Chapter 1: This Isn't the Start of Some Love Story!

The first three chapters have actually been redone compared to their original releases since I have decided to update this story with a new chapter. There have been some fixes in some wording and sentences, new dialog and descriptions, while some old material were deleted. And since it's been a long time since the last update, I thought it was appropriate to do so in case new readers find this. Plus, I think it's time I do away with the disclaimers.

Plot: In this self-aware fanfic, Kairi finds her life boring and dull when it's always the same routine. Not much has change during her high school days. However, that is soon about to change when her cousin—Aerith—returns to her hometown for a book signing with a secret of her own. From this point on, Kairi explores the deeper meanings of friendship, true love, and that her life is about to be written like a romance novel.

Genre: Romance/Parody

It is raining as rain drops from the cloudy gray skies hit Destiny Islands. Coming in for dramatic effect, roars of thunder are heard and flashes of lighting are seen over the islands. Kairi is sitting in her bedroom watching movies along with her blonde friend Namine, laying on the bed. The movie for tonight: She's All That. "Freddie Prinze Jr. is so handsome. Man, why can't they make teenage movies like this anymore?" Namine wonders.

"Because it's now labeled as a stereotype that the popular guy always gets the not-so-popular girl," Kairi bluntly answers, watching the movie with her.

"Who cares? It's such a classic story and modern teens love it; hence we are modern teens that love this stuff."

"You mean: hence you Namine. You know I don't like watching these kinds of movies because they never happen in real life. They are made for the poor girls who dream of getting the perfect guy. It's no wonder some die an old lady with a house full of cats. The same goes for romance novels."

"Harsh much?"

"It's called reality Namine. You read too much for your own good."

"Well sorry kay. I didn't know reading was such a villainous crime." Silence ensues until Namine broke a minute later. "Oh my god! I just remembered something! Did you know they're making another Descendants of Twilight? It's called Descendants of Twilight 3D: Dream Drop Distance! Weird title, but it'll do… if we have had a Nintendo 3DS."

"The 3DS isn't even out yet."

"You know what bugs me? The fanfics for the game right now," Namine whines.

"Why?"

"Because it's all the same now. Writers are now constantly writing DT sequels ever since Birth by Sleep and Coded came out. It's been done to death already cuz' I kind of miss a good old fashion high school. But those too are having cliché plots unless they have an interesting twist to it. Or is written well by the author."

"What's a turn off when you read into it?"

"Namely the cheesy titles or typical plots like: Shane has liked Krystal since they were little and plans to tell her feelings, but doesn't have the courage to do so." Kairi just laughs at her. "If it's a fanmade sequel, they usually have Shane and Ryan go off an adventure to defeat the darkness with Krystal left behind. A small nice twist to these clichés could make all the difference."

"Aren't you one yourself?"

"Yeah, but I have writer's block for Secret Agent Krystal, Vol. 2 because I don't know how to unfold some events. I'm still stuck on the second chapter!" Namine groans. "I'm halfway there and I don't want to keep my readers waiting. A reason why my grammar is sometimes bad because I don't have time for someone to proof read it. I just want to post the latest chapter to please my readers. Anyways, isn't your cousin coming in tomorrow?"

"Who? Aerith?" Namine nods. "Yes, I will ask for an autograph ok."

"No, you're coming with me to her book signing tomorrow after school. A Tale of Two Friends was amazing and not like most romance novels. You gotta admit it Kairi, you loved that book."

"Only because the girl doesn't get the guy that she grew up with since childhood. It is somewhat cliché, but it was written well and I was expecting her to get the guy. Really tragic." Kairi thought about what she said earlier. "Wow, I sound heartless about it, but it is sad cuz' I cried when he rejected her."

"Me too. It was a good build up and you would've thought he would accept her feelings." Namine makes a small sigh and crosses her arms. "Love… it makes you crazy. Didn't she say in an interview that it was based on true events?"

"I don't know. Ask her yourself."

"If it is, that guy is an asshole for rejecting her. If I find out who it is, I'll be a crazy fan and beat him up." The girls laugh at Namine's words and hear a knock at the door. "Come in."

Kairi's mom enters in and says, "Namine, your brother is here already to pick you up." The blonde groans of the news because she doesn't want to leave.

"Can she sleepover tonight mom? It's pouring hard outside."

"Now, you girls have school tomorrow and I can't tolerate that. Most of your relatives are already sleeping." Kairi rolls her eyes and falls back on her bed. "And it's getting late so you should go to bed already." Namine gets off the bed, grabs her things, and heads out the door.

"See ya at school Kairi."

"Later."

Namine walks down the stairs of Kairi's house and already sees her older brother Cloud inside it by the front door. He is partially wet from the rain and has an umbrella is his hand. "Did ya have to pick me up early? I was having a good time over here."

"You're always at Kairi's house Nami," Cloud replied. "I had to get you since it's pouring outside and you have school too."

"Uh, you sound like a dad, but that's why I love you." Namine pats her brother on the shoulder and gives thanks to Kairi's mom. She opens the door and leaves the house as Cloud opens up the umbrella with the rain hitting it hard. "Can I ask you something bro?" she asks while the two walks to the car.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Can you pick up me and Kairi up after school so we can go to her cousin's book signing? Kairi and I were only three years old when she left the islands for college so it'll be great to see her again after all these years."

"Yeah. I'll be happy to drop you girls off," he happily replied as he opens the car door for her.

Back inside of Kairi's house, she looks out her window to see Namine and her brother leave the neighborhood and looks at the TV. It is the graduation scene of the movie and she giggles when she sees the Freddie Prinze Jr. naked, but covered. "Man, I wish there was some excitement in my life." Then she hears a truck coming nearby and looks back outside her window. It is a large moving truck and a small van pulls into the driveway. "Heh, must be our new neighbors who probably has a son that will be new to our school. Exciting! Nothing new." She saw a family of three get out of the van, but it is hard to see them due to the water constantly falling down on her window. She yawns and says, "I better get some sleep", while going to it. "He'll most likely be in my classes anyways." She gets underneath her covers to get comfortable and closes her eyes to sleep.

The storm from last night recedes, leaving the islands wet and humid thanks to the open sky and sun. Kairi says goodbye to her mom and walks onto campus seeing the big sign that says: Destiny Islands High School. She is by herself and waits for Namine to come. A few minutes pass and she arrives soon enough. "Don't forget after school 'kay?" she told her brother as she got out.

"I won't." With that, he leaves the campus.

"Did you see a moving truck when you left last night," Kairi asks as the two walk on by.

"No why?"

"After you left, a truck pulled in with a family that seems to have a son… or daughter. Maybe that person is going to be a new student here."

"How can you tell?"

"Well, I'm guessing. I mean, I saw a teenager, but it was hard to see through my window because of the rain."

"Ooh, maybe you're finally gonna get that excitement you wanted. You've been complaining of wanting a change in your routine! Let's go to class to see if he's a potential love interest for you!" Namine says with enthusiasm, dragging her friend to their first period.

"School didn't even start yet! And what do you mean love interest?!" Kairi immediately thought it was ludicrous for her friend to even think such a thing. "This isn't the start of some love story!"

"Who cares? When you're new here, you always want to be early for school to get to know it and it's students." They enter into one of the buildings and immediately bump into someone on their way to the stairs, making all three to fall down. "Ow! That really hurt!"

"It's your fault." Namine's eyes then sparkles.

"Hey! Maybe the guy who bumped into us is the new student!" Namine gets up quickly, helping up Kairi as she fixes her hair and helps out the guy. "Sorry about that. We were in rush for… something. Are you new here?"

Kairi hits her friend's arm. "Namine!" She looks at the boy, but doesn't recognize him or has seen him around before. It took a while for her to notice that he isn't even looking at them, but he is facing them while holding the strap of his shoulder bag. And he had gravity-defying brown hair that had spikes pointing in every direction. "Sorry about the inconvenience. My friend here was in a rush to go to school.

"But the bell hasn't rung," he softly says.

"I know. That's what I told her. Again, sorry…" She waits for him to reply for a name.

"Sora. And no, I'm not new here." Kairi kind of felt hurt when he said that and stares at him for a little bit. She is about to reply, but Namine interrupts the situation.

"Sorry for wasting your time, but we have errands. Let's go Kairi." Namine pulls her up the stairs, but Kairi kept looking at the boy as the two went up the stairs, taking a right since it splits halfway. He kept on walking to the doors and she looks away when she reaches the second floor.

"I feel bad that I haven't seen him around," Kairi warily tells Namine as they walk down the halls.

"You shouldn't Kairi. He probably didn't notice you either."

"Thanks. I feel so much better now," she sarcastically says and worries when she sees Namine's eyes sparkle again.

"Unless… that guy we bumped into earlier is your love interest!" Kairi rolls her eyes.

"God, please let the bell ring. Please let it ring!" she prays softly to herself.

"Now what's this I hear about a love interest," a familiar voice sounds when a door opens from the teacher's office of the senior building.

"Mr. Fair!" Kairi shouts and runs to him. "Save me! Namine hasn't had her Starbucks fix." Her teacher laughs at her sentence.

"I can see that. Cloud's sis always needs one in the morning."

"He wouldn't take me there!" Namine shouts.

"And here we go. What has gotten into her now? Is it a new Twilight book or the DVD for the last Harry Potter movie? Whatever it is, keep me out of it because it sounds like she really needs some caffeine. So I'll come back with some coffee to help her." He goes back inside the office and Kairi caught a glimpse of another person she never saw, sitting in a chair near Mr. Fair's desk.

"Guess I was right about a new student being here." She wonders in her mind and ponders if she should tell Namine. She looks at her blonde friend who is happily smiling at her, looking all innocent. "She can wait."

As the minutes pass by, the bell finally rings and the buildings start to flood in with students going to their classrooms. Kairi and Namine's first class is English with Mr. Fair and people slowly start to come in with greetings of 'hello' and taking their seats. Every seat in the classroom faces the board where the teacher gives the lessons. At the corner of Kairi's eye, she sees her teacher bringing in somebody behind him. "Look Namine, there is your new student! Maybe he's your love interest!" she mocks.

"Haha, very funny. I would want to meet my Prince Charming in a better way."

"I see that you have return back to earth." Kairi looks back, but then sees Sora taking a seat in the class. She looks away with distress. "Oh my god! Namine," she whispers. "Don't look behind you, but—" Of course, Namine looks behind her and Kairi forces her to look at the board. "Sora is in our class! Now I feel like absolute crap." Namine takes a small peek.

"I can see why. He sits all the way in the back. Heh… now that I think about it, don't most protagonists in mangas and animes sit in the back by the window?" However, there was no window in behind the others that looks outside.

"Do you have to be thinking about that kind of stuff all the time?" Kairi asked her on her countless references to plot devices in some story. "

"And sometimes the protagonist by the window is shy and even a nobody." It seems that Namine didn't even pay attention to her auburn hair friend, but feels rather offensive at her comment.

"He is not a nobody just cuz he is shy."

"That's how it was with DT fanfics though. Naomi is a prime example. She's either a nobody, an artist, a shy girl, or all of the above. The same thing can be applied to Riley too, but with a few differences." Kairi takes a look at Sora behind her shoulder, seeing how they sit on opposite sides of the classroom. She sees him smile in her direction and looks away, blushing a little. She didn't know why she is blushing so suddenly, but brushes it off when the noise of the class is rising until Mr. Fair speaks up.

"Settle down guys and give our new student a welcome." Kairi looks upfront to see yet another boy with gravity defying hair, but blonde and spikier this time. "Now guys, this is Roxas. He is a transfer student from Twilight High School and he's a smart one seeing how he ranked number one in his class. Let's see if he can do that here when he has Olette as competition." Everyone greets him nicely. "Good, now please take a seat next to…" He scans the room for empty seat and sees one right in front of him. "Kairi."

"Didn't see that one coming," Kairi laughs, seeing Roxas take a seat next to her. "Hi, my name is Kairi and the blondie behind me is Namine. Nice to meet you," she happily greets. "So what do you think of this school so far?"

"Not sure yet. I just got here. Destiny Islands is not like those stereotype kind of schools right?"

Kairi is taken by surprise of the question. "W-what? No and why would you ask such a question."

"It's cuz at my old school, there was always those stereotypes that make high school a living hell. It would have the popular kids, the nerds, the nobodies, the band geeks, the theater geeks, the mean girls, the emo kids, the skater boys, the kids who don't give a crap, and the kids who want to be alone. I was labeled as a nerd because I was smart."

"Well I assure that this school is not like Twilight. Here at Destiny Islands, it is totally different. Namine and I will show you around."

"Oohh, I'm sure you would love that huh Kairi?" Namine whispers behind her, which Kairi quickly responds to by stomping on her foot firmly.

"Ow!" she screams and everyone looks at her. "Sorry… cramps. You know how girls are," she laughs nervously.

"You had it coming," Kairi informs her, giving her a sting eye.

Elsewhere, a silver car pulls into a parking lot of a shopping center and two women come out. Aerith takes a look at her hometown, noticing how different it is now than the time she left the islands. "Fifteen years have sure changed this place."

"You know, I always wanted to come to the islands, but never had a good reason to do so," her publicist, Tifa, says. She walks around the car to stand by her client. "It's a good thing I set this up as your last book signing. When was the last time you were here?"

"Back in '96 Tifa. Right when I graduated from high school," Aerith replies and sees her favorite bookstore, The Highwind, displaying her work. In exhilaration, she runs in her high heels to the window. "You even got my favorite bookstore to do the signing! Can I tell you how much I love having you as my publicist and close friend?"

"No. Then I would take too much credit," Tifa denies. "I'm kidding!" They both hug each other in high spirits. "I'm so happy to have met you as my roommate in college."

"Me too." The two happily go into the bookstore, which connects to Starbucks, and saw many people already inside. "I miss this place! I wonder if the owner is still here." The place she remembered from before had stacks of books lying around, but now, it is neatly organize and clean now with more workers. It also has a modern look to it now too with air conditioning.

"Owner?"

"Yeah, I knew him since I was little because my mom used to bring me here to work."

"If isn't Aerith!" a familiar voice shouts from behind. She sees Cid come up and grab her from behind. "The little girl who always could! Oh!" He felt a small back pain and puts Aerith down. "I'm getting too old for this," he groans. "I am proud of the success you have made in the past years since you was gone."

"Radiant City's best selling author and already a winner of the Pulitzer Prize for her creative writing skills! You sure have a lucky girl." Tifa keeps texting on her Blackberry and notices a person taking a sip at the water fountain. She watches in disgust as the person happily walks away.

"People here drink Clorox water? Can't they just buy bottle water because it's cleaner?"

"Oh Tifa, here in the islands, everything is freshwater," Aerith replies when Cid looks at her. "She's from the city that's why," she whispers to him. Then they see Tifa hogging the fountain. "Uh… Tifa?"

"My first time drinking from a fountain and it's fresh!"

It is now lunchtime at the high school. Kairi and Namine take their time to show Roxas around the place of where his classes are, even though they never move classes except for their electives. "And here we are at the cafeteria," Kairi says. "The eating ground for the student body, but me and Namine like to eat outside by the fountain."

"Fountain?" Roxas asks.

"It's right in the middle of the campus of the four main buildings," Kairi explains. "You see, each building contains the four classmen: seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. Also, the school has two lunches so the place isn't cramped up for a while."

"What lunch do we have now?"

"Lunch B cuz' we're seniors. Lunch A is for freshmen and sophomores while lunch B is for juniors and us. Plain and simple," Namine replies.

"Hello ladies," a seductive voice rises. The girls groan and turn to see none other than Riku, the cocky hotshot. ""I see that you have a new friend," he says, giving them a sly look.

"You try too hard old man," Kairi teases, referring to his silver hair. She turns away with her friends, walking off with them and continues by ignoring him. "Now let's get some food guys."

"It's a family gene!" Riku shouts behind.

"Yeah, a gene of assholes!" she shouts back. "Sorry about that. That was Riku, the guy every girl wants or the guy every guy wants to be. It's beyond ridiculous so I would say he is the hot bod here who will end up working as some poor taxi driver in the end. He never stops hitting on Namine or me."

"Apparently, we're the only girls he has never gone out yet in our class," Namine explains to their new friend. "Which is partially true. I mean, he even went for the fat girls just to feel better of himself and his hard six-pack abs."

"What an ass," Roxas says in disgust. "Let's stop talking about him." The girls express amusement and are fond of him already and go on to grab their food. While grabbing their food, Roxas mentions a local event. "I heard local celebrity Aerith Gainsborough is coming to town."

"Yeah," Kairi responds. "She's my cousin. In fact, the two of us are going to her book signing after school." Kairi puts mayonnaise on her sandwich and grabs a bottle of water. "Do you wanna come with?" she asks, showing her school ID to the cashier.

Roxas grabs a few pieces of fruit and says, "Sure. I'll come. What better way to know the place than from two locals." Namine and him repeat what Kairi did before and walk on out. "I never did get a chance to read her book, but I heard it was very moral."

"It is," Kairi replies as the three take a seat on the fountain. Kairi crosses her legs, Namine sits lays down, and Roxas casually sits. "Do you like to read books because Namine here is a bookworm. She loves to read. Emphasize on the word 'love' and I mean it."

"Ahm. I do like to read because I don't study." The two girls froze from eating. "What?"

"You don't study? How were you top of your class then?"

"Oh! I have photographic memory so I remember things easily."

"Oh my gosh! Can you tutor me? I'm practically failing math right now because our math teachers here suck at explaining it," Namine begs.

"Sure."

"Oh! Did you happen to move in last night?" Kairi asks, testing out her theory on the him being her new neighbor from last night's event.

Roxas puts a strawberry in his mouth and later says, "Yeah. Why?" Bingo. She is right after all.

"Because I am your new neighbor. Good to have you around because Namine lives a little far from me, so it'll be nice to have a friend who lives closer to me."

"Says you. You two live in like the rich residence."

"Just cuz' a house is big Namine doesn't mean we're rich. I have relatives living inside."

"E-excuse me, Kairi?" All of them turn their heads around to see Sora again. "You dropped your iPod this morning and I've been meaning to give it back to you." He hands it back to her gently next to her. "See ya around." With that, he walks away. Kairi kept on looking at him, feeling her heartache. "He seems lonely…" she thought. "I think he needs a friend."

"Huh?" Namine says, popping a french fry in her mouth.

"Hey!" Kairi shouts out to Sora, but he doesn't respond. "Sora!" He finally looks back at her in response. "Do you want to meet up after school?"

"Kairi, what are you doing?" Namine curiously asks.

"Quiet, before you'll get more than a stomp on the foot," her auburn hair friend threaten while she eyes the fountain and Namine knew exactly what she is thinking. She sees Sora has come back to get a clear message.

"Sorry, what did you say? I couldn't hear you with my headphones on."

"The three of us are going to a book signing after school and I was asking if you want to come."

"Sure," he happily accepts, smiling. "I'll see ya later then." He then walks away from them and by the time he's gone, Namine laughs.

"What?"

"Maybe he is your love interest of our little story," Namine uncontrollably laughs, seeing how it's been nothing, but a search of love interest for Kairi. She continues to laugh in amusement and Kairi's left eye twitches. Soon enough, she pushes her crazy friend into the fountain. "Hey!"

"I warned you and you got it," she bluntly put it and continues with her lunch.

School finishes and everyone starts to leave in cars, buses, or simply walking home. Namine managed to get new clothes after she was dropped into the fountain and Kairi does not regret it. Not one bit. "So Roxas, one thing you should know about me is to not mess with me. Got that?"

"Y-yeah…" he hesitantly says, recalling what happened at the fountain during lunchtime. "I will try not to. Speaking of which, where is this Sora guy?"

"O-over here." Sora suddenly appears out of nowhere, surprising the others.

"Whoa! Where did you come from?" Roxas asks.

"Yeah—hm?" Kairi stops and takes a step back, looking at the two. She pushes the boys together and stares at them. "It's so weird that I feel like I am in some weird universe." Sora and Roxas strangely look at each other and back at her. "You guys are not related right? No lost twin story or cousin maybe?" Namine come walks in on them and slows down noticing the awkward atmosphere.

"What's going on?" she slowly asks.

"Namine," Kairi takes Namine to her side and has her examine the two. "Don't they look alike? They have the hair, the eyes, and the looks yet different personalities."

"What is this? A DT fanfic where majority of writers have Shane and Riley paired up as twins or cousins? You mine as well put me and you as sisters," Namine points out. She closely examines and agrees with Kairi. "But you are right. They look do look alike, but that is not the case unless some unknown backstory shows up in the second or third act. Anyways, let's go now. My brother is here." The four of them walk to the car with Sora trailing behind the three.

"Hey, come on Sora," Kairi calmly says to him. "I don't want you to be falling behind now," she continues, grabbing his arm.

"W-what?" He is caught off guard from her action and slightly blushes from her touch, but pulls away from her. He never had a girl touch him before at all and this is new to him, especially making friends. He apologizes and sees Namine talking to an older blonde guy with spikes in a car.

"Namine, I thought it was just you and Kairi going," Cloud told her.

"Yeah, but we made new friends today and one of them is new so it would be really nice of you to drop all of us at the Highwind," she sweetly says and ends with smile. "Please big bro. It would be rude to deny such a request to a person I just met." Cloud groans, knowing he can't say 'no' to her.

"Fine, I raised you good enough to choose your friends," he gives in, unlocking the door.

"Yay!" she cheers and opens the door. "Ok, we are good to go you guys!"

Cloud pulls into an empty parking lot as the group arrives at the book signing and judging from the window, it is full with people. "Damn it! Now we have to stand in line like everyone else!" Namine complains while getting out of the car. "You think we can cut in line cuz' she's your cousin Kairi?"

"Be normal and wait like a normal person," Kairi informs her, getting out with the boys.

"But I'm not normal!"

"You're right. You're uncanny."

"Ok so I will pick—"

"Hold up! Aren't you coming in with us?" Namine rudely interrupts Cloud, going into dramatic effect. "It's gonna be like a family reunion almost having you here. Don't cha want to see your childhood friend after all these years? She's been gone for fifteen years and you're not gonna bother to say 'hi'? I am disappointed in you Cloud Anthony Strife."

"Now you're being too dramatic," he tells her seeing how she said his full name.

"Is it working?" she asks, returning back to her normal tone and Cloud shakes his head. "Fine, but if I end up on the news that I was kidnapped by a group of robbers or maybe a rapist, it's gonna be your fault that you couldn't protect me." Sora and Roxas are astonished of the situation and expect Kairi to answer when the two stare at her.

"She likes to… guilt trip her brother… a lot," she answers without looking at the boys as she watches the two siblings. Cloud turns off the car and gets out of it. "And it always works because Cloud is very protective of her. All she has to say is 'if end up on the news' and then a vivid story added in."

"Where are their parents?" Roxas wonders.

"They're always on some business trip so the two barely get to see them," Kairi replies as Namine and Cloud come to them. "Ok, let us go inside because I want to see my cousin's reaction when she sees me." When they walk in, they hear Aerith talking about the book.

"As I said before, this book was based on a true story. I changed the names and settings to keep it anonymous to my fellow readers. I never did expect it to be a hit so it was a pretty big surprise when my publicist and friend Tifa here," she says, pointing to her, and continues. "Called me about it. So pick up your copy in case you haven't read it."

"Guess I'll be buying it then," Roxas says, grabbing one from a stack and heading for the cashier.

"Are there any questions you guys have for me before we can get to the signing?" Aerith asks and a few people raise their hands. She picks a random woman.

"What do you hope to gain when readers finish your book?" she asks.

"I want to tell them that not everything is a fairytale and that you have to handle rejection in a mature way instead of mourning the lost," Aerith simply answers and picks another person.

"Do you plan on making a sequel?" a teenager asks and judging from her star struck face, she seems to want it.

"No because that would defeat the meaning I was trying to make earlier. However, I do have plans to make another book, but I have writer's block. It is one of the reasons why I've come back to my hometown. Okay, one more question and that is you." She looks at the desperate crowd and picks some random guy. "You."

"Is it possible that this story is based around an event that happened in your life?" he asks. Aerith opens her mouth, but stops when she sees a certain blonde guy with spikes in the same room as her. She has a small heartache, but ignores it when things come back to her. She couldn't keep her eyes off him that the guy who asked her the question kept calling her name. "I-I'm sorry what?" Tifa knew she is feeling odd so she decides to end it.

"That will be all, so I suggest we get back to the book signing," she says.

What lights up Aerith's day is when she sees her own cousin appear. "Kairi!"

"She remembers me," Kairi gladly says and laughs, running to her cousin. "Oh it is so great to see you again." Namine clears her throat to get attention. "And Aerith, you remember Namine right? She is now your biggest fan." Aerith giggles and hugs her too.

"Wow, it is so great to see you two all grown up." The brunette then notices a boy behind them. "And who is this? One of your boyfriends," she says, slyly eyeing at Kairi.

"No ma'am," Sora answers.

"That's ok. Girls can have guy friends too," her cousin replies.

"And hey, you remember Cloud right?" Namine asks, bringing him in by the arm.

"Namine!" he whispers to her, tugging her arm.

"Cloud!" his sister mocks, doing the same thing as her brother.

Aerith stares at him with a distressful look on her face, but brushes it off. "Hey look, I have many waiting for me, so I'll get back to you guys later."

"Oh, I totally understand because I'm one of those people," Namine laughs. "Now go to them as I wait in line with my copy."

"Ok." Aerith walks to the table she will do her book signing and takes a look back, gazing at Cloud and turns back. "I can't believe he's here," she sadly thought. She shakes off her dreadful feeling and takes a seat and gets out a pen to sign for the first person in line.

"That was odd. It was almost like she couldn't take her eyes off you," Namine tells her brother.

"R-really?" he nervously says, scratching the back of his head. "I didn't notice." This raises the teenagers' eyebrows of the situation, but can't make out of what it means. "This is not good at all," Cloud thought. For now, the three teens will disregard it and focus on what is happening now.

"So what I miss?" Roxas at last appears not in on the situation.

"Not much, but we got subtle hints of a backstory that we should uncover in the later chapters of our lives," Kairi smirks. "And I'm dying to find out of what that is." She eyes at her cousin and then at Cloud. "The four of us will need a plan."

Again, the point of this story is to poke fun at KH fanfics. This story is not an insult to fanfic writers out there because everyone has there own style, ways, and ideas to write a story of their favorite characters. I respect that because that is what fanfiction is about. And in case some haven't notice, there were various metaphors used throughout the story. The most obvious should have been Descendants of Twilight. It is the Kingdom Hearts in their world and you guys will catch on. I'm going to address other KH fanfic trends in future chapters.

Lastly, I can't guarantee that this story will get updated frequently. I haven't been into writing for quite a while, but this story was on my mind. And strangely, I couldn't find the first chapter of this chapter anywhere on my computer, so I simply copied and paste from the site to redo the chapter.
