An Exchange Student

A/N: Nope, I don't own anything... But I sure would want to...


16-year-old Sora Strife woke up slowly to the sound of his father Cloud making breakfast in the kitchen downstairs. He could smell the delicious pancakes that his father only made in special occasions. Cloud's pancakes were the best in the whole world and it really was a pity that he made them so rarely.

Sora jumped out of bed, tripped on his blanket and fell down. Sora groaned and rose up from the floor rubbing his aching bum . Sora yawned and made his way towards the door only to hit his knee in the corner of his bedside table. At last Sora stumbled out of his room and ran to the kitchen.

In the kitchen he saw his blond father – or more like mother – Cloud with an apron that said "Kiss the cook". His other father, Leon was doing just that. Kissing the cook.

"Oh! Sora! Good morning, honey!" Cloud said cheerfully, blushing as he pushed Leon away.

"G'morning…" Sora slurred groggily. He sat on a chair to wait for breakfast.

After few agonisinly long minutes for Sora and his hungry tummy, he heard someone coming to the kitchen.

"Oh… so, you finally decided to wake up", Sora said, grinning.

"Yeah, thanks to you. You woke me up with your stumbling", Sora's twin brother Roxas complained and took his own place at the table.

"So, what's the special occasion?" Roxas asked curiously. Cloud smiled and looked at Leon.

"What? No, you tell them!" Leon grumbled.

"Well, Sora, Roxas. We're going to have a guest…" Cloud started.

"Not uncle Sephiroth! He's scary! I'm scared to death when he just looks at me!" Sora yelled.

"No, it's not uncle Sephiroth…"

"Oh, no, not our evil cousins! Lock, Shock and Barrel put a spider in my bed last summer when they were here! They know how much I hate spiders…" Roxas cried.

"Please, just let me finish. He's a special guest, a 17-year old exchange student form Radient Garden. He'll be staying with us for a year, he's coming this evening and we'll pick him up from the airport. It's going to be fun to have someone not from Destiny Islands in our home!" Cloud explained exitedly.

"What's so great in that? Leon's also from Radient Garden", Sora pointed out.

"It's not the same thing. It has been 16 years since the last time Leon was in Radient Garden, then he came here with you guys…" Cloud said.

"After our mother died… then he met you… Yeah yeah yeah, we've heard that story a hundred times already", Roxas sighed.

"Back to the point here! I don't want a stranger living in our home! Who knows, he might be a serial killer or something! And why weren't we told earlier? Before you made the decision?" Sora shouted.

"He's not a serial killer, I talked with him on the phone and he seemed like a nice guy…" Cloud started.

"'Seemed' being the key word! Serial killers always act nice. Next thing you know he's chopping you like a piece of meat. Haven't you watched tv?" Sora cried.

"Sora! You're being unfair! You haven't even seen the guy!" Cloud said.

"Well, whatever, I'm not coming to the airport!" Sora fumed, stood up, took his pancakes and left for his room. Cloud sighed.

"And that's exactly why I let you explain it…" Leon said to Cloud and dodged a flying pancake.


A/N: So, that's it, the first chapter's done. I'm sure there's a lot of mistakes with grammar, but this is my first story... And English is not even my native language...

So, review, please!
