Say Hello (Sora)

Sora looked around for Chirper as he saw that Xy found her friend again and then sighed. "Ren, Kuja... Kuja hurt someone I care about."

He took a deep breath. "But you are my friend, and because of that I'll promise that I won't... I won't go looking for him to fight if he stays away from her, if he doesn't hurt her again." He looked as though the words were dragged from him with the greatest of reluctance, "He's your family, and I gotta respect that."

He looked down for a time. "As long as Kairi's safe, then I'll let him be."

"Thank you." Ren said as she looked down. "Mom is atleast making him a little calmer than before, so he's starting to be good." Xy patted Ren's face and smiled, as Ren looked at the pixie and smiled back.

"Valentine, Ryoko is even getting on him about being TO nice. She blames it on Yuffie." She let out a laugh as she settled beside a tree. "Reason why I know how to fight good. He and Ryoko are helping me and my mother in fighting." She giggled, [color]"You probably wouldn't recognize her fighting style anymore."[/color]

Sora had to chuckle softly at the idea of someone vicious enough to hurt Kairi being softened by the Yuffie he remembered.

He'd never actually met Kuja, but he knew enough from Riku's description to know that the man was one to be careful about, and if he was training Ren... then it was possible that she'd grow up to be someone to be reckoned with.

"So, you ever do anything other than learn how to fight?" He grinned wide, purposefully lightening the mood as best he could.

But he was serious. As long as Kuja didn't target Kairi again, he'd try to leave the past in the past.

"Well I snuck out, and Yuffie has no clue that I know that she knows. She's pretending to let the guilt hit me. But it's not working." Ren said with a smile. "As I said, pixies have mating seasons. And her time hit, so I took my mothers gummi ship and flew."

She smiled though as she looked at the sky that was now turning dark, except for the pixie dust flying around. "They accept my dream... both of them do...."

Sora looked at all the pixie dust in the air and had to smile. It was impossible not to smile at pixies, really.

Ren's comments about dreams, though, made him more than a little curious.

"Dream? What kind of dream do you have? Once all I ever wanted was an adventure with my two best friends. I've had adventures, but they haven't been like I imagined they would be, not yet."

Ren started to mess with her fingers as she looked around. "Well, don't hurt me... but I've always wanted to rule a world...." She looked around nervously, as she knew her father, Kuja's, dream was a little like her own.

Sora looked curiously at Ren.

"Rule a world?" After a moment he nodded. "That could actually be interesting. I've never actually had much interest in it, but I can see how it could be fun." He grinned. "King Mickey's a friend of mine and he rules Disney Castle. Kairi's father was Mayor of Destiny Islands, though we don't live there anymore."

He thought a moment. "It might be that you'll get that chance some day."

Ren smiled at Sora. "With the way he and Ryoko got me going. It'll happen, I know it. And I've already planned the planet." She smiled as she picked up a stick and raised it. "My home planet! Neverland!" She gave a giggle as the pixies cheered for her.

Sora grinned. "Well, looks like you have the allegiance of the Pixies already. Now you need to get the Indians, the merfolk, and the Lost Boys to accept your leadership and you should be set."

He thought for a moment. "Though a definitive battle against the Pirates would be nice."

He grinned. "I might even talk to King Mickey and see if there's anything else you would need to be the official Head Lost Girl of Neverland."

"REALLY!?" Ren yelled.

"She's got our vote." Ren turned to see Peter and the Lost Boys. The pirates were now gone and she wondered when they left, but shrugged it off. "We over heard. And we think she would do great." The Lost Boys cheered behind him as Peter got near her face. "But that would require for you to finally go out with me."

Ren's eyes widened as they soon turned into disgust. "I already told you no!" She shouted as she stood and faced Peter as he floated a bit.

Sora grinned. "Well, that's two down. What do you say about looking up the Indian Tribe and the Merfolk to get their votes?"

Odd as it was... He rather liked the idea of helping crown the first Head Lost Girl of Neverland.

It... it sounded like a lot of fun.

He looked at Peter with a grin. "You up for helping?"

"I'll help, but the Lost Boys and my vote depends on the date." Peter said as he smirked at Ren.

"Oh, you'll get yer date." Ren said coldly as she looked back at Peter. "But you'll have to help us." Peter shrugged, as did all the Lost Boys. "Sure we'll do it."

Ren turned away from Peter and pointed ahead of her. "Mermaids that way!"

Why did Sora have the impression that Peter was going to end up either with a dried fruit from Ren or a singularly uncomfortable experience?

He grinned and waved to all of them as he nodded to Ren. "Alright, lets go find the Merfolk!" He'd met merfolk at one point, but that was on another world entirely, where he'd actually taken on the shape of one because of Donald's magic.

This was actually looking to become a fairly exciting adventure to be on. As he walked, Chirper ducked into his pocket with a happy chirping sound. She was not going to be left out of this.

Ren grinned as they reached the end to the ocean. A mermaid was sitting on a rock and Ren smiled as she walked up to her. "Asereth?" She asked with a grin as a the mermaid looked up. "Ren!" She held her arms out as Ren ran over and let her embrace her.

After a few moments of hugging, Ren let go and smiled. "I've been thinking of becoming the Ruler of this world. Do you think that you guys wouldn't mind?" Ren asked. Aserath looked around at the group who all nodded. "I think it's a yes. Can't wait for your rule Ren." Aserath said as she gave a slight bow.

Aserath and Ren talked for a few and soon Ren said goodbye.

Sora grinned as the merfolk gave their approval to the leadership of Head Lost Girl Apparent. This was fairly easy so far.

He nodded. "Very well, lets go see if we can find the Indian tribe. They're the only ones left to ask."

Chirper peeked her head out of the top of Sora's pocket, watching around them as they started walking towards the camp of the Indian Tribe. She'd not really paid much attention to things outside the Pixie's area of Neverland before, so this was all new to her.

"Here comes the hardest part," Ren mumbled as she walked through across the beach to the forest.

When they reached the Indian Tribe, Peter talked to them in their language and then found their leader, of whom he talked to. "They ask that they are not messed with when you become ruler. If you follow that then they will vote yes." Peter translated. Ren looked at the chief and then at Peter. She nodded and smiled at the chief. Peter than translated as the chief nodded back and talked back. "He says that he will speak for his tribe and that it is perfectly fine." Ren jumped up and down at the news and laughed in excitement.

Sora was actually excited about how things were turning out.

They had the Pixies, the Merfolk, and now the Indians in agreement to support Ren's leadership of the world of Neverland. All that remained was for the Lost Boys and Peter to make their support official and they could get to the fun part of the whole adventure.

Setting up a crowning ceremony of some sort.

And then the party, but that was kinda presumed with the whole Ceremony thing.

Sora looked at Peter and grinned. "Well, looks like we're set to crown us a Head Lost Girl of Neverland."

Ren sighed as she picked up a flower. "Vote yes and I'll go out with you later." Ren said as she handed him the flower. "But I don't really want nothing flashy. Just a small ceremony. With my parents....." Ren looked at Sora and smiled. "And of course all of my friends."

Peter sighed as he quickly talked to the Lost Boys. He got the answer quickly and smiled. "You've got our vote!" The boys cheered behind him as Ren cheered. "I don't think the pirates count, so I'm the world Leader!"

Sora felt like cheering.

They'd done it! There was gonna be a leader of Neverland and he'd helped getting her into position.

He was rather nervous about the idea of being in the same place as Kuja, especially after what happened to Kairi, but for Ren, a friend of his, he'd endure an uncomfortable silence if that's what it took for Ren to be happy.

"Alright, Ren, whaddya want for your party? Let's get everything together for you!"

"Invitations... with flowers and a pixie!" She smiled as she turned to Xy. "A crown made by you guys." Ren said as she giggled.
