Le: Sorry, this chapter is a bit slow, but it's where Luna just learns where her place will be in the lives of her new friends. For now. 8D And this chapter will have more than just Luna's P.O.V. in it; there'll be some Sora and Roxas in it. :D Word of warning, it goes from first person to third.

Chapter 2

After four hours of shopping, I am too tired to shop for more; and if that's not bad enough, Kairi is complaining about my color choice in clothing. I wonder if this will trigger my headache again. Luckily, Xion and Namine step in for me-"Not everyone likes pink as much as you!" and "Give her a rest, she's got her own favorite color.". I silently thank them as we walk to Sora and Roxas's house. The other three chat away about what they are going to do over the weekend-I learn that it is Friday-and whether it should be all girls or just the whole group. I'm not really paying attention until Xion says something to me. I turn around.

"Sorry, what was that?" I say.

"I said, 'You'd better be prepared for some surprises when you get to the twins' house," she repeats, smiling. "Oh! And here's the map to our house; we're all sisters, so you'll find our name under 'Nakamura'. And the twins are under 'Shimizu'." She hands me a folded paper. I take it graciously. "And Riku is under 'Ishikawa'."

"Any luck?" says Namine soflty, and I know what she means immediately. She's referring to my memories.

"No; I don't know my own last name, and it sucks," I tell her. Xion laughs softly. "I guess we all have our own little things to do, don't we?" This becomes our new conversation topic, and for once I join in.

Apparently, Xion likes swimming and collecting seashells, and Namine loves drawing. Kairi is so indecisive that there is a silence in the group for at least a full minute while she tries to decide. We talk about what we love best about our favorite things, and smile and relate to each other.

Was this how it was for me and my friends, if I had any? Did we laugh like this together, did we enjoy conversations like this together? A part of my mind says no. The other part is not so sure.

"What about you?" asks Kairi after they have all shared. I stare at the ground, and try my best to think of the few shards of my past I might yet have. I see a sharp stick lying at my feet, and I pick it up.

"I don't know." The words pass my lips just as I throw the stick, and it finds its way into a nearby tree. There is a fly skewered neatly at the tip, and it's still alive. Just stuck to the tree by the tip of one of its wings. I'm not shocked; I did aim.

"Wow!" exclaims Xion. "That was amazing! How did you do that?"

I shrug. "I aimed. No big deal." But from the look on the other girls' faces, apparently it is.

"No big deal? Luna, you just pinned a fly to a tree with an unused stick and you hardly even looked! That is not something you call 'no big deal'!" Kairi's eyes are the size of small moons.

"Maybe you were someone who worked with weapons?" says Namine thoughtfully. I'm taken aback by the question. Could I have?

"Let's find out," I say indifferently. I grab an equally sharp stick from the ground and hurl it at the other one. The other stick is split right down the center and the fly is still unharmed. I look at the group expectantly. They gape at me. Then Xion's phone rings to a familiar tune, and she answers it.

"Hello? Oh, Sora. Yeah, we're almost there. We got a bit sidetracked. No, it's fine. Okay, see you in a few." She hangs up. "That was Sora; he was getting worried about us."

"What, does he think we got kidnapped?" My response brings on a bit of laughter. All thoughts of my stick-throwing have vanished from the others. "And besides, with me here, there's no way any one of us is going anywhere!" A new memory appears in my head.

"…not going anywhere! I'll always be here to protect you, Theo. Remember that."

The person in the memory is me talking. I ponder my thoughts when Kairi exclaims, "I can see the sun setting! We need to get you to Sora's before it sets so you can see it too, Luna!" She yanks my arm and then we're all running in the direction of the twins' house.

Xion was right. The house is barely two minutes away from where we were watching me throw sticks. As we get there, Namine sprints ahead and throws open the gate to the front yard. Xion and Kairi steer me to the front door and ring the doorbell. They leave my stuff with me, say a quick "Goodbye!" and run off. I am left alone with my bags as Sora opens the front door.

"Oh! Luna!" He pulls me into a sudden embrace, which I'm not expecting and am definitely not prepared for. "I thought something bad had happened to you!" When he pulls away from me, he can see that my face is completely flushed. He lets go of me instantly. "Sorry," he says sheepishly. I can only manage a faint smile.

"W-well, I have all my new stuff," I say, trying to break the awkward silence that has fallen over us. I lift up my three bags of new clothes.

"O-oh! Right!" he says, a bit too loudly. He takes two of the bags and lets me inside the house. I pick up the remaining bag and walk in.

Inside the house, it's so much bigger than the outside lets on. There is a huge ceiling far above my head and glamorous stairs to my right. To my left is an elaborate dining room and ahead is a kitchen. As Sora walks in behind me, I say, "Wow! What a gorgeous house!"

"You think so? Thank you!" he says graciously, beginning to walk up the stairs to where I'll be staying. "Leave that last bag there; I'll come back for it. Roxas should be in the kitchen!" he calls down to me. I nod and put down my luggage. I'm worrying about whether or not to remove my shoes when Roxas pops his head around the corner of the kitchen wall.

"You're here!" he says brightly. I nod and walk towards the kitchen. The wooden floor is a glossy almond color and the walls of the house are a soft cream. My mind spins as I think about how much this home might have cost.

"Your house is amazing," I tell Roxas as I sit down at the kitchen table. "What do you guys do for a living?" I rest my head on my hands.

"I'm a professional skateboarder, and Sora is a singer and a drummer. But I sing sometimes too, so that rakes in a lot more." Roxas has his back turned to me; he must be fixing something to eat.

"Oh. Wow." I stare at his back, wondering what my job was, or still might be. Nothing comes to mind, and I sigh in defeat. Then I remember what Kairi said to me, and I ask Roxas, "Kairi said something about watching the sunset before I got here, so could you tell me when that is..?"

"Oh!" Roxas whips around and plants his hands on the table and I jump a little in my seat. "Yeah! We need to take you to see it!" He runs into the hall and sprints up the stairs and I'm left staring at where he was standing. I feel unprepared to be here. Maybe living with the two brothers was too much to try?

But as Roxas and Sora come skidding to a halt in the kitchen, I know that it's my only choice. Unless I want to walk around in the streets looking like a creeper.

I have the words to ask the brothers when we leave on the tip of my tongue, but suddenly each twin grabs one of my arms and lifts me up out of my seat. Roxas snatches something from the counter and then I am pulled through the hallway, into the garage and then tossed into the back seat of a car. Sora takes the wheel and Roxas rides shotgun, and then we are pulling out of the garage into the street and down towards the water.

"Hey, hey, hey! What the heck was that for?" I buckle my seatbelt and grab the headrests of the two front seats. "Really! I just got to your house and then you drag me outside like that!"

"Sorry! Did we offend you?" asks Roxas, who turns around and looks at me with a concerned gaze.

"No, just warn me next time," I say irritably. I sit back in my seat. "I've already seen the sunset, you know. It's not so special now."

"Yeah, you have, but you haven't watched it while eating sea-salt ice cream, and besisdes, you were too out of it to appreciate its true beauty." Sora looks into the rearview mirror and grins at me. I stick out my tongue playfully, but remember the incident well enough.

"So was that bag full of sea-salt ice cream?"

"Yup. Best eaten watching the sun set." Roxas grins and holds the bag of ice cream up for me to see.

"Is this a regular routine for you?"

"Yeah." The twins answer simultaneously.

"Wow." I have no more questions to ask, so I stare out the car window. I can see seagulls flying overhead, waves rocking side to side, and the island, sitting alone in all its solitude.

Then a question forms in my mind; something not related to the sunset. "Why do you guys live here, in the Destiny Islands, if you're such big-shots that could be living in the city?"

"We used to live there," says Roxas solemnly. "But there were some incidents that happened there."

"Like what?" I ask.

"There were these two groups of people in the city, kind of fighting over control. Sort of like gangs. But one of the groups was good and was trying to stop the other from killing innocents for sport. Things got really dangerous, so we moved." Sora stares at the road ahead.

"Oh." I suddenly feel bad for asking, but at the same time I know that what Sora has told me is not everything he knows. I won't ask; it's not polite.

"Ah! Here we are!" says Roxas a few minutes later. I am startled by the sound of his voice; the car had been silent since I last spoke. He gets out of the car and opens my door for me. I step out into the breezy air of the ocean. Down below us is a dock and Kairi, Xion, Namine, Riku, and Theo are waiting for us. Roxas hands me the sea-salt ice cream and tells me to go down. The steps down to the water seem steep, and I swear I almost trip going down. When I reach the dock, I am greeted with smiles and warm "hello's".

"Er, what should I do with this?" I say awkwardly, holding the bag of ice cream out in front of me.

"I'll take that!" says Xion cheerfully. I hand her the bag and turn to Theo, who was silent while the others greeted me.

"Why, hello," I say in a monotone voice. He looks at me and shrugs. "Oh, no hello? I see, you don't think I deserve one," I say, forming a fake pout on my face. He doesn't take it, I know, but he just grins and gives me an enormous hug. I hug him back and when we pull away, I poke his chest. "Took you long enough."

"Yeah, you too," he says, and I punch his arm good-naturedly.

"Sorry, I'm probably ruining the moment, but we need to get to the island faster than this!" calls Riku. We turn around and I glare at him, and proceed to the boat. I step in and as soon as Theo's seated, we push away from the shore. As the boat glides towards the island, I can hear water sloshing along the sides of the wooden hull. Leaning over the water, I can catch a glimpse of tons of fish and sea creatures down below us. Theo leans over too. He says to me, "Watch out for sharks."

"Like I would be stupid enough to let one get me," I reply.

"The two of you really like arguing, don't you?" asks Roxas. I nod, my gaze now fixed on the horizon.

((Time is sped up. . . . . .))

I'm the first one out of the boat and as I step onto the land that I washed ashore at, I feel very lost and naïve. But I guess that's because I'm here at the place where I might have lost everything. I hesitate to keep moving as the others leave the boat, but they wave me on, so I leave the dock. Once my feet hit the sand, I have the urge to run for my own amusement. Before I know it I am changing from a walk to a jog and finally a full-on sprint. I hear laughter from the others; are they laughing at me? Even if they are, I don't care. It feels so good to be free to run and move around, to feel the wind against my neck.

"Luna!" calls Sora. I stop and turn to look at him, panting. He points to a small sub-island that is connected to the main one by a wooden bridge. I see him mouth the words "up there". There is a curved palm-tree like plant that hangs over the edge, so if I can just get ahold of that…

I sprint towards the sub-island and jump up to grasp the edge. I dangle there for a moment before I'm able to propel myself towards the tree trunk and get a firm grip. I haul myself up and find myself staring at an immensely beautiful sunset. Out of instinct, I walk around to the front of the tree and sit on part of the trunk, waiting for the others to come up and join me.

They do, but they come from behind. I jump up when Theo places a hand on my shoulder. "Where did you come from?" I gasp. He grins.

"There's a door to get up here that's at the other end of the bridge. You didn't have to climb." He looks like he is trying to cover up a laugh.

"It was faster to climb!" I counter, folding my arms and looking away. "Besides, I felt more inclined to climb."

"Suit yourself. Riku and the others were pretty shocked about your performance, though. You've got some explaining to do." Theo seats himself at my feet.

"Why don't you sit up here?"

"I felt more inclined to sit on the ground." I kick his arm. "Ow!"

"You're such a butthead, you know?" I say to him.

"I love you too, Luna," is his reply. I can't help but laugh.

Once the others reach the tree I am handed my own ice cream. I inspect it very closely, holding the popsicle-like form in my hand. "Eat it before it melts," says Roxas, and so I do. The taste is like nothing I can remember, which isn't a lot. The cream is sweet and refreshing but the salty taste snaps at my senses.

"This is really good! Where did you learn about this stuff?" I say, licking away at the treat.

"We ate it all the time in the city; when we moved out here, we sponsored a shop for the stuff so we could eat it again." Sora is concentrating on the sunset as he speaks to me.

'Well, it's awesome stuff," says Theo. I murmur my agreement as I wolf down the last bits of popsicle. As I finish, I pass my popsicle stick to Namine, who's collecting the trash. I stare into the sunset. Sora was right. With a stomach full of sea-salt ice cream, the sunset is far more appealing and beautiful. I turn to make a comment to Roxas, but I turn and see that he is holding Namine. And smiling.

For some reason, I feel wounded. I try to shake away the feeling, but it stays. I look towards the others. They are all fixated on the sunset, even Theo. They wouldn't notice if I slipped away to ponder my thoughts…

I swing my legs over the tree trunk and turn my back to the sunset. I leap off the tree and the sub-island all at once. My feet land with a splosh in the water below. I waste no time in running up to the edge of the beach, to the trees further inland, and finally to a thick tree that looks good for climbing. I plant my hands on the sturdy trunk, searching for places to grip onto. My right hand finds a hold quickly, and not long after so does my left hand. Gripping the handholds, I begin my ascent to the tree's branches.

As I weave my way up the tree, I hear shouts from the shore that tell me Theo and the gang have noticed my absence. Like I'll go back right now; I'm almost to the top of the tree. And besides, I'm not ready to face them all with the feelings I have bottled up inside of me.

Finally I grab my first branch. I use it to pull me up and then use other branches surrounding it to climb up even higher. My mind is flooded with more memories:

"You're like a monkey! If you hair was brown, then that would be my permanent nickname for you!"

"You'll kill yourself if you aren't careful. So if you do, I'm not responsible."

Apparently I was a good climber. I grab the next branch and hear the others calling my name frantically below. I let out a loud laugh, partially to let them know I'm here, and partially because it's fun to elude them like this. More shouts tell me they heard the laugh.

I'm almost at the top of the tree. The foliage becomes thicker as I climb further. At one branch, I am intercepted by a flock of birds. I wait for them to fly away, but they stay there, almost as if they're expecting me to do something. Almost unknowingly, I begin to sing.

You raise me up so I can stand on mountains,

You raise me up to walk on stormy seas,

I am strong when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be…

The birds wait a few moments before whistling my tune. I smile, my mission accomplished. I swing up another branch and another until my head breaks through the thick leaves into the sky.

The world seems puny from my view. I can see the main island where my new friends reside and the dock where we left. The island I'm on suddenly seems very small beneath me, with the ground hundreds of feet below. But I'm not afraid. I love the feeling I get when I take risks. I think.

"Luna!"

"Luna! Where are you?"

"Luna! We need to know you're okay!"

That was Roxas's voice. I hesitate from laughing again. He is concerned about me?

"LUNA! Get out here already, you lazy but!"

Theo. Of course he'd use insults to get me to come out of hiding.

"Well then come find me!" I yell back indignantly. I clap my hands to my mouth. There goes my nirvana. "Well, good bye peace," I whisper to my surroundings. I let myself fall through the branches beneath me, catching myself by my knees tens of feet below. I swing gracefully around and find a small knife at my throat.

"Trying to kill ourselves now, are we?" asks Theo, a smile playing at his lips. I reach out and snatch the knife away.

"Nah, just trying to cause heart attacks for the people who think I am." I twirl the knife between my fingers, still hanging upside down. "You follow me?" He nods. "Where'd you get this? It's nice and smooth and light," I say, holding out the knife.

"It's a knife I found in a store with Riku. I asked him if I could get it, and he said that I could. I figured you'd like it," he says indifferently.

"How?" I ask suspiciously.

He shrugs. "Dunno, just instinct. You want it?"

"Oh, yes! Anything to keep you from seeming like a murderer!" I say excitedly. I hold the knife closer to me, swing out from my branch, and begin falling to lower branches. I land feet first on a branch not too far from the open tree trunk. I look for a foothold and begin climbing down.

When I reach the ground, I take a step forward and fall through a gap in the earth. Shrieking, I tumble down into a cave of smooth gray stone. My back is sore when I reach the bottom, and as I stand up I take in my surroundings. The walls are covered with drawings. Some are crude stick figures with blobs for heads, while others look like they were done by an expert's hand. I run my fingers gingerly over one that seems to be newer; it's a picture of Roxas. And this person with him; it's Namine. I retreat from the stone, suddenly feeling cold. But then Sora comes around a corner of the cave, from what I can only assume was the entrance.

"Oh, good. You're safe!" he exclaims, his face breaking into a smile. I smile weakly back at him.

"I fell…through the roof," I say sheepishly, holding my arm to balance myself. "I just got out of the tree and I stepped in that hole." I point to the gap in the ceiling.

"Oh, we should probably take care of that," he says, rubbing the back of his head. "Well, come on the others are waiting for us." He holds out a hand to me, and I take it, finding comfort in another human being's presence.

The sun has gone down completely when I exit the cave. Sora begins to talk about what they did when I was noticed to be missing. They first thought I'd left for the boat, but when I wasn't there, they searched the wooden structures for me. When I was still missing, they went and looked for me further inland, and then they heard me laugh. After that they heard me yell at Theo, but then they had lost me. "And I found you!" says Sora cheerfully. I refrain from telling him Theo found me first. He still holds my hand as we approach the others. "She's right here!" he announces to the group, holding my hand up in the air.

"Thank goodness!" says Kairi, and she pulls me into a friendly hug.

"Ack, Kairi, you're squishing me!" I say, my voice muffled.

"Oh! Sorry!" she exclaims, pulling back from me. I just smile.

"Where were you, Luna?" asks Roxas, and the moment he speaks all the feelings I had assumed were gone come right back up.

"I-I-" I stutter.

"You..?" Sora's voice is encouraging.

"I was trying to see if I was any good at climbing stuff; it felt like something I would do, or try!" I blurt out. Then Theo comes around the corner.

"Yup, so you decided to give us all heart attacks while we tried to find you?" he comments sarcastically. I pick up a small pebble at my feet and throw it at the back of his head, which is now turned away from me. "Hey!" he exclaims when it hits. I let go of Sora's hand and turn my back to him defiantly.

"Time to go, guys, I'm tired." Namine stretches her arms in the air. Riku nods and we head back to the boat. My head is still boiling with irritation towards Theo and what I can only guess is jealousy towards Namine when I see Roxas holding her hand as they walk down the beach to the boat. As some kind of delayed response, I reach out and grab the nearest person's hand with my right: it's Sora's hand. He looks startled but doesn't complain, so we walk down to the boat together in silence.

((Time is sped up. . . . . .))

As Sora drives the car back to their place, I take it upon myself to ask them all kinds of questions. Who's the older twin: Roxas. How long they've been living at the Destiny Islands: four years. How long they've been living alone: since they were sixteen. Where they were born: Twilight City, which isn't surprising. What their favorite foods are: Roxas loves sea-salt ice cream and Sora loves eating paopu fruit. What they think of my condition: Roxas thinks I have amnesia and Sora thinks I had my memory wiped. Whether or not they think I'll ever fully recover: Sora says yes; Roxas says nothing.

By the time we pull into the twins' driveway, my mind is practically drained of questions. Sora opens my door for me and helps me into the house, while Roxas locks up the car and closes the garage.

"You're tired; it must be from your condition," says Sora gently, once I'm inside the house. He helps me onto a couch. I shake my head, but I'm just denying it.

"I'm… fine. I just need… some rest." My speech is broken by several yawns, and Sora smile in amusement. I close my eyes, even though I am fighting the urge to sleep with all my might. My mind drifts off and I know I'm asleep when I see my family's faces again.

Sora and Roxas P.O.V.

Luna fell asleep almost immediately after denying that she was tired. Sora stopped her head from falling onto the couch by bracing her fall with his shoulder. She sighed in her sleep, and Sora couldn't help but smile when he saw her sleeping face.

"She's so much more angelic when she's asleep, isn't she?" Roxas entered the living room, stretching. He sat down in another chair across from Sora and Luna.

Sora nodded. "She's such an interesting girl. I guess I'll be glad to have her as a roommate." He looked at Luna, who was beginning to breathe a bit more slowly.

"Sora, do you know where she was when she went missing?" asked Roxas, his voice full of inquiry. He leaned forward. "You were the one who found her after all."

"All I know is that she climbed that one big tree in the middle of the island. And that she fell down the hole in the ceiling of the cave." Sora put his hand on Luna's. "She was looking at a picture when I found her. I think it was that one of you and Namine."

"Hmmm? Oh, that one." Roxas sat back into the chair. "She does seem interesting. She's pretty inquisitive, too. She asked a bunch of questions in the car. I don't know, though, about her problem."

"C'mon, Roxas, you've gotta have more faith than that. She needs the support. I should take her upstairs now; she'll get cold down here." Sora placed his arm around Luna's back and stood up. He lifted her up off the couch and began walking up the stairs to her new room. Roxas followed not too far behind. "She's not that heavy, now that I think about it." Sora found this comforting as he continued to carry her.

"Well, that's good to know, I guess. Y'know, she's not wearing her pajamas. Think we should just leave her in her normal clothes?" Roxas asked, not wanting to violate Luna's privacy.

"Yeah, I'm for it. I'm not a pervert," answered Sora. Roxas laughed. "Just hope she sleeps well; don't want to be bad hosts."

"Right." Roxas went into Luna's bedroom and flipped on the lights. He walked over to the bed and pulled back the blankets. "Put her down, Sora. She'll be fine after that."

"Sure. I'll take off her shoes." Sora placed Luna gently on her bed and removed her boots with ease. He folded the blankets over her and was about to leave when he felt a hand grab the back of his shirt. He turned around and saw Luna gazing at him, eyes wide, holding onto his shirt. When he tried to walk away, Luna just yanked harder. So Sora gave in and sat next to her on the bed.

"Sora?" called Roxas from outside Luna's room.

"I'll be out there, just give me a few minutes," Sora called back. He looked at Luna, who was now asleep again. He couldn't help but stare at her face. He remembered how she had taken his hand when they walked home from the beach; what had she meant by that?

"Sora?" Roxas walked into Luna's room. "What are you doing?" He stood next to the bed.

"She wouldn't fall asleep without me in here, but now that she is, I guess I'll go." Sora stood up and left. "You can have your special time with her too," he called over his shoulder as he went into his room.

"Special time?" muttered Roxas. But as he gazed over Luna, he realized Sora meant that he was just going to spend some time with her. She was different than most other girls he had met before. She was bold and daring and definitely not a girly girl. Luna turned in her sleep, waking Roxas from his thoughts. He put a hand on her shoulder, and she jolted awake.

"Roxas" she asked. He nodded, pulling his hand back.

"Sorry, I woke you up," he replied. "I didn't mean to. Er, I'll go if you want me-"

"No, it's fine. It's comforting knowing that there's another person here with me, especially since this is a new home to me." She turned over and faced him completely, propping her head up with her arm.

"Is it true you wouldn't fall asleep-"

"Without Sora? Yes, for the same reason I'm glad you're here." She patted the bed next to her. "Well, if you're going to talk to me like this, then sit down. Idle chat is never fun when you're standing."

"So you're a bit needy, is all you're saying?" asked Roxas as he sat down.

Luna blushed. "Yeah, I guess. It's a habit." She frowned. "At least, I think it is."

"Haha, that's funny," said Roxas, smiling. "You need to rest up. I don't know what we'll be doing tomorrow, but you need the sleep. And besides, your problem makes it even more necessary."

"I know, I know," said Luna. She turned over again. "Don't go away until I fall asleep. You shouldn't have to wait long."

"Alright, Luna," said Roxas. He turned away from her while he waited. "Night, Luna."

"You too, Roxas." Luna was still turned away from him. It wasn't long before Roxas could hear her steady breathing. She was right about not having to wait long.

Still, Roxas felt bad leaving her like that. She had shown him a more vulnerable side of her. Assuming his time with her was up, he left the room and closed the door. As he walked into the hallway, he stretched and thought about the day. He almost collided with Sora.

"Nice, Roxas. Run me over, why don't you?" asked Sora sarcastically. Roxas shrugged. "You know we held hands today on the beach, me and Luna."

"You did what?" asked Roxas, his attention fully on Sora.

"She grabbed my hand and we just walked to the boat together. It's not surprising you didn't notice, since you're all obsessed with Namine and that."

"It's not like that!" protested Roxas.

"Don't give me that, we all know you're into her."

"Fine. But since you told me about the beach, I'll tell you we just had a small conversation in her room." Roxas began to walk towards his room, waiting for Sora to take the bait.

"About what?" Sora's voice was a bit too casual.

"We just talked about how she's a bit more gentle than she lets on outside. She can be needy, you know." Roxas turned away. "Come on, I'm sure Kairi is going to be here super early tomorrow morning. She's going to want to do something."

"Fine. I'll go to bed." Sora waved his hand at Roxas. "Night, Roxas."

"Night, Sora." Roxas disappeared into his room. Sora walked into his room and closed the door quietly behind him.

((Time is sped up. . . . . .))

Luna's P.O.V.

I wake up on the floor. The bed's sheets are splayed around me and I am spread out like a starfish on the floor. I stand up and relive my dreams.

In my dream, I was being chased by someone-I don't know who-with Theo. We were pretty far ahead, but then we were intercepted by other people. With our backs facing nothing but the stormy ocean, we have guns pointed at our faces. Then someone from above jumps down on us and hits us with something heavy on our heads. There is a blasting pain; I hear Theo's cry and then feel the cold sensation of water sweep around me.

And that was where my dream ended. But I dreamt it far more than once. I shake my head and wonder what the dream meant. I sit up on my bed and realize that I am wearing my clothes from yesterday. I decide to change. Over by the window is a plain wooden dresser that I can only assume has my clothes in it. I stand up and open the top drawer, pull out a white tank top and black jeans and begin to change.

I've just taken off my shorts when Roxas opens the door, probably come to wake me up.

He stares at me. I stare at him. A few seconds pass before he comes to his senses and closes the door. I just stare at the door. That was an awkward moment. Before Sora makes the same mistake, I decide to finish getting dressed.

Roxas opens the door again once I've grabbed my new pair of shoes. I pick them up and walk through the door as he holds the door open for me.

I know he's following me down into the kitchen. There's a long silence between us as we walk.

When we reach the kitchen, Sora's down there, eating a bowl of cereal. "Oh! Good morning, you two!" he says cheerfully. I smile, glad at the silence being broken. "What's wrong, Roxas? You look like you've seen a ghost." Sora is staring at Roxas. I turn and see his face is pale.

"Err. I'll make some breakfast." I try to change the subject. Roxas and Sora begin to protest.

"You're a guest!" they exclaim.

"And I would like to make breakfast for you two, as a guest. It's fine; I like cooking." I walk over to a set of cabinets. When I open the door, I take a look at the foods inside. I immediately spot what I'm looking for. I take out a couple of containers filled with flour, sugar, and the like. I can feel the twins' gazes on me as I travel to the refrigerator. I take out eggs, milk and other important ingredients. More bits of memory return as I work.

"'Honestly, I would blow up the house if I tried. Luna, not everybody cooks as well as you!'

'Oh, you don't know that! Besides, you've only tried cooking once, Jenna! And just because you can't make crepes doesn't mean you can't cook other stuff, too.'

'I've tried making waffles.'

'Did you blow up your house?'

'No.'

'Then you're not completely hopeless.'"

A whole conversation! I am thoroughly stunned that my brain could rake in that much. And I guess I knew someone named Jenna. I'll ask Theo about it later. Then I wonder about the cost of remembering. It could turn out to be agonizing. Still, I am in high spirits as I continue to prepare food.

((Time is sped up. . . . . .about 15 minutes.))

"This is good!"

"Thank you!" The joy of a successful meal is extremely useful in boosting my mood. I watch as the twins devour the meal of crepe-like pancakes in front of them.

"Where'd you learn the recipe? It's not something I've eaten before." Roxas is stuffing his face while he speaks, so I can't hear him that well.

"Memory, believe it or not. I think that it's a form of crepe, but it's something I created after a bit of a crepe failure." I smile broadly, sitting down and grabbing a plate.

"Is it hard to make crepes?" Sora stops eating for a moment to ask the question.

I laugh. "Yes, if you don't practice. I knew someone named Jenna who tried to make them perfectly right off the bat. She came out fairly disappointed."

They both stop eating. "You remembered something?" they ask. I nod.

"While I was cooking. It sparked a memory. I'll ask Theo if he knew a Jenna; maybe it'll strike something in him too." I motion for Sora to pass me a pancake. "Don't get too worked up about it. It's small, so it could be completely useless."

As Sora places a hot pancake on my plate, Roxas looks at me very seriously. I begin to fidget, because for some reason his gaze is very…unnerving to me. "It's never useless, if you have nothing at all," he says.

"Oh. Did you come visit me last night, Roxas?" I ask, in an attempt to try and break his gaze.

"He said he did. You wouldn't go to sleep without one of us with you, though." Sora responds for Roxas.

"So I wasn't hallucinating. Sorry, I got a bit…I acted a bit weak then." I look into my food.

"It's fine," says Sora, dismissing the act with a wave of his hand. "You're cute like that, anyways."

I blush. Roxas sees and laughs. "You're embarrassing her, Sora. Give her a break." I cover my face in my hands, trying to hide my reddened face. Roxas pulls my hands away.

"You're cute either way, Luna," he says, looking straight into my eyes. My hands go slack. Sora lets out a grunt.

My roller coaster life with the twins has officially begun.
