==Synopsis==
<!--[[Image:KH M1 P5|thumb|right|150px|Overwrought, symbolic story at the beginning of a Square Enix story? Who'd have seen that coming?]]-->
As a meteor shower falls on a [[Destiny Islands|quiet island]], a voice recites the [[Keyblade War|legend of the light]], and a young boy finds a strange girl washed up on the shore.


==Story==
Suddenly, that boy, Sora, is woken from his dream when the girl, Kairi, shouts at the "lazy bum" to wake up and help with the raft. Another boy, Riku, walks up and scolds them for "always goofing around", insinuating that the two were off scarfing the romantic [[Paopu fruit]]. Sora temporarily bristles, but soon calms down and asks the others if the raft will really take them to another [[world]]. Riku reassures him that what will happen will happen, and thanks Kairi's appearance on the island for the idea to go exploring. In return, Kairi shows the boys the [[Thalassa Shell]] lucky charm she is working on, and explains how it is used to pray for safe voyages, but Sora charges into surf with his pennant and guarantees the others that they will see the world.
During a meteor shower, an unknown voice tells a fairy tale about the light. A young [[Kairi]] washes up on a beach, where she is found by a young [[Sora]].


Sora wakes up from a dream, and is startled by Kairi standing behind him. They check the raft they are making, but get scolded by [[Riku]] for always slacking off. They discuss the possibility of sailing to another world, and finding out where Kairi came from. Kairi shows off the good-luck charm she made. As they make their way back home, Riku tosses a [[paopu fruit]] to Sora, claiming that if two people share one, their destinies become intertwined, and teases Sora about trying it out.
As the kids leave the area, Riku tosses Sora a Paopu fruit, and asks if he will share the fruit before their departure, which would intertwine the fates of the two who share it. Sora completely misinterprets this as a romantic advance, and gets flustered and angry at Riku for the rest of the night.


At [[Disney Castle]], a panicked [[Donald]] wakes [[Goofy]] about a problem with [[the King]], but [[Minnie]] and [[Daisy]] hear him shouting. In the castle, Donald explains the King is gone and had left a letter. In the letter, he explains he had to leave because the worlds are in danger, and tasks Donald and Goofy with finding the "key". To do so, he sends the two to [[Traverse Town]], to find a man named [[Leon]].
At Disney Castle, something very bad has happened. The court magician, Donald Duck, frantically rushes to the [[Disney Castle#Courtyard|Courtyard]], where he finds the royal knight, [[Goofy]], asleep at his post. So, obviously, he casts [[Fire]] on Goofy to wake him up. He warns Goofy that they can tell no one — just as [[Daisy]] and [[Minnie Mouse|Minnie]] walk up behind him. They take him to the [[Disney Castle#Library|Library]], where he reveals that the King has left after leaving a letter, that he is going to check on why stars have been disappearing.


Meanwhile, Sora is in his room, embarrassed about the idea of sharing a paopu fruit, Kairi is finishing her good-luck charm, and Riku is staring at the island with a weird look in his eyes, stating the door is opening.
As they continue to read the letter, the children on Destiny Islands are in their rooms. Sora is lying on his bed, still frustrated over the Paopu fruit Riku had given him, Kairi is finishing the Thalassa charm, and Riku is watching the the playground island, where "the door is opening."
