(AN: Hey guys, just wanted to say there WILL be more than just one chapter. A bunch of people on here just do little short stories, but my guess is that there'll be about 15 chapters, maybe more. If I get enough reviews. Enjoy the first chapter of Wonderstuck.)
4 Years Before.
The red-headed girl gazed into the stars, her violet-blue eyes twinkling. Her sister sat next to her on the beach, their hands gripping each other's.
"Kairi, I'm scared." The blond girl whimpered. She flinched as a violet-blue gaze stared into her light blue eyes, and her sister's reply.
"We've been through this before, Naminé," Kairi whispered. "We're being adopted. No more foster homes, no more being yelled at by crazy lunatics off the street. We're going to have a new home."
The look on Naminé 's face almost made Kairi's heart melt. "B-but what if this is like last time? Wh-when those people had hurt us..." The twelve year old girl trailed off and Kairi wrapped her in a bear hug.
"We met them. When we met them they were really mean when we first saw them. These people were nice. The woman vowed to protect us. We're on Destiny Islands right now. Our new home. We'll be safe, Naminé How many times do I have to say that?" The red-head asked her sister, but not unkindly.
Naminé sighed. "I'll never get used to this place." She muttered to her sister as they gazed up at the sky, rubbing her eyes to keep tears from spilling down her face. Kairi's arms never moved from her sister's waist. She just silently sat there, breathless, completely unaware that two people were watching them, their blue eyes glittering in the starlight. Behind them was a flock of trees, and one open gap in which they had come.
"Who are they?" A brown haired boy whispered to his cousin.
"I dunno." The blond grinned. "But that blonde is hot!"
The brown haired boy rolled his eyes, grinning. The blond looked like she was scared of the air, as the red-head wrapped her delicate-looking arms over her sister's waist until a woman ran out and told them it was time for bed.
The two boys were alone.
The blond blinked. "You were so checking out that redhead." He grinned at the boy next to him, and they both considered slapping each other in the face, but for different reasons.
"Do ya think they wanna go to the party tomorrow?" The blond continued. "Whatcha think, Sora?"
"Roxas!" Sora snapped. "Talking like that is well... perverted. And let's make Riku ask them, or beg Selphie."
Roxas giggled. "You're just scared." He laughed, and Sora swore he looked like he was about to keel over and die of laughter.
A light flickered on in the house. Sora froze. In the window, he saw the girl Kairi hugging Naminé in the window, before closing the door. She peered out the window, gazing at some trees the ocean, before spotting Sora and supposedly Roxas. But right when her gaze landed on them, Sora heard Roxas's footsteps bounding away.
Kairi gave him a glare before slamming pink curtains with small white polka dots in front of the window. Pissed, Sora turned to where Roxas had left, the small trail next to him. "Roxas!" He yelled, charging after his cousin.
Kairi just looked at her room. She couldn't sleep, couldn't think. Her walls and ceiling were a light pink with polka dots everywhere, on the white bed was a pink blanket, matching the curtains, and a small white teddy bear with a red shirt with the name KAIRI stitched in white on the back of it's shirt. Next to her bed were lamps that looked like little moons, and beside the one on the left, (and next to the curtains) was a small plant.
The last thought that crossed her mind before she fell asleep was,
Who were those boys?
Two people were talking, one was stretching as he lay on the couch, and one woman was sitting worriedly with her arms on her knees at the end of the couch.
"Why are we talking at two am?" The man said, rubbing his eyes.
The woman rolled her beautiful eyes. "Because I'm worried about the girls. I don't know how they're going to react to-"
The man frowned. "Yeah, I do know that they've been adopted a lot. This won't be just another home to them. We're gonna make this SO COOL!" He said, pumping his fist in the air.
"But, Naminé, she's so scared of everything. How do we let her know that she doesn't need Kairi to protect her?" The woman asked, her question being cut off in the middle of the word "her?"
"Listen. She might never change. But all we can do is to try, right? And we gave them pretty awesome rooms too."
The woman sighed, her short hair flinching as she did. "But if she's so quiet and scared of everything, how will she make friends?"
The man looked like it was so obvious, so he sat up and looked her in the eye. "Hello? These two are twins. Same grade. Maybe Kairi will make friends that are just SO nice and then introduce them to Naminé and they'll think 'Oh, why'd I misunderstand this awesome twelve year old?'" He squealed in a high-pitched girl imitation.
The woman bit her lip. "I'm not sure, but I hope you're right. I'm going to bed. You coming?"
The man blinked. "No. I'm going to get a glass of water, then I'll come up." He said as he hopped off the couch.
"Okay, night Ven." The woman called.
The man turned off the television. "Night Aqua."
"Olette!" A voice cried, and the girl whipped around to face a blond boy.
"Hayner?" She asked. "Ever since you got kicked out of-"
Hayner's face completely went into a snarl. "That wasn't my fault and you know it!" He said crossly.
Olette blinked. "Yes, but it was your fault I quit school-AND I'm an A+ student!-So we could be together."
Hayner sighed. "You didn't have to. I can't imagine you as a dropout."
"Anyways, why'd you scream my name across the whole of Twilight Town just to review this?" She sighed, her brown hair blowing back, making her look a lot scarier.
Hayner shook his head. "Nonono. Look!" He shoved a brochure under her face, making her grin as she took it.
"Destiny High School..." She murmured, flipping through it. She looked at him excitedly. "Hayner!" She began, out of breath.
"What? Didn't I get lucky?" He said, and paused in confusion as Olette rolled her eyes.
"Hayner, we don't just walk in and they say we're new kids. We have to do all this paperwork, and that school's in another world! Not Twilight Town. We'll have to move."
Hayner's face had dropped at the word 'paperwork', but his face lit back up. "We can rent an apartment. Why not? I looked it up, it's six thousand munny per month. We could each pay three thousand-"
Olette paused. "Well... If you're sure you want to do this-just NO attacking poor seventh graders because they said blitzball was dumb! That's what got you kicked-" She stopped abruptly, knowing this was Hayner's weak spot. "Never mind. I'm in. Let's do it!" She pumped her fist into the air enthusiastically.
