21st Dawn

[Cambot has been searching around the SOL over the last day and a half for Riku, broadcasting on and off, possibly unintentionally. It seems lonely, not too uncommonly videoing the floor. Slowly it wanders into the cafeteria deck idly. It's late evening, and fairly dark. Cambot starts to turn when there's a little "pop" from inside the fridge. The bot enters, a little curious, until the door flies open, leaving light and cold to tumble out... Along with something else.]

[The short-haired figure groans and sits up, half-covered in what looks like someone's leftover Chinese food. Riku looks around, trying to figure out where he was.] Cambot? [Abruptly he checked his clothing, pulling the shoulder of his vest to get a look at the cloth on the back.] So it wasn't a dream... [And then he notes the food all over him and looks back over his shoulder. He reappeared in a familiar area.]

Again? ...Are you kidding me?!

[Cambot bounces up and down in joy!]

{Even Riku's Cambot seems surprised by this one. Riku just stares. It's a train wreck.] No, nevermind, I think I am dreaming.

You're not dreaming, silly!

You'd probably still be in the FRIDGE if you were dreaming!

Hey, who's got the - oh, here you go! [Another Pinkie arrives from a different part of the kitchen with Riku's Welcome Back cupcake, which gets quickly passed up to him from the back of the crowd.] Welcome back, Riku!

[Train wreck and ten car pile-up. On a boat. He takes the cupcake, stares at t a moment, then stares right back.] Okay, Pinkie? [He looks around.] ...Pinkies? Why are there so many of you? [Beekuz whut.]

We all got superpowers! [Every Pinkie says at once. One near the back starts bouncing up and down and continues.] Everyone can do different things, like Sora can fly and Minako can glow and I can do this!

[There's a small pop, and suddenly there are two bouncing Pies.] Isn't it great?

[Riku narrows his eyes in a distinctive "not sure if want" expression before a look of realization comes over him. Riku holds out his hand. Nothing happens, but this doesn't bother him. He holds it out a little further, and Way to the Dawn appears. And he suddenly looked very peaceful.] Right. "It popped into my hand when I needed it most."
