Opening his eyes slowly, a teenager found himself surrounded by darkness, with a single street lamp illuminating the eerie darkness around him. "Hello?" His voice echoed throughout the void, walking carefully towards the light, he suddenly turned around to see his shadow stretched out, "remember the closer you get to the light, the longer your shadow becomes." Hearing a voice he quickly ran under the street lamp, and watched in horror as his shadow grew and loomed over him, fearing for his life, he left the lamp, trying to escape the shadow, but he fell off the edge of the platform that he could not see in the darkness.

Falling, he let his eyes focus on the light radiating from the top of the platform, however it began to fade, leaving him alone with the darkness. "Hey Mareo wake up! Your not allowed to sleep on the job!" A loud voice came to him, waking Mareo out of his sleep, "What? Is it time to go home already?" The other boy shook his head, "man if I didn't look out for you, you would have been fired a long time ago…" Being fully awake, Mareo got up from the stool he was sleeping on, while rubbing his bottom, "man it really hurts after sitting so long…" Mareo had brown hair, along with dull blue eyes, he wore a black 'Quick-Fill' collared shirt, since it was required for work, and a pair of black pants. "I'm here to give you a break, so go get something to eat, or a drink…" the other boy said and perched on the stool, "thanks Zack." Mareo said as he walked out of the small, rectangular building, with glass making up half of the building, Zack had blonde hair and green eyes, and wore the same outfit as Mareo.

Wandering across the parking lot, Mareo came inside the convenience store, and stared looking around, "Hey Mareo what can I get you?" He simply shrugged his shoulders and took his time around the small mart, seeing the shelves stocked with various candy and potato chips. Picking up a bag of chips he wandered to the fountain drinks, and started to mix his own concoction of two different sodas, finally walking up the counter, the older woman behind the counter had black hair and dark eyes to match, and were dressed in the same uniform. "Is this all for you tonight?" Linda asked, and Mareo nodded and with the transaction complete, he started to walk out the door, but a sudden boom of thunder followed closely by a flash of lightning stopped him dead in his tracks. Linda looked on through the window, "we sure have been getting crazy weather for September…" Mareo looked back at her nodding, "yea…I wonder if it was in the forecast…"

Staying inside, Mareo looked on as the rain started to pour, making the ground seem more like a lake, with rain constantly breaking the surface. "I wonder how Zack is doing…It's a good thing we are working the graveyard shift, since hardly anyone comes in anyway…" Linda nodded, "you two are the most reliable people we have, well with the manager switch and all, you guys are the only ones who stayed to work outside…" Mareo turned to her with a smile on his face, "well someone has to pump people's gas right? Since it's the law that they can't…which is silly…" Linda narrowed her eyes, "but it's paying for your college right? And you get to do homework out there. Your killing two birds with one stone." Mareo simply nodded and turned his attention back to the storm outside.

Within moments, Zack was running across the parking lot, the automatic doors opened for him and he walked to Mareo, "Your half hour is up. Your turn to go play in the rain," he said with a smirk, and then walked to a door labeled "Employees Only" and opened it behind him, and let it shut on its own. "Ok…Time to get wet…" Mareo said to himself as he started running towards the small glass building, but something caught his attention from the corner of this right eye: it was a figure in black. Mareo came to a stop and simply starred at the personage, "…Where have I seen that person before?" he questioned himself, and his mind raced to find the answer, "I know! He is a member of Organization XIII! But…its not real…or is it?" Mareo thought to himself as he continued to stare at the man, however he had turned and started walking away. Making up his mind, Mareo quickly dashed after the man in black, having the rain and water hinder him, he raced to the end of the parking lot only to find the man had vanished. "Who was that?" Mareo asked aloud, but a horn stopped his train of thought, he turned around to see a customer waiting at the pumps.

Finishing the transaction, Mareo slowly wandered into the glass building, and perched himself on the stool, and looked around again for the man. "Its no use…He's gone…" Mareo sighed, "Who's gone?" Zack's voice came from the open door, making Mareo jump, "GAH! Don't scare me like that…" Zack laughed, "Sorry…but what were you talking about?" Mareo shook his head, "well…I think you would laugh if I told you…" Zack folded his arms across his chest, "Nah, try me. I've heard some crazy stuff…" "Well…" Mareo started, "I saw this guy in a black coat and I know something about him…" Zack became interested, "like what?" Mareo starred out the window, "He is from Kingdom Hearts…" This forced a smile on Zack's face, which erupted into full laughter, "Listen…" Zack said, catching his breath, "I know you don't wanna hear it from me, but you play too many video games. Listen to yourself, you just said you saw someone from Kingdom Hearts, and I didn't see him, nor did Linda with the cameras outside…" Mareo still looked out the window, into the storm, "you mean…there was no one there?"


Remember my story I was going to write? Well this is the start, and I have most of it planned it my head, expect lots of cross overs from Video Games to Anime and maybe even some movies.
