Chapter 1: Meeting Those You Already Knew

Zera sat waiting in her room patiently. She had been drawing for two hours now, but it still wasn't time. She looked at the clock again. It was 6:53.

"WHY WON'T IT JUST BE SEVEN ALREADY!" Zera yelled while banging her clock against the corner of her desk. She stopped hitting it, and looked at it. The clock was now in several pieces. "DAMNIT!" she yelled.

"Um, are you done with you're little temper tantrum yet?" said a person from Zera's door. Zera turned around quickly with a grin.

"Yoko! YOU'RE HERE! YAY!" she squealed. Yoko shook her head and walked into Zera's room. She set her things down on the floor next to the bed.

"Soooooooo………..what do you wanna do?" Zera said sitting on her bed.

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm………………………….I donno," Yoko said.

"Let's go to the basement!" Zera said striking a heroic pose. Yoko came up beside her, and also struck a heroic pose.

"Alright, let's go!" Yoko said. And so they ran off to go down to Zera's basement.

"What now?" Yoko asked when they got there.

"…I don't know. Let's play Kingdom Hearts!" Zera said popping the disc in her PS2.

"I guess I don't have a choice," Yoko said sitting down next to Zera. (okay, if you want a description, then here it is) Zera had dark brown hair and eyes. She had redish-purple highlights in her hair, and it was cut to just below her shoulders. She wore a black shirt that said 'fight like a girl' on it, her favorite low-rise jeans, and since she hadn't taken her shoes off yet, she also had on sneakers that were gray with blue on the sides. Yoko, Zera's best friend, also had brown hair cut just below her shoulders. She had red highlights instead, and her eyes were amber. She wore a gray shirt that said 'smile, tomorrow will be worse'. Her pants were black and baggy, and her shoes were also black, and had blue on the sides like Zera's.

"I hate tournaments, don't you?" Zera asked fighting another group of heartless in the Hades' Cup. She defeated them with ease and moved on.

"Yeah, they take to long. Especially this one," Yoko replied. Zera continued fighting all of the heartless groups.

"I'm bored," Yoko stated.

"Me too," Zera said. She was almost done with the tournament. They heard rain start to pound down on the side and roof of the house.

"Great, it's raining," Yoko said, lying down.

"Zera! The pizza's up here! Get some when you guys want some! I have to go back out, okay?" Zera's mother called from upstairs. The girls heard footsteps above them, and then a door open and close. They looked at each other.

"PIZZA!" they yelled in unison. They scrambled to get up and run towards the stairs, but they never made it. Yoko heard a crackling sound come from, and she turned to look back. Zera stopped her rushing, and looked back at Yoko.

"Yoko, come on. There's pizza…" she trailed off when she saw what Yoko was looking at. A black thing was coming out of Zera's TV. When it came all the way out, it looked like an oversized black ant. Yoko and Zera recognized it immediately.

"IT'S A HEARTLESS RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Zera shouted.

"Calm down, it's just one, and it's small fry. Just go grab that book over there and throw it at it's head," Yoko replied, unusually calm. Zera quickly got the book and threw it at the heartless like Yoko told her to. Unfortunately, it didn't do anything. All that did was make more of them appear. They hadn't attacked yet.

"How the hell are we supposed to beat these guys if we don't have a keyblade!" Zera yelled.

"We run," Yoko said, sprinting to the stairs. Zera followed after her. They ran out the front door, and into the street. The shadow heartless were everywhere.

"Shit!" Yoko yelled.

"Yoko, watch out!" Zera yelled, kicking a heartless away from her friend.

"Thanks," Yoko said, smiling weakly. "Come on, we have to find someway to stop this."

They started running down the street, glancing around, seeing if there was anyone who hadn't had their hearts taken away. Suddenly, Zera stopped. Yoko turned around to see her friend crying.

"Zera, come on. We have to keep moving, or else we'll be…caught," Yoko said. She saw what Zera was looking at. It was Zera's mother. She was hanging out of the car door, and she wasn't breathing. Yoko looked around to see heartless coming after them. She grabbed Zera's arm and dragged her away.

"Come on. We're the only two left, and I don't want you being caught. I don't want to be the last living thing on the planet," Yoko said while running. Zera sniffed, wiped her eyes, and nodded her head. She was now running beside Yoko, with out Yoko dragging her along. Suddenly, a energy blast went by them. Zera looked behind them, and saw the figure of a man with silver hair pursuing them. She couldn't see who it was exactly because of the rain and the tears still in her eyes.

"Somebody's following us! It looks like he has silver hair!" Zera yelled. Both the girls were drenched by the rain now.

"You sure?" Yoko yelled back. Another energy blast whizzed past them.

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure!" Zera said. She sped up her pace, but was running out of breath fast. Their chests were on fire, and they're legs hurt from running so fast, and so much. Then, one of the energy blasts hit Yoko, knocking her down. Zera instantly stopped, and knelt down by her.

"Yoko! Are you alright?" Zera asked, occasionally glancing back to look to see that the silver haired man was coming closer. Yoko groaned. Zera sighed in relief that her friend was still alive. She felt someone hovering over her and Yoko. She looked back to see their pursuer was standing behind her.

"Time to go to sleep," he said. Then the man hit the back of Zera's neck, making her black out.

(Zera's POV)

Voices. I hear voices. I don't recognize them. I wonder who they are. I groaned. I really don't want to get up. I hear the voices again, but this time, I can understand them.

"I think she's waking up," one said. It was female, and sounded remotely familiar, but I still didn't know who it was. Well, I guess I had better open my eyes now. So I did. I squinted at the light that shone in my eyes. Damn that was bright. I sat up slowly, holding my head. Stupid headache.

"Hey there! How're you feeling?" the voice from before asked. I turned my head to see a girl with short black hair staring at me. She wore a green scarf, a sort of kami-like thing that showed off her entire stomach, and the shortest pair of shorts I had ever seen. I gasped as I suddenly remembered something.

"Yuffie!" I said.

"How do you know my name?" the girl, now know as Yuffie said. Crap! I didn't mean to say that.

"Um, I uh…heard it from someone?" I replied, not really sure they would buy my answer. Yuffie looked me over like she was suspicious of my answer. She opened her mouth to say something but another person interrupted her.

"Okay, so what's you're name?" a male asked. He stepped forth in his leather outfit, carrying a sword that also looked like a gun. I immediately recognized his weapon as the gunblade, and the guy as Squall. I jumped out of the bed, and pounced on Squall giving him a hug.

"I've always wanted to meet you Squall! Oh my god you were like, my idol, or something! This is so cool!" I said, hugging him tighter. I guess Yuffie got mad when she saw me hugging Squall like that. I know because I heard her stomp out and slam the door. Squall was trying to pry me off, and so for his sake, I let him go.

"How do you know my real name?" he asked sternly, leaving no room for excuses. I thought quickly.

"I come from a planet called Orion 5 and you are a huge star there. So I've always wanted to meet you. Oh yeah, and my name's Zera!" I said, hoping he would buy it.

"You aren't telling the truth," he stated.

"But I am! If Yoko were here, she would justify me, for she also comes from Orion 5!" I whined. I wasn't really from Orion 5. I don't even know where the hell it is, or if it exists. "That reminds me, do you happen to know where Yoko is? Her hair is like mine, only it has red highlights, and she has a really bad temper, and-"

"WHERE THE HELL AM I!" someone screamed from the room beside me. I ran over to the door, and flung it open. I pummeled Yoko with a hug. She was the one who screamed by the way.

"Yoko! I so happy you're still alive!" I said, letting go of her. She smiled at me

"Well of course I'm alive. How are you?" she asked. Hmm, fine, terrible, excited, all three? I don't know, I'll just tell her I'm fine.

"I'm fine. Guess what? I just met Squall and Yuffie!" I said excitedly. She gave me a quizzical look.

"I know who Yuffie is, and his name is Leon and not Squall," Yoko told me. Then I realized something else. We were in Traverse Town, and were in the Red Room at the moment.

"Wait, if Yuffie and Leon are here, where is Aerith?" I asked. Yoko pointed to a girl with long brown hair that was in a braid, and wore a long pink dress stepped in the room. I turned to face her.

"Hi Aerith!" I said waving my hand at her. Yoko slapped her forehead.

(Yoko's POV)

I groaned and sat up. I looked around the room I was in. It was mostly red. What a strange room. My back stung, and I remembered when I got hit. Then I realized I wasn't in my room, or Zera's room, which is mostly blue by the way, or even on my own planet. I saw a girl walking towards me.

"Hello, my name's Aerith, what's yours?" Aerith asked. I already knew who she was before she told me, but I wouldn't tell her that. I was still kind of on guard from yesterday, and just wanted to know where I was.

"Where am I?" I asked in the calmest voice I could muster.

"Answer my question first," Aerith said.

"I won't answer until you tell me where I am," I said getting frustrated.

"Tell me your name, and I'll tell you where you are," she said. I could tell she was getting frustrated too, but I was already furious.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I!" I yelled at her. The door flew open, and I had no time to react before I was pounced on. I found that the one who had pounced was Zera.

"Yoko! I'm so happy you're alive!" Zera said, still strangling me with her hug. She let go and then sat next to me. I smiled at her.

"Of course I'm alive. How are you?" I asked. Zera grinned like a maniac.

"I'm fine. Guess what? I just met Yuffie and Squall!" she said. Well she seem really giddy.

"I know who Yuffie is, and his name is Leon not Squall," I replied. Then it hit me we were in Traverse Town, in the Red Room. That's why everything was red. And if Zera said she knew them, then we would have a lot of explaining to do. And they probably wouldn't believe us even if we told them the truth.

"Wait, if Yuffie and Squall are here, then where is Aerith?" Zera asked. I pointed to Aerith who was standing I little ways away watching our reunion. Zera looked over at her and smiled.

"Hi Aerith!" she said. I slapped my forehead. Zera could be really dim sometimes.

(Normal POV)

"Um, excuse me but how do you know our names? None of us have ever met you before," Aerith said.

"Umm," Yoko said nervously.

"We come from the planet Orion 5, and you guys are superstars there. Almost everyone knows your names!" Zera said, using the same excuse she used with Squa-I mean Leon. Yoko slapped Zera upside the head.

"You idiot, now they'll be really suspicious," she said glaring at Zera. Zera gasped.

"Give me your hand," Zera said holding out her hand. Yoko rolled her eyes, and let Zera take her hand. "Bad Yoko," Zera said, slapping Yoko's hand.

"Are you two always like that?" Leon said coming from the Green Room.

"Yup!" Zera said proudly. Yoko rolled her eye once again.

"So why do you know our names?" Yuffie said. She had just walked back into the room.

"I just told you! We come from-mphff!" Zera tried to explain, but Yoko covered Zera's mouth with her hand. Yoko felt something wet on her hand, and then yanked it away from Zera's mouth. Zera had just licked Yoko's hand.

"You're sick," Yoko said.

"I love you too," Zera said, smiling. Yoko scooted away from her friend, but Zera pounced on her again.

"NOOOO! Don't leave me!" Zera cried. Yuffie sigh in frustration, and pulled Zera off of Yoko, and sat her down on the table across the room.

"Okay. You!" Yuffie said pointing to Yoko. "Tell us the real reason you know our names."

"You wouldn't believe us even if we did," Yoko replied. Zera tried to sneak back over to Yoko, but ended up getting stuck to the wall with ninja stars, courtesy of Yuffie. They heard a disappointed whine from Zera, but ignored it.

"Well, you can tell us, and then we'll decide if we believe you or not," Leon said. Yoko sighed.

"I WILL NOT SPEAK UNLESS IN THE PRESENCE OF MY LAWYER!" Zera shouted.

"No one asked you to talk," Yoko said bluntly.

"Oh yeah," Zera said, shutting up.

"Okay, so in our world, there's this video game called Kingdom Hearts. You guys are characters in it. We also know of Sora, Kairi, and Riku, who come from Destiny Islands. We know about Donald, and Goofy, and King Mickey. And then there's the Organization, and Ansem. Sora is the keyblade master, Kairi is a princess of heart, and Riku was once possessed by Ansem, and is now locked behind the door to the light with King Mickey," Yoko explained.

"And you expect us to believe that?" Yuffie asked.

"That's why I told you that you wouldn't believe us!" Yoko yelled.

"Hey!" Zera said, getting everyone's attention. "Where's Cloud?"

Just then a tall man with blonde hair walked in. He had a robotic hand, and a long black cape with lots of holes in it. He also carried a huge sword with torn white bandages wrapped around it. The man could only be known as Cloud. Zera instantly unstuck herself from the wall where she had recently been pinned, and pounced on Cloud. She hugged him tightly like she had to Leon and Yoko.

"Yay! I get to meet my other idol…or something like that!" Zera said excitedly, almost chocking cloud with her hug. Aerith, Yuffie, Leon, and Yoko all had to work together to pry Zera off of Cloud.

"Awww! But I wanna hug Cloudy some more!" Zera pouted.

"You'll get to hug him later, but for now, we have to do something," Yoko said firmly.

"And what would that be?" Zera asked curiously.

"We need to introduce ourselves," Yoko replied.

"Are we gonna go on an adventure? I wanna go find Sora, and Riku! And if we find Riku, then you'll be able to see your hottie!" Zera said happily. Yoko hit Zera upside the head again, blushing a little from both anger, and the last comment Zera had made.

"Whatever. So anyway, I'm Yoko, and the idiot next to me is Zera, we're best friends, and we just happened to get sucked into the world of our favorite video game," Yoko said with smile. Zera stuck her tongue out at Yoko, but smiled at everyone.

"Yep! It's the truth!" Zera said grinning. Yuffie and Aerith giggled, Leon smiled a little bit, and Cloud just looked confused.


"That's them, the pair with the power to open the door of twilight. The Twilight Princesses," a male said, his face currently obscured by the shadows.

"How will we get them to help us?" a woman asked the other, her face, covered by a hood.

"We wait until they lead us to the door, and then kill them," another man said.

"But what if they don't show us the way?" the woman from before asked.

"They will show us, but it will not be us exactly, we will use the boy you have been training to befriend them. And then when they show him to the door, he will be the one to kill them," said the first man. "Then we'll have all the power in the world." The trio laughed.

"Takuto!" the second man shouted. A young boy stepped out from the shadows, and bowed, no emotion showing in his face.

"Yes? What have you called me for?" the boy asked.

"We need you to go under cover for us. Befriend these two girls, and when we tell you, you are to kill them," the woman said. Takuto bowed, and left to fulfill his duty.


A/N: Zera: I have a lot of original characters in here!

Yoko: yeah. But what were those guys talking about back there about us being the Twilight Princesses?

Zera: (smiles evilly) you'll just have to find out in the next chapter!

Yoko: I don't wanna be no fucking princess!

Zera: You're so mean!

Yoko: I know!

Zera: and you're happy about that?

Yoko: Yep!

Zera: loser…please R&R!

Yoko: Yeah, or else I'll…make you watch the wiggles!

Zera: and you really don't want to do that now do you?

Yoko: flames are also accepted.

Zera: Yeah! They're great for making smores!
