Disclaimer : I do not own Kingdom hearts, but Alex is my own creation.

Alex found himself in a castle that seemed familiar. People were all around him, adults and children. He smiled to himself. This place is great, he thought. What could go wrong? Suddenly, everyone turned to dust. Alex was caught by surprise. What's going on? Then a wave of black came towards him. He put his hands up as a shield, but to no use. It enveloped him. It was destroying him, killing him, drowning him in the darkness...

Alex woke up with fright. He was always having these dreams. He laid back down. For as long as he could remember he's had these dreams. But they seemed like something more. Like memories. Confused, Alex closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

RRRRIIINNNGGGGG! The sound of the alarm clock rang in Alex's ears. First thought that came into his head was damn that alarm. Alex got up, turned off the alarm. He heard snoring coming from the other room. "Guess it's time to wake up Sora," Alex said to himself. He grabbed his guitar, a pair of headphones and the amplifier, turning the settings up max. Alex walked into Sora's room, putting the headphones on Sora's ears. Sora twitched. Alex turned the guitar on and hammered on the strings.

"AARRGHH!" Sora flew up ten feet into the air.

"Rise an' Shine."

"ALEX!"

"Shut up, and get dressed. We need to get the supplies for the raft."

Alex does this to Sora every other week. He had the right to, since he was a year older than him and besides, Sora slept through his last 20 alarm clocks.

Alex left the house, his brown hair shining in the brightness, shielding his bright green eyes. He started towards the dock, still hearing Sora's string of curses. When he got there, he found Riku and Kairi already waiting for them. "Where's Sora?" Kairi asked.

"Slept in."

"Did you try the..." Riku started.

"Yup. The guitar woke him right up."

Sora appeared in the distance. Alex and Riku pointed cracked up. Kairi just smiled at them thinking "Just another day in paradise", as Alex and Riku rolled on the ground in another one of their fits of laughter.


Well thats all for the first chapter, sorry if it's a little short.
