I can't believe we're moving here, Riku thought, staring out the car window as trees passed by. He looked over to see his bother, Sephiroth, doing the same thing. He groaned, catching his mother's attention from the front seat.

"Whatever is the matter, Riku?" She asked, looking back. Sephiroth turned his attention to his little brother, watching him with amusement.

"Why are we moving to Alaska again?"

"You know why. Your father was offered a job at Cronoco Philips." She said in a sweet tone. Riku sighed and looked back out the window, looking at a sign that said Welcome to Kenai.

They turned down a road named Forest road. They passed several Aves and drove into a place called Woodland. All the houses were huge, except for a few. They finally stopped when they reached a two story house on 5th Ave. It looked decent.

Looking at the house across the street from him, Riku saw a three story white house. There was a fence around it and a trampoline in the yard. Must have kids, great.

There were two cars in the driveway and a motorcycle. One car was a deep blue mustang and the other was a red barracuda. How many people live here?

He turned his attention to next door, where the Jackmens were going to live. Luckily Cloud and Roxas and their parents decided to move with us.

He walked inside and went up stairs. Riku went from room to room, looking for which one was the biggest and which had the best view. He finally decided upon a room that gave a clear view of the house across the street from him.

"Now that I think about. It looks like nobody's home." Riku mused. He was suddenly interrupted from his thoughts as a large van pulled up the driveway of the other house and kids upon kids piled out of the van. There were a few teenagers, but not much.

But what really caught his eye was a teenage boy with chocolate brown hair. His eyes were a deep blue that reminded Riku of the ocean and he had a light tan. When Riku looked down at the boy's clothes, he saw that he was wearing a white T-shirt and tan shorts that stopped at his knees.

When Riku looked lower, he saw that the brunette had one metal leg and a few mechanical fingers. Said brunette laughed as another boy jumped on him from behind.

The boy had short, white hair, gray eyes with a tattoo across them, reminding Riku of a raccoon, and pail whit skin. He was wearing a black muscle shirt and white jeans. And when Riku looked hard enough, he saw that the white haired boy had several earrings, a lip ring and nose ring.

Both were cute, well the brunette was cute and the other was hot. He watched them with fascination as they went into house, followed by the other kids. The door closed only to be reopened by a blond girl.

The girl had short, blond hair that barely reached her shoulders, turquoise eyes, and very light skin. She was wearing a black turtle neck and jean caprees (sp?). Riku watched as she walked up to his parents and started to talk with. His mother nodded and spoke, while his father just listened to their conversation.

They laughed and enjoyed themselves when a fiery red head ran from the building to the girl and brought her back to the house. He sighed, thinking about the brunette, and looked away from the window. But froze when he did.

All his stuff were already in his room without him knowing it. He really must have been day dreaming. Oh well.

"Riku! Time for dinner!" Riku's mother yelled from the kitchen.

"Coming!" He fixed his hair and went down the steps and landed at the bottom with a jump. "So what's for dinner?" His mother place several plates on the table with steaming hot food and looked up.

"Oh, that nice girl over there made us some food. She also made some dessert. She said that the meal we are about to have is some sort of kajen (sp?) with halibut in it." Riku grimaced at the word halibut. "Now Riku, I know you don't like fish but she said you couldn't even taste the fish."

Riku sat down, looking at his food with Sephiroth looking at him in amusement. Riku took a bite of the red stuff on rice and was surprised of the spicy and delicious flavor.

"That's good." Riku's mother sighed in enjoyment of the food.

"I have never tasted anything like this before." His father mused, looking at his plate in surprise.

"It's delicious." Sephiroth said, looking a little surprised. Riku nodded in agreement and continued eating. When dinner was done, they started for dessert. It seemed like the little blonde had made them rhubarb cobbler, and it was good.

"I have to thank her tomorrow for the food. It's so good." Helen, Riku's mother, said, cleaning up the dishes. Riku helped.

"So what's her name?" He asked, drying the dishes and his mother washed them.

"Her name is Katherine. She's seventeen years old and owns that little orphanage over there with her two younger brothers. She's also a teacher for music at the school and a teacher for dance at Vergene's Dance studio." Helen explained. "She teaches a couple of the boys she takes care of and teaches them how to sing and play an instrument."

Riku looked wide at his mom. "So she's a genius?" His mother nodded and Riku whistled. "But that house looks way to clean."

"It's because she says she's a clean freak. And a couple of the teenagers there help keep it clean."

"Doesn't she seem a little young to do that kind of thing? I mean all that stuff you said before."

"She told me that the government approve of how well put she is and that if anything happens she could arrest them. 'Cause she is a cop herself. Well sort of one."

"Wow, she must be tired by the end of the day. So how many teenagers live there?"

"About… six."

"And how many young ones?"

"I think ten."

"So she has to take care of sixteen kids?"

"Yep."

"Wow." Riku whistled, whipping his hands on the dish towel. "Well I'm heading for bed. Wake me up when Roxas and Cloud are here."

Helen kissed Riku's forehead goodnight and went upstairs to take a shower while Riku went to his room to sleep.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Riku was rudely awakened when someone literally kicked him off the bed. He woke with a start and looked at the imposter with a glare.

"Damn it, Roxas! You didn't have to kick me out of bed." Riku said, getting up and fixing his messy hair. Roxas grinned and shrugged.

"Yeah, but kicking you is so much fun." Riku gave another glare before pushing the blonde out of his room, slamming it shut. He got out of his boxers and put on a green tank top that brought out his eyes and black jeans. Stepping out of his room, he saw that Roxas was still waiting for him.

"You ready to help?" The blond asked, pushing off the wall. Riku nodded and head for outside. "Our new next door neighbors are helping us and some of them seem really cute or hot." Riku looked at him, surprised his friend would talk that way.

"What? I can't help it if starting to turn out gay like you."

Riku scoffed and went to help his brother and his friend Cloud lift stuff into the house. But on the way he ran into the brunette he saw yesterday.

"Sorry." The boy said sheepishly, blushing when he looked at Riku. Riku smiled and held out his hand.

"Riku. And it's ok, I wasn't looking either." The boy took it and smiled back.

"Sora. And I'm still sorry." Sora let go of his hand and dug his hands into his pockets. "I'm guessing you've never been to Alaska before, have you?" Riku nodded and placed his hands behind his back.

"What gave it away?" Sora shrugged.

"You have vibes coming off of you." Riku laughed, making Sora pout. "What? You do."

"So you could feel different vibes from other people?" Sora frowned. "What? It was a joke. I didn't mean to embarrass you." Sora still frowned, but it loosened up a bit. "Look, maybe later today you could show me around with your buddies and with mine."

Sora finally gave up the frown and smiled a toothy smile. "Sure. I like that. And just to tell ya, never walk around Woodland by yourself. You'll get lost." Riku raised an eyebrow. "I'm serious! This place is like a maze!"

Riku chuckled and gave Sora's forehead a slight flick. "Don't worry shorty, I'm not going anywhere by myself yet." Sora grinned and went to help the others.

"I think I might actually like it here."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Well, here's the first chapter. And I came up with the idea of having the events take place in Kenai, Alaska, because that's where I'm from. Yay! And it's not a frozen waste land!
