This is chapter 1, it only had 6 pages in my journal, so it is kinda short, but the rest of the chapters are 10+ pages. This is my first fan-fiction, so please accept it, and tell me what you think!

Chapter 1: The Letter

We stood near the Paupu tree, finishing reading the letter for the last time before I left.

"Are you ready Sora?" Riku asked me.

"I think I am," I replied.

"Sora, we know that you can do this…so go for it!" Kairi said.

"Thanks Kairi," I said hugging her.

"We will probably be here waiting," Riku said.

"Yeah," I said smiling.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Donald and Goofy arrived with the Gummi ship the next day. I got in, and Kairi and Riku waved goodbye.

We took off and flew quite a ways, but after a while, the gummi ship began to shake violently.

"What is going on?" Donald said frustrated.

"Gawrsh, this doesn't look good!" Goofy said.

The ship spun around and around until we crash-landed into an ocean. We pulled the ship to shore.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Donald and Goofy began to check out the ship.

A few minutes later they came back to me.

"Sora, it's broken!" Goofy said.

"Oh, well, what should we do?" I said.

" We should go find someone to fix this thing!" Donald yelled.

"But, shouldn't we find out where we are first?" Goofy said.

"Yeah, then we can find someone to fix it. O.K?"

"Okay…" Donald and Goofy said.

I looked around, this place really reminded me of Destiny Islands.

The beach was very beautiful, and it was welcoming us with a gentle breeze, much like a mother welcomes her long gone child that was lost. It was an odd feeling, but it was nice.

Donald and Goofy walked off in different directions after telling me to meet back here at the garden in front of me.

A light breeze came from the north, I could hear faint music in the distance.

I relaxed, then went into town.

It was very beautiful place.

Everywhere I looked, I saw people smiling.

I walked over into an interesting looking shop.

I went up to the counter, "um, sir, what is this place called?"

"Frankie's Items it is! Best shop in town to get things you need!" The man said proudly.

"Um, I meant this world…."

"Oh! This is Emina Village!" he said bowing, "Welcome newcomer!" He said politely.

I laughed, " Sir, you don't need to bow, I am just here to look for someone to fix our gummi ship."

Frankie gasped, By golly! A gummi ship? We haven't seen one of those in ages!"

"Really?"

"Really."

"Well, that's odd."

"Yes, yes it is. But, there are a few people who are still skilled in fixing them and could help you. You really came into some great luck…um…what's your name?"

"Sora."

"Sora. Nice name boy! I like it! Well, it has been nice meeting you!"

"Um, before I leave, do YOU know how to fix a gummi ship?"

"Do I know how to?" He said laughing. "OF COURSE! I have known for quite a while now."

I waited. "….So…can you help me?"

"Oh! Yes, where is it?"

"Just follow me," I said walking out. Frankie followed me, and I led him to the ship where Donald and Goofy were waiting. I also noticed two other intelligent looking men.

"Sora! You found one too! Good job!" Donald said.

"Yeah, so can it be fixed?"

"YES! Of course it can!" Frankie said. "But, it will take a while, a few days maybe, I am not sure."

"Okay, well, where can we stay?" I asked.

"You can stay at the inn, Agnam Inn. It really is indeed a great place to stay!" One of the men said.

"Yeah, Maps is right, GREAT place!" The second man said.

"Well, thanks Maps and um…" I began.

"Xif."

"ZIf?" Goofy said holding the zzzz.

"Um, no, just Xif, with an X."

"Ok…well, thanks Xif, Maps, Frankie, we wil go now."

We took off and headed for Agnam Inn. Inside, everything was happy and jolly. There was dancing, and singing, and merry making. I thought of Christmas subconsciously…whatever that means. The floor was wooden, but looked new, and the there were Roman pillars on each corner. Everything looked clean, and in fact, so clean, I bet people wouldn't mind eating off the floor. But, since it was so crowded, I felt claustrophobic, so I went outside.

I decided to just walk around and browse the shops. But, first I would go back to Frankie's place.

To my surprise, it was still open.

I went inside to see another surprise, a girl behind the counter.

"Oh! Um, can I help you?" She said stuttering.

" Uh, yeah, do you have any items that might be useful fo-"

"Yes! Come this way!" She said excitingly walking off and not even paying attention to what I was saying. I watched as she almost tripped as she skipped to the back of the store. "Come on!" She called peeking her head out of what looked like a closet.

I saw many objects in this huge room, closet, whatever it was…

"Um, what is-"

"They are items that people usually would need on a journey."

"How do you-'

" I just do, there is a girl who studies the worlds and makes most of this stuff."

"What's her name?"

"fjsdkl dhfsd hfkljsd" She said the name so fast in such an odd language that I couldn't understand a word she said.

"Ok…"

'Well! You might as well take s-something!" She said stuttering again.

" How about this?" I said pointing to a star shaped object.

"Oh, that is a Sutachra, it heals all ailiments when in need, but it is only for people i-"

"Um, how much is it?" I asked, totally ignoring her.

She sighed in aggravation, "5000 munny."

"Really? Don't you think that is a bit too much?"

"NO! IT LASTS FOREVER! So, it is not unreasonable. I thought it was a bit cheap for what it can do."

"Ok, whatever. Here you are, " I said handing her the munny.

She stared at me. "You are seriously buying it?"

"Yeah! I think I'll need it!"

"Well, doesn't everyone…" She mumbled.

"I have to go now."

"OK! Bye!" She said in a mean tone.

I headed for the door, "Um, what is your-"

"Lucky," She said smiling touching my glove.

I walked out, and went to the nearby shop, wondering why she touched me.

I saw glass everywhere as soon as I walked in, the floor, the items, the lights, the CEILING, everything, literally. So, I walked out. I decided not to look in shops, instead I just went to the inn. I got some water and sat down. Now I felt refreshed, but tired.

Donald and Goofy walked in.

"SORA!" They yelled, running over to me.

"What?" I said trying to sound dramatic.

"They are fixing up the gummi ship, and they say it will take about three days, if they go unendingly," Donald said.

"So, four days," I said.

"Yes. Sora, what are you doing?" Donald asked.

"Nothing."

"Well, then go look around learn something!" Donald told me.

"Ok! I will! Patience!" I said getting up.

"Be careful Sora," Goofy said.

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just felt like saying it."

"Well, thanks Goofy," I said walking out and heading for an ice cream stand.

"Hello young lad! How may I help you?" They guy said, I don't know why he said "young" because he only looked 16 years old.

"Um, do you have Sea salt ice cream?"

"Why, of course! It is one of our most famous flavours!"

"How did you come up with it?"
"It just….came to me…haha, weird huh?"

"Can I have some?"

"Oh! Yeah man!" He handed me the ice cream and I paid for it then walked off.

In the far distance I saw the gummi ship and everyone working on it. I watched the sun as it was near sunset. It was not even near setting, but I watched it anyway.

I felt a cool breeze from behind me. It felt nice.

A thought came to my head.

I could go to the beach behind me.

So, I threw away my stick and watched my steps as I walked towards the beache's edge. I look at the half-ground, half-sand phenomenon.

It reminded me of Destiny Islands.

I had a flashback;

I saw myself as a child again. It was a blur, but I saw a girl.

I thought it was Kairi.

"Kairi!" I called out.

Then I started running towards her, but then I realized that I could not affect this flashback.

The me in the flashback walked towards her. She ran to him and hugged him, I heard crying.

Then I awoke. I had tripped on a rock.

I got up and dusted myself off. I heard a faint noise.

A heartless.

I turned around but nothing was there.

Then I turned back around.

I saw a girl standing at the water.

She had long brown hair that was flowing in the wind, and wore purple clothing. She was standing still as though in a trance.

I had a feeling that she was sad, and longing for something….or someone.

Clouds overhead grew grey and thunder rumbled.

I heard crying, then it began to rain.

She cried out," WHERE ARE YOU!"

It made me feel sad, and it broke my heart. I felt like crying.

I took a step forward, then I saw a heartless.

I ran towards it to kill it, but as I did, the girl turned around swiftly and killed me at the same time as me.

Her tears stopped.

Our eyes met .

I felt like I knew her…but why?

"Sora!" She said jumping on me to hug me.

"H-How do you have a keyblade?" I had said at the same time.

There was a long silence.
"How…do you know my name?"
