A Wishful Thought (A Note From The Author): Hellur! :D haha, Wishful here. ;) Did you see what I did there? Instead of just "A/N" I think I'm going to just say "A Wishful Thought". I just realized that I could do that the other night. XD

Moving ON, I'm updating again you guys. :D I just realized that I've updated this story pretty frequently. I think I'm extremely proud of myself. ;D I don't have much to say here, so don't worry guys, the story shall start soon.

Thank you to: KeybladeMaster97, CupcakeLerman, Ashcroitt, and Black-Star98 for reviewing. :D You guys are AWESOME.

I also think that I'll be stealing KeybladeMaster97's suggestion about the Final Fantasy characters. So you'll see them, but if they don't make an appearance in KH, you won't see them all too much. Save for some characters I JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT! *huggles said characters* X3

And look out world. Misfortune XIII has officially become my partner in crime. Look out for our collab story which will come out soon. (hopefully. ;) XD

NOW ENJOY! :D

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Kingdom Hearts. The characters, the worlds, or any of that. I also do not own Panera Bread and any other things that may pop up in this chapter. XD I only own these words kiddies. :]

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, SO READ THIS PART. :D
The Worth of Munny:
I'm going to be going with 500 munny equaling $50, 50 munny equaling $5, and 5 munny equaling 5 cents. So you pretty much just have to take out a zero to get a comparison kind of price.

But to be more specific, (like when I use a number that doesn't end with zero) you're pretty much just moving the imaginary decimal at the end one place to the left. And since I don't want to think too much about math right now since it's the weekend, I'll leave it at that. But just message me if you need more clarification on that I guess.

Whoa. These people have a pretty good economy. XD

N 0 N 3 X 1 $ + E N +: Panera's and Schedules

"Ohmigod. I think we're done."

"We're done?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Seriously?"

"Well Sora, does it still look dirty to you?"

". . . OH MY GOD! WE'RE FINALLY DONE!"

I rolled my eyes as Sora commenced dancing around our kitchen. Eventually, he grabbed Kairi's wrist and they began to twirl and dance and laugh together, momentarily making me forget the awful stench of cleaning chemicals that now plagued our kitchen.

Just for a second.

I crinkled my nose in disgust when the fumes attacked me again, forcing me to back away from the kitchen. "Ugh! Can't we leave already? The smell in here is absolutely horrendous."

The two idiots paused to look at me, their hands still clasped together. Sora widened his eyes in faux shock. "Wow, Roxas! I never knew you could use a word as big as 'horrendous.'"

I rolled my eyes. "Coming from you, Sora."

Sora's expression changed to one that showed offense, and Kairi giggled before screaming, "OOOOOOH! SORA YOU JUST GOT SERVED."

We both blinked. The sudden dialogue that escaped Kairi's mouth was random, and honestly, my comeback wasn't the most amazing thing in the whole entire world. But whatever, I wasn't going to wave away a compliment. And so I planted a smug smirk on my face as Sora's eyes narrowed playfully. "I think that someone's been sniffing too much Clorox. . ."

Kairi giggled again before letting go of Sora's hand and punching him playfully in the arm. "Whatever, Sora. Let's just go out to eat now, okay? I'm hungry."

Sora paled slightly as he remembered his promise to buy us all breakfast. "Oh, right. . . . About that. . . ."

I guffawed at him. "Oh, nonononononoNO. You are buying us breakfast, brother dearest. There's no backing out of it now."

Kairi nodded eagerly, her eyes glistening with excitement.

Sora only needed to glance once at my determined expression, and once at Kairi's puppy-dog face, before he sighed in defeat. "Fine, let me get my wallet."

Kairi and I cheered at the top of our lungs. "HALLELUJAH! THE HEAVENS SMILE UPON US TODAY!"

I chuckled. "Kai, I think Sora's right. No more Clorox sniffing for you." She continued to laugh as I pushed her out of our kitchen and towards the front door, Naminé quietly trailing behind us. Kairi was still giggling, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see the slightly confused and worried expression on Naminé's face which made me burst out into laughter too.

Kairi picked up her light pink Jansport bag, and slung it over her right shoulder. "Nami, time to go! Haha, get ready to spend Sora's money like crazy! Don't hold back!" She threw her head back in maniacal laughter before adding on an afterthought, "Oh! And it's your first day at Twilight Town Prep, too!"

A light smile slowly graced itself on Naminé's lips as she carefully made her way towards her cousin and her backpack.

Oh, backpack.

"Hey guys, I'll be right back. Just gonna get my bag and make sure Sora isn't trying to take my money."

Kairi was still giggling (I was beginning to worry for this girl's wellbeing now. . .), but she gave a nod anyway. Naminé had picked up her gray Jansport and slung it over her left shoulder. Standing next to her cousin, I couldn't help but notice all the similarities and differences between the two.

They were practically the exact same height, and they had a majority of the same features. But other than those two things about them, everything was completely different.

Kairi's auburn hair was naturally pin-straight, and was slightly shorter than Naminé's, but not by much. The only feature that she owned that was different from Naminé's was her eyes. In a way, Kairi's eyes always freaked me out. They always had this kind of sparkle in them, and the color was almost violet. Violet. It was just. . . weird.

Compared to Naminé, Kairi was much girlier, but not to a Selphie extent. Today she was wearing a white skirt that went about halfway up her thigh, maybe even a little higher. The skirt had different red and pink flowers on it that had the appearance of being painted on that varied in distance and size. She wore one of those Henley shirts that was pale pink and a white tank top underneath. The one thing that wasn't girly about her outfit was the white Vans on her feet.

Vans. Oh, that's right. Sora still had to locate and clean my missing infected shoe.

Oh yeah. Sora.

Promptly, I turned on my heel, and made my way to my room to pick up my black Jansport.

You may be wondering, why do all of these kids have Jansport bags?

Haha, well I'll tell you. Jansport is one of the official sponsors of our school, meaning we always get discounts on their stuff if we have our school ID on us. It's pretty awesome actually.

"Err. . . Roxas? Will you do your older twin a favor because you love him so much?"

I fought the urge to ignore him, but ultimately turned to face him. "I'm not lending you any munny."

He groaned in exasperation. "Roxasssss! C'mon, I'll pay you back!"

I rolled my eyes for what seemed like the umpteenth time this morning. "Sora, that's what you've been saying for the whole seventeen years we've been alive. You've never paid me back even once."

Sora winced. He had probably thought that I had forgotten about all the munny he owed me. Au contraire my friend. Roxas never forgets.

Most of the time.

"But, Roxas! I only have five-hundred munny on me!"

I blinked. Where did Sora get that munny? "Sora, five-hundred munny is probably enough to buy us all breakfast." My brother shook his head madly, a desperate expression on his face. "No? Why not?"

"Because knowing you fat asses, you're all going to want to buy the whole freaking restaurant! Five-hundred munny is not enough to buy a whole entire restaurant!"

I couldn't help but laugh at my brother. He was probably right. Cleaning worked up one hell of an appetite for me. "Well, what do you want me to do about it?"

Sora bit his lip in thought, before his expression brightened up, meaning that he had obviously come up with a solution. "I'll pay for most of it, and you pay the rest?"

I rolled my eyes, but couldn't stop the smile on my face from appearing. Sora's pathetic nature just. . . gets me cracking up every time. Subconsciously, I ended up nodding, and I didn't even realize what I had gotten myself into until Sora started jumping up and down and cheering. "Yeah! Thanks, bro."

He was still all smiles as he gave me one last pat on the back before waltzing out of my room. I opened my mouth to object to what I had gotten myself into, but then closed it shut. Whatever, I'd just hold back a little. Five-hundred munny was definitely enough to get us all something. I have no idea what he was thinking.

I pulled on one of my old pairs of Nike 6.0s, made sure I had my cell phone, and headed out of my room and back towards the front door. Sora was already there, talking animatedly to our auburn-haired friend and her blonde cousin. But I guess my footsteps are louder than I think they are, because Sora turned to look at me, just when I was nearing to approach him.

Either that, or we really do have twin telepathy.

Oh my god, I can't believe I just thought that.

"Yo, Rox. You ready?"

I grinned. "Yeah, let's go."

Usually, Sora and I ride our skateboards to school and then just stash them in our lockers when we get there. But since Kairi and Naminé were with us today, skateboarding was out of the question. No, no, Sora and I were going to be total gentlemen this morning.

Or at least I would. Sora could try though.

"So, where would you ladies like breakfast this fine morning?"

Sora was walking with his arms crossed behind his head giving off a kind of carefree vibe. Kairi who had been whispering something to Naminé paused and seemed to ponder it for a few moments, Sora having to continue to push her forward since he was behind her and well. . . we were sort of on a tight schedule.

"I'm not entirely sure. What do you think, Nami?"

Her quiet, but blonde haired cousin blinked at Kairi before looking around the street in wonder. She obviously hadn't been to this part of town yet, but I think she understood that we were sort of in a rush. Eventually, she pointed a shaking finger to the first restaurant that we came across.

Panera Bread

"Dude. I didn't even know we had one of these in Twilight Town!" Sora exclaimed, his voice full of childish excitement.

I merely chuckled while Kairi giggled. I think that I even saw Naminé smile again! Though it was very minute. Part of me still wished that she would say something, because in the seven hours or so that I've known her, she hasn't said a word to me.

Okay, a majority of those seven hours was spent sleeping, but that doesn't matter. Her silence was really starting to freak me out!

Before I knew it, Kairi and Naminé had forced open the doors to the bakery. The wonderful scent of baking bread and cinnamon welcomed us into the store, and I couldn't help but sigh happily. Panera Bread was like heaven.

The line wasn't extremely long, but wasn't extremely short either. It didn't matter though, the waiting in line gave us enough time to look at all their different goods and decide on whatever we wanted. We hadn't even realized that we had gotten to the front of the line because we were so distracted by the different pastries. "Hello, welcome to Panera Bread. How can I help you this morning?"

It was Kairi who spoke first. "Hi! I'll have a Strawberry and Cream Scone, a Four Cheese Soufflé, and a package of Spring Petites please."

The guy behind the counter blinked in mild confusion. "Err. . . You do understand that Soufflés are kind of big, right?"

Kairi's eyebrows knit together in confusion similar to his before slowly nodding, "Um, yeah? There's a picture right there."

The guy opened his mouth as though to say something, but closed it quickly.

"Oh! And I'd also like a Cinnamon Hot Chocolate please!"

His eyes darted to Kairi, and he nodded slowly before walking off to go get her order. Even though I found it slightly strange that Kairi wanted a Hot Chocolate even when it was already hot enough outside, I couldn't help but wonder why this guy seemed so. . . clueless.

"Hey, wait! We're not done ordering yet!"

The man blinked again and carefully made his way back to the cash register. "Excuse me?"

Sora chuckled, "Uh, yeah. All of us," he gestured clumsily to himself, Naminé, and I, "are ordering with Kairi too."

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't realize that. . . Um. . . So what would the rest of you like to order?

Before Sora could respond, I took the opportunity to get my order in. "I'll take a Breakfast Power Sandwich, a Cobblestone, a Bear Claw, a Chocolate Chip Muffin and a Cinnamon Crumble Coffee Cake." I grinned cheekily at the guy at the register before adding on, almost as an afterthought, "Oh! And you wouldn't happen to have Caramel Frappuccinos here, would you?" I kept the smile on my face. I mean, I was really proud of myself for toning down my hunger. It's hardly ever that I do that.

So, that's right. Revel in the moment.

"Well we don't exactly have that, but we have something really simila-"

I cut him off before he could launch himself into an exceedingly long and boring description of the drink. "Yeah, okay. I'll just have that."

The guy behind the register nodded, and scribbled the order down on a notepad.

"Yeah, and I'll have a Ham and Swiss Soufflé, a Steak and Egg Breakfast Sandwich, a Cinnamon Roll, a Chocolate Chip Scone, a Pastry Ring, a French Croissant, and. . . Did I say Cinnamon Roll already?" The worker looked up at Sora, and gave him a skeptical nod. Sora paused as though pondering something before adding on, "Oh, what the hey. Another cinnamon roll, and whatever Roxas ordered for a drink, but with Chocolate!" The cashier looked between the four of us, as though trying to figure out which one of us Sora meant as "Roxas," but he seemed to be genuinely confused. This guy was either just extremely slow, or just a confused kind of guy. So being the nice kind of dude that I am, I gave him a short, half-hearted wave, to signal that "Yeah, that guy wants what I want but apparently with chocolate."

The guy smiled gratefully at me before scribbling something down. "Alright, and what about you, young lady?" By now, the guy was really into it. He had his pen ready on his notepad, and this kind of determined stance that showed that he was ready to keep up with her while she voiced her order.

"I'll have a Fresh Apple Pastry please."

I couldn't help but stare at the shorter blonde next to me in amazement. Why was she so quiet? Her voice sounded so. . . I don't know, but it was pretty kind of voice. Not the kind that should remain silenced forever. You know what I mean? Kind of? Sort of? Not really?

The worker's eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion, but there was something in his eyes that seemed a little shocked too. "Say that again?"

Naminé blinked, obviously bewildered. Yet something told me that there was another emotion hidden under the primary bewilderment. What it was, I have no idea. "Um, I said that I'll have a Fresh Apple Pastry."

One of the worker's eyebrows arched, "Are you sure?"

Now, Naminé's brows were furrowed slightly as she tried to figure the guy out. "Am I sure about what?"

"Are you sure that that's what you want?"

Her eyes widened slightly. "Why, are the Apple Pastries bad?"

He shook his head wildly, "No, of course not!" Seeing Naminé's look of puzzlement, he explained himself in more detail. "I meant, are you sure that that's all you'll have?"

As though trying to satisfy this guy, Naminé half-heartedly answered, "I guess I'll have a Vanilla Shake, too . . .?"

He nodded and scribbled it down, then looked up at her as though waiting for her to continue. Geez, did he really just think we all ordered a lot? Naminé's expression still held one of confusion and bewilderment, and Kairi and Sora seemed to be deep in conversation with each other, so I figured that I'd have to be the one to speak up. "Dude. That's all she wants. Chill."

The man blinked, before nodding and muttering, "Oh, right. . ." and darting off to get our food. I couldn't help but smirk at his reaction, yet at the same time, he seemed kinda out of it. What was his problem?

"Th-Th-Thank you."

I blinked in wonder and stared at Naminé, who seemed to be gripping her bag strap for dear life, her eyes refusing to look everywhere but at me.

"Yeah. . . It's no problem." It was then that I realized that Kairi and Sora having a kind of secretive conversation, and that it would take the cashier guy a while to get all of our things together. And so I figured, why not start a conversation with the quiet girl? "So. . . Are you excited for Senior year?" I couldn't help but wince as I imagined the likely awkwardness that this conversation would hold.

She fidgeted a little bit before responding quietly. "Yeah, I guess."

See? My gut feeling is always right.

Usually.

Okay, Roxas: think. What else could you ask to strike up a more interesting conversation? "Cool. . .Uh. . . How about your Major? What do you want to do in College?"

She blushed, the rosy pinkness bringing lively color to her cheeks, the previous ghost-like Naminé instantly disappearing. "I. . . I want to be an artist."

My eyebrows rose at the statement. I didn't expect something like that from her. Well actually, I'm not sure what I did expect from her. "Really? What kind of art?"

The rosy pinkness on her cheeks brightened up her face, and finally her bright eyes met mine. For once showing excitement in something. When she spoke, it was with passion. When she gestured, it was with animation. "I enjoy sketching, drawing, and painting, but I hope to be good at everything. I'm working on calligraphy right now."

"Calligraphy?"

She giggled, and the sound was so joyful, that I could barely believe that the sound was coming from the quiet, almost creepy girl that I was talking to this morning. "Yeah, calligraphy. It's the art of fancy lettering." I guess I still kind of looked confused or something, because she grinned. "Kind o f like extravagant handwriting."

I chuckled. "Really? I guess I should take study that too. My handwriting sucks."

She smiled at me, "It's not that hard. It's fun actually!"

I smiled, glad that she was suddenly so happy. Obviously, art was extremely important in her life. "Do you have anything on you?"

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What do you mean?"

I blinked, thinking that I had been pretty obvious in my question. But when I thought about it, I realized that I really wasn't. "I mean do you have any of your sketches or anything with you right now?"

Her eyes seemed to brighten even more and she opened her mouth to respond, but the stupid cash register dude screamed, "ORDER UP!"

And so, Sora walked over to me so we could pay the bill, and Kairi strode over to Naminé. Together, the two of us Hikari boys made our way to the cash register, all smiles. "Alright, your total is five hundred-forty munny."

I couldn't help but stare at the cashier guy. Just one of those creepy, blank like stares. You know, like it hadn't registered to me that I was supposed to take out my wallet and pay.

Oh, that's right. I didn't have to. Sora was paying for the five hundred, which was most of the total. I only had to pay forty munny, which was a little more expensive than the school lunch.

And so, I turned my gaze to my brother. "Sora, c'mon. Pay up."

He nodded, his expression one that I couldn't decipher. And that alone was beginning to worry me. He took the wallet out of his back pocket and opened it. A playful smirk on his face. "Oh, what do you know? Roxas, it turns out that I only have one hundred-fifty munny."

I blinked before bonking him on the head in anger. "You idiot! There's no way in hell that I'm paying three hundred and ninety munny for you! You said that breakfast was on you! I only agreed to pay whatever extra munny there was to pay!"

The smirk was still on his face, and now the whole freaking restaurant was staring at us. Geez. Why is there only one cash register open? Is that why they're all staring at us? Yeah, probably just impatient, hungry people. "Well, I don't have that kind of munny, Roxas. So unless you suddenly aren't hungry anymore, I suggest that you pay up."

I scowled at him before leaning in to whisper, "Sora. I only have three hundred munny. Either way, we don't have enough money to pay for this."

His eyes widened before he backed away from me in shock. "Oh crap. Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP." The cashier guy was giving us this super skeptical look now, but with this tint of anger. Uh-oh.

I ran towards him. "Let's just ask the girls."

Sora nodded, his eyes still wide. He began walking over towards the girls, while I turned to look at the cashier. "Uh, hold on one second."

When I got back to Kairi, Naminé, and Sora, I figured that Sora had already explained our predicament. Naminé had gone back to the quiet, ghost-like girl from before, leaving no trace of the excited girl I had been talking to just a few minutes ago. But now, she looked kind of nervous. Kairi on the other hand looked angry. "Dammit! Sora, I was looking forward to breakfast!"

He smiled nervously. "Yeah. Well. . . I figured that Roxas would have enough money!"

The auburn-haired girl and I turned to face him angrily. "YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD PAY!"

Sora waved us away, "Calm down you guys."

My eyes narrowed in anger. Calm down? There was no way in hell that I would calm down. "SORA! YOU'RE BEING RIDICULOUS! YOU SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING EARLIER!" I gestured madly with my arms, waving them high and crazily in the air as I continued to rant. "IF YOU HAD SAID THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE MUCH MUNNY, WE WOULD'VE GONE SOMEWHERE CHEAPER, AND WE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE FOOD! WHAT THE F-"

My rant was interrupted from a groan from behind me, and three shocked faces looking at me. I rolled my eyes, "Okay. What now-" But as I turned, I just . . . stopped talking.

Apparently while I had been waving my arms around like a madman, I had punched the cashier guy that had come over to probably kick us out of the restaurant. But not on purpose. Definitely.

The other customers in the café were staring at us like we were murderers now. But obviously this cashier dude was the only one currently in the store (maybe everyone else was out getting stock or something? Who knows.) because when a random girl in the audience started screaming at the top of her lungs, nobody came running after twenty seconds.

So either the manager just wasn't here, or he was just deaf.

It honestly doesn't matter to me.

I turned to face my friends, Sora and Kairi wearing an expression identical to mine. Naminé just look bewildered, but I figured she'd go along with it. I nodded at Sora who then screamed, "RUN AND TAKE ALL YOU CAN CARRY!"

Then the three of us ran like crazy to the counter, grabbing as much of the baked goods we could carry. It took Naminé a while to get over the initial shock of our badass-ness (yeah, I admit. We're pretty bad), but eventually she caught on and grabbed a whole armful of things too before following Sora and Kairi out the door.

While holding all the pastries in my arms, I managed to pull out the wallet from my back pocket. I took out what seemed like 100 munny (I'm not sure. I was in a rush, I didn't exactly have time to count), threw it on the counter, and then ran out the door after my partners-in-crime, the random people in the café staring at me in shock, while others screamed.

As soon as I caught up to them (they had the decency to wait for me outside the door), we took off running in the general direction of the school, attempting to stuff our faces with the stolen goods as we went.

"Craziest. Morning. EVER."

I snickered in agreement with my brother as Kairi giggled and Naminé smiled, the biggest one I've ever seen her smile mind you. "You've got that right."

When we finally got to school, it was already 7:20. Meaning that the first bell of the school year would be ringing in a little over ten minutes. Usually, our entire friend group tried to get to school early, like at seven-ish so we could all hang out in the courtyard.

So, it wasn't too surprising when the four of us were tackled by a mob of people.

It was Tidus that punched me and Sora on the arm. "Gosh, what took you guys so long? You guys didn't even have the decency to bring us some food!"

Sora laughed, "Well Tidus, you guys didn't help clean our kitchen."

Tidus rolled his eyes and pouted, before Hayner yelled (well he sort of had to over the mass chattering that was occurring throughout the school courtyard), "Did you guys get your schedules yet?"

I blinked. I had totally forgotten about that. "Naw, I'll just run over and get it now I guess. Sora, do you want to come?" I turned to face my brother, but he seemed to be relaying our "epic escape from Panera Bread and the rabid dogs that the manager sent to follow us," so since he was busy lying to Tidus who was totally eating it up, he probably didn't want to come. "Hey Kai, do you want to-" I turned to look at her, but she seemed to be introducing Naminé to a giddy Olette. Naminé seemed to hear what I had been saying though, because she smiled lightly in apology.

I scowled, I'd have to go in alone, because knowing the rest of my friends, they'd be too lazy to come with me if they weren't going to have a benefit. Hayner laughed at my expression before saying, "Don't worry, Pence is there."

It didn't really help, but I nodded before dashing off to the main office to get my schedule. But being the nice person I was, I guess I'd just go ahead and get Sora's, Naminé's, and Kairi's too. Just because I'm nice.

Lucky for me, there was no line to wait in. Everybody had probably come earlier than usual to pick up their schedules.

"Name?"

"Uh, Roxas Hikari. But I'm also picking up my brother, Sora Hikari's schedule, and my two friends, Naminé and Kairi Soto's schedules."

The old lady behind the counter nodded, and instantly handed me the four schedules. I blinked at her speed, and opened my mouth to ask her how she did that so fast, but she merely chuckled and said, "They were the last four left."

Riiiiight. "Oh, thank you!" I waved at her as I dashed out the door and back into the courtyard. I hadn't seen Pence, so knowing him, he had probably been dragged off on a last-minute tour with some of the Freshmen.

When I finally returned to my friend group, nothing had really changed. At all. They were all still talking amongst themselves, some of them not noticing me as I came up behind them panting heavily from my run. God, this was too much running for one morning.

"Uh, Roxas? You alright?"

I looked up at Olette, who looked slightly concerned at my state. I shook my head, before thrusting Naminé and Kairi's schedules at them. Sora was at the other side of the gigantic blob that was our friends, so I'd give his schedule to him later. Kairi grinned, and Naminé smiled, both thanking me for getting their schedules. It was then that I realized that I hadn't even looked at my schedule. Some people always worry about new schedules, because they think that they won't have any classes with their friends. But in Twilight Town Prep, no one really cares.

You see, Twilight Town Prep is one of those schools that believe that you shouldn't hold back your students. So based on average grades and end of the year finals, our school splits all of the kids into three different levels. The first level is the creepily smart kids, the second was for the average kids, and the third level were for those kids that . . . well, just needed some extra help. So it was cool, because they always put you with kids that were at your level, so you never had to be annoyed at a stupid question, or confused at an extremely detailed one. Plus, you're usually friends with people who are on the same level as you, so you usually ended up in a lot of classes with them. If you were on the same level as someone, you had all of your core classes together. Twilight Town Prep liked to teach in a college-like setting, so there were one-hundred kids in each core class. The number of people in an elective varied to the teacher's opinion, and as to how many kids wanted to take the elective.

Since our school was in a small town like Twilight Town, there were never more than one-hundred kids in each of the levels. The only time you really got to hang out with someone that may or may not be on your level, was in your elective classes.

But even though I'm usually not nervous when it came to schedules, I was nervous this time. You see, our friend group decided to try for the First Level this year, since it's our Senior Year. For some of us, like Kairi, Pence, Riku, and Olette, learning came easy. So throughout high school, they had been on the First Level, while the rest of us had been on the second. But since it was our last year, they insisted that we studied our butts off so we could all be on the same level, meaning more classes with them.

And thus, we all went through studying boot camp to prepare for our Finals in an attempt to pass into First Level. But we wouldn't know until which level we were placed in until we got our schedules.

I gulped, before opening up the folded piece of paper and actually reading it.

Student Schedule

Roxas James Hikari

Fourth Year Student

First Class Level

My eyes widened in joy, and I couldn't help but fist-pump the air. "HELL YEAH!"

My friends turned to look at me, smirks evident on all faces except Sora. It was Riku who spoke up, "Finally looked at your schedule, huh? I'm guessing you were put into First Level, too."

I grinned and nodded eagerly, temporarily ignoring Sora's expression of confusion. "Tidus, did you make it, too?"

He grinned and nodded. Sora guffawed at him. "Tidus made First Level! ? That means I definitely made it too!"

He ran at me, his eyes eager. I chuckled, and handed him his schedule. He opened it, eyes scanning the page. "AW YEAH, FIRST LEVEL, BABY!"

We all laughed at him. "Wow! I guess the studying paid off. We're all First Level!"

"Yeah! And Naminé too!"

Naminé blushed at the sudden attention as we all looked at her, smiles evident on our faces. We continued to cheer, until Kairi spoke up again, "Hey, where did Selph go?"

Xion's mouth shaped into a small "o", and she dashed off to who knows where. Kairi looked at Riku as if he would have an explanation, but he simply shrugged and said, "Probably bathroom."

Hayner pushed the others out of his way so that he could tell me something without yelling. "Did you read your schedule yet? Let's see how many classes we have together!"

I smiled and nodded, before re-opening the folded paper, and holding it out so that both of us could see it.

Student Schedule

Roxas James Hikari

Fourth Year Student

First Class Level

Period One: AP Astrology

Period Two: Guitar

Period Three: AP French

Period Four: AP Calculus

Period Five: AP English Language

Period Six: AP History

Period Seven: P.E.

I couldn't help but guffaw at all the Advanced Placement classes I was put into. Maybe being put on First Level wasn't so great after all. . .

Catching my expression, Hayner laughed. "Let's see. We have all our core classes together, plus P.E.!"

He cheered, before being pushed out of the way by my brother. "Ah, Roxie, what did you get?" I rolled my eyes at the nickname, but I couldn't keep the smile off my face. His eyes scanned my paper, before he grinned. "We have our whole schedule together! I guess twins really do stick together!"

I couldn't help but groan. Yay, more time for brother-bonding.

A Wishful Thought (A Note From The Author): Whoa. I'm not sure if I'm happy or not with this chapter. XD It's longer, but do you think I rushed through it? Nami seems a bit bipolar, doesn't she? Ah, I dunno.

So I totally based Twilight Town Prep off of my high school. XD There's three different levels too. The first one being called "The Monticello Program," which is where the smart people go. (I have no idea how I managed to snag one of the one hundred seats in this level. XD) The second one doesn't have a name, but is the average class, and the third level is called "The AVID Program." I know, I'm not very creative when it comes to forming my own imaginary high school. XD

I based Roxas' schedule off of mine too, but with a few tweaks cuz. . . Well, I'm not a Senior. XD

I was debating whether or not I should share everyone's schedules, but I figured it would get too confusing, which is why I decided that since they're on the same level, they would have all their core classes together. It's just easier that way. XD However, if you want a copy of them, I can send it to you. (:

Next chapter, Final Fantasy characters will be mentioned. Several of them. And some might even become main characters because I love them too much. XD

ANYWAY, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. :D It's my longest one so far. XP

Please review.
