King Mickey sat in his throne in his palace, a little worriedly. Sure, so far everything had turned out great, Sora and Riku had won, they found Kairi, everything should have been wonderful. But unfortunately it wasn't. That was the problem, none of them had been seen for some time. In fact, the only people that King Mickey hadn't lost contact with were Donald and Goofy, who had come back to the palace to be at home for a little while. Mickey should have been glad, but he wasn't. Just then, Queen Minnie walked into the throne room and up to Mickey.
"Mickey, what's wrong?" she asked, noticing the sadness in his eyes.
"It's nothing Minnie, don't worry about me." Mickey said with a tone of false cheer.
"I know something's the matter, and you're going to tell me what it is." Minnie said, putting her hands on her hips.
"I know I should be happy. Sora and Riku won, all should be good, but I'm worried about them. Where did they disappear to? And for some strange reason I'm worried that the heartless will be back!" he said.
"Where did they say they were going?" Minnie asked.
"They were going back to Destiny Islands." He said.
"Well did you check there?" Minnie asked.
"I sent a letter, and I know they got it, I just can't seem to find them!" King Mickey said.
"Well, do you know where Donald and Goofy are?" Minnie asked worriedly.
"I sent them to each world to look for Sora, Riku, and Kairi. I wanted to see if they went to the wrong world and were trapped. I specifically told them to come back here." He said. "They should be back any minute, and I'm anxious to hear what they found." King Mickey told Minnie not to worry, and sent her to talk with Daisy so he could clear his mind. Suddenly, Goofy and Donald thrust open the door to the throne room, hurried in, and the slammed it, pushing their backs against it to prevent it from opening.
"Your highness!" cried Goofy. "We couldn't find them in any of the worlds!"
"And there are things outside!" Donald squealed.
"What kind of things?" asked King Mickey, worried.
"Heartless!"
