Calling

"Calling" is the first episode of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix.
== Synopsis ==
During a meteor shower at night over Destiny Islands, a voice recites the legend of light, detailing the world's collapse into darkness and its reconstruction into smaller worlds by the hearts of children. The next day, a young boy finds a young girl washed up on the shore. Years later, the young boy, Sora, is awakened from his dream by Kairi, the young girl, who calls him a lazy bum for sleeping on the shore. He questions his dream but follows Kairi to see their completed raft. Another boy, Riku, accuses them of always goofing off, insinuating that the two were sharing a paopu fruit. Sora immediately tenses, but Riku remarks that he was only kidding. 
On the raft, Sora asks Riku and Kairi if they'll really find other worlds on their voyage. Riku assures Sora that they'll know when they get there and thanks Kairi's appearance on the island to their discovery of the existence of other worlds. Kairi interrupts by showing the boys a Thalassa shell lucky charm, fabled to give sailors a safe voyage. Sora marches into the water, raising a flag, promising that there's nothing to worry about and guaranteeing that they'll see the world. As they leave the area, Riku throws Sora a paopu fruit and tells him if two people share it, their destinies become intertwined and asks him if he shouldn't be trying it before they leave. Sora is unable to comprehend and Riku slyly suggests that may he should try it. Kairi interrupts and demands that they head out and Riku walks away, leaving Sora flustered. A voice says that there's so much to do in a little time and that the door is shut before reassuring to take it easy and unafraid.
At Disney Castle, Court Wizard Donald Duck rushes to the Courtyard where Captain of the Royal Knights Goofy is asleep at his post. Donald zaps Goofy with a fire spell, inadvertently drawing the attention of Lady Daisy Duck and Queen Minnie Mouse. At the Library, Donald informs them that the King has disappeared and hands Minnie a letter, explaining that he's left to investigate why stars are blinking out. The letter also instructs Donald and Goofy to find Leon at Traverse Town, where he will guide them to someone who wields a key to their survival. 
On Destiny Islands, Sora dismisses the paopu fruit as a fairy tale and throws it across his room before going to bed. Kairi finishes weaving her Thalassa charm and Riku, standing on his balcony, realizes that the door has opened.
