Oh yeah, forgot about Riku using the CoD. And that theory you have on Sora may certainly have some truth to it. But there is the thing with Kairi's lifeless body randomly ending up in Neverland, which I think backs up my theory on how I believe Beast and Jiminy ended up where they were.
I always just assumed that their situation was no different than Sora, Riku, and Kairi when Destiny Islands was swallowed by the darkness, with Jiminy ending up in Disney Castle, and Beast finding himself in Hollow Bastion (probably his desire to find Belle brought him here rather than some other random world).
~Tokyo Harbor - Seafood Restaurant~ "Yeah, I hope so too," Carter replied, really happy that he finally went on a date that didn't end in a disaster. The waiter then brought back Carter's credit card with a receipt and a pen for Carter to sign. "Enjoy the rest of your night," the waiter said as he left to take care of other orders. Putting his credit card back into his wallet, Carter signed the receipt, and added a generous tip for the waiter. "Right... so, back to da flower shop?" Carter asked Aerith as he got up from his chair. ------------------------------------------------------------- ~Crystal Order HQ: Dungeon~ Spoiler: BGM Hearing someone enter his cell, King Candy looked up, and saw Elise enter. "So... you here for a front-row seat to the show?" Candy asked as he sighed, "Sorry kid, but nothing interesting here. Just a sad old king replaced by a copy and imprisoned for who knows how long." ------------------------------------------------------------ ~Tokyo Streets~ As she was walking back to her apartment, Skye was checking something on her phone when she accidentally bumped into George. "Oh, sorry about that. Didn't see you there," Skye told George as she walked past him, Lizzie, and Ralph, noticing they seemed troubled by something. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ~Back of Vermilion City Gym~ "Ok Dad, what do you wanna talk about?" Finnick asked his father as they reached the back of the gym. Taking a deep breath, Lt. Surge got ready to talk to his son, hoping he can break the news to him that he has a twin sister while not messing up. "Now Finnick, ya know dat me and your mom divorced when you were just a baby, right?" Surge asked his son. "Yeah..." Finnick replied, wondering where this was going. "Well, I mighta left out a small detail when I told ya dat," Lt. Surge said. "What small detail?" Finnick asked. "Ummm.... well.... uhhh...." Surge mumbled as he nervously sweat, "Thing is... you've got a twin sista." Finnick was shocked upon hearing those words from his father, and giving him a confused look. "What?!" Finnick replied. "Her name's IF, has da same birthmark as you, an' she lives in Tokyo wit' your mom," Lt. Surge continued, "So, dat girl you said called askin' about the birthmark... yeah, dat was her." As Finnick was still trying to process this revelation in his head, Lt. Surge said, "I know how shockin' this is for ya, but when you told me about da phone call, I thought maybe now was da time to tell ya, especially now that you've grown up." "Why? Why didn't you tell me? And is there anyone else that knows?" Finnick asked with an agitated tone to his voice. "Your mom an' I thought it was best you an' IF didn' know about each other, an' dat you'd stay wit' me while IF stayed wit' your mom," Surge explained, "An' don' get angry at Raichu and Adé. Yeah, they knew, but they never gave you a hint 'cause I didn' let 'em. I figured it'd be best if you knew when you were older. An' today, I felt you were finally old enough to know the truth. Now I'm not sure IF knows about ya, but ya better not try goin' to Tokyo to look for her, got it?" After a minute of complete silence, Finnick asked, "Got any other secrets you wanna share with me Dad?" Surge shook his head in response, and Finnick walked away, going back inside the gym. Lt. Surge sighed, wondering if he did the right thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Shay Cormac's Origins Part 3: Flashback 10 Years Ago (April 9, 2003) / Japanese Military Base on the Outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq - Odin's Office~ As Shay, Liam, and Mario entered Odin's office, they found the general speaking on the phone with someone... "... yes, I understand. Yes sir," General Odin said as he hung up the phone, "That was the prime minister. He saw your little performance in Firdos Square, called it 'historic,' and says he'll soon announce 'Mission Accomplished.'" Smiling, Shay commented, "That's excellent news General. So I assume we'll be going back home to Japan soon?" "Not quite.." Odin replied, "While the initial mission of overthrowing Saddam Hussein's government was indeed a success, we still have more work to do in Iraq. Specifically, taking out strongholds belonging to the Crystal Order, scattered throughout the country, some very hard to locate. Saddam Hussein was merely a roadblock in our quest to fight the Crystal Order. Eradicating them from Iraq will certainly deliver a huge blow to the group. However, with our invasion of Iraq comes the increased risk of the Crystal Order easily convincing locals to join them in hopes of forcing us out. We must act fast if we are to finish the job we started. And that's where brave soldiers like yourself come in. It will take time, but I believe the payoff will be worth it. Understood?" Sighing, Shay was disappointed that it may be a while before he returns to Japan and gets a break from the fighting, but still understood why he needed to stay in Iraq, saying, "Yes sir." "Very good. Dismissed," Odin replied. Just then, Heimdall, another general in the Japanese army, and a good friend of Odin, entered the office... "Ah, Heimdall... good to see you again, old friend," Odin greeted Heimdall as the two shared a brotherly hug. "It feels good to see you as well, Odin," Heimdall replied. "Would you three excuse us?" Odin asked Shay, Liam, and Mario. "Of course sir," Shay replied as he, Liam, and Mario headed towards the exit. "So, what news do you bring from Afghanistan?" Odin asked Heimdall. "We believe we may have fully rid the country of the Crystal Order as of last week. And we were able to secure most of the S-type crystals found in the Hindu Kush mountain range," Heimdall replied as Shay and the others finally exited the office. "Who was that?" Shay asked. "General Heimdall, a true hero of the Japanese army. He saved an entire village in Afghanistan from creatures attacking it, and single-handedly held off a Crystal Order attack against a base he was in during the first month of the invasion in Afghanistan," Liam answered. "He's an embodiment of the Japanese army, representing it's-a ideals. General Heimdall is a very good man," Mario Auditore added. "I see," Shay replied as the three headed towards Mario's armored vehicle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~WWE: Smackdown Broadcast (Live from Tokyo Arena)~ Once Rey Mysterio heard Bubba Ray tag in Randy Orton, he quickly jumped towards his team's corner, and tagged in Eddie Guerrero, causing the audience to cheer loudly. "And Rey tags in Eddie Guerrero just in the nick of time!" J.R. commented as the referee was trying to hold back Orton from attacking before Eddie could step into the ring. Before stepping in, Guerrero took out a wrench hidden in his boot, and threw it to Spike Dudley, who was watching from outside the ring, supporting Bubbah's and D-Von's team. Spike caught the wrench when he noticed it, confused at what Eddie Guerrero just did. "Hang on, what jus-Oh my GOD! Eddie Guerrero just faked getting hit by that wrench without the ref noticing!" J.R. added as Eddie lied on the ring, pretending that he was hit by Spike. When the referee turned around, he noticed Eddie lying, and saw Spike with the wrench, suspecting he hit Eddie. Spike, along with Bubbah Ray and D-Von, protested, trying to convince the referee that Spike didn't do anything. But the referee didn't buy it, and told Spike to leave the arena, much to the Dudley Boyz's dismay. "And the ref kicks out Spike Dudley. Wow, he is pissed!" Michael Cole commented as Spike angrily walked away, with the audience cheering for him getting kicked out. Tilting his head to look at Spike walking away, Eddie smirked, glad that his "Lie, Cheat, and Steal," tactic has worked yet again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~Gaston's Home~ Dick Grayson laughed out loud as he watched Eddie Guerrero's antics on TV. "This is hilarious!" Dick cried to himself, "Oh man, Connor is really missing out." As soon as that happened, WWE Smackdown cut to a commercial break. Dick then got up to grab something to drink, not wanting to miss any bit of wrestling once it comes back on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spoiler ~Gaston's Home (Again)~ Feeling his cellphone vibrate, Gaston looked at who was calling, and walked to a quieter area of his home to answer it. Looking at each other, Vanitas and Trixie shrugged, wondering who it might be. After a minute or so, Gaston walked back with an angry look on his face. "Who was that?" "My parents," Gaston replied, "Looks like Darien called them. I'm grounded." "Ooh, bummer," Vanitas commented, "So... does this mean the party's over?" "Not really. My parents weren't even going to return till tomorrow. But for me, yes it is. Keep enjoying the party. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go to my room, and bang my head on the wall," Gaston replied as he stomped towards his room, angry at his neighbor, Darien, for calling his parents and telling them about the party.

I find this news truly amazing. I've always wanted to visit Cuba, but with the whole embargo thing, I didn't think I'd ever live to see the day that happens. But it looks like that's all about to change! And a bit overdue if you ask me. I really think it's time to forgive and forget, and just move on to improving relations between the two countries.
