**********Hello everyone, I'm back. And I've come baring gifts. So, read this chapter and then the note I leave at the bottom for an address with some pictures of Sora, Riku, and Auntie Albie that I've drawn. But ya gotta read the chapter first…well I guess you don't 'have' to, but it would be nice…
Chapter Three
Bella laid on her back staring over at the pile of sand on the table next to her bed. The warmth it had when Albie brought it over had long since faded, but the fact of where it came from itself was enough to make her keep it. They hadn't told Charlie about the new device in their basement yet, and didn't mean to for a while. If he knew that he had a portal into video games…well, Bella didn't even want to think about that.
It had been two days since she had seen Albie pass through the phone booth, and she was a little less then satisfied when the woman told her that she still couldn't go into the game. Albie had promised that after she tested it that B.D. could go in, so why in the world was she still her instead of there?!
The girl sighed at her thoughts. It was extremely frustrating to her, and the knowledge that Albie was going away for a few days to a convention of some kind and the lab would be all locked up, made her even more angry. She wanted to try to get in that game damnit! Rolling over in her bed, she looked through the window at the clouded over night sky. What 'would' things be like in Kingdom Hearts? Would she be computer generated or would she look the same? Auntie Albie looked the same to her when she saw her on the monitor, but Bella hadn't really asked her what it was like it there. She almost hit herself for not doing so. Albie would be long gone by the time she woke up in the morning and went to school.
Deciding to let sleep take over her, she started closing her eyes with a small grin on her face from her final thought. Albie may lock up the lab before she leaves…but aren't all locks meant to be broken?

"And that's what a chemical bond is." the chemistry teacher finished as the end of last period neared. Bella sat it the front row of the room, and was currently debating on weather or not to tell her friend, Erin, about the phone booth portal. She had pretty much been in her own little world all day and probably missed out on a lot of assignments, but she couldn't get the idea of going to Destiny Islands out of her head. She had to tell someone, something, before she screamed. As she was about to go into another thought, she was interrupted by the teacher starting one of his funny real life experiences.
"I just completely lost my train of thought…" he began then looked up at the class again with a grin. "Did I tell you all I shot a mouse with a bebe gun last night?"
The class busted out into a fit of laughter at the dramatic change of subject. As Mr. Black turned toward the class door, shut it, and looked around suspiciously, he started the story.
"Okay, here's how it went down…" he said and gained another laugh from the class. Bella Donna slipped down in her seat and listened to the tale about her teacher completely blowing this mouse's eye out. Even though she didn't particularly like the class, Mr. Black was an awesome teacher. A minute or so after he finished the bell rang and he yelled out his usual 'crack kills' to the class as they left the room and entered the busy hallway. As she made her way down to her locker, Erin popped up beside her suddenly.
"So wat'cha' gonna do since your aunts gone?" she questioned trying to keep all the books in her arms from hitting the floor.
"Well…" Bella started, trying to think of what to say. She couldn't exactly just come out and say, 'Oh nothing. Just break into my aunts lab, keep Charlie from seeing, and taking a phone booth into Kingdom Hearts'. No, that wouldn't go very well. But after all day of arguing with herself, she finally decided to at least tell her friend about the existence of the 'game machine', as she had dubbed it.
The two girls eventually reached Bella's locker, and after struggling to keep all the built up bags and jackets in the small space, they both pushed the door closed and began walking towards the house that currently stored the brilliant device. On the way the taller of the girls began telling the other about the sudden blessing in her life. The other, who was of course Erin, was a girl of about 5' and 5" with unevenly cut brown hair and caramel colored eyes to match. Today the petite girl was sporting one of her usual punk band t-shirts, worn out jeans, and her everyday flip-flops.
"And now we have a portal thingy into Kingdom Hearts…" Bella finished as she closed and locked the door behind them when they stepped into the spacious house. Turning quickly when she heard the belongings of a shocked Erin hit the floor, B.D. arched a brow. In front of her the girls arms began to shake, then her hands, then her shoulders, then her head…until her face burst into the biggest grin Bella had ever seen, and an excited scream echoed from Erin as she dashed passed her toward the 'secret lab'.
"Where is it?! Here?! How do ya open this thing?! MUST…GET…INNNN!!!" She yelled frantically and tried prying the door open. B.D. couldn't help but stand back and watch with amusement as she tried continually.
"Uh, Erin? Erin? ERIN!!" she screamed trying to get her attention. After another pull, the small girl slipped and landed hard against the wall then slide down on the floor, glaring at the door. She then turned toward the Egyptian and yelled.
"CLEO! Open it NOW!" she begged pathetically. 'Cleo' just shook her head and sat down on her floor next to her friend.
"No, no, no. I don't trust you down there anymore then I trust Charlie. And don't say that you've been down there before, cause I know ya have…but now there's something worth breakin' in down there." she finished before Erin could argue. At that, the sound of a key entering the front door and unlocking followed. Soon after, Charlie bounded in and started down the hall toward the kitchen. When he spotted the two on the floor he stopped short.
"Ummm…is this another one of those girl things?" he questioned, then continued on his way after he got no response. Erin's eyes followed him down the hall.
"Is it just me, or does he act a lot older then he is?" she asked and looked back toward Bella. The girl just shook her head in a 'you don't wanna know' way, then spoke again.
"And now we definitely can't go down there. The possibility of him getting down there is just waaay to much for me to handle."
"But if he wasn't here?"
"I said no anyway."
"But come ooonnnn Cleo! This is the opportunity of a lifetime and your going to let your best friend miss out on it?" she argued and stood up, looking down on her. "Think of all the things I've done for you! Like…like…hooking you up with Sean Cleaver! You had a crush on him forever, and I made you dreams come true." she said with a sighing look on her face and hands under her chin in a cute way.
"He cheated on me with Shelly Bloomburg." Bella deadpanned.
"You are like fighting with a brick wall sometimes ya know!" Erin cried out frustrated and leaned against the cold metal of the lab door. "Let me innnn…."
While watching her friend beg at the door, Bella began feeling guilty. Erin 'was' her best friend after all, and she 'should' be able to get in there at least once. And she didn't really want to go in there alone the first time. Who better to go with her but her best friend? But no, Charlie was here so even if she wanted to…
"Hey Bella, I'm goin' ta Miky's tonight! And don't you call over again sayin' that you're a killer! And I WASN'T SCARED!!" Charlie suddenly yelled from the kitchen, then the sound of the back door slamming sounded. 'Hmm…talk about convenient'.
Before Erin could say anything, Bella Donna was going for the keypad and typing in the right numbers for the door to open. Erin jumped up and down with a goofy grin on her face as she watched the door latch unlock with mechanical cranking sound.
"We're in!" she screeched and pulled the door open before jumping down the stairs. All the equipment was silent in the lab, but at the rate that Erin was going, it would be on in no time. She was currently pushing all the available buttons in her reach.
"Stop, stop, stop! Ya just can't start pushin' buttons! I don't know what half of these things do!" Bella exclaimed trying to pull the smaller girl away from the control panels.
"How do ya turn this thing on? We're not just gonna look at it are we?" the girl complained while making her way over to the phone booth.
"For now, yes, we are just gonna look at it. Until Albie tell me more about it, nobodies going out of this dimension." she finished determinedly and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Uh huh, yeh whatever. Hey what's this do?" Erin's voice sounded before the whirl of the machines echoed through the basement, leaving a stunned girls finger hovering over the big blue button.
"So cool!" she yelled. Bella's head dropped in frustration as the room lit up and the monitor showing the coast line popped to life. She really, really shouldn't have come down here. 'Is that Erin opening the booth? Anyway, this was a very, very bad idea. Who knows what that little ball of energy could do down here? Is that Erin pushing numerous buttons on the key pad? Naw. Why did I let her talk me into this? Well actually I talked myself into this, but…wait, what's that bright light? And where's Erin? And why the hell didn't I pay attention to the other things?!!!?'
B.D.'s eyed darted around the room in frantic search of her little friend. Not under the stairs, not behind the desk, not in the crates, or in the phone booth…anymore. Bella groaned and turned her attention to the monitor, already half certain as to what she would find.
"Damn you Erin!" she yelled when she saw the girl running around on the beach of Destiny Islands. And the girl didn't even have enough sense to get a head set thingy. Not that she knew what one was…but anyway. The girl left standing in the lab couldn't bring her back unless she had a head set on. So the only other possibility was to…
"I swear, when she gets back here…" she said under her breath as she rummaged through the crates in search of the cheesy head set Albie had worn the other day. Besides, no one was on the beach but Erin, so no one of importance would see her in this…thing. And though Bella told herself over and over that she would only stay long enough to grab Erin, while she punched in the buttons on the booth she knew in the back of her mind she wouldn't be able to leave so soon.
"Here goes nothin'." she said and closed her eyes tightly as the light entered the booth. For a few moments, all B.D. could feel was nothing. Complete numbness. The girl would have panicked if not for the next feeling that rushed over her. The soft warmth of something unknown covered her and she let out a small sigh as that heat was replaced by a more humid one. As the light that Bella could make out from behind her eyelids faded, she opened her eyes slowly.
"Oh my…" Bella's sentence was cut short by the call of a gull in the blue skies above her. One of the few shadows cast by the billowing white clouds past across her and the soft sand under her shoes. Reaching down, she scooped a small amount of the warm gritty substance into her hand and let it sift through her fingers and fall back on the ground to join the rest. The sound of rustling leaves and branches brought her attention to the palm trees behind her that were being swayed by the gentle breeze that played across her face and through her hair. The air she breathed in was not that of the smoggy air that floated through the skies back at home, but that of a more rich and untouched place. A hint of moister and the scent of salt drifted through her senses and she closed her eyes, lost in the feeling of this new and amazing place.
However, that calming peace didn't last for long. Not to far off the sound of approaching people quickly caught Bella's attention. 'Wait, where's Erin?' she asked herself. 'Damn that hyperactive thing! She probably went and got herself lost!'
But she didn't have any time to think about that at the moment. The voices where now just around the corner of the Sea Side Shack. Running as fast as she could toward the line of trees, B.D. concealed herself behind one of the huge leaves near the entrance to the Secret Place.
"I'm serious! The beach is haunted Riku! First there was that white woman than that…thing." a boyish voice argued with his still silent companion. Bella's breath caught in her throat. I was them. The 'real' them.
"Sora…come on, I mean just because you saw some strangers doesn't mean the beach is haunted." the silky voice of the older boy replied. At this point B.D. was almost giddy with excitement.
"Hmph, whatever you say Riku. But when you get attacked by that white woman and that…thingy, don't ask me for help!" Sora finished and entered the shack.
"Like you could help even if you wanted to." Riku teased with a grin. A stubborn 'Could too!' came from inside the rickety little building. Bella had to keep reminding herself to breath. She bit her lip and leaned over a little bit to catch a glimpse of the silver haired who was still lingering outside the shack, gazing out to the sea. He was really real. A lump started to form in the smitten girls throat as she looked down at him. She didn't know that any male could look so good in the sun. The way his metallic colored hair reflected the sun rays and caused an almost glowing effect around him made Bella want to melt into a little puddle. And this was only his back. If he did turn around…oh the eyes…A goofy looked spread upon her face as she continued to watch him.
'Just look at 'im down there. Perfect hair, WONDERFUL fashion sense, pale, but not to pale, skin…cute butt…WHOA there old girl!'
Bella shook her head. This was really out of character for her and to say the least, she didn't like it. She decided to herself that it was just the fact that he was a video game character come to life that made him instantly appealing. She shouldn't be fawning over a guy she hadn't even seen the face of. An aggravated sigh came out of her mouth and she ran a hand through her now tangled hair. Shifting her weight from one foot to the other and moving back a little, she looked down when she felt the tug of a loose vine around her shoe. Bending down with minimum noise she tried to detangle herself from the plant, but unfortunately caused more noise than she meant to. Before she knew it, the smooth voice she heard before was directed in her direction.
"Who's that? Who's there?" Riku question while turning his sharp gaze over toward the palms.
"Uh, um…I, ahhh!" Bella Donna started but was cut off by tripping on the offending vines and into the small pool and the bottom of the water fall. Sitting up in the shallow water, B.D. pulled the bit of water plant out of her hair along with the vine from around her foot and threw it with a bit of anger away from her. She sat in the pool with a sour look on her face, and when she finally looked up she saw nothing but two eyes of the same color as the pool she was sitting in.
"You ok?" the teenager less than two feet in front of her asked with a hand outstretched for her to take. The soaked girl reached out and took his gloved hand and looked around her at Destiny Island than back at Riku. With a small laugh she replied with sudden realization of what was really happening.
"Heh, never better."
***********Rikkkkuuuuuuu!!!!! You little hottie you! Anyway, if you read the little note I left at the top, I told you I would give you an address to a website with some of my drawings. It's http://ctgameinfo.com/fanart/pictures.php?op=list&artist=shape_of_a_shadow and as you guessed, my screen name on that website is shape_of_a_shadow. And while your there, there's a very good KH artist named Horusgoddess and you should really check out her work. And one more thing, if you love me go read the first chapter to another KH fic I started here at fanfiction.net its called Of Books and Blades. It's a pretty original idea for the story if I do say so myself. So go read that and look at my pictures (and leave comments for them if you don't mind) and also for this story…REVIEW!!!!!
