I was six years old. I was out in front of my yard, riding my old, worn-out scooter. My dogs running around, trying to herd me. My long, black hair flowing behind my back. A huge, black oval appeared. I heard someone calling my name. Being six, I had no conscience and walked right through it. Next thing I know, someone is poking me with a stick.
I heard one boy's voice.
"Go wake her up! You found her!" The other by grunted. I heard footsteps coming towards me. He shook me and my eyes slowly found the strength to open. I looked around and saw two boys. One had short, silver hair that went down to the middle of his neck. He was the one who shook me. The other had long, brown, spiked-up hair and was holding a wooden sword. They both looked to be about six or seven as well.
"Where am I?" I asked. The brown-haired boy ran up to the silver-haired boy and put an arm around his shoulder.
"You're on me and Riku's island! Right, Riku?" The silver-haired boy nodded.
"Yeah! We have all kinds of adventures here!" He said, helping me up. "I'm Riku, and that goofball over there is Sora. Who are you?"
"My name's Mikaila. Hi!" I replied.
"So, Mikaila, there's gonna be a meteor shower tonight! Wanna watch it with us? Where do you live?" Sora asked.
"Of course I'll watch it with you. But I kinda am lost," I said. "Will you help me find my home?" They both nodded. We searched everywhere. We looked all around the island, all over Sora's neighborhood and Riku's neighborhood, but we couldn't find my home. We sat and watched the meteor shower from the island and I slept on the island that night.
That next morning Riku and Sora ran up to me announcing there was a new girl in town and they wanted to go meet her. I naturally agreed and we soon met Kairi. After that, I never questioned where I came from, when I got there, how I ended up here. I just knew, well, that that was where I belonged. I slept on the island for every night after that. I would stare out at the beautiful, indigo sky and fall asleep.
Nine years later, Riku, Sora, Kairi and I were inseparable. I still lived on the island and haven't had a real home. It satisfied my needs, but you can only have so many coconuts. We all had this idea that there were other worlds. So, Kairi suggested we build a raft to go see them. Life was so easy then. We all sat on the paopu tree, staring out into the orange sky.
"So, Kairi and Mikaila's homes are somewhere out there, right?"
"Could be. We'll never know by staying here." Then Riku went into this long talk about wondering why we where there, on Destiny Islands. After that, we all got up to go home, or, what we knew to be home.
That night, I had a strange dream. Someone kept telling me to save Riku, to not let him fade into darkness, to not let him fall into someone named Ansem's trap. Who knew it meant something?
