I'm new to the art of uploading stories on here I've written, so bear with me. I started this long ago, and did base the main character off myself. I swear only slightly, and only in somewhat humorous ways. This is how I played the games, in this bedroom, and have a necklace like the one described later on. Have always loved Sora, but am a little less obsessed now. Guess that's all my inspiration for this. So now you know. Just wanted to finally share my little fanfic. Feedback would be appreciated. Suppose that's all for now.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Bria and the "skills of writing".
"So what are you up to after school today?"
"Going home..."
"To do what?"
"I don't know..."
"Yeah right. I know you better than that Ms. Bria."
"So then why do you always ask?"
I had her stumped there. I continued through the halls with the one of the many friends that enjoys harrassing me about this, Alexa. I quickly avoided any silence.
"It's not my fault I'm a nerd with no life. You guys never want to do anything outside of school. It's not my fault you all suck."
"It's not our fault you're anti-social."
I stuck my tongue out as menacingly as I could, which didn't turn out so well.
"I'll see you after class."
I headed into study hall, where for the first ten minutes, I would finish math and French homework. The remaining forty minutes would be divided into staring off and daydreaming, doodling, writing notes, or writing stories. Today was mostly about daydreaming. I think things through way to thoroughly. My life is boring, uninteresting, the town and people are dull, yet somehow full of unnecessary drama... yes it pretty much never makes sense. I have to do something to make things interesting for myself. That's where dissecting the simplest of conversations or events, comes in. Or, making up a world to escape to. Or finding one someone else made up. That's where we come to what my dear friend was talking about. Kingdom Hearts. The most creative, badass, and only, Disney gone Final Fantasy, game ever. I'd had it for years, the sequel out and such, and was only now, extremely close to beating it. I know I'm pathetic, but I had some issues with... life... And that damn ugly Chernabog just made me give up, causing me to replay other parts constantly. So, four-day weekend, what do I try to do?

"Good BYE!" I rolled my eyes at Alexa, walking away from my locker. Time to escape reality in the only way I know how.
My room has no real windows to the outdoors, being in the middle of the house. Weird, I know, right? But it's the perfect place for movie watching and video gaming. Plus, I could hear the rain and thunder just above: the cherry on top of a perfect setting. I had gotten out of the shower, put comfortable PJs on, and was now ready for action. With a final brush of my damp hair, flick of the lights, pressing of the TVs power button, flipping the switch of my PS2, and shove of the CD drawer, the transition out of my stupid reality... was... complete... yes, I do enjoy being overdramatic at times.
Soon enough, I was watching the final scene, nearly crying as Riku and Mickey were locked away, as well as ready to attack the screen because Kairi's safe instead. Nobody likes her. I mean, honestly... And there we had it, the end of a truly awesome story. That is until I get the second one in my hands. I'm obsessed. So sue me.
I kind of just sat on my bed for a minute, staring at the TV, with a deep sigh. I turned off the TV, and leaned to click my PS2 off. Bad idea as it turns out. A shock wove through my arm and I squealed thinking, 'Great, now I'm going to have brain damage or something.' Perhaps the storm didn't want the game to end either. I couldn't leave the thing on, though, right? Tentatively reaching again, I didn't have to make contact the second time around. The thing lit up in sparks, and then... darkness. Complete... and total... darkness. I felt movement around me, causing flashbacks of every encounter I've ever had with creepy crawly bugs. But in time there's a bit of light. Beneath me. It grows until I find myself to be standing on a circular floor surrounded by darkness other than that. The floor, however, is illuminated, and seemingly glass. Why did this look so oddly familiar? No freaking way... Kingdom Hearts?
"What the bloody hell? I DO have brain damage!" I obliviously shout aloud.
And about that movement around me... Yeah, little black Heartless. Lucky for me, there are two twin blades in my hands. Talk about random. So, I do the most logical thing, and hack away at those little buggers. Quicker than I remember the game ever being, I finish the last of them, see a door, and then all fades to black. When I regain senses after who knows how long, I know I'm lying down. Lying down, in sand that is. Feeling the sun through the back of my eyelids, I don't have to question where I am. Breathing, or perhaps slowly suffocating from anxiety, I sit upright and open my eyes slowly.
Oh damn...
This SO can't be Destiny Islands.
BLOODY BRAIN DAMAGE!
It was the weirdest feeling. My senses were the same. I could feel the sand, smell the ocean, hear seagulls, and probably taste the water, which I wasn't going to do... But everything looked so... animated, obviously, and it was so vivid, my senses enhanced. I had perfect vision for the first time in my life, and my body certainly felt, well, weird. It was like, the skin felt the same, but it was shaped differently. Bones, if there were any real ones, structured a perfect body, and skin so flawlessly smooth and clear. I could totally dig that. Still, I was slightly in shock, and to clear my head I examined what I was wearing. It fit my tastes: black sandals, Capri's a similar shade with chains hanging from the hips, and a white tube top. Simple but awesome.
With that, I stood up, surveying the island just as I knew it would be. I wanted to go into the water just to experience it, or maybe wake up, but I knew to wait. Because, well, who of course might I happen to meet here? Sora, duh. And THAT would be sweet. No, I DON'T have a crush on a cartoon character... fine. So sue me if I do. But I'M one too now so it doesn't really matter. For a 14 year old, I'm pretty mature. But you don't believe that after those last two sentences do you?
I sat down again, looking around pleasantly, though a little concerned still, of course.
"Sora you lazy bum..."
The voice caught my attention quickly, and I nearly broke my neck snapping it to turn and look. Not very far away, Sora is freaking out as Kairi leans over him, waking him up. Bloody hell did I want to go punch that girl out. But the conversation, I knew it. It was exactly as the game. I was playing the game from the start. But I wasn't playing I mean, technically... oh jeez...
So I slowly headed over there, just as I saw Riku coming closer with a log. I'd have to warn Sora not to stay sitting down or be crushed.
Just a few feet away from them, I kind of just froze there. Riku was ready to say something to the pair, but then all three noticed me. That was awkward.
"Mmmm. Hi..." I kind of mumbled. Kairi had that stupid little calm/confused/worried look on her face, Sora totally shocked, and Riku composed but obviously curious.
"I'll save you the trouble by saying, I don't know how I got here. And, my name's Bria."
Another bit of silence, me biting my lip, the three of them trying to think of what to say, and then Sora smiles brightly.
"I'm Sora. This is Kairi and Riku... And..." he stopped as though he forgot what he was planning on saying next. Psh. As if I didn't know who they were. But I couldn't really tell them this was a video game. And I didn't really want to. I wanted to be a part of the game.
"You don't seem really confused or scared about the fact that you're probably in a different world."
Ah yes, they knew about other worlds because of Kairi. But could the REAL world, one that created them, actually count as another world to them?
"Oh believe me, I'm pretty confused, but I got over the scared about ten minutes back. Took some time to actually click, but I like the place. Annnd you all seem friendly enough." I tried to act as "normal" as I could. This was, after all, only the result of brain damage. I was suddenly a good liar. I knew Kairi was a stuck up... I'll stop, and Riku would be possessed and want to kill us all any minute. But I wasn't going to tell them that, of course. So yeah, just pretend they seem friendly...
"Sure..." Riku tried to smile through his confusion. That's a twist in the game. That kid never smiles. Didn't I suddenly feel special.
"Well, um, we're actually building a raft. We want to see other worlds. Maybe we could find yours. Like Kairi's." She giggled at his words. Prissy little... I smiled back sweetly, but inside was caged rage.
"Sounds fun."
"How about I show Bria around, while gathering supplies?" Sora jumped in. I, was instantly excited at the thought of hanging around with him.
"Sounds like a plan". Riku turned immediately after that without another word, and Kairi followed with a small wave. Good thing they're not the integrating type. We turned to each other, a kind of awkward silence, so I pitched in,
"Water and coconuts first?"
Realizing that I probably shouldn't have said that, I tried to brush it off, running towards the waterfall where I got a better look at my hair. It was technically like normal, but not at all. Still just above my shoulders, it had better layering and a wispy look than in reality. The sun made the blonde streaks a tad more noticeable against the brown. And my eyes were the same bright mix of blue green, but I will admit a hell of a lot prettier with the amazing, uh, graphics.
And so Sora had caught up, and I didn't know what to say. How would I so simply know the list of supplies? He didn't question as I kicked and climbed the nearby tree. Getting enough ripe coconuts, and Sora having gotten water, I couldn't stop myself.
"Bet I can catch the fish before you."
It was kind of fun to see him confused. Is that so wrong?
So... there you go. Not interesting enough? Stick around. Or don't. Be a meanie.
