I've been having these weird dreams… of a world where everything is different… is any of it real? Can it be real? And more importantly: Who is that boy…who looks just like…me?

Chapter -1: Similarities

There was a man leaning against a rock on a beach. He wore a black jacket that covered his whole body except for his head. He waited as he looked to the horizon of the ocean. The moon was bright as it was setting into the dark ocean which was ready to engulf it. The man heard a swirling. He turned to see what it was. A few black specks flew around. They then concentrated onto a spot and came together. Little by little, the specks materialized into a person, a woman, to be exact. "So you have arrived," said the man. The woman was wearing the same jacket as the man, but had her hood up. "You're late," he said as the woman walked towards him. "Meh, what are you gonna do?" she said. The man chuckled. "I've been to see him…" he started, "He really does look a lot like her."

"Do we need them?" the woman asked.

"They are both special, but we only need one."

"Then may I suggest the girl? It gets lonely being the only one here."

The man laughed. "So be it."

"It doesn't matter," said an unknown voice, "we just need to replace one person. It's not that important." Another man materialized sitting on a twisted tree nearby.

"Oh, it's important," said the first man. "No one can just join. You should know just as much as the rest of us that there are conditions that must be met."

"Yeah, yeah," said the second.

It was silent for a moment. To prevent getting bored, the woman brought up a question to the second man, "So… what are you?" The man took his hood off. It revealed the face of a fox with dark-brown fur with eyes that were almost colorless. He had platinum blonde hair, with bangs with red streaks and werelong enough to cover one eye. "I think I'm a fox… I don't know how it happened…"

"Maybe it's this world," said the first man, "Maybe nature requires it that all on the planet is an animal, and we just adapted."

"…That's stupid," said the woman.

"But apparently, so are you," said the second man.

"WHAT!?"

"I meant you're apparently a fox too."

"Oh. Well apparently I am." She took off her own hood. She had a reddish coat of fur and crimson hair that went to her neck.

"You know," the first man said, "in the parallel universe, there is someone who looks just like that. Fiona, I believe, is her name."

The woman was too bored to acknowledge what he said and continued talking to the second man. 'Fine, ignore me' thought the first man. She suddenly started laughing. "HAHA!! I'm sorry it's just that I can't imagine ZEXION with BLONDE hair! Especially with RED streaks!" Zexion frowned. "Oh, haha. You were blonde too, Larxene."

"Hehe, not anymore," she said as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"So what about you, Mr. Superior?" Larxene said, referring to the first man, who was in fact the leader of their Organization. "I know your hood's been off, but I still couldn't tell…"

The Superior had a silver coat of fur with quills that almost defied gravity. He had a glowing blue circle in the center of each hand that could be seen through the gloves they were wearing. "I think I'm a hedgehog of some sort," he said. "It's interesting how these quills, if they are quills, curve upwards."

"Well, like I said before," said Zexion, "I don't think it really matters whether we choose the boy or not. They are almost indistinguishable. The only apparent differences are their clothes. The girl normally wears a pink dress with a flower imprinted on it, while the boy wears a gray button-up shirt that's normally unbuttoned and reveals a blue shirt underneath. And he also wears pants with 10 too many pockets."

"You talk like you're describing them for a story or something," said Larxene.

"That's not the point," he said. "I was saying: do as you will. I don't care." He turned and flipped over to lie down on the tree.

"You wouldn't mind if you get her, will you, Zexion?" said the Superior. "Of course not," he replied. He then dozed off.
