Chapter One: New Years Eve

"Naminé honey if you're just going to sit there and draw, will you at least make use of your time and start getting ready for the party tonight?"

Ugh, mother. I'm going to choose and ignore that. Can you not leave me alone for more than five minutes? It's New Year's Eve, for goodness sake. It's bad enough that you're making me dress up for this party tonight! Can I not draw and sketch on my spare time in peace?

"NAMINE."

Apparently not. I turned to the voice from the door, shocked to see my twin sister Kairi at the door. We were not identical twins, for you can easily tell the difference between us two. She had long auburn hair that went down to her shoulders, while I took our father's traits and had blonde hair. But besides that fact, I guess you could say we looked very much alike.

"Will you please help me pick out an outfit to wear tonight?" I gave out a sigh. "I have no idea what to wear tonight. And plus, you might as well start getting ready too." My loving sister let out a smile, somehow I knew there was some kind of menace behind that smile.

My family from Destiny Islands always threw this annual New Year's Eve party. And I'm not talking a party of 10-15 people. I'm talking about a huge blown out party. I swear I think the whole island is coming to this party. Of course, they probably wouldn't mind, since they pretty much use munny as toilet paper. Not literally, of course. If they did, I wouldn't claim them as part of my family.

"Just, please Namine!" This time Kairi was pleading as she did her best puppy dog impression. She's obviously been rubbing off on her boyfriend Sora.

I sighed and finally gave up. "I guess, Kai. Come on."

Kairi squealed and skipped out of the room, while I was in the complete opposite mood and slumped my way out.


"Nam, will you hold still!"

"Kai, you – out of all people – know I don't like wearing make up!"

Kairi was attempting to put mascara on me. The one thing I hated most. I was probably scared of it because of one time she was getting me ready for a date a long time ago, she stabbed me in the eye with the thing. Needless to say, I ended up spending my night at the emergency room for my 'date.'

"There, finished!" Kairi looked proud of her recent experiment – myself. I jumped off the bed and studied myself at the full body mirror. She had forced me to wear a light blue dress, and curled the ends of my hair. Nothing too fancy, but this was dressing up to me; seeing as I hardly ever dress up. Kairi smiled at me. She was wearing a pink dress that easily matched mine, except for the change of color.

"Alright, looks like we're all set!" Kairi exclaimed. "Ready to go downstairs, Nam?"

"Looks like I really have no choice, do I?"


This is the most boring party ever. All night, I watched everybody get drunk and make a fool of themselves. Even though I was of age, I really wasn't the type to drink. I'd rather do something better with my time – like sketching. Which I'm totally about to do. Since Kairi ditched me to talk to her boyfriend. In her words: "we haven't talked all day!"

I went to our guest rooms upstairs and got what I needed: my sketchbook and some pencils. But even upstairs, people were still being loud as ever and socializing. There was no way I'd get some concentration up here. Time for Plan B: outside.

Destiny Islands always had that cool breeze at night, but not too cold. It was refreshing, compared to pretty much the whole island packed into the house. I was afraid I was starting to get claustrophobic. I sat on the steps right outside the house. Hopefully nobody would come out and distract me. It was so peaceful outside, but it was nothing compared to my hometown. You could literally smell the ocean breeze, even though the nearest one was ten miles away.

I was happily sketching when I felt a thud and then a… foot on my shoulder?

"What the –?"

I turned around to see the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen. No joke. He had spiky blonde hair, and had the prettiest blue eyes which reminded me of the ocean. He was attempting to carry another guy, who looked like he had just passed out. Possibly from drinking.

"I'm so sorry about that!" he exclaimed, dropping his friend to the floor. "My cousin here Cloud passed out, and I was just about to take him back home." I looked to his friend. It appeared he kept squirming and kept muttering something, but I can't really pinpoint to what he was saying. The blonde who was carrying his cousin merely kicked him in the face and shook his head. That would probably leave a mark in the morning. Cloud giggled, and went back to his passed out phase.

I don't know how long we sat there in silence, but I didn't even realize it. "U-uh, you need me to help you?" I asked breaking the silence.

He flashed a smile. "That would be great! He just lives right next door, so it won't be too far of a walk."

The said blonde carried the upper part of this Cloud's body, while I just grabbed his feet. Finally, when we arrived at his house, the blonde ordered to just drop him to the floor.

"Thanks for that, I owe you one!" he exclaimed.

"No problem, I should probably get back to that party though. My mom will kill me if she finds out I ditched, even for a little bit."

He laughed, "Alright." I started walking off and was close to leaving the property, until I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Wait! I didn't even get my helper's name?"

I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "Namine. And yours?"

"Roxas." The blonde smiled and he took out his hand, I shook it politely. "The name's Roxas."

Well. Maybe something good came out of this night – no wait – this break after all... Too bad all good things must come to an end... when I have to go back to school.
