The Keys Unlocked: Not exactly as happy as my others, but more exciting, forgive spelling and grammar, and I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Summary:
All Kaela wanted was to meet each and every Kingdom Hearts character without fighting. And when she gets lost on her way to work, and a mysterious old man grants it, she finds she isn't thrilled. Until she meets characters that were never in the game.
Is Disney hiding four dark secrets?
Life isn't easy.
Usually when people read this line they get ready to prepare theme selves for some sob story.
But a Kaela's life was not easy.
She had no sob story to blame it on though, no incredibly unfortunate thing that had happened to her, no unfair circumstances.
Kaela was just an Ace card in game of Hearts.
And if you know anything about Hearts, the point is scoring low, and High Ace will throw anyone off track.
But Kaela didn't mind being an Ace; in fact she wouldn't change it for the world.
She was slumped on her couch, thick rimmed glasses were reflection the brightly colored TV screen in the darkly lit room.
One of her nagging bad habits, She constantly forgot to turn off her TV and would fall asleep in the chair.
Than when she awoke with a horrible cramp and her neck and a thin lifeless Sora floating on the screen, she would wonder why her parents even bought her a bed.
She had tried beating Demyx for the forth time, and no luck had been thrown her way. She stunk at fighting. Maybe no what she thought Kingdom hearts was not her game.
But somewhere in the fifth time she had fallen asleep, the cramp proved it.
She hauled herself up, stealthily walking around the messy pile of clothes.
Her window shutters were barely open, letting in cracks from the light of day, giving Kaela a sure sign that she was late to work.
She quickly got dressed and ran.
Usually people can feel when someone is watching them. But for Kaela she had no idea. No idea that was following her, contacting people somewhere in a completely different world, just about her downfall.
And she had no idea today would be any different until she walked into Subway. Kaela worked at the local sandwich place, and expect for the fact the actual sandwiches disgusted her and she would never eat there, it was a fine place to work.
She opened the door slowly tossing her dark brown hair behind her shoulder.
"I'm sorry I'm..."
"Late."
Her usual subway shop was replaced with…
The rows of counters were sandwiches were served were gone. Tall dusty shelves filled with different objects. An old looking man sat behind a desk where the door to the back room had once been.
"Excuse me, I'm sure I'm in the right place, where am I?"
The old man smiled and got up, putting down his book, and taking a deep breath, getting ready for a long explanation.
Kaela glanced around the shelves there nicks knacks and assortment of things, several of them caught her eye, but out on his desk she saw a gold lamp.
Weird.
He smiled and said, "You like the lamp?"
Kaela kept staring at it, her eyes locked in place, but she looked away with a confused expression on her face.
"No! I mean it's nice, but it looks...familar."
His smiled widened, and he walked over to her snagging the lamp off his desk as he came.
"I have a wish left you know? Would you like to give me some advice?"
She once again stared at him confused. What a strange beard he had, she noticed.
"What would you wish for?"
Kaela nodded as if now she understood. She looked around the room. Hanging on a far wall was some strange looking heart. Actually it looked like a key, and then it reminded her of what she would wish for.
"I want to meet all the Kingdom Hearts Characters."
It was true she did. She wanted to see Riku in his new outfit, but she couldn't get past the stupid levels, it wasn't her fault she wasn't good at fighting.
The old man raised his eyebrows, as if he was questioning her.
"Without fighting."
He smiled again.
"Of course good choice and you've entered the wrong store Subway is down the street a little ways."
Kaela grinned a thanks, and ran out it wasn't until she was almost into Subway when she thought of something.
How did he know I was going to Subway?
Even though work was absolutely horrible, Kaela could always crash at home.
Her parents were still at work, so she settled up stairs in her room. Turning on the T.V, she got ready to fight Demyx...again. She actually thinks she could, but instead of seeing lifeless Sora she didn't see anything.
Just two of the familiar red and blue options.

Game Over
She shrugged and clicked continue, maybe it would ware off.
But the controller vibrated, and kept vibrating she dropped it. She didn't like the vibration setting she always turned it off, with all the times she got hit she didn't need the extra buzz.
She wasn't starting to panic until her lights began flickering, and she was staring at her controller bouncing on the ground up and down.
With her continue still selected, she should just turn it off.
But as she reached over to touch the power off she found that her black power button was suddenly bright red.
That was definitely weird.
She stopped and backed up falling into her chair, except it was an iridescent orange color.
Infact her whole room was decorated brightly
She flung herself backwards.
It wasn't that she didn't like bright colors; she was just a little more dark blue.
She gazed around her room, but was caught her attention most was the giant window. It gave a view of a dark sky, which made her note that she wasn't on the ground-
Or in her room.
A squeaky voice chirped over an intercom.
"Hello, and welcome to the Gummi Ship, But I thought you weren't doing this anymore, Sora."
"Dale, that's not Sora, it's a girl."
Kaela frowned slightly at that.
"Really? Let me see!"
Kaela got up and walked over to where the sound was coming from.
"Uh Hello?"
A door opened up out of no where. And as Kaela got ready to defend herself from who ever was about to kick her out, her mouth dropped open.
Walking out was two nicely dressed chipmunks.
Kaela backed onto her chair again.
She stared at them with frightened eyes.
" Wh-what is going on?"
The chipmunks stared at each other than in unison, shrugged and replied.
"We don't know, we'll call the king!"
The walked back into the room behind the door.
"See Chip, this is what happens when we go for unauthorized test drives!"
Kaela held her head in her hands.
Ok, she could do this, put two and two together and what did she get. She searched the corners of her brain for an answer. Gummi ship, Chipmunks who could drive, and strange floating objects in the sky.
No don't tell me!
Chip and Dale came back in salute.
"You're our new mission Miss. Kaela Huston."
The squeaky voices chirped.
"What do you mean mission?!"
Chip and Dale looked at each other confused.
"I guess you should talk to the king, follow us!"
Kaela staring at the various parts of the room followed them into the room. Their was a few large monitors. One showing the now empty front part of the Gummi ship, and others showing different things, worlds she didn't recognize.
It looked a little different from the one in the game.
One of the dark fuzzy screens flickered to life, and a big pair of ears and eyes looked down at them.
"Golly, Chip, Dale, who's this?"
Kaela's jaw was now unhinged in shock.
"Your majesty, this is that girl Kaela."
Mickey leaned closer to the screen; he was in some sort of basement, one which Kaela could not see clearly with Mickey blocking it.
But he looked sort of nervous, as if he was expecting something.
Chip and Dale were still saluting him, when they asked in a uniform military voice.
"King Mickey will you explain our new mission to her?"
But their was a cry in the background of where the King was. It was sharp and breaking against the quiet sending sounds of terror revolving throughout the room.
Mickey looked torn back and forth.
"I've got to leave, the report should come soon!"
Kaela was still processing everything, as the screen blacked out.
The chipmunks looked at each other, before jumping onto one of the desks, and pressing a certain amount of the brightly colored buttons.
Kaela was about to say something, but a voice chirped from behind her.
"Oh!"
The squeaking silenced as the rattling begun, Kaela followed the sound, to a strange looking machine with a piece of paper promptly sticking out the front of it.
She grabbed it out, not waiting for Chip and Dale in the other room.
And fortunately it was addressed, and about her.
Kaela,
As your wish came true, thanks to a genie, and no fighting as promised will come to you.
But that does not mean that you can't be endangered in other ways.
For you to return back to your normal life, you must meet (quoting from your wish) each and every Kingdom Hearts character.
Or you will never be able to come home.
And remember that there are not just 'characters' that were featured in the game you played. What happened to those who live in the towns that you never met?
As all adventure in our worlds help us, your will too.
But how many and which one, will be up to you.
Remember this last word of advice.
Four are lost, and four have to be found.
Kaela folded it up, sighing. Why must all letters be in riddles?
"Chip, Dale?"
The two looked up at her with their big chipmunk eyes.
"Shouldn't we go?"
They gave her the familiar look back and forth then grinned and saluted.
"Yup, you got to drive though!"
Kaela looked shocked, she didn't even have her permit yet, she would this year, but she couldn't drive this thing.
Well if Sora, and the Donald, who was a duck could she could try.
The Gummi Battles had been the only thing she was good at. Course they were nearly impossible to die at but she could do this.
Kaela nervously took the wheel.
The engine roared to life, as it begun to start up from just drifting.
She set her sights on the sky
Its mercy dark colors swarmed around the sky, the stars were blinking through the clouds, but for instants the sky turned dark. You could only see the areas illuminated by the headlights, until the stars came back.
But some were brighter crying out for help, but the brightest one was the closest one in view. Straight ahead and stronger then the rest.
As she slowly started out, she found that you traveled a lot faster than in the game. Maybe they had enhanced it for the fun.
But she didn't think of one thing as she was driving, the one thing that may have been the most important.
There wasn't any heartless.
And she drove into the world. It had large castles, and ancient structures, and from in the air she set the Gummi Ship on auto pilot staring out the window.
But that was until she noticed the ground getting closer and closer, just until it was close enough, and then-
Thud! She found herself sprawled on the ground in front of a huge ivory building.
And an angry yell met her sensitive ears, "She LEFT?"
