Chapter One: The Beginning….
Sierra
My plane was already delayed five hours earlier and now my cousin isn't here to pick me up. I've been waiting at the airport rest area in Destiny Islands for about an hour now and I can not think of any reason why Sora would be late. Well, unless he got trapped by a ninja koala and has to fight it with a taco to make it go away… but my imagination must be what is causing me to think that he's running late. But in fact, he was actually standing over me for about twenty minutes now. "Sierraaaaa, stop staring into space and pick up your bags so we can go! Auntie Aqua made enchiladas and Papou Fruit cake for dessert and if we don't hurry Roxas will eat all of the food before you can say but!" His voice brought me out of my doldrums, was he really standing there for almost a half an hour? Huh, I guess focusing on how pink my hair is really does make time fly by! "I'm so sorry Sora! thinking about the big move and my hair really takes a lot of my focus, I'm surprised I haven't ran into any walls or doors yet, or tripped on air especially. I almost tripped on the stairs to get off of the plane and that would have been totes embarrassing." He stares at me like I just presented him with a twelve hour speech, "Well, I just got a text from Roxas saying that if we don't hurry he seriously will eat all of our food and leave us with crackers if we're not home in the next ten minutes." He gives me a friendly shake and we scurry our way out of the airport and head towards his car. We put my things that I was able to bring with me in the trunk and get in our seats and buckle our belts up. "Gosh Sora, you were in there for a while, did you forget what your little cousin looked like?" Sora's boyfriend, Riku, asks after we're on the road on the way to Sora's house. The first thing I noticed about Riku was that he had the most fabulously long hair that I've ever seen and it looked extremely attractive on him. His hair takes on a hue of silver and a bit of white but damn it looks fine on him. No wonder why Sora was attracted to this adonis, he was gorgeous.
"So Sierra, what town did you move here from? And Sora mentioned that you'll be going to the same school with us is that correct?" Well, now I know that Sora is bad at keeping things between the family I guess I can't talk to him about boys anymore, sigh. "Oh, I came here from Radiant Garden and yeah Sora's right, starting next week I'll be a sophomore at your high school. So, whats life like here on the islands?" Ha, I guess that question must have caused them to reminisce. Sora pipes up first, "Those were the days, Riku used to pick on me when we were younger and this we before we had feelings for each other. Growing up; Riku, Kairi, and I were the best of friends while Roxas was still in diapers. Those days were the best." Sora smiles as he finishes and grabs a hold of Riku's free available hand that isn't occupied on the steering wheel. "I was going to say what Sora said, but everything he said is spot on." Well, does this mean Riku lets Sora do all the talking for them? That does make sense a bit, at every family reunion Sora is able to have a conversation with six people at the same time and make it seem natural. I wish I was able to be like my cousin, he's outgoing, is extremely friendly, and is a really supportive person. I on the other hand am quite a paradox, I try to blend in with the crowd but I also end up standing out due to my vivid hair colors. Being normal is lame, so why not make yourself unique? Second, I am an extremely shy person, I can't even talk to a guy without having a panic attack about whether he thinks I'm annoying or not. "We're here guys!" Sora exclaims excitedly as we pull into the driveway of the house. The house was quite large even for being on an island, the yard was gorgeous with a capital G- the pathway to the door was lined with rose bushes and flowers lined the sides of every corner of the yard. This yard has been cared for as if it was one's one child I think before Sora yet again has to elongate my name to re-obtain my attention. "Sierra, Sierraaaa, SIERRA!" After he shouts I notice that I tripped… on a pebble. I really should take yoga or something, these constant trips of falling over the most ridiculous things is going to cause me pain in the future. "Come on Sierra, lets go inside and make you feel welcomed at home!" Sora and Riku exclaim excitedly as they enter through the doorway into the house. Curious to see how the inside of the house is detailed, I timidly enter into the lovely abode.
"Welcome to your new home Sierra!" As I walked in the house, I was bombarded by confetti, balloons, streamers, party music, and Sora strapping a party hat to my head. Everyone had such a happy and excited expression on their faces, Sora looked as if his face was going to explode as to how large his grin was. Then there was Riku, his attempts to keep the energetic brunette still were not succeeding at all if I must say so. And then there was another kid who was smiling as well and looked extremely similar to Sora. "Sierra, this is my younger brother Roxas, you guys are in the same grade." Hmm, so he's Roxas, well he does look extremely similar to Sora, but his hair was less spiky and he had blonde hair, opposing Sora's brunette. As I attempt to look around them, I see that the house has an extremely natural feel to it. The living room has an ordinary looking couch, a cool looking television, a table with matching chairs, and pictures of Sora and friends when they were younger were on the entirety of the walls, they all looked so precious as little kids it was astounding. "Welcome to our home Sierra! But first Sora kinda planned a welcome party in your honor even though your dad told me that you disliked parties with a passion." A woman in a long white dress declares to me, and her blue hair was an interesting sight as well. "I'm Aqua by the way, but as Sora already mentioned earlier I'm the boys' aunt and they obtained a liking to calling me 'Auntie Aqua' when they were younger and the nickname has stuck ever since!" She smiles calmingly at me but her eyes showed that she was just as excited as Sora for my being here, I wonder if he got all of his energy from living with Aqua for all of these years? Wait, did she mention that my father sent word beforehand that he strongly advised against throwing me a welcoming party? That's good old dad for you, the only parent in this situation to actually take the time out of his day to learn about his one and only child. My father wasn't a person to skip over details, as an office worker for the past however many years, he's developed the ability to tell someone specific information when it's produced and before it's deadline of needing to be heard. My mother on the other hand however, was a different story. She worked at a bookstore a few towns away and was never really there for me when I was growing up. However, when she did happen to be home I could overhear her and my dad arguing about something I couldn't understand. It must have been important adult stuff that I wasn't allowed to know about, but I heard them after time and their talks didn't sound friendly at all. Now here's the irony, my parents decided to get divorced on my sixteenth birthday, trust me it sucks I know. My brain is telling me to stop remembering the bad and to experience the good that is about to happen in my life. The timer on the oven goes off and Aqua pipes up, "The main dish is done! Could you guys be delightful little creatures and put Sierra's stuff in her room? And Sierra could you help me set the table?" Sora, Riku, and even Roxas precede to take my stuff up the stairs into my new room. There is one thing that I have to say to Aqua before we get started though, "This is the best day of my life, thank you." Right after I broke down in tears and Aqua noticed and she rushed to my side. "Sierra, what's wrong?" She calmingly embraces me in a small hug. I break down in tears, this is the first time I've cried in front of anyone since my ex-boyfriend dumped me at our school's dance. "I'm just so happy to be here, everyone has been so nice to me and I can't thank all of you enough!" I attempt to say through all of my sobs and sniffles. Aqua escorts me to my seat and finishes setting the table. As Aqua finishes, the boys come down with their hands behind their backs and mischievous grins on their faces. "We all chipped in on funds to buy you some welcome presents, so we hope you like them!" Roxas and Sora beam as they hug me simultaneously. "You can open the presents after dinner', Aqua states, 'but for now lets settle down and eat some delicious food!" As everyone gets settled at the table I have the impression that this might be a good change for me. I believe that my life truly will start from here.
