Ok, this is my first fanfic on this site. *audience applause* Thank you, thank you! Well, here it is, the disclaimer.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or its characters. If I did, I would force all of them to live at my house, Riku would be my boyfriend, Kairi would be gone, Sora would be my sister's boyfriend, the kids from the Destiny Islands would go to my school, Sephiroth would be a lot easier to beat ( not to mention using him as target practice when throwing water baloons), and I would have all rights and privledges to publically humiliate and annoy Ansem. :)

Chapter 1: Warped

Ari was alone, sitting in her room, packing. The next day, she would be going to her aunt and uncle's house because her parents were going on a two week business trip to Japan.

She had already packed most of her things, and now all that she had to do was pack her backpack. She carried her backpack around with her wherever she went, and she kept all of her important things in it.

"Let's see," she said to herself as she was cramming everything into her backpack, "swimsuit, mp3 player, sunglasses, oh! And my journal."

Ari's journal was old and worn. She had found it when she was little, in her attic. No matter how much she wrote, the pages never seemed to diminish.

"Well, now that I'm done packing," she said, "I might as well play one last game of 'Kingdom Hearts'."

Ari's aunt and uncle didn't own a Playstation 2, not even a computor, so she couldn't even e-mail her friends. She would only be able to talk to her friends by telephone, not a cordless one either.

Ari looked out her bedroom window. It was a dark, rainy night, with raindrops quietly knocking on her window.Her room was on the second floor of her house, looking over the quiet culdesac where she lived.

Ari slowly plopped on the floor, a mountain of pillows breaking her fall. Ari usually had a whole bunch of pillows on her floor, so she and her friends could hang out, or so she could be comfortable when she played playstation.

As soon as she sat down, she turned on her Playstation 2, hearing the familiar whirr of the machine. She checked her clock, 11:00 at night.

'Good', she thought, 'that gives me a good hour to play'.

She loaded her game of Kingdom Hearts and started playing, all the while yelling at the television.

"Ha ha! Take that you worthless scum! Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha! I will squash you all!"

If ayone had passed her house that night, they might have thought a crazy person lived there. But because no one did, no one thought it. That was what Ari figured, so she always acted the way she wanted.

Ari had finally finished her game, and she started to dance around her room as the music in the credits played.

Then, afew things happened at once. The screen on Ari's television went black, her Playstation 2 began to glow, a huge bolt of lightning flashed, and the clock struck midnight.

And then, Ari didn't know what happened, she blacked out, and she felt herself being sucked into a portal of endless light, and darkness.
