves might still be around…"

"It's alright, I'll be fine. Thank you, though." She continued on.

"Why didn't you take the offer?" Batty whispered.

"My father taught me to never accept rides from strangers,"

Sora and Jim continued their way, though Sora took a glance back, right as Kairi did, and they smiled at each other, then continued on their way.
