Gasp. New story.

I had such a big writer's block, and I was certain that I wouldn't be able to come up with a story. Who knew that googling writing ideas could lead me to writing a new story?

This chapter is pretty short since it's kinda like a prologue for the story. Yes, I'm trying another story with more than one chapter. Hope it goes better than Shadow.

Anyway, as I was saying, don't mind the fact that it's really short, and please review! I was moving pretty quickly when writing this, so I never really got the time to sit down and write out everything. Alrighty then, I'm gonna stop worrying about how short the chapter is and let you guys read. Enjoy!

STRANGERS ON A BUS--CHAPTER 1

I'm done with this town. I came here with big dreams, and now I'm leaving with crushed ones. Not only did I lose all hope in becoming famous, but I also lost a good amount of money. I only have five thousand dollars left. With some of that money, I'm taking a bus to any city that drives me far away from this one I now know as hell. I don't know how far I'm going, but as long as it's far from Twilight Town, I don't care.

You see, a few months ago, I was certain that I had what it takes to make it big as a singer. I came to Twilight Town with money and a big ego. Over the months, I spent that money trying to make demos and trying to find managers. I was pretty close to releasing a CD; I recorded all of the songs, and I even had a photo shoot. Right before the release though, the company went bankrupt and all of my money went down the drain with the company's.

"Mr. Landon? I'm sorry to say this, but there's no way your CD can be released. We spent all that money making your CD, and now we are running short on extra advertising," I remember one of the employees at the record company telling me.

"What?" I was in total shock. I was telling myself that that was the lamest excuse ever. I even remember my manager mumbling, "Well, Sora and I will go somewhere else then."

That was a rough time for me, and all I could do was just leave the town that made my life miserable.

It would be another two minutes until the bus was to arrive, and I just couldn't wait for that bus to roll by and take me to a new start.

"Come on, Naminé! We're going to be late for that bus!" I yelled loudly. I dragged out a heavy suitcase that was filled with al of my expensive clothes out to the sidewalk. I was so ready to leave this town for bigger, better things.

"I'm coming, Kairi! I've got so much stuff in my suitcase!" My blonde partner replied. Naminé was a young woman who had just graduated high school with me. We were both ready to leave Twilight Town and start our careers elsewhere. Twilight Town wasn't the best place to start a life seeing as many people got shot down and their dreams were crushed. So, Naminé and I felt that we should leave our hometown and go somewhere else. We had hopes to start our own modeling agency, or at least be hired to one. We definitely had the looks (not to sound like a braggart or anything, but people have told us so.). Naminé had blonde hair with bright blue eyes that everyone loved. She had pale skin and a small figure. I looked somewhat like Naminé, except I had red hair and blue eyes as well.

"Kairi, when exactly is the bus coming?" Naminé asked.

I looked down at my cell phone and realized that it wouldn't be another five minutes until the bus would arrive. I told Naminé of this and she sighed.

"I can't wait till we leave! Just think, we could be heading to a city that can help us start our careers!" I squealed with delight. Naminé agreed and she bounced up and down in excitement.

"Five more minutes, Naminé; five more minutes until freedom."

Dear Lord, what the hell is taking him so long?

If he doesn't show up in ten minutes, there is no way he's going to make me wait for the next bus. He knows that we'll be dead meat if we don't get on this one.

"ROXAS! Get your ass out here!"

I grumbled and looked around. Where was that blonde spiky hair of his?

"Axel, chill! We'll get on the bus. I just wanted to get a bag of chips," Roxas admitted. I rolled my eyes. How could we be chill? We're freaking criminals trying to run away! We have to leave soon before the police find us. How the hell can I be chill?!

"You aren't calm, are you?"

I sighed and whispered to him, "Roxas, did you forget that we just robbed a bank yesterday? You do realize that when somebody does something like that, the smart thing to do is to make sure that the police don't catch us."

Roxas stared at me with a blank expression. I groaned and further explained, "Roxas! We could get arrested for doing that if we don't leave Twilight Town! We have to get on that bus, and go far away. Got it memorized?"

"Got it," he replied. I nodded my head in response and turned to my watch. Seven more minutes.

Once we get on that bus, no one will know that we're criminals. Who knows? Maybe there will even be other criminals on that bus. That's the fun part about buses; strangers from all over town get on one bus together, to go through one hell of a ride.

Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and review! It will be the most awesome Easter gift ever!
