Hi there. Well, technically, this is my first attempt at a full story, let alone my first Kingdom Hearts one as well, as I never continued my other one because I wasn't too inspired to do so. However, this one I'm really excited as I truly want to finish it. It's was an idea that popped up into my head when I was listening to 'A Little Fall of Rain' from Act II of this show and it just wouldn't get out of my head. Each chapter title is a song from the show and is the inspiration of each chapter, though it wont nessecarily line up at times, just a head's up for those familiar with the show .. So! Let's see where this goes shall we?

The Miserables

I can't believe this had all happened. Looking back, I crack a smile to see that it all started with a sign. A small, insignificant sign that would change my world and bring about a new one that I would have never dreamed of. That sign……that sign…..

"That sign! Look!" I exclaimed as I pointed to small sign that was posted next to the theater. Though small, I quickly picked out the words 'auditions', 'famed', and 'Les Miserables' as my eyes quickly scanned the paper. " I'm so excited! Aren't you too So-" I had stopped mid-sentence as I then realized that my best friend was no longer behind me." Sora?" Glancing around, I soon found that he wasn't even in a 20 foot radius of me.

Stupid Sora, leaving me like always.." I muttered with a sigh, and tucked a strand of blonde hair behind my ear, looking back at the paper. I had had the chance before to try out for this show, in the beginning of my acting career, but never went because of something important I had to do. It was for the best though, as I wouldn't be friends with Sora now and I would still be enslaved. Now I'm free and the promise that I made that day changed my life. But, that is past. I placed a hand on the sign, and closed my eyes. A chill went through my body. There was something that had drawn me to this play. The story of Valjean and his struggles, and the others who he encounters. It was so vibrant and full, I quickly learned to love it. And of course, I kicked myself for passing up the chance to be in it, but it was ok now. The chance returned, and I was not going to let it go now.

Turning on my heel, I walked in to the familiar building that was the theater, but I did not get too far. Opening my eyes, I found a brown mass of hair in my face that moved until a pair of sapphire eyes emerged. Grunting, I pushed the body off of me without second thought.

"Hey Namine! That hurt!" Sora said while he sat up rubbing his head. I gave him a look and he smiled at me, knowing it was his own fault for running into me. He stood up and I took the hand he offered, which was when I saw the white papers in his other hand. Curious, I snatched them out of his hand and saw that they were blank audition forms for Les Miserables.

I raised an eyebrow, "Since when do you have an interest in Les Mis?" I asked jokingly as I handed him back his papers.

"Since when do you not mention it everyday or sing from it, and not have a choice in hearing it or not?" He replied. I was half tempted to smack him upside the head, but I held back and just smiled.

"So that means you got me one, right?" I grabbed the paper that he held out and gently folded it and placed it in my purse. We began to walk outside, continuing on the way to lunch that we had been planning to go to before my minor freak out.

As we approached the restaurant, it began to rain. I hated rain. It was wet and messed up gardens and I just didn't like it. I just didn't. Sora knew that and soon pulled me closer to him.

" Don't Worry 'amine, a little fall of rain wont hurt you. Just stay close to me" He whispered. I was lucky that we walked into the restaurant so Sora pulled away as the blush fully covered my face.

Oh, if I could only tell him.

The next few weeks had been hectic. With the auditions and all, I don't really remember having much time to relax in that time period. But I had Sora by my side, so I was ok. We both supported each other and prevailed. Sora had been cast as Marius, the young boy who falls in love with Cosette, the child who the main characterm Valjean, cares for after her mother's death. I was cast as Fantine, Cosette's mother, which I was happy for it allowed me to sing one of my favorite songs, 'I dreamed a dream"…and also the understudy for Eponine, the girl who is close with Marius and pines after him, but accidently introduces to Cosette. Of course, I would have preferred to been the Cosette to Sora's Marius instead of his Eponine, but I was still happy….though how long it would last…..

" I dreamed a dream in time gone by…."

"Practicing already 'amine?" Sora asked as he walked up to my side. It was our first rehersal, simply just a meeting to get to know everyone, find out who's who, and get our scripts. I was excited to meet the other people since when I saw the list, Sora was the only person I knew( Or so I had thought..) I was happy to deal with new people instead of the regulars I dealt with doing the other local theater. This on my mind, the smile that was already there when Sora came over grew wider.

"Of course! You never can practice too much, you should know that miser ex-struggle champion" I quipped as nudged him with my shoulder. After quitting struggle, Sora had found that he had a talent for acting as well. He had starred opposite of me in few roles at our former local theater. This was first show that we both would do outside of our home, Destiny Islands. Now, we shared an apartment in downtown Twilight and were both looking to expand our acting career. Of course….our careers weren't the only thing I wanted to expand.

We walked into the room that had chairs set up in a large circle that had one script on each chair with the name of a character taped on the chair. I went the mine while Sora walked to his, that was directly across from me. I watched as people began to trickle into the room, a blonde haired boy, a girl with brown hair, another girl with red hair, and boy with strange silver hair. My eyes began to follow him.

There was only one person in my life that I knew who had ever had silver hair, and I hadn't seen him since I was young. I was about to get up and ask Sora about him, but saw that he was shaking hands with the girl with red hair who'd walked in. She sat next to him and they began to talk. I shook my head. There was no way that he could be the same person. I looked around the room and didn't even see the boy anymore. He had disappeared into the thin air. I smiled, amused at my imagination.

"Excuse me….Miss Fantine?..or should I say Miss Namine Hikaru?"

I jumped at the sound of the voice that said my name. Turning to my side, I was met with a pair of bright aqua eyes. My vision expanded to include the familiar face and silver face. I could feel the color drain out of my face and my eyes grow a little wider. Did I even dare to say his name? Apparently, my mind believed so as the next words out of my mouth were just that. His name.

"…..Riku?"

Yeah, so since this is the first chapter, it's kinda weird as it's all backstory and such. Anyway! Let me know what you think and if you have a favorite song from Les Mis too! It's always interesting to hear other people's opinion's of different shows.

Please review! Any type of comments welcome!
