Sorry, I know people don't really like the OCs, but they kind of disappear at the beginning of Part 2. The next chapter is a dream so there will be mainly Kingdom Hearts characters (Only OC is Elizabeth). And in defense for my OC's, my beta reader really liked them and was very upset when they... disappeared. Enjoy!

I do not own anything.

Part 1: Dreams Start

Chapter 1: The Road Trip

Okay. Shirts…check. Jeans… check. Sneakers, heels, flats, workout cloths, running shoes, fancy tops, skirts, winter coat, sweatshirts, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, mouthwash, hairbands, gloves, hairbrush, combs, boots, sleeping bag, shampoo, conditioner, lamp, extra blanket, pillow, pillow case, underwear, mascara, foundation, blush, eye liner, eye shadow, gloss, lipstick, and sixty dollars. Got all of that. I ran off my list in my head as I was zippering the suitcase.

"Helen come on! Is a three hour drive to Baltimore and check-in ends at noon. It's nine! We don't have any time to mess around!" my mother called from the bottom of the stairs in her high pitched voice.

"I'm coming!" I yelled after her as I put pens, pencils, my homework, a notepad, ipod Nano, DS, and my journal in my bag. For just about the last year I have been having these strange dreams. They are always about the same girl. Sometimes they are pleasant and others are nightmares. Name anything that could go wrong in your life and it has probably happened to her. She trusts no one, and has good reason too. Anyone that she loves either is murdered or she is torn from them.

"Helen, it's time to go!"

The sound of my mother yelling from the bottom of the stairs brought me back to reality where that girl didn't exist. I lugged my heavy suitcase down the stairs and out of the house where my mother put it in the trunk along with my duffle bag I put in there last night. I jumped into the front seat of our minivan and pulled out my iPod. To my surprise one of my favorite songs popped up first, Defying Gravity. I then took out my dark blue DS and began to play Kingdom Hearts: 365/2 Days as my mother slid into the car letting what little heat was in there escape.

December 12, 1995. It's such a weird day for a wedding. Wait a sec I'd better rewind and explain myself. Today isn't December 12, 1995, hell, I wasn't even born then. I was born in 1997, but that's not the point. My parents were married on December 12, 1995 and they decided that every fifteen years they would take another honeymoon. Today is December 3, 2010 and my parents are pulling me out of school and putting me on a whale watching boat while they go have fun in the Caribbean. The average kid may think, "Yay! No school!" and then their teachers remind them that they have replaced the ocean with their homework which makes them rethink their previous statement. And this isn't just any old three week whale watching trip. No, on this trip all minors are to give up three hours of sleep or free time to watch for whales and they have to sit through every documentary about whales ever written every stinking day.

I looked away from the DS to look at the rolling hills of snow. I was blinded by the brilliant sparkle of the sun reflection off the newly laid snow. The gently falling snow hit our windshield and was swept away before it could completely melt from the heat of the car. I saw the waves that the wind made on the snow like the rolling sea I was to be on a mere three hours from now.

The beeping brought me back to the DS. Roxas was being mercilessly attacked by a Shadow heartless. Kingdom Hearts: 365/2 Days is about a young boy named Roxas who is suddenly thrust into the world of Organization XIII, to top that he has no idea who he once was. This is his story of finding his past along with his to best friends, Xion and Axle. I was on one of the lower levels where Axel was 'babysitting' Roxas on one of their missions. Tap. Tap

"Do you want coffee or not?" my mother asked form the other side of the glass.

"Sorry!" I said as I jumped out of the minivan. We were at a Dunkin Doughnuts in town. Mom locked the car and we waded into the store.

"Next! How may I help you?" a teen asked from behind the counter. I couldn't help noticing that he was a bit of a pizza face.

"Two decaf coffees, two coffee rolls, a chocolate glazed doughnut, and a chocolate cream doughnut." My mother said.

"Make one of those coffees a regular." I told the teen. I didn't care if my mother was glaring at me. I needed the caffeine!

"Two doughnuts, two coffee rolls, and two coffees. That'll be eleven fifty."

My mother gave the teen a ten and a five; he gave her the change back, which she then dumped in the tip jar.

"Thanks." He said with a smile as he looked at the tip jar. We went back out to the car and feasted on the sugar filled doughnuts. We then set off for Baltimore.

I went back to the iPod and the DS. This time For Good was playing on my iPod. A few moments later a phrase caught me '…like a hand print on my heart…' I pressed the reply button on the iPod to listen to the song from the beginning. Each phrase seemed to have a special meaning the second time around, like a blank piece of paper with a single black dot in its center. The thing is, if you are not looking directly at something then you can't truly see what it is. So by trying to see what the entire song is trying to say is like looking at the entire paper which means that you can't see what the black dot truly is. When I tried to just look at the phrases individually, the dot, I couldn't find its meaning. Like the dot, the phrase was deceptively void of meaning, void of color.

Despite the coffee I could barely keep my eyes open. I saved my game a turned off the DS. My eyes closed and I fell asleep to the sounds of Wicked.

Thanks for reading! (hint; the songs she is listening to are not important now but come back towards the end[which I haven't written yet...]).
