Ok, so this it based off the intro of Kingdom Hearts II. No I didn't make any of the characters up, or the place or any of that. So know that that's straighten out, enjoy!

Dawn broke. However possible it was for dawn to break in Twilight Town, it did. The light showered over the town, tempting the inhabitants to open their eyes and wake up. In a mish mashed room, a teenager creaked open his eyes. He sat up and tiredly rubbed his eyes. He glanced at a calendar in his room and took note of the date. Monday, he hated Monday. He didn't mind it so much in the summer but it was school time and that meant of course, going to school. He looked at the calendar with a small frown then threw off the covers. He wasn't going to do it.

The teen rushed around the room, getting dressed. First his gray and black pants, then he zipped up his black shirt and put on a white jacket over that. He tugged on his checkered sweatband onto his wrist, and then hunted for his shoes. As he past a mirror he glanced into it and brushed his blond hair with his fingers. He found his shoes and put them on, heading for the door. He glanced at his room and shut the door firmly on the way out. He wasn't going to stand for it any more.

He looked at his backpack on the other side of the door and picked it up. Then, he turned it over and let the books fall out. He went to the refrigerator and put some food inside his now empty backpack. Then he went to the pantry for bottled water and other food that would last longer. He filled it to the top and grabbed what he had of his munny. He had to get away.

For a long time now he had been thinking about escaping. Escaping school, escaping this town, getting away from the normality he knew and just getting away. It was like he was trapped, and the only way he could escape was to leave behind everything he knew and run away. He just couldn't stand it anymore. He was going to escape from the cage he was in. So he went.

Outside he found his skateboard and started toward the train station. It might not be easy but he was going to hop a train and find his way out of here. He had heard this rumor about a certain train…

"Roxas!"

The teenager stopped the skateboard and looked around to see who had called his name. He found two fellow teens running toward him, one a boy, the other a girl. The girl had brown gently curled hair and smiling brown eyes while the boy had darker blond hair with a definite camouflage theme in his clothes. Roxas turned to them and smiled, sort of.

"Hi Hayner. 'Morning Olette", He told them routinely.

"Hey Roxas, Where are you going? The school's this way", Olette asked, tilting her head in a way only girls could make cute.

"And if you're ditching, it's not fair to leave me out of it!" Hayner said with a joking frown.

Roxas smiled and said, "You know if I did that I'd take you with me." He paused a moment then said a bit quieter, "I just forgot that I needed to buy some stuff for the project in class today. I completely forgot about it and didn't buy some of the materials I needed. I'll grab it real quick and see you guys at school, ok?"

The two teens nodded and started off, without knowing their friend was lying to them. Roxas watched them go, and then started toward the train station. Good-bye Hayner, Olette. Don't hate me for running away. As he thought this he couldn't help but cry. It was hard, but it was something he had to do. Someday, I hope you both understand.

The train station loomed before him, ominous and foreboding. As he stared up at it he frowned. He couldn't just be seen buying a ticket that would cause all sorts of problems. He was going to have to sneak on one.

So he did. He expected to have some trouble, but it didn't happen. He just got on a train, and he went off. It only took him to another part of Twilight Town, so he wasn't out of the woods yet. Plus, things were about to get difficult.

He got out of the train station and stopped short. In front of him were two policemen, chatting to each other. Roxas quickly went behind a pillar and started to go around them both, over hearing the conversation as he snuck away.

"Strange business that."

"Yep. Never expected that Roxas kid to ditch."

"I still think they called it ditching a might bit to early."

"That's not what his friends said. Fortunately they were worried enough to fess up when they did."

"I suppose you're right. In any event we'd better talk to the train station. Maybe-"

Roxas shut the door behind him. Then he started running. He couldn't fail, he just couldn't. It was like the whole world was his cage now. The world he knew. Well nothing would stop him. Actually one thing would stop him, but the end of the world only happened once.

Roxas had stopped running by now, fortunately for him, since another policeman came from around the corner. If he had been running he would have run into him and he wouldn't have been able to duck into the convenient ally he was next to. It was strange he was so lucky today. Strange that was his last thought before a ball hit him in the head and knocked him out.

When Roxas woke up he had no idea what time it was. It was kind of hard since Twilight Town had the same light no matter what time of day it was. However he figured it was past noon since hunger pains poked him. He pushed them away as he peeked out of the ally. No one was around, lucky for him. He started off again giving a glance to the brick wall at the end of the ally. Strange.

On top of the hill, Roxas could see all of twilight town. Every part of the world he knew and loved. Well, at least he used to love it. Now it was a prison he had to escape from, and he knew how to do it too. There was a strange train they said came by with no one on it. That would never stop at the station. No conductor and no passengers were ever one it. That was his way out.

"Stop!"

A policeman was running up the hill to catch him. Roxas shook his head. He couldn't, not now. Not when he was so close. He started backing up and hit the rail over the track. He turned around and saw a strange purple train coming toward him. Perfect.

"Hey there, what do you think you're doing?" The policeman was getting closer but he was clearly frightened. Roxas was balancing himself on the railing.

"Escaping", He said in a level voice.

"Take it easy, you don't need to go down there. Just don't do anything you might regret."

Roxas watched the train come closer and closer until he said loud enough for the man to hear, "That's exactly why I have to do this" Then he stepped off and left everything behind.

It was hard actually getting in the train. He couldn't use the door and most of the windows were shut. The one that was open was a pretty tight fit and it was rather hard when you had to worry about falling down to your doom, or at least a pretty nasty fall. After some near misses (and a taking off his shoes) he squeezed in side. The first thing he did was look around. It was perfectly light and fairly nice, but it was also eerie not to see anyone else around. He went up to see if the part about having no conductor was true, then jumped back in surprise.

"Hello"

A girl with light blond hair sat in the conductor's seat, playing with a blue hat, obviously not hers. She had blue eyes that were fairly childish and a simple white dress that made her look, well,simple and clean.

"Sorry, I was just a bit startled. Who are you?"

"My name is Namine. You're Roxas, right?"

"How did you-"

"Never mind that. You want to get out of here, yes?"

Roxas said that he would very much like to get out of this place.

"Good. Now look outside."

He glanced out the window and gasped. The universe was swirling around him. Stars and planets whirled around spinning in the eternal dance and moving to the beat of the eternal requiem. A comet went by and glittering ice was flung free to dance on its own. Binary stars danced with their partners, forever true. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. And it was at this moment that he knew he was free.

He woke up. Dawn was breaking over twilight town, if dawn could ever break in this place. Roxas sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes and glanced at the calendar. Tuesday, he never really liked Tuesday. It was too close to Monday and not close enough to Friday. He had to get away…

On the screen Roxas looked a bit faded, but still clear. The man looking at the screen was writing something down in a notebook glancing at the figure of Roxas every once in a while. He pulled out a tape recorder and turning it on, speaking clearly into it.

"Day 73. As before he seems to be intent on escaping from life. He seems to have extraordinary luck if he has 'got away' 72 times. Perhaps today we can introduce new factors that could possibly shake him. Now-"

"Daddy!" Namine tugged on her father's lab coat, looking up at him with perfectly sorrowful eyes. She tried again, hoping he would play with her.

"Not now sweetie, Daddy has work." He rewound the tape recorder and started again starting with 'Day 73'. Namine started to tear up and ran to a corner of the unfeeling metallic room. Tears rolled down her face and landed with a soft 'plop' on the metal floor, making her sadness echo. She hit the wall with her fist, making no noise at all.

It's not fair! She thought with agony. It wasn't even that her Daddy wouldn't play with her. It was him. It was the boy on the screen. I want to help him. It is so cruel to trap him like this. He doesn't even know he's free from what he is running from, and trapped in walls he can't see. She looked at her father and then cried again. It was hard; since everyone she knew was trapped in walls they couldn't see. She was different though. She could see her walls.
