"Sora? Sora!"

The brunette blinked, Kairi's voice bringing him back to reality. "Kairi?"

"What? No." The owner of the voice moves to get closer -he can tell by the shuffling of her feet- and he moves to sit up. "Whoa, take it slow, kid."

"Where's Kairi? I wanna talk to her," Sora mumbles, holding a hand to his forehead.

"What would you want with her? Kairi hasn't said a word in years."

Hearing that, Sora turned to get a good look at the person who was talking. "Yuffie?"

"You know you aren't supposed to call me by my first name, Sora." She held out a small cup with a red pill inside, a glass of water in the other. "Now take your meds. We don't need another episode like yesterday happening again."

Sora blinked and his head tilted. "A w-what?" Yuffie motioned to the pill instead of answering and he frowned, grabbing the pill. He placed it on his tongue and took the glass, drinking from it. The pill went down rather smoothly and he looked up at Yuffie.

"Lunch is in an hour." She flashed him a smile before she turned, taking the glass back. She ruffled his hair and turned to leave the room, eager to help the next patient.

Sora waited until she was out of the room before he got out of bed, moving to look out the window. What he was faced with was a bunch of trees. A forest, by the looks of it – or maybe they were just woods. He pressed a hand to the glass and was surprised to feel that it was cold.

Winter is coming.

He pulled back and looked around his room. There were stickers of stars and spaceships on the walls and there were pictures of fairytales hanging around the room. He walked up to one of the pictures that looked handmade. It was him and a blonde girl, holding hands and smiling.

"...Namine." So she was here, too. Wherever here is, that is. He tugged at the white clothes he wore, feeling strange without his usual clothes, as he walked out of the room. He glanced this way and that, making sure the hallway was clear before he took a right and headed where his feet wanted to take him.

He ended up in a sort of a rec-room. There were people he recognized, people he didn't. Cautiously, he entered the room. No one seemed to notice him and he felt a tug at his heart. Did no one recognize him? Running a hand through his spikes, he found an empty chair in the middle of the room and sat, fingers tapping against the tabletop.

"Watch it, pipsqueak. That's my seat," said a voice, a growl soon following from behind him.

"Pete?" Sora turned to look up at a large man that certainly looked like Pete, except he was human. He stared up at him in confusion.

"Are you gonna move or am I gonna hafta make ya move?" The Pete-look-alike asked, furry brows pulled together, large stomach sticking out.

"But I was sitting here first."

"I dun' care if you were, it's my seat."

"Well I'm not moving." Sora sat up straight, brows pulling together now. He had gotten the seat first and he wasn't going to be bullied out of it. He had to figure out what was going on first, anyway. He flinched when Pete raised his first, eyes shutting tightly, waiting for the punch. A yelp escaped his lips as he was yanked out of the seat and was thrown onto the floor.

"Sorry about that, Pete. Here's your chair, Pete," another familiar voice said. Before Sora had a chance to open his eyes to see whom it belonged to, he was pulled forcibly to his feet, and then he was dragged through the room, watching Pete sit in the chair, the legs struggling to support him. "Are you insane?" The voice asked before it paused. "… Of course you are. Why else would you be here?" It muttered.

Sora pushed the other off of him only to face one of the few people he had been dying to find. He jumped forward, arms wrapping around his neck. "Riku!"

"H-hey." Riku patted Sora's back in a form of comfort before he pulled back to look at him. "You know better than to mess with Pete, Sora. Remember what happened to Goofy?"

"Goofy's here too?" Sora frowned. "Wait… What happened to him?"

"Seriously kid." Riku shook his head. "You've gotta get your head out of the clouds." A soft chuckle left his lips and it brightened Sora's spirits.

"We have to find the King and find out why everyone's stuck here and acting weird," Sora said, taking a hold of Riku's covered arm and leading him back into the hallway.

"Whoa, hold on." Riku took Sora's hand off of his arm, rubbing the spot as if it had hurt. "Did you not take your medicine again?"

Sora frowned at him. "What?" He looked at Riku's sleeved arms and shook his head. "Yuffie gave them to me. Why are you wearing long sleeves? It's hot in here."

Riku's gaze narrowed slightly and he hid his arms behind his back. "Don't worry about it. I think maybe you should go back to your room for now, Sora. C'mon, before Madame Maleficent finds you out without permission again."
