Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts and all of the characters from Disney, Toutchstone and Square belong to their respective companies except from Kay and her friends that are mine.

AN: This story happens in the same period of time the game does. That´s why some things may sound like just re-telling the story but they are just for your acknowledge of in which time in the game the story is going on. Yes, some things will be different from the facts the actual story tells (specially dialogues). Much is from my imagination. After the introduction, this first chapter starts straight from the Disney Castle news, not from Sora´s dream. Also I want to say English is not my first language, though I´m using Word to check out my spelling, there are some things it won´t be able to correct. If you find some "horrible" spelling/grammar mistakes, kindly tell me which ones to fix them. In advanced, thanks ^_^.

Rating: I gave it PG. If I decide to change it I´ll inform you at the beginning of each chapter.

WARNING: Though I´m not giving away any spoilers yet, please be alert that it would be ideal if you already knew the basic things about Kingdom Hearts to be aware when to stop reading if you haven´t finished the game yet. Though it won´t be until some more chapters on you´ll find any spoilers.

Don´t know what Kingdom Hearts is at all? Make a quick search on the net, then come back to understand better what this is all about ^_~ .

That´s all, let´s go to the story! ^_^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the darkness we listen to voices. But not villain voices. They use to gather in this kind of settings but this time they are not the ones in this darkness. The voices are young. Two feminine voices and one masculine voice talk about their futures.

"Who knows what´s behind of us?! Nobody!….and nobody cares for that matter."

"That´s not true, we have a purpose whether people knows about it or not! We have privileges few are able to have. This is a job and that´s the way to pay for everything we have received. Also there´s nothing wrong with it."

"Don´t argue. We are just nervous because he left yesterday. We should just pray for this world to be ok. But if we are going to talk about this I must say that he, who is now out there, didn´t seem to be bothered, he was always enthusiast about that moment to come. Perhaps something really positive can come out of this duty we have to accomplish"

*sigh*

"When will my turn come?"

The value of our worth

~~~~The News~~~~

Blue sky shone as clear as any other day over the Disney Castle. There´s no doubt this is one of the most beautiful and happiest places that any traveler could have seen or visited.

A short white figure with blue garments and a funny hat walked across the corridors of the castle and entered to the throne hall. He gets surprised when finding it empty with nothing more than the King´s pet, Pluto, and a letter in his mouth. Suddenly….a scream in pure Donald style.

"Waaaaaa!!!"

Sorcerer Donald ran madly through the gardens until finding a very peacefully-sleeping Captain Goofy. Donald tried to wake him up but Goofy seems not interested in leaving his dreams so….Donald had to make use of some more drastic ways….

He pointed to the sky and [wazaaap!!] a light thunder hit Goofy out of his slumber.

"ew..wha…oh! Donald, what´s up?" said Goofy, still a bit part shocked, part still slept.

"We have an emergency! But this is Top Secret and we must not tell ANYONE about it!!"

"Err, not even Minnie?"

"No, not even Queen Minnie"

"Daisy?"

Starting to lose it "No! Not ANYONE!" replied Donald in his traditional bad temper.

"Ye, he, hey, hi girls!" Goofy waved hello.

Donald turned around just to see two familiar figures standing behind him; Queen Minnie and Lady Daisy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not long after, Donald and Goofy were given a brief review about the actual situation in this and other kingdom´s worlds, which occurred after the arrival of strange happenings. Now Queen Minnie was sending Donald and Goofy to search for King Mickey, a very special key and the key bearer who will be the only one who will be able to save all the kingdom from the darkness.

"Well Daisy, it´s time to take them to the Gummi Ship for the journey to be begun as soon as possible." said Minnie.

At the Royal hangar, Chip and Dale were giving the final touches to a new model of ship, they called it the Gummi Ship. The Gummi Ship happened to have the ability to travel to worlds usually not able to visit since they were all divided and that made it very special. It was told that actually, the ship could adapt to some specific situations when in trouble.

"Your majesty, Lady Daisy, sorcerer Donald, captain Goofy! I see you´ve visited us before expected" greeted a surprised but smiling Chip to the group. Donald and Goofy then suspected perhaps they weren´t the first ones to get the "Top Secret" news. Queen Minnie had what seemed everything planned already… or was this "everything" for a "just in case"?

"And yes! the ship is ready your majesty, all thanks to me" said a very proud Dale.

"That´s not true! You´ve been lazy all the time, it was me who fixed that problem with those blocks! Don´t you remember?"

"But I fixed the flying-stabilizer …and that´s not true! …I mean…the thing about me being lazy!"

"Err..I understand that both of you have put all your effort into this ship, specially with the unprepared urge that just presented to us this morning. Be sure that the King as well as I, thank you with all of our hearts for your job and help to the kingdom and that this will be known by everyone for it." said Minnie smiling to stop the bickering between both chipmunks.

"We are sorry." they said when realizing this was not the moment for discussing who would take more credit on building the ship.

"Don´t worry. Ok, so the ship is ready. I believe those courses about driving different mediums of transports may help you right now to drive this ship with no problem."

Donald and Goofy stared at each other unsure of if they remembered anything at all from that, but after some seconds they just resolved with a "Sure! No problem." Then both got into the ship with hopes that the main board would have labeled buttons with corresponding definitions. No need to say that was not what they found.

"Guys, please take care." remarked Daisy, laying her eyes specially on Donald who already inside the ship answered with a fast wink. Then, the ship was finally released.

[thump!] [wriiiiiihhhhh] [whooooosh!] [thump]

Not without some problems at first with the ship going backwards and avoiding hitting two columns, but Donald and Goofy "did" got out of the hangar.

As Minnie and Daisy saw them leave couldn´t hold both a sigh.

"You are worried, aren´t you Daisy?"

"Yes…oh! I´m sorry Minnie, you should be very worried too. Sometimes I just think of my own problems."

"Oh, don´t worry. It is just enough to have ones worries to add more to it. Let´s pray for them to find the King, that key and the one that can use it. Anyways this situation is extremely delicate. It´s time to open that box."

"What box?" asked Daisy. There were few, if not none facts concerning the castle and kingdom until today that she wasn´t aware of. She had been Minnie´s best friend since always. Therefore, a secret should involve something about extremely important things.

"I´ll tell you everything in the library. This idea never liked any of us, not to Mickey and not me, but we should be prepared. We knew that if things got worst and become dangerous for the worlds and the kingdom then there would be no other way than to use this."

Arriving at the library, Minnie got a little box out of one of the tables. It was a simple but quite beautifully done one. The silhouette of a key, a sword, a shield, and staff were drawn in the middle of a heart. In the inside, between a white fabric, there was a small crystal dove.

"What´s that for?" Daisy wandered.

"It´s for sending a message for help."

"To whom?"

"We don´t know, just this dove knows where and it can´t be followed. It´s kept a secret even to us. We just know when there are very delicate problems and there is nothing for sure we can ask for an extra help that may not guarantee anything but that can actually increase the possibilities of the chosen one to come out victorious. The truth is the Heartless have been seen in many of our worlds by know and there have been notices the have started to steal the hearts of many. The rumors tell the Princesses of Hearts are also in danger. This can´t go on anymore."

To be continued…
