A/N: Heya! Many thanks to all who clicked on my story and are actually going to read it! Thank you!!!!

Now then, I know, this is really short, but it's just the prologue! The actual chapters will be longer than this, I promise! I just felt like I needed to explain this stuff, so...prologue it is!

Prologue

Nobody should ever take what good they have in life for granted. Good things come and go, just like loved ones--that is, if you don't hold onto them. Then again, sometimes, even if you hold on with all your might, they go away. And sometimes you don't expect certain things to happen. You are unprepared. You're not ready for what's to come. You can never be sure of what's to come, or what's going to happen. You can't look into the future, you can't predict what is and isn't going to happen--you just have to wait and see what's coming. What happens. And boy, did something happen to the Nomura family....

Years ago, the Nomura family lost something very important to them....

They were a happy family. Until that one, fateful day....excuse me, let me start from the beginning.

Two newly-weds, Mr. and Mrs. Nomura, had everything. They had plenty of munny, a large, beautiful house (more like a mansion), great jobs, lots of food, expensive, stylish clothes from all of the top brands; they had great friends, a safe neighborhood, a trusty (and rather furry) little companion who would always howl at the moon at night, loyal, trust-worthy maids and butler; and they had their true loves (each other, mind you).

Months after their marriage, Mrs. Nomura found out that she was pregnant. She was rather young, in her mid-twenties, and was very excited (and a tad bit worried) about her first baby. She called her mother, her father, her sisters, her brothers, her cousins, her aunts, her uncles, her friends, her neighbors; everyone. She was ecstatic. And her husband, although a little worried, was also rather excited.

After nine months she had the baby; a strong, healthy male with mysterious shapes under his eyes. They looked like upside down tears...purple ones. There was one under each of his eyes. It was odd and unusual, but the child's parents didn't mind--they loved him very much.

Axel, the baby, turned out to be a real spirited fellow. Although he had quite a temper, he was very sweet and kind, and had a good heart. He had astonishingly spiky, out-of-control, fiery-red hair and amazing blue-green eyes that were wild and full of life. He had a very thin figure, which at first worried his parents. They took him to a doctor, but the doctor told them that he was perfectly healthy. As he continued to maintain his slim shape, his parents decided that that was just how his body was built.

Axel had a strong fascination with fire. Even though his parents scolded him when he played with it and told him that it wasn't safe, he just couldn't resist. When they weren't around he would light a lighter--which he had bought from a local drug store--and either play with the fire or just stare at it.

Six years later Mrs. Nomura gave birth to twins, both girls. Naminé and Kairi. Just as Axel had been, Naminé and Kairi were very healthy.

Kairi was the older twin, and had auburn hair that was around shoulder length, and pretty, violet-blue eyes. She had a small, delicate figure, just like her sister, Naminé, who had the same eyes as her older twin but instead of auburn had pale blonde hair that was a bit longer than Kairi's and was styled to hang over her right shoulder.

Naminé was more shy than Kairi, and was a very talented artist. She loved to draw. Kairi specialized in making seashell necklaces.

Axel decided, after some time, that his sisters weren't half bad, and took an extra liking to Naminé.

Seven years later, Mrs. Nomura had another healthy son and named him Terra. He grew up to be a strong little guy, with spiky-ish brown hair and cerulean eyes. Two years after that, a daughter named Aqua, with short blue-violet-ish hair and dark blue-ish eyes. She was very pretty, just like her sisters were.

And then, four years later, came another bundle of joy; Ventus, 'Ven' for short. He was a boy, and a very adorable one at that. He had a small figure, spiky ginger-blonde gravity-defying hair, and beautiful, deep sky blue eyes.

And then, as if they didn't have enough children already, they adopted a silvery-haired boy; Riku. His hair was incredible, and completely natural. He hadn't dyed it, it was just naturally silver--from the day he was born.

And if you thought his hair was amazing, then you had to look at his eyes...and his face! His eyes were incredible, such a beautiful aquamarine color...enchanting. Simply enchanting. And his face...wow. He would definitely fit right in with Axel. Well, looks-wise, anyway. They were both...beautiful. They were quite the sexy beasts (beta fish says she changed it because she likes her sentence better)

Riku was about five years younger than Axel, and one year older than Naminé and Kairi. He got along best with Kairi out of the whole group.

Things were going fine for a while. The kids were in school, they all got along fairly well, and they were all pretty happy.

But then it happened. The fateful day that changed all of their lives.

On their way back from work, Mr. and Mrs. Nomura both got into the same car accident with a huge semi.

The whole family was devastated.

Of course, little Ven didn't really know what was going on, seeing as how he was only one year old at the time. Aqua was five years old, Terra was seven, and Naminé and Kairi were fourteen. Therefore Riku was fifteen and Axel was twenty. Yup, still living with his parents after twenty years. However, no one really minded, except for Riku and Kairi who sometimes got annoyed with him.

And, as if their parents dying wasn't enough, they got bankrupt and were left with very little munny.

Well, first went the maids and butler, then went cable, then went the internet, then went certain household items and furniture, then went the dog (sadly), and eventually went the house. They just couldn't afford such a big house anymore.

And so, a year after their parent's death, they moved from Destiny Islands--a small, happy island-- to Twilight Town. They kept the big van, although the smaller, more stylish cars they had had before had to go.

And that's where our story begins, when the family is just arriving in Twilight Town....

A/N: And there's the prologue for ya! Thanks for reading! I would very much appreciate it if you reviewed--although, if you don't want to review because it's just the prologue, I understand. But I would be SO happy if you could continue reading and reviewing! You don't know how happy it makes me when people like my stories!

Moogles and chocobos to all who are going to R&R! Thanks! I will try to have the first chapter up soon. It really shouldn't take that long, and I'm looking forward to writing it, so...stay tuned!

Also, many thanks to my beta fish, flurry of dying flames! Thank you!!

P.S. I just want to say, that I know it's really lame, but I don't usually go over what I write, but I did this time! I feel so proud! It's just that usually, after I finish a chapter of something or something, I usually just wanna send it to beta fish and then post it on here. WELL, I've decided that I'm going to be a good author and actually go over what I write from now on! So yeah....anywho...thanks for reading!

Until next time,
