I hope Nomura answers this question in KH3...

Did Sora's dinner get cold? Did he ever come on down?

Spoiler: WARNING: Graphical content with excessive gore

I want to know more about the dinner Sora was going to have before the darkness damnation. What were they going to have? Was Sora's father home to dinner? We didn't hear him, after all. Perhaps he works a late shift, or overtime. Or perhaps he didn't speak because he and his mother were actually conspiring to murder their son (in order to collect on the health insurance money), mother attempting to lure him down where they would ambush him with the false promise of dinner. They were most likely conspiring with Riku (whom wanted Sora out of the way so he could pursue Kairi) to ambush Sora, knock him out cold, stuff him into a large sack, tie a large stone to the sack, and then toss the sack into the ocean. Then Riku would happily be accepted as the son they've always wanted, as they blissfully watch Sora drown, him opening his eyes just long enough to recognize and gaze upon his murderers before succumbing to the lack of oxygen. Unfortunately, Kairi walked in on the incident, having been awakened by the sound of Sora's startled scream from inside the house. Predictably flying into a fit of utter hysterics, Riku helplessly watched as Kairi attacked Sora's parents, brutally bashing his father's head against the dock until it split open into chunks of flesh and tissue, then biting down on his mother's throat, Riku screaming in horror as he watched Kairi then jerk her head aside, tearing out a large slab of the woman's flesh, blood splashing on Riku's face. . Kairi then lept into the water to, as she exclaimed, "join Sora" and never emerged. Donald and Goofy visited the next morning searching for the boy that holds "the key". Desperate to get his mind off of last night's unspeakable events, and admittedly curious as to where joining up with a duck and a dog would take him, Riku grabbed Kairi's car keys and proclaimed himself to be the boy they were searching for, thus began their grand journey across the world in search for the King.
Thus how KH1 truly began. And that, my friends, is likely how Sora's dinner really went.

 

Sora was going to be greeted with a filet mignon. A delicacy very hard to acquire, especially on an island. But his mother knew he'd love it. It was his birthday, and it was the best gift she could fathom for her only child. He had been so caught up in his playtime at the island that she knew he'd be hungry and devour every bite like he had to hunt and cook it himself in the cold wild after not eating for days.

Sora knew it was his birthday, don't let him fool you. It was his friends who didn't remember. Sora knew if he drove hard enough, collected enough supplies for their trip that his friends would just have to remember. He worked tireless to the point he was lucid dreaming and suffering from temporary narcolepsy. Yet, his friends did not remember.

That night the storm hit, he couldn't let all of his hard work go to waste. He had to save his hard work. If it was lost, he'd never accomplish his goal.

Being too weary, he could not save his friends even with his powerful god weapon.

This is why Sora had to travel the universe and fight ravenous monsters. He still needs the happy birthday his friends never gave him.

EDIT: HIJACKED. DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU POSTED A STORY.

 

I was going with Riku gradually becoming an increasingly psychotic, bloodthirsty murderer throughout his travels with Donald and Goofy, who slowly begin to suspect that not only did this boy possibly lie to them about being the key bearer, but is not of sound mind. Their suspicions are confirmed when Riku snaps and kills Jasmine, Donald and Goofy unable to tell Aladdin the truth, instead informing him that Jafar took her to Maleficient. However, with one of the Princesses of Heart dead, the keyhole cannot be complete, thus Maleficient's plans are ruined, thus Riku is declared a hero throughout the worlds, Donald and Goofy having to awkwardly cover up the truth as to how exactly he indirectly saved them.
But your theory really is better.

 

You're welcome, all of KHV.

jesus christ what happened to this thread

 

Welp... I read the first line of his post, thinking the rest was dribble... so I decided to hijack it with a story about Sora showing signs of low self-esteem, a need to gain the respect of his peers, and possible stockholm syndrome... Then I realized I added a fic onto a fic post and decided I needed to brag.

Sum it up okay?

 

Now how about Ansem. His rivalry with Organization 13 was actually a business rivalry ("Kingdom Hearts" is actually a food dish of which is considered a prized delicacy, its ingredients being so rare that they can only be found in the most lethal regions of the universe), with their corporate business surpassing his more humble, 'mom and pop' type cooking. He was indeed planning to use Sora as a means of ridding himself of the organization, spreading rumors that they were after the heart of all worlds, 'wished to become whole' and other religious nonsense, thus damaging his rivals' reputation. Namine was one of many mere pawns to his scheme to be the top bakery business in the universe, planning to kill her once she fulfilled her purpose as by that point she would likely know too much, and even if she didn't find out the truth, he was always fascinated by the concept of using human flesh and blood as cake icing and decoration. However, due to a technical problem with Namine's work, Donald and Goofy unexpectedly wake up before Sora, long enough to spend some time with Namine while awaiting the awakening of their friend. Donald overhears Ansem ranting to himself later on, learning of "Diz's" truly grim intentions, only to be caught and pursued as he frantically tries to find and warn Goofy and Namine. He is attacked and wounded by Ansem, but manages to escape and locate his friends. While Namine tends to Donald's injuries, Goofy stands his ground, bravely defending the two as Ansem barges into the room, his rage having overtaken him. Donald and Namine can only helplessly watch as Goofy battles Ansem, bashing his skull with his shield. Ansem eventually succumbs to his head injuries and collapses to the floor, spouting expletives with his last breath. Sora soon awakens, as Donald, Goofy and Namine join up with him, Namine finding herself going along with their quest though the three have a difficult time coping with the events and explaining to Sora what happened.
Yes, I'm bored.

 

But what about Kairi? Her adoptive parent on the Destiny Islands was the mayor, right? What if the Mayor had just been grooming her all these years to take over the vast empire of islands that's probably about the size of Hawaii?

I was going to add a story but then I realized I suck at writing on the fly so someone take this and run with it.

 

Riku, wanting to get some 'alone time' with his long lost lover Sora, struck a bargain with Xemnas so Kairi, Donald, Goofy and Mickey can be sent back to the islands while Riku and Sora finished the fight alone. In return for Xemnas giving Riku some time to send their friends away and thus get the oppurtunity to finally lose his virginity to Sora after all these years of waiting (and getting to make love "in the darkness" no less), Riku had to steal Goofy's sea salt ice cream and give it to Xemnas. Unaware of the true thief's identity, Donald was naturally blamed, much to his annoyance. Nonetheless, he's indeed sorry about the ice cream.

 

I would, but I have nothing to add. It was probably because of all that lady like nonsense that she ran away to the island constantly to play in the sand, get dirty with boys, and run away. It's also because she was so focused on this that SHE FORGOT SORA'S BIRTHDAY

 

we still dont know what his mum looks like though

 

pizza .

 

She looks like Denise Milani.

 

And all this time, Pluto was working behind the scenes on his own plan to monopolize the dog food market. You see, he's the true mastermind behind everything. He manipulated Xehanort to seek out Kingdom Hearts in order to gain access to X-Blade and thus destroy all of his competitors. Things didn't go as planned, though, because Xehanort later came up with his own plan to recreate the Keyblade War, something which would be very bad for the dog food industry. Thus, Pluto made his way to Disney Castle via Dark Corridors to get King Mickey to stop Xehanort. Now, Pluto waits at Disney Castle for Kingdom Hearts III when his plan will finally come to fruition.

 

Roxas is actually a demon who planned to posses Sora's body and make him do unspeakable things until Ansem saved Sora. Hayner, Pence and Ollete were Roxas' servants from hell. Why is the prologue in KH2 one of the most boring things in the entire world? Because Roxas' diabolical meta plan was to bore the player so they wouldn't bother moving forward, thus Ansem would be unable to save Sora from being possessed by Roxas.
Seifer is Satan.
