As it turned out, there was someone else approaching...Sora had arrived on the Satellite as well, only about half an hour before Riku himself. Needless to say, he had been more than a little confused when the Door to Light had taken him not back to Destiny Islands, but a few inches shy of falling into an indoor swimming pool. In fact, this whole area looked futuristic...and Sora got the sense of being in artificial gravity, like on the gummi ship.

Not seeing Riku anywhere nearby, he immediately went exploring. Had his friend gotten home somehow while he had gotten stuck here? It didn't really make any sense. Sora hoped that perhaps Riku was nearby...

As it turned out, he did not have to look long. Heading up a level took him to a place that appeared to be a huge cafeteria and kitchen. Just as he entered the place, he saw a familiar friend. And he was with...a bright pink pony? Was she native to this world?

Sora's face broke into a wide grin. "Riku!"
