A/N: Introducing the prologue-chapter in the next story in my AU. Don't expect every chapter to be this short ;) Keep a lookout for "Keeping Them Together." Also this AU needs a name, any suggestions? See A/N at the end.

Twilight Town, a world perfectly balanced between the realm of Dark and the realm of Light. Not everyone from Twilight Town came from that world, Axel was one of them. He laid in bed, reminiscing the past. Somehow between the brilliant blue sky of Radiant Garden and the soft afternoon hue's of Twilight Town, he prefered the later. Maybe because he no longer considered Radiant Garden his home. Here he had freedom, here he had a new life, here he had something more important than anything else. Roxas.

He remembered the day he met the kid. Axel had left Radiant Garden and had been living in Twilight Town for sometime when he ran into the then young child in outskirts of town. A child with no memory of who he was or where he came from, the only thing he knew was his name. Axel cursed his heart and immediately took the child in, despite still being an older teen himself. At first Axel's goal was to take in the kid just long enough for someone to adopt the boy, but then Roxas became unexpectedly attached to him. Roxas would cling to Axel like a lifeline, for weeks the only thing he'd say was "Axess." Axel couldn't leave Roxas alone with any other adult without Roxas bursting into tears. He didn't want to admit it, but over time he became protective of the kid to the point where, against all reason, Axel became Roxas's legal guardian. Since then Axel worked hard to get a better life for himself and his new little brother.

Everything changed for the better the day he ran into Scrooge McDuck. The business typhoon was in Twilight Town testing out a new ice cream flavor that was a big hit back in Radiant Garden. Scrooge recognized Axel and invited him over for a free snack. Scrooge heard Axel's story, then he was introduced to Roxas. Scrooge was both so surprised and proud of Axel's action that he actually challenged him. The goal? A business that Scrooge would fund. And that's how Axel became the owner of a pizzeria. Everything had been nothing but uphill since then. His business had been booming, Roxas went from a small scared child to the sassy annoying teenager that Axel adored.

Or at least that is what would have happened, if this Twilight Town was real. So instead Axel laid in bed, grateful he had new life, even if was temporary. For once he had peace, for once he had freedom for once. Most importantly he had Roxas, they were safe, they were together. And very soon she'd join them, and they'd all be together once again. He'd bring them back together, and he'd keep all three of them together.
