I understand the prologue needs fixing but I do plan on going back to revise that, thank you for the reviews.
It seems when I type this in Microsoft word it comes out to four pages but here it really expands the sentences out. Guess ill be adding a lot more content! Lol
Don't forget to favorite or leave me a review! It's greatly appreciated.

Chapter 1: The Beginning
Look; I should have never been in this mess, let alone even came here in the first place. Maybe I should start from the beginning of the story...
My name is Naminé; we're on a first name basis here. Anyways, I was a normal somewhat happy young adult- only twenty years of age - with a very good well-paid job, and attending college classes, of course. It's my last year, and once I graduate I'll be able to be a fully qualified artist! Being an artist is my dream job, but as of now I'm just a waitress until that happens.
Nevertheless, let's get into the better side of the story. My older sister Kairi, who was only a year older than me, was quite fond on always making me do everything, which is what I'm about to explain about. If it hadn't been for her, I wouldn't be in the mess that I'm into today.
"Nami! Quickly come here!" The redheaded girl called from the kitchen. "You don't understand it's important! Please!" Her loud and obnoxious voice kept ringing in the back of my head; I knew that she would keep this up until I walked her way and gave into her demands. proceeding to finally get up off the couch - I was in a comfortable spot and was grumpy that she had made me get up - I did exactly as she expected.
"What is it Kairi? You know it's my day off. I enjoy every da—" Sadly my sentence was cut short by a quick hug. She wouldn't let go either. Kairi never hugged me like this unless something had happened. "What is it this time? Did you win something else on the radio again?" Honestly, how much could this girl win? She had to be just straight up lucky. Or a leprechaun. She had the hair for it.
"No! Even better! You will not believe what I got in the mail today, and not only that! You're going with me!" She pulled away from the hug to see my face, probably expecting a look of excitement. Instead she was met with a look of confusion and perplexion.
"Hold on, go where? What did you possibly win? Wait; did you win a cruise of some kind? You know I hate boats... I get sea sick..." I quickly put my hand to my mouth at the thought of even getting seasick, but I simply pushed it aside and put my focus back toward the overly excited person that I call my sister.
"This is possibly a once in a lifetime chance! We have to pack, like, right now!" Kairi grabbed my hand and started to pull me along through our apartment going through every possible drawer in the house. "Oh my... what if we meet them? There's a slight possibility that we could!"
Pulling my arm back from her tight grasp around my wrist, I started to raise my voice, which rarely happens. "Cut it out! Now explain! What did you win, or what is it that has you so worked up?"
Kairi hates whenever I raise my voice because it makes her feel like the younger child in the family, which isn't true at all. If anything, Xion was, but that's another story.
"I... sorry. I guess I got a bit carried away." Scratching the back of her neck out of embarrassment, Kairi took a deep breath and calmed herself down so that she could start over. "My boss, you know the crazy one, since I improved the company and not only helped her expand it, she decided to give me a vacation. The best part is, she paid for it!" Kairi started to get all jumpy again until she saw the look I gave her, once again calming her down. "Although, the trip is over seas in a different country. She wants me, head assistance of the company, to head over to a kingdom called Centurion. She thinks that we can start our business over there and hopefully to expand it. Depending on how the trip goes and all the information I gather, I could possibly be the head of the company in Centurion! Just think me! Me as the head of the company!"
I know it's a bit confusing but her company is slowly becoming one of the top organizations in Lutz. Where we live. Anyways, her boss, Larxene, is one crazy lady. Like, psycho crazy. Being around her is why I think Kairi sometimes acts like her. The company is all about children of the world; they create all sorts of things for them, from clothes to toys, books, etc., but depending on your income would debate how much you would pay for these items.
"Kairi! That's wonderful, I can't believe you got that opportunity! We have to celebrate before you leave." I tried to get her off the track of taking me with her, I mean come on I still have a life here that I'm trying to achieve in. Plus I can't afford to miss classes now!
"You're so funny Naminé; you're coming with me, whether you like it or not. Larxene is paying for everything. Our plane will leave tomorrow afternoon." Kairi turned and ran to her room to start the packing of this very long journey.
"Wait! How long do we plan on staying there? You can't be serious!" I can't keep fighting against this girl or I'll never hear the end of it, especially if she misses the plane. "What am I going to tell my boss?! Not only that, I have school and I'm about to graduate! I definitely can't afford to miss now!"
"I already called your boss silly. It's all done. Plus, you can always finish your classes some other time, they aren't going anywhere." Kairi clearly yelled from her room, but not in a rude kind of way. "Trust me Naminé this means a lot if you're with me, maybe you can help me out with the company!"
"That's not my dream job Kairi, you know that." Which a quick shake of my head I walked towards her room and stood by the door. "You're insane, how could you say that 'they aren't going anywhere'?" I mocked her tone of voice and frowned. "I have a once in a lifetime chance to you know, let alone I don't want to repeat classes all of my life!"
"Maybe you can ask the teacher to give you an extension." Kairi turned to look in my direction, seeing that I was clearly upset with this fact. "Nami, we're going to another country, don't you think that there will be an artist there? Not only that, maybe you can learn a few things or meet someone famous!" Although she could be right, meeting someone that could also teach me something is quite a plus. Kairi could be very persuasive.
"I don't know. What do I even say to my teacher?" I noticed that my sister already had her phone in her hand and was dialing a number. "What are you doing?! You don't even know his number!"
"Simple, I can call the front desk and they can give me the extension, silly. You don't know very mu- Oh, hello. I was wondering if you could give me the extension to the Art department? You can? Great!" She stuck her tongue out at me, showing that she was winning this battle. "Hi Mr. Tretolo, this is Kairi, Naminé's sister, I was wondering if you could give her an extension for the class or somethi- what? No I have a reason." Heh, she won't be able to convince him. "I got a trip to go overseas to Centurion and I really need Naminé to tag along, which is why I'm asking." I looked at her face and noticed a huge smile as he replied on the other end of the telephone. "You will? Thank you so much! She'll be sure to bring something back for you." With that said, she hung up the phone.
"Don't tell me that… he actually agreed to it." I put my hand to my face, face palming myself. I can't believe that I actually lost this battle; Now I really do have to go! Gah!
"Yes he did! Although you do have to bring something back to show your artistic ability. So you better start learning something while you're there!" That annoying redhead of a sister started going back to what she did before.
"I guess I'll start helping as much as I can for now." Sighing, I turned knowing that I'd have to get packing as well. My voice showed no emotion. "What time does the plane arrive...?"
"5pm, since there will be a huge time difference. By the way, there's one more thing I didn't mention." Her red hair appeared at her door frame as she peered out towards the back of my head.
With slight motion, I looked over my shoulder. "And what is that? Do we have to dress up in costumes or something? Haven't you won enough?"
"The Kingdom of Centurion has Princes! Imagine if we get to meet them, I've already looked all of them up! They're so cute you have no idea!" Her voice started to get a bit higher than usual when she talked about guys. It was like the squeal of a small child when they saw ice cream. "Imagine if there's a ball! They still do those things nowadays right?"
"Kairi, just finish packing. You can worry about all of that later on." Princes? Now I knew that this trip was going to be insane. Not only must I deal with Kairi but also I know I'll have to deal with all of those other fan girls. When can I get a break? "You sure got yourself a storm coming, Naminé..." I spoke lightly to myself before heading to my room to pack and sleep for the last night here. I might as well enjoy my last night of sanity.
