"Hey, you! What the heck are you doing in my room?" Tina yelled to the stranger, while placing her plate of food on her table. She was pissed and partly scared for a stranger to be in her house. A few moments passed while she was staring at the person rubbing their head with their hand, behind her bed. They had obviously bumped their head on the bed's side. The person finally removed their hand off their head and stood up, looking toward Tina.

A boy around her age with spiky brunette hair and blue eyes stared back into Tina's eyes.

"Hey. You are. Aren't you?" Tina asked, as she walked closer to him and poked his hair.

"I'm what? Hey- cut it out." the boy - or shall I say SORA - frowned as the girl poked his hair. He pushed away her hand quickly. Sora looked back to the TV, which was still revealing the white portal.

"What's that?" Tina inquired as she followed his gaze. Another figure was coming out of it, and soon was in the room.

Luckily, this person - another guy - landed on her bed, but with fairly a lot of force. The boy groaned into Tina's pillow, then lifted his head up to see the two of them, with sharp sea-green eyes.

Riku. Tina gasped and looked from Sora to Riku, Riku to Sora. For a minute, she stood gaping at the two, jaw dropped. They stared back at her with eyebrows raised, then at the same time asked.

"What?"

Tina forced her mouth close and spoke. "H-how. Did you two get here?"

The time passed as Tin listened to Riku explain how Sora and he came here, with Sora interrupting here and there. When Riku finished, Tina gulped down her lasagna and reviewed their story.

"So. Sora and you were back in Traverse after the world havoc. Sora and you heard a voice saying that you were needed in a world, and then a white portal opened up and sucked both of you up, ending up here?"

Sora nodded and Riku answered with a "yeah."

"I think the voice means we have a job to do in this world. The reason we came to YOUR house was because that machine," Riku pointed to her PS2, "Was the only one around here that had an open portal entrance. So Sora and I have to find shelter somewhere until we find out what we were sent here for."

Tina shrugged and smiled. It might be cool to have video game characters around as a friend. "Wait here."

"So, these two video game characters came out of a portal and need shelter? Tina, you're too much," Tina's mom laughed, "Don't joke around like that."

"MOM! It's truuue," Tina said. Her mom always had trusted her and Tina trusted her back with things.

"Tina, I saw you play this game before. "Kingdom Hearts", right? Well, maybe you should take a break from it. I think you're getting too obsessed."

Tina frowned at this and thought. A smile soon came upon her face. "Mom, you said you saw me play, right? You saw the beginning of the game?"

Her mom nodded slowly, thinking what Tina is up to.

"There were two guys there. Remember them? Their looks?"

"Yes, dear but -"

"If you see them, you'll grant their stay? Since you're the greatest mother in the world?"

Tina's mom looked at her in a thoughtful way and said, "Yes, but you better not be dressing up dolls and broom as them, since I'll know-"

"GUYS! COME DOWN!"

Two faces peeked out from behind the door to Tina's room, making a surprised look spread across the mom's face.
