A/N: Hello, hello! This is your author speaking! First I would like to thank you all for choosing to read "Polaroid!" The fact that you have chosen my story to read means a lot to me. Like any author I love to hear from my readers, from flames to simple 'I like this' to in depth critiques, I'll take 'em all! So please, let me know what you think!
Second, I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts or have any control over it. I'm just a fanfiction writer! This is the only time I'll be making the disclaimer that I DON'T own Kingdom Hearts. I feel no need to make my point more then once.
Third and MOST IMPORTANTLY (AKA READ THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH) If there's an author's note at the TOP of the page THEN IT'S VERY VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ IT. It will most likely be telling you that I'm going on vacation or something and won't be able to update for a short while, but also might have other VERY IMPORTANT NEWS. If there's an author's note at the bottom, it will most likely contain my opinions on the piece or inspiration behind it that particular 'Picture,' as I will be calling them. I will also respond to any questions that you the review asks there.
Fourth AND ALSO IMPORTANT. I will be updating this story EVERY MONDAY AND THURSDAY. I'm hoping bi-weekly updates will help keep me on track as opposed to just forgetting about the story and never updating.
Without further ado, I give you the first installment of 'Polaroid!'
POLAROID
PICTURE ONE
"The Man Without A Memory"
"Hey mister! What's your name?"
He blinked.
"My… Name?"
The little girl giggled as she gazed up at the man. Golden locks splashed across the girls face, bangs grazing her pale green eyes. She was dressed simply- just a pale green shirt and pale yellow Capris, her feet bare besides the mud and dirt that coated them. Her hands were clasped behind her back as though she didn't know what else to do with them.
"Yeah, your name silly! Everyone has a name! My name is Elsey!" She gazed back up at him expectantly.
He stood there for another long moment, his brow furrowed. He sat down on the ground, legs crossed Indian style so that his head about the same level as the girl's.
"I don't remember."
She cocked her head, utterly confused at his statement. "What do you mean?"
The man pulled some grass from the ground. "I… Can't remember who I am, or where I came from." The man glanced up at her. "Is there a town near by? Maybe someone there will know who I am." He smiled at her hopefully. The girl nodded excitedly.
"Yup yup! It's called Twilight Town! It's the best place in the whole world!" she threw her arms out to prove her point, but quickly her expression sobered. "But you gotta be careful… My mom says that weird people have been showing up in funny cloaks and red outfits. But you're okay- cause your outfit is blue. I like blue a lot!"
The man stood up, quickly brushing the grass and dirt of off his white and blue pants as well as the edge of his darker blue tunic and white and black knee length vest. He glanced around the woods where they stood. He couldn't quite remember how he got there… Or anything before the little girl had shown up. Huh. All that he knew was that he had been standing their, waiting. He could feel his memories there, just barely out of reach. Suddenly one came to him.
"Edym. That's my name!" he exclaimed, excited to have remembered. The girl giggled.
"That's a funny name!" she said. The man pouted.
"No it isn't! It's a great name." he said, crossing his arms indignantly. Elsey giggled again.
"Anyways, we better go. I bet my mom would let you stay for dinner and everything!" She tugged on his sleeve and he obligingly crouched down so she could whisper in his ear. "She likes blondes men a lot." She giggled again and ruffled his hair.
"Hey!" He cried, but he was laughing too. He quickly ran his fingers through his mullet, fixing it immediately. "Well, shall we then?" he took her offered hand.
"Let's go!"
