Chapter 1: The Awakening

Co-written by koolguy1776 and fiercepotato98

It was a late night during a midsummer weekend and Matt and Ryan were sitting in Matt's room playing their favorite game, Kingdom Hearts 2. They had been playing for two hours already and were starting to get tired.

Eventually, Ryan fell asleep followed shortly by Matt. They both fell into a dead sleep before they could turn off the video game console, let alone quit the game they were playing. They fell asleep somewhere around two in the morning, and at around three thirty that same early morning both of the boys lives would be changed forever. At approximately 3:32 masses of meteors flew across the sky covered in a red flame, some hit the ground and destroyed whatever they hit, some kept on going in the night sky, but only one caused four lives to be changed forever.

The two teenage boys awoke at the same time with a bright light shining in their faces. After a few seconds of letting their eyes adjust to the brightness of the area around them they looked around. All they could see was a vast ocean of bright blue with a wooden dock protruding about 50 feet off of the beach surrounded by a couple of boats painted white. Ryan turned around to see what was behind them. He saw a bunch of wooden houses and stairs leading down to the beach they were standing on. Slightly to Matt's left he could see a little waterfall that dropped the clear water into a tiny little stream on the ground beneath it.

"Where the hell are we?" Matt asked as he turned to his right to look at Ryan who was sitting with his legs straight out still looking around.

"I have no clue. Where is everyone?" Ryan answered Matt's question and in return asked him one.

"I don't know, my watch stopped working so I can't even tell what time it is," Matt said.

"Yeah my phone's dead…great, my iPod is, too," Ryan said as the two stood up and brushed the sand off of their pants and shirts.

"Let's look around maybe we'll see someone who can tell us where we are," Matt suggested as the both took their first steps in an unknown land in perfect unison.

After walking around the perimeter of the beachy land they realized that they were on an island and that they couldn't figure out a possible or probable explanation of how they got there. The continued their exploration but broke away from the edge of the sand and water and walked towards all of the trees and wooden houses. As they walked up a flight of wooden steps that led up to a wooden landing they saw two girls looking over the edge of the railing, one was blonde and the other was a girl with dark red hair. They two boys called out to them to get their attention.

"Who are you? I've never seen you two around here before," the red head asked the two.

"I'm Ryan and this is Matt," Ryan said introducing them, "can you tell us where we are?"

"You're on Destiny Islands," the blonde stated, "have you seen two boys, one named Roxas and the other is named Sora?"

"No, you're the first people we've seen and we don't even know what happened to us or how we got here. The last thing I remember was we were at your house and then we fell asleep…" Ryan said talking to the girls then turning his attention to Matt, who was standing to his left.

"Well the last time we saw them was last night, too, where are you two from?" the red headed girl standing in front of Ryan asked.

"We're from Harpers Ferry," Matt answered.

"I've never heard of that world. Anyway, welcome to Destiny Islands. My names Kairi and this is Namine," the girl named Kairi said pointing to the blonde next to her.

"Would you mind helping us find our friends? We can't see them from up here and I'm starting to get worried," Namine asked the two boys.

They both agreed to lend a hand and the four of them set off in search of the missing teenage boys.

"They better not be playing a trick on us!" Kairi said in an annoyed tone after about an hour of searching.

The group of four searched the whole rest of the day and only stopped once to eat a lunch of fruit.

"Thank you for your help," Namine thanked them as the sun went down.

"No problem. I do have a few questions," Matt spoke up looking at the blonde.

"You can ask us anything," Kairi said.

"Well, we don't exactly have a place to sleep do either of you know where we could go?" Matt asked after quickly glancing at Ryan and then turning his attention back to the two girls.

"You guys can stay in the spare bedroom at my house," Namine offered.

"Really? That'd be great!" Ryan said happy they wouldn't have to sleep in the uncomfortable beach sand.

"Yeah, of course you guys helped us look all day and we don't even know that well so don't mention it," Namine said smiling at the two.

"I do have one more question," Matt said to Namine after they said goodbye to their new friend, Kairi, and were on their way to Namine's house.

"And what's that?" Namine asked looking back at the boy.

"Do you remember anything weird from last night or have idea of how we got here and your friends disappeared?" Matt asked trying to piece together any possibility that could have occurred, no matter how impossible the theory was.

"I don't how you got here, or what happened to Sora and Roxas. But, I do remember that there was a meteor shower really late last night, me Kairi, Sora, and Roxas were watching it together," Namine told them, "Roxas and Sora went to get all of us some water and we haven't seen them since…"

"Hmm, I don't know but thank you for your help," Matt said shooting a confused look at Ryan.

They got to Namine's house shortly after their meteor shower conversation ended and Namine showed them their room.

"There's only one bed so you can fight over who gets it," Namine told them as she opened the spare room door.

"Dibs!" Ryan yelled before Matt could claim the bed.

"Jerk," Matt muttered as he put his 'bed' of blankets on the floor.

Shortly after getting their beds ready they went to bed.

"Do you think this meteor shower could've done something to bring us here? I mean we were playing a game about this place when it happened…" Ryan asked Matt after they turned out the lights and got in their beds, or in Matt's case floor.

"I don't know…all I know is I'm tired. We'll discuss this tomorrow," Matt said and was asleep minutes after he spoke.
