Me: Hello peoples of this world or any other world! It's a new chapter!

Sora: I feel bad for Stella.

Me: Me too.

Riku: But you're the one who wrote it!

Me: It was necessary. Say goodbye to life on the islands. Adventure time!

Sora: No it's disclaimer time! DayDreamer owns nothing. Only the plot.

Me: Now it's adventure time?

Sora: Yeah sure.

Me: Yay!

Chapter 6

(Disney Castle and Destruction)

Lana woke to the sound of snoring. Loud snoring. Why did she let Seth sleep over? The boy always snored. Always! Seth slept soundly in the sleeping bag while Lana had slept not so peacefully in her own bedroom. She should have kicked him out before he got tired and begged her to let him stay. And Seth should not live so far away. Every time it got too late to go home he just had to ask her "Can I stay over?" and she just had to say yes. Seth did this all the time. Her parents where getting annoyed with the boy too but didn't think anything specious happened between them. Like anything would. Seth and Lana were just friends. Nothing more nothing less.

"Uhg." Lana moaned loudly. Seth's snoring increased so Lana through her pillow at him. But the boy didn't wake up. So she did the next best thing to do to wake up a lazy bum ... yell.

"WAKE UP!!!"

Yep. That worked a little to well. Now Lana had a pillow thrown at her face.

-G u m m y S h i p -

Sora looked at the blinking colored light before sighing and saying,

"How much longer?"

A loud groan rose from almost everyone in the room. That was the fifteenth time Sora had asked that question in the last ten minutes.

"It's the same answer as last time Sora. It's going to take twenty three hours." Riku said sounding more than a little annoyed. Sora slumped down in his seat.

"Well I'm bored."

"Really…"

"Why don't you check out the new 'raining room Sora?" Goofy asked.

"Training room." Donald corrected.

"Right training room… Sora?" Goofy looked back but the boy was gone.

"As soon as you said 'training room' he sprinted out the door…" Kairi said looking behind her at the door.

"Maybe you should go check on him?" Riku suggested. Kairi nodded and left the room. This Gummy ship was pretty big with three floors and Kairi had been given a map so she would get lost. The first floor was the control room. That's where driving the ship and launching weapons took place. The second floor was the bedroom floor. There was six bedrooms and a bathroom to accompany each bedroom. And each bedroom seemed like its own personal sweet. With a queen sized bed and other amenities. Kairi had taken dibs on the pink room (not that anyone else wanted it) that was conveniently right next door to Sora's room and only a minute's walk away from Riku's room. She looked at the map again. She had to make a left to get to the elevator. The training room was on the lowest floor. And it seemed to cover that entire floor. Which was pretty big.

Kairi found Sora in the training room fighting hologram heartless. He was moving impossibly fast and seemed to be almost a blur. Kairi was amazed.

Could I do that too when I master my keyblade? Kairi couldn't help but wonder. Sora looked really concentrated so Kairi silently backed out the room leaving the boy alone. But it wasn't concentration on the battle Kairi saw. It was on something else…

Flashback-

Sora stepped off his small boat and on the kid island. He was trying to be silent and sneaky. Donald and Goofy where on the other side of the island probably just looking around. Which was good for Sora. He had forgotten to lock the door to the heart of the world until the last minute and couldn't let Kairi, Riku, Donald, or Goofy know. Or else he'd get a lot of "I told you to do it earlier!" from Kairi. It was hard enough to make a deal with Roxas so he wouldn't tell Kairi or Namine. Last thing he needed was more witnesses. He silently walked into the secret place. The place seemed to have shrink considered ably. He had to crouch to get through the tunnel part. When he got to the center of the cave he could stand up again. A strange feeling came over Sora looking back at all the drawings he and Kairi drew together. It was like looking back at the stuff you left in a time capsule. Nothing had changed here. The chalk they had used to draw the drawings on the wall had not become worn away. In fact they seemed almost more vibrant than before. Sora scanned the walls. Looking at each drawing. Then his eyes fell on one in particular. The one of him giving the paopu fruit to Kairi. But it now included Kairi giving part of the fruit back to him. Only two thoughts entered his mind.

"Kairi saw the Picture?!" was one of them. He already knew the answer was yes but still it shocked him. The other…

"Does this mean that Kairi likes..." Sora couldn't even finish the thought. It seemed so…impossible? No. That was the wrong word. It was certainly possible. But just unlikely. Or at least to Sora that is. But still he sorta hoped it was true. Sora stared at the picture for minutes before Roxas called him back to his senses and told him to lock the door. Sora nodded and got up. He pointed his keyblade at the wooden door in the middle of the room. Soon afterward a keyhole appeared. A light shot out the keyblade at the keyhole. A locking sound was heard and everything returned to normal. Sora glanced at the drawing before walking out.

Flash Back End-

He couldn't figure what it all meant. Did it mean what he thought it meant. Or was it something else. Or maybe it meant nothing. Or maybe it meant everything. Or maybe he was just confusing himself…

L a t e r-

Kairi sat at couch beside her bedroom window looking at the endless sea of stars drifting past the ship. Everyone else on the ship was probably asleep by this hour including Namine who was snoring yet again in her head, but Kairi was much too excited to go to sleep. She wasn't even tired yet. A low rumble echoed in the room and Kairi clutched her stomach. All of a sudden she felt really hungry. Her stomach growled again. She sighed and tore herself away from her window to get a snack in the kitchen. The kitchen was on the same level as the bedrooms so she didn't haveto walk that far. She got herself a bag of microwavepopcorn. As turned slowly in the microwave. Kairi tapped her foot impatiently. She heard a yawn and Namine appeared in the room.

"Kairi…you're still up?" Namine asked. Kairi nodded slowly. Namine closed her eyes and yawned.

"Did I wake you up?" Kairi asked.

"You should go to bed Kairi."

"I'm not…" Kairi started to say but before she could finish the sentence she yawned. Kairi unexpectedly felt really tired. She could barely stand anymore.

"You probably should get to bed." Namine suggested again. Kairinodded and went to her bedroom completely forgetting her popcorn. As soon as the girl left the microwave loudly beeped signifying the popcorn was popped. Namine sighed and tookthe food out the microwave. She ate a handful of popcorn before calling out to Kairi "Your popcorn's done." But she didn't get a response from the girl. Namine walked in the room to find Kairi already fast asleep in bed. Namine smiled took out her drawing pad and pastels and silently left the room to go find a desk to draw on. She silently munched on the transparent popcorn while walking through the silent hall way.

Kairi was back at the Awakening. But it wasn't like before. The platform in which she stood on was only black and white. With a silhouette of a someone she didn't know. The air seemed different to somehow. She looked around but there wasn't much to look at.

"Hello." Called a voice. Kairi spun around to see the same boy that Sora had saw in the Awakening.

"W-who are you?" Kairi asked.

"And you're the princess, huh? And a keyblade wielder? But you still don't know anything about us? That's sad." The boy said slowly shaking his head.

"Am I supposed to know anything about you?" she asked a little confused.

"No…I suppose you wouldn't."

"Well who-", but the boy interrupted.

"You'll see us again. Until then…Sweet Nightmares." The boy vanished. Awakening disappeared and Kairi had one of the worst nightmares of her life.

L a t e r-

Riku didn't like being woken up. That's why he didn't own an alarm clock. He liked waking up slowly at his own time in the morning. Not by an annoying buzzer in his ear. So when he was woken up by a talking duck saying there was only two hours before they reached Disney castle he was already annoyed. And it didn't help when he discovered that his iPod was left at the islands. All in all he was in a bad mood when he got up to eat breakfast. When he sat down at the table it seemed to be a normal scene. Sora was arguing with Donald over something, Kairi looked a little tired probably because she stayed up too late last night; Roxas was looking through another magazine. This time it seemed to about videogames. Namine sat in the corner drawing something. And Goofy was trying to stop the argument between Sora and Donald. It was normal as it could get with a keyblade master, a princess of heart, two talking animals, two transparent former nobodies, and himself.

So in other words it wasn't normal at all.

Sora paused from his argument just to make a comment on Riku's mood.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed…" Riku didn't respond to the comment. He didn't need to. Riku gave Sora a death glare and Sora shut up immediately. Simple as that.

Kairi yawned loudly trying to wake herself up. She turned to face Donald.

"How much longer till we reach the castle?" she asked.

"Two hours" Donald answered. Kairi sighed and stood up from the table.

"Where are you going?" Sora asked.

"I'm taking a shower. I need to wake myself up…" Kairi answered already out the door. Sora leaned back in his chair.

"I call landing the ship." Sora said. Donald had a problem with that unsurprisingly. Another Argument.

T w o H o u r s L a t e r –

Kairi looked out the window. She could see a small speck in the distance growing bigger and bigger until it could easily seen as a distant world. Kairi looked over at Sora who was flying the ship.

"Sora! I can see it!" she said excitedly. But Sora was too preoccupied flying the ship to actually hear her. Kairi returned her attention on the approaching world. It seemed to be getting closer and closer every second. Soon the world was as big as her fist. Then her head. Then it became big as the room she was in. And then the entire ship. The world continued to get closer and closer. Kairicould now clearly see a massive castle on the world. Kairi stared in amazement. Was that the King's castle? She wondered.

"I think so." Namine said walking over to Kairi. She sat down in the seat next to her.

"Namine? You finished your drawing?" Kairi asked. Namine smiled and showed her the sketch. The picture showed Kairi sitting on the sideways palm tree talking with Sora. Riku was leaning against the tree. Roxas and Namine sat together on the ground. They were solid. Partly because Namine didn't know how to draw transparent people and partly…for another reason. Even Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey were on the picture.

"Who's that?" Kairi asked pointing at a brown haired girl. Her back was faced them and her face was hidden. Namine squinted at the girl.

"I'm not sure…"Namine concluded.

"You don't know?" Kairi asked half amused half confused."You drew it!"

"I know but…I don't who she is."

"Weird."

"Yes." Namine agreed. The ship rocked a little as it touched down in the hanger.

"We're here."Donald and Goofy said at the same time. Of course Goofy added an 'a-huk' to it. Roxas and Namine disappeared not wanting to cause a scene when they got out of the ship.

When the group existed out the oversized ship they were greeted by two small chipmunks.

"Hey-a guys." said the one with a red nose.

"Welcome back!" said the one with a black nose.

"Hey long time no see." Sora said smiling.

"Um…Sora it's only been a month…" Chip said.

"Oh…right. It seems longer than that though…" Sora said a little embarrassed.

"The King is in the Library." Dale informed the group.

"Okay. Let's go to the library!" Sora said already walking towards the exit.

Well someone's excited…Namine observed. Kairi nodded her head.

"Kairi come on!" Sora yelled already up the stairs and at the door. Riku was already there as well. Kairi waved good bye to the two chipmunks and hurried out the room with the two boys. When everyone was gone the Chip and Dale's smile disappeared.

"You think they'll be ok?"Chip asked.

"It's Sora. He'll be fine." Dale answered though his voice didn't sound completely confident. The two turned away to work on the ship.

???

"We are not pleased."

A woman with silver eyes said looking upon a girl with black hair and blue highlights. They sat in unusually high chairs in a white room. It was the same girl that had seen Sora and Riku in the Realm of Darkness.

"Look. It wasn't my fault. I didn't know." The girl complained. She got slapped.

"Do NOT talk back to me." The woman yelled. The girls fell to the floor but were caught by her shadow that had lifted off the ground right before the girl had hit the hard ground and injure something.

"We are sorry." The shadow said holding the girl. "It will not happen again. If we see his group again we'll…"

"You will kill them." The woman said before the shadow could finish her statement.

"Understood." The shadow and the girl said at the same time. But their voices where so identical that the woman could not distinguish which voice belong to whom.

"You may go. But before you do…tell me. Why did you not report that you saw the keyblade master?"

"I…I'm not sure." The girl answered truthfully.

"Did you have any sort of bond or connection to him in your past life?"

"No." the girl said flatly.

"Does it worry you in the slightest that our little Nick has in fact not only found his mind already but also invaded his dreams and one of his companions?"

The girl looked up. A flicker in her eyes. "Was this companion a boy with silver hair?"

"No. It was a girl. Princess of Heart I believe. And she also was a wielder."

"Oh…" the girl said her voice revealing nothing. The woman looked at the girl. What was that flicker in her eyes?

"Go." The woman commanded. The shadow and the girl left the room. When they were out of hearing distance the girl let out a sigh in relief.

"She didn't kill us." the shadow said almost in a disbelieving voice.

"She must have some future use for us. Or else I'm sure that we'd be dead." The girl sighed.

"Never do that again. You know what to do…if you see them I mean…" The shadow warned before putting the girl down on the floor gently. Then the shadow itself became part of the floor itself. The girl silently walked down the empty hallway devoid of life.

"I understand."

D I s n e y C a s t l e

Kairi liked the garden. No. That was an understatement. Kairi loved the garden. It was large and unfamiliar flowers littered the ground. Huge hedges shaped like different animals where all over. She really did feel she was on a new world. She was on a new world. She was on a new world! SHE WAS ON A NEW WORLD!

"Kairi we…have to…go." Sora said breaking Kairi's trance. Kairi ran over to the group again.

"Sorry." She said when she had caught up. Donald and Goofy led them into the castle. They walked along a huge hallway. They walked past huge purple doors. Kairi wondered how anyone could hope to open them.

"How do you…" Riku started to ask. Looking at the huge purple doors also. Sora, Donald, and Goofy smiled but didn't give an answer. They continued walking to the end of the hall. There another normal sized door was. The group walked inside. The Library's walls where big book shelves each have books in an unknown order. A desk sat in the room. King Mickey sat at the desk looking through many books.

"Hey." Sorasaid walking in the room giving a little wave. He immediately got a whack from Donald's staff. Sora looked behind him to see everyone else in the room was either bowing (or curtsying in Kairi's case) or saluting. "Sorry." Sora apologized.

"Aw…It's okay. You guys don't have to act so formal." The King said looking at the group. "Kairi? What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to help…" Kairi explained.

"Kairi, it's going to be dangerous." Mickey said.

"But…I…I can call my keyblade now. And I want to help fight." Kairi said. King Mickey want to tell her no it's too dangerous but Kairi looked so determined he couldn't. Besides he didn't want to split up the three again.

"Alright Kairi you can go." He said. Kairi smiled. Then something caught Kairi's eye. She stared at a Jiminy Cricket who was dressed in his usual attire.

"Oh...Hey Jiminy!" Sora said when he figured out what Kairi was staring at.

"Hello Sora." Jiminy replied.

"I'm sorry your majesty, but what exactly did we forget?" Riku asked.

"So as you know you defeated organization XIII. But the thing you guys forgot was…" the small king paused for dramatic effect "…Maleficent."

There was dead silence in the room.

L a t e r -

Like stated earlier Riku was already in a bad mood. And now after hearing what exactly they forgot from the King he wasn't any happier to say the least. Riku sat in the garden thinking about while they had been relaxing at Destiny Islands Maleficent had all the time in the worlds to wreck havoc. And the "best" part was the fact that, that wasn't even all the news. The King said that they would discuss the rest in a disclosed location. Which obviously couldn't be good.

Today just wasn't Riku's day.

"Hey Riku!" said a voice. Riku looked behind him to see Kairi.

"Hey Kairi." Riku replied. Riku probably should of figured that maybe sitting in the garden was not the best place to hide from Kairi.

"There you are Riku!" said another voice. Yep, the garden was defiantly not a good hiding spot. Sora came into view.

"We've been looking forever for you!" Kairi said. Well maybe this hiding spot was ok after all.

"It was more like five minutes." Sora corrected. Or maybe not. Kairi went over to Riku.

"Come on we're already late." Kairi said smiling. Her smile became a frown and then she smiled again then a frown. "Shut up Nami." She whispered under her breath.

"What did she say?" Riku asked getting up. Kairi put on a fake smile. The one she used when trying to hide something.

"Oh nothing." She said. "Let's hurry up. The King's waiting for us." she said changing the subject. Riku didn't ask anything about what Namine said although he did feel out of the loop with Kairi fake smile and Sora trying but failing at holding down a laugh.

Today really wasn't Riku's day.

Sora being the only one who had been in this castle before led the group to the throne room. They stopped at the two huge purple doors from earlier.

"How are you going to open that?" Kairi asked looking all the way up at the top of them. Sora didn't answer he just smiled and knocked on one of them. Suddenly a small opening the size of a regular door swung open. Kairi and Riku looked at the small opening mouths open. Riku regained his composure quickly but Kairi took a few seconds.

"Is that cheating?"Namine asked. Sora smiled and walked through the door way.

"Yep."Roxas answered. The throne room was a long hall and at the very end was the throne itself. The King, Donald, and Goofy where waiting there.

"Sorry we're late." Kairi said. "We had to find Riku."

"It's alright." The King said.

"So… what exactly going on?" Riku said in a serious tone. "And why couldn't we find out in the library?"

"Sora, Riku, Kairi. While you were at the Destiny Islands the castle was attacked…"

"What! By who?" Sora asked.

"Yes, by the heartless. Jiminy maybe you should explain…" Jiminy Cricket came into view.

"Well it all started when I was looking through my journal and I noticed something. It said "We must return to free them from their torment"..."

"What does that mean?" Sora asked with a confused expression.

"Well the thing is I don't remember writing that." Jiminy said a little confused himself. "One day it just appeared in the journal... like 'thank Namine'..."

Sora suddenly remembered that Namine was supposed to explain what happened in castle oblivion. He made a mental not to ask about it later and not forget about it again.

"...but this was different somehow... we had a digital Sora go in the journal to figure out what's going on."

"Well what happened?" Kairi asked.

"Well there was all this corrupt data and he had to go around the journal debugging everything. He ran into this man in a cloak. After that…"

Sora and the group listened intently to the explanation. Apparently the figure turned out to be the journal itself in a human form. And that it had brought them into the journal itself. There they were attacked by heartless and met digital Sora...

A n o t h e r W o r l d

Lana sat on the bus again. Seth was home today due to some strange illness that was going around. Actually a lot of kids didn't go to school that day. But Lana wasn't that worried. Her bubble was notorious for having nothing exciting happen in it. The yellow bus came to stop. Lana picked up her supplies and book bag and left the bus.

She looked up at the greenish blue sky. Or maybe it was a bluish green? She couldn't tell. Lana's world was the unfortunate outcome of pollution. They where a fairly advanced world. But their advances was their downfall. They polluted their world and now the air was poisonous to breath. The entire civilization was forced to live in some sort of glass material bubble. Outside no trees existed, no animals could survive, and nothing lived. If someone was to leave the protection of the bubbles they would die within minutes. Lana and Seth had lived their entire lives in the bubble called Eternal Hope.

"I wonder who named it that." Lana mused aloud. "I bet they watched one too many cheesy movies. Eternal Hope... huh...They should have named it 'Eternal Boredom'." She laughed to herself. She looked over to her side. Without Seth life was so much more boring.

Lana walked into her house. As soon as she did she heard a loud

"OUCH!"

And she heard herself sigh.

D I s n e y C a s t l e

"And that's what happened." Jiminy finished. Sora nodded.

"And there's more..." the small King said.

"Really?" Sora asked. Already he could tell there was a lot going on. Why couldn't he get a break?

Because you're the keyblade wielder... Roxas said answering his thoughts.

That's not a good reason.Sora said err...thought.

It's the only reason.Roxas said. And Sora fell silent. Unfortunately he was right. That was in fact the only reason that he wasn't sitting at home doing homework but instead fitting for the survival of worlds. Just that at the moment he didn't know which seemed more appealing.

"What else is there your majesty?" Kairi asked polite as ever.

"Welp, there's this new group. Not much is known about them."

"What are they called?" Sora asked.

"I can't say. You should probably ask Yen Sid. I'm sure he knows more about them than I do." He paused with a look of deep thought. "They don't seem like a big threat but still… there's something strange about them. I don't know what."

"When are we leaving?" Riku asked.

"Tomarrow."

Sora looked around his room. The king had lent them guest rooms to sleep in. One word came to mind.

Red.

There was red carpet. Red curtains. Red abstract art on the walls. Red bed covers. Red sheets. Red vase with red flowers. Red. Red. Red. Red! Even the door was red!

Red overload.Roxas said.

A n o t h e r W o r l d

Lana sat in her room her Mom had gone to the store. She should be back any second now. The music was blaring and her curtains where closed. She was bored.

Really bored.

Seth was supposed to come over by now. He might be sick but Seth never. NEVER. Missed the chance to see "Space Visitors from Planets Unknown". It was literally their favorite show ever. His TV at his house didn't get the channel it was on so Seth always came over to watch it with her. But he hadn't shown up yet.

"Where is he?" Lana asked no one. She looked at the clock once more and began to impatiently tap her foot. She was getting worried. Not seeing Seth at school. Not very upset. Not having Seth come over to see the newest installment in Space Invaders? Call in the army, the courts guard, and the EHPF (Eternal Hope Police Force) the worlds ending!

D I s n e y C a s t l e

Riku looked at his room. One word came to mind.

Blue.

Everything was blue just as much everything in Sora's room was red. Blue furniture, blue bed, blue curtains. It was all blue.

"Someone must really like the color blue."

A n o t h e r W o r l d

"All's well that ends well!"

Yells the over acting actor as the credits begin to roll down the screen. Lana silently clicked the TV off.

Seth had yet to come. And the show was over. The room was silent for a few seconds before she heard a loud scream in the distance.

She looked out her window to see a girl not much older than herself. She had brown hair. Lana thought she reminded her as someone from school. But she didn't have time to dwell on the subject. The girl was running away from who or what she didn't know.

"G-get a-a-away from me!" she yelled out.

Lana traced the girls gaze to a … bug? No. It was way too big to be a bug. And it stood on two legs. It was completely black and had two yellow eyes.

If it wasn't a bug then what was it?

The girl tried to run again. Lana couldn't figure out what was going on.

D i s n e y C a s t l e

Kairi looked at her room.

One word came to mind.

PINK.

"I love it!" Kairi said while flopping onto the bed.

A n o t h e r W o r l d

Lana sat in the cramped closet. She silently cried to herself. Outside the once sunny day continued to grow darker and darker. She had been stuck in here for hours. The tears came to a stop. Apparently she had run out of tears to cry.

Now she could start thinking logically.

What did she KNOW?

Number one: That girl she saw earlier disappeared shortly after that thing attacked her. And another one of those things appeared.

Number two: Seth, her Mom, nor her Dad had come home. And all of them should have been here by now.

Number three: A lot more of those things started appearing out of the shadows.

Number four: She had no idea what to do.

Then the lights went completely out. She couldn't see her hand in front of her face anymore. There was screams and shrieks all around her. She felt herself sinking into the ... floor?

-

-

-

Number five: She couldn't scream and she couldn't feel body anymore. And darkness surrounded her...

D I s n e y C a s t l e

Kairi strolled through the garden. The sun had set and the twinkling stars shown above the castle. "Hey Kairi." said a familiar voice. Kairi smiled at Sora. Sora returned the smile.

"Hey Sora." Kairi said.

"Kairi what are you doing?"

"Just taking a walk in the garden." Kairi answered.

"Oh." Sora said. It was sorta obvious.

"So Sora do you like you're room?" Kairi asked changing the subject. Sora couldn't help but flinch a little.

"It's...red." Sora said.

That's an understatement Roxas said. Kairi giggled. Where's Namine? Roxas asked. Her presence wasn't with Kairi.

"She's asleep in the room." Kairi answered pointing her finger in the general direction of her bedroom.

"You should probably go to bed too. You were really tired this morning." Sora said.

"Look at the..." Kairi started to say.

"Don't try to change the subj…"

"NO! Sora look at that star!" Kairi said franticly. She pointed at a blinking star. It began to get dimmer and dimmer.

-

-

-

Then it disappeared.

A/N:
