thano Also, it's a bit roughly written in my opinion, so I may be editing it little by little. Constructive critiscism is welcome.

As usual, Sora, Riku and Kairi lounged around their favorite paupu tree, as the washed gently lapped the shore below.

It was a quiet evening in the Destiny Islands, the kind that usually led to naps that led to waking up freezing in the middle of the night. Riku broke the silence with a question.

"Ever wonder what that pom pom looking thing on a moogle's head feels like?"

Kairi gave Riku an odd glance. "That's an unusual thing to ask..."

Riku looked away, and nervously scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah.. well.."

"Hey, I remember a moogle in traverse town that was always complaining about people touching his pom pom." spoke Sora, who was busy scribbling in the sand with a twig. "I can't remember who it was though."

Riku laughed. "I'll bet you couldn't touch that moogle's pom pom."

"Can too! Just wait and see." Naturally, Sora had no second thoughts when it came to competiting with Riku.

So off blasted Sora in his behemoth gummi ship, which had been 'inconspicously' hidden under a light dusting of sand right near the dock. Soon Sora arrived in the brightly colored First District of Traverse Town. It had been a while since he'd visited. The restoration of Radiant Garden lessened its importance. But that moogle was still there, pacing aimlessly around a streetlight. Immeadiately, Sora got to work.

"Can I touch your pom pom?" asked Sora, leaning crookedly towards the moogle and smiling.

"No way, kupo! You some kind of pervert?" the Moogle yelled

Sora was stunned. "So what, you're saying your pom pom has some kind of... sexual function?"

"THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

The moogle, flustered, and glowing about as red as the color of its nose and pom pom, flew off into the Traverse Town darkness. Sora, however, knew he had a mission. He would take it upon himself to discover what was up with that ball of fur! The plan for doing so was rather simple.

Physics would be disregarded in his plan, but Sora figured that the size of his shoes already triggered a psuedo-"suspension of disbelief" and everything would be peachy.

Sora's plan was as follows:

1. Push crates up against synthesis shop
2. Use fancy high jump to jump from crates to shop roof.
3. High Jump again.
4. Defy gravity and use the Super Glide technique to fly towards where the moogle usually strolled
5. Touch pom pom
6. ???
7. Profit

It was a plan even Riku would approve of.

But just as Sora was preparing to execute his illogical scheme, something hit him in the back of his head. He turned around to find hundreds of moogles, armed with slingshots and kupo nuts, staring him down. Their usually white faces were colored with war paint, and at the front of the pack fluttered the moogle Sora was about to unleash his plan on.

Sensing the impending danger, Sora grineed half-heartedly and spoke "Uh... Hi? Nice day?" That did nothing to improve his situation.

A cry was heard from the moogle army. "GET THE FREAK WITH THE SHOES, KUPO! NONE SHALL TOUCH THE POM POM!" Kupo Nuts began to fly, aimed with precision accuracy

And so, the famed "Battle of the Riverboat" proved once and for all that the sanctity of the pom pom shall never be violated. As for Sora, when all was said and done, he lie dazed on the ground, wondering how he was going to explain everything to Riku and Kairi.
