Hi, thanks for reading my fanfiction! This is a Kingdom Hearts fanfic with my OC as the main character! This story will probably be shorter than the one I plan on making for Kingdom Hearts 1 as this one follows the Birth by Sleep timeline. Akari is four years old, Sora is four years old, and Riku is five years old, the same age they are in BBS.

Akari watched from afar as the same two boys went with their dads on canoes and paddled from the island to the shore. Night was falling and they were returning from another adventure on the island off the coast of their town. A small frown was on her face and she was gripping her arms tightly as she saw their smiles.

There was no one in this town. At least, no one who cared about her. Her parents were always too busy to bother with their four-year-old daughter, and because the town was so small, she was basically allowed to wander anywhere by herself.

For one moment, her small foot stepped forward, just as the boys stepped out of the canoes. Yet the small girl took a step back and shook her head, small tears coming out of her eyes as she ran back home. There was no point in watching them. They would never notice her. And she could hardly talk to anybody, too shy to even say hello.

"I'm all alone here…" She murmured quietly as she curled up on her bed. Her eyes landed on the window in her room and she sat up.

"I wonder what it'd be like...to see the world." Her voice was trembling as she said the words, but she meant them with all her heart.

This place was too small, to empty. Suddenly, a bright light flew down, falling from the sky. Her eyes widened and she pressed herself against the window.

"What's that!" She ran down the stairs, bursting right through the door. Hundreds of bright lights began shooting down, raining across the sky. A smile broke across her face.

"A meteor shower!" She exclaimed. Akari ran down the steps and sprinted down the sandstone path. She flew down the last flight of stairs and jumped onto the beach, her shoes sinking into the golden sand. The ocean was moving gently, and Akari walked to it, stepping her small feet into the cool water. She sighed and sat down, getting the ends of her dress a little wet. Her small head gazed up at the stars, longingly.

Akari, whenever you see a shooting star, remember to make a wish!

Her mom's words rang in her head and Akari cupped her hands together and closed her eyes.

"I wish, to find friends and go on an adventure." She whispered quietly. As she made her wish, Akari felt eyes on her. She turned around.

There, on the steps, were the two boys who had just come back from the island. The taller one had bluish silver hair and his eyes were seafoam green. He wore a yellow turtleneck rimmed with blue and blue shorts. His shorter friend had brown hair and deep blue eyes. He wore a white shirt and red shorts and a grin was on his face.

"Hi!" The brunette said cheerfully.

"Hi…" Akari answered shyly.

"So you came out here to see the meteor shower too?" Akari nodded and the boy smiled again.

"Cool!" He ran over and sat down next to her.

"I'm Sora!" The small girl smiled.

"I'm Akari!" Sora turned to his friend and called to him.

"Hey! Riku! Come on!" The boy, Riku, shook his head, but smiled and walked over. He sat down next to Sora and looked up at the stars. Akari watched, intrigued as the two boys also made wishes. Sora opened one of his eyes, which had been closed for his wish-making, and asked,

"What'd you wish for Akari?" Akari was slightly taken aback but she shrugged.

"I wished for an adventure...and...friends!" Sora laughed.

"Well, you got that wish!" Riku looked at her.

"You want an adventure?" He asked curiously. Akari nodded and turned her head out to sea.

"Yeah! This place is so small! I want to see the outside world!" Riku grinned and offered a hand.

"I'm Riku!"

"I'm Akari!" And as she took his hand, she felt friendship.

"Hey! Akari! You should come to the island with us!" Sora exclaimed excitedly. Akari turned to Riku curiously and Sora also focused his question on Riku.

"Wouldn't that be a good idea, Riku?" The green-eyed boy thought about it for a moment in a teasing manner.

"Yeah, I think that'd be fun!" He stared at Akari expectantly and she nodded.

"Yeah, that'd be awesome!" A bright smile bloomed on her face and Riku put his hand in the middle.

"Then we'll meet up again tomorrow." Sora put his hand in the middle.

"Yeah!" They both looked at Akari and she grinned.

"Sure!" she lay back down and they followed suit, Sora tucking his hands under his head, looking up at the stars. As the stars fell, Akari smiled. Her wish had been granted, she had friends! And they were gonna take her to the island. Yet the young girl had no idea, that the wish she made, would shape her life. For better or for worse, the one thing for sure was that an adventure awaited her.

Somewhere, very distantly, three more kids sat, a woman with hair the color of the deep sea, a man with hair brown as the earth, and a small boy, with hair like the sun. They looked up at the stars, smiling. As time passed, and they began leaving, the woman stopped and cupped her blue star-shaped lucky charm. She raised it to the sky, the stars, and whispered her wish.

"Together...always..."

Yet that would be the last night they ever spent under the same stars.
