Dear Journal,

I am so excited! I am almost done packing up my suitcase to go on vacation! Me, my mom and, My dad are all going to Centurion Islands over summer vacation. We are going to be there for two months… but its cool, 'cause most of my family lives there anyways. The only bad part of this vacation is the 2 day trip getting there… by boat, but who knows it could be fun! Well, I better scram, its almost time to head down to the boat docks.

Love always Nam.

The salty air filled my lungs as I took in a deep breath of the sweet ocean air. The morning air was crisp, somewhat cold but at the same time it felt good. I knew this adventure would be an amazing experience… but I had no idea just what exactly was in store.

I walked behind my mom and dad as they boarded the large vessel, I handed the man my ticket and then walked up a large wooden ramp. The old wood creaked and bowed with every step I took. I held onto the handrail so tight, my knuckles began to turn white.

"Namine, come on this way" my mom said as she motioned for me to follow her. She was a bit shorter than me, with short blonde hair and pale blue eyes.

"I'm right behind you mother" I groaned as I followed along behind her.

Soon, we found our cabin. It was on the lower deck, inside was, a living room, two bed rooms and a big bath room. I didn't want to unpack… I just wanted to be on the island with my family… I hadn't ever been to their island before… so I was getting the butterfly's in my stomach and I felt a little weird.

"Mom, I think I am going to go and take a nap for a while… before dinner" I said looking into the living room area of our cabin.

"Okay dear, just be ready in time for dinner" she said as she was unpacking her belongings.

I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes, the ship was rocking from side to side as the waves outside crashed upon it. We had been on board for about two hours by the time I had finally laid down. I sighed and took in a deep breath then, I drifted off into a deep sleep.

I soon woke up about an hour or two later. As I sat up in my bed I couldn't hear anything… so I quickly ran out of my room, but no one was in my cabin. I rushed out of the cabin and into a hall way. But I still herd nothing. No very scared and panicked I ran up stairs onto the deck of this ship but no one was in sight… I ran around a corner and something hit into my head, I hit the ground fast. I blinked my eyes a few times… then the light turned to darkness, and I passed out.

The sound of seagulls soon rang out in my ears, I sat up in a flash. Looking around, I was no longer in my warm bed aboard the ship… I was on a beach, in the sand. The waves rolled peacefully up the sandy shore and the sea foam was putting a mist across my face. I began to stand up but, I was feeling a little dizzy still. I tucked my long blonde hair behind my ears and, wiped off my face.

'Where am I? where is my mom? Where did the ship go?' I began thinking to myself… I was on an island I hadn't ever seen before… and I didn't recognize anything.

I stood up and began to walk along the shore, I was scanning everything around me… every pebble, every grain of sand, every palm tree… until I finally saw someone…

"Hello…" I said quietly, but she didn't hear me… "HELLO" I said louder, the girl stopped and turned around. I slowly and cautiously began to walk over to her

"Hey…" She said, looking at me as if she had just seen a ghost

"I… I think I'm lost can you help me?" I asked her as I put my hands in my pocket

"Well… I've never seen you around here before but maybe I can help" she said in a cheerful voice

"Oh thank you so much!" I said with a big smile

"My names Kairi" she said as she reached out for my hand. Her auburn hair swayed in the breeze

"I'm Namine" I said as we shook hands

"Come on, follow me I think I know someone who can help!" Kairi said as she lead me through the palm trees. We walked for a few minutes until we came to a good sized clearing. And on the far side away from me and Kairi where a few buildings…

"Where are we going?" I asked very quietly

"We are gunna go visit my best friend Sora, He'll know what to do!" she said, in the most positive voice I had herd in a long time

We walked up to a small building, that had a blanket for a door on it. Kairi led me inside of it. Once we where in the building, my eyes focused and I could see a tall boy standing in front of me. He had chocolate brown colored hair that was long and spiky, and he had beautiful sapphire colored eyes that sparkled so brightly, even in the darkness of the room.

"Sora! We need your help" Kairi said in an urgent sounding voice, Sora looked at me, and his eyes widened and he too looked like he had just seen a ghost

"Hey…I am Namine" I said with a slight wave… I was so nervous

"Howdy. The names Sora" the tall thin boy said with a cheesy grin

"So, do you think you can help us find out where Namine came from Sora? Kairi asked, she smiled at the boy in front of her. I could tell she liked him, she was so happy with every word he uttered to her

"I think so… but first" Sora said turning to face me "What's the name of your world?" he asked me in a very serious voice

"The name… of my world…" I said very confused

"You know… worlds… like here is Destiny Island, then there's places like Hollow Bastion, Traverse Town… you know" he said trying to explain it to me… but I was still very lost

"Er.. I live on an Island but there are 100's of islands around me. Mine is Sydney Island" I said hoping that answered his question

"Right…" he said scratching the back of his head and looking at Kairi. She shrugged and closed her eyes… trying to think really hard it looked like

"That's it!" She said quickly opening her eyes and looking at Sora

"What's it? You know where she came from?" He said looking extremely puzzled

"We don't know where she came from because she's a…." Kairi said then closing her eyes again. It was as if she could see it all in her mind.. Like it came to her and then would vanish once again, as if she knew who I was but I didn't know who she was

"Well then…she's a what?" Sora asked impatiently

"Wait she's trying to remember me!" I said in the most confident voice I possibly could

"But we've never even met you" Sora said quietly
