Warning: This chapter is even more stereotypical than the last… Beware.
Chapter 7: Sugar High
"Sir, we have reports that Superman and Batman have entered the premises of Sugar High," stated a Jawbreaker as he saluted Billy.
"Well, there's no time like the present to dominate that accursed place. Prepare my gummi-mobile and let's roll!" Billy leaped up nimbly.
"Boss, do I get to come too?" asked Radioactive Furby.
"Yes, I need you to distract Superman…for some reason or another he seems to believe that you're caked in kryptonite… Oh well, whatever works I'm not one to complain." Billy's mood had lightened considerably since the news of Sora and Riku's location reached him. He could kill two birds with one stone. Then again, maybe he could make that three birds…the third one actually being a sort-of bird… The radioactive Furby had been recently getting on his nerves…
Furby, Billy, and the Jawbreaker went to the entrance to the peppermint cave and hopped in a car that was very similar to Fred Flinstone's; only instead of stone this transportation device was made out of pure candy. Their feet started moving, but Furby was too short so he just had to hang there.
As they took off he yelled, "Yabadaba-!"
Billy cut him off sharply, "Shut it! There's no need for the theatrics."
"Darn…I always wanted to say that…" muttered Furby sulkily as they took off in the direction of Sugar High located on the coast of the Ice Cream Sea.

The first thing that Sora and Riku noticed when they entered Sugar High was how dirty it was. Instead of being at least somewhat clean there were all kinds of trash thrown about and various sorts of globs hanging from the ceilings and walls. On the lockers phrases were spray painted on. They stared in wonder at all of the candies milling about.
There were Nerds…all of them similar to those they had met in the dumpster. These Nerds also had "Kick me" signs stuck to their backs and these instructions were being carried out by several students. Also, at that moment a small group of them were being dumped upside down in a trashcan.
There were also Airheads like those they'd had the misfortune to meet in McDonalds who were obviously the jocks and cheerleaders of the school. Several runts hid in the corners keeping an eye out for the various bullies that roamed the school. One of them was even being stuffed inside of a sugar coated brown locker by a Sour Warhead and a Sour Punch Straw, both wearing worn motorcycle jackets.
The remainder of the population consisted of a variety of different candies. There were Kit Kats, Butterfingers who were easy to locate due to the amount of stuff they constantly dropped on the floor, Hershey's, Dum Dums, and others.
"Excuse me, y'all look a little bit lost…" said a Hershey's Bar. "Can I help you find something?"
"Any chance you know a Sour Patch Kid named Billy?"
"Well, there are several Sour Patch Kids that go here but none of them have the name of Billy. There was one that graduated a couple of years ago with that name though… How about I give you a tour of the school?"
"Uh…sure…" said Sora hesitantly as the bell rang and the bustle of students hurried into their classrooms. "Shouldn't you get to class though?"
"Nah, I'm an office aide, I can do whatever I want to in first period." They began walking down the filthy, gooey hallway.
"Why is your school so dirty?" asked Riku.
"There's a reason that we're called junk food…"
"Oh, I get it!" exclaimed Sora with a grin on his face.
"Sora, that wasn't a joke…"
"Anyway," said the Hershey's as she rolled her eyes, "My name is Ashley and welcome to Sugar High." They'd walked about halfway down the hallway before she halted and pointed at a particular locker with the initials "D.J" scrawled on them. "Have you ever heard the legend of Davey Jones?"
"He's in Pirates of the Caribbean!" exclaimed Sora.
"Uh…sure…Anyway this was the locker of Davey Jones." Ashley's voice became high pitched and spooky. "They say that sometimes when you're alone in the hallway you can hear the souls trapped in there crying out for help…"
Riku and Ashley began to walk again, but Sora stayed and stared at the locker when suddenly a voice pierced the silence, "Is someone out there? Please help! HELP! Someone get me out of here!" The locker started rattling as someone inside furiously beat on it.
"Woh, that's creepy!" exclaimed Sora as he hastily caught up with Riku and Ashley, feeling a bad case of the heebie-jeebies.
"Welp, here's your last stop. You'll meet the principal and receive your schedules."
"Wait…schedules?" asked Riku incredulously. "We don't want to enroll here."
"How old are you?"
"Seventeen…"
"In Candy Land it is illegal to drop out of high school so you have to be enrolled. Sorry, that's the rules. See ya!" Ashley scampered off.
"I see we have some new students," said the principal as she came into view. "Welcome to Sugar High. My name is Principal Frostine." She had long white hair and wore a sparkling blue dress.
Sora's jaw dropped at the sheer beauty of it all…in her hands she held two perfectly formed hot caramel sundaes.
"Here's some complementary ice cream and your schedules…"
"Uh…thanks…" muttered Riku as he took the items she proffered.
Her eyes suddenly turned dark, turning her sweet radiant face into a creepy demonic-something you'd see in the Exorcist movies-expression, "Enjoy your stay in hell," she said in a deep demonic voice as Sora and Riku began to walk away.
"What was that?" asked Riku in a surprised voice as Sora and he spun around to face her.
Principal Frostine's face became sweet once more and her voice returned to its cheerful norm, "Oh nothing, have a nice day!" She briskly walked off leaving Sora and Riku gaping at her with their mouths open. Two flies promptly flew into their mouths causing both of them to gag.
"So, I guess we're enrolled now?" asked Sora when he could breathe again.
"I guess so… For second period we have Candy Land History. I guess this will be interesting, but we can't stay here for long. We've got to save Kairi and the others," said Riku.
"Kairi Schmairi. She'll be fine. Since when would anything Disney related ever kill her off? Well okay, maybe they do kill off some characters. They killed off Mufasa…poor guy. Okay, at least I'm pretty sure they won't kill her violently…"
The bell rang, dismissing class.
"Good point. Let's go and have some fun."
da marshmallow: Welp, I don't have much to say other than please review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Justice League, Furby, Sour Patch Kids, any of the candy brands mentioned…although I do have a handful of Starbursts (not for long)…, Candy Land, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lion King, and anything else I forgot to mention that I obviously do not own.
