The ship lands just as Sora explained it would. Right at noon near the Islands. The moment I see it all the stories Sora has told me about it come flooding back. Of course for now the ship is empty other than us, but still. It's like seeing something from your favorite fairy tale or story come to life and rest right in front of you. Excitement filled me and I could hardly contain myself. Joy, nervousness…. All of it hit me at once and I wasn't sure how to handle it other than smile and shift my weight back and forth from foot to foot.

"Ready?" Sora asks looking over at me wearing a smile of his own. I bet he thinks it's funny how excited I am about all this. I wouldn't doubt him picking on me about it later on. Riku and Kairi run onto the ship. One after the other like it's no big deal. Watching them board it gives my doubts new measures to torment me with. I don't know what I am doing. Am I going to be dead weight? A worthless add on they have to take care of? I look at Sora and nod.

"As I'll ever be. But you are so taking me to that one world with the people." I joke trying to be light hearted but it's not as funny as it was in my head. Not even close and I'm pretty sure a look of horror crosses my features. Sora laughs and then we board the ship. Watching our Islands fade away and headed out into the stars.

We arrive at a tower and then everyone rushes off. I pause and take a moment to look around. It's a small place with a huge tower in the middle. It's even smaller than our Islands, which I didn't think, was possible. The grass is duller than back home and the only light coming from around the under side of the place which is an odd orange glow highlighting everything around. Two figures are waiting on the steps. Looking strange and not like me or Sora and the others.

"Donald, Goofy!" Sora calls. The two shout Sora's name and then the gang start goofing off like friends normally do. Prancing about and poking at the others playfully while cracking jokes about the others, but Riku and Kairi walk right past them and into the tower. Since I don't know where I am going or what I am supposed to be doing I walk over to Sora and hide behind him. I mean what else am I supposed to do?

"Who's that?" The one I am assuming is Donald asks tiliting his head to the side to get a better look at me. Sora turns and smiles at me. Moving away from being my meat shield and I squeak while he wraps his arms around my shoulders.

"This is y/n Sora explains keeping it simple and to the point, he is about to say more but is quickly cut off.

"Sora! Mickey and Yen Sid are waiting." Riku calls from the doorway to the tower. Sora laughs, shaking his head and sighing lightly before dropping his arm from around my shoulder and starts headed to the door.

"Yeah okay."

Third POV...

"The bait needs to be someone the boy cares about. And we have used the princess too many times, plus it would be more work since she is no longer defenseless." A Voice explains. There are a group of unknowns in a dark room circled around a green colored hologram.

"So lets use the girl he brought along then. Surely he wouldn't let her get hurt." Another voice reasons. Someone smacks the table and the hologram freezes. In the picture the hero has his arm wrapped around a girl slightly smaller than him and smiling embarrassed.

"But only time will tell. And good things come to those who wait."
