Riku was with Maleficent and her gang of villains as they tried to convince him to join them in their group. Of course, the best way to convince someone to join a cause is to sing. Either that or give them cookies. They decided to start with the first option.

Jafar: Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales

Ursula: But, Riku you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails

Ursula patted him on the head ignoring the disgruntled look after the boy pulled it away from her.

Maleficent: You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp.

Captain Hook: You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how

Captain Hook took the teen with an arm around his shoulders and pulling back so fast it made him twirl away.

Hades: See all you gotta do is rock that amp

Jafar: Mister young Riku, Sir
What will your pleasure be?

Oogie Boogie: Let us take your order,
Jot it down

Maleficent: You ain't never had a friend like we
No, no

Riku: Life is mine to decide,
And I'm not your maître d'

Maleficent: C'mon, whisper what it is you want

Riku glanced at his gloved hands then clenched them into fists, never seeing the brief smirk on that green face.

All Villains: You ain't never had a friend like we

Ursula: Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service

Ursula offered Riku seafood on a blue-gray metal tray. He grabbed a piece and bit into it hungrily.

Jafar: You're the boss,
The king, the shah

Jafar conjured a brilliant cape that fluttered to rested on Riku's shoulders. The corners of his lips twitched upwards.

Oogie Boogie: Say what you wish
It's yours! True dish

Oogie Boogie poked Riku in a teasing manner that almost reminded him of Sora. The brief frown at said comparison turned into a reluctant smile.

Hades: How about a little more Baklava?
Have some of column A,
Try all of column B

Hades offered an assortment of drinks to Riku in creepy looking cups.

Captain Hook: We're in the mood to help you, dude

Maleficent: You ain't never had a friend like we"

The villains started performing several tricks for Riku.

All Villains: Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this out their little hat?
Can your friends go, poof?
Well, lookie here
Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear?
So dontcha sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed.
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a mage for your chargé d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So whatcha wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is work like so – and OH

Maleficent: Mister young Riku, Sir, have a wish or two or three

Oogie Boogie: I'm on the job–

Jafar: You big nabob.

Oogie Boogie got gagged by Jafar for the rude interruption.

Maleficent: You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like we

The memory of Kairi clearly contemplating ditching Riku beside an oblivious Sora, just the two of them taking the raft all THREE had worked on, appeared in a mirage-like image in front of Riku. His stomach coiled as he recalled the sense of betrayal he'd felt when overhearing her.

All Villains: You ain't never had a friend like me, hah

Riku gave a firm nod, fists tightening and eyes sparking in determination, but then the determination vanished.

"I don't know." Riku mused. They decided it was time for Plan B.

"We have cookies." Maleficent added.

"I'm in!" Riku smirked.

The credit for this chapter goes to NatNicole with some improvision from yours truly. Thanks Nat, or Nicole, or... Well let's just go with NatNicole.

Ruby Rose and Her Cookies: Okay, yeah. The Xigbar thing is gross, but have you seen the guy who actually sings it?

NatNicole: I'm glad you liked it.

Guest: I can see if I'm able to.
