[At first, everything is dark. There's nothing but black and empty space...yet, somehow, this isn't scary at all. Maybe because there's something nearby - something warm and inviting. Safe.

A bright light in the distance.

But maybe not so far away after all. Soon there's solid ground. It's a circular platform that looks like stained glass, but doesn't feel fragile. It's brightly colored, and covered in pictures...pictures that must come from somewhere.

Maybe they mean something to the child on the other side of the platform. The boy is walking around, looking a little confused...and with good reason. He had just been here a few hours ago, hadn't he? The person he had been talking to before was sleeping. So why was he back here? Was this a dream?

That's when he turns around, finally noticing that he's not alone. In a confused, but friendly tone, he asks-]

How'd you get here?

[Oh no. He hears those footsteps. How is she headed right for him already?

Operation BE AS QUIET AND STILL AS POSSIBLE is a go.]

Now where did he go? [She calls out a bit too loudly, intentionally trying to provoke him to giggle and give away his spot. Now that she's definitely close, she just needs to zero in on him...]

I can't see him!

[Nuh-uh! Tidus tries that on him all the time, and it never-

...okay, it worked once.

Or maybe more then once. A lot more then once.

But no way! Not this time!

He tries his best to ignore her and stay still...but he does shuffle a little bit while trying to suppress a laugh, just barely loud enough to be audible.]

[Perfect. Ami smirks proudly to herself: She did it! And she heads straight for Sora again.]

Found you now!

Aw!

[Can you hear that disappointment? There's a lot of it. But he knows when he's lost. Sora stands up, though he isn't all that happy about it.]

How'd you find me so fast?

I have special ways. [Which she purposely made sound very mysterious.]

Besides, you made it too easy. You laughed.
