Yunie: Hello everyone, and thank you for treading onto my Kingdom Hearts Fanfiction! You may remember that I tried previously to write a story about my own Kingdom Hearts character–although, considering the amount of reviews I got on the story (one for three chapters!) I decided it would be a lot more efficient to write about characters that you all know and love! So here it goes, another attempt at a Kingdom Hearts fanfiction, brought to you by yours truly! I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for reading!

Chapter One: Awakening
Where... is this place?
Roxas opened his eyes. Or at least, he thought he'd opened his eyes. Everything was dark. There was nothing around, no sounds save his own shallow breath. It felt as if space and time were nothing, as if he was floating in infinite nothing. As his eyes searched for any image, the fog that had clouded his mind started to fade.
What happened...? Why am I...?
His mind's eye played through everything it could remember: his playful summer with Hayner, Pence, and Olette; the strange happenings in Twilight Town, the thefts and the strange beings behind them; the recurring dreams of the boy with the spiky hair and his friends; the girl clad in white, who told him he shouldn't exist...
That's right! Namine... And...
A sudden light pierced through the infinite darkness, shocking Roxas from out of his trance.
"Sora...?"
Roxas blinked at the light, confused at the sound of his own voice. Why was that name the first out of his mouth? Then, it struck him. If he was here... where was Sora?
A soft female laugh echoed in the vast darkness, and a vague figure appeared, silhouetted against the gentle light. Roxas squinted his eyes to see, but the contrast was too great, and his eyes were not yet used to focusing.
"No, silly," the voice spoke kindly, without moving toward or away from Roxas. "I'm not Sora."
Roxas strained to focus on the figure, but it was getting progressively difficult to do so. He wanted to speak, to question her; however, with each passing second he lost the energy to do so. As the figure slowly approached him, Roxas's vision slowly faded to black...

The sun was shining brightly yet again on the gardens at Disney Castle. Another peaceful day, it seemed. The worlds were in order, and the proverbial villain had been stopped. It looked like it would be a wonderful day.
Queen Minnie sighed. At least, it should be a wonderful day. But the Queen was spending it watching her husband pace back and forth across the library floor. The expression of distress pained her, but she knew nothing could be done. All she could do was stand there and watch him and wait.
"Your Majesties!"
A rough voice broke the tension and the Royal Court Magician, Donald Duck, burst into the library. Looking quite ruffled, the King's loyal subject bowed hastily and motioned toward the door, spewing out a long trail of garble. The Queen looked between the two of them, eager to understand the situation.
King Mickey stopped his pacing and looked to Donald, and a small, relieved smile crossed his face. He looked over his shoulder at the Queen.
"Don't worry, Minnie. Everything's going to be fine now," he assured her, then looked to Donald. "Let's go."
Donald gave a curt nod, and the two of them hurried off, leaving the Queen in the library. Minnie looked to the ceiling, folding her hands in prayer.
Please... let him be right.
