Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or Alice in Wonderland. Just the idea for this fic.

A/N: Hello, readers! *if people are actually reading this* This is my 2nd KH fanfic, which is Naminé-centric and is Namixas. Seriously, it only took me a few fics of this couple and videos of their moments in the games to make me love their pairing to bits. I got this idea after watching parody trailer vids (yes, I'm crazy.) and I kinda wanted to write something with Naminé and Roxas in it... until kaboom! Alice in Wonderland style! Although this will be quite different from Alice in Wonderland and will have its originality, twists and turns. Roxas will appear in a future chapter (hint hint: chapter 2 or 3 XD) and appear in every chapter after that. I hope you guys like this fic! I worked hard on this! *puppy dog pout* Haha! Anyways, read away! :D

P.S. Yep. It's "Naminé in WAnderland." :P


Naminé in Wanderland

...

Chapter 1

Twilight Town Academy

...

Naminé Strife couldn't believe her eyes as she hopped off the train that left from her hometown, Radiant Garden. People around her were buzzing with excitement. She, however, felt lost, despite having company. She had her brother, Cloud, by her side. He was quite tall and his green eyes gave off an icy stare that could ward off even the most ruthless gang of criminals in the area. And she had a pet moogle too. Frosty white with a cherry red pom-pom of fur resting on its head, it stayed in Naminé's grasp as she examined the place. It was a sunset colored town, hence its name, probably. Even the walls of the train station appeared orange-y to her.

"Let's go get our luggage, Naminé," Cloud said seriously. She broke free from her silent trance and nodded.

"We're here now, kupo?" sniffed the sleepy moogle. Naminé nodded and hugged it tighter. "Yes. We're here. Our new home, Kisa."

Naminé caught up with Cloud quickly to avoid getting bumped by strangers. Her brother pulled her to his left side. "Don't go far from me. We're still new in this town. We don't know what kind of people are here."

She nodded. Her brother spoke the truest of words. It became hard after their parents died. It became hard to trust others ever since. And Radiant Garden became a harsh place to live in ever since the passing of their parents. Their uncle and the mayor of Radiant Garden, Ansem Kashikoi served as their guardian for three years. Life wasn't bad with him. But when Cloud graduated high school and aspired to become a law student, Ansem told him it was best to go to Twilight Town for college. He gave the Strife siblings ownership over his vacation house there and promised to send them money every month for their allowance.

"Let's get our luggage," Cloud said simply. He held Naminé's hand as the passed the many sections of the train station until they found the baggage conveyor belt. It took a couple of minutes before they spotted their luggage. Naminé and Kisa watched Cloud drag their first heavy luggage out of the conveyor belt.

"This contains your clothes, right, kupo?" Kisa asked. Naminé nodded and stroked her moogle's pom-pom. They waited for their other luggage, and finally left the train station. Cloud hailed for a cab and the siblings tolerated the longest ride they had without their parents. Naminé sighed and took out a sketchpad from the backpack she wore since the last hours she spent in Radiant Garden. Cloud, who sat beside the driver, was silent. Kisa was snoozing on his owner's lap and Naminé couldn't help herself but smile at the little thing.

"Don't draw. The car is moving," Cloud told her.

"I'm just going to look at my other drawings," she replied.

"Oh. Feel free to scan then."

The awkward silence remained. Naminé sighed and flipped open her sketchbook. There was one drawing of her and Kisa below a paopu fruit tree that reminded her of the vacation they had in Destiny Islands with their Uncle Ansem. She turned the page and softly giggled at her old attempt for Cloud's portrait. She did fine, but according to Cloud, his hair was too spiky. The next page had a couple of caricatures of her and Uncle Ansem doing silly faces. She turned the page and traced her fingers on the unfinished work she made. It was the Central Square of Radiant Garden viewed from the sidelines. It made her miss Radiant Garden even more.

The next drawing perplexed her. She drew it, but it was so… unusual. There was a series of roads leading to different places like a wide garden, a lane of disfigured houses, a lakeside, a gloomy-looking forest, a cave, and a castle. The roads were connected in the center with a large building perched on top of it. She couldn't tell what kind of building it was. Perhaps it was a mansion? Or another castle? She couldn't tell, and she drew it! She traced her fingers at the subtle details. There were shadowy figures of people in each location with different positions as well.

"Hmm… maybe I was daydreaming while I drew this," she thought. She sketched it while riding the train and maybe her wandering mind caused her to doodle mindlessly. Still, though, it was a nice drawing.

The taxi halted in front of a large, orange-tinted suburban house. Naminé quickly checked the view from the window and saw it was actually white in color. Kisa floated beside her and scanned the house.

"Oooh, it's big, kupo!" he exclaimed.

Cloud paid the taxi driver and told Naminé and Kisa to get off the car. After obtaining their luggage from the back of the taxi, they stood in awe for a moment in front of their new home. Cloud coughed and broke the silence.

"Let's get in. We have a big day tomorrow."

"Huh? What are we going to do tomorrow?" Naminé asked.

"We're going to enroll you in Twilight Town Academy, of course. University can wait."

...

The Strife siblings spent their day fixing up their things in their new home and had a little celebration of their new lives. Cloud was thankful that Naminé was a good cook. They ate together with the joys of the television for entertainment. After that, Cloud managed to contact the university he planned to enter in and even inquired in Twilight Town Academy for Naminé. She gave up as Cloud insisted that they would enroll the next day. After all, Cloud was the type of guy who was serious in everything he did.

The next day came quickly and anxiously ate up Naminé. She cooked a good breakfast and thanked her Uncle Ansem telepathically for stocking the refrigerator before they came. Cloud snuck up behind her and surprised her before explaining that the house was being rented before they moved in.

"Oh. So the food is for other people?" she asked, flipping a pancake.

"Well, you can say that. But they left them out of good heart. Uncle Ansem told them we were moving in and because of his kindness, they happily gave us something to start with in this house," he replied.

Naminé sighed. She was used to waking up in the morning, but she didn't expect to be enrolled in a new school. She was starting her first year in high school and she couldn't believe she'd have to repeat another cycle of staying invisible.

"Now, Naminé, when we start school, enjoy yourself," Cloud suddenly said. "Don't do what I did. Zack told me I was kinda lone-wolfish, and you had the tendency to be a bit distant to people too. So, have fun this year. And if you don't, I'll bring you to the amusement park as many times as I could." Cloud chuckled at his own joke.

"How did you know I thought about being invisible in school?" she chirped. Naminé poured another batter of pancake mix on the frying pan and watched Kisa float towards the living room.

"You're my sister. Of course I know," he replied.

"Pancakes! Are you gonna put kupo nuts on them, kupo?" Kisa asked. Naminé and Cloud laughed together and felt the lighthearted atmosphere between them bond them even closer than before.

They ate their breakfasts heartily. Luckily for Kisa, Cloud had a fresh pack of kupo nuts for him to eat. The siblings conversed about Cloud's university life. Naminé was shocked when Cloud told her that Zack and Tifa were going to the same school as he was.

"The pancakes were great, as usual, sis," Cloud said, ruffling Naminé's blonde hair. "I'll wash the dishes. Feel free to fix yourself up. Twilight Town Academy sounds high class, you know."

She dashed up to her room with mixed feelings of excitement and anxiety. One thing she disliked in Radiant Garden was her lack of friends. She was content with drawing and often doodled in class, which was disproved by her classmates. They would call her the dreamer and taunt her drawings. The only people in school who had sympathy for her were Aerith, Zack, Tifa, her brother, and the teachers. Maybe Twilight Town would be different for her… in a good way.

Naminé took a shower and fixed herself up afterwards. She pulled on a simple white top and a grayish, knee-length skirt. She brushed her straight, blonde hair and made sure her locks draped over her right shoulder. She liked it despite being unusually habitual. She wore her sandals and glanced at her reflection on the mirror before running downstairs.

"I'm ready!"

"Good," Cloud said with a smile.

Naminé called Kisa and followed Cloud to the taxi in front of their home. "Oh! My backpack!" She asked Cloud to wait, and he gladly obliged. Naminé ran to her room and grabbed her backpack filled with her sketchbook and pencils. Cloud told her to hurry up until they entered the car. It was still a silent ride, and Naminé took the time to reminisce on her drawing once again.

"We're here," Cloud said simply. Naminé and Kisa hopped off the taxi and stared in awe of Twilight Town Academy. Strangely, it resembled the building that was in the center of Naminé's drawing.


A/N: Pardon for the way I cast the characters if you guys don't like it. I first planned this to happen in Radiant Garden, but since Roxas is more inclined to be in Twilight Town... DING! So having Ansem the Wise as Naminé's dad is out, 'coz he's pretty important in Radiant Garden and stuff. So I chose to use Cloud instead as her brother/guardian. And I love moogles. :P He's named Kisa because it's Russian for kitten. And Kisa's a he. Even though he's supposed to be a she. Hehe. Maybe Naminé thought he was a she when she first got him? Haha. Anyways, please review! I hope you guys liked this chapter! And stay tuned for the next! Roxas will be coming soon!
