Chapter 1 A place to Relax
It has been the same meadow road for a year but thankfully our heroes, Sora, Donald, and Goofy, have had some stops on their search for King Mickey and Riku. Over a hill of the lush green meadows on a bright spring day, Sora spotted a little village near a river.

"Hey! Look a rest stop! And food!!" yelled Sora as he looked to his friends, who were high spirited and as excited as ever, ran right past him. "No fair, wait up!" he said trying to catch up.

"It has been a will since we found a place to rest. Huh?" Sora said, now in front.

"You bet!" squawked Donald in his duck like voice.

"Heyuk, yeah!" laughed Goofy, in the back of the line.

The group finally made it to the village. There were lovely little houses by the river and all around. The streets were filled happy people running around. The group came to a bread store and put their faces to the glass and smelled the sweet fragrances of freshly baked bread. Sora searched his pockets and sighed.

"Does anyone have any money?" Sora asked his fiends. Both Donald and Goofy shook their heads in despair with tears in their eyes. All three of the adventures gave a heavy sighs and dropped their heads.

"Here, you can have my bread," said a sweet voice. Sora lifted up his head to see a little girl in a turquoise dress and short brown hair that was tucked behind her ears. In her hands were three loafs of bread.

"No, I can't take this. Their yours." Sora said. Donald gave Sora a dirty look.

"Yeah," agreed Goofy. Donald gave him the same dirty look.

"It is all right. I was going to feed it to the fish at the river but the old people already feed them so I have no reason to have them. Besides, you guys look hungry." Said the girl with a smile on her face.

"Thanks!!" said the group and scarfed the breads down.

"You're a life saver, my names Sora and this is Donald and Goofy.

"Hi yah," Said Goofy.

"Hi," said Donald.

"Mines Marline. Nice to meet all of you," Said Marline and shook their hands. "You guys look new around here. If you need a place stay and a change of clothes, my dad owns a hotel and my mom owns a cloths store so, drop by. My dad's hotel is just around the corner. It's hard to miss and I'll show you my mom's store in a little bit. I'll meet you at the hotel. I just remembered I have some things to do. Ok?" she said and ran off.

The group was flabbergasted. "So, now what?" asked Donald.

"Well, we have a free night in a hotel and a change of cloths. I say we go for it and relax." Said Sora with a big grin on his face and put his hands behind his head.

The group followed Marline's directions and she was right, it was a big fancy hotel with beautiful flowers in the front and detailed stained glasses.

"Well, this looks likes the place all right." Said Sora wided eyed.

The group went into the hotel. The inside of the hotel was even more beautiful than the outside, bigger too.

"D-damn, she didn't say she was rich!" Said Sora. The group looked around and the receptionist saw them.

"May I help?" the man asked.

"Y-yeah, Marline, I mean, a girl told us that, uhhh, we could...."

"I told them daddy," said a voice from behind, "There new around here." The person that was behind them was Marline with supplies in her hands. "I thought you might need these, here." Marline handed the items to Sora.

"Thanks." said Sora and looked at Donald and Goofy.

"Oh, well great. Right this way," Marline's father led the way up the stairs, around a corner, and at the end of a hallway. Marline's father opened the door to a wonderful room.

"This is your room, sir," he said "And the other two rooms across from here are your friend's."

"Thanks," Said Sora and put his items on his bead but, before Sora got a chance to shut his door and tell his friends good night, Marline came down the hallway.

"Sora, before you get comfy, why not do a little shopping?" she asked.

"Why not, it's not dark yet. You guys coming?" asked Sora. Both Donald and Goofy shook their heads.

"Too tired. You go on ahead Sora." Said Goofy as he rubbed his eyes. Donald was in the doorway of his room already and shook his head and shut the door; Goofy did the same.

"Well, lets go," said Sora. Marline shook her head and gave him a warm smile.

"It's not too far from here so, we will be able to get back before dark. Don't worry, we have a wide variety of clothes for you to choose from."
