Hey people! Now this is just an idea that I'm playing around with so it might or might not be continued. I hope this chapter turns out good.

Chapter 1: Models
"Naminé sweetie, wake up. We're here." A man whispered shaking his sleeping daughter awake. Naminé yawned and sat up.
"How long have I been asleep?" she mumbled, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her mother came around the car and chuckled, straightening her daughters sleep mussed blond hair.
"Oh for about 4 hours." she said, pulling a box out of the car.
Her mother, Amanda, had the same shoulder length blond hair making Naminé and her look somewhat alike except she has hazel eyes and Naminé has cerulean. She got her blue eyes from her father; Jeremy Naminé slid out of her seat and looked up at her new house.
It was a white colonial with black shutters. She had seen pictures of the inside and outside and noticed that it was much bigger then all her old houses. In fact, all the houses that were in this development were bigger then her old home. She looked down the street at the house that was sitting at the end of the cul-de-sac. It was the biggest house out of all of them.
I wonder who lives there. She thought, grabbing her box of art supplies from the backseat. Shrugging it off, she turned to her parents and asked "Can I go see what the rest of the house looks like?" Jeremy placed another box on the ground that was labeled "pots and pans."
"Sure. While you're in there, choose a bedroom, but not the master bedroom, because your mother and I already called it." He laughed. Naminé rolled her eyes, playfully and walked into the house. She made her way up the stairs and down the hallway, stopping at the first room. Curiously, she opened the white door and looked around.
It was in fact the master bedroom that she couldn't have. The room was big and had two other doors, one leading to a walk in closet and the other to a bathroom. She closed the door and opened the one across the hall. It was a small room. Probably like a study.
Naminé opened up the last white door that led to a larger white room then the study. It faced the side yard, but she could live with that. The one thing she liked about this room was that the windows were big and it had a little place to sit and look out. She placed her box down on the floor and put her hands on her hips.
Yep. She definitely could live with this.
Fortunately/unfortunately, the moving van wouldn't be coming for a couple of days so there wasn't really that much to bring in, just the necessities. Until then, they slept in sleeping bags and ate on the floor.
-----+-----
Later that day, Naminé took her sketch book and colored pencils and walked into the backyard which was fairly big. She found shade from the hot July sun under a nearby tree. What she didn't know was that she was being watched by 3 slightly nosey neighbors.
"She's kind of cute." The pudgy raven haired boy said. The blond haired boy next to him shook his head.
"Kind of? Dude, she's hot!"
A brunette girl cleared her throat behind the two making them jump.
"Olette!" They cried, making Naminé look up. She didn't see anything so she went back to drawing.
"Who's hot?" She asked, glaring daggers at the blond. He blushed slightly and mumbled "You are."
"Look, you two need to stop staring at my new neighbor! It's called peeping!" She hissed. The two boys ignored her and looked over the fence again. "Hayner, Pence! Stop!" She yanked them down by the back of their shirts. The two hit the ground, groaning.
Hearing the commotion, Naminé placed her sketch book down and wondered over to the fence. She popped her head over and looked down at 3 teens that were looking up at her. The first to speak was the brunette, supposedly named Olette.
"I am so sorry! My friends were curious as to whom my new neighbors were and they're guys so-"
"It's okay, really. I get that a lot." Naminé said, pulling herself all the way over the fence. "My name's Naminé and you are?" She asked.
"Olette, and this is my nosy boyfriend, Hayner." The blond nodded. "And that's Pence." The raven haired boy waved. "It's nice to meet you."
"Same." Naminé replied, tucking a blond tress behind her ear.
"What did you mean when you said you get that a lot?" Pence asked. Naminé sighed and looked down.
"Well, my father works for this huge company that likes to move him from place to place because he's a photographer. Maybe you've heard of it. Starlight Pictures?"
"Oh my god! No way! He's a photographer for Starlight Pictures! That's unbelievable! Some of the most famous people from around here get photographed by them! And the president of that company lives right down the street!" Olette pointed to the huge house on the cul-de-sac. Well, now she new who lived in the mansion. "And guess what! Their sons are our best friends!" Hayner and Pence nodded.
"Really? So have you ever had your picture taken by the company?"
"No. I've never met any of the photographers but Sora and Roxas have, and their practically famous!"
"They're the twins that always model for the top notch designers on Destiny Islands!" Naminé exclaimed.
"Yep!" Pence said, just as hyper as Olette has been a couple seconds ago. "They are like living the life in that house!" Hayner, who wasn't as hyper as the other two, smirked.
"Do you know how many kids would kill to be Sora and Roxas?" He asked. "Pence may be one of their best friends, but if he had to, he would kill one of them just to get his picture taken."
"We can't forget about Riku or Kairi either." Olette said. "Riku got his picture taken a couple of times because he has long silver hair. Kairi got her picture taken once because she's Sora's girlfriend."
"So…have you ever had YOUR picture taken by the company? I mean, your father is a photographer." Hayner pointed out. Naminé shook her head somewhat sadly.
"I wish, but my dad says it really isn't worth it because he's seen models that starve themselves to look good. It sickens him and both he and my mother won't let me do it."
"That stinks." Pence said, glancing at the house one last time. "Say, how old are you anyway?"
"Me? Oh, I'm 15. And you?"
"We're all 15 too! Boy, you moved into like the best neighborhood. Everyone who lives in those houses…" Olette pointed up and down the street. "Are our best friends and most of them are 15. The only people who aren't are Riku, Wakka, Sora and Roxas. Sora and Roxas just turned 16 July 15th. They're lucky. They're getting their cars soon, because they are starting Drivers Ed. this year. Riku and another friend of ours are already driving."
"Everyone else is starting in the spring." Hayner muttered.
"Don't mind him. He's just grumpy because he has to ask for a ride instead of taking his own imaginary car." Pence joked, causing everyone to laugh but Hayner.
"Say, do you guys mind showing me around later? I'd love to see what the island looks like." Naminé asked.
"We'd love to!" Olette exclaimed, pulling out a pen. "Here, these are our cell numbers. Do you have a cell phone?" Naminé pulled out her pink razr and smiled. Olette squealed and pulled out her own. "We have the same ones! Kairi and another girl names Selphie do too!"
"Girls and their colors." Pence chuckled, pulling out his silver razr. Hayner laughed tossing his blue one in the air and catching it.
"So we'll come get you at 4:00pm. Olette confirmed. Naminé nodded and walked over to the fence, pulling herself up and over. "Oh and Naminé!" The blond turned around. "There's a gate, just so you know." She opened a gate that almost blended in with the fence. Naminé blushed and started walking backwards to the tree.
"Right…I'll remember that next time!" She laughed, grabbing her stuff and running into the house.
-----+-----
4:00pm came quicker then Naminé expected. She was in the middle of brushing her hair when the doorbell rang. She could hear the shuffle of feet downstairs and the opening of a door.
"Why hello. You must be Olette, Hayner, and Pence." Her mother's voice could be heard. "Well she should be down in-"
"I'm right here." Naminé said, walking down the stairs. She smoothed out her white sun dress and placed her cell in the pocket of her jeans. "I'll be home later. I have my cell with me." She added, following the three teens out the door.
-----+-----
So you've lived in Hallow Bastion, Traverse Town, Twilight Town, back to Radiant Gardens which used to be Hallow Bastion, and now you live here?" Pence asked amazed.
"Yeah! The best part is, my dad said that this time, we are probably here to stay because the head quarters of Starlight Pictures is just on the other side of the island."
"I think you are going to love it here!" Olette exclaimed, locking arms with her. "I moved here in 3rd grade and fell in love with everything this place has to offer. Nice weather, good food, awesome beaches, beautiful sunsets. The list goes on and on!"
"Man, the last time I saw Olette this happy was when she found out she got a kitten for her birthday." Pence said, looking in back at the two giggling girls.
"That cat hates me." Hayner grumbled, crossing his arms, causing Pence to laugh.
"Maybe it's because you dropped her when she was little."
"That's no fair! She bit me!" He defended himself, rubbing the spot where the cat had decided to take a bite out of him.
"Oh come on! It was just a love bite."
"Maybe to you, but to her it was dinner."
"Whatever you say Hayner, whatever you say." The four continued walking to the ice cream parlor which was their last stop on the tour.
When they finally got there, Pence pointed to a table where two guys were sitting. Naminé noticed one had red-orange hair and the other had blond hair.
"Look, Tidus and Wakka are here." He said and ran over to them. Olette started explaining that Tidus and Wakka were the stars of the North Destiny blitzball team and have been best friends since diapers.
"Hey guys. I want you to meet Naminé. Naminé, this is Tidus," The Blond waved and gave a friendly "hello". "And that's Wakka." The red head smiled.
"What up?" Wakka asked, pounding fists with Pence and Hayner.
"Not much really, just showing Naminé around town." Hayner said, sitting down in between Tidus and Wakka. Naminé and Olette sat down across from them.
"I'll go get the ice cream." Pence said, walking to the entrance.
"Don't eat it all before you get back!" Hayner yelled. Pence gave him a funny look and rubbed his stomach.
"Awwww, but I'm hungry!" He whined.
"When are you not hungry?" Tidus asked, throwing his blitzball at the raven haired boy. Pence laughed and threw it back.
"True." And with that, he disappeared into the store. Tidus and Wakka turned to Naminé and stared at her. She blushed and looked away. For her whole life, she hated being stared at because she always thought she did or said something wrong.
"So Naminé, have you seen the school yet?" Tidus asked, twirling his bliztball on one finger. She nodded, playing with the hem of her dress.
"Yeah. It's a very pretty school." She replied, looking into his blue eyes. "I didn't see the inside of it yet because its summer, but it looks pretty big from the outside."
"It is big on the inside. The gym is separated into two parts: The swimming area and the actual basketball court. So you can already imagine how big the gym is." Olette said. "There are downsides to the school though."
"Like what?" Naminé asked, genuinely curious.
"Like school doesn't get out until 4:00pm." Wakka said.
"Don't forget about out uniforms." Hayner added.
"And the teachers expect A's and B's out of you." Olette finished. Pence came back and handed everyone a blue ice cream on a stick. Naminé took hers and sighed.
"Boy this school sounds like it's going to be fun." She stated, sarcasm dripping off every word. "Is this blueberry by the way?"
"Try it, you'll see." He smiled, biting a chunk off of his. Naminé stuck it in her mouth and tasted it. She pulled it out and stared at it funny.
"Well?" Olette asked. Everyone was waiting for her reaction.
"Salty, but sweet." Naminé shrugged and stuck it back in her mouth.
"It's good isn't it?" Olette giggled, watching Naminé nod her head quickly. "I thought so."
An hour later, everyone was walking back home. Wakka didn't take his car because it wasn't that far to the ice cream place from their houses. Before Naminé walked into her yard, she exchanged her cell number with Wakka and Tidus.
"Thanks for showing me around, guys." Naminé said. "This was probably the fastest I've ever made friends. Uh…we are friends, right?"
"Of course!" Olette laughed and hugged the blond. "How about I let you meet everyone else tomorrow…including Sora and Roxas."
"I'd love that! Where are we going to go?" Naminé asked. Olette put her finger to her chin and thought for a couple minutes. Hayner spoke up.
"How about the beach?"
"Hayner that's a great idea!" Olette beamed. "Okay, tomorrow let's say noon." She said. Everyone nodded. "Good. I'll call you then." Olette waved and walked over to her house, the four others following her before splitting off to their designated homes.
Naminé walked into her new bare home with a smiled plastered onto her face. She actually felt 'accepted' here, especially after meeting Olette. And to think that is was purely by accident too.
"Nami, is that you?" Amanda called from the back deck.
"Yeah." She walked outside and noticed that her parents were sitting in lawn chairs sipping coffee out of Styrofoam cups. Naminé looked up at the sky and continued smiling at the sunset. Her father turned around and noticed her smile.
"Was the tour good?" He asked, dumbly. Naminé walked over and sat down on the deck.
"The tour was great! I made five new friends already! But that isn't the best part. The best part is that they are best friends with Sora and Roxas, you know, the twins who model for Starlight Pictures. They live right down the street in that huge house!"
"We know." Her father said, smirking at Naminé's reaction.
"I know you know! Why didn't you tell me that we are living so close to them?" She asked, twirling a piece of hair around her finger.
"Surprise." Amanda said flatly, drinking her coffee. Naminé glared at her mother. "Honestly honey, we really didn't think that it was that big of a deal. In fact, we thought you knew."
"Well I didn't!" She exclaimed, grabbing her father's coffee and taking a sip. "Where'd you get the coffee?"
"Oh there's this cute little coffee shop downtown." Amanda said. "Here, do you want the rest of mine?"
"Nah, but thanks anyway. I think I'm just going to go upstairs and draw."
"Okay hunny. We'll see you later." Jeremy called, watching her walk into the house. She walked up the stairs and into her new room. She grabbed her sketch book and sat down on the little sitting area by her window, looking up at the sunset.
"Beautiful."
Well, there's the first chapter. Tell me what you think, but please, don't be brutal! This story was originally going to be angsty and sad, but then I thought if I added those parts in, the story would go the way I have sort of planned it. So don't forget to REVIEW!
