As much as Snow loved riding his bike to wherever he felt, he didn’t like having to stop at gas stations. Not because he necessarily hated gas stations but he felt like a lot of the time, trouble just had a way of finding him at a gas station. Hopefully this time would be different but he had a feeling it wouldn’t be.

The sun was beating down as he walked towards the gas station doors. This month had been particularly warm so he’d been stopping at gas stations a little more often for bottles of water and snacks. Sure enough, as soon as he walked in, he heard a scream coming from the bathroom.

At first he was going to ignore it but the scream sounded like it was coming from a kid. He couldn’t ignore a kid in trouble no matter how hard he tried. Really hope this isn’t anything too bad. He knocked on the locked bathroom door and tried to calm whoever the kid was in there down. “Hey kid you okay?”

After much screaming, Neku finally decided to fully dunk his head into the sink full of water. If it was wet, the second it dried he'd be able to style it any way he wanted to. Right?

Wrong.

There was no hairdryer and air drying made his hair frizz up. And thus ~ cue more loud swearing and yelling. The only reason Neku even stopped his outrageous cries was because he heard someone enter the bathroom. 

“Hey kid you okay?”

.........

...........

Neku slowly moved the, now wet, hair out of his face and stared straight into the eyes of a much taller, bigger older man. The anger Neku had held before quickly disappeared as he was now faced with complete embarrassment. Had this man heard all the profanities that escaped Neku's mouth? The mirror in front of himself proved that his blush was more red than ever.

"I-I..." Neku stuttered, too confused about everything going at the moment. "Yeah. Okay. I'm okay. I'm good. Perfect. Never been better. How are you?"

[skyyprince-blog]

"It’s… it’s really hard to explain. We’d be here for days if I tried to tell you about it."

[psychokick-blog]

"Yyyyeaaaaah. Don't got days for this explanation. Well, whatever, we've got two legs I guess we can put them to use. Any idea where we should start searching?"

She couldn’t breathe. Shades of turquoise surrounded her, as did the swimming creatures. Fully submerged in the ocean, mouth puffed to hold the maximum amount of oxygen one could, she tried swimming to the surface. Sharks laughed, dolphins growled, seahorses skittered past her rapidly moving arms. One particular fish she recognised bumped into her stomach, in shocked effect her breath was released from her mouth. Chest burning with the need to exhale, she kicked past the yellow flounder, reaching for the sky. 

She didn’t make it.

Naminé jolted from her makeshift bed, hands slick with sweat. ‘Oh…’ she mumbled, smearing them down the sides of her nightgown. Once they were dry she lifted her fingers to her face and started biting the skin around her nails, determining what could have instigated the nightmarish dream to happen. While she was doing so, she didn’t notice the thumping outside until it was glaringly obvious to those who could hear. 'Is someone out there…' Naminé spoke the words silently, removing the appendages from her nibbling teeth. 'If I intend to check, I should…ah, there it is.' The blonde picked up a palette knife she had tucked in a paint set she bought from the Tram Common, gripping it in her fist. 'Alright, let's…let's go, Naminé.'

"This is stupid, and useless." Neku groaned, dropping his hand from the door and placing it into his pants pocket. Just as he was about to turn around, the door swung open. His eyes widened, surprised that there was someone alone living here in this abandoned looking house. What was even weirder was that this girl was no older than Neku himself. 

"Uh..." he started, slowly before dropping his eyes to the tool in your hand. "Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoawhoawhoawhoahwoa."

he quickly pulled his hands out of his pockets and raised them in the air, "I mean no harm, I swear! Now put the... uh, object down..." 

[skyyprince-blog]

"My dream eaters?"

"Yeah I still have them, but I can only summon them in the sleeping worlds. Which this world we’re in right now is not one of."

[psychokick-blog]

"Sleeping... worlds?"

"What"

[crystallindia]

"Alright~ Alright~ I’ll stop." she sang, still wearing a mischievously bright smile.

"Asia? Never heard of a place like that. Is it like Gran Pulse?" The only conclusion she could draw was Japan was Neku’s village. As cynical as Neku seemed, it looked like he really did miss his home. "You’ll find your way back, I’m sure." she replied. "You might even find your friends and family here too!" 

[psychokick-blog]

Neku glares at the smile Vanille wears on her face. He knows that she'll continue to tease him another time but for now he was safe, so that was good.

Not knowing Japan was one thing but not knowing the entire continent of Asia?! That was impossible. Did Vanille fail geography or something? Did she even go to school at all?! She had to have been playing a joke on him... or something. There was no way in hell she was being serious! Well, a jokes a joke so Neku decided to play along.

"Yeah. Asia's pretty big, cool place, y'know?" He then crosses his arms, tilting his head in thought, "can't say I've heard of Gran Pulse though, whereabouts is it?"

Vanille's reassurance lifted Neku's mood a bit. He didn't expect just a few simple words to put a smile on his face. Now more than ever, Neku was more than glad to have Vanille's positive attitude with him. "Thanks. I hope I find everyone too. Being alone kinda... sucks, huh?"

Neku was 15 years old. 15 whole years old and never and his life has he ever encountered a problem like this one. He stood in front of the mirror in a gas station's public washroom as he stares at the mess on his head in horror. There was one piece of hair on his head, one stupid piece that would not go the direction it was supposed to go in and he was beginning to get more than pissed off.

"RrrghhhhhhgaaaaaaaaaGHHHHH!!!!!"

The anger that was boiling in his head was starting to cloud his thought process, causing Neku to completely forget the fact that he was in public. Who cared, though?! His hair wasn't perfect and this was a broken law!!

"Go! Back! In! Place!" he yelled at the piece of hair, using the last glob of his gel to attempt to stick it in place. The second he let the hair stand on its own without the support of his hands, he watched as it slowly drooped back down onto his head.

"AAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHHH"

[crystallindia]

"Forgive me too?"

So, she did go a little overboard. “I couldn’t help it, it was kind of cute of you.” It was the truth, Vanille couldn’t help but to tease him and get a cute reaction out of a kid like him. But the Oerban’s attention was now on the place Neku mentioned. “Ja….pan?” she blinked, canting her head. She had never hear of that place before anywhere. It was to be expected with all these new worlds, but she was still curious. “What’s it like there?” she asked with a big smile. 

[psychokick-blog]

Cute?! There was nothing cute about him! Neku could slowly begin to feel his face redden even more-- if that was even possible seeing as he thought he was already red enough. "I-I'm not cute, okay! Stop saying that!!"

Once Neku realized that the confusion on Vanille's face wasn't fake, he couldn't help but question what rock she'd been living under her whole life. C'mon, who doesn't know of Japan?! She definitely had to be from Antarctica or something. "It's, uh, in... Asia? It's nice, I guess. Once upon a time I used to think it was loud, annoying and obnoxious but now that I'm here... I kind of miss it." 

[skyyprince-blog]

"Lost her, got separated, kinda the same thing when you think about it, Neku."

[psychokick-blog]

[glares]

"Okay, fine, yes it's the same thing."

"By the way, still got your dream eaters? It'd be faster than walking if we road a bigger one around the area or something."

Walking around Twilight Town was a much nicer feel for Neku, compared to the loud, crazy districts of Traverse Town. The air was calmer, the people were relaxed and the everlasting sunset was the perfect mood for casual walks.

With his music blasting and head held low, Neku eventually finds himself lost in a forest. "God dammit..." he mutters to himself,

annoyed by his own obliviousness to the world around him. After walking for more time than necessary, he finds himself out of the mess of trees, standing before him is a large mansion. He looks up towards it, holding his hand up high to shield the setting sun from his eyes. The place looked old and abandoned, but with some stroke of luck Neku would be able to find someone inside and hopefully get some assistance in escaping the forest. He walks in past the large gates and up towards the steps.

Knock, knock

"This is probably useless..." he mutters to himself. The mansion's yard wasn't attended to in months and the building was beginning to fall apart. There's no way anyone would be in this building.

[skyyprince-blog]

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway if you’re here then maybe your partner is too? Or did you lose her again?"

[psychokick-blog]

"Maybe she's here... I hope she is..."

"But hey I didn't lose her okay! We just got separated!" 

[psychokick-blog]

// ooc HEY FFT just wondering if anyone wanted to start a thread!! Like this post or leave an ask and we can start something yay

[skyyprince-blog]

"Right. Amnesia, sure. Is that what they call it nowadays?"

[psychokick-blog]

"Hey--! It's true and you know it!"

"I don't know why I'm here, I just am, okay?" 

[crystallindia]

"Vanille!" she pouted, correcting him. Well, it was a close enough guess and it was better than a certain other’s guess but still. "But nice to meet you too, Neku!" 

"I don’t know though, you seem a little red in the face." Vanille teased, clasping her hands behind her back. Neku seemed a little standoffish to her. maybe he wasn’t used to talking to others? Maybe she was making a little too much fun for herself if that was the case. 

[psychokick-blog]

Neku scratches the back of his head, embarrassed at his bad hearing. "Vanille. Got it, sorry." He pulled the headphones off of his ears and onto his neck so that we wouldn't run into this problem again. 

"I-I'm not red!" This girl, Vanille, seemed to love poking fun at Neku and it was slowly starting to irk him. He didn't want to be friends with someone who was going to constantly tease him! "Y-you're just seeing things. I'm pale! Born and grew up in Japan so I'm most definitely not red"

[skyyprince-blog]

"…you have no idea why you’re here do you?" 

[psychokick-blog]

...Looks around sheepishly...

"S-shut up. I have amnesia, remember!"

Her smile grows a little mischievous as he turns away, moving to face him again.

"Y’don’t have to be so shy, I don’t bite. My name’s Vanille! You?"

[psychokick-blog]

Neku was supposed to be nice and kind and he was supposed to be making friends what was he doing acting like this!!! He couldn't help it though, old habits die hard and this walking piece of bubblegum was reminding him a little too much of Shiki.

"I'm not shy!" He pouts then raises an eyebrow at her name. "Vanilla? Uh, nice to meet you... I'm Neku."
