"Merrick! It's almost time for your first day of school!" calls the crowned princess of The Radiant Garden, Hi. Today is Monday and the day Princess Hi's son, Prince Merrick, starts school. He's going to the Royal Prep Academy.
"There's no need to call mom," says a small voice from behind her. Princess Hi turns to see her little boy all ready to go with the same magic backpack she had before him. Prince Merrick has short red hair like Queen Kairi has, but looks like his dad.
"Well, all that's left is to wait for dad," exclaims Princess Hi.
"And I'm right here," says Prince Igneous as he enters the front hall. "Let get going. We have to get to our off world jobs." So they board the magic gummiship that was a new invention. Disney World didn't have enough potential drivers to produce a way for all people to go from world to world, so now the gummiships are enchanted to drive themselves. Donald and Goofy had taken up positions as teachers to their old posts.

"Now remember, you're not coming straight home after school," says Princess Hi as the gummiship lands. "You're going to go buy school supplies with Flame (Lea's son) and then go to Universe of Heroes and Villains where the gummiship is picking me up to go to the next world I have work on. That is on The World of Balance (AN: OZ's world)."
"OK mom," replies Prince Merrick as he steps out of the gummiship. Prince Merrick watches when the gummiship flies away and out of sight. He is greeted at the gate by The Three Good Fairies.
"Oh, it's so good to see you again Prince Merrick," greets Fauna.
"We've been expecting you," greets Flora.
"Please come this way," says Merryweather. Prince Merrick follows The Three Good Fairies to his first class. Along the way the three fairies loads his arms up with books, a wand and scrolls they said he'll need for the day. Once in the room Flora flies to the podium and Prince Merrick stands beside her.
"Attention students!" Flora calls over the talking students, they quiet down at the sight of Prince Merrick. "We have a new student today. For those of you that didn't sign up for the Multi-World class this young prince is from a different world then this one. This is Prince Merrick. How do we greet him?" All the students stands one at a time. The boys bows and the girls curtsy. They all say 'good morning' to Prince Merrick.
"Now, Prince Merrick, please tell the class about yourself and the world you're from," Flora says to Prince Merrick.
"My name's Prince Merrick and I am from a world called The Radiant Garden," introduces Prince Merrick. "Like the name suggests it is filled with the most beautiful plants you've ever seen. My parents and grandparents are part of a kind of warriors that wield a type of weapon called Keyblades. And someday I will wield one too."
"I think that's enough," exclaims Fauna. "That will be in the next lesson of the Multi-World class. Please be seated." Prince Merrick sits next to a girl with brown wavy hair and wearing a purple dress and a necklace with a shiny purple jewel in it. And on Prince Merrick's other side is a girl with blond wavy hair and wearing a gold colored dress.
At the end of the school day
Prince Merrick walks out with the other students after trading the stuff they lent him for the day for a list of school supplies. Outside is Flame waiting.
"Good afternoon Merrick," greets Flame.
"Hello Flame," smiles Merrick.
"Merrick, you're not supposed to respond to him when he didn't add your title to your name," gasps the blond girl Merrick sat next to in his first class, Amber.
"It's OK Amber," assures Merrick. "On my world we don't use titles. It's been that way since my grandpa became king." Merrick and Flame leaves after Merrick said that.
An hour and fifteen minutes later
Prince Merrick and Flame just walks out the door of a shop when the other girl that sat next to Prince Merrick approaches.
"Hello Sofia," greets Prince Merrick.
"Hi Merrick," returns Sofia. "I just came from Multi-World class. And wanted to talk to you."
"I'd love to talk," replies Prince Merrick. "But we'll have to talk while walking to where my body guard, Flame here, and I will board the gummiship that will take us to another world."
"Wow, that's so amazing," comments Sofia. Along the way they run into Lord Leopan.
"Hello Merrick, I hear you've been through your first day of school," says Lord Leopan. "How was it?"
"It was fine," responds Prince Merrick. "I got to learn new things. This is my new friend, Princess Sofia. She's a local worlder."
"Nice to meet you Princess Sofia," says Lord Leopan with a bow. "My name's Leopan. I'm a lordof Merrick's homeworld."
"Nice to meet you too," replies Sofia.
"Did you find a future keyblader here yet?" asks Prince Merrick.
"In-fact I did decide on one and now I'm going to get the adoption started," answers Lord Leopan.
"Lord Leopan travels around the universe and adopts one orphan that will one day become the keyblader of their birthworld," explains Prince Merrick to a confused Sofia. "Just like his father. His hobby is to collect stuff from those worlds too."
"It all sounds so wonderful," comments Sofia. "What does he collect?"
"All sorts of things," responds Prince Merrick. "He plants a flower that's from the worlds in the town square in the kingdom my parents rules over. He donates a jewel from the worlds in my mother's museum of world's gems. Collects information from the worlds in books and donates them in the kingdom's libraries. All sorts of things."
"Well feel free to look around this world," Sofia says to Lord Leopan. They reach the gummiship platform.
"Well this is where we have to part," exclaims Prince Hi. "I really loved talking with you."
"Me too," responds Sofia. "See you tomorrow." Prince Merrick and Flame boards the gummiship and takes off, Sofia goes home and Lord Leopan continues on his way.
Near The Universe of Heroes and Villains
Prince Merrick could see them approaching the world so he calls Princess Hi via Communicator Star Shard.
"Oh Merrick, thank Kingdom Hearts you called," says Princess Hi once she answers. "I was getting worried."
"I'm fine mom," replies Prince Merrick. "I called to say that I can see The Universe of Heroes and Villains now. We'll be there soon."
"Alright," sighs Princess Hi. "I'm almost done here. But it will take a while longer. You can say hello to The Team while you're waiting."
"OK, see you when you're done," smiles Prince Merrick. "Love you."
"I love you too," responds Princess Hi as the two hang up.
The Universe of Heroes and Villains: Justice League HQ
The gummiship containing Prince Merrick and Flame docks in the hanger of the space station that serves as the headquarters of The Justice League. When the doors closed Nightwing and Aqualad comes into the hanger.
"Merrick, is that really you?" smiles Nightwing.
"It's good to see you Young Prince Merrick," exclaims Aqualad. "The only other time we've seen you was when your parents presented you to us."
"Come on in and say hi to the others," offers Nightwing. So Prince Merrick follows the two heroes into The Justice League Headquarters and stayed for fifteen minutes until Princess Hi arrives. Princess Hi, Prince Merrick and Flame heads off to The World of Balance.

The three off-worlders are now in the top of Glinda's tower. The spirit of the good witch hovering over the keystone. Her assistant, Wizard, is there as well.
"Ah, Princess Hi, you made it in time," greets Glinda. "I see that your son had his first day of school recently. How was it?"
"It was good," answers Prince Merrick. "I got to learn new things and made a new friend."
"That's good," comments Glinda. "I've set up a desk for you to do your homework at. I will be at my desk in case you need my help. PINHEAD, you better get to the meeting along with Princess Hi."
A couple of hours later and the off-worlders leaves for their homeworld.
