Story
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 Riku, claiming that if two people share one, their destinies become intertwined, and teases Sora about trying it out.

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.

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.
