Chapter 4: The Deal

Riku told Maleficent about what happened and how he wanted to find his friends. After he had finished his story Maleficent spoke.

Maleficent: Well my dear it seems to me you need someone to help you and to look after you, you did say you are with the darkness?

Riku: Well ya…

Maleficent: Well Riku I will help you…if you help me that is.

Riku: OK I'll help!

Maleficent: Good Riku, the first thing I'll will need you to do it to get me a girl named Alice. We need her you see, along with other girls and I'm sure while we do that we will come across your friends….

Riku and Fredrick were shown to a gummi ship, and were told of where to find this Alice girl. They flew off to Wonderland and got out of the gummi ship. After falling down a weird hole they landed it a hallway.

Riku: What a strange place *looks around*

Fredrick: Yessss it is, But I thinkss we should keep going…

Riku: Ya you're right we should

They two walked down the hallway into a small room. Riku noticed that there was a small door on the other side. He knelt down and tried to open it.

Doorknob: 0.0 OOWW!!

Riku: O.o WHAT THE!!!!! *Pulls hand away*

Doorknob: Do you mind!?!?!

Riku: You can talk???

Doorknob: Of chores I can talk!

Riku: Man this is weird, I wonder what else can talk?

Fredrick: How do we get through??

Doorknob: You are to big why don't you drink from that bottle on the table and then you….can….ZZZZzzzzZZZz

Riku & Freddy: -.-;

Riku: Well I do see another hole, door, thing… right there! *points to the left of the door* we can go through that.

Freddy: OK!

The two drank from the bottle and shrunk. Just as they were about to go through the small they heard voices coming from the hall. "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!"

Riku: Quick lets go!

And they ran out into a new place that was all grass and bushes. They ran past the card that was guarding the door and jumped up onto the huge bushes just as a white rabbit ran through the door.

Riku: I see the girl, but we can't stand here we will be noticed!

Fredrick: Lets go into the forest until we have time to snatch the girl, it's through that doorway. *points*

Riku: OK lets go.

They jumped down and ran through the doorway. Moments later Sora emerges through the door fallowed by Goofy and Donald. Riku and Freddy sat on a platform in the Lotus Forest. Waiting for all the excitement to die down. They could hear raised voices coming form the other room.

Riku: I can't wait to see Sora and Kairi again, I hope there ok without me..

Freddy sat in Riku's lap and looked up at him.

Freddy: I'm sure they're OK Riku.

Riku: *put his hand on Freddy's head and began to pet her* I sure hope so.

They heard some people enter the forest. They were talking to each other. Riku and Freddy stayed were they were for a while they could hear who ever it was running around and fighting the heartless. Some time latter they heard a big commotion coming from the other room where the girl was.

Riku: I think its time we get her.

They left the forest and snuck into the other room. Their was a fight going on in the room cards flying everywhere Riku grabbed Alice from her cage knocked her out ran to the gummi ship. Thee flew back to where Maleficent was and gave Alice to her.

Maleficent: Good job Riku, you did well.

Riku: So do you know anything about my friends?

Maleficent: I might…know but I don't know if I can truly trust you yet.

Riku: I promise I will work with you as long as I need to, to get my friend back!!

Maleficent: Good then Riku, you can stay here with me while we look for your friends.

She showed Riku around the strange place and told him that he could go anywhere and do anything while he was there. Riku didn't fully trust Maleficent yet, but knew there was no other why to find his friends with out help.
