It had been over two years since they had journeyed into the Kingdom Hearts world. The adventure had bonded Kristen and Amanda closer together, and had made everyday life for Melissa and Stella quite dull. It affected all of them. They missed the constant fighting, and the ventures that came along with each world.
They were waiting for Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories to come out. They didn't even know if their plan was going to work, their adventure may have been a fluke with the game, and this one was on the Gameboy SP. But they still had to try.
They had gathered at Melissa's house this time, and it was the day that the game had come out. As they heard a soft knocking on the door, Amanda rushed and pulled it open, dragging the person inside and shutting the door quickly as if the guest were being followed.
"Geez, if I hadn't known you for so long, I would say you were crazy." Amanda looked at the guest, who was clutching her bag and raising an eyebrow. It was Avalon, an old friend of Amanda's. She was a bit shorter than normal height, and had short dark brown hair and brown eyes.
"Well, I kinda am." Amanda scratched the back of her head. She wasn't really so sure why she was so excited about playing the game, she had no one to look forward to seeing, but she still wanted to go back.
"Whatever." Avalon shook her head. She began to walk down the hallway and into the room that the other girls were in. "Shall we?"
Since Avalon and everyone else had forgotten to bring their SPs to Melissa's house, it was left to Melissa to find her SP. The only problem was that she lost it, so she and Stella were on a mission to find it in her room.
Avalon stood in the middle of the room, looking at the chaos that had been caused by looking for the SP. "What's gotten into you guys?" She asked, pulling out the game.
Kristen yawned, sitting on Melissa's bed. "Really. We'll get there at the beginning anyway. Just like last time."
Stella glared at Kristen, who shrugged.
"What's going on you guys? I know you're a little off, but this is ridiculous." Avalon sat next to Kristen.
"Found it!" Melissa held the SP up proudly, and ran to sit on the bed.
"I'm serious." Everyone halted as Avalon spoke. It was one of those moments where she had that evil look that sent chills down her victim's spines.
Stella fingered the charm that was on her necklace. "Remember when we told you that story about us going into Kingdom Hearts, and our adventures there?"
"You mean during vacation?" Avalon leaned back, thinking. "Oh yeah, that silly story that was like a spin-off of Kingdom Hearts."
"It's real. That's where we got these charms."
"I thought you got them at a jewelry store?"
Kristen sighed in exasperation. "No. You said we got it there. Listen. This might be our only chance to see them again."
Avalon whispered something unintelligible, and gave Melissa the game. Melissa put it into her SP, and everyone gathered together to see the screen.
The normal intro to the SP(saying Gameboy and making a bing noise) showed on the screen, and the four of them sighed sadly. Avalon smirked, but noticed the screen turn white and stay that way. Slowly words began to form on the screen.
Welcome back, those who helped the key. Your journey has yet to end. Do you wish to continue it?
"That's not. . . how the game starts. Is it?" Avalon looked over at her friends, who smiled.
"It's not." Kristen looked at the screen intently. "Would you like to join us?"
"I'd be dumb if I didn't." Avalon grabbed Amanda's hand, noticing how the others linked hands.
"We wish to continue our journey." Melissa said to the screen, smiling.
The screen turned back into whiteness, and it slowly began to seep into the room, surrounding the girls. When the light finally subsided, the SP fell onto the bed, closed. There were no other traces of the girls, for they were
