Author's Notes: I don't know what it is with these prompts. They're rather easy for me to think up a plot for, as opposed to some other communties I've had to quit because I didn't know what to write. This idea is another one I've had for a while. Didn't turn out exactly how I'd planned (if I gen-ify another one of these 15-pairings, i'm going to kill myself), but these things never do. ;D
"It's my lucky charm, be sure to being it back to me!"
Her eyes are focused and narrow as she makes him promise, foot tapping quietly as to show that she's not at all happy about the situation she's been placed in. She doesn't want to be left behind; only damsels in distress' do that, and after years of hanging out with these boys, she sure isn't one of those. She'd much rather pick up one of the weapons Sora's carrying - a keyblade he calls it - and fight away these heartless things too. But he tells her to stay - to be safe - and stick to her post here in the warm, friendly streets of Traverse Town.
She sighs. Well...alright.
But before she leaves she has a gift for him; she hands him her charm; the one of thalassa shells and string that she'd made before they'd planned on sailing out to new worlds; and tells him that as soon as he finds Riku, he has to come back. He has to. Because best friends are together for always.
He agrees. He'll bring it back to her, along with the silver haired friend he's sworn to save from the darkness.
And so he sets off on his mission, in which failure is not an option, and the star-shaped smile-y face transforms into a platinum silver keyblade that he always keeps close to his heart.

"Sora! Riku!"
Sora jumps in the water, arms splashing and hair dripping wet as he watches her wave from the not-so-distant shore. He's changed so much; his hair is lighter (just a little bit, though enough to notice the difference), his body is taller, and his eyes have a maturity that he hadn't had before he left to find his other best friend; but he's still so happy and so hopeful that she's sure its him the moment their eyes meet.
He runs to her; eyes gleaming and smiling ear to ear, ready to tackle her in a hug so fierce it probably knock her over - until he himself is pushed down by his other, more animal-inclined companions. He's just as happy to see them too; they'd been at his side for as long as he cared to think, and friendships like that are never broken. So they smile and cuddle and giggle at their short reunion, lost in the moment until-
"awww~"
Riku.
Silver hair and green-blue irises stare their way, eyes soft with a new found friendship and compassion that only a hero could provide. He found him; his other best friend, and learned from and helped him in the process. He brought him back to her, the one person who never gave up on either of them, and who he swore he would find at any cost. He brought him home.
So he reaches into his pocket, smile as bright as ever and reaches for the promise - the shell - he swore to bring back to her.
And even though so much as changed; they've been to hell and back, fought countless enemies, and discovered new parts of themselves; nothings really that different.
"W-w-we're back."
She shakes her head, smiling and extending a waiting hand.
"You're home."
And you didn't forget.
