Chapter 1

Falling, it was how it all began. It truly is all I can say about how my life got turned upside down. My name is Daniel, or it was till about a month ago. I had what you would call an average life. I went to school, I hung out with my friends, I even had a girlfriend…or I should say I wanted her to be my girlfriend.

Let me tell you about my life before this mess started. My 3 biggest obsessions were Harry Potter, Naruto and of course Kingdom Hearts. I had played for what would seem like most of my life, when it had only been 1 year. My friend Larry and I had use to make stories of what we would do if we could go into Kingdom Hearts.

Little did we know, we were about to get our wish!

One afternoon, Larry had come over to hang out. We were planning on playing Kingdom Hearts or to build our dream Keyblades. While we were playing in The World That Never Was, I felt an odd feeling near my heart, when Sora and Kairi were reunited. It was a longing for that moment to happen to me with the girl I like. One of my best friends, Elizabeth, or Liz as I called her, had moved away almost five years ago. It was hard, but we still kept in touch, had seen each other once or twice, but it took a couple hundred miles to make me realize, that I loved her.

I kept watching the cut scene, as soon as Sora, Riku and Kairi were united, the screen turned black. We both rose immediately.

Larry shouted, "What the fuck happened here?"

"Who knows, maybe the TV died."

As soon as I said that, seven glowing red letters appeared on the TV:

"Are you ready for the true adventure?"

Larry and I looked at each other and nodded. We walked slowly over to the screen and let the darkness engulf us.

I was falling, I knew it. If Larry was their or not, I did not know.

SPLASH

I hit the water like a bullet. It felt both sharp and refreshing at the same time. I knew I had landed, I just did not know where. Suddenly, I heard a voice, maybe more. One was louder than all the others, "Riku… Riku is that you?"

Riku, no it couldn't be, I wasn't, could I? That was all going through my head. The voice, it sounded a lot like... I lifted my head up, IT WAS. Kairi, Wakka, Tidus and Selphie were at the edge of the Island staring at me!

I stood up, knowing it would be worse to give them any hope that it was Riku.

"Sorry, I'm not Riku, my names Daniel" was all I could say to them. Kairi looked as though she was about to cry, it hurt to look. I walked over to her and wiped the tear off, "Don't worry; he'll turn up sooner or later Miss."

Kairi laughed, "My name is Kairi, this is Wakka, Selphie and that is Tidus."

"Pleased to meet you."

I looked up at the sky, the sun was just setting. I could not believe the beauty of Destiny Islands, I looked around and ran for the Paupu Tree, where this all began. I jumped and sat down right where Sora use to sit. It was all so much to think of. If Larry were here to see this site…

"Larry!!!!!"

Kairi jumped, "Who's Larry, a friend?"

"Yeah, one of the best. I wonder how he's doing now. Did you see any other stars falling?"

"No."

"Oh, OK, I'll just have to go find him." Larry would kill me if he saw what I was doing. I was laughing, while he was probably surrounded by heartless.

"Do you happen to have a wooden sword I could use for the night Miss Kairi?"

"Just Kairi, and sure, but why?"

"To practice, and for safety reasons." I had a funny feeling I was being watched, but by what, I did not know.

Kairi left to get the sword, which left me to watch the sun set and the stars to shine. I remembered what Kairi will say "one sky, one destiny." What was my point, and when would my destiny start.

"Here" I heard Kairi throw the sword down. "I have to go, see you later, Daniel."

She ran off, crying. Why? I had no idea why.

"Well, well, well what is the matter boy?" The voice was familiar, I turned to see Axel staring at me, and this my friends, is where it all began.
