Sora asked Donald and Goofy questions like why the Heartless keep dropping money and loot, only for things to get weirdly meta.
This is it. Everyone is here. Well… mostly everyone. Sora thought to himself as he lay outside of Yen Sid's tower, gazing at the stars. The Guardians of Light are only missing Terra and probably Roxas. Now that he mentioned Roxas, Sora is starting to see why his Nobody looked more like Ventus rather than him, despite many Organization members referring to him as the former. Actually, why do they insist into saying he and Roxas look so much like each other!? The spiky-haired boy knows he's not exactly the brightest bulb, but even he finds this ridiculous!
"Sora!" yelled a hard-to-distinguished voice. The boy sat up and turned his head to see his feathery and canine companions, Donald Duck and Goofy Goof.
"Hey guys." Sora greeted the two.
"What are ya doin'?" Goofy asked the young man as he and Donald sat by his side.
"Just... thinking." He said.
"About what?" Donald prodded the teenager as the duck leaned in.
"Well… everything." The boy started, "Everything we've been through has all come down to this crazy Keyblade War stuff. Like, don't you guys think everything has been, you know, getting complicated?" The duck and dog both hummed in agreement. Why not? Their first adventure was as simple as your typical fantasy story. Do a backflip, snap the bad guy's neck, and save the day. Super easy, barely an inconvenience. Okay, it was not easy and they definitely did not snap necks. That would've been brutal, even for them.
"I do agree that things have gotten quite convoluted," Jiminy said as he came out of Sora's hood and sat on shoulder, "Why else did I put everything down on my journal?"
"True..." Sora muttered.
"Sora, is something wrong?" Goofy asked in concern, not that anyone can blame him. The guy has a son, so he can't help but see the spiky-haired boy the same way he sees his dear Maxie.
"...Do you guys think any of this is real… or not?" Sora finally asked. He's been keeping this to himself ever since he had that dream before the Night of Fate.
"WHAT!? Sora, you big palooka, of course this is real!" Donald yelled as usual.
"Sorry, but I've been having that thought right before the Heartless attacked my home," Sora defended, "Plus, that whole confrontation with Xehanort when we were toys makes me wonder if we're just characters in a video game..."
"Sora, that's ridiculous!" The angry duck cried. Goofy however…
"Well, it would explain why the Heartless keep dropping money and items." Goofy chipped in.
"And it would explain why it seemed as though you kept starting over, Sora." Jiminy added in as well.
"You too, Jiminy!?" Donald despaired as even Jiminy is actually giving what Sora said some thought.
"Not only that, has anyone ever had that feeling of deja vu everytime we landed on those safe zones?" Sora came back in with another observation. This is ridiculous! Donald angrily thought to himself, annoyed at his friends.
"Uh, Donald, didn't you try getting the camera to focus on you back at Traverse Town?" Goofy reminded the usually-angry duck of that one time.
"...Oh yeah, I did." Donald conceded. Well that was embarrassing…
Ten minutes later...
"...I'm starting to think maybe we should've jumped on the Organization when they least expected it." Sora decided to bring up. It just makes sense. Maybe do a cheap shot on them while they're spewing what mumbo-jumbo they decided to bring up.
"It would provide a change in pace." Jiminy agreed with the teenager.
"Let me do it. I've been punching people ever since I went on adventures with Uncle Scrooge and Della!" Donald proudly brings it up.
"Della?" The boy questioned.
"His sister." Goofy answered.
"You have a sister, Donald?"
"...I don't like to talk about it." The duck answered depressingly. As the four continued talking, they did not notice a redheaded girl and a silver-haired boy staring at them from a distance just outside the door.
"How long have they've been at this?" Riku asked the girl beside her.
"Ten minutes," Kairi answered, "You know, you guys should really let me come with you. I mean, you get paid for slaying Heartless! It's no wonder Sora's practically rich!"
"Never knew you were a gold digger, Kairi." The young man jokingly accused the short girl.
"I'm just saying! I don't want to be left out while you two are out there slaying monsters and getting money in style!"
Riku chuckled at his friend's apparent attitude. Although, that question of whether everything is real or not is starting to get to him as well… Oh no...
