Author's Note: Here we go, another Kingdom Hearts story, but it wouldn't be a minor obession without it! Anyway, this story takes place on Earth where Sora finds himself after a strange accident with the Gummi Ship. It takes a little while to get going, but once it does, it'll take you for some twists and turns! I hope you like it! Oh and by all means please review! Thanks!

Part I - Confusing Places

Sora feels consciousness slowly return, and his eyes open. The sky above him is blue, patched with pure white clouds. He wiggles his fingers and finds loose sand squirming from his grasp. Sitting up, he sees that he is on a beach, alone. Is he home? It doesn't look like home, the water is dark and the sand doesn't seem right, but the sunlight is warm and the air humid.

"Where am I?" He looks around some more before standing. He dusts the sand off his clothes, and turns around. Instead of the houses that he knew and loved on the Destiny Islands, behind him were these huge buildings. They aren't as tall as the castle in Hollow Bastion, but these aren't castles. He isn't sure what they were. "Wow…look at this place." This place, wherever it is, is like nothing he's ever seen before. Taking his first steps from the beach, he comes up on something else new to him. The sand stops and there's something like stone, but it's all one thing. There are no smaller stones making a pathway or anything, just a slab. But, it's what's on that slab that's really strange. They look like these Heartless he saw back in the Timeless River, but these things aren't attacking or even moving for that matter, and there aren't just one or two, but dozens. There different shapes, colors, and sizes, but for the most part they all have four wheels, but that's about all he could see that was the same. "What are these?" The cold, smooth metal drags under his fingertips. He knocks his knuckles against the front and only empty sounds result. "Huh…whoa…" Sora looks up from the unmoving thing to a place with dozens of these things, but they're moving, and really fast. Following them with his head leads him to more of the buildings off to the side.

A sound rips open above him, and his head rockets up to see a large object gliding through the air. It's not colorful like the Gummi Ship, but there are words printed over the top.

"FED…EX? What is that thing?" His gaze travels down to a big sign on top of one of the buildings, "Call…Joe? Who's Joe? You know, I bet I'll find some people over that way." Sora starts off to the buildings in hopes of finding someone who can tell him what's going on or where he is.

Within half a minute, he comes through a set of small trees in front of this path that the wheeled things are using. He slows his travel to maneuver around the path, and gets a small break to rush across it. Most of his trip up the hill is spent with his head looking up at the buildings that keep getting taller.

Another five minutes and no one passes him. There've been plenty of those wheeled things, which Sora found out have people inside them, but beyond that not much else. The hill he had been climbing flattens, and the buildings have become even more clustered. He takes a few more streets and still no people, but something else has surprised him too. There haven't been any Heartless, none. Not even a measly Shadow, which is weird. With a flash of light he summoned the Keyblade just to make sure he still could. Usually when they went to a world, the Heartless weren't far behind, but this was definitely not a normal world. This was the first time that Donald and Goofy didn't come out of the warp hole with him. They must have been thrown from the ship. This was the first time he actually thought of the fact that Donald and Goofy weren't there anymore. Who knows what world they ended up on?

He's now between two of the largest buildings he saw, and he takes a moment to take it all in.

"1…2…3…10 wow look at that…" Sora points at each layer of windows as he counts. "That one has fourteen, that's kind of cool. Still no people though," he sighs. Continuing up the street and another, smaller hill, he suddenly finds all kinds of people. They're everywhere, zigzagging through rows of buildings and wheeled machines. "Hi , can I…okay…" He watches a number of people walk passed without so much as a glance. He sighs and clicks his tongue. "I guess I should keep going." He returns to walking, but the only way forward is to move in front of all those machines. He steps out into the path. A loud noise blasts his ears and a swift tug drags him back. He lands on his butt against the stones of the path the people were walking on.

"What were you thinking? Use a crosswalk." Sora looks up into the eyes of the person who, presumably, pulled him backward.

"What's a crosswalk? And why did you do that?" The person, a man with an eyebrow raised, pulls Sora from the ground, back to a standing position.

"You don't know what a crosswalk is?" Sora shakes his head, "Huh…well a crosswalk is one of those white things. Cars usually stop for people when they're in one of them."

"What's a car?"

"Where have you been for the past hundred years? Those are cars, how did you get here without one? We're on a peninsula. Did you take a boat?"

"Uh…well where are we?"

"The Arts District, this is Congress Street, have you never been here before?" He pauses, "Actually never mind, if you haven't heard of a car or a crosswalk, you're definitely not from here. So where are you from?" Sora wondered if he should actually tell this person the truth. He wasn't supposed to tell anyone that he was from what had to be a different world, but there was something different about this place. Maybe it would be alright.

"I'm not from around here." Sora places long pauses between the words.

"Obviously, but where are you from? Most English speaking countries, and the other countries for that matter, know what cars are."

"Ummm…I'm from a different world. Destiny Islands to be exact."

"Okay…um…well…then, I…uh…did you hit your head between there and here?"

"I don't think so, why?"

"Other worlds and crosswalks and cars. Nothing you've said so far makes any sense."

"Okay, from my point of view nothing you've said made sense. Where I come from we don't have buildings like that," Sora points to the building behind them, "Or cars or crosswalks to protect us from cars."

"Point taken, so let's say you are from this Destiny Islands, how did you manage to end up in Portland, Maine on Earth?" More and more people pass by them with every moment.

"I don't know. Donald, Goofy and I were going into a warp hole following a Heartless…"

"I'm going to stop you, Donald? Goofy? Like Duck and Goof? And, I forgot to ask, what's your name?"

"Yeah…exactly, you know them? And I'm Sora." He reaches out his hand.

"Logan. And everyone knows them. They're famous here." Logan shakes Sora's hand, "You know maybe we need to talk inside. Come on, we can talk in One City Center."

"Where's that?" Sora puts his hands behind his head.

"The red building over that way. Come on, and we'll use crosswalks this time." Logan laughs, but Sora scowls.
