Let the story begin...

Chapter 1: Extras

"Sooo" Riku started, leaning against a tree with his arms crossed

"So… what?" Kairi leaned forward on the Paopu tree she was sitting on.

"So where's Sora?" he turned to her uncrossing his arms

"I dunno he was here earlier today. He should still be on the island right?" she turned back to the sea. "Unless he went home."

"Not without telling us first he wouldn't. You know him, that's his thing," Riku sighed. "I needed to tell him something too"

"Oh, well if I see him I'll let him know okay?" she replied

"Yeah, sure. Whatever. I'm off" Riku waved behind him as he crossed the bridge back to the main part of the island. Kairi waited till the sun had long set before making her way back home.

Sora woke up with a splitting headache and in a strangely uncomfortable position that clearly didn't feel like his bed. Sora slowly opened his eyes. The sun was so bright it made his headache even worse and so instinctively retracted his eyelids. He tried to move his left arm only to find it stuck in between a heap of branches 'okay this is sooo not my bed' he thought, 'wait where's my bed… why can't I remember that… I can't remember anything.'

"Sora what're you doing here? And in a tree?" someone said below. Sora could only manage a pitiful groan in return to the person below.

"You're so lazy. Here I'll get you down" the person below seemed to be female judging by the tone they were using. Sora fell on his head with a thud he attempted for a second time to open his eyes. This time with success, he seemed to be upside down at the base of a tree with a woman in front of him. She had short, black-brown hair cut short with a dark blue ribbon flapping in the wind behind it, a khaki vest that was open and showed a navy blue shirt with a discreet white floral pattern, khaki shorts and thigh-high converse high tops.

"You okay?" she asked sweetly. Again Sora could only manage a groan. He coughed pitifully and asked.

"And you are?" she looked blank.

"You've got to be kidding."

"No, I truly haven't a clue who you are."

"Did you hit your head?" She cocked her head to the side.

"On the ground yes… and I'm pretty sure that was your fault too." He rubbed his head which was aching even more.

"Yeah, yeah /besides/ then." She rolled her eyes.

"Not that I can remember… come to think of it I'm having trouble remembering anything." He fell sideways onto the ground and attempted to stand. Only to fail miserably.

"Ow. That really hurt."

"Here I'll help." She lifted him to his feet. "Oh, and the names Yuffie." She threw his arm around her shoulder and began steering him towards the buildings in the distance.

"Yuffie?" Sora asked

"Yo" she replied

"Where exactly am I?" Yuffie sighed.

"The Radiant Garden. Let's go meet Squall, Aerith, Cid and the rest of the gang… again." She said cheerfully.

"Okay" Sora sounded uncertain.

"SQUAAAALL!" Yuffie squealed at the door.

"You have a very piercing voice, did you know that?" Sora said rubbing his ear.

"Yep sure did! I like to exploit it to my advantage." She grinned.

"What do you want now?" A man with short spiky-ish hair was at the door, wearing what appeared to be black satin pajamas whom Sora assumed was Squall, groaned. "And what is he doing here?" He looked directly at Sora shocked to see him and so… injured. Sora began nodding off to the lovely sleepy dreamland he seemed to desperately needed.

"He had a fall and hit his head, so he's probably got a headache, and well he can't remember what else happened… or anything else for that matter." She poked his head to wake him.

"I think Merlin has a bed free. Here, I got him." Squall scooped Sora into his arms and carried him inside.

Aerith was calmly walking down a moonlit street of The Radiant Garden, as she normally did at night, reading the signs to see if anything new was happening and, as usual, nothing was. She walked passed an ally and heard a muffled sob. She stopped to make sure she wasn't hearing things… there it was again. She walked down the ally and spotted a girl around about the age of 15, sobbing into her arms. Aerith bent down.

"Are you okay?" she asked lightly. The girl looked up. She had black hair that swept across to the on side and covered one of her eyes. She appeared to be wearing non-waterproof mascara and she had black streaks running down her cheeks. Instead of replying to Aerith's question tears welled up in her eyes and she sobbed even louder. Aerith put her arm around her shoulder to comfort her.

"Let's get you somewhere warm okay?" she suggested. The girl nodded in response and stood up to walk with Aerith. Aerith felt a slight drop on her nose. "Possibly someplace dry as well, I think." She said, reaching in front of herself to feel the light drizzle that was beginning to fall around them.

"Leon we have someone in need of shelter." Aerith barged into the house, holding the crying girl.

"Another one." Squall rolled his eyes. "That's the second one today. And he's not in a great state." He pointed to the bed that Yuffie was sitting at. Aerith recognized the spiky brown hair poking out the top of the blanket.

"Sora? What's he doing here?" She blinked in surprise.

"We don't know. I found him hanging upside down in a tree this morning and got him down. Turns out he can't remember who we are too" Yuffie sighed

"Well I'm not sure about this one. She should calm down and get warm before we ask anything." Aerith led her towards the fire placed sat her down. She walked over to the cupboard sitting in the corner and pulled out a blanket. "You won't need it when the fire get's going." She said to the girl as she placed it over her shoulders. Squall leaned back and started rocking his chair.

"Aerith. Why do you still call me Leon? I gave that up when the town was restored." He asked casually.

"Well I've been doing it so long it's like a force of habit." Aerith started walking to the kitchen. "Don't you ever get that?" She asked.

"Yeah but I try not to say anything." He smiled. "You know, like, when I used to tell Yuffie off for calling me Squall. I still get the urge to yell at her." He turned to face the window. Sora groaned pitifully in the corner and rolled over. The black haired girl turned to see what the person was doing. It was a boy. Not a bad looking one either she decided.
