The Gummi Ship hurtled the ways between to other worlds. Donaled was flying the ship through space getting a little annoyed at Sora's constant questions while he was driving and dodging enemies. Sora, on the other hand was so excited, asking her and kairi's questions to both Donald and Goofy and trying to explore the Gummi Ship's cockpit a little.

"So, how does this thing move?" Sora asked as the Gummi Ship was the most advanced thing she has ever seen and that was saying something with all the stuff Gwen had invented over the years. She really wanted to know how it worked.

"Well, it Wak! Can't really talk much right now!" Donald replied, gripping the control stick, and the ship banked a full forty-five degrees. When Sora looked past him to the lands between, she could see big rocks like meteoroids and strange shapes floating around. She was amazed and was sure her family, especially Amber, would love this.

Jiminy hopped out of Sora's pocket. "They say this Gummi Ship runs on some mysterious power.'

"That's right," said Goofy. "That's why it can go between different worlds." Ven, Vani, and Kairi were listening to the conversation and were interested in how it worked also.

"Hmm…" Sora looked around the cabin. There was plenty of space for them all to move around, but it felt different from other charges she has been in. The closest one was the cloud coster.

This is nothing like my glider.

Yeah and a lot more comfortable than going through gates of darkness.

This is kinda like the cloud coaster.

This is so cool and you are right Sora. It kinda is.

"The stuff used to make this ship is very special," said Jiminy.

"Special? What is it?"

"It's made of a particular material called gummi blocks. And this material-"

"Quack!"

Jiminy, explaining with his memo in one hand, found himself interrupted by Donald's shout.

"There's something up ahead!" Sora and Goofy went running into the cockpit.

"Is that what a world looks like from the outside?" Sora asked fascinated at what she was looking at.

Yeah, the world looks so cool.

Have you guys been to this world?

Yeah, they all float in the lanes between and no, I haven't been to this world. What about you Vanitas.

Nope, not me.

She had never seen anything like it before. The world floating there in the lands between was covered in a heart pattern, and there were green arches and a castle. Somewhere she'd never been before- never even dreamed of. She wanted nothing more than to land there.

"Yep," said Donald. "The worlds are all like this, floating here and there in the lanes between."

"Wooow." Sora's eyes showed nothing but wonder.

Goofy and Donald exchanged glances, and the Gummi Ship swooped down to land.

The Gummi Ship touched down in the middle of some strangely colorful fog. None of them could see far ahead of them.

"Okay, we're off!"

Sora, Donald, and Goofy waved to Jiminy, who stayed to watch the ship, and looked around them, stepped off the ship. and -

"Whoa!"

There was no ground. The three of them drifted softly down and down into a deep hole.

"It kind of feels like we're flying." Sora said as a gust of wind from below buffeted in her face. This is kinda like someone used a floating potion on us and it's just as fun.

Yeah.

Just like on your sixth birthday.

Yeah Cedric's gift was so fun.

"Hey, watch this!" Said Goofy as he waved his arms as if he were swimming then he rested his head on his elbows in a napping pose. Then Sora and Donald landed lightly on their feet, and Goofy crashed spectacularly onto the ground.

"Owww…" Goofy staggered up to his feet. The Gummi Ship ended up hovering down next to the trio.

"Whoa!"

"Gee, that sure was a surprise." Jiminy poked his head out of the ship. Right in front of them, a white rabbit went scurrying by.

"Oh, my fur and whiskers! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear-I'm here, I should be there. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late! The queen-she'll have my head for sure!"

The white rabbit disappeared down the hallway, wearing a pair of glasses and holding a giant watch.

"Why's he in such a hurry?" Sora wondered, staring after him.

"Well, let's find out!" said Donald. "The ship's all yours, Jiminy!"

The trio ran after the white rabbit and finally came to a stop at a door, which they looked like they should be able to get through.

"Well, there's no keyhole," said Goofy. "But looks like that white rabbit went through here."

Goofy opened the door, and beyond it, they could see another door through which the white rabbit was just running.

"Let's go!"

They went through that door and then another… And then they came into a big room.

It had a fireplace and a clock, like someone's living room but somewhat off-there was a large faucet in the room.

Suddenly, the trio saw the white rabbit run into a tiny door and ran through it.

"He shrank?!" Sora ran to the door and crouched down, the door too small for her to go through. "How did he get so small?"
The doorknob suddenly moved drowsily and said, "No, you're simply too big."

"It talks!" Donald shouted.

The doorknob looked annoyed and made a huge yawn. "Must you be so loud? You woke me up."

Goofy moved closer and cheerfully said, "Good morning!"

"Good night! I need to get more sleep." the doorknob started to go back to sleep.

"Wait! What do we have to do to get small?" Sora asked the doorknob.

"Why don't you try the bottle... over there?"

The three of them turned around and saw two bottles, one with a red label and the other with a blue label, on top of a table.

As they approached the table, they noticed the labels on the bottles with the red label showing a small tree becoming a large tree and the blue label showing a large tree becoming a small tree.

Realizing that the red bottle makes you large and the blue one makes you small, the three drank from the blue bottle and shrunk to a much smaller size onto the table.

Somehow, the Heartless had shrunk with them and were ready to attack the trio.

This is just like when I went to the castle of dreams the same thing happened to me it was crazy.

Hey can't Sofia shrink and grow just by wishing it?

Yeah. One of her powers from her amulet.

We can talk about this more later. Heartless now.

Right.

Thankfully, the trio were successfully able to fight off the Heartless and then headed for the door. However, upon reaching the door, they found that it would not open. Fortunately, they found a tunnel to the right of the door and went through that instead. As they exited the strange door they found themselves in a rose hedge shaped like a heart with card guards guarding it. It led to what looked like some sort of outdoor courtroom. When they got a little closer the guards moved to the side and they saw a little blond girl wearing a blue dress and a man with grey hair wearing a suit on the defendatstand and in front of them was a woman dressed like a queen as the judge. Sora was sure the man looked familiar to her. The rabbit from earlier ran up some stairs that were off to the side to a platform and played a trumpet then said, "Court is now in session!"

"I'm on trial? But why?" asked the girl.

"Yes. May I ask for what your majesty?" The man said in a polite way but any sane person could hear the annoyance in his voice.

The rabbit then said, "Her majesty, the Queen of Hearts, presiding.

"This girl and man are the culprits. There's no doubt about it. And the reason is… because I say so that's why!"

That is not how a good ruler does law.

That lady is evil. Can I destroy her?

Vanitas, no.

This is a kangaroo court.

"That is so unfair!" yelled the girl.

"Well, have you anything to say in your defense?" asked the Queen of Hearts.

"Of course! We've done absolutely nothing wrong!"

"The young lady is right we are innocent." said the man.

Wait that is Balieywick thought Sora in a worried tone.

Don't worry Sky. If anything happens we will help them.

Yeah. They'll be fine with us here.

I'm sure Baileywick and the girl will be ok we'll help them when there is an opening, OK?

OK

"You may be queen but I'm afraid that doesn't give you the right to be so so… mean!" said the girl with confidence

"Silence! You dare defy me?!" The Queen of Hearts yelled angrily.

"Hey guys, we should help them out. That man looks kind of familiar."

"Yeah but…" said Donald.

"We're outsiders, so wouldn't that be muddling?" asked Goofy.

"Meddling!"

"Oh, yeah. And that's against the rules."

"But...!" Sora tried to but in.

"The court finds the defendants… guilty as charged! For the crimes of assault and attempted theft of my heart… off with their heads!"

"Hua!" Sora breathed out.

"No! No! Oh please!" said the girl in panic.

"Oh no! Please I need to find my… my family," Balieywick said with tears in his eyes thinking of all the people he cares about.

"Hold it right there!" Yelled Sora as she, Donald, and Goofy ran towards Baileywick and the girl.

Baileywick was shocked, "Prin…"

"Quiet!" Yelled the queen. "Who are you? How dare you interfere with my court?!" Asked the Queen of Hearts.

"Excuse me, your majesty." said Sora as she curtseyed. "We know who the real culprit is!"

"Uh-huh . It's the Heartle-," Goofy said then covered his mouth.

Trying to still be polite so the queen might listen and so no one will get hurt sora continued but she was still annoyed. "Anyway, they are not the ones you're looking for."

"That's nonsense. Do you have any proof?"

Oh, we need proof but she doesn't! Vanitas said in an annoyed tone.

Uggh. This is the worst.

Witch.

The girl and Baliywick were put into two gold cages. The Queen of Hearts told them to look for evidence of the girl Alice and Baileywick's innocence. If they failed, it was off with all their heads.

Before leaving to look for some evidence, the trio decided to talk with Alice and Baileywick.

"Hello there, you two. Are you both okay?" Sora asked the trapped duo.

"We're fine, all things considered. I just wish that we weren't in serious danger right now," the girl answered. "By the way, my name's Alice, and this is Baileywick."

"So, how did the two of you get here anyway?" asked Sora.

"Well, I followed the white rabbit down the rabbit hole and then got captured by the playing cards not long afterward," Alice answered.

Before Baileywick could say anything, Sora mouthed to him, "No princess."

"I just arrived here after our world got shrouded in darkness, lady Sora," Baileywick answered.

"Don't worry. Donald, Goofy, and I will find a way to free you two. We just need to find the right evidence," Sora reassured.

Before anyone else could say anything, the card guards dragged Sora away. "Hey! No talking with the accused," one of the guards yelled at Sora.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy left the area and found a cat called the Cheshire Cat. It gave them some cryptic advice in riddles and from what they could understand they needed to go around and find the evidence. They decided to split up to find the evidence faster. As Sora was looking for the evidence she found lots of chest, some had healing items, some had weird crystals or jewels, and some had dalmatian puppies. After looking she had found 12 of the puppies. Some of the chests were easier to find than others. But she found all the chests. She returned to the gummi ship really quick to drop off the puppies. During this, she found two boxes of evidence. One on a fire place and another one near a giant faucet on a ledge. When she got that one, the cat appeared and congulated her and gave her the spell blizzard. Just like Donald had given her the fire spell and Goofy gave her the dodge roll back at Traverse Town.

These puppies are all so adorable. I want to keep them all.

Me too. They are just precious.

Hate to burst your bubble but…

We are not keeping them.

We know. They said in annoyance.

We know. They said in annoyance.

Sora entered the Gummi Ship in order to drop off the puppies. "Hey, Jiminy. I found these puppies across Wonderland. I promised their parents that I would look for them. Can you please watch them until I get back?"

"Sora, there are twelve of them. This is a tall order that you are asking for," Jiminy said.

"Please Jiminy. Look at their little faces," Sora pleaded for the cricket to agree. The puppies all gave sad puppy looks, begging for Jiminy to agree to help him.

Eventually, Jiminy's resolve broke, "Okay, fine. I'll watch over the puppies. But you will have to convince Donald and Goofy on your own."

"Ok that shouldn't be too hard. Look at them. Who could say no to those faces?"

Sora ran back to Donald and Goofy with the evidence in her bag.

"Hey I found some evidence. What about you guys?"

"I found some," said Donald.

"Me too," Goofy also said.

"This looks like enough. Let's go get those two their freedom."

They entered the courtroom and presented the evidence to the queen. With the evidence the queen summoned four boxes. Sora picked one and a heartless came out. Even with this, the queen still said, "I'm the law here! Anyone who defies the queen is guilty!"

"That's crazy!" yelled Donald.

I agree with the duck. She mad.

Yeah, this is a circus not a courtroom.

She needs to be brought down a peg or two. Get'em Sora.

Right

"Seize them at once!" the queen ordered.

The guards made the cages go up and curtains covered them. Sora, donaled, and Goofy fought the card guards, only for the guards to keep recovering and get back up. Eventually, the trio agreed to just attack the device holding the two captives up and run. They constantly attacked the winch while avoiding the guard's attacks, eventually breaking the device and lowering it. However, when the curtains were moved, Alice was gone. The queen of hearts was not happy and ordered her guards to find Alice immediately.

"Baileywick, are you ok? What happened to Alice?

"I'm not quite sure pri-, I meen lady Sora. All I know is that I heard what sounded like her being grabbed by someone."

"We better go and look for Alice, make sure she is okay," Sora decided.

As they left the queens courtroom they ran into the cheshire cat again and he was as confusing as before talking about shadows and the upside down room so they went there. When they got there, they noticed that the room was the main room again, just upside down. After fighting off the Heartless in the room, Sora lit both of the lanterns that were hanging on the ceiling. Then, the trio returned to the room again rightside up and a large Heartless appeared.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy proceeded to fight the giant Heartless. Sora jumped up using the table and hit the Heartless in the head three times in a row, causing the Heartless to fall down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the trio constantly attacked the Heartless. Eventually, the Heartless got back up again and proceeded to get rid of the table. He also used the nearby stove to light his rods on fire. He attacked the trio with his new fire powers, dealing a lot of damage to the trio. Fortunately, the trio were able to get in more attacks as time went on and, eventually, they were able to defeat the Trickster Heartless. After the Heartless faded away Baileywick came out of his hiding spot. Before anyone can say anything the doorknob wakes up annoyed then as the doorknob yawned an outline of a keyhole appeared, just then the Keyblade started glowing and shot a beam of light of light into the hole and a weird block thing came out. The cat showed up and told them that Alice was no longer in that world so they decided to look for her in other worlds and went back to the Gummi Ship.

When they got to the Gummi Ship they were met with a swarm of puppies.

"Oh, I forgot something. Hey Donald, Goofy. I forgot to tell you that I kinda promised these two dalmatians that I would find their puppies. Can we look for them while in different worlds and hold onto any we find until we can take them home? Please?" Sora pleaded with the puppies also gave the two pleading looks.

"Sure thing Sora. Hyuck."

Donolad begrudgingly said yes, but he was mad about it.

Haha. They caved in fast.

Of course who can say no to that face?

How many times have you two fallen for it?

Not that many times.

Barely any.

They haven't won once.

Both Ven and Vani started to blush beat red with Sora and Kairi giggling at there embarrassment.
