(The room is a complete mess. Moogles are randomly wandering around.)

(From behind the sofa)

Audience: Why didn't you lock your secret door. This stupid Moogle War has been going on for forever.

Lights aura: Don't lose heart people we can win.

Roxas: (sobbing) It's all over!!

Lights aura: What's wrong with him?

Rye: We just ran out of ice cream five minutes ago.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts. I only own Rye and my crazy sugar deprived mind.

Rye let out a sigh as she and Goofy watched Sora and Donald argue over who should fly the Gummy Ship. They had been arguing since the Gummy left Olympus Coliseum. Rye leaned in towards Goofy and whispered, "How long do you think they have been arguing?"

Goofy looked at his watch. "Probably for an hour" he whispered back, "Sora sure is stubborn."

Rye nodded, "Yeah, so is Donald."

They both flinched as Donald screamed at the top of his lungs. "YOU ARE NOT DRIVING THE GUMMY SHIP AND THAT IS FINAL!!!!"

Sora rolled his eyes as he slouched back into his chair.

An uncomfortable silence settled around the four of them.

Finally after ten minutes, Rye broke the silence. "Hey look guys! There's a new world up ahead."

A small world covered in a lush green forest loomed before them.

"Hey, Donald, maybe King Mickey's down there." Goofy said, relieved that the uncomfortable silence was over.

"In a backwater place like that?" Donald shook his head. "No way! Let's move on."

Goofy and Rye looked at him in shock.

Sora frowned as he crossed his arms. "Hold on, Riku and Kairi might be down there. Let's check it out."

Donald shook his head again as he hunched over the wheel. "Forget it! We're on an important mission!"

Rye and Goofy huddled together as they watched Donald and Sora glare at each other.

"Why do I get the feeling that something bad is going to happen" Rye muttered.

Sora reached over and grabbed the wheel from Donald. "Just land."

The Gummy ship dove right sharply.

Donald jerked the wheel from Sora's grasp. "No!"

The Gummy ship dove left sharply.

Goofy and Rye held on to each other for dear life. "I want off this rollercoaster." Rye whined. Goofy nodded in agreement, too scared to speak.

Sora pulled the wheel away from Donald again. "Come on Donald!"

The Gummy ship flipped twice to the right.

Donald gained control again. "No!"

The Gummy ship flipped twice to the left.

"I think I'm going to be sick" Goofy moaned as his face turned green.

"Me too," Rye added.

A big red shiny button caught Sora's eye. "We're landing." With a mischievous grin he pushed the big red shiny button.

Donald's face turned bright red. "Don't touch that! Nooo!" But he was already too late. The Gummy Ship jerked to a stop and sat there as if it were suspended in time. The next second, they were hurdling down towards the world below. Donald and Sora turned back and looked at Rye and Goofy with guilty faces. Rye and Goofy glared back at them.

"If we live through this," Rye yelled over the roar of the engine. "I'm going to kill the both of you."

They all screamed as the Gummy ship plummeted down to the world below.

Sora woke up with a groan. The first thing he saw was the human sized hole in the thatched roof ceiling. I must have fallen through there he thought as he slowly sat up rubbing his head. He found himself in what appeared to be a tree house. A sharp pain in his head forced him back to reality.

"Oww…my head…" He held his head as he called out, "Rye? Donald? Goofy?"

There was no response.

Sora groaned again as he slowly stood up. "Great now Rye really is going to kill me."

A loud growl snapped Sora out of his thoughts. Looking up in the rafters, Sora saw a large jaguar. Its hungry eyes bore into him as it readied itself to pounce.

Forget Rye killing me, he thought as he held out his hand to summon the Keyblade, If I don't hurry that stupid jaguar would be more than happy to do the job.

Unfortunately, Sora wasn't fast enough. As he brought the Keyblade up to block the jaguar's attack, it swiped the Keyblade out of its way with its massive claws. The force of the blow sent Sora slamming into a nearby wall. With the breath knocked out of him, Sora forced himself to stand on his wobbly legs. The jaguar lunged at him. Before it could make contact, a brown haired man wearing only a loin cloth came swooping in from the rafters and kicked the jaguar out of the way. The man and jaguar glare at each other for a moment. The jaguar let out a hiss before jumping out a nearby window.

The man relaxed as he turned to face Sora. His brown eyes bored into him. "Sabor, danger."

Sora scratched the back of his neck and grinned awkwardly. The man's staring was starting to make him a little nervous. "Um… thank you."

The man cocked his head. "Thank you."

Why is he thanking me? Sora thought as the man continued to stare at him. "Uh, what is this place?"

The man grinned happily. "This place, this place."

This guy's a little weird. He just keeps copying everything I say. Sora decided to change the subject. "Okaaay… Where did the others go? Look I got separated from my friends. Have you seen them?"

The man frowned in confusion.

"Friends…" Sora said as he waved his hand in the air in a desperate attempt to make him to understand.

The man's face lit up. "Friends!"
Sora sighed in relief. "Right, my friends! There's three of them. The loud one is Dona-"

The man shook his head to show that he didn't understand.

Now that Sora thought about it, it didn't matter if he found Donald and Goofy. It was Donald's fault that we got separated anyway. If he really cares, he can look for me. Sora thought as he turned his gaze back to the man. "You know what? Never mind. I'm looking for my friends Riku, Rye, and Kairi."

"Look for Riku, friends?" The man asked curiously.

Sora nodded. "Right!"

"Rye, friends?"

"Yes," Sora could feel himself growing impatient.

Something moved in Sora's peripheral vision. As he looked, he saw Kairi slowly walking around the circumference of the room. Am I seeing things? Sora thought as he rubbed his eyes.

The man cocked his head. "Kairi, friends?"

"Uhh… right" Sora was still staring at Kairi.

She turned and winked at him before disappearing. Sora blinked a couple of times and rubbed his head. I must have hit my head harder than I thought.

"Friends here," the man said interrupting Sora's thoughts.

Sora looked back in surprise. "Really?"

The man grunted as he pounded his chest with his hand. "Oh…Oh…Ah…. Friends here."

Sora shrugged his shoulders. "Not sure I understand, but show me! Take me to Rye, Riku, and Kairi!"

The man pointed to himself. "Tarzan," he said," Tarzan go."

"Oh!" Sora said realizing that Tarzan was the man's name. "I'm Sora…" He pantomimed walking. "Tarzan go, Sora go go!"

Tarzan looked at Sora as if he was crazy for a moment before leaving the tree house.

Great, now he thinks I'm weird, Sora thought as he followed Tarzan. Well, at least I got my point across.

As he stepped out into the sunlight, he was greeted by an endless green forest. Sora frowned. I hope the others are alright. Sora thought as he hurried to catch up with Tarzan.

"Stupid bamboo! Stupid rock! Stupid forest! Stupid world!" Donald yelled at the top of his lungs as he kicked a rock. After the crash, Goofy and Donald woke up to find themselves in a bamboo thicket.

Goofy watched as Donald continued with his rambling. "You know when we find Rye, she is going to kill both you and Sora."

Donald groaned as he crossed his arms and sat on a large rock. "Hopefully she won't remember."

They sat in silence for a few moments.

Goofy sighed as he looked around. "Gawrsh, where are we? I sure hope Sora and Rye are okay."

Donald rolled his eyes as he stood up. "Aw, who needs them? We can find the king without their help…Huh?" A rustle from behind him caught his attention. Donald whirled around and came face to face with a young gorilla. They both stood still staring at each other for a couple of seconds. Then they both screamed at the top of their lungs as they ran in opposite directions. The gorilla dropped something as she left.

"Huh? What's this?" Goofy said as he picked up the object.

"Lo..Looks like a Gummy block" Donald stuttered from behind Goofy.

A gun shot went off causing both of them to jump.

"Uh, Donald, I think we're about to have company" Goofy said.

The girl sighed as she packed her last items into her suitcase. "I sure hope this will last for the journey..." she mumbled as she closed the latch on her suitcase.

"You aren't planning to stow away on your father's ship now are you?" said a young amused voice from behind her.

The girl slowly turned around with a guilty look on her face. "Maybe."

She could not see the speaker due to the fact that he was standing in the shadows but she knew his voice all too well.

The figure sighed. "You know your father would not approve."

"Please don't tell daddy. I know that he will be mad at me but I need to find out what happened that night… what happened to me."

The figure was silent for a moment. "Well," he began, "I am your guardian therefore I must protect you…"

The girl's shoulders sagged. She knew that she had lost.

"So," he continued, "If for some reason we happened to… get stuck on the ship while it is taking off, his majesty could not complain since I would be there to protect you…"

The girl's face lit up. "Thank you so much! You're the best!"

I can always count on you, Haku.

I can always count on you, Haku.

The words echoed through Rye's mind as she came to. Haku? Rye groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Who is Haku?

She woke up to a sea of green. Trees surrounded her on all sides. "Rye? Rye, are you okay?" asked a worried voice. Rye looked down to see Jiminy standing on her chest with a frown on his face.

Rye smiled. "Oh, hey Jiminy. How long was I out?"

Jiminy relaxed slightly, "For about an hour. I was afraid that you might never wake up."

Rye grinned sheepishly, "Sorry about that. I'm kind of a deep sleeper." She tried to sit up. Pain shot through her left ankle causing her to grimace.

Seeing her expression, Jiminy said apologetically. "When you landed, a log fell on your ankle. I tried to move it but" He looked himself up and down, "As you can see I'm afraid I couldn't really do much."

Rye shook her head as she tried to push the log off. "Don't worry about it. Besides, I think I only twisted it." The log refused to budge. Rye let out a sigh as she leaned back on her hands. The pain in her ankle had begun to throb. She tried to block the pain out of her mind. At least the Heartstaff didn't weigh as much as it used to. In fact, it almost felt like it wasn't even there.

Her face paled as she patted her back. "Jiminy? Where's the Heartstaff?" she asked trying to keep her voice steady.

Jiminy hopped of her chest and pointed behind her. "When we landed, it flew off over there."

Rye looked behind her to find the Heartstaff lying on a pile of leaves. She let out a sigh of relief as Jiminy continued.

"If you want I can try to roll it to you."

Rye smiled. He really did have a heart of gold. "No, that's alright. As soon as I get this dumb log off, I go get it myself."

A rustle from the foliage caught their attention. Three monkey-like heartless stepped out from behind the trees. All three stared at her, their eyes filled with hunger.

"Oh boy, this doesn't look good" Rye mumbled as she leaned back and reached for the Heartstaff. It was just past her fingertips. She grumbled in frustration as she pushed on the log. It wouldn't budge.

The three heartless slowly advanced, laughter in the cold eyes.

"Uh Jiminy," Rye whispered to the little cricket beside her, "We need to come up with a new plan and fast."

One of the heartless grew impatient. It sprung at her. Before she could react, a figure jumped in between her and the heartless knocking the heartless away as if it were a mere toy. In a flash, it attacked the other two destroying them instantly. Seeing that its comrades were defeated, the last heartless quickly stood up and raced into the forest. The figure stood there catching its breath. When it turned around, Rye let out a gasp.

It was none other than the heartless wolf from Traverse Town.

Seeing her reaction, Jiminy quickly piped up, "What do you want with us?"

The Heartless Wolf lowered himself to the ground. "Please I don't mean any harm. I only wish to help."

Rye wasn't sure why but, in her heart, she felt that she could trust him. Plus, though he was only a few feet away from her, the weird feeling in her stomach hadn't return.

The wolf slowly crawled towards her. If she wasn't in shock, she might have laughed at how comical he looked.

When he finally reached her, he sat up. "I'm going to remove the log now." Rye and Jiminy watched in amazement as he effortlessly lifted the log off her ankle and set it to the side.

Pain surged through Rye's body as she quickly brought her legs into her chest. Her ankle was swollen two times its normal size and was a yellowish blue color.

The wolf's voice cut through the pain, "May I see your ankle."

Rye looked at him for a moment before she slowly extended her ankle towards him. She winced slightly as he inspected it with his paw. "You've definitely twisted it. If you trust me, I can heal it. I will only fix it with your consent though."

"Don't let him, Rye" Jiminy hissed, "He's a heartless."

Rye continued to stare at the wolf. Then to both the wolf's and Jiminy's amazement, she slowly nodded.

The wolf smiled, "Watch this." He placed his nose on her ankle. "Cura" he mumbled as bright green light encircled her ankle. A soothing sensation ran through Rye's body. After the light died down, both Rye and Jiminy were surprised to see her ankle back to normal. She quickly stood up and tested her ankle. It worked perfectly.

"Wow," she said as she turned to face the wolf, "It's all better. Thank you so much for…" she trailed off realizing that the wolf was nowhere in sight. "He's gone."

"Thank goodness," Jiminy said as he began to scribble in his notebook. "I suppose this is another event you don't wasn't me to tell the others?"

"If you don't mind," Rye said as she picked up the Heartstaff and placed it in its holder. She stood frozen in place for a moment. She had just realized that they were by themselves.

She let out a growl as she clinched her fists. "When I find them, I am so killing Sora and Donald!"

Roxas: (sobbing) Oh, the horror! All the ice cream is gone! Gone!

Fan Girls: This is why war is wrong. It only brings tears.

Audience: Wow, we didn't know fan girls could be so peaceful.

(Random envelope falls behind sofa)

Lights aura: (picks it up and reads front) It's a letter from the Moogles.

Rye: Ooh, what does it say.

Lights aura: It says: Give up, we have kidnapped Sora and are holding him prisoner. If you do not give up in the next 30 minutes, we will kidnap Riku as well. Yours Truly, the evil Moogles.

Sora Fan Girls: They captured Sora!

Riku Fan Girls: They threatened Riku!

Fan Girls: We shall destroy the moogles! (grabs pitchforks and torches of doom)

Lights aura: Wow, the fan girls are even more crazy than the audience.

Audience: (glares at Lights aura)
