Chie looked at the dog, realising something peculiar. "Are you yellow?" She asked, surprised and took a double-take at the dog in front of her.
That didn't happen! Dogs came in brown, white and black, but not yellow! Didn't they? Despite herself, she reached out to pet it. The dog let her pet him, before barking and running off.
"Hey! Come back, boy!" Chie ran after him. She soon found herself in what looked like a town square. It looked like a pretty nice place. People were eating in nearby cafes and some were dancing in the town square.
"Pretty..." Chie murmured, before walking into a shop. It was a small sort of shop, painted yellow and green. A tall, middle-aged man, evidently the owner stood behind the counter.
"Hey, there! Welcome to Cid's Accessory Shop? What can I do for—oh..it's just a kid." He went back to his work, clearly not interested.
He turned back again, his expression was unreadable.
"Let me guess, your world got destroyed?" Chie nodded, a little confused on how he knew. Did this sort of thing happen often or something?
"My island was destroyed...I woke up in an alleyway. There were these weird monsters too, they killed people" She said, nodding.
The man opened up a case. "I'm Cid, and your world was destroyed. When your world is destroyed you end up here. This is Traverse Town." Chie nodded, that made a little sense on how he knew what happened.
Cid picked up a keyblade and handed it to Chie. "You'll need these to defend yourself against them. They're called the Heartless. They want to eat your hearts. So, are you staying here or leaving?" He inquired.
Chie didn't answer, but it didn't take a genius to tell all she wanted was to go back home. Cid shrugged. "Well, if you want to return home to your family and friends, you'll have to seal 10 Keyholes. Every world has one, to get to other worlds, you'll need a Gummi Ship, which I have for free."
Chie nodded and walked over to them. "I'll take it! I want to see my family again!" Cid grinned and gestured to a gate.
"If you walk through to the second district, there's a hotel there, where you can stay, only 5 dollars. Our keyhole is in the second district. It's inside of the fountain, you need to ring the bell to get the fountain to open the key." He said.
Chie beamed. "Thanks, Cid!" She walked out, holding her brand new keyblade and pushed the gates open to the second district.
She soon found herself in the second district. It had only just occurred to her that she was doing this completely alone.
Her best friend had moved away only a couple of months ago, meaning she didn't have anyone to hang out with, but it would have helped to have Amber around, just to talk to.
As she walked under a balcony, she heard voices.
"Gawrsh, is this the Heartless kid?"
"Let's go get her goofy!" Suddenly two figures fell out of the balcony and on to a very startled Chie. "W-what?! What was that for?!" She complained.
One of them saw her keyblade. "The key!" As soon as those words left the person's mouth, multiple Heartless appeared and a bigger one in armour appeared, making Chie's heart sink.
One of the people who had fallen on top of her rang a bell and what looked like a keyhole appeared.
Chie ran toward the keyhole and pointed her keyblade at it, hoping it would do something. The keyhole sealed and the Heartless disappeared, making it seem as though they had never been there in the first place.
"We sealed it!" Chie jumped up and down excitedly, before turning to the two people. "Who are you?" She asked politely.
"King Mickey left for an urgent issue. He told us to come to Traverse Town and search for two Keyblade Wielders. You are the chosen one. And those things are Heartless. They have no hearts, and they can't control what they're doing." explained one, which looked like a duck.
Chie was a little annoyed that they hadn't introduced themselves but smiled politely.
"If you want to return to your island, you have to seal the other 9 Keyholes. We're both looking for things. We're looking for King Mickey! It would be better if we worked together." The duck's friend said.
"Okay. Let's go! I'm Chie Ayano." Chie said excitedly.
"Great! I'm Donald Duck!" Donald quacked, before sticking his hand out."And I'm Goofy!" Goofy put his hand out as well. Chie put her hand on top so they were all on top of each other.
"All for one and one for all!" Goofy cheered. Donald raised his staff and they were pulled into a vortex that twisted and turned and suddenly they were all ejected into the Gummi ship.
Chie found herself thrown on the floor of what looked like a weird space ship. She got up and looked around, green eyes scanning everything around her.
It was a small red and white spaceship made of gelatin. There was a kitchen, a bathroom, a couch with a TV and a control room. To her astonishment, however, a cricket jumped off the couch and started to talk? How many more weird creatures am I going to meet? Chie thought to herself, staring at the cricket.
"Hi, I'm Jiminy Cricket! You must be the Keyblade Master. We use this Gummi Ship to get to other worlds. You, Donald and Goofy are the ones who will be working to seal them. Donald is the magician, Goofy is the guardian, I am the journalist, Chip and Dale fly the ship, and those three people over on the bed (there are also beds) are Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith. Leon protects the ship, Yuffie is a sniper, and Aerith is our chef. Your bed is right next to theirs!" Jiminy squeaked.
Chie looked through the window to find that they were in space. Everyone split up to do their own thing and Chie sat down on her bed and looked out the window. Chip called from the control room
"We'll be reaching our next world at about 8 am tomorrow!"
