Roxas groaned on the ground. He had a horrible headache. He tried to remember what happened, but his memory was blank. In fact, he remembered nothing about what happened before this moment. Confused, he sat up, and found himself in a dim forest sitting next to a blond girl his own age, who wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. She too looked confused, but she smiled at him in a friendly way, and said cheerily, "Hi, I'm Naminé. What's your name?"
"Um, Roxas," he replied awkwardly, still baffled.
"Nice to meetcha, Roxas. Now, where the hell are we?"
Now, starting to perk up, he answered, "Beats me. But I hear some noise coming from that hole in the wall. Let's take a look."
Upon entering the opening in the wall, they found their selves in a bustling, yet peaceful town. Roxas looked up at a poster on a nearby building. "'Twilight Town's Struggle Battle'…I guess we're in Twilight Town, then."
A loud 'BEEP' emitted from a trolley, who's tracks the two teens had been standing on. They quickly leaped back.
"Oh my God!" Roxas yelled. Naminé breathed heavily, clutching her chest. Suddenly, she removed her hand. Even after the train had passed, she just stood there, in shock.
"I don't feel so good…" she said, turning pale. "I think I need to lie down."
"O-okay, no problem." Roxas looked at her for a moment in curiosity and worry, but quickly got her to a bench. "That's enough to scare anyone out of their wits." However, to himself, he thought, 'Something else is wrong…' "Hey, Naminé, is there something you want to tell me?"
She looked up at him in fear. "Put your hand on your heart," she whispered, still wide-eyed. He obeyed, only to pull away.
"What the…"
"Something happened to us. Something's wrong…" the girl sat silent, staring at her feet. Then, she looked at Roxas. "Let's get back to the forest."
He nodded wordlessly. They had only met each other moments before, but at that instant, they realized that were the only other person in the whole world that they had.
"What are we?" Roxas asked Naminé.
"I…don't know." She was sitting up, holding her legs to her chest. They were sitting underneath a shady tree, trying to figure out what was going on. They had no munny, no home, no memories, and…
"How can we be alive? How can this be possible? We don't have…don't have…" He couldn't bring himself to say it.
"We don't have hearts," she finished for him, staring up at the sky. It was a rich blue, with a few wispy clouds like cotton balls floating through the air. She saw a bird land on a branch in the tree above them, in the tree that they were under.
"Where are we going to stay? How are we going to survive?" Roxas cried. "Are we even alive? Are we dead?" He glanced over to her, but saw that she was looking above them. The bird was singing. No, not crying, not chirping, not cawing, but singing, singing a song of joy, singing a song that showed it was in the moment, happy to be alive. He stared at it, transfixed by it as Naminé was.
"Alive," Naminé whispered. "We're definitely alive." The bird flew to the next tree, still singing. She got up and followed it, not sure what else to do. She followed it to the back of the forest, until they came to a fence. There was a giant, abandoned mansion, just standing there. The bird hopped down to the fence, stared her in the eye, and, with a satisfied coo, flew off. Roxas finally caught up with Naminé. "Roxas," she said softly, "We're home."
A/N: And that's the first chapter. I will continue, I'm just still writing. I just wanted to put this up. This is my first fic, so NO FLAMES! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Anyway, please R&R!
