Late one afternoon Andy, Ray and Tayo sit on their old, blue couch and turn on their favorite game ever. The Kingdom Hearts opening theme starts to play, Andy bouncing up and down in her spot.
"Your giving me, too many things... Lately! Your alll I neeed!" Andy sings, off-key and just overall badly. "Oh! You smiled at meee! And said: Don't get me wrong, I love you-"
Ray's eye twitches as she presses her hands over her ears, "My ears! They burn, please stop singing!"
"-But does that mean I have to meet, your father? When we are older, you'll understand it's enough when I say so-"
"Tayo, press start before I go deaf!"
"-Cause sometimes, things just aren't that simple! When you walk away, you don't hear me say, pleaaassse! Oh baaabbyyy, don't go-"
Tayo laughs and presses start, skipping past the opening and moving ahead to the title screen. Andy squeals angrily and throws a pillow at her friend, glaring at her and sitting back down. Ray breathes a sigh of relief and props her feet up on the coffee table. Andy really can't sing.
Ray's 16, but she can't drive to save her life. She's tan with freckles dotting her cheeks. Her hair is dirty blonde, her eyes bright blue like the sky. She's pretty serious, but laidback most of the time.
Andy's 14, but acts a little younger than that. She was turning 15 in a few months and her mother was getting on her about acting her age. Andy was childish, small and skinny(even though she eats more than a grown man). Her hair was jet black, straight and fell down to her waist, it stuck up at the top though. Her skin is pale and her eyes grey with specks of gold.
Tayo was 15, somewhere in-between with her personalities. She went through phases constantly, her wardrobe filled with various things. She had a Yu-Gi-Oh! phase at some point and made hundreds off selling the cards she collected over the span of 2 weeks. But one phase she would never get over was Kingdom Hearts.
Tayo has chocolate skin and big, brown eyes. Her hair was an even darker brown and was usually in a messy ponytail. She was calm, yet hyper. She loved to make jokes, especially perverted ones. She secretly fangirled over Riku.
"Your just jealous of my singing skills!" Andy shouts.
"What singing skills? You mean those dying cat sound effects?" Ray smirks.
"They're not dying cat sound effects!"
"Right. They're just plain dying sound effects."
"Oh shut up!" Andy throws her heartless plushie(named Shadow) at Ray.
"What is with you and throwing stuff?"
Tayo sighs, but smiles a little as the game finishes loading. She begins to play without her friends, wandering through Traverse Town so she could find Cid and go to the next world. Andy turns away from Ray as she loses the arguement. She stares at the screen for a bit before snatching the controller away from Tayo and playing.
"It's so easy to find Cid, he's down in the sewers for some odd reason." Andy mutters, going to the place she explained. "But, for some reason, the yellow thingy isn't working."
"What yellow thingy?" Tayo cocks an eyebrow.
"The stupid, yellow, micky mouse head that's all over the damn game!" Andy huffs, trying to get it to work. "There's something wrong with it!"
"Maybe your not pressing the right button, let me see." Ray reaches for the remote.
"NO! I'n not an idiot, I know how to play the game!" Andy shoves her away. "I'm telling you, it's broken!"
"Your brain is broken."
"It is not!"
"...What's wrong with the game?" Tayo realizes.
"THE YELLOW THINGY ISN'T WORKING!"
"No, I mean, the screen is black. What did you two do to the game?"
A yellow, Mickey Mouse symbol appears on the screen, the same one Andy was having issues with. It starts to pulse to the beat of music box from who knows where.
"Come to me." A tough, but airy voice pleads.
Ray stares wide-eyed, unsure where the voice had come from. The music begins to play louder and she recognizes it as the theme song.
Andy reaches for her plushie, mostly for comfort. She had no idea what was happening, no one did. She takes a step closer to the TV, staring rather angrily at the yellow symbol that was causing her so much trouble.
"This symbol forever teases me." She points at it, turning to face her friends.
"Your such a dork." Tayo smirks. "But now we have to figure out how to turn off the music."
"Press start, duh." Andy picks up the remote and presses the triangle-shaped start button.
The music cuts off abruptly and the room shakes. The yellow Mickey Mouse symbol flashes, blinding everyone in the room. Andy jumps back in surprise, falling on her butt. More sparkles fill the room and the 3 of them are knocked out cold.
Ray groans and rubs her head, sitting back on her knees. It was pretty dark outside, which was great. The sun hurt her eyes when she woke up, she prefers to wake up in the dark. The air was cool and there were dim lights spread out all over the place.
She looks around confusedly, her eyes focusing on a yellow, Mickey Mouse head drawn on the ground. It was pretty small, resembling the one from earlier. She reaches out to touch it.
She gasps and jerks her hand back as a keyblade almost slices her hand off. She looks up at the person, unable to see their face because a thick hood was in the way. The person leaves the keyblade stuck in the ground in front of her and walks up to Tayo's unconcious body. He summons another keyblade, this one with a purple handle. He places it under her hand and moves onto Andy.
Ray watches, slightly creeped out by the stranger. Why was he giving them keyblades? Who was he? ...Where were they?
The man summons one last keyblade, this one red, the blade fanning out. He stares at a quivering, black lump that was trying hard to get under Andy's body. He seemed unfazed by it and places the keyblade under her arm.
"Wh-Who are you?" Ray stands, gesturing to her friends. "What are you doing?"
The man takes a large step forward and places his hand firmly on her face, "Life is like a puzzle. Every piece leads up to a big picture. Now go back to sleep, child."
Yellow light fades into her face, her eyelids felt heavier. She closes her eyes as she's eneveloped by yellow light and falls into a magic-induced sleep. The man sets her down on the ground and disapears into the night. Thoughts cloud their minds before they realize something they would soon forget.
'I want the strength to protect my friends...'
'I want the power to defeat the enemy.'
'I want the talent to be the best.'
My first kingdom hearts fic... I hope it turns out good, did I do this chapter good or does it need more editing? I don't want to announce who thought what at the end just yet... I wonder if anyone will figure it out.
