Aneko: And thus the beginning of a series of drabble-y oneshots dedicated to the small moments of Kingdom Hearts that might happen.

99 Problems (But a Puppy Ain't One)
The gummi ship took off from Halloween Town just like it normally did, engines blazing with fire and blasts of hot air swirling dust and dead leaves everywhere. It was a completely normal though somewhat slower, take off from afar.
Inside was a completely different story, though.
"Hey! Come back, don't go over there!" Sora barely avoided colliding with one of the inner walls of the ship as he chased after a Dalmatian puppy. It was hard to tell which one he was after, though. The inside of the ship was a tapestry of wriggly white and black spotted pups. As soon as Sora set his eyes on one to catch it, he would lose track of it and end up following another. It was pretty confusing.
"Sora! I told you not to let the puppies out of the pen!" Donald crabbed, his tapping foot the only sign of his irritation.
"Come on, Donald. We can't just keep them in there the whole time. It'll take ages to get back to Twilight Town." Sora glanced at the now-empty, open topped pen that they had rigged from some broken gummi parts to keep the puppies contained. "That cage is too small for all of them."
"Well if you hadn't taken so many at once, it wouldn't be that small!" The tapping of Donald's foot got faster. "I told you we could just come back for some of them later!"
"Aw, now don't be like that, Donald," Goofy drawled. He was having better luck with the puppies than Sora. He had caught one, and it licked his nose as he held it up to his face, while another one climbed all over his giant shoes. "Besides, we didn't take that many with us."
"There are so many that you were having trouble counting them, and that means there are too many!" Donald declared. "The ship can't even flying as fast as it's supposed to!"
Sora dove after another puppy, and the cockpit shuddered as he crashed to the ground. The puppy cocked its head at him as he rubbed his quickly-bruising chin, before jumping on top of his head, and then hopping up into Donald's chair. Donald's grumbling cut off with a loud squawk as a small pink tongue licked his bill.
If Sora and Goofy noticed that the duck stopped grumbling after that, they kept it to themselves.
Aneko: Please don't shoot me for my very bad pun. I like puns.
I just had to do it. I can't believe I'm the only one who collected at least 21 puppies before ever going back to see Pongo and Perdita.
